When they had no choice but to do it, the two simply picked the whole large-leaf magnolia that had withered in winter and brought it back. Together with the whole sun-dried big-leaf magnolia picked in the autumn, they mashed it into a pile and used Ling Zi's usual cooking pot. The dented stone pot was boiled together to make a bowl of black water, which was filled with gourds and ladles.
Then he caught a brown poisonous snake and poured the boiled medicine into it.
It was a cold day, so everyone burned the rotten roots of an old log in the house to keep warm. Several people gathered around Qin Shuang and Zhou Fan to conduct experiments.
After pouring the medicine into the snake, Zhou Fan locked the snake in the bamboo basket that he had woven before and waited to see if it had any effect.
If they want to get out of the valley, they must find a way to drive away snakes. It is winter at this time, and the poisonous miasma in the swamp is at its weakest. If they can successfully find a way to drive away snakes and detoxify, going out in this season is the most risk-free.
Everyone is counting on Qin Shuang and Zhou Fan. Fortunately, the valley is large enough and has abundant food sources. It is like a paradise. Except for the lack of freedom to go out, they can live a self-sufficient life.
Playing chess, fishing and hunting, sewing clothes, weaving utensils, or competing with swords, it seems that there is not much to do, but it still takes a lot of time to be busy, especially preparing food and clothing for the winter, and building a thatched house. To prepare firewood for heating through the winter... These are all labor-intensive, but their life is not extremely boring.
"Is the medicine you boiled like this really useful?" Li Luo curled her lips and looked at the bamboo basket placed on one side. The room was warm, and the brown venomous snake inside that had just drank the medicine hissed and shook its head in the cage.
Li Luo held the sword in his hand and squatted there with Yu, looking at the cage with the lid on. He was afraid that the snake would jump out, but he was also curious and wanted to see the snake. After drinking the medicine Zhou Fan and Qin Shuang boiled, Li Luo What exactly does it do?
Qin Shuang and Zhou Fan have been studying it for so long and no longer have much hope in the method they came up with.
Feng Yi has been too busy these days. There is no wine in the valley, and there is no good food. Even if Ling Zi and Qin Shuang are good at cooking, they can't make good food without wine. They are greedy, especially I thought of the delicacies such as braised goose and steamed white goose in the restaurant, and I felt even more flustered.
Zhou Fan had a problem with him, so he couldn't go forward to urge him. Instead, he wandered around Qin Shuang from time to time, hoping to find a way to detoxify the snake as soon as possible and go out to eat and drink as soon as possible.
The bamboo rafts, wooden paddles, and long sticks that came out of the valley and crossed the swamp had already been prepared for the rain. Everything was ready, and all they needed was the east wind.
This east wind is the antidote to repel snakes and avoid poison.
This day was just like usual.
Either Li Luo pulled Yu to fight sword moves, or Feng Yi whispered in Yu's ear asking him to practice his internal strength, or Ling Xiaoyun wanted them to play chess with him to relieve their fatigue.
Yu's temperament is the most restless. He and Li Luo's sword fighting skills are fine, but if he wants to sit quietly on one side and practice his internal skills with Feng Yi, he will refuse to do so.
Ling Zi has been alone in the valley for a long time and has a quiet temper. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves makes her heart happy.
Noon.
There was nothing unusual about the venomous snake in the cage. I threw a wild mouse in, and the snake bit it and swallowed it alive. It ate until its belly was bulging, and then curled up quietly. …
"How is it? Has this guy been drugged to death?" Feng Yi squatted on Qin Shuang's side.
Qin Shuang pointed to the well-fed snake in the cage and muttered: "Uncle Feng, have you ever seen a snake that was about to be drugged to death so energetic that it could eat a whole mouse?"
Hearing this, Feng Yi looked disappointed and muttered: "It turns out that the effort was in vain again."
Qin Shuang waved her hand helplessly.
Zhou Fan's complexion gradually improved, and he was in good spirits these days. The dark skin color on his skeleton-like face gradually showed signs of turning yellow to normal, and he was in a good mood.
Zhou Fan didn't like dealing with Ling Xiaoyun and Feng Yi, so he took Li Luo and Yu out to catch some deer deer in the valley forest. They wanted to hunt, prepare food for the winter, and stretch their muscles.
