Xiao Qiang's voice did not get any response. There was silence around the thatched cottage. His voice seemed to have never sounded. Zhang Jingyi's heart sank. She knew that if the old TCM doctors were not here, they would probably go to kunmingshan. It was a very difficult choice.
Helpless, Xiao Qiang can only quickly walk to the thatched house, the door easily pushed open. Sure enough, there was no one in the room, just some Chinese herbal medicine, a wooden bed and some old daily necessities.
"It seems that the old TCM doctor is not in Jigong Mountain." Zhang Jingyi sighed. The last thing she wanted was to come out. She said helplessly, "we don't have tents and sleeping bags. If we go to Kunming mountain to catch a cold, I'm afraid it's a problem that we can't even get there."
Xiao Qiang turns his mouth. He knows that Zhang Jingyi is telling the truth. If he can't find an old TCM doctor in Jigong Mountain, his hope will be dashed by 50% or 60%. With regret and helplessness, he could only comfort, "Jingyi, otherwise, we'd better go back to Jiang Village first and get the tent and sleeping bag again? It's easier to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain. We'll have a rest here for one night. We'll leave at dawn. Maybe we can go back all day. "
Zhang Jingyi's beautiful eyes were a little dim. She bit the pink lips and said, "Xiao Qiang, it's too time-consuming to come back. Otherwise, we'd better go to kunmingshan directly. It should be OK to have a night. We should make the fire bigger. If... If we hold each other for warmth, we should be able to survive the cold night."
"This..." Xiao Qiang didn't expect that Zhang Jingyi would be so resolute. He even thought of the way for them to warm themselves by hugging each other. At the thought of sleeping with a beautiful girl in his arms at night, his heart beat faster.
"That's settled. Let's... Let's start while we still have time." Zhang Jingyi's pretty face was slightly red. She knew that what she said just now had no woman's reserve. She stamped her feet shyly and said, "in a word... We must find an old Chinese medicine doctor!"
"OK... Let's go straight to kunmingshan." Xiao Qiang knew that Zhang Jingyi wanted to save the company. He was too embarrassed to refuse. He could only nod his head and agreed. He wanted to leave the thatched cottage first.
"Whoosh!" Just as Xiao Qiang came to the door, a dark shadow came suddenly. Before he had a reaction, a crack like sound came from the wooden post beside the door. The sharp arrow had been inserted into the wood of his face, shaking!
Xiao Qiang's whole body was a little stiff. If the sharp arrow didn't miss, it would have hit him in the neck. He didn't even respond and would have died!
"Xiao Qiang!" With a scream, Zhang Jingyi quickly reaches out her hand and pulls him into the thatched cottage for fear that he will be hit by a sharp arrow again. However, it seems that the archers outside didn't take the next step. After shooting this arrow, they didn't continue.
At the moment of life and death, Xiao Qiang was really frightened. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly used the perspective eye function to look out of the thatched cottage. Just a few dozen paces away, an old man with untidy clothes, shawl and long beard was holding a crossbow in his hand, facing the door of the thatched cottage warily.
"This... This is..." Xiao Qiang was shocked and ecstatic. He thought it was the follow-up of the Ninja killers who wanted to kill him, but now he found that the archer was not a ninja, but an old man! From the old man's sloppy dress, it is more like the old Chinese medicine doctor who has been in the mountains for decades and is used to the life of savages!
Now think about it, the arrow just now may not have missed at all. The old man obviously regarded them as intruders. The sharp arrow on the wooden post of the door was just a warning. He didn't want to hurt anyone at all!
Aware of this, Xiao Qiang's heart was relieved, but he didn't dare to show his head. He shook Zhang Jingyi's cold and nervous hand and gave her a comforting smile. Then he yelled out of the house, "it's an old Chinese medicine doctor outside. My friend and I venture to visit. Don't be surprised! We're not villains. We just want you to help us. I'm sorry to enter the thatched cottage without your permission. We just want to see if you are always in the house. "
As soon as Xiao Qiang's words came out, the old man standing outside had not opened his mouth yet, but Zhang Jingyi beside her was very excited, her beautiful eyes were bright, and her pretty face turned red! If the archer outside the door is really an old Chinese medicine doctor, it means that there is hope for her company to come back to life!
Sure enough, Xiao Qiang guessed right. When the old man outside heard this, he put down his bow and crossbow and said, "come out. I don't like strangers breaking into my house."
"OK, we'll be right out." Xiao Qiang glanced at Zhang Jingyi with a little excitement, took her little hand and walked out of the thatched cottage.
At this time, Zhang Jingyi can see clearly the real appearance of the old man outside the house, look at his old and yellow face, as well as his sloppy dress and hair, and even smell the stench from him. However, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that he is an old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanye. After so many hardships, she finally finds the person who can save the company!
"Hello, old TCM. My name is Xiao Qiang. I'm Zhang Tianzheng's nephew in Jiangcun village. Do you remember me?" Xiao Qiang pointed to his face and said, "I was scratched when I was a child. It was my grandfather who carried me up the mountain to find you that completely cured my scar."
After staring at Xiao Qiang for a long time, the old TCM doctor said coldly, "I have saved so many people that I can't even remember them. What can I do for you
"Oh, it's like this. I was hurt by a concealed weapon in my abdomen. I want you to help me with the treatment." When Xiao Qiang said this, he went to the old doctor and exposed the wound that had been bandaged at the rib.
Although the old TCM doctors have lived in the mountains for so many years, they still respect the injured. He put down the crossbow and reached forward to tear the gauze off Xiao Qiang's wound. After that, an obvious wound was exposed in the air.
After moistening by the aura of heaven and earth, the wound has been initially healed and no longer bleeding. It doesn't seem to matter. Old Chinese medicine brow some dignified hand in the wound to wipe, and then let into the mouth a lick, some surprised toward Xiao Qiang looked at the eye way, "your wound edge has the existence of toxin, but you... Why will be ok?"
"Er..." Xiao Qiang didn't expect that the old Chinese medicine was so skillful that even a small amount of residual toxin could be found. He didn't know how to explain it. He can't say, I have a strange treasure, can I detoxify?
"It seems that you are a master of detoxification, and the wound has healed well. You don't need to come to me at all." The old doctor said coldly, "your purpose is obviously not to treat diseases. I hate cheating. If I don't see you off, please go!"
"Old Chinese medicine, this..." Xiao Qiang really some silly eyes, this old Chinese medicine is really strange and hard tempered, a word does not want to drive people, then how to do? It's hard for them to find here, but they can't just give up all their previous work!
