Chapter XVIII. Fire
"Sister Baihe, let's fish him up and let my brother see what to do?" Chenlu made a suggestion.
"Okay, you come and help me, and we'll pull him ashore together. Bai He agreed to Chenlu's suggestion and beckoned Chenlu to take the dying boy to swim to the shore.
After going ashore, the two hurriedly dressed up and ran towards the farmland to find Donghao, the elder brother of Chenlu.
The other women, knowing that the men were coming, went ashore and dressed themselves, but they did not disperse, and began to talk about the man lying on the ground.
"Hey, look, this bead is so beautiful, look at it!" A woman saw a faint flash in the young man's arms, and quickly opened it to see that it was actually an earthy yellow bead the size of a duck's egg, and the surface of the bead had a very thin and crystal clear transparent shell, and it was this bead that sparkled in the sun.
But all women love something shiny and beautiful, and they are women too, of course, and when they pick it up, they see that there is a cloud of earthy yellow mist in the beads, and they can't put it down.
"The village chief is here......" I don't know who whispered, the women instantly stopped talking and didn't dare to speak, the woman holding the orb was about to carry it in her arms, but when she saw the longing in the eyes of the women around her, she knew that this thing couldn't be hidden, and hurriedly handed it to Donghao, who had already walked over.
"This one fell out of him......"
The village chief Dong Hao looked at the clothes on the chest of the young man on the ground and turned them open, and instantly understood where this fell out, it was clearly searched out, Dong Hao is extremely upright, and the person he hates the most is the liar, but now that the woman has handed over the jewel, there is no need to make a big fuss about such a trivial matter, so he didn't say anything, and when he took the jewel, he glared at the woman fiercely, and the woman saw it in her eyes, knowing that she was wrong, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Dong Hao stretched out his hand to probe the young man's snort, put his fingers on his neck again, and then grabbed his wrist again, and after a while, Dong Hao stood up and looked at the surrounding villagers, and casually pointed to the four people: "The four of you carry this person to my house to see if you can save it, and the rest of the people should do whatever they want." ”
This was not a particularly interesting thing, so except for the four young men who were appointed to stay behind and carry the man to Donghao's house, the rest of the people dispersed, and even the surrounding women also dispersed, and lined up on the shore to wash their dirty clothes.
The four young men carried the man to Donghao's house and put him on the top and went out, and Donghao instructed them to continue their previous work, so only Donghao and Chenlu were left in the house.
When the four of them retreated, Dong Hao did not go to help the person heal his injuries, but took the earthy yellow bead in his hand and looked at it for a long time.
Dong Hao reacted at this time, looked up and saw that there was no one else in the house, and then stood at the door and poked his head out, very cautiously observed and confirmed that there were no six ears at this time, and said with a solemn face: "This bead is not ordinary, I can feel that it contains a huge amount of spiritual power, how can such a magical treasure appear here with us?"
Chenlu didn't know what Donghao wanted to express, so he didn't answer.
"For example, if the human race is declining today, seeing that those life-saving mountain protection arrays are about to fail because of the barrenness of the heavenly and earthly treasures, this young man is young and young but has such a magical treasure, he must not be an ordinary person, even if he is not from the three immortal mountains, he must have a huge family background, perhaps...... He can break the curse and help us get out of this demon-cursed village. ”
When he heard Donghao guess like this, Chenlu couldn't help but be surprised, "You mean ......?"
Donghao's face was solemn, nodded heavily, and gave Chenlu an affirmative answer.
"Really? Then let's get this man back to life, maybe he really has a way. Morning Dew couldn't help but get excited when she heard it.
Dong Hao shook his head, sighed and said, "With my medical skills, I may not be able to save him, if you want to save him, you may need to find that person...... It's just that the only thing I have to worry about now is whether this person will help us if he really comes back to life, or will he kill us for fear of being exposed!"
Chenlu didn't understand Donghao's words, and couldn't help but wonder: "We saved him, shouldn't he be grateful to us?"
Dong Hao smiled bitterly, picked up the orb in his hand and said: "Not necessarily, if there is no orb, maybe what you said is right, but the ancients are cloudy, the husband is not guilty, we know his secret, and we do not rule out the possibility of him killing people......"
After hearing this, Chenlu's previous excitement vanished, and after a long time, she whispered, "Then what should I do now?"
Dong Hao sighed, put the jewel on the table aside, then walked up to the young man, picked up his arm, and then pressed the man's chest with his hand, and said: "Actually, even if you don't consider what happens when he wakes up, I think that even if that person takes action in person, he may not be able to save it, and even if he is saved, he will be a waste person, you see, his arm is broken several times, his sternum is also broken, and it is estimated that the internal organs have also been greatly damaged." ”
Chenlu's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this, and she said happily: "Brother, isn't it just right? If he really becomes a waste after rescuing him, the two of us can worship him as a teacher, so that we can learn how to use treasures, and we won't have to take care of them before?"
After Donghao heard Chenlu's words, his mouth suddenly opened, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Why didn't I think of it, it's still your brain, hurry, you go and help my brother bring the bag, I'll try it first." ”
Chenlu hurriedly ran to the back room, took out a bag from the cabinet, and after opening it, it was full of silver needles and other things, Donghao lit an oil lamp from the side, carefully brought it over, and when everything was ready, put the silver needles on the fire and roasted them.
