The little old man was looking for someone to write a tombstone for Niu Dawa, and he was digging a grave, and Niu Dawa's body was really stiff and cold, so that Zhang Xiaopaw thought that Niu Dawa was dead, so he almost dug a pit and buried it. At this time, when I heard the little girl say that Niu Dawa was still alive, she was so excited that she almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly wiped her nose and tears to investigate Niu Dawa's injuries.

As soon as Niu Dawa's shirt was unbuttoned, Zhang Xiaopaw's hair exploded, and he saw that Niu Dawa's chest was full of wounds, which were being bandaged indiscriminately with some rags, and the cloth strips had already been soaked in blood.

Bloody water was seeping through the cracks in the rags, emitting a foul stench.

Poof-

Zhang Xiaopaw was furious, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

The festering and rotting wounds pierced his heart like a knife, and the pain made his whole heart clenched. He didn't dare to think about what kind of suffering and torture Niu Dawa had been going through these days.

"Young man, you-don't matter, right?" the little old man asked with concern when he saw Zhang Xiaopaw vomiting blood.

"I'm fine. ”

"I can't be fine!"

Zhang Xiaopaw waved his hand in response, although he was angry in his heart, but his brain was sober, he knew that he couldn't do anything, if he had something, who would save Niu Dawa.

However, he had the heart to save Niu Dawa, but he was helpless to take Niu Dawa's evil injuries for a while. He had never studied medical science, and only knew how to bandage it simply, but this was obviously not enough to solve the problem at hand.

"Hey, let me take a look. The goatee man on the side suddenly sighed and said, stepped forward and squatted down next to Niu Dawa, and poked out two fingers to give Niu Dawa a pulse.

The little old man was overjoyed when he saw this, and asked happily, "Great, is the gentleman a doctor?"

"I didn't dare to be the word 'sir', I only learned a little bit of it. The goatee man said.

Zhang Xiaopaw said eagerly: "I beg Mr. to save my brother's life, and I will agree to any conditions." ”

"Hey—" The goatee man shook his head and sighed, withdrew his fingers, and smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't want to save him, but he's so badly injured that he only has one breath left at the moment, and maybe—maybe—hey—you might as well continue—what." ”

The goatee man pointed to the half-dug grave, and the implication was that Niu Dawa was not saved, so he should continue to handle the aftermath for him.

"Sir, isn't there a way?" asked Zhang Xiaopaw in a hoarse voice.

The goatee man frowned and said, "It's not impossible. ”

"Sir, save my brother, from now on Zhang Xiaopu's life is yours. Zhang Xiaopai slammed his head on the ground and bowed to the goatee man.

"Get up and listen to what I have to say. "He is very badly wounded, and if I am right, he has experienced at least six or seven battles of life and death, internal and external, and wounded and wounded, but he has never been properly treated, so that his vitality is seriously damaged, and it continues to deteriorate." Coupled with the long-term hunger and thirst, the body is not nourished by nutrients, and even the most basic water is not replenished, and the already crumbling and dilapidated body will naturally collapse. ”

Zhang Xiaopaw slapped himself twice and scolded: "I should die!

Thinking that Niu Dawa was seriously injured and starving, and even drinking a sip of water was a luxury, but he was enjoying it on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and he was tired of eating too much, he felt extremely guilty and uncomfortable, and even wanted to stab himself twice.

"You can't save him even if you slap your face. The goatee man glared at him angrily and said, "Although he only has one breath left, he still has a glimmer of life." Just scared—afraid—"

"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Xiaopu asked anxiously.

"I'm just afraid we won't be able to save him. The goatee man said, "Let's not talk about anything else for the time being, let's talk about the simplest water first." His wounds have festered and pus, and he urgently needs a lot of water to clean them to prevent the rotten poison from invading his internal organs, but where can we get a lot of water?"

"I know—" Zhang Xiaopaw opened his mouth to say that he knew where there was water, but thinking of the long length of the cave, it would take several days, or even more than ten days, Niu Dawa would definitely not last so long, so he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth, and asked, "What about the water?"

"Let's put it this way. The goatee man snapped his fingers and said, "Water, food, at least a hundred-year-old ginseng, external injury medicine, internal injury medicine, plus a solid Pei Yuan Dan."

Water and hundred-year-old ginseng must be obtained immediately, so that he can be hung in one breath. If you have these two things, you can buy you half a day to figure out how to do something else.

But how easy is it to get these things?

Not to mention anything else, just say that a solid Peiyuan Dan, when there is no famine, you will get two hundred taels of silver a grain, now that the earth is exhausted, everything is withering, and the medicinal resources must be in short supply, and the price may have to triple or even more.

Hehe, we can't even drink saliva, where are we going to get six hundred taels of silver?"

"W-how's this good?" the little old man sat down on the ground with his butt in trouble, and his features were all squeezed together.

"Grandpa, sell me. I'll have money if I sell it. You can save your benefactor. The little girl suddenly tugged at the corner of the little old man's clothes and said, she gritted her teeth, and there was bravery and determination in her eyes that did not match her age.

"My silly granddaughter. The little old man took the little girl into his arms and said with tears in his eyes: "Do you know what they are buying children for? They are buying them and eating them! Grandpa can't sell you to others as rations even if he dies!"

The little girl's face turned pale, frightened by the little old man's words, but she clenched her fists and said, "I—I'm not afraid! ”

"Little girl, you are so thin that you only have bones left, and you don't see two taels of meat all over your body, fools who buy meat know how to pick fat to buy, who will buy you. The goatee man looked at the little girl and said, his words sounded ugly, but they were actually kind, and could make the little girl dispel the stupid idea of selling herself.

