Volume 1 The Walking Boy in the World Chapter 5 Saving People (1)
In the early morning of the second day, the drizzling rain was still falling, and the boy, who was accustomed to getting up early, got up from his bed, boiled water and cooked rice in a step-by-step manner, despite being very unwell.
After eating, Yu Yu turned out a wooden box in an inconspicuous corner, opened the wooden box, it was full of ordinary herbs after drying, the boy kept these herbs very carefully, each herb was wrapped in an old cloth and separated, but over the years, the boy had never had a disease such as wind and cold, so most of the collected in the wooden box were bruises, herbs that stopped bleeding and dissolved blood stasis.
In fact, there are some things in the box that the teenager knows very well in his heart, but he just has a bit of luck, hoping that he may have inadvertently collected a few herbs such as removing wind and cold a few times, but he forgot it. But the wooden box turned upside down, Yu Yu was finally deflated, sometimes it is not a good thing to have a good memory, it seems that he has to go into the mountain.
It's not that he doesn't want to go to the town to get medicine, it's just that he knows that he can't afford to pay the expensive consultation fee and medicine, and without the doctor's prescription, the pharmacy won't give him medicine, and it's just a small cold, if he wants to go to the town's hospital to see a doctor, he will have to spend a lot of money, and the poor and scared young man will not do that wrong. Moreover, over the years, he has met a lot of villagers who collect medicine in the mountains and forests, and there are not a few apprentices in the medical hall, and he has learned a lot of things after chatting, and he also picks herbs for a living, and he knows a lot of herbs such as wind and cold, and he also knows how to match torment.
Shaking his head, looking at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, Yu Yu knew that the rainy season was coming in advance, don't look at the light rain outside, it would not take half an hour to definitely rain as much as yesterday, sighing and having to follow the plan to go into the mountain, meditate quietly, hoping that the unknown breathing method can help him a little.
"Squeak, squeak"
The doll ran in from outside, Yu Yu opened his eyes and smiled and said, "It's raining outside, where did you go wild again?"
The doll ignored Yu Yu, jumped on the head of the bed and nested into the small bunk specially arranged for him by the young man, and fell asleep on it.
Yu Yu was bored, and he no longer paid attention to the doll's practice of weird breathing by herself.
The mountains were sometimes heavy and violent, sometimes drizzling, for three days, and never stopped.
Day 4
Yu Yu couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't expect this little wind and cold to have such a great power, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, and when he was ten years old, he began to go into the mountains to chop firewood and collect medicine to practice a good physique, but the people said that the illness came like a mountain, and today Yu Yu finally realized the taste of this torment, shook his head and sighed, it seems that he can't survive this time.
The miserable life and poor life have already exercised the tenacity of the young Yu Yu's heart, although he is top-heavy and weak, and his joints are extremely sore. The young man still put on his coat, put on his old coat, pinned his firewood knife, and greeted the doll with a big bamboo basket on his back and walked towards the mountain.
Today's weather has improved, although the sky is still gloomy, but fortunately, the wind and rain stopped, the rain silk as thin as cow's hair intermittently stopped from time to time, after the heavy rain, the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, Yu Yu found a long stick as a crutch, and it was still extremely difficult to walk along the way, but fortunately, in these years, he was mixed between the mountains and rivers every day, and he was very familiar with the grass and trees in the mountains, which saved a lot of effort to find herbs.
The time of the morning was fleeting, the young man was tired, he smiled bitterly and didn't care about the dampness of the ground, sat on the ground, took a few heavy breaths, took off the bamboo basket and looked at the poor herbs, sighed, after all, he still overestimated his physique and perseverance, he didn't expect that this easy thing on weekdays was as simple as eating, and it would be so difficult to do it today, look up at the sky, calculate the footsteps, Yu Yu had no choice but to stand up and walk down the mountain.
When Yu Yu passed by the stream on weekdays, he saw a figure standing under the dead begonia tree, and the young man felt a little respectful in his heart and walked over with a big bamboo basket on his back.
The figure was of medium age, dressed in a green shirt, with a tall posture, exuding a strong scholarly atmosphere, at this time he was facing away from Yu Yu and quietly looking at the begonia flower tree, as if sensing the arrival of the young man, the man turned to look at Yu Yu and smiled.
"Mister"
Without waiting for the middle-aged scholar to speak, Yu Yu bowed down and gave a big salute first, and the doll in Yu Yu's arms didn't seem to wait to see the middle-aged scholar, his mouth jumped to the ground and ran away without a trace, and the middle-aged scholar was not annoyed when he saw this and didn't pay much attention.
The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly and asked, "A few days ago, you went to the back mountain and the river?" In Yu Yu, Mr.'s voice was still so gentle, which made people feel very comfortable to listen to.
For Mr., Yu Yu didn't dare to hide it and replied respectfully: "Yes sir, I wanted to go over and have a look on a whim a few days ago." ”
"Then you've seen it all. ”
Not a question, but an affirmation, the middle-aged scholar said lightly.
Yu Yu recalled the situation that day, with a complicated expression on his face and a messy inner mind, but he still replied respectfully: "I saw it." ”
"Want to know what that is?"
Yu Yu knew what Mr. was asking, and replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”
"The mountains and rivers are strange, and there are dragons in the famous river, not to mention this river. When the river was mentioned, the middle-aged scholar's eyes were full of complicated looks, and he paused for a moment and then explained: "The one you bumped into that day was Jiaolong. ”
"Dragon!"
