Chapter Twenty-Three: The Variety of Worlds
The heat on my forehead was not frightened by these two policemen, but by Mao Tongzhen's burning sun.
During my week in the mountains, my internal injuries could not heal due to lack of medical treatment.
Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao once introduced the power of Mao Tongzhen's palm technique, it is not easy to cultivate, and the success is fierce, the reason why this guy can be ranked in the position of the ten elders of Maoshan is actually very important to his practice. This thing, when it enters the human body, the true qi is very corrosive, residual poison, not a unique solution, it cannot be removed, and it is very poisonous. I tried to use the old method of the mountain pavilion to practice qi, but the whole body was hot, it was very hot, and the fat insects were useless, this thing was yang poison, and the fat insects were somewhat compatible, and the two fought very fiercely.
It's just that the yang poison has been integrated into my body, the more I fight, the more painful I am, sad that I can't do it, although there are herbs in the mountain, but not all, although the tiger cat has a prescription to relieve the yang poison, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, which is also one of the reasons why we take great risks and go out of the mountain.
However, in my body, in addition to the palm that Mao Tongzhen hit me, there was also the black light emitted by the paper ghost lighting technique on the wall, which was also causing chaos. The black light is a flesh thorn, deeply rooted in my spiritual imprint, like a slug, I can't shake it off, and it has a connection with the outside world, if it weren't for the bronze escape ring sent by the senior brother, to help us cover our breath, I can't say that as soon as we get out of the dark river, we will be found again.
Such a yang and a yin, whether it is an attack or not, tortures me to the point of pain.
On the contrary, there are fat insects that are constantly repaired, and the miscellaneous hairy trail after healing is smooth and smooth, and I have infinite sympathy for a dark disease. When I was in the mountains, he made an exception to use the big six to help me divinate a hexagram. As a result, after the calculation, the miscellaneous trail finally understood why I was so unlucky, and the following is a very classic dialogue, which happened between the two of us, and the excerpt is as follows:
Miscellaneous Xiaodao: Hey, how old are you this year?
Me: 23 years old, uh...... I'm 24 years old at the end of the year, what's the matter?
Miscellaneous Trail: What color are your bottoms?
Me: Uh, black......
Miscellaneous Xiaodao (Angry): In the year of your birth, you are still wearing red bottoms, and your skull is in the water, do you want to die? No wonder you've been unlucky lately, and you're also half an insider, can't you be a little more particular? It's so bad that brother, I'll accompany you to the end of the world - go, go buy bottoms when you enter the city, red! Fit?
……
Although I am extremely reluctant to admit this statement, the miscellaneous trail still attributes the reason why we are so unlucky to the fundamental problem of underwear. This is also the reason why Lan Xiaoxian, the trainee policewoman just now, found a pair of red bottoms from her backpack.
I still have a whole dozen of the same bottoms in my bag.
Miscellaneous Xiaodao got some ice water, soaked a towel, and then put a patch on my forehead, and the tiger cat flew in with fluttering wings, and when he saw me like this, he asked with a little concern, "Another seizure?" ”
Miscellaneous Xiaodao nodded, while the little demon held my hand and said Stinky fart, what should I do?
The tiger cat walked around on the quilt on my body, a little sad, and said that the interval between seizures is getting shorter and shorter, and this is not going to work - little miscellaneous hair, in this way, you go to the county town, find a few pharmacies, and catch the medicine according to the prescription I gave you, remember, catch it separately, don't concentrate, so that it is easy to be touched. The main flavor of this recipe is snow lotus, it must be five years, one more year is not good, old, one year less is not good, and the medicinal power is not enough. It's best to be from the Tianshan Mountains, if not, you can also pick it from the snow-capped mountains nearby.
Miscellaneous Xiaodao made a bitter face, sighed, and said that when he was young, his uncle had nothing to do, so he sent that thing to the house, as a cabbage to chew, and now if you want to find it temporarily, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get it. Alas......
He got up and was about to go out, but I stopped him and said wait, I'm done with the fire, let's go together.
There is also a section on witch doctors in "The Twelve Methods of Suppressing the Mountains", so I can still talk about identifying medicinal herbs, and I am not very happy to really stand up here like a sick person, as stubborn as I am. Miscellaneous Xiaodao was also able to understand my feelings, nodded, waited for about half an hour, my body temperature returned to normal, went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, and then went out with me.
The little demon has to follow, but her goal is also obvious, we have to persuade her to stay in the room to take care of the luggage, otherwise if it is secretly searched, I am afraid that we will run away again.
This is a big deal, the little demon pouted and rubbed for a while, helpless, only let me leave Duoduo and the fat worm behind to accompany her.
After all, two ghost swords, a flying sword that was seized and suppressed, and many other belongings, are all here, and they can't be missed.
I got rid of the entanglement of the little demon with the miscellaneous hairy path, walked out of the room, and when I walked past the front desk of the hostel, the proprietress Moyang came up and said that the two little brothers have offended a lot, and I have no way to do it, sister, it is all the above regulations......
I smiled bitterly and said where, it's just delaying you to earn the 200,000. The proprietress is an eight-sided delicate character, seeing me say this, knowing that we have anger in our hearts, so we persuaded each other with good words, and deliberately said a lot of well-behaved good things, we also have things, too lazy to break with her, so I said a few words, then stopped talking, and told her that the matter was revealed, and the next example is not an example.
