The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous
Chapter 187: Forbidden Forest
When we first entered the dense forest, the vision inside was still relatively bright, but the further we went inside, the closer we could see in front of us.
"It's foggy." In order to facilitate everyone's communication in the dense forest, Su Tang installed a communicator in each protective suit helmet.
Although there are no base stations in this era, the communicator installed by Su Tang does not need one. However, this short-distance communication also has its disadvantages, which is that the distance between them cannot be too far.
"Got it." After hearing Su Tang's words, Qi Feng and others responded one after another.
This is also what Su Tang required, so that everyone can adapt to modern communication equipment as soon as possible.
The few of them walked forward in silence, and along the way Su Tang and the others did not see a single wild animal in the dense forest.
This is a bit too weird.
From time to time, everyone will share what they have discovered.
The dense forest was suddenly quiet, with only the sound of Su Tang and her companions' footsteps.
"Are we in the forbidden area now?" Su Tang asked while chopping the surrounding branches with a long knife and turning on the intercom.
"Not yet. It is said that there are no such dense trees in the forbidden area, and it is not as humid as outside." Qi Lingheng's voice came into the headset.
"Oh, we've been walking for such a long time, but we haven't seen a single insect." Qi Yan and Qi Feng were walking at the end of the team, one in front and one behind. Qi Yan was at the back, and he also had a long knife in his hand, chopping the surrounding grass and trees from time to time.
"Yeah, this is too weird." Su Tang muttered.
"The poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang are not ordinary insects. They may seem harmless, but they are all poisonous. Witch doctors in southern Xinjiang also come here to catch wild poisonous insects for use as medicine." Qi Lingheng said.
"You seem to know a lot about poisonous insects. Have you been to Southern Xinjiang before?"
"No, we have never been here." Qi Yan replied.
Su Tang...but why did she feel like Qi Lingheng didn't seem to have been here before?
They walked for another four or five hours. Since there was no sunlight in the dense forest and it was always dark, Su Tang took out her electronic watch to check the time.
Several people planned to find a relatively flat place to return to the space and rest for a while.
"That dense forest is the most difficult place I have ever been to." In the space, Qi Yan took off his protective suit and put it aside, then took the kettle beside him and drank some water.
Wearing protective clothing and walking in such a damp place, they all sweated a lot and needed to replenish water and energy in time.
"It's really not easy to walk." Su Tang had also been to the tropical rainforest in modern times, and the difficulty was about the same as this trip to the dense forest.
Let’s replenish our energy and have a good sleep before going out.
There was no rush, and in an unknown place, Su Tang and the others had better maintain their physical strength to deal with unexpected events.
"Okay." Several people agreed and went back to their rooms to rest.
Su Tang took a look at the protective suits that everyone had taken off, and on the spur of the moment, she sent the clothes to the disinfection room. When she went out again tomorrow, she would get new protective suits.
Su Tang also went back to her room and had a good sleep.
After using up all my energy every day, I can always sleep soundly.
Coming out of the room, Su Tang saw three people meditating in the room.
It seems that these three people got up much earlier than her.
Hearing Su Tang's footsteps, Qi Lingheng slowly opened his closed eyes.
"If I start practicing your kung fu now, will it be too late?" Su Tang still envied Qi Lingheng and the others' kung fu, especially the kind of kung fu that could allow one to fly over eaves and walls by relying on internal strength.
"It's a little over." Qi Lingheng had a gentle smile on his face, "If you want to fly, I can take you."
"That's not necessary." Su Tang quickly shook her head. Qi Feng and Qi Yan were in the room, and this guy didn't even know how to be discreet.
"Shall we leave now?" Qi Lingheng asked.
"Well, let's have some breakfast and then we'll go."
Su Tang estimated that it should be around ten o'clock in the morning there.
Even though the light is dim in the dense forest, it is always safer to walk in the daytime.
After coming out of the space, Su Tang and others began their difficult journey through the dense forest again.
After walking for two days, they finally walked out of the damp, miasma-filled jungle.
Although there is still a forest ahead, the trees are not as dense as before, and the ground is hard, making it much easier to walk.
"Should we take off this protective suit?" Qi Feng asked.
"Let's wear it. This outfit can also keep out insects." Su Tang was worried that the primitive poisonous insects here would suddenly drill into everyone's bodies.
After walking for a while, Qi Feng, who was walking in the front, suddenly shouted in the communicator, "Master, there is a stone wall ahead."
