Chapter 5 Into the Mountain

Just as Xiao Jian was sighing in his heart whether he would have a good fortune in the future, Zuo Liancheng and his son had already begun to apply medicine to their injured arm, and as soon as the white medicine paste was applied to the wound, Xiao Jian suddenly felt a burst of coolness, and the little pain caused by the wound caused by undressing just now quickly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a slight itchy feeling, which felt particularly comfortable.

Xiao Jian unconsciously secretly admired in his heart, when he was in the army, there were also a lot of good medicines for treating bruises in the army's hospitals, especially the old Chinese medicine doctor surnamed Yang, a mouthful of herbs for treating knife wounds is even more miraculous, no matter how many red wounds he suffers, as long as he uses his herbs, he can be perfectly closed in less than ten days and a half months. However, there is also a problem with his medicine, that is, when the medicine is applied, the medicine will have a huge irritating effect on the wound, making people feel severe pain, which lasts for almost half an hour before it slowly subsides, and it is also for this reason that the old Chinese medicine will ask every time he gives the wounded soldier, "Are you afraid of pain?" Some soldiers just can't stand the torture and have to use other drugs for treatment. And the ointment in front of me, applied to the wound, not only does not feel pain, but people will feel very comfortable, which is really incredible.

The medicine was quickly changed, and with the help of Zuo Liancheng's father and son, Xiao Jian quickly got dressed again and lay down on the bed. Feeling the meticulous care of the father and son, Xiao Jian's heart was very moved, but because of the language barrier, he didn't know how to express it, so he could only repeat over and over again the only words of gratitude that he had learned from Amu in the morning, "Thank you!"

In the early morning of the next day, before the sky was bright, Zuo Liancheng and his wife packed up their clothes and went into the mountains to collect medicine. The replenishing pill to be refined this time, although it is a third-order pill, but the refining method is not very complicated, and ordinary third-order pill masters can practice, but the amount to be refined this time is really a bit large, and the materials required are not a small number, just a few of the main materials, such as a thousand-year-old ivy, a five-hundred-year-old soul returning grass, and the blood of the third-order and above the blue blood silver snake are enough for Zuo Liancheng to prepare for more than half a month.

Originally, Amu wanted to go into the mountains with his father, but considering that there was a patient at home who could not move, and it was a man, leaving Amu at home would at least be much easier to take care of. In addition, when entering the mountain this time, the medicinal materials to be found are not the ones that can be found in the vicinity of the usual ones, and you need to go into the depths of the mountain to find them. In this way, the danger he faces will be much greater than usual, Amu is still young now, and his kung fu is much worse than my mother, so it is more reassuring to let him stay at home.

Because of the large number of medicinal materials required, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, the couple decided to go to the depths of the mountain to find it, although it may be very dangerous, maybe they will encounter fourth-order or even fifth-order demon beasts, but as long as they are careful, there should be no major problems.

"I'm afraid we've completely offended Dan Ivan this time, and for the sake of an irrelevant person, we've made the second leader of the tribe disgraced, his father, do you think it's worth it?"

"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, then Dan Ivan has long looked at me unpleasantly, when I was a second-order pill pharmacist before, I didn't pose a big threat to Chi, but he relied on his identity as a second-order pill pharmacist, and it was not easy for him to climb to the position of the second-order leader, and now that I have been promoted to a third-order pill pharmacist, with his character, he will naturally think that I will threaten his position, so everything is against me. Recently, his son has even wanted to fight Asika's idea, you say, can I promise him to marry my daughter to that uneducated scoundrel?"

"Of course I can't say yes! I won't let my daughter fall into that wolf's den and put a nice flower on cow dung. ”

Asika is the tender meat in the hearts of the husband and wife, the pearl in the palm of the hand. Although he is only eighteen years old this year, he has already been slim and beautiful, and he must have a figure and a good appearance. Asika and the old chief's granddaughter Siriawa are known as the two golden flowers of the flower tribe, and if you want to say that the suitors behind Asika are probably about to line up to the mountain pass of the tribe. Asika loves to laugh and is polite to everyone, but she has a very high spirit, and over the years, although the suitors behind her have almost stepped on the threshold of the family, there is no young man who can move her heart. For this matter, Zuo Liancheng and his wife also worried a lot, but they couldn't bear to blame their daughter. Fortunately, the girl's family is still young, and it has not yet reached the point where she has to marry, so she has to go first for the time being.

The couple rode a horse while talking and walking, and unconsciously came to a mountain stream, only to see four ancient tombs in spring, covering the clouds and avoiding the sun, all kinds of birds shuttling and singing in the forest, but did not seem panicked because of the arrival of someone.

"This ivy likes to grow near streams, clinging to ancient trees to climb rocks, and it likes to grow in groups. If we're lucky enough to find a place with a lot of them, we might be able to collect all the ivy we need at once. Zuo Liancheng, who was walking in front, turned around and said to his wife.

"I hope so. It's just that there is often a big snake where this ivy grows, if it is a blue blood silver snake, it will be good, maybe we can kill two birds with one stone, but if it is the silver horn flying snake, it will be difficult to deal with. "The woman has also gone into the mountains with her husband many times to collect medicine before, and she has encountered the silver-horned flying snake several times. The flying snake had silver curved horns on its head, and it was not big, and the largest one that people had seen was only about three feet long. Although it is only a second-level demon beast, the attack power of each flying snake is not very strong, but this kind of snake especially likes to live in groups, as long as it is found, there are dozens of them, and hundreds or thousands of them. Both of them are third-order martial artists, and it is not difficult to deal with dozens of silver-horned flying snakes, but if they encounter a large group of snakes, hundreds or thousands, they can only escape.

