Lingxu Star is a small mountain village on the edge of the Beast Mountain Range in the south of Tianyu Kingdom.
An old man was taking a young man to collect medicine in the mountains.
Their bodies are strong and strong, and they can easily walk on steep mountain roads and cliffs.
But they don't have the aura of cultivators. Although Lingxu Planet is a cultivation planet and monks are very common, Lingxu Planet is so huge that there are still many mortal countries.
There are still many mortals who are not qualified to enter the immortal world.
However, although they are mortals, the spiritual energy on Lingxu Planet is rich, and ordinary mortals are also extremely strong and have a strong innate physique. With a little exercise, they can grab hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects and walk as fast as flying.
The young man looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he had already grown to a height of 1.8 meters. His hands were longer than his knees and he was walking swiftly. While following his grandfather, he looked left and right, his nose constantly twitching.
Herb collectors like them.
In addition to having sharp eyes, the nose also needs to be sharp. Many medicinal materials have a special smell. Even if they are covered by other vegetation, the smell will still come out.
Teenagers are born with a sense of smell that is more sensitive than ordinary people.
So at such a young age, the harvest every time is no less than that of my grandfather.
Suddenly he stopped, looked at a place, twitched his nose violently, and shouted: Grandpa, it smells of blood.
The old man in front stopped, raised his hand and shouted: Be careful, there may be wild beasts.
As he spoke, he carefully pulled out a hatchet.
This is the Savage Beast Mountain Range, which is famous for the large number of wild beasts. Although this is only the outer area, there are often wild beasts, and the smell of blood is not uncommon.
Let's go around. Do you know where the smell of blood comes from?
Although the old man didn't smell it, he was very confident in his grandson's sense of smell, so he had no doubt that when encountering wild beasts in the Savage Beast Mountain Range, it was best to walk around, because even low-level beasts were capable of attacking people.
pose a fatal threat.
They are herb gatherers, not hunters. Even if they can kill, they should try to avoid fighting with wild beasts.
Grandpa, it seems to be human blood, the young man said.
Really? The old man frowned deeper and hesitated a little. If there was human blood, someone might have been attacked by a wild beast.
Go over and take a look.
The old man hesitated for a moment and then said.
He is a barefoot doctor in Daliu Village. Although his medical skills are average and he only served as an apprentice with a charlatan for two years, he still has the persistence of a doctor in his heart, just in case someone is injured there.
Ergou, where is the smell of blood?
The boy named Ergou pointed in one direction.
You wait for me here. If anything happens, run down the mountain immediately. The old man said worriedly.
Grandpa, I'm going too. Ergou shouted.
wait for me.
The old man said seriously, and the two dogs scratched their heads and had to stand there, watching the old man carefully touch in that direction.
After about a few minutes, grandpa's voice came from over there: Ergou, come here quickly.
Ergou ran over quickly, crawled through a bush, and saw his grandfather standing on the edge of a slope. At his feet, lying a man covered in blood.
Ergou ran to his grandfather and was shocked when he saw that man. This man was too miserable.
Almost every part of his body had been cut, not a single piece of flesh and blood was good, and even bones and internal organs were exposed in many places.
Grandpa, was this man eaten by a wild beast and thrown here?
The two dogs didn't think it was a complete human being anymore. It must have been bitten by a wild beast and eaten the leftover items.
No, he's not dead yet. The old man squatted down and pointed at the man's chest: Look, his heart is still beating.
Ergou looked at it and saw that there was a big hole in the man's chest, and part of his heart was exposed. But just like that, the heart was still beating. He shook his head with disbelief on his face: He wouldn't die even if he did this, this man is too lucky.
Well, it seems like he survived.
The old man said nothing. He took the man's pulse and carefully looked at his injuries. After a few minutes, he said: Not necessarily. This man's heartbeat has not weakened. Although it is very slow, it is still stable. Ergou, we need to
Take him back. If he lies here, a wild beast will definitely take him away.
good.
Ergou didn't say anything, and immediately squatted down: Grandpa, I'll carry him.
The old man responded and grabbed Long Xiaoshan with all his strength, trying to get him onto Ergou's back: "It's so heavy."
Although the old man is old, his physique is not weak. He can easily grab something weighing two to three hundred kilograms, but when he pulled it just now, he didn't pull it.
Grandpa, let me help you.
The two dogs got up, and the two of them tried their best to get the bloody man onto the back of the second dog. The second dog grinned: Is this guy made of stone? It's so heavy.
Ergou, if you can't carry it, let grandpa come.
It's okay, grandpa, I'm fine.
Ergou took a deep breath and carried the man on his back down the mountain.
On the way, Ergou still couldn't hold on, so he took turns with his grandfather. The two of them originally walked up the mountain for two hours, but ended up taking four hours to go down. By the time they got back to Daliu Village, it was already dark.
When it gets dark, the village doors are closed.
Surrounded by thick log fences, there are many dangers on Lingxu Planet. In addition to wild beasts, there are also many warriors and immortal cultivators.
Therefore, any village has its own defense.
Qi Bo, you came back so late, hey, who is Ergouzi carrying and who is injured? Two villagers standing guard at the door shouted.
A passerby picked it up in the mountains. Qi Bo said.
Passers-by and two villagers came over and took a few glances: With such a serious injury, he must be dead.
He's not dead, please help. Qi Bo shouted, it was too heavy to carry him all the way down the mountain, and his feet were shaking from exhaustion.
OK, let's do it.
With the help of two people, the man was finally carried to Qi Bo's house. Qi Bo was actually the only pharmacist in Daliu Village. He had a high status in Daliu Village. Even the village chief respected him. After all, having a pharmacist in the village could greatly improve the survival rate.
Increase.
Moreover, collecting medicinal herbs is also a major source of income for the village.
As soon as Uncle Qi got home, he didn't bother to rest, so he was busy boiling water and getting medicine, and shouted: Ergou, go and ask your sister to help.
The village was not big, so Ergou quickly came in with a girl.
Master, you call me.
The girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, quite pretty, her name was Liu Ya, and she was an apprentice of Uncle Qi in the village.
Well, help clean this patient's wound. I want to apply medicine.
Liu Ya had already heard Ergou talk about it on the way, but when she saw the bloody man lying on the bed, she was still shocked: this man is not dead.
Following Uncle Qi, she had seen many injured people, but it was rare for them to be as miserable as this, and she had never seen one alive.
He's not dead, so do it quickly. If you're late, it's too late. Qi Bo urged.
good.
Liu Ya and Er Gou began to clean the bloody man's body with hot water to remove all the blood and dirt. Qi Bo took a large bucket of black ointment and applied it on the body.
It took me two full hours, late at night, to finally get all the wounds taken care of.
