The rivers and lakes are full of vests

Chapter 4 Temporary Settlement

The two went back to the alley together, Ding Yi kept looking at Fu Peibai's hanging arm, with a hesitant expression.

After a long time, he took off his straw sandals, took out a string of copper plates from under the insole, and waved at Fu Pei, "Go, brother will take you to see the doctor."

Fu Peibai was a little surprised, this man has been hiding such a hard copper plate under his feet, isn't he too nervous to walk.

She waved her hand and declined, "No need."

They had only known each other for a few hours, and Ding Yi was willing to give her "all of his family wealth" to see a doctor. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but since Huailiu Village's parents were drugged and killed, she was more likely to interact with others. A layer of defense and vigilance.

"Oh, don't be coy, I said, I hit it off with you, hurry up and take a look at this arm with me, what if you suffer from some kind of disease and become disabled, what to do, besides, didn't you say Do you want to learn martial arts? How can you hold a weapon when your arm is broken?"

Fu Peibai's eyes flickered, and she was shaken. After a while, she responded softly, "Thank you very much. I will repay you a hundred times in the future."

Ding Yi didn't take these words to heart, and took Fu Peibai to the West Market. The clinic was closed, but he knew there must be people there.

After walking around for a quarter of an hour, the two stopped outside a simple farmyard.Ding swaggered open the courtyard door, and seeing that the wooden house was brightly lit, he kicked open the wooden door and shouted, "Old man Wen, here I come."

The white-bearded old man in the room was holding a small object and studying it carefully. He was gasped by the noise. He blew on his white beard, saw who was coming, and pushed Ding Yi out, " Get off, you stinky brat might scare this old man to death one day, get out of here quickly."

Ding Yi smiled, "Don't, don't, I came to see you for business, and I will buy you wine to accompany the crime some other day."

"You little beggar still buys wine, you are blowing your hair out, you have something to say, and the old man has not solved the Eight-Sided Dice yet."

Ding Yi saw it, and quickly pulled the thin man standing in the yard over, pointed, "Here, show him if the arm is broken or something."

The white-bearded old man glanced lightly at Fu Peibai, and his tone softened, "Come in."

The three of them entered the house. The small house can be described as a house with bare walls. Except for the table and chairs in the middle, there is also a dilapidated cabinet. It barely counts as a "bed".

"Sit down and try to raise your arms as much as you can."

Hearing this, Fu Peibai sat down and tried to raise his arm with all his strength, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he felt a sharp pain in his elbow.

"Okay", the old man waved his hand to stop, lifted Fu Peibai's soft arm, groped up and down the arm, and finally put it on the joint, and said inexplicably: "Look over there."

When Fu Pei and Bai Ding turned their heads together, the old man pressed her arm with one hand, and pushed up the joint with the other hand, and the dislocation of the joint recovered with a crisp click sound.

Fu Peibai groaned and almost cried out, but finally he clenched his teeth and swallowed, but his face was pale and a little cold sweat was still oozing from his forehead.

The old man glanced at her and said strangely: "You girl can bear it."

"Girl?" Ding Da opened his mouth and asked incredulously, "Are you a girl?"

Fu Peibai withdrew his arm and replied calmly: "I never said I was a man."

Ding Yi stood up, turned around Fu Peibai and looked around, "You, this, this, this, this is not like a girl's house."

The old man smiled and said: "This girl's bones are indeed longer than those of ordinary women, and her facial features are more heroic. No wonder you admit your mistake."

Ding Yiyi was still a little unacceptable for a while, his expression seemed to be deflated, and he asked the old man after a long time, "How did you see that?"

The old man stroked his beard and said proudly: "What's the matter? This old man is the number one medical sage in the world. He has seen countless people. This man, I can see every hair and every inch of bone on a business trip. Women can pretend to be men, but The root bone cannot be changed, ordinary people can't see it, but this old man can see through it at a glance."

