Chapter 721: Tooth Extraction (3)
Wenjuan's mother and son mashed the herbs they had picked on a stone and applied them to the injured tiger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If you give it oral Chinese medicine, I'm afraid it's not easy, the tiger doesn't eat vegetarian food, let alone bitter medicine? Not to mention, the anti-inflammatory herbs prepared by Wen Juan really worked. The tiger's wound is no longer painful, and it can sleep peacefully. Give it a new medicine every day. On the fifth day, the tiger was about to stand up. Through Bing'er, he told Tiger King that he should not move around if he had a fracture, and that he must stay in bed quietly. Of course, it doesn't have a bed, so it's called lying grass, and it hurts its muscles and bones for a hundred days. Maybe the tiger has strong immunity and good physical fitness, and it won't take more than a hundred days.
On the fifth day, the Tiger King decided to let Bing'er's mother and son go home. It ordered the monkeys to pick wild fruits, and put them in two large baskets full of wicker. Escorted home by the Tiger King and his wife and the monkeys. Of course, Bing'er conveyed her mother's instructions to the injured tiger, such as not to run and jump, not to soak in water, not to be with the tigress, and so on.
In this way, Wen Juan and Bing'er returned to their small courtyard unscathed. Wen Juan was afraid when she thought about it, and she didn't dare to think about the specific details of the treatment. The continuous fright, so that she came back with a high fever, Qing'er found Lang Zhong in the town, to Wen Juan for treatment, Lang Zhong said that it was no big deal, it was caused by some cold and fright, just take a few doses of medicine. So Qing'er decocted the soup and boiled the medicine, and waited for Wenjuan. Bing'er also takes care of her mother with Uncle Qing. Qing'er never mentioned this matter when she visited Tie Yan in the prison city. Let Qing'er bear it herself. As for how he spent the five days and five nights like this ghost gate, only he knew. But there is no impermeable wall, and there are only a few hundred people in the small twenty-eight station town, less than a hundred households, and in less than a day's work, two tigers took away a young daughter-in-law and a boy of seven or eight years old, and after five days, they were actually sent back by the tigers, which is a miracle of miracles! Tie Yan knew it from Mr. Hua's mouth. He believed what Mr. Hua said, there was no element of adding branches and leaves, but he couldn't believe that he could go home safely after being taken away by a tiger! Why did the tiger take the mother and son away? I'm hungry. Still need an explanation? It's unbelievable that you didn't eat the "dry food" in your mouth when you were hungry! Then he asked Mr. Hua, the little daughter-in-law and the boy must have been frightened when they came back, right? Don't just go out again. Mr. Hua didn't know that Tie Yan's daughter-in-law and children were also coming, and said: "I heard that the woman and the child have a Beijing accent, and when they came here from the capital, they either avoided trouble or caused trouble." The woman's husband was not like a fugitive, but went out every day to collect firewood and sell it in the market. If he was a fugitive, he would hide his head and tail there, but the young man was very calm, he worked non-stop every day, and he also went up to the mountains to pick mushrooms, cut horse lotus grass, and his daughter-in-law made baskets, and his small life was quite nourishing, and he did not look like a person who caused any trouble at all. ”
The more Tie Yan listened, the more like his daughter-in-law and children, the woman's husband must be talking about Qing'er, Qing'er has always been so diligent, and he is an idle person. So Wen Juan and Bing'er were taken by a tiger? Tie Yan's back was cold, and he stood up with a "pout" and grabbed Mr. Hua's hand: "Sir, please do me a favor and inquire in detail, who is the surname of the mother and son who was taken away by the tiger?" ”
"Guard Zhao, ...... are you?"
Tie Yan pulled Mr. Hua aside and whispered, "Sir, it's not that I'm hiding it from you, I'm afraid that these people in the prison city will know that my daughter-in-law is also in trouble." The mother and son you just said were taken away by the tiger are very similar to Zhao's wife, if it were them, that young man would not be a husband, but Zhao's brother-in-law, and he often came to the prison city to see me, please inquire. ”
"It's easy to say, the old man will ask you, what about you, don't worry too much, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future. You wait for the old man's news, this place is a small place, and you will know where they live as soon as you inquire about it. ”
"Thank you." Tie Yan was nervous.