"Brother, does this really work?" said Chenlu with some concern.
Dong Hao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I have seen that person revive a dying rabbit with my own eyes, and this is all I can do now, after all, I have never healed such an injury...... Try a shot first and see if he reacts, I don't want to alarm that person until I have to. As he spoke, a needle plunged into the young man's acupoint.
Who knows, after this needle went down, the person who was originally motionless and weak in the gossamer actually trembled violently, and his breath seemed to be stronger.
"Brother, it seems to really work. Chenlu couldn't help but exclaim.
“......”
Dong Hao opened his mouth but did not speak, questioning the effect of the needle in front of him, so he took another silver needle and roasted it on the oil lamp, and then pierced it into the Parkway acupoint.
I saw that the young man's body trembled again, and sure enough, Dong Hao put his hand on the young man's chest, and seemed to be vaguely feeling his heart beating rhythmically.
So Donghao no longer hesitated, and pierced the silver needles in the small bag into the big points of the young man's body one by one, and the life characteristics of the young man became stronger and stronger, until all the silver needles in the bag were used up, and it was clear that the young man's heart was beating strongly, although the pulse was a little weak, but the problem of saving life should not be big.
"Miracle......" Donghao wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed with a long sigh.
"Brother, it's really alive!" Chenlu saw Donghao nodding in affirmation, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and the whole person jumped up happily.
"Village Chief, come quickly......" At this moment, a young man's voice came from outside the house, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
Dong Hao hurriedly went out of the house, and after Chen Lu heard the two whisper a few words, Dong Hao instructed her to take good care of the young man, and the two immediately trotted away.
At this time, Chenlu saw that the young man's wound soaked in water had rotted, and she was a little stunned when she looked at it, so she hurriedly took out some medicinal powder from the inner room and sprinkled it evenly on the wound, at this time the young man seemed to have some consciousness, these medicinal powders brought great pain, I saw him frown, gritted his teeth and gasped a few breaths, and some cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
Chenlu looked at the gray face in front of him and closed his eyes, but after a closer look, he was actually a little handsome, but seeing his frowning and painful appearance, he was a little distressed for no reason, and quickly took a towel from the side, and carefully wiped the sweat on his forehead for him, who would have thought that the towel hooked to the cabinet with the oil lamp, with the action of Chenlu pumping the towel, the cabinet was directly pulled for a while, and the oil lamp on the cabinet fell over with the swing of the cabinet, and the oil in the oil lamp spilled to the collapse, and the flames burned along the oil.
Chenlu was suddenly frightened and at a loss, and hurriedly slapped the fire with his hand to extinguish the fire, but unfortunately the fire burned oil, and under the oil was a dried tiger skin, both of which were flammable.
Morning Dew was suddenly in a hurry, and hurriedly ran to the back room to scoop a basin of water and brought it out, who knew that it was just a few minutes, the fire had already pounced on the grass curtain on the beams of the house, the raging fire had drowned the young man, and the rolling black smoke choked Morning Dew couldn't open his eyes, so he had to splash out the water in the basin in his hand and jump out of the house.
Donghao's house is on the edge of the village, close to the river and farmland, and the billowing smoke has already attracted the attention of the villagers not far away.
But this fire is unusual, it can even be said to be extremely strange, the water in the hands of the villagers seems to be like fire oil at the moment, after splashing on the flames, not only did not suppress the fire, but made the fire burn more vigorously, the villagers who came later couldn't help but stop there after seeing this situation, not knowing whether the water in their hands should be poured up.
Dong Hao glared at Chenlu fiercely, and scolded sharply: "What's the matter? I just went out for a short while, and you caused such a big disaster!"
Chenlu was also in an extremely sad mood at this time, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow down when she heard Donghao blame.
Dong Hao was about to say more, but Bai He pulled Chenlu aside and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry......"
"Village Chief, what should I do now?" a villager asked Dong Hao for instructions.
Donghao suddenly remembered the jewel in the house, this thing was not visible, and hurriedly said to the villagers: "This fire is strange, don't worry about it for now, you all disperse." ”
"Scattered?" the villagers looked at Donghao with incredulous expressions.
Dong Hao nodded and said, "There are many empty houses in the village, just find one to live in, and you can disperse." ”
Only then did the villagers react, it turned out that Donghao had given up this old house, anyway, this house was isolated, and there were no other houses around it that could be affected, and the fire would naturally not be extinguished after it was burned, so why waste energy to put out the fire, it was completely meaningless, so the villagers didn't ask any more, and each carried their own guys and dispersed.
After the villagers dispersed, only Donghao, Chenlu and Bai He were left in the courtyard, Donghao glanced at Bai He, didn't say anything, picked up a basin of water from the ground and poured it on his head, and rushed into the house.
"Donghao, you don't want to die!" Bai He couldn't help but be frightened when he saw Donghao rushing into the house.
Donghao didn't care about answering the treasure bead, he had rushed into the house at this time, and Chenlu also saw it in his eyes, knowing that his brother must be taking the jewel, and he didn't say anything, just two little hands clasped together, praying for Donghao in his heart, hoping that he could be safe, and at the same time deeply blaming himself for his carelessness.
