Chapter 3 The name of the mountain is the golden toad
Among the mountain villages, there are three professions that are most respected: healer, blacksmith and hunter. And among them, the healer deservedly ranked first.
Not everyone can be a doctor, you must be familiar with medical books, distinguish pharmacology, acupuncture and moxibustion, bone correction and bone grafting, etc., of course, the first condition for becoming a doctor is: literacy.
Great Qin established the country with martial arts, emphasizing military force and light literature, so that there were very few literate people, even more so in the mountains and forests, most people couldn't even write their own names, and those hunters who had lived by hunting for generations were not afraid to see tigers and wolves, but if you want them to pick up a pen and write and paint, it is better to kill them.
There is such a doctor in Qinhu Village, surnamed Liu Zhili, who is also said to be the son of a large family back then, and his medical skills are quite high. When he was young, Dr. Liu broke his leg and walked with a limp, so people often called him lame Liu.
The lame Liu is incapacitated, and it is absolutely impossible to collect medicine, so every time the hunting team enters the mountain, they will bring some herbs back, the ordinary ones are okay, and those uncommon herbs are much more difficult.
However, in the past few years, he has not had such troubles, because he has accepted an apprentice, Qin Yu.
Qin Yu is thin and thin, extremely thin, ten years old, he is only eight or nine years old at first glance, this situation is impossible to become a clever hunter, Qin Yu himself does not like to dance with knives and guns, but is very interested in books, so he worships the lame Liu as a teacher.
The lame Liu is old and has no relatives, so if he returns to heaven one day, his medical skills will be lost. In addition, he really needed a medicine boy by his side, so he agreed. Who knew that this teaching didn't matter, the lame man Liu was surprised to find that Qin Yu's head was surprisingly good, which was unforgettable. That room of books was rotted in just one year.
Most of his books are medical books, and Qin Yu has really practiced some skills in the past few years, and he can be regarded as inheriting his mantle. What's even more rare is that in his previous life, he liked rock climbing, and now he hasn't fallen at all, so he will take care of the medicine collection by himself.
With such a well-behaved and capable disciple, Liu Zhili can wake up with a smile in his dreams.
Behind the Golden Toad Mountain, the mountain cliff rises, the clouds and mist are shrouded between the lofty mountains and mountains, and there are flocks of hidden birds passing by. On the cliff, Qin Yu hung on one leg on a branch that grew on the cliff, standing tall and cutting a herb growing on the cliff.
On the top of the cliff, Rhubarb lowered his head and looked at the little master below, whining, and he didn't know whether he was worried or how.
The cut herbs were thrown into the cloth bag around his waist, turned over and sat on the branches, and climbed up neatly against the cliff wall, appearing on the top of the cliff in three times and two times.
Rhubarb happily jumped around him, Qin Yu laughed, patted its head, turned over and rode on its body, Rhubarb was very smart, and ran to the next hill without the guidance of the little master.
The terrain of Jinchan Mountain is precipitous, there are 17 peaks, the highest one is more than 1,000 zhang, the snow does not melt all year round, the high snow line can be seen when the weather is clear, the ice and snow melt to form a mountain spring that winds down, and has become the survival of the villagers.
People in the mountains, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, the mountains and rivers of Jinchan Mountain have it, and it is also a great blessing in this poor and remote land. At the beginning, Qin Hu's ancestors saw this and established a village here. It is said that this mountain was originally not called Jin Toad Mountain, but later someone saw the huge golden toad phantom, such as the god of heaven descended to earth, and thought that it was the golden toad manifestation, auspicious omen, hence the name.
Regarding this rumor, Qin Yu felt that it was probably a mirage or something, because the Golden Toad Mountain was very high, and standing on the mountain and looking at the clouds and mist, it really had a bit of a fairyland color.
On the lookout platform, Qin Yu and Rhubarb sat here quietly, looking at the looming mountains in front of them, and the shadows of birds occasionally passed by in the clouds, leaving a few crisp birdsong echoing in the mountain stream.
