The sky was already dark, Qu Xiaomo fed the golden sting a few more times with boiled water, then looked at the hour and lay down to rest, the mountain wind in the forest at night was coupled with the cries of insects and beasts outside, which was terrifying, and there was a person with unknown life and death lying beside him, saying that he was not afraid that it would be a lie, and put the long sword on the ground under the bed, Qu Xiaomo was worried for a long time, and finally did not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

The next day, I woke up and boiled water to feed the golden sting, and then tied the person to himself again, and set off again with a long sword, there is a wooden house in this mountain, which means that the place where Orion lives is not too far from here, maybe you can still find the village, but I don't know its direction, so Qu Xiaomo had to go west again.

Fortunately, after walking for nearly a day, I finally saw a village after dark for a long time, at this time every household in the village had closed their doors and blown out the lanterns to rest.

Carrying the golden sting on his back and knocking on the door, after a while there was movement in the house, through the crack in the door, I saw a faint light inside, I think it was the master who heard the sound and lit the lamp, and then there was the sound of footsteps, a slightly old voice came from the door, with a hint of caution, and said, "Who?" ”

Qu Xiaomo hurriedly replied: "Uncle, we are businessmen passing by here, my shopkeeper was poisoned while walking in the woods, and I asked the uncle to open the door and save my shopkeeper's life." "If she doesn't get treatment, I'm afraid this golden sting will really die on her back.

The people in the door didn't make a sound, and after a while, they only heard a creak, and the door was opened, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly knelt on the ground with a puff on his back, and didn't care that his knees were injured by stones, kowtowed to the people inside the door, and said, "Please save my big shopkeeper, please." ”

I only heard a slightly tired female voice coming from inside, as if asking the man, "Who is in charge, who is outside?" ”

The man replied, "Borrowed." ”

I heard the woman say again: "It's the middle of the night in our barren mountains and mountains, how can anyone borrow it?" Ask him if he has any money. ”

Before the man could speak, Qu Xiaomo hurriedly said: "I have silver, I have silver, I still have two taels of silver on me, uncle and aunt, my family's big shopkeeper, please!" I give you all the money. ”

said that she also brought a little crying, there is no way she is also wronged! came here inexplicably, and then was inexplicably dragged to forcibly serve the ice cube golden sting, and was chased and killed for so long, plus she carried him hungry and didn't know how many mountains she had climbed, could she not be wronged.

Hearing the sound of dala ladging shoes from inside the silver, a woman opened the door and came out, wearing a lining, a coarse cloth coat on the outside, with an old face, looking at the face of about fifty, and the man behind him was the same, holding an oil lamp in his hand, slightly pulling the draped clothes, holding the lamp and following the woman out of the door.

Qu Xiaomo hurriedly kowtowed to the two, took out two taels of silver from the hidden pocket of his sleeve, and said, "The little one only has two taels of silver on his body, all for the uncle and aunt, please save my family's big shopkeeper." ”

When the woman went out, she saw the long sword beside Qu Xiaomo, stopped with some hesitation, looked at the two pieces of broken silver that she was injured, and asked, "Is it really just a nightstay?" ”

"Really, please also ask my aunt to give her food on the noodles of these two taels of silver, if you can... Ask a doctor to see the shopkeeper of my family, and I will thank you afterwards. Qu Xiaomo held the silver and sincerely promised the woman a big cake, although they were now covered in mud and depressed, but at least they could see from the clothes on the golden sting's clothes and the jade crown on their heads that they were rich businessmen.

The woman pondered for a long time before she reached out and took the money, and said to the man behind her, "Old man, go and light the lamp, and clear the bed in the left room for them." ”

The man glanced at Qu Xiaomo and the knife on the ground, a little hesitant, but the woman had already collected the money, raised her hand and twisted it around her waist, pulled her face and said, "Go quickly." ”

The man had to take the lamp into the house and put it away, and then re-lit one and went to the left room to clean up, and after the woman collected the money, she asked Qu Xiaomo to get up and enter the house, and then the couple helped her put the golden sting on the bed.

Looking at the golden sting with black lips and a pale face, the man said with his eyebrows: "This little brother is poisoned, right?" ”

Qu Xiaomo nodded, and said with a begging face: "Uncle, is there a doctor here?" ”

"This doctor has to go to the county seat to invite, so late the city gate has long been closed, I hunt all year round to know some herbs, so I will feed him a bowl of detoxification grass first, and I will go into the city to ask the doctor when the old man is bright tomorrow." The man sighed and went out to find the antidote.

Qu Xiaomo bowed to them gratefully and thanked them, and the woman also turned around and walked out of the door for a while, and then came in with a few steamed buns and a bowl of pickles, and said, "There are only these things at home now, you will eat some." ”

After speaking, he said: "I'll wash it in a basin of water, and I'm looking for a piece of clothes for you to change into, but it's my man's clothes, and I'm afraid your small body is a little big." ”

Qu Xiaomo hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, thank you aunt." ”

I ate three steamed buns with pickles, drank half a bowl of tea, and waited for the aunt to boil the water, then closed the door and undressed and washed.

also wiped the golden sting and changed her clothes, naturally she just wiped the upper body, and she didn't dare to move the lower half of her body, both of them changed their clothes and came out to pour water refreshingly, and the uncle happened to have boiled the anti-poisonous weed juice and brought it over.

