Chapter 002: Expelling Cold Poison
Black Tiger Village is a well-known mountain bandit nest within a radius of dozens of miles from Qingcheng Mountain, and there are seven or eight hundred people gathered in it, all of whom are extraordinary. In addition, the geographical location on the mountain is complicated, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the imperial court has been helpless over the years. Ordinary people didn't dare to walk around at will nearby, but at this time, an old man and a young man came over on the road, it was Sun Xun and Xinghua.
Sun Xun knew that Xinghua's body was weak and he couldn't bear the pain of a long journey, so he slowed down a lot along the way.
Xinghua followed behind him and looked very reluctant, "Master, do we have to go to Black Tiger Village?" ”
Sun Xun replied as he walked, "Well, I have to go." Otherwise, once the cold poison in your body attacks, there is no way for the teacher to save you. ”
Five years ago, although Xinghua was not poisoned by poisoned wine, his brain was damaged, not only lost all his memory, but also his mind was extremely immature. What's even more unfortunate is that somehow his body is infected with cold poison.
When the cold poison attacks, the blood in the body coagulates, and the whole body is cold, and even in dog days, a thick layer of frost will be produced on the skin. If it is not treated, the poisoned person can only die with a whimper.
In order to save Xinghua's life, Sun Xun would send him to Black Tiger Village every three months for Gao Fengying to treat him.
Xinghua still didn't give up, and trotted to Sun Xun's side and looked at him with a pitiful face, "It's been several years, I think my health is very good now, can we not go?" ”
"Your uncle and aunt said that the poison on your body cannot be completely eradicated, and can only be temporarily controlled with medicine."
At this time, he suddenly stopped, pointed his finger at Xinghua's forehead and said with a serious face: "Don't think that the teacher doesn't know what you're thinking, if you make any trouble again this time, the teacher will never be spared!" ”
Xinghua saw that Sun Xun had no room for negotiation, so he could only obediently follow him.
At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain was waiting for a man, his body was dignified and his appearance was dignified. A pair of eyes shot cold stars, and the two curved eyebrows were like paint. With a broad chest and a long sword, he has the majesty of being invincible.
This person is Jiang Chen, the young master of Black Tiger Village, and when he saw the two approaching people, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Chen'er has seen Uncle Shi." ”
Sun Xun patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, Chen'er, your body bones look stronger and stronger." ”
Jiang Chen smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle Shi, you are the treasure knife is not old, and my father has been talking about you recently." The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, you must finish the festival this time. ”
Sun Xun nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Jiang Chen saw Xinghua sullen on the side, and hugged his neck, "Xing'er, why do you have such a sad face every time you come, don't you want to see me?" ”
"Brother Chen, you are so good to me, why don't I want to see you?" Xinghua pouted and said, "I just thought of that little demon girl in your family, and I got goosebumps all over my body, and I was very uncomfortable!" ”
Sun Xun frowned and glared at Xinghua, "Hugh is unreasonable!" ”
Jiang Chen smiled: "With me here, you don't have to be afraid of her." ”
Qingcheng Mountain is not a single peak, nor is it a group of three or five, but thousands of peaks and thousands of winding.
After entering the cottage, Sun Xun took Xinghua directly to meet Jiang Su and his wife, "I have met Uncle Shi and Uncle Shi." ”
Sun Xundao: "This time I'm going to trouble you and my younger siblings again." ”
Jiang Su said: "Senior brother, what are you talking about!" I think that the three of us brothers were like brothers and sisters back then, although now they are going their separate ways, but you don't want to see each other like this. ”
Gao Fengying glanced at Xinghua and sighed: "It's just that I am not good at learning and can't eradicate the cold poison in Xing'er's body, which has made him suffer a lot over the years." ”
Speaking of this, it is not false at all, first of all, you have to use a silver needle to open several big points on Xinghua's body, and then you have to steam it in the bath bucket for a day and a night to force out the cold in your body.
But even so, the cold poison that penetrated into the bone marrow could not be completely expelled, and within a few months, the cold qi would condense in the body. Such repetition made Xinghua miserable.
Sun Xundao: "Brother and sister, you don't have to blame yourself too much, now as long as you can save his little life, it will be his great creation." ”
"Ouch, I said why my eyelids jumped so hard today, it turned out that this nerd was here."
The owner of this voice is a young girl, she looks like a small jasper, but there is a heroic spirit between the willow eyebrows. This person is the little demon girl in Xinghua's mouth, Jiang Ji.
Xinghua glanced at him, and said angrily: "Hmph, do you think I want to come, if it weren't for the face of my master and his old man, I wouldn't want to step into you for half a step." ”
Sun Xun twisted Xinghua's ear with one hand and reprimanded: "Usually it's just that it's not big or small in Hopeless Peak, but now it's so ignorant of the rules in front of your uncle." ”
Xinghua hurriedly protected his ears and shouted, "Master, be light! Hurt! ”
Gao Fengying hurriedly relieved the siege, "Senior brother, this kid is bickering, don't take it to heart." In the final analysis, it is our aunt who is at fault first, so don't blame Xing'er. After speaking, he turned around and glared at Auntie, "You girl is getting more and more disagreeable now, go back to your room facing the wall for two hours." ”
Jiang Su didn't intercede for her, but continued to reprimand: "What are you doing in a daze, and next time you will be directly punished to go to the back mountain!" ”
Jiang Ji snorted and turned his head to leave, and Xinghua grimaced in the back.
