Chapter 43: Terror in a Snowy Night
"I don't know how to heal," Wu Dongfang stretched out his hand and grabbed the old man, "Don't rush back, since you're out, let's save the other few together." ”
"It's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't save so much," the old man continued to walk forward, "You have been here for too short, and slowly you will know that there will be deaths here every day, and you can't save so many people from exhaustion." ”
"It's idle to go back, by the way, by the way. Wu Dongfang didn't let go.
The old man didn't speak, he walked with his head bored, Wu Dongfang was afraid of tearing his clothes, and he didn't dare to pull him too hard, so he had to let go after walking more than ten meters.
Back in the room, the old man was lying on the bed again, and Wu Dongfang was sitting on the ground fiddling with the brazier.
"If you feel uncomfortable, cook some porridge and send it to the slaves. The old man took the initiative to speak.
Wu Dongfang originally wanted to do the same, but with the permission of the old man, he took the brace and put a clay pot on top of the brazier and began to cook porridge.
"If there is a strip of cloth hanging in front of the door, there are patients inside. The old man said to Wu Dongfang, who was carrying a clay pot out.
Half an hour later, Wu Dongfang came back, one of the five patients had eaten, and there were still four left, but he only sent out three porridge meals, one of the patients died, and there was half a bowl of sour gruel beside her, which was the breakfast she had not finished.
Back at the wooden house, Wu Dongfang lay down, he was in a very bad mood, and his mind was always haunted by the half bowl of sour gruel.
The old man didn't take the initiative to talk to him, at noon, it was snowing, Wu Dongfang walked out of the door and looked east, only to see a dense crowd of slaves working around the Dharma platform, and he could vaguely see that the stones used to move and repair the Dharma platform were being moved.
"Don't you call it a day when it's snowing?" asked Wu Dongfang.
"It was dark before it was done. The old man sat up, "It's time for us to get to work." ”
"What for?" Wu Dongfang turned and walked back, he was now desperate to do something for the slaves.
The old man pointed to the herbs stacked by the wall, "That's the herbs to stop bleeding, chop and grind them finely, and when they finish work, give them to them." ”
Wu Dongfang did this in the afternoon, there is a guillotine, first cut it, then crushed it with a medicine mill, and the medicine powder is stored in a jar.
After dark, the slaves returned, and in winter the skin and bones were particularly susceptible to injury, and the people who came to ask for medicine formed a long line, and the old man gave them some with a copper spoon, and the slaves caught it with their hands, or carefully carried it, or applied it to the wound on the spot.
After dark, it was the time for the two to work, and the lightly injured slave received the medicine powder and left, and there were those who injured the muscles and bones, and there was no anesthetic for the bones, but the old man was really clever in his means, and he could be picked up at one time, and the rest of the things would be handed over to Wu Dongfang, and if there was an external injury, he would be medicated, and if there was no trauma, he would be splinted directly, and if there was no splint, he would use a branch, and if he did not have a bandage, he would tear the strip of cloth.
They were busy until ten o'clock, when the last slave was carried away by their companions, and their work came to an end.
Then a slave came to return the sick card, five sick cards are not a lot, and the last one came was the girl without a tongue, who came with the thin woman on her back, and the two of them knelt down and kowtowed to the old man and Wu Dongfang, they had nothing to express their gratitude, only kneeling and kowtowing.
"Is the woman on her back her sister or mother?" Wu Dongfang looked at the girl's back.
"Why don't you understand anything?" said the old man's voice from under the bed.
"What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Most of the slaves had no relatives, and even if they did, they were not in the same place. The old man said.
"Tomorrow, if that woman doesn't have a wooden sign, will she still have to go to work?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The old man withdrew from under the bed with the wine jar, opened it and took a sip.
"Isn't it?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Don't ask. The old man shook his head.
Wu Dongfang guessed the answer, grabbed a wooden card and ran out, caught up with the girl who walked to the village, and stuffed the wooden card into her hand, "Take it, when her illness is cured, when will she return the wooden card." ”
The girl looked at Wu Dongfang, tears rolling in her eyes, Wu Dongfang nodded at her, and turned to leave before she cried.
When he returned to the hut, the old man had already re-hidden the wine jar, and was sitting on a stool scooping porridge with a spoon, and the blood stains on his hands from the bones and wounds had not yet been washed away.
"You've done something really stupid. The old man drank the porridge and did not look up.
"It's not enough anyway, saving one counts as one. Wu Dongfang said.
"You're only going to make her die faster. The old man said.
"Why?" Wu Dongfang asked puzzled.
"There's something you don't know, you've been with wizards before?" the old man diverted from the subject.
"What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"You're very skilled. The old man threw down the spoon.
"Why was that girl's tongue gone just now?" Wu Dongfang always thought about that little girl.
"The bite was cut off. The old man went to the bed and lay down.
"Who did you bite?" Wu Dongfang asked again.
"Ask her yourself. The old man yawned.
Wu Dongfang glared at the old man fiercely, the other party was a dumb person, how to ask.
The old man fell asleep quickly, Wu Dongfang couldn't sleep, and he crushed herbs overnight, since he couldn't fundamentally change the situation of the slaves, he could only do something for them within his ability.
"Stop, stop, stop, can you wait until tomorrow to cut?" the old man was woken up by Wu Dongfang.
"Who did she bite?" asked Wu Dongfang.
"Ask her. "The old man is not threatened.
