Chapter 013

Yan Shi gently dug a medicinal material from the ground with a bamboo shovel, put it in the medicine basket behind him, wiped a handful of sweat from his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, we can go back just like a bone-piercing and a double-tailed scorpion?"

"It's just the same." Meng Xiang stared at a crack in a rock with his eyes tightly, and responded with a low voice.

"Really? Brother Meng, what have you discovered? Is it a bone-transparent nail or a two-tailed scorpion?" Yan Shi showed a big smile on his face, and he was about to approach Meng Xiang. Later, he seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped.

The bone-transparent nails and the two-tailed scorpion are both living creatures and are very alert. Once disturbed, they will immediately escape and get into trouble. It will be quite difficult to catch them again.

After about a cup of tea, Meng Xiang's right hand suddenly poked out, and two chopstick-like objects inserted into the cracks of the rock like lightning. When he was taken back, there was a big red centipede that looked like fire on the "chopsticks", which was six or seven inches long.

Yan Shi saw that Meng Xiang had succeeded, quickly grabbed him, stared at the clamped centipede, and said excitedly: "It's a bone-transparent nail! And it's a seven-year bone-transparent nail!"

In fact, bone-transparent nails are a kind of centipede, but they are more poisonous than ordinary centipedes and have greater efficacy. They can easily send some drugs to places that are difficult for the patient's body to reach. The effect of the two-tailed scorpion is basically similar to that of it. Their effect in hair-pulling and marrow-cleaning soup is to send the other thirty-four medicines into the depths of the body, so that every inch of the body, even the bones are nourished and strengthened.

Meng Xiang skillfully put the bone-permeable nails into the prepared bamboo tube, stuffed the plug, and shook his head: "A pot of hair plucking and marrow washing soup requires ten bone-permeable nails, and the two of us need two pots. Now we only grabbed one, and there are still nineteen left, so it's early."

"Brother Meng, you actually have to prepare a pot. As for me, I see..."

"What are you?" Meng Xiang glared at Yan Shi, "Are you afraid that I will harm you?"

"Brother Meng, I don't mean that, I..."

Meng Xiang saw Yan Shi a little anxious, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Shitou, you are so stupid! Do you take it seriously if I am joking with you? Okay, let's not joke anymore. Let's grab the remaining bone-transparent nails and the two-tailed scorpion faster and go back. I saw that it was about to rain. Once it rains, the medicinal materials will be wet and rotten, which will be troublesome."

Next, the two stopped talking and began to carefully search for traces of the bone-transparent nails and the two-tailed scorpion. Not to mention, they were lucky. When the sun was slightly west, they really caught all the remaining bone-transparent nails and the two-tailed scorpion.

The weather was also beautiful. Although it was about to fall, it was not until it was dark when Meng Xiang and Yan Shi returned home and it started to rain.

After dinner in a hurry, as soon as the rain stopped, Yan Shi carried a medicine basket and sent the medicinal materials that Mr. Li entrusted them to pick, while Meng Xiang stayed and began to arrange hair-pulling and marrow-cleaning soup according to the prescription.

Yan Shi went there for a short time and came back in a hurry. Obviously, he wanted to see what the so-called hair plucking and marrow-cleaning soup looked like.

The two of them were busy until midnight and finally made various medicinal materials as required. However, they also encountered a problem, that is, there was no container that could hold the medicinal soup. You should know that it should not only be able to carry the medicinal soup, but also be able to hold the next person. According to the instructions in the prescription, people should be soaked in the medicinal soup and absorb the medicinal effect.

Finally, Yan Shi thought of a solution and brought his two large water tanks over. He tried it, let alone it be, it was just right.

He put the prepared medicinal materials into two large jars, put them in water, then lit the mulberry branches that had been prepared long ago and started heating them. At the beginning, Yan Shi was able to talk and laugh with Meng Xiang. After a while, he began to doze off and was finally ordered by Meng Xiang to rest.

The next morning, Yan Shi opened his eyes and faintly smelled a strange fragrance from his nose. He followed the fragrance to an empty house and found that the two large jars containing hair-pulling and marrow-cleaning soup were emitting the fragrance. Meng Xiang was carefully controlling the heat.

Yan Shi rubbed his eyes: "Brother Meng, is the medicine soup almost enough?

"It will be used in half an hour." Meng Xiang was adjusting the fire under the large tank and did not look up.

"Yeah." Yan Shi nodded and did not prepare breakfast. According to the instructions in the prescription, it is necessary to take an empty stomach to soak the hair and pulp and marrow washing soup. If you eat, the effect will be poor.

He turned around the two large tanks twice, and Yan Shi's eyes suddenly widened, and pointed to the top of the large tank and asked in surprise: "Brother Meng, why is there blue fog on this...?"

Meng Xiang put down the mulberry branches, stood up, glanced at Yan Shi with annoyance, and said lightly: "The blue fog is just blue fog, what's so strange about it?"

