This journey was not smooth. Since we left Honggu County, we encountered heavy rain first, and then were surrounded by snakes and insects. When we entered Chiyang Mountain, we had to abandon the carriage because of the narrow mountain road, and the traveling speed became slow. As of now,
With the progress, Hu Xiaotian expected that it would be difficult for him to return within ten days.
In the afternoon, many soldiers in their team suddenly fell ill, suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and were miserable. Because of this emergency, they had to set up camp in advance. Hu Xiaotian had nothing to do, and neither did King Zhou. Preliminary calculations
, at a glance, there were a total of twenty-seven people sick, accounting for almost half of the Dakang camp.
Qin Yutong collected some herbs in the mountains, made soup in a big pot, and let everyone drink it. This aspect was not Hu Xiaotian's strong point, so he could only do it on the side. Hu Xiaotian first suspected poisoning, and the disease was transmitted through the mouth.
, all the patients became ill after eating mutton from the Sharjah Mission at noon, but strangely, half of them were fine, and not a single person from the Sharjah Mission became sick.
After distributing the herbs, Qin Yutong came to sit on a rock nearby, holding her chin with her hands and looking at the blazing fire under the cauldron, lost in thought.
Hu Xiaotian came to sit next to her and said softly: "Twenty-seven, fortunately King Zhou is fine." He glanced at Qin Yutong and said: "Your herbal medicine is very effective. After the soldiers took it, they stopped feeling
I vomited."
Qin Yutong said: "As long as no one is killed."
"Are you saying there's something fishy about this? It was fine in the past, so why would something happen if you ate mutton?"
Qin Yutong raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you saying that the Sharjah people deliberately poison their food? But why are some people okay after eating it?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I just asked, basically all those who got sick were those who only ate meat and did not drink alcohol, and most of those who drank alcohol were fine. Would they mix laxatives into the mutton and put the antidote into the wine?"
Qin Yutong said: "What is the purpose of the Sharjah people doing this? We accompanied them all the way to protect their safety. It seems unreasonable for them to treat us in this way."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I can't explain why. In short, something is wrong. The behavior of the Sharjah mission is very strange."
Qin Yutong said: "Maybe you are overthinking it. I also ate meat and didn't drink alcohol, but I'm fine."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's better to be cautious in everything."
Suddenly, he saw a delicate figure lying limply on the ground in front of him. It was Xi Yan. Liang Qing, who was responsible for guarding Xi Yan, hurriedly shouted: "Master Hu, Master Hu!"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head helplessly, and Qin Yutong said: "Something seems to have happened over there."
Hu Xiaotian said disdainfully: "I don't know what tricks that witch is going to play."
When he came to Xiyan, he saw her lying on the ground with her eyes closed, her face flushed and as bright as the bright clouds. Hu Xiaotian reached out and touched her forehead and felt it was very hot. He then held her right hand and felt that the palm of her hand was cold. It seemed that
This time I was really sick.
Hu Xiaotian waved to Qin Yutong and motioned for her to come over and help.
After Qin Yutong diagnosed Xiyan's pulse, she nodded and said, "I guess I caught the cold from the shower. I'll go pick some herbs and come back."
Hu Xiaotian was worried that she would get into trouble if she went alone, so he volunteered and said, "I'll go with you."
Qin Yutong hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
It was already dusk, and the setting sun finally poked its head out from the clouds in the west. The orange light made the sunset on the horizon very magnificent. It was very humid in the mountains and forests. There were many mosquitoes. Hu Xiaotian followed Qin Yutong, one step at a time.
I was walking on the ground. In a short time, I had several big bites from mosquitoes.
Qin Yutong had a lot of knowledge about herbal medicine. She picked a few needed herbs and put them in a medicine basket. She climbed the hillside with Hu Xiaotian and reached a high place. She stretched out her hand to Hu Xiaotian and said, "Borrow me a telescope."
"
Hu Xiaotian took out the monocular and handed it to her. Qin Yutong leaned over the telescope and took a look. He carefully observed the camp of the Sharjah Mission for a while, then handed the telescope back to Hu Xiaotian and said softly: "Their camp."
Sure enough, no one had any trouble."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have long said that there is something wrong with this matter."
Qin Yutong said: "What you just said is right. They did add medicine to the mutton. They also mixed the antidote into the wine, so most people who didn't drink fell into their trap."
Hu Xiaotian clenched his right fist and punched the palm of his left hand, and said angrily: "These barbarians really can't tell the difference between us and the enemy." He really couldn't figure out why the Sharjah mission would attack them?
Qin Yutong said: "The people of the Five Immortals Sect only launched an attack on us last night, but the Sharjah camp was safe and sound. Don't you think this matter is extremely suspicious?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you reminding me that the Five Immortals Sect has colluded with the Sharjah people?"
Qin Yutong raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't have any evidence. I just feel that something is wrong. But if they colluded, why did the Five Immortals Sect kill seven Sharjah people before?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "You can't see the living people or the dead bodies. The Sharjah mission said that seven of their people died at the hands of the Five Immortals Sect. Who saw it? Maybe they are talking to themselves.
