55 scramble
Three days later.
Medieval World 0001-02-01 07:21 AM.
It was a cloudy day, it was a little dark, the morning dew had not yet dissipated, and the breeze brought a cool breeze.
This is a rare comfortable time in summer, but at such a comfortable moment, next to the hillside, squatting next to two bushes, Wu Qingchen raised his right hand and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.
A few steps away from the "...... of Loss," next to a large canopy of leaves, a young man in his early twenties poked out.
"What's wrong?" Wu Qingchen turned around.
The forehead of the young man of "...... Los was also slightly sweating, and when he saw Wu Qingchen turn around, the young man waved vigorously a few light cyan seedlings held in his right hand: "...... I think you seemed to say, you need to do that, right? ”
"I'll take a look...... Wu Qingchen walked over, took Xiao Miao and looked at it carefully, and quickly shook his head: "That's right, I want this kind of Xiao Miao...... But these ones won't work......"
"Why? I've dug very carefully......" The young man hurriedly came over and quickly checked: "You see, here, and here, the grass roots are still there, the leaves are not broken, and there is a little soil here deliberately, and there is still ...... here."
"I know, I know...... These are all right, you did dig very carefully......" Wu Qingchen nodded again and again, and at the same time pointed to the top of the seedlings: "However, these seedlings are not good because of these reasons...... This seedling is not used for its roots or leaves, but for its flowers...... None of these branches have bloomed yet......"
“…… This...... This...... Is that so? …… I want to think about it......" The young man looked up and recalled, and soon looked a little annoyed, and at the same time threw away the few small seedlings that were left in his hand: "Well, I remember, you did tell me...... Really, how did I forget it again......"
"Forget it, forget it, it's okay, anyway, this kind of seedling is everywhere, it doesn't take much ......"
While speaking, Wu Qingchen had already squatted down again, and when he soon stood up again, Wu Qingchen had a few more seedlings in his hand that were almost exactly the same as the young man's acquisition, except that there were a few small blue flower herbs on the top of their forks: "Look, there are a lot of ...... here."
"Okay......" Seeing that the young man also squatted down, Shuo Xun's eyes began to scan around, and his right hand quickly grabbed a small seedling, Wu Qingchen hurriedly waved his hand, "Okay, you don't have to look for it, there are not many of them, a few are enough." ”
"Oh......" the young man paused, "In that case, what else is needed now?" ”
"Now......" Hearing this question, Wu Qingchen couldn't help but look at his right side, and put it in the wooden basket next to him, which now contained a small half of all kinds of plants, "Where is your basket?" Show me too......"
Soon, the two baskets were put together, Wu Qingchen put the young man's wooden basket in front of him, while looking through it carefully, he selected a few herbs from time to time and put them into his wooden basket, after a while, the plants in the young man's wooden basket had been looked through, and Wu Qingchen's own wooden basket was all full.
"Now words...... Wu Qingchen groaned slightly, and finally quickly checked: "Now words...... Looks like it's almost there......"
"Yes, it's almost there, it's still a few things to go, and there are places to go to the west of the village at noon to find stones and water plants...... I really can't do it, and I can't dig it again when I go back in the afternoon...... Well, let's do it for now! Looking at the sky, Wu Qingchen picked up the full wooden basket and stood up: "It's not too early, there are still a lot of things today, let's go first......"
"Gone?" Clapping his hands, the young man also stood up, noticing that Wu Qingchen's hand was full of wood blue, and the young man hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Come, Rose, I'll help you lift ......"
"No, I'll do it myself."
"You have too many here, the road is still quite long, let me mention it."
"I really don't need it, it just looks like a lot, but it's actually all small grass and big grass, not heavy, I can mention it myself."
"How can it not be heavy...... Let me come, Lord Barris asked me to come here to help you......"
"It really doesn't matter, the road ahead is very narrow, and it is very inconvenient for you to lift the two...... Moreover, these herbs need to be very careful, and it is more appropriate for one person to take care of one. ”
"That's ...... In this case...... Let's change! ”
“…… Okay......" Reluctantly exchanged wooden baskets, Wu Qingchen couldn't help but laugh: "Okay now, let's go, Basser." ”
"Okay, Loth." The young Basser, or rather, the entourage of the farmer, nodded vigorously and walked forward.
