Chapter 36: Sunset

As the sun sets, the deep night crawls out of the horizon, and as the afterglow of the twilight fades, it gradually melts itself into the exhausted Xianyou Village.

In the newly built "government medical center" in the village, the atmosphere of despair has become more and more intense.

Mattresses made of straw were laid on the ground inside and outside the government medical center, and the house was crowded inside and outside.

Although most of the more than 100 households in Xianyou Village still escaped by luck, in the face of such a big change, there are always unlucky people who can't escape.

According to later statistics, a total of four villagers were injured by the fragments produced by the volley explosion of the shells, two of them died on the spot, and 66 villagers were slightly or severely poisoned by inhaling blue smoke.

The Wei fleet left the offshore sea after firing six shells, but the wandering shadows at the junction of sea and air made Shi Cheng realize that this was only the beginning.

What the future holds, no one knows.

Shi Cheng, who had been busy all afternoon, sat down weakly in the corner of the wall, and he looked a little sluggishly at the wounded and sick patients in front of him who were crammed with thatched huts, courtyards, and paths outside the courtyard gate, and beside Shi Cheng, there were notes he had just flipped through.

Tesso walked into the infirmary out of breath, he carefully avoided the villagers lying on the straw mats, walked in front of Shi Cheng, and whispered in as simple a wording as possible: "Shi Chengyi, all the families of the wounded and sick have gone back to rest, and I have left some careful ones here to help you take care of the patients." ”

Seeing Shi Cheng nodded, Teso glanced at the patient closest to him, he squatted down and asked quietly in a dry voice, "Can you understand my question?" Tell me the truth, how many people will survive? ”

Shi Cheng sighed softly, and replied in a whisper in the half-baked Chu Ze language: "The poison is very powerful, you have to be prepared that at least half of the people will not survive, for the rest of the people, even if they can survive temporarily, they will fall into the root of a lifelong disease, and it is unknown how long they can live in the future." ”

Teso's eyes were slightly red, he clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it! ”

"I'm sorry." Shi Cheng said.

"It's not your responsibility." Teso shook his head, he stood up, and continued, "Shi Chengyishi, I have to go home first, I need to send an urgent message to Kawa City quickly, explain our situation here, please support us as soon as possible, this matter cannot be delayed any longer." At the moment, there are really not enough people here, and you can only trouble you until the help arrives. ”

Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

After Teso left, Shi Cheng walked out of the thatched hut, and in the courtyard where there was only the sound of groaning, Wu Neng and Tie Mian were boiling herbal soup with the villagers who had stayed behind to help.

Seeing Shi Cheng coming to him, Wu Neng hurriedly raised his head and said, "Old Shi, the medicinal soup will be cooked soon." ”

"Okay, good work."

Tie Mian looked at the villagers who were taking care of the soup pot not far away, and asked softly, "How is the situation now?" ”

Shi Cheng shook his head, "At least half of the people here will die, and the rest will be disabled for life." ”

Wu Neng's lips trembled a little, even though the three of them had seen hell on earth in the poisoning case of the Western Desert King City before, today's scene still made him unacceptable.

"Why...... Why did the Wei people do such a thing......" Wu Neng muttered.

"Is there a way?" Iron Mask asked.

Shi Cheng still shook his head, "I can cure them, but I don't have any medicine on my body that can be used." We can't take the pill to treat them, in that case, under the impact of spiritual power, the villagers who took the medicine are afraid that they will explode and die on the spot. ”

"Can you tell if you've been poisoned?" Iron Mask asked again.

"I checked it carefully this afternoon, it should be a cream." Shi Cheng's face was very ugly.

"This is it?!" Iron Mask was also taken aback.

"What is a cream?" Wu Neng asked curiously.

"It is a special herbicide used in the old days to reclaim the spiritual field and remove the weeds grown in the place where the spiritual energy is shrouded, more than seventy years ago in the Eastern Continent and the North and West Continent was very popular with the major sects, but later, this medicine was proved to have great side effects in the process of use, so the various sects began to stop using the cream, and then this medicine faded out of people's field of vision, I didn't expect to be able to see it here again today."

Although the flow of spiritual energy in heaven and earth became chaotic after the battle of the gods, there are still many places in the world where there is a large amount of abundant spiritual energy, and for monks, such a place is a blessed place conducive to cultivation. In addition to being conducive to cultivation, these places where the aura flows all year round can also be reclaimed into fields for cultivators to artificially cultivate and grow spiritual materials and food suitable for the monks.

Of course, the places suitable for cultivating spiritual fields often have very dense grasses, and some plants have even gradually turned into aggressive spirits under the nourishment of the aura. In this case, in order to facilitate the cultivation, some monks will use some powerful and effective special herbicides, which are one of the creams.

"No wonder the medicine is so powerful." Wu Neng only felt that his entire back was cold, "Fortunately, when the warship came in the afternoon, everyone evacuated in time, otherwise I don't know how many people would have suffered." ”

Shi Cheng sighed and said, "What you think is still too simple. ”

Seeing that Wu Neng and Tie Mian both cast puzzled glances, Shi Cheng didn't say much, he squatted down and dug up a handful of dirt from the ground, and then, Shi Cheng took out a delicately constructed spray bottle from the storage bag he carried.

