Chapter 396: Allergy and Inflammation, Grass on the Grave (5k)
Wen Yan looked at the little girl's performance and knew that what Doctor Wei said was very reliable.
According to the information he had obtained before, the earliest was witches, then alchemists, and then witchcraft.
The things passed down by the witch lineage were hit hard twice, that is, Qin and Han.
It is normal for witchcraft to react to things made by witch priests.
After all, according to his understanding and speculation, except for now, no one may have eaten fried chicken made by witch priests for thousands of years.
In the era when witch priests were active, they were probably not so luxurious as to have so many spices and seasonings, nor were they so luxurious as to use oil to fry chicken.
The witchcraft of this era is considered lucky.
There happened to be a witch priest in Decheng who loved cooking.
Wen Yan ate fried chicken and drank sour plum soup while thinking about these things in his heart.
The little girl kept slurping while eating. She saw that Wen Yan seemed to have no reaction. She looked at the fried chicken carefully and seemed to see no pepper.
But think about it, I've seen super spicy grilled wings before, and it seems that they didn't use chili peppers, but some kind of chili oil.
After hesitating for a long time, the little girl asked her doubts.
"Brother Wen, is this fried chicken neither spicy nor numbing?"
"Yes." Wen Yan nodded simply.
"..." The little girl held a piece of chicken leg, her face stiffened: "Then why do I feel numb and spicy?"
"You are allergic."
"Ah?"
"What's so strange about it? People with allergies will taste different flavors when eating some things. For example, people who are allergic to eggplant will taste numbness and spiciness."
"But...but I didn't have any allergies when I ate fried chicken before?"
"What's so strange about this? People are not allergic to a thing, and the degree of allergy is not fixed.
Some people were allergic to eggs when they were young, and they slept well after eating one.
It's normal that they are not allergic when they grow up.
Some people have changes in their physical condition, and they are allergic to things that they were not allergic to before, which is also normal.
You should be glad that you can still be allergic to something now, which is a good thing.
It's just a change in taste, it's not a big problem.
It's okay as long as it tastes good, don't worry about other things."
The little girl was confused. She felt that what Wen Yan said seemed to make sense, but she always felt that something was wrong, but with her knowledge reserve, she couldn't find out what was wrong.
Wait, if the allergy is serious, it can kill people, right?
Do you really not need to worry about it?
Wait, what Wen Ge said seems to make sense. She has already tried her best. It is good to be happy. Why bother so much?
She really hasn't felt happy after eating for a long time.
It was so spicy and numb that she was sweating a little, but she still felt happy inexplicably. When she ate, she felt hot in her stomach.
The little girl was a little embarrassed when she ate. She was sweating all over. Her bangs were stuck to her forehead. She laughed while eating.
As she ate, the little girl's face became redder and redder. She coughed lightly, and blood began to spurt out of her nostrils and mouth.
After the blood spurted out, the little girl's red face quickly cooled down and became normal. She looked very healthy.
Wen Yan was quick-witted. In the moment when the little girl had a little reaction, he was holding the fried chicken in one hand and the sour plum soup in the other hand, and the whole person retreated two meters away in an instant.
Wen Yan put the things on the cabinet next to him, took a few tissues and handed them to the little girl, and then stared at the blood on the ground.
When the blood fell to the ground, it was still a little dark red, but soon, the color began to dim and turned into a light red, like venous blood dripping into the water and dizzying.
Feeling the vitality of the little girl, it seemed to be a little stronger all of a sudden, and the kind of living people's anger was obviously stronger.
"It seems that you are not only allergic, but also have a sore throat. Then don't eat it. If you want to eat it later, buy it later and control the amount."
"..."
The little girl wiped the blood from her nose and wisely didn't ask why.
No matter how stupid she was, she understood that it was impossible to have a sore throat just after eating it and get sore that she had a nosebleed before she finished eating.
