Avril simply treated my wound and regretfully told me that there is no targeted antidote for this toxin in the world. I have to pay attention to my condition at all times and can only wait for the toxicity to be metabolized bit by bit.
Boss Sun asked Fatty to check his back to see if he had been hit. The fat man impatiently asked him to roll his eyelids and had no time to pay attention to him.
After a good inspection, Boss Sun breathed a sigh of relief and then said to me: "It's okay, Brother Cao! Now just tie a rope to me or Fatty! We won't leave you!"
"You old street boy, have you made a mistake? You are the outsider among us, okay? Please set your position!" This trick of overestimating the guest made the fat man very angry, and he tried to imitate it with vague words. Qing cursed back in Cantonese Mandarin, and the others didn't pay much attention to Boss Sun.
After a short narration, we continued on our way, but our eyelids became more and more itchy, as if we were holding back tears. They were swollen and numb, and our vision began to blur.
Although it had just passed the early morning, the curtain had already been drawn down, and it was all gray, as if the sun had returned to its slumber and selfishly slid down the hillside.
The feeling of irritation and depression in my heart is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that I am going to be blind in broad daylight!
Avril Lavigne said it was lucky that my skin was sensitive, otherwise it would be too late by the time the recluse spider crawled all over my back.
Before everything fell into darkness, I noticed that the red and white pimples on my arms had faded a lot. I didn't know if they had turned into black spots that were hard to distinguish, or if they had really disappeared.
They have never experienced the feeling of blindness. There are always people who think that the endless darkness is the world of the blind, but this is not the case. Close one eye and cover the other eye with your hand. The hopeless emptiness is the real world for the blind.
I put my hands on the fat man's shoulders, and the two of them shared a pair of eyes. The team's progress was also slowed down.
Avril, who suddenly led the team, stopped us where we were. I tilted my head and waited for her discovery with empty eyes. She seemed to be picking up a tree, and there seemed to be some kind of mark on the tree. After careful identification, Avril told us that this was a set of signals unique to Don Jade.
It can be seen from the signal that Tang Jade's team split into two and set off separately. The signal was meant to remind the latter that there was potential danger on the road ahead.
Since the team is divided into two parts, they must not be in front and one behind, but should be separated on the left and right. If you can leave a mark, it means that this path is the right one. Otherwise, you won't leave a mark to remind the latter.
I learned from Avril that Morgan Company’s individual soldiers are very strong, and they are all well-trained elites with strong execution capabilities, including many retired special forces from various countries.
Therefore, the marks and communication between them are very strict and have independent sets.
The fat man immediately became vigilant. It would be a situation where there was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. It would be unpleasant to be outflanked.
Avril did not reject this possibility. She said that if the team behind them followed, they would destroy the mark. Now that the mark is still here, it only means that they are still halfway, or they can no longer reach it!
The only good news is that no traces of the camp have been found, which proves that Tang Jade's team may not have rested all night, and also shows that their team is equipped with advanced night vision equipment.
Is it possible that this was supposed to be their camp location, but a potential danger forced them to flee overnight and leave a mark as a reminder.
But what kind of danger would make such a well-equipped "professional gang" avoid it?
I can hear the compass cover lifting, Avril must be making her judgment. After a brief thought, Avril, as the team leader, decided to move forward at a slight angle.
When we set off again, everyone except me kept our eyes wide open and moved forward cautiously, but I kept my ears open for fear of missing any dangerous information.
This high level of tension lasted for nearly an hour. Boss Sun followed me closely, and I could hear his heavy breathing clearly.
At this time, a kettle was handed over from behind, and Boss Sun said to me: "Brother Cao, it's hard for you not to be able to see. Drink some water!"
Boss Sun may have been too nervous and kept talking to himself about the origins of his antique business.
He was talking about a business trip to Tianjin Wei a few years ago, and was lucky enough to visit the home of a local owner. There was a small earth dragon, only about a year old, lying on a red sandalwood box. Its body was dry but not flat, and it was slimy. Yes, I heard that I have been lying here for more than thirty years, but there is no rancid smell. This is really amazing.
It is said that this red sandalwood box came from a Yuan Dynasty tomb. Just after it was unearthed from the bottom, an earth dragon fell from the tree and happened to hit the box. Its four small claws grabbed the surface of the outer box like a magnet. That’s thirty years.
The miraculous anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation properties of red sandalwood are beyond everyone’s expectation. Now Boss Sun has a dream to build a high-quality red sandalwood coffin for himself.
Sandalwood is precious, especially old red sandalwood, which is hard to find. If you want to build a coffin, you can imagine the sky-high price.
I agree with this. Rosewood furniture is common on the market. Although the price is expensive, it can never be compared with what Boss Sun wants.
Although they are all called red sandalwood, their material and growth environment can be refined into many types.
There is a kind of sandalwood called Ghostface, which is a rare and rare material. Not to mention making it into a coffin, even a string of beads can be sold for a sky-high price.
What Boss Sun wanted was sandalwood of this texture. There was no chance of finding it on the market, so he focused his attention on dead people and planned to find a red sandalwood coffin that had been used by ancient corpses. And the lightning-struck wood was just an unexpected find during the search.
It happens that this place is rich in sandalwood. After thousands of years of evolution, if you find a sandalwood product from an ancient tomb, even if it is not a coffin, its value will be immeasurable!
The fat man dismissed it. In Cantonese, he said, Boss Sun is really sharp. He didn't even think about how to move the coffin even if he found it. Could it be that he wanted us to move the coffin together?
Boss Sun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it. I will have a solution when the time comes! I can only say that if you really find a thousand-year-old sandalwood coffin, even a small piece of it can be made into sandalwood for several meals." For life!"
Although I couldn't see it, I could still feel Boss Sun's money-grubbing face. At this time, Long Wu handed over a few leaves, and I smelled a sour smell. Avril explained that these mountain herbs have the effect of detoxifying and improving eyesight. Long Wu specially picked them, and swallowing them is beneficial and harmless.
Cang Yu, a rhizome plant not even recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica, has slightly bitter fruits with stems and leaves that look very similar to sweet potato leaves. Its leaves are sour and astringent, and can improve eyesight and detoxify.
The above information was obtained from another book "Jiancao Ji". Photographic memory is one of Cao's special skills, and it comes in handy from time to time.
Long Wu and Avril were close partners before, and their ability to survive in the wild can be rated as five stars. You may not be able to pronounce the name Cangyu, but you can still recognize its effects.
"Jiancao Ji" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" are only more than ten years apart, but its content is surprisingly filled with omissions and gaps, very much like two crescent moons put together to fill up, but the latter is more famous.
In fact, history is very confusing. Many things that happened during the same period are incredible. For example, when the Egyptians built the pyramids, the mammoths were not yet extinct.
