"At that time, we will have no problem in here. After we go out, we will have headaches, stomachaches, diarrhea, itchy skin, blisters all over the body, ah, and we may not be able to get hard, just think about it." Yang Guanfeng said.
"So magical?"
"If you haven't experienced it personally, of course you don't know. I don't want to experience it a second time!" Yang Guanfeng actually had lingering fears about the last time he was poisoned. The burning pain is completely different from the usual cold and fever.
"I'm a little scared when you say that. Hey, I can understand studying medical skills. Is it to cure diseases and save people? You said they are studying the use of poisons and poisons. Why is that?"
"I have thought about this and checked it out. Firstly, it is passed down from their older generation. Secondly, the poisons and poisons themselves are classified as medicines. The purpose of their initial research on these things may also be In order to cure diseases and save people, they discovered another use for them, that is, they can kill people and deter others. Although these places are remote, there were many wars and bandits in ancient times. This was also their method of defense. ." Yang Guanfeng said.
"Did you do a lot of work before coming here?"
"That's right, I went to the library to check this place. Not to mention, there are indeed some related records. Of course, they are all legendary things. Rumor has it that their ancestors are the disciples and descendants of the Medicine King Sun Simiao."
"King of Medicine, are you kidding? That was the Tang Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago!" Lu Xiufeng said in surprise after hearing this.
"Yes, but this Thousand Medicine Valley has records from the Ming Dynasty."
"Hiss, the Ming Dynasty, how many hundred years ago was it?"
"Yes, this is an ancient village. It is located in a remote location, so several major wars did not spread here. They rarely interact with the outside world, so they can pass it on." Yang Guanfeng said.
"Oh, there are so many secrets in such a place!"
"I also found some information. It is rumored that there are elderly people here who are over 200 years old."
"Two hundred years old, let me go. Is that still a human being? Is that a monster?" Lu Xiufeng clicked his tongue after hearing this.
"That's not necessarily true. It is said that Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain lived for more than 250 years and then became an immortal."
"It is rumored that Zhang Sanfeng is a real person in Taoism!"
"This is also a rumor, but according to the last census, there were at least 20 elderly people over 100 years old in this village at that time. The total population in this village was only 200 people. This ratio is already very high. Taller."
"Longevity, good at using medicine, good at using poison, good at poisoning, hey, what do poisonous insects look like?" Lu Xiufeng said.
"To be honest, I haven't seen it either, but I don't want to."
While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Please come in."
It was Miao Qingfeng who came in from the outside.
"You two, the banquet is ready, do you think it's okay?"
"Let's go and try the food and wine here." Lu Xiufeng said with a smile.
The two of them followed Miao Qingfeng to Miao Xihe's home. The banquet was indeed very sumptuous. The dishes were all Tujia dishes in the village, which they prepared to entertain the most distinguished guests.
"Welcome, welcome, please take a seat." Seeing the two people arriving, the Miao chief stood up to greet them in person.
"Thank you, the Miao leader is so kind."
After sitting down, Lu Xiufeng stared at the food on the table.
"Well, what is this?"
"Ah, this is a fungus that grows on our mountain. It is delicious and has the effect of nourishing the body." Miao Qingfeng introduced.
"Oh, what about this?"
"This is a specialty fish from Anshen Lake. It tastes very delicious."
"Really? You have to try it." Lu Xiufeng asked about almost every dish, like a curious baby.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is a natural treasure, with outstanding people and rich specialties."
When everyone arrived, the banquet started soon. As the clan leader of this village, Miao Xihe brought wine and expressed his warm welcome to the arrival of these two people, and said that he would do everything possible to provide help and assist them in completing this mission.
Then we started, following the rules in this village.
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious." Lu Xiufeng almost didn't listen and never put down his chopsticks.
"This Tujia food is indeed delicious." He kept extending his thumbs, and Miao Qingfeng beside him had a smile on his face. No matter who it was, he was always happy when receiving compliments.
"It's delicious, eat more."
"Well, well, this tastes good. What kind of brew is it?"
"This is brewed by a mixture of several local grains, and some Chinese medicinal materials are added to it. Regular drinking has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life."
"Well, then I need to drink more. Can it be an aphrodisiac?"
"Yes, and the effect is quite significant."
"Yeah, um, okay!" Lu Xiufeng raised his head and took a sip of wine.
Anyway, he enjoyed this meal very happily and even let himself go a little bit. Yang Guanfeng beside him ate a lot of food and drank a lot of wine.
"Ah, thank you, patriarch, thank you brother Qingfeng. This dish tastes great, and the wine is even more delicious. Thank you for your hospitality. When you are free to go to the provincial capital, say hello to me at any time. I am hosting a banquet. Treat you!”
"Okay, it's settled." Miao Xihe said with a smile.
"It's a deal!"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
That night, Lu Xiufeng drank at least two kilograms of wine by himself. In the end, he lay directly on the table, unconscious and fragmented.
"Sorry, my colleague lost his temper!" said Yang Guanfeng, who had not had much to drink. In fact, in such an occasion, they should not drink so much as they came here with work. There are regulations in these aspects. .
"Hey, Captain Yang, I think this Captain Lu is the one in the mood, which is rare." Miao Xihe said with a smile.
In the end, Lu Xiufeng was carried back to his residence on a pergola.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome. This is a hangover soup prepared for you. It's very effective." Miao Qingfeng asked someone to bring over a porcelain jar with a lid. It was not big.
"Thanks."
"If you need anything, please just ask, there's someone next door."
"Hey, okay."
"go to bed early."
"Thank you for your hospitality."
After sending Miao Qingfeng away, Yang Guanfeng opened the lid and looked at the hangover soup in the porcelain jar. It was very light and smelled of a faint medicinal fragrance. But in the end, he didn't drink at all.
"What sobering soup? Give me a bowl." Lu Xiufeng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up.
"Hey, please pay attention."
Lu Xiufeng directly picked up the bowl on the table and drank two bowls.
"Well, it tastes pretty good. Why don't you drink it? Why don't you get drunk?"
"I drink less, so it's not a big problem."
In fact, the alcohol content of the home-brewed grain wine in this village is not particularly high, so there is no big problem if you drink less.
"Oh, there is such a fine wine, but there is no shop like this after passing this village. I remember you are also a good drinker!" Lu Xiufeng said with a smile, his eyes were very energetic, and he did not look half drunk.
"How long will it take to make it? It's not possible here. There might be ingredients in it!" He pointed at the sobering soup and said softly.
"Hey, you, you are just worried about this and that, quite a lot. It is typical to be bitten by a snake once and afraid of well ropes for ten years. I observed it carefully tonight. That Miao Xihe is definitely a great person. He is a person who lives in this small village. If he were in another place, he would definitely be able to achieve a great career. "
"I think highly of him!"
"Of course, this is one of the best people I have seen over the years. This person will not be so narrow-minded and will not use shameful means in these aspects, but your worries are not unnecessary. If you want to deal with this kind of person, When one person attacks, it must be a deadly attack that will make the other party unable to recover." After saying this, Lu Xiufeng drank another bowl of sobering soup.
"Hey, why don't you try it? It tastes good."
"I won't drink, thank you."
"Where are the others?"
This banquet was not just for them, not just Miao Xihe, but also several old people in the village. They all looked to be in their seventies. According to Miao Xihe's introduction, they were all relatively prestigious old people in the village.
"Those people are in awe of the Miaoxi River."
"anything else?"
"Also, I think one of them is a little dissatisfied with Miao Xihe."
"Oh, which one?"
"That person named Miao Yuntian."
"The one at the second table diagonally across from us is taller and thinner, with a slightly blue eye socket."
