Fu Lin's birthday is the Weishi, and for the sake of convenience, the rainwater after the Weishi can't be used, so when the Weishi is about to pass, Fu Qingluan has already returned with the half pot of rainwater.

He hung the coir raincoat under the eaves of the car shaft, and when he entered the car, Xie Yu was already there.

Fu Qingluan put down the pot first, then went to the back of the car to change out his half-wet clothes, and then sat cross-legged in front of Fu Lin holding the pot, holding a small bowl and a spoon in his hand, and did nothing else. Yes, every once in a while, I use a small spoon to scoop out a little bit of water from the pot, pour it into a small bowl, take a sip, taste the taste carefully, and then continue to wait.

Tang Yushui sat beside him curiously, nibbling a bean paste bun in his hand, "Master, why did you soak the turtle shell in the water?" He thought for a while: "Is this the medicine for payment?"

Fu Qingluan glanced at him, and from the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xie Yu beside him also showed a questioning expression, and Fu Qingluan laughed. He first raised his hand to test Fu Lin's forehead temperature, and then held the pot and said, "Yu Ling The tortoise, which has been refined for thousands of years, is a rare spiritual thing in the world. Its shell can detoxify all kinds of poisons. Of course, in addition to the most important detoxification effect, it also has an additional function, that is, it can clear silt and open the orifices, and relieve people's pain. "

When he said this, he looked at the tortoise shell and said, "This tortoise shell is almost 3000 years old. The best way is to smoke it with vinegar, then grind it into powder, and mix it with a few suitable medicinal materials to give Fu Lin Use a little bit, just a little bit will work, but unfortunately there is no such condition now, I think about it, and I will use the current method to relieve him."

"However, I've only read it from ancient books, and I haven't verified it myself." Fu Qingluan raised her head and looked at Xie Yu: "Do you dare to let me try it for him?"

Xie Yu's eyes fluctuated for a moment, then he raised his eyes and looked at Fu Qingluan: "Yes."

"What if it doesn't work? What if it not only doesn't work, but also makes Fu Lin worse?!"

Xie Yu pursed his lips, and looked at Fu Qingluan with a good eye. His hands clenched tightly, and then slowly loosened: "Just use it, I believe in your ability."

"Okay." Fu Qingluan glanced at him appreciatively, then turned around with a smile, and said helplessly in her heart: It seems that I still can't trust me!This apprentice will give me some headaches in the future.

The tortoise shell was soaked in water, and Fu Qingluan waited for more than half an hour, savoring the strong aroma of the water, before letting Xie Yu help Fu Lin and feed him a half bowl.

Fu Lin couldn't wake up at first, but after a few mouthfuls of feeding, his complexion obviously improved, and his frowning eyebrows relaxed a little bit. He opened his eyes, looked at the nervous crowd surrounding him, and Fu Lin covered his face. Feeling uncomfortable, he looked at everyone with a smile and said, "What are you doing around me? I just fell asleep. It's fine."

He picked up the bowl curiously, drank the remaining water himself, and when he handed the bowl back to Xie Yu, he seemed to let out a breath of stale air that had accumulated in his chest for a long time, and asked with a sigh: "What is this?" What? I feel comfortable after drinking it."

A touch of joy and relief floated in Xie Yu's eyes, "It was Wuming who made it for you."

Fu Lin turned to Fu Qingluan with a smile: "Thank you."

Seeing the two of them like this, Fu Qingluan felt relieved: "You're welcome."

In the days that followed, Fu Lin acquired another habit, that is, when he was free, he would hold the pot filled with turtle shells and soaked water from time to time.

The number of hugs has increased, and Tang Yushui and Tang Yushui have developed a hobby, that is, watching the turtle shell dangle in the water while the carriage is bumping.You can also bet Tang Yushui how many times it can touch the side of the pot in a quarter of an hour, and how many times it will make noises, which is quite interesting.Fu Qingluan joined once in the middle, and after winning easily, he felt that it was boring, one time was enough, and wanted to ask Xie Yu to join, but it was a pity that Xie Yu refused.

They quit, and the two young ones continued to play happily, winning and losing, almost becoming a hobby.

During the period, I don't know which pot Fu Qingluan snatched the lid of which pot in Xiaowushan, and replaced the big leaf that was used to cover the pot at first. Although the lid is slightly larger, it is still tight on the pot. Just cover it with the lid, and the turtle shell has been soaked in the water, and the water has always been kept fresh.

