Chapter 6: Human Sacrifice
When I prescribed a dose of laxative to a villager who had eaten a bad stomach, Luo Xiaobei ran to the temporary clinic provided to me by the Linshui clan in a menacing manner.
This villager was the last one, and after I sent him away, there was no one around, and Luo Xiaobei immediately shouted at me, "What do you want to do?" ”
I sat down on the couch at the back of the table, stretched comfortably, and said, "What did you say?" ”
Luo Xiaobei stared at me and said What do you mean by this?
I said "oh", and then said, "No, your brother-in-law found me and asked me if I would see a doctor, and I said yes, so he asked me to help treat an elder, and it happened that I would, so I treated it casually; They found a bunch of patients, and I was idle, so I helped to take a look. How, do you have an opinion? ”
Luo Xiaobei squinted his eyes and said Where did you get so much medicine?
I shrugged my shoulders and said that although I am a subordinate, I do have my own privacy, right?
Luo Xiaobei was impatient, rushed to me with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and touched my waist, where can I let her succeed, slightly avoided, and then waved her hand away.
Luo Xiaobei was not convinced, and wanted to come up again, but at this time, the young general Nuo hurriedly ran into the house with a happy face, and saw Luo Xiaobei and me making a move, and hurriedly shouted: "Miss Luo, Miss Luo, this can't be helped, don't do it, how can it be good to hurt Doctor Lu?" ”
Doctor Lu?
When Luo Xiaobei heard this, he was so angry that his nose wrinkled, and said that he hadn't seen him for a day, how fast could you climb?
I shrugged my shoulders and ignored her, but asked the young general, what did you say?
The young general Nuo first glanced at Luo Xiaobei cautiously, and then said: "Doctor Lu, the patriarch heard about you and wanted to see you, so he ordered a dinner, please go to the main hall for dinner after a quarter of an hour." ”
I nodded, and said, "Who are they?"
The young general said: "Including Elder Song, who has woken up, the five elders of the clan will attend, the leaders of several other hunting teams will also attend, and there are several important leaders in the clan. ”
When Luo Xiaobei heard this, he raised his eyebrows, glared and said, "Didn't you call me?" ”
The young general Nuo was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Well, I didn't talk about this, otherwise I'll ask ...... again."
Luo Xiaobei glared at him angrily, and I saw Luo Xiaobei's face full of jealousy, I couldn't help but laugh, and said to the young general: "Okay, you go back and tell the above, saying that I will definitely attend on time." ”
Xiao Jiangnuo nodded hurriedly and said Okay, you must come over, I heard Aunt Zhaomei say that there is wine at the banquet......
Speaking of wine, he subconsciously licked his tongue, as if it was very aftertaste.
I smiled and said yes, definitely.
The young general Nuo left in response, and Luo Xiaobei sat opposite me, and said angrily: "You are proud now, you have suddenly become a celebrity of the Linshui clan, and you are still qualified to participate in the banquet with the highest treatment, you are very proud, right?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No." ”
Luo Xiaobei pointed at me and said no? Look at your eyebrows upturned, your eyes are looking up at the sky, you must be very beautiful in your heart, right?
I knew that Luo Xiaobei was a little girl's mentality, and she was a little surprised by the change in my status, and she was not annoyed, but explained to her: "Xiaobei, Kuai Mengyun has a high status in the Linshui clan, and he is one of the leaders of the hunting team, you really don't have to worry about anything if you hold his thigh; But have you ever thought about what would happen if the place you went to this time was too dangerous, and even caused a lot of casualties? ”
I suddenly mentioned this topic, Luo Xiaobei was a little surprised, thought for a while, and then replied: "It should stop, but so what, I will go alone, there is no problem." ”
I nodded, and said that you are very skilled, so naturally there is no problem, but if there are local natives who are familiar with the forest, things should be much better, right?
She said yes, and then what?
I stared at her and said calmly, "And then, the sister of the leader of the guard, the lover of his dreams, is never as important as a doctor who can cure the sick and save lives, this is life. With me, the strength of the dispatch team will only be stronger and the determination will be stronger, and these will be beneficial to you! ”
After hearing me say this, Luo Xiaobei was stunned for a while, and then he let out a long sigh and said, "You persuaded me." ”
I didn't get complacent, but kept my mouth shut.
Luo Xiaobei carefully savored these words for a while, and then looked at me directly for a while, before he said: "Lu Yan, you have impressed me again and again, telling me, in addition to the beast control, Gu release, healing, and some kind of magic weapon that Nasumeru uses mustard seeds, what other skills do you have that surprise me?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders and said that every moment of life is different and wonderful, waiting for you to discover, and so am I.
