[Ting Yu] Abandoned in the wild

44. New Healer

After a good day's rest, Zhiyuan woke up early in the morning. The herbs that were dried yesterday finally got rid of the moisture accumulated in half a month.He was relieved to see his precious medicine recovering to normal.Putting the medicinal herbs prepared for today's use in his animal skin bag, he returned to the old priest's house after breakfast, where the wounded still needed to be healed.Especially Luke and his son, who were devoured by the Bragg bug, have not shown any signs of awakening until now.

As soon as he walked into the tribal square, he saw a person running out of the old priest's house in a panic from a long distance away.

"Sawyer? You're just right, why are you running so fast?" As a pharmacist, Zhiyuan saw that people's instinct is to pay attention to the body first.

When Sawyer saw him when he heard the voice, he turned around and pulled him away, and at the same time said out of breath: "Go and see, Uncle Luke and Handa seem to be dying soon."

"what?"

The two rushed all the way into the priest's house, and immediately heard the sad cries of Father Handa and Boda.Zhiyuan pushed aside the crowd and walked in, and saw that the two people who had only had a fever last night turned pale and blue, and their lips showed a strange purple color.

"How could this be?" Zhi Yuan frowned slightly, and walked over to check the wounds of the two.

Those bitten wounds only bleed out a faint red blood at first, but when I looked at it now, I found that all the wounds had festered, and yellow mucus continued to flow out, and the smell was also very foul.

Much like... much like the smell of those bugs that day.

Zhiyuan lost his mind all of a sudden, it was the first time he had seen these insects, and the treatment of wounds was just done according to the usual method.But now it seems that these commonplace remedies cannot heal the wounds caused by those Bragg worms.

He turned around and glanced at the crowd, just in time to see Doka bringing firewood and watching around, so he asked him to run back to the stream and call Sanliu over, wanting to see with him if there was any other way.

As soon as Boda heard his words, he immediately yelled, "Aren't you the pharmacist of the tribe? Why can't you heal Handa and Daddy's injuries? Last night I told them to eat some Cabernet Sauvignon to heal their illnesses." , but you said you need to apply medicine to the wound first. Now that people are getting more and more serious, what kind of heart do you have?"

With such a strong and unreasonable argument from him, Zhiyuan wished he could walk away immediately, and simply let those two people die.The Red Flame Bead Boda mentioned is a spicy fruit that grows in the forest outside the tribe, and everyone uses it to keep out the cold on weekdays.But Luke, Handa and his son had wounds all over their bodies, and the flesh was already rotten. Eating such stimulating fruit would only make the wounds worse. Of course, he couldn't agree.

But Boda, who doesn't understand anything, is now looking for trouble for others when he has no choice, which is really annoying.

"That's fine." Zhiyuan didn't quarrel with him, picked up his pocket bag and turned around to leave, "Since you think I don't have this ability, then you can cure it yourself. The old priest still has some fruits of Chi Yanzhu at home." , you can take it for them to eat as much as you want. It’s just that I’ve said it before, if you eat people to death, you will bear the responsibility.”

"You want to leave after treating him like this?" Boda would not let him go, but when he saw him turn around, he immediately grabbed his arm, as if he would not let go.

Zhiyuan was dragged away by him, turned around slightly, looked at him with a pair of cold eyes, and said sharply, "If you really care about Handa, why didn't you rush over when he was eaten by bugs that day? How about helping him take out the worms? You dared to run over after seeing someone save him. What kind of partner are you? You put your own life more important than your partner. Don’t act like your partner is the most important thing at this time. , looks disgusting."

Zhiyuan has never been a good-natured person, now that he has been reprimanded like this, there is nothing nice to say.The sharp and sharp language made Boda speechless for a while.

"you……"

"Okay." Handa's father, who was on the other side, was old after all, and he was much better than the impulsive and narrow-minded Boda in dealing with problems.

