Succubus' Manor

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Chi Yan doesn't pay attention to the image at all, wearing clothes with the chest open - after all, he is in his own castle, there are no outsiders, no one will blame him for whatever he wears, but since he wears it like this, Fewer and fewer servants dared to look up at him, and they basically stared at his toes when talking to him.

Just when Chi Yan was eating fruit, lying on a chair, lamenting that he was really a corrupt landlord class.

A servant came rushing in suddenly.

Generally speaking, the servants don’t make any noise in the castle, let alone run in the castle. The butler treats everyone obediently. The butler’s face is stern, and the servants are as obedient as if they were caught. Cat in the scruff of the neck.

Chi Yan felt that the servants were not really afraid of him, but the housekeeper.

However, Chi Yan had never seen the housekeeper punish them, at most he just scolded them.

It may be because the housekeeper's temperament is very strict. Chi Yan sometimes thinks of the director of the moral education department in his high school when he looks at the housekeeper. .

Because the director's surname is Zhang, but his face is a bit like a horse face, he has a nickname among the students.

As a result, when a student went to the Moral Education Department, he yelled "Teacher Ma" at the other party, and got slapped in the end.

But the slap was not severe, just like a joke, and there were no other students in the classroom.

But after the news was spread by the students involved, it made the students "happy".

Chi Yan's stomach ached from laughing when he found out.

The butler is probably Mr. Zhang, who looks fierce and severe, as if he can't bear the consequences of offending him, but in fact he is not a bad person, it's just that he is too strict when he is strict, but he won't be punished just because he is in a bad mood. Just find someone a crime and press it.

In other words, he is just a strict defender of the system, not a sadist.

"My lord!" the male servant managed to catch his breath, and said with difficulty, "Dahe and the others are back!"

Chi Yan didn't eat the fruit in his hand, he looked at the servant: "How did you come back?"

According to the original plan, Dahe and the others should not come back until the beginning of winter, and it's only been a month since summer, how could they come back so soon?

The male servant took a deep breath, and seemed a little frightened. He said tremblingly, "Dahe's leg...was broken."

Chi Yan stood up in an instant, and he walked straight to the door without looking back, saying, "Where are they? Show me the way."

The male servant bowed his waist and ran to Chi Yan at a trot. When leading the way, he didn't have to strictly follow the rule that servants must walk behind the lord. The male servant's forehead was covered with sweat, and Chi Yan frowned, walking with wind.

At this time, Chi Yan had a stern and murderous aura that he didn't usually see.

In this day and age, having a broken leg is almost equivalent to a death sentence. There are no real doctors, and the illness is almost entirely self-healing. If it is a dislocation, it is fine, but if the bone is really broken, it is really equivalent to a disabled person. , Even if they survived, they lost the ability to support themselves.

Chi Yan is willing to support Dahe, but disability is a huge blow to a normal person.

Especially a responsible person like Dahe.

Dahe and the two companions he took away were placed in the house where the goblin lived.

Both of Dahe's legs were broken, and two of his companions were also injured. The wounds of his companions were on his face, and the bony scars could be seen running through his entire face, and they had already begun to fester.

Probably relying on extraordinary perseverance, the two companions took turns carrying the river on their backs, avoiding wild beasts, and returned to the territory with difficulty.

"Dahe! Dahe! Open your eyes and look at your mother!" Dahe's mother hugged her son's head.

Dahe was so burned that he was unconscious, let alone opening his eyes, he couldn't even move his fingers.

The other two companions also passed out when they set foot on the territory and saw the smoke.

The three people who went out together were all in a coma, and it's not an interrogation now. When exploring the reason, they must be revived first.

When Chi Yan walked into the house, all the goblins knelt on the ground, only Dahe's mother hugged her son tightly.

She gave birth to many children, but only this one survived. This child is so good, he finally gained the appreciation of the lord, and finally lived the life he wanted, but this happened to him.

Chi Yan: "The others go out first."

The goblins rushed out, and Chi Yan's order was not discounted in the slightest.

After the people left, Chi Yan came to Dahe's side. Dahe's face was covered with bruises, as were his arms and body. He squatted down to look at Dahe's legs, one of Dahe's legs was turning aside in a strange way.

Chi Yan stretched out his hand to touch Dahe's leg.

Probably because Chi Yan had to touch the bones hard, Dahe groaned in pain in a coma.

Mother Dahe couldn't stop crying.

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief after touching it. Although he has no medical background, he can still feel that the bone is not broken into two joints. It should be a dislocated knee joint. As long as he finds the right method, he can connect it.

He softly comforted Dahe's mother: "Dahe will be fine, you don't have to worry too much, go and wash your face, I'll have someone move Dahe and the others to the castle, and someone will take care of him."