Ding Yi rolled his eyes, leaned close to Fu Peibai and whispered: "Don't pay attention to him, he's dreaming, what the hell are you talking about? The medical sage will pay you back."

After the old man finished talking about his past events eloquently, with a relaxed mind, he watched Fu Peibai staring intently at the eight-sided exquisite dice on the table, and asked, "Can you play?"

Fu Peibai stretched out a hand silently, picked up the strangely shaped dice, flipped up and down with his fingers nimbly, and rotated with each side of the dice. After a while, each side returned to its original position, and the numbers engraved on it were like No two.

The old man's eyes were wide open, and he grabbed the dice and looked it up and down. The kit Kat that he hadn't solved after several nights was cracked so easily?

"You, how did you do it?"

Fu Peibai lowered his eyelids and stared at the corner of the table, "My younger brother likes to play with these, and I used to play with him a lot. If you watch a lot, you will naturally get used to it."

Just as the old man was about to ask, your younger brother is also good at cracking it, Ding Yi quietly tugged at his arm, and reminded in a low voice, "He's from the west."

When the old man heard this, his excited expression faded, and he scratched his head and said, "It took the old man three days to untie it. I didn't expect you to crack it all at once, little girl. The old man really admires it."

"It's nothing, this thing has skills, familiar skills, and other similar objects can be unlocked by analogy."

"Oh? There is such a shortcut, tell the old man quickly."

"Hey, old man Wen, I brought someone here to treat your illness, not to be your teacher. This arm is finished, you have to look at this face, these eyes are so swollen, what if you go blind? , and if there are any internal injuries, you should take a quick look." After finishing speaking, Ding Yi took out the string of copper plates from his pocket and put them on the table with a snap.

As soon as the old man slapped his forehead, he also knew that he was too excited for a while, and that the treatment was urgent right now, so he ran to a large vat outside the hospital and fumbled for a while, then returned to the house with some dried herbs, and then went back to the house in front of the two of them. Put the herbal medicine into his mouth and chew it, after a while he spit it out, and applied the crushed herbal medicine on the wound on Fu Peibai's face with a snap.

Ding Yi frowned and shouted: "It's disgusting!"

The old man didn't take it seriously, and said while chewing: "Your boy was beaten in the head the year before last, and this old man also treated you like this."

Ding Yi hastily poohed a few times.

Fu Peibai didn't move, without blinking her eyelids, she just sat there quietly and let the old man apply the medicine to her.

After the medicine was applied, she thanked her: "Thank you, old man."

"Small things, not enough to say thank you."

When Ding saw that the wounds were all healed, he urged, "Old man, take your pulse and see if there are any internal injuries?"

In fact, there is no need to check the pulse if there is an internal injury. The old man saw Fu Peibai like this, with a sallow complexion, dull eyes, and chapped lips. He guessed it was just malnutrition.

His expression became hesitant, and after a long time of tangling, he went to the courtyard and untied a piece of dried cooking meat.

Ding Yi's eyes glowed, and his gaze closely followed the cooking meat.

The old man sighed, and dangled the cooking meat in front of Fu Peibai's eyes, "These two liang of meat are the best streaky pork belly. I have kept them for several months and I am not willing to eat them. Now I have a deal with you. You teach me how to eat them." Crack Kit Kat, how about I give this meat to you?"

Fu Peibai didn't speak, but Ding Yi spoke hastily, agreeing for her, "Okay! Cook it quickly."

The old man kicked him lightly, "None of your business, I'll ask the girl, this meat is not for you."

Fu Peibai looked at Ding Yi, met his expectant gaze, and nodded slightly.

Soon, smoke rose from the small farmyard in the middle of the night.

The three of them took the empty wine jar as a bench and sat together, looking at the black dish on the stone bench.

Ding Yi couldn't get down his chopsticks, so he asked suspiciously, "Can this be eaten?"

The old man was also a little mysterious. He could only guarantee that the dishes were cooked through, but he couldn't guarantee the rest, but at least he did it by himself, so he couldn't lose face, so he took the lead and stretched out his chopsticks.