The two of them worked together to pour a bowl of detoxification grass juice on the golden sting, and then took the herbs and kneaded them, and applied them to the wounds on his body, and when the work was over, the uncle glanced at the golden stings on the bed, sighed and didn't say anything, only said: "Rest early, I will go into the city tomorrow to find a doctor." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Qu Xiaomo bowed to him, sent the person away, closed the door, and lay down beside Jin Yu to close his eyes and fall asleep.

Although he borrowed the night, his nerves were still tense, and there was a little noise outside in the morning, so Xiao Mo woke up, quietly got up, leaned against the door, and listened to the couple for a while, but it was the aunt who told the uncle to come back early.

Qu Xiaomo got dressed and pushed open the door and came out, just as the uncle was about to go out, so he smiled at him and said, "I'm tired of the uncle." ”

The uncle didn't say anything, nodded at her and went to the entrance of the village.

Qu Xiaomo waited for an hour after breakfast, and finally waited for the doctor, the old doctor with the beard and white hair carrying the medicine box diagnosed Jin Zhen's pulse, looked at his wound again, sighed and opened the medicine box, and said, "This is an arrow wound!" The poison on the top is easy to detoxify, but I didn't have time to detoxify when I was poisoned, and it will be wasted some time. ”

Qu Xiaomo, who was standing behind the old doctor, asked, "Doctor, how long will it take to detoxify?" Will there be any after-effects? "In the end, my boss has to ask clearly before I can explain.

The old doctor nodded and said, "This poison is extracted from the teeth of the Wanhua Snake, if this person is bitten by the Wanhua Snake, he will be killed in less than a day, this son must have squeezed out a lot of poisonous blood when you pulled out the poisonous arrow for him, plus you said that last night was filled with anti-poisonous weeds, otherwise it would not last time." ”

As he spoke, he took out the silver needle from the medicine box, and instructed Qu Xiaomo and the uncle, saying, "You two help him up, the old man will give him a needle to expel the poison in his body, and put some ginger slices in a basin of hot water." ”

Because of the great defense of men and women, the aunt was only busy outside, and the uncle hurriedly asked her to boil water and bring it in, and after the hot water arrived, the two took off the unconscious golden sting's clothes, helped him sit up, and the old doctor gave him a needle.

When his chest and back were covered with silver needles, a lot of black blood came out of the wound of the original arrow after a while, exactly the same color as the blood he had originally squeezed out before, and there was a foul smell, and the taste was even worse when it flowed into the hot water, fortunately, there were ginger slices, Qu Xiaomo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine.

Seeing the black blood flowing out, the old doctor took out the handkerchief on his body and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said: "See, if you didn't squeeze out a part of him at the beginning, this person would have run out of gas a long time ago, but fortunately, the poison has been diluted by someone, and the toxicity has weakened a little, otherwise the old man will not be able to return to the sky when he arrives." ”

Qu Xiaomo hurriedly thanked him, and gradually the color of the blood flowing from the wound slowly turned back to red, and the old doctor began to pull out the needle again, and then took out a sharp small dagger and ordered: "Turn him around and I'll clean the wound for him." ”

Qu Xiaomo and the two turned their backs to the old doctor, and only listened to him: "It's hot, your only one who stops bleeding and doesn't use medicine has pus, if you don't deal with it well, you will suffer." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a knife and removed the carrion from the wound, and then asked the aunt to bring a basin of hot water to wash it, put gold sore medicine and bandage it, and touched the ointment on the other wounds on his body.

After everything was in order, the two of them put the person on the bed again, and explained while washing their hands: "It's a hot day, the medicine on his body has to be changed twice a day, and the old man is prescribing a prescription for detoxification, and he decoctions and drinks it three times a day, although the poison in his body has been cleared a lot, but there is still some residual poison, which must be removed slowly." ”

"After ten days, the old man is coming to see, after the cleansing, he will have to adjust his body, this poison is very domineering, whoever is poisoned by this poison will be abnormally weak, and it is impossible to go to the ground without three or five months of conditioning."

So long? Qu Xiaomo put the person on the thin quilt and couldn't help asking, "Doctor, when will he wake up?" ”

"I should be able to wake up tonight, but I'm afraid I'm very weak, by the way..."The old doctor explained again after speaking, and said: "You should also pay attention to the food in the future, eat some meat porridge in the first ten days, light and liquid food is easy to discharge the poison in the body, and the old man will come to see the situation in ten days." ”

"Good! Thank you, Doctor! Sorry for your help. Qu Xiaomo bowed to him

The old doctor waved his hand, took out a pen, ink and paper and put it on the table, and said, "The old man will write you a prescription, and then leave you two days of medicine, and when it is used up, you will go to Jitongtang in the county town to pick it up." ”
