Daxin soon got better, and the Taoist chief was also practicing the spells taught by Mao Leyan, because the enchantment was still there, so Mao Leyan deduced that nothing would happen today, so he thought about taking advantage of this time to go out for a walk and see what else was wrong in the village.

However, just as Mao Leyan was about to go out, the scholar suddenly whispered in her ear: "Miss, something is wrong." ”

Mao Leyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The scholar whispered: "I can't tell the strange feeling, this village seems to be in a catastrophe. ”

Mao Leyan walked out quickly, and there was a warm sun in the sky, but behind the warm sun, there was a gloomy and cold breath quietly coming. She was shocked in her heart, "I underestimated Chen Ru'er, zombies can come out to move during the day, and Chen Ru'er's tricks will come one after another, I may not be able to protect the people in the village alone, scholar, immediately go to Mo Yan and let her protect Nancun, and I will go to deal with Chen Ru'er." ”

"But they can't get into the village." The scholar said, "It should be okay, right?" Besides, isn't there an enchantment? Wouldn't it be okay for us to arm first, and then arm another enchantment after the enchantment disappears? ”

Mao Leyan shook his head, "No, the large-scale enchantment can only be used once a month, and besides, we can't hide all the time, and the people in the village also have to live and eat." ”

At this moment, a man in the village hurriedly rushed into Wang Dali's house and shouted, "Patriarch, Dao Chief, come out quickly, something is wrong!" ”

Everyone's faces changed, and the patriarch asked urgently, "What's the matter?" ”

"Everyone doesn't know what to eat and drink, and many people are sick, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness and weakness." The man said anxiously.

"Poisoned?" The Taoist chief was taken aback, "Even if it is poisoned, it is impossible for so many people to be poisoned together, let's go and see first." ”

The population of Nancun is about 500 people, and more than 300 people have fallen ill, that is, more than half. Mao Leyan had a preliminary examination and suspected that it was food poisoning, but after checking what they ate with a silver needle, there was no toxicity. Now that the weather is cold, even if someone eats the leftovers overnight, only the person who eats it is unwell, but now almost every family in the village is sick.

Seeing that Mao Leyan was frowning and didn't speak for a long time, the Taoist chief asked in a trembling voice, "Miss Mao, what is the reason?" ”

Mao Leyan looked at the Taoist chief and said, "It is suspected that it is food poisoning, but I have checked what they eat, and it is not poisonous." ”

"Isn't it a demon?" The Taoist chief asked.

"Daytime demons can't do evil, and besides, I put an enchantment, and they can't get in." Mao Leyan couldn't figure it out, even if they wanted to poison it, it would be impossible for them to get in, could it be that there were internal ghosts?

There were not many medicines in the medicine box, which was not enough to cure so many people, so Mao Leyan had to take one of the patients out to find the doctor, of course, without telling the doctor that the patient was from Nancun. The doctor said: "It's a miasma, I'll prescribe a prescription and take a few pairs of meditation to recuperate, but it's fine." ”

Mao Leyan was puzzled, "Miasma? It's located in the north, and it's winter now, where does the miasma come from? ”

The doctor said solemnly: "Not far from Nancun, it is a deep mountain, few people enter and exit, the miasma perennials pervades, once the north wind rises, the miasma is taken out of the deep mountain, if I guess correctly, you should be from Nancun, right?" ”

Mao Leyan was stunned, "The doctor saw it?" ”

The doctor sneered, "Nancun is located at the bottom of the deep mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the miasma only enters and does not leave, and if it takes too long, it will naturally invade the body." In addition, Nancun is now haunted, the yin energy is flourishing, the yang energy is weak, and the symptoms may not be obvious when the resistance was good in the past, but now it is different. ”

Mao Leyan also felt that he was reasonable, but it was a little strange that a person who studied medicine would talk about ghosts. She looked at the doctor and asked, "Then I want a lot of medicinal herbs, do you have them here?" ”

The doctor sighed and said, "I'm just a small pharmacy here, and I don't have a lot of medicinal materials, but I can give you a prescription, and these medicinal materials can be found in the mountains." ”

"Isn't there a miasma in Yamauchi? How can I get into the mountains? Mao Leyan asked vigilantly.

The doctor looked at her and said: "Just find a few strong men, the miasma in the mountains is formed by the rotten gas of animals and plants, as long as the body is strong enough, do not stay in the mountains for a long time, it is okay, even if you are poisoned, as long as you eat the herbs raw in time, you can detoxify." ”

Mao Leyan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there other pharmacies nearby?" ”

"Now in winter, many herbs are lacking, but the deep mountains are warm in winter and cool in summer, and the herbs do not die. This is the only way to live. Moreover, the grass on the nearby hills has died, and it is impossible to harvest them in the nearby hills, and now only the deep mountains remain. The doctor wrote down the prescription and said, "If you don't believe me, you can give him the medicine I prescribed, and I guarantee that his symptoms will be relieved within an hour and he will recover completely in two days." It's just that the people in Nancun can't wait for two days, so you'd better wait an hour to see if he has improved, and then decide to send someone into the mountains to collect medicine. ”

"That's all there is to it!" Mao Le said.

After grabbing the medicine, Mao Leyan took the patient back to the village.

