Chapter 64: The Great Witch Say v. the Divine Doctor
Pang Tong saw this old man for the second time, and the first time he took the liberty of treating her and Xiangyi as bad people. At this moment, facing this old man with a high level of medical skills, the color of shame on his face flushed.
"I'm in trouble."
"Pretty spirited, good."
The old man reached out his long, shriveled finger and tapped at the wound on his left shoulder, poking it twice hard.
"What does it feel?"
"Numbness, a slight tingling, itching sensation inside."
The old man's gaze fell on the heavy wound in his abdomen, and his fingers moved over and tapped it twice. Pang Tong, who had a little cramp on his face, did not shout.
"It should hurt a little."
"Hmm."
At this time, Xiangyi returned. Say said to her, "You can get a sunburn, get some purple powder." ”
Xiangyi smiled with satisfaction at Pang Tong's injury, turned around and left. After a while, she came in with a bamboo basket with gauze and a small purple bottle. She first helped Pang Tong remove the bandage on his shoulder. This time it didn't hurt as much as the previous two times. It can be said that there is almost no pain in the wound. It's just that it was tense before, and after the muscles and skin slackened all of a sudden, there was a little tingling inside. But the exposed wound had healed, like a small round crumpled badge with an irregular inside.
Xiangyi pulled off the cork of the purple bottle wrapped in red cloth, poured some purple powder out of his hand, and then skillfully and quickly applied it to Pang Tong's wound. Pang Tong watched curiously as the slender hand circled his wound with a few dexterous pieces of paper, and the purple powder quickly adhered evenly to the wound like a colored paint.
Say said, "You can get sunburned here, the moisture of the sun god is incomparably wonderful, and the healing in the future will be the blessing of the sun." ”
Pang Tong said with emotion: "I didn't expect the tribes in the mountains to have such medical skills. ”
Say laughed "hehe", wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and lips, and she said, "Our Wasai medicine has been practiced for thousands of years. It's an ancient tribe. We used to not fight with others in the mountains, and other ethnic groups rarely dared to invade us. Our medical skills are all formed through the continuous research of our ancestors. Many people have died of poisonous weeds and poisons because of this, and the price is also heavy. But it can't be said to be our own creation. For a long time, there were clever people in the clan who traveled to other places and brought back some medical skills from the Central Plains, and we integrated them to create our own medical system. But in recent years, the world has been chaotic again, and the outside world, which we have rarely been exposed to, has become stranger, just like there is a devil outside, and no one wants to go out, and they don't want to go out. ”
Pang Tong's heart sank, if he was talking about the devil, then the severity of the bloody battle between the two sides outside Tangping Pass was really a ghost-like breath, blowing here. And he and Dian Wei are the true body of that devil, one of the elements of troubled times and war. Is it my own coming that defiles this place? If you are found to be a person of war, you will be spurned, right?
Some jumbled, inexplicable thoughts fill the brain. Pang Tong shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off those burdens. He raised his voice and said, "I admire your skills. If the people of the Central Plains can come here to study, then more people will benefit. ”
Say's expression became serious, and so did the fragrance on the side. Say said: "Most of the people in the Central Plains are greedy. Their arrival will bring war to the war, and the originally peaceful and peaceful mountain people will be burned in the fire. They won't treat us as equals, the generals of the Han Dynasty, the kings will treat us like livestock, or even like ordinary tools. ”
These words made Pang Tong's scalp tingle when he heard it, and he felt that some princes did such things. Admittedly, sometimes it's good not to have contact with the outside world, but closing the door doesn't mean that the outside world won't infiltrate. He and Dian Wei are a good example. But talking about these issues seems to stiffen the atmosphere. Pang Tong asked about his injuries.
"I'm going to be fine soon, right?"
