This is a potato? !
Yan Mo picked it up and smelled it for sure, yes, it was the slight beany smell of potatoes. Take another bite, the soft and slightly astringent mouthfeel is indeed a good potato!
The queen village witch has been watching him carefully. Seeing him like this, she thought he disliked this kind of food, so she said apologetically and embarrassingly: "This kind of ground egg is really not very delicious, but it can satisfy hunger, and it can also be eaten." full."
Hou Shi snorted, "It would be nice to have ground eggs. We don't have any other extra food at this time, and these are leftovers from last year. But don't worry, the ones for you, God Envoy, were specially selected by everyone. Eat them." To ensure that the poison will not kill you."
"Houshi!" The younger girl was angry and the Houshi talked nonsense. Look at what they said, it seemed that they deliberately gave poisonous food to the god envoy.
"My lord, some of these eggs are indeed uncomfortable to eat, but we have already experienced that the ones we picked out for you are all the best. They are absolutely non-toxic. If you don't believe me, I can eat them for you."
"No need." Yan Mo blocked it with his hands, and smiled: "The Temple of the Ancestral Gods also has this kind of plant, we call it potatoes, and most gods like to eat all kinds of food made from it."
"Really? The gods also eat ground eggs?" The rear lion was surprised.
"Haha! Let me see the ground eggs you eat." Yan Mo stretched out his hand.
The rear lion immediately threw him two raw potatoes at his hand.
Yan Mo caught it with his hands, and took a closer look at the firelight, "It has been stored for too long, and the preservation is not good. In the future, any potatoes with sprouts and green potatoes should not be eaten. At least the sprouts and sprouts should be eaten. Dig out the green parts and use vinegar... What are your seasonings?"
The queen village witch asked someone to take coarse grains of salt and handed it to Yan Mo.
Yan Mo tasted it and asked, "Only salt?"
The stepdaughter nodded, and took the leaves of two more plants, "And this one, we have been to the city before, and people who have seen it sold in the shop of the horned tribe, it is very fragrant when it is broken up and put into the meat. Plants are growing around our village."
Yan Mo also took a look. He suspected that these two plants were rosemary and sage, and their shapes were a bit different from those he had seen before. He simply asked the guide to confirm, and it really was those two plants.
Regardless of whether it is rosemary or sage, in addition to being used as a seasoning, its medicinal value is also very high, especially rosemary, which has certain curative effects in refreshing the mind, strengthening memory, lowering blood sugar and achieving weight loss. , but not for pregnant women. And sage can treat symptoms such as irregular menstruation in women.
"By the way, except for the two points I just said, even if they are intact potatoes, pregnant women should eat less, because potatoes contain an ingredient that can cause deformed children during pregnancy, although this possibility is very low. In addition No matter how good or bad potatoes are, it is best not to eat them raw. When baking potatoes, because the middle is not easy to cook, it is not only unpalatable but also easy to be poisoned. I talked about a few simple ways to eat potatoes that don't use much seasoning.
People in Wadi Village eat potatoes all the year round, and have been cultivating potatoes for many years. Naturally, they have some experience in cooking and farming potatoes, but they really haven't figured out much about how to eat potatoes. The Indians cultivated potatoes for so many years, and the most common way to eat them was to boil and bake them. Salted mashed potatoes were considered a good dish.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the level of condiments, knives, and cooking utensils of the times. Just like potato chips, there is not enough oil, the knife is not good, and the knife is not good, even if you can think of it, you can't make it.
Apart from potatoes, Wadi Village has no other food that can be brought out. The village witch later said that they still had some dried meat, but it was enshrined in the temple of Wugan City last time.
There were a lot of condiments and food in Yan Mo's pocket, but he still didn't take them out, so he followed the others by dipping roasted potatoes in water that had been boiled with coarse salt grains, and had a casual meal. He didn't touch the meat, It was distributed to two young men who worked the most and the best today. These two men carried water back and forth. I don’t know how many times they ran. They didn’t rest when the water was full. They then cleaned up the house of the ancestors. water.
