Chitose smiled: "It should be a wooden puppet laid by the owner of this place, once an outsider sets foot in it, it will come back to life to protect the medicine field." ”

No wonder Granny Mu left with peace of mind, there was no need to let someone be on duty here, it turned out that she had a more reliable helper than a person.

"It was good, but you missed it. ”

The boy was puzzled. Passing through the chest, isn't that a hit on the point?

"But it's better that way. When the puppet dies, the owner will know. Chitose snorted, "You don't want Granny Mu to rush back at this time, do you?"

As he spoke, the last rays of the sunset disappeared below the horizon.

The white cat burrowed into the basket, but a wisp of red smoke drifted past the boy, and behind a thriving clump of eleuthero, it turned into a delicate girl.

The wooden ape did not squint and continued to run after the boy. "This thing has no intelligence, and will chase you until you die. ”

The monster was dragged down by the rake, and the boy did not have much trouble dodging. But the problem is that no matter how slow the ape is, it is impossible for him to crouch on the ground and dig for herbs wholeheartedly.

However, there are still more than 20 flavors of herbs needed to cure diseases!

At this time, the boy heard a faint cry for help.

"Please...... Save us ......"

"Here ......"

He made a look, and finally his gaze fell on the granary not far away.

The windows of the granary were small and high, but at this time there were two faces crowded, and two hands stretched out, waving at him.

Humans in the granary?

Yes, it is said that the bandits in Poison Fang Mountain are ruthless and never leave a living mouth, but in fact, most of the living people have been robbed here by them. The boy hesitated, but walked towards the granary.

The detainees had been silent, but they had never seen the child before, and when they saw him escape from the giant wooden ape, hope burned in their hearts, and their cries for help became louder.

Chitose saw him turn around, and was very dissatisfied: "Hey, I need to remind you again, are we short on time?"

The boy glanced at her, but his footsteps did not stop. Her ears are more sensitive, so she probably heard the cries for help a long time ago, right?

He insisted on going his own way, and Chitose had to follow and said coldly: "For a while, no matter whether it is a mountain bandit or an officer or soldier, you will be a dead end!"

With the wooden ape following behind, the boy couldn't stop, so he could only point to the granary and then to the medicine field.

"What do you mean?"

He pointed to the granary and made a gesture to open the door, then squatted down and gestured to collect medicine.

Before the puppet could catch up, he jumped away. But that's enough, Chitose understands.

Her eyes lit up, and she walked to the door of the granary, and said to the small window, "Listen, the people inside." ”

"In, in, we're here!"

"Okay girl, let us out, that witch kills people without blinking!"

As soon as she approached and spoke, the people in the granary cried and cried. After two days of fear here, I saw my companions being killed one by one, and now that the rescue finally came, everyone was about to weep bitterly.

"Quiet!" Chitose frowned, his voice not loud, but he overpowered the sound in front of him, "Otherwise, I'll turn around and leave." ”

There was silence in the granary, except for the deliberately suppressed sobs of the woman.

"I want to let you out, yes. Chitose's voice reached everyone's ears word by word, "In exchange, I want you to come out and pick all the herbs in that field for me." "Anyway, point not far away.

The herbs in that field were the oldest, the most effective, and the most varied, and there were a large number of rare medicines besides those needed for the boys.

The life-saving grace can be paid off as long as medicine is collected? The civilians who were imprisoned did not say yes, and none of them said no.

At that moment, Chitose casually screwed the iron lock and opened the door with a creak.

The dozen or so people who were locked up inside, both men and women, old and young, all ran out with cheers, and most of them gave thanks to Chitose.

"No, we just take what we need. Officers and soldiers will arrive later to help you out. She pointed to the medicine field very simply, "Dig it." ”

Hearing that the officers and soldiers were coming, the prisoners' faces were both happy and suspicious. Someone asked dryly: "Girl, will the officers and soldiers really come?" The bandits in the Poison Fang Mountain are not a one-day or two-day climate, and there is nothing they can do about them, and the government offices have all returned in the past, can they really be expected to save themselves this time?

"It's less than twenty miles from here. "Ahem, she said straight-line distance, "Wait a minute, you won't be able to get out of the valley anyway." Finally, she urged, "I don't have much time, why don't you dig quickly?"

The strangeness of the valley, as well as the bizarre appearance of the woman in red in front of her, calmed everyone down, you look at me, I look at you, even if they were suspicious, most of them also took the utensils and walked to the medicine field she designated.

There are wisps of red mist wafting in the fields, Chitose and the boy are not afraid, but ordinary people can't afford it. Fortunately, after a round of medicinal herbs, its concentration has become extraordinarily thin. Chitose pinched a trick to summon the wind, and it didn't take much effort to blow them all away.

For a short time, the red mist will not drift back into the field.

At this moment, two people suddenly pulled out their legs and ran out, and in a short time they ran out of the medicine field and towards the edge of the river valley.

finally came out, they will not sit idly by and put their lives on a woman of unknown origin!

Chitose glanced at it lightly, let it go, and let them run farther and farther. Another person grabbed his wife's hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

The wife glanced at Chitose in embarrassment, and her husband urged, "Don't be stupid, what herbs are you really going to dig for this strange woman?"

Wife Ai Ai: "If the officers and soldiers come here......"

"What if she lied!"

The voice was very small, but Chitose turned his head and said quietly, "I don't lie. ”

The couple didn't expect her ears to be so pointed, her face was shocked, and she saw Chitose saying while straightening her sleeve: "There is a poisonous fog floating at the edge of the valley, and you can't get out." Stay here honestly and wait for rescue to survive, otherwise these two people will be a lesson for you. ”

Everyone was shocked, and immediately remembered the legends of Poisonfang Mountain. It was getting dark, and the woodland in the distance was overcast, and no one could see the mist wafting in the forest.

As if to confirm her words, the two people who were originally running wildly towards the woodland behind them slowed down for some time, took a few steps forward and began to sway, and finally fell down and never got up again.

The crowd was so shocked that they couldn't say a word, and their feet seemed to have roots. Chitose sighed, pointing to the field impatiently: "Hurry up!" The gang is so worn out that she and the boy really don't have much time.

If it weren't for the fear that there would be too many people sneaking away, she would have delayed the collection of medicine, and she wouldn't have bothered to explain a word to them.
