Chapter 16: The Antidote
Li Wuchen's blood fell to the ground, accompanied by a fragrance......
Old man Qiu once said that the blood in his body has a fatal attraction to all poisons in the world. With the spread of this fragrance, the poisons in the entire mountain forest showed a scarlet gaze and went in the direction of the fragrance.
And in this piece of snake letter grass, countless hidden poisonous snakes began to gush out, but it seemed that they were all afraid of Li Wuchen, and they didn't dare to approach him at all, so they could only keep turning around his body.
Li Wuchen was not in a hurry, and stood quietly in place, his eyes staring at the reaction in the snake letter grass.
The breeze was blowing, the leaves rattled, and even the snakegrass began to sway.
Li Wuchen's eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, the bait was hooked, and the long line was also scattered, but the fish were a little anxious, and they couldn't wait to bite the hook so soon.
In the rustling green grass, there was a purple stamen, which was cautiously groping towards Li Wuchen, stopping step by step, if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't find it at all.
Li Wuchen was not in a hurry at all, and squeezed out another drop of blood, as the blood droplet fell, the fragrance of this empty place became heavier, and the group of poisons with scarlet eyes became even more crazy, and some of them had even begun to gnaw on their companions.
The psychic snake letter grass, the whole body turned vermilion, and it no longer hid, and flew away in the direction where Li Wuchen's blood droplets fell.
"Smack..."
Li Wuchen's right hand was like electricity, and he grabbed the vermilion snake letter grass.
"Yike...... You bad guy...... Let it go!"
The snake grass writhed wildly, and it actually made a sound similar to that of a little doll.
The old Taoist priest once said that there are three thousand avenues, and everything has a spirit, even if the plants, trees, flowers and stones can become essences, and even turn into people, and even become immortals.
"You've done bad things and called me a bad person?"
Li Wuchen chuckled, took out a yellow talisman from his belt, firmly attached it to the center of the stamen of this snake letter grass, and said with a smile, "You will follow me these days, and when you have this cause and effect, I will let you go." ”
As his words fell, the snake grass turned into a ball of light and exploded violently.
After half a breath, the light dissipated, and there was still some snake letter grass in his hand.
"If they hadn't been pulling my hair, I wouldn't have done it. ”
I don't know when, a fat doll with a green belly pocket appeared on the ground, jumped on the ground a few times, and found that there was no way to escape, so he simply sat on the ground, turned his head, puffed out his mouth, and said angrily.
Li Wuchen was amused by him, grabbed his ear, and said, "You have strengthened the toxicity of the snake letter grass without authorization, are you still reasonable?"
But having said that, this little doll hasn't done anything perfectly, only a little stronger, at most it is just a little weaker, and of course, if you continue to drink that wine for a long time, you will still collapse and die.
The little doll played with Li Wuchen's hand twice, but he didn't let it go, stared at him with small eyes, and scolded, "You bad person, if you don't let go of me, I want you to look good." ”
After saying that, his hands turned into two poisonous snakes and bit Li Wuchen, but as soon as he bit through his skin, his little face turned pale, and he fell to the ground, pointing at Li Wuchen, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Li Wuchen grabbed him by the neck, like dragging a kitten, lifted him up, and said, "Quickly hand over your companion grass, or you know." ”
Li Wuchen opened his five fingers, pointed the big hand that was about to scab at the little doll's little face, and made a gesture to shoot it.
"Don't, don't, don't, I'll give it to you. ”
The little doll looked frightened, gritted her teeth, took off her green belly pocket, and handed it to Li Wuchen.
When the green belly pocket reached Li Wuchen's hand, it instantly turned into a green grass full of spikes, and it was also a little like a green caterpillar full of feet.
"Come with me. ”
Li Wuchen got what he wanted, put the defenseless little doll on the ground, took off his coat, and threw it to him.
The little doll covered his bird with one hand, took Li Wuchen's coat with the other, draped it on himself, and followed Li Wuchen, he knew that if he didn't follow him, he was afraid that he would never be able to return to his prototype.
............
The sky was dark, and the gate of Miao Village was full of people, led by Gan Tong, who held torches high, as if waiting for something.
"Sister, he won't run away, will he?"
Gan Tong was already a little disgusted with Dayan people, and after this kind of incident, this feeling was even worse, so much so that he didn't believe that Li Wuchen would come back at all, and the reason why he was waiting here was just for an illusory expectation.