She knew that no matter how much she asked, Wen Yan could find her a statement that was very consistent with the cognition of the people of Nanwu County.
Getting angry is a universal reason in Nanwu County. Any situation can be related to getting angry.
The little girl wiped the blood and felt a little regretful. She really liked eating this fried chicken. It was so spicy that she couldn't taste the freshness of the chicken.
Logically speaking, it was unacceptable in Nanwu County that the chicken didn't taste like chicken.
But she liked it inexplicably. She liked it even when it was spicy and sweaty.
Wen Yan smiled. He just thought of it when he came back and wanted to try it. Unexpectedly, the effect was better than expected.
Wang Jianjun was recovering in Decheng. He was also a person who couldn't sit still. When he could move around, he went to the fried chicken shop to sit and help guide him. Wen Yan happened to catch him.
Then Wen Yan had this hot-headed idea.
At present, it seems to be very effective. The little girl didn't even have the instinctive desire to survive before, but now it has been stimulated.
Even though the food was so spicy that he couldn't eat anymore and his nose started bleeding, there was still obvious regret on his face. This was a sign that his desire to survive had been activated.
Looking at the reddish bloodstains on the ground, Wen Yan recalled the medical records he had read before. The problem was indeed with the blood. The previous treatment methods were not useless. There were some relief, but the root problem was not found and the root problem was not solved.
Now this fried chicken may not be very effective in curing the disease, but it is enough to relieve the problem.
Wen Yan settled the little girl and did not treat her as a patient. Whatever happened, the little girl felt very comfortable. At least she did not have the pressure of facing everyone's concern.
If she had spurted blood from her mouth and nose before, she would have been sent to the hospital immediately.
After experiencing ups and downs, the little girl who did not know why her father was arrested finally fell asleep tiredly.
Wen Yan returned home. There was a commotion in the house. Several guys who did not eat fried chicken were arguing with the cat and the cat, discussing whether the sleeping dog Wen Yan brought back should be given fried chicken.
The little zombie meant that we don't eat it because we can't eat it or don't like it.
But the dog looked alive and liked to eat meat, so it must be given points.
The cat said that the dog was still sleeping and couldn't eat it, but the zombies bit it to death. Being able to eat it had nothing to do with sleeping now.
Wen Yan came back and saw that they were discussing these things seriously.
He didn't participate, didn't take sides, just sat beside and listened.
Anyway, there was no tendency to fight. Both sides were talking at cross purposes and trying to reason.
After arguing for a while, when Chen Qimo came back from school and joined in, Wen Yan was bored, so he put a phone on the coffee table, dialed it, and put another phone in the basement so that the big guys in the basement could also listen to the excitement.
While Wen Yan was noisy and lively, Wei Jing, who Wen Yan didn't care about, had already taken the high-speed rail to Caiyun County.
Without taking a plane, it can arrive in a few hours. Every time Wei Jing took the train, he would sigh.
A few hours later, he got off at a station halfway. He didn't go to the county town of Caiyun County.
After leaving the station, I called an online taxi and arrived at the destination in an hour.
In the mountains, the vegetation on the roadside grew very well. Various plants that were carefully maintained in Nanwu County and would die at any time were as vigorous as weeds here.
Oh, I was wrong. To the locals, these were worthless weeds.
When the locals went to other places, they were shocked to hear that a bouquet of flowers cost two or three hundred yuan.
The medicinal materials that Wei Jing was looking for were here, and only here. He was basically sure that the things he had seen many years ago were probably still in the same area.
He went up the mountain with tools and medicine baskets. After walking for two hours in the mountains, he saw a little bright color faintly appearing under a bush, and he immediately went over.
After pushing aside the leaves, he saw a wilted fungus underneath, which looked like green and blue. It looked quite deadly at first glance. Wei Jing took a closer look and immediately smiled.
"Good luck."
After picking, he continued to move forward in the mountains.
