Volume 1 The Death of the Arrows Chapter 8 The Way Out
"Boy, come out." Mo Shi carried the hoe on his shoulder, and his cold gaze approached the young man's body, "I have something to tell you." ”
The young man already had a bottom in his heart, and he followed him out of the door.
"You should know what to do this time." Mo released his hoe and looked down at the boy.
"You can't tell anyone, can you?" The boy said, "Is this a precursor to an offensive military campaign?" That wolf Gu. ”
"It's good to be smart." Mo Shi stared at him, "However, although I saved your life, it was not enough for you to push the military service into the fire pit in order to hide the facts." ”
"I'm not a unitarya." The boy said, "I was born in Loin. ”
Mo Shi was stunned for a moment, and smiled gloomily, "These two are not in conflict." ”
"If my guess is correct, you should be a tiger, right?" The boy said, "The Praetorian Guard Department in charge of containing Wolf Gu. ”
"Boy, I suddenly gave up on the idea of not killing you." Pulling the boy inexplicably, "You know? Whoever can get the information of Guangcai, he will eventually be pulled out and executed by our tigers. ”
"No matter where he is, or even what continent." He said.
The young man didn't know where he got the strength, and suddenly shook off Mo Shi's hand, "You can kill me now!" ”
"No, I'm not going to kill you." Mo Shi waved his hand at Xu Ji outside the house, "You are still useful." ”
"Am I still useful? No kidding, okay. Do the people of the Tiger Division still believe in this pathetic mercy? The young man looked at Mo Shi sarcastically, "Wolf Gu is cunning and cold-blooded, does Hu Si act as a benevolent and benevolent sect?" I don't believe that the iron-blooded emperor would allow his men to have the kindness of a woman. ”
"Boy, you're very smart." Mo Shi slowly approached the boy again, "But people who are too smart don't live long." ”
"I know, I've just been there. But now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that scary. ”
"Death is not worth fearing." "But you should learn to fear the tiger." ”
"And, the decision is mine, not yours." Mo Shi patted the boy's head and smiled, "Remember, what to say and what not to say." Can't even say, you know? I know in your heart that you owe me something, so you don't tear your face with me. But you must understand that the fall of military service is a foregone conclusion. Then came the Imperial City, and then the destruction of the country......"
The young man nodded slightly, he hated Guangcai. But it has not yet reached the point of hating everyone indiscriminately. The only thing he hated was the iron-blooded Emperor Guangpan.
He turned around to look at Xu Ji's back, and his heart twitched.
Hu Si Si saved himself by capturing Wolf Gu, so it is necessary for him to return this favor, this is his own creed. To put it more thoroughly, he is still afraid of death.
Tiger was soon gone. The boy only knew his name, Mo Shi. and his identity, the deputy capital of the Tiger Division.
I don't know anything else.
Xu Ji looked at the hoe and the leather made of cowhide outside the door, and knew that Mo Shi was gone.
"Dog, he's a court soldier, right?" Xu Ji stroked his long hair.
"Sort of...... bar. ”
"Thank you so much to him for helping me do so much here." Xu Ji said, "I think the baby's age is actually about to stand, but there are so many scars on his body." Presumably, he is also an unfortunate child from a small family. ”
The young man was silent, what he thought in his heart was completely different from the old man's feelings. He doesn't understand that he's just a flower with unclean hands and feet, and he's still useful? Finally...... Where can he get into the eyes of his tiger and deputy capital?
It was getting dark.
Xu Ji coughed and stroked the young man's back, "Dog, let's live here in the future." I don't think you have much to go. It's not okay if your hands and feet are not clean, and I will teach you how to decoction and pulse control in the future. Got it, dog? ”
The young man felt bitter in his heart and nodded. Thinking about it, it was the first time he had met such an old man, and he was willing to take him in. But since he can eat by handicraft, he still thinks about what kind of stealing work, so he simply stays here to help this old man.
"Uncle Xu, thank you...... You. ”
"Baby, thank you. I Xu Ji don't have any skills, I can only give others a number to see a doctor, and it is a blessing to be able to accept a child like you as an apprentice! ”
Before the young man could answer, someone suddenly walked in outside the door, he put down the farm tools in his hand and raised his hand, "Uncle Xu, I am the fifth king in the village!" I've been feeling sick lately! Show me! ”
"Yo, it's Wang Wu!" Xu Ji moved a chair for Wang Wu to sit down, and stretched out his hand to check his pulse, "Come, Wang Wazi, I'll treat you." ”
The young man also moved the chair for Xu Ji to sit down, and he stood aside to watch how Xu Ji diagnosed the symptoms of the human number pulse.
I saw Xu Ji stretch out his hand and press the inch, guan and ruler of the patient's wrist with his index, middle and ring fingers respectively, and close his eyes to investigate.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and frowned slightly, "Baby, your pulse is too sluggish and the floating strings are tight, if the diagnosis is correct, then you have a wind chill." ”
"In this way, I will prescribe you some medicinal herbs for the treatment of wind and cold, and when you go home, you can let your wife decoction for you."