Stone wall? That means it was man-made.
When Su Tang and others caught up, they did see a stone wall more than one person tall in the distance in front of them.
"The stone wall seems to be quite long. Could it be that a clan of witch doctors from southern Xinjiang live there?" Su Tang asked in surprise.
"Not sure, let's be careful." Qi Lingheng shook his head.
The few of them gradually approached the stone wall, but they did not find any door to enter in the direction from which Su Tang and the others came.
"I'll go up to the wall and take a look." Qi Feng said.
"No, you're wearing protective clothing. If you jump up there, you'll just be a target." Su Tang shook her head. She took out a drone and decided to use it to investigate.
As the drone flew high up, the situation inside the stone wall came into everyone's sight.
The internal situation was displayed on the device used by Su Tang to control the drone.
There were indeed people inside the stone wall, but not many, only about a dozen.
After hearing the sound of the drone, these people came out of the stone house one after another.
Those people looked up at the drone flying high in the sky, and Su Tang also collected information about the topography of the area.
Su Tang controlled the drone to fly in another direction until it approached the miasma-filled forest again and then let the drone hover in the air.
The drone really attracted some people, and those people chased the drone. However, because the drone was flying too high, they couldn't do anything with it for a while.
Su Tang and a few others went around to the other side of the stone wall, where there was a wooden door. Su Tang planned to face these people face to face.
"Who are you?" The people inside the stone wall discovered Su Tang and others coming around from the other side.
Looking at the strange attire of Su Tang and the others, the people inside the stone wall pointed the long knives in their hands at them warily.
"We accidentally entered this forest and got lost." Su Tang turned on the voice of the protective suit and said.
“You are not from Southern Xinjiang!”
Everyone in southern Xinjiang knows that this area is a forbidden area for the southern Xinjiang witch doctor clan, and it is impossible for anyone from southern Xinjiang to trespass here.
A hundred years ago, someone might have mistakenly entered here, but since no one who entered here has walked out alive, no one has mistakenly entered here for a long time.
Those people didn't believe Su Tang's words at all.
They were sure that Su Tang and his companions were not from southern Xinjiang.
Seeing that Su Tang and the others were silent, a man walked out from the stone wall. The man was obviously dressed differently from the others. She raised her hand and pointed at Su Tang and the others, "Catch them."
No matter who the newcomers are, as long as they trespass into the forbidden area of southern Xinjiang, they will never get out alive.
"Yes." Someone inside the stone wall responded, and seven or eight sturdy men came out immediately and were about to capture Su Tang and the others.
Seeing this, Qi Lingheng moved his feet. Wearing protective clothing did not hinder his movements.
He also held a long knife in his hand at this time, which they had used to chop branches on the road in the dense forest.
Qi Lingheng held a long sword in his hand and stood in front of Su Tang, fighting side by side with Qi Feng. Qi Yan also automatically moved behind Su Tang to protect her.
Su Tang used the communicator in her protective suit to tell Qi Feng and the others, "You guys retreat. Don't waste your energy fighting."
The communication sounds inside the protective suits could not be heard by people outside. Qi Lingheng and Qi Feng simply retreated to a position side by side with Su Tang, and continued to be on guard on the left and right.
Su Tang raised the corner of her mouth slightly as she looked at the people from southern Xinjiang who rushed out of the stone wall. When they ran to within five steps of Su Tang, she raised a handful of medicine powder.
"Plop..." The people from southern Xinjiang already had a bad feeling when Su Tang raised his hand, but it was too late for them to stop running.
One by one, they were immediately knocked unconscious by the drug and fell asleep lying on the ground.
"You also know about poison!" The person who just spoke inside the stone wall spoke again.
"Well, do you want a few more?" Su Tang shook her hand and made a gesture of reaching for something from her back.
"What is your purpose here?" asked the man inside the stone wall.
"I originally wanted to come in and catch some poisonous insects, but I didn't expect there were people living here." Su Tang replied.
"You want a poisonous insect?!" the person inside the stone wall raised his voice slightly.
"Yes." Su Tang replied.
"Don't you know that the Gu worms in Southern Xinjiang are not given to outsiders?"
"I know, otherwise why would I come here to catch it myself." Su Tang had a smile on her face inside the protective suit.
"There are no wild poisonous insects here. You'd better leave. I won't pursue the charge of trespassing into the forbidden area." The man said again.
