Chapter 35: The Way of the Demons
"Take the herbs well, one in the morning and one in the evening, fry them with a simmer, fry them in three bowls of water, and drink them for three days in a row to be cured!" Xiao Yi was in charge of prescribing prescriptions and catching medicines, and Zhao Yanran was translating on the side, and the two had already cooperated quite tacitly in a few days.
There is no way that there are too few grassland people who can speak Chinese, if they open their mouths to speak Chinese, it is estimated that there will be a few sentences: "The Han people surrender, hand over the grain, girl, iron pot, carry away!" "If you hear this, it is estimated that Xiao Yi will add a handful of broken intestine grass to their herbs, and it is men, women, and children, regardless of gender, and double the dose when encountering nobles!
Therefore, sometimes there is a language barrier, but it is a good thing Xiao Yi smiled and delivered medicine, and the herdsmen used body language such as smiling, bowing, and kneeling to express their reverence for the divine doctor, which allowed the two sides to temporarily coexist peacefully and amicably.
This kind of role of healing and saving people, Xiao Yi adapts quickly, and his heart is very full and happy; Sometimes Xiao Yi also thinks that if there were no Hun soldiers attacking Crouching Tiger Pavilion at the beginning, and there was no fire later, then at this moment, he should still follow the old Taoist master to practice medicine and donate medicine, and be a happy little Taoist priest!
It's a pity that fate did not let him live a quiet and inactive life, but pushed him step by step to the forefront of the world; However, Xiao Yi still likes his current life very much, and he already has a bit of a fake show, I have to admit that this saving people is more comfortable than killing people, and the hand holding the knife is equally calm when decoctioning the medicine, but Xiao Yi knows that there has been a bloodthirsty beast sleeping in his heart, and now this beast is just dozing off, once it wakes up, it will devour more blood and undead, this is the destiny of heaven, and no one can change it!
Although it is free to treat the herdsmen, but no one will really come empty-handed, isn't that disrespectful to the miracle doctor, or a few fat sheep, or a strong cow, even if it is a poor herdsman, will also put on a few dry lazy people to bring over, the fat of this thing boiled out, but it is a very good medicinal material, it has a miraculous effect on burns!
The little milk babies don't have to graze anymore, they follow Xiao Yi every day to learn how to distinguish, collect medicinal materials, how to dry and make, and they are all very serious, because they are learning from the fairy brother and expelling the disease!
No matter what their fate will be in the future, with this skill, there will always be a way to live, and Xiao Yi has vaguely already had an idea, that is, to set up a special medical team, which will greatly reduce the number of casualties on the battlefield, those warriors who went into battle to fight, did not die in front of the battle, but died of injuries and diseases, isn't it a pity?
In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to seek medical treatment, but they are all poor people, tribal chiefs and other characters have not yet appeared, as for Xiao Yi's target person, there is no trace at all, but he is not in a hurry, the **** Taizu of later generations said, 'From the bottom up, the countryside surrounds the city', as long as the herdsmen at the bottom believe in themselves, those nobles will appear sooner or later, because there is one thing that is the same for both nobles and poor people, that is, they will all get sick, and if they are sick, they will find a doctor, and then Xiao Yi's opportunity will come.
At the same time as the 'divine doctor' is famous, Zhao Yanran's name of 'goddess' is also spread everywhere on the grassland, and in terms of proximity to the people, it is still above Xiao Yi, although it is Xiao Yi who is responsible for seeing a doctor, and it is also Xiao Yi who is affected by staying up all night to take medicine, but don't forget, it is the county lord of Yanran who goes to deliver the medicine, and the person who works is not as good as the one who sells his face, who calls the person a beautiful woman with a national color and fragrance, and it is naturally more popular than Xiao Yi's little black face;
At least that's what Lord Yanran thinks, and more than once invited Xiao Yi to visit her tent at night, and the two of them discussed the topic of divinity together, such as how did God create man? Since God can, then wouldn't the 'Divine Doctor' and the 'Divine Woman' also try to create it......
