Chapter Twenty-Three: Hunchback Feng
"Who, didn't you tell you not to bother me these days?"
The voice of the slight vicissitudes of life came from the house, and Han Tu was stunned when he heard it, he thought that the person who was called the senior brother by Hua and Ye should be not much older than them, but listening to this voice, it was an old man in his old age.
Han Tu replied truthfully: "My name is Han Tu, Xiao Chuan, who was doing the task with me, was poisoned, and he was very weak after taking the antidote, and I heard that Senior Brother Hua said that you are a master in this area, so I wanted to take Xiao Chuan to try it." ”
"Oh, it's you, come in. ”
The door creaked open, and Han Tu walked in, thinking that the old man had opened the door for him personally, but after he entered, he found that the old man was still sitting on the innermost low stone bench, with a medicine jar in front of him, and a pungent smell came out, as if he was boiling something.
The old man's hair was gray and too thin, and only a few gray hairs remained on his head, and from a distance it looked like a few white hairs growing on a turnip. There was also a bit of a hunchback, and his chest was almost parallel to the ground.
There was no only old man in the house, but the door opened by itself, and Han Tu thought of internal force in an instant, and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa Feng, are you using internal force?"
The old man chuckled, stopped what he was doing, and grabbed at the back of his waist with his right hand, only to hear a creak, and the door closed again. He smiled: "Internal force, I don't, this is just some small organs that are not worth mentioning, I am born hunchbacked, so I naturally have to learn some organ skills to make my life more comfortable." ”
Han Tu lost interest after hearing this, to say that the mechanism is nothing more than a kind of foreign object, he has decided to learn the art of throwing, and he also understands the truth of being greedy and chewing too much, so he naturally will not choose other foreign object skills, and it is more practical to learn a fist and foot kung fu or swordsmanship and knife technique.
Seeing that Han Tu stopped talking, the old man pointed to the straw mat on the side and smiled: "Let's put down the little baby on my back first." ”
The old man didn't say that he didn't feel it, but Han Tu also felt a little tired after saying this, after all, he hadn't fully recovered, so he hurriedly put Xiaochuan on the straw mat on the side.
After coming out of the room, Xiao Chuan basically didn't say anything, and even his breathing was a little heavy, and now when he looked at it, Xiao Chuan didn't know when he fell asleep again.
"This. Han Tu was taken aback and hurriedly said, "What's going on?"
"This physique is too weak, young people need to know moderation. Feng Lao teased, and as soon as the words came out, he remembered that this was just a teenage child in front of him, and quickly changed his words: "Judging from the complexion, it is a little weak, but there is no danger to life, I will take her pulse in a while." You still have to eat, give, try this. ”
Feng Lao handed Han Tu a palm-sized piece of dry food, which looked exactly the same as the free opportunity provided by the canteen, except that there were many colorful particles on it, Han Tu put it in his mouth and bit it gently. This time, Han Tu clearly felt the difference between the two.
The dry food in the canteen is dry and tasteless, and it quickly crumbles into slag in the mouth, and it is even a little difficult to swallow. And Feng Lao's piece seems to be a bit exaggerated to describe it as melting in the mouth, but compared with the former, the latter's taste can't be better, eating in the mouth, it is extremely soft and tender, without the slightest rough feeling, and the colorful particles on its surface also have their own different flavors, and several flavors are mixed together, and there is an indescribable feeling.
The most important thing is that after eating this dry food into his stomach, it seems to turn into a hot stream, and Han Tu feels that most of his fatigue has disappeared.
As soon as he took a bite, he thought that if this thing was given to Xiaochuan, she should be fine. Thinking of this, he slowly helped Xiao Chuan up and let the latter lie in his arms.
I wanted to feed the rest of the dry food to Xiaochuan, but found that the latter was still half-asleep and half-awake, so how could he eat. Han Tu thought of hearing from the people in the village that when he was a child, he couldn't chew anything, and his parents chewed it and fed it to his children mouth-to-mouth.
Han Tu hurriedly put the remaining dry food in his mouth and chewed it, and then lowered his head to feed it to Xiao Chuan.
Feng Lao was stunned from the sidelines, and he couldn't help but think, are the children now showing affection so happy?
"Young man, if you don't want anything to happen to her, you'd better not do it. ”
Han Tu was stunned for a moment, and the movements in his hands stopped. Because he still had something in his mouth, he could only mutter, "Why?"
Han Tu, who had something in his mouth, could only make a tonal hmm-hmm, but Feng Lao understood, and replied: "You look at the small piece, there are more than ten kinds of vegetables and herbs on it, it is a great tonic, this child is so weak now, if you eat this thing for her, it will undoubtedly harm her." ”
After Han Tu made a few more mummmmies, he realized that he couldn't speak with something in his mouth, so he quickly swallowed the thing in his mouth and said, "Grandpa, you should help her take a look!"
