"Detoxification needs the soul grass that grows in the demon world, even if there is one in Nanzhan Buzhou, it is also smuggled by some demons to sell, the price is comparable to gold, it should be only available in the auction house in Zhongdu, and it will definitely not be in this kind of poor and remote land. ”

"Far water can't quench your thirst. Hu Bugui knew that this method would not work.

The south Zhanbu continent is wide in the north and narrow in the south, and a Tianlan River winds around this continent, and finally joins the vast sea.

The area where he was located was still thousands of kilometers away from the densely populated port city and the capital, and even if he drove to buy some soul grass and came back, all the people who were poisoned before the return trip would have died a long time ago.

After driving dozens of kilometers along the river, a half-clear and half-turbid gradual dividing line appeared in the river, rippling and blending, and there was a tendency to continue to spread downstream.

A boundary stone with the word Chen written on it stands on the riverside with a gray face.

It seems that this is the boundary of Chenjia Village, Hu Bugui turned the head of the car and drove in, it was not easy to attract attention when he put the car away and walked in, but if Yushuang came down, he would inevitably have more trouble if he was seen with a pair of red eyes after being poisoned, so he had to choose this way.

His car was naturally strange compared to the means of transportation here, and as soon as he entered the village, some people who had good deeds felt that they were puzzled, and hurriedly ran to tell each other.

Not long after, an old man with gray hair came out with a few juniors to watch, and was very puzzled by this behemoth that he had never seen before, and shouted from afar: "Who is coming, please come down and take a step to speak." ”

Hu Bugui drove the car to a shade of a tree, then jumped out of the car, and said loudly: "I am from Zhongdu, someone in the family is seriously ill, I heard that there is an old doctor living in this village, I want to ask to see him, please help introduce the old man, there is some grain and rice here, it is a little bit of my heart." ”

The old man was the village chief of Chenjia Village, and when he heard him say that he was a native of Zhongdu, he was polite in speech and manners, and his appearance was very good, so he believed in it eight or nine points in his heart, but the carriage had never been seen before, was it a new style of Zhongdu?

Hu Bugui took a few pockets from the car, tore open the sealing line to reveal the white rice, and the last trace of doubt of the old village chief also disappeared, and he looked at him gratefully.

In the year of the great drought, the crops were not harvested, they were all tightened to live, the emperor reduced taxes, personally begged for rain and sacrificed to the sky, the palace was vegetarian, and the money for disaster relief from the court was also issued in time, but the silver could not be kept at all, the left hand went in and the right hand went out, and in an instant, he exchanged rice for rice at an unbelievably high price.

The rice brought by this young man is dozens of catties, and he is frugal to make porridge to survive, which is enough for the villagers to get through the current difficulties.

Seeing that he had let down his guard, Hu Bugui took out a photo of Hua Tuo that had been printed a long time ago, handed it to the old village chief, and asked, "Is this the divine doctor in your village?"

"Exactly, the portrait in this mirror is exactly like the real person. The old village chief was amazed at how well the photos were restored.

A little incredulous about his good luck, Hu Bugui hurriedly said, "Please take me to meet him." ”

"You came late, someone from the upstream came the day before yesterday, saying that many people in the village were seriously ill, and we were worried that it was the plague, so we tried to persuade him, but unfortunately he didn't listen, and still followed the man. The old village chief said while looking at Hu Bugui with some vigilance, as if he was worried that he would take away the grain if he was not happy.

Of course, Hu Bugui didn't care about those bags of rice, but just asked: "Do you know who the person who took the old doctor is, what is his surname, how old he is, and which village he lives in?"

The old village chief was old and confused, and he couldn't remember it clearly, and a young man behind him said: "That man said that his name was Li Dalang, about 20 years old, with a long beard, and said that he lived in Xiake Village. ”

The ancients got married early, and it was normal for them to have teenage daughters in their twenties, and when Hu Buhui thought of coming, he just picked up the flat road under the scorching sun, maybe it was Yushuang's father who picked up Hua Tuo, and they must have been picking the shade of the trees to hurry, maybe they missed it perfectly in two clicks.

He didn't talk much nonsense, hugged his fists and said goodbye, and drove away.

Just got out of the car and talked for a while, hiding in the car Yushuang was like getting out of the water, the fat powder on his face was washed by sweat, Hu Bugui remembered that the carriage was a confined space, and it must be very difficult under the high temperature, so he hurriedly rolled down the window to let her breathe fresh air.

Although there was also hot wind blowing outside the car window, Yushuang's face was obviously much better, and he asked weakly: "Lord Immortal, why did we leave, isn't this the Chenjia Village that my father said?"

"Is the village you live in called Xiake Village, and Daddy's name is Li Dalang, with a big beard?" asked Hu Bugui.

"yes, but my dad doesn't have a beard. Yushuang said.

Hu Bugui was stunned, and faintly felt that something was wrong, if Xiake Village, Li Dalang, many people in the village were seriously ill, but the detail of the beard was not right, which is worth scrutinizing.

Since Yushuang said that her father has no beard, it is impossible for people to grow an inch-long beard in just two days.

And Xiake Village and Chenjia Village are separated by more than 100 miles, if Li Dalang picked up Hua Tuo the day before yesterday, no matter how slow he was, he should be able to rush back yesterday, and today he rescued Yushuang in the river, it is obvious that the villagers of Xiake Village did not see these two people.

If the village chief lied that people were taken away, then there was no need for him to show flaws in such a key detail, he could completely ignore Li Dalang's matter, and when he couldn't find anyone to question, he would use this to excuse himself.

Of course, it may be that Li Dalang changed his appearance, cut off his hair and pasted it into a beard, but this is extremely unlikely, how could he have the heart to do such a meaningless disguise when he was trying to rescue his daughter.

No, there is another possibility.

It cannot be ruled out that the village chief deliberately misstated Li Dalang's appearance, deceived him away, and took the opportunity to transfer Hua Tuo away.

Which one exactly?

Hu did not return to the details of the beard, and all the analysis results flashed in his mind, and his thoughts were in a dead knot, and he was not sure which speculation was correct.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Yushuang recalled thoughtfully for a long time, and suddenly said: "Lord Immortal, I saw a stranger wandering by the river a few days ago, like you said, with a big beard and wearing a black dress, I laughed at him at the time for being stupid and not knowing the heat. ”

How did I not think of it?

Excluding all possibilities that are impossible, the remaining one will be infinitely closer to the truth, even if it is no longer possible.

It's just the last speculation, and I'm afraid it's not good news for the little girl Yushuang.

The real Li Dalang was killed on the way, or was led to another place, and someone took Hua Tuo under his name.
