Chapter 5: Memories of Fifteen Years Ago
"Okay, now that the Shinto blood contract has been signed, from now on you will be my person, this Hengyu Holy Bead will be lent to you first, as for how to use the Hengyu Sacred Bead, as your strength increases, you will slowly know" Qiyu opened his mouth and said, "Do you feel clear now, but your limbs are weak?" Don't worry, this is another gift I gave you, it will get better slowly, the brain development of ordinary earthlings is 5% at most 10%, your brain development is about 20% now, and it will develop more in the future, the weakness of the limbs is because more energy in the body supplies the brain, eat more and it will be fine, you should still have an elixir that your master refined for you, you can relieve it by eating. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Mu Wenbin immediately touched his body, found the pill, opened his mouth and swallowed it directly, indeed as Hengyu Holy Spirit said, the weakness of his body quickly disappeared.
Qiyu then spoke: "You will be my person from now on, remember, everything about me is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone." It's time for me to go, just go about your business, and I'll come to you when I need it, and don't die, lest I be disappointed, ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”
"Wait, how do I wake up my master?" Mu Wenbin hurriedly asked, but the voice disappeared completely and never appeared again.
"Wait, don't go, you haven't told me how to save my master yet"
Mu Wenbin opened his eyes and sat up suddenly, it turned out to be a dream, it was so real. Reaching out and rubbing his temples, he shook his head, and felt very clear at this time.
Wasn't it just a dream? Mu Wenbin looked around and found himself in a very familiar cave, with a straw mat under him that he had slept on many times. This is the master's cave in the mountains.
Mu Wenbin got up with a grunt, "Master, master, where are you?" He kept shouting for the master, and the master couldn't be found inside or outside the cave, where did the master go?
After searching for a long time and unable to find the shadow of the master, he returned to the cave in great frustration, looking at the familiar environment in front of him, and couldn't help but start his eyes to become hazy. Little by little, memories of the past appeared.
Fifteen years ago, Mu Wenbin was eight years old, and a lot of big things happened to him this year.
Yongkang Village is located in the depths of the Taihang Mountains in Shangguan Town, Huibei County, Yuzhou Province, although the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, but because the traffic is very inconvenient, there are less than 30 households in the whole village, and it takes more than an hour to walk from the nearest town. Mu Wenbin's family of six, grandparents, parents and he and his sister Mu Wenhui, the family only has less than one acre of thin fields, a year's food is not enough for the whole family's rations, grandpa is an old medicine farmer, all his life by picking medicine in the mountains to sell money, as he grows older, and there are fewer and fewer wild medicinal materials in the mountains, grandpa no longer goes into the mountains to collect medicine, and his father goes to work in the stone factory in the town in order to support his family.
The bad luck came that summer, when there was a severe malaria outbreak in the village, and many people were infected, including Mu Wenbin's parents and two-year-old sister. Because the road is impassable, the villagers walked to the town under the leadership of the village chief, the town's health center has no medicine to treat malaria, and there is no special car to the outside, the whole town only has the tractor from the stone factory, the whole village is infected with nearly 50 people, but the tractor can only pull away less than 15 people at a time. In the 90s, Shangguan Town was very poor, the whole town did not even have a telephone, and the town only had a narrow mountain road leading to the outside. After learning of the situation, the town secretary immediately commanded with the village chief, giving priority to the seriously ill people, especially the children, to go to the county hospital, while the others received simple treatment at the town health center.
The tractor carrying 14 people, in addition to the town secretary and two nurses from the health center who took care of the patients, finally arrived at the county hospital after nearly five hours. Those who were brought to the hospital were treated in time, but many more were still in the town, and the hospital found that the stock of specific drugs was running low. In order to treat more people, the county hospital immediately arranged a special car and a doctor to take all the medicines to Shangguan Town for first aid, and at the same time, the county party secretary contacted the city by phone and urgently called the special medicine from the city hospital. After receiving the news, the municipal party committee also attached great importance to it, and immediately arranged for the transfer of medicines and medical personnel from the Municipal People's Hospital to open an emergency green channel. Unfortunately, due to inconvenient transportation, more than a dozen villagers had already died by the time the medicine was delivered, including Mu Wenbin's parents. From that day on, Mu Wenbin secretly vowed that he must study medicine.
For a time, the whole village was in a state of vegetarianism, and the already poor village was even worse, due to the underdevelopment of medical treatment, the real cause of the disease could not be found out in the end, and it could only be said that it was caused by mosquitoes.
Due to the sudden blow, the grandparents also fell ill, and the grandmother's eyes were about to cry blind, but fortunately, the treatment of her sister Mu Wenhui was timely and without major problems, and the next days became more and more difficult. At this time, the whole family had to rely on this eight-year-old boy to resist, fortunately, his grandfather often taught him to know herbs and wild fruits, Mu Wenbin got up early every day to take care of his grandparents and sister, and then carried a bamboo basket into the mountains to pick herbs and wild fruits, and then carried them to the town to sell.
After more than two months like this, the family is also on the verge of collapse, if it weren't for the neighbors who kindly helped take care of their grandparents and sister, I'm afraid this family would have been gone a long time ago. After dozens of days of hard work, Mu Wenbin's shoulders were worn out layer after layer of skin by the back basket, countless blood channels were drawn on his hands by thorns, and blood blisters were ground out on his feet. But he gritted his teeth and persevered, and finally his shoulders, hands, and feet were ground into thick calluses.
This morning, Mu Wenbin brought dry food as usual, carried the bamboo basket and went into the mountain, he never dared to enter the too deep mountain forest, just a few hills near the village, but after dozens of days of picking, there was nothing left for him to pick, he had to go a little deeper. It was the first time he had gone so deep into the forest, a place where even the adults of the village rarely entered. He found a lot of medicinal herbs that were not available outside, and he picked one of them all. His heart was so excited that he gradually forgot that he could not go any deeper. Soon a whole basket of medicinal herbs was collected, but at this time he found himself lost.
At this time, Mu Wenbin felt scared, in this deep mountain, he couldn't see the sun at all, and with his shallow memory, he turned around and walked out of the mountain, and he didn't know how far he went, let alone where he went, he was getting more and more scared, and his young heart was about to despair. With tears in his eyes, his feet moved with difficulty. Suddenly, he heard the sound of falling water, and quickened his pace. At the end of the walk, I found a small waterfall, under the waterfall is a small pool, the waterhole is rippling, the surrounding birds and flowers are picturesque, beautiful.