"Brother, I believe in him. ”
Gan Lan's tone was very firm, although the two only had two sides, they were surprisingly trusting each other.
Hearing Gan Lan's tone, Gan Tong stopped saying anything.
But he believed in Ganlan, but the rest of the people did not necessarily believe it.
Half an hour later, as one person left, someone began to follow in the footsteps of the first person and began to leave.
No one said anything, they couldn't trust the people of Dayan, and they were just a little more disappointed at the moment.
It's another hour, and there aren't many people still willing to wait at the gate of the village.
Gan Tong sighed and patted Gan Lan's shoulder, his eyes were full of loss, and just as he was about to leave, Gan Lan pointed to the mountain road not far away, and patted Gan Tong with excitement on his face, "Brother, Brother, look, he's back." ”
Gan Tong heard his sister's words, and looked into the distance, a thin body carrying this big bag on his back, and slowly came towards the cottage, but it was not Li Wuchen and who it was.
"I also collected some medicinal herbs on the way, sorry for the delay. ”
Li Wuchen hugged his fist towards the Gan Tong brothers and sisters, looking tired, his face was full of sweat, he said lightly, the poison in the people in the village has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, although it is not very difficult to cure it, but the medicinal materials needed are relatively difficult to collect, some grow in the mud swamp, and some grow on the cliffs.
"Thank you. ”
Gan Tong patted Li Wuchen on the shoulder, today is the mountain festival, but because of Gan Lan's news, it was postponed, and everyone unanimously decided to wait until Li Wuchen's method was tried.
"What a cute little doll. ”
Ganlan's attention was attracted by the little doll on the side, and she picked it up, surprisingly, in the face of Li Wuchen's fierce little doll, she didn't mean to be angry at all, but squinted her eyes with a look of enjoyment in her arms.
"Are you ready?"
Li Wuchen didn't intend to delay his efforts, so he didn't pay attention to the little doll.
"Ready, but won't you rest first?"
Almost every house in Miao Village makes wine, so finding a big jar is simple, and a clean and ventilated place is even simpler.
"No, time is precious, you take me first. ”
After listening to what Li Wuchen said, Gan Lan and Gan Tong took him to their cellar, where the aroma of wine was permeated, and there were no less than ten large jars under the careful count.
"You guys go back and rest first, I need two days, and you can't come and disturb me for these two days. ”
After Li Wuchen finished speaking, he closed the door, and of course, the little doll was left by him.
............
For two days, the whole Miao Village was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and whenever someone was curious to get a glimpse of what was going on inside from the corner of the window, Gan Tong would drive those people away, and he always remembered that Li Wuchen had said that no one could disturb him.
Gan Lan was guarding the door of the wine cellar, a little nervous and worried, the food was delivered through a small door, but when she went to pick it up every day, she took it back as it was.
Li Wuchen inside hadn't closed his eyes for two days, and the medicinal liquid in the vat had become more and more viscous from the beginning of the clear, and his hands had also shown some signs of redness and swelling because of the continuous stirring for two consecutive days.
"It's your turn, get your essence out!"
Li Wuchen's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his dark circles were a little scary.
The little doll was a little reluctant, but when she thought that she was in Li Wuchen's hands, she gritted her teeth, climbed onto the edge of the wall of the big vat, took out the little bird, and tilted down against the liquid medicine in the vat.
"Enough!"
Li Wuchen shouted, and then threw the little doll's companion grass into it.
The turquoise companion grass melted into the water, giving the jar of liquid a touch of white color.
After boiling for another half an hour, Li Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally pushed open the door, and what came into his eyes was Ganlan with an anxious face.
Gan Lan was taken aback by Li Wuchen's appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the crumbling Li Wuchen.
Li Wuchen grinned at the other party with a tired smile, and then said a little weakly, "The medicinal herbs inside...... The ...... you gave to the village Clansman...... One bowl per person...... Three-day ...... Three ......"
Before he finished speaking, he fainted in Ganlan's arms, he was so tired, if you add the day you went to find the snake letter grass, it has been three days and two nights without closing your eyes, and you have not eaten.
Li Wuchen's medicine tank was carried to the door of his house by Gan Tong's arrangement, and each household was given a bowl.
