Chapter 138: The Patient with a Knife Wound
It was late at night, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the innkeeper brought Di Renjie a charcoal brazier, and the room became warmer!
The candle flame flickered, reflecting the faces of Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, flickering bright and dark!
"What are you going to do, sir?" Li Yuanfang asked!
Di Renjie grabbed the tongs and fiddled with the charcoal in the brazier, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Yuan Fang, you set off now, immediately rush to Zuduo City, to find the caravan of Spiru, but remember, don't be discovered by them, secretly investigate, in addition, if they are in danger, you must do your best to help, but you must not reveal your identity!" ”
"Sir, this is not good, you are now in the Turks, not as big as us, but here is full of dangers? I have to stay with you and protect you! Li Yuanfang said nervously!
"Hahaha! Yuan Fang, it doesn't matter, you're gone, aren't there still Chang Ping and Chang An? Besides, we came to the Turks just to find out the whereabouts of Liu Maoyuan's army, which will not reveal my identity, and besides, if no one knows about our departure from Shuozhou, what danger will there be? Di Renjie laughed!
"But what if? No, I'm still not at ease! Li Yuanfang said categorically!
"Okay, don't do it, let's go, if it's late, I'm afraid this Spyrus's caravan won't be easy to find, if that Spyrus and that kid are really Shalkin and Ashinazin, then figuring out their purpose is much more important than protecting me, a bad old man?" Hehehe! Di Renjie said with a smile!
Li Yuanfang thought about it again and again, and seeing that Di Renjie was so resolute, he could only agree, hugged his fist to Di Renjie, said goodbye, went back to the room to pack up his baggage, and left Heisha City overnight, and went straight to Zuduo City!
Early the next morning, Di Renjie and the others got up one after another and sat in the hall of the small inn to eat breakfast!
"Hey, Di Chun, where is Brother Li? Why didn't you get up for breakfast? He's not a sleeper, is he? Su Jin asked while eating Hu Biscuits!
"Is your big brother Li a lazy sleeper, he didn't sleep at all, and left last night!" Di Chun chewed on the cake and said!
"What? Let's go? Su Jin threw the Hu cake in his hand on the table and asked anxiously, "Where did Brother Li go?" ”
Di Chun, Chang Ping, and Chang An looked at Su Jin's anxious appearance, and they all lowered their heads and snickered!
"Oh, what are you laughing at? Where did Brother Li go? Su Jin asked angrily!
"Okay, okay, Su Jin, I asked Yuan Fang to do some errands, I need to leave for a few days, don't worry, he will be back in a few days!" Di Renjie said!
"Oh, this Li Damu, it's true, he won't say goodbye to me when he leaves, and when he comes back, I have to settle accounts with him! The three of you laughed and ate! Su Jin threw a piece of cake at Di Chun and said resentfully!
After a few people finished eating, Di Renjie said: "Let's go to this street for a while, and take a look at the customs of this small city in the north of the desert!" ”
"Good!" Su Jin responded excitedly!
Di Renjie held the bamboo flag, Di Chun, Chang Ping followed behind left and right, Chang An accompanied Su Jin not far behind him, looking left and right, Su Jin, who had recovered women's clothing, felt that everything on the street was very novel, and from time to time picked up this and put down that, although Chang An was a hundred reluctant in his heart, he could only follow helplessly!
"This gentleman, are you Langzhong?" A Hu man stopped Di Renjie and asked!
"yes, what? Do you ask for a doctor? Di Renjie asked with a smile!
"Exactly! It's my father, who suddenly fell unconscious when he came back from the mountain, I wonder if my husband can heal him? The Hu man asked!
"Let's go, take me there!" Di Renjie's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said!
After passing through a few alleys, Di Renjie followed the Hu man to his house, which was a house facing the street, the yard was on the north side of the house, and when the door was opened, it was the street, and the back door was connected to the yard!
When the Hu people opened the door, a thick smell came to their nostrils, Di Renjie was not surprised, because these Hu people are used to eating cattle and sheep, so these Hu people's homes are mostly the smell of cattle and sheep!
The room is not big, there is a kang against the north wall, and there is an old man lying on the kang, his hair is messy, his face is pale, and he is lying there straight, like a gossamer!
"Sir, please show me, my father has been like this for three days!" Hu Ren said with a sad expression!
"Hmmm! Okay, don't worry, let me see! Di Renjie comforted!
Di Renjie walked to the side of the kang, sat beside the old man, grabbed the old man's arm, and took the pulse!
Gradually, Di Renjie frowned, and after a while, Di Renjie put the old man's arm back into the quilt, reached out to pick open the old man's eyelids, and carefully examined it!
"Hiss......" Di Renjie couldn't help but gasp!
"How's it going, sir? Can you cure it? Hu Ren asked anxiously!
"Is it poisoning?" Di Renjie didn't answer the Hu man's words, his expression was solemn, and he stroked his beard and talked to himself!
After a while, Di Renjie suddenly turned to the Hu man and asked, "Does your father have any external injuries?" ”
"No?" Hu Ren hesitated, "Oh, by the way, my father scratched his calf a few days ago, but it's already healed?" The wounds are healed! ”
"Oh? Quick, lift the covers, I'm going to see the wound! Di Renjie said suddenly!
Hu Ren was a little puzzled, but he still opened the quilt, and as soon as the quilt was lifted, everyone was stunned, and the old man in the quilt retreated a blood red!
"What's going on? Where did the blood come from? Hu Ren asked in horror!
"Which leg is injured, roll up your pants!" Di Renjie hurriedly said!
Hu Ren rolled up the pants on his father's right leg, revealing his calf, and sure enough, there was a scar on the old man's calf, but the originally healed scar had a crack at the moment, and he couldn't help but bleed, and there were maggots on the wound!
"What's going on? I didn't have a quilt for him last night? This, what can I do? "Hu Ren is in a hurry!
"Look at this scar, your father should have suffered a knife wound, is the knife that cut your father still there? Take it out and I'll see it! Di Renjie asked!
"This ......" Hu Ren hesitated a little, revealing a look of embarrassment!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find it? Is your father's life at stake? Di Renjie urged!
"Alas! Well, sir, wait a minute! So saying, the bearded man pushed the door open and ran to the backyard, and after a while he returned to the house with something wrapped in a black cloth!
Hu Ren opened the black cloth, Di Renjie and the three of them were stunned for a moment, what Hu Ren took was a steel knife used by the Great Zhou army, but this knife did not have a scabbard, the blade was sharp, and it still shone cold in the sun!
"What? Your father was cut by this knife? Di Renjie asked!
"Exactly!" Hu Ren replied!
Di Renjie didn't have time to think about it, took the steel knife, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then said: "This knife is poisonous!" ”
"What? Poisonous? It can't be, right? Hu Ren asked in surprise!
