Iron Bull Legend

Chapter 27 The first trip out of the mountain

I also gained a new understanding of modern warfare, that is, in the face of technology, no matter how powerful human beings are in martial arts, they are still weak and vulnerable.

With Grandpa Shan Ke's narration, another side of this murderous weapon was added to Tieniu's thinking space. As a result, in Leopard's Jin family, food became the favorite of the big eater. The food that becomes a big cat looks forward to every day.

The mountain leopard was edible, which was beyond Little Tieniu's expectation. Little Tieniu was in trouble, and Sister-in-law Jin was even more in trouble. Although the big cat brought back goats, pheasants, hares, muntjacs and other small animals from time to time, but they were gone. Food cannot always be eaten.

"Uncle, we are going to run out of food soon. Should we take out the wild products and exchange them for some food and salt?" Sister-in-law Jin expressed the family's concerns at the dinner table.

"Okay, leave this matter to me." Mr. Guo didn't say anything else. Since such a thing has happened, it must be solved. It is an important matter of food and clothing for a family of six, especially in such a small mountain village.

The old man was still enjoying his drink and ignored this matter.

"Mom, we also want to follow grandpa." The two little sisters prayed in unison. They have been to the mountains, and the outside world, through the stories of more than a dozen grandpas, is what they want to contact most now.

Tieniu said nothing and lowered his head to eat. A large table of people were looking at him. He could only nod, indicating that this time he was one of the people to go out. He also wanted to go out, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Therefore, the six people discussed and Mr. Guo took the two little girls and Tieniu out of the mountain in exchange for the supplies needed at home. The old lady and Jin's sister-in-law were at home, and the big eater who was the culprit was the big cat.

There was no talking all night. The next morning, after breakfast, the four people set off towards the mountain with a lot of mountain goods on their backs. There were the supplies they needed, as well as their wishes for the outside of the isolated mountain village. You can see beyond the mountains, the stacked houses where you can sleep.

Although the little sisters didn't carry much, they were heavier than the average six- or seven-year-old child. Even though it was very heavy, the two sisters' interest never stopped for a moment, chirping like larks flying out of their cages.

They had to climb three mountains from the small mountain village to the market town outside the mountains. After that, they had to walk dozens of miles of dirt roads to get to where they wanted to go. After chattering for more than three hours, they became quiet.

Little Tieniu divided a lot of things between the two sisters. Still under the little sisters' constant begging, Mr. Guo gave the order to rest.

After eating and drinking the dry food they brought and the cold water in the kettle, and resting for a long time, the group set off on the road again. After walking for more than an hour, they saw seven or eight low and dilapidated thatched houses in a small mountain col.

Several people did not stop and continued on their way. At this time, they climbed over a big mountain and stopped halfway up the second mountain. Looking at the endless mountains, the three children who were going out for the first time did not know how many more were ahead. Far.

Mr. Guo looked at the blazing red sun in the sky, rested for a while, and started on the road again. He met no one on the winding trails in the mountains, and the two little girls felt bored.

At this time, Tieniu had already taken over all the mountain goods carried by the two little girls. Grandpa originally carried a lot of mountain goods, and he also wanted to bring back more food and daily necessities.

The speed of going down the mountain was obviously much faster. Just before the sun was about to set, we arrived at the foot of the last mountain. There were more than a dozen households here. There was a lot of land here, and life was obviously much better.

Mr. Guo decided to find a family to spend the night here. He walked to the village with his three children, observed it, found a family with a better life, and knocked on the door.

Mr. Guo's knock on the door attracted the big dog hiding in the house. A big yellow dog more than one meter long roared out and barked at several people inside the courtyard door.

"Big yellow, calm down." A woman in her forties came out of the room and scolded the big yellow dog that was still barking. The big yellow dog whined, wagging its tail like a windmill, and lay down on its owner. down.

"Sister, we are going to the market in the mountains, and we have children with us. Isn't it convenient for us to stay at your house for the night?" Mr. Guo asked in a low voice when he saw the woman's kind face.

"Okay, but I don't have any good food at home, so I'm neglecting the guests." The woman looked like him and was a kind person. She enthusiastically brought the four of them into the small courtyard. The big yellow dog looked at A few people arrived, and because they were strangers, they neighed in low voices and gave warnings.

The owner of this house lives in a three-room house, which is the same as Xiao Tieniu's house. There are two rooms in the east and west, with the kitchen in the middle. The house is neatly kept, and one can immediately tell that the hostess of this house is very hard-working. , neat person.

Mr. Guo put down his basket, took out a piece of wild boar loin weighing three to four kilograms, and handed it directly to the hostess.

"Brother, this is not okay. My husband will definitely be angry when he comes back and finds out that he has collected so much meat." The hostess immediately refused after seeing such a large piece of marinated meat. This was sincere and not hypocritical at all.

"Auntie, just accept it. We shot a big one this year and divided it into more than ten kilograms. We still have it at home." Little Tieniu quickly pushed over and said.

"Giggle, the little guy is really rare, okay, I will accept it." The hostess did not refuse, and took the four of them to the east room. There was only a white-haired old man lying on the fire kang, with a look on his face. Sick.

A few people put the baskets of mountain goods on the open space of the house and observed the room. Like the kitchen, it was kept spotless. The old man lying on the hospital bed did not have any of the stinky smell of the old man who had been bedridden for a long time. It was obvious that the woman The virtuousness of the master.

At this time, a figure walked in from outside the gate. The big yellow dog rushed out wagging its tail to welcome its owner back.

The male owner is a farm man with good appearance and strong body. After the couple got married, they had a daughter, who is now married. His mother died of illness last year, and his father suffered from excessive grief and long-term fatigue. fell down.

