Chapter Twenty-Six: Fresh Ginseng

At that moment, I heard a crisp popping sound, like a ripe watermelon, the sound of it shattering.

I'm telling you, it's really the most beautiful music in the world for me.

As the voice sounded, Jing Ke's head suddenly shattered, and the white brain pulp spilled, accompanied by red blood, poured my head and face, and I felt that my eyes were black, and a pair of eyes seemed to be covered with blood, and I couldn't open them at all.

I once saved Ann's life, her grandfather, shouldn't have poisoned me?

Probably not!

Thinking of this, my original desire to hold on to it was much lighter, and I didn't choose to open my eyes anymore, if I let myself fall asleep with peace of mind.

I don't know how long it took, but I woke up from my slumber and heard someone talking next to me.

At first, the sound seemed to be in the sky, but after a while, my consciousness returned, and I struggled to open my eyes, and saw me lying in a stone cave with a bonfire next to it, and the flames kept jumping, pulling the shadows around me to sway.

"Are you awake?"

I looked up, was helped up, and saw that the person who was talking to me was the girl Ann who I had rescued from the Linhu clan before.

I looked left and right, but I didn't see her grandfather, the black Gu Evil Come.

Ann knew what I was looking for, smiled, and said to me, "Your injuries are very serious, my grandfather has gone to help you find medicine, and he will be back soon." ”

I looked around the cave and said, "How long have I been unconscious?" ”

Ann told me that it didn't take long, just over an hour, and if you don't believe it, it's not dawn yet.

As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, I felt a very itchy throat and a weak body, knowing that the battle with Jing Ke had caused my body a lot of damage, and Ann saw that my face was pale, and hurriedly poured a bowl of red and black medicine from a crockpot next to the bonfire, and said to me: "This is the medicinal soup boiled by dragon blood vine, my grandfather said that you are over-depleted in essence and blood, drink some of this blood tonic." ”

She carefully brought the clay bowl to me, pouting to help me blow out the heat.

I didn't have too many doubts, took the bowl, tasted it first, and felt a bitter taste like Houttuynia cordata, but after I ate it, there was a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.

I followed Lu Zuo to learn the skills, I am a doctor with half a bucket of water, and I can have some confidence in the medicinal properties, knowing that this thing is at least not poisonous.

Of course, even if it is toxic, I am not afraid.

I poured all the bowl of medicinal soup into my mouth, let the warm medicinal soup slide down my throat and flow into my stomach, and I felt a hot breath rising, and the whole person was much more energetic.

I regained some complexion, and instead of communicating too much with Ann first, I closed my eyes and looked inward.

After some inspection, I found that many of my meridians were stagnant, and several other blood circulation places were blocked, and my internal organs were also injured a lot......

Soon, I felt the little red and found that it was still wrapped in the soul-chasing blue bee needle.

What's going on?

I was shocked and tried to separate the bee needle, but the thing formed a very close connection with the blood in my body, like some kind of magnetic field, and it couldn't be pulled off at all.

I asked Xiaohong to forcibly separate it from her body, but I felt a tear from my soul that hurt into the bone marrow.

Hurt......

I was sweating in pain, and Ann saw it, hurriedly grabbed me, and shouted, "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”

I opened my eyes, gave up the idea of letting Xiaohong pull it away, and asked, "Ann, I ask you something, you have to tell me the truth." ”

The little girl nodded and said Brother Lu, you are a good person, I will definitely tell you the truth.

I said that Jing Ke, is he dead?

Ann said to me, "How can you not die? My grandfather's head was shattered, and he couldn't die anymore. But speaking of which, that guy is really good, my grandfather told me that if you didn't help him, I'm afraid he might not be able to keep that guy......"

Jing Ke is dead?

So why is the bee needle he left in my body still dormant in my body?

My mind was full of confusion, and after a while, I came back to my senses, and saw that Ann poured me another bowl of medicinal soup, and I was not polite, so I took it and took a sip, and then asked, "By the way, I don't know how you left that day?" ”

Ann whispered, "I saw my grandfather on the road that day, and he picked me up." ”

I didn't ask her what means her grandfather used, but I cared about her identity, saying what the hell did your grandfather do, how could he be so powerful?

An's little face suddenly became a little bright, and he said proudly: "My grandfather used to be the great elder of the vine tribe, he had injuries on his body, otherwise it would have been even more powerful!" ”

I said vine tribe, is it your former home?