Luo Xiaobei suddenly smiled and said I don't know why, I suddenly feel that you are a little similar to your cousin Lu Zuo.
Is this a compliment?
I stood up and said to her, "Okay, I'm going to the feast, I don't know if it will involve hunting with you, but I'll try to help you get it; And you, just here await the news of my triumphant return. ”
I walked slowly out of the room, and a maid was waiting at the door, guiding me to the place where the feast was to be.
At this moment, the sky is twilight, the lights are on, looking at this village full of ancient charm, my heart is quite emotional.
From a subordinate who could only sleep in a shack when he entered last night, to see this Luo Xiaobei being introduced into a good house to talk about the past, to now becoming a guest of the Linshui clan, even Luo Xiaobei is not qualified to go to the banquet, it only took me one day to complete the counterattack.
I am not proud of all this, but I understand the importance of knowledge more and more.
And that's gratitude.
Without the Miao Gu mastery that Lu Zuo taught me, and without the Qiankun sac that the worms gave me, I must still be squatting in that narrow shack at the moment, being looked down upon by Luo Xiaobei.
As I walked all the way to the brightly lit place, I took a deep breath and told myself as I walked into the hall.
Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.
Don't be shocked by the humiliation, Fang shows the true colors of a man.
I walked slowly into the banquet, a little earlier than the appointed time, and saw that most of the people in the banquet hall had already come, and Kuai Mengyun saw that I was being introduced, and quickly stood up and came to greet me.
Not only him, but other important people also got up and threw their hands towards me.
Xiao Jiangnuo told me that the Linshui clan advocates force and respects the strong, but in my place it has changed, everyone is polite to me, after all, no one is sick, just like Elder Song, a person with a strong physique and no illness and disaster in his life, if he is not careful, he will collapse, no one can say.
For the sake of that uncertain future, it is really necessary to make friends with a doctor with good skills.
I greeted everyone politely, and Kuai Mengyun took my hand and led me to the table to the left of the main table and sat down.
This banquet follows the ancient rites, in the middle is the position of the patriarch, and then the tables are distributed on the left and right sides, each person sits alone at a table, according to the status of the person, although I don't know the rules here, but I also know that the first place on the left side of the main table, should be quite respectful, hurriedly pushed, said can't be, can't be, so many elders here, how can I sit there? Accompany the last seat!
Kuai Mengyun undoubtedly pressed me in front of the couch and said, "This can be done in the future, but not today-today is personally appointed by the patriarch, saying that you saved Elder Song, this is a great achievement, and you must have this courtesy." ”
I still refused, and at this time, others spoke out to persuade me, but I couldn't refuse, and only after making a sufficient gesture did I agree to sit down.
After a while, people came one after another, and even Elder Song, who had just recovered from a serious illness, was supported and sat opposite me, that is, the first seat to the right of the main seat.
He was still in poor spirits, but he was much better than he was unconscious, and he bowed slightly at me to express his gratitude.
I didn't dare to be proud of my merits, so I hurriedly bowed my body.
After some twists and turns, a bell rang and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, but there was an old woman dressed richly, supported by four beautiful maids, and walked up to the main seat from behind.
As soon as the old woman appeared, everyone straightened up, and as soon as she was seated, everyone bowed to her and said, "I've seen my mother." ”
Belch......
Is this the patriarch, why does everyone call her "Mom"?
I was puzzled, but I soon remembered the custom that the young general had told me about the fact that the tribes here had no parents, and that after the age of two they would gather together and raise them, and eventually the patriarch would be their parents.
This custom is really a bit of a pain in the ass.
I complained in my heart, but I had to bow respectfully, the old woman was quite old, with old age spots and some obesity, but also a kind face, she looked around, her eyes fell on me, and asked with a smile: "You are the doctor who saved Song?" ”
I straightened up and bowed yes.
The old woman seemed interested in me, and asked me a few more questions, which I answered properly.
She looked very happy, put her hands on the case, and said loudly: "My Linshui clan has obtained such a skilled doctor, and Elder Song, who almost died, has regained his senses, such a lucky good thing, it must be the favor of God, before the feast, we need to sacrifice - come here, find two clean prey, and we will sacrifice to the heavens!" ”
Hearing this, everyone rejoiced, but I didn't know what was going to happen, but I felt that the music had become a little solemn, which made people's hearts choked.
A few minutes later, the items of the blood sacrifice were pulled up, but they were a man and a woman, two people.
The two men were stripped clean, their hands and feet tied, and placed on the stone altar in the middle of the banquet hall.
I was startled, and when I looked closely, I saw that the woman was actually the maid Ann who was waiting for me to wash up in the morning.
