The working utensils were randomly dumped in their original places. Through the window, you could still see the cool meals of several families on the table. But all the villagers disappeared without a trace. Bai Ya knew that they could not stay here.
If it takes too long, the pursuers behind them will soon arrive, and they will not be able to get away enough in a short time. Qi Huan used a spell on the shore, and with the help of talismans, he blinded the pursuers' perception in a short time.
——Similar to a kind of blindfold. They stayed in place and lingered for a long time, which bought them time to escape.
"Are there only so many villagers here?"
"I don't know." Qi Huan couldn't answer Jun Aoyan's question, "But in my impression, it should be more than just the people who caught up. Did the others leave?"
Bai Ya glanced around: "No one packed their luggage and left, but it doesn't seem like something unexpected happened suddenly."
Qi Huan couldn't remember. Judging from the number of houses, more than half of the believers did pour into the sea at that time. The remaining people may not be there, or they may not be able to leave. Among the remaining people, there should be some old and young. But now they are all
I don’t know where to go. Whether it is the Yaksha group or the believers who believe in Poseidon, what these two people are thinking, their behavior patterns and motivations are all a mystery to the three of them. For now,
There is no need for them to understand this.
Most of the doors of houses and shops were open. Qi Huan walked in boldly and asked them to collect useful things as quickly as possible. The most useful things to them were nothing more than food and medicine. Due to time constraints, they only did a rough search in total.
I found four or five places. One of them looked like a pharmacy. Qi Huanqi
Opening the lid of a box, there was white powder inside. Reaching in, he found that it might be some kind of material mixed with mineral ash and sea salt. The greengills preserved in it blocked the air. Qi Huan grabbed many kinds of weird ones.
Pour all the medicinal materials into a cloth bag. No big deal, just turn around and leave slowly.
Next to the pharmacy is a building like a temple or an ancestral hall, but there is no ancestor worship inside. The only thing written on the "tablet" is the name and the number under the name. If the number is age, then they are all a group of children, maybe from the past.
Boys and girls. The number of them is staggering.
The large shrine in the center has ferocious-looking Yaksha sculptures on both sides. They are also strangely shaped, and many of them hold different weapons in their hands. They have seen those weapons in the hands of Yaksha. If this is the first time they see it,
When they see such a sculpture, they will definitely be confused. But now it seems that the so-called three heads and six arms are not just an exaggeration.
However... the interior of this shrine is empty. Maybe no one knows what Poseidon looks like to this day. Or perhaps, the non-existent appearance is the true appearance of Poseidon.
Qi Huan found their boxes in the ancestral hall, which were basically untouched. Jun Aoyan took out three horses from someone else's house. Although they looked sick, now was not the time to be picky. Bai Ya asked her to put all the horses in the ancestral hall.
The cow and sheep pens were opened. Aoyan was puzzled, but he did as he was told. Animals raised specially at the seaside are not allowed to do so.
There were a lot of them, probably from trade with other areas in the mainland. Bai Ya randomly picked up some food, which was very common. Rice and noodles were not common on this remote coast, and maybe they came from the same source as those livestock.
Putting all the luggage, food and medicine on the horses, the horses were already very reluctant.
"How to get there?" Qi Huan asked, "I told you in advance that I don't want to walk through that forest."
"I have a solution."
After that, Bai Ya took out a fire stick and set it on fire. The other two people didn't know his intention, so they had to leave with him before the fire spread. After a while, the few chickens, dogs, cattle and sheep in the village were all in trouble.
Get up. They scream sharply and run wildly in the village. The flames are always moving.
The most instinctive fear of animals. After a while, the animals rushed through the village and rushed to the wide and silent path behind the village. In the panic, not a single little animal entered the dense forest. It was as if all the little ones knew what was going on.
There is some indescribable power hidden in this place.
"Looks like we still have to go through the village."
"What if the other villagers are ambushing me on the road?" Qi Huan asked.
"Then you choose."
"Pretend I didn't say it."
A strange cry soon came from behind, which was the voice of the Yasha that they had long been accustomed to. Are they angry? Because they did not catch up with these blasphemous people. If they still have reason, this strange cry-like sound will
Is the call in memory of these houses that are about to be burned down? No one knows.
As for where to go next, they had no idea. Before dark, they just rode their horses and walked as far into the road as possible. The road became narrower and narrower, becoming less like a road and more like a road.
The trail was trampled by travelers. It was getting dark, and the horses became more and more lazy and unwilling to walk. They had to stop and find an open space to rest for a while.
"It would be nice if I could go on in one breath. I don't know if I will be caught up."
"You make it easy..." Qi Huan slapped his shoulders, "Aren't you tired? My whole body is almost falling apart now."
"You exercise too little."
"Shit!" Qi Huan pinched the bridge of his nose and unconsciously scratched his right arm with his left hand, "I was taken ashore by a monster before. The speed was too fast. When I came up, I actually felt like I was seasick. Ah, I just
When I was very young, I got seasick and felt uncomfortable all over. But the feeling was not that simple either. My whole body was itchy, my joints and muscles ached, and nothing felt right... Sometimes I couldn't breathe, and I felt dizzy and nauseous.
