Qinghe Pastoral

Chapter 16 Looking for Life-saving Grass in Dayan Mountain

The next day, Lin Mu woke up in Ji Ruixiu's arms. The two fell asleep together for the first time, and they didn't feel embarrassed at all. They just felt extremely satisfied and at ease.

Today's sky is gloomy, and Dayan Mountain is shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly.

In the second half of the night, thunder and lightning and heavy rain poured down. Xu Xiuqin woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep anymore. She got up early and didn't ask too much when she saw that Ji Ruixiu was staying overnight.

Because of Liu Liping's incident, they lost their appetites, so they went to his house again after eating something casually.

At night, Liu Liping developed a high fever. After two doses of medicine and several injections, the fever was barely subsided.

Yu Ziyi meant that such procrastination is not a problem after all, the medicine can be poured down, but if only soup and water are used, within a few days, the body will become weaker and weaker.But without blood-dissolving grass, this prescription is also a common prescription for dispelling blood stasis, Liu Liping's current situation, I'm afraid it won't have much effect.

"I am a doctor in the countryside, and I have limited knowledge. If it weren't for Mr. Yu, I might never know that there are such rare medicinal materials in the world. I thought about it last night. 26 years ago, Zhou Zhen brought it from Dayan Mountain. One of the things that came back is very similar to the one painted by Mr. Yu. It was because it looked special back then, and no one in the village knew what it was, so I can only remember its appearance after so many years."

Liu Tang was not sure whether Zhou Zhen brought back blood-transforming grass, but he had a very strong premonition in his heart that maybe all his hopes could only be placed on Dayan Mountain, which had raised Qinghe Village for a hundred years.Liu Tang knows that Dayan Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, and the hinterland is extremely dangerous. Finding this blood-transforming grass is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but even if he wants to stay in Dayan Mountain, he still has to make this trip.

Liu Tang stood up, bowed deeply to Yu Ziyi, looked at the haggard Lin Yue, and couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't know if he could return safely, but if he didn't go, he could only wait for his son to get better and better. Weak, so, he had to go.

"Young Master Yu, I have decided to go to Dayan Mountain. If I fail to come back after three days, please use the method Ruixiu mentioned. Whether it succeeds or fails is my son's fate."

Liu Tang's tone was decisive, and his face was full of grief.

Dayan Mountain is extremely dangerous. Liu Tang got married late, and he is in his forties this year. He has practiced medicine all his life, and his physical skills are not even comparable to Orion. How can he go to Dayan Mountain?As soon as this remark came out, it naturally attracted a lot of opposition.

"No, I don't agree. Ping'er is unconscious. If something happens to you again, how will I live? If you want to go, kill me first, woo woo woo."

Lin Yue was extremely excited, and she almost passed out from crying again. The women present couldn't help sobbing.

Seeing his wife's appearance, Liu Tang couldn't bear it. Thinking of his son and his wife, he was in a dilemma. He lived most of his life, and he never felt incompetent like he does now.

"I'll go, I'll go, Uncle Liu, give me the painting."

Lin Quan grabbed Liu Tang's sleeve excitedly as if grabbing a life-saving straw.Since entering Liu Tang's house yesterday, he hasn't left. His elderly mother cried and begged him but he refused to go back.

Liu Tang was grateful for Lin Quan's kindness to his son, but the two had no direct relationship, and he wondered if he could come back safely after this trip.He shook his head and rejected Lin Quan's request.

For a while, the scene fell silent again. Ji Ruixiu glanced at Lin Mu who couldn't hide his grief beside him, and thought about it in his heart.

"Uncle, how about this? Let's divide into three groups, one group to Yong'an Island, the other group to Jing'an County, and search for pharmacies in the two places. After a while, you take me to Uncle Zhou to find some clues from the past. I will go up the mountain and wait three days. For a while, if we can’t find it, we’ll study it again to see if we can follow the example of Great Britain’s craniotomy.”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent. Lin Mu realized what Ji Ruixiu said, and his first thought was not to agree, but before he had time to refute, Ji Ruixiu patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Trust me, I have Kungfu is in the body, and you can retreat from the whole body."

