"Wait a minute. I'll make you a cup of honey water first. You just woke up and you can't eat meat yet..."
I was startled for a moment, then said happily.
Gu Xia must have woken up from her coma after smelling the aroma of braised pork.
She feels hungry, which is definitely a good sign.
This means her condition has improved.
The coma and vomiting blood greatly consumed her physical strength.
If she has no appetite at all, then the situation is not good.
I first made a cup of honey water for Gu Xia with boiling water.
Then beat three eggs, steam the egg custard, and drizzle with a little sesame oil.
She finished the egg custard quickly, her complexion finally improved a little, and her eyes were clear.
At this time, she took one look at the Miao girl's clothes and her expression suddenly changed.
"I didn't change it for you, but a kind-hearted grandma found a set of girls' clothes to change it for you."
I hurriedly explained.
Gu Xia made a joke and quickly found a topic, saying: "I had a dream yesterday, and a young doctor saved me. It seems that this is not a dream... but a reality."
"It's not a dream. You woke up from a convulsion last night and talked to me. You said your name was Gu Xia."
I said.
Gu Xia was not a shy girl. She was stunned for a moment, laughed to herself, and said: "So that's it. I was just thinking about why your name is so familiar. It turns out that we have talked. Haha... we are making trouble again.
It was a joke.”
Chatted with her for a few words.
I know she is two years older than me and is eighteen years old.
In her words.
She is an adult and can make her own decisions.
And her father hasn't been home for many years.
She learned from the adults in her family that her father had gone to a place called Poison Mountain in western Hunan, so she went there alone and desperately searched for him.
Hearing this, I thought something bad might have happened to her father.
However, considering her condition, I did not tell her.
"Miss Gu, how did you meet Mayunfeng?" I asked again.
Gu Xia coughed and said, "Many of the mountains here look the same. I got lost in a mountain and wandered around for a few days. In a cave, I found a pregnant female corpse.
.”
"She and her unborn child had a strong grudge. I rescued her and wanted to free her unborn child. Unexpectedly, a short man in black attacked me. I think he should be the Ma Yunfeng you mentioned.
.”
"This Mayunfeng is really vicious."
"I don't know what's going on. Sometimes I'm in a coma and sometimes I'm awake. It's like I'm having an extremely long dream."
My heart skipped a beat. The female corpse Gu Xia encountered must be Guo Caiwei.
Gu Xia underestimated the complexity and danger of the mountains, and it was normal to get lost.
After saying so much in one breath, she was breathless again.
"You were poisoned by the poisonous miasma of the Nine Color Gu and the poison of the Silver Snake Gu. The poisonous miasma of the Nine Color Gu is easy to cure, and I also forced the Silver Snake Gu out."
"However, if you don't remove the poison left by the silver snake vood within seven days, you will still die."
I had no intention of hiding it from her.
"How many days has passed now?"
she asked.
"Six and a half days left!"
I said.
"Young doctor Dongsheng, if I can't survive, please tell me. I must seize the last six and a half days to go to Poison Mountain to find my father."
She didn't care at all about her own life or death.
I told my decision last night: "I am going to take you to Poison Mountain to find the antidote. This trip is very dangerous. But if I go alone, I am afraid that I will not have enough time."
Speaking out, I feel a little uneasy.
Gu Xia smiled and said calmly: "Just in time. You take me with you. Maybe I'm lucky enough to find my father. You have found the antidote. It seems that we must go on this trip."
"
"Hey, if I hadn't lost the pocket that held the talisman paper, I would have been more confident. It's a pity that Ma Yunfeng took it away."
She sighed.
"Okay, today and tomorrow, you have a good rest. We will leave early the day after tomorrow."
I said to her.
To go to Poison Mountain, you must be well prepared.
Those who are suitable for thousands of miles gather food in the third month.
It took two days to prepare, which was very urgent.
"Girl, I have washed your Taoist robe for you. There are some areas stained with blood that cannot be washed away. I also brought you two sets of replacement clothes."
The third grandmother gave the clothes to Gu Xia.
"Grandma, thank you very much. I lost my wallet, and I will definitely give you the money in the future."
Gu Xia said sincerely.
The third grandma smiled and said, "Well, you must get better and live a good life. Don't let the bad guys succeed."
After hearing my decision, Long Youshui was silent for a while and said, "Dongsheng, I will go to Dushan with you."
"Uncle, it's not convenient for Gu Xia to walk. Please help me take her to the outskirts of Dushan Mountain, so she doesn't have to follow us into Dushan Mountain."
I thought for a while and said to Long Youshui.
Long Youshui nodded.
I will bring the jars of the natal Gu and the golden silkworm Gu, and the poisonous insects to feed them on my back. If there are not enough, I can catch them on the road.
He also put some possible medicinal materials into the medicine box.
Next, I have to prepare dry food for nearly twenty days.
Once you get lost after entering the mountains, water may be easy to find, but food is different.
No matter how many times you enter the mountains, you must always be in awe of them.
I thought about it and packed another bag of salt. If I really got lost and ran out of dry food, catching wild animals and picking wild fruits, without salt, I would lose strength.
I built five more stoves, put medicine jars on them, and boiled the decoction that could relieve Gu Xia's nine-color poison into pills.
Just take the pills regularly every day.
"Young young man Dongsheng, what do you want to use this lightning strike wood for? If it is idle, I would like to spend 10,000 yuan to buy it. However, I have to make an agreement first. I owe the money first. I am not only a talisman bag
If it is lost, so is the wallet. Don’t worry, I will definitely return it to you in the future. Including your consultation fees and medical expenses. I will give them to you."
Gu Xia saw the lightning striking the tree and showed joy.
Ten thousand dollars.
I couldn't help but click my tongue. I only charge ten yuan for a consultation.
He gritted his teeth and lent Makizi four hundred yuan.
She asked for 10,000 yuan, which was really generous.
"I can give it to you. When the spring thunder next year, I can still find the peach tree struck by lightning."
I said with a smile.
This lightning-strike log was picked up from in front of a toad hole.
It was only used to defeat Guo Wushou, and was never used again after that.
"No. I bought it. I lost a lot of talismans, so I need a mahogany sword to defend myself. Don't worry, I, Gu Xia, keep my word. I will definitely return the ten thousand yuan to you."
Gu Xia looked at me sincerely.
I nodded and said, "Okay."
She drew what a mahogany sword looked like.
I asked the craftsmen in the village to help me make a peach wood sword. I also drilled a hole in the hilt and tied it with red tassels. I also used scraps to make thirty-three peach wood nails.
Two days passed by in a blink of an eye, after all the preparations were completed.
