Volume 1: Destruction and Rebirth Chapter 20 Stand firm when beaten
Han Jianfei never believed in the theory of strange forces and gods, nor did he believe in the divine stick behavior that proclaimed the so-called cycle of cause and effect and predicted the future.
So he shrugged: "I'm not a little murderous, but I'm not as unbearable as she said." ”
The old shaman then said, "Banish him quickly!" Only then will we not be swept up in his fate full of blood and death! ”
Since the mines were built on that side of the mountain, the young people have become less and less convinced of the oracles of the shamans, and most of the tribe have treated them as ordinary witch doctors.
"Old mama, even if there are no outsiders, we can't always be the same." Genchiko said, "The world is not the same anymore, and we can't be the last tribe to change. ”
The old shaman stared at Han Jianfei for a long time, until he saw that he was a little hairy, then he withdrew his gaze, sighed, and took out a crockpot filled with liquid from the room.
Zhizi took the crockpot and handed it to Han Jianfei: "This is a bone fixing potion, we here, we have to use this potion to strengthen the body since birth, although you are not young, but the foundation is not bad, you should still be able to use it a little." ”
Han Jian stretched out his hand to pick up the crockpot, and suddenly felt that his hand sank, this jar didn't look big, but the contents were really not light, and he shook it gently with his hand, and he could hear the sound of liquid dingdong.
"This thing...... How does it work? Although his education had always told him that it would never be a good thing, he couldn't help but want to try it when he thought of the tough physique of the Haishan natives.
"Children generally can't bear it, so they can only be used for bathing," said the old shaman with great reluctance, "but you are such an old man, I suggest you drink it directly." ”
"What did she say?" Han Jianfei reluctantly heard the word "drink" and asked vigilantly.
"She said let you drink it directly." Genchiko said, "I think so too. ”
Han Jianfei's face changed suddenly: "I won't drink this kind of thing from an unknown source......"
"It's okay if you don't drink, whatever you want." Gentomoko didn't seem surprised at all, "However, in your current state, it's impossible for you to get to the mine." ”
Han Jianfei smiled bitterly: "Then at least let me die clearly, I want to know what poisoned me......"
The old shaman seemed to be very impressed by the cowardice of the man in front of him, grinned his dry lips, showed two teeth that had not yet fallen, and grinned: "Ominous person, I can't imagine that there is something else you will be afraid of. ”
Han Jianfei didn't understand her words, and he didn't pay attention to her, he opened the jar, and through the glimmer of the morning light, he saw that it contained some viscous translucent liquid, which looked a little like honey, but smelled a strong smell of herbs mixed with the sour soup of pickled vegetables.
"So, are you sure this thing can be drunk?" Han Jianfei frowned.
It's not that he cares about the smell of this jar of liquid, he drank urine in order to survive on the battlefield back then, but when he thought that this was a medicine prepared by this primitive civilization with something unknown, he was a little uncomfortable.
"I can drink it." Genchiko was a little impatient, "I won't lie to you. ”
Forget it, I don't want to think so much! Han Jianfei lowered his heart, picked up the jar, and drank it all.
"Hey......" Genchiko was about to stretch out his hand to stop him, but when he saw him cooing, he couldn't stop at all, so he had to put down his hand, "Forget it, just drink it." ”
The potion smelled terrible, but it wasn't too unpleasant in the mouth, only the sweetness of some herbs, but the taste was very peculiar and viscous, but the entrance seemed to turn into gas in an instant.
In Han Jianfei's memory, it seemed that only a kind of distilled fruit wine abundant on the planet of the Seventh Frontier had this magical taste of turning into mist in the mouth.
"What's wrong?" Putting down the jar, Han Jianfei wiped his mouth.
"It's okay, I want to tell you, this thing is too strong, you have to drink it with water, or ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Han Jianfei rolled his eyes, and Gu Dong fell to the ground and fell asleep.
“…… It's easy to get drunk,......," Genchiko said.
The old shaman burst out laughing, like a child who had taken advantage of the neighbor's child.
There is no magic bullet in this world, and if there is, it has been studied by such a developed modern medicine a long time ago.
This is Han Jianfei's opinion on this can of liquid before this.
But when he woke up from the morning light and looked at Genchiko sitting at the door, he suddenly didn't think so.
It seems that this strange potion of the Hedong clan may really have some magical effects that cannot be explained by modern science, at least he feels that the whole person is a lot lighter now.
I just don't know if it's an illusion or if that witch-like potion really works.
"How long did I sleep?" Rubbing his somewhat dazed head, Han Jianfei sat up.
"It's almost a routine, it's not bad," Hearing his voice, Genchiko turned around, "Fortunately, you are in good health, last time someone drank all the jars in one gulp, and slept for a long day and night." ”
A long day and night on the Seamount is about 15 to 20 days in Fort Augustus, and Han Jianfei said that it was already a miracle that the man did not die.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that he was trained in anti-narcotics and psychotropic drugs when he was young! He thought.
