C347 The Village Rested
There was an accident.
But there were also surprises.
For example, Xiao Yun had plucked a few stalks of grass on the mountain.
This kind of thing that was called Ghost Rattan Grass by the people of Sun Moon Country was actually a rare medicine!
As long as the rhizome was cut open, a type of white liquid would leak out.
Xiao Yun was also bored and felt that it was somewhat like rubber material.
He tasted it.
In the end, he tasted an unusual taste!
He was so scared that he almost fell off the carriage!
That was... the smell of the devil!
"Eh?" Old Man Ma was also shocked when he saw Xiao Yun's action.
"Young Master Xiao, how can you eat Ghost Vine Grass? This... This is something from the underworld. If you eat this, you will be able to see demons and devils, and you will even be captured by ghosts!"
The corner of Xiao Yun's eyes twitched a few times.
Then he nodded and said, "Yeah, I was a little reckless. I was wondering why this thing had such a name even though it had nothing to do with the Ghost Rattan. Now... I finally understand."
He immediately asked someone to check the area of the Ghost Rattan Grass.
He then asked the people of the Sun Moon Country merchant group and found out that Ghost Vine Grass was not common. Ordinary people treated it as poisonous weeds and did not pay attention to it at all.
Hearing this, he felt relieved.
As long as this thing was not used for medicine, there was still a chance to turn the situation around.
In his previous life, Xiao Yun had always heard a kind of discussion.
It said that nature hated humans.
Because there were many things in nature that had deep malice towards humans.
And the most malicious thing was this kind of thing!
It will delay people's pain. No matter how painful it is, whether it is physically or spiritually, it can control it!
It would also temporarily improve the human body's functions, allowing people to resist things like cold viruses.
But at the same time, its terrifying addiction, dependence, and destructive side effects were simply designed to kill intelligent creatures like humans!
This kind of malicious intent that came from heaven and earth, Xiao Yun did not think that he would be able to see it in this world.
He could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
But at the same time, he also got someone to get a lot of Ghost Rattan Grass.
Then, he didn't allow anyone to enter his carriage.
He gathered the white liquid inside.
Then, he would boil it into a paste and carefully put it in a bottle.
After that, he disposed of all the waste.
He placed the bottle in the deepest part of the box.
There were no signs.
As for why he left it behind?
Xiao Yun did not know either.
Perhaps it was because he wanted to wait for the typhoid to catch a cold, use some boiling water, or cough from toothache, or something else, he could also treat it.
Or perhaps...
When he was powerless to cure the disease, it could be used to stop the pain.
When a person was about to die, it did not matter if he ate it or not.
Along the way, they encountered bandits.
These bandits were really poor.
They didn't have much experience.
If it was an ordinary bandit, he would have fled far away the moment he saw Xiao Yun and his group. He wouldn't even have time to hide.
They kept moving forward.
They even waved the shabby weapons in their hands, showing off their might.
As for these bandits...
Xiao Yun didn't have a good impression of them.
Saying that they were simple and honest made them seem like idiots.
But when it came to kindness, it could not be considered at all.
To be more precise, these types of bandits did not follow the rules.
In order to make the surrounding people afraid, they could do anything cruel.
Killing people was still good!
There were many more things that went too far.
Moreover, just by looking at their weapons, as long as they hurt someone, that person would probably die.
They were all old and worn weapons with tetanus attributes. If they hurt someone, it would not be much different from killing them.
The only difference was that the other party would suffer even greater pain.
This group of fellows could even do something like eating a person!
"It's a good time to practice."
This was Xiao Yun's only opinion on this matter.
Whether it was the Hong family or the Molan Country, they all rushed forward in a short period of time. In just a short while, more than half of the bandits were gone.
The remaining half didn't care about their relationship at all. Each of them ran faster than anyone else.
Xiao Yun didn't ask anyone to chase after them.
As long as they improved their memory, they wouldn't bother him.
Xiao Yun wouldn't bother with them.
After all, this was a matter of the Sun Moon Country. There was no need for him, a person from the Qin Country, to be anxious.
The group continued forward, and soon, they encountered a village.
To these fellows who had been walking in the wilderness for an unknown period of time.
A village was simply an oasis in the desert!
They rushed in and blocked all the roads.
The rest of them rushed into the village.
They controlled all the people in the village.
They thought that the people in the village would at least resist.
But in fact, they were quite hospitable.
They didn't even understand why the few people standing at the entrance of the village were doing this.
They were clearly very poor, yet they took out meat.
The little girl carried a plate and walked in front of Xiao Yun. She revealed the purest smile and offered the highest quality food in the village.
She was not very beautiful.
But she was absolutely cured.
Xiao Yun took a deep breath and smiled bitterly.
He waved his hand and let Badao come to his side. He said, "Bring a few people to hunt. There should be big prey in the nearby forest."
Badao was stunned. He said with difficulty, "Young Master, the snow has sealed the mountain. Where would the prey come from?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "They are just hiding, not disappearing. You have to be patient and search carefully. You will eventually find them."
Badao's eyes twitched a few times. He didn't dare to speak anymore and led the group out.
It should be said that his luck was not bad.
Not long after they left, they ran into a black bear!
Other people would be scared to death if they saw it, but Badao ran over excitedly. A single blade could bear a bear, and the outcome would be decided in one breath.
However, this also added an additional scar to Badao's body.
"Fortunately, I didn't fail the mission! My luck is really too good."
Badao became complacent when he returned.
However, Xiao Yun said, "This is not luck."
Badao did not understand.
He felt that this was luck.
He did not care about that and directly asked the villagers to help deal with the black bear. Such a huge bear was enough for the village to use for a long time.
Not to mention the thick fur, it could be teared and sold. It could also be made into bedding and used directly.
The meat couldn't be eaten directly.
It was too wasteful.
He needed to shave off all the fat in the meat, boil it into a pot of fat oil, and put it in the snow to wait for it to solidify.
This fat could save lives at a critical moment!
The remaining meat was also mostly made into dried meat. Only a small portion would be distributed to the other villagers. It was enough for everyone to satisfy their craving. If they wanted to eat meat to their fill... That could only be enjoyed by Xiao Yun and the others.
On this matter, the village's way of doing things was very strange.
Xiao Yun had so many subordinates under him. To be honest, if he let them eat freely, the black bear meat would be eaten up before everyone could even fill their stomachs.
However, other than Xiao Yun and Badao being given a large piece of meat, the rest of the meat was still handled according to the village's rules.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was indeed a little greedy.
However, the people did not forget that at the beginning, they took out the best food in the village to entertain these strangers.
So...
Was it generous or stingy?
Everyone was confused.
Badao, on the other hand, was the one who could not understand.
He even specially came over to ask Xiao Yun what was going on.
After Xiao Yun heard this, he smiled.
"This is the rule."
He said confidently.
Then he asked, "If you had a few acres of fertile land and planted something, suddenly a group of people rushed in and wanted to eat the food you planted, what would you do?"
"Of course it would be beating them up! Bird! That's my vegetables!" Badao's eyes widened.
Xiao Yun laughed.
"Actually, for this village, in the nearby forest, all the living creatures in it. It also belongs to them, the concept of territory. A village is like a country. Every inch of land that belonged to them was fought with the lives of their ancestors. So, even though the black bear was sent by you, the items belong to the village. "
"What... what kind of rule is this?" Wang Yao asked.
"This is the rule of the mountains. That's why they gave us so much, so they're still considered hospitable. They're very nice. You previously thought that it wasn't good, but it's because the rules you follow are different from the ones they follow. "
Badao nodded and shook his head.
"I seem to understand, but I also don't seem to understand..."
