Chapter Forty-Nine: The Dervishes of the Ominous Land
Who did you see in the summer, yes, it was the little boy he saved in the restaurant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At this moment, the little boy was carefully holding the food in his hand, glancing at the road under his feet from time to time, so as not to trip over the raised stones on the road.
"Hey, wait." Summer stopped the other party, and when he met the other party in a row, he felt that this was a kind of fate.
The boy was startled, then turned around and jumped backwards before looking up at the other man.
"Big ...... Uncle, it's you, scare me. The boy exhaled a cloudy breath, if it weren't for the food in his hand, he really wanted to pat his chest and soothe the still alive heart.
Summer looked at each other curiously: "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to the neighborhood of that street, where my home is." The boy pointed to the street that stood in front of him like a slash in front of Summer, and his tone was relaxed, as if it were his back garden.
Summer looked at the boy dumbfounded, I'll go, I can't even go to the place where I can't go, you can actually go in. Do you know it?
"Well, can you take me to your house, you know, I don't know a place here, and I don't have much to go." Summer was joking, so he wouldn't tell the other party that he wanted to use the other party's identity to enter the mysterious street.
The young man hesitated a little: "Uncle, I'm afraid this is a little difficult to do, because that street has been under martial law recently, and I don't know why." However, there should be no problem for you to follow me, but when you get there, don't wander around, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. ”
Summer nodded hurriedly: "I know this, don't worry, it will definitely not make it difficult for you, by the way, what are these foods in your hands?" ”
Summer is a little curious, this kid always steals food, could it be that there is something else hidden in it?
The young man's expression was gloomy and he lowered his head: "These are for my grandfather, but he is afraid ...... It's about to go to heaven. Recently, his health has been getting worse and worse, and I don't know how long he can last. ”
"Then why do you have to go to that store and steal something?" The two said as they walked that Summer was more curious about the story of the teenager, so they asked.
The boy's eyes were full of anger: "It's all to blame on that damn cook, my grandfather was a great ascetic who traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to this city in search of the trails of the gods. But I didn't expect that just going to that restaurant to make a relationship, so I was driven away by that damn fat man, and I pushed him to the bottom. As a result, the old injury of the grandfather recurred, and the health will get worse and worse. ”
Summer nodded clearly, and he said, this young man can't choose a restaurant to steal food for no reason, there must be some story in this.
"Okay, let's hurry up, maybe your grandfather is hungry." Summer skipped the subject, for the boy, who had been blinded by hatred and was now all he thought about was revenge. The more you mention this matter, it will only make the other party fall deeper and deeper.
Soon they came to the cordoned off street, where, after some search and questioning, they were let in, and came to the boy's house.
It is said to be a home, but in fact it is just a shed made of cloth, it is dark inside, nothing can be seen clearly, and the area is very small, it is hard to imagine that this is actually the residence of two people.
"Ahem...... Is Vikas back? Ahem......" A violent cough came from inside the tent. The Indian boy named Vikas hurriedly rushed in.
"Grandpa, are you okay, I brought you something to eat." The young man gently helped an old man with an old man with a serene face to his feet.
Summer followed in, just swept it casually, and was attracted by the old man on the bed. The old man's eyes were attentive, his hair was meticulously combed, and his thin body was full of tendon flesh, but his condition did not look very good, as if he had been seriously injured, and his face was very pale.
"Ahem, Vikas, is this the guest you brought, and you don't invite anyone to sit down." The old man treats his grandson very harshly.
"Yes, Grandpa." Vikas obediently moved a few bricks, built them into a chair, and motioned for Summer to sit down.
Summer scratched her head in embarrassment, ha...... This is really a wayward chair. However, he is not a particular person, so he sat on it directly.
"Hello old man, my name is Xia Xia and I am from China. You can call me Natsu, I don't know what you always call me. Xia asked respectfully, this is the civilization of China, paying attention to respecting the old and loving the young.
The old man's eyes showed a bit of appreciation: "Yes, yes, the young man is young, and he already has a lot of merit, which shows that you are a real good person." The old man, I have a cheap name, don't mention it, you can just call me an old man. ”
In the summer, I felt a thrill in my heart, I went, this uncle was godly, and I saw my depth at a glance. He tried to observe the other party with the eye of the sky, but the feedback he got was that the other party was an ordinary old man.
