Chapter 21: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Zhao You woke up and opened his eyes with difficulty, his vision was blurry as if a cloud was floating in front of him.
His arms were paralyzed and difficult to move, and he only flicked his fingers with all his strength, his breath was like a gossamer, and his lips were chapped.
Fortunately, no life is in danger, and he is still hanging on his life.
"Are you awake?"
The young voice came from not far away, as if the breeze was blowing the leaves, rustling without losing the ethereal, people couldn't help but feel a little quiet.
The blurred vision gradually approached through the sky light sprinkled on the mud and dust cheeks, and the barrier gradually became clearer when the trance faded.
But it was a young man with his hair tied in a bun and wearing a green robe.
The face was not real, but as the other party approached, the water vapor around him seemed to become gentle.
"Thank you...... Thank you ......"
"You were hit by a flash flood, and you escaped alive, and drink some water to rest first, don't move too much, so as not to involve the injuries squeezed out of the soil and stones in your internal organs."
The young man said, out of nowhere, the bamboo tube was slightly tilted in front of Zhao Youkou.
He opened his mouthpiece with all his might—the stiff flap of his lips barely cracked a slit, allowing a sweet spring to pour in, moistening the bottom of his stomach that burned like fire.
"Thank you...... Brother! ”
Lying on the ground for a while, Zhao You found that his body was no longer prostration, and slowly regained his strength, he tried to half-sit up, but the elbow arm supported on the ground slipped on the wet turf, and almost fell again.
The young man assisted him, and Zhao You's blushing face, which had just appeared in his miserable whiteness, pulled out a dry smile, and thanked him in a weak but sincere tone.
……
Chen Yu looked at the extremely weak man in front of him, and in the corner where the other party couldn't see it, there was a spirit-transformed silver light shuttling through his body, reflecting all tissues and organs, including muscles, bones, skin and flesh.
The injury is not light, but fortunately, I met him, although the spiritual liquid cannot be used rashly, but there are a lot of herbs in the floating field that can be used to refine the healing medicine, not to mention the Qi and Blood Pill.
No matter how unsatisfactory the latter is, it is always a elixir of the elixir level, which is of great use to ordinary people.
So after finding that the other party still had a breath left, he hurriedly exerted his mana, guided by spiritual traction, supplemented by the huge qi and blood gushing out after the digestion of the Qi and Blood Pill, and constantly repaired the injuries in the man's body.
While healing, he is also collecting data, wanting to see the limit of mana and qi and blood.
In the end, he didn't push his limits.
The internal organs, liver, intestines, muscles and bones, eyes, ears, mouth and nose... Even though there are minor or serious injuries everywhere, they can accumulate and even be so serious that they can kill people.
But after the Qi and Blood Pills were used up three and more than half of the mana was consumed, the scars inside and outside the body of the person in front of him had healed as before, and there was no longer any risk of festering and deterioration under the stimulation of qi and blood.
At this point, he was pulled back from the Ghost Gate by Chen Yu.
"Rest for a while, there's freshly beaten berries to fill your belly."
Chen Yu shook off a few fruits from his arms, both red and yellow, not big, and most of them had traces of birds pecking.
Although he didn't care about whether it was poisonous or not, the man in distress who didn't have a similar physique obviously didn't have this ability, and when he saw the gap on the berries that the insects gnawed and the birds pecked, the other party breathed a sigh of relief, and ate it boldly with confidence.
A trace of sourness loomed in his teeth and cheeks, Fortunately, the man also knew the current situation of his body in his heart, and he was not hypocritical, and swallowed all the fruits handed over by Chen Yu in three or five clicks.
Putting aside how much he could make up for the time being, at least the abdomen that was still empty was already more satisfied at the moment, and the man got up, half-sat on the ground, and hugged his fists at the young man, thanking him again.
"Little brother...... Thank you! ”
Zhao You had secretly studied in a private school for two months, but unfortunately he couldn't learn at home, and he couldn't spit out half a sentence for half a day, and his actions were awkward and weird.
Chen Yu didn't care about this, he just looked over and asked why the other party appeared in the mountains and forests, and was washed into this area by the flood, most of his body was buried in the mud, unkempt, if he hadn't passed by here by picking medicine, he noticed that there was still life, I am afraid that he would only be the victim.
In fact, the appearance of the other party was indeed unexpected, Chen Yu was originally practicing in a depression not far from this, refining the wonders to make it out of the illusory and coming to the present world, but a heavy rain almost disrupted the plan.
When the mountains and rivers broke out, I had to move my direction and go to the mountainside to find an open place with few trees and solid soil and rocks to continue.
Wait until the rain clears, walk Chenyu down the mountain, and just leave not far before I found the other party, dying and buried in the loess.
"Well, it's a long story......"
Xu is young man's temperament in front of him was dusty, which made him feel a little affinity, and he had just dug himself out of the soil to save his life, which can be called a benefactor of recreation, so Zhao You did not hide it, and confided the reasons and encounters for going up the mountain one by one.