Lin Mu naturally knew that Ji Ruixiu had learned both civil and martial arts since he was a child, but no one knew what was in the hinterland of Dayan Mountain, so how could he rest assured?

"You don't have to worry, I will come back safely."

Ji Ruixiu's words seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts. Lin Yue was grateful in her heart, a friend in adversity saw the truth, but she would also worry, if something happened to Ji Ruixiu, how could he be worthy of Lin Mu?

"I'll go with you too, Master Ji, I'll go with you."

Lin Quan's father died early, and his old mother was in poor health. When he was seven or eight years old, he went to Dayan Mountain alone. He knew the middle and periphery of Dayan Mountain very well.Later, I learned some skills from the old Orion in the village, and life gradually became easier.

"Everyone, you may not know about my Brother Ji's abilities. Unless there are some unknown spirits in Dayan Mountain, how can ordinary beasts take advantage of my Brother Ji?"

Xiao Jue said it confidently, among the people present, only he knew Ji Ruixiu's ability.Back then, he was able to save himself from the pirates by himself, but now, unless there are spirits in Dayan Mountain, how can those ordinary beasts defeat him?

Lin Mu was still uneasy, but Ji Ruixiu had already made a decision, and with Xiao Jue's guarantee, Lin Mu looked at Liu Tang and Lin Yue, thinking of all the kindness they had done to him over the years, this might be the last hope, he He can only trust his lover.

Lin Mu had already nodded in agreement, and it was even more impossible for others to persuade Ji Ruixiu.

After discussing for a long time, there are many rich and powerful people in Yonganzhou, so Lin Zian took Xiao Jue and a few young people there.Jing'an County is close to the village, so Lin Xue led people there.

Most of the people present understood that this trip was mostly in vain. The owner of such a precious thing must be powerful, so how could they give it up?It's just a consolation.

Ji Ruixiu doesn't think he is a chivalrous person, he is willing to go up the mountain, he should thank Lin Yue's family for their love for Lin Mu over the years.

Zhou Zhen's family is in the east of the village, and they live in the best green brick and tile house in the village. All this is due to the fact that he went to Dayan Mountain back then. Although he lost an arm, it is also a blessing for them to have a good life today. It was a blessing in disguise.

When Ji Ruixiu and the others came, Zhou Zhen's family was having breakfast. Everyone in the village knew about Liu Liping. People in a village may be relatives for five generations. Besides, Liu Tang is a doctor in the village, and the villagers respect him. .Seeing a group of people coming, Zhou Zhen's eldest son hurriedly ushered them into the house.

Zhou Zhen is three years younger than Liu Tang. He is short and not strong.But it is such a person who went to the hinterland of Dayan Mountain alone and came back alive. People admired his courage and secretly lamented his good luck.

Liu Tang explained his purpose and showed Zhou Zhen the painting.

Back then, it was a precious orchid that changed the situation of Zhou Zhen's family. Recalling this past event, Zhou Zhen still has lingering fears.As for the Huaxuecao, because of its strange appearance, he had never seen it before. Even though he didn't sell it for a big price back then, he still remembered its appearance.

"That's right, this is the thing I picked back then. When I was avoiding a leopard, I accidentally came across a cave, and it grew in that cave. The cave should be in the southeast of the village, passing through a There is a big waterfall in the pine forest, and there is a cave next to the waterfall."

Zhou Zhen's words confirmed Liu Tang's guess, pointed out the general direction for them, and also made it clear that he didn't meet any monsters back then, but the fierce beasts in the hinterland of Dayan Mountain were not only more violent, but also extremely tall .

Coming out of Zhou Zhen's house, they were more confident about their trip to Dayan Mountain, and they didn't delay for too long. After making some preparations, they gradually disappeared under the worried and expectant eyes of everyone.

Lin Mu looked at the back of Ji Ruixiu going away, feeling extremely worried. He really wanted to go with Ji Ruixiu, but he could only stay where he was and pray for him, hoping for his return.

Lin Mu was absent-minded throughout the day, not only Lin Mu, Xiao Jue's words reassured everyone to a certain extent, but most people still worried too much about their going deep into Dayan Mountain.