The two young men were both surprised and happy, and the others were a little envious, but they didn't say anything. But Yan Mo's seemingly simple move left a deep impression on them.
The stepdaughter saw it, thought about it, and decided to appoint two people to serve Yan Mo after dinner until Yan Mo no longer needed them.
The two agreed with trepidation.
The women fed some mashed potatoes to the patients according to Yan Mo's instructions to ensure that they had the strength to persevere, and those who stretched too hard and were unconscious were fed some salt water.
Yan Mo did not refuse the service of the two young men. At night, most of the people simply spread some hay in the yard before going to sleep. The village witch lit two fires for everyone and threw some herbs to repel mosquitoes in them.
Yan Mo didn't sleep, he sat by the fire and made pills.
No one likes to drink bitter soup and medicine. Everyone spent a lot of time and wasted a lot of time in order to give the patient medicine this afternoon. The efficiency is extremely low.
Yan Mo intends to refine some small pills that are suitable for the symptoms, so he follows Jiuyuan's method, adopting the method of blocking the properties of the medicine and then stimulating the properties of the medicine, in order to achieve the best medicinal effect. I thought the effect would be much better than pure decoction, but unfortunately the villagers in the lowland area were relatively weak in terms of force and spirit power, so it was difficult for them to activate the medicinal properties by themselves. Even if his medicines and prescriptions are handed down in the future, the efficacy of the medicines will no longer be optimal.
The two young men who said they were serving him were already so tired that they fell asleep.
The rear lion turned over and opened his eyes to peek at the young envoy. The orange flame reflected on the young man's face, outlining a very beautiful halo, and the young man's skillful movements between the bottles and cans and the medicinal herbs looked both mysterious and beautiful, and the movements seemed to have a hint of A strange rhythm.
After the lion looked at it, his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
"Hoo!" The snoring sounded much louder than the others.
Yan Mo continued his refining process without being disturbed in the slightest.
The queen village witch didn't stay to say she wanted to help. Although he wanted to learn some valuable knowledge from the envoy, he was afraid that it would be too obvious and disgusting.
In the middle of the night, Yan Mo stretched his waist and got up. First, he went to check on the patients. There were two patients who were not in good condition. He took the pills for the other patients in advance, and then stimulated the properties of the medicine. The rest was to wait.
If his medicine still doesn't work for the severely ill patients, under the supervision of the guide, he will use his faith points to save people.
The young man in charge of keeping watch over the fire wanted to ask Yan Mo if there was anything he could do to help, but he flinched because of timidity.
Yan Mo rested in the middle of the night. During the period, just in case, he released the red wings and flying thorns left in the laboratory. He is not worried about Yuan Zhan, nor about other Jiuyuan people, he is most worried about his bee guards. Before the black hole swallowed him, he had already sent out all the bee guards he had brought, and only Red Wing and Spur who stayed by his side entered the second space laboratory with him.
the next day.
After Yan Mo freshened up, the first thing he did was to exercise according to the training method, and he played health-preserving boxing all the way.
The people who got up were all staring at Yan Mo, and the eyes of the rear lion became brighter the more he looked. The soldier's instinct told him that these weird dancing movements must be of great use to him. For this reason, he waited for Yan Mo The closing momentum rushed over.
"Hey, Master God Envoy, what are you practicing? Can you teach me?"
Yan Mo cleverly pushed him away - when facing those fighters and priests who are always at the ninth level and the peak of the ninth level, his force value may indeed be a bit low, but to deal with these strong men in Wadi Village, bloodline ability is not needed, With just fist and kick skills, he can hit ten of them without any problem!
"Huh? How did you do it?" The rear lion came to pester him again.
This time Yan Mo directly threw him somersault.
Instead of being angry, the rear lion was delighted. As soon as he stretched his waist and abdomen, a carp jumped up and shouted: "Great! Master God Envoy, teach me these skills, and I will be your attendant!"
