For Chen Tianshu, Death Valley is different from Longtan and Tiger's Den. Due to the influence of his ancestors, people in Longhu Town are very secretive about Death Valley. If it weren't for the special status of Xu Bing and Qin Chuan, Chen Tianshu probably would not have said these things.
As a result, Chen Tianshu persuaded him for a long time, explaining the stakes thoroughly with reason and emotion, but Xu Bing and Xu Bing still insisted on going. This made Chen Tianshu very happy. In his opinion, Xu Bing
He and Qin Chuan, two city dwellers from Yanjing, probably don't know how powerful Death Valley is, which is different from going to die.
As the only cadre and party member in Longhu Town, Chen Tianshu felt that it was necessary to persuade Xu Bing again.
After only trying to persuade him for a long time, Xu Bing was still very persistent and said that he now wanted to see Chen Tianshu's friend who had personally entered Death Valley.
There was no other way, so Chen Tianshu had no choice but to take Xu Bing and two others to his friend's house.[
His friend's surname is Lin, Lin Sanwa. The name is not as loud as his, but it fits the naming characteristics of people in Longhu Town. In Longhu Town, most people over thirty years old have the character for baby or dog in their names.
, such as a certain second dog, a certain flower dog, a certain third dog, a certain fourth dog and a certain five dog, or a certain second baby, a certain big baby.
Lin Sanwa lived in a small wooden house at the end of the town. Chen Tianshu took Xu Bing there and turned on the flashlight. The surroundings were quiet and dead. There was a bright moon in the sky, which made Xu Bing feel like he had entered another world.
A world.
There is no electricity here, so there won't be many modern electrical appliances, but only primitive things, like undeveloped primitive residents.
Lin Sanwa's family consists of Lin Sanwa and his mother. His mother is now over seventy years old, but she is in good health. It's just that she has been tired for a lifetime, which has left her with a severe hunched back and wrinkles on her face.
I feel very energetic when I come.
Chen Tianshu finally explained Xu Bing's matter clearly. Unexpectedly, the old woman immediately looked frightened and sneered at Xu Bing and Xu Bing: "Young people, do you also want to enter Death Valley?"
"Yes, grandma, we want to see your son, is it okay?" Xu Bing smiled politely.
The old woman snorted coldly: "If you want to die, then go to the valley. Poor thing, there will be two more corpses tomorrow!"
After saying that, the old woman actually stood up and walked to a small room on the side, ignoring Xu Bing.
"Don't mind, she lives with her son all year round. People in the town say her son is an unlucky person, so few people come to visit them. I am probably the only one who has come into this house a few times, so her character has changed.
Now that it's like this, you're being polite today. Come on, I'll take you to see her son!" Chen Tianshu saw Xu Bing and Qin Chuan's expressions of guilt and quickly explained and stood up to lead the way.
The old woman was helping her son wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth. The wooden table on one side was very old and there was a bowl of porridge that had been eaten.
Seeing Xu Bing and others coming in, the old woman picked up the bowl and prepared to leave, saying at the same time: "Don't disturb my son's sleep, and leave quickly. They are all seeking death anyway, which is unlucky!"
After saying that, the old woman went out again.
Xu Bing and Qin Chuan looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
This wife's character is really weird.
But now was not the time to argue with her. Instead, seeing her staggering back, the two of them felt a little sad.
The man on the bed is only sixty years old in real life, but he looks older than his mother. He is as skinny as a stick, and his hair is almost a foot long. It looks like he has never had a haircut in his life. It is probably his mother who helped him.
Cut and grooved.
His face was covered with wrinkles, and he was as thin as a mummy. His eyes were wide open, but without focus, and the corners of his mouth were wiped clean. Unfortunately, his beard was already very long, and the white beard made him look even older.
If you couldn't feel his heartbeat, he really looked like a mummy.
"For more than forty years, he is still like this." Chen Tianshu sighed and said with some fear: "Every time I think of me going to Death Valley with him, I am very glad that I did not go in, otherwise, I might have
I will end up with him too!"[
Xu Bing stepped forward, first felt Lin Sanwa's pulse, then opened Lin Sanwa's eyelids and lips, and carefully examined his whole body. Finally, Xu Bing raised his head and said to Qin Chuan on the side: "He is suffering from poisoning.
Like this!”
"Poisoned?" Chen Tianshu was stunned and frowned: "How could it be poisoned?"