Dahe's mother is unwilling to leave, this is her son.

She still remembered the day when Dahe was born, she was working, when suddenly her stomach hurt and blood flowed down, she was born under a tree.

Obviously she didn't eat well when she was pregnant, but the child was unexpectedly strong, and he struggled to survive.

Live so big, live so well.

Dahe's mother bit her lip and cried silently.

Chi Yan felt sad.

He thought of his mother, how distressed would his mother be when she saw his dead body?

It's just that he never took care of her and had no chance to repay her.

He also hopes that his parents can get out of the pain as soon as possible, and forget him.

So Chi Yan's voice became more gentle: "Go wash up, change your clothes, and then go to the castle to take care of Dahe, go."

Dahe's mother finally left the room with the help of the servants.

Chi Yan asked the servants to prepare a room in the castle, put three beds in it, and move Dahe and the others there.

The bed should be covered with a clean cloth and changed every day.

After the servants moved him away, Chi Yan also returned to the castle. As he walked, he kept thinking, did he do something wrong?He shouldn't have let Dahe and the others go, or should have let Dahe pick a few more people before crossing.

Dahe and the others should have offended some big businessman and got black hands.

Chi Yan's face was so expressionless that the butler didn't dare to speak loudly when he saw Chi Yan.

Chi Yan had never been so serious before.

His wrong decision may have almost killed three people.

Chi Yan's heart sank, little by little, into the endless abyss.

"Clean up their wounds first." Chi Yan said to the housekeeper, "Wash with salt water and squeeze out the pus."

The weather is so hot, the wound is easy to suppurate, this method is not good, but it is the only way Chi Yan can think of.

Chi Yan: "These days, cook wheat paste for them, cook it thinner, and feed it to them."

To feed liquid food, better absorption.

In addition, Chi Yan also asked the housekeeper: "Is there any saltpeter sold in the city?"

Butler: "My lord, what is saltpeter?"

Chi Yan bit her lip tightly: "Have someone take a hoe and dig next to the cesspit."

He remembered that when he used to do game missions, saltpeter had to be obtained next to the cesspit or the ruins. The ruins could not be found, but the cesspit did exist.

Whether they can find the saltpeter depends on the lives of Dahe and the others.

The butler didn't dare to make a discount, nor did he dare to persuade Chi Yan to leave those slaves alone, so he hurriedly summoned his servants to give orders to the slaves.

"Give me the white stone after digging out!" the steward yelled at the slaves with hoes and shovels.

The slaves didn't know why, but they didn't object.

They quickly got into work and started digging three feet to find the white stone.

While the slaves were working, Chi Yan watched the servants clean the wounds of the three wounded. Dahe was alright, with only small wounds, which were easy to clean. The other two were miserable, with wounds on their faces that had already started to fester , when the servants cleaned them up, they would wake up briefly in pain.

The pus was squeezed out, and the wound was washed with salt water over and over again. They were woken up by the pain and passed out, woke up again by the pain, and passed out again.

This room is like hell on earth.

It was not until the pus was squeezed out and the blood turned from dirty to bright red that the servants applied herbs to stop the bleeding on their wounds.

These herbs were found from livestock. When grazing sheep, slaves found that some sheep would chew a kind of grass after being injured, and then apply it to the wound by themselves, and the scar would soon form and then get better.

At first the slave didn’t dare to speak out, because he was a witch doctor who used grass to cure diseases, but after thinking about it, even if he was a witch doctor, it was still the sheep, and it had nothing to do with him, so he reported it to the steward, who then reported it to the steward. Chi Yan.

Because he didn't know how to process medicinal materials, Chi Yan could only ask his servants to pick them up, crush them and apply them to the slave's wounds.

The servants didn't think that Chi Yan was working as a witch doctor. After all, it was the sheep who discovered and used this herb.

The sheep is the witch doctor. If someone finds out, just hand over the sheep.

Chi Yan didn't know whether to wrap it with gauze, but when he thought about the hot weather, he used to play football with stinky feet and was often injured. His mother told him to wear shorts after spraying him with Yunnan Baiyao. Don't be afraid to wrap the wound. It is prone to inflammation. When the weather is hot, the wound is exposed and exposed to the air, which is better than being stuffy.

The most important thing now is to find out the saltpeter and use it to treat diseases and reduce the temperature in the ward.

This will allow their wounds to heal as quickly as possible.

Everyone knew that the reason why Xia Tian was injured and finally infected was because of the high temperature.

It is a pity that after a whole day of digging with all the manpower, the saltpeter still could not be dug out.

When the steward reported to the butler, he didn't dare to show his breath.