Say said: "It's relatively smooth, I'll come back in seven days." She got up and walked away. Xiangyi hesitated for a while, she still wanted to sit for a while, although she didn't know what to say, but she just didn't want to leave. Say noticed it, and she opened the curtain and sighed softly, "Can there be a lover outside?" ”
Pang Tong trembled when he heard this, and when he saw Xiangyi's face, he immediately turned crimson. The girl dismissed the idea of chatting a little longer, picked up the basket and left. The old man's metaphor had already run through the thoughts of the two. She already knew the girl's thoughts, and that look and anticipation had long been put on her face. Perhaps the girl herself did not know the meaning of this feeling, nor did she know the truth of the matter of feelings, but acted on the wildest instinct. Pang Tong is not a Mu Ne person, he has already experienced that meticulous care and gentleness.
But he already had two wives, he thought.
The girl in front of her was still a little girl, and she was the daughter of the patriarch. If she said that she had a wife, the girl would have dispelled her ignorance. Pang Tong nodded involuntarily, but he also had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't let go of girls. He looked out the window, the sight that was impossible to see while lying down. On the opposite side was a cylindrical wooden house, surrounded by some towering trees, and some black-clothed people in the same costume as Xiangyi walked around, most of them with dark skin.
He whispered: "Love is love, love is true to love, and amorous people are also love." People are not sages, let alone plants. Is Frost okay? Will Ying'er help Shuang'er with something? ”
Five days later, Xiang Che, who took a newly made **** wooden cane with a pale yellow surface, stood beside Pang Tong. Pang Tong stood up with the help of Xiang Che, whose head was at the same level as his chest, and he took the cane and clubbed it with his left hand. Only the left side of the body does not involve the muscle groups in the right abdomen. He took two steps smoothly, and Xiangche carefully maintained the posture of stepping forward to support him at any moment, watching him continue to walk step by step, the crooked crutches that held the handle horizontally and made a "beep" sound on the ground. Pang Tong's right hand was clenched on the edge of the window, and half of the whole person's body leaned out, took a deep breath violently, and slowly exhaled. Outside, there are many cylindrical rooms, but they are all supported by wooden pillars that support the structure of the house, and the floor is about three feet above the ground, which is a unique design that helps the floor not to be soaked in water on rainy days. A wooden staircase connects the doorway to the ground floor.
Several **** children with upper bodies gathered around as if they had seen strange animals, keeping a certain distance and looking at Pang Tong, with a look of fear and curiosity in their eyes. Pang Tong smiled at them, and a little fat man with a round head spat at Pang Tong among the children, showing no good intentions. Then came Katochi, who poked his head out of the window and screamed at the children: "Bastard, who are you spitting at!" ”
The children were so frightened that they screamed and fled. It can be seen that everyone is more scared when they see Xiangche, even if there are some children who are older than Xiangche, they are all his subordinates. When a woman passed by the window with a bamboo basket in her hand, she glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, and happened to look at Pang Tong.
"Oops!"
The woman did not seem to expect that there would be anyone standing at this window, and she was so frightened and ashamed that she fled as if she were being chased by a swarm of bees.
"Well, don't worry about this. After all, it's very strange to people outside. When the mountain bear came, some adults were still more repulsive, and after a long time, everyone's relationship was very good. By the way, don't talk to Badar if you run into him. ”
Pang Tong looked at the scenery in front of him, no matter how much wooden house seemed to have a few tall chestnut trees on the side, the houses were not very close to each other. Pang Tong didn't care about Xiangche's words just now, he said casually: "Let's go, take me out for a walk twice." ”
"Can you do it?" Xiang Che asked in surprise, worried in his heart, and said, "If I fall or the wound is cracked, I will be unlucky, and you will be responsible." ”
Pang Tong moved his body and turned around with his cane, and said with a smile: "I know, I'm responsible for myself." ”
"That's fine."
Xiang Che opened the curtain, Pang Tong walked slowly and carefully, and Xiang Che, who was holding him with his hand at the door, tensed his nerves, and it seemed that he would have to step on a very long staircase step by step. But when the last legs and cane landed on the soft dirt, Xiangche was relieved.
