32. Patriarch

Since Master Liu was in charge and the group had a place to live, everyone's tense nerves were relaxed.

Lin Xiangyi was not led by Xu Da to see the patient for the first time, but Xu Da also prepared accommodation and food for the group quite considerately, so that everyone had a good meal, and after a good night's sleep, he took Xu Ke's hand to disturb Lin Xiangyi at about ten o'clock the next morning.

After Lin Xiangyi finished the routine inspection of Senior Commander Liu and Lin Chaozong, he raised his head and said to the two people in the room: "Tell me about your grandfather's situation first, I have the most basic judgment." โ€

Xu Da snorted, and told the past things, it turned out that there were two groups of aborigines living in this group of rolling mountains, one was Xu Da's Xujia Village, and the other was the people who lived in the forbidden land, how many people outsiders never knew, and the forbidden land never welcomed outsiders to come in, Xu Da even said that this forbidden land was built earlier than their village, and no one knew how long it would go back to.

What they know is that the people in the forbidden land are very good at making poison, and even the poisonous miasma forest everyone has doubted whether it is man-made, but unfortunately, suspicion is suspicion, no one has ever had this ability to confirm, the only one who came out of the poisonous miasma forest alive is their grandfather, but now they are a little powerless because of the poison in the body.

"Since you know that outsiders are not welcome, what is your grandfather doing on other people's territory?" Lin Xiangyi wanted to say, isn't that looking for death, since he doesn't have that ability, why bother to ask for hardship.

"My grandmother was very ill at that time and needed a special medicine, only the poisonous miasma forest had it." Xu Da didn't say much, but Lin Xiangyi also understood the whole thing.

"Did your grandma save you?" Lin Xiangyi asked.

"My grandma didn't wait for my grandfather, my grandfather went for three days and came back, in fact, as soon as he left, grandma was gone that night." Xu Da is still a little embarrassed when he talks about these old things, what a loving couple his grandfather and grandmother were back then, but now, separated by yin and yang, when he thinks of the way his grandfather touches his grandmother's photo on weekdays, Xu Ke's heart is still heavy.

Lin Xiangyi has now determined that the old man has caused problems in his body because of poisoning, which has a direction for treatment, so he no longer sprinkles salt on other people's wounds. She is now very curious about what kind of people live in this poisonous miasma forest, who can hide in it for hundreds of years without coming out, how bearable is this? The last years of the Ming Dynasty? Is that a flight?

As the saying goes, curiosity kills a cat, although Lin Xiangyi didn't think that she was the cat, but she still took advantage of the time of treatment to learn a lot about the poisonous miasma forest with the old man, especially when she heard that there was a valley full of medicinal herbs through the poisonous miasma forest, her careful liver was even more itchy.

"Girl, I know my body, it's no longer possible, it's all the boys in this village who don't give up, so please come and don't offend you, right?" The old man looked at Lin Xiangyi and was distracted, thinking that his body had run out of oil, so he comforted Lin Xiangyi.

Lin Xiangyi came back to his senses, looked at a room of people staring at him, and said a little embarrassed: "No, old man, you misunderstood, although your poison has been tricky for some years, it is not impossible to clean up the โ–กโ–ก, but you may have to suffer some crimes, and you also need some more precious medicinal materials." โ€

"Whatever you want, we have it in the village." A young man in the crowd spoke up, "As long as you cure our patriarch." We will also give you the remuneration according to the outside price. โ€

"Oh? Have you ever inquired about my consultation fee? That's not something you kid can afford. Although Lin Xiangyi knows that these people care about the old man, she just doesn't like this broken problem that people like to use money to smash people at every turn, does she seem to be short of money?

After all, Xu Da is already twenty-five years old, and he has been traveling outside for several years, and his mind is more transparent than others, so as soon as he heard Lin Xiangyi's words, he knew that Lin Xiangyi was actually teasing the young man who spoke.

"Sister, is your consultation fee expensive? But the doctors in our village don't need money. As soon as Xu Ke's voice sounded, Lin Xiangyi smiled, waved Xu Ke in front of him, pinched his face and said, "Outside is different from the village, if you have the opportunity, you will know if you go out and have a look, outside, you can ask for money for everything." As for my sister, I have always only charged gold bars for consultations. โ€

Lin Xiangyi slandered in her heart, although she only received the consultation fees from Yang Li and Qingyunzhai, and the rest were voluntary labor, but she did only collect gold bars for the consultation fee.

The people in the village usually rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, who lacks something, they still retain the most primitive habit of bartering, unless it is something that the village really can't exchange, they will go out of the village to go out to procure, so for money or something, there is really no concept, but no concept, it does not mean that they are short of money, no, Xiao Xu does not know that he pulled out a gold ingot from the house.

"Sister, I have gold, do you see enough?" Xu Ke stuffed the gold ingot into Lin Xiangyi's hand and said, "My brother said, this can buy a lot of food outside, I originally hid it and was going to go out of the village to buy food when I grew up, but since you can save grandpa, I will give it to you." โ€

Lin Xiangyi was a little surprised, the weight of this gold ingot was really not light, at least heavier than a small yellow croaker in her soul ring. There is really money in this village, I sighed in my heart, smiled and returned the gold ingot to Xu Kedao: "Enough is enough, but the consultation fee is still paid by adults, what about you, keep it for yourself to buy food." โ€

"Okay, don't mess around with you here, I want these medicinal materials, whoever of you understands can get them for me, the longer the vintage, the better." Lin Xiangyi stood up and walked to the desk, directly took out the brush in the pen holder, and began to brush and write down the things he needed.