The butler had a straight face. He knew that Chi Yan was already suffering enough headaches, so he said, "Let someone dig next to the previous pits."

Because it is night, most people have night blindness, and it is already very difficult for them to walk at night, let alone digging at night, and distinguishing the color of stones is impossible.

So I can only continue to dig tomorrow during the day.

Chi Yan stayed in the wounded's room for a long time, until the wound was cleaned up and the three wounded fell asleep. Then he returned to his room after the sky darkened. There was no need to eat dinner, since he couldn't eat it anyway.

Kleist knocked on Chi Yan's door after visiting the injured.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chi Yan's expressionless face. Perhaps in the eyes of others, the expressionless Chi Yan looked a bit fierce, but Kleist only saw Chi Yan's depression and depression, as well as his deep self-confidence. responsibility.

In front of Kleist, Chi Yan finally lost his disguise. He sat by the bed and covered his face with his hands.

Kleist sat quietly beside Chi Yan, hugging Chi Yan's shoulder, and Chi Yan leaned on Kleist's shoulder.

"I made the wrong decision." Chi Yan's voice had a strong nasal tone, but he didn't cry. He blinked his eyes and held back the tears. Now anyone can be weak, but he can't.

Chi Yan blamed himself and said, "If I hadn't let them go out, they wouldn't have encountered such danger. I thought about it earlier. Once they had a conflict with others, they would definitely not be able to fight against the treacherous big businessman."

"Maybe when they wake up, they won't even know who did it."

Krystal listened quietly.

Chi Yan: "...I may not be the material to be a lord, I don't understand many things..."

He fell into self-doubt.

Self-blame and depression were about to overwhelm him.

In the past, when he failed, at most, he lost a football game, or overturned his car in the final exam of a monthly exam. It is necessary to fill in a few lives.

The weight of human life cannot be carried on his shoulders.

After Chi Yan finished speaking, Kleist said softly: "You are not angry because of their failure. It is the luckiest thing for them. You are not a god, how can you predict everything?"

"It's dangerous to go out. Dahe is still a goblin. He must have thought about the consequences of failure before he left."

Kleist said softly: "What you think about now is how to avoid this situation in the future, instead of taking all the mistakes on yourself. Without you, they would have starved to death last winter." .”

No one is always on the right path.

If there is, that person is a saint, not a mortal.

Chi Yan: "I understand the truth, but I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Kleist suddenly said: "I killed a wild boar during the day, and it was brought back. The cook is cooking. Do you want to eat pork tomorrow?"

This is changing the subject.

Chi Yan said wearily, "I don't want to, I'm going to watch the slaves dig saltpeter tomorrow."

He didn't want to talk anymore. Today, his spirit was very tense. After talking a few words with Kleist, he leaned on Kleist's shoulder and fell asleep.

But even in his sleep, his brows were furrowed.

Kleist looked down at Chi Yan's sleeping face, and reached out to smooth Chi Yan's frown.

The moment he raised his head, his face was full of hostility.

Just let him know who did it.

Who made Chi Yan show such an expression.

He will make the other party regret why he was born and came to this world.

That night, all the demons could not fall asleep. They changed into their original shapes in their own rooms, biting each other restlessly.

It wasn't until dawn the next day, when they turned into human forms, that they regained their composure.

But everyone's eyes were red, bloodshot inside, and their expressions were fierce, as if they could attack the person in front of them in the next moment.

As a result, everyone walked around them this day.

Finally, in the afternoon of the second day, beside an abandoned cesspit, someone dug out a white stone, which could still glow slightly in the sun. The saltpeter was originally in the form of crystals, but there were too many impurities in it, so it could not be completely penetrated. Light, there are impurities of other colors in it.

Chi Yan also knows how to purify it, but it is a simple method. You have to mix melted water with plant ash, heat and stir until it is saturated and dissolved, and then precipitate and cool to extract saltpeter with a certain purity and function.

Now there is no delay, all the excavated saltpeter has to be refined, but at the beginning, many different ratios have to be tried until the ratio with the best purification effect is found.

The thing used for filtering is relatively thick coarse cloth, and it is not good for filtering if it is too thin.

This night, many people in the territory did not sleep. They were in the house, lighting torches, and kept refining.

Chi Yan himself also participated in it, but he was not with the servants, but the housekeeper arranged a separate room for him.

The smashed stones were compared with plant ash and water one to one, one to two to one, one to two to three, etc. Chi Yan tried a lot.

Finally found the most suitable ratio at noon on the third day.

The saltpeter that had cooled down became a white and transparent crystal, and there were still some impurities in it, but it was much better.

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, told the butler what to do, and asked him to notify the servants, Chi Yan fell into bed and fell asleep.