After scolding him with his eyes, the old man turned to look at Zhiyuan, "Luke and Handa are like this, we are also worried. Zhiyuan, you are the pharmacist of the tribe, and no one here knows herbs better than you. Whatever it takes to save them."

The so-called pharmacist, even a profession in the tribe, can be regarded as a responsibility.Back then, Zhiyuan's uncle entrusted him with the work of being a pharmacist and went out to wander alone. Although Zhiyuan was proud, he was also hard-hearted and soft-hearted, and he had been working as a pharmacist for so many years with all his heart.

Now that an old man said so, it was really hard for him to turn around and leave in front of him with two injured patients who were clearly exhaling more air than inhaling.

Just as he was holding back his sulking, there was a noise outside the door, and a group of three or six people who were notified to come came in, followed by the old priest who was worried to see.

"What's the matter?"

"Hi Priest." All the people saluted him respectfully.

Zhiyuan said: "The wounds on their bodies don't seem to be healed by ordinary herbal medicine. Now that the medicine has been applied overnight, the wounds have not only not improved, but even worse." As he spoke, he walked over to uncover one of the wound wrappers. The animal hide, revealing the festering wound underneath.

Sanliu walked over and looked Luke and his son up and down, and suddenly said: "They are poisoned, maybe the larvae of Bragg are poisonous, so their wounds cannot heal."

"Poisoned?" Everyone was taken aback.

The old priest was astonished and asked, "Are those bugs poisonous?"

Sanliu was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.The ones he had seen before were all giant Bragg worms, and the people who were touched by it were still alive. Who would have known that the fangs of this thing were actually poisonous.Now that he saw the situation of Luke and his son, he made such a guess.

"Then what should we do now? Is there any way to detoxify?" Father Handa who was listening on the side asked anxiously.

Sanliu and Zhiyuan looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Everyone encountered this bug for the first time, and it was only because of the current situation of Luke and his son that they knew it was poisonous.And for this detoxification method, they asked where to find it for a while.And even if they have time to find suitable herbs, can Luke and his son wait?

Everyone looked at the two who were already dying, and couldn't help but sighed.A sad atmosphere spread in the room for a while, and Father Handa and Boda, who felt hopeless, squatted beside them and wept bitterly.The other injured people looked at this situation and didn't feel a little sad.

At this moment, Okku, who had been building the fence in front, suddenly walked in, his eyes rolled around among the crowd, and he came to the side of the old priest.

"Greetings, Priest." He saluted, and then said, "There is a person outside the gate of the tribe. Ah Ting asked me to invite you to take a look."

"People?" The old priest frowned, "What are you doing?"

"He said he came to ask for food?"

"..."

When the old priest and Zhiyuan Sanliu rushed to the gate of the newly built wall, they saw a man standing there carrying a huge animal skin bag, covered in dirt and hair, covering most of his face, with a calm expression. look.

"Have you encountered any difficulties? Young man." The old priest narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man who appeared suddenly.

The other party turned around slowly, the overly long hair covered his face, and he could only vaguely see the corners of the other party's lips slightly raised.

"I'm just an ordinary wanderer. When I walked through this grassland, I found that the tribe not far in front of me was deserted, so I found this place to find some food." But his attitude and tone seemed as casual as if he was just chatting with people.

The old priest was kind in his heart, and when he heard what he said, he turned to Zhiyuan beside him and said, "Go and give him something to eat."

Zhiyuan stared at the man in front of him for a while, then looked at Chen Ting and the others who were silent but wary, and wanted to understand something.

"Where do you come from?" He didn't follow the old priest's wishes, but instead walked a few steps forward to the man.

"It's far away." The man looked into his eyes and replied lightly.

"It's very far, how far is it? You always have to tell me where you are, you don't even have a hometown, do you?" Zhiyuan's words were originally provocative, intending to provoke this man to try some.

Unexpectedly, the other party was completely unmoved by his words, just glanced at him, and said, "Have you ever left this tribe?"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhi Yuan asked back.