Xu Ji turned around and loaded various medicinal herbs with a small shovel from the huge cabinet.
"Uncle Xu, what kind of medicinal herb is this? Like a flower. The young man pointed to a small shriveled flower and asked Xu Ji.
Xu Ji smiled: "This is called Aster!" It can remove phlegm and wheezing, and it is very effective for the treatment of wind and cold. ”
The young man nodded and turned to look at Wang Wu. But suddenly found that the patient's gaze wandered away from the cowhide left when Mo Shi left.
There were nearly ten taels of silver in the leather, enough for Xu Ji to do nothing for several years. It was Mo Shi who thanked Xu Ji for the cost of treating the teenager.
Although Xu Ji tried his best to stop it, Mo Shi left as if he was flying. Xu Ji was reluctant to accept it, and there was no reason to throw it on the side of the road and wait for someone to pick it up.
"Dog, go get my scales!"
"Okay, I'll go." The boy turned into the back room and fumbled for the scales.
After a while, he quickly handed the scale to Xu Ji.
"Dog, do you know this herb?" Xu Ji took the scale, but he was not in a hurry to weigh the medicine, he pointed to a medicinal herb on the prescription.
"This ...... What is this? The boy was dumbfounded.
"This one is called Schisandra." Xu Ji slowly took out the silver taels, "I want you to go to the pharmacy in the city to buy some of this medicinal herb." ”
"I'll be right away!" The young man took the silver two and patted his chest, "Wait for me, Uncle Xu, I'll be back soon!" ”
"Ah...... Uncle Xu, how long do I need to take this medicine? Wang Wu suddenly spoke.
"Oh, this prescription is specially prepared by me, and it only takes three courses to stop."
"I see." Wang Wu opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
"What's the matter, Wang Wu?" Xu Ji thought that Wang Wu was suffering from a recurrence of wind and cold, and hurriedly asked.
"Ah...... It's okay, it's okay, by the way, Uncle Xu. Wang Wu said, "What's in that leather?" I've never seen such a rare object. ”
Xu Ji followed Wang Wu's point and looked in the direction of Gezi.
"You mean that! It was a cowhide, from a kind kid!"
"Someone else gave it!" Wang Wu pinched the corners of his clothes, a little nervous, "It's weird and good-looking......"
On Yongan Street, it is bustling. The shouting and shouting were endless.
The Tiger and Wolf Army of Guangcai has broken through the northern border of Youya, and the next step is the military service of this southern gateway. But now there is no tension on the eve of the war, on the contrary, it is very lively.
A beggar's hungry eyes straightened, and he crashed into the boy's arms, falling on all fours.
"Hey! I don't have long eyes! The boy looked at the stunned beggar and slapped the dust off his body.
The beggar was silent, he stood up and went on his own way. The young man saw that this man was so hungry that he couldn't even walk steadily, so he stopped thinking about it and went straight to his destination, which he was very familiar with. I have been calling Hanako for so many years, and every time I come to a new place, the first thing I do is to understand its geographical distribution.
In a matter of moments, he found the drugstore.
"Shopkeeper, give me two taels of schisandra!" The young man couldn't understand the various herbs on the shelf, so he simply said the name of the herb directly to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, wait a minute." The shopkeeper laughed, reached out and took the scales and went to take the herbs he needed, measuring the weight.
The young man leaned against the counter, thinking about how to follow Xu Ji to learn this pulse. When he saw Xu Ji, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he knew one or two of them. How long does it take to practice? He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Guest, your medicinal herbs."
The young man stretched out his hand to take the medicinal herbs, still thinking about things in his heart, and turned around and wanted to leave.
The shopkeeper stared, he saw that this little ghost took the medicinal herbs but didn't say a word about the money, and immediately became anxious, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled. He stepped over the fence and quickly followed the boy.
"Guest officer, you haven't paid yet!"
"Huh?" The boy was shocked, "I'll give you the money." ”
He reached into his pocket and touched the silver taels Xu Ji gave him, but after groping for a long time, he didn't touch a copper plate. He slapped his thigh and screamed that the money must have been stolen!
But even if he knew that the money had been stolen, he had no place to look for the beggar. He stiffened his face and looked back at the shopkeeper's expression, hoping that the shopkeeper would be magnanimous.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, this kid must have no money! He was furious, and snatched the medicinal herbs that had been weighed.
"You little devil! I really don't know what to do, but I dare to come to me to ask for money! Hurry up and get out, if you're late, you have to blame me for being rough! ”
The young man secretly weighed the dwarf shopkeeper in front of him, and couldn't help laughing. He quickly left the shop, wondering whether to wait until late at night and then go to the shop to steal some gold baht to let him know that it was awesome, or set fire to the medicinal herbs.