Xinghua didn't want to listen to the greetings from the elders, so he pulled Jiang Chen and ran out.
Unconsciously, the two of them walked to the Flying Waterfall, Qingcheng Mountain has many high cliffs, and from a distance, this waterfall is like a white line straight to the sky.
The waterfall crashes against the rocks and stirs up thousands of splashes, which turn into colorful droplets in the sun. The mist in the air made people feel much cooler on their faces, and the two of them found a rock and sat down.
Jiang Chen looked at Xinghua and asked, "How are the two senior brothers, Rihua and Yuehua, how are they recently, they were not there when I sent you back last time, and now I haven't seen them for more than half a year." ”
"The two of them are not forced by the master to practice swords every day. But these days, Master is not here, they should be quite at ease. ”
Jiang Chen poked Xinghua's head with his hand, "Do you think everyone will be as lazy as you?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to learn, if the master is willing to teach me martial arts, can I still be bullied by your aunt like this? I didn't know how many streets to knock her out for a long time! ”
As he spoke, he picked up a small stone and threw it into the water, and the stone jumped several times in the water like a fish before sinking to the bottom.
"Beautiful!"
Xinghua laughed, "I don't dare to make an axe, this technique is far worse than you." ”
Xinghua was bullied by Jiang Ji at the beginning, Jiang Chen always took him out to relax, and this trick was also taught to him by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen looked at Xinghua stupidly, "I'm sighing why you look so handsome, I'm afraid there are few women in this world who can match your appearance." ”
Xinghua suddenly felt bad in his heart, and sighed long, "What can you do if you look good, it's not like just sitting and waiting for death." ”
"Bah, I don't allow you to say such unlucky things. Don't worry, my mother will be able to find a way to save your life. ”
Qingming willow insertion, Dragon Boat Festival wormwood. The black tiger village up and down the calamus, moxa sticks inserted in the door eyebrows, hanging in the hall to drive away miasma.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to eating zongzi, there are also a table full of good dishes. Compared with Hopeless Peak, the food in Black Tiger Village is not known to be many times better.
Jiang Chen ripped off a chicken leg and handed it to Xinghua's bowl, "Last time, you didn't think the chef was making it delicious, but this time I made this dish myself, can you taste it." ”
Xinghua took a bite and said, "Well, Brother Chen, this time is much better than last time." ”
Jiang Xi looked a little unhappy on the side, "Hmph, people who don't know still think that my sister was picked up, and that is your own brother." ”
"Okay, well, you have a share." As he spoke, Jiang Chen ripped off his other leg and put it into Jiang Xi's bowl.
Gao Fengying said: "I'm almost ready these days, and tomorrow Xing'er will be able to take a medicinal bath." ”
As soon as noon arrived the next day, Xinghua was taken to a room specially prepared for him. By this time the room was already filled with steam, and with great reluctance he approached the barrel, took off his clothes, and sat down.
Jiang Chen picked up the lid and prepared to close it, firstly, to prevent the medicine in the barrel from losing with the water vapor, and secondly, to prevent Xinghua from escaping quietly if he couldn't bear it.
Xinghua looked at Jiang Chen with pleading eyes, "Brother Chen, can you not cover this lid?" ”
Seeing that Jiang Chen was a little hesitant, he hurriedly said, "I promise, I will stay inside obediently and never run out." ”
Jiang Chen thought for a while and covered it, leaving only Xinghua's head exposed.
Xinghua immediately turned his face, "Hmph, I see that you are the same as Auntie, and you are against me everywhere." I'll never bother with you again! ”
"You're so old, why are you still playing with a child's temper. This is also for your own good, but it has only been a day and a night, and patience will soon pass. ”
The preparation in the wooden barrel is all hot medicinal herbs, and ordinary people only need to soak it in it for half an hour, and it will be hot and poisonous.
At the beginning, Xinghua was already used to it and didn't feel any discomfort. After two hours, the heat of the medicine gradually began to seep into the deepest part of his body through the open acupuncture points in his body.
The cold poison latent in the body became active under the stimulation of these drugs, and the two qi started a tug-of-war. Xinghua only felt that his body was hot and cold, and his whole body began to tremble.
When Xinghua was sinned, Jiang Chen was not idle, he always paid attention to the charcoal fire in the furnace, increasing or decreasing it appropriately.
Because of the effect of the cold air, Xinghua's face was pale, without a trace of blood.
He felt his body collapse and fell asleep in a daze.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in bed, and it seemed that he had finally survived the catastrophe.
After a while, the door was opened, and Xinghua didn't need to look up to know that Jiang Chen had brought him food.
Jiang Chen walked in with a bowl of porridge, "Xing'er, let's eat something." ”
Xinghua sat up with difficulty and glanced at the bowl, "Brother Chen, my body is so weak now, I should make up for it, why do you bring me white porridge?" ”
"You also know that your body is still relatively weak now, so you can only eat some light things for the time being."
Xinghua pouted and muttered, "But I don't like to drink white porridge, it doesn't taste at all." ”
Jiang Chen scooped up a mouthful with a spoon and blew it on the side of his mouth, "This time I added some honey and sugar to it, it must be delicious." As he spoke, he handed the spoon to Xinghua's mouth.
Xinghua opened his mouth and ate it in disbelief.
"How's it going, isn't it?"
Xinghua nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's indeed much better than the previous white porridge." ”
Jiang Chen continued to pass the spoon to his mouth and looked at him dotingly, "Then eat more." ”
