Chapter 9 Villages
A wisp of green smoke rose from the silence of the mountain forest, and a young man was patiently roasting snake meat beside a large rock.
Lin Xi hesitated for a long time before making up his mind to eat these snake meats.
Although it was still disgusting, this was the first time Lin Xi had eaten snake meat.
No way, after walking for so many days, Lin Xi barely ate except for drinking some water by the stream. There wasn't even a single shadow of game along the way.
"It's been a long time, and besides the mountains and mountains, you still have the heart to barbecue and eat here. The other soul in Lin Xi's body was very dissatisfied.
"You can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, what is in a hurry, and you have to eat and drink enough to have strength when you are in a hurry. Lin Xi said as he ate a large mouthful of snake meat, which was very delicious, and then took out a jar of water stored by the stream, gurgling, and eating with relish.
In a few moments, all that was left on the ground were a few snake bones and some burned firewood. Lin Xi stretched out his arms and lifted up, yawning big, and his expression was much better than before.
Lin Xi bandaged his arm, which had already changed the medicine, and said, "Did you say that the immortals flew by that day." ”
"You say, it's a ghost. The other soul replied in a delightful manner.
Lin Xi's face was very excited, and he hurriedly said, "Then do you think that an immortal can cure my illness? How about finding an immortal and I will worship under him when the time comes?"
"If you don't want to die early, it's best to dispel this thought, cultivating the Tao, cultivating the Tao, everyone is practicing for themselves. Not to mention the evil cultivators among these people, why should they help you if they say that they are better? In the end, they will end up being used by them to refine medicine, hehe, then you will be miserable. ”
Indeed, you are not a person with a prominent background, and you have no value, so why should others help you.
Most people in this world are doing it for profit, and you, a person who has no interests to speak of, are not qualified to talk to these people. In the end, it can only be self-inflicted.
Lin Xi got up from the ground, the injuries on his body were almost good, and he only needed to find another pharmacy with a little medicine to heal. So I can't stay here now, I have to keep going.
On this side of the town, Cui Shan led Wang Xianshi to wander around the town, and Cui Ming urged him many times along the way, because this Confucian student was walking too slowly.
Finally, after catching two strings of sugar gourds, Cui Ming was sent away by this Confucian student. Wang Xianshi came to the door of Lin Xi's house alone, and he looked at the simple compound.
When he was about to push open the door and was about to enter. Found a big yellow dog glaring at him on the side, just as the big yellow dog was about to bark, Wang Xianshi glanced at it, for some reason, the big yellow dog named Ah Huang returned to the steps of his door in an orderly manner, and lay there quietly, as if he had forgotten something......
Wang Xianshi stepped inside, and the courtyard door opened automatically. He walked into the courtyard and didn't enter the inner room, just stood at the door and looked at the four crooked big characters: the old mansion of the Lin family.
The movement of the forest stream in the mountains and forests is fast, and it has already broken away from the deep mountainous area. Lin Xi turned to look at the jungle behind him, from time to time there were fierce beasts howling, and the birds were flying in the sky, it was really too big.
Lin Xi gradually slowed down to slowly regain his strength, and at this moment, two tall men suddenly jumped out from behind a big tree in front of him.
Just then, someone explained that there was a village, and Lin Xi walked forward very politely and said, "Uncle, hello, I'm ......"
Before Lin Xi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the concise words of these two men.
"Robbery!"
Robbery? Lin Xi was sure he heard correctly.
The sudden robbery directly made Lin Xi a little confused, and the two men saw that Lin Xi didn't speak, and shouted: "Don't worry, little baby, we are seeking money and not life, you can leave after putting down the valuable things on your body." ”
When they saw that Lin Xi was still standing there and didn't move, a shorter man whispered, "Big brother, isn't this baby stupid because of us, why is it still motionless." ”
"It doesn't matter if he's stupid or not, we can't go home empty-handed. Another man replied. The shorter man nodded.
After speaking, the two men walked towards Lin Xi together. The crunch of both fists.
In less than three quarters of an hour, the two men with blue noses and swollen faces were tied together by Lin Xi back to back.
Lin Xi squatted down and looked at them calmly, without speaking.
"We are already prisoners, and if we want to kill, we must listen to our respect. But please let my eldest brother go, it was not his intention to rob you. The shorter man was the first to speak.
"What's the matter, the idea is mine, and it will be unlucky for our brothers to be planted in the hands of your kid today. Something is coming at me. Another man spoke, seemingly strong-tongued, but in fact he was really scared in his heart. He wasn't afraid of what happened to him, but hoped that Lin Xi would let his younger brother go.
Can they all come out and rob?
These two men rushed to take the blame and watched Lin Xi on the side happy.
"Don't argue, I ask, you answer. If you answer, you will be fine, but you can't answer, hehe......" Lin Xi smiled very strangely, and scared the two men into sweating.
"Childe asked, and the two of us knew everything. ”
"Before me, you stopped other passers-by and did anything unreasonable. Lin Xi asked.
"I'm not afraid of Childe's jokes, today is the first time for our brothers, who knew that we would meet Childe, and we had no intention of hurting anyone. The shorter man hurriedly replied, not daring to slack off at all.
Lin Xi nodded and said, "Very good, then do you know where the nearest village here is?"
"Our village is relatively close to here, if Childe doesn't dislike it, we are willing to lead the way for Childe to make up for our mistakes. "This time it was another man who spoke.
"How can I believe that when you get to the village, you won't call for someone to come and arrest me. "Although Lin Xi is not afraid of many people, because he can't beat it, he can still run. But out of caution, I asked anyway.
