Chapter 2 Tripterygium wilfordii
Hearing the word "leprosy", the bride was unusually calm, there was no trace of fear on her face, she just looked back at the entourage, the entourage was hairy by her, and when she stretched out her hand, she took a step back vigilantly and asked, "Miss, what do you want to do?" ”
The bride's hand was beaten.
She tried to untie his clothes, but his clothes were in tatters, and only a few rags were left to hide his shame.
Better do it than wish it done.
The bride withdrew her hand, and looked down at herself, and although the red dress had been soaked in the seawater, it had been dried and was still fresh, so she stretched out her hand to herself—
"Miss, what do you want to do?"
It is terrifying for a young and beautiful young lady to untie someone else's wide clothes, but it is also terrible to untie her own wide clothes.
The entourage shouted in a trembling voice, and the bride had already "brushed" and tore off the corner of the red wedding dress to cover her head and face, leaving only a pair of eyes, which were all beautiful in the stars, sun, moon and sea, and the entourage couldn't help but wander, and when she came back to her senses, the bride had already walked to the stone where his son was sitting.
The entourage hurriedly chased after him: "Miss, don't get close!" ”
The bride did not listen to his advice, strode forward, stood in front of the child, and squatted down.
Two people with their heads and faces wrapped in them, close at hand, looking at each other.
It's a woman's scarf!
The bride looked at the son in front of her and marveled in her heart.
"I have leprosy, it's contagious, Miss hurry up and go away." The voice of a very nice young man, a little cold, but also very warm.
The bride didn't listen to the persuasion, and tore off a piece of clothing and put it on her hand with a "brush", and then she stretched out her hand and removed the scarf on the child's face-
The attendant ran over and tried to stop him, but he was so shocked by the bride's concentration that he couldn't speak.
The bride saw the young man's face clearly, with bright red spots, some the size of soybeans and some the size of peanuts, scattered on the puffy face of the child.
She lifted Childe's neckline again, looked at his neck, and then lifted his sleeve to look at his arm—
The red spots one after another are shocking.
She watched for a long time, and the son waited patiently for her to finish, then tidied up her clothes, wrapped the scarf around her head and face again, and said, "Miss, can you go?" ”
His voice trembled a little, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was enduring pain.
"I'll cure leprosy." The bride said simply.
Childe's eyes flashed.
The bride had already stood up, removed the red cloth from her hand and threw it at his feet, and turned to look for her attendants.
I don't know what she said to the entourage, but the retinue looked over to Childe, who nodded at him, and the attendant followed the bride away.
Watching the girl in red and the beggar-like retinue walk across the reef and across the beach towards the dense forest, Childe was noncommittal, retracting his gaze and watching the sea and the sunset.
She said that if she could cure it, she would let her cure, not because she believed in her, nor because she was greedy for life, but because she didn't want the process of waiting for death to be too boring.
I've been on this desert island for I don't know how long, it's so boring!
The retinue led the bride through most of the valley of the island, and finally stopped.
The bride pointed to a bush in the valley where there were vines two or three meters long, and said, "Go and pick that clump of thunder vine, it can cure leprosy." ”
But the attendants refused.
The rhizome of the vine was cylindrical, yellowish-brown, rough and twisted.
He recognized.
"What thunder wilford, this is obviously a broken intestine grass, and it is very poisonous!" The attendant looked at the bride dissatisfied, "You want to poison my son-in-law!" ”
Childe just let him save her life, and she took revenge to poison him, this girl is so ruthless.
The attendant took a step back vigilantly, but his feet slipped and fell from the stone where he was standing, just beside the thunder vine.
The bride stood on the stone and looked at her entourage condescendingly: "Pick down that thunder vine, and I will pull you up." ”
As he spoke, he plucked a few vines from the bushes on the side and joined them together, tied one end to the big tree, and grabbed the other end in his hand and shook it, shaking his followers dizzy.
A wild bird flew by, and was quickly grabbed by his attendant, and he plucked a few shoots of the thunder vine and fed them into the wild bird's beak, and the bird flapped its wings a few times, and it died.
The attendant was annoyed, looked up at the bride, and the wild bird in his hand also raised in protest.
The bride shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity, there was roast bird meat to eat at night." ”
The bride said, throwing down the vines and turning to leave.
The attendant shouted, "Hey, where are you going?" ”
"Since you don't want to cure your son-in-law's illness, you don't need to come up, I hate Gu En's betrayal the most in my life!"
"Am I still not good at picking?"
The entourage thought to himself, go up first and then say, if you pick it, you can still throw it away.
When the entourage held a few thunder vines in his hands, and climbed up from the bottom of the valley with the vines thrown down by the bride, the bride's eyes fell on the thunder vines in his hand, and said: "Poisonous or not, whether to eat or not, your son-in-law has the final say." ”
The entourage was stunned, and he couldn't refute it, so he could only grab Lei Gongteng and follow the bride out of the valley.
Back in the cave where he and Childe lived, it was already dark.
A bonfire has been lit in the cave, and it is bright and warm.
When the attendant and the son said that "the broken intestine grass is poisonous and cannot be eaten", the bride ignored them, cut a handful of thunder wilfordii with her own knife, put it in a clay pot, added water, and placed it on the fire to fry.
Gradually, there was a smell of medicine in the cave.
Both the retinue and the son stopped talking and looked at the bride decocting the medicine.
After about a few hours, the bride finally poured out a bowl of black medicinal soup from the clay pot and brought it to the son.
The attendant said: "Childe, or, let ...... first"
"No, you don't." Childe interrupted the entourage, generously took the medicine bowl from the bride's hand, and drank all the soup in one go.
The bride's gaze swept over the retinue and the childe, chewed on the conversation they had just had, and looked around the cave again, could it be that there were others in this cave?
Childe drank the medicine, and the entourage was worried and looking forward to it, although they did not believe that the bride could really cure leprosy, but they still hoped for a miracle.
However, the entourage was a little desperate, there was no miracle, and after taking the medicine, the son vomited and discharged, and the pain was unbearable, and finally he passed out.
Seeing that the son was unconscious, the entourage was furious, and reached out and grabbed the bride's neck.
The tender, white neck could be broken in his rough palm.
The bride didn't look scared at all, she looked at him, her hands slowly grasped his wrists, the corners of her lips hooked, and there was a smile-
The entourage gradually changed his face, only to feel a strange force rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and as if pouring down from the top of his head, oppressing the internal organs and limbs and hundreds of remains-
It was so painful that he felt that every bone in his body was about to be crushed, and the bride let go of the hand that was holding his wrist in time, and he also stepped back like an electric shock, looking at the bride in disbelief.
The bride had already walked to the medicine pot and sat down, continued to cut the wilfordii with a knife, put it in the clay pot, added water, and placed it on the bonfire—
It's as if nothing happened just now.
