"That"s good," Lu Xiufeng said. "I"m just a little worried."
"Don"t worry, as long as I"m here, he will be safe." Miao Xihe said. His tone was very calm, but Lu Xiufeng could hear the absolute confidence in the words.
"Thank you."
"You"re welcome. This is what we should do. It was our fault that harm befell our guests from afar. This really should not have happened." Miao Xihe turned his head and said to Miao Qingfeng.
"Qingfeng, you should be punished!"
"Yes, Chief."
"Ah, Chief Miao, we were the ones who wanted to go hunting in the forest," Lu Xiufeng hurriedly said. "It was an accident. It has nothing to do with Brother Miao."
"Even if you wanted to go hunting in the forest, it was his negligence in taking care of you that caused you guys to get hurt," Miao Xihe said. "His skills are not refined."
"Yes," Miao Qingfeng said with his head bowed.
"This is the rule in the stockade," Miao Xihe said.
"This..."
Upon hearing Miao Xihe say that, Lu Xiufeng felt a bit embarra.s.sed.
"Alright, keep taking care of Captain Yang and the others," Miao Xihe said.
The left Miao Xihe"s wooden house.
"I"m really sorry, Brother," Lu Xiufeng said. "I didn"t expect such a thing to happen."
"It"s alright. Don"t take it to heart," Miao Qingfeng said.
"About that, just now Chief Miao said that he would punish you," Lu Xiufeng said. "According to the rules in the stockade, how will you be punished?"
"It"s nothing. It"s a small case." Miao Qingfeng waved his hands in the air as he smiled.
"Tell me about it." Lu Xiufeng lit a cigarette and insisted on hearing about it.
"According to the rules of the stockade, I"ll get hit with a stick 30 times," Miao Qingfeng said.
"Get hit with a stick?" Lu Xiufeng was stunned. "It"s not like you"re going to get hit with a huge piece of wood like on TV, are you?"
That kind of scene often appeared in period movies and TV dramas. A person would be dragged out and hit with a huge plank 20 times.
"That"s right. It"s like that," Miao Qingfeng said with a smile.
"d.a.m.n it. Do you guys have a private penalty hall? It"s against the law."
"What is against the law, Captain Lu?" Miao Qingfeng asked. "Don"t mind me saying something not pleasant. These rules have been around for hundreds of years. People in our stockade think that these rules are the law. Over the years, the people in the stockade have been following the law, which is more binding than the law that you guys have outside."
Lu Xiufeng was stunned.
"Let"s go back and see how Captain Yang is doing."
When they went back in, they found that Yang Guanfeng had already stood up and was walking slowly in the room.
"Hey, why are you standing up?" Lu Xiufeng anxiously asked upon seeing the situation. "Lie down and rest! Hurry!"
"It"s fine, I"m feeling much better, my head is not so dizzy,just a bit nauseous.Since it is more serious when I was just lying down, I think it"s better to get up and move around." Yang Guanfeng said.
"This bit of poison wasn"t even considered as a poison in the eyes of the clan leader." Miao Qingfeng said. "He said the poison will last two days, and after those two days, Captain Yang will be recovered as before, and probably even more physically fit."
"Really, there"s still this benefit to being poisoned?"
"That"s because the medicine used by the clan leader is very miraculous, besides being able to detoxify the poison, it can also consolidate the corporeity and enhance the health of poisoned people , and the villagers in our village fortress have researched the poison nearby, the sort of Red Headed Centipede is a bit strange, and most of the people in our village fortress who have been bitten by it, have become better after recovering." Miao Qingfeng said.
"Really? So amazing, it makes me want to be bitten by that centipede." Lu Xiufeng.
"Oh, that bit of enhancement is actually limited, it"s better not to have it." Miao Qingfeng smiled.
"It"s good that it"s fine, it"s good that it"s fine."
Miao Qingfeng took his leave after sitting in the cabin for a while.
"How are you feeling? Tell the truth." After the other party left, Lu Xiufeng squared off.
"It"s fine, it"s really much better than when we were just on the mountain." Yang Guanfeng said.
"My head is still a bit dizzy, my stomach is bloated, and I"m nauseous and want to vomit."
"It"s just that this poisoning is a bit of a coincidence!" He sighed.
"Well, it"s quite a coincidence." Lu Xiufeng said.
It was a coincidence that they were actually bitten by that Red Headed Centipede just as they continued onward, trying to get up that mountain, not too soon, not too late, just in time to hinder their further investigation.
"Do you think it could have been that Miao Qingfeng who made it on purpose to stop us?" Lu Xiu Feng said.
"We can"t rule out that possibility, but of course there"s another possibility, there"s a large amount of this poisonous substance near there, sort of a defense for them, as long as strange intruders intrude, they will be attacked." Yang Guanfeng said.
The two of them can be basically ensure, they encountered in the forest of the mountain just now had some problems, since they indeed smelt the stench of the corpse. As two old Interpol, they were very familiar with the smell and extraordinarily sensitive with it, so there must be some corpses on the mountain. But it was still unclear about how did they die and whether it was because of the "experiments"? .
