Several people entered Hu Man Villa and found that it had been abandoned for a long time. The corridors were covered with dust, the garden was piled with dirt, and ruins and broken walls could be seen everywhere.
After nearly three corridors, everyone arrived at the entire Zhuangzi's backyard.
In such a large Hu Man Villa, the only place that doesn't look shabby is the backyard.
The backyard is backed by the entire villa, and there are six residences, three large and three small, divided into firewood, stove, hall, medicine, bedroom, and toilet. In front of the residence, there is a long and square courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. , and outside is a fenced yard, which is usually planted with vegetables and fruits, and half of it is planted with various poisonous herbs. Outside is a square field of one acre, where rice is planted, and there is a mountain spring and an ancient well on the side. It has all the daily necessities, which is enough for layman Hu Man. Self-sufficient.
The night is hazy, and looking out from the backyard dam, we can see the faint mountains, lush and green.
The carved beams and painted buildings in the front yard of Human Villa are all in ruins, but the tiled roof in the backyard is the secluded residence of Mr. Tao, a layman of Human Villa.
Mr. Tao showed the way, Li Luo led the way with a lantern, and several people carried Xiao Yu to Yaofang's bed and settled down.
"Please Mr. Tao, please take action and detoxify my disciple as soon as possible. We have to continue on our way, but we don't have much time to rest." After Feng Yi put down Xiaoyu, he clasped his fists at Mr. Tao.
Mr. Tao frowned and sighed and replied: "Mr. Feng, I have already examined my disciple. This poison cannot be cured in a short time. It will take a day for me to develop the antidote. Please stay here temporarily." One day."
"But..." Feng Yi frowned, worried that if he delayed for one more day, the killers from the Seventh Floor and the Lu Jiao would come after him, and then he would be in trouble.
"Brother Feng, if Xiaoyu's body is poisoned, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive another three days." Kong Ge said worriedly from one side.
"Forget it, Mr. Lao Tao is here." Feng Yi nodded immediately, thanked Mr. Tao again, and thought to himself: This kid's life is more important right now, so as soon as the poison on his body is cured, he will go south immediately.
The few people took a short rest. Mr. Tao first prepared tea for them to quench their thirst, and then pointed out the uses of each room to everyone, and then returned to the pharmacy.
Mr. Tao pointed to another empty couch and arranged: "Everyone, my village is deserted. I am the only old man in the village. Please do your best. There are two beds in this pharmacy. This patient is poisoned." One for the little brother, and the other for Mr. Kong and Feng. As for the little girl, there is a couch in the woodshed to rest on."
Kong Ge and Feng Yi knew that Li Luo had feelings for Xiao Yu. Before Feng Yi could speak, Kong Ge muttered to one side: "Brother Feng and I are rough people and don't know how to take care of others. In my opinion, Li Luo The girl is Xiaoyu’s best friend, so it’s best to stay in this room and take care of him. As for the couch in the woodshed, it’s best to leave it to me and Brother Feng! How about it? Miss Liluo!”
Seeing that Xiao Yu was still unconscious, Li Luo felt worried and replied, "That's fine, I'll take care of Xiao Yu."
After everyone decided where to stay for the night, Mr. Tao began to prepare an antidote for Xiao Yu in the pharmacy.
Feng Yi and Li Luo went to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water for later use, and then cooked porridge for meals.
Although Kong Ge was a bit weak in toxicology, he was also a master of medical skills. He stayed in the pharmacy to help Mr. Tao prepare medicines.
In the kitchen, Feng Yi boiled water and asked Li Luo to make porridge.
There was no problem with boiling water, but Li Luo always only liked lighting fires and adding firewood. He had no experience in cooking. He added half a pot of water to a pot of porridge, and it was very thin. Feng Yi looked to one side and shook his head, thinking, ' It’s useless to expect this girl to be delicious! , then he got up and scooped out a lot of cooking water for her, and successfully cooked it into porridge.
Inside the pharmacy.
After Mr. Tao dug out the thorn vines, golden toad skin, vipers, bloody vines, and warts and rotten roots one by one, he also dug out the corresponding antidotes one by one. Place it on the table. Then he dug out the poison that he thought might be the last poison, placed it on the other side of the table, and asked Kong Ge to catch a few of his domestic rabbits under the eaves to test the poison.
Half an hour later, the two of them had completed one round of mixing and detoxifying the poison, which ended in failure.
At this time, the porridge has been cooked and everyone eats it
After that, they all watched Mr. Tao develop the antidote to the poison.
Two hours passed and it was already late at night.
While everyone was confused, Mr. Tao was still testing various medicines. He was still unable to figure out the last poison that Xiaoyu had been poisoned by.
Kong Ge knew that Li Luo was injured, and it seemed that Li Luo would not need to take care of Xiao Yu tonight, so he asked Li Luo to go to the woodshed to rest and recuperate. Then he asked Feng Yi to sleep in the nearby pharmacy to recuperate in case of emergency. However, he and Mr. Tao did not plan to sleep, they just spent the whole night looking for an antidote. They must develop the antidote as soon as possible to save Xiao Yu.
More than three hours have passed.
Hu Man layman Mr. Tao and Kong Ge had to stay up all night. Many of Mr. Tao's little rabbits died. They tried eight kinds of poisons, none of which were unknown to Xiao Yu. They still couldn't try them out.
Obviously, the "five poisons and life-threatening needles" mentioned by Mr. Tao in Xiaoyu are not the "five poisons" but the "six poisons and life-threatening needles". He knows five of the six poisons, but the last one is still unclear. He dare not easily prepare an antidote for Xiao Yu, for fear of backfire.
Feng Yi and Li Luo had both woken up from sleep, and went to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water for Kong and Tao to wash their faces and pour tea to warm their stomachs, so that they could continue to develop the antidote.
The morning sun shines on the lush greenery of Human Mountain. Among the green peaks, smoke curls up from the kitchen, which is the backyard of Human Villa.
At the same time, the water stack square in the front yard of Human Villa.
Along the horse path of Xishan Road, a pretty girl in red came riding a horse. She saw the villa was in ruins and thought that there was no one in the mountain. However, she could see that there were new carriage hoods placed and there was smoke rising from the kitchen, so she knew that Human Villa was occupied by someone.
But I saw that she wore a broken sword with a ruler on her left waist, and three small cloth bags embroidered with flowers, grass, and butterflies on her right waist. I don't know what was inside, but they were bulging.
He turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to the tying stone, and then walked towards the villa.
"Is there anyone there?" She saw that the front yard was in ruins, so she went straight to the smoke, and when she reached the side of the backyard, she called out.
"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?" The girl in red shouted as she walked, slowly reaching the door of the backyard where the fire was lit, and her voice became quieter.
Li Luo, who was boiling water in the kitchen, heard the words and felt that the voice was familiar. He quickly put down his work and ran out. Then he exclaimed in surprise: "Sister Qin Shuang!!"
"Sister Li Luo! Why are you here?" Poinsettia Qin Shuang also asked in surprise.
When Feng Yi heard this, he was worried that Mr. Hu Man wouldn't be able to save Xiao Yu if he wasn't strong enough. When he heard Li Luo at the door exclaiming that Qin Shuang had appeared, he was startled at first, then smiled slightly and welcomed him out.
