Chapter 14: Insect Corpses I

Seeing Gerard enter the door, Ramru and Atto jumped up and squeezed into a corner of the hut as if they had been stepped on by their tails. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I also stood up and looked into the wooden basin, and saw that it contained a small half pot of oily meat, and I didn't know what kind of meat it was, but it was fragrant. I said: "Thanks to the care of the nobles, we are grateful, and I will tell my brother that this kindness will be remembered in my heart." ”

I am not very comfortable with such a compliment in a round tone, and it is as rusty as Gerard speaking the Central Plains dialect. He didn't pay much attention to it, and said with a smile: "We are almost a family, you are welcome, I can make a friend like you before moving the clan, the patriarch and Mr. Nagu are very happy." This is freshly grilled black bear meat, which is eaten while it is hot, and it will not taste good when it is cold. ”

I also smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

Grear waved his hand, and the two men behind him strode up and placed the tub on the edge of the campfire, and Gallard said, "Eat, take your leave." ”

He was about to turn around and go out, but I stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I wonder if my brother has brought medicine?"

Glar turned around and smiled, patted his head, and said, "Look at my head, I almost forgot about it." As he spoke, he took out a dark yellow cloth bag from the animal skin coat on his chest, handed it to me, and said, "This is the best pain medicine in our Heavenly Wolf Clan, give." ”

I don't know how, but I always felt that Grard's smile was a little weird, and his attitude was very different from when he left not long ago, but it was a little too enthusiastic. I didn't think much of it, I took the medicine bag and checked it, the weight was not light, enough for Ramru to apply to them.

The Gerard people were much more relaxed, and they said "farewell" and took them away. When they closed the wooden door again, Ramru and Atto dared to come over, and Atto looked at the barbecue in the wooden basin and said strangely, "God, how did you become a family with them?

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said: "How can I be a family with them, it's just that their Heavenly Wolf Tribe will move to our Middle Earth from time to time, and the imperial court will give them land, and it will be under the control of my Great Song Dynasty at that time, and the family is their own statement, and we don't say that." ”

Ato's look like he wanted to say something and said, "Will they come back when they're gone?"

The relocation of the Sky Wolf Tribe's ability to leave this place would undoubtedly be a removal of the thorns on their backs for Ramru, right? Without the threat of the Sky Wolf Clan, they could come here to hunt bears with more peace of mind. Middle Earth is huge, and I don't know where the imperial court will place the Heavenly Wolf Clan, but it will definitely not arrange them in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the territory given to them can only be in the border area of the Great Song Dynasty. After returning to the Great Song Dynasty, the Heavenly Wolf Clan will be under the control of the imperial court, and they will not easily move back, and the imperial court will not allow them to do so, unless the Heavenly Wolf Clan reneges on the alliance and defeats the treaty and turns against the imperial court. However, with the harshness of the Song system, the strength of the Sky Wolf Clan, I am afraid that in the end, it will be self-defeating.

Although Atto had been to Middle-earth, he had never been exposed to much of the imperial legal system, and most of them were unaware of the rigor of the imperial system. I didn't want to explain to her too much, for fear of ruining their mood, so I just smiled and said, "Our Middle-earth is thousands of miles away from you, and they won't come back after they're gone." ”

As if relieved, Atto nodded and translated my words to Ramru, and they spoke to them, and they were in a good mood to hear it, and they were really happy. Seeing them smile, I was also relieved, only to feel that the inexplicable fear of the Ramru tribe in my heart had disappeared all at once.

A few people laughed and laughed, forgetting their current situation for a while, I saw that their eyes were more intentional or unintentional glances at the meat in the wooden basin, this day's nervousness I was already hungry, immediately sat on the edge of the wooden basin, grabbed a piece of meat from the wooden basin, and said, "Ato, you come and eat." ”

Ramru and the others are also greedy, and they all sit around the wooden basin when I say this, and they don't care if their hands are dirty or not, and the bear meat in the wooden basin is a nonsense meal. The bear meat roasted by the Sky Wolf Clan is also extraordinary, and the oily meat is sprinkled with seasonings, and there is a taste of all kinds on the tip of the tongue. This bear meat is also fat, a bite down the mouth is full of oil, plus this condiment, the fat but not greasy deliciousness is almost the same as the delicacies in the Eight Immortals Building.

In just a few moments, a pot of bear meat was eaten clean by us, and there was not even any meat residue left in the wooden basin.

