Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 19 Departure
(4)

Zhao Kuo and the woman shuttled through the jungle, and after half a stick of incense, they finally returned to the place where Murong Yan was injured.Seeing that the alien woman beside her was still sobbing, Zhao Kuo hurriedly said, "Don't cry! Hurry up and find a way to save people!" Bai Feng, who was beside him, was very puzzled when he saw this situation.

Then, the woman replied: "I can't save her, only my grandma has the antidote. Come with me, if you don't get the antidote within an hour, you'll be out of luck..."

The other four had to follow behind her and move forward cautiously.Where are you taking us?What happened to this woman and Zhao Kuo?Bai Feng carried the unconscious Murong Yan on his back and said to Zhao Kuo with these questions: "Brother Zhao, what happened to you and that woman just now?"

"I...I hit her..." Zhao Kuo knew that bullying a weak woman was not an upright thing, so he replied ashamedly: "Because she threw our token off the cliff..."

"This..." Bai Feng looked puzzled, looking at the woman leading the way.

"What! My Miao family can make a token like that, how can I bully a girl because of that kind of thing!" The Miao girl who was walking in front complained with a little weeping.

"Girl... What's your name?" Zhao Kuo asked cautiously, fearing that Miao Nu would suddenly change her mind and feel apologetic.

"You call me Ajuan!"

"Then... Miss Ajuan, you are just impulsive at the next moment, please don't take it to heart..."

"I'll help you save people, but you owe another bill!"

After half a moment, everyone walked to a thatched hut in a dense forest.The wooden fence has a circle from the outside of the house, and the circle is full of various plants besides the hut.Some are common herbs, while others are poisonous weeds that ordinary people have never heard of.After entering the door, a small, aged woman with an Aoki cane thicker than her arm in her left hand caught everyone's eyes.When Ajuan saw her, she immediately dispelled her arrogance and became more respectful.

"Ajuan, what happened again?" the old woman asked slowly.

"Grandma! I didn't let Hong'er out this time, it slipped out on its own." Ajuan replied coquettishly, "I ran into someone when I was singing to bring Hong'er back to me, and then... ...it bit people..."

The old woman sighed, looked at Ajuan beside her angrily, and ordered, "You, go to the door and kneel first." After saying this, Ajuan reluctantly walked to the door and knelt there, entwining her hands. Together, it feels like a well-behaved little girl waiting to be punished.At the same time, the old woman said to the boy with a weapon in front of him, "Young master, put that girl on the bed first..."

Bai Feng followed the instructions and placed Murong Yan on the green bamboo bed covered only by the straw mat.Everyone watched the old woman call the patient's pulse, and saw that she suddenly widened her deep eyes, as if she knew something.Then, she skillfully waved acupuncture points and began to treat Murong Yan.After about a stick of incense, the old woman took the medical needle back to its original place and asked Bai Feng seriously, "Young Master, when did this girl get poisoned?"

"It's been an hour." Bai Feng replied.

"This is strange." The old woman said, "In ordinary people, the snake venom cannot be treated within half an hour, and the toxin should have spread long ago. But this girl not only did not spread, but suppressed most of the poison. She is now unconscious. , it's just because the wound is too painful..."

Looking at the unconscious Murong Yan, Bai Feng had more questions about her, and couldn't help but sigh, "What the hell is going on?"

"The girl is not very personable, and I have no way of knowing the rest." The old woman replied.After finishing speaking, the old woman walked towards Ajuan with a cane and asked, "Ajuan, do you know what's wrong?"

"I... What's wrong with me? This time is obviously an accident..." As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman waved the crutch in her hand and hit Ajuan's thigh, she whimpered in pain: "Grandma, stop hitting! It hurts! kill me!"

"Your mistake is that you are raising poisonous snakes before you have practiced the anti-poison technique!" After that, the old woman used the wooden crutch to hit Ajuan's buttocks. Even if Ajuan's body trembled involuntarily, she did not dare to Stand up by this.The old woman went on to say, "You're almost twenty, and you're still so immature. How does your mother usually teach you..."

Seeing this, Xiaomei Zhao on the side was secretly glad that she had never been beaten like this, but her brother's heart was a different story.

