Chapter 20 Misfortunes Do Not Come Alone (2)
Ding Duofu was also anxious and scratched his head for a long time, and suddenly said, "I remember something!"
"What?" Mei asked anxiously.
"Soul Grass!" But as soon as he finished speaking, Ding Duofu hit himself again, "I'm stupid. No one has seen that thing for decades. Where can I find it now!"
There are famous grass souls on Xining Mountain, which are said to be able to cause dead people to have flesh and bones.
Of course, there are always exaggerated elements in this legend. The effects of Soul Grass may not be that magical, but it is indeed a special medicine. And it is indeed growing on Xining Mountain. It is just missing a few decades ago. Now even the most experienced medicinal farmers cannot find them.
Ding Duofu just said casually in anxiety, and he didn't expect to find the soul grass in his heart. But Xiaojiu heard it in his ears.
Ye Kui seemed to sleep and woke up, but her forehead was still hot and scary.
"After I was pouring this medicine, I didn't improve at all, and my mind was so confused. If it really didn't work, I'd better go up the mountain to find it." Ding Duofus thought about it and couldn't do it, and suddenly this sentence came out.
Mei, who was originally a little sleepy because she could not sleep at night, woke up immediately and shouted in a low voice: "What soul grass? You just saw it once when you were as old as Xiao Shu. How can you remember clearly? Where can you go now? Leave your destiny to do your best. If God really wants to take her there, there is nothing we can do."
When she said this, Xiaojiu was standing at the door holding the medicine that Chi Po had decocted.
He walked in quietly, handed the medicine bowl to Mei and watched her feed Ye Kui. Seeing that he had finished taking a bowl of medicine, Xiaojiu felt relieved. Although he was asleep, the medicine could still be fed. If it was time to be unable to feed the medicine, it would be impossible to make the medicine go.
Because of Ye Kui's affairs, everyone was tired and tired. After eating, they went home and went home, while those who were kept kept continued to guard Ye Kui. After the discussion was made, Mei really couldn't hold on, so she decided to go home to rest for a night and come to guard it tomorrow morning. She should have moved the person back, but Mei had her own little girl in her heart. If she really couldn't save her, it would be unlucky to die in her own house...
So since Chi Po didn't mention it, she didn't mention it. Ding Duofu talked to her several times behind his back, but she used her words to make excuses.
Walking out of the yard, a gust of wind blew, Mei trembled and hugged Chunxi beside her, "I said it was going to change the weather, so that you would wear more clothes, but I wouldn't listen. What would be better if I got the wind and cold?"
"Sister-in-law, Xiao Yezi is better?" Zhu Gang walked over with a bag.
Mei shook her head and sighed, "It's still the same, there's no improvement at all. But the injury on her legs has healed."
Zhu Gang sighed and said, "It's up to me that I didn't look down on the dog, otherwise this little leaf wouldn't be hurt."
"How can you blame me? If it weren't for Chunxi, how could such a thing happen?"
"Not!" Ding Duofu heard Zhu Gang talking to Mei inside, and then came out, "If something really happens to Xiao Yezi, I will never be at ease in my life. The good child is broken in our hands..." After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled Mei to go home quickly, "Go back quickly, it will be dark in the future, and the road is not easy to walk."
When Mei's figure disappeared, Ding Duofu pulled Zhu Gang aside and whispered: "Brother Zhu, do you still remember the soul grass?"
"Soul Grass?" Zhu Gang pondered for a while, "Didn't that thing disappear decades ago?"
Ding Duofu nodded and said, "I said that, but is there anyone who can say it correctly? I thought that if I couldn't do it, I went into the mountain to search. Even if it was really gone, I felt more comfortable."
Zhu Gang thought about this and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
After saying that, Xiaojiu also came out and wanted to follow him.
Ding Duofu naturally refused, but Zhu Gang thought that he followed his father up the mountain to catch snakes and hunt when he was seven or eight years old, and it was nothing to ask Xiaojiu to follow him. Now that time is tight, he patted his chest and said, "Come on, don't argue with you two, go together."
Zhu Gang is the best hunter in the village and is familiar with the terrain of Xining Mountain. Ding Duofu agreed after hearing this.
Early in the morning, the three of them went up the mountain.
Taohua Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, Xining Mountain is the highest, and the terrain is the most complex. The three of them walked for a while and stopped. Going further forward, there are deep mountains, snakes, insects and wild animals hidden inside, and the people at the foot of the mountain dare not approach. Zhu Gang took a breath and turned around and said, "Forget it, I can't find it, go back."
Several people started to go back and forth, but because they didn't find anything, they were feeling a little depressed.
After leaving for a while, when he was about to go down the mountain, Ding Duofu turned his head and wanted to instruct Xiaojiu to be careful of his feet, but was shocked!
Behind him is empty!
Where is Xiaojiu still there?
Xiaojiu is gone!
When the news came, Mei's legs became weak and she could no longer stand.
Ding Duofu's face was as beautiful as earth, "It's all my fault!"
"Duofu..." Zhu Gang called him embarrassedly when he heard this. At that time, Ding Duofu didn't want Xiaojiu to go up the mountain, because he thought he wanted to take people there. Now something happened, how could he get rid of it? Thinking of this, he secretly felt grateful in his heart, thanks to Xiaojiu being just a child taken in by the Ding family.
Soon, the sky became gloomy and it immediately rained heavily.
Ding Duofu and Zhu Gang called out several men from the village and entered the mountain again in straw raincoats.
Only this time, the wind and rain were strong, the feet were slippery, and it was difficult to move forward.
Zhu Gang finally couldn't help but say, "Duofu, it's just a child I picked up, it's okay if I can't find it. It's all fate."
"I didn't think of this," Ding Duofu panted, "In order to save my family, Chunxi, the little girl is still lying on the bed, and her brother is lost in the mountains. What do you think of the rest? Besides, I am really sorry. No matter what, it's all two lives."
Several people gathered together and walked carefully into the mountains, but the weather was too bad, and they couldn't see clearly in the places where the trees were dense, so they had to pay attention to avoid being touched by mountain snakes. It was really difficult to find a way.
Later, I couldn't continue this journey.
Zhu Gang sighed and said, "There is no way to continue looking for it today."
Several people on the mountain were stalemate, but Ye Kui finally woke up in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. When she woke up, Mei was staring at the outside worriedly, waiting for them to return from Xining Mountain. So Ye Kui asked for several sounds of water in a hoarse voice before she came to her senses. She fed her water in a hurry, and a smile appeared on Mei's face. But not long after, the smile was covered by depression.
