Chapter 25: Healing
The big black man fell to the ground, blood seeping into the snow, red and white, extremely dazzling.
He didn't struggle anymore and died quietly.
Yang Congyi endured the pain, took off his clothes, and wanted to tie the wound tightly to stop the bleeding from the bleeding wound. Otherwise, once he loses too much blood, even if Hua Tuo is alive, he will have no power to return to heaven.
"Big brother, how are you?" Seeing that the bandits were silent, the child rushed over to inspect Yang Congyi's injuries.
Yang Congyi looked at the child's anxious expression, endured the pain and smiled, "It's okay, thanks to your arrow just now, if it weren't for you, I would have become a headless ghost, thank you!" ”
The boy said, "That man is a bad person." Big brother, you shed a lot of blood? ”
Yang Congyi said, "Help me tie the belt to the wound." ”
The child took the belt, pressed the wound around Yang Congyi's waist, and used all his strength to tie the belt.
After tying it up, Yang Congyi endured the pain and put on his clothes, carrying a gun and preparing to go down the mountain, he must stop the bleeding and treat it as soon as possible.
When the child passed by the dead black-faced man, he saw the words engraved on the knife stuck in the snow, and said, "Take this knife." ”
The child pulled out the knife with both hands, and because the knife was too heavy, he could only hold the handle of the knife and drag it away.
The way down the mountain is extremely difficult, and it can be said that it is difficult to walk an inch.
Yang Congyi knew that if he didn't hurry down the mountain to apply medicine to stop the bleeding, he would inevitably faint due to excessive blood loss, and it would be difficult to die at that time. In order to live, he could only endure the severe pain of the wound and move down the mountain step by step.
Suddenly, they heard the shouts of the villagers coming from the bottom of the mountain, and the child shouted, "Grandpa, we are here, the eldest brother is injured, you come up quickly." ”
Someone at the foot of the mountain responded, and after a while, dozens of people rushed up, each carrying a bow and a knife. Seeing that the two of them were not worried about their lives, everyone's expressions were a lot more relaxed.
Yang Congyi gave them a rough overview of the situation on the mountain, and the village chief arranged for everyone to send them down the mountain first, and as for the dead people on the mountain, they will deal with it later, after all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and it is the right thing to do now to treat the living first.
After going down the mountain, Yang Congyi learned that the uninjured catcher had already set off first, and returned to the county government to report to the magistrate, and he was aware of the matter.
Yang Congyi's injury was very serious, the wound on his back was about three inches long and half an inch deep, and the excessive blood loss and pain had made his face pale. Fortunately, this wound did not reach the spine, if it was a centimeter slower at that time, the entire spine would be cut off with a knife, it would really be worse than death, and he was a little afraid when he remembered the situation at that time.
Trauma is very common for these villagers, and it is nothing more than a dressing and a bandage. For seriously injured people like Yang Congyi, they also treated him in the same way, and helped him to bed and lie on his stomach after hugging him.
There are many herbs in the mountains that have a good effect on stopping bleeding, and after Yang Congyi applied the medicine, the bleeding from the wound was significantly reduced, and he knew that he had picked up a life.
The next day, after Langzhong came to check his pulse, he told him that although he was weak, his breath was stable and there was no major problem, and he could get out of bed and walk around as long as he meditated and recuperated for half a month. However, the seriously injured body is very easy to induce other diseases, if not prevented, and other diseases will be unpredictable, and he is left with better external and internal medicines.
For the next ten days, Yang Congyi felt like a year, lying on the bed and not daring to move, many times wondering if he could move except for his head, but fortunately, the child named Dulin would often come to beat his legs, so that he knew that he still had sensations in his legs.
All he could do in ten days was to practice, and he used to think that he could only sit down, but when he could only lie down, he began to try to practice lying down. After trying it, I realized that lying down and running the internal breath was faster, gathering faster, and dispersing faster, and the time taken to run the breath for a week was more than twice as short as before, and practicing lying down was simply twice the result with half the effort. I don't know if the old Tao who taught him to practice knows if he should tell him the next time I see him. However, lying down to practice is too unsightly, and those who don't know still think that they are sleeping, thinking that the old way will definitely not be able to pull down, and will definitely not change meditation to lying down, it seems that this kind of practice method can only be enjoyed by himself.