After eating the roast bear meat, everyone's complexion immediately improved, and Ramlu and several people were already injured, and they had always been depressed, but now they have some strength to speak. I also only felt that my body had added some strength, although there was a lot of bear meat in the wooden basin, I was only half full after being divided by the seven of us, but the feeling of prostration on my body was significantly reduced, and my whole body was warm.

After eating the meat, I distributed the medicine bag that Gerard gave me to Atto and Hogg, and when they opened the cloth bag, it contained the wound medicine powder that could be seen everywhere on the streets of the Central Plains, and I think it was also sent by the imperial court to give it to the Heavenly Wolf Tribe. There is not much time to leave the Central Plains, although I am common on the street, but when I see it at this time, I can't help but feel a little homesick. With trauma medicine, the wounds on Ramlu's body should heal faster, I often hear Su Qingyao mention the witchcraft medicine of the tribes in the Western Regions, and I have also heard Su Qingyao talk about the exquisiteness of witchcraft that can bring people back to life, in fact, Su Qingyao is so exaggerated because of his obsession with witchcraft, if you really compare, where can the witch doctor in the Western Regions compare to the medicine of the Central Plains? It's just that this seemingly simple yellow powder is beyond the reach of the Western Regions, and it needs to be made through several processes, and the effect will be better than the medicine they simply mixed with plants and trees.

After bandaging the wounds of Ramru, several people were in a much lighter mood, Ramru and the other three injured people were half-lying on the grass and chatting without a word, and Atto and Hogg were also talking, holding the residue of the trauma medicine in their hands, and from time to time they put it on the tip of their nose to smell it. Xu was nervous for an afternoon, and several people soon felt a little tired.

I sat down against the wooden wall, and although the grass was covered with dust, it was very comfortable to sit on, and I don't know why, but I didn't feel sleepy, and I ate some bear meat, and now I was in good spirits. Maybe it's because I've been lying in Ramru for so long, and this makes me feel more relaxed.

The planks were not tightly constructed, with a finger-wide gap between them, and when you leaned your head against the planks, you could hear the intermittent chirping of insects in the grass outside the house. As I was sticking the shadow chasing sword to the edge of the straw shop, rubbing the stains on it, Atto sat down, holding the cloth containing the wound medicine in his hand, and said, "God, there is still some medicine left here, I will put the Gugu fruit in it and put it on your arm." ”

There was also a tired look on her face, I put down the shadow chasing sword, took a small piece of medicine cloth in her hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Ato, I'll change it myself, you can rest early." ”

Being so concerned by her, I don't want to bother her anymore, she is thin, and she has experienced such hunting things in the afternoon, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it for a long time. Atto smiled and said, "This medicine is very good, better than ours, Ramru smeared this medicine, and the wound will soon be painless." ”

I said, "This is our medicine for Middle-earth, which is sold everywhere on the streets, and is specially used to apply wounds. ”

Ato, who was silent for a while, said in a low voice: "Your things in the Central Plains are so good. ”

She also knows the gap between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, I didn't know what to say for a while, I looked at her and said: "By the way, Ato, have you ever thought about returning to the Great Song Dynasty, in this way, you will get the territory, and life will be better." ”

"Submit to your court?" said Ato, turning his head to look at the others. By this time the bonfire in the hut had grown smaller, and the light of the fire was faint, and Ramru and Hogg were already lying on the grass and were about to fall asleep, and two of the clansmen were sleeping fast and were already snoring softly.

"We are not going anywhere, this is our home, we are born here, and we will die here, Ramru will not agree to go to your court, and neither will we. ”

I said, "But if you move to the Central Plains, you will have a new home, is there any difference between living there and living here?"

Atto smiled and said stiffly: "God, if you Central Plains people want to return to the Western Regions and move to live with us, will you be willing?"

My heart trembled and I couldn't speak. The imperial court intends to appease the tribes of the Western Regions, I have thought that this is the imperial court's plan to expand the territory, and I have always thought that it is not a bad thing for their tribes, and they will be given land so that they can enjoy a blessed year. But Ato's words made me feel like I was empowered, and I was drenched. Indeed, the Western Regions is the burial ground of their tribesmen, who wants to be far away from the countryside and bow to the people? As I thought before, if the Western Regions and the Central Plains are upside down, and the Central Plains is just a lonely tribal land, will we be willing to submit to the Western Regions? Of course not, at least I will not do so.

