"Is there someone?" Hearing Lin Xiaowan's voice, Jiang Xiaoyu was immediately confused. When he came back this time, there were a lot of strange things on the floating island. First, he met an old horse that he had never seen before, and now Lin Xiaowan was there again.
Say there is a person in the sea.
Wutong boat took Jiang Xiaoyu and teleported to Lin Xiaowan's side. Jiang Xiaoyu looked in the direction of Lin Xiaowan's finger. Sure enough, there seemed to be something floating there on the sea. Judging from the shape, it was a personal probability or something.
Relatively large.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Lin Xiaowan jumped into the sycamore boat, and within a few breaths, the two of them arrived at the sea where the figure was found.
Although both of them have much better eyesight now than before, the thing floating on the water looked a bit like a piece of rotten wood at first glance.
When there were about ten steps away, Jiang Xiaoyu finally confirmed that it was indeed a person.
At this time, the man was lying on his back on the water. Judging from his appearance, he was a middle-aged man in his forties. His whole body was wrapped in a strange cloth. The strange thing was that the cloth had clearly come into contact with the water.
, but it doesn’t look moist at all.
The middle-aged man's exposed neck and face were as black as carbon, and his right hand seemed to be holding something tightly.
"You wait here, I'll go take a look first." To be on the safe side, Jiang Xiaoyu moved slowly towards the middle-aged man.
After walking a few steps, Jiang Xiaoyu tried to shout: "Hey! Who are you? What are you doing lying here?"
Seeing that the man didn't respond, Jiang Xiaoyu shouted a few more times, but he remained motionless.
"Could he be dead?"
Jiang Xiaoyu walked closer and observed carefully. He saw that the middle-aged man's chest was still rising and falling slowly, presumably still alive.
However, this man's exposed skin was really horribly dark, so dark that even a mortal laborer who burned charcoal could not compare with it.
Jiang Xiaoyu tried his best to recall it in his mind. He really couldn't imagine what kind of serious illness a person was suffering from to become like this. But obviously, he couldn't find any useful information in his meager knowledge reserve.
With a thought in Jiang Xiaoyu's mind, the fishing rod suddenly appeared in his hand. He held the fishing rod in his hand and slowly picked up the middle-aged man's right hand.
"That is?" Jiang Xiaoyu's hair suddenly stood up. That thing was a wild ginseng that fell from a wild ginseng tree.
Jiang Xiaoyu clearly remembered that when he returned to the floating island, he shook the only ginseng from the ginseng tree. Moreover, it seemed that it was thrown into the water at that time.
There was only half of the wild ginseng in the middle-aged man's hand, and the crisp and tender fracture seemed to have been bitten by human teeth.
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly had a strange thought in his mind: Could it be that this person took a bite of the wild ginseng he shook off and was directly poisoned and became like this?
"It can't be such a coincidence!" As he said that, Jiang Xiaoyu took back the fishing rod.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man actually sat up all of a sudden. He looked stunned, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"This is poisonous!" The middle-aged man grabbed Jiang Xiaoyu's fishing rod and raised half of the wild ginseng in his hand.
After saying that, the middle-aged man suddenly fell down again, but his hand still held Jiang Xiaoyu's fishing rod tightly.
As the saying goes, if you scare people, you will scare them to death.
The sudden scene that just happened made Jiang Xiaoyu's heart almost jump out of his chest. He slapped his chest hard with his other hand and gasped: "Uncle, you don't have to be so scary!"
But the strange thing is that the middle-aged man didn't react at all.
"Uncle?" Jiang Xiaoyu shouted twice more, but the middle-aged man seemed dead and didn't react at all.
Looking at the half ginseng in his hand, Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but murmured: "What Lao Xu said is actually true. This ginseng is really poisonous!"
"What happened to that man? I just saw him suddenly sit up and say he was poisonous!" Lin Xiaowan asked from behind.
Jiang Xiaoyu answered at the top of his lungs: "It's poisoning!"
"Poisoned?" Lin Xiaowan glared at Jiang Xiaoyu. Jiang Xiaoyu immediately understood and let the Wutong boat carry her slowly to him.