Yu Yu was taken aback, his heart was turbulent, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, is there really a dragon in this world?"
Mr. smiled, and then said: "At the end of the river, there is a great fierce place in the extreme east called the Nine Secluded Endless Sea, and there is a real dragon at the bottom of the sea, but this true dragon has been trapped for thousands of years, and I am afraid that it will die long ago, and most of the remaining climates in this world are Jiao." ”
Yu Yu was puzzled for a while when he heard this, because Mr. was talking about this world and not this world.
There are six fierce places in the world, and Yu Yu has heard these things talk about by Mr. Yu.
He didn't know why Mr. told him this, but he listened to it with relish, maybe he grew up in this Wuzhi Mountain, out of curiosity about the world outside the mountain, so sometimes Yu Yu prefers to listen to Mr. tell him these things.
Yu Yu clearly remembered that Mr. said that there were six fierce places in this world: 100,000 barren mountains and barbarian lands in the extreme south, 10,000 years of ice and snow in the extreme north, nine secluded endless seas in the extreme east, endless sand seas in the extreme west, and demon domains for three days. These places are either extremely dangerous and uninhabited, or fierce beasts and monsters are raging, they are some big dangerous places, but Mr. only told the boy about five places, as for the sixth place, Yu Yu also asked, Mr. just looked at the boy and smiled silently, and then stretched out a finger and pointed to the ground under his feet, which made Yu Yuzhang and the second monk puzzled, and what was the place in the last three days, Mr. also did not tell him.
Seeing that Yu Yu was silent in thought, the gentleman changed the topic and said, "The herbs in the basket are facing your illness, go home early and decoction and rest." ”
Although Yu Yu's life experience is miserable, he has been smart since he was a child, it should be said that he is very smart, not the kind of clever trickery, hearing what Mr. said and hurriedly replied: "The student will leave first." ”
Looking at Yu Yu's figure gradually moving away, Mr. turned to look at the stream, an inconspicuous gray fish in the stream came here at some point, also staring at the direction of Yu Yu's departure, Mr. looked at the inconspicuous gray fish and groaned for a long time.
"Alas......"
A sigh, light and long, disappeared the figure of the gentleman under the dead tree......
After Yu Yu left, thinking about what Mr. had just said, he was even more curious about the outside world. As he was moving forward, Yu Yu saw a petite figure lying on the muddy mountain road in front of the road. Yu Yu was surprised, and when he got closer, he found that the man was lying on the ground motionless, as if he was dead. Yu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and poked lightly with the wooden stick in his hand, and saw that the man still did not react, and couldn't help but feel anxious.
Young heart, simple and kind. Coupled with his mother's teachings and Mr.'s kind words, so when he sees others in difficulty, Yu Yu will always like to help, thinking that the people in front of him may be the people who went up the mountain to collect medicine in the town before, and they were trapped in the mountains when the heavy rain came, so Yu Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped the people on the ground.
After straightening the person, Yu Yu was stunned in place, this is a little girl, not more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but the young first aid person did not pay too much attention to the girl's appearance, and Mr. once said that if you are not indecent, you should not look at it.
Her wet hair was tied up and stuck to the girl's face, and her clothes were soaked with the rain.
Yu Yu cautiously poked out his index finger and found that the girl's breath was like a gossamer, and there was breath, but the whole person had her eyes closed and her face was pale. Tried to call twice, the girl never showed signs of sobering up, and then looked at the girl's clothes intact, except that the whole body was soaked by the rain, there was no trace of damage, and there was no external injury, this Yu Yu was embarrassed, but this was a human life after all, and Yu Yu had to try to carry the girl behind him.
In the afternoon, Yu Yu, who was seriously ill, took the girl back to his home with great effort, and then ran back to the place where he found the girl to find his bamboo basket.
After coming and going, he completely exhausted the little strength that Yu Yu had left, and now he was no better than the girl, sweat and rain mixed with his clothes soaked, panting like an ox, whirring.
Just put the bamboo basket Yu Yu felt that something was wrong, at a glance suddenly annoyed and angry, it turned out that the doll saw Yu Yu back a stranger, and this stranger is still very good-looking, the naughty nature of the doll suddenly couldn't be idle, it waited for Yu Yu to leave, ran to the stove to find a piece of charcoal, on the girl's face to write and draw, directly the girl's white face painted into a big flower face, charcoal left a black scratch on the girl's face, the doll was having fun to see Yu Yu walk in from the outside. Yu Yu went back and forth twice and was tired and half dead looking for the bamboo basket, and now he was even more angry, thinking about when the doll was still thinking about playing tricks, and secretly thought that after he got better, he must teach this guy a hard lesson, as for why not now, it's very simple, Yu Yu really doesn't have any extra strength, even if he takes a breath, he feels extremely laborious.
The doll is a very smart elf, when it saw Yu Yu coming back from outside, it had already hidden the little charcoal left behind him, and then looked at Yu Yu's face was calm, and the ghostly doll's big eyes fled with lightning speed in an instant.
Yu Yu almost scolded, but the young man was honest and honest, and he was also used to the stubbornness of the doll, so he opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end.
Sitting on the ground and resting for a while, I felt that my body had regained some strength, and I got up from the ground by holding the ground, and glanced weakly at the girl who was still unconscious on the bed, Yu Yu was helpless, and had to go to the firewood room to boil water first, and then found a clean and neat coarse cloth dipped in warm water to wipe the stains on the girl's face.
