50. Mourning is everywhere
Stopping to rest again and hastily eating some food on the stream, Liu Qi checked the condition of the wounded again, and the other wounded were all improving, only Gao Teng, who was the most seriously injured, had a high fever, and his breath became weaker and weaker.
Liu Qi was anxious, but the lack of medicinal materials made him helpless at the moment.
Gan Ning called Xu Chen and said, "Your village should be nearby, take us over." ”
A trace of hesitation flashed in Xu Chen's eyes, and he replied: "Yes, it will be more than ten miles to the east, but the thieves have already looted the villain's village, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find any medicine and food." ”
Gan Ning said lightly: "It's okay, just lead the way." ”
Along the way, Gan Ning seemed to be guarding against Xu Chen, as soon as Xu Chen approached Liu Qi, he immediately stared at Xu Chen vigilantly.
Xingba was also too cautious, Liu Qi thought disappreciatively, he saw them fighting with the thieves with his own eyes last night, and several hunters died with the thieves, he checked it with his own hands, and it was absolutely true.
Soon arrived at Xu Chen's village, the tragic scene in front of him made Gan Ning, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, a little unable to suppress his anger, about forty or fifty small villages, there were villagers who died tragically outside every house, the women were naked, obviously they had been humiliated before they died, and the thieves did not even let go of the old man and children!
Xu Chen knelt on the ground and cried, Liu Qi shouted angrily and pulled out a shocking flood to slash at the bamboo forest around him, and even cut a large piece could not calm the anger in his heart, and he only trembled with anger.
Before last night, Liu Qi was still difficult to let go of the murder, Liu Qi thought that he had completely seen it after the Yellow Turban thieves attacked the Taishou Mansion in Jiangzhou, but he didn't expect that the battle to encircle and annihilate Xu Xibu once again proved that Liu Qi's heart was still not strong enough, especially the face-to-face killing with his own hands, Liu Qi was extremely afraid and resistant in his heart, shooting people dozens of meters away with a bow and arrow and seeing the impact of the blood spraying from the throat that was cut is completely different.
Compared with the irrepressible fear and guilt after killing, Liu Qi is more afraid of the excitement and desire that comes from the depths of his heart when he kills the enemy, Liu Qi is very afraid that he will become a tyrannical and bloodthirsty demon, so he has always only shot when he is forced to helpless.
But now, for the first time, Liu Qi had the idea of taking the initiative to kill, and this thought was extremely strong, and he couldn't immediately turn around and go back to avenge so many innocent people with those inhumane beasts!
Liu Qi only felt a scorching breath rushing to the top of his head, flowing all over his body, at the beginning, his body seemed to be full of strength driven by this hot current, and his exhaustion was swept away, and he could cut off four or five tough green bamboos with a single knife, but this breath kept surging to the limbs and hundreds of remains, especially after surging on the top of his head, Liu Qi didn't know how to vent them.
"Dang!" A frightening bang was bounced away, and a tall bluestone lay in front of Liu Qi, Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then roared angrily and raised his knife to cut it with all his might.
"Click!"
The sparks splashed everywhere, and the bluestone was split in half, shocking everyone.
Even Gan Ning was amazed, this rock was extremely hard, and ordinary people could only cut a shallow mark with all their strength, and Gan Ning asked himself that even he couldn't easily split this rock.
"Ziyuan ......"
Gan Ning stepped forward to support Liu Qi, who was panting heavily, and wanted to persuade a few words, but he didn't know how to speak.
Liu Qi waved his hand weakly: "Brother Xingba, I'm just angry for a while, it's okay." ”
This terrifying knife finally gave Liu Qi a way to vent the strange power that kept gushing out of his body, and disappeared without a trace after a brain explosion, and the result was that he was sore and weak, and the Shocking Treasure Knife was stuck in the bluestone, and it took five or six people to find a way to pull it out, and it also collapsed a big hole, almost making Liu Qi feel distressed to death.
Seeing that Liu Qi had indeed returned to normal, Gan Ning turned his head and looked coldly at Xu Chen, who was crying bitterly on the ground, Xu Chen felt that when someone walked in front of him and raised his head, Xueliang's long knife was already on his neck.
Gan Ning asked sharply: "Hugh has to pretend again!" You are clearly in the same league as the thieves, what is the plan to attack us? Recruit you from the truth to give you a good time, if there is a half-sentence of falsehood that makes you beg for death, you can't beg for death! ”
"Xingba!" Liu Qi was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to look at Xu Chen carefully, but he couldn't see any flaws in Xu Chen after looking at it for a long time.
Xu Chen also shouted in shock: "The villain is wronged!" The villain is indeed here Orion! ”
Gan Ning sneered: "Okay, let me ask you, what is the name of this place, and how many families are there?" ”
Xu Chen's cold sweat flowed down, looking at the cold light in Gan Ning's eyes, he mustered up the courage to tremble slightly and pointed around with his raised hand and replied: "That mountain is called Bainiu Mountain, and our village is also called Bainiu Village, and there are sixty-one families in the village. ”
Gan Ning glanced at Guan Zhao and motioned to send someone to verify, and after a while, Guan Zhao ran back panting and said, "Xingba, it's indeed sixty-one households!" ”
"Oh?" Gan Ning furrowed his brows, stared at Xu Chen's eyes tightly, and after a while, he snorted coldly: "Get up, follow me!" ”
Guan Zhao took the knife and held it against Xu Chen's heart and confiscated his hunting knife, while Gan Ning walked around and looked around, rummaging through every house he came across, until he came to a house that was obviously a rich family and called everyone in.