I have always been indifferent to the policies of the imperial court, and I do not know much about the friendly exchanges between the imperial court and the Western Regions, and these days I have been with Ato, and I am accustomed to seeing the difficulties of their lives, so I take it for granted that if their tribe wants to live a stable life, it must return to the Great Song court. But from this point of view, I am just a drifter blinded by appearances, in the final analysis, whether it is a person from the Central Plains or a tribe from the Western Regions, there is no difference at all. Maybe the Central Plains is prosperous, and we live a life of singing and drinking like flowers, but is it true that the Western Regions are down, and the people of the tribe will not be happy in their own lives? Then, I have always thought that the idea of the tribes of the Western Regions relocating to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly a bit ridiculous.

However, there are people from the tribes of the Western Regions who have returned to the imperial court, such as the Shang Boyu clan, the Heavenly Wolf clan in front of them, and probably even the Yuan Rong tribe has now moved to the Great Song Dynasty.

Qi exists between all things, and all things have two ways: yin and yang.

Perhaps many of the tribes in the Western Regions submitted to the imperial court, but those tribes who preferred to stay in their own land were even more admirable.

I was embarrassed for a while by Ato's words, and I only felt that her thin body suddenly became taller, in fact, thinking about whether the tribes in the Western Regions could move or not had nothing to do with me, and it was not my turn to worry about it, but I had stayed with Ramru for a long time, and I didn't feel like thinking about it.

Atto didn't know what I was thinking, so he just snorted and said, "It's late, you can sleep." After a pause, she smiled again and said, "Thank you today, God." So saying, she got up and stepped aside, and lay down silently on the straw.

The men of Ramru were already asleep, and the straw paved was stretched against the wall, and they were lying side by side, with five or six people in the empty bunk between them. The two people who were sleeping fast were already snoring loudly at this time, and they seemed to be out of breath for a while.

Without further thought, I placed the cloth on the straw bunk and, while there was still some fire, untied the leaves wrapped around my right arm. The leaves had been soaked by the river, and their original green had turned a little black, but the thick leaves were so resilient that they still wrapped my entire right arm tightly.

Turning away the leaves, my right arm, which was as red as a ghost's claw, came into my eye again, the leaves were soaked, and even the right arm was wet, and there were not many leaf flakes sticking to the thin red scales.

Seeing my deformed right arm again, I couldn't bear to look at it directly, so I grabbed the shadow chasing sword and cut off a small strip of tiger fur from my waist to wipe off the debris on my right arm. Wiped off the debris, the whole right arm seemed to be washed again, reflecting the faint firelight, and the tiny scales were shiny and shiny.

It was really unexpected for me to be able to slap people and horses down with one palm. I raised my right palm and put it in front of me to look at it, the texture of the palm was still clearly visible, but it seemed to be covered with several layers of fascia, a little thick, and with the sharp nails that were red and black, the whole palm looked like a bear's paw. However, bearpaw fingers are short and thick, and mine is much longer.

I applied the only remaining trauma medicine in the medicine cloth to my right arm, and when my left hand touched my right arm, it was still cold, but my right arm did not feel the slightest abnormality, only that the blood in my right arm was still hot.

If I find Dream Hanyan, maybe my right arm will be restored to its original state, right?

I let out a long sigh, and my mind felt like a mess.

I applied the only remaining trauma medicine in the medicine cloth to my right arm, and when my left hand touched my right arm, it was still cold, but my right arm did not feel the slightest abnormality, only that the blood in my right arm was still hot blood.

I didn't know that this wound medicine would work, so after applying the medicine, I wrapped the wide leaves around my right arm again, and the straw rope that had been tied before was useless, so I removed the belt around my waist and the tiger skin cloth I had just cut, and used my left hand and teeth together to tie the leaves again.

After changing the medicine, I opened the tiger skin coat on my chest again, trying to let the damp water stains out. The tiger skin coat was stained with water, and it was quite uncomfortable to stick to my body, but when it was opened, I felt a little comfortable. Leaning his head on the plank, the bonfire in the house could no longer be fired, but the deep pile of burned branches was still shining with a bright red light, and I was afraid that it would not be long before it would be completely extinguished. Looking at the embers, before I knew it, my eyelids were gradually closing.

I don't know how long it took, but I was in a daze, but I faintly heard a soft whisper outside the house. I had always fallen asleep, and although the sound was muffled by the two snoring clansmen in the room, I heard it and slowly opened my eyes.

At this time, the bonfire in the wooden house was completely burned out, but there were streaks of moonlight leaking from the cracks in the wooden wall at the door, and the room was not too dark. I left the plank with my head off the plank, and was about to hear what was going on outside, when a familiar voice sounded outside the house: "Are all the people inside sleeping?"
