Chapter 80 Medicine Man
Listening to the ringtones from outside the window, I lay still on the bed. The inner area of the Pure Land was separated by a mysterious invisible wall. It was impossible to break freely by rushing around. Now, only by gaining their trust as soon as possible can I have the opportunity to enter the invisible area.&t;p>
Puppets are not easy to act, but I observed the survivors for a day and had already understood their behavior.&t;p>
The ringtone stopped at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night. I guess this hypnotic sound is not only played for me, but may also consolidate the hypnotic effect.&t;p>
Early the next morning, I imitated the other survivors to get breakfast in the canteen, then learned to eat as they did, and then continued to work in the medicine shed.&t;p>
The woman in charge of the medicine shed still arranged for me to water the medicinal materials. No special things happened this day, but I didn't think that Manager Wang and Qingyan had forgotten me.&t;p>
As it turned out, on the third morning, while having breakfast, an old man standing beside me drinking porridge suddenly got shot in the head and fell to the ground, and blood and brain matter sprayed my head and face.&t;p>
The survivors around them didn't even blink, and there was no expression on their faces. They seemed to be unable to hear gunshots, nor could they see anyone being killed.&t;p>
I had expected to be tempted and drank the remaining porridge with a bare face. Fortunately, the old man's blood did not spray into the bowl. I didn't want to capsize in the gutter. I endured that I would not eat flesh and blood for several months. Don't eat meat in such a mysterious situation.&t;p>
After dinner, I still walked towards the medicine shed. This time, the young man in charge of arranging labor tasks called me and asked me to follow another group of people. The direction they were walking was the three small houses built together opposite the canteen.&t;p>
We walked around these three huts and passed two rows of houses with 2, 2 and 3 as the construction sequence, and entered a space with a fragrant smell.&t;p>
The combination of these houses is like a group of passwords, built into eight directions of the plain in a stable order. At first glance, it looks like a circle. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it should be an octagonal shape.&t;p>
Perhaps the cutting barrier of space is related to the order in which these houses are arranged. If I take back my thoughts about the houses, I will focus on the space in front of me again.&t;p>
The space here is about half smaller than the medicine shed, but the shelves inside are only much more than the medicine shed. There are many large pots and long tables on the open space in the center of the shed. Some people are responsible for drying the picked medicinal materials here, some are responsible for baking, and some are responsible for cooking. It seems that they are processing.&t;p>
The person in charge of the medicinal materials processing shed is an old man with white beards. He is hunched over and has a pair of crutches under his armpits. His left leg is obviously shorter than his right leg, and his left foot does not fall to the ground when he walks.&t;p>
He spoke very low, obviously lacking in breath, as if something was stuck in his throat, making it very difficult for him to say every word.&t;p>
Qing Yanzhen gets so many medicines every day, but his subordinates are so weak. Could it be that they are not preparing medicine for the purpose of treating diseases?&t;p>
Before I could think about it, the old man clicked my name and arranged for me to cut the medicine. The whole plant of herbs needs to be removed, and the leaves and roots need to be removed, and then the part to be retained is cut into segments or slices. There are no mechanical tools now, and all the processes can only be done manually.&t;p>
I followed the steps given by the old man, used a knife and a guillotine to process herbs, and worked with a group of wooden people. I couldn't hear a little chat a day. If I wanted to find out the news, it was playing the piano between a cow.&t;p>
After working in the medicinal materials processing shed for another three days, except for the old man splashing on my arm with the rolled hot water "inadvertently", he did not encounter any other tests.&t;p>
The medicinal materials processing shed is very hot, and the survivors are all wearing single clothes to work, so they will put on cotton coats when they go out. So after this bowl of boiling water, half of my arm fell off.&t;p>
This is a slight meaning to me who has suffered from the pain of cutting flesh. I didn't even raise my eyelids. The old man seemed very satisfied and applied ointment to me and wrapped it with gauze.&t;p>
Thanks to him wrapping me with gauze, otherwise the rapidly healing wound would reveal my identity. But the day when the gauze was removed, my skin that did not leave any flaws would also arouse his suspicion, so I had to find Xiang Yiyi before that.&t;p>
But I never expected the opportunity to come so suddenly. The day after the injury, it was breakfast time again, and the young man in charge of the assignment asked me to follow him after dinner.&t;p>
This time he led me away in a direction where no one left. We entered another space, which was also a greenhouse, but the temperature was higher than the one where the medicine was used.&t;p>
There are two wooden barrels in front of each of the four walls of the greenhouse, with a height of about 1.8 meters and a diameter of at least 1 meter. I can't see anything in the barrel, but the smell of medicine emitted from the barrel is very strong.&t;p>
The greenhouse is a suite, and there is a door opposite the main door, which is opened between two wooden barrels. The young man asked me to wait in place, and he walked towards the door.&t;p>
I seized this opportunity and when he entered the door, he jumped onto the wooden barrel. The barrel was filled with medicinal materials and water, which must be very heavy. I used the strength to support the edge of the barrel and reached out to touch the potion inside.&t;p>
