Chapter 18: Wounded Wolves

Dong Ce still remembers that two years ago, it was the fifth year of Chongzhen, the epidemic in Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, Yan'an Town and other places, and many people really died, and he was also lucky not to be infected and survived the catastrophe.

He frowned and asked, "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Erya glanced at him and said with some sneer: "Madame doesn't allow us to say it, if you weren't the master now, I wouldn't say it." ”

Dong Ce sighed softly. He understood what Red Sleeves thought at that time, this kind of thing is the best way to keep it secret, if you let others know that you can cure this disease, there are countless people who come to seek medical treatment, can you cure it? Those who don't have the money to buy medicine, are you cured or not? Do you empty your own family property to treat them or watch them die of illness and then be scolded for the rest of your life? If those powerful dignitaries and nobles drink medicine and are useless, won't they be angry with you?

In short, there is a lot of trouble. Although Wei Hongsleeve has a weak temperament, he can still see clearly in major matters and take the idea.

Erya said again: "Now there are still some gold sore medicines for external injuries at home, it turns out that Shi Jin and their thieves who are used to causing trouble, every time they fight with people, they go to the house to ask for medicine." ”

Dong Ce nodded silently.

When I returned home, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Wei Hongsleeves and the eldest girl coming up, and Hongsleeves couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said, "Master, I heard that you have become an official?" ”

Looking at the novels "One", "Ben" and "Reading", she was really happy from the bottom of her heart, Dong Ce smiled slightly, and gently pinched her face: "The first chief of An Xiangdun, you are well-informed." ”

was so intimate in front of the eldest girl and the second girl, Red Sleeves was obviously a little unaccustomed, her pretty face was a little red, and she lowered her head and said softly: "Now that it has spread throughout the castle, where is there anything I don't know?" Congratulations to the concubine. ”

Dong Ce smiled slightly: "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”

When I entered the backyard, I saw that the table had been set up, and it was already full. A scrambled egg with green onions, a fried eggplant, a fried wild vegetables, and a whole smoked chicken, and a pot of wine next to it.

Dong Ce has already asked Erya during the day today, it turns out that yesterday's meal is also very rare, it is red sleeves, it is just pickled vegetables and steamed buns in Su Ri, millet porridge, rare eggs and meat, yesterday's meal was also to cater to him, for fear that he would be dissatisfied. Today, there is wine and meat, and it is really rare and abundant.

Red Sleeves said with a smile: "The master is an official, congratulations, the concubine specially ordered them to cook a few more dishes to congratulate the master." ”

The meat is very delicious, and the craftsmanship of the production is also very good, and the taste is completely incomparable to those very fat fast-growing chickens that can grow in a few months in later generations.

The wine is made by the farmer himself, and the taste is very mellow, Dong Ce smacked it, at least it was a high degree wine above fifty-five degrees, and he had a good amount of wine, but he didn't dare to drink more.

The two were eating in the shade of the tree, Dong Ce was holding vegetables for the red sleeves from time to time, the two looked at each other and smiled, whispering these private words, and the meal was warm and sweet.

After eating, Dong Ce asked Red Sleeves for gold sore medicine, and learned that there was indeed a new one, but due to the lack of raw materials, there has been no new one these days, only enough for three or four people.

"Three or four people's portions are enough." Dong Ce thought for a moment and asked, "If there are herbs, how long will it take you to dispense the gold sore medicine?" ”

Red sleeves said: "It will take at least half a month, and the herbs must be dried, then ground into powder, and then prepared, which is very troublesome." ”

Dong Ce nodded and said curiously, "How do you know how to heal?" ”

"This?" Red Sleeves hesitated a little, and Dong Ce smiled: "If you have something unspeakable, it's okay not to say it." ”

"Thank you, Master for understanding." After making sure that Dong Ce was not angry, Red Sleeves let out a long sigh of relief, and was very grateful in his heart.

Dong Ce waved his hand and went out with the bottle of gold sore medicine.

Now the sky was dark, the streets were empty, and the wind mixed with dust swirled around the small city, blowing people's clothes, and walking on the street, adding to the feeling of desolation and withering.

The sound of the watch came from far and near, and the husband saw the figure coming out of the corner in front of him, so he wanted to scold, and after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, he swallowed the scolding that had already reached his mouth, and changed his face to a thick smile, and said: "Dong Tou'er, where are you going?" Be careful when walking at night. ”

Dong Ce smiled faintly: "Wander around casually." ”

"Wandering around?" The husband waited for Dong Ce to go away, looked at his back and scratched his head, occupying the beautiful mother-in-law who we could count in ten miles, not tossing on the bed at night, and still having the leisure to go out for a stroll?

"This is it, isn't it?"

