Volume 1, Chapter 2, Shocking Changes.
In a courtyard in the village, a clay pot is burning medicine, an old man and a plantain are sitting on a small bench, slowly fanning the fire, the smell of medicine is all over the yard, and there is a small wooden house in the center of the courtyard. Inside, a teenager was lying on a wooden bed, and his left arm was wrapped in clean gauze. The boy is the ink leaf who was injured in the mountains.
The Five Fingers Mountains are where this small village is located, and it is close to the mountains and the water. The people of the village rely on hunting and farming to get food and clothing. The population of the village is not very large, with a population of just over 100 and 40 households. 'Bai Lin' Grandpa Bai is the only doctor in the entire village. It is very respected by the people in the village, and everyone usually greets Dr. Bai warmly.
But the children in the village don't like to come to Grandpa Bai's yard very much, because Grandpa Bai's yard is often decocting medicine for a long time, and there is a strong smell of medicine, and the children can't stand it, so the children basically don't come to Grandpa Bai's yard.
Night falls, and it is pitch black, except for the small village, where a candle shines through the windows of the wooden house, and in a wooden house in the village, more than a dozen big men gather around a table.
You see, this is the corpse of the gray leopard, it is the culprit who scratched Mo Ye's kid today, a big man wearing a beast skin coat with half of his shoulders exposed, pointed to the corpse of the cheetah placed on Zhuo and said.
Another man, who was slightly thin but very strong, said; Village Chief: "Mo Ye, this kid usually doesn't look like he has a few pounds of strength, but he is very thin, but he can kill a gray spotted leopard by himself, it's really powerful!"
Another big man beside him picked up the firewood knife on the table and said, "Brother Li, you are right. Mo Ye is using this knife, it's really powerful, how old is this, it's a blessing to be able to escape from the mouth of the cheetah, he can actually hack the gray leopard to death, and when he recovers, he can take him into the mountains to hunt.
Yes, yes, the pillar is right, this kid must be a good hunter in the future. Several more big men chimed in.
The village chief, who was wearing animal skins and exposed half of his shoulders, glared at Brother Li and Zhuzi and said: What nonsense are you talking about, Mo Ye, this kid is the most literate in our village. If something happens to Dr. Bai, there will be some plague in our village, and who will cure a disease.
When the village chief said this, Brother Li and Zhu Zi smiled shyly, and the two of them knew that they had said the wrong thing. The most important thing in a village is the doctor and the village head, followed by the hunter, and the village chief is the virtuous person, and everyone is elected together. This is not the case with doctors, who must first be literate in order to understand medical books, literacy is the foundation, to identify various medicinal materials, and to have patience and many other requirements.
Dr. Bai was illiterate at first, but walked out of the village when he was a young man, and by chance learned to read and write, and got a few medical books. When he was old, he returned to the village, and it happened that there was no doctor in the village, so Dr. Bai became a doctor in the village, and when there was no patient, he would teach the children in the village to read and write.
In the past, when there was no doctor in the village, I was hunting in the mountains and was bitten by a poisonous insect, rat and snake, and there were only two options: either to resist the past, or to amputate my leg and cut off the bite location. Amputation will end up crippled for life, hard to resist the past, rain and sunny weather, fine, but can't resist, then only death. Since there was a doctor Bai who can see a doctor in the village, there has been an amputation once, and most of them have been cured by the white doctor, so the status of the white doctor in the village is as high as that of the village chief.
A flash of lightning pierced the night sky, followed by the sound of 'boom' thunder, a torrential rain, and droplets of rice falling from the sky. 'Oops' pillar patted his thigh and said: My clothes have not been confiscated, I don't know if my mother-in-law slept to death, if I didn't hear the sound of rain, my clothes would have been washed in vain.
The village chief glanced at the heavy rain outside the house and said; Recently, this mountain is so unpeaceful, you have noticed that the last time we went into the mountains to hunt, we actually encountered a 'mountain bear' on the periphery of the foot of the mountain, we worked together to kill it, I didn't care about it at the time, I thought it was a coincidence, a mountain bear ran to the periphery of the foot of our mountain. But this time, Moye was cutting some dead wood at the foot of the mountain, and the attack of the gray spotted leopard that he actually encountered almost killed him. Something must have happened in the depths of the mountains, otherwise these beasts that live in the mountains would not have run to the foot of the mountain for no reason.
The village chief is right, the mountain has been too peaceful lately, and last time my little fat said: When they were playing at the foot of the mountain, they saw with their own eyes a giant python as thick as me swallowed a gopher alive. The big man who spoke was Chubby's father, and he told everyone what Chubby saw the day before yesterday.
Another big man in sackcloth also said that the village chief, otherwise, would he be able to keep the children in the village from playing at the foot of the mountain, so as not to have any accidents.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The village chief thought for a while and nodded, and said: "What Ertie said is right, after you go back, you must tell your children not to play at the foot of the mountain. In the event of encountering a ferocious beast, they would not be able to deal with it at their current age of four or five years. From now on, the lookout in the village will also have to be manned all day to prevent wild beasts from escaping into the village. The next time you go into the mountains to hunt, don't worry about the farm work, the hunters in the village will bring good guys into the mountains with them, and come back with more meat at one time, and prepare to get through this stage before entering the mountains later.
After the village chief finished speaking, everyone nodded one after another, and the village chief said: Next, I will arrange for the people standing guard at the lookout, and the others should go home and rest.
It was late at night, and everyone slept peacefully, only the sound of raindrops hitting the green bricks and green tiles, but it was not calm in the Five Finger Mountains, and a white tiger with white fur mixed with black hair roared in the sky. Even the rain in the air was shaken by the roar. The white tiger jumped into the air, and actually jumped directly from this mountain to another mountain more than ten miles away. This must be a spirit beast with a successful cultivation.
The beasts in the mountains, jackals, cheetahs, mountain bears, etc., were shocked by this roar, and they fell to the ground and trembled, and did not dare to move.
After a long time, a bird chirp broke the silence in the sky, and the dark clouds were dispersed. A huge eagle spread its wings to cover the sky and let out a long roar, and the sound wave blew trees and rocks cracked everywhere it went, and even a mountain was blown to the ground. The birds flying in the air towards the outside of the mountain fell on the trees one after another under this threat, and did not dare to fly, and the giant bird flapped its wings, and it was already ten miles away, and the other was gone. After the giant birds were far away, the birds dared to take off and fly quickly towards the mountain.
