Chapter 164: It's better to die than to live
When Li Jicai woke up in a daze, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw himself lying in a strange place, what kind of place is this? Why is it a little different from what she expected?
She remembered that at the end of the day, wasn't she dragged away by those bandits?
It was bright outside, and the light still made her feel very uncomfortable, and her frowns were a little resistant.
There was a "squeak", and there was a sound of the door being pushed open, and someone walked in. Li Jicai tensed his body on guard, he didn't dare to move, and his breathing slowed down, sounding like he was falling into a deep sleep.
Hearing the footsteps of the other party very soft, he walked very slowly, slowly walked to Li Jicai's bedside, then sat down, and took off the medicine box he was carrying.
The other party's body has a faint scent of grass, this smell is very similar to when Li Jicai stayed with Dr. Wang, is it a doctor?
The other party gently took out her arm from the quilt and rolled her sleeve up slightly, ready to give Li Jicai a pulse.
has been taken care of by the doctor for a long time, Li Jicai is quite cooperative, and after the doctor has finished the diagnosis and treatment, Li Jicai suddenly opened his eyes.
Doctor Shi was taken aback by Li Jicai and almost didn't stand up, but after thinking that she couldn't move now and was not threatening, he stopped panicking, approached Li Jicai slightly with concern, and then asked carefully: "Girl, are you better?" You're badly injured, don't move for now. ”
Li Jicai saw that he was a very kind old man, and the vigilance in his eyes was much more restrained, but he still didn't take off his guard, looking at the other party's age, he estimated that he was sixty years old, the goat's beard hung down and was a little cute, and he was kind and kind, which gave Li Jicai a good impression.
It's a pity that her throat hurts so much for the time being that she can't speak, she really wants to ask this doctor-looking grandfather directly, where is this place, is it in the village of the mountain bandits, or did the mountain bandits abandon her, and then she was fortunately picked up by the old grandfather?
Thinking that this might be the result, Li Jicai couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Doctor Shi didn't know what Li Jicai was thinking, and seeing her sad face, he thought he was worried about his condition.
"Girl, don't be sad, this disease can still be cured, it can be cured!" Doctor Shi thought that she might be lamenting the sadness of her life, so she looked depressed and sad.
Li Jicai wanted to speak, but she couldn't say it, the cushion under her body didn't know what material it was, she only felt an itch on her back when she slept, the itch was maddening, and the quilt covered with her body was also dull and heavy, like an old dead quilt. Look at the facilities in this room, there are tables and stools, and everything is complete.
Li Jicai didn't know that this Doctor Shi's residence was very good because of his "performance", and the mountain bandits treated him well, plus every time he robbed any medicinal materials and medicines, they were all handed over to Doctor Shi to take care of.
"Doctor! Doctor! ”
Just when Dr. Shi was quietly examining Li Jicai's wounds, applying medicine, and comforting her, a shout suddenly came from the door, which sounded very rough.
Doctor Shi heard someone shouting at him outside, so he quickly stood up, then smiled apologetically at Li Jicai, and walked outside, carefully opened the door when he walked to the door, and then responded to the other party.
Li Jicai didn't hear what Dr. Shi said clearly, but he heard what the big voice said.
"Two brothers were bitten by xx on the mountain, come and see! Hurry up! What was bitten Li Jicai didn't hear clearly, but when he heard the words "brother" and "mountain", Li Jicai couldn't help but feel secretly excited in his heart, could it mean that she was already in the mountain bandit village at this moment? In fact, she has already been taken up the mountain?
Doctor Shi answered, and then returned to Li Jicai's approach, picked up the medicine box he had put down earlier, and told Li Jicai that he would be back immediately, and then walked out of the door and gently closed the door, and then left.
Later, when Dr. Shi came back, Li Jicai also relieved himself and asked him, which was indeed confirmed.
But in the past few days that she has been in a coma, there is still half of the time agreed with Jiang Xihu, and Li Jicai is still slightly anxious.
She found that things were not as simple as she thought, and it was naïve to want to set a fire on the mountain and reveal the location of the bandits.
Not to mention that it will cause mountain fires, it has rained several times in the mountains and forests in the past few days, and the ground is wet, and when Dr. Shi sometimes comes in, his feet will be stained with muddy water, and then Li Jicai will ask him if it is raining outside?
Doctor Shi told Li Jicai that during this time, it would rain from time to time in the mountains and forests, mostly at night, and it would rain non-stop.
The water flowing down the mountain is all merged into a stream, which makes the mountain road even more difficult to walk.
