There was a lot of light rain, and the mountain road was slippery. Liu Xi walked with difficulty in his straw coir raincoat and leaned on a wooden stick. The old wound on his shoulder was aching because of the rainy weather. Then there will be pain, and even the master can't cure it.

After passing the small hill ahead, we arrived at the entrance of Weijia Village. The last time I came here, I saw a doctor for a weak child in the village. I don't know how the child is taking care of now.

Suddenly hearing something vaguely, Liu Xi stopped in his tracks, mixed with the sound of raindrops patting on the bamboo hat, Liu Xi had to carefully identify it.The same sound came again, it seemed to be in pain, the breath was weak, intermittent, it seemed to come from the bushes in the side depression, could it be that some wild beast was injured and trapped?

Liu Xi decided to go and find out.Putting the basket on the side of the road, took off the coir raincoat and covered it, and carefully went down to the depression. Sure enough, I saw a faint red on the thorn grass, which should be the residual blood after being washed by the rain.Moving forward along the bloodstains, the messy vines and grass branches up to the waist appeared, and a man who was covered in mud and collapsed on the ground appeared in front of him.

Liu Xi hurried forward to check. The man's face was blue and he was almost unconscious. He clutched his stomach and let out a slight but painful groan. Because the clothes were dark in color and wet from the rain, no trace of blood could be seen, and several exposed spots were clearly visible on his body. knife wound.

However, there was no one around, and Liu Xi himself could not move this man out of the depression. There was no other way, so Liu Xi crawled back to the edge of the depression and stretched out his hand to grab the coir raincoat over him, and covered the man with the bamboo hat to keep out the rain. Jiacun rushed to find someone to help.

……

noon the next day

"...You...are? Where am I?" The man opened his eyes slightly and asked weakly.

"In Weijia Village." Liu Xi, who was stirring the fire and boiling the medicine, replied unhurriedly.

The man looked around slightly, the mud wall and the mud kang wooden window, the frame of the window was skewed and could not be completely sealed, sometimes a cool breeze would blow in through the gap, he was lying on the cotton mattress, but under the cotton mattress were straw mats and wooden boards, and touched again. Touching the cloth wrapped around her body and the medicine wrapped around her abdomen, "Brother saved me?"

"Just passing by." Liu Xi opened the lid of the medicine pot, looked at it, put it back on, and continued to fan the flames.

"Master Liu, let me bring some hot water." An old woman's voice sounded from outside the house.

Liu Xi quickly got up and opened the door, "Thank you, auntie."

"My lord, you're being polite. Just ask for anything you need. Don't take offense at places where people in the countryside are poor and poorly entertained." The old lady said respectfully.

"You are too kind, I have everything here."

"That's good. The meal will be ready in a while. If you finish your work, you can come over to eat."

"Okay, Aunt Lao is here."

Liu Xi carried the earthen pot filled with hot water into the house, and said to the man, "You should thank this family very well. It was the son of this family who carried you back from the other side of the mountain in the rain. There is also this house and the mattress on your body. It's all from this family."

"I will thank you very much in the future." The man said gratefully, "What about you, aren't you from this family?"

"I'm just a doctor passing by this village." Liu Xi poured a bowl of hot water and approached the man, "Are you a border guard?" The damaged robes can also be seen as military uniforms.

"Yes." The man replied softly.

Liu Xi slowly lifted the man up and made him lean against the wall, "Why were you injured and passed out in the mountains? Could it be that you are a deserter?"

The man took a few sips of water slowly, "Of course not. Dare I ask where the Wei Family Village is located?"

"Northeast of the capital of Qi Kingdom."

"I have actually arrived in the country of Qi... Brother, do you know about Rong Di's violation of the country?"

"Break the border? I haven't heard that there is a war at the border of Qi State." If so, Guangping should have mentioned it to himself yesterday.

"Rongdi's sneak attack was on the northern border of the main dynasty, and it has not yet spread to Qi. Rongdi raided the three passes of Minnan, Gucheng, and Lao'an half a month ago, and they formed a situation of encirclement. Ask for help. My team of brothers was ambushed by the enemy on the way, so they were injured. Then I got lost in the mountains and forests, and unexpectedly arrived in the country of Qi.”

