The medicinal herbs were quickly returned.
Li Sheng, who was in charge of collecting herbs, was worried that the wounded would need the medicine, so he collected some and had Li Jing's men send it back first.
He and another person continued their work.
Li Jing's men hurriedly shoved the herbs into Song Chengfeng's hands...
Before Song Chengfeng could say a word to him, the other man turned and left, seemingly in a hurry to go back and continue his work.
Song Chengfeng couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, but he felt that things weren't going smoothly.
He brought the medicine in his arms close to his nose, took a careful sniff, and his brows furrowed more and more tightly.
He inspected all the medicinal herbs, and his face looked extremely ugly.
Since things had come to this, he could only use the medicine he had on him as a temporary measure, and went out to find Li Jing first.
The two stood alone outside the hall, their hands several feet apart.
After Song Chengfeng finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly turned sour, and it was clear that Li Jing was extremely annoyed.
The ceremony was about to end, and if it weren't for the urgent need to protect the merchants and the Song family, Li Jing would have loved to go over in person.
"We'll send three people, and you can send one to lead the way, how about that?"
Song Chengfeng made the suggestion.
Li Jing gave a self-deprecating smile.
Now, even her own subordinates, apart from traitors, have reached a point where no one can be absolutely trusted.
After a short pause, once Li Jing agreed, Song Chengfeng immediately explained the situation to his elder brother.
The three members of the Song family who knew martial arts were all on guard against the outside...
Song Chengfeng asked Jiang Xinyu for help, and the latter didn't hesitate at all, even asking for two more people.
After the group left, Song Chengfeng took out several medicinal herbs from his pocket, which he had prepared beforehand...
Grind it into powder, wrap it in oiled paper, and slip it to Li Jing when no one is looking.
After saying a few words in a low voice, Li Jing turned and left, while Song Chengfeng began to prepare the medicinal herbs.
The medicinal herbs that Li Ming's men had previously sent back were carefully stored away and handed over to his second brother, Song Chengjian, to prevent them from being taken by mistake.
It can also be used as evidence when necessary.
The monks helped to brew the medicine, and the drinking water was carried back by the fourth and fifth brothers, and inspected by the sixth brother, Song Chengfeng.
The more cautious he was, coupled with his previous actions, the more vigilant the people present became.
With numerous injuries and limited medicinal materials available, Song Chengfeng combined acupuncture with decoctions for internal injuries and focused on cleaning and stopping bleeding for external injuries, thus conserving medicinal materials.
Apart from Wen Shishi and the young monks who were fast asleep, everyone else in the hall was on high alert.
Even the wounded dared not fully trust these Da Yin people, nor dared to close their eyes and fall asleep.
A commotion gradually arose outside.
Clearly, it was the end of the shaman's prayer ceremony, and the sounds of the Li people gradually dispersing, their voices mingling with their footsteps.
A moment later, it seemed someone was speaking, someone was arguing, and the noise grew louder and louder...
The footsteps seemed to be heading towards the council chamber.
Reminded by Song Chenghou and Jiang Xinyu, the Song family members and Jiang family subordinates dared not relax their vigilance regarding the movements inside and outside the hall.
When the commotion outside arose, they keenly noticed a low hissing sound in the air.
It's right next to us; if we're not careful, it can be drowned out by the noise from outside.
But only those inside the hall, being so vigilant, were able to notice it.
The sound was very faint, yet it was eerily quiet.
Song Chengjian tidied up, and the tenth brother, Song Chengxin, jumped up and tiptoed to the main entrance of the council hall.
Remind Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, and Ninth Brother, who are outside the door keeping an eye on things, to pay attention.
The walls inside the hall were mainly guarded by Chiang Kai-shek's men.
They crouched low, carefully inspecting the corners of the walls and around the windowsills.
Although no obvious clues were found, everyone was on edge and dared not relax for a moment.
Sudden!
"ah!"
One of Chiang's men exclaimed in alarm, seeing a curved object, like an arrow released from a bow, strike the man precisely...
The man clutched his neck and collapsed instantly, drawing the attention of the others.
In that moment of distraction, dozens of curved objects rushed into the window!
"Close the window!"
"Close the window!"
"Stand back!"
Song Chengfeng's voice, along with that of his eldest and second eldest brothers, rang out simultaneously.
Only then did everyone realize that what had attacked the Jiang family's men was a brightly patterned tongue, and the lips of the person who had been bitten had turned black...
It is undoubtedly highly poisonous.
Song Chengfeng had arranged for insect repellent powder to be sprinkled on the windowsills and corners of the walls beforehand...
Unexpectedly, the venomous snakes on Limu Mountain are so powerful that they can leap so high without even touching the windowsill.
As they closed the window, two more of Chiang's men were bitten, but they did not hesitate to close the window.
Before I closed the window, seven or eight flower snakes jumped up.
Standing in the center of the council chamber, it flicked its long tongue and stared intently at the crowd...
