Majiapu heard that a fairy from the mountain came to help, and they were all grateful to Dade for coming with their things. There was a drought a few years ago, and everyone didn’t have anything too expensive to give away. Some carried a basket of soil. Eggs, some brought two chickens, and some directly brought the old fat pigs that were kept at home for the Chinese New Year.

Hu Yibai repeatedly reiterated that no gifts are needed, and life is not easy for everyone, so let's take it back as you like.

But everyone seems to pin their hopes of curbing madness on the two, especially the townspeople who already have patients at home, they all strongly want to send things to the two, and the mayor helps them repeatedly emphasize that these towns The villagers also surrounded the mayor's house for a long time and refused to disperse.

Finally, the mayor said: "Otherwise, the two immortal elders will accept it. It's everyone's kindness. Since the outbreak of madness, Majiapu has caused panic. , but this madness is different from the epidemic after all, and the higher-ups dismissed them all, and now that the two of you can come, it is a great hope for Majiapu."

Speaking of this, he leaned closer to the two of them, lowering his voice slightly: "The Bai Ding in this ravine is used to being oppressed by the squires on weekdays, and he always feels that it is easy to do things if he takes things. There is no bottom."

Feng Ling has been cultivating on the mountain since she was a child, so she doesn't understand the twists and turns of this human world.Facing these townspeople at this moment, they refused patiently and sternly, but the other party became more and more energetic.

Hu Yibai has been a man for 28 years, so he naturally understands the world better than him.

This feeling is probably similar to giving a red envelope to the doctor before the operation.

There is gratitude, but more people are afraid that not giving a gift will cause dissatisfaction with the other party, and then they will use some tricks secretly to plant hidden dangers in your body.

In fact, most doctors are still very professional. Doctors have a parental heart, and the reputation of this profession has been ruined by some greedy scum.

Hu Yibai waved his hand: "We will accept everyone's wishes, but this is the sect's rule, if we accept everyone's gifts today, we will be expelled from the sect tomorrow, and you don't want to see us end up like this. "

As soon as these words came out, Feng Ling couldn't help but look sideways.

When did the sect have this regulation?

A townsman answered: "Just accept it, we will definitely not spread the matter!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of response immediately, and everyone promised: "The immortal head will accept it! We must be rotten in our stomachs, and no one will say anything about it!"

Hu Yibai looked at these simple townspeople and couldn't help laughing. He pointed to the sky: "There are gods up three feet above our heads, and we will be punished by heaven for our misdeeds in the human world. Don't worry, everyone. If the madness is cured, For us, it is also a good thing. If you don’t give gifts to this matter, the two of us will definitely do our best. After a few days, we still have things to cooperate with you. Let’s go back and rest early!”

Hu Yibai talked about this point, if they really received the gift and would be punished, then they really couldn't make it harder.

After all, ordinary people like them can't understand the affairs of immortals.

The townspeople scattered their bags, when a little girl with a bun ran over and handed him the chestnuts fried in sugar: "I invite you to eat the chestnuts, not as a gift, I wait for you to eat them." When you are full, gather enough strength to heal your illness."

Hu Yibai squatted down and looked at the paper bags full of roasted chestnuts, which were not as big as those sold at the street corner. They were probably picked up from the mountains. He touched the little girl's head: "Thank you then, wait for brother When they are full, go to the doctor immediately."

On the way back, the two walked side by side, but the distance between them was at least enough for a carriage.

Hu Yibai took a step closer holding a bag of fried chestnuts in sugar: "It's quite sweet, how about one?"

Feng Ling walked ahead in a muffled voice, still not saying a word.

The atmosphere was awkward like a pool of stagnant water.

Hu Yibai sighed silently, and put back the peeled chestnuts in his hand.

Feng Ling suddenly said: "What is your purpose?"

Hu Yibai looked sideways, this is the beginning of getting to the point, he carefully considered: "I went too far in the marrow washing pool before, but after I thought about it, I thought I must make amends. But at that time you suffered Injury, if you directly compensate for it, you will definitely not accept it..."

Feng Ling: "So you came here wearing a bamboo hat and pretending to be a fool to lie to me?"

Speaking of this, the usual calm and indifferent tone carried a hint of gnashing of teeth.

"..." Hu Yibai was also taken aback for a moment, it is absurd to use lies to explain lies.

He simply broke the boat and said: "Do you believe in Duoshe?"

Feng Ling frowned: "What do you mean? Are you saying that you were taken away before, so you pushed me into the marrow washing pool? Or did you start to help me out of nowhere after the takeover?"

