"Knife?" Niu Tong's comprehension ability is good. Holding back the pain, he gestured his fingers at the surface of his injured leg, and asked suspiciously and tentatively, "You mean, you want to cut this place?" ”

"Yes." Tianhao adhered to the etiquette of dignity and humility, and seriously increased the psychological pressure on the other party: "My lord, your injury is already very serious, if you don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid you can only cut off this leg to save your life." ”

"Isn't it! So serious? Niu Tong was taken aback, although he was young, he was not without knowledge. Amputation surgery has already been developed in this world, and he doesn't want to become a cripple with a noble status now.

He fell off his horse and broke his leg. In the past three days, his subordinates have spread the news of seeking medical treatment, and they have also sent special envoys to invite Dawu from other places, and more than a dozen guys who claim to be healers have come and gone. There are only two ways to treat them, except for the ritual of praying to the gods, which is to boil strange herbs in clay pots. The black decoction smelled pungent, and the taste in the mouth was hard to swallow. Niu Tong didn't know the severity, he patiently drank the decoction made by the doctors one by one, feeling that his stomach was full of bitter liquid, and he was sick to his stomach for a while...... In the end, almost all of the people who drank it spit out.

The young man standing in front of him was very special, he did not have the flattering appearance of other doctors. knows how to be humble and humble, but neither humble nor arrogant. What's more, his identity document has a circular badge reserved for shamans.

There was a burst of pain in the injured leg, urging Niu Tong to make up his mind. He no longer hesitated, and asked seriously: "If you follow what you said, what do you need?" ”

"My lord, you have to drink a bowl of medicine ...... first"

This sentence immediately stabbed Niu Tong's most nervous and fearful psychological touch, and he suddenly screamed loudly like a cat with its tail stepped on: "What? Drink medicine? ”

"Anesthetic!" Tianhao dragged out his voice and patiently explained: "It will let you sleep well." It hurts to go straight to the knife, and you won't be able to stand it. ”

After using the terrain of the valley to successfully hunt a large number of giant horned deer, Tianhao became a disciple publicly recognized by the old priest. The "black anesthetic" formula is one of the learning outcomes of this time.

The young man who had been standing beside Niu Tong and had not spoken all this time couldn't help but light up his eyes when he heard this, and nodded thoughtfully: "Since you know how to configure anesthetics, you are indeed a disciple of the witch god." ”

In this world, a lot of knowledge is monopolized and closed. In the case of black anesthetic, for example, the recipe has always been in the hands of the wizard. Only those who have been approved by the shamans and identified as being included in the scope of "witch practitioners" can impart the relevant knowledge and skills.

Niu Tong was completely relieved.

He drank a bowl of black anesthetic prepared by Tianhao and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

This is the second time Tianhao has operated on a patient. He wasn't as flustered as he was last time, and his movements were much more agile than before. Niu Tong was naked, and Tianhao took the hot-water-soaked rag from the servant and gently wiped the part that was about to be knifed. The city lord has a noble status, and the luxury of wine is naturally indispensable at home. The only drawback is that the brewing is not legal, the degree is too low, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing for disinfection.

When the knife was inserted into the flesh, black blood immediately oozed out. Tianhao was not alarmist, Niu Tong's injury was indeed serious, and if he didn't use the knife, this leg would be useless.

He is not a professional orthopedic surgeon, but he knows the basic direction and distribution of human bones. Little by little, the broken bones are removed, and the twisted and broken leg bones are moved back into place...... The action is still so rude, and it is absolutely miserable in the eyes of professional doctors. However, now the specific way to do it is completely up to Tianhao alone, and no one will question his behavior.

The young man had been standing by the side. He watched Tianhao's every movement with relish, watching him stitch up the wound with threads boiled in boiling water, and firmly fix the injured leg with a makeshift splint. The effect of the black anesthetic can only be regarded as average, Niu Tong in a coma was woken up alive, fortunately the operation has come to an end, the young man and the two servants pressed Niu Tong's shoulder, Tianhao accelerated the operation. After a few minutes, it was obvious that Niu Tong, who was not so in pain, was no longer struggling. His face was pale, and he gasped for breath, and was carried by his servants to another clean room, leaving only a bed covered in blood.

Tianhao and Tianmad were arranged to rest in the guest room. Not long after entering the room, the servant came and said: The lord of the city has invited you to lunch.

Young people have a lot of energy. Niu Tong has had a miserable time during this time. The lord of the city, who controls tens of thousands of people, is tortured by a group of inexplicable healers so that he can't eat well and can't sleep. Everyone claims that their potions work, and these decoctions always have strange ways of using them and mysterious reasons. Some medicine primers are very special, and you have to catch a few cockroaches and boil them together. Some medicine primers are more tricky, and they need the sunflower water of the girl's first tide. There are also prescriptions that are deliberately embarrassing, Nima's is now winter, but it just needs the rain that falls in the early hours of the dog day. If it doesn't rain this year, you'll have to wait until next year.

