141 Wolf Bond (2)
This time I brushed shoulders with death, and whenever I think about it, I am still afraid.
In the dark of night, people walked down the mountain with torches, and I looked back at the direction of the cave, hoping that he would survive the night safely.
The next day, before dawn, I began to pack my things and prepare to go up the mountain, when I accidentally woke up the master with the sound of a plate rolling down to the ground.
"Rong'er, what are you doing before dawn?" The master's voice sounded next door, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
"Oh, master, there are a few herbs at home, and I have to go to the mountains to find some more." Suddenly I felt like I was a thief, and this was the first time I had lied.
"Then be careful, don't go there yesterday again." The master kindly reminded me.
"Oh." I answered, carrying a full basket and hurrying out with my baggage.
There were wolves in that place, and although I was very afraid, I had to save my benefactor.
I took quilts, clothes, medicine jars, herbs and some essential daily necessities from home. When I came to the cave, the man was still motionless, so I began to scrub him with water, and changed more than a dozen basins of water from top to bottom to wipe out a person's appearance, and then changed him into the master's old clothes. I have been in contact with male patients since I was 8 years old, and in the eyes of a doctor, there is no distinction between men and women, only the disease.
My name is Duanmu Rong, and the five generations of my family are all doctors in the hospital, but I have no choice but to offend the nobles and behead them all over the house. My father escaped because of his playfulness and was sent to the countryside incognito by a kind neighbor, which is why I became the future me. Now that the Qing government has fallen, I have reverted to my original surname. Before my father died, I must pass on the Duanmu family's medical skills, so I worked very hard and vowed to reassure my father and family under Jiuquan.
The man in front of him was not tall but very strong, his skin was not white, and there was something black on his face that could not be erased, and he still couldn't see the specific appearance.
Then I applied the prepared medicine little by little to the festering wound, carefully bandaged it with a white cloth, and after doing everything, I was already sweating profusely.
After half a month, he finally woke up, and at first he looked at me with fear and vigilance, and even pointed a gun at me. But I'm not afraid, since he saved me, he won't kill me again, and the reason why he is doing this now is only because he has gone to a strange place and met strangers and has the anxiety of encountering strangers.
After another five or six days he was no longer wary of my approach, but he never spoke, and I think he probably couldn't speak, and I thought he was pitiful at this point. But I've also checked his tongue, and he should have no problem speaking, so is there any other reason why he doesn't speak?
Later, I taught him to speak, taught him pronunciation, and gradually he could say some simple words, more than me, "I, you, heaven, earth, flowers, grass" or something.
Later, his injuries improved little by little, and when I was away, he would hunt some prey by himself, and he would often take me to hunt, teach me to make traps, teach me to catch birds in trees and go down to the river to fish, and the life is simple but happy.
He will also help me collect medicine, those very high, seemingly dangerous places he will take the initiative to help me to pick, once he fell from the middle of the mountain and almost broke his leg, I watched his leg red and swollen a lot of injuries, anxious and angry tears fell down. His big hand stroked my hair, as if comforting for a long time before squeezing out a few words, "Don't cry, it doesn't hurt." ”
Looking at his whiter and more handsome face, my heart beat like a drum, he is really handsome, more handsome than everyone in the village, and he is very strong, no matter how heavy the firewood is, he can easily lift it, and even feel that when he carries me, it is as if he is carrying an empty back basket.
But what excites me the most is that he actually said four words! Teaching him to speak is like teaching his own children to speak. Although he spoke a bit like a big tongue and couldn't make it clear, I could hear and understand the words clearly.
"Eat the fish!" The charred and crispy fish was handed to me, and I came back to my senses, took a deep sip of the fragrant fish, and ate it in a big gulp.
When I think of the past, I will always be inexplicably happy in my heart, and I will laugh out loud inexplicably. I would often tell him about the things in the village, and I thought that he would be lonely and scared if he was alone in the mountains, and I wanted him to live in the village with me. The villagers are so simple and innocent, they will definitely welcome him, and besides, he saved my life, and the master will not drive him away.
Thinking like this, the person next to me suddenly pulled me into the bushes next to me, and just as I wanted to scream, he covered his mouth, "Shhhhhhh
He stretched out his slender fingers, which had become rough from labor, and made a silent motion at me, and I was momentarily frightened by his movements, and his eyes widened.
Following his gaze, a dark-skinned, well-built man walked over to the fire where we had just grilled fish, carrying a large bundle of firewood on his back, and clearing the weeds half a man high. He looked around at the fire and shouted, "Who is here?" ”
I recognized that this was Tian Daniu, the son of a blacksmith in the east of the village, and I took a long breath to say that it was not a wolf, otherwise it would be another vicious battle.
