vs 5 I can save you
Tianhao reached out and took aside the bowl of medicine that was lying on the floor. He controlled the strength of his arms, and the range of motion was very careful. It looked like in order not to hinder Tianshuang from feeding Tianfeng soup, he deliberately moved the medicine bowl away to make room for her.
No one noticed that Tianhao poked his middle finger into the medicine bowl, and his fingertips quickly dipped it in the black medicine, then stuffed it into his mouth and sucked it quickly.
Those who were able to be chosen to be the successors at the last moments of civilization, and who were eligible to enter the culture chamber in the form of cells, were selected extremely rigorously. They must be strong warriors, and they must possess a wealth of knowledge, the art of stalemate, and careful logical thinking...... In the words of that era that has been destroyed, it is the real "human elite".
A hint of bitterness spreads on the tip of the tongue, and numbness spreads in the mouth. There wasn't much liquid medicine he tasted, and Tianhao controlled the quantity precisely, which was enough for him to judge the specific effects that made up this bowl of medicine.
An anesthetic that has a strong suppressive effect on nerve reflexes. In the words of the civilized era, it is an improved version of "hemp boiling".
Tianhao frowned imperceptibly.
Tianfeng's injury is very serious, and the most urgent thing at present is sterilization and anti-inflammatory. Fortunately, it is winter, and if it had been a hot summer, he would not have been able to survive until now, and he would have died on the road.
In the special group of northern barbarians, the "priest" is equivalent to a shaman, and can even be understood as a combination of the three. They are responsible for daily rituals, communication with the gods, and the health of their clansmen. Their status and functions overlap considerably with those of doctors in the civilized era.
If there is anyone in the village who can save Tianfeng, except for the old priest Wu Xing, there can be no second person.
He sent a bowl of anesthetic.
Tianhao sighed secretly: The medical skills of this era are too backward. The old priest had apparently been helpless in doing so. The only thing he could do was to minimize the pain of the injured and let Tianfeng die in a comfortable sleep.
Tianfeng drank a small half bowl of broth, and then stopped opening his mouth. He twisted his head to the side, closed his eyes, and dodged the wooden spoon that Tianshuang brought to his mouth.
Hold your stomach down hard, which slightly reduces the allure of the meaty aroma to the hungry body. The corners of his mouth kept flowing hungry saliva, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "Big brother, you have to eat!" Eat more to get better quickly, and if you eat all the meat in this pot, it will definitely get better. ”
Tianfeng's pale and tired face twitched slightly, the contraction and expansion of the lip muscles were very small, and the neck that was stubbornly tilted to one side did not change at all, but the Adam's apple, which was swaying up and down with the saliva swallowing action, betrayed his thinking at the moment, and it was a fierce collision between hunger and reason.
Tianhao walked very close to Tianfeng's head, sat cross-legged, and lowered his upper body. The firewood was burning in the fire, and Tianhao stared at the arm of his eldest brother Tianfeng, which was already swollen and blackened: "Brother, do you want to kill yourself and leave us with food?" ”
Tianshuang froze, and the soup bowl in his hand almost slipped and fell.
The expression on Tianfeng's face was visibly stiff. He slowly opened his eyes, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at the "younger brother" sitting in front of him with an extremely complicated gaze.
The rough Tianmad eyebrows were twisted together, and he raised his finger to point at Tianhao and scolded: "Are you cursing your eldest brother to death?" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu......"
"Shut up!"
Tianhao turned around suddenly, and the depths of his eyes revealed a fierce cold light: "Be patient, listen to me finish speaking." ”
The ferocious celestial madness was stunned.
In my memory, the third brother is a gentle personality, always silent on weekdays, and looks like a cowardly person. He had never confronted himself head-on like he did today, especially those always deferential eyes, and he had never released such a cold gaze as he did now.
Silence returned to the room.
"During the time when you go out hunting, the eldest brother and the second brother, Pingjun will come over every night. Several old men were killed in the village in a row, and according to the rules set by the chief and the priests, everyone should be given some. But for four days, my sister and I didn't get a piece of meat. ”
The muscles on his arm were slightly stunned for a moment, and his anger was like a detonated bomb that instantly spread on his face, and his understanding of the thick lines was simple and direct, and the solution was the same: "Pingjun, this bastard, I'm going to kill him." ”
Tianfeng, who was seriously injured, was tormented by severe pain, but he did not lose his mind. He endured the severe pain, inhaled the cold air, swept over Tianhao and Tianshuang with a shrewd gaze, and asked suspiciously, "Four days?" How did you get to where you are now? ”
Tianhao searched the host's brain for previous memories: "A small handful of chaff can be shaken out of the bag of grain in autumn, Ah Mei is so hungry that she can't stand it, she keeps pulling out her hair to eat, and there are lice, and her nails are also gnawed by her very badly." I boiled the remaining bones from before, and there wasn't much oil or water. Luckily, I hit a fang-toothed pig yesterday, so I lasted until you came back today. ”
Tianfeng and Tianmad showed extremely shocked expressions at the same time.
