Chapter 7: Silo
"That's a big delay, let's go into the house first." Wu Jinghong's expression became solemn, and together with the child, the old man who was coughing kept coughing was helped into the house, the earthen house was empty, and there was only a wooden bed and a bed made of earth and stone. There was no bedding on the bed, only some hay, and a few layers of clothing were added to the hay on the plank bed.
"Hmm......" Wu Jinghong took the pulse, and his face became more solemn.
"Doctor, how is Grandma?" The child stood nervously to the side, standing straight with his little hands, looking like a little adult.
After a long time, Wu Jinghong slowly withdrew his hand, and raised his hand to pinch the old man's mouth to observe. This is the first case since she learned art, and the old man's situation is really not optimistic, and she is not blamed for being so cautious.
Without pen and paper, you can't write a prescription seriously, but medicinal materials are a must. Wu Jinghong walked back and forth, suddenly remembered something, and asked the child, "Do you know where the carriage that came today is now?" ”
"I know, but my grandmother ......"
"You take me to the carriage first, there are medicinal herbs I need." Wu Jinghong didn't say a word and pulled the child out of the door, the old man had just calmed down and fell asleep, and he couldn't wake up for a while, she wanted to take advantage of this time to find all the medicinal materials to dispense.
"But, doctor, don't you charge money to practice medicine?" The child was dragged and walked a few steps before stopping, and said timidly, "We've run out of coils......
Wu Jinghong sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head and said, "I don't take money, don't worry, I'm just to save people, what's the use of asking for money." ”
Hearing this, the child happily raised his head and looked at her again, his big bright eyes flickering, "Really? You don't take money? ”
"Hmm."
"It's good to practice medicine! It's not like those old doctors, who don't see a doctor if they don't give money, so can you give Si Luo and them a look? They were injured and dragged with no one to see. ”
"Who is Silo? Where are they? ”
The child was happy and walked fast, and explained to Wu Jinghong as he walked, "Si Luo is our boss, they are all in this village now, they are all children without a father, two days ago they followed a few adults to hunt in the mountains and were injured, and they have not been cured yet!" ”
Wu Jinghong's footsteps slowly stopped, and he thought, "Look at this, let's go find the carriage first, get the medicinal herbs, and dispense the medicine for your grandmother, and you will take me to see Siluo." ”
"Good!" The child was so happy that he could barely close his mouth, "You are so nice! It's good to practice medicine! It would be nice to practice more medicine! ”
Wu Jinghong also smiled faintly, and pulled the child to continue walking.
After walking out of the mountain with dense earthen houses, I slowly descended along the winding mountain road, and soon came to another place of residence, but most of the houses here stood against the mountain, made of wood and stone, and looked neat and much stronger.
"Here ......" was walking when he saw a group of ragged people at the end of the road.
"It's Big Brother Siluo!" The child suddenly became excited, broke free and took his hand and ran forward, "Doctor, come on, Brother Siluo is here!" ”
The child's shout caused a movement in the crowd, and everyone's attention was attracted, but they saw a charity-looking old woman trotting behind the child.
Wu Jinghong saw those eyes again from a distance, fierce in fear, pure with vicissitudes, like a group of little beasts with teeth, eyeing everyone close to him.
Wu Jinghong chased after the child, a little panting, but he didn't care about resting, and walked straight towards the carriage, and the crowd of onlookers made a way for her, which also made her see the person standing by the carriage in the middle of the crowd at a glance.
"Jiu...... Little Nine? ”
His name quickly turned around and went back, she secretly said that it was dangerous, and when she turned her eyes, she saw the little girl he was carrying upside down, "Are you Yue?" ”
“…… There you are. Jiuzun glanced at her coldly, and this glance seemed to say tens of millions of words, which made Wu Jinghong's heart skip a beat - this person, sure enough, knows everything, and really brought me here on purpose! He is worthy of being the world-famous Hades!
"Since you're here, then this little guy, I'll give it back to them."
With a "plop", Qin Yue'e, who was thrown out by Jiuzun, didn't say a word, and quickly got up, and on her dirty face, the pair of black eyes grunted, looked at both Jiuzun and Wu Jinghong, and then silently turned around and got into the crowd.
"Hehe, what, are you still afraid that I won't go back?" Wu Jinghong deliberately ignored the obvious coldness on Jiuzun's face, and climbed into the carriage with a "sigh", and turned out a flower cloth package under the seat, "I said that I would swim together to save people, how could I break my word, am I a person who does not believe in my words in your eyes?" ”
After that, Wu Jinghong stopped the movement in his hand and looked directly at Jiuzun with his eyes quietly, "No matter what you know, I'm still an old man who needs to go to the Rain Country with you to seek an antidote." ”
Jiuzun blinked, the coldness gradually dissipated, but he still looked very unhappy on his face, and said in a low voice, "They alone can't take you away, not to mention the more difficult dangers you will face when you go back." ”
"Yes, yes, staying by Xiao Jiu's side is the safest." Wu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, got out of the carriage with the package, held his waist and said softly, "I always remember your help, and I cherish it as much as Master, Hua Shao's life-saving grace!" ”
That's pretty much it. Jiuzun's eyes clearly wrote these big words, but his face was still cold, "Then old doctor, is it time to get down to business?" ”
In the crowd, the child grabbed a teenage boy with excitement on his face, and his voice was loud and startled the birds on the tall trees in the distance, "Brother Siluo, listen to me!" Here comes a practice of medicine! She treated my grandma! ”
It looked like the boy who was about ten years old pursed his lips and was silent, he was not tall, but his body was straight, his eyes were deeply sunken in his sockets, and his dark eyes were wrapped in a fierce aura. His eyebrows were a little messy, but they were extraordinarily thick, and his whole face looked like a child with a pair of pursed mouths.
