Miao Village is a little dilapidated, Ganlan's house is located in the center, divided into two floors, compared with other low houses, there are some standing out from the crowd, there are not many pedestrians on the street, but most of them are a little depressed on their faces, Li Wuchen saw all this, his brows were deeply locked, he didn't speak, he just touched and followed Ganlan forward.

"Ganlan, why did you bring a Dayan man here?"

The person who spoke, Li Wuchen recognized him, and he was the one who scolded the county officials in Pingding County yesterday.

At this moment, he was followed by more than a dozen young people, carrying knives in their hands, and it was obvious that they were going to the county seat to block the door.

"Brother, this is my friend, Li... Lee..."

"Under Wuwei Mountain-Li Wuchen!"

Seeing that Gan Lan still didn't think of herself, Li Wuchen simply signed up for herself.

Gan Lan looked at him a little embarrassed, she didn't even remember the other party's name.

Gan Tong didn't care, glanced at Li Wuchen, and saw that the other party was not a local, and he was wearing a Taoist robe, thinking that he was a little Taoist priest who came out to wander, laughed, patted Li Wuchen's shoulder with a big hand, and said with a smile, "My sister's friend is my friend of Gan Tong, you wait for me to come back and drink three bowls with you." ”

Anyway, he didn't care what Li Wuchen had to say, so he took the dozen or so people away, vaguely, the hostility around Li Wuchen became more and more serious, and the deepest place was the dozen or so young people who frequently turned back.

"They...... I don't seem to be welcome. ”

Li Wuchen knew in his heart that the other party was obviously afraid that he would snatch away their village flowers.

Gan Lan smiled, patted Li Wuchen's back with his right hand, took him a step forward, and said with a smile, "My elder brother has serious things to do, so he has to go, don't worry about it." ”

The two walked side by side, and soon arrived at Ganlan's house, the only two-story building, seeing Li Wuchen's curious gaze, Ganlan explained, "My family used to be the toast of the Dayan Imperial Court, so it was covered with a layer, but now the money and grain allocated by the imperial court to the village have been swallowed by those dog officials, so my brother will go to make trouble." ”

Li Wuchen had already heard these things from the old man in the noodle shop, so he was not too surprised, the contradictions between the Dayan people and the Miao people did not accumulate overnight, although this Tusi system eased the relationship between the two sides, but those gentry who did not put the Miao people in their eyes would inevitably not be eyeing this low-hanging fruit, for them, whether the natives in the mountains were making trouble or not, it had nothing to do with them, the important thing was that they could put the money into their pockets.

Gan Lan pushed the door open, and a unique aroma of wine came to the surface, Li Wuchen's five senses were several times higher than ordinary people, and after careful smelling, he actually smelled a small amount of snake letter grass mixed with the wine.

Snake letter grass is highly poisonous, and poisonous snakes are often infested where it grows, so it is named snake letter grass.

"Your ...... wine"

Li Wuchen took a deep breath again, and said with some hesitation, "Snake letter grass is added to it?"

Gan Lan was stunned for a moment, squinted her eyes and asked, "How do you know, this is the ancestral recipe of our Miao Village, drinking it can strengthen the body, you see how strong my brother is." ”

Li Wuchen was stunned for a moment, frowning, he always felt that there was something wrong, the formula in this wine, as long as he smelled it lightly, he could see it clearly, it did have the effect of strengthening the body, but he always felt that something was wrong, he just couldn't say it.

"It's still early, today is our Miao Festival, it will be very lively in the evening, let's leave some wine to drink at night." ”

After Gan Lan said that, she beckoned Li Wuchen into the house, made a cup of tea, and went to the kitchen to prepare today's lunch.

Li Wuchen drank tea lightly, looked around, on the wall in the center of the room, there was an old man wearing Dayan court clothes, looking at the inscription on it, it was estimated that it was the first toast, there were several ropes on the top of the wall, and countless smoked and browned bacon were hooked and hooked on the ropes.

Gan Lan was very capable, and it didn't take long for him to serve two plates of meat and a plate of side dishes, while holding a small wine jar in his hand.

She seems to love to laugh and is very contagious, and she is in a much better mood to be able to bring people around her.

"Try my craft......"

After she said this, her face suddenly turned embarrassed, and she said embarrassedly, "My brother often says that it is not delicious, and that I will definitely not be able to get married." ”

Li Wuchen smiled and said, "Your brother is coaxing you, I think I like you a lot." ”

After that, he gently picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth, the entrance has a hint of chewiness, and it is accompanied by a hint of sweetness, a very chic taste.

"It tastes good!"

