Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Magical Earthwork

"Gollum!"

At dawn, the hungry Liu Lu finally couldn't stand the roar of protest in his stomach.

I didn't eat much all day yesterday, and I was very consumed by a big battle, and I was fighting against the poison and medicine in my body at night, and I didn't feel hungry, and after I stopped at this time, in addition to the physical pain, I had to endure the torture of hunger.

There was a pool of Qingtan and a wild boar around him, and he didn't have to bother looking for ready-made things.

Liu Lu pulled over the wild boar, dismembered the wild boar in three or two strokes, cleaned it in the nearby waterhole for a while, and then went to find a bunch of dead branches and dry trees around, and after building a fire, he casually set up a pig's leg and roasted it.

Although he was hungry in his stomach, Liu Lu was not going to eat blood raw, and he still insisted on waiting for the wild boar to be roasted.

The waiting time is painful, especially when your eyes are a little green with hunger, watching the roast on the fire turn hot little by little, and this process can easily torture people to abandon the most basic decency of being a human being - eating blood like a wild beast.

In order not to face this torture directly, Liu Lu began to wander among the surrounding hillside woods, looking for some herbs that would be useful for healing wounds.

There were many external injuries on his body, some of which were more serious, such as the four or five puncture wounds left by Wang Fengye's flying blade, and the arm that had been gnawed by a wild boar, although the bleeding had stopped now, but it affected his movement very much.

If it was just pain, Liu Lu could still bear it, but these injuries made his body weak, and his strength was greatly reduced, because he was bitten beyond recognition, his left arm was already somewhat broken, and the whole arm could no longer use a little force, and more seriously, if the recovery was not good, I am afraid that this arm may be scrapped in the future, which Liu Lu can't bear, he doesn't want to become a one-armed swordsman or something like that at a young age.

When Liu Lu used to follow Hu Wei, Hu Wei gave him a lot of advice on martial arts, but he taught him a lot of knowledge about other miscellaneous things, such as identifying general drugs in the wild, which is the most basic skill, after all, people who are running around all year round can save themselves in an emergency if they have this knowledge, or see some precious things, which is also a big windfall.

In the mountains and wilderness, it can be said that it is a treasure trove of medicinal herbs, and in less than half an hour, Liu Lu searched for several kinds of herbs that nourish qi and replenish blood, stop bleeding and dissolve stasis, and are conducive to wound recovery. Of course, Liu Lu didn't pick all of them and use them on his own body, and he also knew the basic pharmacological knowledge, so he only selected two or three that were more useful to him now, or eat or mash them for external wounds.

The place where the wild boar had bitten on his left arm, because a lot of meat had been lost, the gap was too big, and it was basically impossible to make up for it with Liu Lu's current conditions, unless he could find that kind of treasure medicine with white flesh and bones.

Liu Lu also understood that the hope of finding that kind of medicine in the ordinary mountains and wilderness was too slim, and even if there was that kind of medicine in Black Crow Ridge, it was definitely not something that could be found in the surrounding mountains and forests where he was now, so what he had to do now was just to find more ways to make the wounds on his body heal faster, so that his body could recover faster.

After a delay of almost an hour, the roasted wild boar on the fire was already cooked, exuding an attractive fragrance, and Liu Lu could no longer bear to eat the large pieces.

In addition to filling the stomach, it is always a pursuit of people to increase some taste by the way and better enjoy the deliciousness of food.

After Liu Lu crushed a refreshing sour and astringent young leaf picked from the forest and smeared it on the wild boar, he immediately felt that the fragrant roasted wild boar had a more refreshing and delicious taste.

An hour later, Liu Lu, who had already eaten half a small wild boar, was finally satisfied, and after weaving a simple cage with rattan branches and leaves pulled from the forest, loading a whole roasted wild boar thigh meat and some herbs he needed, he got up and left.

Of course, when Liu Lu left, he naturally did not forget to extinguish the fire and eliminate some traces of his stay.

Liu Lu didn't know where he was at the moment, he was in a coma all day yesterday, and because of his injuries at night, he basically didn't move the place, not only did the pursuers not see it for such a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of his fellow disciples who were looking forward to finding and rescuing him.