"No." Yan Mo refused mercilessly, and said to the village witch who came over: "This is ginger and brown sugar, I will teach you how to make ginger soup later, and the boiled ones will give all the health in this yard Everyone can drink a bowl. For the remaining ginger and brown sugar, you can take it back to Xincun according to the ratio I said, and give everyone a bowl. I will give them another medicine for the five typhoid fever."
"Yes, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
The busyness started early in the morning.
Everyone drank a bowl of hot and spicy ginger soup before breakfast. Many people were not used to it, and they couldn't help making weird faces, but everyone dared to spit it out, and they were reluctant.
Hou Shi seemed to like the sweet taste of brown sugar in the ginger soup. After drinking a bowl, he asked for another bowl. For this reason, he had to chop more firewood than others.
After Yan Mo boiled the ginger soup, he went to distribute the medicines according to the symptoms of the patients, and then stimulated the properties of the medicines one by one.
After that, he went to Xincun with his stepdaughter.
"My lord, I understand what you said about cholera last night, so what is typhoid fever?" The stepdaughter asked cautiously after taking half a step back.
"Typhoid fever does not refer to a symptom, I am talking about typhoid fever in a broad sense." Seeing that the daughter did not understand, Yan Mo simply said: "Usually the typhoid fever mentioned by the Temple of the Ancestor God includes stroke, typhoid fever, dampness, fever, These five symptoms of febrile disease. As for the symptoms of those five people, if they are subdivided, they should belong to one type of febrile disease, that is, wind-heat viral cold. It is easy to suffer from this disease in hot weather. Contagious. Wind chill from cold weather is usually not contagious."
"That is to say, these diseases can be called typhoid fever?" The stepdaughter finally understood.
"Yes, but you should watch them separately, so as not to get confused." Yan Mo laughed, and this time he asked his stepdaughter about Ugan City and the horned tribe. Concealed.
"You said the main road from your village to Wugan City was blocked? Do people from other villages have other ways to enter the city?"
"No, my lord, if you want to go to Wugan City from the east, you only need the main road."
"Are there any sick people in other villages?"
"I'm not sure, maybe there is. There is another valley in front of us, where there are more people living because of the warm winter. This time our place is flooded, and theirs must have been flooded more severely."
"They never met with you?"
"There is only a narrow path across the valley. We generally don't go to the valley, and people from that side don't come here casually. My lord, we have territory divisions here. Even if there is little food, unless we want to fight, we seldom cross the border."
Yan Mo always felt that the situation was a bit bad, "The temple attendant you mentioned closed the road after only seeing the patients in your village?"
The stepdaughter continued to shake her head, "He may have gone to other villages, such as the valley in front of our village, but we couldn't follow him, so we don't know if he went to other villages."
"Did Wugan City do anything other than road closures? For example, send more soldiers to guard the main roads?"
"have!"
"How many days has the road been closed?"
"Today is the fourth day."
Yan Mo rubbed his forehead, "Is the lord of Wugan City decisive? How about others? Are they cruel, greedy, despicable, or more tolerant and gentle?"
The stepdaughter shook her head again embarrassingly, "I have never seen that city lord, nor have other people in our village, that is the city lord of Wugan City, but I heard that the city lord is a very powerful fighter. "
"Is there chaos in Wugan City? Are there many people who commit crimes and make trouble?"
"No, the city lord of Wugan punished the criminals very severely. As long as we don't go to messy places and don't collide with horned nobles, it's fine for us people to enter the city."
Yan Mo gradually analyzed the character of Ugan City Lord from the words of his stepdaughter, which made him feel even more uneasy, "Is there any place in your village to avoid the chaos of war?"
"Zhan Luan!?" The stepdaughter is certainly not as elm-headed as his clansmen to be a priest. He almost quickly realized, "You mean that the Lord Wugan will send soldiers to kill us?"