"
Bai Ya lit a fire, and the moment it lit up, Qi Huan saw his solemn expression. Most of the time before, his expression seemed to not care about anything, but at this moment, he suddenly seemed like a different person.
"You may be sick."
"What's the disease? A cold?"
"When I traveled to the seaside with my father, I learned that people there often died of a disease. If you go into the water or swim up too fast, it may happen. It sounds like your symptoms are very similar. We thought at that time
It's parasites or other infectious diseases, but as you put it, it may have something to do with the pressure of the water. Some corpses still have bubbles under their skin."
"No, please don't scare me at this time, okay?"
"See for yourself, there are red nets all over your arms. There are also strange bruises on those dead people."
Qi Huan immediately lowered his head and found that in addition to the scratch marks on his body, there was also something like a network of red and purple blood vessels. It was not very obvious, but it was there. He was a little nervous and did not dare to scratch the itch anymore.
"Then how do you cure this thing?"
"I don't know, maybe you can just take care of it for a while."
"I don't want to feed myself to death."
"Probably not. It's not serious for you. If it's serious, you'd die on the spot."
"..."
The two of them were talking to each other, but no one noticed Jun Aoyan, who had been silent. Qi Huan turned around and saw her leaning on the stone, with cold sweat on her face and a pale face. She felt that something was not right. Bai Ya also stood up immediately.
Quickly stepping over the fire, he touched Aoyan's forehead, which was very hot. Qihuan also felt his pulse, and his face looked ominous.
"...I'll boil some fever-reducing medicine first. Look at her injuries."
Bai Ya opened the place where she applied the medicine and found that it was already red. A strong smell of blood hit his face. No wonder they were always surrounded by flies along the way. There was no smell of rot for the time being, so he had to use water first.
The wound was cleaned to further examine the injury. Jun Aoyan lay down on her side. Her body had no strength at all, but her breathing was still steady and her consciousness was very clear. However, she was unaware of the changes in her body.
Although Bai Ya was very frugal, he almost ran out of drinking water after washing the wound. The water that passed over the wound also turned red, and he realized that the bleeding could not be stopped. He immediately asked Qi Huan to take it
Use clean gauze to temporarily stop the bleeding.
"Where's the medicine?"
"There is no more to apply. You can apply it now, but, but..."
"But what?"
"All the herbs are mixed together..."
Inside the coconut shell roasted on the fire was the final medicine that they had prepared themselves and could still distinguish clearly. Bai Ya didn't say anything, and after Jun Aoyan stopped bleeding, he put a coat on it, and Qi Huan also put his own medicine on it.
He took it off and handed it over. Then, Bai Ya calmly began to sort all the medicinal materials in Qi Huan's pocket. He quickly picked out the big ones first, and then sorted out the more obvious ones. Some medicines
It was very similar. After a while, he dropped a handful of dry leaves irritably.
"How on earth are you pretending?"
"Well, time is tight. Don't panic. The ones I caught have no adverse reactions with each other. Even if you use them wrong, it's no big problem. You don't have to separate them too finely... By the way, don't we have that Poseidon's treasure?
?How to use that thing!"
"It's in the baggage and you can find it yourself."
Both of them knew that most people would not use something that was beyond common sense. Now it is a little less urgent. Qi Huan has time to study it. I don’t know if it is because he is in a hurry on the road or for other reasons. Below
The ore had separated from the main body. Qi Huan looked at the fork for a long time before he remembered what was wrong. He rummaged through the package again and found the blue gem stuck in the gap.
The shape of the gemstone is irregular, basically close to a sphere. It is very large compared to the gemstone, and an adult male's index finger and thumb can wrap it in a circle. It is blue, very pure, not variegated, just
There was something turbid like bubbles in the middle, which might also be flocculation. Moreover, this gemstone was very light, lighter than any ore of the same size that he had imagined.
"I think the key to the so-called treasure lies in this stone." Qi Huan said.
"So how to use it?"
"Then how do I know? Take a look? This thing is quite light. Is it really a gem?"
Bai Ya put down the medicinal materials in one hand, took the gem and took a look at it. The moment he took it into his hand, he weighed it and said:
"Like amber."
"You think it's very light, right? I'm not without doubts, but how can amber be blue? It's still such a pure blue. I heard that amber is made from tiger tears dripping into the soil, so there are worms in some amber.
But how did this end up in the sea?”
"Some insects have wings, so how can they get into the soil?"
"Some people say it was burned by burning honeycombs."
"It's not just bees, there are also flowers, plants and other things."
"So I prefer resin, as some books say. As for maple or pine, I'm not sure."
"Then it shouldn't appear in the sea?"
"Who knows how it fell into the sea." Qi Huan carefully moved the coconut shell away from the fire. "As for the color... it may be due to the penetration of other minerals. If it is really amber, this one is a water bladder.
.”
Bai Ya looked at it under the firelight again. He only knew that those crystals or jade with water bladders were very expensive, but water bladder amber had never been seen before. Looking carefully, the floc was really a bubble, transmitting light, and there was something flowing inside.