Therefore, the only two laborers left in a large family are the male master and his wife. Under the management of the female master, the family can still satisfy the family's needs for food and drink, and they are considered wealthy these days.

"Old Wang, I'm back. There are guests at home..." The hostess said what Mr. Guo said when the man picked up the water ladle and scooped some water into the big vat and drank it. The arrival of people.

"Ah, hurry up and prepare the two dishes, don't neglect me." Lao Wang quickly replied after drinking the water, and reached out to hammer his waist, which was a little painful from exertion.

"Okay, you go in first and chat with the guests for a while, I'll be fine." The hostess said and started to get busy. Two little girls, Jin Lan and Jin Zhu, ran over to help. After being polite, they chatted happily.

After Lao Wang arrived in the east room, they introduced each other and started chatting. Little Tieniu sat next to his grandpa with nothing to do. He relaxed his mind and body and felt the whole body of the old man. This was under the condition that he had no contact with the outside world. , a way to perceive the living environment.

The old man's breath is relatively stable. The main reason is that his body functions are declining, and his gastrointestinal and other functions are in slow peristalsis. He has been lying on the kang for a long time without exercise, and has gradually lost his basic functions. This is also related to the old man's own mental problems. My wife passed away and I was very sad.

"Brother, I learned the art of Qihuang in my early years. My three children are my apprentices. I wonder if the old man is sick?" Mr. Guo was very fond of the family's kindness and wanted to help. However, for strangers, People are wary, so it’s very straightforward. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.

"Oh, brother, my mother passed away when my family was just a little better. At that time, there was no money for medical treatment. As you know, people in the mountains are miserable." After Lao Wang finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Brother, we have no intention of making money. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to you and your siblings for taking the trouble to entertain us." Mr. Guo immediately understood what Lao Wang meant. This is that the family has no money.

To be honest, in this era, it is considered good to have enough to eat, and the family has money. It has been better in recent years. In the past few years, it was common for people to starve to death, and a girl could be replaced by a girl as a wife.

Many old people tell stories, the kindness of a wowotou or half a big pancake is real. A wowotou or a big pancake saves the life of one or several people. What a great kindness it is. Who is it? I can eat dry rice every meal, and I can also eat steamed buns and pancakes.

I drink cornmeal porridge every day. Summer is okay, and I can dig some wild vegetables in the fields. In winter, there is nothing, so what to eat? It’s freezing cold. If the family is better off, they can only eat two meals a day. If the family is poor, they can’t even afford one meal a day. , clear soup with little water, not even a mouse in the wild can be seen.

"Thank you very much, brother, thank you very much." Lao Wang quickly stood up and expressed his gratitude to Mr. Guo.

"You're welcome, this is our duty." Mr. Guo was polite and glanced at Tieniu.

Tieniu nodded, walked directly to the old man, put his hand on the old man's pulse, closed his eyes slightly, and used the pulse diagnosis method taught by Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa to confirm the diagnosis.

Soon, Xiao Tieniu verified based on the pulse and his own feelings. After that, he determined the old man's condition and wrote a prescription, as well as the acupuncture points and treatment methods.

Mr. Guo stepped forward to take a pulse. Soon, Mr. Guo looked at the prescription prescribed by Xiao Tieniu and told him that the dosage of the prescription needed to be increased, indicating that Xiao Tieniu could give the injection.

Little Tieniu gently opened the quilt and opened the old man's clothes. He saw that the old man was so thin that only a handful of bones were left. He felt very uncomfortable. He took out the silver needle from the needle bag and took out a small bottle to disinfect the silver needle. Then, the fingers holding the silver needles shook slightly, and five silver needles were pierced into the old man's body, and then five more silver needles were pierced together.

After the ten silver needles were inserted, the two small hands moved together, twisting and then flicking, the silver needles slid out of the arc with a slight sound. I saw something strange in the old man's body. In less than a minute, there was a sensation under the old man's body. Come the exhaust sound.

Tieniu carefully observed the old man's condition and did not pay attention to the stench of accumulated food emitted by the old man's farts. After the silver needle was about to stop, Lightning retracted seven needles and flicked the tail of the third needle.

Then, he began to feel his pulse again to feel the old man's physical condition.

The old man was lying on the bed. He knew that the doctor was going to treat him. He knew his own body and gave up. However, when he felt the hot air flow in his body, the gas accumulated in his stomach suddenly started to move in his intestines. The gas is discharged from the lower part and feels much more comfortable.

"I am four years old this year. My mother and father were killed by gangsters when I was one year old. I know that I survived without my parents. I hope grandpa will not give up." After Tieniu finished speaking, a sterilized silver needle was inserted directly into the At the Baihui point on the top of the head, insert the needle one inch, then rotate it in a circle, and a stream of internal energy will enter the silver needle.

After three breaths, quickly pull out the needles, then pull out the remaining three silver needles on the upper body, sterilize them and put them into the needle bag.

"Oh, I'm exhausted. What did I dream about?" The old man on the kang opened his eyes, took a long breath, and said intermittently. His stomach began to growl, and one fart followed another.

If Mr. Guo were to administer acupuncture, the effect would be better if all ten needles came out at once. Tieniu's hands are small, so five needles is his limit. Seven needles promote gastrointestinal motility, and three needles promote blood flow and increase the Qi in the body. , the blood flow rate will be faster.

Taking the pulse for the second time in Tieniu was actually to feel the old man's physical condition and found that the old man did not want to wake up on his own. Mr. Guo did not expect the needle at Baihui point. Also, what Tieniu said was in Encourage the elderly.
