The stream comes out of the mountain pass and converges into a small pool. On the side of the pool stands a sudden boulder, which is covered with moss and must be some years old.
On the boulder are engraved the words "Human Villa". On the side of the stone is a towering ancient pine growing along the pond. After bypassing the pine, there is a stone dam, which is also inaccessible and overgrown with weeds.
There are several stone piers on the side of the dam close to the dense forest on the right. Several bolt holes are drilled on the stone piers, which are horse-tying stones.
A group of people drove the carriage here. Feng Yi stopped the carriage. He and Kong Ge loosened the reins of the horses and tied the horses to the tying stone so that they could teach the horses to rest. Among the green water and green mountains, Eat a full meal of tender grass on the roadside.
"These grass and vines have grown into trees, all along the road. Could it be the vine that you mentioned, Brother Kong?" Feng Yi asked Kong Ge as he stretched out his hand to pluck up the vines on the side of the grass where the horses were eating.
Kong Ge replied: "Brother Feng, it's Hu Manteng. Don't let the horse eat it. If it eats a leaf, the horse will probably not survive." As Kong Ge said, he followed Feng Yi around. Under the woods, I pulled away the vines that were jumping around, so that there would be no vines around the grass that the horses ate, so as to avoid being poisoned.
Li Luo got out of the carriage and looked at the water stack next to the stream and the cliff in the distance. He looked at the valley not far away and frowned. It looked more like an abandoned villa.
"Brother Kong, I look at the gate of this mountain. It's grand, but when I look closely, it's very depressed. I guess this Human Villa was once a wealthy family who settled here. Why is it so depressed now? It seems to be abandoned." Feng Yi also wondered on the side, "Isn't the layman Hu Man you mentioned no longer living in this valley?"
"Don't worry, you two. This Hu Man Villa looked like this many years ago. The layman Hu Man must have lived here in seclusion for many years, so he must be in the valley." Kong Ge replied.
"That's good, what should we do with this kid?" Feng Yi pointed to Xiao Yu lying in the car and muttered: "Hel him over? I'll wake him up right away."
In order to prevent Xiaoyu's wound from opening along the way, Feng Yi drove carefully with few bumps. Xiaoyu also fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up at this time.
Hearing this, Kong Ge quickly waved to Feng Yi and said anxiously, "Brother Feng, please say goodbye. Xiaoyu is seriously injured and can't walk yet!"
"Then I should carry him there?" Feng Yi muttered.
Kong Ge still waved his hand, "The wound is on the chest, and the poisonous needle pierced the lung. It's best not to stand upright. In addition, I scraped his bones last night. Although some of the toxins were removed, his life was temporarily saved. But for him, To put it bluntly, it's like adding injury to injury. To move him, he has to be carried on a stretcher."
"But right now, Li Luo is still injured and can't lift anything. Brother Kong, you are not a martial artist. You are not strong enough to lift him over with me." Feng Yi pointed to the carriage hanging on the side of the carriage. He lifted up the white cloth and muttered: "Isn't this difficult to handle?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll ask the layman to come and show Xiaoyu a look." Kong Ge waved his hand and said, "You and Miss Li stay here, and I'll go and invite the layman to come; but remember, this layman's surname is Hu Man. Tao, let’s just call him Mr. Tao.”
Hearing this, Feng Yi nodded and signaled Kong Ge to invite him quickly.
"Remember." Li Luo also nodded.
Only then did Kong Ge move along the plank road under the cliff on the side of the creek, straight to Human Villa.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two came carrying lanterns. Kong Ge walked in front, followed by a thin old man dressed as a farmer, carrying a medicine box. The two came in a hurry.
Walking closer, I could see the person clearly: a thin and dry build, an oval face, a slightly protruding stork bone, a bun on his head, and dressed in coarse cloth. He looked like a woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood.
"Brother Feng, Miss Li, this is the layman Hu Man, Mr. Tao, whom I told you." Kong Ge introduced the layman Hu Man to the two of them, then turned to Mr. Tao and said, "This is the man who is known in the world as Jianghu. Brother Feng Yi who is crazy about chess, this is little friend Li Luo from Li Zong."
"Mr. Feng, the chess madman Feng Yi, one of the Four Great Masters in the world, has been admired for a long time." Mr. Tao cupped his fists at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi replied with a smile: "A false reputation is not worth mentioning. Mr. Lao Tao has come to pay a visit."
. "
"You're welcome, is the injured person on the carriage?" Mr. Tao asked.
"Exactly." Feng Yi made a gesture of invitation.
Kong Ge also pointed to the light rain in the hood of the carriage and said to Mr. Tao: "Mr. Tao, the person who was poisoned is this little brother, the second disciple of Brother Feng."
Mr. Tao nodded.
Kong Ge stepped forward and was about to wake Xiao Yu up. After calling out several times, he didn't wake up. He stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Yu's forehead. There were signs of fever. He checked his nose again and found it was a little fainter.
"Mr. Tao, my little friend seems to have fainted again." Kong Ge said to Mr. Tao, "Thank you."
After Kong Ge finished speaking, he hung the lantern in his hand on the lamp hanging place on the roof of the carriage, then stepped back and invited Mr. Tao to come up.
Everyone waited quietly to one side, waiting for Mr. Tao to diagnose Xiaoyu's pulse.
Another half-quarter of an hour later, I saw that Mr. Tao's face was cloudy and uncertain. He rolled Xiaoyu's eyelids, removed Xiaoyu's bandage and inspected the wound, lifted Xiaoyu's arm, felt his pulse in several places on his back, and after some examination , Mr. Tao nodded slowly at first, and then shook his head with a melancholy look on his face; "Hey..." He then sighed softly, stepped out, and stood in front of everyone.
As a master of medical skills, Kong Ge naturally knew Xiaoyu's internal situation. He also told Mr. Tao about Xiaoyu's condition on the way here. Seeing Mr. Tao nodding and shaking his head, Kong Ge frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Mr. Tao, what are you doing?" What does this mean? But knowing what this poison is, how can you cure it like this?"
Mr. Tao slowly said: "This poison does have the symptoms of the 'Five Poison Life-Destroying Needles', which are mixed with thorn vine, golden toad skin, viper, blood-penetrating vine, and wart paint and root rot. Judging from the pulse, there must be another kind of poison that makes it...difficult...somewhat difficult!"
"The poison has penetrated the lungs. Is there any way to detoxify it?" Kong Ge asked anxiously.
"Let's carry him to my villa first, and I'll prepare some medicine to suppress the spread of poison and give it to him. If we want to find a specific antidote, I have to mix the poison myself, and then test the poison with some animals." Take medicine." Mr. Tao replied.
"Okay." After Kong Ge answered Mr. Tao, he turned to Feng Yi and nodded: "Brother Feng, let's carry Xiao Yu over first and stay in the village tonight while Mr. Tao detoxifies Xiao Yu. How about that?"
Feng Yi nodded, frowned and said, "That's all we can do."
It was already dark and the road was difficult to travel at night. After some discussion, Li Luo carried a lantern in front to illuminate the road. Feng Yi, Kong Ge, and Mr. Tao jointly carried Xiao Yu back to Human Villa. Afterwards, Feng Yi came to take the horse back. Take him back to the stables in the manor.