Suddenly, Zhao Kuoer stepped forward and knelt down in front of Ajuan's eyes, facing the old woman, and stopped him: "Senior, please let me be punished instead of Ajuan! This is what I owe Ajuan!"

Poor Ajuan saw a tall and sturdy man standing in front of her, and felt a secret feeling in her heart, but before she got permission, she could only kneel on the spot and stare at the black thorn eyes to watch the follow-up of the situation. develop.

"Okay! I also found a wild boy to help!" The old woman looked at Zhao Kuo with a hint of approval in her anger, and said, "See if you can take my stick! Hey!" With all his strength, he struck the blow on Zhao Kuo's back.Zhao Kuo had already tightened his muscles and prepared to take on this attack. Because he had never practiced martial arts, he still suffered.This blow kept him lying on the ground with a dry cough, but Zhao Kuo didn't complain, but cried out in pain.

Seeing her brother lying on the ground, Zhao Xiaomei went up to care and said, "Brother, are you alright?"

"I can't stand it with just one stick, what kind of hero does the scholar act like?" After the old woman finished speaking, she was ready to hit Zhao Kuo with a second blow.

When the crutches were about to hit Zhao Kuo, Ajuan protected Zhao Kuo with her own body and cried repeatedly: "Grandma, I know I'm wrong! I know I'm wrong! I shouldn't be playful and raise some kind of poisonous snake... …”

The old woman retracted her crutches and said with relief, "Aju, get up and help this young man to heal his wounds."

Aju obediently obeyed her grandmother's arrangement, and together with Xiaomei Zhao, helped Zhao Kuo to the side for treatment.And the old woman turned to Bai Feng and Murong Yan, and said apologetically, "Young chivalrous man, I will take the place of my useless granddaughter and accompany you and this girl."

"Senior, please get up quickly." Before the old woman saluted, Bai Feng stopped him and said, "Since everyone is fine, then there is no need to worry about it."

"Rong Laoshen to ask one more question, why did you come to this Qianfengling?"

"We just passed through this place, and the access token we carried on our body was accidentally lost. I wonder if the seniors know how to get out of the mountain?"

"Oh, it's true." The old woman said earnestly: "The Miao people in Qianfengling did not welcome outsiders at first, but due to the lack of materials, they gradually allowed outside businessmen to enter and leave. It is difficult for ordinary people to come in. out."

"Then...is there any other way?"

"Tomorrow, I will ask Ajuan to take you to see the patriarch, and we will talk about it later. We must find a place to rest now, and Ajuan will take you to Qianfeng Town..."

On the other side, Ajuan and others, who were dealing with the injury, were giving Zhao Kuo medicine.I saw that Zhao Kuo had taken off his shirt, revealing his strong back to Ajuan, and there was a long bruise on his back.While Ajuan was applying the medicine, she secretly blamed her grandmother for overdoing it.

Zhao Kuo endured the severe pain and said to Ajuan behind him, "Miss Ajuan, have I paid off the debt I owe you?"

Ajuan did not expect that the man in front of her actually took her words to heart, so she replied, "No! Now that I give you medicine, you owe me another sum!"

"Haha." Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "How can you be so rascal."

The little girl sandwiched between the two suddenly felt that she should not be here at this time, and she felt ashamed, so she secretly ran to the medicine field outside.He secretly complained: "Everyone has company, but I have nothing..."

After Murong Yan woke up a little, Bai Feng carried her back to the horse and set off for Qianfeng Town.In the meantime, Bai Feng led the horse that Murong Yan was riding, while Ajuan led the way on Bai Feng's horse.After a few people introduced each other, it was considered a bond, and Ajuan began to introduce the source of Qianfeng Town to everyone.It turned out that Qianfeng Town was built by the Han people who escaped the war and came to Qianfengling. Most of the Han people in it were rich businessmen, former officials, farmers, and people who had escaped from the world because of the war.Because these people promised not to go out of Qianfengling, and the establishment of a town is beneficial to the supply of materials, so the local Miao people will agree to the relocation of the Han people.

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo asked: "In other words, if you come in, you can't go out?"

"Usually it's like this." Ajuan replied, "But you are different."

"Oh?" Zhao Kuo wondered.

"Because you know this girl, and my mother is the patriarch of the local Miao people!"

"Oh!" Several people said in unison, only Zhao Xiaomei was left outside, wondering what was going on...
