"The old decay is, the general is coming, what's the matter? Please speak—" The elder heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen, entered the living room, stepped forward, raised his thumbs with both hands, and responded with the courtesy of the Qin people, "General, please be seated!" ”

"I am Zhao Tuo, the deputy general of Tu Guowei, and the tens of thousands of soldiers led by this general have unfortunately contracted the plague, and many of them have blisters on their hands and feet and bodies, and they are constantly festering and bleeding pus. They felt extremely itchy to themselves, and there was nothing they could do in the army, and the soldiers died inexplicably. The elder is a divine doctor within a radius of a hundred miles, please save my Great Qin soldiers! The general said, "This is to reward the elder!" ”

With a wave of the general's hand, the big man behind him moved the five large boxes to the elder, opened them with brushes, and filled them with gold, silver, and jewelry, shining with gold.

"How dare you, how dare you! There is such a strange thing, the old man is willing to pay a visit, and ask the general to take away his belongings-"

"No! I Daqin has a rule, once the property is sold, it will not be taken back. It is advisable for the elders to be sure to accept it. ”

"For the time being, it will be stored here in the old decay, and if it is not cured, I should return it all." So Elder Tan followed the general out of the stilted building......

It wasn't until the barking of dogs completely disappeared that Jiuxiong and the others came out of the cellar, stretched their waists, and relaxed their muscles and bones: "Just now, this king really wanted to rush out and split the leader of the Qin army." ”

"Lord Wang, if you really come out, you will commit the elder's plan." Luo Qi said aside.

"If you don't know the truth, act recklessly, and you will be punished on the spur of the moment." Nishino Road.

"I don't know how to say hello to you, the higher the martial arts, the less courageous you are." Jiuxiong drank another big bowl of wine.

"Lord Wang, don't be greedy." The elder's wife advised, "This wine has been aged for many years, and drinking too much is not good for the body. ”

"Grandpa Luo, what should we do now?" For the first time, Jiuxiong had no opinion and asked Luo Qidao.

"Back to Lord Wang, the only thing we can do at the moment is to wait for Elder Tan to come back." Luo Qi said.

A bright moon hung high in the air, as clear as water, shining on the ground like day, and from time to time the mournful cry of an owl could be heard.

Elder Tan followed Zhao Tuo and his party to walk rapidly in the deep mountains and dense forests, although the divine doctor was gray-haired, but his memory was not old at all, he carefully remembered the signs of every intersection he passed, and thought: This Zhao Tuo came uninvited tonight, the plague of the Qin army must continue to spread, wait for me to see what is going on before making plans.

Elder Tan pretended to step on the air, stumbled, and sat on the ground without leaving. Zhao Tuo seemed to sense Elder Tan's abnormality, and asked, "Elder Tan, are you hurt?" ”

"It's okay to be old." Elder Tan rubbed his ankles and stood up again, limping to follow.

"Brothers, cut bamboo!" Zhao Tuo ordered. So a dozen or so sergeants drew their swords, cut some bamboo, and made a makeshift frame.

"Elder Tan, please—" Zhao Tuo said anxiously.

"No, I can walk on my own." Elder Tan pretended to excuse himself and struggled to take a few more steps.

"If you go on like this, it will be dawn when you arrive at the camp, and how many sergeants will have to die." Said an attendant.

"Elder Tan, please." Zhao Tuo helped Elder Tan onto the lifting frame.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Elder Tan was lying on the lifting frame, and several Qin soldiers were carrying it, swaying. At this time, he was happy in his heart, so that he could see the signs and trees on the side of the road more clearly. But after walking a long mountain road, the Qin army stopped and extinguished the torches.

"Why don't you light the torch?" Elder Tan asked, quickly pinching the pill hidden in his sleeve into powder.

"Elder Tan, there are too many wolves entering this place, and it is very easy to be tracked if there is a fire." Zhao Tuo turned around and responded.

"Oh, aren't wild wolves afraid of fire?" Elder Tan asked.

"Don't ask, that's what our general said." A sergeant carrying a stretcher. Elder Tan didn't continue to break the casserole and ask to the end, and an hour later, the Qin army entered an extremely secret bush.

"General, where is this?" Elder Tan said in the darkness through the faint light.

"Elder, don't ask if you shouldn't know." A sergeant walked up from behind and blindfolded Elder Tan with a black scarf, and then several people tied him with ropes, "Offended you, Elder." ”

The sergeants carried Elder Tan for about twenty minutes, re-lit the torches, and helped Elder Tan off the frame: "Now I invite Elder Tan to walk by himself." ”

Elder Tan was dragged by a sergeant, sometimes rising, sometimes descending, sometimes left, sometimes right, and after walking a hundred steps, there was a sound of dripping water, based on which he judged that he had entered an underground cave.

"Could it be that this hole is a shortcut to Shuixin Village?" Elder Tan subconsciously counted his steps, so that he could calculate the approximate length and depth of the cave. When he counted five hundred steps, the sergeant asked him to walk sideways and stretched out his hand to pull him, and Elder Tan did so.

A hundred steps later, Elder Tan didn't have to move sideways again, and a whirlwind came from inside the cave, accompanied by the low sound of chirping and the sound of whirring wings vibrating. He cried out in his heart, "Not good, vampire bat! ”

"Be careful, everyone, this bat is poisonous." Zhao Tuo shouted.

