"You put the Cordyceps sinensis away first. If they dare to break in, I will help you block it." Chen Xuan said, walking towards the medicine basket on the table in the room.
Seeing this, Xiaolian hurriedly followed, trying to get the medicine basket.
But Chen Xuan was faster. He grabbed the medicine basket and opened it. It turned out that there was not just one Cordyceps sinensis inside, but as the leading medicine farmer from Baicaomen said, there were a total of twenty.
"Xiao Lian, didn't you say there is only one tree?"
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry!" Xiaolian said with tears in her eyes, "Because I was afraid of you at that time, and I was afraid that you would also want to steal my Cordyceps sinensis, so I kept it to a minimum and only dared to mention one tree."
"I see."
Chen Xuan finally understood why Xiaolian was so nervous at that time.
Twenty Cordyceps sinensis plants are sold, and the price they can fetch is not a small sum.
Xiaolian was born in poverty, and these twenty cordyceps plants were simply more important to her than her life.
From another perspective, if Xiaolian only had one Cordyceps sinensis, how could the Baicaomen, as an ancient Chinese medicine sect, come to Dujiang Village just for a single herb?
At this moment, the pharmacist asked questions from outside the room: "Is there anyone else inside?"
"No more, no more." This was Aunt Zhen's voice.
Then Uncle Yuan also spoke: "There are only two of us in our family and we have no children. If you don't believe me, ask the village chief."
Seeing that Uncle Yuan didn't look like he was lying, several drug farmers hesitated and left.
Xiaolian in the room secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xuan saw something in her hand and didn't know what it was, so he immediately asked: "What is that in your hand?"
"This is a self-defense spray made by our village. It is made from the corpse of a kind of insect. Grind the corpse of the insect and spray it with mixed water, which will temporarily blind the opponent."
Chen Xuan said oh, feeling that the medicine farmer should have gone far away, so he opened the room and walked out with Xiaolian.
"Brother Chen, let's go outside and take a look."
After the drug farmer's search, Xiaolian became more courageous.
Chen Xuan nodded, walked out with Xiao Lian, Uncle Yuan, and Aunt Zhen, and saw the group of herb farmers from Baicaomen gathering in the center of the village, seemingly discussing something.
I heard the leading drug farmer say angrily and anxiously: "You came here after the girl? Why can't you find her?"
"Senior Brother Gao, I don't think that girl can stay in Dujiang Village for a long time. She may have run out of the village!" Another medicine farmer said.
The leading medicinal farmer known as Senior Brother Gao immediately denied: "Impossible. Our Baicao Sect has lived in Qinling Mountains for so many years. In addition to our ability to grow medicinal materials, our tracking skills are no worse than those of professionals outside. I just investigated, and that girl should be
It’s impossible to escape from the village!”
"Then what should we do? There's nothing we can do if we can't find anyone!"
Each and every one of these herbal farmers were as anxious as ants on the hot pot. In Chen Xuan's eyes, if this was performed by Baicao sect members, it would look too similar.
Moreover, no matter how anxious these drug farmers were, they still did not use violence against the Duyang villagers, which made Chen Xuan very puzzled.
Since the drug farmers who dared to steal Xiaolian’s medicinal materials before have now brought weapons into the village, why not forcefully question the villagers?
Those are twenty Cordyceps sinensis plants, enough to make people lose their minds due to greed.
When the old village chief saw that Senior Brother Gao from Baicaomen had no intention of leading the team to leave, he asked with a smile: "Everyone, do you want to stay in the village for a light meal tonight?"
When the old village chief said these words, the sun was completely obscured by the mountain peaks, night fell, and the sky and earth were dark.
Dark night is coming.
Chen Xuan noticed that all the villagers in Dujiang Village came out of their houses, and each villager held a small cylinder that was exactly the same as Xiaolian's hand, and then they pulled off the lid of the cylinder together.
Their movements made no sound at all, and after the cylinder cover was pulled off, the cylinder did not spray out water mist as Chen Xuan imagined, but everything went as usual.
Senior Brother Gao was upset and said with a wave of his hand: "There is no need for eating. I will search again. If we can't find it, we will leave here tonight."
"Okay, let's take it easy." The old village chief said, and quietly pulled out the cylinder cover.
Just when the drug farmers were about to split up and search again, they suddenly felt that their whole bodies began to become weak and weak. It was very difficult to even stand, let alone walk.
"What's going on..." Senior Brother Gao was frightened and immediately took out a small bottle, opened it, and swallowed a black pill.
"Everyone, please take the universal antidote. We may have been poisoned by some kind of poison!"
After being reminded by Senior Brother Gao, all the drug farmers followed suit and took out the pills and swallowed them at the same time.
But then they were shocked to find that the universal antidote developed by Baicaomen was of no use at all.
Senior Brother Gao's head was getting dizzy and he could hardly stand.
The old village chief walked over and supported him calmly: "Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest in our village."
The villagers helped the drug farmers one by one and helped them sit down on the stone pier in the center of the village.
Seeing this strange situation, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown.
Immediately afterwards, he also felt a sense of weakness in his limbs.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was poisoned just like the drug farmers!
Without the supreme immortal energy to protect the body, toxins will be released very quickly in the body.
But this was not what shocked Chen Xuan the most.
What he couldn't figure out the most was how he was poisoned?
Could it be that the villagers pulled off the lid of the cylinder and spread the poisonous gas, leading to poisoning?
But Chen Xuan didn't feel the change in the air.
"The disaster has indeed come..." Chen Xuan had a thought in his mind at this moment, and then he sat down softly.
On the contrary, Xiaolian, Uncle Yuan and Aunt Zhen behind him were all standing perfectly still, completely unaffected by the poison.
Now, Chen Xuan understood a lot of things.
Xiaolian walked up to him and said with an apologetic look: "Brother Chen, I'm so sorry. You are not one of ours, so I didn't give you the antidote in advance."
"Why?" Chen Xuan asked, staring into Xiaolian's eyes.
Xiaolian smiled faintly and said: "All the reasons in this world are nothing more than money and grudges. I laid this trap for the twenty Cordyceps sinensis plants and many precious medicinal materials from Baicaomen, and to avenge my parents.
It’s been a long time.”
"So your identity and Dujiang Village are all fake?" Chen Xuan was surprised when he heard this.
"Brother Chen, although you look like a tramp, you are quite smart."
After saying this, Xiaolian no longer looked at Chen Xuan, but walked to the center of the village and called all the villagers together.
"Everyone has worked hard for staying in such a miserable place these past few months. Once I lure the Baicao Sect Master over and settle everything, you can go out and have fun."
"Very good!"
"I no longer want to stay in this ungrateful place!"
"It's best to go out and have fun tomorrow, haha!"
Each of these villagers is getting more excited than the last. How can they still be as simple and honest as before?
Chen Xuan never thought that the so-called paradise is just an illusion. How can there be a paradise in this world that has no desires and desires and is free from the world?
With this thought in mind, he stretched out a finger and tapped several important acupuncture points on his chest and abdomen.
