Chapter 370: Pimple Plague
The tiger died, it was poked in the belly by the wooden spear below when it fell into the trap, and it was punctured in more than one place, it was bleeding all the time. Xue Bingxin only needed to hold the long wooden spear and guard the trap to prevent it from crawling out, and it quickly lost too much blood and died.
Xue Bingxin poked the immobile tiger under the pit with a wooden spear, and after confirming that the tiger was indeed dead, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she could finally sleep peacefully tonight.
Xu Jin's buttocks were grabbed by the tiger, and at this moment Li Shizhen was bandaging him, first cleaning and disinfecting with boiling water, and then applying some raw herbs to bandage it, and the cloth used was still torn off Xue Bingxin's Hu suit, and it was boiled with boiling water before bandaging.
Fortunately, the tiger didn't jump high after being injured, Xu Jin's butt was only slightly scratched by the sharp tiger claws, if it jumped higher, Master Xu's pink ass would lose a piece of meat.
"My lord, your wound will heal in a few days, but it is estimated that there will be a scar." Li Shizhen was grateful and apologetic.
"Out of the way!" Xu Jin waved his hand, he didn't rely on his face, let alone rely on the face below, and it was naturally not tight to leave a little scar, but now the hot pain was unbearable, and the herbs picked by Xiao Lizi were obviously irritating.
Xue Bingxin waited for this side to finish, so she came over, and glanced at Xu Jin, who was lying on the thatched pile with her ass pouting, and wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Miss Xue can laugh if she wants to, and the official also knows that this posture is very indecent." Xu Jin said with a wry smile, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, fortunately Xue Bingxin reacted quickly just now, otherwise he and Li Shizhen would probably be in danger.
Xue Bingxin finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, instantly thawing like a spring breeze. Xu Jin seemed to see the pure smile like a blank cloud on the grassland again, and couldn't help laughing: "By the way, isn't it good to laugh like this?" Why bother to have an enmity with the whole world, always strained your face! ”
Xue Bingxin's face sank when she heard this, she regained her cold appearance, and said lightly: "You deserve it, you should have let the tiger eat you just now!" ”
Xu Jin was bored, so he had to honestly shut up and lie on his stomach. Li Shizhen obviously didn't want to talk to Xue Bingxin either, this young lady was too cold and not easy to get along with, so he sat silently and added firewood to the bonfire.
After a while, Xue Bingxin couldn't help but speak first, and she asked suspiciously: "Xu Jin, what did you do before, why did that tiger fall into the trap so quickly?" ”
Xue Bingxin has always called Xu Jin Lord Xu, but unconsciously changed her name to call him, maybe it is the young man in front of him who is not much different in age, and he really doesn't have the slightest official position.
Xu Jin's expression was a little strange, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you really want to know?" ”
Xue Bingxin faintly felt that Xu Jin's expression was suffocated, but she was really curious about what method the other party used to lead the tiger into the trap, and nodded: "You speak!" ”
Xu Jin said calmly: "It's very simple, cough...... I just on the trap in front of the tiger, and it felt offended by the tiger, so it ...... You know! ”
Xue Bingxin was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red, and Li Shizhen's kid laughed heartily.
"Phew, you...... Dirty! Xue Bingxin took a sip and stood up and walked away, in the dark, her cheeks were like fire, and she secretly scolded someone shamelessly in her heart, no wonder she saw his strange movements from a distance at that time, it turned out to be ...... Bah!
Xu Jin shrugged his shoulders speechlessly, this is the end of telling the truth to women.
……
The next day, half of the flood water receded, and the road under the hill was faintly visible, and most of it was still submerged in water.
After another day, the water level finally receded into the original river, and Xu Jin and the three of them stepped on the muddy water and carefully descended the hill. Xue Bingxin was also holding three wild deer lassoed with ropes, while Li Shizhen was holding a stick behind to help drive them away. These three wild deer will be their ration for the next few days, and it will be difficult to find a grain of food on the ground after the floods.
Although the raw herbs picked by Li Shizhen are irritating, the effect is obvious, just two days, Xu Jin's buttocks don't hurt much, and there is no need to apply medicine, as long as the movement is not too big, there is no obstacle to walking.
Xu Jin didn't know where he was at the moment, so the top priority was to find someone to ask for directions, and then rush to the nearest city, so that his status as a minister could work.
The three of them drove the deer on a muddy dirt road for several hours, and finally came to a small village around noon.
The small village in front of us is not large, estimated to be only about a dozen households, the village is full of mud, the walls still have traces of flooding, and it is clear that it has also suffered from flooding, but fortunately most of the houses have not collapsed.
