Chapter 1004: Lonely Island
Zhuo Ran sprinkled the medicinal powder on the straw mat, and let Old Man Qian strip naked and roll on it. During the treatment, because he was stripped naked, it was not suitable to go to the yard to embarrass people, and the old man still had to be cheeky, so he was allowed to stay in the house, and the others retreated outside. Wait until the mouth is no longer draining pus, and you can get dressed, and then lie outside.
After Zhuo Ran settled down, he said to the Qian Gang Master: "I'll prescribe a prescription for you, and you can also lie on the bed to recuperate, don't be angry." I'll talk about anything until my body is healed. ”
The Qian gang owner expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and Liu Wu hurriedly ran to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and personally raised his sleeves repeatedly to study ink for Zhuo Ran. Zhuo Ran wrote a prescription for the treatment of lung and heart contusions.
From the point of view of coughing up blood, his lungs must have been injured, and Zhuo Ran was worried about whether there was a tear in his heart. If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it, because I don't have the corresponding surgical instruments in my hands. However, along the way, so far no symptoms of acute hemorrhagic shock caused by heart rupture have been found, which shows that the amount of bleeding is not too much, which makes Zhuo Ran a little relieved.
Write the prescription and hand it to Liu Wu, and tell her to send someone to observe the helper's movements at all times, if the helper has a coma, confused speech, severe chest pain and other abnormal conditions, immediately send someone to find her, she is at Gu's sister-in-law's house.
Zhuo Ran left the courtyard of the beggars and returned to Gu's sister-in-law's house. Sister-in-law Gu went out fishing, but left the key for Zhuo Ran, who opened the door and went in by herself, leaning on the bed to rest. Thinking about the strange scene that appeared in the field in the morning, I couldn't figure it out, so I took a book and sat down in front of the window to read it.
At noon, Mr. Qian brought a few delicate dishes and a jar of wine to accompany him, and said with a smile that this was arranged by the old man, and the old man said that the medicine had begun to work. Qian Gongzi seemed to be afraid that Zhuo Ran would worry about what was going on in the dishes, so he insisted on accompanying Zhuo Ran to eat, he ate every dish in a big gulp, and drank the wine himself. Zhuo Ran smiled, it seems that the Qian family is still very good at speculating on other people's thoughts.
In the evening, Zhuo Ran went to see Qian Shanren's condition and found that some sores had begun to close. Qian Shanren lay on the straw mat with great joy and said to Zhuo Ran: "Your medicine really works, I feel less than half of the pain." I used to feel the pain and almost hit my head against the wall, but now the pain is basically tolerable, thank you so much. ”
He lowered his voice and said to Zhuo Ran: "Brother Zhuo, there are no outsiders now, can you sell me this prescription, you can tell me a price." I fear that if I do it again in the future, and I can't find my brother, then I may die from this poisonous wound. ”
Zhuo Ran said: "Lang Zhong will not sell prescriptions, as for whether you can find me to treat you next time you get sick, it depends on fate." ”
Zhuo Ran is not too interested in this so-called good person, to be honest, so he doesn't want to have a deep friendship with him. The main reason why he came forward to treat him was that he was moved by Liu Wu's desperate behavior to save his father and wanted to help her. Of course, what Liu Wu said later was a little hurtful. Although it was reasonable, Zhuo Ran was still a little embarrassed, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her. Anyway, I was just moved by her behavior, and I didn't have much interest in this woman herself.
After seeing the disease, Zhuoran left the house, and went to another room to show the Qian Gang Master his injuries, and after checking his pulse and tongue, it was determined that his illness was still relatively stable. Damage to the heart is largely ruled out, and it appears that only the lungs are damaged. Treatment is relatively small, but it takes some time.
Zhuo Ran instructed to continue to take the medicine according to the prescription, and then said goodbye and left.
He returned to Sister-in-law Gu's house, Sister-in-law Gu had already prepared the meal, and all the sumptuous dishes brought by the Qian family at noon were thrown away by her. She wants to make it herself, although it is not as delicious as the chef of the Qian family, but it is full of warmth.
Zhuo Ran ate very deliciously, and seeing Zhuo Ran's gluttony, Sister-in-law Gu enjoyed it very much. said: "Today, you went to take care of that matter, I was scared at first, I thought you were afraid to fight with them this time." It may even hurt, how can I take care of you if you're really hurt?"
Zhuo Ran deliberately knocked the chopsticks on the bowl, and said to Sister-in-law Gu very dissatisfied: "You are really a person, can you hope that I will be good." Still looking forward to me being injured and you taking care of me, really. ”
Sister-in-law Gu smiled and was about to speak, when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming over, and when they arrived at the door, there was a knock on the door. Someone said in a loud voice: "Sister-in-law Gu, open the door quickly, there is something urgent." ”
When Sister-in-law Gu heard this, she replied, "Is it the triangular-eyed brother?"
"It's me, open the door quickly, there's something urgent, it's not good. ”
Sister-in-law Gu hurriedly got up and trotted over to open the door, and there were two people standing outside the door, one with triangular eyes, and the other with a thin man.
Sister-in-law Gu said, "Why are you two here, what's going on?"
