Old diseases

Seeing Ye Chen come back, the people standing outside in Shicun made a way for him. Ye Chen's heart was a little uneasy, he had a hunch that the people gathered here were related to Shi Yunfeng.

"What's going on, what the hell is going on?!'" Ye Chen's voice trembled a little unconsciously when he asked.

The people from Shicun who were standing on the side all lowered their heads, leaning against the stone wall on the side, not knowing how to answer Ye Chen's words.

"Xiao Yechen, you better go in and have a look. ”

Ye Chen quickly rushed in, inside the courtyard. There were still many people standing in the courtyard, Ye Chen fixed his eyes and saw that it was true. As he guessed, in Shi Yunfeng's stone house, there were many old people in the village standing. Something happened to Shi Yunfeng!

Walking into Shi Yunfeng's house, the old man was lying on the animal skin bed, his face was pale, and there was a black line on his forehead that spread to his body.

On the side, a clan elder who knew some medical skills like Shi Yunfeng sat next to him, and he had been discussing something with the old people next to him.

Ye Chen walked over quickly and asked, "Grandpa Yunfeng, what's wrong?"

"He's been poisoned, he's been unconscious since noon. Shi Hongyi said.

"How could it be poisoned?!Grandpa Yunfeng, haven't you stayed in Shicun all the time and never entered the Great Wilderness?! This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible! In other words, there is no poison around here that wants to kill you. Ye Chen's voice began to tremble violently, and the body that could compete with the giant beast seemed to have died all of a sudden, unable to support him. Ye Chen sat down next to the animal skin bed.

"This. The old man wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak.

"Okay, I'll talk to Xiao Yechen. The old man Shi Yi on the side spoke.

"Brother Yunfeng and our generation of dozens of young adults. He has stepped into the depths of the wilderness. Found the treasure, but in the end was ambushed by a fierce spider, we worked together to kill the fierce beast, but Brother Yunfeng fell for the spider's poison. That happened a long time ago, when you weren't in the village and the younger kids didn't know about it. I thought there was nothing wrong, Brother Yun Feng told me that he had suppressed the toxin, but I didn't expect it, alas. It's a recurrence of an old disease. Old Man Shi Yi sighed.

Ye Chen calmed down and asked the old man Shi Hongyi on the side, "Grandpa Hongyi, do you have any way?"

"Yes, there is, one is the red fire grass, which can incinerate the poisonous blood in Yun Feng's body, that kind of grass is too rare and extremely difficult to find. The second is that the herb Jade Snake Orchid can detoxify, but it is guarded by a poisonous python, which can only be found in the depths of the Great Wilderness, but it is extremely difficult to deal with. Shi Hongyi told Ye Chen two ways.

"Even if it's difficult, I'm going to give it a try, it's impossible for me to watch Brother Yunfeng die in front of me!" Old Man Shi Yi spoke, tears flashing in his eyes.

Old Man Shi Yi's words aroused countless voices.

"I'll go too. I can't watch the patriarch die before my eyes. ”

"I'm going too, isn't it just the depths of the Great Wilderness?!Isn't it a poisonous python?!I'm not afraid. ’”

"Count me alone, the patriarch has paid so much for Shicun. We're not going to let him die a miserable death!"

At this time, a weak voice sounded, and the old patriarch Shi Yunfeng was woken up by their shouts. He said angrily: "You know how dangerous it is in the depths of the Great Wilderness, and your strength is not enough for others to swallow in one bite, so what are you going to do? If you dare to go, you will die. ”

"But. ”

"But what, but. You are not allowed to go to any of you! The old man suddenly coughed violently, and then spat out a large mouthful of black blood.

Ye Chen suddenly thought of what the scalper said, peach, to peach. Maybe it can be cured. Ye Chen held on to a little hope, took out the divine peach, and fed it to the old man.

After the old man ate the peaches, his complexion was much more ruddy, but the thin black lines still existed and had not been eliminated. This peach can only temporarily delay the death of the old man, hanging for his life.

Ye Chen wanted to feed the remaining two peach fruits to the old man to eat, but the old man shook his head with a smile: "Child, one is enough, too much will not work." The effect of the drug is the same. ”

Shi Yunfeng waved his hand and said, "You guys go back first, you won't be able to die for a while, let me stay quiet." ”

Some villagers wanted to stay and guard the old man Shi Yunfeng, but they were all sent away by him. Only Ye Chen and Old Man Shi Yunfeng were left in the room.