When the dressing was changed in the morning, the child happily told Yang Congyi that his wound had healed and scabbed. No wonder he felt that the wound was itchy these days, like a little bug crawling, and he always wanted to scratch it with his hands, but he couldn't help it, because the child told him that there were no bugs near the wound.
It was a great rest, and he couldn't wait to rush back.
The old village chief who heard the news hurriedly pulled him back, the wound had just healed, the snow in the mountains had not completely melted, and the roads were difficult to walk in some places. He asked Yang Congyi to recuperate for another five days, and it was not too late to leave when the injuries on his body were completely healed, no matter how anxious he was, in the past few days, the county lord would not be unkind and let a seriously injured person be taken out of the office.
Yang Congyi thought about it quietly, the old village chief was right, the mountain road is really difficult, and it is very dangerous to walk with injuries, anyway, they have been lying for ten days, and they don't care about lying down for a few more days, or wait for recovery before going back. When he got up and got out of bed, he felt that his back was still a little painful, and the wound was not completely healed, so Yang Congyi lay down again and waited for his body to fully recover.
On the same day, a group of catchers came to Lotus Village, and they rushed to check the situation after receiving the news.
When he saw Yang Congyi lying on the bed, he was full of admiration on his face. Someone said, "Brother Yang, you are so good!" Do you know who the big black guy you killed was? ”
Yang Congyi said, "What he said himself seems to be a black iron bull from Tianzhu Mountain, and he has a lot of strength." ”
The man said, "Brother Yang, do you know that this Black Iron Bull has any skills?" ”
Yang Congyi said, "How do I know, I don't know if he didn't say it himself." ”
The man continued, "Let me tell you, this black iron bull is born with divine powers, he killed wolves and tigers when he was young, and he is very famous in the neighboring towns, and later he worshiped a master and learned a kung fu, which is even more remarkable, the knife he used is full of forty catties, and ordinary people can't play it even if they lift it." He has a bad temper, whoever makes him unhappy, he will pick up a knife and cut people, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't block his ten knives, many people can't block a knife and can't dodge, because the knife kills, no one on the road dares to provoke him casually, and because of the long black, the road gave him a nickname, called the black-faced Yama. Brother Yang can save his life from his knife and kill him, it can really be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, such a major event will definitely shock the rivers and lakes. ”
Yang Congyi said, "I didn't expect that big black man to have such a background." It was a complete coincidence that I was able to kill him, if it weren't for the fact that this little boy from the Twilight Forest helped shoot an arrow to distract him, what you see now is not me lying on the bed, I was saved by him. The death of the black iron bull in Huangquan is completely his own fault, if it weren't for his murderous evil, how could there be such an end, the murderer, people will always kill him, this eternal truth he may not understand. ”
Zhongzhu said quickly, "Brother Yang is really powerful, killing this lawless person, really give us a long face, and see if those self-righteous Jianghu people dare to be arrogant in the future, dare not take us in their eyes." ”
Yang Congyi knew how many catties and taels he had, and said hurriedly, "Don't wear a high hat for me, it is all up to luck to kill him, not because I am strong in martial arts, but because he is too careless." I wasn't his opponent at all when I really fought, you see I've been lying on the bed for ten days, I only dodged one of his moves, if it weren't for my luck, I would have been cut in two by him a knife, how can I still talk to you here. Then he turned around and asked, "How did Lord Zhixian deal with this?" ”
As soon as he caught it, he said, "Five days ago, the lord of Tianxian County got a reward, so he personally rushed to Huaining and sent a message to let us come to Lotus Village to inquire about your news." ”
Yang Congyi said, "That's good, we must not let them do evil again." ”
Someone asked, "Brother Yang, who are they you talking about?" ”
Yang Congyi said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, it's the gang of bandits in Tianzhu Mountain, they took advantage of the snow night to rob Huaining's prison at the beginning of the month, and released many felons, according to Heitieniu, those people all went to Tianzhu Mountain." ”
Someone said, "We have heard of Tianzhu Mountain, when I was a child, I was a bandit, and I went down the mountain to rob and kill people when I had nothing to do, and then the government exterminated them." Why didn't they fight for a few years and they came out again, so they weren't afraid that the government would exterminate them again? ”
Another humanitarian, "There are many people who are at ease in the mountains, and some people are not able to be disciplined, and even if they are not hungry now, they are still willing to run to the mountains." Tianzhu Mountain is so big, hundreds of thousands of people can find a few mountain nests to hide, and the officers and soldiers can't find their shadows when they go in, how can they be exterminated? The last time they were encircled and suppressed, I remember that the imperial court sent 20,000 troops, and it took three months to exterminate them, and the bandits who slipped through the net did not dare to show their heads from then on. Although the Anqing Army is now set up, the garrison is only 3,000 people, and if it is sprinkled into Tianzhu Mountain, there will not be a single bubble. As long as they don't gather people to rebel, the officials and masters of the court will not bother to ask for trouble. ”
The others chimed in, "It makes sense, the imperial court doesn't even want to go to Kyoto, how can they use a lot of troops to find bandits in the mountains." It seems that those prisoners ran away in vain, and if they can't be caught, I don't know who will be blamed. ”
Someone said, "It must have nothing to do with us, those people ran away in Huaining Prison, if you want to find someone to arrest people, they will arrest them, and if you want to punish crimes, we will also punish them, so let's not worry about it." ”
A group of arresters were talking in his room, speculating about how the case would be handled, who would handle it, and who would be responsible.