Liu Lu didn't know what happened after he disappeared, he didn't know who lost and who won between Xiang Shang and the man in green clothes, what happened to the people of the Weihu Dart Bureau and the people of the Iron Sword Gate, after not seeing anyone for a day and a night, Liu Lu's worries about the chasing soldiers were not so strong, and besides, he had the intention to escape, and his current body did not allow it, so he fortunately recuperated by the pool, ate and drank enough, took care of the wounds, and took a short rest, but fortunately he had the physical strength to deal with the accident.

Liu Lu has been walking along the stream, and his concerns about the Tiger Dart Bureau made him not dare to return the same way at all, nor did he dare to get too close to the ancient road of Black Crow Ridge, for fear of encountering other people, which would only increase the risk of accidents, his current idea is to leave the Black Crow Ridge boundary as soon as possible from the sparsely populated place, find a remote place away from the forces of Tassel City and the White Dragon Gang, first take care of his injuries, and then hide for a while, and then make other plans when the limelight calms down.

The complex mountains and forests of the Black Crow Ridge boundary gave Liu Lu a good concealment, and for three days, until he walked out of the mountains and forests, he did not meet anyone else.

After walking out of the mountains and forests, Liu Lu passed by a small mountain village, entered the village to rest all night, with a variety of precious herbs on his back, a few wild game on his body, like a savage-like decoration, coupled with his dark and honest appearance, the villagers had no doubt that he was a medicine picker who was attacked by wild beasts and lost.

There are not many villagers in that mountain village, less than 20 households, who have lived in the mountains for a long time, and basically have little contact with the outside world, so Liu Lu did not find out any useful information.

While resting in the mountain village, Liu Lu used some precious herbs he had picked in the mountains and two wild pheasants as rations to change into a clean burlap coat.

In addition, to Liu Lu's surprise, in this mountain village, there is actually a soil method that can heal the wounds gnawed by wild beasts, in the words of the villagers, that is, the earthwork can not only make the bitten missing flesh grow out and return to its original state, but also will not leave any scars, let alone affect the use of functions, leaving any sequelae.

Liu Lu accepted this miraculous healing technique that could regenerate flesh with a pious heart, but after watching the whole treatment process, Liu Lu had doubts about the villagers' words.

This kind of earthwork treatment method is also worthy of the name of "earthy" medicine, not only does not appear at all in the use of a precious drug, but the main thing is actually soil, such as the ordinary soil in the vegetable field at the head of the village. Liu Luzhuan confirmed that it was indeed ordinary soil, as for why he used the soil in the vegetable field, the villagers' reply was that the soil in the vegetable field was delicate, and there were no debris and stones,...... Liu Lu was a little unacceptable to this reason at that time.

In addition to the earth, the other dispensing drugs are also ordinary things, but they are more bizarre.

Yes, a half-foot-long four-legged fish caught from a stream at the edge of the village; A kind of ordinary firewood, which is generally burned as firewood by mountain people with some medicinal value, of course, the use of this firewood in this magical formula is the ashes left over from its burning.

At that time, Liu Lu weakly protested slightly, asking if he could burn some more, he was afraid that the ashes of the grass and trees in the stove pit would be mixed with other ashes, but the villagers ignored Liu Lu's request, saying that they were all the same, and it would not affect the effect.

In addition to these three things, there is one more thing, some freshly peeled bark from the tree at the entrance of the village.

The magic of this earthwork is that the mashed four-legged fish is placed in a mound of fine earth mixed with plant ash, mixed with mountain spring water to form a paste, and wrapped in a wound that lacks flesh. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that you must not only apply a thin layer, but apply it thickly, and then roast the newly peeled bark with fire until it is soft and the inner layer becomes charred and dry, and then wrap the pasty "medicine" with the roasted bark, and then tie it with hemp rope so that there are no leaks.

In the words of the villagers, this earthwork is taken from heaven and earth, living and dead.

After a medication, there is no need to change the dressing during the period, and it can be disassembled after 7749 days.

To tell the truth, when Liu Lu first saw the treatment of this earthwork, the struggle in his heart continued from the beginning of the villagers to the last use.

In the end, Liu Lu, who was afraid that his entire arm would be destroyed, still compromised in the kindness of the villagers and accepted this miraculous treatment!

After leaving the small mountain village, Liu Lu walked south for about ten days, and arrived at a place called Ping'an Town, which is a remote town with beautiful mountains and rivers.