Ann nodded, and her tone became a little sad, and said to me: "Yes, our tribe has been living in the mountains and forests, living in peace and security, until two years ago, when those robbers broke into our homeland, saying that our people are evil believers, and they want to kill us. The tribesmen resisted, but in the end they could not defeat them, and the whole tribe was scattered, and many of my tribesmen were captured and brought back to them, and they have been kept as cattle for ......."

As she spoke, her tears flowed down her eyes and she said, "My father died in battle, and my mother was taken there with me, and then she was killed alive, and I was the only ...... If it weren't for you, Brother Lu, maybe I would have died there. ”

I listened to it and couldn't help but ask, "The Linhu clan is very powerful?" ”

An nodded and said: "Yes, it is very powerful, they believe in evil gods, and often fight with nearby tribes, and pull people back to worship evil gods, so as to gain power." I heard that their patriarch, that old witch, can connect the space and travel freely through different regions, and even the five elders under her command are more powerful than our patriarch, that Jing Ke, and the leading elders of several hunting teams, are all very powerful people......"

Hearing Ann's words, I couldn't help but take a cool breath.

I don't know the legend of the patriarch, but I have seen Jing Ke's methods with my own eyes, if it weren't for my desperate resistance, plus You'an's grandfather, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

This Jing Ke is still just a junior among the Linhu clan, and above him, there are so many elders and team leaders.

I didn't think that the Linhu clan was much bull before, but now I found out that "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain".

No wonder Jing Ke is just one person, and he dares to call for war with the Chinese.

In the face of the largest tribe in the entire region, he is not afraid, because he has been accustomed to his own strength since he was a child.

Thinking of this, I have a better impression of the Chinese people.

Even in the face of such a threat, they were able to straighten their backs and allow me to make the final choice.

I was shocked and couldn't help asking, "In that case, then why do you choose to be their enemy, why might you find a place to hide?" ”

Ann didn't answer, but a rough voice came from the entrance of the cave: "How can the hatred of the broken family and the death of the family be so easy to quell?" The old man has been living for a long time in his life, in order to kill one more lake dog, how can he stop? ”

I looked up, only to see Ann's grandfather bending over with a basket on his back.

The old man told the truth, he was not good-looking, his face was full of age spots, his skin was like withered bark, slightly rickety, his eyes were cloudy, and the corners of his eyes were full of excrement, as if he was an old farmer who had been working in the fields all year round, and his face was full of misery and resentment.

But when facing me, he still showed a little smile and stretched out his hand: "Let the guests smile, old man Chi Long." ”

I stretched out my hand, shook it with him, and said, "Boy Lu Yan." ”

Chi Long's hand was like a piece of dead wood, a little prickly, and I still held him for a long time before I let go.

He put his arm on my shoulder and said, "Brother Lu, you are not well yet, and you are sitting." ”

After that, he put the basket beside him, and then put his arm on my shoulder and continued: "Originally, the old man had no hope in his life, but you sent my granddaughter to me, so that I had a light in front of my eyes and the motivation to continue living, thank you." ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and said with a smile: "Old man, you are too polite to say this. To tell the truth, I have been coerced by Jing Ke all the way, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have died. You saved my life, so why should you do that? ”

Chi Long is also open-minded, laughing, saying that you say this, it seems that I am too stingy, don't mention it, don't mention it......

He sat down next to me, and Ann hurriedly poured a glass of boiling water from another mud pot and gave it to him.

Chi Long drank water, and I asked him, "Old man, I came all the way and saw that many people in the Linhu clan had died, and they were all poisoned by someone, did you do it?"

When he heard it, he couldn't help but stroking a few strands of long beard under his chin proudly, and said with a grin: "That's it, Lao Tzu is here to try his courage, endure the hardship, and don't dare to go to their territory to do it, I didn't expect to run to Death Valley, the old man has been here for more than two years, and he is the most familiar, where can he let them leave alive?" ”

My heart moved, and I was about to ask about Luo Xiaobei's news, but then Na An asked, "Grandpa, you said that you went to find medicine for Brother Lu, did you find it?" ”

Chi Long laughed, fumbled through the back basket, and grabbed a piece of something like a white radish.

When I looked closely, it was not a radish, but it looked like ginseng, and not only that, but it looked a little like a human, with a body and limbs.

As I stared at it, the thing shook slightly.
