Chapter 173: A Poisonous Place

I looked at Wushuang nervously: "What is that person doing?" "

Wushuang looked at me with a nervous expression: "You can't look at this indiscriminately." If we startle the snake, won't we be able to catch him? "

I was taken aback: "You're going to catch him?" "

Wushuang gave me a blank look: "Nonsense, otherwise do you think I'm scared when I'm so nervous?" "

I laughed twice and asked, "How are we going to arrest him?" "

Wushuang thought for a while and said, "Wait, I'll take a sneak look." "

Then she pretended to fix her hair, tilted her head, and said to me, "There is a tree about ten paces behind you, and that man is hiding behind it." After a while, I will outflank him, and you will run over and hold him down, don't let him escape. "

I nervously touched the peachwood sword in my arms and nodded.

Suddenly, Wushuang whispered, "Run." Then she shoved me.

I was going to turn around and run over, but she didn't push me. As soon as she pushed like this, I immediately stumbled two steps and almost fell.

By the time I tried to chase the man behind the tree, he had already been spotted by the other party, and he was quickly fleeing backwards.

Luckily, there were few trees here, so he couldn't run very far, and I wasn't slow, so I quickly ran behind him and grabbed him by the neck.

Before I could pull out my peachwood sword, the man fell to the ground.

I held him down and was about to ask questions. Suddenly, there was a lot of dust around me, as if thousands of troops were rushing over. I was startled and quickly looked up.

At this time, I saw a white thing, slamming into my arms. I was knocked on the back and tumbled to the ground.

Then I saw a large flock of sheep running past me like crazy, and some of them even trampled their hooves directly on me.

When the flock was finished, I got up in embarrassment. I found Wushuang panting across from me. And on the ground sat a man with a frightened face and a dirty shirt.

This man looked at me and Wushuang, his face was frightened, his lips trembled for a while, and then he said, "The two kings spare their lives."

Wushuang and I were a little discouraged at once, and I asked him, "Who are you?" "

The man said, "I, I, I am, I am herding sheep and sheep." "

I scratched my head: "Why is it still a stammer?" "

The sheep herder slowed down a little and said, "Scared, scared." "

Wushuang looked at him suspiciously: "Are you herding sheep?" What were you doing sneakily behind a tree just now? Are you trying to harm us? "

The sheep herder waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare." "

Wushuang asked, "Then what do you mean?" "

The sheep herder said with a bitter face: "The two kings are here, I am afraid that if I come out and kill me, I don't know when you two will leave, so I will secretly take a look." "

The two of us asked for a while, and finally figured it out.

It turned out that the hut next to it was the sheep herder. This shepherd's single man guards this flock of sheep to live. I didn't see anyone for ten days and half a month. This morning, I went out to herd sheep, and when I wanted to come back at noon, I saw me and Wushuang from afar. So he drove the sheep aside and peeked behind the trees.

Unexpectedly, Wushuang was very vigilant and immediately discovered him. So I turned to chase him, and Wushuang flanked him. As a result, Wushuang happened to meet the flock of sheep. The sheep were so frightened by the murderous Wushuang that they immediately blew up the flock, and ran away without their lives, which is what happened just now.

After listening to the sheep, Wushuang waved his hand: "A false alarm, a false alarm." "

Someone else said, "Isn't that a false alarm?" Even the flock can surprise you. "

Wushuang's eyes glared: "Xu You, what do you mean?" "

I stubbornly said in a serious voice: "Wushuang, how do you say this." Zi said, gentle and elegant, this girl, fierce? What are you doing? The gentleman doesn't move his hands, hey, can you try to move me again? You're re"

We stayed outside for half an hour at noon that day. Half of the time Wushuang was chasing after me to beat me. The rest of the time, the two of us helped the herder to get the flock back.

When we drove the sheep back to the straw hut, the fat man and the abbot ran out with bright eyes: "Oh, here is the food." "

The sheep herder looked at us nervously, and then subconsciously guarded the front of the sheep. Then he thought about it, and then cowered and pulled out the thinnest one: "A few, can you save some food?" "

I waved my hand: "I have also seen this place, there are few trees and grass. It's not easy for you to herd sheep, we killed pigs and cattle as soon as we came, what have we become? "

The abbot waved his hand nonchalantly: "What's wrong with us eating a sheep?" Let's give money. Then he pointed at the sloppy Taoist priest: "This kid has more money than me." "

The sloppy Taoist priest didn't know that the abbot of the Dao was a liar, and thought that he was a real monk, so he persuaded him kindly: "Master." Monks abstain from meat and alcohol, and it doesn't seem good for you to kill like this. "

