The old Wang Tou continued: "As the saying goes: "The mallet bird is happy, and the young man enters the mountain", and most people enter the mountain in July and August. At this time, the ginseng seeds are bright red, and the mallet bird is whining, so it is easier to find some. The amount of autumn is insufficient, and it is generally not dug out, and it was found that the red rope was used as a mark, and the scissors were buried at the bottom as evidence. Some of them are dug up and planted in a ginseng shed, and they grow into reprocessed after autumn.

Back then, I was the one who put the mountain, and I knew everything about picking sticks and mallets, if you didn't understand it, just ask me, I must know everything and say everything. It is now the end of July, after the fourth day of the eighth month, the fifth day of the first month of August is the auspicious day of the zodiac, you can enter the mountain to collect ginseng, and then you can go into the mountain to pick sticks and mallets after worshipping the mountain god. ”

At this time, the big boss said: "Since there is still so much time in the mountain, let's stay here for a few days, as long as we don't think our cottage is small, we will take this place as their home." ”

We hurriedly thanked the big master, at this time the wine and food were ready, I saw that these dishes were in a large basin, large pieces of meat, whole chicken, we also put a porcelain bowl in front of the porcelain bowl, and then I finally understood, what is a big bowl of wine, a large piece of meat.

The big boss asked people to call the heads of those bandits, and the bandits generally had four beams and eight pillars, usually referring to the backbone elements of the bandits who held a certain position, which was more popular in the northeast region, and most of the bandits in other places borrowed the structure of the army or the gang. In essence, the so-called four beams and eight pillars are just a figurative metaphor to illustrate their status and division of labor among bandits. The specific title and the meaning of the duty are different.

Generally speaking, the four beams are the core layer of the silk, and there are Tuotianliang (Mr. Move), Dingtianliang (gun head), Yingtianliang (water incense), and Shuntianliang (grain platform). The eight pillars are the backbone elements second only to the four beams, and the division of labor of these bandits is clear, with four inner pillars and four outer pillars. The quality of the bandits is directly related to the master, the three leaders are considered to be upright strange women, and the four beams and eight pillars under their hands are also normal people.

Everyone was together, the three leaders led the way, and the big bowl of wine began to be eaten, and the meat was eaten in large pieces, I was eating and saw that my eldest brother Zhong Dabiao was a little wrong, only to see his face in pain, with beads of sweat dripping on his head, I asked Zhong Dabiao: "What's wrong with you, big brother?" ”

Zhong Dabiao hurriedly said: "No, nothing, you eat quickly, I'm already full." ”

When Zhong Dabiao spoke, he couldn't help but cover his leg, and as soon as I saw Zhong Dabiao covering the injured leg, I said to Zhong Dabiao: "Big brother, your leg? ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "My leg is fine, you hurry up and eat meat and drink wine." ”

After finishing speaking, he picked up a bowl of wine and drank it, Zhong Dabiao said that he was fine, but I could see that he must have something, but he didn't want to say it. I have something on my mind, and eating meat is like chewing wax. After eating, the big boss let people arrange a place for us to live, we chatted for a while, the little bandit came back to report the arrangement, we got up to say goodbye, when I got up and walked back, I suddenly found that Zhong Dabiao's leg was lame, there are many things these days, I didn't pay attention, now I just noticed, I looked at Zhong Dabiao's legs, when he stepped on the steps, suddenly stumbled under his feet, fell directly to the ground, and then hugged his legs, I hurried over to help Zhong Dabiao, anxiously asked: "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhong Dabiao gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little leg pain." ”

As soon as I heard it, I hurriedly went to pick up Zhong Dabiao's trouser leg, at this time someone brought a lamp, under the illumination of the light, I saw Zhong Dabiao's leg clearly, only to see his leg, the whole swollen circle, there was a wound on it, which was left by the cat demon, which was already blackened, and there was black water bubbling inside, faintly smelly. At this time, Mao Qinglian behind me said: "It's bad, my eldest brother's wound attacked, it seems that the cat demon is poisonous, I blame me for this, I was too careless, if I had paid attention earlier, it wouldn't have been like this." ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "Third brother, I don't blame you for this matter, I deliberately didn't say it in the past few days." ”

