Chapter 1327: Come back next March
Chapter 1327: Come back next March
If it weren't for the winter festival today, they would all go to the Snow Temple to burn incense, and everyone would probably be sleeping now.
The bearded man was not a native of this village, but a new resident who moved here later. He never participated in any worship activities in the village.
So it was normal that he was still sleeping at this moment.
Aunt Miao called a few more times and finally heard a deep and hoarse voice coming from inside.
"Who's making a noise outside?"
Aunt Miao heard the voice and hurriedly pulled the rope hanging on the fence door of the small courtyard, leading Bai Zhi and the others in. After reaching the door, she slammed the door with her hand again: "Brother Hu, there are guests coming, are you up?"
After a while of silence inside, some noises were finally heard, followed by the sound of light and heavy footsteps passing by the door. The door was pushed open, and a face with a full beard appeared in front of Bai Zhi.
It was a middle-aged man, half of his face was covered by a beard, and his skin was dark, but his eyes were very bright.
She seemed to have seen such eyes somewhere before, a very familiar pair of eyes.
But she was sure that she had never seen this man before.
She looked at the man, and the middle-aged man also looked at her. She was wearing a valuable snow fox fur coat, and the people following her were all extraordinary.
"Who are you? What do you want to see me for?" The middle-aged man asked.
Bai Zhi smiled faintly: "My name is Bai Zhi, I come from the capital, and I want to go into the mountains to find snow lotus."
"Now?" The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and looked Bai Zhi up and down again, with a puzzled look on his face: "Now is not a good time to go in."
Bai Zhi nodded simply: "I don't care whether it is a good time or not, I only know that snow lotus will only bloom in this freezing weather."
Only the blooming snow lotus was the most effective medicinal elixir.
The man barely thought about it and simply shook his head: "It's too snowy this year, it's not suitable to go into the mountains, you go back and come back next March."
Bai Zhi shook her head: "No, I can't wait until next March."
The middle-aged man had already turned around and walked inside: "Go back, even if it's next March, if you want snow lotus, I can help you find it, why take risks now?"
Bai Zhi said anxiously: "But I don't just want to find snow lotus, I also want to find ice cicada. Someone is waiting for an ice cicada to save his life. He can't wait until next March, there are only 2 months left."
The middle-aged man paused and turned around slowly and with difficulty. In his already bright eyes, it seemed as if a beam of light gathered, dazzling people couldn't look directly at it.
"You mean ice cicada?" He looked at Bai Zhi, and the word ice cicada was almost uttered with gritted teeth.
Bai Zhi walked into the room, walked quickly to him, stood face to face with him, and said anxiously: "Yes, it is an ice cicada. I have a friend who has been poisoned by a strange poison. He needs an ice cicada to remove the poison. He only has 2 months to live. If I don't get ice cicada, he will die."
The middle-aged man swallowed hard, closed his eyes, and then asked: "What poison did your friend get?"
To gain the trust of others, you must first show your sincerity and let others see the trust in you.
"It is a kind of Gu poison in the Western Regions. No medicine can cure it, only ice cicada can cure it, so I will try it."
The middle-aged man's face suddenly became ugly. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it Love Gu?"
Bai Zhi was stunned: "How do you know?"