Ling Zi put a thick fur coat on him and reminded him to be more careful when walking with crutches without his left foot. He also asked Yu to help take care of him and asked them to leave early and come back early.
Yu and Li Luo smiled and agreed. The three of them packed up their clothes and went out while it was sunny today.
Seeing that Qin Shuang had no hope of detoxifying, Feng Yi and Ling Xiaoyun cleaned up the chessboard with a few dead branches and leaves in the yard and prepared for a game of chess.
Over the past few days, Yu and Feng Yi have been playing chess together. They are very good at chess and have gained a little more understanding of the 'Chess Spiritual Step', but no one knows about it.
Ling Xiaoyun loved to play chess and was willing to ponder it, but in the end he was no match for Feng Yi and Yu's chess prowess.
While Feng Yi and Ling Xiaoyun were playing chess.
Qin Shuang spent these days searching for traditional Chinese medicines such as aconite, oleander, and curare in the mountains, and mixed them together, preparing to use poison to fight poison on the brown venomous snake to see if it would be effective.
Zhou Fan's black snake wood poison has a certain hypnotic effect on these snakes, but if they burn the black snake wood scent all the way out of the valley, they are afraid that they will die first from Zhou Fan's black snake wood poison before being bitten by a snake. The medicine has worn off.
When Qin Shuang was about to grind the aconite, Ling Zi walked to Qin Shuang's side, took Qin Shuang's arm, and asked: "Miss Qin Shuang, tell me honestly, is Zhou Fan not going to live long? His uncle I know the black blood skill. The longer you practice it, the deeper the poison will be. If you continue to practice it, you can live for a few more years. Once it is interrupted, the poison will backfire and you will have less time to live.
These days, he doesn't talk to me about this issue, and I know in my heart that I want to spend his last days with him properly.
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is the next page^0^ I see that his complexion is gradually getting better, and you often study poisons together in the backyard. I want you to tell me that he is caused by the reaction of qi and blood caused by toxic backlash. The energy seems to be sufficient, or something else..."
When Ling Zi said that, there was already an anxious look on his face, because he didn't know how to relieve the black blood poison in Zhou Fan's body, and he was afraid that his lover's time was running out.
Hearing this, Qin Shuang took Ling Zi's hands and said comfortingly: "Aunt Ling Zi, don't worry, I have found a way to detoxify Uncle Zhou's black blood poison. He is not a return to the past, but a real toxin in his body." A sign of improvement. He was afraid that you would worry, so he kept asking me to help hide the serious problem of the poisonous backlash of his black blood power.
Don't worry, I found a way to use snake venom to fight poison with poison to detoxify him. Uncle Zhou will not die, he will slowly get better. "…
Hearing this, Ling Zi was relieved and said with a concerned look: "He is a good person, but he has a stubborn temper and often trembles in pain at night. How could I not know his condition? His black blood I had heard him talk about the good and bad aspects of cultivation many years ago. He was unwilling to talk to me because he was afraid that I would worry, so I didn’t ask any more questions.
After hearing what you said, girl, I felt a lot more relieved. Thank you, Miss Qin Shuang. "
After hearing this, Qin Shuang looked at Ling Zi, smiled slightly, and praised: "Aunt Ling Zi, I really envy that you both love each other deeply and have the same thoughts..." After Qin Shuang finished, he thought of his senior brother Luo Yao, I like him so much, but he only likes the girl he has never been engaged to. He sighed involuntarily.
"Why......."
After hearing this, Ling Zi asked curiously: "Miss Qin Shuang, are you sighing because you can't get out of this valley?"
Qin Shuang smiled slightly and shook his head at Ling Zi.
Ling Zi was also one of those first- and second-class orchid-loving people, so why couldn't she guess Qin Shuang's thoughts, so she comforted her and said, "No one knows about feelings. Miss Qin Shuang, don't be obsessed." It’s too deep, and in the end, you are always the one who is good at it.”
Hearing this, Qin Shuang nodded and replied, "Thank you, Aunt Ling."
"Come on, let's go for a walk. I'm tired from sewing these clothes. Let's go out and relax." Ling Zi looked at the sunny weather outside, and the sun was just right.
Qin Shuang said 'hmm', took Ling Zi's arm, and the two of them walked out of the yard and headed towards Linya Creek.
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
