After traveling through time, my blood became a panacea
Chapter 9 Xiaoye Village
"Haaa...Haaa..." Xu Feng kept running in the jungle, and Xiao Hei followed closely behind him, panting but still not daring to stop. It had been more than ten days since he left Shiqiao Town. He had been traveling for two consecutive days, and only slowed down a little after leaving the Merlin County area. He didn't know where to go, but just went north by feeling. Later, in a town, they met a large caravan selling goods to the north. Because the journey was long, Xu Feng thought that there was safety in numbers, so he joined them at the cost of ten taels of gold.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, they encountered bandits in a deep mountain forest. The caravan had a guard team, and the leader was a ninth-grade warrior. However, the bandit leader was also a ninth-grade master, and was even more ferocious, and his men were all desperate. The two sides fought together, and soon the caravan guard team fell into a disadvantage. There were many travelers like Xu Feng who joined the caravan. They had no sense of belonging to the caravan, and it was not their business if the goods were robbed. Seeing that things were not going well, they immediately separated and ran away.
Unexpectedly, the bandit leader and his men were lying in ambush in secret. Seeing everyone fleeing in all directions, they wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop. With a shout, the ambushing bandits chased after them. Xu Feng was also targeted by a bandit. Fortunately, Xiao Hei was very powerful and bit the bandit's thigh hard when he was not paying attention. Only then did he escape by luck. But Xu Feng still did not dare to be careless. Those bandits were desperate criminals who killed people without blinking an eye. He, who came from Blue Star, could be said to be running for his life.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Feng could no longer run and simply sat down. Xiao Hei did not seem tired at all and was alertly guarding Xu Feng. It took him a long time to calm his breathing. He looked around and saw only sparse trees and weeds. Xu Feng could no longer see the road and did not dare to take the main road anymore, so he could only randomly choose a direction to walk.
Two days later, Xu Feng went downstream along a river he had found and finally found a village.
At this time, Xu Feng was dirty all over, holding a wooden stick as a crutch, like a beggar. Finally he found the crowd, he wanted to shout to the sky, finally he didn't have to sleep in the wild.
This place seems to be isolated from the world, with only dozens of households, surrounded by mountains and rivers, like a paradise.
Before entering the village, Xu Feng heard the noise of a group of children playing.
"Hit, hit quickly."
"Hit him hard on the head."
"Watch me, I won't let him get away with it.
......
Xu Feng looked in the direction of the sound and saw seven or eight children standing on a relatively flat slope, holding stones of different sizes in their hands, and smashing them hard at a huge and sturdy man below, shouting non-stop.
The sturdy man had a surprising physique, he looked to be two meters tall, and as sturdy as a bull. It was hard to imagine that he was being bullied by a group of children and dared not resist. He just raised his arms to protect his head and moved faster, trying to get away from the children as soon as possible. The children were looking down at him with skillful movements, and they obviously did this kind of thing often. Most of the stones hit the sturdy man's body accurately.
After watching for a while, Xu Feng found that the strong man was a little different from ordinary people. He was actually a little stupid. This was no wonder. There were usually one or two such people in the village. Some places on Blue Star believed that they were village guards. It was common for them to be teased by others. However, it was rare for such a big physique to be teased by a group of children.
When the children had thrown all the stones in their hands, someone finally noticed Xu Feng. They seemed very surprised to see a stranger. Seven or eight children screamed and scattered in fear, running quickly towards the village.
Soon, the adults in the village who had received the notification from the children gathered at the entrance of the village. This place was almost isolated from the outside world, and they might not see a stranger for several years. They couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.
Xu Feng did not act rashly, but stayed quietly at the entrance of the village. Many villagers whispered to him and pointed at him from time to time. Finally, a white-haired old man led the crowd out.
"I am the village chief of Xiaoye Village. I wonder what business this young man has here?"
"Greetings, elder. I am a traveling doctor. I encountered bandits on the road and accidentally ended up here while fleeing. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
"Oh? So you are a doctor, come into the village quickly." The village chief of Xiaoye Village thought it was a bit strange that Xu Feng was carrying a box, but when he heard his words, he immediately understood and greeted Xu Feng warmly.
In a village like theirs that is almost isolated from the world, traveling doctors and peddlers are the most welcome. Peddlers can bring them all kinds of daily necessities and novel gadgets from the town. As for doctors, who can escape birth, aging, sickness and death? Their village is very small, there is no real doctor, only one herbalist. If anyone has a fever or a cold, he will boil some herbs and drink them. Most of the time, it depends on luck, and the rest depends on yourself.
The village chief first invited Xu Feng to have a good meal and arranged a place for him to rest. Xu Feng was very grateful. He was indeed mentally exhausted. During the conversation, Xu Feng found out that it would take five or six days to walk northeast to reach the nearest town, Honghe Town.