The patriarch knew some knowledge of herbs, he heard that it was miasma poison, he looked at the medicine that Mao Leyan brought back, and said: "It is indeed possible to treat the poison of miasma, and these herbs are found in the deep mountains." It's just that no one goes in the deep mountains all year round, and it's as hot as summer, and the miasma is so bad that I'm afraid that no one can get in. ”

Mao Leyan asked, "If you take this herb first and then enter the mountain, will it reduce the danger?" ”

The patriarch said: "It's okay, but you can't stay in the mountains for a long time, and if you have collected enough herbs, leave immediately." ”

Mao Leyan said: "Okay, this time, I will personally go into the mountain and find a few strong men to go in with me to collect medicine." Now I'm going to the pharmacy to grab a few more pills, and let the people who enter the mountain and me take them first, and then go into the mountain immediately. ”

After the medicine was caught, it was Wang Dali's wife who was in charge of frying it, and Wang Dali helped bring out the medicine and said, "Miss Mao, I have already selected a few people, and I will set off with you after drinking the medicine." He turned around and shouted, and several stout men stepped forward and said vigorously, "Let me introduce you." ”

He pointed to the dark-faced man and said, "This is called Xu Da, and Xu Er is a brother." When he said Xu Er, he pointed to the man next to him who was a little shorter than Xu.

"Hello Mao girl!" Xu Da and Xu Er stepped forward to salute.

Mao Leyan smiled and nodded, "Brother Xu, Second Brother Xu is good!" ”

"This is the fourth return, and I also went to sea to fish." He pulled a very tall man, about thirty years old, he was grinning, his two front teeth were gone, which made people laugh a little, "And this is a big-headed ghost." Mao Leyan glanced at the big head, and the real person was as big as his name, and his head was as big as a fight.

After everyone got to know each other, they all seemed to have a sense of mission, the village has been haunted for so long, everyone hopes to calm down this turmoil and serve the villagers, but no one has the ability to be a hero, it is rare to be able to go into the mountains to pick herbs now, and the people in the village put all their hopes on them, they will naturally try their best to do this well.

Wang Dali brought a bowl of medicine to Mao Leyan and said, "Miss Mao, hurry up and drink the medicine, they have already drunk it." ”

Mao Leyan looked at the black medicinal juice and drank it all in one go, and the sweet and bitter taste lingered in his mouth for a long time. She cleaned up and went into the mountains with scissors and sickles.

The Taoist chief also wanted to follow, but Mao Leyan asked him to guard here, she left, there could be no one without a capable person in the village, before she left, she secretly pulled the Taoist chief aside, and let Xiao Er stay in the village to help. The scholar had already gone back to inform Mo Yan and asked her to come over as soon as possible to meet, Mao Leyan expected that Mo Yan would be able to arrive before the darkness. So, she won't worry too much.

The road into the mountain is very rough, this is a primeval forest, few people will enter here, in addition to the miasma here, there are many wild beasts and poisonous snakes. Neither woodcutters, nor hunters, nor even people collecting herbs would come here. But now in order to collect medicine, everyone can't care so much.

The road is getting narrower and narrower, and slowly there is no road, thorns are everywhere, Xu Da Xu Er is holding a sickle to cut through thorns and open a road. The sun is shining through the dense foliage, the temperature is slowly starting to rise, and the dense jungle is impermeable, and the wind cannot enter or get out.

There is a smell of rotting corpses in the forest, which makes people almost sick. I can't take a deep breath and feel dizzy when I take a deep breath.

"Look, here's one of them!" Xu Er jumped up suddenly, they took the herbal medicine map given by the patriarch, looked for a long time, but they didn't find it, and finally found one of them here.

Everyone stepped forward to verify that it was indeed exactly the same as the picture, and Mao Leyan said happily: "I finally found one, quickly, pick it in the back basket." ”

Everyone unloaded their baskets and began to pick herbs.

Suddenly, I heard Xu Er's "oops", "There is a snake!" He crouched down, covering his left foot with a bare look on his face.

"Vipers!" Mao Leyan's eyes were sharp, and he saw a cyan snake into the grass and disappeared.

Everyone was stunned, Xu Da stepped forward to help Xu Er, and said worriedly: "Haven't you already coated realgar powder?" How can a poisonous snake dare to approach? ”

Mao Leyan took off his shoes and socks, the location of the poisonous snake bite was already black and swollen, and black blood oozed out, Mao Leyan said: "All the way into the mountain, there is wading in the water, and the smell of realgar powder has long been diluted." ”

Fortunately, Sigui is more familiar with snakes, and he said: "Where poisonous snakes are infested, there will definitely be herbs nearby to detoxify, I'll look for it." With that, he hurriedly looked to the side and looked around.

Mao Leyan took out the medicine box and cleaned Xu Er's wound first.

Sigui quickly retrieved the herbs, he put the herbs in his mouth and chewed them, then spit them out and put them on Xu Er's feet, then took off his belt and bandaged it for him, and said, "Don't move around first, we will pick the medicine here, and we will carry you in." ”

Xu Er's face turned blue and said, "Hey, I'm really useless, you don't have to worry about me, it's important to collect medicine." ”

Mao Leyan said: "Don't say that, no one wants accidents." When you come here, you are mentally prepared to encounter all kinds of accidents. ”

Xu Er nodded silently, sat on the ground, and put the collected medicine into the back basket with his hands.
