Chapter 38 Detoxification
  The man saw a man flying down from the mountain and swung the whip in his hand.

Shen Jia dodged his attack in a flash.

The man's whip struck again, and it was particularly sharp. With a sound of breaking through the air, Shen Jia staggered, reached out to grab his whip, and pulled it hard. The man did somersaults in the air, and his fist contained internal strength. , wrapped in gusts of strong wind, roared out, Shen Jia's body as light as a swallow moved, and cleverly dodged.

The whip in his hand was swung at the man.

The whip seemed to grow on Shen Jia's body, with flexible whipping techniques and a light posture.

The man's eyes were red, and he moved quickly to avoid Shen Jia's whip, and hit Shen Jia with his fist like an afterimage.

Shen Jia nimbly dodged and followed the man with the whip, hitting the man's flesh. The sound of "pop, crack, crack!" resounded throughout the mountain col.

After Shen Jia performed Qinggong and left, Shen Hao also walked quickly down the mountain. His initial worry, then his excitement, slowly turned into appreciation. He didn't expect that his sister's skills were so good.

That man was also very capable, and he was beaten so hard by his sister that he ran away with his head in his arms.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat Shen Jia, the man jumped in the air, two feet away from her, and asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you can't escape today." After Shen Jia finished speaking, he used his inner strength to remove the leaves in his hand.

"Swipe" shot at him. Before the man could dodge, he stared at Shen Jia with wide eyes in disbelief. He fell to the ground and passed out.

"Brother, can you search what he has on him?" After Shen Jia finished speaking, he went to check on the person who fell on the ground.

These people were severely malnourished, extremely poisoned, their breath was weak, and they were already on the verge of life and death.

Shen Hao touched him again and found out several banknotes and a small porcelain bottle.

"Sister, this is the small porcelain bottle found on him."

Shen Jia opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, smelled it carefully, and found that it was not an antidote.

"Brother, these people are extremely poisoned. If we don't save them, they may die. Now only Cuiyuncao can save them, do you think?" Shen Jia glanced at Cuiyuncao reluctantly and asked.

The detoxifying pill that Shen Jia had practiced before was not that effective in detoxifying several poisons on their bodies.

Shen Jia guessed that Dr. Lin might have used them to study poisons. He first poisoned them with one kind of poison, and then suppressed them with another powerful poison. Magistrate Meng used them to dig gold mines, and the two of them worked together, making them unhappy. People, ghost or not, live.

"Use it, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Although Shen Hao was reluctant to part with the Green Cloud Grass, he couldn't help but watch them die.

"Okay! You come and open their mouths, and I'll squeeze out the concoction. I'll try my best to squeeze out every green cloud grass, and try to take some back to practice the detoxification pill."

"it is good."

Shen Hao squatted on the ground and opened their mouths. Milky white concoction dripped into their mouths, and a sweet taste floated in the air.

Shen Hao sniffed and praised: "It smells so good! The green cloud grass is as fragrant as the exotic fruit."

Shen Jia glanced at the dwindling number of green cloud grasses with pain: "I don't know if I will be able to find such a good detoxifying herb in the future."

"It's hard to say that spiritual fruits and herbs are all rare." Shen Hao sighed.

"Even so, I don't know how many people that Doctor Lin has harmed. Next time I see him, I will definitely skin him." Shen Jia was heartbroken about the antidote and even resented Doctor Lin. Shen Hao couldn't bear to let Shen Jia feel sad, so he quickly changed the subject, "Sister, what should I do with that person?"

"He is still useful for the time being, so I will keep him for now, but I will destroy his martial arts, break off one of his hamstrings, and send him down when Magistrate Meng steps down." Shen Jia said calmly.

"Well, this person is not a good person. To say that Magistrate Meng ignored the laws of the court and took human lives for his own selfish desires. This person is his minion, working as a talisman and aiding the evil. He is a heinous villain."

"Yes, if we had arrived a little later, these twenty-some people would have been gone. Even if we detoxify them now, their dilapidated bodies will take a long time to recover, otherwise they won't survive long."

These people are just like paper figures, and they don’t know if they can return home alive.

"Sister, don't be sad. They were going to be poisoned today. Now that you have rescued them, they have earned it as long as they can live."

"Brother, how can you be so comforting?"

"What do others have to do with me?" Shen Hao said arrogantly.

Shen Jia didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, someone woke up at this time.

Shen Jia put away the remaining green cloud grass, then approached the person who woke up and asked, "Are you awake? How do you feel now?"

"I don't feel as tired and powerless as before. Did you save us?" He clearly remembered that the steward said that they would definitely die today, but now he is alive, and even the heavy and tired feeling in his body is gone.

"Well, we helped you detoxify." Shen Jia didn't have the consciousness to do good deeds without leaving a name. It was a fact that she saved them, so why should she hide it.

At this time, people woke up one after another. Shen Jia took their pulses and told them their current physical condition and the prescriptions for their recovery.

"Thank you two gentlemen for saving your life!" More than twenty people knelt down and kowtowed.

This scene was a bit shocking, Shen Jia and Shen Hao looked at each other.

"There is no need to be polite. It is a doctor's duty to save lives and heal the wounded. But I have a question for you. Please answer it truthfully."

"Sir, may I ask, as long as we know everything, we will definitely tell you everything we know."

"Where are you from and why are you here?"

A group of people started talking at once.

Twelve of them were from the Rongren mountain village. The first ones to come in were the two sons of Patriarch Lu. They were brought in from the cave after being given Mongolian sweat medicine and Ruanjin powder. After entering, they were fed a poison. It's Grandpa Lu's two sons and other men in the village.

Thirteen of them were from Qingxi Village, which was located south of Yixian County and only twenty miles away from the county seat. They went to work at the landlord's house in the county seat during the off-season, and were deceived into coming here. The man lied to them and said that he could earn two taels of silver a month to collect herbs in the mountains. This salary was three times their usual salary. They were attracted by this, and more than a dozen people were deceived.

Those who came in were poisoned, and they were threatened not to escape, otherwise their relatives would be brought in as well.

They are all honest farmers, and they don't dare to think about it if they are frightened by others.

Another reason was that the person who was looking after them was very skilled in martial arts and a group of them couldn't beat him. Slowly, they gave up thinking of escaping. I just hope that after digging the gold mine here, that person will have a conscience and detoxify them, and let them go home safely.
