Chapter 53: The Medicine Seller
There was a man in the crowd, shirtless, not tall, but full of solid muscles, and a fierce and unusual cobra on his chest.
He was kicking the stance, punching and kicking, causing everyone to cheer in unison, Wu Song looked at it and disagreed, his tricks were flashy, it was a trick of the artists in the rivers and lakes, this was to win applause and earn a few taels of silver.
Wu Song is a martial arts master, so he naturally can't look down on this unpopular flower fist embroidered legs, so his eyes were scattered, moved elsewhere, put a bamboo basket on the ground, and a big burden, look at this posture, after the man finished performing his fists and feet, he was going to sell medicine.
Sure enough, the man's tricks were only twenty or thirty moves, and he finished it quickly, but he also won the applause of the audience, he pushed the onlookers to surrender his hands, and said the rivers and lakes: "The villain wants to go to Tokyo to join his relatives, pass through Yanggu County, get seriously ill, recuperate for several months, and owe the rent, so he has no choice but to come out to sell his art, want to get money, settle the rent, and have a coil, you can continue on the road......"
Wu Song was bored of hearing this, and was about to go to the Lion Tower, find Wang Erniu, and ask him to come over and ask if this person is really lacking in entanglement, if yes, give him a little, if not, forget it, anyway, looking at his fists and feet, it is boring.
"The villain has learned to fight since he was a child, and he will give you ugliness first, the so-called uselessness is not punished, so that everyone can see a little three-legged cat kung fu, and they will beg for money, which is shameless, not a hero's doing......."
Hearing his words, Wu Song felt that this man was quite honest, so he stopped to see what else he had to say.
"There are a lot of people who want to sell martial arts and medicine in your land, they are all going out, each has difficulties, I don't dare to say how others are, but generally they sell medicine for bruises and knife wounds, whether it can work, no one knows, the villain sells is different, it is snake medicine, specializing in the treatment of poisonous snake bites, such as spiders, centipedes and other poisonous insects, it is also very curative, seeing that the spring is over, it is Duanyang, the poisonous insects are out of the hole, and it is good to keep them for backup.
Wu Song became more interested, generally selling bone-setting medicine is nothing more than performing things like chest crushing boulders, invulnerability, etc., but what do you want to perform when selling snake medicine, do you want to find someone to bite a poisonous snake and then take his medicine? Who would be so stupid.
In his thoughts, the man opened the bamboo basket, and a black-backed and white-bellied cobra slowly crawled out, and erected a body about two feet high outside the basket.
When everyone saw such a big cobra crawling out and spitting out the letter, they couldn't help but take a few steps back, but they were very curious to see how the man performed.
The man grabbed the seven inches of the eye snake, the technique was very agile, he held the cobra high, sure enough, there was a length of about two meters, he said: "Everyone has seen that the snake's fangs have not been removed, and the villain has to use his own body to test the poison, and then detoxify, so that everyone can know my true talent." ”
Wu Song looked at him with interest, wanting to see if he was true or fake, so he paid attention to the part of his body that he used to bite with a cobra.
Who knew that the man actually stretched out his tongue, about two inches, and his upper and lower teeth clenched half of his tongue to prevent blood from flowing back, picked up the cobra and put it on the exposed half of the tongue, the cobra bit down, and immediately let out an exclamation from the crowd, Wu Song was also very moved, this can't be faked no matter what, and he was very worried about his safety.
You must know that cobra venom can circulate through blood, and the blood of the whole body will be coagulated within half an hour, and the tongue of the man bitten by a cobra is purple and gradually turns black, and he does not use medicine, but goes around the field for a week, so that everyone can see clearly, everyone has to give in, you know, he still has a cobra in his hand, in case the poison hair is released, it is not a joke.
After the man walked around, he slowly put the cobra back into the bamboo basket, opened the baggage, there were dozens of packs of snake medicine in it, he beckoned, signaled to send someone out, and picked out a bag for him at will, proving that all the medicines were the same.
But no one rushed out, Wu Song was worried that something was wrong with him, so he immediately walked out and took a bag of medicine for him at random, the man arched his hand at Wu Song, opened the medicine bag, and there was a little yellow medicine powder inside, he picked a little bit with his fingers, and smeared it on his tongue, and the tongue immediately flowed out of jet-black blood, and in less than half a cup of tea, a pitch-black tongue turned back to pink, and everyone saw it, and they all clapped desperately, and Wu Song was also very happy.
The man arched his hand and smiled: "Everyone has seen the efficacy of my snake medicine, if you feel necessary, please buy some, how much money is also given at will, don't care!"
He picked up a plate, put the medicine bag on it, and was about to go out to sell the medicine, Wu Song looked at the magic, and his heart was also moved, and he took out a little broken silver from the bad, and he also wanted to buy a little.
"Okay, you're a man, it's here!"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted and scolded, rushed out, hugged the man, and continued to scold: "I have been looking for you for a day, it turns out that you are still in Yanggu County, hurry up and accompany my horse, otherwise I will pull you to the county office." ”
Boom, as soon as the onlookers saw the person, they immediately dispersed, Wu Song saw that it was none other than Gaolian's housekeeper, Hongfu who had just gone with him to see the shop, no wonder everyone dispersed, no one wanted to wade into troubled waters on Gaolian's affairs.
"Who wants to compensate your horse, what's the matter with me, it was your horse that kicked my bamboo basket, and the poisonous snake inside was frightened, so it bit it!" The man pushed Hong Fu away and turned around to leave.
Where did Hong Fu let him go, he rushed forward again, hugged him tightly, and scolded: "You dare to go, do you know who I am!"
"I don't care who you are, anyway, don't do my business, you must know that snakes generally don't take the initiative to bite people and animals, unless it is humans and animals to alarm it, as long as your horse doesn't mess with it, how can it bite your horse!"
"You are really an idiot, horses are naturally afraid of poisonous snakes, where is there no one who is not frightened when you see poisonous snakes!"
Wu Song heard Hong Fu's words, "Horses are naturally afraid of poisonous snakes", and suddenly blessed his heart, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Haha, this leopard's head mountain can be taken!"
"Hong Lao, don't worry about him, he is a person who is out of the house, where is the money to compensate your horse. Wu Song walked over, separated the two, and said to the man: "Man, I have something to discuss with you, if it is done, I will compensate for this horse for you!"
"Since there is Wudu Tou to speak for him, the old man will not be stingy with a horse, man, you are lucky, you have met the best person in Yanggu County!"
"Thank you for the good man, just now he called you the head of Wudu, could it be that you are Wu Song who fought tigers on Jingyang Gang?" the man saluted.
Wu Song immediately returned the salute and said, "I am Wu Song!"
"Oh, I have admired the name for a long time, my brother please accept the worship of my younger brother!" The man immediately knelt down and bowed, Wu Song helped him up, and said with a smile: "Why did my brother fall in Yanggu County?"
"The villain's name is Yang Shu, a southerner, it is false to say that he went to Tokyo to seek refuge with his relatives, but he just wants to beg for food, but this snake medicine is true, and it is okay to bite the snake, as for martial arts, spiders, it depends on the individual's creation!"
"Hahahaha! You guy!" Wu Song was very happy when he heard him say frankly, and he took his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the restaurant to drink a few bowls of wine, and then talk slowly!"
