Chapter 10 Chapter Nine: Fallen Money Golden Toad

Ever since I felt the pulse of the ugly queen Erya that day, and said that her ugly face could still be healed, Wang Erya has been running to my house every three days, graciously helping me with some housework. Of course, I understand Wang Erya's intentions. Who wouldn't be sad if a big girl had such an ugly face?If there is no hope at all, that's all. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she is naturally unwilling to let it go. Although she knew Wang Erya's intentions, she felt a little embarrassed.This Ghost Faced Snake Gu is different from other toxins, I have the recipe, but the ingredients are really hard to find.In the afternoon of this day, Wang Erya came to look for me again, so I invited her to sit in a medicine dispensing room next to me, and sighed: "Of course I know what big sister thinks, it's just the medicine for your face. Now I don't have enough..."

"It's okay, I can wait slowly!" Wang Erya hurriedly said, "Doctor Xu, I'm not in a hurry." "Big girl, that's not what I mean." I hurriedly said, "I'd like to go to the mountains to collect herbs recently. First, it's for my face. Second, I also need some spare medicines at home, but I don't worry about grandma. , So, I would like to ask you to take care of it." As I spoke, I sighed again, "Grandma is getting old, it's best if you can move here and stay with her for a few days, waiting for me to come back..." "I have to go back and discuss this with my parents!" Wang Erya said with a slight hesitation on her face, but said quickly.

"Okay!" I hurriedly nodded and said, such things, naturally I have to let Erya discuss with her parents. But to my surprise, at noon the next day, Erya's mother, with a loud voice, brought Erya with her, and said to me with a smile: "Don't worry, Doctor Xu, don't say that you went to the mountains to collect herbs for my family's second son." Even if the girl has such an ugly face, she should take care of the old man. Our family has always been crowded with people, so there is no difference between the second girl, so let her accompany the old man!"

I thanked you again and again, the loud voice was not bad except for the harshness of the mouth.So, the second girl stayed at my house for the time being, and stayed with grandma on the bed outside.Er Yatou's house has many people and little land, but my house is notoriously big, with empty houses and few people... I told the second girl a few words, cleaned up that night, and went out early the next morning. If you want to heal the ghost-faced snake gu on Er Yatou's face, you need a special thing - silkworm potatoes!This is a rather strange medicine, even with some toxicity. I saw it once when I went to the mountains to collect medicine a few years ago, but it was just because I didn’t need it, and all these medicines were born on steep cliffs, so there was no need to take risks. to pick.Now, instead of Er Yatou's face, I prepare another blind medicine, and I also need this thing as a medicine primer, so I have to take a risk.

After entering the mountain for a few days, the harvest was quite fruitful. The few herbs that they wanted to pick had already been picked, and they even picked a golden thread orchid by accident.In the evening of this day, I finally climbed Goutou Mountain. The top of this mountain looks a bit like a dog’s head, so it was named Goutou Mountain by the local residents. Although it is not elegant, it is still image. If I remember correctly, the silkworm potatoes grow on the back of Goutou Mountain, and there is only a steep mountain road on the back. Now that it is getting late, I can't help frowning. The neighborhood is very remote, so naturally there is no place to stay. Ya, it's really dangerous.

I looked at the sun in the sky. A round of red sun in spring, like rouge, gradually sank down the mountain. I gritted my teeth, thinking that even if the sun goes down, it will take a while before it gets dark, so hurry up to pick it. After eating silkworm potatoes that day, it is important to find a place to stay overnight. So, I took out the medicine shovel, climbed the steep mountain road, and was about to go down... Suddenly, the setting sun was reflected in the originally green grass, and a golden light dazzled the eyes.Curious in my heart, I couldn't help but diverted the narrow path, grabbed some shrubs on the hillside with one hand, and climbed towards the golden light.

"Ah..." When I saw the golden color in the grass clearly reflecting the sun, I almost didn't exclaim. This is—could this be the golden toad that dropped money recorded in the Qingsang Sutra? In the grass, there is a big golden toad squatting. Toad is a common animal in mountainous areas. Whenever it rains in summer, it makes a lot of noise under the stream and rice fields.However, ordinary toads are drab and ugly, and even have nasty pustules on their bodies. Of course, these pustules on the toad's body are poisonous and can also be used as medicine. Generally speaking, this toad is not a pleasing animal, but the toad in front of me is very beautiful, covered in a golden coat...

catch it?As soon as I thought about it, I wanted to pounce on it, but then my whole body broke out in cold sweat—just less than two steps away from the Golden Toad, there was a small emerald green snake that blended with the color of the grass. Leaning back, staring at the falling money golden toad... That little snake is definitely not big, but my vest was soaked in cold sweat in an instant, and I didn't even dare to move. The golden toad is certainly a rare medicine, and that little green snake, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Zhuyeqing, who claims to be extremely poisonous. I dare not move.After looking at it for a while, I was full of suspicion. Could it be that such a snake, which is only as thick as a finger, actually wanted to swallow the big golden toad that fell into its belly?

I know that snakes can swallow things that are many times larger than themselves, but is this too exaggerated?I know that the wisest thing I can do now is to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, and picking herbs is the right way, but I still can't bear to part with that golden toad... I took a step back cautiously, firmly holding the medicine shovel as a weapon with one hand, and firmly grasping a shrub tree with the other hand to stabilize my figure.Just as I was backing away, the Golden Toad flashed a golden light, and suddenly rushed towards the little blue snake. Like lightning!This is the only adjective I can describe, and the next scene was beyond my expectation.For a long time, it is not uncommon for a snake to eat a toad, but it is too weird for a toad to eat a snake!

I widened my eyes, and couldn't believe the scene I saw in front of me. The whole head of the green snake was in Luoqian Jinchan's mouth, while the body was still outside the toad's body, struggling desperately—this scene was really weird And scary. Luoqian Jinchan stretched his neck twice, swallowed the whole green snake, then turned around, staring at me with scarlet eyes. I was so horrified by it, I didn't dare to move, although I wanted to catch it to dispense medicine, but with its speed just now, can I catch it?What's more, it even swallowed the poisonous Zhuyeqing. The poison contained in it is beyond my imagination. Now I just beg it not to bite me.

Why didn't the bloody green sac mending technique mention the rare and highly poisonous golden toad? Golden toad, cinnamon, winter wheat, golden thread orchid... can dissolve putrefaction and promote muscle growth, and is a good medicine for treating sores and detoxification. The Golden Toad staring at me for a while, suddenly a golden light flashed, then disappeared into the grass and disappeared instantly.Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, feeling the chill on my vest, and the mountain wind blowing, my whole body was chilled, and I was so scared by a toad just now that I broke out in a cold sweat, I was considered incompetent. But after thinking about it, such a weird animal is really not easy to provoke.It's a pity that the Qingsang Sutra only records the usage of this golden toad, but not how to catch it. When I go back this time, I have to look through the books to see how to catch this poisonous animal. It will be useful in the future Then one day. I also climbed back along the bushes again, followed the trails in the mountains, quickened my pace, and rushed to pick the silkworm potatoes of the day, but was disturbed by the golden toad, and the sun had already set.At this time, the sky is full of sunset glow, gorgeous and colorful.
