Chapter 13: A Small Bronze Mirror
The bell tower is as dilapidated as when it came, and it should not have been damaged twice, and when he walked into the bell tower, Zhou Xinyi remembered that he had asked the mayor's wife to hide and not to come out casually.
Looking at the empty bell tower, Zhou Xinyi asked helplessly, "Huh...... Do you know where the mayor's wife is hiding? ”
"I think I'll find her." Song said.
"Seventy years ago, when the bell tower was first built, she asked for a secret door to be added to the bell tower."
"For nothing else, after experiencing that incident, Ah Duo always seemed a little insecure, so I followed her idea and built the secret door in the most incredible position."
Ge stood at the gate of the bell tower and pointed his harpoon at the tiles at his feet.
This is a one-way door, which can only be opened once, and once opened, as long as the person hiding inside does not take the initiative to open the door, there is no way to open the secret door again.
The good thing is that it's hard for anyone to notice the existence of this secret door.
Ge intermittently stabbed the harpoon into the crack in the bricks, lifting the flat floor tiles, revealing what appeared to be the same concrete as the normal foundation.
Ge knelt on one knee on the earth and knocked it lightly with his hand.
"Ah Duo, it's me, Song."
"I'm back."
The people under the secret door seemed to hesitate for a long time, and finally, the secret door was opened.
The mayor's wary face peeked through the cracks in the ground.
The moment he saw the song, the tension in the mayor's body was swept away, and a pair of eyes full of crow's feet filled with tears.
"Seventy years gone," said the mayor, "Song, welcome back." ”
The mayor opened the door for them, and Zhou Xinyi saw what was under the secret door.
Underneath the secret door turned out to be a space of about 100 square meters, where a special life furnace was installed to provide air, accommodating all the women of the Yi tribe, young and old.
The mayor built this secret door in the first place so that the people of the tribe could have a hiding place when the race survived.
Except for the oldest group of people, the women and girls of the tribe have hardly seen the appearance of the song, they only know that the dark-skinned people of the tribe are traitors to the tribe, but the next moment, the respected old mayor actually knelt in front of this traitor in front of everyone.
"It's all my fault."
"It was my old eyes that were dizzy and put in those who were plotting against me, which caused the destruction of the clan's family and even the town."
"I've also been so badly injured...... If Lord Ge takes over, I am willing to step down from my position and you will continue to serve as the representative of the Clan! ”
"Ah Duo, I'm just a martial artist, and what happened at the beginning is enough to prove the failure of my rule."
Ge squatted down and stroked the mayor's silver thread, "I heard that you haven't given up your medical studies for seventy years, right?" Then show me your results. ”
Zhou Xinyi felt that he might be stunned, and he was stunned to see in the harmony of the two people, the sense of déjà vu of a twenty-year-old young mother supporting a ninety-year-old daughter.
Zhou Xinyi was enjoying this tear-jerking scene, and was carefully poked by Jiang Yi with his elbow.
She asked, "When will your black line be taken back?" ”
Zhou Xinyi: "If you don't say it, I'll forget it." ”
He took out the notebook he had hidden in his arms, touched the page, and the black whiskers flowed smoothly.
His whole body suddenly felt light, and his killing intent was completely gone, as if he had entered the sage mode, and he even felt pleasing to the eye when he looked at brandy.
Jiang Yi felt fresh, "Are there no side effects?" ”
"Like...... Not really. "Except for the inevitable feeling of exhaustion.
"Then that's weird," Brandy added, "unless it's the inheritor's own inheritance weapon, it's rare to use such a powerful and convenient item." ”
"Where did you get this notebook?"
Zhou Xinyi naturally couldn't answer truthfully, "Shut your mouth, don't let me blow you out." ”
Brandy smiled, honestly did not answer.
The medical skills of the Yi people are different from those in Zhou Xinyi's cognition, or in other words, the medical skills of this entire era are very different from those in Zhou Xinyi's cognition.
He originally thought that medical skills should be herbs, potions, and no matter how bad they were, they were also things like magic potions, and the "medical skills" used by the mayor of the town were actually on the arms of the song, using special pigments to draw some incomprehensible words, and what shocked Zhou Xinyi even more was that the complexion of the song was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhou Xinyi couldn't help but lean in and ask, "Excuse me...... How do these techniques work? ”
When the mayor saw that it was a judge, he immediately patiently explained, "These pigments are the sap of specially planted medicinal trees. ”
"The Medicine Tree is a tree that is just over two meters tall, and its sap is crimson, viscous, and colored, so it's perfect to use it as a rune filler.
"Runes?"
Mayor Mare, "Don't you know?" ”
"Runes are the basis of the doctrine of technique, and sentences composed of runes can exude the effect of technique and achieve the effect of healing others."
The mayor said, drawing a line on the arm of the song, "These sentences can absorb the damage to the internal organs of the singer and bear it on his behalf, so that with the healing ability of the singer, it will soon be healed, and on the day of healing, as long as the symbols are washed with secret wax, the pain that has been borne will dissipate." ”
"If you want to learn more, you'll have to study the runes of medicine."
Zhou Xinyi nodded as if he didn't understand.
Runes? Speaking of which, the inside of the crossbow used by the people seems to be filled with runes.
What are the runes that give the crossbow its heat and power?