For three days, Wu Qingchen treated the injuries of the village's cattle every day.
The roads of the medieval world were quite poor, and the hygiene was ...... There is no such thing as sanitation at all, and most of these injured cattle with external wounds are very unsuitable for leaving the livestock shed or the haystack of the wooden house, so Wu Qingchen had to go out early every morning, and the sun was about to set before returning home, and just after dinner, he went to further deal with the cultivated cattle that had been treated, and was sent back to the wooden house by the grateful villagers in the middle of the night.
Due to the large number of injured cattle in the village, even if Wu Qingchen was busy day and night, at least half of the cattle in the village had not yet had time to receive real treatment, so Wu Qingchen only distributed some of the simplest medicines to the family owners, and taught them a little bit of the most basic care methods and the most rudimentary measures to prevent inflammation.
Of course, these "simplest medicines", "the most basic methods of care", and "the most rudimentary measures to prevent inflammation" are all relatively earthly concepts, and for the medieval world, where medicine was almost completely non-existent, these "simplest", "most basic", and "most rudimentary" have also greatly improved the condition of these injured ploughing cattle and greatly increased the speed of recovery.
The effect was quite satisfactory, it should be said, the cattle had died in large numbers, the possibility of a devastating blow to the village had completely disappeared, and the prospect of a complete return to normal was just around the corner, and the agricultural officer was already quite satisfied.
It's just that when the agricultural officer saw that in the first night, among the several ploughing cattle that Wu Qingchen personally treated on the first day, several of them had completely recovered, and even began to work in the field, he was deeply shocked, and the agricultural officer found Wu Qingchen again.
After learning that Wu Qingchen had done his best and that there was really no possibility of further speeding up the progress, the agricultural officer immediately sent the servant Baser to Wu Qingchen's side to provide all the help he could for Wu Qingchen in collecting herbs, boiling medicines, applying medicines, improving the environment for ploughing cattle to recover, and even eating, washing dishes, washing clothes, laying haystacks, and so on.
Wu Qingchen did not call the young Baser as he pleased.
When receiving the training, the Earth Staff Corps, the Analysis Corps, and the Coaching Corps all stressed to Wu Qingchen again and again that in the medieval world, at the current stage, we must make friends with every indigenous person as much as possible, seize every opportunity to improve the natives' good impression of themselves, and establish a good image.
The purpose of the Staff Corps, the Analytical Corps, the Coaching Corps in this regard is not difficult.
Having lived in an environment where everyone is equal, at least verbally, for more than 20 years, when Wu Qingchen gets along with Basse, his actions and tone naturally reveal kindness.
After many years of hard work in a society with developed information and frequent exchanges, Wu Qingchen has communication skills far beyond those of the natives. When Baser was arguing for the wooden basket, Wu Qingchen would say that the road was very narrow and it was inconvenient to carry two blue seeds, and did not point out that Baser did not have the ability to take care of the herbs.
And so on and so forth......
The expected drudgery was so easy, so getting along, and following the agricultural officer on weekdays, always trembling all the time, for fear of any mistakes, naturally like a spring breeze.
55. The Scramble (Part II)
After collecting herbs and carefully guarding the wooden basket, along the winding hilly path, Wu Qingchen and Baser crossed several hills and gradually approached the area where the villagers lived.
The two of them soon approached another corner, which was a fork in the slope of the hill, and both sides of the fork led to the west of the village, and after this hillside, in front of them were the wooden houses of several villagers, and when they walked here, Wu Qingchen and Basser's pace suddenly slowed down at the same time.
"Shall I go and see first?" Turning around, Baser looked inquiring.
"Okay, you go and have a look...... Wu Qingchen nodded, saw the bus stepping, and added with a slight disease: "...... Be careful not to be seen. ”
"I know ......," said Basser, laying down the basket, and walked lightly around the corner, poking his head out cautiously, and after a quick glance, he quickly shrank back.