"Fanged pigs? How can you deal with that kind of beast? ”
"Third, where's the meat? I didn't see it when I came back? ”
Tianhao explained simply: "It was a little pig, I hid the meat outside, and brought back a few pieces at a time, so that no one would find out." ”
As he spoke, he untied his leather robe, took out a few pieces of hard, frozen meat from his pocket, and placed them on the floor of the wooden house like stones of strange colors.
"Pingjun is the head of ten, and he has the final say on how the food is distributed. This kind of thing is useless even if it goes to the boss. If he dared to do so, he must have found witnesses in advance. What's more, the eldest brother and the second brother are not at home, just me and Ah Mei, even if things get out of trouble, it is estimated that not many people will believe it, and they will think that it is me and Ah Mei who deliberately caused trouble and wanted to cheat more meat from Ping Jun. ”
Tianhao spoke at an unfast pace, with clear words and clear logic. He carefully adheres to the host's habits, making minor changes to the environment at the appropriate time.
"There is a shortage of food in the stockade, and when you were outside before, you also heard from the chief, and he asked Wu Lao to take the woman to the stockade in the south to exchange for food. Regardless of whether this happens or not, the situation before us is already very dangerous. If one day Pingjun broke in with a group of people and slaughtered us one by one, I wouldn't be surprised at all. ”
Lowering his head again, a convincing glimmer flashed in the depths of Tianhao's dark eyes: "So big brother, you must live." Because you, like Pingjun, are the heads of the ten. ”
That's the conclusion he came to yesterday after thinking all night.
It takes time to fuse with the host body, and it also requires a lot of nutrients. The era of civilization was destroyed too early, and genetic fusion was still largely in the theoretical stage. If it were not a last resort, the base would not have converted all members to the genetic form at the last minute and sealed them in the culture chamber. Regarding integration, Tianhao does not have any previous experience to follow, nor does it have any examples to refer to.
He only knows that fusion is evolution, which needs to be accumulated gradually.
The northern barbarians have never been recorded in the history of civilization, and this cold and desolate land is infinitely strange to Tianhao. Fortunately, the host chosen is qualitatively healthy, and although it is weak among his kind, it is not impossible to change.
The first fusion point is easy to generate. On the two selection lines of "physical fitness" and "brain", Tianhao cautiously put it into the "brain".
He desperately needs more information about the world. Strong and sharp thinking and processing skills are much more effective in an unfamiliar environment than a strong body.
As long as Tianfeng, the titular "brother", is alive, he will have time to breathe.
The flickering firelight shone misery and helplessness on Tianfeng's face, and he let out a long sigh.
In Panshi Village, only strong men are eligible for food. The disability caused by the severed limb is equivalent to death in a sense. Because the injured were incapacitated, unable to farm, let alone hunt, and needed to be cared for by others. No village will adopt disabled villagers.
In the face of severe survival, family and friendship are as transparent as air.
"I'm afraid I'm not going to get better." The sharp pain in his shoulders and chest made it difficult for Tianfeng to speak: "Kill me!" Don't talk about it, hide it for a few more days. Don't go anywhere, just stay at home, eat as much as you can, and eat as much as you can to grow strong. If Pingjun comes again, Tianmad will go out to deal with it, and just find an excuse to drive him away. Tianhao and Tianshuang, you eat more...... Three days, or four days, until the chief and the witch came. At that time, even if you deliberately conceal the news of my death, for the sake of how many portions you have eaten, they will not be cruel to you. After all, there are people in the village, and when you are full, you don't have to share other people's food. ”
Tianshuang was so frightened that she sat there trembling, and cried "wow": "Big brother, don't die, I won't eat, I'm ...... I'm not hungry at all. ”
The ferocious maniac's eyes were a little red, he gasped, gritted his teeth, and released a breath similar to the madness of a beast all over his body. The terrible image of my brother being unable to move because of his disability and being dragged away and slaughtered by the villagers kept coming to mind. This made him feel chills all over his body, and even his fingers began to tremble.
The flickering flames in the earthen stove next to him reflected a trace of tranquility flashing in Tianhao's eyes: "Big brother, I can save you." ”
All three of them focused their eyes on him at the same time.
"Save ...... Save me? Tianfeng endured the pain from the wound and looked at him suspiciously, obviously not understanding the meaning of this sentence.
"I can restore this hand of yours, and the wound in your chest can also be healed." Tianhao accentuated his tone, and his voice became clearer.
