The old lady glanced at Pei Yubing and said, "It's getting late. You all can go stay in my humble residence today." Then she waved her hands and asked the men to carry Chu Huizhou away.
Along the way, Pei Yubing found that although this village looked poor, it was relatively wealthy. Compared with the previous villages, it had a civil structure, with curved or sloped roofs, covered with green tiles or thatch. The houses are built close to the mountains and rivers, and are scattered among the fields. The roads in the village are wide and flat, connecting every household, making it easier for villagers to communicate with each other.
Going further back, you can see the undulating peaks in the northwest of Xuefeng Mountain. The territory has towering ancient trees, tall bamboos, twining vines, fragrant flowers and plants, and is decorated with stone steps, winding paths, pavilions and monuments. A paradise on earth. And it seems that they can be self-sufficient in terms of food, which is not at all like today's world. The old woman seemed to know what Pei Yubing was thinking and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Pei Yubing recovered a little and smiled at the old lady, "It's okay, old lady, I was just thinking about something."
The old lady followed everyone slowly and slowly on crutches, "Little girl, there are some things that you still have to say. It's uncomfortable to keep the grievances in your heart."
Pei Yubing looked at the dusk in the distance and looked at the old lady. She was not asking about the matter in her heart. She felt that it would be better to bury some things in her heart. "Old madam, I think our village is different from others." Too much the same.”
The first few turned back to look at Pei Yubing, but their eyes were very strange. The old lady said lightly, "Due to the special terrain here, we have not had any communication with the outside world for many years and have always been closed. With this model, you can eat whatever you grow yourself and there is no need to go to other villages.”
Pei Yubing nodded after hearing this. It seemed that this was not simple.
The main purpose now is to wake Mr. Chu up.
When he arrived at the old lady's residence, Pei Yubing found that the old lady's place looked particularly prominent compared to the surrounding environment of other people's homes. The towering walls, huge stone pillars, carved gates, and well-proportioned eaves and tiles give people a solemn and mysterious feeling.
As soon as those people saw their destination, they quickly put Chu Huizhou down, and Sayazi ran out as if there was a wild beast chasing behind him.
Pei Yubing saw this scene...
The old lady said, "Except for the main hall, you can't choose the courtyard. You can choose any room with him and move around as you like. There are rice vats and other food in the backyard. You can eat by yourself. I, a lonely old man, can't eat much. After saying that, I sat down." Go to the chair and start to relax with your eyes closed."
After hearing this, Pei Yubing thanked her quietly and started to take Chu Huizhou to find a room. There was a room very close to the backyard. Pei Yubing opened the door and walked in, and gently put Chu Huizhou on the well bed. "
Pei Yubing looked at Chu Huizhou's uncomfortable expression and sighed softly. She stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, which was still very hot, so she went out to the backyard to look for something that could hold water. Her hard work paid off and she finally found a bronze Fish wash basin, also known as fish wash basin. She picked up the shark croaker and arranged it in the basin, then applied it on Chu Huizhou's forehead again. At first, she was still looking at the candle to estimate the time, but then she forced herself to stand up and persist. I need to get up tomorrow to see where the medicinal materials are.
Just after dawn, he heard the crowing of the rooster. When Pei Yu got up, he changed the ice again. He went to the backyard to make porridge with rice. He took a bowl and went to the old lady first. The old lady tasted it. Although there was nothing He didn't say it, but Pei Yubing could see that the old lady liked this bowl of porridge very much. After the old lady finished drinking it, she started to feed Chu Huizhou the porridge, little by little. After a while, she waited until Chu Huizhou finished drinking it. , she just started eating by herself.
After eating, she asked where the herbal medicine was. The old lady said, "The back mountain is there, but it is very dangerous. Does she have to decide to go?" Pei Yubing thanked her and said that she must go, and turned around and left. After a basket went out, I was thinking, he was the one who saved me. If he hadn't protected her at that time, her situation might have been even more embarrassing than it is now.
On the way to the back mountain, the eyes of the villagers were more or less puzzled. They had not seen anyone here for a long time, but they heard that it was left by the old lady, and none of them dared to say anything. They all followed Pei Yubing to see where she was going. The back mountain was usually a forbidden area and no one could enter. Pei Yubing looked at the gatekeeper and said, "Can you be accommodating and let me in?"
The gatekeeper looked at her and said, "Are you sure you want to go in? It's very dangerous inside, and there will be bugs and beasts. I won't save you. If you're not careful, you may lose your life. Do you still want to go in?" ?”
Pei Yubing's face was determined, "Yes! I'm not afraid." The gatekeeper couldn't persuade him and had to let Pei Yubing in.
After Pei Yubing went in, he observed the environment and found that there was no danger. Then he recalled in his mind what medical books said could cure fevers. One of them came to mind: honeysuckle, which seemed to like growing in a sunny place. , a place with good drainage and acidic soil. It seems that we still need to walk further inside.
Looking back at its appearance, isn't that what it looked like? The appearance of honeysuckle is characterized by a semi-evergreen woody vine with green or reddish-brown young branches and dense hairs; the leaves are oval to oblong-ovate, with dark green on the back and light green on the front; the flowers grow on parallel stems and are yellow and white. The corolla is lip-shaped, the tube is short, and the outer part is covered with strigose hairs and long glandular hairs;
The fruit is round, blue-black, shiny, and the seeds are oval or elliptical. There are two types, but this is not difficult for Pei Yubing. One is emerald green with a light fragrance and thick roots, and the other is dark yellow in color, abnormally green, with a pungent smell, and the roots are small, so it must be The green ones are of better quality.
Pei Yubing picked some, but it was still not enough. Honeysuckle was bitter and cold, so it would be better to find other medicinal materials to match with Chu Huizhou. He held a stick in his hand for self-defense. He also needed to look for mulberry leaves, light bamboo leaves, mint, Bupleurum... OK.
Pei Yubing carefully observed the movement around him as he walked, and only started to take action when he found that there was no movement. He would be lying if he said he was not afraid. Before his escape, he only received piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some medical skills from his grandmother.
………
After a long time, when Pei Yubing found the last medicinal material, when she was about to pick it, she noticed movement next to her feet. When she looked at her feet, she was stunned. It was a snake with a triangular head and a sharp and sharp mouth. Flexible fangs can quickly spray venom. Its scales shimmering with cold light seemed to be telling it that it was a fatal threat.
