Chapter 20: Knife Creation: Gao Ling
"Old man, I'm Zhang Meng who sent Gao Ling over a few days ago, well, at night!"
"Zhang Meng? Well——, yes, it was dark that night, I couldn't see clearly, there was a tall man, yes, just like your height, when I left, I said that my name was Zhang Meng, and I came back to see us in a few days, is that you? ”
"That's right. It's me, it's me. Old man, is Gao Ling okay? ”
"Okay, big bag on my head, I put herbs on her during the day, three days, three days will be fine." When the old man said this, he was still puzzled, so he asked, "How do you know my daughter?" Also saved her. ”
When he asked like this, Zhang Meng couldn't answer for a while, paused for a moment, and said: "Old man, I didn't know Gao Ling before, that is, that night, that night, we defeated Cao Bing, and we saw General Cao Bing, and we saw a girl who fell off her horse and passed out, and we asked Cao Bing prisoner, knowing that you and your daughter live here, so we sent her back, and Cao Bing said that your daughter's name is Gao Ling." ”
"Oh——, Cao Bing, these bastards, who should be killed, snatched my child······"
When the old hunter said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I am fighting with them, and there are many of them······ Snatched up! Well, thanks to you. Thank you. Hurry up, come inside and talk. ”
The old man said and led the way, and Zhang Meng and his entourage came to the old man's door. The black dog in the courtyard happily turned around Zhang Meng and bypassed the intimacy, and the old man scolded him before he went to the side and lay down and looked here.
At this time, Gao Ling watched Zhang Meng and his party get closer and closer, as if she recognized Zhang Meng, and for some reason, she turned around and entered the house without coming out to meet her.
When the old man saw it, he shouted, "Girl, come out quickly, I have seen your savior." Boil water, boil water to guests. ”
Gao Ling in the house replied in a low voice: "Got it, Dad, you talk, I'll boil water." As he spoke, when he went out to get firewood and grass, he stared at Zhang Meng deeply, smiled hard, nodded, and went into the house to boil water.
The old man laughed and muttered, "This girl is ashamed, embarrassed to see people!" This is your savior. Hehe. As he spoke, he set aside a few wooden piers and invited Zhang Meng and Ma San'er to sit down.
Zhang Meng saw it, and first introduced a few words: "Old man, we are Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's people, we love the people, we won't be like Cao Bing, don't worry." ”
"Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, I know, wasn't it in Hanzhong more than ten years ago, did you fight with Cao Cao's soldiers and horses? At that time, I was young, and I was a soldier and a military doctor in Cao Cao. Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's soldiers are good and do not disturb the people. Cao Bing! It's simply not a thing! The old man hated again and cursed.
As soon as Zhang Meng heard that the old man had been a military doctor, he became interested, put down other topics, and asked, "Your old man is a military doctor?" Why don't you do it? ”
"Hey! Old, the exit is coming. Cao Bing is not a good team, he does all kinds of bad things, our temper, where can we mix? However, in order to eat, I mixed there for a few years, and when I came back, I had no land to produce a home, so I lived here, in this deep mountain and old forest, far away from people, and lived by hunting and digging medicine in exchange for some rations. ”
"What herbs? What kind of herbs are you digging up? ”
"In this deep mountain and old forest, there are all kinds of medicinal materials, No-" The old man shook his head when he said this, and motioned to the medicinal materials dried on the shelf, please Zhang Meng take a look.
Looking at the medicinal materials drying on the wooden shelves on the case, Zhang Meng got up to check it, but he didn't know him.
The old man introduced: "They are all medicinal materials that go to the wind and cold and treat the spleen and stomach, and there are many people in the army who suffer from these spleen and stomach diseases. Nuo, this is a hemostatic drug, this is the largest dosage, this is thistle, used to stop bleeding, this dosage is large, when the soldiers fight, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, the knife wounds, bleeding a lot, this thistle, dried, ground into flour, stop bleeding, the most spiritual, take a little and put it on the wound, no matter how heavy the wound is, it will stop when it goes down, and it will scab over in a few days, hehe, never suppurate. Hehehehe······ No one else knows, but I am the only one who knows the efficacy of this medicine. In Cao Bing, they all called me 'a little spirit'. Hehehehehe. The old man laughed proudly.
At this moment, after listening to the old man's words, Zhang Meng seemed to be empowered for a while, and suddenly his heart suddenly became open-minded, and he shouted repeatedly: "Hey, hey, old man, stop the bleeding——? Oh——, it's good now, it's good now! Old man, come to us, go to our Prime Minister Zhuge to be a soldier. We offer your old man as a god. As he spoke, he grabbed a few thistles, looked down at the powdered thistle powder in the wooden pot, pinched the powder and put it in his mouth, and tasted: "Oh, it's good, it's not tasteful, it's good." ”
Zhang Meng said and pinched it again and wiped it into Ma San'er's mouth, saying, "You taste, you taste, you can eat!" ”
Zhang Meng was very excited for a while, he jumped up excitedly, jumped around, came over and hugged the old man, sent the old man up, and even sent the old man into the air, and reached out to catch it. Then he calmed down, looked down and thought for a moment, and said, "If it is really so effective, old man, how many lives have you saved our soldiers!" ”
At this time, Gao Ling had already boiled water, poured it into a clay basin, brought it out, put it on the case next to it, went into the house and took out three wooden bowls, poured three bowls of boiling water to cool, and said, "Zhang Meng, you, please drink water." Speaking of this, watching Zhang Meng and them drink water, he took a breath and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Meng, when did you become a soldier?" How? Also became an officer? You say, you······ Alas, let's talk about it again, and wait until we have the chance. ”
Zhang Meng asked, looked at the old man, and then at Ma San'er, couldn't answer for a while, and snorted: "Alas——, this, this-alas, well, let's talk about it later." ”
Gao Ling listened, turned around and entered the house, leaving a sentence: "Don't say anything, let's talk about it later." The old man looked at it, stared straight at Zhang Meng, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Gao Ling in the room, and asked suspiciously: "You two have known each other for a long time?" It seems that we have known each other for a long time. ”
Zhang Meng couldn't answer for a while, so he just lowered his head and muttered, "No." It's just that when we met for the first time on the battlefield a few days ago, I felt that it was familiar. ”
The old man said, my old couple only has such a daughter. This child has been sensible and obedient since he was a child, and he has known to help with things outside the family since he was a child, but unfortunately her mother left early, leaving this poor child.
As soon as she had a headache and brain fever, I was afraid of being anxious. Fortunately, this child has a good physique, rarely has a plague since he was a child, and occasionally has a cold and flu, and I also know medical skills, and I have never let her suffer grievances. ”2021.10.10