Xu Chen's eyes rolled and he looked very nervous, and when he came to Gan Ning, Gan Ning asked, "What is the name of the owner of this family?" ”
"The master's name is Shen Peng, twenty-five years old, and his wife Ma"
Xu Chen's fluent answer finally dispelled Gan Ning's suspicions, and Gan Ning apologized: "The stakes are so important that you have to be cautious, and if you offend more, you will look forward to Haihan." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Xu Chen waved his hand again and again.
Liu Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly arranged for the wounded to rest, while he took a few people around to collect herbs, while Guan Zhao and others helped Xu Chen bury the villagers.
Liu Qi was worried that Gao Teng's condition had not improved for a long time, but in the eyes of others, Gao Teng's injury was so serious that it was a miracle that he could persist until now, and they all spoke out to comfort Liu Qi and praised him for his excellent medical skills.
In fact, Liu Qi also knew in his heart that under such a chaotic situation last night, he really couldn't do anything other than hurriedly apply some grass ash to the wounds of the wounded, and hastily wrapped the wounds, until he waited for a moment in the early morning to see the road clearly before picking some herbs for the wounded, according to his limited experience, Cheng Guan and Gao Teng's wounds should have been drained long ago, and he could only thank God for blessing him if he could hold on to this moment.
It wasn't until he found a hemispherical white mushroom that Liu Qi suddenly realized that these cute mushrooms in front of him are called Marbon mushrooms, which are medicinal materials with hemostatic effect in traditional Chinese medicine, and have certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capabilities, and can be eaten, and the taste is very delicious.
When they were in Langxi Village, the enthusiastic and simple villagers couldn't offer any decent food to entertain Liu Qi and them, so the young people in the village went into the mountains to hunt, while the women and the elderly went around collecting delicious wild fruits and mountain delicacies, including the Mabo mushroom, which the villagers called "monkey vegetables".
The taste of Ma Bo mushroom is very similar to the tofu of later generations, and everyone is full of praise and stutters a lot, and when the Yellow Turban Thief launched a surprise attack, it was only two hours before they finished eating, and it was the time when the Ma Bo mushroom in the stomach was the most effective, so Cheng Guan and Gao Teng inadvertently saved their lives with a delicious meal.
However, like other herbs that have the effect of stopping bleeding, Ma Bo mushroom can only accelerate the coagulation of platelets, and it is not enough for large wounds, especially bleeding caused by arterial blood vessel rupture.
Cheng Guan has a lot of battlefield experience, although there are many wounds on his body, none of them are fatal, so the situation is stable after stopping the bleeding, but Gao Teng's several wounds are much deeper, and the blood loss is more serious than Cheng Guan, plus the abdominal wound cannot be coarse, so the wound dragged on for a long time before it coagulated and began to infect.
If it is placed in the next life, Gao Teng can be immediately sent to the hospital for blood transfusion, and the wound can be healed in a month at most by cleaning the foreign body in the abdominal cavity and suturing the wound under sterile conditions, but the medical conditions of this era can be said to be helpless against such injuries.
In Bainiu Village, where he had collected enough medicinal herbs, Liu Kai used the needles and threads that had been boiled and sterilized to clean up the foreign bodies in Gao Teng's abdominal cavity as much as possible, and then cleaned the wound with anti-inflammatory and sterilizing liquid and sutured it, and waited for the miracle to continue after taking the decoction.
Liu Qi didn't eat anything all day, and when he cleaned Gao Teng's abdominal cavity, he opened the bloody wound, the red muscles, yellow fat, and the cyan intestines that wriggled from time to time made Liu Qi almost vomit, and until now, when he thinks of that scene, his chest still churns.
However, Liu Qi looked at Gao Teng, who was still feverish but had a significantly enhanced pulse, and felt better, and a miracle really appeared!
It can be regarded as a bittersweet end, and now everyone looks at Liu Qi, a young man who has just reached the crown, with heartfelt admiration, admiration for his medical skills, and admiration for his deep righteousness.
Liu Qi is very weak about the so-called clever medical skills, but Liu Qi feels that it is worth it for his impulsiveness, not only Gao Tan and his subordinates are dead set on him, but Gan Ning also treats him wholeheartedly, and even Guan Zhao, who has always been not very friendly, and the attitude of those scoundrels under him is also much closer.
Liu Qi looked down on these scoundrels, but after killing the enemy side by side last night, his impression of them has changed greatly, in fact, no matter what industry or person, they are all divided into three, six, nine and so on, during the conversation, Liu Qi learned that these people are not the kind of scum in the fish and meat township, but they are all rebellious and impulsive young people, there are women who drink and fight, but they have not really done anything evil, and even most of them have read books, and they are half intellectuals.
Young people worship Ganning Guan Zhao the most for martial arts and chivalrous and righteous figures, and Liu Qi has leveled Guan Zhao with a single illumination, with strong martial arts and righteousness, good background but no arrogance, and he has become a new idol in the eyes of everyone.
It takes a long time to build trust between people, especially the kind of trust that can be entrusted with life and death, many people can't get it in a lifetime, but last night's experience made everyone let go of all their hostility and wariness towards him, and they were willing to have fellowship with him.
Liu Qi's instinctive impulsive actions also inadvertently harvested a lot of valuable wealth for him.
Gao Teng's situation is not suitable for turbulence, so Gan Ning arranged for people to arrange guards around far away to ensure that if there are pursuers approaching, they can be warned in time.
