"Have you heard?"
"What?"
"Agou, who works at the Cao Sheng Tang next door, is back..."
At this time, the two villagers saw Wuming coming, and immediately stopped and watched Wuming walk by, and then continued to whisper.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Wuming did not do anything extra. He just kept refining medicine, taking medicine, and training his body, trying to make his body strong first.
However, the atmosphere in the village was a bit weird today. Last night when he was refining medicine, he heard strange crying sounds coming from the other end of the village.
Unfortunately, the people in this village were unwilling to share any topics or information with him. Once they saw him, they would remain silent, so it was difficult for him to get more information from them.
“Although Ah Gou is unconscious and talking nonsense, it seems that something happened in Chuanfeng County.”
"Hiss, what could possibly happen in such a big county?"
"I don't know, maybe he was attacked by horse bandits."
After a while, Wuming walked away and the two villagers continued their discussion in a low voice.
To put it nicely, Wuming's current personality is upright, but to put it bluntly, he is actually lazy. He will not pry into other people's news, nor will he eavesdrop on things that he should not eavesdrop on.
Because of this, he missed a piece of information that was very important to him.
He continued to go up the mountain to collect herbs as planned. The mountain was lush with vegetation and had many medicinal herbs, but it also hid some potential dangers, such as poisonous snakes and insects.
He was almost bitten by a poisonous snake yesterday. Fortunately, he had sharp eyes and quick reactions, avoiding the snake's attack. He then caught the snake and made a snake soup.
Although he hates snakes, he doesn't hate eating them.
In fact, he used to hate eating snakes, but time will slowly change a person. Some people will become more and more outstanding with age, while others will become more and more mediocre with age.
He has been trying to overcome his various shortcomings, and some of them have indeed been overcome, such as fear of snakes.
Of course, I am no longer afraid, but I will still keep my distance from it.
Now he catches and eats snakes simply because the food provided by the village is too poor. He needs to eat meat to exercise, and he cannot be picky.
"This speed of becoming stronger is much slower than I expected."
"We have to think of other ways."
Wuming picked a herb and put it in the basket on his back, thinking to himself.
The main reason is that the conditions for refining medicine are too poor. Even if you try your best to preserve the medicinal power, only one tenth of it will remain. Real elixir is not so easy to refine.
"Since refining medicine doesn't work, let's change direction and use poison!"
Wuming used a hoe to kill a scorpion hiding in a crevice of a rock. Looking at the scorpion's poisonous tail, he became furious.
He has also studied poison. As the saying goes, all medicines are poisonous. Since he cannot make himself stronger, he will use any means to weaken his opponent, and using poison is not shameful.
The sun gradually climbed to the middle of the sky. He sorted the various poisons into categories, preparing to make various poison powders and some poison needles at night.
"ah!!"
Suddenly, a distorted, shrill scream came from the bottom of the mountain.
Wuming stopped what he was doing and slowly looked towards the village, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see the situation in the village clearly.
Such screams are definitely not normal, they sound like the wails of death.
