You put the Cordyceps sinensis away first. If they dare to break in, I will help you block it. Chen Xuan said, walking towards the medicine basket on the table in the room.
Seeing this, Xiaolian hurriedly followed, trying to get the medicine basket.
But Chen Xuan was faster. He grabbed the medicine basket and opened it. It turned out that there was not just one Cordyceps sinensis inside, but as the leading medicine farmer from Baicaomen said, there were a total of twenty.
Xiaolian, didn’t you say there was only one tree?
Brother Chen, I'm sorry, Xiaolian said with tears in her eyes, because I was afraid of you at that time, and I was afraid that you would also want to steal my Cordyceps sinensis, so I kept it to a minimum and only dared to mention one tree.
I see.
Chen Xuan finally understood why Xiaolian was so nervous at that time.
Twenty Cordyceps sinensis plants are sold, and the price they can fetch is not a small sum.
Xiaolian was born in poverty, and these twenty cordyceps plants were simply more important to her than her life.
From another perspective, if Xiaolian only had one Cordyceps sinensis plant, how could the Baicaomen, as an ancient Chinese medicine sect, come to Dujiang Village just for a single herb?
At this moment, a pharmacist came from outside the room asking if there was anyone inside.
No more, no more. This is Aunt Jane's voice.
Then Uncle Yuan also said: There are only two of us in our family and we have no children. If you don’t believe me, ask the village chief.
Seeing that Uncle Yuan didn't look like he was lying, several drug farmers hesitated and left.
Xiao Lian in the room secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xuan saw something in her hand and didn't know what it was, so he immediately asked what is that in her hand?
This is a self-defense spray made by our village. It is made from the corpse of a kind of insect. Grind the corpse of the insect and spray it with mixed water, which will temporarily blind the opponent.
Chen Xuan said oh, feeling that the medicine farmer should have gone far away, so he opened the room and walked out with Xiaolian.
Brother Chen, let's go outside and take a look.
After the drug farmer's search, Xiaolian became more courageous.
Chen Xuan nodded, walked out with Xiao Lian, Uncle Yuan, and Aunt Zhen, and saw the group of herb farmers from Baicaomen gathering in the center of the village, seemingly discussing something.
I heard that the leading drug farmer was angry and anxious and said that he had been chasing the girl here, but he couldn't find her.
Senior Brother Gao, I don’t think that girl could have stayed in Dugu Village for a long time. She probably ran out of the village and went to another medicine farmer.
The leading medicine farmer known as Senior Brother Gao immediately denied that it was impossible. Our Baicao Sect has lived in the Qinling Mountains for so many years. In addition to our ability to grow medicinal materials, our tracking skills are no worse than those of professionals outside. I just investigated and it should be impossible for that girl.
Escape from the village
Then what can we do if we can’t search for anyone and there’s nothing we can do?
Each and every one of these group of drug farmers was as anxious as an ant on the hot pot. In Chen Xuan's eyes, if this was performed by Baicao sect members, it would look too similar.
Moreover, no matter how anxious these drug farmers were, they still did not use violence against the Duyang villagers, which made Chen Xuan very puzzled.
Since the drug farmers who dared to steal Xiaolian's medicinal materials before have now brought weapons into the village, why not forcefully question the villagers?
Those are twenty Cordyceps sinensis plants, enough to make people lose their minds due to greed.
When the old village chief saw that Senior Brother Gao from Baicaomen had no intention of leading the team to leave, he asked everyone with a smile if you wanted to stay in the village for a light meal tonight.
When the old village chief said these words, the sun was completely obscured by the mountain peaks, night fell, and the sky and earth were dark.
Dark night is coming.
Chen Xuan noticed that all the villagers in Dujiang Village came out of their houses, and each villager held a small cylinder that was exactly the same as Xiaolian's hand, and then they pulled off the lid of the cylinder together.
Their movements made no sound at all, and after the cylinder cover was pulled off, the cylinder did not spray out water mist as Chen Xuan imagined, but everything went as usual.
Senior Brother Gao was upset and angry. He waved his hand and said that there is no need to eat. I will search again. If I can't find it, we will leave here tonight.
Okay, let's take it easy. The old village chief said and quietly pulled out the cylinder cover.
Just when the drug farmers were about to split up and search again, they suddenly felt that their whole bodies began to become weak and weak. It was very difficult to even stand, let alone walk.
What happened? Senior Brother Gao was so frightened that he immediately took out a small bottle, opened it, and swallowed a black pill.
Everyone, please take the universal antidote. We may have been poisoned by some kind of poison.
After being reminded by Senior Brother Gao, all the drug farmers followed suit and took out the pills and swallowed them at the same time.
But then they were shocked to find that the universal antidote developed by Baicaomen was of no use at all.
Senior Brother Gao's head became increasingly dizzy and he could hardly stand.
The old village chief came over leisurely to help him. If he was tired, he could take a rest in our village.
The villagers helped the drug farmers one by one and helped them sit down on the stone pier in the center of the village.
Seeing this strange situation, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown.
Immediately afterwards, he also felt a sense of weakness in his limbs.
This suddenly made him realize that he was poisoned just like the drug farmers.
Without the supreme immortal energy to protect the body, toxins will be released very quickly in the body.
But this was not what shocked Chen Xuan the most.
What he couldn't figure out the most was how he was poisoned.
Could it be that the villagers pulled off the lid of the cylinder and spread the poisonous gas, leading to poisoning?
But Chen Xuan didn't feel the change in the air.
Sure enough, the disaster had come. At this moment, an idea came into Chen Xuan's mind, and then he sat down softly.
On the contrary, Xiaolian, Uncle Yuan and Aunt Zhen behind him were all standing perfectly still, completely unaffected by the poison.
Now, Chen Xuan understood a lot of things.
Xiaolian walked up to him and said with an apologetic look, Brother Chen, I'm so sorry, you are not one of ours, so I didn't give you the antidote in advance.
Why did Chen Xuan stare into Xiaolian's eyes and asked.
Xiaolian smiled lightly and said that all the reasons in this world are nothing more than money and grudges. I have laid this trap for a long time for the twenty Cordyceps sinensis plants and many precious medicinal materials from Baicaomen, and to avenge my parents.
.
It turns out that your identity and Dujiang Village are all fake. Chen Xuan was surprised when he heard this.
Brother Chen, although you look like a tramp, you are quite smart.
After saying this, Xiaolian no longer looked at Chen Xuan, but walked to the center of the village and called all the villagers together.
You all have worked hard these past few months staying in such a miserable place. Once I bring the Baicao Sect Master over and settle everything, you can go out and be happy.
Very good
I no longer want to stay in this inhospitable place.
It’s best to go out and have fun tomorrow, haha
Each of these villagers is more excited than the other, and they are no longer as simple and honest as before.
Chen Xuan never thought that the so-called paradise was just an illusion. How could there be a paradise in this world where there were no desires or desires and no competition with the world?
With this thought in mind, he stretched out a finger and tapped several important acupuncture points on his chest and abdomen.
