"I have cured your poison. You ask someone to help me find the herbs, and then let me go." Chu Ci looked into the distance. He must be anxious now.

The village chief finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

Chu Ci glanced at them and said, "Let's go see where the cooking is."

Chu Ci followed the village chief around in the caves. After passing through several caves, Chu Ci suddenly saw a larger cave filled with piles of herbs. It seemed that they still had the habit of picking various herbs.

Arriving at the place, Chu Ci checked around and finally fixed his sight on a pile of mushrooms. "Don't eat these mushrooms anymore. It's okay to eat a little of this kind of mushroom occasionally, but if you eat it for a long time, the toxins will accumulate and you will have problems."

After she finished speaking, she picked up a stone and drew images of several herbs. She also added the herbs she wanted. It wasn't a big problem anyway. "Go find these herbs. They can cure the poison in your body."

Everyone looked at each other, and a boy who looked relatively young pointed at the picture on the ground and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, these herbs are among the ones we picked."

The village chief looked at the little boy in surprise, "Little Stone, are you sure?"

The boy named Xiao Shitou nodded and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, I'm sure I'm right."

The village chief looked at the boy named Xiao Shitou in disbelief. "They are actually going too far. They are treating us like fools."

"They want us to find the antidote ourselves, give it to them, and then wait for them to give it to us. Haha, we have been so stupid all along."

Chu Ci glanced at the village chief and pondered his words carefully. They? Who were they? Could it be that there were other people in the dead mountain?

The village chief quickly regained consciousness and said to Chu Ci calmly, "Little girl, why don't you accompany me to take a look?"

Chu Ci nodded, "Okay." Chu Ci calmed down and responded to the village chief's words.

A group of people moved to the pile of herbs they had just passed by. When Chu Ci saw the herbs she needed, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. Isn't this something she got without any effort?

Next, she just needs to hide some necessary herbs and find a chance to escape, and the rest will be much easier.

Chu Ci did not hide it from them. He found all the necessary herbs and started to make the medicine.

Although their things are tattered, they are still usable.

The village chief called several people to stand behind Chu Ci throughout the whole process, watching how Chu Ci operated and monitoring Chu Ci at the same time.

After Chu Ci finished boiling the medicine, she was about to give each of them a spoonful when a sharp spear was pressed against her chest. "Little girl, thank you for helping me with the detoxification, but it's impossible for you to leave. Not only do we disagree, but no one else will let you leave either."

Chu Ci said nothing, watching them drink all the medicine. He looked at the village chief fearlessly, "Village chief, do you think so too?"

The village chief said nothing.

Chu Ci stepped closer, "Do you really think I'm so easy to control? I'm so easy to bully that I won't hold back? Did I ever tell you that light and decoctions are useless and need to be combined with acupuncture?"

Everyone's faces turned dark, and Chu Ci smiled.

Faced with Chu Ci's approaching step by step, they retreated step by step, but did not dare to cause any harm to Chu Ci.

In this place, being injured means death. They don't care if Chu Ci dies, but if Chu Ci dies, it means the death of all of them, which is not appropriate.

The village chief looked at Chu Ci, his eyes full of helplessness, "Okay, put away your spears, and don't be so eager to fight and kill."

In this way, Chu Ci was able to move freely in this cave. Every day he either gave them acupuncture or boiled medicine for them. The village chief and other villagers gradually began to respect Chu Ci.

This day was the seventh day. Chu Ci got up early in the morning, finished all his work, found the village chief, and looked at him, "Let's talk."

The village chief nodded. He knew that he should be able to meet the little girl by then, and besides, their villagers were almost well again.

The two men walked to the edge of the waterfall and sat down. Chu Ci spoke first, "Village Chief, have you ever thought about taking them away? Since I can get in, it means I can get out."

The village chief smiled in relief, "Little girl, it's not that I don't want to go out."

At this point, the village chief looked towards the distant mountains and said, "Our concerns are still here, and we can't leave. If we leave, there will be unexpected consequences."

Chu Ci followed the village chief's gaze and it seemed that this Death Mountain was really not simple and there were probably many secrets here.

Chu Ci thought silently for a moment, "Village Chief, I actually have an idea. Let's discuss it."

Chu Ci told Murakami what he was thinking, and the village chief fell silent.

He looked back at the child he had just rescued, and finally nodded helplessly, "This matter is settled, but we can't let anyone else know. If it gets out, it will be bad."

Chu Ci nodded, "Then it's settled."

No one knows what the two people agreed on.

Chu Ci stood up, thinking of the herbs he had stolen in his arms, and bowed deeply to the village chief. "Village chief, let's part ways here."

Chu Ci took advantage of the fact that no one around him was paying attention and turned around to run.

At this moment, the tall man who was originally responsible for watching her stood up, holding Chang Mou's Chuci, and said, "No, Village Chief, we must not let her leave. What if she leaves and tells our secret to others?"

Chu Ci thought that today was the seventh day. She didn't want to waste time talking to them. She looked at the tall man and said, "Village Chief, I'm not going to hide it from you. I poisoned the water you drank. If I leave today, everyone will be safe. If I stay, you will all be buried with me."

Chu Ci spread his hands and said, "I can exchange one of your lives for hundreds of yours. It doesn't matter. Come on."

The villagers were speechless, even the knowledgeable village chief was speechless, "Little girl, you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve."

Chu Ci waved his hand, "It's just normal. I don't have enough means, and I don't dare to come out alone."

The village chief looked at his fellow villagers and said, "Alright, all of you stay here. Little girl, I'll take you there."

Chu Ci nodded. She walked ahead, following the mark she had left, and kept moving forward. The village chief followed behind but soon couldn't catch up. Chu Ci took out the antidote and threw it to the village chief. "Here's the antidote. If it happens a third time, I won't be so easy to talk to."

Chu Ci ran quickly along the same path and soon found the vicious cliff he had climbed down. Chu Ci saw that it was getting late, so he climbed up the tree along the same path, then found a lot of vines, wrapped them around his body, and began to climb up the tree growing on the cliff.

She walked slowly along the cliff until she touched the rope, and then she slowly felt relieved.

By this time, it was already dark.