When Lin Xiaowan saw the middle-aged man's complexion, her mouth suddenly opened wide and she said, "Why is this man so dark? What kind of poison is he so cruel?"
Jiang Xiaoyu's mind suddenly thought of how she actually threw ginseng at Lin Xiaowan when she was under the ginseng tree. If she knew that the middle-aged man was poisoned by ginseng, she would definitely fight for her!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu immediately shook his head, "How do I know!"
"Eh? Why is there half a ginseng in his hand? It seems to be the one you threw to me at that time!"
Jiang Xiaoyu was immediately frightened and could not care about anything else. He quickly replied hesitantly: "I...I thought wild ginseng might be detoxifying, so when he woke up just now, I stuffed half of it in his mouth.
I didn’t expect that after he ate half of it, he caught it in his hand and fainted again.”
"I see..." Lin Xiaowan nodded, and suddenly seemed to recall something, "I remember you said, isn't the wild ginseng here poisonous? And wasn't it thrown into the water at that time?"
"Did I?" Jiang Xiaoyu's palms were instantly wet with sweat. He laughed dryly and said, "I secretly stuffed it into the ring while you weren't paying attention."
With that said, Jiang Xiaoyu pointed to his ring, "How can such a good thing be poisonous? I was just teasing you! Hehe!"
The smile was so embarrassing that even Jiang Xiaoyu himself panicked.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaowan actually said seriously: "Well, although this wild ginseng tree is weird, how can the wild ginseng it produces be poisonous? Since it is a good thing, you should get it back quickly. If you are poisoned in the future, it can be used.
To detoxify.”
"Me?" Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to die. Facts have proved that lying is really harmful to others and to yourself.
"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Xiaoyu could only say a casual prevarication.
"Now what?"
Jiang Xiaoyu pumped the fishing rod vigorously again, but the strange thing was that this man's hand was surprisingly strong. Jiang Xiaoyu was already a monk in the realm of the gods, but he couldn't do anything about it at all.
"I still don't believe it!" Jiang Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, and ripples of spiritual power spread out around his feet.
The middle-aged man was immediately pulled up.
The reason why he was pulled up was because his hand holding the fishing rod had not yet let go!
Jiang Xiaoyu had no choice but to throw him into the Wutong boat and then landed on the shore.
Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to lift him out of the Wutong boat, but what was strange was that half of the wild ginseng in the guy's hand was missing. His free hand directly grabbed the side of the Wutong boat tightly.
Jiang Xiaoyu waved vigorously, and the Wutong boat could not do anything to him except the swaying.
Looking at the situation in front of her, Lin Xiaowan swallowed her saliva, lay next to Jiang Xiaoyu's ear, and whispered: "Is this person not poisoned? How come he looks like he is relying on you?"
Lin Xiaowan didn't need to say it, Jiang Xiaoyu had already felt it.
"Hey! Stop pretending!" Jiang Xiaoyu shouted at the dark-faced middle-aged man with his eyes closed.
After shouting, Jiang Xiaoyu looked closely into his eyes.
This time, the middle-aged man really opened his eyes.
Moreover, looking at his eyes, he seemed to be sleepy.
"Finally woke up? Who are you? Why are you here?"
Jiang Xiaoyu directly shouted the golden three questions on the middle-aged man's face with saliva. The middle-aged man was not angry, and there seemed to be a smile on the dark corners of his mouth.
"I don't know how I ended up here. Why, is this your home?" The middle-aged man's voice sounded fine, but the most important thing was that his face was too dark.
"Yes, it's my home, what?" Jiang Xiaoyu answered with his chest raised.
"Then..." The only white eye on the middle-aged man's face looked at Lin Xiaowan next to him, "Is this your little wife?"
When Lin Xiaowan heard this, her face was so red that she almost bled, "Uncle...you...don't talk nonsense."
"Hey! Are you here to check your family tree or something?"
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Xiaoyu playfully and continued: "I heard that there is an expert living here. I wonder, is that expert yours?"
The corner of Jiang Xiaoyu's mouth tightened, "You are a person who asks questions here and there as soon as you wake up. What are your intentions?"
"Just a simple question!" The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "I also ran into this place accidentally. Since it is an expert's place, I naturally want to pay him a visit."
