After being delayed for such a while, it was fortunate that Uncle Liu was slow, otherwise he would definitely not be able to catch up with them.
This time the young man's attitude towards Zhao Zhizhi made a 360-degree turn, "Ms. Zhao, I have offended you a lot just now. My name is Mahu, and they all call me Huzi."
Zhao Zhizhi glanced behind him, "It's easy to talk, but where are the others? It's just you and Uncle Liu."
Ma Hu said sincerely: "They went to pick it elsewhere. There are only so many herbs on the mountain, and they must be unevenly distributed in one place. Uncle Liu is old, so I can't bear to accompany him."
This was a kind and kind man, and the last grudge in Zhao Zhizhi's heart was gone.
Uncle Liu was walking in front, turned around and asked casually: "Girl of the Zhao family, what are you doing here on the mountain?"
Zhao Zhizhi rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully, "I want to catch a snake and make medicinal wine for my father."
She wasn't afraid that her words would arouse suspicion, since the original person was quite courageous anyway.
Uncle Liu stopped and frowned, "Hey, that's much harder than finding herbs."
Zhao Zhizhi didn't know that venomous snakes usually appeared in damp places, but the village was already suffering from drought, and the land had long been dry and cracked, so there was no way to find any living creatures.
Ma Hu suddenly grabbed Zhao Zhizhi and Liu Bo, nervously made a "shh" gesture, and then pointed to the grass in front of him on the left.
Zhao Zhizhi took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be a five-flowered snake lurking there.
The three of them formed a siege formation in a tacit understanding, with Zhao Zhizhi and Ma Hu outflanking them on the left and right, with Liu Bo at the rear.
Ma Hu raised the bamboo cage above his head and pounced on it first. He hit it with one hit and howled excitedly: "I got it."
Zhao Zhizhi and Liu Bo quickly took a closer look and realized that it was just the shed skin of a five-flowered snake.
Sloppy scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm blind."
Zhao Zhizhi laughed, "I should praise you for your sharp eyesight. Since we can find snake skin, it means there must be a snake nest nearby."
There are usually herbs in the territory where poisonous snakes are entrenched. Ma Hu and Liu Bo looked at each other and planned to search for them together with her.
They had walked for an unknown amount of time, and the three of them had almost finished drinking the water in their water bottles.
Zhao Zhizhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and continued walking deeper.
God paid off and allowed her to find a cave.
Careless helped Uncle Liu sit down on a big rock to rest, then he came forward, looked at the dark cave, and said hesitantly: "Do we really want to go in?"
Zhao Zhizhi cautiously wandered outside the cave for a while, picked up a lot of stones and threw them inside. After making sure that there were no wild beasts here, he turned back to look at Ma Hu and Uncle Liu.
"I can go in by myself. There should be a lot of herbs outside the cave. It's getting late. You go and pick them up quickly."
Careless refused without thinking: "How can that be done? It's more dangerous for you to be alone."
Zhao Zhizhi persuaded them to agree. Uncle Liu sighed and said, "Be careful yourself. If you don't return to the village before sunset, I will bring the villagers to look for you."
After they left, Zhao Zhizhi took a deep breath and walked into the cave without hesitation.
The further inside she went, the darker the light became. She didn't even have the torch in her hand, but she already had the idea of retreating in her heart.
Zhao Zhizhi raised his hands and slapped both sides of his cheeks hard, and the crisp slaps echoed in the cave.
She was using this move to cheer herself up. She couldn't give up at all today.
Now that the road is no longer clear, try another way to continue walking.
Zhao Zhizhi moved decisively to the mountain wall, holding on to the cold mountain wall and moving forward slowly.
As everyone knows, danger lies ahead.
A colorful snake was coiled on the stone wall. As soon as Zhao Zhizhi's hand came over, it bit it at lightning speed.
The severe pain caused Zhao Zhizhi to scream uncontrollably. Fortunately, she was well prepared, endured the severe pain, and quickly attacked, throwing herself on the ground to catch the snake that was trying to escape.
Due to the dim light, she couldn't find the seven inches of the venomous snake at once.
So, after being bitten by the snake for the second time, he subdued it.
Zhao Zhizhi gritted his teeth and took out the oilcloth bag in his arms. There were some herbs to repel the five poisonous insects.
The fruit of Nepeta has the smell that snakes are afraid of. If you stuff a poisonous snake into it, it will soon stop moving.
Zhao Zhizhi was almost exhausted after persisting until now.
She didn't see the pattern of a poisonous snake, but judging from the severe pain in the wound and lightheadedness, the poison should be high.
Not wanting to leave the cave immediately, Zhao Zhizhi's legs softened and she fell directly to the ground. She was so dizzy that she could not concentrate.
She could only bite the tip of her tongue hard and taste the rusty blood before she managed to regain some consciousness.
In order to survive, she struggled to crawl forward, clawing at the ground with her hands.
The sharp rocks rubbed her palms to pieces, but she had been eroded by the poison and lost consciousness.
Fortunately, wherever venomous snakes are found, there are almost always herbs to detoxify them.
She did find a herbal medicine, but she wasn't sure whether it could be used, so Zhao Zhizhi used her last strength to get up and run towards the entrance of the cave.
After finally seeing the light again, Zhao Zhizhi quickly brought the herbs to his eyes for confirmation.
You can vaguely see that this herb is not big, with more than ten leaves, and a rhizome with whiskers.
This plant is called "Snake Bud Valley" and is specially designed to detoxify snake venom. It is extremely difficult to find on weekdays.
Zhao Zhizhi put the leaves directly into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them, and ground the rhizome and applied it to the affected area.
However, before she could apply it, her vision went dark and she fainted.
Wei Shao appeared from the darkness. He followed the traces after asking the villagers.
Ever since he discovered something special about Zhao Zhizhi, Wei Shao had become suspicious.
At first, I thought she was just an ordinary farmer's daughter, but after getting along with her for a long time, I found that she had many secrets, and they couldn't be found out.
Because of his special status, there will be people who want to assassinate him wherever he travels, and there have also been betrayers around him.
Therefore, he was very wary of the people around him. Before catching up, he even suspected that Zhao Zhizhi was the person sent by his political opponents to lurk around him.
This was also the reason why he did not follow Zhao Zhizhi in immediately after he entered the cave.
He was thinking at the time that if Zhao Zhizhi was in danger and died inside, it would be her fate, and he would no longer have to worry about other things that had not happened yet.
However, Zhao Zhizhi came out alive, but her situation did not seem optimistic.
Wei Shao walked closer to her, and when he knelt down, he noticed the ground herbs in her hand and the two wounds on her hands that were bleeding black blood.
It was obvious that he was poisoned by snake venom. Wei Shao frowned, wondering why she wanted to catch the poisonous snake. Could it be to poison him?
It seems unlikely. If it were someone sent by a political enemy, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
Wei Shao opened the bag and saw a motionless poisonous snake inside.
Seeing the markings on its body clearly, his expression suddenly became serious.