"Click, click, click......"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"
An hour later, the old man finally couldn't hold it anymore, "I'm afraid of you, Litou wants to bully her, she bit off Litou's nose when she resists, and her tongue is gone." ”
"What kind of official is Litou?" Wu Dongfang asked, the old man's answer was similar to his guess, at this time, it was very common for men to bully women with their physical strength,
"What kind of official can a slave be. The old man yawned again.
"Was it a slave who cut out her tongue?!" Wu Dongfang was shocked, he thought that this thing was done by officers and soldiers, but he didn't expect it to be a slave at all.
"What's so strange about this, that you've grown so big that you've been locked up in a cave all the time?" said the old man.
Although he was ridiculed, Wu Dongfang still couldn't help but ask, "Don't the soldiers and the wizards of the Tu clan care?"
"As long as you are obedient, you will not be punished for what you do. The old man got up and drank water.
Wu Dongfang understood that soldiers and wizards were Japanese devils, and their leaders were lackeys and traitors, helping Japanese devils to oppress their compatriots.
"Why are you so interested in that female slave?" the old man tilted his head to look at Wu Dongfang, who was cutting herbs.
Wu Dongfang lowered his head and ignored him.
The old man went back to the bed and lay down, Wu Dongfang stopped what he was doing and lay down from the corner.
In the second half of the night, Wu Dongfang woke up from freezing, he had no bedding, and he was cold when he woke up.
There was no choice but to make a fire.
Lighting the firewood in the brazier, Wu Dongfang opened the door, and at this time the snow had stopped, and there was a dim moonlight outside.
He originally wanted to come out to pee, but when he opened the door, he found that there was a person standing more than ten meters in front of the door, this person was wearing slave clothes, with long hair, and it was a woman.
Seeing a woman, Wu Dongfang hurriedly buckled his belt, this person stood in the position where the slaves received the sick card, and he knew that he was here to receive the sick card without asking.
"Why did you come so early?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The woman in the snow stood still.
"It's too cold, you go back first, and come back when it's dawn." Wu Dongfang waved at the other party.
The woman still didn't move.
Wu Dongfang sighed and walked towards the woman, "Are you sick or injured?"
Descending the steps, Wu Dongfang was suspicious in his heart, he was close to one meter eight tall, and the woman in the snow was even taller than him, it was rare for a woman to be so tall at this time.
After walking a dozen steps, he stopped, the snow on the ground was more than half a foot thick, and he left a series of footprints in the snow as he walked, and there were not a single footprints around the woman.
When his gaze moved to the woman's feet, Wu Dongfang's hairs around his body stood up instantly, and the distance between the two sides was now less than five meters, and he could clearly see that this woman's feet were hanging in the air, and she was not stepping on the snow.
Looking at the face again, it was a seeping white, the eyes were hollow, the hands were weak and drooping, and the clothes on the body had no real folds, very hazy and empty.
Wu Dongfang immediately understood what he had encountered, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and escape, and after restraining the idea of escaping, he wanted to shout loudly, but the idea of shouting was also restrained by him, he did not run or shout, thanks to the cruel training of the special forces, looking directly at fear, facing fear, until overcoming fear.
"I know what you are, what are you doing here?" Wu Dongfang not only did not run, but took a step forward.
This step was very brave and very nervous, and all the muscles in the body were tensed at the same time, and the fists were clenched.
The woman, it should be said that it was a female ghost, still did not move, did not speak, and looked blankly in the direction of the wooden house.
"What do you want to do?" Wu Dongfang took another step, at this time he was closer to the female ghost, only three meters, and he could see the appearance of the female ghost more clearly, in her early thirties, square face, high cheekbones, and a black mole the size of a grain of rice under her nose.
Seeing the appearance of the female ghost clearly, Wu Dongfang remembered this person, this person came yesterday morning, it was a person, and she had a serious cough, but compared to other slaves, she could at least walk, so he didn't give her a wooden card.
"Are you blaming me for not giving you the wooden card?" Wu Dongfang took another big step, two meters, almost face to face with the female ghost.
The female ghost still stood still, did not speak, and was still looking at the door of the wooden house.
Only then did Wu Dongfang react, what this woman wanted to do most before she died was to come over and ask for a wooden card, and after her death, she came here in a state of confusion and did what she wanted to do most in her life.
Wu Dongfang slowly took a step back, he was still extremely nervous at this time, because he had never seen a ghost before, and he didn't know what terrible things the ghost would do.
Seeing that the female ghost didn't move, Wu Dongfang took another step back.
At that moment, he suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder.
He was already extremely nervous, and this time he was even more frightened, and he turned back in horror, but found that there was no one behind him, and turned his head in horror to find that the female ghost was floating towards him.
"Oops, my hair is standing on end. The old man's voice.
Wu Dongfang lowered his head when he heard this, and saw the old man standing on his right side, and then he realized that it was this old thing who patted him on the shoulder before, and the reason why he couldn't see people when he turned around was because the old man was a camel.
The old man was holding a wooden sign in his hand, and the female ghost floated over, took the wooden card in his hand, and turned around and drifted towards the wooden house.
"Hey, are you okay?" the old man pushed Wu Dongfang.
Wu Dongfang didn't move.
"Hey. The old man pushed again.
"I want to kick you to death. Wu Dongfang was relieved, he didn't let the female ghost scare to death, but he almost scared this old thing to death......