"Don't move, big brother is still injured!" A young man who followed closely beside Si Luo lowered his voice, but his momentum did not diminish at all, and he forced the child back several steps with one sentence, stood there crampedly, looked left and right, and waved to Wu Jinghong by the carriage, "Doctor, Brother Si Luo is here!" ”
Wu Jinghong smiled slightly, and walked over unhurriedly, "Grandma's condition cannot be delayed, let's go back and dispense medicine for grandma first, and then it's not too late to show Si Luo." ”
"Not necessarily." Without waiting for the child's smile to expand, Si Luo stiffened down the sentence, and then took a steady step, "If you have the slightest intention of harming others, I won't care that you are an old woman!" ”
"Tsk, what an unlovely child!" Jiuzun glared viciously behind him, "If we were harmful, you would have seen Hades a long time ago!" ”
"What do you say......"
There was a child next to him whose eyes were almost out of his sockets, but before he could finish his rebuttal, he was blocked by Si Luo's hand. The little boy's solemn gaze stayed on Jiuzun, and he suddenly grinned, but his smile and voice were full of bloodthirsty cruelty-
"The world is undecided, the wicked are in charge, who lives and who dies, it is difficult to tell!"
"What are these words? Even if there is chaos after the war, the wicked cannot be allowed to rule. Wu Jinghong handed the package to Jiuzun, pulled the child by himself, and finally glanced at Nasluo, and said seriously, "Especially these children, they survived to become demons and demons. ”
The footsteps faded away, and Si Luo let out a sigh of relief, his red eyes blinked, and he was hugged by the young man on the side, "Big brother, are you okay?" ”
"That medical boy is not simple, they are afraid that they are pretending to be doctors and medical children in order to attract people's eyes, and they sent people to keep an eye on them!"
"Yes!" The young man turned his face and glanced at the few teenagers waiting on the side, and then left with Si Luo, "But big brother, your injury can't be delayed, since that old woman knows medical skills, it is better to tie her up tonight." ”
Hearing this, Si Luo paused, furrowed his brows and glanced at his left arm, his tattered sleeves slightly revealing a little scarlet rotten meat, and the smell emanating from it was even more pungent. Unexpectedly, the beast was still a little poisonous, so that this wound could not be solved with simple herbs.
“…… Don't worry, let's talk about it in a few days! ”
After thinking for a long time, Siluo finally shook his head.
"Mother-in-law, can grandma get better after drinking medicine?"
"In addition to decocting the medicine on time, you also have to make sure that grandma will not get angry and sad, and emotional ups and downs will also affect her condition." Wu Jinghong said seriously while sorting out the remaining medicinal materials, "Take good care of your grandmother, the old man is old, and his body is already very fragile. ”
"I know, I'll take good care of grandma!"
Wu Jinghong smiled faintly, straightened up and looked at Jiuzun who was standing outside the door, "Xiao Jiu, let's go find Si Luo." ”
Jiuzun looked back at her and showed a hearty smile, just like he was on the Holy Medicine Mountain a year ago, "Is that the stinky kid just now?" I don't know where he is, at least not now he's still crouching in front of our carriage. ”
"Bao'er said that they have their own territory."
The so-called territory is just a few mountains divided by the villagers of Potou Village for the "outsiders", and as for which one they want, it depends on the strength of these "outsiders" themselves.
People like Bao'er's ancestors and grandchildren are the most vulnerable place to danger - the lower reaches of the Liang River, close to the riverbank, the terrain is low, and there are few people, and it is a place that wild animals in the mountains like to visit.
Bao'er said that Siluo was actually bitten by a wild beast to protect their grandparents.
Thinking of this, Wu Jinghong couldn't help but sigh, when she first saw Si Luo, she smelled the smell of rotten flesh emanating from Si Luo's body, and she thought that it was not light.
"That kind of stubborn child, he can only be convinced by a beating!" Jiuzun looked at her face and said with a smile, "Even if you don't care about him, I will still come to beg you in the end!" ”
Wu Jinghong smiled and shook her head, and walked in the direction that Bao'er had shown her, "Have you ever wondered why Si Luo gathered these orphans who were left behind after the war? ”
Jiuzun laughed, and said without thinking about it, "Didn't he say it himself?" The world is undecided, the wicked are in charge, this stinky boy is afraid that he has a bear heart hahaha! ”
“…… King Shura. Wu Jinghong stopped, slowly turned his head to look at the big boy who was laughing happily beside him, and said word by word, "It's you who let them flow here." ”
Jiuzun's laughter stopped abruptly, and there was no aftersound, and in those clear and bright phoenix eyes, the dark storm disappeared in an instant.
"If it weren't for the eighteen-year-long Eighteen Emperors Rebellion, they would have been homeless? Will they be hungry and cold? Will they turn into wild ghosts? As if he didn't notice the dimness, he continued to press step by step, his indifferent eyes did not shy away at all, "I don't know what war means to you, but for children, war is the beginning of all evil!" ”