"But you can't move around at all now. If you can't report back to the court, won't you miss the military situation?"

"It's okay, the other brothers in our team have already got rid of the enemy army, and should have arrived in the capital without any accident."

When a battle occurs, not only will the soldiers suffer, but the common people will also suffer. When Liu Xi thought of the corpses scattered all over the place, he always felt panicked, so he got up and poured out the decocted medicine, and then handed it to the man, "Will it affect the country of Qi this time? "

"The Prison Pass was originally set up to guard our dynasty and the country of Qi. If the pass is broken, it is inevitable that the country of Qi will be involved in the war." The man took the medicine and frowned as soon as he took a sip, "This medicine Why is it so painful."

"You can bear the pain of being stabbed in the stomach, but you can't bear this kind of pain?!" Liu Xi glared at the man, urging him to drink quickly.

"Uh..." The man finally swallowed all the medicine in one breath, and took a long breath through his nose, "Xu Ye, I haven't asked my brother's name yet."

He seemed to have heard this name before, Liu Xi tried to recall it but to no avail, thinking that he might have remembered it wrong. "My surname is Liu, please call me Brother Liu." Guangping once warned Liu Xi not to tell others his name at will, so Liu Xi only said his surname when he was practicing medicine, and never said his full name.

The man returned the medicine bowl to Liu Xi, and caught a glimpse of a small piece of jade pendant exposed from Liu Xi's belt, "Hmm... the jade on Brother Liu's waist is high-quality and exquisitely carved, but this panlong pattern is not available to ordinary people, right? ... ..."

Liu Xi hurriedly tucked the jade pendant back into his belt, "Brother Xu just took the medicine, let's sleep a little longer, I'm going to eat."

……

For the next two or three days, Liu Xi would treat the villagers in the village during the day, and return to his aunt's house at night to change Xu Ye's dressing.After all, Xu Ye was a soldier in ecstasy, and he was in good health. After recuperating for a few days, he was able to get out of bed and walk around. However, Liu Xi was afraid that his disturbed movement would hinder the healing of his wound, so he forced him to lie down for two more days.

But Xu Ye had a military order after all, and he had to return to the border to report before he fully recovered. As soon as Liu Xi allowed him to get out of bed, he bid farewell to Liu Xi and his aunt's family.

Liu Xi knew it was difficult, so he didn't force him to stay, and personally sent him to the entrance of the village.

"Brother Liu's kindness to Xu will never be forgotten in this lifetime, and he will definitely repay it in the future." Xu Ye clasped his hands to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi returned the salute, "Brother Xu, you don't need to worry about it. As a doctor, there is no reason for me to refuse to save you. Brother Xu is going to the land of wolves, everything is unpredictable, so you need to take care of yourself!"

Xu Ye appreciated Liu Xi's kindness, but smiled helplessly, "There is a shortage of medicines and stones at the border, and doctors are hard to find. The soldiers and the people have always had to resign themselves to fate."

Liu Xi was surprised by Xu Ye's unintentional words. The border conditions are so simple, and when a war breaks out, there must be many soldiers and people in need of medical treatment. A bold and selfish idea popped up in Liu Xi's mind: he wants to go to the border. .

He was bold because he had never been to a battlefield, and he didn't know what situation he would face. He just felt that it was his duty to make such a decision based on his enthusiasm for healing the wounded.

Selfishness is because he is afraid that he will not be able to return to the hospital for a while this time, Guangping will be very worried, and Qing'er's ass will suffer again.He really didn't want to hurt Qing'er because of his own affairs, but the situation was urgent and he had no choice but to feel sorry for Qing'er.

"Brother Xu, wait for me a moment." Before Xu Ye could reply, Liu Xi had already run back.

After a while, Xu Ye, who was waiting on the stone pier, saw Liu Xi walking quickly with a bamboo basket on his back and a bamboo hat in his hand. He got up and asked loudly, "Brother Liu, who is this?"

Liu Xi also replied loudly, "Go to the border with Brother Xu."

The author has something to say:

The main dynasty is not the name of the dynasty, but a title relative to Qi as a vassal state.

Hey, as for the name of this dynasty, I haven't been able to figure it out, so I just don't mention it...