Although he didn't care, he was also confused, but he asked himself that he was following the prescription completely and there should be no problems.

It took half an hour to pass soon. When it came to the big tank, it might be because of the blue mist floating at the mouth of the tank. Although Yan Shi wanted to test the effect of the medicine first, he still felt a little frustrated when it came to the end.

Meng Xiang didn't think about letting Yan Shi go down first, after all, the prescription was his. He glanced at Yan Shi and said in a deep voice: "Shitou, you know the heat, I'll go down and try it first."

"Brother Meng, is this really okay? Should I remove the heat first and wait for the medicine soup to cool down before entering." Yan Shi asked actually a question that Meng Xiang was worried about. However, he finally decided to follow the prescription instructions to continue while the medicine soup was boiling, and always maintain a heating state during the entire medicine bath.

Meng Xiang took off his clothes and left only a pair of shorts. After thinking about it, he stepped on a simple ladder on the entrance of the large tank and came to the entrance of the tank. After hesitating for a moment, he jumped directly into the tank. He had experience that if he could not jump in in the water in winter, he would not be able to go down at all.

"Yeah!" Although he was mentally prepared, Meng Xiang couldn't help but groan. For a moment, he had an illusion that he seemed to have jumped into the boiling oil pan and his skin had been scalded.

"Persist! You must persist! You want to become a big shot, how can you be conquered by this little pain?" Under the self-hypnotic psychological suggestion, he bit his back teeth and endured the initial pain.

Just as he slowly adapted, greater pain followed, and the scorching heat outside his body soon drilled into his body from his pores, turning into fire snakes, running around everywhere, muscles, bones, internal organs... everywhere. He seemed to have an illusion, as if he heard the hissing of barbecue in his body.

Compared with the pain outside the body, the pain inside the body is undoubtedly even more unbearable. Meng Xiang's face turned purple, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out like small snakes. The muscles on his cheeks jumped and his teeth blew, and his whole body seemed to have malaria, trembling constantly. The ink-like medicine in the large tank was stirred up layer by layer.

The human body's tolerance is extremely powerful. After enduring the initial pain of the fire snake drilling into the body, he gradually became less uncomfortable. But what he didn't expect was that a greater test was still waiting for him.

Suddenly, without giving Meng Xiang a slight preparation time, the third wave of pain came without warning. It was an itch that was even more unbearable than pain. It seemed that millions of ants appeared in the body, crawling and gnawing, which was itchy, numb and painful, and it started from the depths of the internal organs and bone marrow, and it couldn't be scratched even if you wanted to.

In less than a cup of tea, Meng Xiang could not help it. All psychological hints and attention shifts were not working. The pain he was suffering now was the accumulation of all the pain he had since he started to sit in the big tank to the present.

Dongdong, Meng Xiang hit the big tank with his head, but he was still a little rational and did not jump out of the big tank, because he knew that as long as he got out of the big tank, the pain would be relieved immediately, but the pain he had suffered before would be in vain.

Yan Shi suddenly panicked when he saw this happening and called in Meng Xiang's ears anxiously. Seeing that he was not listening to his call, he first wanted to drag him out of the big tank, and then thought of removing the mulberry branches from the big tank. However, when he thought of Meng Xiang's instructions to him before entering the big tank, he would not disturb him no matter what situation he encountered, he finally chose to listen to him.

He wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, rolled Meng Xiang's clothes into a roll, and placed them on the place where Meng Xiang's head hit, preventing his head from breaking on the large tank.

I don’t know how long it took, but Meng Xiang felt that ten thousand years had passed, all the pain on his body began to slowly weaken, and the color of the medicine soup became transparent. However, his whole body was sore, numb, swelling and painful, and his body became weak. If he hadn’t helped him out, he wouldn’t even be able to climb out of the big tank.

Yan Shi took out a clean and soft white cloth, gently wiped away the water marks on him, put on a soft underwear, and helped him lie down on the bed. After a while, he closed his eyes and made a thunderous snoring.

When he woke up, Meng Xiang jumped off the bed, moved his body for a while, and a crisp sound like a thunderous bean was heard inside. He seemed to have endless strength in his body, as if there was a mountain in front of him, and he could lift it up. In addition, he himself didn't know that his height had also increased a lot, as much as two inches.

Yan Shi heard the noise and hurried into the room. Seeing that Meng Xiang was fine, he was still extremely happy, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Meng, why? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Of course not. I feel that my body has never been so good. If you don't believe me, look." As he said that, Meng Xiang tried to swing a few punches and made a whirring sound of wind.

The effect seemed a little beyond his expectations. Meng Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The old man said nothing. Only by enduring hardships can he be the best. Although the hair plucking and marrow washing soup makes people feel uncomfortable, the effect is unspeakable."

As he said that, Meng Xiang turned his head to Yan Shi and said seriously: "Shitou, for your own good, no matter how painful this process is, you must soak in hair plucking and marrow washing soup.
