Chapter 403: Herbs
Tao Yuan frowned, looked at the blood that kept flowing out of her fingers, subconsciously put her fingers into her mouth, inhaled deeply, and instantly her mouth was filled with the taste of blood, she was very disliked, and her brows furrowed even deeper.
Seeing that there was no movement in the kitchen, the old man was puzzled, so he came in and took a look, and when he saw that she was holding a finger, he asked aloud, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
Tao Yuan hurriedly withdrew his fingers from his mouth, instinctively waved his hand back, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I accidentally cut vegetables and cut my fingers." ”
The old man saw the kitchen knife on the cutting board, and there were blood stains on the blade: "Come here, it's injured, you have to bandage it, otherwise you will get tetanus, you have to be careful." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his dry hand and took Tao Kite's arm, and went out of the kitchen, and led her into a room on the left-hand side, which was dark and dark, and he couldn't see the five fingers when he stretched out his hand.
Because the surroundings are very tightly blocked by black cloth, there is no way to let in the light.
Tao Yuan was suspicious, since she entered the house and saw this old man, she felt strange, obviously looking at a very ordinary old man, but she could see at a glance where she came from, especially the conversation and behavior were very extraordinary, and even led her into the hut, she asked a faint smell of medicine.
I couldn't help frowning deeply, and I guessed a lot in my heart.
The old man didn't seem to care about her doubts, and directly lit a small oil lamp, and through the dim light, he could see the situation in the room clearly, medicinal materials, all kinds of them, some of them were very rare, the medicine bottles were placed very neatly, the medicine pestle and medicine jar were there, the small rod scale, and some neatly packed prescriptions, as well as a few colorful pills scattered on the table.
When Tao Yuan saw this scene, the doubts in his eyes deepened, and he looked at the old man with puzzled eyes, and he didn't feel good when he opened his mouth to ask something, so he suppressed all the doubts in his heart.
The old man had no intention of explaining, so he pulled her to a chair and sat down, took out the gold sore medicine and the white cloth for bandaging from the drawer, and beckoned, "Come, stick your finger out." ”
Tao Kite stretched out her injured finger and put it on the old man's hand, she felt that the old man's hand was very cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.
As if he hadn't noticed, the old man carefully followed the light of the burning lamp oil, poured the medicine one by one, and in an instant the bleeding was stopped, and then took the white cloth, tore a long strip of cloth, and bandaged the pottery kite round and round.
The technique is very skilled, as if he often does this work.
Tao Yuan couldn't help but say, "Old man, were you a doctor before?" As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at the medicinal herbs around him, and the medicinal fragrance on the tip of his nose was very strong.
"I can't remember what happened before." The old man said vaguely.
Tao Yuan instantly understood that the old man was unwilling to say it, so she would not delve into it anymore.
Just as she was about to get up and go out, the old man suddenly grabbed her wrist and said with a solemn expression: "It's not good, it's not safe in this house anymore, you have to get out of here quickly?" ”
As he spoke, he dragged Tao Kite to the back room, Tao Kite was caught off guard, her mind was very clouded, and she didn't understand how the old man knew that the house would be unsafe, but she still followed her heart, believing that the old man would not hurt her.
When he came to the back room, Fu Yin looked at them in confusion, and before he could open his mouth to say anything, he was also caught by the old man, and when he came to a corner, he saw that the old man skillfully lifted the floor tiles.
Suddenly, a dark passage of a black hole appeared.
"This?" Fu Yinxiao looked at Tao Kite inquiringly, but Tao Kite shook his head and said with a face I don't know.
The old man hurriedly said, "You all go in and hide, the mob outside is going to break in, and it will be dangerous for you to stay here." ”
When Fu Yinxiao heard this, he didn't think much about it, he directly grabbed Tao Kite's hand and jumped into the dark passage, and when he landed, he stepped on the hard and cold ground under his feet.
Tao Yuan's face was confused, all this happened too fast, so that she couldn't react in time.
There is a bright oil lamp in the dark passage, burning but no smell of oil smoke, Tao Yuan curiously walked in, smelled, and instantly understood what kind of oil lamp this is, it is a mermaid oil lamp, which can burn for thousands of years without extinguishing or extinguishing.
The mob that broke in on the street outside and searched for the traces of the pottery kite finally came to the front of the hut, violently trampled on the door, and in an instant, a lot of ordinary people came in.
looked at the old man with a questioning face.
"Say? Have you ever seen a fair-looking girl? The people at the head asked fiercely.
The old man coughed violently, his expression was dazed, his eyes were cloudy, and he asked hesitantly, "What are you talking about?" My old man has bad ears, what are you people doing when you break in? I don't have any food to grab at home, and I haven't eaten for three days. ”
He looked very frightened and pitiful.
The common people at the head looked at her suspiciously, and said in a loud voice: "We asked you if you saw a fair-looking girl, wearing a pale pink dress, looking like she came out of a rich family?" ”
The old man pretended to listen carefully, blinked his eyes, shook his head blankly, and sighed and said, "Old, really old, what are you talking about?" I don't understand a word, huh? ”
In the dark passage, Fu Yinxiao and Tao Kite snuggled together, listening carefully to the movement above, the sound was very noisy, and they couldn't hear what the people above were saying, so they gave up.
Tao Kite stood up boredly, looked, and suddenly saw a very strange-looking herb, the herbs that are usually seen are green, but this herb is blood-red all over, bright red as if blood is dripping out.
"I think I've seen this herb somewhere, but I can't remember it, but I always find it useful." Tao Kite muttered in his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to pick this medicinal herb.
When Fu Yinxiao saw this, his expression tightened, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Tao Kite's arm, and asked in a panic, "What are you doing?" ”
Seeing that the herbs grew so weird, they must be poisonous, what he thought at this time, so he was very scared when he saw Tao Kite wanting to pick the herbs.
Tao Kite turned his face sideways and looked at him and said, "Collect medicine!" "It's so natural, it's commonplace.
"Aren't you afraid that there is a problem with this herb?" Fu Yinxiao's face was slightly angry.
Tao Yuan frowned, and before she could say anything, her finger that had been cut by a kitchen knife suddenly dripped a few drops of blood and landed on the herb, and in an instant, the herb turned into a clump, and in the blink of an eye.
