Chapter 1: The Dying Old Man
The Xuanwu Continent is said to stretch for tens of billions of miles, and no one knows how big it is. Because no one has ever seen what the edge of the continent looks like.
The country of Wu, the vast mountain, is located on the west side of the country. There are hundreds of thousands of miles in a radius, and it is said to be a fairy mountain. In all dynasties, there will always be some mountain villagers who claim to have seen immortals flying through the clouds.
The mountain is rich in elixir, but there are also countless fierce beasts and spirits. On the edge of the mountain is an unknown village, which is remote but beautiful. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, there are countless villages around the vast mountains that rely on the resources on the mountains to survive.
The men go out hunting on weekdays, while the women work and weave at home, relying on the resources of the mountains to achieve self-sufficiency. On this day, the hunters in the village were walking cautiously on the edge of the Cangmang Mountain, and they did not dare to go too deep. On weekdays, they only move on the edge of the mountain, hunting some common beasts.
The leader of the Orion, tall and sturdy, carried a large knife with a bright light in his hand. A coarse linen robe could not hide his well-developed muscles in the slightest, and the leopard's head was ringed, and between the expectations, a fierce aura seemed to rush to his face.
Orion was holding a large knife in one hand, and a child in the other. The boy was about seven or eight years old, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, a pair of eyes that were rolling around, and he looked very intelligent. From time to time, he broke free from Orion's big hands and ran around the crowd.
All the Orions looked at him lovingly. He is the only son of the Orion leader Gao Daquan, and today is his eighth birthday. has been pestering everyone to come to this reckless mountain for a long time.
The leader of the Orion looked at his only son with a doting face, and he didn't want to take him to this Cangmang Mountain to hunt, but he couldn't bear him to stalk him, so he had to answer him.
So I planned to take everyone to walk around the edge at will, thinking that under the care of everyone, it should be no big deal. "Hey, Daddy, do you see there's a guy in the grass over there?"
The seven or eight-year-old boy could not sit idle for a moment, and looked around, but he found that there seemed to be a figure lying on the ground in the grass, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and saw that there was indeed a person lying on his stomach in the grass not far away, full of white hair, covered in blood, with tattered clothes, facing the earth, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"I think I'm just unconscious, not dead yet. The leader of the Orion, Gao Daquan, saw that although this man was covered in blood and miserable, his back still had a slight undulation. Seeing this, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to come forward and helped this person up. "It seems to be an old man, but somehow he ran to this vast mountain"
As the crowd lifted him up, they found that the man's face was wrinkled, his face was covered with brown age spots, and his exposed skin was as shriveled as old bark. There is indeed a slight snort in the mouth and nose.
"O evil, this old man is probably abandoned in the wilderness by the unworthy descendants of his family, and somehow he has fallen into this situation" Everyone talked about it. Although there are few unfilial people in Wu Kingdom, seeing that this old man is old, he is afraid that he will not be able to go up the mountain alone, so he guesses. Although such incidents have never happened in the village, many people have heard of them.
It is rumored that there are some uncivilized and barbaric villages around this vast mountain, which often abandon the old and weak to the wilderness and fend for themselves in order to reduce the consumption of food.
However, most of the people in this village are kind-hearted, and they have discussed a few words with each other, and they do not intend to let it go. Instead, he was going to carry him back to the village and let Langzhong, the only one in the village, be treated.
Outsiders are rarely seen in mountain villages. The news spread quickly, and after a while, a group of people gathered around. Everyone saw that the old man was covered with wounds, and the blood was still slowly oozing out, and the onlookers were a little anxious in their hearts, and their eyes showed compassion.
"What's wrong with this old man, where did he find it?" a hoarse voice came from behind the crowd. With the words, an old man squeezed out of the crowd. The old man was about sixty years old, and he was very thin. A pair of eyes are unusually bright. It is the only old man in the village.
"Mr. Lu is here, come and see if this old man can be saved. Everyone was anxious, and when they saw Lu Langzhong coming, they hurriedly scattered and made room for Lu Langzhong.
