Chapter 710: Do I look like a son-in-law? (8 more)
Du Qingchen's medical skills are naturally very good. It can be said that there are few people in this world who have better medical skills than him. No, it can almost be said that no one has better medical skills than him.
But he is not a god after all. The disease can be cured, but the poison may not be cured.
The old man was simply poisoned. He didn't even know what the poison was or how to cure it.
After hearing what he said, the fire of hope that had been ignited in the old man's eyes was extinguished again.
He sighed and said, "Okay, I actually know that this poison is difficult to cure. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have died in our town."
"A lot of people died in your town?"
Du Qingchen was shocked.
The old man said: "My surname is Yue, and my name is Yue Honggang. That is my granddaughter, Yue Xiaohua. My son and daughter-in-law all died of this poison ten years ago, including almost every household in our town.
People are dying, and the most terrifying thing is that this kind of poison will appear once every ten years, and the time is very accurate. No, the ten-year period has arrived again. This situation has been maintained for many years. From our ancestors
This is how it is uploaded, and it is the same in several nearby towns."
"But why don't you move out? Since it's so unsafe here, you can definitely move out of here."
Du Qingchen asked.
"Of course we understand this truth, but you only know one, but you don't know the other. The area within a hundred kilometers of our place is a cursed place. Anyone who goes out will definitely die. It is almost impossible to get out. Once you leave,
This range will die soon." Yue Honggang said.
There was deep fear and sadness in his eyes.
Du Qingchen was dumbfounded.
There are such weird things.
He couldn't believe it.
However, Yue Honggang did not know him, so it was completely impossible to deceive him.
"This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing, and I have never heard anyone talk about it, but I believe you. Will there be outsiders coming in this town?"
"Generally there won't be. Even if there are, most of them will die and few will be able to escape. So the government has classified this place as a forbidden area. We are completely autonomous. No one will care about our life and death. People have been here before.
, but everyone who comes is dead, so you shouldn’t come. People in our town regard outsiders as unlucky people. Legend has it that in a long time ago, Qingfeng Town was the same as outside. At that time, the population here was
It is numerous and very prosperous because of the arrival of an outsider. In the end, the outsider made a mess here, and later it became a cursed place. The exact details are just legends and cannot be confirmed."
Du Qingchen thought for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out. Just in time, Xiaohua prepared the meal.
Each person has a big bowl, which contains less rice and more miscellaneous grains, just a little pickle. There is a bit of game in it, but not much.
"Don't be dissatisfied. Life here is not very good. Although there are fields and land, our harvest will not be very good because the population is too small. The meat is brought back from the game that the people in the town hunted in the mountains. We
I usually can’t bear to eat it.”
Yue Honggang explained.
Du Qingchen said gratefully: "Thank you."
"It's always inconvenient to go out. Besides, it's still unknown whether you can get out of Qingfeng Town alive. Now that you're here, let's eat."
Yue Honggang said.
Du Qingchen nodded.
After dinner, Du Qingchen took out a silver needle to detoxify Yue Honggang.
It took an hour for Du Qingchen to withdraw the needle.
After treatment, Yue Honggang's complexion was much better than before. He asked with some surprise: "Has my poison been cured?"
"No, I just suppressed the poison temporarily. I can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. But don't worry, I will go into the mountain tomorrow to see if I can find the source of the poison. Maybe I can prepare an antidote by then.
Come."
Du Qingchen promised.
"You want to go into the mountains?"
Yue Honggang was startled.
Du Qingchen said: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"You must not go into the mountains these days. Without someone to take you, you will easily get lost. You may not know that our cursed place is different from the outside. I can't explain it in a few words.
Anyway, if you are a foreigner, once you enter a certain boundary, you will get lost and may never come out."
Yue Honggang continued: "I am definitely not alarmist!"
"Is there such a strange thing?" Du Qingchen was a little confused.
"After a few days, I'll have someone take you into the mountains, or I can take you myself. Anyway, my toxicity has been suppressed."
After saying that, Yue Honggang suddenly changed the subject and asked Xiaohua: "Have you prepared all the offerings?"
Xiaohua said on the side: "Ready, grandpa."
"Brother, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Du."
"I won't ask where you are from, Xiao Du. Since you have entered Qingfeng Town, you are destined to be unable to get out. I have something to discuss with you. I don't know what you want." Yue Honggang said.
.
Du Qingchen said: "If Mr. Yue has anything to say, just say it."
"I want to bring you in and marry my granddaughter. What do you think?"
Yue Honggang said seriously.
When Xiao Hua on the side heard this, her face turned red. She lowered her head and said nothing, but she still couldn't help but glance at Du Qingchen quietly.
puff……
Du Qingchen almost fell to the ground.
Looking for a son-in-law?
Is it my destiny to be someone else's son-in-law?
Ahem, that's too far off topic.
He thought this was too ridiculous and said with a smile: "Mr. Yue is joking, right?"
"I'm not joking. Look, I'm already at this age and I've been poisoned again. I'm sure I'm not going to die soon. If I leave, Xiaohua will have no one to take care of you. You can't get out anyway. I don't want to harm you.
, here, as a foreigner, you will be hostile to others, why not marry Xiaohua, and you will be considered a member of my in-laws' family, so naturally I will not talk about you again. In addition, you also have medical skills, so you can continue to serve the villagers in the town.
See a doctor, so that your future life will be guaranteed. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone? What do you think?”
"To be honest, I am already married, and I have a very good relationship with my wife. I will never marry again. Also, my father-in-law may not know me yet. If I want to leave, no one can keep me.
I don’t believe that this cursed place can really kill me.”
At this time, Du Qingchen had a serious look on his face and his breath was slightly released.
The old man's eyes lit up: "You know how to practice?"
Du Qingchen asked: "Lao Yue also knows how to practice?"
"There once was an outsider who was also a cultivator who came here, but I didn't exist at that time. According to my ancestors, cultivators are very powerful and can conquer rivers and seas. If you are a cultivator, maybe you can really do that.
It’s not necessary to leave.”
Yue Honggang said with some excitement.
Du Qingchen smiled and said: "Yes, we cultivators have our own ways to save our lives. As for Xiaohua, I believe she will live a good life, and you will live a long life. I will definitely find a way to cure you.
.”
Xiaohua glanced at Du Qingchen with some disappointment, then continued to lower her head and remain silent.
Yue Honggang didn't mention the marriage anymore. When he chatted with Du Qingchen about outside affairs, both his grandfather and grandson were very interested and listened with great interest.
