Tao Xiaozhi lay there stiffly, unable to move. Pain, bones are in pain, the mind is in pain, joints are in pain, ligaments are in pain, muscles are in pain, stomach and intestines are in pain, liver and spleen are in pain, heart is in pain, whole body is in pain, even hair, blood, and thoughts are in pain; heat, bones are hot, the mind is hot, joints are hot, ligaments are hot, muscles are hot, stomach and intestines are hot, liver and spleen are hot, heart is hot, whole body is hot, even hair, blood, and thoughts are hot. Because of the pain and heat, his consciousness cleared up, and because he was awake, it was even more painful and hot.

He opened his eyes, and there was fog in them. It's hot gas, green hot gas. He lay on a stone bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages, like a mummy. It was like a hole, and there was nothing in the cave except for this rockfall. There are many small holes around the hole, and green heat is spewed out from the small holes. There was also light in the cave, a yellow light, emitted by a golden and translucent stone. This stone is somewhat similar to Dimensity, but the light is not as dazzling as Dimensity, it is faint, just enough to barely illuminate the entire cave. This hole doesn't seem to have an opening, so I wonder if it's a dead hole. But how did he get in? His head hurt even more.

Maybe this is another dream, Tao Xiaozhi thought, I was obviously caught in the whirlpool of that strange lake.

But who is sure that being caught up in the strange lake is not a dream?

Tao Xiaozhi looked at his chest, and the snow-white fangs were still lying there.

What about the enchanted sword? Tao Xiaozhi glanced around, it didn't seem to be here.

What the hell is going on, Tao Xiaozhi thought, who can tell me all this!

At this moment, the roof of the cave "rumbled", and then a soft beam of sunlight shone in, and a hole three feet long and three feet wide appeared on the roof of the cave. Through this hole, you can see the lush towering trees, the birds singing happily, the monkeys jumping and playing, and the fresh air blowing in the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

Tao Xiaozhi was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, an old vine hung down from the hole, and a person slowly climbed down along the vine. The man had blue skin, thick and curly snow-white hair, a long, thick beard with a white chin and a small braid, eyes that were turquoise like a piece of emerald, a nose that was as large as a steamed bun, and a nose with hair that grew to the side of the mouth, like two brushes in his nostrils, and looked very funny. He carried a bamboo basket containing dozens of brown jars, shaped the size of a teapot, and a wooden box in the basket.

Tao Xiaozhi exclaimed: "What a cool old man!"

The blue-skinned old man laughed "hehe", his face was blue with laughter, wrinkles writhing, and his nose hairs curled up like a brush.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Where, where, yellow people are really joking!"

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Your skin is really stylish, how did you get tanned like this? And your beard is also braided, it's really cool!"

"It's not tanned, it's a natural complexion. The old man said, "I'm a blue." ”

"Blue people?" Tao Xiaozhi said, "What is a blue people?"

The old man said: "The blue race is a kind of human race, but the skin color is blue, and the eyes and hair are a little different from you yellow people. ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "Who are you? Why am I here?"

The old man said: "Everyone else calls me 'old man with pigtails', I am a pharmacist, and sometimes a part-time veterinarian, and the people and animals in this village will come to me when they are sick." You were sent by a shepherd, and you were lying by the river with multiple broken bones, bloody, and a strange poison, but fortunately he found it in time, or you would have died long ago. ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What kind of place is this?"

"This is the Steaming Cave, don't talk anymore, you're a sick person now. The old man with pigtails said, "If you have anything to say later, it's time to treat your injuries." ”

The old man with pigtails put down the bamboo basket, arranged the jars in the basket on the stone collapse, then took out a black cloth from his pocket, covered his nose and mouth, and pulled out a sharp knife from the wooden box.

Tao Xiaozhi exclaimed: "Do you want to kill people?"

The old man with pigtails smiled and said: "I am a doctor, and it is not my job to kill people and kill people!"

Tao Xiaozhi smiled bitterly: "It's just a part-time job." ”

The old man with braids used a sharp knife to pick open the bandage on Tao Xiaozhi's chest, and a huge scar had become inflamed, with a lot of thick bubbles, and began to festering in a large area, and the stench was unpleasant. This scar is due to Zhao Tugang.

The old man with pigtails used a knife to scrape off the thick bubbles on it and opened a jar containing a green liquid. He poured the green liquid from the jar on the wound on Tao Xiaozhi's chest, and the wound immediately burst into a burst of green foam, making a "snort" sound.

Tao Xiaozhi was so painful that the green tendons on his neck burst out, his face was flushed, because his whole body was unable to move, only his head could still move, he swung his neck from side to side, and his eyes almost jumped out.

Tao Xiaozhi said hoarsely: "Please, doctor, you still stab me to death, so that I will die more comfortably." ”

The old man with braids took out the medicinal powder from the wooden box and sprinkled it on the wound, then took out a new bandage and bandaged Tao Xiaozhi's chest again.

The old man with pigtails said: "The trauma is basically completed. Let's start treating the internal injuries now. ”

Tao Xiaozhi cried and said: "Doctor, please trouble me or end up with me! I will thank you for your great kindness in the kingdom of heaven." ”

The old man with the braided beard opened a jar containing a quarter of brown liquid, which was pungent.

The old man with pigtails said: "This is a mixture of the most poisonous snake venom in the world, scorpion venom and centipede venom. ”

Tao Xiaozhi's eyes widened.

The old man with pigtails took out another jar containing a quarter of purple liquid, and the jar wafted a foul smell.

The old man with pigtails said: "This is a mixture of the most smelly horse urine, cow urine and pig urine in the world.

Tao Xiaozhi was almost fainted by the smoke, swallowed his saliva, and nodded.

The old man with pigtails poured it into the first jar.

The old man with pigtails opened the third jar, which contained a quarter of the blue liquid, and Tao Xiaozhi was so smoked by the gas floating out of it that tears soared.

The old man with pigtails said: "This is a mixture of the hottest peppers, the bitterest bitter gourd and the most sour plums in the world. ”

Tao Xiaozhi's face turned iron blue, and his lips trembled constantly.

The old man with pigtails poured it into the first jar and stirred it with a small stick, and the jar was steaming, and the smell was harsh and pungent.

The old man with pigtails laughed and said, "It'll be fine soon." ”

Tao Xiaozhi said: "What are you doing with it?"

"Drink. The old man with pigtails smiled, "I'll drink it for you." ”

Tao Xiaozhi fainted immediately, but the disaster was still inevitable, because he met a doctor, and of course the doctor knew how to wake up a fainting patient.

But Tao Xiaozhi was still pretending to be dead, and the two rows of teeth were clenched together.

"No need to pretend, I'm a doctor, can this trick be hidden from me?" said the old man with pigtails, "whether you are dead or alive, you must drink the doctor's medicine, it is all beneficial and harmless." ”

The old man with pigtails pinched Tao Xiaozhi's chin, pulled out Tao Xiaozhi's two rows of teeth, stuffed a funnel into his mouth, and then poured the jar of pungent and foul-smelling mixture into it.
