Chapter 6 Dongting Floods
At dawn on the second day, Jing Xuan sent people to a nearby village to inquire about the whereabouts of Xie Wei.
He couldn't let go of that girl, who was good at medicine and could tell the rise and fall, and he should have been treated as a strategist.
And judging from the kind of spirit in the song of relieving worries, persuading her to be a concubine last night may have annoyed her, but persuading her to be a strategist, she may not refuse.
He lost his words last night, hoping that there is still a chance to make amends.
But the attendant reported that the little medicine girl had long since left the place, and no one knew her whereabouts.
An encounter with her yesterday was as ethereal as a dream.
Jing Xuan was stunned, but there was nothing he could do.
Without making too many stops, the convoy set off again, and the purpose of Jing Xuan's trip was to greet his uncle Jing Cha.
It's a pity that Xie Wu thought of Jing Xuan is one of the three surnames of the royal family yesterday, but forgot that there is Jing Cha in his clan who is still alive with Song Yu's name.
After saying goodbye to Jing Xuan's convoy that night, Xie Wei did not return to the village where he originally lived with the piano on his back, but walked along the lakeside for most of the night and found another village to spend the night.
From spring to summer, Jie Wei has been wandering around the Dongting area.
She often uses "going with the flow" to describe her life, where she goes to the village, she asks a family to take her in, and then treats people in the village for free, the villagers are simple, and naturally they will not starve her.
In the past four years, she has been like this since she escaped from the scene of the extermination.
Meeting Jing Xuan did not bring any changes to her life, and within half a month, she forgot about the bright and friendly Chu nobleman.
But in the end, Xie Wu found out that it was inconvenient to be a woman, so he simply pretended to be a boy while he was still young, claiming to be a "medical worry", and practiced medicine in the Dongting area.
The spring of Chudi passed quickly, there was a torrential rain in the summer of this year, and Xie Wei lived in a small village, and every day when the showers were less off, he would wear a small bamboo hat and go out to collect medicine in a hedgehog-like robe.
Because of the tired rain, the already humid climate of Chudi has become more and more humid, which has aroused many internal and external dampness symptoms, such as drowsiness in the limbs, pain in joints and muscles, chest tightness, loss of appetite, loose stools and other diseases, and she is busy like a small spinning top every day.
The name of medical worries has also quietly spread in Chudi with her busy work of treating patients and relieving people's pain.
The village chief who took in and relieved his worries was an old man who was over the age of sixties, and this age was a war and a natural disaster, and the level of medicine was poor, so it was very rare for the old man to live to be more than 60 years old, so the old man became the village chief without any suspense, and he was particularly loved.
The village chief often chats with the worries, sometimes chatting about some customs, sometimes talking about the rare birds and different grasses in Chudi, naturally due to the recent rain, the village chief will occasionally mention that the water level in Dongting has skyrocketed, and it has swallowed up many villages and farmlands near the lake.
I can listen to my worries.
The so-called "after the catastrophe, there will be a great epidemic", refers to the fact that after many natural disasters, due to the flooding of ditches and animal pens, sewage with bacteria flowed everywhere, and the dead corpses also produced many flies and insects because of **, which will cause epidemic diseases.
At this time, Dongting is in the hot and rainy summer, which is the best season for bacteria to breed.
She still wanted to live here permanently, so naturally she couldn't watch the plague happen, so she packed up a few days later, left the village with books.
She knew that the village chief would definitely stop her, so she didn't even give him this opportunity.
Xie Wei walked in the opposite direction of the displaced people's flight, distributing some deworming drugs to them on the way, and it took nearly half a month to reach the core area of the flood.
The name of this doctor spread faster than the flood as she distributed medicine.
Although this was originally a matter of solving her worries, she did not expect that she would be so famous in a short period of time.
Xie Wei cautiously approached the core area of the flood, and with a horizontal paulownia wooden staff in his hand, he knocked the wild grass in front of him and between them from time to time to disperse insects and snakes.
The stagnant water where she landed was receding, and in the distance it was like a vast ocean, and the spring water of Dongting, which was still smoky in spring, seemed to suddenly open its bloody mouth and swallowed countless lives.
Relief eyes slightly closed, everywhere by water stains and mud ravaged grass grass, can occasionally find the corpses left by the water, some have begun to **, the smell of flies tirelessly play the "buzzing" summer song.
The vast wet meadow was deserted, and only the light of the water reflected the morning sun, piercing the eyes, and it seemed that there would be no survivors here.
Xie Wei decided to return to Fangcai's town, and still distributed medicine to Li Shu, who was infected with the epidemic nearby, to cure his illness.
Just as she turned around, a rough voice suddenly sounded: "Xiao'er! ”
The empty sky and water echoed with this call, dragging out an extremely long echo.
Xie Wei slowly turned around, in fact, she didn't want to admit that this contemptuous voice was calling her, but her body was indeed only eight years old, and she couldn't admit it if she didn't want to.
In the distance, on the edge of the flooding lake, a man with a sturdy figure was slowly rising from the grass, wearing a brown ground beard suit, green cloth trousers, a pair of cowhide boots, a tight waist, a bronze sword hanging from his back, and a lot of blood on his right hand, still dripping down.
Xie Wei watched him approach in a daze, it was hard to imagine that after such a big flood, there were still living people.
"Why is the child here? Contemptible people are not ghosts, why are they so surprised? The man looked up and down to solve his worries, and the little girl in front of him was also petite, and the time it took to look at others was enough to look at her four or five times, not even a single hair.
What's even more ridiculous is that she is still dressed as a boy, can't people really see that her beautiful face is a daughter?
Xie Wu glanced at him, "My name is Xie Wei." "If she was a few years older than the man in front of her in her previous life, where would she be in the situation of being called around and treated as a child.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, good, good, solve your worries." ”
Xie was satisfied, and a pair of big eyes looked at his right hand.
The blood spots that he had just glimpsed came from several of his knuckles, and there was a blur of flesh and blood everywhere, stained with water and mud, and if this kind of injury was not treated, the consequences could be imagined in such hot and humid weather.
Xie Wei immediately took out the oilcloth bag wrapped in medicine and needles from his arms, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Take it in your hand." ”
The man was stunned again, "You little ......" The opinion was angry, and he immediately changed his words, "You are a doctor?" ”
"Although Xie Jie admires the feelings of 'a pit viper stings his hand, a strong man will relieve his wrist', but for the sake of the sword behind him, the strong man still keeps this hand!" Xie Wei counted down, his eyelids did not lift, he quickly took out the dagger and cut off the purulent flesh on his arm, and quickly applied the wound medicine he brought with him, and the whole process did not take more than half a cup of tea.
