Chapter 24: NDE
The sound of "Tap, tap, tap..." kept ringing in his ears, and Jiang Xiaobai in the chaos only felt that his body was jolting with something, and the scene of Jiang Mansion was constantly replaying in his mind. Fires, massacres, the wails of pain from the people of Jiangfu... Repeated over and over again, gradually Jiang Xiaobai's forehead was oozing cold sweat, as the picture kept playback, fire, slaughter, wailing... A name slowly came to his mind, and he muttered the name "Wang Ji, Wang Ji... The more I read it, the more angry I became, the more excited I became, and in the end, I gritted my teeth and shouted: "Wang Ji!!! Ahh
Jiang Xiaobai woke up suddenly, only to feel that the bright sun stabbed a little unable to open his eyes, he rubbed his head, eased up for a while, only to find that he was lying on a donkey cart, and was slowly moving on a forest road at this time, and heard someone say: "Young man, you finally woke up." ”
Looking for prestige, Jiang Xiaobai saw a person sitting on the back of a donkey, holding a small branch in one hand, and gently patting the donkey's back from time to time. The man looked to be only about thirty years old, and was wearing a yellowed old silk gown, like a Taoist robe, and the clothes had obviously not been changed and sloppy for a long time.
Jiang Xiaobai still felt very uncomfortable in the sun, and the smell of blood on his body was also disgusting, he rubbed his brain, and asked suspiciously, "You saved me?" ”
"Yes, I saw that you were young and covered in blood, so I felt pitiful and rescued you" The man who drove the donkey turned his face, and Jiang Xiaobai saw his appearance clearly. Thin face, deep eyes, facial features are quite delicate, fluffy messy hair, that face is greasy with a layer of yellow-black oil, as if he has not washed his face for a long time, his beard has not been shaved, and the whole look is poor and unkempt.
"Oh..."Jiang Xiaobai sighed softly, moved his body, and found that the internal organs injured by Xi Yuehong seemed to be much better, and he no longer felt pain, and the knife wounds on his body had also been bandaged, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "The injuries on my body were also healed by you?" ”
"Of course! Don't look at me like this, I'm a famous Langzhong! The man smiled aloud and said proudly, "Hanging the pot to help the world, it is me who is helping the common people, and I am the one who gives me the nickname Mr. Reliable!" ”
"Uh..." Jiang Xiaobai laughed dumbly in his heart, how could anyone send such a name, most of them were canonized by himself, so he said suspiciously: "You are really a famous man?" ”
"Hey! Don't believe me, you can go around and ask to see if anyone doesn't know my reliable gentleman" The man was anxious and hurriedly said, "Look at what is around you." ”
Jiang Xiaobai heard what the man said so vigorously, and couldn't help but look around him, and saw that the donkey cart was full of herbs, and there was a flag on the side, on which were written the words "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence".
"It's really a Lang Zhong..."Jiang Xiaobai silently recited in his heart, people can't look like this is right, some people just can't be measured by appearance... Thinking about it, this sloppy man who is known as a reliable gentleman must not have bad medical skills, otherwise, he suffered such a serious internal injury, how could he recover so quickly under his treatment. Jiang Xiaobai once thought it was the effect of the pill, it seemed that he had misunderstood the gentleman in front of him, and was about to open his mouth to thank him, but when he saw Mr. Reliable's smug face, he suddenly looked nervous, and the small branch he was carrying in one hand quickly slapped the donkey's back, and muttered in his mouth: "Donkey, donkey!" Run faster, you'll be over!!"
Jiang Xiaobai looked puzzled, how could he change so quickly in a blink of an eye, and then he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, only to see a group of people chasing the donkey cart running, all of them were villagers, all holding hoes, pickaxes, wooden sticks, etc., and shouted violently: "Fake Langzhong, don't run!" ”
The more the villagers shouted, the faster the small branches waved in the hands of the man who drove the donkey, and it was strange to say that under the man's encouragement, the donkey cart actually ran out of the speed of the carriage, and in a short time the villagers were left behind.
"Poof..."Jiang Xiaobai was speechless for a while when he saw this scene, just now, he believed this man's nonsense, and his reputation turned out to be notorious... It seems that his injuries are recovering quickly, or the effect of that miraculous pill, this reliable gentleman in front of him... It's really unreliable, and I can't help but worry about whether there will be a problem with this wound bandaged by him...
The donkey cart was moving forward quickly, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to let the man put himself down in the previous place, but thinking that his injuries had not healed, it was not good to do anything when he returned to Guangfu at this moment, and besides, there was a strong martial arts Xiyuehong by Wang Ji's side... Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai planned to temporarily follow the reliable gentleman in front of him to wander around the rivers and lakes, and return to Guangfu to make plans after his injuries healed, that is, he asked: "Mr. Reliable, where are we now, and where are we going?" ”
Mr. Reliable looked back and saw that the villagers had not caught up, so he breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "On the border of Shonan County, we are going to rest in the town more than ten miles away in front of us, and look for business by the way." ”
"Shonan-gun... It turns out that I have been in a coma for a few days," Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself.
....
Shonan County borders Lingnan County and is also the southern tip of the Yue Kingdom. Previously, Jiang Xiaobai knew very little about Xiangnan County, only that the people of Xiangnan County loved spicy food, almost to the point of no spicy food, and this was also known in the "Travels to the Nations" I read before. When Mr. Reliable and Jiang Xiaobai arrived at a border town in Xiangnan County, it was already evening.