Qin Yutong said: "It was a bit sudden for Shajia's special envoy Moshali to come to ask people to pay attention. At that time, I began to doubt his motives."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If the Five Immortals Sect colludes with the Sharjah people, then what is the purpose of Xi Yan sneaking into our team? Does she want to be detrimental to King Zhou?" He then shook his head and said: "Probably not."
"Why are you so sure?" Hu Xiaotian said: "If she wanted to kill King Zhou, she would have done it long ago, why wait until now."
Qin Yutong shook his head, turned and walked towards the rock wall. Among the green bushes, there were clusters of small yellow and white flowers trembling in the wind. This is honeysuckle, which can be used as medicine for the whole body. It has the functions of clearing away heat, detoxifying, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
It has liver-protecting and choleretic functions. Although Hu Xiaotian specializes in Western medicine, he is still very familiar with this common herbal medicine. In the past, it was clinically used to treat respiratory tract infections, headaches, sore throat and other diseases. Honeysuckle itself is effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella dysenteriae, and pneumonia.
cocci have inhibitory effects.
When Qin Yutong went to pick honeysuckle, Hu Xiaotian found some duck grass at the foot of the rock wall. This herb can be used for exogenous fever, persistent fever, sore throat, carbuncle, sores and other diseases.
It tastes sweet and cold, and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can be used alone when there is exogenous fever or febrile and sexually transmitted diseases that persist; it can also be used together with anti-inflammatory drugs or heat-clearing drugs. For throat redness, swelling and pain, it can be used with dandelion and black plum.
Or Achyranthes bidentata and Daqingye can be used equally. To treat carbuncles, sores and ulcers, it can be used with ground grass, dandelion, wild chrysanthemum and other medicines. What is even more rare is that this herbal medicine can also be used for snake venom bites. On the one hand
Taking the decoction orally, on the one hand, using an appropriate amount of fresh grass, washing it, smashing it and applying it externally can neutralize the snake venom.
There are rich vegetation in this mountain forest. Plantain, cocklebur, lantern grass, pendant grass, malanthera, water hyacinth, bupleurum and other herbs can be seen everywhere. Some of them are recognized by Hu Xiaotian, and some he does not recognize. But Qin
Yutong knew everyone, and all Hu Xiaotian had to do was follow her and become a competent porter, and he quickly collected a basket full of herbs.
Qin Yutong said: "Go back."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. When he went down the mountain, he saw Qin Yutong's steps were light and as if he were walking on flat ground. Hu Xiaotian didn't have her ability. Qin Yutong reached out and took the medicine basket. Hu Xiaotian said: "You seem to be pretty good at Qinggong!"
Qin Yutong said: "It's nothing strange. I have learned some martial arts from my master since I was a child, but I am still vulnerable to real masters."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I really regret it now. If I had known that martial arts was so useful, I should have started in elementary school."
Qin Yutong turned around and glanced at him and said, "Do you still remember me?"
Hu Xiaotian was startled by her question and said with a smile: "How could I not remember you? I remember even when you turned into ashes!"
Qin Yutong said: "In May last year, I accompanied Master to the Shangshu Mansion to treat you. Do you remember this?"
Only then did Hu Xiaotian understand what Qin Yutong really meant. In May last year, he had not really come to this world at that time. How could Qin Yutong exist in his consciousness? Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Yes?"
Qin Yutong said softly: "You are not Hu Xiaotian at all. Although many people believe the lie that a fool turned into a smart person overnight, this is simply unreasonable in medicine." The water is as clear as a deep spring.
He stared at Hu Xiaotian and said, "You don't need to worry that I will expose you. Your Hu family's affairs have nothing to do with Xuantian Pavilion."
Hu Xiaotian secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Qin Yutong regarded herself as Hu Xiaotian's substitute, thinking that her father Hu Buwei had found a substitute to take up the post. In fact, she was right, but it was not that accurate. I was afraid that she would never think of herself.
and Hu Xiaotian will be integrated in this way.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Although you are very smart, there are still many things in this world that you cannot imagine."
Qin Yutong turned around and continued to move forward: "The world in everyone's eyes is different!"
After returning to the camp, Liang Qing came over in despair. He said in a trembling voice: "Master Hu... something bad has happened. Then... the witch is dead..."
Hu Xiaotian and Qin Yutong were both shocked. They looked at each other and quickly walked towards the tent.
Zhou Wang Long Yefang just walked out of it. His face was full of frustration and sadness. When he saw Hu Xiaotian coming over, he let out a long sigh and said with regret: "What a fate for a beauty!"
Hu Xiaotian glared at Liang Qing. He had just told him to avoid King Zhou from approaching Xi Yan, but King Zhou still came into close contact with Xi Yan. Fortunately, King Zhou was fine, otherwise it would have been too late to regret. Liang Qing also knew this
He made a mistake and hung his head in embarrassment. In fact, it was not his fault. King Zhou insisted on coming in, so how could he stop him.