When Mao Qinglian heard this, he said to Zhong Dabiao: "I also blame you for this matter, you said that you are not a child, if you don't treat it well, your leg may be useless." ”

At this time, the three masters also came over, looked at Zhong Dabiao's legs, and said, "This brother, it seems that you understand, how can you treat the injury?" Let's ask Lang Zhong to go. ”

Mao Qinglian said: "This injury can't be cured by Chinese medicine Langzhong, the poisonous gas has already reached the meat, and the bad meat must be surgically removed." ”

The second master said: "This has to be the work of Western medicine, now only the devil has Western medicine, if you want to find a devil to see a doctor, it is a dangerous thing." ”

Mao Qinglian said: "I can do this operation, but, it's just that we don't have anesthetic, it's very painful to do this operation, it would be nice to get anesthetic." ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "If you can really do surgery, then do it, don't use anesthetics, I am a soldier, and I can still bear this pain." ”

Mao Qinglian said: "Big brother ...... like that"

Zhong Dabiao said: "I said it, it's okay, you can treat it boldly, my leg can't be wasted, on the fifth day of August, I still have to pick ginseng with you." ”

Mao Qinglian said: "This wound is quite serious, even if it is treated, it may not be able to heal by the fifth day of the eighth month." ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "It's okay, you do your best." ”

After hearing this, Mao Qinglian bit his lip and thought for a while and said, "Okay, as long as the eldest brother can endure the pain, I will help the eldest brother do this operation." ”

After finishing speaking, he asked the big boss to find a clean house, and let him light a few more oil lamps, and after finding the house, he carried Zhong Dabiao into the house, and there were seven or eight lights in the house, which illuminated the whole house as bright as day. Outside the house, she took out the small knife and small scissors she carried, put them in the pot and boiled them vigorously, and took them to the house after cooking, and asked people to find the spirits, she first poured the spirits into a bowl, and after lighting them, she put those small knives and small scissors on it and burned them, and after burning, Mao Qinglian used the spirits to clean up Zhong Dabiao's wounds, and asked people to find some new white cloths, put them in the pot and cook them for later use, and when everything was ready, Mao Qinglian found a wooden stick and let Zhong Dabiao hold on, Then he said to me: "Zhendong, you stay and help me, if the eldest brother can't stand it, you can help me hold down the eldest brother, and the fourth brother, you also stay and help me." ”

Luo Xihan and I nodded, at this time Mao Qinglian took the scissors and began to operate on Zhong Dabiao, Mao Qinglian's face was heavy, he held a sharp knife in his hand, and slowly cut into the black flesh, the knife was very sharp, after cutting in, a stream of black blood flowed out, then I looked at Zhong Dabiao, only to see Zhong Dabiao's head saw sweat, his teeth were tightly biting the wooden stick, I asked Zhong Dabiao: "Big brother, are you in pain?" ”

Zhong Dabiao shook his head, then closed his eyes, bit the wooden stick in his mouth tightly, and did not speak there. I have experienced this taste, don't I know that it hurts, but Zhong Dabiao doesn't want to say it. Look at Mao Qinglian again, Mao Qinglian is using a knife to cut off the black flesh on Zhong Dabiao's body, at this time, sweat also appeared on her face, crystal sweat, slid over that beautiful face, see Qinglian from the side, she is so good-looking, tall little nose, long eyelashes on big eyes flickering, those big eyes, printed with lights are brighter, a small mouth is slightly open, every time I see it, I will be intoxicated.

Mao Qinglian did the operation meticulously, there was a rough panting sound in my ears, I knew that this was Zhong Dabiao's panting, Zhong Dabiao was really a man, Mao Qinglian operated on him, without a little anesthetic, but he just held it down and didn't say a word. I saw that his face was already covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, falling down one after another. I hurriedly found a cloth and wiped the sweat on Zhong Dabiao's head, but the sweat was wiped clean, and then it flowed out again, at this time Mao Qinglian said: "Xihan quickly cleaned the wound to stop the bleeding, there was too much blood, I couldn't see where the meat was bad." ”
