Although it is already night, today is in the middle of the month and the weather is very good. The bright moon is in the sky and the stars are dotted, making the quiet mountain village look like day.
For the sake of safety, Lin Xu specially put the repeating crossbow into the container for storing herbs before setting off.
After Lin Xu, Ruolan, and Sun Chong went up the mountain, they began to look for medicinal herbs.
Of course, Ruolan was mainly searching alone. The two grown men didn't even know what the herbs looked like, so they could only help clean up the weeds and clear the way.
It seemed that she was really lucky. It only took half an hour for Ruolan to find a few plants. She dug out the roots and looked at them. The quality seemed to be very good.
However, not a single Ophiopogon japonicus plant has been found.
"Sister Ruolan, forget it if it doesn't work. Anyway, we have these herbs."
It was already very late, and Sun Chong was really embarrassed to let them stay in the mountain anymore, especially Ruolan, who was still a girl.
"Let's look for it again. I dug up Ophiopogon japonicus some time ago, and there should be more. If two herbs are decoctioned and taken together, the effect will definitely be better than one herb." Ruolan looked at Lin Xu and said.
.
"Brother Chong, just listen to Ruolan!" Lin Xu also said.
"Hey! I really don't know how to thank you..."
Sun Chong sighed lightly, feeling even more moved!
"Brother Chong, how about this? I just told you what Ophiopogon japonicus looks like. You look for it here first. I'll go to the stream over there to have a look. I picked it there last year.
Maybe it will happen again this year." Ruolan suggested.
"Okay! Just do as you say! Divide the troops into two groups, it's more efficient this way!" Sun Chong nodded repeatedly.
"Brother Chong, I will follow Ruolan over there, please pay attention to your safety!" Lin Xu said.
"Don't worry! Don't worry! You should also pay attention to safety. If you encounter a wild beast or something, just scream and don't do it yourself. I will be there soon!" Sun Chong warned.
Lin Xu and Ruolan came to the creek. Ruolan said shyly: "Master, I'll go there to relieve myself..."
"Just settle it here. We are already an old married couple, why should we avoid taboos?"
Lin Xu had a bad smile on his face, deliberately teasing her.
"Officials, don't make fun of..."
Ruolan's pretty face turned red as expected, and she walked towards the shelter in front.
Lin Xu laughed and squatted by the stream.
There was no pollution in this era, the stream was crystal clear, with a few aquatic plants swaying in it.
He picked up the stream water, washed his face, and drank two more sips. It was sweet and refreshing, and it was no worse than a certain mountain spring in his previous life.
"ah!"
In the shelter in front, Ruolan suddenly let out a scream!
Lin Xu felt a chill in his heart and ran over quickly!
"Guanren, you...look..."
Under the moonlight, Lin Xu saw a young woman wearing a blue skirt, curled up and hiding behind a big rock, her face was pale and she was already unconscious.
Her abdomen was obviously injured, and the blood had stained the piece of clothing red.
When he heard Ruolan screaming just now, he thought it was a wild beast, but he didn't expect this to be the case!
"Officer, what should I do?"
Ruolan is a girl after all, and when she suddenly saw this situation, she was frightened and at a loss.
Lin Xu stepped forward and felt the injured woman's pulse. There was still a heartbeat, but it was very weak!
At this moment, Lin Xu suddenly heard a rush of footsteps!
He was about to call Sun Chong, but suddenly his heart sank, and he swallowed back the words that came to his lips!
Because, he keenly felt that there was not just one person coming over!
Without any hesitation, he immediately took out the repeating crossbow from the rack, cocked it, and hid it behind his back!
The next second, two men wearing black suits and holding steel knives appeared in front of them!
"ah!"
Seeing these two men in black, Ruolan shivered with fright and couldn't help but scream again!
Lin Xu immediately pulled Ruolan behind him.
The two men in black looked at the unconscious young woman. One of the men in black pointed a knife at Lin Xu and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"
"I'm just a passerby. I don't know anything and I haven't seen anything. If you want to take her away, just do whatever you want."
Lin Xu replied calmly, it wasn't that he didn't want to save anyone, but he really didn't want to take the risk, especially since Ruolan was still with him.
The two men in black looked at each other, with a cold and fierce light in their eyes!
"Boy, if you want to blame me, I blame you for memorizing words today!"
One of the men in black shouted, raised his steel knife and rushed towards Lin Xu!
"well!"
Lin Xu sighed deeply, took out the repeating crossbow, raised his hand and fired an arrow!
"Whoosh!"
The arrow shot through the air and shot directly into the neck of the man in black!
He didn't say a word, fell to the ground on his back, and died!
