Chapter 10: A Terrible Wind Chill
The sunlight spilled into the room through the cracks, the chill receded, and the room gradually rose a little warmth.
Ye Gucheng stretched his waist and got up slowly, only then did he notice that Xuanyuan Xiu was still asleep! Perhaps because of the injury, the other party did not wake up for the first time, and according to the past, he had already jumped out of the door to work.
But he prefers this kind of Xuanyuan show, girls should rest more! Stroking the pale pretty face, his eyes flashed a trace of distress, as if he had made a decision, his expression froze, helped him cover the animal skin quilt, and carefully went out.
The village during the day is not as warm as the cold wind at night, but it is also warm and pleasant.
On the beach, two figures are opposed, wooden shields and long sticks, all armed.
Ye Gucheng looked very struggling, and on his left arm, which he was trying to hold high, was a thick wooden shield, perhaps because it was too heavy, his arm was very sore. In his right hand, he held a wooden stick, which was so long that he could barely balance it.
"Ye Gongzi, are you sure you really want to become a warrior?" Xuanyuan Bu was a little unsure, just one glance, he was very sure that Ye Gucheng was not a warrior's material.
"Come on!" Ye Gucheng gritted his teeth and made a defensive posture.
Xuanyuan Bu was not verbose, and the wooden shield on his left arm blocked forward, rushing towards it like a beast.
Bang!!!
Although Ye Gucheng had been prepared, in the face of the strong impact, he still flew high like a kite with a broken string, and his shield fell off his hand. But it didn't end there! The long stick burst into the air, stabbing him in the chest in his shocked pupils.
Bang!!!
I saw Ye Gucheng fall quickly on the beach, because of the extreme pain, the whole person shrank quickly like a shrimp.
Pain, pain, pain!
Your mother!
It's painful to die!
The position of being poked by the wooden stick was like a pinprick stinging, even if he covered his chest desperately, he still couldn't stop the spreading pain, he was covered in cold sweat, his head could no longer think clearly, and his eyes were very blurry.
This is the killing move of the Xuanyuan warrior! Shield collision, spear pursuit, no fancy, pure pursuit of power one blow kill! However, to do this, one needs an exceptionally strong physique, even if it is as strong as Xuanyuan Bu, it is still not a qualified warrior, let alone Ye Gucheng's thin body!
Obviously, Xuanyuan Bu was also taken aback, and he was so merciless in his previous training, because the warrior has always grown up in pain, but he forgot that he was only facing a weak wise man, and this stick went down, it seemed that the injury was not light!
"Come again!" Ye Gucheng stood up at some point, although his face was pale and his body trembled slightly, he still stubbornly walked towards the falling wooden shield.
"Why?" Xuanyuan Bu really didn't understand, what was the other party insisting on? Isn't the wise man more powerful than the warrior?
Why!
If one day, when you can only tolerate one figure in your heart and eyes!
When one day, you desperately want to become strong and protect someone!
You, naturally, will understand why!
This is Ye Gucheng's heart! And his heart, he doesn't want people to know.
Roar, and then open the curtain of training!
It's a pity that he is too weak after all! No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to become a qualified warrior! He can only wail in pain again and again, and be devastated again and again in vain! Perhaps, he himself can't tell whether this persistence is to become stronger, or just to let the pain forget the pain of his own weakness!
Sighing lightly, Xuanyuan Zhuo slowly withdrew his gaze, looking blankly at the sky, the sun, I don't know when it disappeared into the clouds, gloomy, began to envelop the whole land, the cold has arrived!
When Ye Gucheng returned to the house with a food plate and dragged his scarred body, it was already noon! The shortage of food could not allow the villagers to really have a full meal, and now the food was divided according to the head, and each person could only get a little bit of each meal, barely satisfied. But even so, it still can't last long, just now the patriarch has already discussed with him, planning to shorten the number of meals, maintain the previous one-meal-a-day system, and look forward to getting through this crisis as soon as possible!
Very unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Xiu hadn't woken up yet, and his face was a little paler than before, if he hadn't seen that the wound had improved, Ye Gucheng was really worried that he was infected.
Speaking of which, he had to admire the healing herbs of this world, it was really amazing, the wound that was so terrifying and hideous yesterday looked like it was already scarring today.
Ahem!
The sleeping person coughed a few times involuntarily, successfully attracting Ye Gucheng's attention.
"Xiu'er, come, eat!" If you can, Ye Gucheng doesn't want to wake up Xuanyuan Xiu like this, but he didn't eat breakfast, and he couldn't skip lunch, which is not conducive to recuperation!
Xuanyuan Xiu is worthy of being a foodie, as soon as he heard that there was something to eat, he tried his best to open his eyes, but after seeing the food on the plate, he said with a little disappointment: "Why is there no grilled fish?"
This stupid girl! Probably sick and confused! I haven't been out to sea for many days! Where is there any grilled fish! Immediately, Ye Gucheng coaxed very dotingly: "Xiu'er! You are still recuperating from your injuries, you can't eat grilled fish, this is not good for your wounds! When you get better, I will make you a lot of grilled fish to eat." ”
"Really! You can't lie to me. Now Xuanyuan Xiu is much happier, and even his spirit has improved.
"Okay, good, I don't lie to you. Ye Gucheng looked at the gluttonous statue in front of him with amusement, and sent the food in the wooden spoon to the other party's mouth. Maybe the action is too big and affects the injuries on the body, and the brows can't help frowning.