Lu Langzhong saw the old man covered in blood from a distance. Knowing that the situation was urgent, he didn't ask anymore, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a lot of yellow powder and sprinkled it on the wound on the old man's body.
I don't know what kind of elixir is contained in this porcelain bottle, and the effect is very amazing. The wound that was still bleeding just now was sprinkled with the powder, and it was visibly stopped a lot with the naked eye. Only then did everyone relax and praise Mr. Lu's medical skills.
Most of the people in the village were kind-hearted, and they didn't want the old man to die like this. Lu Langzhong did not answer, frowned slightly, grabbed the old man's wrist, and observed carefully. I saw this old man, with dozens of wounds on his body, large and small, and his clothes were no longer colored. All stained reddish-brown with blood.
At this moment, he was faintly a little lonely in his heart, this old man looked eighty years away, how could he be unconscious in the mountains and forests, and the wound on his body was not like a beast biting, it was like a man-made.
"It seems to be caused by a traumatic wound, but the wound is not like a wild beast's bite, and the pulse is weak, it must be that he has lost too much blood and is unconscious, but I don't know who did it.
Carry him to my house first, so that I may stop his bleeding and boil medicine. If you're lucky, you might be able to save your life. ”
Human life is at stake, Lu Langzhong didn't think about it, and hurriedly ordered everyone. When everyone heard this, they lifted the old man with their hands and feet and went straight to Lu Langzhong's house. This Lu Lang is very knowledgeable, it is said that the ancestor was born as a royal doctor, and he didn't know what big people he offended, so he took refuge in this wild mountain village.
The medical skills are extraordinary, and on weekdays, the hunters in the village go up to the mountains to hunt, no matter how seriously injured, as long as there is still breath, there are very few who he can't save. The popularity in the village is excellent, and he is known for his warm-heartedness.
No matter who needs help in a difficult situation, he always does not shirk. When encountering poor people in the family, they often do not take a penny. Besides, Lu Langzhong went home with everyone. Immediately began to be busy, helping him stop bleeding and healing his wounds, cleaning his wounds, and decocting soup and boiling medicine. Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and he is not willing to delay time at all.
Some of the people returned home, while others were still a little worried, so they stayed behind to help Lu Lao. Soon in the evening, everyone dispersed. As everyone left, there were bursts of voices from the north window of Lu Langzhong's house.
Then a slender finger leaked through the window paper, and then the finger retracted, and an eye appeared, which peeked through the window paper hole. The owner of the eyes is none other than the child who found the old man in the daytime, the only son of the Orion leader Gao Daquan.
The people in the mountains and wilderness have no culture, and this little tiger has no official name when he is eight years old, and everyone calls him Xiaohu on weekdays. His father, Gao Daquan, had already planned to find Lu Langzhong for his eighth birthday today, after all, he was the most literate person in this mountain village Lu Lang.
It must be much smarter than himself and his mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened, and he didn't mention the name again. Life in a mountain village is boring and boring, and it is rare for anything strange to happen.
Little Tiger is eight years old, and it is a time of curiosity. During the day, he ran with everyone before and after, but he never left. He didn't even bother to eat when his mother called him home for dinner.
At this moment, I saw that the adults were gone.
He snuck back and leaned against the window to peek in. The old man lying on the bed, his clothes were already stained with blood, and he couldn't see the color and texture. The wounds all over his body no longer bleed.
But there are still a lot of turns, bones seem to be visible in many places, and a piece of clothing seems to have become a beggar's outfit, and one by one rags barely cover the body.
The old man's face was even more pale and bloodless.
"This old man's life is really big, and he was covered in blood and fell in the mountains and forests and was not eaten by fierce beasts. Fortunately, I found out, otherwise I am afraid that he would have fallen into the mouth of the beast a long time ago, and I really hope that he can get better soon. ”
Xiaohu has always been kind-hearted, and secretly prayed for this old man in his heart. He leaned on the window and looked at it for a while, his stomach gurgling, and then he remembered that he had visited the excitement today, and he hadn't even eaten. Just as I was about to turn around and go home. But he seemed to see the old man's eyelids twitch, as if he was about to wake up.
