Chapter 50: The Resurgence of the Storm in Hengshan (I)
In a blink of an eye, more than a month seems so short in the long river of history, a line of three people over the mountains and mountains, after hardships into the Shouhua swamp.
Summer equinox Kyushu: Yong, Hebei, Henan, Jing, Yang, Xu, Yan, Liang, Qing (from Yugong), of which Jingzhou has always been a wild land, Jingzhou is set up after the summer exterminates three seedlings, and then the land of barbaric Jing, the water and soil are warm and ripe, the folk customs are fierce, the miasma is pervasive, poisonous insects are rampant, according to historical records, the person who died must be four or five out of ten.
The surface of the fairy mountain or the things seen come down from the sky, starting like a projectile, gradually like a wheel, and then scattering. The disease in the human world is called the miasma.
On this day, a group of three people went to the territory of Shixian Mountain, and saw a thing on the fairy room mountain descending from the mountain, at the beginning, the golden light flashed, and suddenly fell down from mid-air, as small as a projectile gradually drifted away, as big as a wheel suddenly cracked, non-rainbow non-xia, five colors all over the field, the fragrance is compelling. The surrounding tribes suddenly wailed.
The fairy room mountain in the deep winter, famous for its gorgeous and colorful natural landscape, has the reputation of "unparalleled victory in ancient times, the first fairy mountain in the world" since ancient times, although it is cold, it looks from afar, a group of landscape temperament, the mountain is empty, the snow flying picture scroll can not hide the temperament of the fairy mountain, a frightened bird passes by the bushes, and the snow on the trees falls one after another.
A snow-shrouded tribe of nearly 100 people dotted among the cols of the Senmuro Mountain, compared with the wooden and grass structures in the north, the bamboo and wood houses here are particularly conspicuous, and they are very fragile in front of nature, and the fragility seems to be able to overturn the entire house with a gust of wind.
The streets were not deserted by the winter chill, but were in chaos, with some people lying on the ground holding their heads and crying, and some shouting on the street: "The miasma is coming, everyone cover their mouths and noses, and hurry up and enter the house." ”
In the prosperous tribe, the merchants did not have time to pack up the goods they were selling, the woodcutter carrying the wood on his back unloaded the wood, and the sanitation workers who cleaned up the manure threw away the toilet and ran away, and the dark yellow manure suddenly filled the tribe.
The nameless trio walked along the tribal street, and when they saw a group of people walking in a hurry, Nameless saluted and asked:
"This old man, is something going on here?"
"You don't know, there are several miasma gases here every year, and the death toll of our tribe can reach about 10% every year. It's not just miasma, poisonous insects, and monsters here. As he spoke, his face looked alarmed.
"What miasma, poisonous insects, they are all scared to death by themselves." Hou Yi looked at the man with contempt.
"Why are you like this! Our tribe has moved to three places in two years, and it is surrounded by miasma and poisonous insects, and many people in our tribe have died as a result. And thou hast teased thyself. ”
The man threw down his sleeves and tried to leave.
The pure fox girl will hold the nameless arm and nervously ask the passers-by, "What is miasma!" ”
The man stopped moving forward, and said proudly like a know-it-all: "You asked me the right person, there are two kinds of so-called miasma." Speaking of which, he looked at Nameless, Hou Yi and Pure Fox Girl.
Then he said: "One is called miasma poison: this poison comes from the mountain, falls from the mountain, at first glance, it is as small as a projectile, and when it is about to land, it is as big as a millstone, colorful, and falls to the ground, and the fragrance permeates the entire radius of several zhang away, and people need to seek medical attention immediately when they receive this smell, otherwise, they will die within three or five hours." ”
Then he added: "Today our tribe is suffering from this poison, but now it is better that now we find a kind of golden silk grass, smash it, drip the grass juice into the mouth of the poisoned person, and rest for two or three days." ”
"What's the name of another miasma?" Pure Fox asked curiously.
The man continued: "There is also a kind of poison called dense fog, this poison is mainly found in the dense forest, the area of dense fog poison, people do not see each other within a short distance, generally until the middle of the day, in order to distinguish objects, after touching, must be sick." There are several dense fog poisons not far from our tribe. ”
"There is a way to restrain yourself." Nameless asked.
"The thick fog poison is actually relatively simple to restrain before traveling, you must eat enough, and drink more wine at the same time, our tribe's millet wine is specially restrained by this thick fog poison. If you want to go out, take some with you. ”
Chunhu made a grimace and said with a smile: "You liar, you just said that we should buy your wine, and what kind of thick fog and wine restraint are just to make us believe your nonsense." ”
The man said solemnly: "Girl, you misunderstood, it's not selling wine, I plan to give you some wine when you leave, so that you can resist the miasma, our three Miao people are all authentic mountain people, living by hunting, I don't know where you come from?" Where to go? We are all members of the Huaxia Alliance, and we need to fight the enemy together and resist nature. ”
Chunhu felt the gaffe, suppressed his smile, and said apologetically: "I'm just joking with you, don't mind too much." We were going to Hengshan, but we didn't want to pass by here, and we wanted to stay here for two days. ”
"You're going to Hengshan?"
I wanted to stop talking, but I couldn't help but say: "I don't know where Hengshan is?" But don't go any further to the south, we just moved from there not far away some time ago, there is a monster over there, it eats all the animals around, it's okay it also attacks our tribe, each attack kills and wounds several people, the patriarch is worried, so we moved here. ”
"What monster? How I've been monsters lately. Hou Yi looked at the man depressedly.
