"So you're hungry?!" After hearing the words of the old man with a white beard, everyone smiled immediately. It happened to be lunch time, so they arranged meals and ate with the old man who called himself "Peng Jinhu".
The white-bearded old man Peng said that he was a traveling trader. Everyone observed that although he was over seventy years old, he was physically strong and at least a strong man in the red realm. No wonder he drifted a lot when the passenger ship encountered rough waves on the river, hurricanes and floods capsized it.
God is still lucky to survive.
Peng Jinhu, an old man, is quite interesting. He doesn't talk much at the dinner table, but he eats a lot. In the blink of an eye, Tianlin used the biggest bowl to refill him seven or eight times of rice. If it weren't for Guan Heng and the others, they wouldn't have eaten too slowly.
The food on the table was almost wiped away by the other party.
Ruotao muttered next to him: "Good guy, apart from Young Master and Brother Agou, this is the first time I've seen such an eatable person."
Shang Tianlin said expressionlessly at this time: "In addition to the Ghost Swallowing Tiger and the others, there seem to be three rice buckets walking on two legs on the boat..."
"Pfft -" Guan Hengwen almost spat out a mouthful of food after hearing this. He said angrily: "You, can you please stop saying such things when I am eating? Otherwise, I will either choke to death or be choked to death."
Choked to death."
"Hey, you can do it yourself, are you afraid of other people's comments?" Tian Lin said with a bad smile: "Huh, a big appetite is not an unspeakable problem."
"Uh... I'm ashamed." At this moment, Peng Jinhu, who had eaten so much, finally put down his job. He chuckled and said, "I've been rude and hungry for a few days, and the most important thing is,
That’s because the food you cooked was so delicious, and eating it in such a hurry made everyone laugh.”
"No laughter, no laughter." Shang Tianlin shook her head at this moment and said: "Grandpa Peng, you don't know, this kind of eating attitude appears in my two brothers almost every time, and Ruotao and I have long been accustomed to it.
"
After listening to Tianlin's teasing words, Guan Heng and Agou both looked at each other and smiled intelligently, then immersed themselves in eating without making any excuses.
At this moment, Ruotao slapped her hands and Huo stood up: "I'm here to see how hard you guys are eating. I even forgot to bring porridge and water to Brother Bi. He was dizzy after being poisoned, so he could only drink it."
Porridge, I'll go first..."
Hearing this, the white-bearded old man Peng Jinhu suddenly blinked and asked: "Why, are there still poisoned patients on your ship?"
"Yes." The outspoken Shang Tianlin rushed to say at this time: "The poison in Brother Bi is so powerful that he can only suppress it by drinking the blood that Brother Guan took after catching the giant flounder every day.
It’s just a toxin.”
"So powerful?!" Peng Jinhu frowned and said, "We need to use the blood of giant spearfish to suppress the spread of poison. Could it be that it is the poison of monsters in the water?"
"Oh, I didn't expect that your old man is also a great expert in detoxification." Guan Heng said at this time: "Yes, the person who poisoned did claim that the poison in our friend was a strange poison contained in the monster in the water, but it was not just a single poison.
It’s a poisonous pill of more than a dozen toxins mixed together.”
"I see. If you don't mind, could you please let me take a look at all the noble friends who have been poisoned?"
Peng Jinhu smiled slightly at this moment and said: "I think I am somewhat sure about detoxification and identification of poisons, and I dare to assert that although your friend recently had severe poisoning, he... I'm afraid he won't be able to support it.
How long has it been?"
"It's not false at all. The old man has analyzed the other person's symptoms very well without even meeting him. I really admire him." Guan Heng slapped the table and stood up: "Then please go and see our friend.
."
"Easy to say, easy to say, I still have this rich meal in my life, so I have to repay you a favor or two." Peng Jinhu said politely, and then followed everyone to Bi Beiqi's cabin.
…
After a while, the old man with a white beard had already seen Bi Beiqi's condition in a coma. He pondered for a moment and then said immediately: "It's a little tricky. It seems that the poison pill he took was not just a mixture of more than a dozen toxins."
, it is difficult, difficult, difficult to cure it completely!”
Hearing Peng Jinhu say three words "difficult" in one breath, the faces of everyone present suddenly darkened.
But the old man with the white beard changed the subject and continued: "But I think you are all very capable, but I don't know if you are willing to risk your life for Brother Bi. If you are willing, he might
There is still a glimmer of hope.”
Hearing this, Guan Heng narrowed his eyes and asked slowly: "Old man, what do you mean by this?"
"I just looked at the east and west banks where your ship is now, and it happens to be not far from two nearby 'dangerous places'."
Peng Jinhu stroked his white beard at this moment and said: "One is the 'King of Flounder Bay', where there is a king of giant spears. Its heart... Needless to say, it is definitely a top-grade cure for the poison of monsters in the water."
Everyone's jaw dropped slightly after hearing this. The old man with a white beard paused for a moment and continued: "The other place is Beixiao Lake, a tributary of this river. There is a kind of aquatic plant in the center of the lake with a root of more than ten feet long.
The three-foot section at the end of the aquatic plant closest to the root is also a good remedy for treating strange poisons. As long as we find these two spiritual objects, plus the last one, I think I can prepare an antidote that can cure the strange poison."
Guan Heng asked: "But I don't know, what is the third kind?" Peng Jinhu twirled his beard and said: "This kind is very common, just cut off an ancient branch that is more than a hundred years old."
"Ancient branches? I have ready-made ones here!" Guan Heng turned around and ran back to his room. After taking something, he quickly returned in the blink of an eye, put it on the table and said, "This is a piece of 'Baizhang Zi'
A small cut of the tree must be over a hundred years old, do you think it is suitable for use?"
"Oh, Baizhangzi? It is said that this tree is extremely strong and difficult to cut down. I didn't expect you to have it..."
Having said this, the old man with a white beard picked up the object and looked at it carefully, and said: "Well, the quality is high, but now there are two spiritual objects missing. One is the Heart of the Giant Spear King Flounder, and the other is the water plant from Beixiao Lake.
What are your plans? But I have to make the pros and cons clear. Both sides are extremely dangerous places. People with ordinary abilities must not go there recklessly. I can't harm you."
"The Giant Spear King... I guess he is a troublesome guy." Guan Heng touched his chin and asked, "But what else can threaten us in Beixiao Lake? Isn't it just pulling out a waterweed?"
"Oh, you don't know something."
The white-bearded old man explained: "Although there are no strong monsters in the semi-black realm like the Giant Spear Fish King in Beixiao Lake, there is a group of crazy and violent 'Arrow Tail Monster Fish' living and wandering around. Those monster fish are not big in size.
, each one only has a light red color, but it is extremely ferocious. The water grass in the middle of the lake happens to be the nest of the demon fish." (To be continued.)
