Chapter 51: Miscalculation on Both Sides (Add. 2)

Although the mountain bandits fled, the Poison Fang Mountain was so big, and in the end, I don't know how many fish slipped through the net. Besides, did Shen Gu enter the mountain to suppress bandits? That little mute still doesn't know his whereabouts!

Shen Gu only felt that the wound twitched, his eyelids jumped, and his whole body was cold and hot. This was a sign of a toxic attack, and Zuo Shen's antidote pill seemed to have little effect. He was a little short of breath, turned his head to explain a few words, and the short and thin man next to him suddenly raised his breath and shouted: "Listen to the mountain bandit leader, immediately hand over the felons wanted by the royal court, and then offer the tree poison antidote, and spare you today!"

The voices of people in the mountains and forests were sparse, and they flashed away: "We are all wanted criminals, which one are you talking about?"

"My family is sent by Wang Tingqin to pacify Shen Gu, and an eight-year-old mute boy was arrested by holy order. Even if you can't attack Poison Fang Mountain today, there will be a large army entering the mountain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Wait for someone to hand over the medicine quickly, don't be lucky!"

He mentioned his true qi, and his voice came out far away in the night, and the mountain bandits were all shocked.

No wonder today's officers and soldiers are particularly fierce and difficult to fight, and the strangers mixed in can tell at a glance that they are not locals, but they are originally sent by the royal court? The leader of the mountain bandits was protected by his subordinates and retreated, and said hoarsely: "You are in the wrong place, we don't have an eight-year-old child here at all." "Poison Fang Mountain is a den of bandits, but it is not a charity hall, why do officers and soldiers come into the mountains to find children?

He looked straight ahead, but did not notice a gleam in the cloudy eyes of the old woman beside him.

Little ghost? Are these officials and soldiers going into the mountains to search for a little ghost, she has heard this sentence before, well, from Wu Laoba, who has died!

So, the little ghost who killed the mountain bandit sentry is not in the same group as the official army in front of him at all?

"Yes or no, I have the final say. Shen Gu was very strong, "Stand still, surrender and don't kill!" From the beginning, he knew that the little mute was using a knife to kill people, but this group of bandits in the mountains was arrogant, if they were not beaten and subdued, how could they be obedient?

The bandits ran faster. At this moment, the night sky in the east suddenly exploded with silver flowers.

The dark sky suddenly brightened as day, and no one could ignore it.

Pyrotechnics?

Disturbed by this vision, both sides subconsciously slowed down and looked up.

And the wandering mountain bandits know that the direction is the back mountain, could it be that someone is standing in the garden of Granny Mu to release signals?

The official army invaded, who would stay in the back mountain, still holding the fireworks for the police signal in their hands?

"Granny Mu......" The leader of the mountain bandits was about to interrogate the old woman, but when he turned his head, his surroundings were empty. "What about people?!"

The short and thin man who followed Shen Gu had an amazing ear power, and he could hear the sound of insects within a thousand zhang, so he came to the ear of the appeasement envoy and reported word by word: "Someone in the mountain bandits called that old woman Granny Mu, but she is gone now." ”

Shen Gu's surprise was extraordinary.

Granny Wood!

In the confessions of the medicine stores in Pinggu County, there are the words "Mother-in-law Mu".

The little mute went to the medicine shop, and also wandered around the Yellow House, and finally entered the Poison Fang Mountain, where there is a wooden mother-in-law.

The people in the medicine store said that Old Man Huang's good medicine came from Granny Mu.

These things seem to be unrelated, and they never make sense for him. But when the leader of the mountain bandits said the words "Granny Mu", suddenly there was something that strung them all together:

Medicine.

The boy first went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, but the medicine store guy also said that the century-old ginseng they wanted was not available in the store. Medicine shop, Old Man Huang, and Granny Mu, if there is any connection between these three, it is that they all have medicinal materials in their hands.

Could it be that the kid went to squat outside the Huang Mansion just to steal some medicinal herbs? And Old Man Huang's medicinal materials came from Granny Mu, who lived in the mountains, so ......

Shen Gu suddenly raised his head and asked at a mountain bandit captive, "Where did the fireworks signal come from?"

"The medicine field in the back mountain. The captive added, "It's Granny Mu's territory, and we are not allowed to enter it." ”

Shen Gu's mind was dizzy, and his eyes were black for a while, but he still ordered the officers and troops to continue to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits, and he turned to the back mountain with a group of his subordinates.

After asking a few mountain bandits, there was no antidote to rattan poison, so he could only hope for Granny Mu. Besides, that little ghost is probably also in the medicine field at the moment, right?

¥¥¥¥¥

The civilians captured by the mountain bandits were left in the granary, and they were all a little listless. A man kept looking out of the small window of the granary, and suddenly exclaimed, "The witch is back!"

Even if someone was napping, they woke up with a panicked face.

At this moment, there was a sound of unlocking outside, and then the wooden door slammed open!

Granny Mu stood at the door, and the original kindness on her face turned into a distortion: "Who stole my herbs!"

Everyone was stunned.

She clutched a red thread tightly in her other hand, and the pendant hanging from it glowed a faint red light as she swayed as she moved.

When she arrived, the door of the granary was locked, and the pendant was wrapped around the lock, so she could not afford not to pay attention.

She knew what it was—the heart core of the wood ape. Granny Mu can order wood essence, but in order for the puppet to keep in touch with her heart, she has to have this wood core.

But now, the heart core has not only been gouged out, but also carved into this strange shape!

That well-maintained herb, the oldest and best quality herbs, was plucked out! Even if she was mentally prepared on the way here, Granny Mu was so angry that her eyes erupted. She lifted her cane and slammed it on the ground: "Whoever sees it, say, or you will all die!"

Then someone trembled and said, "A woman came with a child and dug up the herbs, and said, and said, ......"

Granny Mu's face turned pale: "What did you say?"

"I've got you in return. "They're not so stupid, they don't even mention that they came out as accomplices.

This is Chi Guoguo's provocation! Granny Mu almost pinched the pendant: "What do those two look like?"

"The woman was very beautiful in red, and the boy was about seven or eight years old, and very thin. ”

Granny Mu's eyes rolled twice: "Did the boy speak?"

Everyone thought about it for a while before they muttered, "Okay, it doesn't seem to be, the words were all said by the lady in red." ”

The little wanted man who led the officers and soldiers into the mountains came to steal her herbs?

No, that's not right! That damn imp used the officers and soldiers to lure her away, so that she could start stealing.

"Where did they flee?"

With a cautious gesture, Granny Mu walked out of the granary and strode into the medicine field. The best exotic flowers and plants have been dug up, but the rest of the best ones are also her hard work, and they cannot be wasted.

She doesn't have as much trouble collecting herbs as humans do, and she has to dig them with a medicine hoe, just reach out and sweep over the plants, and they're gone.
