31.chapter 31

Sun Xiuqing instructed Ah Ying to boil hot water, asked Qiqi to find some herbs, and went back to the house she shared with Ma Yi to get her mobile phone and prepare to connect with Dr. Zhao.

Before pushing open the door, Sun Xiuqing paused and took a deep breath. The love that has been deliberately ignored for a whole day is suddenly so strong that it is uncontrollable. Slightly trembling hands shook each other, and she told herself: It's okay, believe her, believe Mayi.

She pushed the door open, and Ma Yi only looked up at her, smiled and waved her hand, and immediately put her attention back to the phone screen. She has gone crazy watching the drama today, oh my God, she is so envious of Sun Xiuqing, the men in her hometown are too good-looking! The women are also so beautiful!

Sun Xiuqing turned her back and quietly breathed a sigh of relief at an angle that Ma Yi couldn't see. At this moment, no one knows the ups and downs that have happened in Sun Xiuqing's heart. Yes, she handed over the only survival tool to Ma Yi for a whole day, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, and she realized what it meant the moment she handed it over. But she forcibly did not come back immediately, but pretended that nothing had happened, and went out for a whole day.

She took a huge adventure, but Mayi's sincerity allowed her to get through this level without any danger. She couldn't help but hug Ma Yi, embarrassed by the distrust she had held tightly all day, and Ma Yi looked at her strangely: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Sun Xiuqing shook her head and said, "It's okay." But Kiki's dad is seriously injured, and we have to save him, so let's go now. ”

"Kiki's dad?"

"It's the man who was attacked by the flying beasts yesterday, he was seriously injured, and he wondered why he didn't seem to have been treated, so he lay there waiting to die."

Ma Yi was not surprised by this, and said: "This person Lie behaves like this, and he probably thinks that he is too injured, so he does not arrange for treatment." After all, the flying beasts came to harass them twice in three days, and there were a lot of injured people in the city, and there was not enough medicine, so it was natural to give priority to providing treatment for those who were slightly injured. ”

Sun Xiuqing Khan: "Shouldn't the seriously ill be rescued first, and the lightly injured can be treated until there is medicine?" ”

Ma Yi looked at her strangely: "If you delay a minor injury, it will become a serious injury, and no one will be able to survive if you continue like this." ”

Think about it, after all, this is a primitive society, the medical and health conditions are not very good, and some injuries will indeed be life-threatening if not treated in time. Maybe from the cost consideration, Lie's choice is right, but she can't let Sun Xiuqing die without help.

Ma Yi laughed at her: "It's not that you won't save him, I see that you are about to cry." Let's go, I've got some medicine with me, but I'll take it with me if I bought something good from someone else, so let's take it with him. ”

The two returned to the cottage of the Kiki family, but the little boy had not returned, and Ma Yi said, "It is probably difficult for him to find any herbs, after all, everyone is lacking." ”

Sun Xiuqing had already contacted Dr. Zhao on the way, but fortunately he was free today. turned on the video call, and Sun Xiuqing filmed Ah Qiang's situation to him. There were many black things on Ah Qiang's wounds, and Sun Xiuqing frowned and asked Ah Ying, "What are these?" ”

A-Ying said: "When I see people bleeding, they can stop the bleeding by burning it with hay and plastering it, so I smeared some on him. ”

Sun Xiuqing instinctively disagreed, how could this work? How unhygienic! Dr. Zhao listened to her translation but praised: "She did the right thing, the plant ash is alkaline, has a bactericidal effect, and is a good way to stop bleeding when there are no better conditions." ”

Sun Xiuqing was convinced, it seems that she underestimated the wisdom of primitive people.

Dr. Zhao took a closer look at his wounds and said, "You can leave most of the injuries alone, and when the wounds scab over, they will grow on their own, but the larger ones may have scars." The wounds on the shoulder and waist are too big, the muscles are turned out, and it will be very slow to recover without suturing, so you can clean up the ashes and suture them, just like last time, you can. ”

Sun Xiuqing nodded, ended the call first, and relayed the doctor's words to Ah Ying Ah Qiang. The two of them were stunned by the portrait and voice coming from the phone, nodded stunned, and let it be disposed of.

Sun Xiuqing and Ma Yi washed their hands, and first gently wiped off the grass and wood ashes covered with the two wounds with a hot water scalded linen, this thing had a good hemostatic effect, even if it was wiped off, only a little blood seeped out. The bone needle has been by Sun Xiuqing's side since the last successful operation, and it was used again today.

After about an hour of stitching, Cuong's surgery was successful. With the previous experience, coupled with the secret medicine of a certain clan given by Ma Yi, Ah Qiang recovered in less than ten days, which is a later story.

After the surgery, Cuong fell into a coma. Sun Xiuqing took a photo of the stitched wound and sent it to Dr. Zhao, which was praised. Ah Ying took out some wild fruits to entertain them, and thanked them a thousand times. After Sun Xiuqing washed his hands, he looked at his blacksmith shop curiously, and always felt that there were more tools here than elsewhere, and couldn't help but ask A-Ying: "What do you do in your shop?" ”

Ah Ying couldn't help but feel a little proud on his face, and said: "Our Ah Qiang's technology is one of the best in the Smelting and Casting City, and I won't tell you that half of the iron cables that Ma Yi needs are made by our family." ”

Wow, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. It turns out that Ah Qiang is one of the best blacksmith masters, I wonder if his promise to follow the two of them to make cattle and horses counts? Sun Xiuqing and Ma Yi glanced at each other, revealing a smile that you know and I know.