As if thinking of something, Xuanyuan Xiu swallowed the food in his mouth and turned his head to look at Ye Gucheng. "Ye Gongzi, have you eaten?"
"Silly girl, I'm sure I'll eat it!, otherwise how can I feed you?" Ye Gucheng smiled helplessly.
Xuanyuan Xiu relieved her heart and continued to enjoy the pampering feeding, but unfortunately, she didn't notice that behind her, Ye Gucheng was secretly swallowing saliva and enduring hunger!
This year's cold seems to be more intense than usual, although the real winter is yet to come!
Of course, Xuanyuan Zhuo's biggest concern at the moment is not the cold, but the people who are infected with the wind cold.
Once you get caught by the wind cold, there are only two results, either you will recover naturally, or your condition will deepen until you die! The most terrible thing is that if the people of the severe wind cold do not deal with it in time, it will cause the plague, and there was once a family that was wiped out because of the plague caused by the wind cold!
Xuanyuan Excellence naturally does not allow such a thing to happen in the clan, and every year there are always clansmen who die due to aggravated illness. It's just that there are as many as 10 clansmen suffering from wind and cold now, and even Xuanyuan Xiu is not immune!
"Patriarch! It was Xuanyuan Bu who spoke, followed by a few strong men, but everyone's expressions were silent.
With a sigh, Xuanyuan Zhuo slowly walked towards Xuanyuan Xiu's thatched house.
"Xiu'er, what's wrong with you!Wake up! Oops, your forehead is so hot, you really catch a cold!"
Actually, he felt that something was wrong last night, Xuanyuan Xiu had been coughing last night, but as a modern person, he didn't pay too much attention to this kind of small problem, plus it was late and cold, there was no pharmacy in the village, and he was bent on waiting for dawn to find the patriarch to ask for medicine.
Xuanyuan Xiu was in pain, Xiu's eyes were closed, as if she was enduring indescribable torment! Her lips were dry, her face was pale, and cold sweat had been oozing from her forehead. Maybe it's too painful and can't help but get up. It was precisely this ** that successfully woke up Ye Gucheng!
Ye Gucheng has a lot of experience in treating colds, and most of them choose not to take medicine to resist hard, after all, it is a three-point poison, and it is always not good to eat too much! Of course, he can't be so ruthless when he treats his beloved woman! Immediately, he hurriedly wrapped Xuanyuan Xiu tightly with animal skins, covering the heat, which is also the most effective way to treat colds, of course, this alone is not enough! Immediately, he quickly got out of bed, opened the door and was about to rush out, when he saw the patriarch standing in front of him.
"How is Xiu'er?" Without the other party answering, Xuanyuan Zhuo clearly saw the tortured person lying on the bed, and his eyes couldn't help but become gloomy.
"It's nothing, it's just a cold!" Speaking of this, Ye Gucheng hurriedly asked, "Patriarch, where do you put the herbs for treating colds?" I'll go get some for Xiu'er to eat." ”
Xuanyuan Zhuo didn't understand the word cold, but according to his thoughts, it should refer to the wind cold! Immediately, he smiled bitterly: "Ye Gongzi, there is no cure for the wind cold, and you can only rely on your own will to survive." ”
No way?
So backward?
Even serious injuries and bleeding can be treated, why is there no herb to treat colds?
However, a cold is not a big problem, even if there is no medicine! Slightly stunned, Ye Gucheng said nonchalantly: "Forget it if you don't have it, it's not a big problem, I have a way, please trouble the patriarch to take care of Xiu'er, I'll come when I go." ”
What the?
Can Ye Gongzi cure wind and cold?
Xuanyuan Zhuo was shocked, and a glimmer of hope gradually ignited in his heart, yes! Ye Gucheng is the Destiny of Heaven, perhaps, he can really cure the wind and cold and save the clansmen!
Everyone was very interested in how Ye Gucheng was going to treat the wind and cold, and there were soon more than a dozen strong men stuffed in the small thatched house.
Ye Gucheng's method is actually very simple, that is, to use the animal skin to be thickly superimposed to cover the heat, then boil a basin of warm water to wipe the body to cool down, and finally use the point to knead the Fengchi acupoint, which is located at the lower edge of the occipital bone at the back of the neck, about two fingers wide from the left and right ears. Rub dozens of times with the thumbs of both hands, this massage method was taught to him by his grandfather, and the effect is not bad! Unfortunately, this time it completely failed!
The temperature on Xuanyuanxiu's forehead was getting higher and higher, cold sweat was dripping, his expression was extremely painful, and under the frowning brows, there were a pair of eyes that tried hard to open but could never open them!
What can I do?
Ye Gucheng is really anxious now! There is no medicine, how to treat a severe cold? No, you can't just sit and wait, get some warm water to wipe it, even if it can relieve Xiu'er's pain, thinking of this, he picked up the wooden basin and rushed out again.
It seems that even the Mandate of Heaven can't help the wind and cold! Sighing deeply, Xuanyuan Zhuo slowly walked towards the door. "Let's burn the house down!"
"Yes! Patriarch!" Although everyone was reluctant, they also knew that this was a helpless thing! After all, once the plague broke out, they would face the disaster of extermination, and the safest way was to burn down the hut together.
