Chapter 9: The Tale of a Boy in a Cave
The decoction is finally ready.
Alayanzong poured the medicinal soup into a broken bowl and left it to dry for a while until the medicinal soup was not hot in his mouth.
Ula Peach woke her mother up, lifted her head, and made her lean on top of her.
Alayanzong took the medicine bowl and fed Aunt Ula the decoction.
Aunt Ulla frowned and shook her head, saying that she couldn't swallow it.
Under the persuasion of Alayanzong and Ula Peach, Aunt Ula reluctantly drank half a bowl of decoction.
Aunt Ulla lay down on the haystack again and fell into a deep sleep.
There is also a lot of medicinal soup in the clay pot.
Alayanzong said to the peach of Ulla: "Let's drink some too, this has a preventive effect." “
Ulla's Peach nodded in agreement.
The two of them drank the medicinal soup in the clay pot cleanly.
He poured out the dregs, washed the clay pot at the mountain spring, refilled it with water, put it on the fire, and continued to boil the water.
Alayanzong is for Aunt Ula to wake up at any time and have water to drink.
The two decided to go to the three bandits and find out what they could use.
Alayanzong took the torch and lit it, and returned to the three bandits with the peach of Ulla.
Find a wine bag on the fat bandit. Alayanzong shook it, there was still a lot of wine in it, opened the cork and smelled it, and was sure that it was wine.
Alayanzong shook his head, you must know that the fat bandit has alcohol on him, and it will be much more convenient to operate on Aunt Ula just now.
On the tall bandit, a money bag was also found, which contained some gold coins and silver dollars. Alayanzong checked a lot.
It just so happened that Alayanzong didn't have any money on him.
Master doesn't have any savings, and the money he earns from medical consultations, except for daily food and clothing, is almost all of it, or he will use that money to buy medicinal herbs collected by the mountain people.
The tall bandit also had a bag with fried rice in it, and it seemed that it was their dry food.
A bag of dried salted fish was found on the short bandit, and he also had a rope as thick as a little finger wrapped around his waist, four or five meters long.
Untie the baggage on their bodies one by one, and there are basically some clothes and cloth shoes inside.
Alayanzong decided that in addition to the possibility of using the above items, he also wanted to take off the coat from the bandits, take them to the cave, and spread them on the ground to protect them from the tide.
With the help of Ula Peach, when the short man's coat was removed, Alayanzong found that he was actually wearing a military coat.
Looking at the other two people, there are also military uniforms inside.
Arayanzon finally understood that the three men were the defenders who had escaped from the city-state of Allah.
They simply covered their military uniforms with civilian clothes. The scimitars they use are all uniform sabers.
Alayanzong felt very uncomfortable in his heart, this soldier who used to defend the city for the people, when he was in the city-state, how disciplined he was.
Now because of the pandemic, because of the fear of death, they fled the castle.
When soldiers leave the constraints of the army, they will also become thieves and bandits, and become road ragemasters who harm the common people.
Alayanzong threw the three corpses down the mountain stream, fearing that the corpses would be parked here to attract wolves.
The two packed up the cutlass and other belongings and took them back to the cave.
The two of them moved the fire in the cave and swept the ashes of the fire in the cave with weeds.
It was warmer to spread some firewood and grass on the hot ground again, and to cover it with a layer of bandits' clothing, and to carry Aunt Ulla to it.
Arayanzong and Ula Peach gathered around the fire, spread their clothes on both sides, and lay down on it.
From time to time, the Alayan sect would add some dry wood to the fire so that the fire would not be extinguished.
Although the two of them were very tired, they were not sleepy yet, and whispered.
Alayanzong was two years older than the peach of Ullah. When the Master brought Alayanzong back to Allah's coastal city-state, the peach of Ullah had not yet been born.
Master often goes up the mountain to collect medicines, and he will also go to other people's homes for consultation, which is extremely inconvenient to take the Alayan Sect with him.
At this time, Aunt Ula was already pregnant, and it was inconvenient to go out, so she often took Alayanzong home to take care of it. So Alayanzong has a deep affection for Aunt Ula.
Even usually, when Alayanzong's clothes were torn and needed to be sewn and repaired, Aunt Ula helped to do it.
After the birth of the peach of Ulla, the Alayanzong stayed at Aunt Ulla's house almost every day, guarding this little sister.
When Ula Peach would run around, it was basically under the leadership of the Alayan Sect, and the two of them played freely.
When Alayanzong was five or six years old, he learned to read and write with his master, and Ula Peach was also babbling and learning.
Alayanzong practiced martial arts one move at a time in the courtyard, and the peach of Ula was even more similar to that behind him. And the Alayanzong became the head of the martial arts of Ula Peach.
Later, Alayanzong was able to go out to the mountains to collect medicine alone, and the peach of Ula was always his little tail, and he couldn't shake it off.
When Ula Peach was eleven or twelve years old like a big girl, she no longer ran around with the Alayan Sect.
The two of them can be said to be real childhood sweethearts, and they have no guesses.
Even if the two of them didn't play together every day, when the Alayan Sect couldn't help the master boil the medicine, Ula Peach would come over to help.
Aunt Ula needs a helping hand in any strength, and Alayanzong is even more obligated to go.
The two families are very close because of the relationship between the children. Master also once mentioned to Aunt Ula that when the two children grew up, they would be married.
Aunt Ula and Uncle Ula also discussed, so it's best to kiss and kiss.
However, before the marriage was officially decided, the father of Master and Ula no Tao passed away.
The death of a loved one made the minds of the two children mature rapidly, and they were ignorant of the relationship between men and women before, and they didn't pay attention to it at all.
Now that the two of them are close at hand, they are talking quietly, and a strange feeling has emerged in their hearts.
Arayanzong felt that the peach of Ula was the person he was destined to be closest to.
When they left the city-state yesterday, if it weren't for taking care of Master, he would have really left with Ula Peach.
Now I find that Aunt Ula is injured without his protection, and I am not sure if he can be cured, because his medical skills are not as high as Master's, he just sees what he does.
And Ula Zhitao has regarded Alayanzong as a big brother since he was a child, she follows him wherever he goes, and she follows him wherever he does.
That feeling of clinging to each other has always been in her heart, but she never said it out of girlish shyness.
Since she escaped from the city yesterday, she has become more and more lonely, and although she is accompanied by her mother, that loneliness is not something that her mother can comfort.
When she was surrounded by three bandits today and had nowhere to escape, the first thing she thought of was the Alayan Sect. However, God really favored her, and the Alayan Sect really appeared.