Saying this, she seemed to be worried that Zhuo Ran would not be able to remember who they were, especially the thin man, who had never seen them, so she turned her head to him and said, "The two of them are also ferrymen, plus the big gold tooth, just the four of us can ferry, and know the way to the outside world." ”
Triangle Eye already knew Zhuo Ran's reputation in the Disaster Avoidance Village at this moment, and he used to look at Sister-in-law Gu's eyes with squints, but now when he saw Sister-in-law Gu again, he subconsciously turned his gaze away, not daring to look at her, as if he was worried that Zhuo Ran next to him had any thoughts. At the same time, there was panic in his eyes at the moment. said: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Langzhong, it's not good, the tunnel we entered and exited the village collapsed. ”
Zhuo Ran and Sister-in-law Gu both gasped and said urgently, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know when it collapsed, today I went to the signal of the boat outside, let us go out to pick up people, I held the boat out, but as soon as I entered the tunnel, I found that a large stone fell, blocking the tunnel so tightly that I couldn't pass at all. ”
"I wanted to go through another alternate tunnel, which was narrow and dangerous. But I was able to rush out, but I found that the tunnel was also blocked by the falling boulders, and several other tunnels that could not be exited at all also had boulders collapsed and blocked. It seems that it was not blocked by the falling rocks from the passage, but by the falling rocks that the entire underground cavern was blocked. ”
Zhuo Ran immediately understood that this may have been caused by the earthquake that caused the collapse of the first finger peak of Beishan. Of course, it may have been caused by this before, but it is not clear now.
One thing was clear, though, because as far as he knew, that passage was the only way from the village to the outside world, and once it was blocked, it would be completely isolated from the outside world. The village is surrounded by mountains, and there is a wide miasma of smoke along the mountainside outside the mountains. The smoke miasma can poison people in large areas, but fortunately, it is only fixed in the middle of the mountain, and it does not come over the mountain, nor is it blown away by the mountain wind. It has become a natural haven for the village to avoid the invasion of foreign enemies. As long as they guard the underground passage, no one will be able to enter, but if they can't get out now, the barrier of poisonous smoke and miasma will become a cage that locks them.
Zhuo Ran said: "Let's go and see, this is our life channel, if it is blocked, can we find a way to open it?"
Another boatman, nicknamed Fishing Rod, is very good at fishing because of his delicate body. He said, "The Great Golden Tooth has gone to the blacksmith in the town, but I have heard the stonemasons say that the rock is very hard, not worse than steel, and it is difficult to chisel through it." ”
Zhuo Ran said: "Let's go and have a look, and find out on the spot." ”
Sister-in-law Gu agreed and told her son to stay at home. took Zhuo Ran to the pier, and the fishing boats of the triangular eye and the fishing rod also stopped here, got on the boat respectively, and went to the exit.
When we arrived at the underwater passage, there were already several fishing boats surrounding it, and the fishermen who had all been informed had come to see the situation. The people on the fishing boats were very anxious, because a considerable part of the daily necessities of these people in the village were brought in from outside, and there was no production inside, such as cloth, some grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Although there are rice paddies at the head of the village, these paddy fields are not enough to feed thousands of people in the village. The people who fled here were basically not businessmen, and they couldn't produce oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, so they all had to be transported in from outside.
Zhuo Ran asked Sister-in-law Gu to prop up the boat to the edge of the passage, and only went in for a month or two before reaching the collapse. The fishermen outside who came to see the situation were holding lanterns and torches, and when the light came in, they could see the situation in the waterway. I saw a huge stone blocking the entire tunnel. Zhuo Ran patted the rock with his hand, and his hand was cold.
He silently slammed his palm at it, which was enough to break the stone, but it was only a small piece the size of a fingernail.
Zhuo Ran gasped, this stone is definitely not worse than steel, his palm basically did not cause any damage, and it is completely impossible for the stone axe to chisel it. Zhuo Ran checked several other passages, and the same was true. Zhuo Ran's heart sank to the bottom, and he turned around and asked the fishing rod and triangular eyes that followed behind, "Have you dived to see the passage from underwater?"
"We immediately dived to check on the collapse when we found it, and we thought the same thing, thinking that we had only dropped a rock and could go around it from below," said the fishing rod. But it was found that the rock was very large, blocking the entire mountain road, and there was no gap underneath to penetrate at all. We immediately contacted the outside, and the inn in charge of the reception immediately sent a boat to check on us, and reported that the huge stone falling from the passage outside had sealed the entire passage, and it was impossible to enter at all. ”
Zhuo Ran asked, "How do you communicate with the outside world?"
Sister-in-law Gu said: "With flying pigeons, there is a special flying pigeon in the town. The surname is Gao, and they all call him Feigegao. He kept pigeons to deliver letters for others, and after he fled to the village of refuge from disaster, we used his flying pigeons to communicate with the inn that was responsible for answering the outside in order to facilitate internal and external communication. It's fast, and if someone from outside wants to come in, we'll pick up the boat to meet it. It was through the flying pigeons that I got in touch with them. ”
Zhuo Ran asked, "What about the upstream, can you get out?"
Sister-in-law Gu and the others all shook their heads together: "The upstream is an underground river that emerges from the ground, and the pool of water that emerges from the bottom of the mountain. There are no channels. The underground river is like a labyrinth, and there are people with high water who have dived in, but they did not come out, and the corpses floated out after a few days. ”