"I have a good relationship with the Great Elder, if you don't say it, I'll check it out for her. As soon as the words fell, Feng Lao stretched out his wrinkled left hand and put it on the wrist of Xiao Chuan's right hand to take the pulse.
After more than ten seconds, the old man took his hand back and said, "Tell me what you know." ”
Han Tu replied: "We are on a mission with Yu Hao, we are on a mission with Senior Brother Yu Hao, he said that Xiao Chuan was entangled in love, and when he found out that he was poisoned, Senior Brother Yu Hao gave Xiao Chuan an exorcism pill. Originally, the situation did improve at that time, but who knew that later, Xiaochuan didn't know how to become like this, extremely weak, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. ”
"Weak, flushed, and sometimes unusually excited, but the hands and feet are really cold, and the symptoms do look like they have been entangled. Feng Lao said.
Han Tu listened to the words and grasped the key point. Feng Lao said that it was very similar, so it should not be, and hurriedly asked: "Then what happened to Xiaochuan, what kind of poison did he get?"
The old man smiled and said, "She wasn't poisoned, she just took a pair of medicines called three, four, five." ”
The old man suddenly spit out a few numbers, and Han Tu said inexplicably, but when he heard Feng Lao say that Xiaochuan was not in any danger, he was also much relieved, and then asked, "What is three, four, five?"
"Three, four, five refers to, three hours, four symptoms, five developments. It's a prescription that doesn't really work. After taking it, it will only last for three hours, and after three hours, the effect of the medicine will naturally fade. ”
"But. Han Tu couldn't help but interject: "Xiaochuan has been like this for a day. ”
"After listening to me, the main purpose of this prescription is to make people's physique weak, flushed, extremely excited, cold hands and feet, and if you add five different medicinal materials, there will be five different effects. However, no matter what herbs are added, after three hours, the person who takes this medicine will naturally recover his health without any sequelae. ”
Han Tu saw that the old man hadn't gotten to the point, so he urged: "You still haven't said why Xiaochuan is like this, besides, what is this medicine for, there is no actual harm, and it will return to its original state after three hours, isn't that useless?"
"In fact, this medicine is mainly used by physicians and apprentices, and during the graduation test, the apprentice will be asked to diagnose the person who takes this medicine, and if he mistakenly thinks that it is a tester, then he will fail the exam. ”
"Exorcism pills are made from a large number of expensive medicinal herbs, which can provide huge energy, but three, four, five mainly block the energy of the user inside the body, making it appear weak. The energy of this user has been gathered together, and taking this kind of big tonic will naturally cause conflicts, but fortunately, these two drugs are big tonics, and there will be no sequelae, at most a few days of weakness, just vomit a few times. ”
After Feng Lao finished speaking, he saw Xiao Chuan, who had woken up, was turning over and lying on Han Tu's arm, still retching, he was startled, and hurriedly said: "Boy, take her out quickly, if she vomits here, the old man will not be finished with you!"
When Han Tu heard this, he hurriedly hugged Xiaochuan out. The moment Han Tu stepped out of Feng Lao's room, Xiao Chuan finally couldn't help it, and turned around and spit into Han Tu's arms. After vomiting, Xiaochuan seemed to be a little sober, and found that he had vomited on Han Tu's body, his face was as red as an apple, and he didn't dare to look at Han Tu.
Han Tu didn't realize that Xiaochuan was already awake, and muttered to himself, it seems that he is going to go back to get some water and take a bath. Thinking of this, Han Tu looked down at Xiaochuan again and said, "It's a good person to do it to the end!"
After going back, Han Tu fetched some water, helped himself and Xiaochuan clean and then fell asleep, and it seemed that he would take several days to recover due to his serious physical exhaustion.
Early the next morning, Xiaochuan left, and didn't say goodbye to Han Tu, just left, and Han Tu didn't go to her to ask what was going on, knowing that she was fine, but didn't care so much.
In the next few days, Han Tu woke up and went to the dining area of the cafeteria to eat Haisai, and when he was full, he went back to the room and fell asleep.
Han Tu, who felt that his body had returned to his best condition, carefully thought about his plans for the next month or so, and he thought that his throwing skills had reached a certain level, at least there was no opponent among his age. He thought that it was better to learn another martial art, it stands to reason that he had inherited the skills of the Great Elder, and he should be familiar with the cultivation of internal strength, but in fact, Evergreen Gong has been cultivated for more than a month, and there is no progress in the slightest, but it has caused his black air flow to run wild and almost killed, since then he has decided not to cultivate internal strength for the time being, after all, small lives are important.
A few days ago, he experienced a beard again, and he cherished his life more and more in the face of death.
This kind of outer martial arts should be easier to achieve faster than internal martial arts, but Han Tu is only ten years old this year, and it is still a little difficult to swing a three-kilogram long sword freely.
If you had to choose a melee weapon, the dagger would be one of the first choices.