"We have worked hard to come here, but we didn't get the Gu worm. We will definitely have to stay for a few more days. Since you don't have it here, let's go somewhere else."
After Su Tang finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Su Tang had just taken two steps when the man's voice came from behind her again.
Su Tang turned around and looked. The man stepped forward and said, "Come in. I'll give you a few. You and your people leave quickly."
Su Tang: "Okay."
"Are we going in like this?" Qi Yan asked in the communicator.
"Well, stay closer to me for a while, and I'll take you back to the space if anything happens."
At this time, the wooden door in front of them was wide open, and the people inside the stone wall stood on both sides, looking at Su Tang and the others warily.
"Your clothes are very strange. Where are you from?"
"It's not convenient to tell you." Su Tang didn't want to lead these people to Dayong to settle accounts with her in the future.
After hearing what Su Tang said, those people stopped asking questions.
Su Tang and the others were brought to a stone chamber, and the leader said, "Please come in, the poisonous insects are all in this stone chamber."
"Just take some out, and I won't go in and disturb you." Su Tang refused.
"Ali, go in and get some poisonous insects." The leader said to the woman beside him.
The man responded, entered the stone chamber, and quickly took out several white jade boxes.
Wow, this thing looks quite rare, and it’s even packed in a jade box.
Seven or eight jade boxes were soon placed on the stone table in front of Su Tang.
The woman named Ali reached out and opened the jade boxes one by one.
I saw that each jade box had a layer, each containing a slightly larger fleshy worm and varying numbers of small fleshy worms.
This should be the mother and child Gu. I didn’t expect that they were raised together.
"These are all mother-child Gu, we are giving them to you." The leader said, then paused, "But I don't want you to come a second time. We just don't want to have a conflict with you, but we are not cowards."
"I understand." Su Tang nodded and replied, "Then please close the box again."
Su Tang doesn't want to touch upon these things now as she hasn't figured out the insect yet.
Ali stepped forward again and closed the jade boxes one by one.
Su Tang stretched out her hand and waved it above the stone table, and the jade boxes containing the mother-and-child Gu were instantly collected into her space.
The ability to collect items and make them disappear out of thin air really shocked the people from southern Xinjiang who were around.
They had just been keeping their eyes on Su Tang and the others. Although they were wearing strange clothes, they didn't look like they could hide anything.
What's more, those jade boxes were all laid out one by one.
There was not even a sound.
"Haha, I didn't expect that this girl has such a clever method." The leading person praised.
"It's just a little trick. We'll take our leave then." Su Tang bowed and prepared to leave with Qi Lingheng and others.
"You can't leave!!" At this time, an older voice sounded. Su Tang looked around but didn't find out who was talking.
"High Priest!" However, these people from Southern Xinjiang bowed and worshipped in one direction.
An old woman holding a wooden stick walked out of a stone house.
The man's face was covered with wrinkles, but he had long, thick black hair, which looked very incongruous.
"You can't leave." The old woman walked up to Su Tang and said again.
"I'm afraid you can't stop me even if you want to." Su Tang looked at the old woman warily.
"Do you have this tag on you?" However, the old woman was not angry because of Su Tang's words. She took out a tag from her arms and handed it to Su Tang.
Seeing this, Su Tang narrowed her eyes in her protective suit.
This brand was exactly the same as the one she found in Professor Tian’s old house.
Qi Lingheng also saw it. He had seen that brand before.
"I haven't seen it before, what's wrong?" Su Tang just glanced and immediately looked away.
"Impossible!" the old woman said in disbelief.
"Why would I lie to you? But what brand is this?" Su Tang lied again.
"Are you sure you haven't seen this brand before?" the old woman continued to ask, staring at Su Tang.
Because of the protective clothing, the old woman couldn't see Su Tang's gaze, but even so, she still stared at Su Tang without blinking.
"never seen it."
"Then you can leave." The old woman took back the sign and signaled Su Tang and the others that they could leave.
It was really strange that the old lady stopped me for no reason just to ask me if I had seen that brand.
But Su Tang didn't want to ask at this moment, so it was better to leave quickly.
Seeing Su Tang and others leave, the people from Southern Xinjiang inside the stone wall did not stop them.
It was not until Su Tang and the others walked away and their figures gradually disappeared into the dense forest of miasma that the person standing next to the old woman asked, "High Priest, what's wrong with those people?"