Two hours later, Mr. Hua came. After saying hello to the Prison Lord, he led Tie Yan out of the cell. The cell here is also called a prison cell, and it feels similar to that of a big car shop. Four rows of houses in the east, west, north and south formed a courtyard house, in which the prisoners lived separately. If it weren't for the soldiers guarding the door, it wouldn't look like a prison. Mr. Hua is a friend of the prison lord and has been imprisoned here, and there are many people who know him among the prisoners. So it's just like Mr. Hua's home. Sometimes he also took his cellmates out for a drink. Few of the prisoners here escaped. He couldn't escape, the prison city was surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains were covered with primeval forests, and there was only one official road, and the only way to escape was to enter the forest. But the wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in there are enough to turn you into a delicacy in their mouths before you can run out of the forest. Over here. Tigers, wolves, and leopards eating people are all too commonplace. The local indigenous people refused to leave the place because it was easy to live. In the years of famine, you can go to the root of the mountain to pick wild fruits, hazelnuts, pine nuts, mushrooms, wild fruits and so on, even if there is no food, you can't starve to death, there are no starving people here, only you are accidentally eaten by wild beasts.
Speaking far away, Mr. Hua found out Tie Yan to take him home to see, otherwise Tie Yan would not be able to put his mind at ease. When he heard that he could visit his wife and children, Tie Yan burst into tears. This was something he never expected, and the thoughts of the end of the world burned his heart, but he knew that he would not be able to see them. Even if they can come and see themselves, I won't let them come, for the reason I mentioned earlier. But Mr. Hua can take himself out to see his wife, son, and younger brother! How can this be thanked to Mr. Hua?
"Don't say anything, brother, you have to look up to me, and we will be called brothers." It's the same people who have fallen to the end of the world, let's take care of each other to get through this difficulty. ”
In this way, Tie Yan followed Mr. Hua back to his "home" where he didn't know where he was. Husband and wife, father and son, brother saw each other, hugged each other, tears added to tears, and did not know what to say. Mr. Hua said: "Calm down, the Lord Prison has only given you an hour's work, if you have anything to say, hurry up." Big brother go outside the door and watch, so that no one else can come in and disturb you. ”
Qing'er hurriedly said, "I'll go out too." ”
Tie Yan grabbed Qing'er: "Don't go, let's talk together." said to Wen Juan again: "What is going on? Is it hurt? Scared or not? ”
"Xianggong, see that you are in a hurry, aren't we in a good place? The tigers didn't come to eat us, they came to us to heal their wounds. ”
"Heal? Will you heal? ”
"Yes, Wen Juan and her grandfather have learned to treat bone injuries, but they don't understand how the tiger would know about this. Bing'er and I weren't hurt, but it scared me, I said I'm not afraid, will you believe it? However, Bing'er is much better than me. If it weren't for Bing'er to protect me this time, I'm afraid I would have become tiger dung a long time ago. ”
"You said Bing'er protected you? How old is he? Bing'er, talk to your dad quickly. ”
"Bing'er will wait for her mother to finish speaking."
"Okay, now it's time for Bing'er to speak. Don't you know that the tiger is a man-eating animal? ”
"Yes. But it was useless to be afraid at that time. Bing'er has a way to keep them from eating us. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, you kid? Will the tiger still listen to your command? Don't you dare to eat it if you don't let it? Hey, it didn't eat you, so Bing'er really has a way? Tell Dad, what's going on? ”
"Master won't let me say it."
"Ah...... That's right. Dad understands, so don't say it, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. It turns out that my son has the ability. ”
"Dad, don't go out and show off, then your skills won't work."
"Yes, yes! Don't worry, Daddy won't tell anyone. How are you doing? ”
"Look, Xianggong, we're already living a small life now. You can rest assured, even the neighbors have always regarded Wenjuan and Qing'er as a couple. ”
"It's okay, it's safe. What do you say, Qing'er? ”
Qing'er was a little embarrassed, scratched her scalp, and smiled.
"Brother, thanks to you for taking care of their mother and son, eldest brother doesn't know how to thank you!"
"Young Master, what are you talking about? Qing'er's life is all given by you. It is the duty to take care of the lady and the little master. It's just that it didn't take care of it well, and let the tiger run away. Qing'er felt that the sky had fallen! I couldn't get up for several days, thanks to Grandma Liu and other neighbors taking care of me. If the lady and the young master really can't come back, Qing'er can only follow Jiuquan. He cried as he spoke.
"Brother! Your affectionate big brother......"
"Young master, Qing'er is doing what needs to be done, don't think about what to repay Qing'er. Well, now you can rest assured. Bing'er, go out with your uncle for a while, your father and mother may have something to say. As he spoke, he led Bing'er to the courtyard, and Mr. Hua was looking at the basket woven by Wen Juan. He admired the basket weaver so ingeniously and meticulously weaving a wicker basket. It's completely a work of art, not a big earthen basket in the countryside of Northeast China, or the kind used by farmers to pick soil. Sturdy is sturdy, too simple, too stupid. There is only use value, and there is no appreciation value. And this basket has both use value and appreciation value. If it is sold on the market, it will definitely be better than the soil basket, isn't this also an input? Although the woman of the guard is not very beautiful, her hands are quite flexible, and her current woman is not as good as others.