Yan Mo nodded, "Cholera is a very serious infectious disease. If there is no one in Wugan City who can treat it, then the best way to isolate the spread of the virus is to empty out all the infected areas and then set them on fire. This has been done in the past There are quite a few forces, Ugan City is not the first, and it will definitely not be the last."
"No wonder he took us all away! He almost didn't even leave us to grow food! It turns out, it turns out... Ugan city lord and the temple want to kill us?" The queen priestess trembled slightly, and he had no doubts Mo's speculation, because as a local, it would be fine if Yan Mo didn't remind him. He reminded him, no matter how he thought about it, he really felt that Ugan City might do this kind of thing to them.
Yan Mo patted him, "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up. Let's solve the problem before us, and then see where we want to escape."
Go face to face with Ugan City now? He's not that stupid.
When they arrived in Xincun, Yan Mo checked the pulse of the five people again and gave them the appropriate medicine, "Fengreganmao is not a serious illness, just survive these two days. Remember to drink plenty of hot water, ensure sleep, and sleep again if possible." Get some fruit to eat. You are not allowed to go out now, one is to let you have a good rest, and the other is that many villagers in your village are in poor health and are easy to be infected."
The five people who had been worried all night were finally relieved.
Yan Mo walked around the new village and found the cellar where the potatoes were stored under the guidance of the female village witch, "Fresh ones are not easy to keep, you can also make dried potato chips. The method is very simple, just wash the potatoes and remove them. Peel, cut into slices, soak in water, boil in boiling water, take out to dry, wait until dry, feel no moisture, you can put it away, and then put it in a dry and cool place, pay attention If it is not damp, it will be fine for a year or two."
"This is good!" The daughter-in-law was overjoyed, and quickly arranged for people to deal with the remaining relatively intact potatoes that did not need to be planted.
"You can't eat the ones that are green and sprouting, and you can't eat the ones that are black and rotten!" Yan Mo threw out a few potatoes that were all black, and crushed them with one foot, preventing the children around them from picking them up.
"Take me to look around, just go to that valley."
"But… "
"Your clansmen are basically fine. Those patients in the House of Ancestral Spirits can basically be saved as long as they take the medicine again at night. The problem is that if cholera breaks out in the human settlements around your village, if you don't treat them, you The village will not be spared in the end, even if it does not die of illness, it will be killed and burned to death by people sent by Wugan City!"
After much deliberation, the stepdaughter gritted her teeth, "Okay! I'll take you there!"
"What ability do you have?" Yan Mo left as soon as he said it, without giving his stepdaughter a chance to hesitate and repent.
"what?"
"I ask you, apart from praying to your ancestor spirits, can you get any power from your ancestor spirits? For example, you can know things in the distance, can you..."
"I can talk to the dead."
Yan Mo paused, "Is it all the dead people? It doesn't matter how long they die?"
"No." The stepdaughter followed Yan Mo, "If the soul has dissipated or moved away, then I can't talk to it, only the soul is still around the body, and I refuse to go to Pan'a God... er, refuse to go to the embrace of the Mother Goddess people, I can communicate with them.”
"It turns out that he is a yin practitioner. This ability is also good, and it is very convenient to solve the case." Unfortunately, it is not very useful to him at the moment. However, being able to pass through the yin indicates that its soul power has great potential for cultivation.
There are no beasts in Wadi Village, and all walks are on two legs.
The female village witch called for the village chief and gave a few instructions. She only took Hou Shi and the two young men who served Yan Mo and set off on the road.
Red Wing fluttered its wings and flew from Yan Mo's shoulder, buzzing away.
The stepdaughter saw it, and also saw another bigger flying thorn.
It took more than half a day to walk from Wadi Village to the valley. Yan Mo roughly calculated the distance based on the size of the steps and the time, and it was about 20 kilometers.
Near the narrow path leading to the valley, Red Wing buzzed back just then.
Yan Mo grabbed the stepdaughter and said softly, "Stop! Don't go any further."
The three rear lions stopped together.
