10. Gua Sha

Merlin came out of the Abbey of Mitchell just as the sun rose right in the middle of the sky. There was not a trace of wind, and the leaves on the side of the road were like wilted puppies, drooping their ears and lying on their stomachs and refusing to move. At this time, even the birds refused to come out to move, it was too hot, and Merlin opened his linen robe open, sweating profusely. If Marian was here, he would definitely ridicule Merlin for not being a civilized person, but the Visigoths were originally barbarians from the Great Northern Wasteland, and although they had carved out a space of their own in the Endless Ocean, in the eyes of the people of the Holy Empire, these big men with red hair and blue eyes were still uncivilized barbarians, and although their castles were full of gold coins, they were still looked down upon by those of the Holy Empire.

But there is nothing surprising about this, just as the people of the Holy Empire were looked down upon by the Greeks, Stiricus also bought a Greek slave to teach his children the etiquette and art of civilization. Teacher Marion was the Greek slave who knew the lingua franca, the etiquette of the classical Greek court, and the art of the Holy City.

However, between the heat death and the profligate corpse, Merlin did not hesitate to choose the latter, the essence of civilization lies in thought, Merlin opened up the white linen gown, and began to miss the real cool vest of five dollars a piece on the roadside stall of the Empire. But at this time, even if you take off your clothes, it is useless, because there is no wind at all.

"Let's find a cooler place, and wait until the heat is over before we go and meet with Bill and them!" Merlin said to himself, Merlin and Bill agreed to meet before dusk, Merlin originally planned to go to the market to hang out, but now it seems that he can only do it, I knew that I should not insist on leaving the monastery just now, you must know that there are gusts of cool breeze blowing from time to time in the bamboo forest just now. After leaving, the whole person felt like he had entered a furnace, and after only a while, he was covered in sweat.

Merlin was always accompanied by two guards, who came out of Adrianople to escort Merlin to the Ashhearth, and their purpose was to protect Merlin's safety.

"Yes, Your Highness, it's too hot!" replied the two guards, who were not as relaxed as Merlin, and who were still wearing leather armor. It's going to be covered in stinky sweat.

"Help, help!" Just as the three of them were about to leave the mainland and walk into the woods on the side of the road, a shout came from a carriage not far ahead, and a person poked his head out of the curtain of the carriage and looked around anxiously.

Merlin instinctively ran over, as a grassroots cadre of the empire, learning from Lei Feng to do good deeds has become Merlin's instinct, anxious about what the people are anxious about, and what the people suffer has become Merlin's code of action.

"Is there anything I can do for you, beautiful lady?" asked Merlin, putting his open clothes back on, as he stood under the carriage.

"My mother-in-law is dying, can anyone save her?" said the people in the carriage with a crying voice.

"In front of the beautiful lady is the Abbey of Michel in Hippo, and the monks in it can save people!" Merlin said, the monks of the Arius Academy are very good at curing diseases and saving people, and Merlin does not think it is a good choice to play treasure at the gate of people's houses.

"No, we came out of the convent of Michelle, they said, they said," the anxious girl burst out crying at once, tears streaming down her face.

Merlin opened the curtain of the carriage, and a sweet fragrance came to his face, and in the carriage lay a gray-haired, wrinkled mother-in-law. Merlin jumped into the carriage and lifted the old woman's wrist up.

Merlin, of course, knew how to heal, he could just feel the old woman's heartbeat by the pulse on her wrist. Her dry wrists were extremely hot, and the old woman's face was flushed, her snort was weak, and her lips were white.

She was suffering from heat stroke, and Merlin was quick to make a judgment. Even at the peak of the Empire's medical skills, heat stroke was a very dangerous thing. This is due to an electrolyte imbalance caused by massive dehydration, which in turn increases body temperature, resulting in shock.

"I can save her," Merlin said, turning the old woman over and lying on her back, "but I need a bowl of water!"

"Yes, we have water!" the crying girl stopped her tears, and hurriedly turned out a kettle, but in her panic she couldn't open the lid.

"Give it to me!" Merlin snatched the kettle, "Bowl, hurry, I want a bowl." ”

The girl's hand flashed, and a golden carved bowl appeared out of thin air in the carriage. Merlin grabbed the golden bowl and filled it with water.

"Silver, I want a silver coin. Merlin exclaimed.

"No, gold coins won't work!"

"No, gold coins don't work, I want silver coins, preferably pure silver coins. Merlin looked around anxiously, in fact, he had a lot of silver coins on his body, but the silver coins were all in the system's package, and he refused to take out a silver coin out of thin air in front of strangers at this time.

Suddenly, Merlin's eyes lit up, and he stared at the white earrings on the girl's ears, "Maybe your earrings can, they're made of silver, right?"

"Yes, silver, sterling silver!" the girl shuddered and removed the earrings and placed them in the carriage.

"Very good, this is okay," Merlin picked up the silver earrings, just now only noticed that the material of the earrings is silver, when he held it in his hand, he found that the earrings had extremely delicate and delicate freesia patterns on them, Merlin took the earrings and tried them in his palm, very handy.

With a stabbing sound, Merlin tore a slit in the old woman's back.

"What are you going to do?" Merlin only felt his eyes flicker, the stuffiness in the carriage dissipated a little, and a sharp short knife exuded an icy chill, only a finger's distance from Merlin's neck.

"I'm saving someone!" Merlin blinked, raised his hand, and carefully studied the girl with the short knife, her long chestnut hair tied back in a bunch. The blue eyes that were as clear as water could not hide the panic inside. The two black eyebrows are curved like tiny willow leaves, and the lips still bear the marks of the teeth they have just bitten. "If it's a little later, believe me, even St. Thomas can't save her. ”

"Well, I'll believe you once!" the dagger left Merlin's neck. It was as if the girl's strength had been exhausted a moment ago.

Merlin picked up the silver earrings, dipped them in a little water from the golden bowl, and began to scrape on the old woman's back, once, twice, and soon a red mark appeared on the white back, and the red mark after two more scratches turned purple-black. Merlin changed places, and soon the old woman's back turned purple-black.

With a groan, the old woman coughed, and the person came to his senses.
