Chapter 50: Herbs to stop bleeding
Pulling Tang Ji's wrist, Liu Wei endured the pain of the wound, leaned forward little by little, and slowly lowered Tang Ji under the tree.
The old locust tree was not very tall, he hooked his feet to the branches, and leaned out halfway out, trying to put Tang Ji's position low.
The wrist was tightly grasped by Liu Wei, Tang Ji's body hung in the air, the white and tender arm was pinched red, there was a faint pain, and the arm bones were also pulled as if they were about to dislocate, sore.
She looked down with some trepidation, her feet were only half her body height from the ground, and looking down from above still made her feel a little uneasy and scared.
"I'm going to let go!" Tang Ji's weight tore open the wound, Liu Wei could feel that the wound began to bleed again, his painful forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but he still endured and said to Tang Ji, who was holding his wrist tightly: "After landing, relax your knees, center of gravity back, and land on the ground with your buttocks, so that you can remove the gravity borne by the footboard, so that you won't break your feet." ”
"Hmm!" Tang Ji pursed her lips, looked up at Liu Wei's face that was pale as paper due to pain, and nodded heavily.
Seeing Tang Ji nodding, Liu Wei loosened his hand, Tang Ji's wrist slipped from his palm a little, and when her soft little hand slid to the palm of Liu Wei's hand, Liu Wei grabbed her little hand again, and let it go down little by little.
With his feet closer to the ground, Tang Ji first looked down, and then looked up at Liu Wei, his eyes flashing with gratitude.
Although Liu Wei only made her feet a little closer to the ground, it was just like that, and it also showed his concern and love for her.
The little hand slipped from Liu Wei's hand, and Tang Ji's thin body lost its strength and fell straight towards the tree.
I don't know if I remember what Liu Wei explained to pay attention to when landing, at the moment when Tang Ji's feet touched the ground, her knees bent a little, her hips were facing back, and she sat on the thick fallen leaves, making a muffled sound of "Peng".
The fallen leaves on the ground were very thick, as if there were several stacked cashmere blankets on the ground, and he sat on the soft fallen leaf cushion violently, although it would not hurt very much, but Tang Ji still subconsciously let out a soft snort.
Lowering Tang Ji down the tree, Liu Wei took two deep breaths, intending to relieve the feeling of powerlessness caused by the pain of the wound in his shoulder blade.
There was nothing unusual about his actions, if Zhou Cang was standing under the tree at this time, he would definitely think that he was just trying to find a better position to climb up.
But Tang Ji is a woman after all, and her mind is much more delicate than that of men. Liu Wei only took two deep breaths, and she immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Husband......" Looking at Liu Wei, who was still lying on the branch, Tang Ji took a few steps closer to the old locust tree and called softly.
Hearing Tang Ji's call, Liu Wei knew that she couldn't see that she was injured, otherwise she didn't know how many unprovoked tears would be aroused.
He held the branch with one hand, his body straightened up slightly, endured the pain and smiled at Tang Ji and said, "You have been on the tree for half a day, I just want to experience whether it is comfortable to lie on the branch, I will come down here!" ”
Looking at Liu Bian's already pale face, Tang Ji felt a little uneasy, but she was used to believing in Liu Bian, although the feeling of uneasiness was very strong, she would not question it.
Grabbing the branch in front of him with both hands, Liu Wei moved forward, slowly rubbed towards the edge of the tree, and gradually moved his whole body to the outside of the branch.
With his legs dangling in the air, he looked down, his feet not too high off the ground. In normal times, even if he didn't pick up the branches, he would dare to jump down.
But now he is weak and his legs are weak, so he can only minimize the distance between his feet and the ground, so as to reduce the recoil force exerted on his feet when he lands.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Wei raised his face, looked at the branch he was grasping, and as soon as his hands were loosened, the whole person fell to the ground in a free fall.
As soon as he felt his feet touch the ground, Liu Wei bent his knees slightly, his buttocks were backwards, and he sat on the thick fallen leaves.
As soon as his buttocks touched the ground, he fell backwards and landed on his back, removing the force exerted on his feet.
Tang Ji on the side saw Liu Wei fall to the ground, and no longer cared about any etiquette and dignity, so he hurriedly ran to his side, stretched out his hand to hold his arm, looked at him with concern and asked softly, "Is the husband injured?" ”
Sitting up with Tang Ji's support, Liu Wei smiled slightly, shook his head at her, and said to her softly: "It's okay, it's just that I didn't stand firm and fell on my ass......"
Holding Liu Wei's arm with both hands, Tang Ji didn't say anything more, just lined up and helped him stand up.
"I'll put the dry food and water under the tree, you eat, I'll go pick some herbs." Standing up, Liu Wei stretched out his hand and patted the buttocks stained with two fallen leaves, patted the fallen leaves off, pointed to the dry food and water bladders placed under the roots of the tree, and commanded her softly, before walking towards Zhou Cang and the others.
