Quick time travel: The system wants me to save the sick girl
Chapter 880: Beginning and Peak (10)
The main reason why Lu Yan and his team went deep into the heart of Miaojiang this time was to thoroughly investigate the source of the insect poison that infected him and how it spread to the capital.
This mysterious insect poison is like a fog, lingering in everyone's mind. Finding someone who is related to the key figure in the capital may be a breakthrough in solving the mystery of the insect poison in Lu Yan's body, but it doesn't seem so easy.
They had been away from the capital for a long time and were afraid that something unexpected might happen.
After a tiring journey, Lu Yan and Fu Liyou finally arrived at the Miao village.
The atmosphere here is quiet and mysterious, and the ancient buildings are scattered around, as if hiding countless secrets.
The village chief received them warmly and told them that there were many people in the village who knew about insect poisoning and they wanted to find someone capable. There was indeed an old man in the village who knew about poisoning, but he was a loner and seldom communicated with the outside world.
Lu Yan decided to visit the old man in person, hoping to get some clues from him.
"No hurry, take a rest for a night first." Fu Liyou suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Yan's face and said, "I'm tired."
Lu Yan also had to stop and said, "Ah? Okay then."
He didn't even notice that Fu Liyou was tired. Didn't he look very energetic?
"Host, I think he wants you to rest. You don't even know what you are like now?" the system reminded.
'What am I like? I don't know.'
"You haven't had enough rest these days. You look very haggard and have dark circles under your eyes."
Lu Yan indeed didn't get enough rest these days, so Fu Liyou's words just now were meant to let him rest?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Fu Liyou, but there was no change on the other's face.
The village chief found an empty room in his house and said, "We rarely have outsiders coming here, so there is no inn."
He scratched his head, showed a trace of apology and continued: "I'm so sorry, I can only ask you two to squeeze in. I have no choice but to do this. The conditions are limited. I hope you can bear with me."
Lu Yan acted very nonchalant about this and said that there was no problem at all.
Although Fu Liyou remained silent, his expression showed that he did not raise any objection to this. It seemed that he accepted this arrangement by default.
At night, Lu Yan and Fu Liyou rested in a narrow room.
Despite the cramped space, both endured it in silence.
They were squeezed onto a bed, back to back.
Lu Yan tossed and turned, thinking about tomorrow's meeting with the old man who knew witchcraft. He said he was resting, but in fact he couldn't sleep at all.
Fu Liyou leaned quietly on the bed, staring at the moonlight outside the window.
Suddenly, a slight noise caught Lu Yan's attention. He opened his eyes alertly and saw a dark shadow quietly approaching the window.
Lu Yan immediately woke Fu Liyou up and whispered to him that something was wrong. Fu Liyou quickly stood up and watched the black shadow with Lu Yan vigilantly.
The shadow stayed outside the window for a moment, then disappeared. Lu Yan and Fu Liyou looked at each other and decided to go out and check.
They carefully pushed open the door and blended into the darkness, following the trail of the shadow.
The two traveled through the darkness and finally arrived at the edge of the village.
The black shadow disappeared, but they found some strange traces, as if someone passed by here and left these traces deliberately.
"What is this?" Lu Yan asked, pointing at the pattern on the ground.
Fu Liyou squatted down and observed carefully, "It looks like an ancient witchcraft formation."
At this moment, a strange atmosphere suddenly filled the air, making people feel creepy.
"Be careful!" Fu Liyou pulled Lu Yan behind him, only to see a group of black figures emerging from the darkness and running away after attacking.
"Don't chase them." Lu Yan held Fu Liyou back. "There are so many of them. It's impossible for them to attack and then run away. They are probably trying to lead us there on purpose."
"Then let's go back first." Fu Liyou and Lu Yan returned to the village chief's house.
"Host, these people are from the capital. They know that you came to Miaojiang and want you to stay here and never go back." The system immediately found the information of these people for Lu Yan.
"Well, it seems some people can't hold back any longer." Lu Yan naturally knew why they came, and he was afraid that he should be able to find a lot of things here.
It was destined that he would not get a good rest tonight, so Lu Yan could only wash up simply to avoid looking too haggard.
Looking at the face in the mirror, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile at himself.
I don't look that aggressive, I can even say I'm a little weak.
Now she looks haggard, and has a kind of fragile beauty, as if she would fall down at the slightest breeze.
This kind of beauty might make some people want to protect it, but for Lu Yan, it is just a kind of helplessness, and he feels that it does not match his identity at all.
But at least he's handsome.
The next morning, Lu Yan and Fu Liyou got up early and prepared to go to the residence of the old man who knew witchcraft again.
They found that this was the place outside the village where they were lured out last night.
Along the way, they kept an eye on the surroundings. Suddenly, a small roar came from the front.
Lu Yan looked up and saw that the beast was small and covered with fur, but its fangs were extremely sharp.
"Little beast, is it a tiger or a lion?" Lu Yan couldn't help but get closer to take a closer look.
It glared at Lu Yan and Fu Liyou, exuding strong hostility.
"Is this... a tiger?" Fu Liyou frowned slightly, as if he remembered something. "Why is there only a little tiger?"
"I don't know." Lu Yan couldn't help but want to get closer to take a look.
Fu Liyou did not stop him and just watched Lu Yan approach step by step. Only then did Lu Yan discover that there were bite marks on the other side of Xiaohu.
"It seems that this is all that's left."
Lu Yan took out a powder from his arms, carefully placed it in front of Xiaohu, and then took a few steps back.
"What did you put there?" Fu Liyou didn't even notice what Lu Yan put on the ground.
"Guess." Since there were no outsiders around, Lu Yan revealed his true self.
The little tiger was cautious at first and didn't dare to get close, but after smelling the powder, it couldn't help but move closer slowly. Lu Yan then seized the opportunity and grabbed the little tiger and lifted it up.
Lu Yan quickly stuffed food into Xiaohu's mouth and then took out medicine powder to bandage it.
Perhaps it knew that Lu Yan was helping it, so it became unexpectedly quiet, and Lu Yan now had the chance to hold it in his arms.
"Let's go." Fu Liyou urged.
"it is good."
When they found the old man, they found him making poisonous insects in a dim hut. The old man looked kind, but his eyes revealed a deep wisdom.