The sergeants surrounded Elder Tan in the middle, brandishing torches to drive away the swarm of bats that rushed in front of them. Fortunately, these soldiers of the Qin army were strong in martial arts, and they drew their swords and slashed the poisonous bats on their bodies to the ground, and after a burst of slashing, the bat swarm gradually retreated.

Everyone sweated, as long as the vampire bat bit a small hole in the skin, once the toxin was injected into the body, there was no chance of survival.

"Quick, keep up—" Everyone quickly walked through the death zone, and Elder Tan kept walking up with his instincts.

"Elder Tan, I've wronged you." Zhao Tuo approached and untied the black silk scarf and untied it for Elder Tan, "The camp has arrived." ”

"It's dry, watch out for the candles—" shouted the camp's watchman as he walked, and struck a shift.

Elder Tan opened his eyes and saw that he could almost touch the moon here, and the Qin army camp was full of tents, and the lights were continuous, and there were at least a thousand tents by sight.

"Elder Tan, please come with me." Zhao Tuo put on a white silk cloth and held a torch.

Elder Tan also took out a piece of white gauze from the medicine box and covered his mouth and nose, and followed Zhao Tuo into a tent. The sergeant inside lay on his back, his hands, feet, and face covered with light or red rashes. Some of the skin was bleeding pus, and it began to fester, and the stench was terrible. In severe cases, the symptoms of eyebrow loss, eye blindness, and facial deformity are already present.

"Elder Tan, is there a cure for this plague?" Zhao Tuo asked.

Elder Tan didn't need to get close, he could see at a glance that this disease was not a plague, but leprosy, and scolded in his heart: "Lang Zhong quack is also, this is heaven's curse!" ”

"Take a closer look at the old age." In order not to let Zhao Tuo see the clues, the divine doctor pretended to step forward to carefully examine the symptoms of more than a dozen patients, and asked, "Master Jun, how do you feel?" ”

The patient said weakly: "No pain or itching, the skin is numb, dry, and does not sweat." ”

"I don't feel heat, cold and pain." There are Taos.

Elder Tan stood up and responded, "It can be healed." ”

"Then the divine doctor, hurry up and use the medicine-" Zhao Tuo was excited.

"General, I came in a hurry and forgot to bring my medicine. Even if you bring it, there are not enough patients in number. "Elder Tan is playing tricks.

"Thou hast saved these poor brethren, who were born and died with me, and I brought them out of my hand." Zhao Tuo's voice was low.

"Don't worry, general. There is an ancestral secret recipe for the treatment of this incurable disease. Elder Tan pretended to comfort him, "There are still some home remedies in the medicine box to alleviate the condition, please ask the general to ask them to swallow warm water, which can save three days of worry-free life." ”

"Thank you, Elder Tan—"

Elder Tan poured out all the bottles and jars in the medicine box and handed them to Zhao Tuo, "There is no time to wait, the old man has to rush back to collect medicine overnight, so he will leave." ”

"Brothers, escort the elders down the mountain." Zhao Tuo came out of the tent.

"Yes, General!" So, more than twenty personal guards tied up Elder Tan again, blindfolded, and escorted him out of the camp as they had come.

Elder Tan, however, when he went down the mountain this time, he felt that the sound of the water was getting louder and louder, and every step was very difficult, and the time was much longer than in the cave.

"Elder Tan, it's here." A sergeant took off the black silk scarf of the miracle doctor, "We will send you here, and please bring the medicine here in three days, we will receive you ourselves." ”

Elder Tan opened his eyes and looked around, and the east was already white. There was a pool of deep water in front of him, and the waterfall flew down from the top of the mountain, and the mountain was extremely steep, and he thought: "Isn't this Shuixin Village?" ”

Elder Tan hurriedly responded: "Although the military master is relieved, the old man will definitely come as scheduled." ”……

Elder Tan thought as he walked, although I gave them some useless home remedies, how could so many Qin troops deal with it? He walked for three hours before returning to Miao Village.

As soon as he entered the vegetable garden, Jiuxiong shouted above the stilted building: "Elder Tan, where are you going?" After a night's sleep, the king died in a hurry. ”

"Lord, the old man will come with you one by one when he enters the house." Elder Tan looked up and replied.

In the hall of the stilted building, Elder Tan was discussing with King Katian about attacking Shuixin Village. When it was over, Xiye was reluctant to participate, and pulled Liu Qi and Luo Qi aside: "I'm waiting for me to travel to the Qin Dynasty to hunt for treasures, or don't get involved in this massacre." ”

Jiuxiong was so angry that he didn't fight: "You are still a hero of the West, there is no distinction between good and evil, this king has mistaken you!" If you don't go, I'll go! ”

Luo Qi said: "Lord Wang, it's not that we don't want to help the elders, if we go, the magic will be lost." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't want to go, the old decay will not be embarrassed." Elder Tan said.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, why did the elder slaughter tens of thousands of Qin troops?" Liu Qi was puzzled.

"This is also a last resort, if they don't die, we have to die. Leprosy was punished by the god of Chiyou, and there was no cure for decay for a while, and at most it could only prolong their time. ”

"Leprosy?" Jiuxiong smiled, "I know how to treat ......"

"Say it quickly—" Elder Tan said.

"Hey, don't say it, you don't understand it." Jiuxiong almost missed his mouth, and stopped talking.
