Zhao Kuo and the woman traveled through the jungle, and after half a stick of incense, they finally returned to the place where Murong Yan was injured. Seeing that the foreign woman beside him was still sobbing, Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "Stop crying! Find a way to save people!" Bai Feng on the side was very confused when he saw this situation.
Then, the woman replied: "I can't save her. Only grandma has the antidote. Come with me quickly. If you don't get the antidote within an hour, there will be no cure..."
The other four had no choice but to follow her and move forward cautiously. Where are you taking us? What happened to this woman and Zhao Kuo? Bai Feng carried the unconscious Murong Yan on her back and asked Zhao Kuo with these questions: "Brother Zhao, what happened between you and that woman just now?"
"I...I beat her..." Zhao Kuo knew that bullying a weak woman was not an honest thing, so he replied with shame: "Because she threw our token off the cliff..."
"This..." Bai Feng looked puzzled and looked at the woman leading the way.
"What! My Miao family can easily make a token like that, how can you bully a girl because of something like that!" The Miao girl who was walking in front complained with a hint of tears.
"Girl...what's your name?" Zhao Kuo asked cautiously, fearing that Miao Nu would suddenly change his mind and that he would be apologetic.
"Call me Ajuan!"
"Then... Miss Ajuan, I just acted on impulse, please don't take it to heart..."
"If I help you save people, you will owe another debt!"
After half a moment, everyone walked to a hut in a dense forest. A wooden fence creates a circle from the outside of the house, and in addition to the hut, the circle is also filled with various plants. Some are common herbs, while others are poisonous weeds that ordinary people have never heard of. After entering the door, a short stature, with a green wooden cane thicker than her own arm in her left hand, and an elderly woman came into view. When Ajuan saw her, he immediately lost his arrogance and became respectful.
"Ajuan, what trouble did you get into again?" the old woman asked slowly.
"Grandma! I didn't let Hong'er out this time, it slipped out on its own." Ajuan replied in a delicate voice: "I accidentally bumped into someone when I sang to call Hong'er back to me, and then... …It just bit people…”
The old woman sighed, glanced angrily at Ajuan beside her, and ordered: "You, go and kneel at the door first." After speaking, Ajuan reluctantly walked to the door and knelt there, with his hands intertwined. Together, it makes people feel like a well-behaved little girl waiting to be punished. At the same time, the old woman said to the young man with the weapon in front of her: "Young hero, please put the girl on the bed first..."
Bai Feng followed the instructions and placed Murong Yan on the green bamboo bed covered only with a straw mat. Everyone looked at the old woman taking the patient's pulse, and saw her suddenly widening her deep eyes, as if she knew something. Then, she expertly pricked the acupoints with needles and began to treat Murong Yan. After about a stick of incense, the old woman put the medical needle back to its original place and asked Bai Feng seriously: "Young hero, when was this girl poisoned?"
"It's been an hour." Bai Feng replied.
"This is strange." The old woman said: "In ordinary people, the snake venom cannot be treated within half an hour. The toxin should have spread long ago. But this girl not only did not spread, but suppressed most of the toxin. She is now unconscious. , it’s just because the wound is too painful..."
Bai Feng looked at the unconscious Murong Yan and had more questions about her. She couldn't help but sigh: "What on earth is going on?"
"The girl is not an ordinary person, so I have no way of knowing the rest," the old woman replied. After finishing speaking, the old woman walked towards Ajuan with a cane and asked: "Ajuan, do you know that you are wrong?"
"I... what did I do wrong? This time it was obviously an accident..." As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman waved the crutch in her hand and hit Ajuan's thigh. She whined in pain: "Grandma, stop it! It hurts! Kill me!"
"You made the mistake of raising venomous snakes before you had mastered the art of poison resistance!" After saying that, the old woman hit Ajuan on the buttocks with the wooden cane. Even though Ajuan's body shook unconsciously, she did not dare to Use this to stand up. The old woman went on to say: "You are almost 20 years old, and you still do things so poorly. How did your mother usually teach you..."
When Zhao Xiaomei saw this, she was secretly glad that she had never been beaten like this before, but her brother had a different story inside.
Suddenly, Zhao Kuo stepped forward and knelt down in front of Ajuan. He faced the old woman and stopped him: "Senior, please let me be punished on behalf of Miss Ajuan! I owe this to Miss Ajuan!"
