Two days later, Yang Fan, who was dressed in rags and was in a mess, finally walked out of the woods.Looking at the peaceful village in the distance, the tormented Yang Fan almost burst into tears.These three days in the jungle had exhausted all his energy and strength.With a leg injury and a high level of alertness, he couldn't hold it anymore and closed his eyes and squinted for half an hour at most.In order to get out as soon as possible, he even groped his way in the dark at night.

After three days of primitive life, Yang Fan came out of the jungle completely changed, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Looking at the village in the distance, Yang Fan was very excited.After estimating the location of the lower village, he walked in that direction full of hope.Even though he was still on crutches, every step became firm and steady.

Yang Fan, who was in a happy mood, walked for half an hour, and suddenly a thatched cottage appeared in front of him.The thatched cottage is built on the edge of a bamboo grove. It is not big, and it is built with mud and thatch. There is an open-air stove at the door of the house.Although Yang Fan was a little puzzled, he was very happy.His legs are now able to walk or try not to walk. If someone lived here, he would not have to walk into the village.

After approaching the thatched cottage, Yang Fan stood at the door and raised his voice and asked, "Is anyone home?"

No one responded, and after a pause, Yang Fan continued to shout: "Excuse me, is anyone there?",

Still no one responded, Yang Fan hesitated, not knowing whether to go in and check the situation, or leave for the village.Looking at the crocks and wooden basins on the stove at the door, this thatched cottage should be inhabited.Now that the master is not at home, if I go in so rashly, I think I will be regarded as a thief, right?

After thinking about it, Yang Fan decided to give up and continue to the village.Although there is still a distance, but he has walked such a long way, and it is not short of this distance.Just as Yang Fan made up his mind and turned to leave, he suddenly heard a sound behind him.Turning around subconsciously, I saw a tall man walking out of the woods.

Seeing Yang Fan, the other party seemed surprised, opened his mouth, and said a bunch of words.

After traveling to this world, the most troublesome thing for Yang Fan is the dialects of various places, none of them.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and people from all over the world seldom communicated with each other. Over time, they each formed their own languages.In some places, the dialect is the same throughout the county, just with a different accent.However, in a mountainous and forested area like Chihu County, the transportation is more inconvenient, which leads to a relatively large language difference between them.For example, in Fuyuan County, the dialects of several nearby counties are similar, but in Luocheng, Xuancheng, it is a completely different language.The area where Yang Fan is now should still belong to the area between Yuncheng and Luocheng. No matter whether they speak the dialect that is biased towards Yuncheng or the dialect of Luocheng, Yang Fan can't understand.

Of course, in order to facilitate communication, the country has a designated official language.This vast continent had been unified for hundreds of years, so the four major kingdoms that split later all continued the original Mandarin of Tang Dynasty, which is the "Mandarin" that Yang Fan is familiar with.It's just that those who can speak Mandarin are all scholars who have gone to school, or businessmen who do business.Like ordinary people, most of them can only speak the local dialect because they don’t have access to it and have no chance to learn it.

The strong man in front of him obviously only knows the local dialect. Yang Fan pointed his fingers, but the other party didn't know if he understood.He stepped forward and grabbed Yang Fan's arm, as if he wanted to help Yang Fan walk.After all, he was a stranger, so Yang Fan was full of vigilance at first.The fierce-looking strong man in front of him would probably subconsciously feel that he is not a good person at first glance.But when he stepped forward, Yang Fan saw the cautiousness in his eyes.As if he was afraid that Yang Fan would get angry, he stepped forward a little bit, spreading his hands as if to say that he had no malicious intentions.

"Thank you." Being supported by the other party into the thatched hut, Yang Fan raised his head and thanked him sincerely.

He should have understood, the strong man rubbed his rough hands in embarrassment.Yang Fan didn't expect him to be so shy while looking fierce, so he couldn't help smiling.

Because of the other party's performance, Yang Fan has a good impression of him.After letting go of his guard, Yang Fan decided to ask him for help.So he pointed to his injured leg and made a gesture of applying medicine: "Doctor, doctor..."

After speaking, he took off the two hares and pheasants hanging from his body and handed them to the strong man.The other party was taken aback again, and repeatedly declined.Yang Fan insisted on putting the vines tied with wild animals into his hands.While gesturing to the injured leg: "Doctor, heal the injury." Then he gestured to eat: "Eat."

He caught these two wild animals in the mountains. He was lucky yesterday and set a trap to catch two hares and one pheasant.Yang Fan ate a rabbit, and tied the rest with vines to hang on his body.Now he wants the strong man to help him see the doctor to see the wound, and these two are just the reward.

The other party seemed to understand, and his face was a little embarrassed.After thinking for a while, he nodded to Yang Fan, then pointed to the door, and said two words in an awkward pronunciation: "Doctor." Although what he said was not standard, Yang Fan still understood, and couldn't help but nodded happily: "Yes. Yes, doctor!"

