Chapter 35 The Tian Brothers

Luda hugged the injured boy, the boy's brother followed behind Luda, the three of them ran out of about five or six miles in one breath, and saw that there was no one chasing after him, so Luda put the boy he was holding in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, and pinched his Renzhong with his hand, the boy opened his idle eyes, glanced at Luda and his brother standing in front of him, wow, and cried loudly.

The young man's brother squatted down and comforted him with tears in his eyes: "Second brother, don't cry, let's go home, let's go home." ”

The injured young man cried: "Big brother, how can we go back, the skin is gone, and we haven't earned any money, what can we do to treat the third brother." Then he began to cry again.

Ruda also squatted down and said to the injured boy: "Little brother, don't cry, let's go home first." ”

Ruda said to the young man's brother, "Little brother, you better go home first, so as not to worry about the people in the family." ”

The young man asked Ruda, "What about you, big brother, where are you going?" ”

Luda said: "I have to go back to the city to find the horse, just now I had to run for my life, and the horse forgot to lead." ”

As he spoke, he heard a familiar roar in the distance, and Ruda looked up to see that his silver dragon horse was running towards him like a meteor.

Ruda happily greeted him, and the silver dragon horse ran to Ruda's side, happily putting his face on Ruda's face and rubbing it affectionately.

Ruda led the horse to the shade of the tree and said to the two boys, "Go! Send you two home. ”

The elder brother said to Ruda: "Thank you eldest brother for coming to the rescue, I will no longer bother my eldest brother to send him off when the road is far away." ”

Ruda said: "Since the road is far away, how can you get your injured brother home alone." ”

The young man stood up and saluted Ruda, "Then bother the eldest brother." ”

Luda said: "What is not tired, little brother, don't be polite." ”

As he spoke, Ruda helped the injured young man onto his horse and said, "Little brother, sit tight, we are on our way." ”

On the way, the boy tells Ruda about the origin of the two brothers.

One of these little brothers is called Tian Hu and the other is Tian Leopard, and they live in a small mountain village called Tianjiagang, which is more than 80 miles away from Qinyuan City, and there are only six or seven households.

It belongs to the Luliang Mountains, the land is barren, only wild grasses grow, not crops, so Tian Hu and they are all generations, cutting firewood and collecting medicine; Hunting for a living, as the saying goes: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft water, do not rely on the mountains, do not rely on the water to do business, go south and run north.

Although life in the mountains is difficult, because it is relatively closed, there is no government urging donations, tax tolerance and harassment, and Tian Hu and his family live a happy life.

Tian Hu's father went to the mountains to collect medicine when Tian Hu was six years old, and accidentally fell off a cliff and died. Leaving Tian Hu's mother, as well as the three-year-old second brother Tian, and a third brother Tian Leopard who crawled in his mother's arms to be fed and was not yet alive, her husband died and the three children were still young, and her mother held Tian Biao, who was hungry and crying, and looked at Tian Hu with a sad face, she really wanted to cry without tears and despair.

Xiao Tianhu, who seemed to have grown up overnight, straightened his chest and said to his mother: "Mother, don't be sad, isn't there still me when my father dies, I have grown up and am already a man."

A man must take on the obligation to provide for his family.

A man must take on the heavy responsibility of establishing a household.

Since then, the six-year-old Tian Hu has been alone in the mountains, cutting wood, collecting medicine, digging pits, and hunting pheasants, hares and other small animals and birds to maintain the survival of a family of four.

Gradually, with the transfer of the sun and the moon, Tian Leopard and Tian Biao also grew up, and they could go up the mountain with their eldest brother to hunt and collect medicine.

In the hard work of the brothers, with the joint efforts of the revolution and the desperate and desperate efforts, they struggled out of the difficult situation of survival, and entered a quiet life with warm clothes and overnight food, and their mother's heart torn apart by suffering became more and more reunited, and their haggard faces gradually had a healthy luster.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, who would have thought that at the moment when they were full of hope and confidence in life, a sudden disaster would push the family, which had just recovered from suffering, into the deep pit of disaster.

Their ten-year-old little brother Tian Leopard was bitten on the calf by something I don't know what was going up the mountain to collect medicine, first the bite site was red, swollen and itchy, and then the thigh was also swollen, and then half of the body was numb, lying on the kang and unable to get off the ground.

In the wilderness of the mountain village, there is no doctor, they can only pick herbs and use their own herbs to treat the injury, but after eating herbs for more than ten days, the condition not only did not improve, but worsened.

Tian Hu and Tian Biao had no choice but to bear the animal skins they had accumulated on weekdays, and drove dozens of miles of mountain roads overnight to the market in Qinyuan City, wanting to exchange the animal skins for a few taels of silver, and ask a good man to treat their poor brother in the city, but they ran into Gou Jingjun's forced apportionment of the sitting tiger......