Fu Lin needs to drink this water twice a day, one time is half a bowl, half a pot of water, if it continues like this, it will not take a few days.

The pain in Fu Lin's body was worse, and his energy level was obviously better than before, but his injury was still there, so Xie Yu still didn't let him move around.So Fu Lin continued to wait obediently.

Fu Qingluan said that when he entered the mountain and found the village of the ethnic minorities inside, and went there to buy new materials, if he was lucky, he would be able to gather all the materials he needed and use the spirit turtle shell for him in a serious way.

After hearing this, Fu Lin felt a faint hope in his heart.

After Fu Lin felt the pain this time, everyone rushed faster than usual. In only three days, they left the hilly area and entered the mountains.

There will be some ethnic minorities in the mountains, and they can go to these ethnic minority settlements to resupply the supplies that have been used up on the road.

After entering the mountains, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the terrain is very difficult to walk. Their speed will inevitably slow down. Fortunately, not far into the mountains, they can reach a stockade. The location is remote, but there are often merchants passing by, and because the stockade often does business with these merchants, the supplies in the stockade are also considered rich.

The only thing is, if ordinary merchants or passers-by want to enter the stockade to buy, they need to be introduced by caravans who are familiar with the stockade.Fortunately, Min Qingxian has already made preparations for this.

In the early morning of this day, they stood in a valley wearing morning dew, listening to Min Qingxian who rarely gathered everyone together.

Fu Lin opened the window, Tang Yushui was lying on the window, Xie Yu was standing by the shaft of the car, Fu Qingluan was paralyzed on the shaft of the car with his back leaning against the wall of the car, and together with the people in Xiao Wushan who formed a circle, they looked at the station. In the center of the crowd, Min Qingxian walked up and down with a serious face.

"The village we are going to enter this time is not an ordinary village." Min Qingxian said solemnly with his hands behind his back: "It is a place where young people gather. They have their own unique beliefs and ways of doing things, and there are many taboos. The sects that use poisonous insects are inextricably linked, and we should also taboo them. In short, let’s take a ride here, everyone, we have important things to do, so there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble.”

After he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, raised his eyes and swept across the crowd majestically, and raised a hand, pointing at those who like to make trouble, he emphasized: "Especially you guys, please remember something special!" , this is for you to hear.”

As soon as the words fell, Min Qingxian turned her hands behind her back, turned her gaze at an angle, and inadvertently glanced at Fu Qingluan.

Fu Qingluan scratched his forehead: "It's not that he was careless, he always felt that the glance that Min Qingxian glanced at him just now, that seemingly inadvertent, lingering for a moment, was intentional, and it was Min Qingxian's deliberate act." Of the.Although he didn't care about it privately, he still felt that he should give an attitude, so he immediately stated: "Don't worry, a gentleman like me will definitely be cautious in his words and deeds, and set an example for everyone." .”

After he finished speaking, he knocked on the wall of the car: "Is that right, Yu'er. Can I speak correctly, your master?"

"Yes, master." Tang Yushui immediately expressed his opinion.

Fu Qingluan gave everyone a look: "Look!"

A few hippie smiles in Xiaowushan laughed, Min Qingxian gave them a look, they quickly corrected their attitude, Min Qingxian turned back with black lines all over his face, and didn't bother to talk to Fu Qingluan.

Later, Min Qingxian led the way, and the group reached the edge of a dense forest. He no longer let everyone go forward, but asked everyone to wait in place, and he went forward alone.

The trees in the dense forest are very tall, and you can see a layer of morning fog when you look deep into it, covering the distant scenery with mist, making it look hazy.

Min Qingxian walked into the dense forest alone with his clothes on his hem. He stopped at the edge after a few steps. He didn't seem to dare to walk around, but looked carefully for a while, then stood under a tree, and raised his hand On the tree trunk, he tapped three sections long and short according to a unique rhythm.

Then he lowered his hands and waited there.

The people in Xiaowushan found it strange, but they didn't make a sound after receiving Min Qingxian's instructions.

Xie Yu was driving the carriage with a calm expression on his face.

Fu Lin and Tang Yushui were lying on the window, watching curiously together.

Fu Qingluan leaned on the side, with a careless expression on his face, just glanced lightly, and the doorway here was already clear in his chest: the tree had obviously been written with a curse unique to the frontier.If someone rushes in rashly without knowing the situation, they may be attacked without knowing what kind.