The arrival of Xu Jin and the three of them instantly attracted the attention of the villagers, and seven or eight village men gathered around them silently with farm tools, staring directly at the three wild deer, and some women and children stood in the distance to watch, with the word "hunger" clearly written on their faces.
Xu Jin couldn't help frowning his sword brows, and asked, "This official is sent by order, may I ask what kind of place is this?" ”
As if they hadn't heard, and they were getting closer and closer, Xue Bingxin handed the rope to Li Shizhen, and then greeted the group of villagers, only to see her two long legs kicked and swept away, and before the tea was ready, the seven or eight armed villagers were knocked to the ground, covering some parts of their bodies and moaning in pain.
Xue Bingxin undoubtedly has a good martial arts, but being able to clean up seven or eight village men so easily is probably because these village men are so hungry that they don't have the strength.
Xu Jin shouted sternly: "This official will say again, I am on the orders of the Qincha, and attacking the Qincha is a capital crime, and I can behead you now." ”
Xue Guard was also very face-saving, and pulled out the embroidered spring knife very cooperatively. Those village men finally changed their faces, got up and kowtowed, and said: "Lord Qincha spares his life, and the grass people are also faint from hunger for a while, Lord Qincha spares his life!" ”
"Lord Chincha, please give me something to eat, we haven't eaten for two days!" A village woman holding a baby fell to her knees in the muddy water and pleaded.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen ragged women and children also ran out of the corner and knelt down in front of Xu Jin and others, including several children who looked to be only two or three years old.
Xue Bingxin and Li Shizhen's eyes couldn't help but look at Xu Jin, Xu Jin sighed secretly and said, "Kill a deer!" ”
When the villagers heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and one of the villagers boldly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the grass man is a pig slaughterer, and he has all the tools at home, so go to my house and kill the deer." ”
Xu Jin glanced at this person, nodded and said, "What's your name?" What is this place? ”
The village man replied: "The grass people are called Tang San, and everyone else is called the grass people soup pig knife, this is Ji'an Village, Caozhou." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but be slightly surprised, this flood actually washed himself from Puzhou to Caozhou, almost a hundred kilometers.
At present, there are less than 30 women and children left in Ji'an Village, and Xu Jin gathered all these people, some of whom are responsible for cleaning and cleaning the village, and some of them go out to pick wild vegetables that can satisfy hunger.
Tang San is worthy of being a professional pig killer, and he is also a good hand at killing deer, as soon as the knife goes down, the wild deer will have his throat blood vessels cut off, and all the deer blood will go into the basin, and nothing will be wasted.
Several village women cleaned all the internal organs and intestines of the wild deer, and then boiled several large pots mixed with wild vegetables, deer blood, wild taro, etc., enough for nearly 30 people in the village to get a bowl, and the venison was carefully hung up and saved for the next meal.
In the aftermath of a catastrophe, every grain of food is precious, and these villagers clearly understand the importance of saving, and the food rations saved can save lives at critical moments.
"Tang San, how far is it from Caozhou City?" Xu Jin asked while drinking the deer soup like water, he had to rush to the county seat as soon as possible, and then find a way to transport food for disaster relief, otherwise these affected people would not last long.
"Oh...... There are probably thirty or forty miles, but the roads have been washed away by the flood, and it is estimated that it will take half a day to walk to the county seat, and we are also hungry and have no strength, or we would have gone to the county seat to make a living. Tang San puffed out his cheeks and replied, there was more meat in this bowl than anyone else.
At this moment, a young village man who was squatting in the corner and gobbling up suddenly stiffened, rolled his eyes and fell straight back, and the remaining soup and wild vegetables in the bowl were all clasped on his face.
"Ah, the three pillars are choking!" Some villagers screamed.
Xue Bingxin and Li Shizhen hurriedly put down the bowl and ran over to rescue, while some villagers next to them rushed to pick up the wild vegetables and deer offal that fell on the ground to eat, and some even licked them directly on the face of the three pillars.
Li Shizhen shouted angrily: "Get out of the way, the patient is going to die!" ”
Xue Bingxin simply flew up a few feet and kicked the disgusting villagers who licked their faces, Li Shizhen was about to lift the three pillars that rolled his eyes, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a red pimple on his neck, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and blurted out: "It's not good, it's a pimple plague!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xue Bingxin's pretty face turned white instantly, and she subconsciously took a few steps back to the side, and the villagers who licked their faces froze as if they were possessed by ghosts, and then slashed their throats with their fingers, obviously spitting out what they had just eaten......