Yan Mo asked his stepdaughter: "You have been in direct contact with so many patients and you can still live until now, which means you have a way to protect yourself, right?"
The stepdaughter nodded. He didn't hide this from the villagers, and the villagers also knew that the village shaman was blessed by the spirit of the ancestors, and generally he would not get sick, but if he got sick, he would die.
"Do you dare to go in with me to have a look? Let me tell you first, there are many dead people inside."
Before the stepdaughter could answer, the queen lion shouted, "I'll go!"
"No! I don't want to waste precious herbs. The three of you stay outside. If you feel the wind blowing from the valley to this side, you run back quickly and try to transfer the people from the house of ancestors to If you go to the highlands, you don’t need to enter the new village, but you must go to the highlands.”
After Yan Mo warned the three people, he was the first to set foot on the narrow path leading to the valley, followed by the village witch.
Just walked to the valley entrance, before seeing the scene in the valley clearly, Wu Guo, who had been silent in Yan Mo's stomach until now, suddenly shouted in his mind: "I feel it! The front, the west, everything is very important to me and Dudu. Good stuff!"
"What?" Yan Mo asked in his head while walking.
"I don't know!" Wu Guo uttered three words very simply, and shouted again: "Didn't you always want us to come out? I have a feeling that as long as I find that thing, Dudu and I can come out together!"
Yan Mo stopped in his tracks, "What did you say? Can you and Dudu come out?"
"Yes."
"Come out as a human?"
"do not know!"
"Impossible, my scum value has not been reduced yet, how can the guide..."
"What are you mumbling about? Why can't I hear you?"
Just not wanting you to hear, Yan Mo wiped his face with one hand, took a deep breath, took out two cloth handkerchiefs, sprayed some liquid medicine on them, and handed one to his stepdaughter, "Put it on, and stick it on the nose and mouth."
The stepdaughter thanked him for taking it, and he also smelled a stench of rotting corpses.
Yan Mo started walking again, "Where is the west side ahead?"
"Is it the west side after passing through the valley? If you go straight ahead, it will be Ugan City." The stepdaughter replied.
Yan Mo looked up into the distance, the valley blocked his sight. Could the thing Wu Guo said be in Ugan City? Can he and Dudu really come out of his body
At the same time, Yuan Zhan stood in front of the Dark God, a shadow totem carved on the cave wall, and said gloomyly, "Ninety-nine slaves need to be sacrificed once to open the passage? And all of them are required to be fighters above level three?"
The shadow totem like a human figure spoke, but it didn't really make a sound, but directly transmitted its meaning into Yuan Zhan's mind: "Yes, it won't work without one. If the three of you go together, you have to go again." Add twenty-nine life sacrifices."
An Bu said at this time: "This condition is the same for us Ancheng people. Our Anshen doesn't ask for a single head."
"I don't have so many slaves around me now, or should I catch some in the dark city?" Yuan Zhan pursed his lips, his eyes were cold.
An Bu clenched his fists, with hatred in his eyes, "I can provide slaves for life sacrifices, but I have one condition. If that Mo University comes back in the future, I hope you can help us inspire a tenth-level fighter!"
Yuan Zhan didn't immediately agree. First of all, the matter involved Yan Mo. He didn't want his priest to be coerced into doing things. Secondly, to open the space channel, one hundred and twenty-eight war slaves must be sacrificed to the dark god. Even if these war slaves are all from the dark city, I am afraid that the ancestor god will also count this account on Mo's head.
Yuan Zhan didn't know what standard the ancestor god used to punish Yan Mo, but judging from previous experience, it was extremely strict.
In order to minimize the possibility and frequency of punishment for Yan Mo, Yuan Zhan does not intend to accept Ancheng's "good intentions".
"You want energy, right?" Yuan Zhan asked the Dark God in the cave wall.
Dark God: "Yes."
"I have a baby that will definitely satisfy you, but I want you to let everyone in the dark city go out."
"What baby?"
"Why, are you still afraid that I will hurt you? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you until you send me safely to my priest."