Luda led the horse, carrying the injured Tian Biao on the horse's back, Tian Hu followed behind, they walked, talking at the same time, and when they walked to the west mountain, they saw the village where Tian Hu's house was located - Tianjiagang.

Tianjiagang is located on the sunny slope of the hillside, and there are five or six households scattered on the hillside, all of which are thatched houses built with mud and grass swallow nests, which can only shelter from the wind and rain.

There was still a long way to go from the village, and a few hunting dogs standing on the hillside saw Tian Hu and them, and ran over with joy, and when they heard the barking of the hunting dogs, a thin middle-aged woman walked out of a thatched house in the west of the village, and looked in the direction where Luda and them came from with their hands blocking the sunlight.

Tian Hu pointed to the family and said, "Brother Lu, we are home, that is my mother, she must be in a hurry." ”

Tian Hu's mother saw them come back,

greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Son, you're back, have you invited Langzhong!" ”

Tian Hu has not yet answered his mother's question. She saw Tian Biao lying on horseback, and asked in surprise, "Boss, what's wrong with your brother." ”

Tian Hu said: "Let the official of the yamen kick and hurt." ”

When Tian Mu heard this, she exclaimed: "Oh my God, there is one lying on the kang, it's not good, this is another kick and injury, how can I live." Tian Hu hugged her, and shouted in fright: "Mother, mother, wake up, if you are gone, what will we do." ”

Luda said: "Tian Hu, don't worry, hurry up and carry your mother into the house." ”

Tian Hu carried Tian's mother to the kang in the house, and Luda also put down Tian Biao who was in his arms.

Tian Hu looked at the three patients lying in a row on the kang, sighed, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and cried.

Luda squatted down, patted Tian Hu's shoulder with his hand and said, "Brother Tian Hu, now is not the time to be sad, it is important to find a way to treat the disease and save people first." ”

Tian Hu said: "It has reached such a point, what else can be done?" ”

Luda said: "Don't be afraid, as long as people live, they will not reach the point of exhaustion." I've learned the art of Qihuang from others, and if you can trust it, let me try it. ”

At this time, Tian Hu was already in a mess, listening to Luda say this, it seemed like a man in the water grabbed a straw, he grabbed Luda's hand and said: "Then you can do it quickly and rescue him." ”

Luda said: "Okay, then let's start with my aunt." ”

Luda asked Tian Hu to pour a bowl of warm water, then helped Tian Mu up, pinched her Renzhong, Tian Mu opened her mouth slightly, Luda poured water into Tian Mu's mouth, stretched out his hand and patted her back, Tian Mu swallowed the water in a bone, wow, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then cried loudly.

Tian Hu saw that his mother had woken up, and his heart that was hanging in the air was finally put into his stomach, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then Luda looked at Tian Biao, who was kicked and injured by Gou Jingjun's men, and said to Tian Hu: "This little brother is fine, as long as he raises it for a few days, he will be fine." ”

Tian's mother, who woke up, saw that the young man in front of her not only saved herself, but also spoke clearly, knelt down on the kang and said to Luda: "Little brother, please save my third son." ”

Luda stretched out his hand to help her up and said, "Aunt Tian, don't worry, let me take a look at this little brother's condition first." ”

Tian Hu said: "Mother, Brother Lu has already walked for a day, so I have to let the family drink saliva first." ”

Luda said: "Auntie, don't worry and don't get angry, I will do my best, I won't die without help." ”

Luda came to the innermost part of the kang shop, looked at Xiao Tian Leopard, the third elder of the Tian family, who was lying on the hot kang head, and then reached out and touched his forehead, and found that although the fire kang was a little hot, Xiao Tian's body was cold to the touch, and then lifted the quilt to look at the wound on the leg, Luda concluded that this was bitten by the poplar insect.

In the mountainous areas of this area, Yang Lazi insects are everywhere, there are black, red, and green, although they also bite, but they are non-toxic and harmless, only this kind of white Yang Lazi is only the size of soybean grains, all people or beasts, livestock, etc., as long as they are bitten by it, if the treatment measures are not appropriate, nine out of ten will die, and the remaining one will also be bedridden, paralyzed for life,

However, although this insect is poisonous, it is extremely rare, only one in a million of the Yang Lazi can appear in a white Yang Lazi, so that the person it bites is a probability of one in ten million, just like what welfare lottery people buy now, sports lottery, if you want to win a jackpot, it is simply more difficult than ascending to the sky, but there are still people who have won the jackpot.

Tian Hu's brother Xiao Tian Leopard is one of these ten million, of course, it cannot be said that Xiao Tian Leopard is the lucky one, he is just an unfortunate person who is deeply poisoned.