Finally, the communication was successful, and the strong man turned and left.Yang Fan sat in the thatched hut, playing around.The thatched hut is very simple, except for a wooden bed and two chairs, not even a table.There was a box in the corner of the room, and there were bows and arrows and knives hanging on the wall. It seemed that the other party was a hunter.After knowing his identity, Yang Fan also understood why the big man wanted to live alone in the bamboo forest far away from the village.

The ancients believed that the mountains had guardian gods, and the hunters lived by hunting, carrying too many lives on their bodies, and offended the mountain gods who guarded the creatures in the mountains.Therefore, people think that Orion has committed a lot of crimes and will go to hell after death.They are afraid that if they get close, they will get bad luck, so ordinary villages reject Orion.Therefore, the Orion should either live far away from the village, or simply build a house in the mountains to live.

Yang Fan, who was left alone in the thatched hut, turned the house inside and out, and he was not polite.Leaning on crutches, he fetched water and washed his face, then tidied up his clothes.However, the clothes were scraped by the branches in the woods and almost turned into strips. Not only were they torn, but they were also very dirty. The white underwear inside was so dirty that the original color could not be seen.So tidying up is nothing more than making the cloth strips look tidier.

After Yang Fan waited for more than half an hour, the strong man brought an old man with a gray beard into the thatched cottage.When Yang Fan saw the medicine box on the old man's back, he was finally relieved, and it seemed that the other party really understood.And he didn't expect there to be a doctor in this small village, Yang Fan thought he would go to a nearby town for treatment.

What surprised Yang Fan even more was that the doctor actually knew a little bit of Mandarin.Although it has not been used for a long time, the speech is bumpy and the pronunciation is not standard.But after repeating it twice, Yang Fan even guessed that Dai Meng could still understand the general meaning.

The old man said that his surname is "liu", and this is the home village of "liu".Because of the pronunciation problem, Yang Fan really didn't know whether it was Liu or Liu.And this old doctor whose surname is not known is Liu or Liu, said that his calf was indeed broken. Although Yang Fan had a simple treatment, his actions in the past few days affected the healing of the wound, so the injury was a bit serious.

The old doctor re-treated Yang Fan's wound, and then skillfully tied the wooden board that fixed his calf.In the end, he also applied some medicine to the scabbed wound on Yang Fan's head.After everything was dealt with, he told Yang Fan that he was lucky while washing his hands.There are wild beasts in the mountains near here, and there are quite a few of them.Yang Fan wandered inside with injuries for three days, but he came out safe and sound.

After showing Yang Fan the injury, the old doctor said he would come back tomorrow, and then he took a pot of wine from a hare given by the Orion, and walked down the mountain with a smile.

After the old doctor left, the Orion babbled again.Although Yang Fan didn't understand, he probably guessed what he meant, which should be to let him recover from his injuries here with peace of mind.

Yang Fan is very grateful to this Orion who easily took him in, but it is impossible for him to rest in peace.It is said that it takes a hundred days for a bone to be injured, and he has to stay in bed for at least three months with this fracture before he can get out of bed.And the situation outside is not good now, it is obviously not wise for him to travel with his injuries.But for three months... the children shouldn't worry about dying?

Yang Fan sighed, but he also knew that it was useless for him to be anxious in the current situation.At least for now, he must stay here to recuperate.

The next day, sure enough, the old doctor wandered over with the medicine box on his back.After showing Yang Fan the injury, he took the medicine again.Seeing that it was still early, he simply asked Orion to open a jar of wine.Then, sitting next to Yang Fan, he drank with Orion and chatted with Yang Fan all over the world.

During the chat, Yang Fan probably learned some information.

For example, this old doctor studied medicine with the barefoot doctor who came to the village when he was ten years old. Although his medical skills are not very good, he is quite famous in this area for his years of experience.Now, his son has inherited his mantle by opening a clinic in the town.The old doctor returned to the village where he was born because he liked rural life.

For example, Orion was picked up by the old Orion in the mountains. The old Orion adopted this abandoned child without getting married all his life.Seven or eight years ago, the old hunter went hunting in the mountains once, and he never came back since then.Orion went into the mountains many times to search, and later found the bow and arrow of the old Orion. There was a pool of blood near the bow and arrow, and Orion also found several tufts of hair.If I'm not mistaken, it's the hair on the tiger's body.Since then, Orion has lived here by himself. He is 35 this year and still hasn't got married.

For another example, this village, which I don't know whether it is Liujia Village or Liujia Village, has thirty or forty families living in it.This year is dry, and the crops in the fields are not good.Seeing that it was still not raining, the faces of the villagers became more and more sad every day.The only fortunate thing is that the village is remote and far from the town, so no refugees came here.The old doctor heard from his son who runs a clinic in the town that a group of refugees came to the town recently, and those refugees often went to nearby villages to steal things, and now the people in the town are clamoring to drive the refugees away.