"Sir!" Before Liu Wei walked in front of everyone, he had already bandaged the wounds of the seriously wounded, and Zhou Cang and the men, who were sitting on the ground in a pile eating dry food, stood up and greeted him in unison.
"Sit down, brothers!" He pressed his hand twice towards everyone, and after everyone sat down, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang, who was about to sit down with his buttocks: "Yuanfu, you take your brothers to guard here!" ”
"No!" Zhou Cang, whose buttocks were not yet touching the ground, hurriedly stood up again, and responded with his hands clenched into fists.
"You two bring dry food and water, and go with me to pick some herbs!" Nodding to Zhou Cang, Liu Wei gave another order to the two men sitting closest to him.
The two men hurriedly stood up and responded, picked up a bag of corn and a water bladder filled with water, followed Liu Wei, and walked towards the depths of the forest.
Walking a little further up the mountain, Liu Wei saw a deep and fluffy grass appear in front of them. The stems of the grass were thin and long, and the faint wind in the forest caressed the stems of the grass, making them sway in the wind, like a dancer with a mink around her neck.
Seeing this plush deep grass, Liu Wei's eyes lit up, and the pace under his feet accelerated a lot. When he reached the grass, he crouched down and reached out to pick up a slender piece of grass.
The rhizome of the grass was densely covered with pieces of fine scales, Liu Wei gently brushed off the soil on its rhizome, used his fingernails to pick off the pieces of scales, put the clean rhizome of the long grass into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
The two men standing behind him saw his actions, and the two glanced at each other, and all they saw in each other's eyes was confusion.
While chewing on the rhizome in his mouth, Liu Wei reached out to untie the leather armor on his body, and pulled the clothes on the side of the injured shoulder blade below his big arm, revealing the wound tightly wrapped in linen.
Untying the sackcloth, he glanced down at the wound. The wound was no longer bleeding, the pink granules turned outward, and the hole pierced by the short spear was scarred with black scabs, and just looking at it gave people a shocking feeling.
Spit out the rhizomes that had been chewed into a paste in his hand, Liu Wei smeared the paste on the wound, and scraped them a few times with his fingers after the last time, and pressed them into the wound with a little force.
With a press he did, the scar cracked open a slit, but no blood flowed out.
"What is this?" After smearing the paste, Liu Wei pulled out another piece of grass, twisted the grass stalk with his hand, turned his head and asked the two men behind him.
Looking at the grass that was twisted in Liu Wei's hands, the two men shook their heads blankly.
This kind of grass is not uncommon in the Bishan area, and they have often seen it in the past, but they never thought it would have the effect of healing injuries.
"It's called White Grass Root." Looking at the grass twisted in his hand, Liu Wei said to the two men: "I know that the greatest effect of the Dao is to stop bleeding, as long as there is him, and he will fight the enemy in the future, many brothers who should not die innocently will not die innocently!" ”
Looking at the grass in Liu Wei's hand, the two men were surprised, they never thought that this kind of grass, which can be seen almost every day, would be a good medicine that can stop bleeding and continue life!
"There are white grass roots on the mountain, there must be other herbs!" Holding the white grass root in his hand, Liu Wei raised his head and looked at the forest in front of him, and said to the two men behind him: "I have to leave here before sunset, and there is not much time to delay in collecting medicine, you two work harder, while looking for herbs, eat dry food to fill your stomach!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei had already begun to pick the white grass roots nearby. Seeing this, the two men also hurriedly squatted down and helped him pick up the herbs, and it didn't take long for them to pick a large bundle.
Stirring a few long grasses together, tying the picked white grass roots into small bundles, and being held by a man, Liu Biancai stood up and continued to walk towards the depths of the forest with two people.
While taking out the cooked corn from the cloth bag with the two men and eating it, Liu Wei carefully searched for the herbs that were useful to them in the mountains and forests.
The corn they had brought had eaten cleanly, the water in the bladder had been drunk, and seeing that the light shining into the forest through the canopy of the trees had turned a little yellow, Liu Biancai and the two men walked towards the place where they were stationed, holding several bundles of herbs, large and small.
Returning to the station, he and the two men threw the herbs in their arms to the ground, and Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang, who stood up to greet them: "Yuanfu, let the brothers choose some of the grass with long hair on it, break the rhizomes, and wipe some of the wounded brothers on the wounds." Then I will crush the grass with seven leaves and apply it to my hands and face, and I will have to get out of here as soon as possible. ”
"No!" Zhou Cang responded, then turned around and shouted to the men present, "Have you heard what Mr. said?" Hurry up, as soon as it gets dark, most of you will become blind, and you can't leave if you want to. ”