The abbot touched his scalp: "How do you say that?" When you go out, the wine and meat stink, and the Buddha stays in his heart. It is not easy for them to be cattle and horses in the world, so I should be overtaken for them. "

I shook my head: "I didn't even say the right cut of the wine and meat monks. Hey"

When the sheep herder had received the money, he did not say anything, but said to us, "You can choose which one you want to eat and which one you want to slaughter." However, these sheep can satisfy their hunger, and they must not eat more. "

The abbot was a little unhappy: "Fellow, what do you mean by this?" Our team does not take a stitch from the masses, and we all give money for food. "

Although the sheep herder was a little afraid of a few of us, he also saw at this time that we were not unreasonable people, he shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that. These sheep can't eat much, they are poisonous. "

The abbot was touching a sheep and wondering where to get the knife from, when he suddenly heard that the sheep were poisonous, and hurriedly scattered his hand.

Wushuang looked at the sheep herding and said, "Poisonous, you still let us eat it?" What heart do you have? "

I hurriedly grabbed her: "How many times have you said it, don't be so impulsive, listen to what he says, if he wants to harm us, will he tell us that these sheep are poisonous?" "

Wushuang muttered unconvinced, but he didn't say any substantive reasons.

The sheep herder pointed to this wasteland and said, "Several leaders, this"

The abbot called out to him: "What do you call me?" "

The shepherd of the sheep trembled and said, "Leader." Can't you call it that? "

The abbot nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, call twice." Let me listen to it. "

The sheep herder glanced at the abbot in surprise, even if he herded the sheep all day, he could see at this time that this abbot was simply two hundred and five. However, he didn't dare not scream, so he said respectfully: "A few leaders." Do you know why you don't grow food here? "

The fat man said, "Isn't this simple? Because there is no one here, you can't grow it alone, so it's okay to herd sheep. Growing food is not good. "

The sheep herder shook his head: "There is no one here because the land here cannot grow food." Even if the seeds are sown, the seedlings grow very small, and the grain produced is not as much as half of that in other places. And it can't be eaten, whoever eats it dies. "

We were all taken aback: "Food is poisonous? "

The sheep herder nodded: "This land is poisonous, and the grain that grows is also poisonous." So if no one comes here, the place will be deserted. "

Wushuang asked strangely, "How can the earth be poisonous?" "

The sheep herder shook his head: "I don't know what to say, a few years ago, an expert came here to take a look and said that there are heavy metals here." I don't know the specifics, but the people in our village listened to the words of this bullshit expert, and they dug here one after another, and as a result, they dug for a few days, and the gold was not seen, but they all got a strange disease, and many people died. Hey, these days, the more learned people are, the more they think about ways to harm others. "

I thought to myself, "What kind of mess is this?" How did you detain the basin to others? "

The abbot and the fat man were most concerned about the sheep, and the two of them asked, "Since the grain cannot be eaten, what is the matter with you sheep?" "

The sheep herder said, "Didn't we dig for gold here in those years?" As a result, everyone got sick and couldn't see it in the hospital, so they hired a Taoist chief. The chief took a look at it and said that he had been poisoned. But he didn't know what kind of poison Lu Dao was. So we brought him here to see. As a result, the chief took one look at it and ran away in fright. He can't mess with things here. "

I listened with relish and asked him, "What happened later?" "

The shepherd said, "The chief of the road received the money, but he was not cured, and suddenly he wanted to leave again." Of course we quit. The last one had no choice but to return the money to us. Later, when he reached the entrance of the village, I chased after him, and I had to ask him what could be done to make the food grow here.

"The Taoist chief was strange, and he asked me, 'The rest of the villagers have taken the money and forget it, why is this young man so persistent?' I said, 'My relatives have all mined gold here, and then they all died.' I don't want them to die in vain, I want this land to stop harming others' At that time, the Taoist chief was also very moved, saying that I was affectionate and righteous, so he taught me: 'This land is full of poison in it. The grass and trees of the elders on the ground are also poisonous. It's really hard to clean up all the poison in this field. '

"I was pulling the sleeve of the Taoist chief and begging bitterly, but the Taoist thought about it, and finally came up with a solution, and he said to me, unless you raise sheep here, let the grass here bring up all the poison in the field, and let the sheep digest the poison in the grass. After a few decades, it may be possible to grow food again. "

I looked at the sheep herder with a little consternation: "So you've been herding sheep here?" "

The sheep herder nodded: "Yes, I didn't dare to eat such meat at first." Then one time a sheep died, and I put it outside the house to throw it away, but a wild dog came and ate half of the meat. After a few days, I saw that the dog was fine, and then I realized that the mutton was actually edible. "