Li Wuchen said with a smile, he was telling the truth, but Ganlan's craftsmanship was good.

Hearing Li Wuchen's praise, Gan Lan became a little embarrassed, and then smiled a little embarrassedly, "We are not suitable for growing rice here, so maybe the rice will be a little insufficient." ”

"I don't eat much. ”

Li Wuchen took the wine glass handed over by Gan Lan, leaned to his nose and smelled it, it was the wine with snake letter grass added to it, and after taking a sip lightly, he began to savor it carefully, and the more he tasted it, the more his brows wrinkled.

"Is the wine unappetizing?"

Gan Lan looked at Li Wuchen's increasingly wrong expression and couldn't help asking.

Li Wuchen shook his head and asked instead, "The wine is very good, but does every household have this wine?"

Gan Lan didn't hear the meaning of Li Wuchen's words, and said with a smile, "This is unique to our Pingshan Miao Village, so every household will brew it, and they will drink it every day, what's wrong?"

"It's fine. Li Wuchen shook his head.

After three rounds of drinking, seeing that the timing was right, Li Wuchen opened his mouth and asked, "I seem to have seen you have a conflict with the county seat yesterday. ”

Gan Lan was a little drunk, her pretty face was a little red, and she smiled and said, "Yes, that dog official has swallowed our grain privately, of course we have to trouble him." ”

After hearing this, Li Wuchen pointed to the bacon hanging on the top of the wall, and continued to ask, "I think you seem to be very good at making meat, and there are many animals in the mountains, so you don't have to rely on those money and food to get by, how can you go to such great trouble to do these things." ”

Gan Lan sighed, her face flashing with a look of remembrance, "That's the ...... once was"

After saying this, she hiccuped and continued, "Actually, this happened a long time ago, but we don't have any rare things at all, so we haven't paid attention to them. ”

Li Wuchen faintly guessed the reason in his heart, sighed, but still asked, "Why is that?"

"Ever since the night of pouring rain and lightning and thunder, our people have begun to deteriorate so much that some of us can't even lift bows and arrows. ”

Ganlan, who had drunk too much, seemed to talk a little too much, supported his chin with his right hand, looked at Li Wuchen with big eyes flashing, and continued, "Later, I also invited a lot of doctors, but there was no way, in fact, it was not that we wanted those money and food, but that we had no choice. ”

Gan Lan smiled again, but this time the smile was unusually bitter, and even there was a mist in her beautiful eyes.

Li Wuchen didn't speak, but his mind was running rapidly, 'Heavy rain, lightning and thunder. His mind was more certain of his own conjecture.

The matter was already clear, Li Wuchen pushed the wine glass forward, Gan Lan thought he was still going to drink, and hurriedly planned to pour it for him again, but what did he think, he pushed the wine jar away, and said with a straight face, "I know the crux of your Miao Village." ”

Gan Lan was stunned, stood up with a bang, propped up the table with both hands, looked at Li Wuchen with wide eyes, and asked a little unconfidently, "Are you sure?"

Li Wuchen nodded, "But I can't tell you the reason for the time being, you need to prepare a large vat for me, it must be large, and then I need a quiet and ventilated room." ”

With that, he stood up and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?"

Gan Lan looked at the other party in surprise, not that she felt that the other party was going to run away, she still believed in the other party's character very much.

"Go pick the medicine. ”

After Li Wuchen finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out of Miao Village.

Gan Lan was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly went out, she was going to inform his brother and ask him to come back quickly.

............

Li Wuchen left Miao Village and groped in the forest.

The snake letter grass is very poisonous, and it grows in patches, and within ten meters of the snake letter grass, it must not grow an inch of grass, so it is not difficult to find.

According to Old Man Qiu's teaching, it took Li Wuchen less than an hour to find the snake letter grass.

The green leaves are patchy, the purple flowers are everywhere, and the moist ground is full of dense emerald green roots, which is the snake letter grass.

Li Wuchen only made a rough estimate that there were no less than 10,000 snake letter grasses here, and he wanted to find the psychic spirit grass that caused this change among the 10,000 poisonous weeds.

The spirit grass has a spirit, and after the thunderstorm, it knows how to keep its light and nourish it, so it is not conspicuous, and it is extremely safe to take root in these ten thousand poisonous weeds of the same kind.

If ordinary people want to find it, they not only have to find all these thousands of identical poisonous weeds, but also need to risk being bitten by those poisonous pythons hidden in the poisonous weeds and being poisoned to death.

But Li Wuchen didn't need to work so hard, I saw him slowly take out a short dagger from the dragon-patterned boots, spread out his five fingers, and cut it gently, and a red blood flowed out of his palm.
