Shan Dai looked over and over again, "Okay, but brother, you are really okay, but your breath doesn't sound like you are okay?"
Yamazaki said feebly: "It's bumpy. Okay, let's go quickly. We can heal our wounds in the town."
"Okay." Shandai didn't think much, jumped on the back of the horse, and led the group.
Yamazaki endured the pain in his heart and tried to keep his breathing steady to prevent Shandai from noticing anything unusual.
As soon as the hidden weapon entered his body, he knew through the pain that it was a bone-penetrating nail, and it was not the kind of bone-penetrating nail made by ordinary blacksmiths, just a long nail.
It is the most troublesome kind, the authentic penetrating bone nail with barbs.
The trouble is that once the tip is stopped under force, the back end will push up and create a small hook.
Once the nail head penetrates the skin, flesh, or even bone, it will be firmly stuck inside and difficult to pull out.
Usually if you want to get it out, you have to cut out the whole piece of meat.
The degree of insidiousness of this thing is second only to the legendary anti-meridian vellus hair needle that can go against the pulse.
It is not made of metal, the magnet is ineffective, and the inner Qi cannot be as fine as a hair, so the needle cannot be forced out at will.
If you want to force him out, you can only pay the price of having your body riddled with holes.
It would be even more powerful if the needle was attached with a strange poison that breaks the cavitation veins.
Yamazaki thought of poison and the poison in his body.
This bone-penetrating nail was extremely poisonous. Yamasaki could imagine that the flesh on his back must have turned black.
Fortunately, the poison is not a poison that rots bones and flesh, otherwise it would be troublesome if the meat rotted.
Fortunately, the poison is not very strong.
It's not that the dose applied is small, it may be that the poison is much weaker due to the longer exposure time.
At the same time, his Five Elements Hunyuan Gong can sense that among the poisons there are vegetation poisons corresponding to the Qi of wood, and the rest should be animal poisons, without mineral poisons corresponding to the Qi of earth.
The most troublesome thing about this poison is that, like poisonous mushrooms, it has a hallucinogenic effect.
But it's probably a matter of dosage. For him, it doesn't affect his sanity.
Those poisonous wild vegetables and poisonous mushrooms in the mountains are very difficult for people to guard against. If you drink a bowl of wild vegetable and mushroom soup, you will be infected accidentally.
The feeling was so great that it forced him to work hard to study medicine and toxicology. Even now, he still dare not eat anything from the mountains.
Not only is the thing itself poisonous, but there are also poisonous insects crawling on it, and even poisonous water around it.
There are many things that cannot be tested with a silver needle.
Before you eat something, you have no idea what will happen.
If he had no other choice, why would he leave a lot of wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains uneaten and have to work so hard to open a vegetable garden?
If you think growing vegetables is easy, you will know how troublesome it is when you try it yourself.
Birds peck, mice bite, insects sting and rain rushes, everything is troublesome when it comes to taking care of it.
…
While Yamazaki was thinking wildly, he followed Shandai into the town.
This place is outside the city, there is no curfew, and the night market on the street is very lively with people coming and going.
Shandai didn't charge forward on horseback. She dismounted as soon as she entered the town and turned back to look at Yamazaki's injuries by the light.
When I saw the large amount of black blood on the back of my robe, I was suddenly shocked.
"Brother, there's a lot of blood!"
"It's really okay. It would be bad if it doesn't bleed. Find an inn first."
"You can still laugh."
Shandai ran to fetch the horse. She didn't know that Yamazaki was laughing because of hallucinations. Everything he saw was strange and weird, and it felt very funny.
"Every time you learn something, you will gain wisdom. Next time, remember to wear a cloak."
Shan Dai said angrily: "Aren't your horns better?"
"The advantage of the cloak is that it is cheaper than iron sheets. Otherwise, wouldn't gold soft armor be better?"
"When we have enough money, we will buy two more."
"Then I'll be on the lookout for someone to steal it every day."
"Ha, that's right." Shan Dai was talking and suddenly spotted a restaurant signboard, "Jufulou, what a coincidence. By the way, we haven't stopped here before, so I don't know if they know us."
"You can go in, but don't tell me your identity. It's best to find another one."
"Why?"
"Lest those people come after us to find out our bottom line and cause trouble for Shanjiabao in the future."
"Brother, you think too much."
"Be careful. I'm very conspicuous now. Many people in this town have seen that I'm injured. They'll know after asking."
"Then, as long as we follow up on the matter of us riding eight horses and running wild, they will know about it."
"That's not necessarily true, because they are operating near the official road. They are probably not big forces, but wandering guys. They basically won't investigate too far."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's find another inn."
…
Shandai moved to an inn and approached it. As soon as she got close, a waiter came out to greet her.
"Ah, these two guests, do you want to stay in a hotel? We have many rooms here, and eight of you can stay here."
Shandai helped Yamazaki dismount, "We are just two people, we are just resting, and then we have to rush to the capital."
"That's it." The waiter was a little disappointed.
"Don't be dumbfounded. Quickly ask people to take care of these eight horses and feed them. We will be on our way later."
"Okay, ah, this guest officer is injured, do you want to call a doctor?"
The waiter gathered the horses and finally saw Yamazaki's injuries.
"We will talk to the shopkeeper about this matter. Just take care of the horses. The money will be yours."
"Yes, you are too talkative."
…
The shopkeeper heard this and came out to welcome him.
"Sir, what's going on?"
Yamazaki handed over his hand, "We were attacked by a group of robbers at Shunfeng Inn. Fortunately, we didn't dismount, so we escaped. However, I was still injured by a hidden weapon."
The shopkeeper was surprised, "Why are there robbers at Shunfeng Inn? That's on the official road?"
"I don't know about this. Please ask the shopkeeper to send someone to report to the official and ask the official to bring more people. I'm afraid the situation at Shunfeng Inn may be in danger."
"Okay." The shopkeeper ordered two people and asked them to report to the official.
Yamazaki said again, "Shopkeeper, we need a room to stay for an hour to heal and rest."
"We need at least three pots of hot water, eight horses to feed with high-quality grain, and eight portions of refined grain and eight water bladders filled with cold boiled water on the road."
"I also want a table of food, including a bowl of braised pork, a roast duck, two random vegetables, and a serving of wolfberry and pork liver blood-tonifying soup."
"If possible, have another pot of ginseng tea."
The shopkeeper took out his abacus and dialed, "Two meals of refined food for eight horses, I'll give you eight taels of silver."
"Three pots of hot water, four dishes, one soup, and eight water bags. I'll give you one tael of silver, and you can use the room for free."
"There is ginseng tea, but the question is which ginseng to use."
Yamazaki took off the jade pendant around his neck, and Shandai was surprised, "Brother?"
"It's okay, shopkeeper, we lost our money."
"This is a long-life pendant that I have worn since I was a child. It is worth at least dozens of taels of silver. I would like to ask the shopkeeper to make it easier for me to redeem it in the future when I come back from the capital."
The shopkeeper took the jade pendant, looked at the light, and felt it was okay, "Okay, I'll give you twenty taels of silver, and I'll give you a five-year-old mixed ginseng, which is a planted ginseng."