Qing'er saw that Mr. Hua was alone in the yard, and was a little uneasy, so she hurriedly took a small stool from the kitchen for Mr. Hua to sit on, and told Bing'er to pour water for Mr. Hua to drink.
Mr. Hua said: "Little brother, don't show up, the old man is not a distinguished guest, just be casual." When he saw Bing'er's cute appearance, he liked to hold Bing'er in his arms, "Brother Zhao's son is so likable!" At first glance, he is a smart child. ”
"Yes, Bing'er is very likable." Qing'er was in charge of talking to her husband. He inquired with Mr. Hua about the situation in the prison city and the situation in Tie Yan, and knew that this was to let the prisoners work, that is, the newcomers would be unlucky for a few days, and it would be much better for the young master to have Mr. Hua's protection. Coming here is no different from sending Ningguta. There is little hope of going back. But everything has its bad side and its good side. The news of the imperial court has long been outdated here, and the so-called mountain is far away from the emperor, and it is relatively free. It's not convenient to buy things, but it also saves money. If it weren't for the fact that there were many beasts in the mountains, everyone would pick up some mountain goods and sell them, which would still be an entry. I just didn't dare to go into the forest, there were too many beasts inside. But there are also a lot of mountain goods in it, and there is no way, everything is like this.
Bing'er thought: "Now I'm not even afraid of tigers, I'm afraid it's not a problem to go into the forest to pick up mountain goods, right?" "But he was a very well-bred child who never interjected in the conversations of adults. Just listen quietly.
Mr. Hua said again: "Little brother, this basket was made by your mistress, right?" ”
Qing'er asked, "How do you know?" Can't we buy it or bring it? ”
"Good question. But the old man knew that this basket was definitely not bought or brought by you, because this wicker is a unique product here. The place is colder and the trees grow slowly. It is very different from the willow trees in the capital. The wicker here is relatively thin and soft, and this one is not a branch of a willow tree, but a little brother from the strip of the meadow, that is, a wild willow, which does not grow into a willow, like a shrub, right? ”
"You really can. I know too much about this. ”
"Each place has its own unique scenery and customs. Here, it seems that people are very rude, but most of them are kind-hearted. There are not so many scheming, and it is easy to get along with. So the old man was a little reluctant to leave here. In other words, the folk customs are very pure, everyone can take care of each other, and there is no such thing as bullying. ”
Qing'er already felt this. When I was desperate and helpless, my neighbors I didn't know guarded me for days!
It's time to go back to the prison city. Mr. Wah has repeatedly stated that he will do his best to take care of Tie Yan and will not let him be bullied. Comforting Wenjuan said: "Brother and sister, nothing in the world is set in stone, just relax your heart here, wait with peace of mind, once the situation improves, you have to meet the emperor's amnesty, you can return to Beijing with your family." ”
In this way, both husband and wife are relieved. Although he can't stay in one place, he should be content, if it weren't for the master who rescued him and subdued Scarface, maybe Tie Yan would be in dire straits now.
Tie Yan returned to the prison city with Mr. Hua, and Wen Juan and the three of them went into the house to cook and eat. Bing'er helped her mother light the fire, and Qing'er went to the small well in the yard to fetch water and carry firewood to the house. Tie Yan's return home is undoubtedly a good medicine to heal Wen Juan's psychological wounds, and Miss Su, who has a daughter's body, was able to not fall down in such a major accident, because of her deep love for Tie Yan. Five thousand miles together, what kind of power is this? When I got here, I was raided by a tiger, and it didn't mean that it was all right. She was very afraid, and her fear at that time was not as good as that of the later ones, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. She didn't dare to think about how sad she and her son would be if they were eaten by a tiger! Husband and wife really feel separated when they meet. Why don't they thank their teacher?
"Mother, Bing'er thinks, tomorrow I will go to the forest with you or Uncle Qing to pick some more mushrooms and come back, and dry them to eat in winter. All right? ”
"My little ancestor, you can be at home, we can't afford to have an accident."
"Mother, what do you think, Bing'er is not even afraid of tigers, what else are you afraid of? Don't go far, just pick on the side. ”
"Mother will go with you."
"You can't do it, can you? The tiger has already been scared. ”
"Aren't you afraid of you? It's not safe for my mother to be at home alone, so let Uncle Qing'er take care of the house. ”
"Why isn't it safe?" (To be continued.) )