"Back then, there was an old Chinese medicine doctor in our town who said it was caused by fright. How could it be poisoning? If it was poisoning, why didn't he die or wake up after so many years?" Chen Tianshu continued.
Xu Bing said seriously: "I happened to have experienced the kind of poison he was poisoned by before in Yunnan. This kind of poison mainly damages the human body's nervous system. If the doctors in your town were really good at medical skills, they could definitely go there."
Find an herb called dragon bone grass, mash the medicine, and make a soup. He will be well in less than a month."
"Aren't you an expert from the Geological Bureau? How come you know medical skills?" Chen Tianshu asked.
Xu Bing smiled and said: "I told you, I have also been poisoned by this kind of poison, so I happened to know the antidote. I guess the fog in Death Valley should be poisonous, and there should be a poisonous plant in the valley."
Chen Tianshu was doubtful: "Then can he still be cured now?"
"Now?" Xu Bing frowned, with a serious look on his face: "His muscles have atrophied, and he may die if he lives for another three years at most. However, if he takes this dragon bone grass now and takes it for a long time,
It is still good for his health. If the situation is worse, he can live a few more years. If the situation is better, he may wake up and walk freely. That is absolutely impossible. At most, he will be bedridden.
Bar!"
"Lin Sanwa is quite pitiful. If he can wake up, it will be a comfort to his mother. But where can we find this dragon bone grass?" Chen Tianshu asked.
Xu Bing thought for a while and said: "This kind of herb usually grows among cliffs. Let's look for it around the town tomorrow. According to the climate here, there should be dragon bone grass. Everything in the world is the same thing.
To overcome a poisonous substance, there will be a detoxifying plant, and the two are often not too far apart, so you can definitely find this antidote!"
"What did you say? Can you save my son?" The old woman suddenly appeared behind Xu Bing.
She had a look of surprise on her face, tears welling up in her eyes.
When Xu Bing turned around and saw her expression, he felt extremely uncomfortable and said quickly: "Yes, I can make him wake up."
"Thank you, my great benefactor, thank you. My wife cannot repay you in this life. I will repay you by working as a cow or a horse in my next life. Please save my son. I just want him to wake up. Even if he has to stand still for the rest of his life, I will repay you."
It's better to not get up than to be a lonely old woman without anyone to talk to me every day, please!"
With a bang, the old woman knelt down in front of Xu Bing. Her voice was filled with excitement and she was trembling non-stop.
Xu Bing was startled, and quickly helped the old woman up, comforted her for a while, and agreed to go out to look for herbs tomorrow, and then went back with Chen Tianshu.
Wang Meili was very excited when she heard that Xu Bing was able to cure Lin Sanwa. Although people from the mountains may sound cruel, they are actually very simple and kind in their hearts. They are even more polite to Xu Bing and Qin Chuan.
He put a new quilt and new sheets in Xu Bing's room, and treated Xu Bing and Xu Bing as distinguished guests. They entered the room and closed the door. Qin Chuan frowned at Xu Bing and said, "Boss, I really want to treat him."
?”
"This person is quite pitiful. Just help them." Xu Bing nodded seriously and said: "Thankfully we went to see this Lin Sanwa. Otherwise, if we entered the valley rashly tomorrow, we might also be poisoned and find the dragon bones.
Grass, I know this kind of herb. It can be taken internally in advance. It can avoid poison and has the effect of preventing poisoning. We just need it too, so let’s help him detoxify by the way!"
"But even if you can revive him, it will take time. We can't get any useful information from him, and I always feel that if he doesn't wake up by then, it will be a blow to his mother." Qin Chuanyi
He changed his usual casual demeanor and said seriously.
"It's better to have hope than despair." Xu Bing thought for a moment and said, "Besides, I'm not completely unsure. According to his current physical condition, just using dragon bone grass will naturally not make him wake up, but I
There are other ways."
Since Xu Bing decided to do this, Qin Chuan did not stop him. That night, he slept until dawn, and the two of them woke up early.[
Coming out of the room, Xu Bing saw at a glance that Lin Sanwa's mother was also at Chen Tianshu's house. When he saw Xu Bing and Chen Tianshu, Chen Tianshu came over and said with a smile: "My aunt made dry food for you and told you to go up the mountain to find it today."
The medicine will be very hard.”
After saying that, Chen Tianshu handed the two of them a bag of pancakes. It could be seen that the pancakes had just been made early in the morning and were still hot.
Qin Chuan didn't pick it up, but Xu Bing happily took it and thanked him. The old woman thanked him very much. Xu Bing and Qin Chuan had breakfast at Chen Tianshu's house and went into the mountain together.
