Chapter 40: Blood Vine
"Sister Wei, how did you recognize me?" Tan'er personally handed the tea to Wei Shuyan.
The first time she went out of the mountains to sell medicine, she learned a lot of ways to sell medicine from Grandpa Qiu before she went, and she also observed in the market for several days, but she didn't expect the first customer she met to be pitted.
Wei Shuyan is too eloquent, she can't keep up with this person's train of thought at all, so she can't believe what Wei Shuyan said.
Wei Shuyan didn't speak, she tapped her forehead with two fingers, and Tan'er touched her eyebrows and understood.
Wei Shuyan: "However, I didn't mean to cheat you that day, who asked you to sell fake ginseng." ”
"I didn't." Tan'er is very determined, and she doesn't want to be lying at all.
Wei Shuyan saw that Tan'er didn't believe it, so she motioned to Shen Ji'er on the side to explain: "Miss Tan'er, that ginseng is indeed fake." ”
"What?" Tan'er looked incredulous, and then seemed to wake up from a dream, "Oh, I know, it must be a Taoist priest who deceived me." ”
"Daoist?"
Everyone on the spot was curious about this new character.
Through Tan'er's description, I learned that in the few days she stayed in the medicine market, she was targeted by a Taoist priest and exchanged a fake ginseng for many of her precious medicinal materials.
Wei Shuyan is not surprised by this little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, she also suffered a lot of losses when she first took over the business.
Through understanding, it was found that the people in this village were not as strange as they seemed on the surface, but there was a clear rule here that the people tied to this tree were heinous demons, and they were not to approach or talk to them.
As for what standard the heinous heinous is based on, seeing this, Tan'er doesn't want to say more. They didn't want to snoop on other people's secrets, she had only one purpose, that is, to quickly find Blood Vine Luo and go back to save Xiao Yu.
Although there are many suspicious things about the village, she doesn't want to make a fuss.
Blood vine Luo is still far away from the village, the road in that place is even more difficult to walk, and it is not even marked on the map, and the village should not stay with outsiders for too long, so Tan'er decided to take them to find it herself.
Tan'er took Wei Shuyan and Shen Wei to the east of the village, and the further they went, the softer the soil became, and the more stuffy the air became.
When I arrived at my destination, I found that some vines were growing in a swamp in the middle of a forest.
The stronger the medicinal effect, the more luxuriant the growth of the blood vine is in the depths of the swamp, if you pick these few outside, you can rely on a few dead trees around, but since she has already come here, she naturally wants to take the best one.
And Tan'er said that the deeper the swamp, the easier it is to survive.
"I'm doing a good job, so it's better to let me pass." Shen Wei volunteered.
"It's useless, the soil below has a strong adsorption force, even if the light work is good, you need to focus on it." Wei Shuyan shook her head, "I'm thinking of a way!" ”
"Brother Shen, Sister Wei, let's have something to eat first! Maybe you'll be able to figure out a way when you're full. Tan'er placed the belongings she had carried with her on the cloth she had laid out in advance.
"Did you make this hibiscus cake yourself?" Wei Shuyan saw that this pastry was very exquisite, and the person who made it must be very exquisite, judging from her cooking skills last night, she shouldn't be able to make it.
"No, this is bought in the outside market, the village is in a special location, except for medicinal herbs, we can't grow anything, so we need someone to go to the outside market regularly to buy some necessities." Tan'er took a bite, with something in her mouth and her cheeks bulging.
She is still wearing the red dress of yesterday, and after taking off the veil, she looks lively and cute, and wearing the veil seems to be a different person.
The village has lived here for generations, except for Chu Tan'er's family, who protect the temple, they have not gone out for generations.
"I see, what kind of god is enshrined in the temple you mentioned last night?" Wei Shuyan saw that Tan'er was a little hesitant, so she said, "I'm just curious, so I don't have to say anything if I'm embarrassed." ”
Tan'er: "Actually, I don't know, it's just that my mother asked me to guard it, so I guarded it, and my mother, her mother, also let her guard it, so she didn't tell me why?" ”
Wei Shuyan asked, "Didn't you think about going over and finding out the answer yourself?" ”
Tan'er: "My mother said that you can't go in, and you can't let others in, Sister Wei, you seem to be very curious about things in the temple." ”
Tan'er is very sensitive to the affairs of the temple, and Wei Shuyan is afraid that she will once again be classified as heinous.
"She's just curious." Shen Wei on the side also seemed to feel Tan'er's change, so he helped to play the round.
Wei Shuyan: "I'm really curious, but if it were me, I wouldn't have stayed here for the rest of my life for an unknown reason." ”
Shen Wei was afraid that Tan'er would misunderstand again, so she explained: "She likes to have a clear goal, and Shen Ji has to make things clear." ”
"Isn't it good to be clear?" Wei Shuyan asked rhetorically.
Tan'er: "I don't understand this, I only know that this is given to me by my mother before she died, and I should do it well." ”
Hearing this, Wei Shuyan remembered her mother, before she left, she kept begging her not to take revenge, but she still failed her, but she didn't regret it.
Shen Ji saw that Wei Shuyan fell into a trance, and only said that she remembered her mother, so she patted her shoulder to express comfort.
Tan'er suddenly spoke: "Brother Shen, can I ask a question?" ”
Shen Wei nodded: "Miss Tan'er, please speak." ”
Tan'er looked innocent: "Aren't you sisters and brothers?" Why is Sister Wei's surname Wei, and your surname is Shen. ”
Shen Ji: "......"
Shen Ji: "Forehead ......"
Shen Ji immediately looked at Wei Shuyan for help.
"Because we're cousins." Wei Shuyan explained calmly.
"Oh, I see?" Tan'er nodded.
Among the food brought by Tan'er, the osmanthus cake can be eaten, Wei Shuyan felt a little dry after eating a few bites, so she got up and drank water on the side. She surveyed her surroundings and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"I have a solution?"
The two of them hurriedly put down their food and ran over, Wei Shuyan told her method, Shen Wei felt that she could give it a try, but Shen Wei proposed to let him implement it and Wei Shuyan refused.
Shen Ji helped her too much, she couldn't let him get into danger anymore, Xiao Yu was her sister, and she was also injured for her, so she should do it herself no matter what.
"Don't talk nonsense, we don't have time, Xiao Yu can't afford to wait." Wei Shuyan said that the wine was to be served.
Tan'er came over and interrupted her, "Sister Wei, can you promise me one thing, after you go out, please be sure to keep the affairs of the village secret." ”
"What if we don't agree? Will you die here? Wei Shuyan said, she didn't want to raise the bar with Tan'er, she just wanted to know the fate of those who didn't cooperate with the value.
Tan'er let go of her arm and said, "We will not hurt every innocent person, if you don't allow it, we are free to do it." ”
"Okay, I promise you."
After finishing speaking, Wei Shuyan jumped and walked towards the center of the swamp, while Shen Wei grabbed a thigh-thick dead branch behind him and threw it into the air, the two cooperated very well, Wei Shuyan stepped on the dead tree with one foot to borrow strength, and at the same time pressed the mechanism on his wrist, and the wrist guard launched a slender iron wire.
There was a sharp weapon similar to an arrow on the head of the thread, which was deeply inserted into the root of the tree opposite, and when it swung through the air, he reached down and got the blood vine as he wished, and then he borrowed his strength on the opposite tree with one kick, Shen Youyou threw a dead tree root towards the position of Fang Cai, unfastened the bracer and threw it away when he was in the air, and finally returned to the shore.