The next day, Lie sent someone to invite him. In the end, I am very concerned about the problem of city defense, and after waiting for two days, I can't help but be curious, and I want to ask clearly.

Sun Xiuqing decided not to hide it, and showed the video to Lie that she showed to Ma Yi. Of course, Lie would be curious about things like mobile phones, but he was very arrogant and felt that this was just some kind of magic weapon or something, although the workmanship was exquisite, but it could not be eaten or played, and his attention was quickly attracted by the content displayed in it.

The focus of men and women is really different, Lie is not interested in the sensational dialogue in the plot at all, all the points are on those arrows in the sky, when he sees the arrows pierced into the soldiers, horses, and the huge lethality they cause, the whole expression changes.

"What is this?"

Sun Xiuqing very kindly paused a certain scene. From that picture, you can see the appearance of the arrow in its entirety, the sharp iron arrow, the straight thin arrow body and the feather arrow tail designed for acceleration, it looks like a very miniature and delicate long arrow, how can it have such lethality?

Sun Xiuqing found another shot with a bowed body. The soldier held a half-human-high bow, set up an arrow, drew a bow, and the arrow from the string made a "bang" sound of breaking through the air, and the momentum came from it.

"This is a bow and arrow, set up an archery team of dozens to hundreds of people, whenever the flying beasts attack, as long as you shoot at them, you may not be able to kill them, but it is more than enough to cause deterrence, what do you think?"

Lie's eyes lit up, and he agreed with him without asking.

"How many of these things do you have, called bows and arrows? I'm going to do it all. ”

Sun Xiuqing and Ma Yi glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Actually, even if I have a hundred sets of bows and arrows now, I will sell them to you." You and your residents won't use it, and it's useless, right? ”

Lie recalled the scene he had just seen, yes, that thin stick was just on a rope, how could it burst out with such a powerful force as soon as it was released? glanced at Sun Xiuqing, and then at Ma Yi, who didn't seem to be able to speak better than before, sighed, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Sun Xiuqing said: "There is a saying in our hometown: it is better to give a fish than to give it a fish. It means that if you give someone a hundred fish, it is better to teach him how to catch fish. We want to teach you how to make zuΓ² and how to use this bow and arrow. ”

As a profiteer, Lie naturally knows what is the most valuable deal. But when people gave him the best, he didn't believe it, and looked at them suspiciously: "Is there such a good thing? ”

Sun Xiuqing smiled slightly, and continued: "Of course we have conditions, we want thirty blacksmiths to go back to Guanlong City with us. ”

Lie instinctively sensed that something was wrong: "What do you want the blacksmith to do?" ”

Sun Xiuqing pretended to be naΓ―ve and replied: "You smelt and forge the city to make iron, how many good things have you exchanged from our Guanlong City over the years. This bow and arrow will be exchanged directly with you, and it will not be exchanged for many chains, so it is better to hand over the blacksmith master to us and go to Guanlong City to smelt iron directly for us. ”

Lie laughed: "You don't think that as long as you bring a few blacksmiths back, you can make iron by yourself, right?" ”

Iron-making technology is the lifeblood of the city, and Lie, like his ancestors, keeps its core secrets a secret. What the blacksmiths know is just the last link, there is too much work to prepare in front of them, and in each link, he puts different people in charge, the key details are never revealed lightly, nor do they fake others, these two little girls want to go to a few blacksmiths, they want to cross the smelting city to get the iron, it's so naΓ―ve!

However, since he is a profiteer, he will not say this kind of thing explicitly, but only pretends to be sincere and admonishes: "You think too simply, why don't you order other good things?" Last time, the white-haired clan in Reef City sent a batch of freshly dried sea salt, so why don't you exchange it for you? ”

Reef City's freshly dried sea salt? Most of the packets of salt given by the descendants were made by the people of this city. Wow, that's good news with salt!

Seeing that Sun Xiuqing's eyes lit up, Lie continued to advise, but he thought in his heart that these two people may not be so interested in blacksmiths, they are young in the end, and they are too whimsical to think about things. But the two little girls hesitated for a while, and after exchanging ears, they still said firmly: "We want thirty blacksmiths, and we can't do any less." ”

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement and made a deal.

"I agree with you to take thirty people, but whoever wants to go with you, you have to find and persuade yourself, and I will not get involved, lest you say that I am a hindrance."

Lie said this, and after saying goodbye to the two, after thinking about it, he still sent someone to run a few blacksmith shops and greeted the owner of the shop. The residents of the Smelting and Casting City were still in awe of Lie, and they all said to the visitors: "Please tell the patriarch that we will never leave the Smelting and Casting City." ”

Lie was very satisfied with this deal, and picked more than a dozen candidates in his heart, and asked people to notify them one by one, everything was ready, just waiting for Sun Xiuqing to arrange something, oh, arrange training.

Archers, build them!