Qin Yu sat here, his thoughts had already flown far away, it was the place where the Qin family's ancestors had lived for generations, and most of the women in the village would never be able to leave this mountain village for the rest of their lives. Qin Yushu read more, and his thoughts were different, and he really wanted to go out one day.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of gongs in the distance, and Qin Yu looked back to see a group of children standing in a neat queue on the mountainside.
"Oh, it's so late, Rhubarb, let's go!"
Rhubarb screamed, carrying Qin Yu down the mountain, rhubarb wandered in the mountains and forests all the year round, going up and down the mountain as if walking on flat ground, and ran over most of the mountain in a moment.
Qin State is still martial, this is the martial arts arena of Qinhu Village, representing the future of Qinhu Village.
When Qin Yu came here, everyone had already assembled, and a sturdy young man in the crowd winked at him, this person was Qin Yu's cousin Qin Feihu.
Qin Yu walked over with a hard head, and there were two people in charge of teaching the children, one was his fourth uncle Qin Liang, and the other was his fifth uncle Qin Meng.
Qin Meng saw Qin Yu, his face was gloomy, and before he could speak, Qin Liang's voice on the side had already sounded......
"You're late. Kick a hundred times!"
"It's not a big deal, the flying tiger is going to leave today, so it's free, right?" Qin Meng said with a smile.
Qin Yu's heart was suddenly overjoyed, and Qin Liang continued to say: "If you do something wrong, you will be punished, there is no reason, if they can't even do this, then they are not qualified to become hunters." ”
Suppressing people with power is Qin Liang's usual practice, no matter what happens in his mouth, the impact seems to be infinitely magnified.
Qin Yu sighed helplessly, drooped his head and walked under the big tree alone, stood upside down and kicked his legs upward, counting out loud while kicking.
These are his two uncles, when the seven Qin Fang brothers served together, only four came back ten years later, and Qin Yu's uncle, third uncle and seventh uncle all died outside.
The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle are the two most accomplished of all the brothers, both are masters of internal strength, and they are skilled, and in terms of martial arts alone, these two people are the first and second people in Qinhu Village.
"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine...... One hundred!"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Yu fell down directly, lying on the ground snorting and panting, his arms were already trembling with tiredness.
The brain was a little confused because of the qi and blood, and I vaguely saw a person walking over.
"No!
Qin Yu looked at it, it was a ripe fruit, and its bright red appearance was mouth-watering.
"Huh, where did you get it?" Qin Yu turned over and sat on the ground, not politely, took the fruit and took a big bite.
"Last time I went out hunting, I secretly hid a few, and I specially kept them for you, how about it!
The person in front of him was Qin Yu's cousin, the only bloodline of the uncle he had never met, Qin Feihu. The two of the old Qin family's generation are of similar age, and the brothers have played together since they were young, and they are not far behind their own brothers.
Qin Feihu was only two years older than Qin Yu, but he was a head taller than him, and at the age of twelve, his body was already comparable to that of an adult. Only a few green mustaches on his lips reveal that he is still a child.
However, no one in Qinhu Village really regarded him as a child, although he was young, he was already one of the best in the village, and he was only twelve years old and had developed his internal strength!
In this regard, Qin Yu is very envious in his heart, internal strength is a hurdle, more than ninety percent of people who practice martial arts will not be able to practice it in a lifetime, Qin Feihu can cultivate internal strength at the age of twelve, and the great potential can be seen. Of course, the reason why Qin Feihu has such great achievements is also because he has experienced life and death. A few months ago, the hunting team went into the mountains to hunt, and encountered a giant python two zhang long, and the hunting team of ten people was killed by the giant python, and five people were injured. As soon as he heard Qin Feihu's name, everyone didn't give a thumbs up.
"Qin Feihu of Golden Toad Mountain, young hero!"
