Chapter 10 Problem solving
Whoop! Whoop! The rooster outside the window woke up on time again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Tang Xu turned over lazily, not wanting to open his eyes, but he bounced up from the bed in the next second.
"Is this heaven?" Tang Xu looked at the ceiling, there was an eye-like pattern there, there was no angry eyes, but it was very majestic. Liu Lao Wu said that it was born from a century-old tree, symbolizing strength, which was very rare, so it was used in Tang Xu's room when renovating the house. The old people in the village said that when people die, their souls will awaken in the places they miss most. He looked around again, this was indeed Liu Lao Wu's home. Tang Xu closed his eyes again, afraid that he would really see the souls of the people of Liujia Village here.
"Big brother, are you awake?" Tang Xu heard the sound of pushing the door, and then smelled the aroma of food.
"Fifth sister-in-law?" Tang Xu saw the smiling Fifth Sister-in-law Liu, and was inexplicably sad.
"I'm dead?" Tang Xu plucked up the courage to ask this sentence.
"It's just a little bit." The sorrow and distress on Liu Wu's sister-in-law's face replaced a smile, but then she touched Tang Xu's head again and smiled very comfortingly.
Liu Wu's sister-in-law told Tang Xu that the wolves attacked the village again last night, but fortunately, no one was injured. When everyone calmed down, they found that Tang Xu didn't know where to go. So the whole village risked their lives to look around, and finally found Tang Xu unconscious at the foot of the mountain. Liu Lao Wu said that there were wolf pack activities here, but Tang Xu was safe and sound, and it seemed that the wolves did not harm Tang Xu. After carrying Tang Xu back to the village, Liu Lao Wu kept saying that Tang Xu was really not a mortal, and even wolves were afraid of him.
Tang Xu ate the food brought by Liu Wu's sister-in-law, did not speak, and kept thinking about all this that happened. Liu Wu's sister-in-law only thought that he was tired, and did not urge him, and left with peace of mind when she saw that he was doing well.
"What the hell is going on?" Tang Xu was overwhelmed by this sentence in his heart, as a science student, although he was not particularly good at science, Tang Xu had a heart to pursue truth and logic. But one after another things that made no sense made him feel broken. He remembered a movie "Truman's World" he watched a long time ago, and now he is like that poor man, arranged and dragged by others, although he did not suffer much, and even got a lot of things that made him happy. But all this happened beyond his control, and this sense of powerlessness made Tang Xu very helpless and angry.
"It's not fun at all, it's better to let a thunderbolt kill me!" Tang Xu said indignantly, I really can't wait for some natural and man-made disaster to make me die, so that I don't have to be controlled anymore. As soon as he finished speaking, the house suddenly shook violently, and Tang Xu was so frightened that he ran out of the house, and was running out barefoot when he bumped into Liu Laowu. The houses in the village are crumbling, adults and children are terrified, and some are kneeling on the ground and begging for the Bodhisattva's protection.
"Damn, is it an earthquake?" Tang Xu was afraid that someone would be hurt, so he also knelt on the ground and prayed. After a while, the tremor really disappeared. When the crisis passed, everyone was terrified and didn't dare to go back, and they gathered around to talk about it.
āćććā Tang Xu felt a little strange in his heart, and felt that his thoughts were too strange, but it was difficult to suppress the doubts in his heart. He slowly walked towards a man, who was blind, and it is said that not long after he was born, he had a serious illness and could no longer see, and lived in the dark for most of his life, but his personality was very cheerful, and everyone sympathized with him.
"Big brother, what are you going to do?" Liu Lao Wu followed Tang Xu over to take a look.
"Uncle Wang's eyes." Tang Xu didn't know how to speak, saying that I might be able to cure him? If you can't cure it, won't you be like a fool? If it is cured, for no reason, will it be regarded as a monster by everyone again?
"Hey, it's not that you don't know, you've been blind for many years, and I'm afraid there is no hope in this life." Liu Lao Wu sighed.
"Do you have a way to cure it?" Liu Lao Wu didn't know where he had a flash of inspiration, which startled Tang Xu. But Liu Lao Wu felt that Tang Xu was not a mortal, and if he wanted to say it, it was not impossible to be cured.
"I... Try it. Tang Xu was very grateful to Liu Lao Wu for setting up a step for himself, but he regretted it a little when he said it, if he didn't succeed, would Liu Lao Wu be disappointed?
"Good! Good! Liu Lao Wu was very excited, and immediately went to find Uncle Wang, as if Tang Xu had succeeded. Tang Xu hurriedly grabbed him and told him not to worry, if he was not cured, wouldn't it make people happy in vain. Liu Lao Wu nodded, but he was full of confidence in Tang Xu. He also said that if there is anything you need to help, even if you are instructed, it is absolutely obligatory. Tang Xu casually agreed, he was trying to use some props to perfunctory, otherwise he would really become a monster.
