Chapter 44: The Black Panther and the Boy (34)
The mountains near Zhaojiazhuang are all more than 100 meters above sea level, and the highest is more than 1,000 meters.
It is said that there were originally large areas of wild tea trees on these mountains, which were later cultivated to form large-scale tea mountains.
The back mountain of Zhaojiazhuang is probably the shortest of them, only about 100 meters, and it is only used by villagers to cut firewood or plant some fruit trees on weekdays.
But if there is a flood in the future, Houshan is the nearest and safest highland.
Therefore, through the efforts of generations of Zhaojiazhuang villagers, a large cave that can accommodate more than 100 people was dug on the top of Houshan Mountain.
Every year, the village chief and the elders of the village will come to check and replace the new grain, so that the flood can not bring the grain up the mountain in time to cope with a mouthful.
There is even a mountain spring that comes out of nowhere in the cave, which can fully bear everyone's drinking water.
Because of the recent rain, the experienced village chief discussed with the clan elders, and as early as a month ago, he asked each household in the village to set aside a month's rations, and the rest of the grain was sent to the cave in advance.
Therefore, the people who had recovered their minds went into the cave under the organization of the old village chief, and after lighting the reserved torches and fires, several women took out the iron pots on their backs and began to boil water.
While the others changed their clothes in batches, the grass mats in the cave were beaten and beaten to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, and laid out for the elderly, children, and pregnant women to sit first.
Because the road up the mountain has been trimmed, horse-drawn carts and ox-carts can come up, so now in the cave, in addition to willow running, there are two oxen, a donkey and a big green mule.
The rest of the carts were forgotten, but Liu Kongqing's carriage was carried into the cave by everyone.
At this time, Liu Kongqing went to the carriage and took out two pottery medicine pots for boiling medicine, and opened a small drawer under the carriage, which was full of all kinds of concocted medicinal materials.
Because they were not familiar with him, everyone didn't dare to ask when they saw him asking for water and medicine, only the old village chief and Liu Kongqing walked over with crutches on their backs.
"Doctor Liu, what kind of medicine are you going to boil?" the old village chief is really grateful to Liu Kongqing now.
Not to mention how respectful the status of people as doctors, just talk about their mannerisms and conversations, at first glance, they are not from an ordinary background.
But they insisted on giving up the carriage to the people in the village who needed it more, and they also carried an old man in the village on their backs to share their weal and woe.
I don't know how to repay this favor alone.
And the old village chief didn't forget that before he heard the ringing of the Zhenhong bell, Doctor Liu and his cat had already determined that the "flood had erupted".
This looks like a person with great ability, and even the pets he raises are so spiritual.
If the old village chief still had a little bit of the meaning of the elders looking at the younger generations, now his attitude has become a little more respectful.
Liu Kongqing naturally felt this change, but how others had their attitudes was someone else's business, and he just stuck to his heart.
Therefore, as he said modestly and politely before: "One dose is Xingsusan for the treatment of external wind and cold, and the other dose is for children and the elderly to calm the nerves."
After a while, I asked the old village chief to find someone to look at the medicine pot, and I went to check the pulse of a few pregnant women to see if they needed to drink fetal medicine. ”
When everyone in Zhaojiazhuang saw that this bell doctor who was just a young man, he didn't even have time to change his wet clothes, but first thought about boiling medicine for everyone and diagnosing his pulse, and the gratitude in his heart really didn't know what to say.
The old village chief held his hand and almost choked up, "We have met a noble person, Doctor Liu, the old man really doesn't know how to thank you." ”
Liu Kongqing showed a hearty smile: "Didn't you always say that when the uncles and brothers at home come back, they will invite me to eat fragrant tea duck."
I'm a person, in addition to medical skills, it's delicious, and for the fragrant tea duck you always promised, I also have to show real skills. ”
As soon as they heard this, the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law were not easy to talk to, but the others were interested.
The one who said that the village chief's house would go to her house after eating, and her stewed rabbit was a must.
This one said that they have a lot of delicious food, and the fragrant tea duck has eaten enough, as well as rice fish and soil chicken.
Another eleven or twelve kid said that he was a little expert at catching snakes, stir-fried snake segments, that fragrant yo.
In short, even if the conditions are limited, he can make one hundred and eight dishes for Dr. Liu.
In order to avoid the bear child, Changsheng, who was squatting on Liu Kongqing's shoulder, sucked his saliva.
Calm and calm, this is just another proof that there is meat to eat with children.
It was a big mistake that I decided to go to the palace or find a rich and noble family to live on!
Sure enough, being a kind leopard will be rewarded!
Good leopard = good reward, no problem!
Liu Kongqing tilted his head and glanced at the immortal who couldn't come up in the ditch with a big cake painted by Zhaojiazhuang's gang, and he really couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
Why do you love it so much!
But thinking that he only used a small piece of hard cake to expose his ability to save this squeamish bag in order to save him, Liu Kongqing's heart was like putting a small piece of coal, hot and baked.
It's a pity that Changsheng, this little bastard, doesn't know if she was born with stunted growth, why is she different from what she said in the drawing book.
When he grew up, Liu Kongqing finally understood the story of the fairy and the scholar that the nurse told him when he was a child.
He really met a little goblin, but unfortunately, she couldn't become a beauty, and she couldn't even transform into a human form.
But...... That's fine.
The demon fairy and the scholar in the painting book have been happy all their lives, but he always remembers that the nurse said that the short decades were exchanged for the fairy by his own immortality.
If his immortality gives up immortal immortal immortality......
Liu Kongqing subconsciously covered his chest that was a little sour and painful: No, he is not allowed.
Because I can't help it!
And at this moment, Changsheng, who is still fantasizing about a game feast, has not noticed the hearts of the children around him.
......
It rained heavily all night, and everyone in the cave tossed and turned all night, except for children, pregnant women, and elderly people who drank the soothing soup.
Fortunately, in the second half of the night, the torrential rain finally stopped, and when the sky was white, the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang, who had been worried all night, ran out of the cave and stood on the top of the mountain to look down.
I saw that the flood had completely submerged the village, and there was no sign of receding at all.
The raging flood was mixed with broken branches and stones rushing out of the front of the mountain, mixed with the carcasses of wild animals and even humans.
Seeing this scene, the mother quickly covered the eyes of the young child.
Changsheng shook the tips of his ears and recited to the child: "I heard the cry for help, and the situation doesn't seem to be very good, it's the mountain with cooking smoke in the north." ”
Liu Kongqing looked over there, only to see the smoke curling, very obvious, he seemed to inadvertently point over there and asked, "Old village chief, is there a village over there?"
The old village chief of Zhao Tian glanced at it and said: "It is Wujia Village, named because only five families settled in the past, and our two villages are neighbors.
Like our village, it is a medium-sized village, with about 200 people, but all the strong laborers have built the dam. ”
Speaking of this, the old village chief frowned, and at a glance he knew that it was for those people who had not yet heard from him.
Liu Kongqing thought for a while and said, "Old village chief, I have to go over there and have a look." ”