Shi Cheng aimed the spray bottle at the soil and sprayed it lightly three times, and soon, a faint layer of light red appeared on the originally dark brown soil.

Shi Cheng took back the bottle, moved his hand to the fire where the soup was cooking, and then said to Wu Neng and Tie Mian: "You two must have stronger eyesight than ordinary people, come and take a look, can you find anything unusual?" ”

"Dirt...... Turned red. A flash of realization flashed in Iron Face's eyes.

"That's right, it's because there is some special substance in these soils that it changes color after spraying the potion." Shi Cheng nodded and said, "The blue mist has disappeared, but it hasn't disappeared either, because they have already melted into the land and water of this village, which is why I asked you to spend time and effort to go outside the village to fetch water and come back to boil medicine in the afternoon." ”

Iron Mask sighed softly, "This village ...... Finished. ”

Wu Neng asked a little anxiously, "Lao Tie, what do you mean by this?" Is it really that serious? ”

"What do you say?" Shi Cheng asked rhetorically, "You two may not know each other well, but I know it." This kind of Lingtian herbicide, the durability of the medicinal power is much stronger than that of ordinary medicines, and in the past, in order to reduce the side effects caused by the surrounding environment, the major sects would strictly control the dosage of the medicine. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng looked at a female villager who was lying next to her husband and sobbing in a low voice not far away, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "I won't use it so much like this time." ”

"Old Shi, is there really no remedy?"

Shi Cheng looked at the soup pot on the side, he looked at the listless fire under the soup pot, lowered his head and thought.

Tie Mian and Wu Neng stood quietly aside, not daring to disturb Shi Cheng's train of thought.

The silence lasted for a long time, and Shi Cheng never spoke again.

"Three immortals......" A woman's voice sounded behind Shi Cheng.

Shi Cheng turned around, Wu Neng and Tie Mian also looked over, it turned out to be Jika's wife Qisha coming over.

"Lady Kisa." Shi Cheng nodded.

"When such a tragic incident happened in the village, Qisha came to chant and pray for the villagers." Since Wu Neng showed a "miracle" in front of the villagers that day, the wife of the former village chief has been submissive in front of Shi Cheng and the others.

After Wu Neng translated Shi Cheng and Tie Mian, Shi Cheng said, "There is Mrs. Lao." ”

Kisha nodded, and then began to pray with the assistance of several villagers, holding a crudely made clay icon in her hand, walking among the villagers lying on the ground, shaking her arms and squinting her eyes slightly.

Kisha was accompanied by a maid from the Jika family, who was slightly younger than Kisha and looked stronger than the other women in the village.

While Qisha was chanting and praying for blessings, the maid quietly walked up to Shi Cheng and said respectfully: "Alas, I didn't expect this kind of change to happen in the village today, but fortunately, there are three immortals here. ”

Tie Mian, who was standing behind Shi Cheng, couldn't help but smile a little dumbly in his heart, this maid was too deliberate in her conversation.

"I just did something I did." Shi Cheng said.

The maid hurriedly waved her hand, and said several words in a row, "You are too modest", and after flattering Shi Cheng a few words, she pretended to ask casually: "Immortal, I heard that what happened in the village today was caused by a sea monster?" ”

Shi Cheng's level of Chu Ze's language has improved a lot during this time, and some times Wu Neng's translation is just for Tie Mian. Without waiting for Wu Neng to finish translating, Shi Cheng shook his head and said truthfully: "That's not a sea monster, it's a warship of a big country in the northwest." Speaking of this, he seemed to think that the word warship was too obscure for the villagers, so he changed the phrase, "It is a big ship that can be used for war." ”

"A big ship for war?" The maid's eyes widened, although Shi Cheng had spoken as plainly as possible, she still couldn't understand what kind of existence this kind of big ship was, but it didn't matter, she just needed to repeat the news she had inquired about to her lord after she went back, when the former government was still there, the lord often went to visit relatives in the big city in the north, and he had a lot of knowledge.

After completing the chanting, Chisha stayed in the infirmary for a few more moments before leaving with her own servants.

The medicinal soup was boiled, and under the command of Shi Cheng, the villagers helped Wu Neng and Tie Mian separate the medicinal soup and gave it to the villagers who were poisoned and injured in the infirmary.

After doing all this, the remaining villagers were also very tired, so everyone found a good place, or leaned against the root of the wall, or leaned against their relatives, closed their eyes and rested.

"Old Shi, still can't think of a way?" Wu Neng asked softly.

"It's not that there is no soup pot, it's just that there are no fish in the water." Shi Cheng sighed, "How do you make fish soup where you can't find fish?" Frost is not incurable, but here in the North Rainforest, where can we find the resources we need? ”

Wu Neng was silent, his face full of sadness.

"That's it, Lao Wu, I'll write you a list, you go to Kawa City tomorrow and see if you can find what you need on the list." Shi Cheng said as he took out a pen and paper from his storage bag, "By the way, by the way, let's see if I can get in touch with the foreign chamber of commerce, and wait until I am done with the affairs in the village...... We...... I have to get out of here after all. ”

Shi Cheng's tone was full of helplessness, and his tone gradually became weak.

"This month's update may be a little slack, mainly because there are more things and you need to save up the manuscript in your hand, please bear with me (* ̄〈 ̄)."
