Chapter 420: Abandoned Village

Gao Shan's body recovered quickly. After coming out of the tented hospital, he looked like he was fine.

But Gao Shan was really shocked when he saw Shangguan Ergou again.

He was unkempt, with a sallow complexion and thin muscles, and the military uniform on his body exuded a rancid smell. He looked like a homeless man who had just been fished out of the trash can.

If it weren't for the fact that the face still looked the same, Gao Shan almost didn't dare to recognize it.

"How long have you been here?" Gao Shan asked thoughtfully when he saw the corpses covered with white cloth and arranged in a row not far away.

"Forgot!" Shangguan Ergou opened his cracked lips and his voice was hoarse.

He woke up not long after he came up that day and heard that the superiors wanted to go down and search the secret passage through which they escaped. Shangguan Ergou took over the task regardless of the obstruction.

He didn't think about anything at that time. He only had one idea in his mind: bring all his comrades back so that they could be buried in the Martyrs' Garden.

For people like them, death is not the end. Like countless unknown heroes, they will lie silently in the quiet garden, waiting for their motherland and waiting for visits from their relatives.

Maybe they can't meet again, but knowing that the bones are still there is a bit of comfort for the Chinese who value their body, hair and skin.

He raised his head and looked around. Although the atmosphere was far from hot, only Shangguan Ergou looked unnatural.

Human beings are forgetful creatures. No matter how painful they encounter, they will eventually be lost in time. In the final analysis, it is also selfish.

And this is not sad, it is an instinct of biological self-regulation of sadness.

Moreover, compared to these forgotten heroes, those who have forgotten their own 'look' are the real sorrows.

"Hey, that's over there..." Realizing that Shangguan Ergou could hardly open his eyelids and was still reluctant to rest, the senior high school student suddenly reached out and pointed behind him.

Shangguan, who was already in a trance, turned around without thinking, his neck went numb, his vision gradually turned into darkness, and he collapsed into a warm embrace.

"I'll go, this guy is really heavy." Gao Shan helped the sleeping Shangguan Ergou to the hospital and handed him directly to Fang Ting.

"Add some sleeping pills to him, or I'll wake up after watching it for a few hours." Everyone was already knocked unconscious. If he wasn't allowed to have a good sleep, wouldn't his performance just be in vain?

As for the acting skills that no normal person would believe, that's not the point at all. It doesn't matter if the acting is good or not, as long as it works!

The TV series was also a mess, but the few "good faces" still made a lot of money.

Off topic!

After taking care of Shangguan Ergou, Gao Shan decided to go to the crack in the ground to see the situation.

I don’t know who is the commander here. Could it be Shangguan Ergou?

With his sad and sick look, if he really were still the commander-in-chief, then Gaoshan would definitely let him treat him when he woke up. I don’t know how many lives would have been saved by this sleep!

"Professor Gao, meet again?" Just as he was thinking about it, someone came over with a warm and familiar smile, which made Gao Shan feel a little familiar.

"Royal power?" Gao Shan's expression changed, and he said disgustedly, "Why are you everywhere?"

"These are revolutionary bricks, they need to be moved wherever they need to be!" Wang Quan said with a smile.

"Don't flatter yourself!" Looking behind him, he didn't see the two men, but instead saw an unexpected figure.

"Lao Gao, are you excited to see me?" Hua Yu walked over briskly carrying a medicine box.

"It's quite unexpected. Why are you here?" Gao Shan asked curiously, considering that the hospital was so busy, why did he come here?

Besides, nothing is going on now. Could it be that the military is preparing to go down a second time?

"I'm here to help. The military wants to build a temporary hospital here and asked me to take charge of it." Hua Yu said, pointing to an open space being cleared.

Seeing Wang Quan's strange smile next to him, Gao Shan probably understood what he was going to do.

"When?" Looking at him calmly, Gao Shan decided to make more preparations this time.

"Tomorrow." Seeing that Gao Shan now understood his mission, Wang Quan said somewhat boringly.

"I need weapons." Gao Shan didn't want to use spiritual needles to deal with the black-armored earth beast.

Although the spiritual needle is very cool to use and can be used to save people at critical moments, it must be said that Gao Shan was very frustrated when facing the black-armored earth beast.

"It's ready, come and see with me!" Gao Shan gave him a meaningful look, as if to say, 'You're lucky,' Gao Shan followed Wang Quan to a heavily guarded tent.

Walking into the tent, it was filled with all kinds of testing instruments, but what attracted Gaoshan was the ‘jade instrument’ placed on the long table in the middle, supported by brackets.

A sword as long as an arm, a spear that almost reached its top, a ring knife that was half a man's height, and... a bone club?

In the front are two round lumps the size of fists, and in the back is a gradually tapering stick with three edges and corners, which is exactly like a removed calf bone.

"Where did this thing come from?" Gao Shan did not look at those beautiful jade weapons, although he probably guessed where they came from.

Apart from the 'jade steps' falling from the sky, what other jade can be made into weapons, and they are specially used to deal with earth beasts.

"This is a medicine-pounding pestle found in Miao territory. Look at your feet." Wang Quan chuckled and pointed to his feet.

A medicine-pounding bowl made of stone with a lotus shape on it comes into view.

As soon as Gao Shan bent down to pick it up and take a look, he smelled the faint scent of medicine before he got close, and the expression on his face suddenly became ecstatic.

This is definitely a medicine bowl that has been used for who knows how many years. The medicinal properties may have soaked into the entire stone, and it naturally emits a medicinal fragrance.

If you meet a frail and sick person with this kind of medicine bowl, put it in his room. If you keep it for a few years, your body will get better. It's an absolute treasure!

"The lotus medicine bowl and the white bone medicine pestle are said to have been passed down from generation to generation by Miao doctors. No one knows how many years ago or how many people have used them.

It was originally a sacred object that was enshrined, but that village... was completely swallowed up by the sinkhole. Apart from the corpses on the ground, this was the only thing left."

After hearing what Wang Quan said, Gao Shan picked up the medicine pestle and medicine bowl without hesitation. He wanted these two things.

He grabbed the medicine bowl with one hand and lifted it up. It was quite heavy. The stone bowl, which was a little higher than his knees, was about 7 to 80 centimeters in diameter and weighed about 200 kilograms.

This thing is more like a small cauldron than a medicine bowl. It is carved from a whole piece of stone. It looks like a dancing shaman wearing animal skins, a bonfire, and various rare and exotic animals. I don’t know how much it cost back then.

It took a lot of effort to create such a stone bowl.

"Can you still run while holding such a thing?" Seeing Gao Shan's cumbersome medicine pestle in one hand and stone bowl in the other, Wang Quan almost pointed at him with his arms akimbo and laughed.

If he were to wear an animal skin, he would look like an aborigine from ancient times.