Out of the hostel, we went north, Ningnan County is not big, we asked a few locals, and then went to a few shops selling traditional Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine and Yi medicine, and bought some medicinal materials in batches, but the main medicine for the treatment of this injury, is the snow lotus of the five years, but there is no in this small place. I asked several families, even if there was Snow Lotus, it didn't meet the requirements of the tiger cat, and I was quite helpless.
I was thinking that if there was none, then it would almost be okay, but the miscellaneous little way was unwilling, saying no, missing a millimeter, and lying wrong.
We turned to the afternoon, and the owner of a pharmacy told us that there was a dirt market at the west entrance of the city, and there were many countrymen who came to sell some local products to try their luck, and maybe they ran into them and bought what we wanted; Or, go find Wang Tao who poured matsutake mushrooms, this guy has a wild road, and he can't say it, but he also has to spend the money of the old nose.
The boss is right, in fact, even if he really has a five-year-old snow lotus, we may not be able to afford it. When we first ran out, our relevant accounts had been frozen, and even if they weren't frozen, we didn't dare to take them, for fear of exposing our identities; Lao Wan gave us 10,000 yuan of running away fund, and spent a little 3,000, and just now I spent another 2,000 yuan to buy medicine, and the remaining 5,000 yuan, where is enough to spend?
Hearing this, I didn't say a word to Zamao Xiaodao, went out and turned left, and went straight to the earthen market at the west entrance of the city. When I left, I also asked Zamao Xiaodao, don't you know that Wang Tao? Why don't we go to him?
Miscellaneous Xiaodao sighed, saying that recognition is recognition, but the friendship is general, and it can't be compared with the brother who has passed his life like Wan Yicheng. If we go to him, let's not talk about whether it is reliable or not, if it is reliable, it may not take such a big risk to help us. In this world, there are people who can help you without asking the reason, and they are called scholars, and the scholars are the dead soldiers of their confidants; Some people don't, in their hearts, they only have themselves, and they can't tolerate others, this is also called selfishness, selfish selfishness - Wang Tao, this guy, is the latter, a friend of wine and meat. Besides, we can't harm him......
When I was telling me this, we happened to pass by a restaurant, and there was a dirty old woman in her eighties who was wrapped in a Yi blue papa, and she was fishing for something in a swill bucket at the door.
The bucket of swill was full of fish and meat that the guests could not eat, and the old woman went to catch it and eat it.
I and Miscellaneous Xiaodao couldn't stand this kind of thing the most, so we hurriedly went up to stop it and helped the old woman up. The old woman was also dizzy with hunger, and when we set her up, she was dazed, and we didn't understand what she was saying, so we asked the waitress of the lively restaurant. The waiter said that the old woman came to the county to see her grandson, but she didn't find it, and the money was stolen by the thief, and she was so hungry that she couldn't find a few shops to beg for water, but they were all blasted out, and there was no way, so she picked up the bucket of swill.
Seeing this old woman's old appearance, I couldn't help but think of my grandmother who raised me since I was a child, my heart was uncomfortable, my nose was sour, and I quickly helped her into the restaurant and asked the waiter to get a glass of water.
The waiter was about to turn around, but a middle-aged man with a meaty face jumped out, with a wicked face, scolding, and saying don't let this old beggar in, and dirty Lao Tzu's shop. This person is the owner of this shop, as he spoke, he reached out and pushed us, and the miscellaneous hair Xiaodao raised his eyebrows, and he was angry, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed this guy's neck and said viciously: "Fetch a basin of water, wash her, and fry a few vegetables, the money that should be given is a lot; If you don't do it, believe it or not, the master smashed your store? ”
The wicked still need the wicked to grind, and the loud words of the miscellaneous hair trail shocked the shopkeeper, only to see this guy muttering two words and turning his head to leave.
The waitress was a kind-hearted girl, and brought a basin of water to wash the old woman's hands and face, and then brought a cup of tea, and the old woman grunted and drank it in one go. The waiter brought another cup and translated it for us. It turned out that the old woman had a grandson in the county, what kind of business to do, and then she didn't go home for a long time, the old woman missed her grandson, so she secretly avoided her family, walked dozens of miles of mountain roads, and then took a ride to the county seat, only to find that her grandson's previous shop had long been closed, and his wallet was lost. She had never been out of the mountain a few times in her life, so she knew that she was in a hurry to death......
The old woman was hungry for a day, and the waiter served three dishes, and she ate two large bowls of rice alone.
We have something to do, and it is inconvenient to accompany us all the time, remembering that the policeman named Li Dongyang at noon said that he could contact him if there is something, so I borrowed the phone of the restaurant and dialed it, and Officer Li was also responsible, saying that he would come over to take a look in a while.
Seeing that this old woman was pitiful, he asked us how much money we still had, and I said five thousand, and he stretched out his hand and said to take four thousand.
This guy is a hands-off shopkeeper, and I have always been in charge of the money. But since he spoke, I can't refute his face, so I took out a pile of hairy grandpa, and the miscellaneous hairy Xiaodao took one to pay the bill, and the rest were all stuffed into the old woman's hands. The old woman could eat, but the money was never accepted, and the two did not understand the language, so it was a bit of a prevarication. At this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and someone walked in with a sneer: "Give me this money, right?" ”