"In short, I can't eat you to death."

He put a piece of blackened cooking meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The meat was so hard that it almost knocked out his old teeth. Because the skin was burnt and the taste was still slightly bitter, he quickly took a mouthful of cold corn bread. He swallowed vaguely.

Then he said nonchalantly: "Well, not bad, it seems that the old man's cooking skills are getting better."

Ding Yi hesitantly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. After a while, he said with a ferocious expression, "Bah, what is this? Is it meat or a stone? Old man Wen, are you fooling us with stones?"

While the two were bickering, Fu Peibai had already started to eat calmly, taking a mouthful of steamed buns in one bite, eating at a slow pace until his eyes became red and his throat choked.

This should be the best meal she has eaten in the first half of the month. During the first half of the month, she lived and slept in the open, relying on wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy her hunger. Sometimes she was so hungry that she almost gnawed on the bark.

Seeing this, the two of them stopped arguing and shut their mouths. The three of them quietly finished the plate of cooked meat on the ground.

After eating, the old man couldn't wait to pull Fu Peibai back into the house, took out a big box from the corner, put it on the ground as if showing off a spoil, opened the box, and waved his arms proudly, "These are the kits I've collected over the years Things, the one on the left is cracked, and the one on the right is not cracked, please help me see, girl."

"You old man, don't look at the time anymore, and the landlord's house is not so oppressive, Fu, Fu..." Ding Yi scratched his head, for a moment he didn't know what to call him, now Knowing that she is a girl, naturally she can't be called a brother.

"Here, what's your name?"

"Just call me Peibai."

"Just calling you by your name is a lot of life. Seeing how many years you are younger than me, I will call you Xiaobai from now on."

Ding Yi continued: "Then Xiaobai, let's go twice, it's been half the night, and it's time to rest."

The old man glared at him, "Where are you going, back to your broken alley with air leaks all around? Please, brat, she is a girl, men and women are different, you still want to sleep with her to take advantage of her."

Ding Yi's eyes widened, "How is it possible? I have always regarded Xiao Bai as a brother. It's not like she has nowhere to go, and she can only be wronged by me. Although I, Ding Yi, am just a little beggar , but you can walk straight and sit upright, and you will never take advantage of other people's dangers to think anything out of the ordinary, Xiaobai, don't worry."

Before Fu Peibai could speak, the old man said again: "No, no, otherwise, my side, look at it, it used to be a herbal medicine house, but now it's vacant, and it can barely sleep after tidying it up, so Miss Fu put it away." Let me live here temporarily, so I can ask you if you are okay."

"You're biased, old man. I begged you so many times to let me sleep in the past, and you refused to do it. Now you let Xiaobai come, you this, this, this." Ding was at a loss for words. Why come.

"Go, go, what's the matter with you, you don't take a bath for ten days and a half months, you smell so bad, I let you live because I want to kill the old man, and you are a man, how can you compare with the girl's house, man There is nothing wrong with taking the sky as your cover and the earth as your hut, hurry up, or I will drive people away if you don’t leave."

The two exchanged lips and tongues, and Fu Peibai didn't have time to interrupt at all. She wanted to say that she didn't need it, she was not that delicate, and she could just sleep in the alley.

In the end, the issue of her whereabouts was finalized between the two chattering, and Fu Peibai slept in the old man's herbal medicine house.

Naturally, she had no objection, it was a great thing to get a shelter from the wind and rain.

After Ding Yi left, she lifted the arm she had just connected, and made a standard thank you, recalling the salute style her father taught her.

"Thank you, old man."

Looking at Fu Peibai's thin body, the old man knew without asking what kind of accidents and tribulations he had encountered all the way here. He said kindly, "It's okay girl, I haven't asked your full name yet? What's your name?"

"Fu Peibai."

The old man chuckled twice, "My name is Wen Xuefeng, you can just call me Uncle Wen on weekdays."

"Yes, thank you Wen Bo."
