Bai Yuhua's words "third uncle" made Uncle Heng in front of him stunned. Then he sneered in a panic, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who is third uncle? I don't know you!"
"I know you are the third uncle! Whether you admit it or not, you are the only one who knows that Xiaoqing is my biological sister! When you said that just now, you should have thought that you would expose yourself
Identity!"
Bai Yuhua said.
Uncle Heng was stunned for a moment, and finally he could only breathe, "I know I can't hide it for long, you will find me sooner or later! When you first saw me, I already saw doubt in your eyes,
I know that you must have begun to doubt my identity! But I really didn't expect what happened tonight. When I said that sentence, I knew that I might have been exposed! I knew that it would be a matter of time.
, but I didn’t expect that you would discover it so quickly! Yuhua, don’t blame Third Uncle!”
"Third uncle, how come you are like this? You... aren't you from a fishing village? How come you are so familiar with the form here, as if you are a real person living here? How did you do it?
Have you really lived here?" Bai Yuhua couldn't help but asked the doubts in his heart.
"Do you remember that every year at this time, I always say that I have a chronic illness and that I have to recuperate at home and no one is allowed to come to my house? In fact, at this time of every year, I quietly leave the fishing village and come here.
Stay here for a while!" Third Uncle said.
"But why do you come here? It's so dangerous here!" Bai Yuhua continued to ask. In fact, it is very dangerous for a person to live here. Just like the situation just now, if you are bitten by a snake, it will be tragic.
!
"Of course I know it's very dangerous here, but there's no way. I have to find a very precious herb. Only by finding that herb can I cure my illness!" Third Uncle sighed.
"Cure diseases?" Bai Yuhua looked at his third uncle in surprise, "You are the miracle doctor everyone calls you. Are there any diseases that you can't see?"
"It would be fine if it was a disease. In fact, it's not a disease, but a poison!" Third Uncle said after taking a breath, "It's a poison that has been in my body for more than 20 years! Normally, you think I'm very old.
No, it’s all the result of this kind of poison. Every year at this time, I will take out the medicine I concocted and take it myself. Then within half a month, I will be back to five
As a teenager, in these half a month, I will feel that I am here to look for the kind of things that are necessary for detoxification! You also know that I must pay a price for doing this, and my price is...
"
"What is it?" The third uncle said that he couldn't go on. Bai Yuhua cared about the third uncle very much. The third uncle was his relative in this world. He wanted to know what the third uncle had gone through to become what he is now.
"Every time after the half-month effect of the medicine has passed, I will become older and my life span will be shortened! In other words, I have prepaid my life in the past! It's a pity that after so many years, I have paid
I have paid so much, but I still can't find that thing. I...I'm afraid that my time is running out!" The third uncle said, his tone became sentimental.
"So that's it! Then, what is the drug you are looking for?" Bai Yuhua asked. As soon as he finished asking, he suddenly realized something and immediately looked at him with wide eyes, "Could it be... yes
…”
"Same as you, my goal is Cordyceps sinensis!" said the third uncle.
Bai Yuhua was shocked. It was exactly what he had guessed.
"Uncle San, you have been searching for Cordyceps for so many years, but you haven't got any clues at all?" Bai Yuhua asked. He really didn't expect that Cordyceps was so difficult to find. Uncle San couldn't find it after searching for so many years, so they just
Will he be able to find it after coming here for a year? He suddenly wasn't so confident.
"Yes, I have been searching for so many years, but I have never found Cordyceps. But it is not that the club has not received any goods at all. There are still some goods. For example, I am now very sure that Cordyceps is here.
It's inside Zuolu Mountain, but I don't know where exactly it is!" Third Uncle said after looking at the dark mountain.
"I have been looking for it for so many years. Over the years, I feel that my body is failing me. I am worried that my time is running out. This is the last year that I will come here to look for Cordyceps. If
If I couldn't find it, I didn't plan to look for it anymore. I was just waiting to die quietly in the fishing village! I didn't expect that when I fled to the fishing village, I originally thought that it would just be a place for me to stay for a while, but I didn't expect that...
It will also become my eternal destination!”
The third uncle's tone was filled with sadness, helplessness, and a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"No, Third Uncle, let's go look for Cordyceps together this time. I believe we can definitely find it! Third Uncle, when I went back last time, why didn't you tell me that you actually also need Cordyceps to save your life?"
ah!"
Bai Yuhua asked again. When he went back last time, when he saw his third uncle, he felt that he was much older, and that he was too old.
Only now do I know that Uncle San has been overstretching his body over the years. No wonder he looks so much older than his peers.
"I originally wanted to tell you, but then I thought about it and decided to go find it myself. After all, there are many patients there! In fact, I went to see you later, and then I found out that you
My Cordyceps sinensis was also stolen, so I decided to look for it myself! But I didn’t expect that I would meet you. This is really destined by God. Let’s look for Cordyceps sinensis together!”
The third uncle smiled and said.
"Yes, Third Uncle, when I go back this time, I will tell them your identity and tell them that you also need Cordyceps. It will be faster if we all search together!" Bai Yuhua said to Third Uncle.
The third uncle nodded.
After figuring everything out, the third uncle and Bai Yuhua returned to the cave together.
On the way back, Bai Yuhua learned that it turned out that the wine and water that Uncle San gave everyone tonight were drugged, but it was not a drug that was harmful to the body, it was just a drug that made people fall asleep.
These two medicines interact with each other. People who drink alcohol and water will reduce the effects of the medicine a lot, so they will not sleep too deeply. But people like Yingzi, who only drink water, will
Will be extremely sleepy.
Just like now, the third uncle took Yingzi away and wanted to throw her down the mountain, but Yingzi didn't react at all.