After walking for another two hours, he came to a mountain. Looking at the scenery here that was no different from that year, Wei Jing bowed to the mountain.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I'm sorry to bother you again. I want to pick some medicinal herbs."
As Wei Jing spoke, the rocks on the hillside slid down, and stone statues emerged from under the ground.
The stone statues stood separately, as if standing on both sides of a road.
A stone door also appeared on the mountain in front. The relief of the strange beast on the stone door moved, opened its eyes, and looked at Wei Jing in the distance.
"Doctor Wei, long time no see, why are you picking grass from my master's grave again?"
"Forgive me, I'm not sure if there is grass from other places, and if it has enough medicinal effect."
"Well, you know the rules. If you come to pick grass from the grave, you have to give some explanation."
"I have a message for you. The mountain ghost is dead. Is that enough?"
"Hmm?" The relief of the strange beast opened its eyes wide instantly. It floated out of the stone gate, slowly landed on the ground, and turned into a gray stone strange beast: "Doctor Wei, don't say such things casually."
"What nonsense is there? A long time ago, , someone has found a way.
Dig the roots of the mountain, destroy the mountain, and break the mountain.
The most difficult thing was to break the mountain, but now the last and most difficult step is the simplest.
Part of the mountain has been suppressed under some crossroads and used as a roadbed.
It just so happens that the city where I live now can get a little bit of it.
I was idle that day, so I looked at it from the side. If I am not mistaken.
Those broken stones should be buried three feet below the road surface. "
Wei Jing said lightly, and the stone beast's eyes popped out of their sockets.
Now it believed it.
Used as a roadbed at a crossroad, and three feet lower than the road surface, this is a standard eternal damnation.
If the mountain ghost had a little life and a little room for resistance, it would not be treated like this.
There is only one possibility, the first two steps were completed in excess, and the mountain ghost that was once immortal is dead.
The stone beast looked dazed, and it didn't come back to its senses for a long time.
Wei Jing didn't urge him, and waited for a long time before asking.
"Is this enough information?"
"Enough! Enough!" The stone beast stood to the side, made way, and stretched out a claw to invite: "Doctor Wei, please feel free to pick as much as you want."
"You don't need too much. This stuff must be fresh to be useful. Just enough for one use."
The stone beast led Wei Jing along the road guarded by the stone statue in the middle, and walked forward all the way.
As they walked, this ordinary mountain became gloomy, and the trees on the mountain disappeared. The lush hill suddenly became like a huge grave.
The stone beast led Wei Jing to the foot of the mountain and stretched out his claws to signal.
"Doctor Wei, please do as you please. I won't go up."
"Thank you." Wei Jing did not force it. It was indeed a bit too much to let the stone beast step on the grave of his boss.
Wei Jing climbed up the bare and gloomy mountain, and saw that there were dark green things like weeds growing on the top of the mountain.
Wei Jing took out the tools and picked them carefully, only taking the part above the roots, without the roots, so that they could continue to grow here in the future.
But it can't be too little, otherwise the medicinal properties will change.
Some medicinal materials seem to be able to be artificially planted, but the medicinal properties of artificially planted ones are indeed much worse.
According to current research, there is a saying that the difference lies in the fact that some medicinal materials, wild ones and artificially cultivated ones, have slightly different ingredients, which are secondary metabolites and other ingredients produced by wild plants when they fight against the environment in harsh environments.
Wei Jing did not study other things so deeply, but he knew that the thing called grave grass has always existed and has a particularly good effect, and it is indeed only here.
Only the grave grass here can grow in this place where there is no grass, the environment is extremely harsh, and it is not suitable for any plants and animals to survive.
In this environment, the surviving grave grass has extremely strong vitality, and the series of ingredients produced when fighting against the environment here are what he needs.
But this kind of thing, obviously has extremely strong vitality, seems to be very good in other places. Wei Jing has tried it, and it is indeed easy to survive when transplanted, but it will become an ordinary weed with no medicinal effect.