After waking up, he just ate something casually - anyway, he can't eat delicious food even if he is full of Han.

The refined saltpeter is put into the water, and after the water freezes, it is brought into the wounded’s room. The ice made from the saltpeter can only be used to cool down the temperature and cannot be eaten. If you want to eat it, you have to use the made ice to separate the container. To freeze clean water.

At this time, ancient China should have mastered the method of making ice with saltpeter, but it has not been done here.

Chi Yan sighed leisurely after waking up.

If he was asked to choose where to travel, he would definitely choose to travel to China at the same time.

At least at this time, although Chinese medicine is still in the development stage, and there are many people who have cured the dead, at least they have a basic understanding of herbal medicine.

Once the temperature in the room drops, the wound will not fester so easily.

There was no ice for the first three days, and the temperature in the house remained high. After cleaning the wound overnight, it began to suppurate again.

It can only be cleaned and changed constantly.

After looking at the wounds of the wounded, Chi Yan finally let go of his hanging heart.

It wasn't until this time that his sanity came back.

"Where's the knife they carry?" Chi Yan asked the butler.

The butler wanted to report it a long time ago, but because Chi Yan didn't care about anything other than saving the lives of the wounded before, the butler kept silent. Now that Chi Yan asked, the butler quickly said, "I didn't find it on them."

"Either it was lost, or it was snatched away." The butler said his guess, "It should be that someone saw the knife when they were outside, and that's why someone became malicious."

Chi Yan pursed his lips tightly.

What he gave them to save their lives almost killed them.

Chi Yan asked: "Could it be a businessman?"

The butler whispered, "It should be."

For ordinary people, they haven't seen knives a few times, and they can't tell whether the knives are good or bad, they only feel that the colors are different.

But businessmen have sharp eyes.

Whether the knife is good or bad, they can tell at a glance.

Maybe they just wanted to steal the knife, after all, they would not be able to ask the source after killing Da He.

The most reliable guess is that the merchants stole the knives and were discovered by Dahe and the others.

But Dahe and the others didn't dare to kill, so the knife was taken away, and Dahe and the others could only escape with difficulty.

Chi Yan: "Wait until they wake up."

If it wasn't for the need for Dahe and the others to conceal their identities, Chi Yanda could wait for Dahe and the others to wake up, go find the nobles in charge of the big city, and arrest the merchants.

As long as those merchants are not particularly important to the local nobles, the other party will not refuse his request.

But the problem is, Chi Yan let Dahe and the others go because he didn't want to have anything to do with the territory.

As long as there is a relationship with the territory, the merchant will not be so free. Once other merchants know that he is a servant of a noble, they will keep a distance from him. Although many big merchants have nobles standing behind them, it is equivalent to a cooperative relationship , not affiliation.

Once a merchant has a subordinate relationship with the nobles, he will be repelled and encouraged in the merchant group.

If you can't squeeze into the merchant group, you can't get more information and resources.

The butler said, "My lord, I have a solution."

Chi Yan looked at the butler. He believed that the old butler had the wisdom of an old man. It was the wisdom condensed from life experience. He asked seriously, "Speak."

The steward looked serious: "If Dahe and the others can survive and walk around, we still have to let them go, but this time we can't show weakness, let Dahe and the others bring as many people as they can, and replace their weapons with ordinary weapons."

"Only then can they regain their footing."

Chi Yan's expression did not relax: "I want to change someone."

But he couldn't breathe, so he could only hold it in.

"And they have suffered such serious injuries, even if they are cured, they probably won't want to go again..."

But the housekeeper said: "My lord, they will definitely ask to go again."

Chi Yan didn't understand: "Why?"

The housekeeper stood beside Chi Yan, tall and straight like a tree, years did not bend his spine, he said with a smile: "I have encountered the same thing before."

At that time, he was just a little butler. When he first arrived at the lord's territory, the lord's personal servant didn't like him very much. He kept making trouble for him secretly, making all the servants ignore him. Compared with the new butler, the lord trusted him more. The servant by his side.

Once, he was forced into the barn by the valet and others.

Then he was punched, kicked and urinated all over.

In the end, the manservant stumbled and fell off the cliff, and he became the most trusted person of the lord.

Some people will be knocked down by hardships, but some people will have stronger beliefs after experiencing hardships.

He himself is the latter.

He also believed that Da He was also the latter.

Tribulation sometimes makes a person, but hatred will hone a person instead.

Suffering and hatred have made him, and perhaps Dahe will also be made.

It just depends on how Dahe will choose after waking up.

The author has something to say: About saltpeter, I checked the information on the Internet, but I can't guarantee that the information is correct. Readers who know about soil saltpeter mining and purification are welcome to correct it.