Yu Ziyi and Liu Tang are still researching, especially the method that Ji Ruixiu mentioned - craniotomy. They didn't expect such a way to save people in a distant country. They were shocked when they first heard it.

But they still prayed that Ji Ruixiu and the others could bring back the Blood Transforming Grass, after all, they had never tried such a method as craniotomy.

Ji Ruixiu and the two walked along the southeast all afternoon, and finally saw a dense pine forest when night fell.Just half an hour ago, they encountered a herd of wild boars. As Zhou Zhen said, these wild boars were tall and very ferocious.In the process of fighting with wild boars, Lin Quan's left face was scratched by a branch, making him look extremely ferocious.

When Lin Quan saw the pine forest, he couldn't hold back his excitement, which meant that Zhou Zhen's words were right, and they were getting closer to the blood-flowering grass.The two of them did not stop, and continued to move forward. At this time, the night was getting darker, and it was the time when the ferocious beasts were active.

Not long after, there was a howl of wolves not far away, wolves, how many hunters' nightmares?They didn't know how far the cave was from them. Obviously, it was not suitable to venture forward at this time. The two found a place, lit a fire and rested, planning to set off again at dawn.

However, the sound of howling wolves was getting closer and closer. Obviously, they had been targeted.The two stood up, holding torches in their hands, wary of wolves that might come from nowhere.

Lin Quan's whole body tensed up, and he could feel his heart beating differently than usual. Not long ago, he had seen the ferocity of the beasts here, and if it wasn't for Ji Ruixiu, he would never have been able to escape.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Zhou Zhen's good luck back then.Just as he was thinking wildly, he heard a whistling sound in his ear, an arrow feather passed by his eyes, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground and howling sounded at the same time, he turned around and saw a brown wolf lying down not far from him place, killed by one arrow.

Around them, a dozen or so wolves were staring at them, and their glowing green eyes were particularly piercing at night, Lin Quan couldn't help shivering.

They are afraid of fire, they have been spinning back and forth in situ, just waiting for an opportunity to swallow the two of them into their stomachs.

But Ji Ruixiu's eyes were fixed on the red wolf standing on a high rock. Over the years, he had traveled to many places and seen many strange people and strange things, but this was the first time he had seen the red wolf.

I saw that the wolf was nearly seven feet long, and its red fur looked very soft and shiny under the moonlight.

He concentrated his mind, took aim, and the arrow feather flew out and shot straight at the red wolf. The red wolf was extremely sensitive, jumped up, barely dodged Ji Ruixiu's arrow, and this move was tantamount to annoyed When it was caught, it roared towards the sky, and the pack of wolves no longer hesitated, and attacked it together.

The two moved quickly, shooting arrows one by one, Ji Ruixiu jumped up, pulled out a scimitar inlaid with rubies, and went straight to the red wolf.

Under the moonlight, the silhouettes of a man and a wolf staggered back and forth. The red wolf was alert, but in the end he was no match for Ji Ruixiu. The scimitar pierced straight into the red wolf's neck, and the red wolf twitched a few times before falling to the ground.The wolves suffered heavy losses, and the head wolf had already died, so the rest scattered and fled.

Except for a little injury to his arm, Lin Quan was fine. The wound was treated a little bit, and some medicine was applied, and the two of them rested around the fire.

This night, there were no other accidents, and the two continued on their way early in the morning the next day. At noon, Ji Ruixiu heard the sound of water flowing, and thought of the waterfall Zhou Zhen had mentioned, and the two followed the sound.When the rushing waterfall appeared in front of their eyes, they were all overjoyed. Lin Quan ran over impatiently and found the cave that Zhou Zhen had mentioned.

The entrance of the karst cave is narrow, wet and slippery. Both of them are very careful. The further they go in, the wider it becomes. At the end there is a pool of spring water. The spring water is cold. On the rock wall facing the spring water, purple stems and leaves, The blood-red flowers were exactly the blood-transforming grass they were looking for.

Ji Ruixiu jumped up, gently picked off the life-saving herb, wrapped it in a white cloth, and put it in his arms.

Seeing Lin Quan's eyes turned red with excitement, Ji Ruixiu patted him on the shoulder, Liu Liping was in danger, the two didn't stay for a moment, they just wanted to go back to the village early.