Tang Xu walked around to the foot of the mountain, thinking that it would be good to just pull some grass and mash it and deceive them into medicinal herbs, anyway, it is non-toxic and has no side effects. Having made up his mind, he began to look for the mandala again, which could not be ignored, and he did not know how effective the medicine was, so he had to catch a small animal and test it first. When the sun was about to set, Tang Xu found the mandala, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as on TV, he squatted for almost an hour, and caught a little fox, which looked very cute, hoping that the anesthetic would not hurt it.
Tang Xu returned to Liu Lao Wu's house, and went to the room to make a fuss without taking care of eating, Liu Lao Wu knew that he was going to do something big, and he didn't dare to disturb, but he just came over to take a look from time to time, wanting to see if there was anything he could help with.
Tang Xu crushed the mandala flowers he picked with a stone and wiped them on the little fox's mouth. The little fox struggled to bite him, but it didn't take long for his mouth to open and he couldn't close it, and his tongue drooped down and drooled, looking very uncomfortable. Tang Xu was overjoyed, it seemed that the anesthetic was effective, but he was not at ease, so he was ruthless, took a knife and made a half-centimeter small cut on the little fox's leg, and wiped some juice. The little fox was in pain, although his mouth couldn't be closed, but his body struggled even more, such a cute thing was so tossed by himself, Tang Xu was very distressed, but for the sake of Liujiacun, he had to stand it. Time passed minute by minute, and the little fox's struggle became lighter and lighter, until it completely lost consciousness, Tang Xu was afraid that it would be killed by himself, so he didn't dare to move anything, and waited quietly. I don't know how long it took, the little fox moved, and after a stick of incense, the little guy fully recovered his mobility, this time Tang Xu didn't stop it, and gave it the meat of his dinner, but the little fox didn't appreciate it, and just fled quickly.
"Fifth brother!!" Tang Xu ran to the door and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Liu Lao Wu was frightened, and thought something was wrong, so he hurried over.
"Come up the hill with me, I know how to deal with the wolves." Tang Xu grabbed a coat and ran out, Liu Lao Wu was confused, but when he heard the word wolf, he knew that it was not trivial, so he hurried to follow.
"Pick it all back." Tang Xu ran to the bottom of the big tree in one go, and started picking flowers without waiting for a breath.
"Don't move! These are poisonous! Liu Lao Wu stopped him anxiously.
"It's okay, these only have the effect of paralyzing nerves, and they can't kill people." Tang Xu gently cut off the roots of the flowers with a knife, and wrapped the beautiful flowers into the clothes he brought.
"Okay." Liu Lao Wu didn't understand what Tang Xu meant, but now he thought that what Tang Xu did made sense, so he also picked up flowers.
"Alright, let's go back." The two of them worked hard for a long time, picking not a single mandala flower under the tree, looking at the bulging bag of loot, Tang Xu was full of confidence.
"How do I use this?" Liu Lao Wu still didn't understand, and he didn't dare to ask too much to annoy Tang Xu, but he was still quite curious after enduring it for a long time.
"Fifth brother, how is your archery skills? Can you shoot a wolf? Tang Xu asked.
"Of course you can, it's just that the wolf is too strong, unless you shoot the wolf's heart, you can't die." Liu Lao Wu thought that Tang Xu was just letting himself shoot the wolves, and he was a little disappointed.
"As long as you can shoot." Tang Xu had the bottom in his heart and told Liu Lao Wu about his plan.
"Can this thing really take down a wolf?" Liu Lao Wu was also happy, but he was very skeptical that these little flowers really had such a big effect.
"I think it's okay, I just used a little bit of it, and a little fox can't move. We have so many flowers now, apply a little more, even if we overdose and kill the wolf, we don't feel distressed, you say. Tang Xu continued.
"That's right! There are also a few people in the village who can also shoot arrows, and if they practice more, they may also come in handy. Liu Lao Wu took the reassuring pill and became energetic.
When Liu Lao Wuyi returned to the village, he called everyone to talk about the wolf fight, and the villagers almost all believed Tang Xu's words, even if there were a few hesitants, Liu Lao Wu listened to the arrangement obediently. Farming during the day, making arrows at night, practicing shooting, and others who don't know how to use bows and arrows are also provided with knives for self-defense. Tang Xu is specifically responsible for refining the numbing juice. A village, all the people are soldiers in an instant, in a trance, he has a feeling of playing games before. The wolves are ghostly, they haven't come to make trouble this time, Tang Xu is not in a hurry, anyway, he is ready, just wait for the opportunity to start a war.
During this period, Tang Xu also wanted to try if he could treat Uncle Wang's eyes, but he felt that he had been worried about the wolves recently, and he was a little restless, afraid that it would affect the treatment effect. And it's ridiculous to think about, how can there really be such a mysterious thing in this world? Fortunately, Liu Lao Wu was also bent on organizing the villagers to kill wolves, and he didn't have the time to ask him anything else, so Tang Xu put this matter aside for the time being.