Xu Da looked at Lin Xiangyi's very familiar writing with a brush, and was a little surprised at first, after all, there are really fewer and fewer people in the outside world who use a brush now, but after thinking about it again, he feels that there is nothing strange, and it is not surprising that he can write calligraphy. Lin Xiangyi didn't know that Xu Da would accidentally write with a brush by herself, no way, she used things all her life, and it was strange that she couldn't write.

"Your handwriting is beautiful." After getting the medicine list, the appreciation that flashed in Xu Da's eyes really pleased Lin Xiangyi greatly.

"That's a must." Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "These things are ready, if you don't have them, you have to try to find a way to get them, your grandfather is old after all, and his body and bones will not be as good as that of young people, so I will give him a course of medicinal bath before pulling out the poison, and the materials written on it are the materials of the medicinal bath, which is not difficult to find, you had better give it to me at night, if the other medicinal materials are really hard to find, you have to go into the mountains to find them, and I estimate that you can't buy them with money." โ€

Xu Da snorted, he knew that what Lin Xiangyi said was the truth, now that there were wars everywhere, the medicinal materials were strictly controlled, and he really didn't plan to go outside to buy them.

"I'll go to the doctor in the village and ask if the pharmacy may have all of these, and the girl will be troubled to take care of them here." Xu Da put away the pharmacy and said.

Lin Xiangyi smiled and said that he was not welcome, and began to give the old man the first physical therapy.

"Girl, your medical skills are really good, I feel a warm current when this needle is pricked." Old Man Xu smiled and said, "It's much better than the old medicine head in our village." โ€

"Old man, are all the surnames Xu in your village?" Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.

"yes, there is no foreign name." The old man squinted his eyes and said with a look of enjoyment about the things in the village, "We have been moving here for more than a hundred years, since my grandfather moved here when he was young, and now there are several generations, and I have grandchildren. โ€

"Your ancestors are really powerful, you can find such a place." Lin Xiangyi said this from the heart, when he first entered the village, who would have thought that there would be such a river shuttling in the belly of the mountain is the road leading to the village, this has no secret words of its own, no boat, no one would have thought that there is such a village of forty or fifty households behind the water and the mountain, the village is self-sufficient, unless necessary, there is no need to go out of the village at all.

"Yes, when I was young, I often heard my grandfather talk about things when he was young, when the family was in trouble, my grandfather was injured, and this went down the water and entered here, if you talk about it, it is really a gift from God." Old Man Xu said with a smile, "Now that there is war outside, we can have a place to live, which is really fortunate." โ€

"The old man has such a good mentality." Lin Xiangyi pulled out the needle on the old man's body and said with a smile, "I see that the young people in the village respect you very much, and your old man must be good." โ€

"Thanks to the girl's compliment, I'm just teaching them to read and hyphenation." Old man Xu said with a smile, "Now that there is war outside, the girl can protect her family and defend the country at a young age, compared to you, my old man can be regarded as a reluctant man." โ€

Lin Xiangyi was also a little surprised that the old man would say this, after all, this village has been isolated from the world for a century, and it is not difficult to have this idea of being alone, after all, their ancestors were forced to hide in Tibet by people outside, and now it is normal for people not to want to go out, but in the words of this old man, there are still some regrets that there is no resistance to war?

"What does the old man's ancestor do?" Lin Xiangyi asked.

"Born as a military general." The old man didn't say much, but it was enough for Lin Xiangyi to crook something.

"I think the young men in the village are quite good, and they must have practiced martial arts on weekdays." This is not false at all, from the beginning of entering the village, men, women and children are quite stable when they walk, even Master Liu and they can see that the people here dare not say that they can dance knives and guns, but at least they have some kung fu.

"Martial arts is the foundation of the family, but we can't forget it." Old man Xu said, "We live in the mountains, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and we can't do it without some hard work." โ€

"That's right." Lin Xiangyi agreed, "Does the old man want the children to go out to fight the war?" โ€

"If a country is not a country, how can a family talk about a family? Nowadays, we no longer need to flee, and the older generation is reluctant to join the WTO, but the younger generation is ambitious. Old man Xu said, "Let them be, they have all become big men, where can my old man care." But I heard Xiaoda say that you are a Communist Party, so can you tell me about your rules? โ€

Lin Xiangyi smiled and said of course yes, so he sat with the old man and talked about what he had seen and thought over the years.

"Well, you guys have a good team." In fact, the old man had already known about the division of forces outside from the mouth of his eldest grandson, and he really had a good impression of this team that represented the poor and fought for national self-improvement, "Then it is your chief who came to our village to recuperate?" โ€

"It's my brother and an elder." Lin Xiangyi couldn't figure out what the old man wanted to do, so he didn't tell the truth. After hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "You little girl, in your early twenties, you have a careful mind, don't worry, I don't mean anything else to your chief, just curious." โ€

Lin Xiangyi smiled and said nothing, there is no malice in this village at present, but the heart of defense is indispensable!
