A red apricot climbs the wall

Chapter 53 Snake Weird

The strange old woman who is snake-ridden and raises poisonous snakes is very difficult to deal with

----------------

I asked Su Siman all the way to the Imperial Hospital. Because she was dressed as a palace maid, the people in the Imperial Hospital did not care much about her, just as if she came to get medicine.

The weather is good. Several young descendants of the imperial hospital are busy drying herbs. Susman walked behind the young man in a plain white robe closest to her and bent down and patted him on the shoulder, "Little brother, excuse me."

The man was scared by her all day and almost jumped up from the ground.

"I'm sorry to scare you," Susman smiled unnaturally. "I just want to ask, where is the attic of the collection of medical books?"

"What are you doing there?" The man seemed to be a little confused.

"What's the matter? Can you take me there?"

"I still have to take medicine!"

"I'll help you bask in the sun!" Su Simanle squatted down, grabbed a handful of herbs from the basket and put them in the dustpan.

She is worried that she doesn't know much now, and she is afraid that she can't understand the ancient medical books. During the time when she married to the State of Liang, Su Siman pestered Bixi to teach her literacy. There are always so many words, and she can't finish all of them in a short time. Now she just wants to pester this very kind-looking young man as an interpreter for her. Besides, it's better to have a medical person to give her advice.

The young man saw that she was hot and did not pour cold water on her. With her help, the two quickly dried the herbs and then went to the Medical Classics Pavilion together.

Su Siman had to ask a few questions on the way.

"What do you think is the medicine that has both healing and nourishing effect?"

"There seems to be no medicine that can nourish and heal both wounds and have both effects." The young man thought for a moment before answering. Seeing that Su Siman looked a little depressed, he smiled and said, "What do you little maid want that medicine for?"

"It's not for me, it's... My master ordered me to take this medicine. Is there any?"

"Then I suggest you have a medicinal diet."

Su Siman's eyes lit up: "Positical diet? What kind of food and medicinal materials do you want?

"With all due respect, where is the injured and why was the injury?"

"Well, I'm not sure. It seems... It seems that the ribs are hurt by the sharp blade." Su Siman thought for a moment and replied.

The young man in white smiled again and made a little clear in his heart, "You can use black fish as the main ingredient, supplemented by Angelica astragalus ginseng, and ginger and green onions to make a healthy soup. It tastes delicious and has a good effect."

"At that time, you can write a note for me and write down the weight clearly."

The young man nodded, arrived at the Medical Classic Pavilion, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, waved the pen, wrote down the recipe, and gave a few flavors of medicinal herbs to Su Siman. Su Siman is naturally grateful to him.

Out of the door of the imperial hospital, Su Siman looked at the four roads in front of him, but couldn't remember where he came from, so he had to walk bravely based on his impression.

After walking for a while, Su Siman found that something was wrong, but after turning left and right, she was completely lost. The place where she got lost was a little strange and the buildings were very rare. She wandered around for a long time, but she didn't see a single person, and she couldn't even find anyone who asked for directions.

It's strange how there can be such a lonely place in the palace.

It was obviously a sunny day, but Su Siman's back and neck were chilly. My intuition told me that there must be something wrong with this place! Maybe I accidentally transferred to the cold palace, or some unseeable place in the palace, and I have to leave quickly.

After thinking about it, Su Siman took a closer look at the surrounding environment. There were no other buildings except a few abandoned alleys. It was overgrown with weeds and there was nothing iconic. It was the same everywhere. It was really a place where birds didn't shit. She couldn't tell the southeast or northwest at all. After sighing, Su Siman regained his spirit and began to try to return on the same path. After trying in both directions, it seemed that they were wrong, so he had to return to the abandoned alley.

Su Siman went back to the same place and was about to try a different direction. Suddenly, she heard the grass moving not far away, which made her immediately break out in a cold sweat. In broad daylight, she will not be haunted, will she?! Looking in the direction of the sound, I didn't find anything, but the sound did not stop. On the contrary, it seemed to have increased? More than one place! Su Siman noticed that the grass swayed slightly, and waves came towards him. Shit, there must be something down there!

I can faintly see the dark spots of hemp and hemp in the grass, either a mouse or a snake! Su Siman turned the idea in his mind, and the ghost shouted twice, and the girl ran away, completely losing an inch like a headless fly. Su Siman felt that those things behind her had been chasing her persistently. She had looked back and saw that it was indeed a snake, and it was no less than ten! The big one is three-finger wide, and the small one is two-finger wide. At least, it is more than one meter long, with dark colors and bright spots. Each of them has triangular heads, spitting out scarlet cores from time to time. Su Siman knows that these are all poisonous snakes!

She has grown up, when did she meet this battle! While running wildly, he couldn't help shouting for help. About these snakes stimulated her adrenal secretion and ran extremely fast. Maybe they exceeded the world's famous sprinter. And the dozen snakes seemed to flirt with her and chased her all over the place. Su Siman had been so scared that he lost his soul. When he saw a big tree in front of him, he didn't think about it and ran under the tree. Fortunately, there were many branches, which were not difficult to climb. After spitting on his hand, Su Siman held the tree and climbed up.

When climbing to two-thirds, it was a little shaky, and the branches seemed to be unable to withstand her weight. Su Siman had to move down carefully and find a big tree branch to sit in the middle. Before sitting firmly, I saw that a snake had climbed up the tree, followed by the second and third...