This is a house in the north of Shilipu, the location is very remote, there are no people around, the house is also very dilapidated, the courtyard wall is only less than half of the chest high, the black wooden door has two big gaps, but it is tightly closed. Dong Ce pushed the door but didn't push it, he simply ran up, kicked the door heavily, and the two wooden doors flew out together with the door frame, and fell heavily into the yard with a clanging sound.

The yard was empty, there was not even a bit of anything, a row of four houses, all of them were dilapidated adobe houses, there was an apricot tree planted in the corner of the yard, and under the tree was a skinny skinny dog, but it was very energetic, his eyes were fierce, his four paws pulled the ground, and he barked at Dong Ce with his eyes.

The easternmost room was still a little light, but it went out as soon as there was movement.

Dong Ce smiled slightly, walked to the door of the farthest east, looked up and down for a moment, his ears moved slightly, and suddenly he kicked the door fiercely, kicking the two broken doors away, and then took two steps back very quickly.

Sure enough, as he expected, there was a bright light at the door of the black hole, and a dagger stabbed over fiercely, this dagger was very rough, but the blade was sharp enough, the back was thick and hard enough, and it was shining blue in the night, if Dong Ce didn't hide just now, it was conceivable that this dagger must have been pierced in his chest.

And being poked by this dagger that is a bit like a three-edged military stab, the consequences can be imagined.

A person rushed out of the door, and fell heavily to the ground, he was tall and stout, ** upper body, wearing only a pair of nasal calf shorts, a blur of flesh and blood on his back, the skin, flesh and blood, seemed to be broken, sticking together, even the buttocks of the shorts, were also bloodstained.

He still stubbornly wanted to stand up, but after supporting his chest with his arms, he no longer had the strength, his face was up, and he looked at Dong Ce fiercely.

This person is Shi Jin.

It's just that the arrogant man two days ago has become like a sick cat at this time, his face is pale, the cold sweat on his forehead is puffing, his body is covered with dust, and the two hideous black snakes pierced in his chest have been covered with dust and look embarrassed. It's just that his eyes are still fierce and unwilling, like a wolf with a broken leg.

He looked at Dong Ce fixedly, laughed miserably, gasped a few heavily, and said with a miserable face: "Sure enough, it's you, Dong Er, are you going to take my life?" ”

It seemed that all the strength of his body had been exhausted by that blow, and he forced himself to say these few words, and his face was as pale as paper.

Dong Ce smiled slightly: "Shi Jin, you are very good, you have reached such a situation, you can still have the blow just now, it is stable and ruthless, full of strength, if you change to someone else, I am afraid that you have been stabbed to death!" ”

Shi Jin smiled: "If you want to kill me, don't you allow me to pull one to fight for your life?" ”

He closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Come on! Lao Tzu knew that he would have this day sooner or later. ”

Dong Ce shook his head: "I'm not here to kill you. ”

"Don't you want to kill me?" Shi Jin's eyes widened, like a copper bell, and suddenly sneered: "If you want to kill, you will kill, why insult me?" It's not here to kill me, is it difficult or can't it be that you're here to treat me? ”

Dong Ce laughed: "You're really right." ”

After that, he shouted at the other room: "Wang Hun, get out, let me invite you?" ”

A stocky figure limped out of the next room, it was Wang Hun, and he said in a loud voice: "How do you know it's me?" ”

Dong Ce laughed: "What else to guess? ”

He pointed to the door, "Let's go inside." ”

Wang Hun Shijin didn't know what his idea was, but he also knew that he definitely didn't come to kill his brothers, otherwise, why bother? Wang Hun was greedy for Shi Jin, and the two limped in, followed by Dong Ce.

The house was not much stronger than the kennel he had lived in, dirty and dark, and it exuded a strong smell, like the smell of feet, blood, and the dampness of the years, mixed together, and hit people's nasal cavities.

There was also a stove outside, a pile of firewood piled up in the corner, and a small square table with a lame leg on top of a clay kang in the inner room, and a large cloud of ochre-red dried blood on the futon next to it, which was shocking.

Dong Ce took out the bottle of gold sore medicine from his sleeve pocket and put it on the table, and said, "What do you see here?" ”

The eyes of the two of them suddenly lit up, and Shi Jin looked at him and hesitated: "This is Madame's ......"

Then he shut up and didn't say anything, obviously for fear that mentioning Sun Ruhu would displease Dong Ce.

"That's right, I got the gold sore medicine from Red Sleeves, it's enough for four people, and your two wounds are bigger, so it's enough."

The two of them still have a lot of respect for Wei Hongsleeve, and when they heard Dong Ce call her so intimate, they also guessed seven or eight points.

Without waiting for them to speak, Dong Ce took out a large piece of white cloth from his arms, as well as a bottle of old burning that he had just not drunk, and said: "This is a strong wine, use this to clean the wound, then burn the knife red, cut off the festering meat, apply gold sore medicine, and then wrap the wound with a cloth boiled in hot water, and the injury can be stabilized." It won't fester, you clean up yourselves, I'll go out first. ”
