The princess changed her widow's life by fortune-telling

Chapter 534 The Person Who Has Entered the Lost Forest
The next afternoon, the prefect sent someone to send over a list of some people who had been to the mountain recently, including the date, time and approximate location.

Pei Zimo looked at the first batch of lists, and sighed softly. Wu Mei said that the mist would only appear on nights when there was a moon, but the group of people at present almost all went during the day, whether it was digging wild vegetables, picking Medicinal materials or chopping firewood are both good, these must be done during the day, so there is no one she wants in this batch of lists.

In the next two days, lists were sent one after another, and it was not until the last list that there was finally someone Pei Zimo wanted to find, so he hurried out with Bai Jinye.

This man's name was Li Zhidong, and the reason why he was on the last batch of lists was because he had been ill since he came back from the mountain. He was so weak that he couldn't get out of bed these days, and it was his wife who helped him register at the Yamen.

When the government officials brought Bai Jinye and Pei Zimo to him, Li Zhidong still couldn't get out of bed.

But his house was too cramped, and in the end it was the people from the government office who helped him carry Li Zhidong to a wooden chair outside and sit down.

When Li Zhidong went outside, he raised his hand to block the sun, as if he was not used to the sun shining on his body.

After the people from the government office explained the purpose of their visit, Li Zhidong recounted what he had encountered that day.

His ancestors practiced medicine, but in his generation, the medical skills have not been handed down. The only thing left is that he followed his parents to the mountains to collect herbs when he was young, so he knows a lot of medicinal materials.

He now makes a living by collecting and selling medicinal materials.

Every time he goes to collect herbs, he goes alone and rarely joins with others, because he has several excellent locations for collecting herbs, and he is unwilling to tell others.

In these places, he can always pick some herbs that others cannot pick, and even if it is the same herbs, the ones he picks are better than others, so the medicine shops in Fuzhou City are willing to Collect his medicinal materials.

However, wealth and honor are sought in danger, in fact, those locations are in the lost forest of Beishan.

Every time he tied a rope around his waist, the other end of the rope was tied to a tree outside the Misty Forest, and every step he took made a mark.

Relying on this double insurance, he hasn't had any accidents these years.

That day, as usual, he went to Beishan to collect medicinal materials.

But when he came out of the Milin, it was a fine day, but it rained heavily.

The road was too slippery on a rainy day, he fell down twice, and even sprinkled some herbs, which had already been ordered by the pharmacy, and he was not willing to waste it like this, just happened to remember that there was a cave not far away, so he went to that cave Shed the rain inside.

Who would have thought that the rain would stop until midnight, and after the rain stopped, the sky would immediately clear up, and the moonlight was very bright, which was just convenient for him to go down the mountain.

He planned to wait for a while, until the accumulated water on the ground flowed downhill and the road was not so slippery, before he went down the mountain.

As a result, the sound of footsteps and passing through the woods suddenly came from outside.

He often collects herbs on the mountain, so of course he can hear the sound of beasts, and with this dense sound, there must be a lot of beasts.

He didn't know what happened, but in this way, he didn't dare to go out even more. If he ran into a ferocious beast, he would be here.

He even hid in the cave.

After a while, he saw some mist drifting from the direction of Milin.

The mist was white at first, but then it turned red.

When he went up the mountain with his parents before, he had heard of miasma. At that time, he thought it was the miasma after the rain. The miasma must be poisonous, so he didn't dare to stay. He didn't care about any beasts, so he hurriedly carried the medicine on his back. Basket, quickly ran down the mountain.

After running for a while, he met a pack of wolves.

At that time, his legs were so frightened that his legs were weak, but he didn't expect those wolves to rush towards the red mist as if they didn't see him.

When he came back to his senses, the wolves had already entered the red mist, and he saved his life, so he got up and continued running down the mountain.

The speed of the red mist was not slow, and he didn't care about the medicinal materials, so he ran for his life by rolling and crawling all the way.

But seeing that he was at the foot of the mountain, Hong Wu chased after him.

His right leg was covered by the red mist first, and he felt as if he lost consciousness. He fell to the ground and rolled directly down the mountain.

The red mist was also strange. After reaching the foot of the mountain, it never spread forward again.

But the entire Beishan Mountain seemed to be shrouded in a red mist, looking eerie and terrifying under the moonlight.

After sitting for a while, the sensation in his right leg slowly recovered, he picked up a stick, leaned on it, and limped back home.

He didn't know what was going on with the red mist, but he didn't feel right, so after returning home, he immediately dug out the medical books left at home and found a prescription for detoxification. That night, I boiled medicine and water, and took a medicinal bath.

He dried himself off, lay on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, unable to figure out what had happened to him, and when it was almost dawn, he began to vomit and have diarrhea. In addition, red spots appeared on his right leg.

He also asked doctors to see it, but none of these doctors knew what was going on.

He felt that he must have been poisoned by the red mist, so even if the doctors were helpless, he had been taking various detoxification prescriptions for the past few days.

The condition has not deteriorated, and after a few days, it even began to improve.

However, the speed of improvement is not too fast, so it is still very weak now.

"Is the red spot on your leg still there?" Pei Zimo asked.

"Yes." Li Zhidong nodded, wanting to pull up his trousers, but he didn't even have the strength. In the end, his wife helped him pull up his trousers. It's one o'clock."

Pei Zimo looked at the red spots on his legs, frowned slightly, took out a silver needle from his body, and wanted to pierce the red spots.

Li Zhidong looked a little helpless, "A doctor wanted to give needles before, but I don't know why, this place with erythema is no different from other places, but the silver needle just can't go in."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Pei Zimo's needle had penetrated into the red spot.

It's just that this is not an acupuncture point, so when the silver needle is pulled out, blood is naturally bleeding.

Pei Zimo found a cloth, wiped the blood that flowed from the red spot, and looked carefully, the blood was more reddish than normal blood.

But after a while, the color was no different from normal blood.

It seemed that there was also a red mist in the blood, and now that the red mist dissipated, the color returned to normal.

Li Zhidong's body is still weak now, that is, the red mist in his body has not been completely discharged.

Pei Zimo also conveniently helped him get a few more needles on the erythema, and asked his wife to squeeze out more blood, "When the erythema of yours is gone, you should be fine."
