Feng Xiatian climbed onto the bed obediently and half-lay on it.
"You take care of him here, I'll go for a walk in the village and get a feel for the situation." Gu Qingxi said to Lekong. Then he took out a bottle from the bag on his waist and handed it to Lekong.
"What is this? Is it a healing pill?" Lekong asked as he tried to open it.
"No, it's poison. Someone wants to harm you, just sprinkle it on his face. As long as the powder flies into his eyes and nostrils, he will die." Gu Qingxi replied.
Lekong's hand froze, and he quickly plugged the bottle again.
"It's so poisonous, what if I inhale it myself?" Lekong asked in horror. "
There is an antidote, and the poison will take a few breaths. You should either take it before sprinkling the poison, or take the antidote as soon as you sprinkle it." Gu Qingxi took out another bottle and handed it to Kong. Lekong
: "...Why do you still carry such poison with you?"
"If you don't have time to take the antidote, will you die?" Feng Xiatian asked in horror.
Gu Qingxi: "If your hand speed is slow, take the antidote first. Okay, I'll go out and check it out first, you wait here."
Gu Qingxi went out and wandered around the village.
The houses in the village are clearly divided into those with people living in them and those without.
In houses with people living in them, firewood will be piled in the yard and the door will be closed. In houses without people living in them, the yard will be dilapidated and empty, and the door will be half open.
On this way, I met many monks. These monks were traveling in groups of three or two, and their clothes were also of various styles. Some people's robes were still intact, while some were tattered, wearing simple clothes or pants made of animal fur.
Gu Qingxi also found that some people's clothes, she could even recognize the sect that this monk used to belong to. For example, there was a disciple of Hanyue Sect. The disciple of Hanyue Sect had a relatively complete robe, but the boots on his feet were worn out, and the toes were exposed. He looked very desolate.
But such clothes were still good among these monks.
Everyone was in a hurry. Most of them were heading towards the village entrance, and it seemed that they were all going to the same purpose as the sword-bearing man, to hunt in the mountains.
However, there were a few people walking to the back of the village, and they were also in a hurry. Gu Qingxi guessed that they were either hunting or collecting other survival supplies.
Gu Qingxi's slow movements were very abrupt here. But no one had time to care about her.
Occasionally, a few people looked at Gu Qingxi with pity, ridicule, and more indifference.
There was even someone who looked at Gu Qingxi as if he was looking at a dead person.
But no one stopped to say a word to Gu Qingxi.
This also made Gu Qingxi sure that what the sword-bearing man said before was mostly true.
Confirming this made Gu Qingxi feel worse.
In this weird place, with such a bad living environment, have these people never thought about leaving?
That must be impossible. If these people could leave, they would have left long ago.
In other words, these people have not found a way to leave.
Food is hunted in the mountains, so what about water?
Gu Qingxi finally found a pool at the end of the village. What surprised Gu Qingxi was that the water in the pool was still running water. Because the water was connected by many hollowed-out bamboos and drained from the back mountain. I think it was made by the people who fell into this space before.
After walking around, Gu Qingxi returned to the stone house.
"What those idiots at the entrance of the village said before might be true, so we have to go up the mountain to hunt for some food. When we were in the cave before, we ate the Bigu Pill. But I only have one bottle of Bigu Pill with me, and there are not many left." Gu Qingxi frowned. If you can't get out of here in a short time, you have to make some preparations.
"I'll go with you, and the lame man will stay at home." Lekong handed the poison and antidote to Feng Xia Tian.
"You baldy, talk nicely." Feng Xia Tian retorted dissatisfiedly.
Before Lekong could speak, he saw Gu Qingxi's face darken. She looked at Feng Xiatian expressionlessly and said sinisterly, "Don't let me hear the word bald before my hair grows out."
Feng Xiatian shuddered and nodded vigorously. He could see that losing her hair was really a big shock to Gu Qingxi. Lekong suppressed
his laughter and cast a gloating look at Feng Xiatian.
Just like that, Gu Qingxi and Lekong went out, then out of the village, and went up the mountain again along the previous path.
Gu Qingxi was thinking about a question. Which day of hunting was this?
She and Lekong had been recuperating in the cave for five days. During these five days, she had not encountered the monsters that the sword-bearing man mentioned, nor had she encountered any monks who came to hunt. Are these five days five of the ten days in January when hunting is allowed? Because the cave is relatively hidden, no monk has not discovered it.
So, is there only five days left for them to hunt?
Gu Qingxi carried her Hanquan sword on her back, and Lekong held the dagger given by Gu Qingxi. The two of them started to hunt for prey in the mountains.
Then Gu Qingxi discovered a problem. The prey here was very ferocious. Although they were not big, they were fast, and their teeth and claws were very sharp. If you don't handle them carefully, it would be very dangerous and easy to get hurt.
In this space, the storage bag could not be opened to take out the healing medicine. It was a very serious problem if you were injured and could not get treatment. Those who were seriously injured might really have to wait for death.
Moreover, the animals here are all black. The most common one is an animal about the size of a bamboo rat, but the teeth and claws of this animal are much sharper.
Gu Qingxi named this creature, the black rat. Lekong sighed, this name, tsk, as always Qingxi's style.
And Gu Qingxi found that this animal is an omnivore. It eats leaves, but also meat. Moreover, they were typical bullies who were afraid of the strong and the weak. The black rats that had originally wanted to attack Gu Qingxi fled in panic after seeing her kill a small black beast with one sword. They fled
in panic, just like they were in a desperate situation when they met a tough opponent.
Gu Qingxi also found that the black rats had poor eyesight. When they were chased, they ran too fast and couldn't see clearly in front of them. As a result, they ran into a big tree and fainted.
Gu Qingxi thought that this kind of stupid animal was the easiest to hunt, so she picked up this kind of black rat and caught it. She caught several in a short time, and then tied them into a string and let Kong carry them.
If other cultivators in the village saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked.
They think black rats are one of the most difficult prey. These black rats like to live in groups, and they always attack people in a rush. They are fast, and their teeth and claws are very sharp, making them very difficult to deal with. The monks will avoid these black rats. Gu Qingxi specifically kills this kind of black rats.
"Qingxi, why are you still so powerful even without spiritual power?" Lekong asked, taking a breath while carrying a few black rats on his back.