"How?" Wu Qingchen's voice carried some hope.
"No, not here."
Baser shook his head, and quickly walked lightly to another intersection, repeating the action of carefully probing and quickly shrinking his head, and before Wu Qingchen could ask, Baser had already shook his head again: "No, not here." ”
"Neither side is it? …… Well, well, I knew it was going to be like this...... Since it doesn't work, let's go this way, at least it's closer...... Alas......"
Wu Qingchen sighed, looked at the intersection leading to both sides, his steps were a little heavy, and he walked to the left direction with a sad face.
Brushing aside the branches that stretched to the side of the road, and bypassing a few bushes that grew wildly after the rain, Wu Qingchen turned the corner and threw the hillside that blocked his view behind him, and there was an undulating hillside in front of him, two winding streams, a few muddy fields, and a few low and simple wooden houses......
and the dozen peasant women and children who were standing in front of these wooden houses in the open space, staring at the direction of the corner of the fork in the road, Wu Qingchen's small figure immediately turned around, or rushed out, or jumped high.
At the same time, Wu Qingchen's two ears also immediately received a series of shouts.
"Los! Over here! Look here! Here, hot water is boiling in the pot, hay is laid in the shed, rags are torn in the house, everything is ready, just waiting for you, this time it will definitely be soon, and it will definitely not take you a little more effort! ”
"Los! Lowes! The ground is tired, isn't it? Come to Aunt Acala's house, she has prepared peas and lettuce for you, and it's hot! They were all just picked early in the morning and salted! Put oil! ”
"Los! You're just in time for something! Come here, come and sit at my house! Last night, when your Uncle Avilia came home, he picked up two small shovels, and I don't know whose they were, and no one asked for them everywhere...... Look, that's it, how? It's easy to use at first glance, right? Come on, there's another one in the house, I heard that your father and brothers are opening up a new wasteland in the past two days, this must be useful, you can take it home! ”
"It's coming, it's coming! Brother Los is here! Mother, come out, come out! Brother Los is here! ”
In the noisy shouts one after another, more than a dozen figures rushed towards Wu Qingchen quickly, these peasant women took extremely vigorous steps, running and jumping, rushing and colliding, and quickly squeezed to Wu Qingchen's side, more than a dozen enthusiastic and incomparably sincere smiling faces, more than a dozen quickly opened and closed, and the mouth of the lotus flower sent out a string of the most enthusiastic invitations.
Surrounded by such warm and sincere aunts and sisters-in-law, in the face of such an eager and sincere invitation......
Wu Qingchen's face was sad, his tangled expression pulled muscles, Wu Qingchen's brows wrinkled into bark, and his face wrinkled into bitter gourd.
"Aunt Mary, don't pull me, please don't pull me...... It's useless for you to pull me, really, I've seen your ploughing cattle three times! I swear to you, your baby can't eat grass, and it's definitely not because of injury...... No matter whose cattle you feed five times a day, you will definitely look exactly like your cattle...... You've fed too much! Plus, there's just as much food you've prepared! Baser and I couldn't finish eating for three days and three nights! And we've all eaten it! Please let me go! ”
"Grandma Zenia, don't squeeze me, don't squeeze me anymore, you see, I've stepped into the field, and you don't want Uncle Jamie to be angry, do you...... Yes, yes...... Yes, I know you didn't mean to...... No, no, I'm definitely not angry! …… Definitely not for this reason...... I know you have a shed, you boiled hot water and tore rags...... Yes, yes, I know you're ready for everything, how could I forget? You've told me thirteen times since the day before yesterday! ”
"Ah...... Aunt Memmy, don't ...... Don't grab baskets...... No, don't shove it into my hands...... Don't put the wooden shovel in the basket to keep it from pressing the herbs...... Yes, yes, yes, yes, Uncle Avilia picked it up, definitely Uncle Avilia picked it up when he came home......"
