The little old man found someone to write a tombstone for Niu Dawa and to dig a grave. In addition, Niu Dawa's body was really stiff and cold, so Zhang Xiaozhu thought that Niu Dawa was already dead, so he had to dig a grave and bury her. It’s over. At this time, when I heard the little girl say that Niu Dawa was still alive, she almost jumped up with excitement. She hurriedly wiped away her nose and tears and explored Niu Dawa's injuries.
As soon as he untied Niu Dawa's shirt, the hair all over Zhang Xiaozhu's body started to explode. He saw that Niu Dawa's chest was full of wounds, and was being bandaged with some rags, which were already soaked black with blood.
Bloody water seeped out from the gaps in the rag strips, giving off a stench.
puff--
Zhang Xiaozu was so angry that he spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
The festering and rotten wounds stabbed into his heart like knives, causing his whole heart to clench into a ball in pain. He didn't dare to think about what kind of suffering and torture Niu Dawa had gone through these days.
"Young man, are you okay?" Seeing Zhang Xiaopou vomiting blood, the little old man asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
"Nothing can happen to me!"
Zhang Xiaozu waved his hand and responded. Although he was angry and anxious in his heart, his brain was sober. He knew that nothing would happen to him. If something happened to him, who would save Niu Dawa.
However, he was determined to save Niu Dawa, but for a while he was helpless with Niu Dawa's injuries. He has never learned any medical knowledge and can only do simple bandaging, but this is obviously not enough to solve the problem at hand.
"Hey, let me take a look." The goatee man on the side suddenly sighed, walked forward and knelt down next to Niu Dawa, and stretched out two fingers to take Niu Dawa's pulse.
The little old man was overjoyed when he saw this and asked happily: "Great, sir, are you a doctor?"
"I don't dare to be called 'sir'. I've only learned a little bit about it." The man with the goatee said.
Zhang Xiaozu said anxiously: "Please save my brother's life, sir. I will agree to any conditions."
"Hey -" the goatee man shook his head and let out a long sigh, took back the finger that checked his pulse, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to save him, it's just that he was injured too badly. He is hanging with only one breath left. At any time - maybe ——Hey——you’d better go on——what about that.”
The man with the goatee pointed to the half-dug grave, implying that Niu Dawa was hopeless, so it was better to continue taking care of his funeral arrangements.
"Sir, is there nothing we can do?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked in a hoarse voice.
The goatee man frowned and said, "It's not impossible."
"Sir, you are righteous. Save my brother. From now on, Zhang Xiaopou's life will be yours." Zhang Xiaopou knocked his head on the ground and bowed to the man with the goatee.
"Get up and listen to what I have to say." The goatee man said, "He is extremely injured. If my observation is correct, he has experienced at least six or seven life-and-death battles, with internal injuries plus external injuries, and injuries upon injuries. However, he never received proper treatment, and his vitality was severely damaged, which continued to worsen. Coupled with the long-term hunger and thirst, his body was unable to receive nutrients and even the most basic water, and it was already shaky. The dilapidated body will naturally collapse."
Zhang Xiaozu slapped himself twice and cursed: "I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
Thinking that Niu Dawa was seriously injured and starving, even a sip of water was a luxury, but he was enjoying the big fish and meat on the top of the snow-capped mountains. He felt so guilty and uncomfortable that he even wanted to stab himself. Two knives for myself.
"You can't save him even if you slap your face to pieces." The goatee man glared at him angrily and said, "Although he only has one breath left, he still has a glimmer of hope. He's just afraid - afraid - "
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Xiaozu asked anxiously.
"I'm just afraid that we won't be able to save him." The goatee man said, "For now, let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about the simplest water first. His wounds have festered and oozed pus, and he urgently needs a lot of water to clean them and prevent them from rotting. The poison invades the organs, but where can we get a lot of clean water?"
"I know -" Zhang Xiaozu opened his mouth to say that he knew where there was water, but considering that the cave was so long, it would take several days or even more than ten days to go back and forth. Niu Dawa would definitely not be able to hold on for so long, so he said When he got to his mouth, he swallowed it back and asked, "Apart from water?"
"Let's put it this way." The man with the goatee clapped his fingers and said one by one: "Water, food, a root of at least a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, medicine for external injuries, medicine for internal injuries, plus a pill for strengthening the body and cultivating the essence.
Water and century-old wild ginseng must be obtained immediately, so that he can be hung up without letting go. If you have these two things, it can buy you half a day to think of other things.
But how easy is it to get these things?
Not to mention anything else, just one pill of Strengthening the Origin and Building the Yuan, when there is no famine, costs two hundred taels of silver each. Now that the earth is exhausted and everything is withering, medicinal resources must be in extremely short supply, and the price may be tripled, or even More.
Haha, we can't even drink water, where can we get six hundred taels of silver? "
"What - what should I do?" After hearing this, the little old man sat down on the ground, his features squeezed together in worry.
"Grandpa, sell me. If you sell me, I will have money. I can save my benefactor." The little girl suddenly tugged on the corner of the little old man's clothes and said, biting her teeth, with a look in her eyes that was as old as hers. Incompatible bravery and determination.
"My silly granddaughter." The little old man hugged the little girl into his arms and said with tears: "Do you know what they bought the child for? They bought it to eat! Grandpa can't even die. Sell you to others as food!"
The little girl turned pale and was frightened by the little old man's words, but she clenched her fists and said, "I-I'm not afraid! As long as I can save my benefactor, I'm willing to do anything."