"So what exactly does this medicine do?"
Genchiko curled the corners of her mouth slightly: "Come with me, you'll know soon." ”
The two of them ate something casually except for the house, and Zhizi took Han Jianfei to a field in the northeast of the village, which seemed to be the place where the half-grown children who were about to become adults connected with hunting skills, and those children were practicing in pairs with pointless wooden spears and swords.
It's just that the intensity of this training seems to be a little ruthless, and even Han Jianfei, a veteran who has crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, feels that it is inappropriate.
If these children are real guys, after a sparring session, it is likely that there will be two fewer prospective hunters in the village who are about to become adults.
Even with wooden weapons, the children in the field were still beaten with bruises and swollen faces.
Han Jianfei walked all the way, only feeling that his steps were light, and after bearing the super gravity for such a long time, it seemed that he had suddenly returned to a comfortable low-gravity environment.
"By the way," Han Jianfei asked Gen Zhizi, who was leading the way in front, "Are these children training like this every day?" I don't remember when they looked like they were hurt. ”
Gentomoko said, "The potion you drink has a miraculous effect on the recovery of external injuries and bruises, and they have been using that to soak them since they were children. ”
Han Jianfei suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Doesn't that potion make people's physique stronger, double their strength, and react quickly?" He asked with some humility.
"I didn't say that," Tomoko glanced back at him, "on the contrary, it makes you feel light and slow, but it's amazingly resilient and, most importantly...... The senses will become duller. ”
I don't know if it's the effect of the drug, but before Han Jianfei could react, Zhizi suddenly stopped and said, "It's here." ”
Only then did Han Jianfei notice that the two were standing in a sand pit at this time.
Gentomoko took off the saber she strapped around her waist and removed a long whip from the wooden frame next to the bunker.
"What are you going to do?" Han Jianfei finally sensed that something was wrong, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the long whip in the barefoot girl's hand swing, and the whip slashed a graceful arc and hit him his left shoulder.
The whip came straight to his face, not too fast, and he usually only had to turn sideways slightly to dodge it, but this time he only barely tilted his head so as not to leave a whip mark directly on his face.
"Don't hide, stand firm!" Genchiko shouted.
At the place where the whip hit, a red whip mark quickly appeared, and the whip penetrated into his body, but Han Jianfei didn't feel any pain.
Han Jianfei finally understood what the potion was for.
It was a miraculous potion that would reduce his pain sensation to the extreme, but it had not yet had a major effect on his nerves and consciousness.
It just seems like the reaction is a little slower than usual.
"Smack!" With the swift swing of Gen Zhizi's right hand holding the whip, another whip fell, and Han Jianfei was hit by this powerful whip and staggered back a few steps.
"Stand firm, this kind of striking exercise, only some skin trauma, potion can make you recover quickly." Tomoko said, but the whip in his hand never stopped.
Han Jianfei finally understood what Tomoko meant by "exercise exercise", which was to allow him to form firmer muscles and skin after repeated resistance training with reduced sensory acuity.
It doesn't sound like it makes sense, but Han Jianfei knows that this method may really work.
So he stood firmly in the sand pit, except when the whip came straight to his face, he only stood firmly, did not dodge or dodge, and let the leather whip be whipped on his body.
It didn't hurt that much anyway, he thought, at least it was much lighter than when he was training to resist interrogation.
After a few rounds, Han Jianfei didn't have a piece of flesh and skin on his body.
But the strange thing is that although the body is covered with red whip marks, there is no broken skin, and this kind of hitting "exercise" method also requires extremely ingenious skills, and not everyone can master it casually.
At this time, Zhizi stopped the whip and said to Han Jianfei, "Let's get here here today." ”
Zhizi didn't exaggerate the effect of the potion, and by the end of this cycle, the whip marks on Han Jianfei's body were almost better.
But what greeted him was Tomoko's more "ferocious" "exercise".
The first time was a whip, the second time was a slightly thicker wooden stick, after that, almost every cycle of work and rest, Han Jianfei had to go to the training ground to receive a beating, and he was not allowed to dodge and counterattack, the only change was that the thing that hit him changed from the original leather whip to a wooden spear about the thickness of a barefoot girl's arm, and Han Jianfei also began to be allowed to block with arms, shoulders, calves and other parts.
According to Gen Chiko, the duration of this potion is only about five work and rest cycles, so every five work and rest cycles, Han Jianfei had to drink that strange potion again, and then after a coma of the entire work and rest cycle, he found that the scars on his body had completely healed.
Then go through more rigorous anti-strike training.
It wasn't until a long day and night passed again that Tomoko finally stopped "exercising" on him.