The next day, after Xu Feng had a good rest, he set up a stall under a big tree at the entrance of the village and consulted with the villagers of Xiaoye Village. There were many people who came to see the doctor and lined up in order. Most of them were elderly people, with pains here and there, most of which were caused by overwork when they were young. Fortunately, Xu Feng's medical skills were good, and he usually prepared a lot of various pills and powders, which could basically meet the needs. If it really didn't work, he would use the wine mixed with his blood as the medicine to refine the panacea.
Originally, Xu Feng was too young and the villagers were a little skeptical, but they had no choice. However, as the medicine prescribed by Xu Feng showed obvious effects, the villagers became more enthusiastic and trusted him more. Many middle-aged men with minor ailments also began to ask Xu Feng for help. After four or five days of hard work, Xu Feng finally solved the problem.
The villagers didn't have much money and could only take some local specialties as a reward, but Xu Feng didn't mind. In his opinion, curing illnesses and saving lives was not a waste of his medical skills, and secondly, it was also out of the idea of good being rewarded. He hoped that his good deeds could be blessed by God, and that he could turn misfortune into good fortune and live a peaceful life.
After seeing all the patients, he prepared to pack up and go home as it was getting dark. He was going to leave tomorrow. As Xu Feng was packing up, he suddenly saw the slightly mentally retarded man who was bullied by a group of children with stones the day he entered the village slowly approaching him.
He seemed very shy, like a frightened deer, with a silly smile on his face, and his eyes kept scanning the village, as if he was afraid that people would discover his presence.
When he approached, Xu Feng immediately felt the pressure from his strong body. Xu Feng felt a little cold in his heart. Would he be any danger to me?
The sturdy man came up to Xu Feng, and under his vigilant gaze, he spread out his big palm, which contained several unknown wild fruits.
He showed a silly smile and kept muttering: "Eat...eat..."
Xu Feng was stunned, and felt relieved. It turned out that this idiot was bringing him food. "Thank you, but I'm not hungry now. You can keep it for yourself!"
The sturdy man looked very anxious when he heard this. He scratched his head and cheeks, feeling very restless, but he kept extending his palm to him. "Eat...you eat...here you go..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry." Seeing that the strong man seemed to be out of control, Xu Feng did not dare to be careless and hurriedly took the wild fruit from his hand.
Seeing this, the strong man immediately regained his composure and smiled happily. Like a child who had been praised. Xu Feng also smiled at him. The strong man continued, "Grandma... things are not good at home..."
Xu Feng was startled, and immediately understood. "You mean to say that your grandma is sick, and you want me to go over and see her?"
Upon hearing this, the sturdy man nodded frantically.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Xu Feng carried the medicine box on his back, and the strong man hurriedly and attentively led the way for him. The strong man's home was not in Xiaoye Village, but about fifty or sixty meters southwest of the village, near the foot of the mountain.
The house was rather simple, a small yard with a thatched hut inside, a dilapidated woodshed next to it, and a small chicken coop not far away.
Xu Feng followed the strong man into the thatched hut and saw the old grandmother lying sick in bed.
"Dear grandson, you're back?" The old man seemed to have heard footsteps. He didn't open his eyes, but just coughed twice after saying this.
"I'm back... to treat you..." The sturdy man looked extremely gentle and distressed.
"Old man, I am a traveling doctor who came here by chance. Let me take a look at you." Xu Feng said in a gentle voice.
After hearing the stranger's words, the old lady finally opened her eyes with difficulty.
"Let me take your pulse first."
After carefully checking the old man's condition, Xu Feng had a rough idea in his mind. He sighed inwardly and said to the strong man, "Go out for a while. I can't diagnose with you here." Xu Feng already knew that the strong man just looked a little stupid and spoke incoherently, but he could understand what others said.
Hearing this, the sturdy man was obviously reluctant and refused to leave.
"My dear grandson, be obedient." The old man said in a dry voice. The strong man then reluctantly left.
"Old man, your illness has reached its end. I can't do anything about it." Birth, aging, illness and death are inevitable for everyone. The old man looked to be eighty years old. It was very rare for ordinary people to live to this age, especially living in such a remote mountain village. His daily life must be very tiring.
"I know my health condition well. Thank you, doctor." The old lady smiled with relief. She just looked in the direction of the strong man outside the door with deep reluctance.
"If my guess is correct, you will be bedridden like this. If you are lucky, you will probably live for two or three months." This is the final destination of many elderly people. Their bodies gradually age, then they become bedridden, and finally die after a period of time.
"I have a medicine here that can restore your body to a vigorous state, not much different from when you were young. But it can only last for three to five days, no more than seven days at most. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, you will die within half an hour." Xu Feng usually reads a lot of medical books and fiddles with various medicinal materials. He has a lot of pills in his hands. There are many strange and bizarre medicinal effects among them, and this is one of them.
If it were you, at the last moment of your life, would you choose to linger on in weakness for two or three months, or to bloom for a brief moment for three to five days?