The more he listened, Chen Yu's face gradually turned strange, he stared at the man in front of him who was still depressed because he had found nothing in the mountain this time, and he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
It turned out that the other party was sure in his heart, so braving the rain to enter the mountain was not purely looking for death. Unfortunately, when he went to the hidden cliff, he suddenly found that in a few years, someone else had taken the lead and picked all the herbs growing on the rock walls, crevices, and even grass vines.
Now there are only a few seedlings left, and it's really hard to start.
Zhao You was not discouraged, and immediately changed directions, he had been in and out of Huangwang Mountain no less than 100 times, when he was young, he was a hunter in ten miles and eight towns, not to mention that he had a complete insight into the situation in the mountains and forests, but he also knew the roots, where there were valuable herbs and where there were vicious beasts, all of which he expected.
He took a shortcut and walked towards another location where there was a high probability of a long-lasting medicinal plant.
In order to avoid landslides and debris flows, I deliberately selected and went around in a big circle.
Zhao You is indeed familiar with the mountain, but unfortunately Chen Yu's temporary formation is not in his cognition.
After passing through the narrow path, he picked a few medicinal herbs at the destination, and the roots were extraordinary, and it was roughly estimated that if he took them to the county town, they would be worth at least eight or nine taels of silver!
It's not low, it's not low, you must know that the satin-like white fox skin that you accidentally hunted back then was only five taels in hand!
However, before he could sigh that he was in time, he put down a boulder for the family's 'silver arrears', and at the same time, a stream of mountain water erupted from the mountain, mixed with mud and stones.
And Zhao You was unlucky to be washed away, and the herbs in the back basket were also lost along with the back basket, and he almost died.
"Actually, I was able to get around it at first, there were signs of the collapse a long time ago, but I didn't expect to be bumped into this time."
Of course, Zhao You didn't say a word, when he couldn't harvest on the cliff, he originally wanted to go to another place to continue collecting medicine, or try to make some traps to hunt.
But in the heavy rain, walking and walking, a white mist inexplicably rose in the forest, which could not be dispersed, which was very strange.
Unwilling to provoke the gods and ghosts in the mountains, he had to avoid it, and finally chose the place where he suffered.
……
"Now that the herbs have been lost, and my body is still injured, I don't know when I will recover."
Zhao You sighed, and was about to get up and look around to see if he could recover the lost basket, or go to a few places in his memory to check and find a few more to fill the vacancy, otherwise it would be difficult for his family to take out ten taels of silver at once.
"Herbs...... There are some poor roads here. ”
When the words fell, the other party was shocked by this identity, so he called the Taoist chief Engong again and again. Then he politely declined to thank him.
Chen Yu waved his hand and didn't care, and said that he had entered the mountain this time for cultivation, and the medicine collection was just a convenient one, and the use was not great.
He stretched out his right hand and scratched it a few times behind his back, Zhao You turned his head to look, but saw that the other party had a bamboo basket behind him at some point, not big or small, very similar to his own.
My heart jumped faintly, did he come with a basket on his back?
I was a little puzzled, and the next moment my thoughts were soothed by an invisible force, as if it was just an illusion just now.
By the way, the Taoist benefactor has always carried a bamboo basket on his back, but he was tired of the injury and his attention was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he didn't notice it...... Probably.
On the other side, Chen Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed it a few times, and then handed it back to his eyes, and there were four or five more herbs in his palm.
"He Shou Wu, Angelica, Yellow Lotus Seed, Yunqing ......"
They are all common medicinal plants, and the age of the medicine is not long, although Zhao You is injured, his eyesight is still there. At a glance, you can see that these grasses contaminated with water and soil are no more than ten years old.
However, even so, the ten years of He Shou Wu and Yun Qing are still worth a lot, there are jackals and wild leopards in the depths of Huangwang Mountain, and the herbs on the periphery have become rare in the continuous picking of them for decades.
Even if there were really remnants of medicinal plants in the few places he remembered, it was estimated that it would be at this level.
If you take it out, someone will buy it, and the price is not low.
"Benefactor, this, this is really ......"
It can be seen that the man is stupid, he really can't say many good words, and he is grateful for the shouting of only a strong benefactor under the tears, and even struggles to get up and bow.
"Wait, these herbs are given to you, but they are not given away in vain, and you still need to do one thing for the poor road."
Due to the emotional fluctuations caused by the injury, the thoughts were flying, and through the mental gap that seemed to be like a cloud and mud, Chen Yu could easily capture some of the other party's longing consciousness.
Intermittently, but it can also introduce factors that have not been mentioned before, and the whole process of distress seems to him in addition to the fact that this man did commit Tai Sui before, which is quite unlucky, and the formation he arranged also has a certain impact.
The right should not be a compensation for making up.
Chen Yu didn't care about the herbs in his hands, saying that he could sell them at a high price in the county town under the mountain, but he had planted too much in the floating fields.