Not counting the rain, I didn't see the whole picture of the bandit's house, but it seemed to be made of many stones, and it was very strong. If you want to burn a fire, you must have at least a lot of oil, but where is there any oil in this ancient world?
Li Jicai heard Dr. Shi talk about the situation outside every day, but she couldn't get out of bed by herself, Dr. Shi gave her bones back, and patiently and carefully treated Li Jicai, feeling sorry for her being a poor person, and delivering meals on time and on time every day, and even Li Jicai now sleeps in this room is given to her by Dr. Shi.
Li Jicai found it hard to imagine that she could meet such a good person in this mountain bandit village.
Except for Dr. Shi, Li Jicai couldn't see anyone else, and more often he was outside listening to the sound of those people shouting, and he didn't know what they were busy with, and he had no way of knowing the situation outside.
She wanted to find an opportunity to go out, and then make some small gestures, preferably to be able to pass on the news to Jiang Xihu, otherwise there would be no point for her to come here.
Before that, Li Jicai still focused all his attention on Dr. Shi, who had been here for a long time and was able to give her enough information.
On this day, when Dr. Shi came to deliver medicine to himself at night, Li Jicai deliberately asked something from Dr. Shi's mouth, and he didn't have to guess back and forth, and he couldn't guess anything accurately.
The sky outside darkened quickly, and the condensation in the air was cold to the tip of her nose, Li Jicai buried half of her face in the quilt, and after sleeping for a few days, she was used to the smell of the dead quilt.
A bowl of gruel, a little black pickled wild vegetables on top, and a bowl of steaming medicinal soup with an unpleasant smell, this is the process that Li Jicai has to go through every night. Even if she wanted to dump all this, but there was nowhere to dump it, the bitter Li Jicai wanted to cry without tears.
She began to miss the days when she stayed with Dr. Wang, at least Dr. Wang never brought medicinal soup to let her drink, Dr. Wang's attitude was very self-conscious, and the original words he said to Li Jicai were: "Do you like to drink or not, don't drink and pull down." If it was such a doctor, Li Jicai would still be able to go back hard, so he wouldn't drink it, but in the face of this kind and soft-eyed old man, Li Jicai really couldn't refuse, not only couldn't refuse, but also had to be respectfully grateful to others.
"Doctor Shi, I'm sorry for you." When the fixed time came every night, Li Jicai looked at Dr. Shi who pushed the door in, a little afraid, but he still forced out a smile on his pale and bloodless face, although this smile was really reluctant.
The house is lit with a short candle half a knuckle long, which can only be burned for a short time every night, and there is no more when it is burned, and the mountain still cherishes the lighting supplies such as candles, because there is only one doctor in the whole bandit village, so his treatment is relatively better.
"Girl, you're feeling better today." Doctor Shi approached Li Jicai's side and asked with concern.
Li Jicai smiled and nodded, but his eyes flickered a little, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to arouse Doctor Shi to take the initiative to ask, so that he could not speak.
"What's wrong? But what's wrong? Doctor Shi saw Li Jicai's face was embarrassed, and he didn't doubt him, but he thought there was something difficult.
"Doctor, I've been here for a few days, where is this? You say it's in the mountains? Li Jicai pretended to be puzzled and said, she didn't say where her family lived, because she was miserable when she was acting, and she was kidnapped by two men.
Doctor Shi was stunned when he heard Li Jicai's words, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
I didn't want to talk about such a topic, but I couldn't avoid Li Jicai's burning gaze.
"Hey, girl, I've heard of your origins, you're a miserable man, but as soon as you got out of the tiger's den, you went into the wolf's den again!" Doctor Shi patted his thigh sadly and shook his head again and again.
Li Jicai had already guessed, so she wasn't too excited, she couldn't show her feet in front of Dr. Shi, she could only pretend to be a poor and dull woman.
"Great, doctor, what do you mean by this?" Li Jicai said with a face full of trepidation and uneasiness.
Doctor Shi raised his head, saw that her face was full of sadness and confusion, and he didn't dare to frighten her too much, and he considered her words and prepared to speak.
But where do we start?
"Girl, I'll tell you straight, don't be afraid..."
He has treated many women, many of whom died on the pillar when they learned that they had strayed into the bandit village and could not escape, and died violently on the spot, which was very pitiful.
Some of them have not been sent to him for treatment, and many of them have already died, and those women are really some chaste martyrs, all of them are women from good families, and they are undoubtedly forced to become prostitutes when they enter the cottage, where can there be a way to live.
Therefore, when Li Jicai was tied into the cottage at the beginning, the direct reason why he didn't tell her directly was here, I hope Li Jicai can think a little more and slowly accept this reality, after all, it is better to die than to live.
