Chapter Seventy-Three: The Village of Ragai

The next morning, everyone woke up in turn, I sat by the campfire all night, my chest was about to be heated, my back was as cold as iron, this taste was very uncomfortable, I got up and sneezed, rubbed my nose and asked Chen Yun for cold medicine.

She said that there is no cold medicine, the medicines we brought are all life-saving, we must save some, you can buy herbs from Uncle Heza if you have a cold.

I smiled bitterly and said I don't know if this old brother is willing to sell me herbs.

After dawn, the wind and rain subsided, and there was a clear sky overhead, with a warm warm sun shining down, and it was cut into pieces in the shade of the trees. The mountain stream was in disarray after experiencing the brilliance of the storm, with bursts of mist diffusing from the ground, looking up, the sky was blue and white, and there was a strong contrast with the ravines full of five loves.

I found Uncle Hesa, who was about to leave, and asked him if yesterday's appointment counted. He told me that if we really wanted to buy herbs, we could follow him into the village, but on one condition, we should never take the girl we picked up halfway back.

Xiao Zhang was anxious and interjected, "Uncle Hesa, can't you do well and be kind?" She was so sick that she was in a coma all night, and the high fever had not subsided, what if she was thrown outside and died? ”

The fellow said, "Little brother, it's not that I'm ruthless, it's really that the people in Li Zhai can't deal with it, I still want to live for a few more years, what should I do if I provoke that group of people?" ”

Lao Zhong said that you took the girl back to the village to save people, how could you provoke them, or else, I will call the shots and add 500 yuan to your medical expenses, will this be okay?

Uncle Hesa was tempted, the slogan shouted louder, after all, it was not as affordable as Grandpa Mao, we added up to invest more than a thousand dollars in him, everyone's heart is flesh long, not to mention that the edges and corners of the new version of the RMB are so sharp, how can there be a psychological defense line that cannot be broken?

He said, I want a thousand, and if I agree, I will treat her in the village, and I have medicinal herbs at home, which can cure her injuries, and I won't do it without this number!

I grabbed Uncle Hesa's hand and said with an excited face, saying that you are really warm-hearted, and you will not find a good person in ten lifetimes.

I don't know if he understands it, anyway, this fellow is very dark-skinned, and even if he is red, I can't see it.

For the rest of the journey, we made a simple stretcher and placed the girl who was still unconscious on it. After receiving the money, Uncle Hesa became enthusiastic and offered to help us carry the stretcher, he said that the road conditions in the mountains are more complicated, and the road surface was slippery due to the heavy rain last night, and what should I do if I accidentally hurt this aunt.

I said you should be careful.

He patted his chest and said yes, I'm the most enthusiastic person, how can I watch this little girl die and don't care.

The sun shines on the faces of the villagers who are full of simplicity and honesty, and I am moved to tears.

After the rainstorm, there are many collapsed places in the deep mountains, in order to avoid danger, Uncle Heza led us on a long detour, the miasma in the forest is too heavy, these miasma are the formation of dead branches mixed with soil decay, which is not the same as the fog that is usually seen, too much breathing will paralyze people's lungs and nervous system, and a serious one will lead to suffocation.

There is a lot of fog in southern Xinjiang, and we still have this preparation, but in order to avoid arousing Uncle Hesa's suspicion, we did not take out the breathing mask, but adopted a more stupid method, soaked a towel with spring water, covered our faces and breathed carefully.

Uncle Hesa laughed at us for being confused, and said to everyone, don't look at me as a mountain man with no knowledge, but I also know that wherever you are bitten by a poisonous snake, there must be a herb that can cure snake venom within ten steps, you don't have to bother so much, I will go and pick a few leaves in front of me, chew them and put them in my mouth, and it will be fine.

I mean, it's really that amazing? Uncle Hesa said don't believe me, I have lived in southern Xinjiang for more than 40 years, and the experience accumulated by my ancestors over the years should not be underestimated.

After saying that, he handed me the stretcher, ran into a barren haystack deep in the mountains, pouted his ass and picked up the haystack, and soon picked up a handful of knitted leaves for us.

Uncle Heza said, "This serpentine grass is the nemesis of all poisonous miasma, but it is also poisonous itself, and it cannot be used directly in the mouth under normal circumstances, and can only be used when the miasma in the ground is diffused in foggy weather." ”

We are all skeptical, there is no scientific proof of things, it is better to be cautious, but the old bell is more bold, take the leaf and put it in his mouth.

Ge Zhuang asked him secretly, "Old Zhong, why did you eat the leaves and diarrhea?" Lao Zhong glanced at him and said You know a ball, forget that Lao Tzu fought in Southern Xinjiang before? This fellow is right.

Ge Zhuang muttered, "Since you know this method, why don't you take the initiative to tell us?" "Lao Zhong said that this method is effective, can alleviate the miasma, but the serpentine itself is also poisonous, get less, this thing contains more tongue numbness, will paralyze the respiratory tract, there are many local drug dealers, if you are guilty of a big cigarette addiction, you will find this kind of leaf in the mouth to chew, with * the same urine, you haven't tried, it's best not to try it easily.

As we spoke, we saw a small hidden village under the col from a distance, all low stilted buildings, sitting crookedly between the mountains, surrounded by three mountains, surrounded by this mountain stream.

Uncle Hesa's house was in front of us, through a forest, and we walked down a path carved out of the mountain wall in the mountains, the road was slippery in the rain, and the stones under our feet were covered with moss, and if we were not careful, we would have to fall down the mountain stream to meet Marx's report, so we walked very carefully.

This cliff path, it is difficult to even turn around, let alone carry a stretcher, Xiao Zhang took the initiative to ask Ying, proposing that he could carry this Li girl down the mountain, Ge Zhuang spat on the ground, and said that you are provincial, don't fall off the cliff with your sister in your arms for a while, her parents can't find you to talk to you? Come on, the fat man suffers a little, let me carry her down.

I said goodbye, fat man, you are too strong, and the lower plate is unstable, so let's hand it over to Lao Zhong, there is still a road ahead, I am afraid that you will be out of breath if you don't walk halfway.

Finally, I got off the cliff, and in the distance, I saw a little girl in patched clothes standing at the entrance of the village and waving to us, speaking in the local dialect.

"Eh......" Ge Zhuang saw that the little girl was carved in pink and jade, and she looked very cute, so he responded sweetly. Uncle Hesa's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and reminded Ge Zhuang, "The person Nizi shouted is me, this is the village of Lagai, and it is also my homeland, friends from afar, you are welcome to come as guests!" ”
