Chapter 98: The Python

She heard that there was a sudden flood in the south, the people had little harvest, refugees were fleeing, and the prince was grounded in the academy, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the disaster relief, and also paid 1,000 taels of silver out of his own pocket to fund the disaster relief.

The fisherman said with a sigh: "Childe, don't you know, how can the disaster relief grain of the imperial court be distributed to us, the official family only gives porridge once a day, there is more water and less rice, and the price of rice in the rice shop has risen wildly at the same time, which is not affordable for us ordinary people at all." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "Many villagers have fled, and our family, young and old, can't go, so we stayed, risking fishing for a living, and living for a day." ”

Hearing this situation, Zixuan couldn't help but gasp, she remembered that just a few days ago, the emperor had specially commended the prince for disaster relief, and she rarely paid attention to things related to him because she hated the prince in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the prince's so-called disaster relief not only failed to solve the problem, but also made the people's livelihood miserable, and even the emperor was kept in the dark by him.

Zixuan was very angry and said, "Didn't anyone go to Kyoto to complain?" ”

The fisherman said: "Why not, but the road to Kyoto has been blocked by officers and soldiers, and the people have no choice but to escape to the west far from Kyoto." ”

Zixuan sighed: "No wonder when I came, every level was heavily guarded. ”

She originally thought that those officers and soldiers were looking for herself, although they didn't recognize herself, but because of herself, she was very upset, but she didn't expect that they were actually trying to stop the refugees who went to Beijing.

The emperor is far away, and the prince blocks the refugees in a place with poor mountains and bad waters, and the emperor naturally can't hear the people's suffering.

The fisherman said: "Alas, Son, within a radius of 100 miles, there are no people, the terrain is flat, and the official family does not allow fishing, so we are forced to come here in desperation." ”

When he said this, his wife, who was sitting in the cabin, pretended to cough a few times, caught his attention, glared at him, and motioned for him not to say anything, so as not to cause trouble for the family.

The fisherman smiled and said, "It's okay to be a Hun family, it's okay, this little boy is not like a bad guy, and we are fated to him." ”

He said to Zixuan: "Don't be surprised, we, the little people who have no money and no power, don't want to cause trouble for ourselves. ”

Zixuan smiled, indicating that it was okay to stop, she moved her mind, put her hand into her sleeve pocket, took out half of the dry food and preserved fruit, and gave it to the fisherman's wife.

The fishermen and his wife looked at the dry food longingly, but refused: "Childe, you are more dangerous than us when you go up the mountain, so you should keep it for yourself." ”

Zixuan could see that they hadn't eaten a rough girl for a long time, and that look could tell it all.

She said sincerely: "You can take it, we meet in Pingshui, this is a little bit of my heart, take it back and give it to the elderly and children to eat." ”

The fisherman still refused again and again, until he saw that Zixuan was angry, and finally accepted it, and the fisherwoman thanked Zixuan very gratefully.

"No problem." Zixuan said.

The fisherman sighed with emotion and said, "Childe, since you insist on going up the mountain, the old man has nothing to give you, but every day, I will come here to collect the net, and if you are still alive, come down the mountain." ”

After that, while paddling, he carefully threw a bamboo whistle to Zixuan from his pocket, and said, "You blow the whistle as a guide, and the old man will definitely come to look for you." ”

Zixuan put away the whistle and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother." ”

After chatting and chatting, they arrived at the foot of Fuyin Mountain, Zixuan raised her feet and went ashore, saluted the fishermen and his wife, and then turned to leave.

The fisherman and his wife watched him leave, and the fisherman's eyes were a little reluctant to darken, this little boy was not a child of an ordinary family, but he chatted with him, a poor fisherman, for so long, and he still had a heart for relief, which was also rare.

The fisherwoman said: "I hope God bless him, even if he can't pick the blue flowers, he must keep his life." ”

With that, she folded her hands and prayed "Amitabha" in her mouth.

After Zixuan entered the mountain, she first put on a hooded protective suit, hung a soaked gauze mask around her neck, and when she encountered miasma, she could put it on in time, and then tied the cuffs and shoes and socks with cloth straps to prevent flies and leeches from crawling in.

She put her dark robe on the outside, so as not to be too conspicuous in the mountains and attract the attention and attack of some beasts.

In addition, put on rubber gloves, take out a machete and stick to go up the mountain, put on non-slip shoe covers, and after everything is packed, put the compass on your wrist and start going up the mountain.

The mountain was extremely humid, and I walked up in one direction, and less than 100 meters up, I saw leeches hanging from the trees in front of me.

Zixuan stopped, her mind moved, and took out a bottle of waterproof tobacco ointment from the space, which is what the mountain leech is most afraid of, and applied it to the bare face, and the entire protective hat to prevent the mountain leech from falling off her head.

Entering the depths of the mountain forest, there was already a miasma, Zixuan took the antidote pill, put on a soaked mask, and goggles, and walked forward cautiously.

Along the way, she had already seen many precious medicinal materials, but in her space pharmacy, the most important thing was medicinal materials, so she was not greedy, and went straight to the blue flower on the top of the mountain.

After walking for nearly two hours, Zixuan sat down on a sunny grass to rest, and the lightly salted sugar water was baked on the cake, chewing it in a big gulp, and her body was sweating a lot, and the lightly salted sugar water can replenish electrolytes.

Just when she chewed to the last bite, she suddenly heard a "hissing" sound, she immediately tensed her nerves, her body did not dare to move, and she looked around with her eyes.

A hundred meters to her right, a python was holding its head up and staring at her.

Zixuan sat precariously and swallowed the baked cake in her mouth, and she would definitely not be able to run at this time, so she could only outwit it.

With a thought, she took out a jar of realgar powder and a sharp short knife from the space.

At the moment when the python bit her, she threw the jar of realgar powder directly at its head, followed by a side dodge, successfully dodging the python's attack.

Zixuan condensed her thoughts, took out the jar of realgar from the space again, threw it around herself, and cut off the back road of the python before running away.

The snake is a cold-blooded animal with a grudge, and there is definitely more than one python on this mountain, if she kills that python, it will definitely attract the revenge of other big snakes.

After running for nearly half an hour, Zixuan stopped to catch his breath, no wonder so many people couldn't go up the mountain, not to mention the layers of poisonous miasma, just climbing up, it had already taken a lot of effort, and when I encountered a python again, I was not prepared, how could I survive!

She looked down from the mountain, almost scared herself away, only to see that at the foot of the mountain, the black and green river was rushing rapidly, visible to the naked eye, if this one accidentally fell, it would not be crushed!