Longhu Town is surrounded by cliffs on three sides. There is only a trail at the entrance of the village to get up, but behind it is a large mountain. The locals call it Longhu Mountain. It is said that there used to be tigers in the mountain. There is a small stream behind the mountain, and there are often dragons in the stream.
Yin.
The two of them walked up the mountain along the path behind the town, and soon disappeared into the mountains.
Dragon bone grass grows on cliffs, but after searching for a long time, the two found nothing, which made Qin Chuan a little frustrated.
The two of them were sitting on the edge of a cliff, eating pancakes fried by the old woman. They were stuffed with pickles. They didn't have much oil and water and were hard to swallow. However, Xu Bing ate very well. They brought their own kettles and cooked them in Chen Tianshu.
There was enough cold water and bread for lunch.
"Boss, it seems that the old woman will be disappointed today." Qin Chuan said: "The most important thing is, if we can't find the dragon bone grass, won't we be unable to enter the valley?"
Xu Bing was also a little frustrated and said: "Don't be discouraged yet. It's only noon now. There will be plenty of time in the evening. Let's look for it again. Maybe there is dragon bone grass nearby."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Bing suddenly became wary, pulled Qin Chuan and immediately rushed to the side.
The two of them ducked and reached a few meters away. At this time, the rock they were sitting on had been knocked to the bottom of the cliff by a claw of a tiger. It took a long time before they heard the sound of the giant thing falling to the ground.
roar!
A tiger with a white forehead and eye-catching eyes, as strong as a buffalo, was staring at them, as if it was about to pounce forward at any moment and kill the two outsiders who mistakenly entered the forbidden area.
Khan, Qin Chuan shivered in fright and quickly instinctively retreated.
Suddenly finding himself confronting a tiger, Qin Chuan was quite uncomfortable.
Xu Bing also felt very strange. Logically speaking, there should not be tigers in this mountain. It is said that there are few people here, but there should be no tigers here. Chen Tianshu had not mentioned this matter before.
However, the tiger didn't give Xu Bing much breathing room, and after failing to make a sneak attack, it pounced on Xu Bing again.
"Up the tree!"
Xu Bing yelled at Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan is also smart. He is a master of Kongkong Sect, and his Qing Gong is naturally the best among the Dragon Guard Army. There are big trees as thick as pots everywhere in this mountain forest. Qin Chuan is like a civet cat, scurrying into the trees in twos and twos.
.
Xu Bing turned his head and stared at the tiger rushing towards him from the opposite side. The tiger had a fishy smell and rushed towards him in the blink of an eye. Xu Bing moved and turned around and walked around to the tiger. The tiger pawed again.
When he was about to turn around, Xu Bing grabbed the tiger's tail and punched the tiger's butt hard.
They say a tiger's butt cannot be touched, but Xu Bing doesn't believe it!
With this punch, Xu Bing was filled with internal energy. With a bang, the tiger let out a wail. Under the pain, he was actually quite intelligent and turned around to pounce towards Xu Bing.
Xu Bing was about to get out of the way, but unexpectedly the tiger turned around and ran away. In just a few seconds, he fled to the edge of the cliff, jumping and running among the rocks and forests, bringing up the howling mountain wind.
Want to escape?
Xu Bing chased after him instinctively, and Qin Chuan quickly got down from the tree and followed behind.
The two chased across a mountain ridge, but the tiger had disappeared. After a chase, they both sat down to rest. At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly pointed to the edge of the cliff and said to Xu Bing: "Oh, boss, you
Look how beautiful the flowers are, but they look so cool like this! I have never seen anything like this before!"
Xu Bing turned his head and was immediately shocked.
Dragon bone grass!
A large area of keel grass!
Xu Bing exclaimed and jumped onto the cliff with Qin Chuan. Xu Bing pointed at the plant in front of him and smiled at Qin Chuan: "This is the dragon bone grass!"
There are a total of thirty-four plants, each one only half a meter high, with winding branches and extremely small leaves. At the top of the branch, there is a yellow flower that looks like a dragon head, with several stamens hanging from it.
Exposed among the petals.
From a distance, it does look like a roaring golden dragon.
"This name is so appropriate!" Qin Chuan sighed: "It seems that there is a reason for this tiger to come. This is called finding a place through iron hooves, and it takes no effort at all!"
Xu Bing laughed: "This is God's will. It seems that this mission should go smoothly!"
