Nongmen medical incense: pastoral prosperity

Chapter 226 Giant Snake Xiaobai (1)
Shaking his head, Zhang Shuman didn't doubt the dog-legged appearance of the innkeeper.If the person who poisoned him also had a share as the innkeeper, it would be impossible for the other party to be so enthusiastic, and it is even more impossible for him to have no guilt at all.

Eyes are a person's windows, presumably, the shopkeeper of this inn doesn't even know about it.

"Yes, yes, the master reminded you, everyone, don't be in a hurry to eat. Check everything, so as not to have a will." The innocent old man nodded in agreement, unconditionally supporting Zhang Shuman's proposal.

Be careful to make the Wannian ship, and sure enough, after inspection, there are still some pastries and wine that have seeped into the water.All of them are deadly poisons. It seems that the other party is really cruel and vows to make everyone a disaster.It's a pity that one thing has been overlooked, that is the existence of Zhang Shuman and the innocent old man.

Under the watchful eyes of the two originators of medicine and poison, playing with poison is nothing but foolishness.

Seeing that all the packed food had been dealt with, Sanwa frowned with some reluctance.These are all money, a meat bun, but it costs three copper coins.Those exquisite pastries cost ten copper coins each.Don't want all of them, how much money will it cost.

Most importantly, without these things, wouldn't everyone be hungry at noon.

"Sister, what do we have for lunch?"

"That's right, I can't eat these things, and everyone is still hungry. I can't make it on the road. Looking at the distance, there are still mountains and hills. If you want to find a home or an inn, you can't count on it."

After Sanwa's reminder, Liu Zhu'er also thought of something.Wangshan ran dead horses, looking at the high mountains rising from the ground, even if he rushed to the sky, he might not meet people.Subconsciously shifted his gaze to Zhang Shuman, and asked Zhang Shuman's next plan with his eyes.

During the few days of getting along, everyone got used to letting Zhang Shuman grasp ideas and make decisions before they knew it.

"It's okay, there are still a few pots in the carriage, and I will go down to the river to catch some fish later. Cook some fish soup, and hunt some wild animals for cooking. In addition, there is rice in the carriage, just cook porridge. Erya You and Chunyu look around and pick some edible mushrooms and fungus. Uncle, you send someone to get more dry firewood for cooking."

Almost everyone present has some skills, and Zhang Shuman is not worried about not having these dry food.Everyone had to be hungry on the way, and when they rolled their eyes, they immediately had an idea.

After assigning the task, Zhang Shuman took a bamboo basket and went to the river with Sanwa to catch fish.As for hunting, this time I will leave it to Xu Zhiguang, who is eager to try, and the accompanying guards.The innocent old man really wanted to follow, but it was a pity that he was temporarily assigned to protect everyone from enemy attacks.

"Look, elder sister, there are a lot of fish in the water, but they are all very small." Excitedly walking to the river, Sanwa soon saw a school of fish swimming freely in the river.But unfortunately, the water stream in this hill is not deep, and it is too clear.So the fish in the water are small fish, only two fingers wide at most.

"It's okay, these are called silver thread fish. Although they are a bit small, they are good for making soup. Not only are they delicious and sweet, but they are also nutritious. Drinking more protein can nourish the brain and grow the body."

With the previous swimming experience, Zhang Shuman didn't waste any more time this time.Instead of cutting the tip of the bamboo to catch fish, the bamboo basket is placed directly in the water.A drop of spiritual spring water dripped into the bamboo basket, and in an instant, under Sanwa's astonished eyes.The school of fish in the river seemed to be crazy, and consciously squeezed into the bamboo basket desperately.

Seeing Sanwa dumbfounded, she couldn't believe what she saw.

I never knew that catching fish can be so simple, without any effort.The fish took the bait on their own initiative and rushed into the bamboo basket.

Looking up to meet the confident eyes of the eldest sister, the admiration in Sanwa's eyes suddenly became hotter.Big sister is worthy of being a big sister, there is nothing she can't do.Even catching fish is much easier than everyone else.

"Big sister is the most powerful, there are so many fish, the bamboo basket is too crowded to fit." Looking at the basket full of silver fish, Sanwa said excitedly.

"Well, it's almost time to cook the soup. Let's go back. Sanwa must be a little hungry. I'll give you this bunch of grapes as a reward. Let's pad my stomach first."

Anyway, there were no outsiders here, so Zhang Shuman conjured a bunch of purple and blackened grapes out of thin air and handed them to Sanwa.He took another bunch by himself, holding a bamboo basket full of fish in one hand, and ate it leisurely first.

"Thank you, big sister is the best."

Knowing that the things conjured up by the eldest sister are rare and high-grade, and she is used to eating them, the third baby is not polite.He took a large bunch of grapes and happily gnawed on them.

"Ah, where did Schumann get so many live fish?" Liu Zhuer's eyes widened when she saw the basket full of small whitebait in Zhang Shuman's hand.

The maids were also dumbfounded, and it didn't take long after calculating.How difficult it is to catch fish in this river, no one knows, they are very ghostly.Everyone looked at Zhang Shuman in surprise and curiosity.

"What, it was beaten with a bamboo basket."

A simple perfunctory sentence, although what was said was the truth, but in the end, few people believed this fact.

Soon, everyone came back with a fruitful harvest, and Xu Zhiguang was good at archery.In a short period of time, a roe deer, as well as several hares and pheasants were hunted down.Together, it is enough for everyone to enjoy.Erya and Chunmei also picked up a lot of fresh shiitake mushrooms and ears. Although it is autumn, the humidity in the nearby mountains is relatively heavy.Therefore, there are a lot of fungi growing.

For the lunch meal, although the wait was a bit longer, it was still a good meal.

When the sun was setting, everyone was lucky enough to come across a small mountain village.There are not many people in the village, but they are warm and hospitable.Everyone doesn't choose, just settle down.

It may be that they live in the mountains, but everyone found that there seem to be a lot of snakes in the village.After inquiring, I found out that this village is actually called Shehuan Village.The villagers do not respect the ghosts and gods in the sky, but the snake god.According to the old man in the village, it is said that there is a spirited snake spirit hidden in the deep mountains.

As long as every New Year's Eve, every family goes to the Snake Temple and offers a live chicken.It can keep everyone safe for a year. As long as you don't take the initiative to attract snakes, snakes in the mountains will never bite people.

Listening to every word the villagers said, no one said anything.Just curious, but everyone just stayed for one night, and they will leave tomorrow morning, but they didn't think about the truth of the facts.Furthermore, everyone is not prepared to recruit these snakes in the mountains.

Everyone is safe and sound, no matter which great god the villagers respect.It's just that everyone never thought that they didn't take the initiative to recruit these snakes, but some people couldn't see everyone living comfortably.They insisted on killing people, and it just so happened that the other party used these ferocious snakes.

Unknowingly, the bright moon hangs quietly, just at the beginning of the dead of night.

Accompanied by the noisy insects, a strange Xiao sound suddenly sounded on the mountain.Intermittently, it makes people have goosebumps and can't help the urge to go out.What's even more strange is that, following the sound of Xiao Xiao, the poisonous snake in the mountain seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit.
