Everyone was stunned by this scene: This woman was afraid that she was not seriously ill, but she actually stuffed a person into the cow's belly.
It is truly an unheard of and unprecedented miracle.
Madford's eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you sure you want to save someone?"
Everyone present looked at Chu Nanzhi up and down with weird expressions. They saw that this woman was quite pretty, but unfortunately she had a bad brain and was a lunatic. It was really pitiable.
Chu Nanzhi didn't want to pay attention to everyone's looks. She pretended to search all over her body, took out more than five taels of silver, and begged pitifully: "Old doctor, these five taels of silver and six hundred pieces of loose money belong to me."
All the expenses I brought are gone.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the pair of golden roosters on the ground, and then said: "I will also give this prey to the old doctor. I also ask the old man to lend me a room and give him some medicinal materials to stop bleeding. Let me give it to this doctor."
You heal your wounds."
Although Ma Defu and several villagers didn't know why she stuffed people into the cow's belly, the look in her eyes that was eager to save people couldn't be faked, and it didn't look like she wanted to harm people.
Moreover, the man was already dying, so there was no need to harm him anymore.
After careful consideration, the person who was stuffed into the tripe was also a handsome man. He must be married to the woman, and the old and ugly man next to her should be the woman's father or brother.
That's right.
Ma Defu looked at the two of them and made a rough guess about their origins and relationships. Then he took a closer look at this crazy woman and saw that she was not dressed like a wealthy family. She actually spent all her money to save a girl.
The dying man was very moved. He pushed the money back with sympathy and said seriously: "No need."
Li Ce watched all this quietly and was very puzzled. He felt that his sister-in-law should not only bring this little money when she went out to buy fish fry.
After listening to the old doctor's words, he was worried that the man didn't have enough money, so he quickly took some money from his tight pocket and handed it over: "I have a few more here, old doctor, keep it first. It's important to save people, it's not enough."
Let’s go back and think of ways to get it together.”
Ma Defu immediately waved his hand: "That's not what Laowan means. Laowan's medicine is just picked in the mountains and is not worth a few coins. My wife's own livelihood is big, so there is no need to give Laowan money. Whatever you need, you can just tell me."
"Thank you very much, senior."
Chu Nanzhi collected the money first.
The cow-killers had some evil thoughts at first, but they looked at these two people who were in great embarrassment. A mad woman with a weak brain and a dying injury could not bear to rob money and sex.
Furthermore, offending a crazy person for five or six taels of silver would not be worth it if something happened. They immediately gave up the idea, and the strong man who killed the cow said with great pity:
"We are all hunters who have lived in the mountains for a long time. We can hunt this prey ourselves. It is better for the wife and husband to keep it for themselves. The conditions in the mountains are simple, but there are still houses. Let's go and pack up one."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Chu Nanzhi gratefully followed the old doctor Ma Defu to the thatched house.
Looking around, there were about a dozen thatched huts, large and small, and seemed to be home to several families. Ma Defu led her and Li Ce into the easternmost room.
In the house, an old woman and a young woman were cutting animal skins. When they saw a stranger entering, they immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over with a look of fear.
Ma Defu waved to the two of them with a gloomy face: "Take this room away for this lady and husband."
Hearing the sound, the two packed up their things, looked at Chu Nanzhi and Li Ce, and walked out in confusion.
Waiting for the old man and the young man to go out, Ma Defu forced out a smile and gestured to Chu Nanzhi: "I have some good gold sore medicine to stop the bleeding. As for other medicinal materials, I am afraid that this lady won't be able to use it."
Well, the most important thing is that the golden sore medicine is cheap and easy to obtain.
Chu Nanzhi frowned and smiled: "The golden sore medicine is enough."
Just the thought of having to pull out the arrow for the disciple, without anesthesia, is an embarrassing thing.
Looking at the old doctor with burning eyes, Chu Nanzhi asked tentatively: "I wonder if there is mabo soup at your home?"
"What soup? Horse lung soup?"
Ma Defu shook his head with a confused look on his face: "I'm not afraid of women's jokes. I have lived in the mountains for a long time and have rarely seen horses. I don't know what this horse lung soup is."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
This word game is really profound and profound. Human life is at stake. What time has it been? The old doctor actually played a homophonic joke with himself.
Thinking about it more carefully, the prescription she gave Qian Hongwen only lasted for more than a month. These people lived in the mountains, so it was understandable that they had never heard of Ma Bo Tang.
After thinking for a moment, she asked Ma Defu again: "Is there any pepper?"
"That's true."
Ma Defu finally laughed with relief: "There are not many other things in this mountain, but wild peppercorns are everywhere."
Chu Nanzhi nodded happily and ordered to Li Ce: "Sanlang, follow your senior to pick more peppercorns, make a bowl of thick peppercorn wine like last time, and then bother your seniors to boil a pot of hot water at home.
."
The anesthetic properties of this kind of wild Sichuan peppercorns in the mountains are much better than those grown at home. The anesthetic effect will not be bad if the Sichuan peppercorn wine is made thicker.
Li Ce agreed and followed Ma Defu out to prepare pepper wine and hot water.
Chu Nanzhi sat beside the bed and counted the time silently in her mind.
Not long after, a strong man who killed the cow came in outside the house. Seeing her calm and unfazed look, he became anxious and asked: "Madam, you still want to tease me, ah, you want to kill your husband."
No matter how long you keep it in the tripe, we are still waiting for the beef to be cooked."
"Soon, soon."
Chu Nanzhi smiled reluctantly.
There were two people outside the house who thought she was a lunatic and did not dare to come in to embarrass her. They complained softly outside the door: "It would be unlucky if the man died in the cow's belly. How can we eat beef?"
"Keep your voice down, why are you arguing with a madman?"
A few people whispered to each other for a while, and suddenly someone shouted in this direction: "The little man came to life, he crawled out of the cow's belly by himself."
When the three of them heard the sound, they looked shocked and ran towards the dam where the cattle were slaughtered.
Chu Nanzhi stood up unhurriedly, followed a few people and walked slowly to the center of the dam. He saw that half of the disciple's body had climbed out of the tripe, and he was covering his injured chest and abdomen with one hand, and was vomiting heavily.
He was angry, his face was rosy, his face was radiant, and his overall energy was much better than before.
The hunters who were watching all looked surprised and sighed one after another: "This is really strange."
A group of people once again looked at Chu Nanzhi, and they couldn't help but look a little in awe.
