Chapter 13 Bezoar

For Wang Ershan, it doesn't matter what kind of immortal master or anything like that, the important thing is to let his eldest brother go home to recuperate.

After seventeen or eighteen days of travel, the father and son finally saw the outline of the capital, but a large river blocked their way, and the boats had been looted by the group of noble children, so they could only stay in the town next to the river embankment and wait for empty boats.

Another seven or eight days passed, and Wang Ershan's entanglement was also used up, so he had to sell a horse, and used the money to buy a horse to find someone to make a small boat, and then took his own boy and another horse into the big river.

For Wang Ershan, although weapons, luggage, horses, and boats were all taken away by the flood, fortunately, the father and son finally swam to the other side. For the king beast, the package on its back was not lost, and other things did not matter.

The flood broke down several embankments, bringing disaster to the people around the embankment, but these disasters had nothing to do with the father and son of the king beast, who were penniless and had to follow a group of refugees to live in a ruined temple on the embankment.

The king beast was surprised to find that there are temples everywhere in this great victorious country, and the titles are also varied, including what immortal masters, bodhisattvas, real ancestors, mountain gods, water gods, etc., not only human beings, but also demon beasts, as well as flowers, birds, fish and insects, etc., some have incense and believers, and some have long been dilapidated.

The temple is made of stone and is spacious enough to have nine rooms, three large houses in the front row and three small houses on each side of the backyard, and although there are many refugees, it is not crowded.

After settling down, the refugees discussed the cause of the disaster, and many said that they saw two immortal masters fighting in the river, and one of the immortal masters who stepped on the flying sword made a spell, so the flood appeared.

For that immortal master, some people stomped their feet and scolded, some sighed, some people were envious and jealous, and some people remained silent, because these immortal masters were beyond the law of the country, and even the emperor had to serve respectfully.

As the saying goes, it's better to die than to live!

Although the flood waters have not receded, people still have to live! Some brave refugees took the opportunity to fish some freshly drowned poultry and livestock from the river, and after disposing of them, they set up bonfires so that their families could have a full meal.

After all, Wang Ershan is a master of art and bold, he actually caught an old cow, and suddenly envied a large number of people, but he is not a person who likes to eat alone, and he generously shared most of it with others, leaving only some steaks and a cow bladder, and many people were secretly grateful to this generous hero for a while.

Many people know that a cow's bladder is a good thing, and after drying it first, it can be made into a water bag or keju by wrapping it in a layer of cowhide. Of course, Wang Ershan will definitely not make a bow.

He knew that what he needed was a water bag, and that after the flood would inevitably be plagued, how could the river water be drunk at will, and that he could continue to live with a safe source of water.

The cow gall had already been taken away by the king beast, and the rest of the tripe, cow shutters, cow hearts and other things were divided among the refugees and cleaned up separately!

The king beast broke through the gall of the ox, and finally saw four yellow stones the size of his fingers, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: Sure enough, there is a bezoar!

Wang Ershan saw his son's surprise appearance, and couldn't help laughing: If you like it, when you arrive in the capital, your father will give you some whole!

An old man said with a smile: "Young man, there is a street of medicinal herbs in the capital, and these things are sold by catties!

Yes, the people around echoed the words, after all, they have short hands and eat other people's soft mouths. Although the bezoar is a precious medicinal herb that can be exchanged for a few pennies, it is not uncommon for farmers in the plains to keep a few oxen.

As we all know, the bezoar has the six major medicinal effects of relieving wind and spasmodic, clearing heat and detoxifying, dissolving phlegm and opening the body, but I don't know that this thing has other wonderful uses. For those who have practiced the bullfighting method, the bezoar is not only one of the materials for making talismans, but also a natural panacea.

It was getting late, and everyone rested after a full meal, although their sad and angry faces were on their faces, but they were helpless!

Before dawn the next day, many people woke up, they helped the old and the young, and rushed to the capital with the crowd, or went to relatives, or to the main family, or to sell their children and daughters, in short, there is only one purpose, that is, to live!

All the ditches were already full of water, and there was water half a foot high on the original road, and there was mud everywhere, but this could not stop everyone.

The terrain of the capital is very high, coupled with the high sunshine in recent days, the water level quickly receded, and the flow of people on the avenue was crowded, and soon several city gates were blocked, and the father and son of the king beast also rushed to the outside of Xizhi Gate at noon.

The 100-zhang high city wall and the 100-zhang wide moat are the two major barriers guarding the capital, and if you want to enter the city, you must pass through the Xizhimen Bridge.

At this time, the army was already under martial law, there was no money to open the way, and it was not easy to make any connections, so a large number of refugees were blocked. There were also people who took the opportunity to coax and wanted to rush into the capital, but they were all killed on the spot by the defenders of the capital, and the chaotic scene stabilized again, only the bitter pleading of refugees everywhere was heard, but no one paid attention.

For the generals guarding the city gates, there will be a plague after the catastrophe, and if these refugees enter the city, there will inevitably be unforeseen chaos; if they don't let people in, they will inevitably be hated by some rich and powerful refugees, and they can only be distinguished by a high entry tax like one or two silver, and those who have money will be put in, anyway, they won't make trouble, and those who don't have money are untouchables, so let the officials of the six departments have a headache!

Wang Ershan is not a reckless person, because he has no money, he can only take his own boy to wait patiently outside the bridge, and after another hour, a team of soldiers in silver armor and a general in gold armor appeared on the tower of the city gate, and he knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had finally arrived.

He took out a letter from home, and said with a loud shout: Cao Min Wang Ershan, on the order of his eldest brother Wang Dashan, came to the town to report!

After the general was stunned for a moment, he also shouted: Since you are coming to the town to report for duty, then throw the letter up!

There is a big difference between throwing it up and presenting it, of course Wang Ershan understands what the other party means, from the Xizhimen bridge to the top of the city tower, there is a distance of almost one hundred and eighty zhang, throw a letter up, people who do not have the skill of the twelfth layer can not do it at all, but there is a way to take a trick.