He only picked ten grave grasses, wrapped them with cloth, and then came down from the mountain.
When he came down, the stone beast sitting on the side immediately came over.
"Doctor Wei, can I ask which mountain's immortal... helped?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know either. You just need to know that I'm here to make a good relationship for you."
"Okay, okay, what else do you need, Doctor Wei? Otherwise, you can take a rest and I'll go and collect it for you."
The stone beast led Wei Jing along the road. As they walked, the bare and gloomy grave mountain behind them turned into its original lush appearance again.
"No need, the most important thing is this grave grass. The rest is very simple. I can do it myself.
I see that you have always been quiet, not high-profile, and not hurting or harming others, so I came to remind you.
Don't take the wrong road. The times are changing too fast. If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed forever."
"Thank you, Doctor Wei, for your advice."
When Wei Jing was about to walk out of the road guarded by the stone statues, he paused.
"Has your master woken up?"
"Not yet. Doctor Wei, feel free to ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
"The inheritance of witchcraft was not completely destroyed back then, and some things were lost in Southeast Asia.
Do you know what kind of things might have been lost in Southeast Asia?
For example, things that smell like demons and can damage human blood and marrow."
"This... this is really difficult for me. How could I know these things? If I take a look at those things, I would want to knock my eyeballs off and crush them, and then dig out my brain and wash it, and quickly wash those things away, for fear of being contaminated by even a little bit."
"Times have changed. What are you afraid of? It's not the same as before."
"This..." The stone beast looked left and right, hesitated for a long time, thought of the information given by Wei Jinglai, and dug up the grass on the grave. It probably understood what this was going to do, and also understood what Wei Jing meant by making good connections.
Since you want to make good connections, of course you have to be thorough.
"Doctor Wei, that's you. If it's someone else, I really don't know anything.
I heard it, I really heard it.
You should also know that I wasn't there at that time.
It was some fools who didn't know how to count the days who were beaten to death.
There were indeed some smart low-level apprentices who escaped from the Silk Road to the outside world.
But most of those guys died on the way.
The very few who survived were also insignificant.
They didn't even make a splash, let alone stir up waves.
But they might have taken something out.
At that time, those Hu merchants dared to do anything to make money.
They might not dare to take away criminals who committed serious crimes, but they might not dare to take away apprentices who were not important and might not even have a portrait on the list. , these people are really brave.
Later, I didn't hear any movement in the west. I think they ran to Nanyang for some reason.
At least, as far as I know, the people who practiced witchcraft back then were very arrogant.
Even if they died, they would not degenerate to have anything to do with the devil.
This is not a question of good or bad, it's just that they don't look down on the devil at all.
What is that word called? Wait a minute, let me think about it. I just learned it a few years ago.
Oh, I remember, the contempt chain.
In the minds of those guys, the devil is an existence outside the contempt chain, and it can't even be on the contempt chain.
I'm thinking that this is probably not a serious witchcraft inheritance.
At most, it's a latecomer who got something and figured it out by himself.
If there is still a relationship with the devil, then only the blood-sacrifice-loving lineage remains. "
When the stone beast said this, he looked up at Wei Jing's face and continued to ask tentatively.
"Doctor Wei, that's about all I've heard. If you need anything, just ask. We still have some manpower here, maybe we can help."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just helping people heal their illnesses. It's not my turn to interfere in other matters."
That's what Wei Jing said, but the stone beast still stretched out a claw, took out a stone eye, and handed it to Wei Jing.
"I'm giving this to Doctor Wei. I hope it can be helpful. We are guarding this place and have no ability. All we have is a pair of eyes.
Dr. Wei gave it to anyone who needed it, just as Dr. Wei said.
Make a good relationship, make a good relationship. "
Wei Jing was amused by the stone beast and accepted the stone eyes.
"Okay, it seems you have learned a lot over the years while guarding this place."
"This is also based on your advice. There is no harm in reading more and learning more."