"Little girl, you are so thin that you are only bones. There is not a ounce of meat on your body. Even a fool knows how to buy meat. Who would buy you?" The man with the goatee looked at the little girl and said, his words sounded unpleasant. In fact, it is a kind intention, which can make the little girl give up the silly idea of selling herself.
Zhang Xiaozu picked up the bone knife and lightly scratched his left wrist. Immediately red blood flowed out. He opened Niu Dawa's mouth and let the blood flow into Niu Dawa's mouth.
He couldn't get water right away, so he only thought of this stupid way.
"you--"
"Why--"
When the goatee man saw it, he opened his mouth to dissuade her, but in the end he just sighed helplessly. In his opinion, Niu Dawa was obviously hopeless, and although Zhang Xiaozhu was stupid in doing so, he could at least find some solace and feel more comfortable.
However, I heard Zhang Xiaozu ask: "Sir, I have taken many heavenly materials and earthly treasures not long ago. I wonder if my blood will be useful in treating his injuries?"
"——" The man with the goatee didn't say anything. He felt that Zhang Xiaozhu was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: The efficacy of the high-level natural and earthly treasures can indeed save people with their blood in a short time, but that's not the case. It's a super treasure that's priceless but not marketable. How can a poor boy like you get your hands on it?
The goatee man's silence gave Zhang Xiaozhu the answer, but he did not give up. Even if it was just blood instead of water, he would give it to Niu Dawa.
Zhang Xiaozhu's body has a strong self-healing ability. The blood only flowed for a short while before the wound gradually solidified. But he slapped the wound suddenly, and the wound burst open and bled.
"——" The man with the goatee didn't even blink when he saw Zhang Xiaopeng bleeding. He even slapped the wound to make the blood flow faster. Role.
He rubbed his hands nervously, hesitating whether to mention the meat or not. If he angered this ruthless boy, he might not be able to eat anymore and walk around. But if he pretended to have forgotten it, he would not be willing to do so.
"Why--"
"Hey hey hey——"
The little old man suddenly pointed at Niu Dawa and shouted excitedly.
The man with the goatee was having a fierce struggle with his thoughts when he was startled by the little old man's sudden cry. His eyes widened and he said dissatisfiedly: "Little old man, what are you talking about?"
"Sir. Sir." The little old man was very excited, his whole body was trembling, and he pointed his finger at Niu Dawa and shouted: "I-I seem to see my benefactor's finger moving. Just so gently."
The little old man stretched out his finger and moved it slightly to demonstrate.
"How is that possible?" The goatee man didn't believe it at all.
He personally checked Niu Dawa's pulse, and found that he was still hanging with only one breath left. His whole body began to stiffen and become cold, and he was about to die. How could he still move his fingers, so he didn't believe the little old man's words at all. He squinted at the little old man from the corner of his eyes and said, "You must have seen it wrong because of your blindness."
"Yes, really?" The little old man scratched the back of his head, wondering if he had seen it wrong, but immediately his dry and sunken eyes widened, and he pointed directly at Niu Dawa and shouted: "Sir, look, look, look , he - his throat is moving, really moving!"
The little old man didn't need to remind him, the goatee man saw it himself. His eyes widened with a look of disbelief on his face, and he hurriedly stretched out his finger to check Niu Dawa's pulse.
"This this--"
After a moment, the man with the goatee was stunned. He discovered that Niu Dawa's pulse had increased several times compared to before, and was steadily increasing at an alarming rate. He even clearly felt that Niu Dawa's almost dilapidated and exhausted body was beginning to regain its vitality.
"Incredible!"
"It's incredible!"
The man with the goatee was amazed again and again, and his eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Xiaozu, staring at the bright red blood flowing out of Zhang Xiaozu's wrist. He knew that it was Zhang Xiaozu's blood that was working, and he couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice: "You--what on earth are you doing?" What kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure did you eat that had such miraculous effects?!"
"How, is it effective?" Zhang Xiaozhu was overjoyed.
"It's effective, it's simply too effective. It's comparable to 500-year-old mountain ginseng." The goatee man nodded vigorously.
Chirp.
Perhaps driven by the dual urges of hunger, thirst and desire for survival, Niu Dawa's mouth actually wrapped around Zhang Xiaopou's wound, and then started sucking. Like a newborn baby sucking milk and water.
"Drink, drink more!" Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes were eager and he couldn't help urging, wishing that Niu Dawa Niu would start drinking.
"No, you can't do this." The goatee man hurriedly tried to dissuade Zhang Xiaozu, saying: "He is eating unconsciously now and will not stop unless he is full. But with your thin body, The blood in his body is simply not enough to support him from drinking enough. In other words, he will drain your blood unconsciously, and you will bleed to death."
The man with the goatee was right. After only a short moment, Zhang Xiaozu's lips were pale and his face was bloodless. With Niu Dawa's appetite, he can indeed suck his blood dry.
However, Zhang Xiaozhu had no intention of stopping at all, and said firmly: "As long as I can save my brother, what if I die of blood loss?"
"But - but you are not blood brothers. One of your surnames is Zhang and the other is Niu. They are cousins at most. And I see that your faces are not similar at all. I'm afraid you are not even cousins, right? "The man with the goatee said, he couldn't understand Zhang Xiaozu's persistence. In such a troubled world, everyone lives in secret, and brothers cannot care about each other, let alone brothers who are not related by blood.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, with a warm smile on his face, and said: "Although he and I are not blood brothers, the brotherhood between us is far better than blood brothers 110,000 times. What can I do for you?" If he dies, he can die for me.”
"Haha, I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks that way. How do you know what he is thinking?" The goatee man curled his lips.
As if responding to the goatee man's question, Niu Dawa's mouth suddenly opened, and then his lips and teeth tightened.