Yang Congyi thought to himself, now that it has been confirmed that the escaped Xiaosongpo prisoner was committed by Tianzhu Mountain, and it was not the co-defendant in the Xiaosongpo case who robbed the prison, then this case has nothing to do with Taihu County, and Huaining should bear the responsibility for running away prisoners, and Taihu County does not have to wade into this troubled water.
After arguing for a while, someone suggested that Yang Congyi should have a good rest, and everyone withdrew, leaving Yang Congyi alone in the room to recuperate from his injuries.
Three days later, the wound on Yang Congyi's body was completely healed, revealing a pale red scar, and there was no problem in getting out of bed and moving.
Lang Zhong was amazed after seeing it, Yang Congyi's injury recovered too quickly, a wound as long and deep as his, it was impossible to go to the ground without half a month of recuperation in the early spring of the snow, let alone the wound completely scabbed and healed. Looking at Yang Congyi, who was in good health, he couldn't figure out why, in his eyes, Yang Congyi was like a monster.
Yang Congyi heard Lang Zhong say that his injury was fine, as long as he didn't do strenuous exercise in the near future to get the newly grown flesh, he would be intact after half a month, but he would leave a permanent scar. Hearing Lang Zhong personally say that his injuries had recovered, he was very happy that he could finally go home after so many days in bed.
Early the next morning, Yang Congyi thanked everyone in Lotus Village and thanked them again and again for their meticulous care these days.
Bidding farewell to everyone in Lotus Village, Yang Congyi quickly returned to the county seat with the murder weapons of the gang of bandits who caught Kuai and Tianzhu Mountain.
Back in the city, Yang Congyi went straight to the yamen to report the situation to Chen Zhixian.
After listening to what Yang Congyi said, Chen Zhixian said with concern, "It's good to come back, how is your injury?" ”
Yang Congyi said, "Lord Xie cares and has fully recovered. ”
Chen Zhixian said, "I have reported the situation you inquired about some time ago, and Lord Li's reply still needs to be verified, and he has already sent someone to investigate, and I believe there will be news soon." Can you bring back the corpse of the slain of the bandit? ”
Yang Congyi said, "At that time, my subordinates were seriously injured, and the villagers of Lianhua Village took me down the mountain to treat my injuries first, and when they went up the mountain the next day to bury the villagers killed by the bandits, the bandits in the wild were gone, and only traces of dragging the corpses were left in the snow, according to the villagers, there were many beasts on the mountain, and the heavy snow closed the mountain for more than a month, and they must have been dragged to eat by the beasts that were dying of starvation, because it was the corpse of the bandits, they did not go to find the bones." However, we brought back the murder weapon of the bandit, which was a heavy big knife with eight characters engraved on it, Tianzhu Mountain, Five Tigers and Oxen Reaching the Sky. ”
Chen Zhixian said, "Okay, it's good to have evidence." You go back and rest first, and I will send someone to present the murder weapon to Huaining. ”
Chen Zhixian was not in a good mood, Yang Congyi could naturally detect it, and he also wanted to rest for a few days, so he quickly left and went home to rest.