Niu Tong really wanted to pick up the axe and cut off the heads of these people one by one. But he couldn't do that. Regardless of the authenticity of the prescription for the time being, at least the doctor cannot be offended. It takes time to distinguish between the good guys and the liars, and if you kill the real healer because of your own personal likes and dislikes, it will make Niu Tong feel deeply guilty.

Lunch was plentiful. A variety of meats and pasta dishes are set on the table. A large pot of bone-in stew with pork and beef. The chicken broth is steaming in a crockpot, and the cooked liver is cooled and sliced, along with a pinch of salt for dipping and eating.

The pasta is relatively coarse, and the quality is no different from the pancakes and steamed buns that Tianhao had eaten in the inn before. Mixed with a lot of gluten, there are many small hard bumps on the surface of the steamed bun, which feels rough in the mouth, but it is definitely not small stones and grit.

Between these large pots of food, there are several coarse porcelain dishes. It contains vegetables, which are yellowish in color, and you can't see the slightest hint of green as it should be. Tianhao took a chopstick and tasted it, and found that it was a dried vegetable soaked in water, which was estimated to be the inventory after drying in autumn.

These foods are not delicious. Whether it is a broth or a stew, it has a strong or faint fishy smell. Tianhao reached out and took an egg and gently tapped the shell on the table. It's one of his favorite foods and the thing that appeals to him the most at the table.

The rough cow copper belongs to the type that does not pay much attention to etiquette. He sat on a stool with no backrest, and a long wooden bench next to it for his left leg, which was held in place by the splint. Sitting on one leg on the ground was a little awkward, he picked up the wine bowl, saluted the young man and Tianhao respectively, and laughed happily: "Come, come, come, drink!" Let's drink together! ”

The wine is cloudy and has a somewhat sour taste. The fermentation process of this thing is obviously very backward, the degree is very low, and there is even a faint taste of rice milk in the mouth.

Tianhao put down the wine bowl in his hand, arched his hand at Niu Tong who was smiling, and said seriously: "My lord, your injury needs to be recuperated, and you also need to pay attention to your diet, it is best not to drink during this time." ”

Niu Tong was stunned.

The young man across the table was a little curious: "What, drinking alcohol has an effect on the change of injury?" ”

Without waiting for Tianhao to speak, he opened his mouth and smiled: "My name is Wu Yuan." ”

The name had a special effect in Tianhao's mind. He frowned slightly, thinking that he must have heard the name somewhere. After thinking for a few seconds, Tianhao left his seat, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Wu Yuan.

"I've seen Lord Witch."

The old priest Wu Xing mentioned the person "Wu Yuan" to him more than once. A "sorcerer" is a profession that specializes in communicating with the gods. Starting from the lowest villages, there are ordinary priests. In larger cities, there are higher-ranking wizards. In the top, there is also a higher status of the "Great Witch".

Wu Yuan is the great witch of the Thunder Niu Clan, and he is also the supreme witch practitioner who oversees all the wizards and priests in hundreds of thousands of Thunder Bull Barbarians, large and small cities and villages.

On top of the Great Witch, there is also a national teacher of the exclusive clan. For example, the "cow" tribe that rules the thunder cow, the fierce cow, the bison and other tribes, under the noble ox king, is the national teacher who commands the great witches of the tribes.

Is there a god in this world?

In Tianhao's view, the answer to this question should be no. But one thing is certain: the shamans are definitely representatives of the cultural class of the northern barbarian social system. They possess knowledge far above that of ordinary people, and many of their actions are relegated to the category of "communicating with the gods."

His first impression of Wu Yuan was very good: there was no arrogance and a modest attitude. If it weren't for Tianhao learning about the Northern Barbarian Clan's Witch Walker System from the old priest, he would never have thought that he would be the Great Witch of the Thunder Niu Clan.

"Don't be so polite, sit down and talk." Wu Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Ah Tong and I are friends. He was injured this time, and I couldn't do anything about it. Speaking of which, you've helped me a lot. ”

Tianhao returned to his chair and sat down. Proper etiquette is indispensable, and the attitude of neither humility nor arrogance is not contemptible. The atmosphere at the dinner table became hot again, and the three of them simply abandoned polite salutations and brought each other closer.

Niu Tong moved the wine bowl a little farther to the side, with a curious expression on his face: "Ah Hao, why didn't you let me drink just now?" ”

"I've had similar surgeries a few times before, and I'm not sure about some of the factors myself." Tianhao made a thoughtful appearance, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table: "Adult, you can drink more bone broth to help you recover." ”