"Also, we have to be careful. You find a safe place to tie the horses first, and I'll look around first to see if I can find snake medicine. If there is, let's apply the medicine to the body first, then it will be much safer. Zuo Liancheng said hello to his wife, turned around and entered the bushes. It was not long before he came out of the woods with a handful of all kinds of herbs, and her wife had already returned with her horse on a leash.

After Zuo Liancheng put the herbs in his hand in a special utensil that he carried with him, mashed and mixed them, the two of them poured out some juice from it and smeared it on the skin of their hands and feet, and then put all the remaining juice into a special medicine bottle and put it away. This is the ancestral snake repellent of the tribe, although there is a strong fishy smell, it is more unpleasant, but it can have a good effect of repelling poisonous snakes and mosquitoes. The people of the clan have lived in this wild forest for generations, dealing with poisonous snakes and poisonous insects every day, and after accumulating experience from generation to generation, they have naturally mastered the use of many medicinal herbs and herbs.

"Let's go, be careful along the way. Zuo Liancheng turned around and told his wife to glance, took out the mountain knife on his waist and held it in his hand, and walked towards the mountain with his feet raised. When the woman saw that her man had already walked in front, she hurried after her.

The valley is not open, the distance between the two sides is only three or four zhang wide, and the narrowest point is only two or three meters. A stream about a foot wide flows slowly down from the upstream, and in the clear water, there are fish and gravel swimming, which can be counted. Although it is late autumn, flowers can still be seen all over the ground in the barren grass on both sides, either red or purple, yellow or white, which is very lovely. It is said that women like flowers and plants the most, even if they are mothers, they are still the same. Although Josia is already a mother of two children, she still retains the heart of a girl who likes flowers and plants. As soon as he saw so many gorgeous flowers growing on the grass, he suddenly became excited, and he ran to the front of Zuolian City. I saw her look at this one for a while, touch that one for a while, and pick one or two from time to time, insert them in her long flowing hair, and turn around to ask her man if he looks good. Seeing his woman as happy as a child, Zuo Liancheng was also very happy in his heart. To be a man and live in the world, isn't it just to be happy, to make your women happy, and to make your children happy?

Just as the two of them were walking all the way up the stream, Josia, who was suddenly walking in front, stopped, looked ahead vigilantly, and remained motionless.

Seeing that his wife suddenly stopped, Zuo Liancheng quickly slowed down, walked over, and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?"

"Silverhorn Flying Snake!" the woman stretched out her hand and pointed to a low bush three or four feet away in front of her, and her tone revealed a shock that could not be concealed, "What a big flying snake!"

Zuo Liancheng looked forward in the direction pointed by the woman, and sure enough, in the grass by the bushes in front of him, two black and white flying snakes with four or five inches long on their heads were stretching out their triangular tongues, spitting out letters as red as snow, staring at the two of them viciously, hissing from time to time, as if warning, and as if threatening.

"Hurry back, let's go around in another place. Zuo Liancheng grabbed his woman's arm and hurriedly stepped back.

The two of them cautiously stared at the silver-horned flying snake in front of them, and lightly stepped back three or four feet before stopping. Seeing that the snake in front of them had no intention of attacking them, Zuo Liancheng and his wife put their minds at ease and let out a long breath. The silver-horned flying snake in front of him was five or six feet long, and the silver horns on his head were almost five or six inches long, this was obviously not an ordinary silver-horned flying snake. The usual silver-horned flying snake is no more than three feet long, and the silver horn on its head is only one or two inches. Listen to the old people of the tribe said that the silver-horned flying snake has a very long lifespan, if it does not meet natural enemies, it can live for at least more than a hundred years, the horns on the top of their heads grow very slowly, and the snakes below ten years can basically not see the horns on their heads, even if they have, they are only a little, and the silver-horned flying snakes between ten and twenty years have horns on their heads that are only more than an inch. The silver-horned flying snake in front of him, the feet on his head are almost five inches, not to mention that he has lived for hundreds of years, and he is already approaching the level of the snake king, although the two of them join forces, they may not be able to fight these two flying snakes, but now they have just entered the valley mouth is not far away, and they have not found the medicinal materials they want, so there is no need to spend energy here.

"The two of us are really lucky, we just encountered such a big silver-horned flying snake as soon as we entered the valley. Zuo Liancheng showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth and said self-deprecatingly.

"It's exactly what you say. I've never seen a silver-horned flying snake this long. Josie was obviously not an ordinary weak woman, and instead of being frightened by the snake she had just seen, she made a joke.

"Where there are silver-horned flying snakes, you can often find ivy. As soon as we entered the valley, we saw such a long silver-horned flying snake, maybe we can really find ivy or even ivy if we go inside!" "As a pill pharmacist, Zuo Liancheng naturally knows that ivy is the favorite food of the golden retriever gopher, and the golden retriever gopher is the favorite of the silver-horned flying snake. Where there is a silverhorn flying beetle, you can naturally find a golden retriever gopher, and where there is a golden retriever gopher, you can naturally find ivy, everything in the world depends on each other, and it is a simple truth.