After listening to Lin Xi's words, the shorter man hurriedly said: "Childe, please believe us, we are willing to swear that we will never embarrass Childe when we bring Childe to the village." ”
Lin Xi saw that the expressions of the two men were full of horror, so he believed them. Untie them with a dagger.
After the two men were untied, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you for the grace of the son not to kill, we are willing to be cattle and horses, and we will never slack off." ”
Lin Xi was originally a poor child, and he was never respected by a few people when he grew up so much. Now someone is kneeling down for you to the point that he is very uncomfortable, and hurriedly motioned for the two of them to get up.
After walking for a while, the shorter man couldn't hold back and said, "Listening to the child's accent, it doesn't look like a local......"
Before he could finish speaking, his eldest brother hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Don't mind, Childe, my younger brother has liked to talk a lot since he was a child, and he has disturbed Childe." ”
Lin Xi knew that he was afraid that he would think that his younger brother was inquiring about him, so he hurriedly explained. Lin Xi didn't mind, and said, "It's okay, you guys lead the way well, just say whatever you want." ”
The man who got Lin Xi's consent instantly became like chatter and began to chatter. Lin Xi regretted it a little, which reminded him of Doctor Jiang's buddy.
I don't know what happened to the people in the town after he left, and whether Xiao Cuishan would look for him everywhere? Is the uncle and aunt next door okay? What is the old gentleman doing now?
After walking for about a stick of incense, Lin Xi and the others finally arrived at a small village.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the two men told Lin Xi that they wanted to go back to see their mother, and then take Lin Xi into the village for a walk. Lin Xi agreed, but followed them to go back first and then come out.
After all, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
When they arrived at the door of a humble house, a faint woman's voice came from the house: "Da Zhuang, Er Zhuang, are you back?"
"It's us, mother, we're back, and we're bringing food. Da Zhuang replied.
As soon as I entered the house, the inside of the house was even more simple, and there was a small hole in the roof. Lin Xi looked at the mother of these two men. He is very kind-faced, a kind old man, but unfortunately he is blind.
The old man had already discovered Lin Xi, and asked the second Zhuang next to him, "Are there any guests?"
"Yes, mother, this is the new doctor in the village, and we have invited you to see a doctor. Da Zhuang said, his face full of helplessness.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, doctor, our family doesn't have much money, my wife should have left a long time ago, I dragged down the two children, please go back." The old man spoke very slowly, and his voice was very soft, but Lin Xi clearly felt the helplessness and sadness of the old man.
Lin Xi touched the old man's hand and said, "It's okay, these two big brothers have helped me, and I have also come here to do a little bit." ”
After hearing this, the old man said with tears in his eyes: "Doctor, I dragged down the children, so that they don't have wives now, don't lie to me......"
Lin Xi comforted the old man and said, "Don't lie, this is what I should do." After speaking, he walked out of the room and motioned for Da Zhuang to come over, and Lin Xi said, "What is the illness of the eldest mother?" ”
At this time, Da Zhuang's tears swirled in his eyes, and he said, "I contracted the wind cold not long ago. ”
Lin Xi took out a jar of medicine from the bamboo basket and said, "This is the medicine to alleviate the symptoms of the eldest mother, if you can trust me, when I go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, I will give the eldest mother a pair of medicines by the way, you just need to lead the way for me." ”
After hearing this, Da Zhuang immediately knelt down and said, "If the son can cure my mother's illness, I can make you a cow and a horse!"
Lin Xi helped him up and said, "You don't have to be like this, it's just for the sake of your filial piety." "Lin Xi now understands why they went to rob, because they don't have the money to treat their mother's illness, of course Lin Xi will help them.
Da Zhuang asked Erzhuang to take care of his mother at home, and then led Lin Xi to their pharmacy here.
"Ma's Pharmacy" This is the name of this pharmacy, as soon as Da Zhuang entered, a very powerful voice sounded inside: "I said don't come to buy medicine if you don't have money, I'm a medicine seller, not a medicine deliverer." I also want to live, and I also want to eat. ”
Da Zhuang looked at the shopkeeper of the pharmacy and didn't speak, Lin Xi walked in from behind, threw a bag of broken silver on the table and said, "I think these should be enough." When the shopkeeper heard the sound of broken silver, he instantly changed as if he had become a person, and the previous power face had long since lost where it had flown to.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy hurriedly came out to greet him, and said with a smile: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, it turns out that you are the son who came to buy medicine, and your mouth is cheap, your mouth is cheap." ”
"I'm buying medicine for him, and I need to get some of it myself. Lin Xi looked at the names of the various medicines on the medicine cabinet.
"Da Zhuang, you have also entered a big family, I was wrong before, but now you are an absolute guest when you come to us!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went to bring Da Zhuang in.
Seeing Lin Xi speechless at this scene, he hurriedly bought medicinal materials and left, because Lin Xi really couldn't stand people of this kind of force.
On the way back, Da Zhuang suddenly said: "Childe's injury should be injured by a fierce beast, and it is a snake." ”
Lin Xi didn't expect Da Zhuang to see that his injury was caused by this, and said suspiciously, "How did Uncle Da Zhuang see it?"
Da Zhuang said: "Our brothers have been active in the mountains all year round, how can we not know. Looking at Childe's injury, it seems that it happened a few days ago. ”
Lin Xi nodded and stopped answering. Although Da Zhuang guessed that it was a snake, he definitely didn't know that it was a giant python.
"By the way, Uncle Zhuang, do you have a place to auction antiquities here?" Lin Xi seemed to remember something, and his eyes lit up.
Da Zhuang scratched his head and said, "Yes, yes, but rough men like us can't see it, so we don't go to that place, I don't know if it's now." ”
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Uncle Zhuang, go and make money with me." ”
Da Zhuang was puzzled, but nodded anyway.