Su Siman sweated coldly and folded a branch and held it in her hand. When she saw a snake approaching, she stabbed it down with a branch. However, it was not likely that there were * snakes coiled on the tree. She was too busy. Then he shook his hand and lifted a snake down again, and the other snake came up again. His tail wrapped around the branch several times, and his body rushed up flexibly and bit him straight to Su Siman's buttocks squeezed in the empty place. Fortunately, Su Siman was about to get up and want to change his posture and almost escaped. The snake's poisonous teeth bit Su Siman's skirt and was hooked to death. He stopped, and the tail wrapped around the branch was almost loosened by Su Siman's strength. The snake was obviously in pain and seemed to be a little angry. It sprayed a large mouthful of poison at Su Siman. At this time, Su Siman found that the skirt was hooked by the poisonous teeth of the snake. He saw the transparent ** that the fountain shot strongly at him, and the skirt was wet. Su Siman was stimulated by this, and the seven souls had already lost their five souls, "Ah!!!" He screamed, closed his eyes, waved the branch crazily in his hand, and beat the snake desperately.

Su Siman was so scared that he only felt that he was going to collapse. His legs were weak, his scalp was numb, his back was cold, and his forehead was sweating profusely.

The other dozen snakes were ready to wrap around the tree and slowly approached her.

She thought vaguely: Today, she will probably die under the siege of the poisonous snake... But the next second, she told herself that she can't despair, can't wait to die, can't die! Never!

Just as she waved the branches again to resist the snakes, there was a rapid whistle in her ears, and then she saw the snakes unwillingly spitting out the core at her, stretching their flexible necks, and finally slowly retreating from the tree. She looked at the strange scene in front of her and couldn't be distracted. When those snakes went down, she was finally relieved and suddenly hugged her arm and cried. She had never been so afraid! It's like walking in front of the ghost gate.

"Girl, I'm shocked." A somewhat desolate voice sounded under the tree.

Su Siman stopped crying, wiped his face, and looked at the man under the tree.

is an old woman who looks young, with several terrible scars on her face and a floral scarf on her head. She is looking up at Su Siman in surprise.

Su Siman did not move and looked at the old woman warily. In such a ghost place, such an unknown and suspicious-faced old woman appeared, which was no less exciting than being chased by a snake.

"Girl, are you afraid of these snakes?" The old woman smiled strangely, pouted and whistled again. Before this sound, it was not sharp, but soft. The snakes on the ground stood up one by one, swayed their bodies to the old woman, shaking their heads, as if they were dancing. As her whistle stopped, the snake returned to normal and surrounded her feet obediently.

"You raised all these poisonous snakes?" Su Siman asked with a white face.

"Not bad." The old woman replied proudly, with a little pride and sadness on her face.

"How can you be allowed to raise snakes in the palace?" Su Siman asked again.

The old woman sneered: "You don't care about this. Naturally, it's useful."

"Can you keep your snakes from here? I'm coming down." Su Siman changed his hand to hold the tree and was a little eager.

"Why?" The old woman sneered again.

Su Siman choked for a moment, and it seemed that the old woman was a little difficult to deal with.

"Who are you? Why do you raise snakes in such a remote place?" Su Siman looked at the snakes and asked softly with fear.

"Old lady still wants to know how you came to this shabby place. Don't you know that this is a forbidden place?" The old woman's tone was very harsh, and her expression was a little more ferocious. Su Siman looked at her and was chilled.

Looking up at the sky, it's almost noon. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I'll wear it. It will be miserable if it's not her lying in the bedroom. Su Siman was anxious and began to plead with the old woman in a low voice, but the more she pleaded, the more strange the old woman looked and had no intention of getting her snake away at all. Talking to her is also a match, so that people can't see any hope. Su Siman racked his brains, used the method, and tried to compromise. The old woman just didn't let go! I'm so anxious! It seems that the old lady can only go back for lunch, and the poisonous snakes can only come down after taking a nap.

Holding this depressing belief, Su Siman asked reluctantly, "Why are your snakes chasing me like ghosts?"

The old woman's eyes flashed, and her face returned as usual. She smiled, and the terrible scar on her face was even more twisted. "It's about the familiar blood on your body."

"Bloody?" Su Siman was stunned and immediately thought of the fact that he had checked his wound when he visited Liang Shaojun before. He may have accidentally stained some blood. These poisonous snakes have a really good sense of smell.

"Old lady can let you down, but you have to promise me one thing."

Su Siman was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Oi, you say it!"

"Tell me your name."

"Uh..." Su Siman's mind turned around quickly. This old lady probably wanted to ask her for compensation, right? He said, "Don't be so troublesome. I'm just a little maid. It's useless for you to know my name. I don't have silver on me at present, but this jade hairpin on my head can give you a thank-you gift.

"You say your name." The old woman is stubborn.

Su Siman thought to herself that this person is so strange that in order to avoid being entangled by her in the future, it's better not to let her know her name, so she said, "My name is Fang Zhe."

"Fang Zhe?" The old woman laughed and obviously took the contempt. "It's not tight. Anyway, my snake recognizes your smell."

Su Siman's back was cold and reluctantly smiled shyly. The old woman was still trustworthy and really led her snake away. Su Siman climbed down the tree in dismay.