I looked at Chaihu, Chaihu is the name I gave him, he can't speak, I can't always call "you", "hey", plus he has a high fever in the first few days, so I named him Chaihu, hoping that he will get better soon.
Chai Hu was the first time I saw the people in the village, he looked extremely nervous, his eyes were cold and fierce, I thought of the scene of being targeted by a wolf, he looked like a wolf at the moment, and I don't know why I was slightly frightened.
"Anyone?" Tian Da Niu put down the firewood and walked to the burning fire, picked up a wooden stick to extinguish the fire, and murmured and complained: "What kind of person is so unqualified, people don't go out of the fire, if the surrounding weeds are ignited, the whole mountain will be burned!" ”
Seeing this, I couldn't sit still anymore, and jumped out regardless of Chai Hu's obstruction, and laughed embarrassedly: "Brother Niu, don't extinguish my fire!" ”
The fish in my hand almost fell to the ground because of this jump, I felt sorry for the fish and quickly took the corner of the clothes to catch it in the clothes, and watched the fish lying quietly in my arms to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Miss Rong turned out to be you, I said it was a non-long-eyed random fire?" As soon as Tian Daniu said it, he felt that something bad was wrong, and he quickly covered his mouth and scratched his head embarrassedly, how could he say that Miss Rong didn't have long eyes? Miss Rong grew up in the village since she was a child, and she didn't know how many people she had cured, she was the benefactor of their entire village, "Hehe, I seem to have said the wrong thing." He unconsciously bowed his head, full of guilt.
"Haha!" I didn't care, so I smiled and took it over, "I just saw a rabbit, so I followed it and looked at it, but I didn't expect you to come." "I'm lying lamely, but I won't see his stupidity.
"Rabbit?" Tian Da Niu looked behind me, he was a head taller than me, I was afraid that he would see Chai Hu hurriedly move two steps and stand in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's long gone!" ”
"This grass is so deep that it's not easy to catch." Tian Daniu looked at the surroundings and shook his head.
"I didn't plan to catch it, by the way, does Big Niu eat fish?" I re-strung the fish that had fallen on my clothes on a bamboo skewer and handed it to him.
"It smells so good!" Tian Da Niu sniffed, to be honest, he was also attracted by this fragrance, and now seeing that I handed it to him, he took it unceremoniously at all, and then ate it without any image.
Seeing him gobble, I resisted the urge to drool.
"Miss Rong, I'll go back first, will you come with me?" After eating, the big cow in the fish field carried the bundle of firewood on his back.
"Huh? No, no, no! I hurriedly waved my hand, "I still have a few more medicines to find." ”
Just kidding, how can you go back if you haven't eaten the fish yet?
"Well, be careful, don't be too late, you're never safe alone." After Tian Daniu finished speaking, he strode away with firewood on his back.
"Don't worry, Brother Niu!"
Tian Daniu's footsteps walked farther and farther, and behind him was the sound of Chai Hu coming out, and he sat by the fire and skewered the fish that had not had time to roast one by one on bamboo skewers.
I sighed and sat down beside him in disgust.
"He's not good." Chai Hu looked at me and smiled because I didn't eat the fish.
I glanced at the direction Tian Da Niu left and pouted: "It's really not good to rob me of fish to eat." ”
An indescribable light flashed in Chai Hu's eyes, but I didn't understand his eyes at the time, and I didn't know what that light meant.
It wasn't until three days later that the villagers found Tian Daniu's corpse by the riverside in the east of the village, with a belly bulging like a frog's white belly. I don't know how long I have been soaked in the water, and I am so swollen that I can barely see what it looked like.
A large group of people cried and shouted crowded to fish Tian Da Niu out of the river, and carried him home, I watched from a distance in my heart in chaos, three days ago I had spoken before, how did he die?
They reported to the police, but now there are Japanese everywhere, and they are either busy fighting or running away, and they don't care about such a small thing as the death of a person in a small village.
In the end, the village chief asked the master to perform an autopsy, and Fu's words aroused everyone's anger.
Tian Da Niu had obvious strangulation marks on his neck, apparently he was strangled to death and sank into the river, and Tian Da Niu's palm was holding a piece of green cloth of the slap army, with a white side on the cloth and a red circle on the white. Red as the sun and round as the sun. Some fragments suddenly flashed in my mind, red sun and red sun......
I couldn't believe that step by step I retreated, retreated, retreated, and retreated, until I exited the crowd, and I could still hear the villagers screaming, "It's Japanese!" It was the Japanese who killed Tian Da Niu! Kill the Japanese! Kill the Japanese! ”