Hu Yibai thought for a while, "Let's do it later."

The air fell silent for a moment, and the two looked at each other across the air.

Feng Ling probably never expected that he could explain it like this.

Take home?If it is not for the cultivation base above the Mahayana period, I am afraid it will not be possible at all.

In this way, not only Hu Yibai's temperament changed drastically, but also his cultivation base increased rapidly, which made some sense.

But since ancient times, most of the people who seized the house were not kind.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a generation of thieves to take away the body of others when one's own lifespan is exhausted.

Feng Ling: "Then who are you?"

Hu Yibai: "The name is also the same, but I come from a far away place, maybe... farther than Jiuchongtian..."

Feng Ling saw through his tricks, and sneered: "I just don't want to say yes."

Hu Yibai: "..." I dare not say it.

Feng Ling: "Okay, even if you are robbing the house, you lied to me first, but you also helped me and saved me. If you need anything from me in the future, just ask me, but we will have nothing to do after this kindness is over. I won't say anything about the seizure of the house, but if you are discovered by Emperor Qingqiu or others, no one can save you, so you can do it yourself."

Nothing to do with it anymore, how does this sound like a clean break with him?

He looked at Feng Ling's frosty face, and touched the back of his neck helplessly, "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have lied to you back then, but I didn't follow the trend of some words, I... eh?"

Feng Ling beside her stopped in her tracks: "From now on, don't talk to me unless it's about a mission."

Every word, the chill pierced through my bones.

Hu Yibai was so frightened that he blinked several times, and nodded with a groan.

Only then did Feng Ling untie the Jinyan.

Hu Yibai staggered a little and followed him obliquely, watching Feng Ling's face carefully.

It seemed that the child was seriously injured and had begun to escape from reality.But there is no way, the senior brother is him, even if the six worlds are turned upside down, this is a fact that no one can change.

It will definitely take time for Feng Ling to accept this matter.

But if Feng Ling wanted to accept him again, it was almost a fantasy.

His current image in Feng Ling's heart is probably that of a complete liar. No matter how you look at it, the motives for telling this lie were not pure.

Let's proceed step by step for the time being, at least now they are open and honest with each other without lies, which is a big step forward.

Just when he was about to take another step closer, Feng Ling who was beside him suddenly looked back vigilantly, that cold gaze almost nailed Hu Yibai to the ground.

"...I, want to talk to you about my insights into this madness."

As he said just now, unless it's about missions, it's okay for him to talk about missions now.

Having said that, Feng Ling really didn't resist his approach anymore.

Hu Yibai also stopped when he saw it was good, and stopped at a position two punches away from him: "Although these people have demonic energy in them, generally speaking, demonic energy is not contagious like an epidemic, and the symptoms of these people It’s all different, which is kind of weird.”

Feng Ling: "Indeed, if it's just an infection of demonic energy, you can get better after taking a few pills, bathing and cleansing your body for half a month. But the cause is unknown, and the symptoms are not cured. Even if it is cured, you will still get sick again."

Listening to his peaceful tone, Hu Yibai suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

At that time, he felt that this kid could achieve great things at first glance, no matter what his relationship with him was, but when he saw the real chapter, he never brought his personal emotions to official affairs.

Consider the overall situation and know the general situation.

It's hard not to feel good about it.

Probably because Hu Yibai sighed for a while, the temperature of the eyes that looked at him from the side began to drop sharply, and he hurriedly said: "But at present, the first Ms. Liu who fell ill should be the source of the outbreak of madness, and we will focus on investigation tomorrow. Before the onset of the disease, where did she pass by, who did she contact, and then investigate these people one by one. And I have an idea, I will go back to the inn later, I will draw a map first and then show it to you."

"Yes." Feng Ling.

When the two of them returned to the inn, Hu Yibai went to the front desk and booked a room naturally. Looking back at Feng Ling's cold gaze, he laughed dryly: "I don't sleep."

Since entering the Nascent Soul Stage, he basically doesn't need to sleep, but occasionally he needs to rest when his demons attack.

Feng Ling also said: "I don't need it either."

Hu Yibai took the house card and key from the counter. They really don't need to sleep, but they have to book a room to stay.

When Xiaoer came in with the kettle to make tea, Hu Yibai sat by the window and waved: "Little brother, come up again and bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Xiao Er responded, followed the voice and looked over, and was taken aback by the handsome man sitting by the window.

Although he has seen many guests coming and going as a errand in the inn over the years, those men and women who can be regarded as good-looking together are not as good as the one in front of him, no, one-tenth, no, one-hundredth!