"Phew! Sigh! Mr. Reliable grabbed the donkey and jumped off the donkey's back, took out the flag embroidered with the four big characters of "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence" in the car, and walked on the streets of the town with the donkey in one hand and the flag in the other, and shouted in his mouth: "Come and take a look, hang the pot to help the world, and rejuvenate the wonderful hands, regardless of the major or minor diseases, the medicine will be eliminated, and no money will be charged if it is ineffective." Come and have a look..."
Jiang Xiaobai felt embarrassed for a while, and it was also a shame that this reliable gentleman could shout such a shameless slogan without blushing and heartbeat, so quickly he forgot about being chased by the villagers and running away in embarrassment?
Suddenly there were two faces in the border town, a raunchy Langzhong and a bloodstained boy, the two of them immediately attracted the attention of many townspeople, everyone looked at them together, but they retreated to the two of them one after another, and no one dared to approach.
Mr. Reliable is still walking leisurely on the street, with that unreliable slogan in his mouth. As he walked, he suddenly stopped, sniffed, turned his head to look at the bun stall on the side, immediately touched his stomach, swallowed his saliva, and asked Jiang Xiaobai: "Are you hungry?"
After saying this, Jiang Xiaobai immediately felt that his stomach was empty, so he nodded.
"Let's go eat steamed buns!" Mr. Reliable smiled, pulled the donkey cart to the steamed bun stall, and shouted at the boss, "Here are five big meat buns, hurry up!"
"Howler! This guest officer, wait a minute" The owner of the bun stall was very enthusiastic, and he didn't seem to care about the bloodstained Jiang Xiaobai behind Mr. Reliable. After a while, he took out five steaming buns from the steamer and said with a smile, "Guest officer, these are all freshly baked meat buns!" ”
When Mr. Reliable saw the bun in the boss's hand, he swallowed saliva in his mouth, and said, "The stuffing is enough!" Add some chopped green onions. ”
"Guest officer, don't worry, the stuffing is enough" The owner of the steamed bun stall wrapped the bun and presented it to Mr. Reliable, "Thank you!" Five-penny"
Mr. Reliable took the bun with joy, and searched around the inside of his clothes with his hand, "Huh? After a while, he put down the bun again, turned to look at Jiang Xiaobai, touched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "That... Do you have any money on you, I don't seem to know where my money has gone..."
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at him, but fortunately, he still had more than ten taels of silver in his body, so he took it out.
Mr. Reliable's eyes lit up, and he snatched all the silver in Jiang Xiaobai's hand, gave it to the owner of the bun stall, and put all the silver into his arms.
"You!" Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Reliable also rolled his eyes back, and said confidently: "What am I... I'm going to treat you, and I'm going to find an inn to rest for you, so you can change and wash, don't you dare to approach me without looking at the people around you, it's the bloody clothes on your body that are full of blood that frightens people, and you should pay for the loss of this business."
After Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he was speechless for a while, so he had to smile helplessly, and sighed secretly, "This reliable Mr. is really unreliable..."
After Mr. Reliable ate the buns, he led the donkey cart around the town, and saw that there was no business, so he found an inn to live in, and when Jiang Xiaobai washed his body, he returned to the room, and Mr. Reliable had already boiled the medicine and put it on the table: "Drink it quickly, the effect of the medicine will not be so obvious when it is cold." ”
"You... Will it really heal? Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but tremble when he saw the bowl of black medicine on the table, and couldn't help asking.
Mr. Reliable's face became anxious again: "Why don't you believe me, the serious injuries in your body are so fast that I have taken care of them in recent days." ”... After saying that, seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was still looking at himself suspiciously, he refused to drink the medicine he decocted, and suddenly became serious, and said, "Your injury was injured by a martial arts master, and the five mansions and six organs in your body were violently shocked. I think... If it hadn't been for some elixir that soothed your wounds, you'd have been dead for a long time now..."
When Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he opened his mouth in shock, and looked at Mr. Reliable in disbelief. Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's expression, Mr. Reliable blinked and said proudly: "Now you finally believe me, drink the medicine quickly, after drinking, I will show you something amazing, and you will trust me even more." ”
After Jiang Xiaobai drank the medicine suspiciously, he saw Mr. Reliable take out a piece of jade ornament from his bag and said, "Take a look."
"What is this" Jiang Xiaobai took the jade ornament and took a closer look, only to find that the jade ornament handed over by Mr. Reliable was strangely shaped, it was rectangular, the front head was large and the back head was small, just like the coffin, and the front of the jade ornament was also engraved with an archer pattern with a person on the upper body and a horse on the bottom, which was really weird, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's surprised look, the look on his face became a little proud, and he said in high spirits: "Hey! This jade ornament was given to me by the emperor when I was doing things for the imperial court. I dare to say that there will be no more than twenty people in the whole world who have this kind of jade ornament! ”
Listening to Mr. Reliable's words, Jiang Xiaobai felt that the jade ornament in his hand was lubricated and crystal clear, and there was a trace of coolness in his hand, which made people feel comfortable.
Such a high-quality jadeite, the best carver can be described as a good jade ornament that is hard to find, but Jiang Xiaobai does not believe that this reliable gentleman in front of him has done things for the imperial court, let alone believes that this is a gift from the emperor, just because this person is too unreliable.