When everyone was almost gone, Shi Yunfeng said to Ye Chen, "Accompany me to a place?!"

Ye Chen nodded.

The old man Shi Yunfeng took Ye Chen's hand and slowly walked through the path at the edge of the village, coming to a place where Ye Chen had never been, but Ye Chen knew the existence of this place, and when the village sacrificed, the last cup of wine was poured into this place.

This is the place where the most holy spirit in the village, the place where the people of the stone village are buried. People don't usually come here.

The old man Shi Yunfeng took Ye Chen to sit down under a stone tablet, startling countless fireflies that inhabited here, and the fireflies flew everywhere here, and for a time they were brighter than the stars in the sky. I didn't expect the burial place in Ishimura to be so beautiful.

"It's beautiful, isn't it? I come here whenever something doesn't go my way, and as I get older, I come less and less. This is probably the last time. Shi Yunfeng said quietly, and Ye Chen listened quietly on the side. The old man's generation has seen too many life and death, and he doesn't need to be comforted all the time.

"I, Ah, are all in the wilderness. I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to see the outside world in my lifetime. Kid, you know what?"

He pointed to the stone tablet in front of him and said, "That's your grandmother, and the two of us didn't become husband and wife. We are childhood sweethearts, a pair of two little guesses. I thought we would get married, we would live happily together, everyone thought so. She died, died in the wilderness, died in the mouth of a ferocious beast. When she was a child, she told me that when I grew up, I would take her out into the outside world to see it, and one glance would be enough. That's what she wants, she said. When it is fulfilled, she will marry me. ”

Ye Chen looked at the old man's side face, and he smiled. It's warm, that's the taste of happiness. The old man's story continued.

"That year, it rained heavily, and it rained for three days and three nights. To tell the truth, I have never seen such a heavy rain in my life, it is very strange, the rain is majestic, and the sky is lightning and thunder. The last thunderbolt seemed to have blown through something, and it landed not far from the former stone village, and I gathered dozens of clansmen to check it out. I found a black tripod, the one that was now placed in the center of our village, and dozens of stone mills. The thing that the heavenly thunder slashed down was either a demonic existence or it was too extraordinary, causing the heavenly jealousy, and the heavenly thunder was summoned to destroy it. I suspect it's the latter, and dozens of us brought it back to Ishimura and moved it to where we are now. But something happened, just when we were carrying the last black tripod, a fierce spider raided us, we suffered heavy losses, only me and you Shi Yi's grandfather survived, but we saved the tripod, but their lives, I didn't save them, I am not a qualified captain"

The old man's eyes showed remorse and frustration. The narration has not stopped.

"Son, do you know what her name is? Her name is Ling, a nice name, a weak, timid girl. She is very good-looking and has a sweet smile. It's because we've been fighting that beast for too long. She actually went deep into the wilderness in order to find me, she just held a wooden stick, she was so stupid, stupid and pitiful. Right in front of my eyes, right in front of my eyes. She was dead, her body bitten in half, and blood was all over the ground. At the last moment, she didn't cry out in pain. She told me to live!She told me to live!!"

The old man's tears didn't know when they flowed, and the rough hands stroked the stone tablet over and over again, maybe the old man had already died, and he died with the stone spirit. What Ye Chen and the people of Shicun saw now was nothing more than a walking corpse.

Finally, the old man turned his head, took out a map from himself, and said, "Child, I am not afraid of death." I've seen too many lives and deaths, it's enough for me to live to this extent, I can't rest assured that you can't go down, and I can't rest assured that I can't go down to Shicun. This village has placed too many feelings on me, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows. I'll give you this picture, that's where the thunder fell at that time, I feel like there's something down there, and when you become strong in the future, you can explore it, it should help. There are also those things in the center of the stone village, which are not ordinary stone mills and ding furnaces. I don't know what it will be used for now, but it will show later. Those few ancient recipes were found from the black ding! Don't despise these objects, maybe they will be of great use in the future. ”

The old man handed Ye Chen a map made of animal skins, and Ye Chen put it in his arms, which felt like Shi Yunfeng was explaining to him what was going on. This feeling made Ye Chen's heart uncomfortable.

"The wind is blowing, Grandpa Yunfeng. Let's go. Ye Chen helped the old man to get up and leave.
