Mo Jingchen was exhausted. He once suspected that the road into the village was so complicated, and it was normal for him to become paralyzed after walking too much.

Because I am really exhausted ...

The group of people walked through a steep and rugged mountain road, and suddenly a clear view appeared in front of them, and they saw a village in the distance.

There are mountains and rivers, clouds and mist lingering, birds singing and flowers fragrant, just like a fairyland on earth.

The farm is also very good, and it is a livable place with fertile soil and water.

Mo Jingchen immediately changed his inner view. If he could live in such picturesque scenery, it would be worthwhile to walk more mountain roads.

When the fellow guards saw the crystal clear river, they went in one after another to wash their faces, drink water, and relieve the heat.

A guard fetched a bowl of water from upstream, handed it to Mo Jingchen, and said earnestly,

"Sir, please drink some water to relieve the heat.

This water is cool, sweet, and delicious. "

Mo Jingchen put his hand into the water and found that it was indeed chilly to the bone. He was alert:

In the middle of summer, the water is so cold. I'm afraid it's not the feng shui that's wrong here, but the landscape!

Although the aquatic plants are beautiful, they can cause paralysis!

Mo Jingchen was cautious and said to the guards,

"It's okay to wash your face and cool off, but don't drink it."

Several guards who were drinking water by the river stopped when they heard this and spit out the water in their mouths.

The elderly patients in their family are also the beneficiaries of this free clinic, so they naturally believe in Master Mo's words.

Tuanzi Niang looked embarrassed and said quickly,

"Sir, the river here flows down from the mountain over there, and you can drink it.

In our Kirigakure Village, our ancestors have been drinking water from this place for generations. "

Mo Jingchen ignored her words and silently took off the water bag from his waist and drank the water warmed by the sun.

"Ah! Look, what kind of fish is that? It has such big teeth! It's really scary!"

A guard exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.

Mo Jingchen looked into the water and saw a strange fish he had never seen before. It was a three-inch-long fish with a row of big white teeth that could be an inch long!

For the first time, Mo Jingchen saw a fierce look on a fish's face.

Tuanzi Niang laughed,

"We call it the big tooth fish. This kind of fish looks scary and the meat is very delicious.

It’s just that it’s very difficult to catch, it’s a little small, it has a lot of thorns, and it’s very vicious and bites people, so we rarely eat it.

Do you want to try something new and I can catch a few for you? "

Mo Jingchen stared at the big toothed fish, thought for a while, and then sent out half of the guards, asking them to leave the village and bring in food and water from outside.

They are not allowed to eat the food here.

Tuanzi Niang did not understand why the imperial doctor was like this, and was a little at a loss. Like a child who had done something wrong, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Mo Jingchen looked up at the sky and looked around.

Suddenly I saw a temple on the opposite side of the mountain, surrounded by smoke and a heavy smell of incense, and asked,

"What kind of temple is that?"

Tuanzi Niang looked pious and sad.

“It’s the mountain temple worshiped by our village.

Every household in our area goes there to burn incense and pray for forgiveness from the gods and relief from divine punishment.

God has been punishing our village for more than a hundred years, and I hope it will end soon. "

The head of Wuyin Village heard that the imperial doctor from the capital came to the free clinic, and he beat gongs and drums and enthusiastically welcomed the people into his home.

The village chief's father is a patient with deformed limb joints and is paralyzed in bed.

Before Mo Jingchen entered the room, he smelled the smell of rotting flesh and feces.

He took out a white kerchief from his sleeve and covered his mouth and nose.

The village chief was very embarrassed.

"Mr. Imperial Physician, my father has been ill all year round and has sores on his body. It doesn't look good ... "

Mo Jingchen was very indifferent,

"It doesn't matter."

Mo Jingchen saw that the old patient looked haggard, like a living dead, which was simply too miserable to look at.

The joints of the legs and feet were more than a circle larger than those of ordinary people, and the skin color was also sickly sallow.

He took out a silver needle and pricked the acupuncture point.

"Does it hurt?"

The village chief father felt weak and said slowly in a breathy voice,

"My whole body hurts. If you prick me this time, I won't feel it at all."

Mo Jingchen checked several nearby cases. Although he could not find the cause of the paralysis in the middle-aged people in Wuyin Village, he could determine:

Xiaotuanzi is not suffering from a strange disease, but there is another reason.

The most likely possibility is poisoning.

Mo Jingchen asked Tuanzi Niang if he had eaten any wild fruits and vegetables.

Tuanzi Niang thought for a long time.

"A few days ago, I took Xiao Tuanzi to chop firewood in the mountains, and he found a purple fruit.

Since I had never seen it before, I told him not to eat it.

Maybe he ate it secretly ... "

It's already dark now. Even if we go into the mountains, it's hard to find those purple wild fruits. We can only wait until tomorrow.

On the second day, before dawn, there was a knock on Mo Jingchen's door.

It wasn't Tuanzi Niang who was anxious, but Xiao Ye who was anxious.

He heard that every family in this foggy village was paralyzed and looked weird. He was afraid that Mo Jingchen would be in danger, so he groped in the dark and took the risk of walking on the mountain road to find him.

Mo Jingchen was so asleep that he couldn't hear the knock on the door at all.

Xiao Ye knew that Mo Jingchen couldn't hear the sound outside the door because of how deep he was sleeping, but he was still crazy. He flew up anxiously and broke in through the door.

"Mo Jingchen, I'm here!"

The loud noise of the wooden door collapsing did not wake Mo Jingchen.

He was too tired from walking on the mountain road yesterday, and he was deeply asleep at the moment.

Xiao Ye saw Mo Jingchen lying quietly on the couch, his eyes closed, his face cold and gentle, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth:

Just be fine.

Xiao Ye kicked off his shoes without seeing anyone else, got on the bed, hugged the person in, then lay down next to him, and said rather resentfully,

"You're so dead when you sleep, you don't even know if someone takes you away, right?"

Xiao Ye used his eyes to describe his deep eyebrows, high bridge of nose, and superior jawline, and mumbled:

"You are so handsome, if someone takes you away, you will definitely not come back.

You really dare to come anywhere without saying hello to me. Do you want to annoy me to death?

If you make me worry again, I'll beat you up. "

Xiao Ye waved his fist as big as a sandbag, pretending to beat him.

When the fist came close, it turned into a finger and scratched his nose.

Then, he poked his face, pinched his earlobe, and said in a serious manner,

"Hey, are you scared?

That's it this time. If you dare to leave without saying hello next time, I'll beat you with a military stick~"

After Xiao Ye talked to himself for a while, he began to close his eyes to catch up on his sleep.

At three o'clock in the morning, Mo Jingchen finally fell asleep and woke up naturally.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Xiao Ye snoring beside him. He was frightened for a moment. Then he saw the cracked wooden door on the ground. He curled his lips and pushed him.

Xiao Ye woke up at the touch and immediately put on a smile,

"Hey, Jingchen, you're awake~"

Mo Jingchen looked as usual and said very coldly:

"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Ye raised the end of his peach blossom eyes, his amber-like eyes were full of light, playing with taste,

"I came to sleep with you with good intentions, why are you so cold?"
