Xiaobai stayed in the bushes and watched the excitement for a long time before slowly slipping back.
Here, Shenwazi was sitting on the steps of the bamboo building waiting for Xiaobai, while Mu Qingli and the Chi brothers and sisters came to the witch doctor's house.
At the witch doctor's house, the Chi brothers, the Long family, and two others gathered at the witch doctor's house to discuss things about stones.
"It has been many years since any of our tribesmen in the village were injured or killed by poisonous snakes or wild beasts. It seems that we will have to trouble the witch doctor again in the future to prepare more antidotes. When our tribesmen go into the mountains again, try to bring them with you!" Chi Wanjun said with some sadness.
"There is no problem in preparing the medicine. The main thing is that there are not many herbs left at home. We have to go into the mountains to collect more!" said the witch doctor seriously.
"Going into the mountains to collect herbs..." When it came to going into the mountains, everyone felt a little nervous.
"How about this? We can prepare some herbs at home first, and then have someone go into the mountains to collect them. Then we can prepare more when they come back..." Long San said after pondering for a moment.
“…” The witch doctor was silent for a while.
I was thinking about taking the antidote I made into the mountains to collect herbs to make the antidote. But no matter how I looked at it, this business didn't seem to be worth it.
Long San thought about it and felt that it was a bit unrealistic. How many herbs would be needed to make an antidote? If he took this antidote to collect herbs, he might not even get his money back!
That's not right! How can you use the antidote just by having it? It's only for emergencies. It's impossible that anyone who goes there will be bitten by a poisonous snake or insect and need to use the antidote!
After all these years, isn't Shi Tou the only one who got bitten?
"Witch doctor! I think this is feasible! After all, bringing the antidote is just for emergencies and it may not be used! When the time comes, come back from collecting herbs and make more antidote and distribute it to the tribesmen!" After thinking about it, Long San said what he was thinking.
"Well! This is the only way for now!" The witch doctor thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Tomorrow, we will go to Shitou's house..." Seeing that the witch doctor agreed, Chi Wanshan started talking about Shitou's family.
"Dad!" Chi Zishu brought Mu Qingli and others to the witch doctor's house. From a distance, they saw that the lights in the main hall of the witch doctor's house were still on.
"Zishu! Why are you here so late?" When the people in the main room heard Chi Zishu's voice, they turned their heads and looked outside.
When Chi Zishu appeared with Mu Qingli, Chi Ziheng and others, everyone in the main room looked at each other, stood up and walked to the door.
"Did something happen to Ziheng?" Chi Wanjun asked nervously.
"Dad! Ziheng is fine! But, there is something wrong!" Chi Zishu didn't know what to say for a moment, and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Come in and tell me! What's going on?" Chi Wanjun was confused by what Chi Zishu said, and quickly asked Chi Zishu and the others to come in.
After entering the main hall, the group sat down again, their eyes all on Chi Ziheng.
Chi Ziheng instantly became nervous: "Is this so..."
Chi Ziheng told the story as if he was telling a ghost story, and repeated what Chi Zishu had said, as well as what happened to him last night.
“Nonsense!”
"What nonsense!"
"How is that possible?"
Everyone in the room was stunned by what Chi Ziheng said.
The witch doctor's brows were furrowed into a frown. He felt that his diagnosis could not have been wrong. Shi Tou had indeed died of poisoning three days ago!
"Dad! I didn't lie!" Chi Ziheng said firmly.
"Last night, I saw you go back and turn off the lights to rest. When did you go looking for stones again?" Chi Wanjun asked in confusion.
"After I fell asleep last night, Shi Tou came and knocked on my window! I also climbed out of the window!" Chi Ziheng recalled the scene of last night, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. However, he firmly felt that Shi Tou had indeed come to find him.
"Did you go to the river to wait for Third Sister?" Chi Wanshan asked.
"Yes, Shitou said that Third Sister asked him to go catch eels together to nourish Uncle Yanhan!" Chi Ziheng recalled.
"Zishu, you and Xiaomu go to Third Sister's house and bring her over!" Chi Wanjun said to Chi Zishu with a serious expression.
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Chi Zishu said, then pulled Mu Qingli and turned to walk out.
"Ali! I'm sorry to trouble you again!" Chi Zishu said embarrassedly.
"Zi Shu! Please don't say that! We are here and we feel like we are bothering you!" Mu Qingli said with a smile.
"Oh! Who knew this would happen? How could Shitou, such a good kid, be gone? He and Ziheng had the best relationship and he often came to my house to play!" While walking on the road, Chi Zishu couldn't help but talk about Shitou.
Mu Qingli listened silently. When she walked to the door of a house, she saw a pale lantern hanging at the door and a scarecrow at the door.
"This must be Shitou's house! Here, when there is a wedding or funeral at home, there will be a sign at the door with straw hanging on it, which means that something has happened at home and outsiders are not allowed to enter!" Chi Zishu and the others looked at the door from a distance and did not dare to go closer.
Chi Zishu just pulled Mu Qingli and whispered.
Mu Qingli couldn't help but admire Chi Zishu's courage. Late at night, she was walking on the street, passing by someone's door, and dared to talk about this. This girl was special.
"Oh!" Mu Qingli didn't know what to say, so she just responded faintly.
"Walk a little further and you will reach my third sister's house!" Chi Zishu said, pointing to a three-story building about 300 meters ahead.
"Well! Take your time! We're not in a hurry!" Mu Qingli said with a faint smile.
When we walked to the small building, it was pitch black. It seemed that they had gone to bed long ago.