"Hurt me? Kid, I can see that your energy is very strong. It seems to be similar to my accumulation over the years, but you are still too tender after all. It is not difficult for me to kill you."
"Oh? Get everyone in the dark city out."
Anshen was silent for a moment, maybe it had exchanged something with Anbu and others, Anbu only looked at Yuanzhan bitterly, then waved away with his warriors and the high-ranking warriors guarding the cave.
"Now you can take out the things. If the things don't satisfy me, I may not be able to deal with you at once, but it is easy to kill the old man next to you. As for the little man-faced bird, I will send him back to his Where it should be!"
Yuan Zhan took the package behind his back with his backhand, opened it, and revealed a simple wooden box inside.
Open the wooden box again, and a surge of majestic energy quickly filled the entire cave space.
The Dark God was visibly excited, "Sacred Blood Stone? Is it still this big? You got it from Wucheng, right?"
"That's right."
"You want to give me the blood stone? Well, don't say three people, it's thirty..."
"Wonderful idea!" Yuan Zhan interrupted Dark God's dream, "You have level eleven, right? Do you want the blood? I can take out the blood inside, and I can give you half a drop, but only half a drop for now." Half a drop of my blood, and the remaining half, I will give it to you after I bring back my priest, and I can make a soul oath."
"No! Too little!"
Yuan Zhan slammed the lid shut and turned around immediately, "Jiufeng, we will fly to the Western Continent, and it will only take ten or twenty days."
Jiufeng cooperated in a rare way: "Jie!"
"wait!"
Yuan Zhan turned around, "You want to snatch it? Do you want to try?"
It was clearly a carved black shadow, but it was walking around the wall. The other party seemed to be struggling violently, and finally the black shadow stopped at its original position, "Can you really take out the divine blood perfectly?"
"If I can't take it out, will I ask you such a condition?" Yuan Zhan laughed.
"Do you know the purpose of divine blood?"
"A little bit."
Dark God doesn't believe that he only knows a little bit, how can a person who can take the blood of God only know a little bit
"How do you know..."
"Master Dark God, I'm in a hurry, so you just say whether you want to make this deal."
"Aren't you afraid of my hands and feet?"
"I said, you can try."
The dark god didn't dare to try it. If it didn't have the blood stone, it would dare to give it a try, but after knowing that the tribal leader actually brought the largest known blood stone, it didn't want to give it a try when the other party noticed something was wrong. Devouring the Divine Blood Stone and exploding itself forced it to perish together, not to mention that it still wanted to get the remaining half drop of pure divine blood.
"Deal! I'll open the channel to send you off, you give me half a drop first, and you make a soul vow, and do it now."
"Okay." Yuan Zhan took the soul oath very simply, and then took a moment to carefully take out a quarter of the blood of the gods, and handed it to the Dark God while floating.
The divine blood disappeared before the shadow on the cave wall.
The dark god seemed relieved, "See the altar in front of you? Put the hair or flesh of the priest you mentioned, preferably fresh, in the pit on the altar. Then you stand in front of the altar Come, touch the altar with your hand or part of your body."
Yuan Zhan and the old man He did so, and the smaller Jiu Feng flew directly to the altar. In fact, Yuan Zhan didn't want Jiu Feng to follow him, but Jiu Feng insisted, and he was particularly curious about the magical existence of the space channel.
"You three better get closer, go!" Dark God was so wicked that he opened the space passage very suddenly and threw all three living creatures into it.
"Jie!" Jiu Feng resisted the suction subconsciously, and was grabbed by Yuan Zhan, who also grabbed the old man He with his other hand.
The sky is spinning, the body seems to be split and then condensed, this process seems to be repeated countless times in a very short period of time, He seems to have passed out. The extremely beautiful dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes, and the strong Ruyuan Zhan couldn't stay awake. He didn't even know if he was still holding on to Jiufeng and Old Man He.
"Bang!" The three creatures were thrown out of the air and fell hard to the ground.