The man hooked his lips and smiled, but for some reason, it gave off an indescribable sense of irony, "You haven't even left this tribe, and if I tell you my hometown, how can you judge what I said is right? Still not right?"

"You..." Zhi Yuan was silenced by the man's words, and stared angrily at him with wide eyes.

Sanliu watched from behind for a while, and after looking at Chen Ting, he came out, patted Zhiyuan who was furious, and smiled at him.

Then he looked at the man, "You are right, the world is so big, if you really make up a random place, we really have no way of knowing. Since you can say this, I would like to believe that at least you are not a liar. Then Just tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"

As soon as he said this, the people who didn't know the inside story and the old priest were shocked.

"Sanliu, what do you mean by that?" The old priest asked puzzled.

Sanliu looked the man up and down, and said, "Priest, do you think he looks like someone who is hungry and can't find food? This man is tall and muscular. Although his clothes are tattered and dirty, he can still be seen from his face. With a good look, it can be seen that he can definitely guarantee his own food source. How can such a person come to our tribe to ask for food?"

As soon as he said this, all the people looked at this unexpected visitor with sudden enlightenment. After careful observation, they found that it was exactly what Sanliu said.

"Who are you?" After being attacked by cannibals and Bragg bugs before, the old priest was really afraid that such a thing would happen again.

The man was stared at by everyone like this, but he didn't show any panic, and still met Sanliu's gaze calmly.It wasn't until a long while later that he suddenly burst out laughing.

"You are really good." He looked at Sanliu and said.

Immediately, he turned to look at the priest, "I hope you believe that I am not malicious at all. I am really a very ordinary wanderer, but in the process of wandering, I have experienced a lot of things that you people who live in the tribe have never experienced. Things. When I went to that tribe before, I saw traces left by a very lethal insect that I had encountered before, so I followed the traces to find them. I thought I would see the same miserable situation, but I didn’t expect I actually saw you building a city wall. To be honest, I have passed through many places, and many tribes have no way to resist these insects, but you have escaped the disaster. It just so happens that I am also tired of wandering, so I want to join you."

"You want to join Yanxi?" The old priest was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to make such a request.

"Yes." The man nodded, and said again: "But don't worry, I won't make the request in vain. Since you have also been attacked before, I don't know if anyone was injured, I can treat the wounds after being eaten by insects." Poisonous injury, I don’t know if this counts as a condition for me to join the tribe.”

"Can you detoxify the Bragg bug?" Sanliuyi was shocked when he heard him say it.

"Yeah." The man said, taking out a plant with small white flowers from the animal skin bag he carried, "This herb grows near the deep holes where the bugs hide, and is often left by the saliva that the larvae pass by. Nourish, and this plant can detoxify."

"Great." The priest said happily, "It happens that two of us have been injured, please help to heal them."

"Priest." Zhi Yuan hurriedly stopped him when he heard this, "Now is the time of danger, how can we let a stranger come in rashly, just in case..."

"Eh..." As soon as Zhi Yuan said, the old priest hesitated again.

The man stared at Zhi Yuan's provocative gaze for a while, then suddenly turned to Chen Ting, meeting his always indifferent eyes.

"What do you say?"

Chen Ting and him looked at each other for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, "Welcome to the Yanxi tribe!"

When he said this, everyone was taken aback.

"Ah Ting." Zhi Yuan shouted at him dissatisfied.

Chen Ting shook his head, "It's okay, he won't be a cannibal."

The man smiled slightly when he heard him say this, "Thank you for your trust."

With that said, he picked up his things and walked towards the tribe beyond Zhiyuan who was still full of resentment.The old priest took another look at Chen Ting from behind, and after he nodded in approval, he followed the man towards his room with a cane.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." Sanliu who was quiet for a long time suddenly said.

The man stopped, turned his back to the crowd and said, "My name is An Yichen!"