"Lord Song, this is safe," it wasn't until he drew the full length of Song's arms that Mayor Mare finally put down Song's arms, "That gentleman over there, let me help you take care of your wounds, too." ”
Due to a great battle, Zhou Xinyi and the three of them were more or less injured, and under the grateful gaze of the old mayor, each of them was awarded an arm rune.
Subsequently, Zhou Xinyi and Jiang Yi sat on the eaves together to blow the wind.
Jiang Yi took out a box of cigarettes, "Do you smoke?" ”
"I don't smoke."
"Oh."
"Don't smoke either."
Jiang Yi: "......"
"Excuse me, reflex."
"Zhou Xinyi, you used to care about your sister?"
"My sister is still young, of course she has to take care of it, otherwise what if she learns badly?" Zhou Xinyi said, "However, that was several years ago. ”
Listen to the face of this old man.
Jiang Yi cocked Erlang's legs, "Then you remember it so clearly." ”
"I don't remember the events of that year, I can only remember the years when I worked hard," Zhou Xinyi said, "To be honest, those days were like a running account for me, and I can't remember them well if I don't recall them carefully." ”
Jiang Yi nodded, "I understand, I understand~"
Zhou Xinyi looked at his painted arm with disgust, "When will these be washed?" ”
"Normally, it would be about two days later, but unfortunately the old lady can't dispense medicine, so I took a few bottles from the pharmacist."
Jiang Yi took out a tube of ultra-small potion that was only two centimeters high from the pocket of his clothes, and threw a bottle over casually, "After drinking the medicine, your little injury will be healed in about five minutes." ”
It was the first time Zhou Xinyi had seen such a delicate small medicine bottle, and the measurement inside was about ten milliliters, but the color of the medicine was very unconvincing...... He thought it would be better to wait until he was more seriously injured before drinking.
"Actually, the old lady's medical skills are already good."
"The area of runes on your skin actually indirectly illustrates the doctor's skills," Jiang Yi said matter-of-factly, "Do you know how many runes I have ever seen drawn by the most unskilled medical artist?" ”
"I just had a broken arm, and that guy drew me runes all over my body! Except for my face, almost all of them were smeared, and the mane smoke made me laugh at me for days! ”
As soon as I thought about it, Jiang Yi was so angry that his teeth itched, "In the end, I returned to modern times and was healed after two days of plastering." ”
Zhou Xinyi couldn't help but laugh a few times.
"Then I think I'm lucky."
The two were chatting, and there was a sound of footsteps behind them, and without thinking about it, they knew that it was brandy who had come to join in the fun.
"Guys, it's time for us to go."
Zhou Xin Yi didn't look back, "Where are you going?" ”
"Ms. Ge said to go to the island and have a look."
Zhou Xinyi turned around at this time, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes.
The situation of the people of the Yi tribe can be roughly divided into two categories.
Living underwater is well protected, they don't know the truth, they are happy.
Those who dwell on the island bear all that they bear their iniquities, and it is painful.
And today, through the arrival of the song, the clansmen who have been separated for 70 years finally intersect again.
The people of the Yi tribe on the island still respect Zhou Xinyi, but they are different about Jiang Yi and Brandy, they essentially hate fair-skinned people, let alone a little white face like Brandy.
The brandy, which was criticized, only pushed the glasses, and did not seem to care on the surface.
Jiang Yi was angry.
But when the people of the Yi tribe saw the song, they had only one impression - the goddess who came out of the lake.
Song was warmly welcomed all the way into the patriarch's dilapidated cabin.
The patriarch was already more than a hundred years old, but when he saw the two people walking towards him, he still had a light in his eyes and got up from his chair excitedly.
"Song...... Ardor ......"
The mayor walked forward quickly, "I haven't seen you for more than seventy years, and you can still recognize me?" ”
The two old couples in their primes finally hugged each other again.
"Your Excellency, thank you very much for coming," after that, the patriarch sent a whole bag of coins to Zhou Xinyi, "The Yi clan is not rich, but this money is our heart, please be sure to accept it." ”
"After that, it's always necessary for you to walk around the city and save up for more."
The old patriarch asked Zhou Xinyi to "don't let the song die in the hands of the heirs", but to be honest, until the end, few inheritors found the location of the song.
But several leaders of the Yi clan insisted on giving, and he accepted it with peace of mind.
When he left the patriarch's hut, Zhou Xinyi suddenly saw the madman in the village again.
He suddenly remembered, no, if there was just another Gang in the lake, how could this Gang go crazy?
The sudden abnormality made Zhou Xinyi's nerves tense again, and in order not to let himself continue to question, he took the initiative to pat the madman's shoulder and asked, "What did you see in the lake?" ”
After asking, he felt stupid again, what can a madman tell him?
Unexpectedly, the madman actually turned his head and looked at him with a smirk.
"Mirror, mirror!" As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his arms, "Good things, good things......
Zhou Xinyi snatched it from him without saying a word.
The madman also seemed to be stunned by Zhou Xinyi's actions, and looked at him with a grinning on his lips condemningly.
"Brother! Why did you run out again! ”
At this time, the young man rushed from the town, eagerly grabbed the madman's arm, and pulled him to bow to Zhou Xinyi.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Your Excellency, for causing you trouble!"
With that, he pulled the madman and ran away.
Zhou Xinyi didn't mean to condemn, but was very happy, fortunately the madman appeared and reminded him.
He looked at the bronze mirror in his hand.
Now, there is one more thing that cannot be studied thoroughly.
