At this time, the carriage had already driven out of the small town of Anxi and was only moving slowly on a small slope.
There were no people along the road, only tall thatch growing wildly on the slopes.
After confirming this information, Xu Zhilan immediately opened the lid of the swill bucket. At the same time, Chen Ke climbed out of the swill bucket.
Chen Ke's hands and feet were obviously more flexible than Xu Zhilan, so when he came out of the swill bucket, the driver didn't even feel any movement behind him.
Then Chen Ke, who came out one step ahead of Xu Zhilan, climbed out of the swill bucket with Xu Zhilan in his arms.
After the two came out of the swill bucket, Chen Ke immediately took Xu Zhilan's left hand, and then the two of them quietly left behind the carriage. However, when they jumped down, due to strength issues, , the coachman still discovered their presence, but because they had jumped out of the car and were in a mess.
The driver thought it was a hungry beggar eating swill. After all, in addition to swill, this swill bucket also contains many leftovers from eating in large restaurants. These foods will be resold to some surrounding taverns. ..
The nearby taverns will process these foods and sell them.
Because of this, many local people are suffering from hepatitis A.
But no one knows where the disease originated from, and the food in these big restaurants is obviously much more delicious than the simple meals eaten in villages and towns.
Therefore, cheap and delicious "restaurant food" is a delicacy that many people yearn for.
And this is also a way to make money.
Therefore, when the driver discovered that someone was hiding in his swill cart, he immediately put down his whip and went after the two men.
However, when he ran over, the two people had already got into the thatch.
Seeing that their hands were empty, the driver hurriedly looked at the packed leftovers.
Fortunately, the bag containing the leftovers was not opened.
Seeing that the two men neither stole anything nor ate anything, the coachman just cursed with a country curse, and then continued driving the carriage away.
Chen Ke waited until the driver left, then took Xu Zhilan's hand and said, "Let's go."
However, Xu Zhilan, who had been hiding in the grass, suddenly let out a cry of pain and scream. Upon hearing the scream, Chen Ke quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Zhilan was so frightened that her eyes were filled with tears. She whispered, "It hurts! I seemed to have been bitten by a snake just now."
Hearing Xu Zhilan's words, Chen Ke saw a seven-step snake quickly jump into the thatch as if it was frightened.
Chen Ke whispered, "This seems to be a seven-step snake."
Xu Zhilan immediately asked in shock, "What's the seven-step snake? I've only heard of a seven-step poem."
Chen Ke then patiently explained, "It is said that you can fall in seven steps."
Hearing this, Xu Zhilan became even more frightened. She grabbed Chen Ke and said, "What should I do? I don't want to die."
Chen Ke didn't say anything, but just carried Xu Zhilan out of the thatch pile. Then when he reached the road, he asked, "Where were you bitten?"
Xu Zhilan pointed to her calf.
Without saying a word, Chen Ke lifted up Xu Zhilan's trouser leg. When a small section of fair skin was exposed, he could see a bleeding hole on Xu Zhilan's skin.
Although Xu Zhilan had been closer to Chen Ke, but now in broad daylight, especially when her life was hanging by a thread, Chen Ke lifted her legs apart. Xu Zhilan couldn't help but hit Chen Ke on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing?"
Chen Ke didn't answer her, he just leaned over and started sucking out the venom with his mouth.
Then he quickly vomited black blood.
Xu Zhilan only felt a pain in her leg, but after Chen Ke's behavior, she realized that Chen Ke was helping her suck out the snake venom from her leg, so she stopped struggling.
Perhaps because of Chen Ke's timely treatment, Xu Zhilan only felt a little pain in her calf, but the other feelings were not obvious.
However, Chen Keke was not so lucky. Because he sucked out the snake venom directly with his mouth, his lips were now black and purple. But even so, he still stood up and said, "I'll go find some snake venom treatment." Herbs, you are there
Don't move around here. "
After saying this, Chen Ke turned around and staggered forward with great effort, dragging his already clumsy body.
Although Xu Zhilan was worried about herself, seeing that Chen Ke obviously looked wrong, she felt even more uncomfortable.
So when she saw that Chen Ke was already crooked, she immediately supported Chen Ke and said, "Where is the medicinal herb? Point it out to me and I will go find it."
When Chen Ke heard this, he just said hello.
Then Chen Ke walked forward with the help of Xu Zhilan.
I don’t know how long they walked, but Chen Ke just followed Xu Zhilan while identifying the weeds under his feet.
He remembered that weeds could be seen everywhere in their area. Many people who went up to the mountains to cut firewood were bitten by snakes, and they used the herb for external application. It was just grass that could be seen everywhere on weekdays, but now they really have to look for it seriously. time, but it is difficult to find.