"I think that even if you"re recovered, they"ll do everything they can to hinder us from entering the mountain." Lu Xiufeng said.
"Right, maybe we"ll meet other accident when we get closer next time ."
"What should I do then?"
"Let"s wait and see if there"s any news from that one."
Thousands of miles away, an ordinary household in Lianshan County.
"Old man, where are you going?"
"To Pan"s."
"Go there for what?"
"Buy medicine." The old man.
"Buy medicine, and where"s the discomfort?" The old man listened with anxious concern.
"No discomfort,actually I am very comfortable, I am just feeling that medicine is almost finished,so I want go out and buy a bottle in." The old man said.
"What kind of medicine?"
"Primordial Spirit Soup, the kind produced in the county." The sixty-something man responded.
"Does that medicine work?"
"It works, I"ve been drinking this for two days and I feel warmer and have some strength, much better than before I drank the medicine." The old man said.
"But there is still a small half bottle of it."
"I want to buy the two bottles more." The old man smiled.
In fact, originally he took the medicine partly because of a fit of pique, so he was unwilling to follow his son" word. Didn"t you say this medicine does not work? I"ll take it then. Didn you want me to go the big hospital outside to check it out? Well, I will not go. Sometimes when people in their old age, they will show the behavior like this since they have child-like tempers, or how to say "young adult"?
But he didn"t expect that after two days of drinking, the medicine actually worked, he could clearly feel the changes that happened to his body,it became more spirited and stronger.
"Well,then. Take care!"
"Got it."
The old man got dressed, going out the door and down the stairs. The Renhe clinic was not far from where he lived.
"Little Pan."
"Uncle, you"re here, how can I help you?" Pan Mei smiled and asked.
"I want to get some medicine."
"Get some medicine? What"s wrong with you?"
"Actually I don"t feel sick, it"s just because that there is only a little regather soup which I got from here last time produced by the county, so l come there to buy two more bottles." The old man said.
"Oh, that kind of medicine, you wait a moment." Pan Mei brought him two more bottles.
"Is this medicine useful for you to drink?"
"It works, it works well." The old man.
"Oh, that"s good." Pan Mei smiled after hearing that.
She had heard the history of this medicine mentioned by her own brother, the prescription of the medicine was provided by w.a.n.g Yao, and then produced by the newly built pharmaceutical factory in the county, it was considered as a new medicine. Up to now,in the entire Lianshan County,it was only sold in their clinic and the price was neither expensive nor cheap. This old man was the first patient to use this medicine. Hearing the old man said that this medicine was effective, she was also very happy.
"Here you go."
"Alright, give the money." The old man cheerfully said.
"I didn"t expect that our county"s own production isn"t bad either." The old man.
"Yes, so you"ll have to advertise it if you use it well?"
"Sure, sure." The old man smiled.
Dozens of miles away, in a mountain village.
In a small courtyard, Jia Zizai and Zhong Liuchuan were sitting opposite each other, fighting over the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of them inextricably
"Da*n, I haven"t expect that your chess skills are so impressive! senior" Jia Zizai think for a long time and moved in chess.
"I really don"t understand why do you play gobang in stead of go." Zhong Liuchuan smiled.
"Hey, senior brother, don"t look down on gobang since it contains plenty of knowledge, didn"t the master once say that sometimes the simpler things are, the less likely they will be proficient."
Zhong Liuchuan silenced after hearing this. The junior brother in front of him was learning this learn gobang which is easy to learned purely because his go skills were too really poor.
"You lose." Zhong Liuchuan landed his piece, four pieces in a line, two heads of invincible pieces.
"Tsk! tsk! tsk! senior brother, you"re making me so regretful!" Jia Zizai said.
"I have never won you even one time, could it be that a deeper practice can also promote intellectual development?" That words Jia Zizai had said more than once.
"It might really work." Zhong Liuchuan smiled after hearing that.
"Really?"
"Haven"t you noticed that your mind has become even more quick since you"ve been training with master, and your memory has significantly improved." Zhong Liuchuan.
"Really? I haven"t paid attention to that aspect." Jia Zizai said.
"I"ve paid attention." Zhong Liuchuan smiled.
The reason he was paying attention was because he had practiced and stepped into the right path early, so he read the scriptures early too. In fact ,some of the original texts of the scriptures were exactly mouthful, and he also felt a bit awkward when he first read them, but he found those scriptures became smoother and smoother with his deepened practice, and they were very easily fixed in his mind, even if they were unfamiliar. Then he tried other articles, and I found his memory was really strengthened a lot, though it was hardly photographic, it was indeed stronger.
"The body has become stronger, the memory has strengthened too, meanwhile it is also able to prolong life, wow, don"t you think what the master taught us is the method of longevity?" Jia Zizai smiled.
"Although we can"t expect immortality, I estimate that it"s definitely easy to live a hundred years without illness or disaster with such cultivation." Zhong Liuchuan said.
