Early the next morning, Ming Xiao got up early as usual. After doing some more practice, he walked out of the room as agreed yesterday. After going out, he found that except for the young children, almost all the men in the village were ready to go. A rough calculation showed that there were half a hundred people. He couldn't help but think: Does it take so much effort to collect medicine? After seeing him go out, Sima Kong hurriedly stepped forward and took his arm, asking him with concern whether he could rest well last night. Even the people behind him came over and said hello to him. Such enthusiasm made Ming Xiao quite unaccustomed and confused. However, when he felt the sincere eyes of everyone, he still felt warm in his heart, thinking to himself that the people here treated guests really differently. After adjusting for a while, everyone left the village in a hurry and headed towards the goal. But a rather strange thing happened before leaving, which made Ming Xiao frown slightly. In the stone houses on both sides of the road, whether it was women or children, they all came out after hearing everyone's movements. Although they didn't speak, they still You can clearly see the worry in their expressions. He shook his head, thinking that this was not his business, and then he followed the others. There seems to be no good scenery along the way. There are only a few weeds on both sides that look very lonely. The only thing that dazzles people is the rolling stone group with no visible edges. Sima Kong has been walking at the front of the team, and the speed has been kept at an extremely fast level. No one spoke during the journey, and it was so quiet that it was a bit scary. After walking for several hours, some people with weaker physiques really couldn't hold on. Then he stopped to take a rest. At this time, Sima Kong in front seemed to have nothing to do and was dangling in the team with his hands behind his back. When he walked in front of Ming Xiao, he always paused strangely. The heaviness between his brows would be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. , and the people around him also looked at him nervously. Seeing this, Ming Xiao, who was quite confused, touched the tip of his nose. When Sima Kong walked up to him again, he moved his lips slightly and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Senior, what do you have to say? Just say it!" Hearing the sound suddenly, the old man was slightly startled, and then he saw Ming Xiao in front of him with a smile on his face. The old man blushed and whispered: "Speak aside with a confused expression. Ming Xiao followed him to the big rock not far away. When he arrived, Sima Kong, who had always been steady, hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word. Finally, after Ming Xiao asked several questions, he sighed heavily. "I'm really sorry, little friend, if I don't explain clearly, I will feel guilty!" "Oh?" Recalling the situation in the village before, Ming Xiao had a vague suspicion in his mind. "Hey! To be honest, there will be certain dangers in going this time!" After speaking, he looked up and saw the other party's silent expression. For fear that he would be angry, Sima Kong quickly continued: "The thing is like this, our Weiyuan Village Every household is based on medical skills, and medicinal materials are like a second life to us. Moreover, nearby villages and even some powerful forces come to us for treatment if they have any disease or pain. If there is no As for the medicinal materials, I don¡¯t know what it will be like." Ming Xiao, who was about to reply, was stopped by a slight clap of his hands, and then he heard: "We will go to the 'Burial Stone' to collect medicinal materials every generation, so we can live a peaceful life. It's pleasant, and I can still cope with the occasional encounter with some low-level monsters." After saying this, Sima Kong paused for a moment, and then said with a hint of sadness: "But the good times didn't last long, just three years ago. , for some reason, there was a sudden big earthquake in the 'Burial Stone Place'. At that time, the wind was howling, the sky was dark, and all the big rocks nearby were shaking like crazy, and they were floating and bumping around from time to time. We called it ' "Stone chaos', but these are easy to deal with. The key is that the monsters in that place will be frightened by this, and they will run around in groups. It is easy to deal with two or three, but it will be a bit troublesome if there are too many." That place turned out to be so weird. Even with Ming Xiao's current strength, it was very difficult to deal with the hordes of low-level monsters. Then he thought about it again and asked doubtfully: "Senior, why don't you wait for Shi Luan?" "We'll come back to collect herbs later. This way we won't suffer any casualties and we can get what we want." The old man smiled bitterly and said with a bitter look, "I knew you would ask this. It's really easy to deal with it, but it's bad." The bad thing is that in the past few years, when all things grow and the herbs mature, this "rock chaos" will start to cause trouble. Once this time passes, all the herbs will inexplicably dry up, making us miserable. There is no other way, we cannot lack? medicinal materials, so despite the danger, we still come here every year to collect medicines. " "At the beginning, we were lucky. We only suffered some minor injuries and no major casualties. However, misfortunes did happen after all. I will always remember this time last year, when the 'Stone Rebellion' suddenly Attacked, when we all reacted and were quickly gathering the medicinal materials, an accident happened. Dozens of monsters suddenly appeared, and each of them had scarlet eyes. They seemed to be irrational and pounced on anyone they saw. . " Speaking of this, Sima Kong was very high-pitched. He suppressed his blush and his voice increased a lot: "It's a pity for the sons of the Sima family at that time. Although we resisted hard and finally killed them, there are still two good sons in the Sima family. Because of this Therefore." At this moment, Sima Kong was already sobbing, and the trembling long eyebrows showed the pain in his heart. Feeling this sad breath, Ming Xiao sighed softly, and couldn't bear it until the former's mood stabilized slightly. After some time, he spoke softly: "Senior, it's okay! " Sima Kong, who showed his true temperament, was not embarrassed at this moment. He used his sleeve to insert the tears that had not dried up on his face and said slowly: "It's not a problem. It's just that I have some feelings now. I could have prevented these children from coming. Suffering, but what if the 'Stone Rebellion' never stops? Do we have to move or give up medical skills for this? This is impossible, so as a good man of the Sima family, we must shoulder this heavy responsibility, Besides, having more people will make the collection of medicinal materials much faster. If you are lucky, you might be able to get things done before the 'Stone Chaos' comes. " Hearing this, Ming Xiao was in awe. People say that doctors have a parental heart. I believe that this small family of Sima is definitely not doing it for themselves. The purpose of learning medical skills is to save lives and heal the wounded. This is a belief worthy of respect. "Little friend, To tell you the truth, when I checked your pulse a few days ago, I accidentally explored your body and found that there was an extremely strong force in it, and it was no less powerful than that girl at home. That's why I started fighting. I thought that if you came to help us, we would be much safer. If you want to blame me, blame me. You have no time to leave now, and we can understand. " After saying all this, Sima Kong seemed to feel much more relaxed, but when he looked at Ming Xiao, the expectation in his eyes could still be faintly seen. After hearing this, Ming Xiao waved his hands repeatedly without any intention of blaming him. His perception was not aware of the old man's actions that day, but at that time he thought it was normal for others to be wary of a stranger who was rescued, and he didn't mind. Now it seems that there was a reason for it, and it was not just because they saved his life. , just because of the words the other party said before, he has no reason not to help me. "Senior Sima, you are serious. Thank you for your respect. If you don't dislike me, I will definitely accompany you. " "Ha ha! well! ! With the help of my friends, everything will be smooth sailing. " Hearing this, Sima Kong was very pleased and excited, patting Ming Xiao on the shoulder and laughing non-stop. The two talked for a long time, and the Sima family had almost rested, and then the two walked out laughing. Seeing the two Everyone in the Sima family breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ming Xiao with a kind of sincere gratitude. "What a kind person!" " Smiling slightly, Ming Xiao stepped forward and started chatting and laughing with them. This scene was seen by Sima Kong, who kept nodding and smiling. "In this way, the people who set off again opened up the chat box and started chatting all over the world. , and was even more enthusiastic towards Ming Xiao. Not long after, when everyone regained their previous silence, Ming Xiao's heart moved, and his eyes followed everyone's gaze, and a distant and mysterious aura suddenly came to his face. "We're here!" ? "