I can't help but sigh how in this world there is such a stunning and dazzling life, it is simply not like ordinary people.

The room I booked is very large, and there is a bead curtain partition between the bed inside and the table and chairs outside.

At this time, Feng Ling came out from behind the bead curtain after washing her hands: "Help me clean the tub and fill it with hot water."

As the bead curtains collided, there was a crisp sound.

Xiao Er followed the sound and turned his head to look, wondering if there was another person in the room. When he caught sight of Feng Ling in white, he suddenly slammed, and the copper pot in his hand fell to the ground.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly picked it up, blushing and murmured: "Okay, let's go right away."

As he said that, he ran out without looking back, almost forgetting to close the door.

Hu Yibai was a little surprised, and said in an uncertain tone: "You, want to take a bath?"

Does he have to avoid it?

But remember that Feng Ling always wears inner clothes to keep clean, don't get me wrong, he hasn't read it, it's just described in the original book.

At that time, the description was more than 1000 words, which was still fresh in his memory.

Feng Ling sat opposite with no expression on her face: "There are not enough elixirs, so I can just melt water and send some from house to house, and then send flying letters to the sect, so that the disciples of the medical training institute can send more elixirs."

Hu Yibai looked at the huge tub in a daze: "But there are only more than 70 patients in total, so it's not enough to soak in such a big bucket of water, right?"

Is this to fill one person with water?

"Who said it was only given to the sick? There are 3000 people in Majiapu, and a little is distributed according to the head." Speaking of this, Feng Ling looked at him sideways: "This demonic energy spreads quickly. From the current point of view, it is more like an epidemic than a demonic possession. It's still early days, and the officials ignore it because they haven't realized the seriousness of the madness. It may be too late when the ant nest bursts. Let everyone drink some pill water first, and the effect of the medicine will last at least a month. , can be considered safe.”

Hearing this, Hu Yibai slowly raised his eyebrows, was amazed by his wit, and subconsciously blurted out: "Yes, little goldfish, you are smart!"

After speaking, both of them were stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

But soon Xiaoer brought a buddy in to pour hot water. Hearing the sound of splashing water, the whole room was filled with mist.

Hu Yibai dipped his pen and ink, and sketched the prototype of Majiapu on the rice paper. It was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a pair of pointed ears on it. At first glance, it really looked like a horse's head.

He marked the residences of Ms. Liu and other patients on the map one by one. The later the time of infection, the lighter the ink marks.

After everything is written, the scope and sequence of the spread of the disease will be clear at a glance.

Hu Yibai spread the map in front of Feng Ling: "Look, the house with the thickest ink stains is Liu Tuhu's house, but there are also places with heavy ink stains in places far away from her. It is not ruled out that these two people have been in contact with each other before, but Liu Tuhu's house Whether Miss is the source is still in doubt."

Feng Ling looked at the ink dots on the map. Apart from Liu Tuhu's house, there was a cluster in the east where the ink was thick.

He took the pen from Hu Yibai, and sketched the prototype of Wangjiazhai on the east side of Majiapu.

On the bamboo slips of the mission month, there was an introduction about the topography, customs and customs of Sanjin Gorge. Hu Yibai had no intention of coming here at first, so he just took a quick glance at it and jotted down the contents.

Originally, he thought that his memory was good enough, but he didn't expect that Feng Ling's strokes, every simple diagram would be drawn like a landscape painting by him.

The mountains are overlapping, lifelike.

Feng Ling: "Don't you think it's strange? There are also many patients in the east. It stands to reason that Wangjiazhai is so close, so how could there be no cases?"

Hu Yibai also noticed this problem because of his point: "You are right, not reporting it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Let's go to Wangjiazhai tomorrow. Don't alarm the government this time."

Looking at the ink marks on the east side of the map, it seems to be denser than those around Liu Tuhu's house. It's really hard to say where the source came from.

After chatting for a while, the potion made by Feng Ling is almost ready, and tomorrow I will transport this bucket of water and distribute some from house to house.

Don't directly give the pills to the villagers themselves, because they are afraid that the pills will not be enough and there will be competition.

The bellman's beating of the gong was faintly heard outside.

Feng Ling packed up her things, turned around and was about to push the door out, he hurried to catch up: "Where are you going so late?"

Feng Ling ignored him, pushed the door open, and jumped out from the opposite window. Hearing the sound of tiles being touched above her head, she knew she was flying to the roof.

Hu Yibai: "..."

It really means that if you don't sleep, you don't sleep.

Then he can sleep by himself.

The author has something to say:

Feng Ling: Very good, he didn't come after me again :)

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
