Chapter 13: Healing
The thick torch slowly burned, emitting thick black smoke, illuminating Chen Changsheng, who put his finger under Bai Ruoqing's nose on the side.
The snort hit Chen Changsheng's fingers, very weak.
Looking at Bai Ruoqing, who was almost about to die at any time, with stubbornness and chagrin on his face, Chen Changsheng raised his hand violently and slapped himself, muttering: "I'm sorry, I just want to live by any means." ”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng, whose cheeks were flushed, picked up Bai Ruoqing and walked towards the outside of the valley, his mind was full of Bai Ruoqing's chagrin when his sneak attack failed, and Bai Ruoqing who didn't know that he was just a part of the plan before he fell into a coma.
The sky broke dawn, Chen Changsheng left the mountain valley easily, walking on a path covered with sweat, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment with his head down.
After walking for a long time, just when Bai Ruoqing's breath was getting weaker and weaker, many human footprints suddenly appeared at the corner of the path, which were also mixed with animal feces.
Chen Changsheng walked forward quickly, staring at the dung on the ground, and with just one glance, he recognized that it was sheep dung, and it was still wet and soft when he crushed it with his foot.
"We'll be able to find Lang Zhong soon." Where there are sheep, there are people, Chen Changsheng turned around excitedly and shouted at Bai Ruoqing, who was still unconscious, with a smile on his face that he had never noticed.
Following the footprints along the way, Chen Changsheng ran all the way, and after passing through a pile of rubble, the path and footprints disappeared, leaving only a seemingly endless plain.
"Huh!" The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, just as Chen Changsheng was about to turn around and come to the path, a crisp sound of sheep's horns sounded in the distance, and at the same time, a child's voice came: "Are you lost?" ”
Chen Changsheng looked for prestige, and saw a boy with a thin wicker in his hand driving a flock of sheep there and beckoning.
"Are there any villages or towns around here?" Chen Changsheng seemed to grasp the last straw, and shouted at the little boy, afraid that he would not understand what he meant, and pointed to Bai Ruoqing, who was unconscious behind him.
"Look at what you said, there is no village for me to live there." The little boy's voice was a little disdainful, and when he saw Chen Changsheng pointing at Bai Ruoqing behind him, he reacted and said, "Come with me to our village, there is Langzhong." ”
As he spoke, the child lifted the thin wicker in his hand and drove the sheep towards the southwest corner of the plain.
Chen Changsheng, who was a little tired, heard the child's voice, so he couldn't care about his body anymore and followed behind the child with Bai Ruoqing on his back.
The terrain of the grassland became lower and lower, until the grass with only grass roots was exposed around it, and a village the size of a large town appeared in front of Chen Changsheng's eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Changsheng just glanced around in a hurry, and followed the child to the center of the village.
Under the leadership of the child, Chen Changsheng came all the way to the center of the village, and heard the child shout when he opened his throat: "The second sister-in-law has a patient." At the same time, he came to a beautifully decorated wooden house and knocked hard.
"Knock knock!" After only three knocks, the door of the wooden house opened, and a middle-aged woman poked her head out of the door, and only after seeing the little boy did she open the door and said, "Come in." ”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng came to the house in a few steps, looked around, and found that the surroundings were full of old furniture that did not fit in with the rich wooden house.
"Let it go." The second aunt sat on the small chair next to the bed, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Changsheng standing at the door in a daze, her fingers tapping on the bed and saying impatiently.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng recovered from his confusion, and with the help of the child, he put Bai Ruoqing on the bed.
Putting her fingers on her wrist, the second aunt couldn't help frowning, and after a press, she didn't speak for a long time.
"How?" Looking at the second aunt who was frowning, Chen Changsheng also frowned, but listened: "It's not a big deal, this needs a pair of medicines." ”
"Really." Chen Changsheng still frowned, as if he hadn't heard a glance, and recalled Bai Ruoqing's tragic situation in his heart.
"If it were someone else, it would definitely not be able to save it, and I have an ancestral secret recipe that can cure all diseases." The second sister-in-law let go of her fingers for diagnosis, looked at Chen Changsheng, who was still tightly knit her eyebrows, and said impatiently: "Aixin, if you don't believe it, you go find another Langzhong." ”
After all, there is a give-and-take, there may not be a Lang Zhong within a radius of dozens of miles, and there is nothing that face can not be put down for a businessman like Chen Changsheng, who is mellow and does things.
"I believe it! How much? Chen Changsheng's hand touched his waist, pretending to be eager and shouted.
"I'm just laughing, the doctor is benevolent, how can he not save it? Money is just a meaning, fifty wen is enough. On the bed, the second aunt propped herself up with her hands, came to the medicine cabinet on the side, grabbed a weighing stone with one hand, and put the medicinal materials on the weighing stone with the other.
Practice can be deep and skillful, three times five divided by two, and two hands of medicinal materials appeared on the yellow paper on the table.
"Here you go, you can take it when you are angry." The second aunt handed over the medicinal materials wrapped in yellow paper to Chen Changsheng's hand, slapped her head and said, "By the way, you don't have a medicine pot, there is one in my yard, you can use it." ”
After speaking, the second sister-in-law patted the little boy on the shoulder and motioned for him to take Chen Changsheng to the courtyard.
"Come with me." The little boy walked a few steps quickly and shouted loudly in front of Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng, who was carrying medicinal herbs, followed the little boy to a small door on the right side of the cabin.
The small door had been pushed open by the little boy, revealing the courtyard inside.
The things in the yard are very simple, and what catches your eye is a huge ancient tree about 60 meters high.
The appearance of the ancient tree is very strange, like a combination of willow and maple trees, a combination of camphor trees, even Chen Changsheng has never seen it when he travels from south to north.
Then there was only a small ceramic furnace, dusty, like a sealed jar, which was the medicine furnace Chen Changsheng was looking for.
Chen Changsheng came to the front of the medicine stove in a few steps, made a fire and stewed the medicine in one go, and then waited quietly.
"Squeak, squeak." Hearing the bubbling sound of the medicine furnace, Chen Changsheng, who was observing the trees, hurriedly came back to his senses, extinguished the flames at once, and poured the juice from the medicine furnace into the bowl where the little boy came.
Carefully picking up the hot bowl, Chen Changsheng trotted all the way to Bai Ruoqing, gently blew the cold liquid with his mouth, and fed Bai Ruoqing little by little with a small spoon.