This is something Shaomin passed down from generation to generation in order to protect himself. Although it is still mysterious, there is no need to pay special attention to it.Respect a bit of tradition, that is.

The sound of Min Qingxian knocking on the tree trunk was not obvious. After he knocked once, he waited for a while, and then knocked a second time. After a while, he did it again.After doing this three times, I heard a voice in the woods.

The voice came from the distant morning mist, and it seemed to be the sound of human footsteps in the dimness. Then, a lantern with a yellow halo appeared in the white mist. In the early morning of the day, it is reasonable to say that the candlelight in the daytime cannot be seen clearly, but the light of the lantern is extremely conspicuous against the fog.

As soon as the lantern appeared, it illuminated the surrounding several meters clearly. The mist seemed to be illuminated through, and it seemed to be driven away in an instant, and then the people behind the lantern appeared.

Wearing the costumes of ethnic minorities, but not particularly conspicuous, with a small amount of silver ornaments on their bodies, and a silver fringe on their hats, they were very neatly dressed. There were five of them, and they came out in a vertical row.

The first one with the lantern was a middle-aged man.

After reaching the tree, he stopped moving forward, but raised his voice: "Who knocked the signal?"

Min Qingxian took half a step forward and arrived politely: "A group of 22 of us passed by here and wanted to go to Guizhai to buy some supplies and have a rest overnight."

"Is there a token?"

Min Qingxian took out a wooden sign from his arms, and threw the sign over. He threw it skillfully, with moderate strength, and did not look abrupt. The middle-aged man raised his hand to catch it easily, looked down, then raised his eyes When he came, his face softened: "It turned out to be a guest of the caravan. The guest of the caravan is our guest. Please come in with me. But," said the middle-aged man, "it is not convenient for carriages and horses to enter, please leave them behind." Outside, we will arrange for care and guard."

Min Qingxian nodded, turned around and asked everyone to prepare, and brought important and needed supplies, leaving the rest on the donkey cart.

Fu Qingluan didn't have anything to take with him, he only carried the bank notes, held the pot with turtle shells in his left hand, and held the little apprentice's hand in his right hand, beside him, Xie Yu put a large and thick cloak on Fu Lin , put the hood on him tightly, and carried him on his back with ease.

Then, a few of them stood in the middle of Xiaowushan's team, and a few people from the village led by the middle-aged man separated two people from them to take over their carriage.

Before going in, Fu Qingluan saw Tang Yushui looking around curiously with his eyes wide open. He thought about it for a while, there was miasma in the fog, and the little apprentice was still young, so naturally he couldn't bear it, so he gave the little apprentice a rare and careful warning. : "Yu'er, you must follow the master this time, don't run around, this is not a joke, do you understand?"

Tang Yushui nodded obediently, and asked a question: "It's daytime, why are their lanterns so bright?"

After he finished asking, Fu Lin, who was lying on Xie Yu's back next to him, also tilted his head. Most of his face was covered by the hood, but now this tilt of his head only revealed a small half of his curious eyes.Seems interested too.

Fu Qingluan thought for a while, and he naturally knew the answer. This is also the tradition of the Shaomin to protect themselves. There are dense forests around the village, and miasma in the dense forest. The candles in the lanterns are miasma-repelling candles made of special materials. , so it will look bright, but Shaomin has always regarded this as an undisclosed secret. It is not good to arouse their hostility by saying it so easily. Besides, he does not know the formula of the candle.So, he laughed and said, "Because of the fog, it looks bright, haha."

As soon as he said this, even Xie Yu felt a little embarrassed, but they all gave him face and didn't ask him again.

Under the shroud of the lantern lights in front, the middle-aged people led the way, and passed through a long section of woods, and the front suddenly became clear.

In front of you is a village that covers a large area. The village is peaceful and peaceful. There are rows of bamboo buildings in the forest. There is no fog and miasma, but the light is very good. When you take a look, you can see many people gathered in one place. wide land.Judging by the situation, it seems to be trading.

"This is?" Min Qingxian asked modestly.

"It just so happened that you came to catch up with our half-monthly fair day."

"Weir day?" Tang Yushui looked up.

"The day of the fair is the day of going to the fair, and going to the fair means going to the market." Fu Qingluan explained generously. "Yu'er, do you want to go to the market later?" He said, looking at Xie Yudao meaningfully.