Today is Qin Feihu's last training, he has been absorbed by Long Wuwei, the famous border army of Great Qin, and he will go to Dangyang City to report today.
Thinking of this, Qin Yu's heart couldn't help but feel sour.
"Flying Tiger, I'm afraid it will take many years to come back, the army is no better than the village, and there is a danger to life at all times, you have to be careful!"
"Don't worry, I'll save it! It's you, I hope you'll be a great healer when you come back!"
The two brothers were talking and laughing, and a group of younger children gathered around.
"Brother Flying Tiger, can you be a general?" said a childish voice.
Qin Feihu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "What is a general, I will be a general in the future!"
"Wow, general, will you not come back when you become a general? My mother said that many people in other villages will not go back after leaving. ”
"Of course not, when I become a general, I will drive out the other villages on Jinchan Mountain, and then build a city wall at the foot of the mountain to enclose the entire Jinchan Mountain, then we will not be a small village, but a big tribe!"
"Wow, aren't we the same as Shenshui Peak?"
"Definitely! haha......"
The children chattered excitedly, Qin Yu shook his head and smiled, Qin Feihu grew up here, his vision is limited, and in the eyes of a real general, Shenshui Feng is a fart.
"Haha! Ambitious! Feihu, I've been letting you train alone for the past few months, because you've just generated internal strength, and I want you to explore alone, now ...... It's time to test the results. ”
Qin Liang took a spear in his hand, and pointed the head of the spear at Qin Feihu.
Qin Feihu looked at Qin Liang in amazement, making sure that he was not joking, muttered for a moment, picked up a gun, and pulled a beautiful gun flower in his hand. I took a deep breath with my eyes closed.
His eyes opened suddenly, and Qin Yu found that his eyes had become extremely cold-blooded at this moment, emitting a beast-like light.
The spear in his hand was like a long snake, Qin Feihu stepped seven steps in a row, each step was a move, seven moves in a row, and the head of the spear was shot at various unimaginable angles, which was dizzying.
Qin Liang retreated in a row, avoiding the edge for the time being. Seven steps later, he suddenly shouted loudly and fired a backhand, opening the prelude to a counterattack.
The two spears were like two swimming dragons, flying up and down, and every time they touched it, they burst out with sparks, and everyone held their breath and watched quietly.
After forty or fifty rounds, Qin Feihu gradually showed his declining momentum, his internal strength was extremely heavy on his body, his body was not as strong as Qin Liang, and his internal strength was not strong enough, so he naturally lost.
Qin Yu pursed his lips, these two people had completely fought for a while, and their momentum was strong, but in fact, they had simply squandered a lot of strength. He had seen the two fight many times in private, and the momentum was less than one compared to today, one move was unpretentious, but it was a fatal move.
However, looking at the adoring eyes of the other children, Qin Yu suddenly realized that this was inspiring the next generation.
"Yes, originally I thought you could survive thirty rounds, but now I am also relieved, Flying Tiger, the army is not as proficient as the village, archery and horse riding, remember, you still have a long, long way to go!"
"Yes! I remember!"
"Let's go!"
When Qin Feihu left, one hundred and ten villagers stood at the entrance of the village to see him off, very quiet.
The elders of the Qin family stepped forward one by one to supervise a few words, Qin Feihu just nodded, Qin Fang was holding a knife in his hand, and this knife was the masterpiece he had just completed.
"Feihu, the second uncle has nothing to give you, you can take this knife, don't look good, it's better than the standard knife of the border army." ”
"Hey, can I still worry about your craft?"
Qin Fang knew that his son and Feihu had been good since childhood, leaving the brothers alone time.
"Go all the way!" is related, but there is nothing to say when they are separated.
"Well, do you remember the secret place where we played? I left something for you, and you can pick it up when I leave!"
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask him what it was, but he had already waved his hand to everyone and left.
Everyone watched his back fade away until it disappeared from sight.
Qinhu Village is as calm as ever, ordinary villages, ordinary people, living ordinary days.
