Chapter 2 Two Little Guesses
Chapter 2 has no guesses
With a bang, the door opened.
A girl about fourteen or fifteen years old in a powder blue dress appeared at the door, the girl's slightly wheat-colored skin looked so healthy, her jet-black hair was draped vertically over her shoulders like a waterfall, and her face was slightly red. Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, thin lips like rose petals delicate and delicate.
"Xiu'er, why are you here, out of breath, is something wrong?" Seeing this girl, Chen Xu couldn't help but be surprised.
"Brother Xiaoxu, my hand was bitten by the big yellow dog in the village," Miao Lixiu said and raised her hands. I saw that the hand that was supposed to be slender and smooth was oozing blood at the moment, and there was even blood in some places.
Seeing Miao Lixiu's crying appearance, Chen Xu also chuckled, touched Miao Lixiu's head with his hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, you still don't believe in my medical skills, come and sit down first."
"Hmm," Miao Lixiu sat obediently on the side of the table.
Immediately, Chen Xu also picked up a cotton ball to clean Miao Lixiu's wounds, looking indescribably serious, and her movements were indescribably gentle, but Miao Lixiu, who was held by Chen Xu's hands, was flushed with cheeks, which was very tempting, and her eyes secretly floated Chen Xu from time to time, and then lowered her head shyly.
It's a pity that Chen Xu, who was busy, didn't see it. After a while, after cleaning the wound and prescribing a pair of medicines, Chen Xu raised his head: "Okay, remember to take the medicine when you go back"
"Brother Xiao Xu, after that, I won't leave scars on my hands, it's too ugly" Miao Lixiu nodded, and then looked at Chen Xu nervously.
"Yes"
"Ah" Miao Lixiu was almost about to cry, her hands were injured in a large area, wouldn't it be that there would be scars on her hands in the future, but the nervous Miao Lixiu didn't notice the banter in Chen Xu's eyes when he spoke.
"Xiu'er, don't cry, don't cry, it's not good to cry, I teased you just now, you forgot what happened when you were a child, you go back first, in the afternoon, I will give you a pair of black ointment, so that your scars will be gone" Chen Xu saw Miao Lixiu's demeanor, and hurriedly said.
"Hmph, Brother Xiaoxu, you're so annoying, ignore you" Miao Lixiu pursed her mouth slightly, snorted lightly with an unhappy face, and then jumped towards the door.
Looking at Xiu'er's departing back, Chen Xu's mood became inexplicably brighter, and he couldn't help but chuckle, but his thoughts returned to that afternoon many years ago.
At that time, he was isolated by other children in the village, and he seemed a little lonely and lonely, but that afternoon, something happened that made Chen Xu feel warm in his heart.
"Brother Chen Xu, don't be sad, they are all bad people, don't pay attention to them, I'll play with you" A six or seven-year-old little girl with a ponytail gently pulled Chen Xu's sleeve and said in a milky voice.
"Xiu'er, it's you, I'm fine" Ten-year-old Chen Xu smiled reluctantly at Miao Lixiu, who was only six or seven years old.
"Well, Brother Xiaoxu, you wait a while, I'll give you a gift, but okay, don't go, just wait for me here"
The little Miao Lixiu left quickly, and came back after a while, but in her little hands, she was holding two sweet potatoes, and came to Chen Xu angrily: "Brother Xiao Xu, this is my favorite sweet potato, I just secretly brought it from my house, let's roast it together later."
When she spoke, Miao Lixiu also raised the sweet potato in her hand, her face was happy, and then she pulled Chen Xu to the back mountain in the village.
"Ah, Brother Xiaoxu, will you roast sweet potatoes" Next to the fire, Miao Lixiu looked at Chen Xu's busy appearance, and also blinked her black and white eyes, and asked in a milky voice.
"Yes, it should be" Chen Xu said with a sigh of shame and a weak heart.
"But the sweet potatoes look ripe, and I can smell them."
"Wait a little longer"
"It's all mushy, hurry up and take it out"
"Be careful, don't worry"
After being busy for a long time, there is only one of the two small sweet potatoes left, and it is still half-baked, but Chen Xu and the two of them eat with relish, you take a bite, I take a bite, and I don't care about the black ash on my hands, face, and mouth.
"Brother Xiao Xu, how is it, my gift is good" After eating, Xiu'er looked at Chen Xu very proudly and said with a smile.
"Well, thank you, Xiu'er"
"Then from today on, we will be friends, pull the hook" After Xiu'er finished speaking, she stretched out her dirty fingers and put them in front of Chen Xu's eyes, looking indescribably serious and serious.
"Okay," Chen Xu nodded.
In the afternoon sun, two small figures, two dirty little hands, thumb to thumb, little finger to little finger, hook, face is full of innocent and simple smiles.
In the days that followed, the two often played together and roasted sweet potatoes together, and Miao Lixiu became Chen Xu's only friend in the village.
Once, in order to roast sweet potatoes for Chen Xu, Miao Lixiu also burned her little hands full of blisters, and some places were burned, and the tears in the eyes of the painful little girl were also patches, and Chen Xu was a little distressed when she saw it.