Chen Ke felt that he might not last long enough to find the weed, so he just said to Xu Zhilan, who was helping him move forward, "Wait a minute."
Xu Zhilan looked at Chen Ke in surprise and said, "Have you found the medicine yet?"
However, Chen Ke shook his head, "No, I just feel a little unable to hold on. Can you go find the medicine?"
Xu Zhilan was a little at a loss and said, "But I don't know that herb."
Xu Zhilan then whispered, "Tell me what the grass looks like, and I'll go find it."
Chen Ke nodded and whispered, "The grass is a vine with triangular leaves. There is a layer of fine thorns on its stem. The fruit is like a small grape, and it is purple when ripe."
Hearing Chen Ke's words, Xu Zhilan just remembered the characteristics and asked, "How to use it."
Chen Ke looked at Xu Zhilan and said, "Just apply it to the wound and it will be fine."
With Chen Ke's words, Xu Zhilan immediately put Chen Ke down, and then went elsewhere to look for the medicinal herb Chen Ke mentioned. After that, she didn't know how long she had been searching, but she actually found the medicinal herb in a layer of thatch. Only a large area of the triangular-leaf weed grew among them, and she was naturally filled with joy.
She immediately went to pull the herbs, but within a moment, she pulled a lot of sticks, and then she crushed the herbs into pieces with her own hands. But after she crushed the herbs, she realized There were no wounds on Chen Ke's body, so most of the external herbs could only be applied to his legs.
But Chen Ke fainted because he thought he had inhaled snake venom. What should he do?
When Xu Zhilan was in trouble, she thought about it, and then simply fed the herb directly into Chen Ke's mouth. Then she began to chew part of the herb herself, and then she only applied it on her legs. , and finally she only used a cloth strip to cover the wound.
It was getting late at this time, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night was too large, so Xu Zhilan naturally did not dare to stay here anymore. She just wanted to find a place to rest elsewhere, but Chen Ke never woke up. Instead, her body started to have a fever, and Xu Zhilan panicked for a moment. She quickly supported Chen Ke and prepared to leave.
But before she walked a few steps, she heard the sound of hooves behind her. When Xu Zhilan heard the sound, she immediately felt a sense of hope.
She looked towards the other party, and soon realized that what was coming was a small donkey cart. There was a thin, dark-skinned old man sitting on the donkey cart, so she immediately waved to the other person. After being waved by Xu Zhilan, the man stopped the donkey cart and whispered, "My eldest daughter, I want a ride. I don't know where I'm going?"
Xu Zhilan was also stunned when the other party asked.
She had no idea where to go. Then she thought for a moment and suddenly thought that Chen Ke seemed to have told her that he grew up in a village called Lu. Maybe it would be a good place to go, so Xu Zhilan immediately said One sentence: "We are going to Lubo Village."
"What village is it?" The old man was a little confused.
Xu Zhilan explained with some embarrassment, "I don't remember the name of the village. I only remember that there is a word for deer in front of it, and there is a word in the middle that I can't remember clearly."
After listening to Xu Zhilan's words, the old man only added, "Lulin Village?"
Hearing what the other party said, Xu Zhilan immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's Lulin Village."
The old man follows
Then he said, "My daughter doesn't look like someone from Lulin Village, and her accent doesn't sound like her either."
Xu Zhilan immediately explained after hearing this, "I am not from Lulin Village, but my...husband is from Lulin Village."
After hearing this, the old man understood.
However, he was still a little curious in his heart. He didn't know whose daughter-in-law this girl was. After all, although this woman was in a mess and had a strange smell on her body, even so, she could not hide her fair skin and stunning appearance.
Therefore, the old man just asked: "Actually, I am also from Lulin Village, but I don't know whose daughter-in-law my daughter is?"
Xu Zhilan was lying, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually from Lulin Village. Her face just turned red at that moment.
But then she only thought that she was a liar, but Chen Ke had left home since he was a child, and his family probably didn't know his details over the years, so she just said immediately, "My husband is Chen Ke."
Hearing this, the old man was even more shocked. At the same time, he also saw a young man in blue shirt lying on the ground. Judging from his figure, that person was not his nephew.
He didn't say much, and just took three steps at a time to reach his eldest nephew.
As soon as he saw the young man, he immediately called out "Ke?"
Naturally, the young man did not answer his words. When the old man touched his forehead, he saw that his forehead was hot.
He couldn't help but look at Xu Zhilan and said, "What's wrong with you? How did you end up like this?"
Xu Zhilan was a little wary and did not speak, so the old man said again, "Daughter, don't be afraid. I forgot to tell you that I am Chen Ke's uncle."
As soon as she heard the other party's self-introduction, Xu Zhilan's face immediately turned red.