"Don't be kidding, old man, aren't you a tormented boy. I've heard your grandson mention that you're an ascetic, so I'll call you Master. It's just that I don't know how you can see that I have the power of merit. Summer hurriedly became modest, he didn't dare to take it seriously, for an open nation, any person is worthy of his careful treatment.
The old man laughed, but he didn't want to touch the wound: "Ahem...... Whatever, whatever you want. As for how to see your problems, I can only say that I have traveled a lot, and I have learned some skills to see your problems, which is not a good ability. ”
"Old man, since you are an ascetic, why are you treated like this, who is so cruel to beat you to serious injury?" Summer looked carefully and found that the other party's body was covered with knife wounds, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Ahem, this ...... I made it myself. The old man seemed very calm.
Just, how is this possible. Killing Summer would not believe why an ascetic monk in his seventies and eighties would do such a cruel thing to himself. In India, there are some extremely trained ascetics, who climb icebergs and even let poisonous snakes bite themselves, in order to train their patience, but the vast majority of extreme trainers did not survive and died in those harsh environments.
Summer can clearly see that the knife wounds on the old man's body are all newly added, that is, he is not an ascetic who believes in extreme training.
"Master, why are you?" Summer asked puzzled.
The old man gently touched the wounds that had already festered a little with his arm, and sighed, "Because I am following the trail of the gods, but the results are always unsatisfactory. ”
"In search of the gods? Can you tell me about these things, I'm very curious about these wonderful things. Summer looked like a curious baby and looked at each other.
It's a pity that the old man is old, he is a little short of breath, and coughs fiercely: "Ahem...... Let my grandson tell you this. People are old and useless, and it looks like I need to take a break. ”
Summer suddenly felt a burst of guilt, damn it, just thinking about the news, he forgot about the other party's physical condition, he hurriedly took out a few hundred rupees from his pocket and handed it to Vikas.
"Vikas, go and help your grandpa buy some anti-inflammatory medicine and come back, and buy some gauze and alcohol, I'm going to bandage your grandpa's wounds." Summer hurriedly instructed Vikas to buy medicine, because after all, the other party was a local and familiar with the environment here, and he was not familiar with the place, so even if he took the money, he might not be able to buy things.
Vikas glanced at the old man on the bed with some hesitation, and bit his mouth tightly to prevent tears from falling.
The old man nodded with relief: "Vikas, don't be afraid, listen to this gentleman, go buy medicine, he is a good person who can be trusted." ”
After listening to his grandfather's words, Vikas immediately grabbed the money and ran out of the small tent, as if he had two Scud missiles installed on his legs.
In the process of buying medicine, Vikas also made some preparations in the summer, he boiled some hot water and lifted the tent, on the one hand, to keep the air circulating inside, and on the other hand, to let the sunlight shine in better.
Vikas was a fast runner, and in less than ten minutes, he had bought everything he needed and stood panting, waiting for the summer to treat his grandfather.
It's a pity that I can't recognize the words on the medicine in the summer, so I have to use alcohol to clean the wounds of the old man and bandage them first.
"Master, this process can be painful, please bear with me. If you can't help it, just tell me and I'll be a little lighter. Summer told the other party, no way, these wounds were dense, and they looked like centipedes, writhing back and forth on the old man's body. He was afraid that he would not control it well, hurt the old man, and make the other party hurt and injured.
"Haha...... Ahem, don't worry, I'm also an ascetic, and I can endure this pain. The old man looked like he didn't care, jokes, he was also an ascetic who had traveled all over India with only two feet, how could he care about this pain, not to mention, these wounds were originally caused by himself.
Summer no longer speaks, concentrate on taking care of each other's wounds, although these wounds look terrible, but in fact, the wounds are not too deep, but there are many wounds, and there is no timely treatment, so it causes inflammation, causing the wound to suppurate and swell, which makes them look very terrible.
After all, he didn't learn to bandage in the summer, but he barely used sterile gauze to cover those terrible wounds, and hurriedly brought the boiled water that had just cooled and fed the other party medicine. Of course, the medicine was fed at Vikas's behest, and he didn't have the ability to distinguish the strange words.
The effect of the medicine soon worked, and the old man's eyelids blinked slightly, and he fell asleep. Recently, because of the pain, he hasn't slept soundly for a long time. Now, taking advantage of the strength of the medicine, he can finally get a good night's sleep.
Summer pointed outside the tent and motioned for Vikas to go out, for he was curious as to why an ascetic had appeared in this ominous place.