At that time, Chen Xu had already studied Chinese medicine with Mr. Chen, for his friends, he also rummaged through all the medical books of Mr. Chen, after a week of sleepless busyness, he developed a black ointment, and put it on the little girl, although the black ointment is not good-looking, but the effect is very amazing, it didn't take long, and the scars on his hands were all gone.
Le's Miao Lixiu also kissed him on the face a few times, and then blushed and said that she would be his daughter-in-law in the future.
Call!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xu also came back to his senses, chuckled, picked up the medicine basket on the table, and prepared to go to the back mountain to collect medicine and make black ointment.
For the back mountain, Chen Xu is very familiar, over the years, as the old man Chen has grown, he has also taken over the work of collecting medicines, and he has a lot of experience in the processing and cutting of medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials used to make black ointment are not too unusual, so they were soon collected.
suddenly
The sound of "rustling ......" came out of the grass, which immediately attracted Chen Xu's attention, and he couldn't help but look at the grass where the sound came from, only to see that the grass kept moving there.
This scene also frightened Chen Xu, and after waiting for a while, he cautiously approached the grass that was still moving, and when he got closer to the grass, the grass moved even more, and when Chen Xu was completely close to the grass, the swing of the grass immediately stopped.
Call!
Taking a deep breath and gently pushing away the grass with his hand, Chen Xu was immediately startled, and the whole person was frozen there motionless, only to see a person lying in the grass with tattered clothes and scars and blood stains all over his body.
From the tattered clothes, it can be seen that it is a man, but he is lying on the ground with his face to the ground and his back to the sky, and Chen Xu can't see how this man looks. After composing down, he pushed the man on the ground with his foot, but the man didn't react at all.
Could it be that he is dead?
Chen Xu pushed hard and turned the person lying on the ground over, only to see that this person was unkempt and his eyes were closed, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but Chen Xu knew that he was not from this village. Slowly bent down, his right hand rested on the major artery in the man's neck.
"It's good that he didn't die, but who is it? Could it be a tourist?" Chen Xu couldn't figure out how this person could appear in the back mountain, and there were so many scars on his body, most of which looked like they were scratched by thorns in the grass. Some of the wounds have begun to inflame, and a thick white juice is coming out, which is very wicked.
Chen Xu checked the pulse of this person again, and found that this person had not eaten anything for at least four days, and there were several snake venoms in his body, and there were several snake bites on his legs, and it seemed that he was bitten by a poisonous snake when he was jumping over the mountains and forests.
Chen Xu really didn't understand, there were so many scars on his body, although they were not fatal injuries, but the wounds had already begun to become inflamed, and there were several snake venoms in his body, and he could still live until now, which really made him feel strange.
Taking out the silver needle tied to his wrist and carrying with him, Chen Xu carefully lifted the person's tattered clothes, revealing his chest full of wounds, some of which were still overflowing with blood.
I saw that Chen Xu was flying like a fly, and in just a dozen seconds, Chen Xu pierced nine silver needles on this person's chest. These nine silver needles are used to protect the person's heart and slow down the speed of blood circulation, so that snake venom is not easy to invade the heart and veins, and can also play a role in stopping bleeding.
After doing all this, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, holding the medicine basket in one hand and carrying the stranger on his back with the other, ready to take it home for treatment.
Chen Xu always remembered that since the first day he studied medicine with his grandfather, his grandfather told him very seriously: "Doctors, you can't see death without saving, let alone forget your righteousness!"
When he returned home, Old Man Chen had not come back yet, so Chen Xu directly put the person he had brought back on the hospital bed and carefully checked his condition again.
At this moment, although Chen Xu didn't know what the identity of this person was, he had already guessed that it would not be a tourist, because there were no tourist attractions in the back mountain at all, so naturally there would be no tourists to play.
But no matter what, this happened to him, and he is a doctor, he naturally won't do this thing that can't be saved, otherwise if he let his grandfather know, he won't scold him half to death.
After removing all the clothes and pants of the injured person, Chen Xu began to wipe his body with warm water, only to see that this person was dignified and had good facial features, but his face was a little pale.
Immediately, the treatment began, and I saw Chen Xu's hands slapping the person's back vigorously, and his hands changed into several strange hand shapes and pressed heavily on the various acupoints behind the person. Finally, the palm of the right hand slowly slides down the man's right arm.
The silver needle suddenly cut a hole in this person's right hand, and a stream of black blood flowed out of this hole with some fishy and ugly smell, flowing into the basin that Chen Xu had prepared earlier, but there was still some black blood spilled on the sheets of the hospital bed.
Seeing that the black blood flowing from this person's wrist slowly turned bright red, Chen Xu knew that the snake venom on this person's body had already let him go, so he was relieved to stop the bleeding for this person.
After everything was cleaned up, Chen Xu also picked up this person's clothes, wanting to see if there would be some documents or anything like that, but unfortunately he rummaged through all his pockets, but there was nothing.