After wiping off the nosebleed, Xiao Yi once again politely refused the warm invitation of the county lord of Yanran, or chose to sleep alone, talking This Hun female horse thief seems to have 'inner charm', the more she looks at it, the more beautiful she becomes, so that he always has accelerated blood flow, and it has gushed several times, making his little face pale, and he doesn't know that he thinks he is overworked, and he strongly persuades him to rest more......
What a vixen! Now if Xiao Yi wants to refuse her ruthlessly, he has to twist his thighs several times; I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it one day!
Zhao Yanran seemed to know this, and her eyes became more and more tender, especially when she saw Xiao Yi biting her back molars and twisting her thighs, she would secretly laugh, just like a cunning little fox waiting for the grapes to ripen, as long as the season comes, the grapes will always ripen, so she is not in a hurry!
Lying on the sheepskin mattress, Xiao Yi didn't feel sleepy at all, and countless things echoed in his mind, "How is your Xuanjia Army?" When will the Xiongnu court blow the horn of gathering troops? What happened to Zhen Mi's caravan? Are you in danger? …… What happened to the court in Luoyang? Did Dong Zhuo kill the courtiers, what happened to the harem, and the princess Haiyan, does she still remember herself? ……”
Sleepless all night, all kinds of troubles haunt my heart, and I want to sleep well in the future, it's difficult!
………………………………………………………………………………………………
The next morning, as soon as the door of the yurt was opened, I saw a long queue of people lined up outside, dense, and could not see the edge at a glance, it seemed that many people came last night, just afraid of disturbing the rest of the divine doctor, so they honestly waited outside, and even the mouths of their mounts were tied up with cowhide ropes, and many people were still kneeling and praying to the big black cauldron that was used for boiling medicine, and they were very pious, because in the eyes of the herdsmen, this is a divine cauldron, which can boil out the holy medicine for healing injuries and diseases, and must be worshipped. No wonder the grassland has always been a sacred place for the spread of religion!
In fact, most of the diseases of the people on the grassland are divided into two categories, one is eaten, the food is too single, and it is mainly meat and milk, and there is a serious lack of vegetables, which causes the general gastrointestinal discomfort of the grassland people, the heat is terrible, and the most important point is night blindness; Xiao Yat found that night blindness is very common here, at least six or seven out of ten herders cannot see at night, and the rest also have visual impairment, which is caused by a long-term lack of vitamins.
But the steppe people don't have this understanding, the wizards think that they can't see things at night, that's because there is a 'Night Lord' who has taken away their light, and only by waiting for the sun god to come out can they crack the mana of the 'Night Demon King', in this regard, Xiao Yi also nodded frequently, thinking that the wizards' opinions are very right and reasonable, "Night blindness, it's just great, this must be firmly remembered, if you take advantage of this in the future when you are at war with the Huns, launch a large-scale night attack, hehe......"
Another type of injury of the steppe people is the red wound, that is, the war wound, in order to compete for the pasture, the water source, the Xiongnu tribes are not only infighting, but also developed the tradition of blood revenge, a person is killed, relatives must be washed in blood, with the head of the enemy to sacrifice the dead, otherwise the dead can not ascend to heaven; As a result, the hatred between two people often develops into two families, and the fight between two tribes will not stop bleeding!
This situation also happened from time to time during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Central Plains Dynasty and the Warring States Period, 'Qi Xianggong reverted to the hatred of the Ninth Emperor, and the Spring and Autumn Period was great! Even the blood feud of nine generations ago had to be avenged, and it also won the unanimous support of public opinion, which shows the prevailing atmosphere of revenge at that time; Fortunately, later the Legalists produced an immortal genius --- Shang Ying, who formulated strict laws to punish blood feuds and internal strife within the country, so that the Qin people had the courage to fight abroad, and were cowardly in private fights, which greatly strengthened the country's combat power.
Only by uniting can we be invincible, and the same is true for ancient and modern China and foreign countries!
In this way, while treating the herdsmen, Xiao Yi took the opportunity to collect a lot of information, if you want to understand the grassland people, you have to make a comprehensive study of his region, customs, food, culture, etc., this is 'knowing the other', adjusting one's internal situation according to these, this is 'knowing oneself';
On the one hand, he is saving the dead and helping the wounded on the grassland with a kind face, and on the other hand, he is secretly sharpening the butcher knife in his hand, this is what a demon does!