"Yes, yes, it's too coincidental, how can it not be coincidental? I haven't been to your cottage a few times, but I'm sure that to pick up these two little shovels, you have to open Uncle Avilia's favorite little box, dig out a lot of clothes, and remove two planks, so that you can pick up the two little ones in your hand from the bottom of the box! ”
"Cassie, Cass, Cleo, Edmund, don't scream! Let the aunts finish turning the grass! The sun is about to pass, and if you don't finish it, you won't have anything to eat in winter! ”
"Okay, okay, aunts, aunts, grandmothers, let me go, I have already treated all the ploughing cattle in your family, and I have seen them two or three times, and everything is fine, as long as they are allowed to rest well, they will be able to work in the field in two or three days...... Let me go, there are still twenty ploughing oxen waiting for me in the village......"
"Don't chase me, let's go home, don't chase me, look, look over there...... The aunts who live on Ashitakio's side are here, so let me go, or I won't be able to leave, and I'll have even less time to come and see your cattle farming!" ”
In this way, after a lot of hard work, a large group of peasant women and children chased and intercepted, Wu Qingchen and Baser fled and ran fast.
This is a scene that Wu Qingchen must have experienced every time he passed through the village in the past three days......
One.
For Wu Qingchen, the road through the living area of Ai Kri's village has suddenly changed from the moment he began to treat the injured cattle in the village, and it has instantly become a bumpy road full of difficulties and obstacles.
There is no way, there are too many injured cattle in the village, there are more than forty heads, Wu Qingchen has tried his best to improve the speed of treatment, and only half of the cattle in the village have been treated.
Wu Qingchen is only one person, and he has not learned the spell of the doppelganger for the time being, and the treatment inevitably produces a priority, and everyone hopes to treat the family's cultivated cattle first, so that it can recover as quickly as possible, and return to the ground as quickly as possible, so as to avoid the loss of the family as much as possible.
It is impossible for Wu Qingchen to satisfy the "highest priority" wishes of these 70 or so families who use the cattle alone or together, and hundreds of people have exactly the same "highest priority", so he can only comprehensively decide the order of treatment according to the severity of the injuries of these cultivated cattle, the severity of the injuries, the location of their residence, the families affected, and so on.
These factors are almost all unheard of, and of course the vast majority of the natives are impossible to understand, and what has just happened is inevitable, and it happens again and again.
Along the way, whether the cattle have been initially treated, the cattle have been revisited for the first time, the cattle have been basically cured, or the cattle have been drilled into the fields and are jumping around, almost every family, the women and children who stayed at home, as soon as they saw Wu Qingchen, would quickly run to Wu Qingchen, or plead, or complain, or prepare on their own initiative, or clumsily and ridiculously bribe, and try their best to make Wu Qingchen go to see the injured cattle at home.
As for the families who have not had time to receive the first treatment, they have only received some of the simplest herbs, filled with a stomach full of misty care methods, disinfection methods, and families who have watched other people's cattle recover quickly, chasing or arresting Wu Qingchen, it can be imagined.
The staff must have deduced this situation, so why don't you let the coaching team teach me some ways to escape?
Again and again struggling to break through, and again and again fleeing in the wilderness, Wu Qingchen, a rat crossing the street, was exhausted and miserable.
Fortunately, the natives of the medieval world are just ignorant, not stupid, and when families chase and intercept Wu Qingchen, they are always very careful, so as not to let their enthusiasm hurt Wu Qingchen, and when fighting for Wu Qingchen, although there are occasional quarrels between each other, at most they only scold a few words without pain, and there is no fight.
Thanks to these simple blessings, the treatment plan formulated by Wu Qingchen has finally been able to proceed step by step so far.
Until this moment......
"I'll you!"
Looking at the emptiness, only the rapid stream, the high and steep slope, and the two banks of the deep indentation stream, Wu Qingchen was stunned, and couldn't help but spew out Chinese.
In the distance, four peasant women rushed away carrying two damp logs.
Running away with the former bridge, Aunt Seraka shouted in a heartfelt voice:
"Loos, we've got the food ready, and we've got everything you've used to treat cattle in the past few days...... By the way, when you just came over, Grandma Lunny also led someone to tear down the bridge on your way back, no matter what, if you don't give us five cows today, don't think about going home! ”