Various processed medicinal materials were floating in the black potion, and the questions in my heart emerged again. The survivors of the Pure Land did not even feel that they were scalded and peeled off. Who would need so many medicines?&t;p>
Out of curiosity, I tried to take a handful of hard work to see how many medicinal herbs were soaked in the bucket. As soon as my palm was penetrated into the water, a ball of things hooked my fingers.&t;p>
I lifted it up hard, and a ball of black hair was pulled out of the water, followed by a pale face. Anyone with poor psychological quality would definitely scream when they saw this scene.&t;p>
Thanks to the end of the world for honing my mind and improving my psychological quality, so that I did not make mistakes at critical moments.&t;p>
I silently read the award speech and put the head back into the potion. To be precise, it should be a person. According to the strength of my lifting, the person who was pulled up should be the person, but I didn't focus, so it was not convenient to pull out the entire person inside.&t;p>
Since one bucket contains people, the other seven must be the same. No wonder I haven't found Xiang Yiyi these days. I don't know why Qingyan Zhenren soaked people in the potion, but no matter whether Xiang Yiyi dies or lives, I will give Bai Junyang an explanation.&t;p>
I quickly searched through the eight wooden barrels, and I found that one of them was empty, and Xiang Yiyi was indeed soaking in the potion. I remembered the location of the wooden barrel where she was, wiped her wet hands with a sweater, and stood back to her original place.&t;p>
As soon as he stood firm, the door where the young man entered was opened from inside. Two men wearing masks walked out with a corpse. The body was a young woman with her head stained with medicinal residue.&t;p>
The body was severely rotten, and the skin was as dark as charcoal. One face was well preserved, but it was pale and pale. A long hole was made from her chest to her abdomen. It was obvious that someone had cut her belly open.&t;p>
This corpse reminded me of an empty wooden barrel and extended it, and then the snakes, insects and ants soaked in the wine. There are medicinal wine made of animals and insects in the world. Why can't there be medicine made of humans?&t;p>
The person who was brought out was undoubtedly a failure, and I was about to fill her position.&t;p>
But I knew what they were going to do, but I couldn't escape. The attack-type superpowers had not been discovered yet and the secrets of space transfer were not mastered. I took action at this moment, not only could I not save Xiang Yiyi, but I had to come in myself.&t;p>
After the body was carried away, a middle-aged man in a yellow Taoist robe walked out of the inner room. He wore a Taoist hat and a whisk in his hand. A troubled goat beard had a thin and pointed mouth. His rat eyes didn't look like a good person no matter how he looked.&t;p>
"True person, she is the seed I said." The young man followed Qingyan Zhenren respectfully and pointed at me as he spoke.&t;p>
"Well..." Qingyan Zhenren looked at me with a clear eye, "No, young, healthy, able to withstand the power of medicine."&t;p>
"The day before yesterday, Lao Liu burned her arm with boiling water to try her. Look, should you wait until the trauma is healed before taking medicine?" The young man glanced at my arm and said.&t;p>
"Yes, so as not to waste medicinal materials."&t;p>
"There is one thing that has happened. A lot of laborers have died recently. Have you sent someone out to get another batch?"&t;p>
"You make arrangements and choose more young people. This medicine is difficult to cultivate. The more seeds, the better."&t;p>
"Yes, I get it."&t;p>
The two chatted without me for a long time, and finally I was taken out of the greenhouse by the young man and sent back to the medicinal materials processing shed to work. On this day, I was thinking about how to sneak back to the medicine man greenhouse. When I finished work, I calmed down and finished dinner with others. When I was freely active, I wandered to those cottages leading to the medicine man room.&t;p>
There is no need to enter another space, which can be known from the fact that survivors can directly enter the work place. This means that there are specific rules for opening and closing the door of space, perhaps time?&t;p>
But verifying this idea requires a great risk. If I run out during work hours and the foreman will immediately appear, then my behavior of pretending to be stupid will be exposed.&t;p>
After thinking about it, I felt that there was only one method that could work. Of course, this method was also risky, but now that I entered the tiger's den, there was risk in doing anything. In order to rescue Xiang Yiyi as soon as possible, I had to take a risk.&t;p>
Besides, the potion attributes of Qingyan Zhenren are unknown, so I can't guarantee that there will be no problems when I soak in. If I really become a living dead person, it will be too late to regret it.&t;p>
If you want to get things done, you must be cruel to yourself. I secretly gritted my teeth, walked back to my hut, sat in a chair and began to prepare for the plan in my heart.&t;p>
Actually, my idea is quite whimsical. I thought that since my cells will disguise, they may also pretend to be dead. If all the cells die, I am a dead person. In this place, only dead people can move freely.&t;p>
Bai Junyang taught me how to explore the inner world. This trick really benefited me a lot. As the saying goes, one can understand the way the inner world works and control this method, you can create countless possibilities.&t;p>
The ancients used drugs to pretend to die, so if they learned to control various tissues and organs in their bodies, they should be able to achieve this effect.&t;p>
However, there is always a gap between theory and experiment. The human body is a precision instrument and it has self-control. I almost turned off all life systems a few times. Unfortunately, when the alarm in my brain sounded, the body automatically turned on.&t;p>