It has not yet succeeded, but the plan of Ukida has changed, some of the herbs have been cleaned up, and those that are enough to replace the spirit plants are taken to alchemy, and the lower value, such as those in the hands, will be disposed of at will.
He originally planned to collect and throw his brains into the wonders and turn them into spring mud to protect the green earth.
And now that they have met each other, as Chen Yu himself said, meeting is fate, and giving some plants waiting to rot and wither to the other party is really not a big deal.
On the other side, Zhao You, whose complexion was gradually getting better, became more and more excited, and his expression was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he even gave up his life to reciprocate.
Chen Yu said with a smile: "Of course there is no need to be like this, but the poor road traveled all the way, passing through Huangwang Mountain and seeing the sky and the earth, so he escaped into it and practiced for a few days.
Nowadays, I don't know much about the nearby places, but now that the flash floods have broken out and the mountain roads have washed away, it has become a problem to go down the mountain. If I can, I hope I can take the poor road down the mountain,"
In and out of the words, he said that with the help of the other party's experience as an old hunter, Zhao You was very useful, and at the same time secretly swore that he would find a way to walk, looking at the benefactor's long face and handsome face, but his body was not strong, and it was estimated that there was not a few taels of meat under the robe, and the rugged and cramped mountain road would definitely not be easy to walk, and if he didn't pay attention, he would suffer.
The thought turned, he hurriedly responded, and said that he would be able to leave immediately, take the Taoist chief to Xujiazhai together, and said that with such miraculous medical skills, the Taoist chief will definitely be able to make a name for himself locally.
Chen Yu shook his head and chuckled, not interested in what he said about fame.
He is different from Qian Xuanzhong, and his fame is useless and unnecessary with him.
The request to lead the way is just to give a step, so as not to keep refusing and delaying time.
"Alright, let's go."
Huh?!
Zhao You was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would have to rest again, after all, he was so heavy on his body, he was thirsty and hungry in his stomach, and he would have to walk several miles of mountain roads later, which was obviously a hard work, and it would be difficult if he didn't rest enough...... Hey!
Just thinking about it, he was stunned, only to feel that the strength in his body had been restored, and the numbness and tingling pain in various parts of his body that he had just woken up was gone, and there were still bursts of warmth, and there was heat in his abdomen, dispelling the cold that had penetrated from the rain and dew a few days ago.
He was puzzled, and soon, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up and saw the young Taoist who had already walked away.
Don't......
Hiss - this medical skill is too miraculous!
"Benefactor! Wait for me, wait for me! ”
Without thinking about it anymore, he hurriedly got up, and at this moment he finally made sure that his injury was no longer serious, he could run, jump and shout, and he was almost healed before he knew it.
Well? Behind the benefactor, there doesn't seem to be a bamboo basket? Maybe I'm mistaken.
……
Chen Yu naturally didn't have a bamboo basket, it was just the use of the Xuanyang Void Sense, which distorted the other party's five senses by a small part, and reconstructed the shape of the bamboo basket and pasted it behind his back at will—the place where he really stretched out after reaching out was a strange scene.
Several medicinal herbs were also taken out from Qinghao Mountain.
"I can finally store things in it, and now that the scenery is solid, it's really much more convenient."
He thought that Qinghao Mountain had just solidified, and fell into the world after getting rid of the illusion, but fortunately, the heavy rain did not interrupt or cause interference, so that Chen Yu'an could stabilize the entire mountain steadily, and he did not jump out abruptly in the strange scene, otherwise there would be more than a half-star torrent that broke out that day, at least Huangwang Mountain would have to lack a gap!
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Wonder Scene itself also had a stronger carrying and restraining force after condensation, he would not have been able to support it at all with his little strength and mana.
Fortunately, everything is over, Qinghao Mountain is firmly fixed in the wonder, the sea of clouds is churning, condensing into a lake, and now it has dispersed the dark clouds that have been rich for more than half a year, and the white light is scattered from the high sky.
Needless to say, the benefits of the condensation of the strange scenery are not much, and he also found that the land of Qinghao Mountain, which he did not pay much attention to, seems to be a little miraculous, not as good as the floating field spiritual soil in terms of fertility, and inferior to the Qingtai yam field in terms of inducing mutation.
But it contains a lot of nutrients, and it also has a certain ability to induce mutation, although I am not proficient in everything, but the most important thing is that these soils seem to be inexhaustible!
Dig out a piece, just fill it with the sea of clouds, and water it with spiritual liquid spirit stones, and it will be able to grow again in a short time.
What's more, after the Yuan Shen stepped in, the soil quality also changed slightly under the illumination of spiritual power, becoming more special.
After discovering these, Chen Yu did not try to verify them as soon as possible, but transplanted some of the herbs, wanting to try to plant them through this new 'small world'.
There is no sun and moon, no spring and autumn rotation, and I don't know if it can grow into a ......