Zhang Xiaopaw picked up the bone knife and swiped it lightly on his left wrist, and suddenly there was red blood flowing out, and he broke open Niu Dawa's mouth and let the blood flow into Niu Dawa's mouth.

He couldn't get water right away, he only thought of this stupid solution.

"You-"

"Hey—"

When the goatee man saw it, he opened his mouth to dissuade him, but in the end he just sighed helplessly. In his opinion, Niu Dawa is obviously not saved, and although Zhang Xiaopaw is stupid to do this, he can at least find a trace of comfort, and his heart will be a little more comfortable.

However, I heard Zhang Xiaopaw ask: "Sir, I have taken a lot of heavenly treasures not long ago, I wonder if my blood is useless in treating his injuries?"

The goatee man didn't speak, thinking that Zhang Xiaopaw was in a hurry to go to the doctor, shook his head in his heart and smiled bitterly and said: A high-level heaven and earth treasure, its medicinal effect can indeed be used to save people with blood in a short period of time, but those are all priceless super treasures, which can you get involved with a poor boy.

The goatee man's silence gave Zhang Xiaopaw an answer, but he didn't give up, even if it was just blood instead of water, he had to give Niu Dawa to drink.

Zhang Xiaopaw's body has a strong self-healing ability, and the blood only flowed for a short time, and the wound gradually coagulated. But he slapped the wound violently, and the wound exploded and blood flowed.

The goatee man saw that Zhang Xiaopaw was dripping blood, his eyes didn't blink, and he didn't even like the wound to bleed out, and he slapped the wound to make the blood flow faster, and he couldn't help but be frightened, and his heart said that he was really a ruthless character.

He rubbed his hands awkwardly, hesitating whether to mention the meat, in case he angered this ruthless boy, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around. But if he pretended to forget and didn't mention it, he was unwilling in his heart.

"Hey—"

"Oops, hey—"

The little old man suddenly pointed at Niu Dawa and shouted excitedly.

The goatee man was doing a fierce struggle, and was startled by the little old man's cold cry, and his eyes glared at him and said, "I said little old man, what are you yelling about?"

"Sir. Mr. The little old man was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he pointed his finger at Niu Dawa and shouted, "I—I seem to have seen my benefactor's fingers move." Gently then that. ”

The little old man stretched out his fingers and moved slightly, making a demonstration.

"How could it be. The goatee man didn't believe it at all.

He personally diagnosed Niu Dawa's pulse, and he didn't die in one breath, his whole body began to stiffen and become cold, and he was about to lose his breath, how could his fingers still move, so he didn't believe the little old man's words at all, and squinted at the little old man from the corner of his eyes and said, "It must be that your old eyes are dizzy and wrong." ”

"Yes, yes?" the little old man scratched the back of his head, wondering if he had read it wrong, but immediately his shriveled and sunken eyes widened, and he pointed at Niu Dawa and shouted, "Sir, look, look, he—his throat is moving, really moving!"

There was no need for the little old man to remind him, the goatee man himself saw it, his eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, and he hurriedly stretched out his finger to Niu Dawa's pulse.

"This—this—"

After a moment, the goatee man was dumbfounded, and he found that Niu Dawa's pulse had increased several times compared to before, and it was steadily increasing at an alarming rate. He even clearly felt that Niu Dawa's almost dilapidated and depleted body began to regain its vitality.

"Incredible!"

"It's incredible!"

The goatee man was amazed again and again, his eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Xiaopu, staring at the red blood flowing from Zhang Xiaopaw's wrist burningly, he knew that it was Zhang Xiaopaw's blood that was working, and couldn't help but tremble excitedly and asked: "You-what kind of heavenly and earthly treasure have you eaten, and it has such a miraculous effect?!"

"How, does it work?" Zhang Xiaopaw was overjoyed.

"It works, it works, it just works. It is comparable to 500 years of old mountain ginseng. The goatee man nodded vigorously.

Whoop.

Perhaps it was the double urging of hunger, thirst and desire to survive, Niu Dawa's mouth actually wrapped Zhang Xiaopaw's wound, and then sucked. Such as a newborn baby sucking milk and water.

"Drink, drink more!" Zhang Xiaopaw looked eagerly, and couldn't help urging, eager for Niu Dawa to drink.

"No, you can't do that. The goatee man hurriedly spoke out to dissuade Zhang Xiaopai, saying, "He is eating unconsciously now, and he won't stop unless he is full." But with your thin physique, there is not enough blood in your body to support him to drink enough. That is to say, he will suck your blood dry in an unconscious state, and you will die of blood. ”

The goatee man was right, only for a short time, Zhang Xiaopaw's lips were already pale and his face was bloodless. With Niu Dawa's appetite, he can indeed suck his blood dry.

However, Zhang Xiaopaw did not mean to stop at all, and said in a resolute tone: "As long as I can save my brother, what if I will die of blood loss?"

"But—but you're not blood brothers, one of you is surnamed Zhang, the other is surnamed Niu, and at most you are cousins. And I see that the faces of the two of you are not similar at all, I'm afraid you are not even cousins, right?" said the goatee man, who could not understand Zhang Xiaopaw's persistence. In such a troubled world, everyone is trying to live secretly, and brothers can't take care of each other, let alone brothers who are not related by blood.

When Zhang Xiaopu heard this, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, a warm smile appeared on his face, and said: "Although he and I are not blood brothers, the brotherly relationship between us is far better than that of blood brothers. I can die for him, and he can die for me. ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that only you think so, as for what he thinks in his heart, how do you know?" the goatee man pursed the corners of his lips slightly.

As if in response to the goatee man's question, Niu Dawa's mouth suddenly loosened, and then her lips and teeth were tightly closed.
