All rivers and mountains are safe

Shen Ming'an felt that the place was a little swollen and painful. Lu Ciheng told him that he might have been bitten when he touched the snake just now. He pulled his sleeve down to cover that place, " Water snakes are not poisonous, so they are fine."

"That has to be dealt with." But Lu Ciheng only knew that he should suck out the poisonous blood after being bitten by a poisonous snake, but he didn't know how to deal with being bitten by a non-venomous snake like a water snake.

He put the bamboo shoots he dug in the backyard, and took Shen Mingan to the old doctor's house.

The old doctor's house is in the west of the village, not too far away from them. From a distance, he saw the old doctor's son spreading herbs to dry on the bamboo flat frame, and a villager was looking for him to get the medicine.

The children in the village would all be given humble names when they were young, saying that it would be easy to support them.

The old man's son was named Heizhu because of his dark appearance. He was still called by the villagers in his 30s before he got a wife.

When Lu Ciheng saw him, he asked, "Where's your father?"

"Sleeping in, in it."

"Go and wake him up." Lu Ciheng took Shen Mingan's hand and walked inside.

Hei Zhu stammered and said: "My father, my father has a bad temper. When he is taking a nap, he will get angry if he is shouted at. If you have, what's the matter..."

Lu Ciheng didn't have the patience to listen to him talking like this without saying a few words and gasped for several times, so he simply passed him to the house to find someone.

"If you have anything, if you have anything, it's the same as looking for me." After Lu Ciheng had turned around and entered the back room, Hei Zhu struggled to finish what he wanted to say.

"Sit down." He beckoned Shen Mingan who was standing at the side to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and asked him stammeringly, "What, what's the matter?"

"I was bitten by a water snake on my hand." Shen Mingan put his wrist on the small table and said, "I want to ask how to deal with it."

"Let me see." Hei Zhu said as he pulled the clothes from Shen Mingan's wrists up to his elbows, and when he saw Shen Mingan's hands, he yelled, "What's wrong with your hands? That man looks so Fierce, did he bully you without seeing him, so he tied you up and beat you up?"

Shen Mingan didn't understand why, so Hei Zhu grabbed his wrist, tapped on several places on his arm, and said angrily: "Here, here, and here are all bruised and purple."

"No..." The bruises on his hands could only be caused by Lu Ciheng on the bed last night, maybe there were more bruises on his body, and Shen Mingan couldn't see it, so he didn't know that the marks on his hands were so obvious that they looked like they had been bruised. The extent to which people were beaten.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have let anyone see this. Shen Mingan pulled down his sleeves in shame and panic, and said softly: "...he didn't hit me."

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Hei Zhu didn't ask much although he was aggrieved. He scooped up a basin of water to wash the wound on Shen Mingan's hand, went to the yard to pick the cooling herbs to reduce swelling, chewed them and spit them on Shen Mingan's. on the wound.

When Lu Ciheng dragged the grumpy old man out, he saw Hei Zhu's big rough hands grabbing Shen Mingan's forearm covered with bruises, lowering his head and touching his mouth on it.

Lu Ciheng's subordinates suddenly tightened up, his eyes were gloomy, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing?!"

Hei Zhu raised his head, not understanding why he was so angry, and said in a daze, "Chu, deal with the wound."

Lu Ciheng stared at him viciously: "Why do you use your mouth to treat the wound?!"

Hei Zhu argued with him: "I, we are bitten by snakes here, this is how we deal with it..."

The old Langzhong's hand was almost broken by Lu Ciheng's pull. He fell asleep soundly and was woken up for no reason. Angrily, he raised his voice and said angrily: "Chewing herbs is the fastest way. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake like Zhuyeqing, you need to use a medicine pounder to pound the medicine slowly. Before you finish pounding the medicine, it will be poisonous." died."

The old man saw the marks on Shen Ming'an's hands and neck, so he didn't know the relationship between the two, but because he took 500 taels of silver from Lu Ciheng, he didn't dare to scold Lu Ciheng too much, and sneered coldly He: "If you really care so much, just take good care of him. He will be blind for a while and be bitten by a snake for a while. How can you be so careless and come to me every now and then. If you don't bother me, you still do!"

Since he was a child, no one except Lu Chengjing dared to scold him like that, but when Lu Ciheng saw the green herbal juice on Shen Mingan's forearm, although he was shocked, he also knew that he was ignorant, so he suppressed his anger and stared at Hei Mingan with malice. Zhu, after putting down Shen Mingan's sleeves, he calmed down after a while, and asked the old man to look into Shen Mingan's eyes.

The old man took Shen Ming'an's pulse, and then untied the white scarf on his head and opened his eyes to look, saying that Shen Ming'an's eyes recovered relatively quickly.

Lu Ciheng reluctantly asked the old man Shen Mingan's eyes in a kind manner, at least his speech was not as aggressive as before.

The old man still had a bad look at Lu Ciheng, and he snorted and said, "The blood in his brain is gradually improving, and he can already feel the intensity of the light. contour."

Because the old doctor treated Shen Mingan's eyes effectively, in the next period of time, as long as it doesn't rain or snow, Lu Ciheng will take Shen Mingan to the old doctor's house every two days, and ask him to help see how Shen Mingan's eyes are recovering. It's just that every time he goes there, he stays by Shen Mingan's side every step of the way, guarding against Hei Zhu like a thief.

Every evening when he came back from the old man's house, Lu Ciheng would take Shen Mingan's hand and walk slowly in the village. In the evening, the village would always be more lively, with cocks crowing and dogs barking, villagers sitting at the door of the house talking with their neighbors Laughing, and the noise of children chasing each other and playing.

The sun rises and the sun sets, it is plain and simple.

Later, every family lit up the smoke, and the food was fragrant. Some villagers would kindly invite them to have dinner together when they saw them.

At first, Shen Mingan thought it was Lu Ciheng who wanted to take a walk in the village, but after a few days, he found that they took basically the same route every day, not only in the village, but Lu Ciheng would also go to the snow mountain outside the village where they came. He walked in the same direction, and Lu Ciheng always stopped when he walked to a few specific places, as if to investigate and find something.

Shen Mingan walked with him in the village, feeling his hands were loosened as he walked, and there was still some residual warmth from Lu Ciheng's hands in his palms, he stood where he was, and asked puzzledly: "What are you doing? "

"Mark Li Xingyuan." Lu Ciheng said, "It's been so many days, if he's not dead, he should be found."