Poor Ajuan saw a tall and strong man standing in front of her, and she suddenly felt a secret feeling in her heart. But before she got permission, she could only kneel there and stare at the aftermath of the incident with blackthorn-black eyes. develop.
"Okay! We also found a wild boy to help!" The old woman looked at Zhao Kuo with a hint of approval in her anger and said, "See if you can withstand my stick! Hey!" The old woman riveted He used all his strength to hit Zhao Kuo on the back. Zhao Kuo had already tensed his muscles to prepare for this attack. Because he had never practiced martial arts, he still suffered. This blow caused him to lie on the ground coughing, but Zhao Kuo did not complain or cry out in pain.
When Zhao Xiaomei saw her brother lying on the ground, she went up and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"
"You can't stand it after just one stick. Why should I try to be a hero?" After the old woman finished speaking, she was ready to strike a second blow at Zhao Kuo.
When the crutch was about to hit Zhao Kuo, Ajuan protected Zhao Kuo with his own body and cried repeatedly: "Grandma, I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I shouldn't be playful and raise venomous snakes... …”
The old woman took back her crutches and said with relief: "Ajuan, get up and help this young man heal his injuries."
Ajuan obediently obeyed her grandma's arrangement, and together with Zhao Xiaomei, she helped Zhao Kuo aside to treat his injuries. The old woman turned to Bai Feng and Murong Yan, and said apologetically: "Young hero, I will take the place of my worthless granddaughter to help you and this girl."
"Senior, please get up quickly." Before the old woman saluted, Bai Feng stopped her and said, "Since the person is fine, there is no need to worry about it anymore."
"Rong Laoshen, I want to ask more, why do you guys come to Qianfengling?"
"We were just passing through here, and the pass token we were carrying was accidentally lost. I wonder if seniors know any way to get out of the mountain?"
"Oh, I'm telling you the truth." The old woman said earnestly: "The Miao people in Qianfengling were not very welcoming to outsiders at first. However, due to the lack of supplies, they gradually allowed outside merchants to come in and out. Most people can come in, but it is difficult for them to come in." out."
"Then...is there any other way?"
"Tomorrow I'll ask Ajuan to take you to see the clan leader, and we'll talk about it then. We have to find a place to rest first, and Ajuan will take you to Qianfeng Town..."
Ajuan and others, who were dealing with injuries on the other side, were applying medicine to Zhao Kuo. I saw that Zhao Kuo had taken off his shirt, revealing his strong back to Ajuan, and there was a long bruise on his back. While Ajuan was applying the medicine, she secretly blamed her grandma for being too heavy-handed.
Zhao Kuo endured the severe pain and said to Ajuan behind him: "Miss Ajuan, have I paid off the debt I owe you?"
Ajuan didn't expect that the man in front of her would actually remember her words completely, so she replied: "No! Now that I'm giving you medicine, you owe me another debt!"
"Haha." Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "How can you be such a rogue?"
The little girl sandwiched between the two suddenly felt that she should not be here at this time, and she felt ashamed, so she secretly ran outside to the medicine field. He complained secretly: "They all have company, but I don't have anything..."
After Murong Yan regained consciousness, Bai Feng carried her back to Dao Junma and rode on the road to Qianfeng Town. During this time, Bai Feng led Murong Yan's horse forward, while Ajuan rode Bai Feng's horse to lead the way. After several people introduced each other and formed a bond, Ajuan began to introduce the origin of Qianfeng Town to everyone. It turns out that Qianfeng Town was built by Han people who fled the war and came to Qianfengling. Most of the Han people there were wealthy businessmen, former officials, farmers, and people who were living in seclusion due to the war. Because these people promised not to leave Qianfengling, and establishing a town would be conducive to the supply of materials, the local Miao people would agree to the Han people's relocation.
Hearing this, Zhao Kuo asked: "In other words, once you come in, you can't go out?"
"Usually that's the case." Ajuan replied, "But you are different."
"Oh?" Zhao Kuo asked doubtfully.
"Because you know me, and my mother is the chief of the local Miao people!"
"Oh!" Several people said in unison, except Zhao Xiaomei, who was wondering what she was secretly thinking about...
