Entering the woods, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the leaves had not yet grown on the trees in early spring, the trees in the forest were tall and the branches at high places were extended and intertwined. It was difficult to be discovered by hiding in the forest.

Compared with the difficulties he may encounter in the future, he is more worried about whether Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu can escape, whether Takeda Mayumi, who was seriously injured and fell into the water, can escape death, and whether Batulu can escape the pursuers.

Worry and worry are different. Although he was worried about the four people, it was not to the level of worry, because although the situation was unfavorable to everyone, it was not extremely bad. No matter how dangerous it was to fall into the water, it would be better than not being able to fall into the water. If he blocked it from elsewhere,

If you are chasing soldiers, you can only fight to the end. Even if you can't defeat them, you can't run away, because there is no place to run and you can't escape.

In addition, the weapons used by Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu are magic weapons, and high-quality weapons can also increase their chances of winning.

Although Batulu was simple-minded, he had carefully warned him before leaving. As long as Batulu could do as he said, he should be able to escape smoothly.

He sat down before walking very far. He was still worried that Li Zhongyong and others wanted to rush back to Shiqiao to investigate. However, this idea was quickly given up by him, because Shiqiao was more than two hundred miles away from here.

, even walking on the road takes three or four days. There are many obstacles to walking in the mountains, and it takes at least ten days and a half to get there. After getting there, you can't see anything, which is meaningless.

After giving up this idea, he came up with another idea. He wanted to hide in the woods near the intersection. If he hid nearby, he could see the people passing by and have a grasp of the enemy's whereabouts.

However, after weighing it, he gave up this idea and couldn't stay around here. God knows what those people in the world are capable of. If someone with clear eyes and ears discovered that he was hiding nearby, wouldn't his death be unjust?

After making up his mind, he stood up and walked westward through the forest with his baggage on his back.

In addition to the baggage, he also carried the thin-edged long knife named Hanyue with him. Although he couldn't use the knife, having the knife in his hand still made him feel at ease. After all, this was not a place he was familiar with. He didn't know

Are there any tigers, leopards or wolves in the mountains?

He was worried about encountering ferocious birds and beasts, so he did not enter the deep mountains and old forests far away from the road. He kept walking in the forest to the north of the fork in the road. He set off at Chenshi. After walking for two hours, he was sweating profusely and his mouth was dry. Although he had brought a lot of dry food.

, but there is no water bladder.

After walking for another hour, I finally found a stream in the mountains to the north. I hurried over and drank some water to quench my thirst.

The stream was not big, and the narrowest part was only two feet. It did not prevent him from continuing to go west. However, after crossing the stream, he did not continue to go west, but went upstream along the stream. He grew up in a mountain village.

Experience tells him that such a small

Streams often converge into large and small pools in low-lying areas, and there are likely to be fish and shrimp in the pools.

After walking a few dozen feet upstream, he found a small pool. The pool was about three feet square and the water was no more than two feet deep. It was crystal clear and there were fish in the water. Although they were not big, there were quite a lot of them.

In the past few years, the rain has been irregular, the weather has been bad, and wars have occurred frequently in various places, which has resulted in people being in dire straits and not having enough to eat. The victims will not let go of anything they can eat. It is not difficult to catch fish and shrimps in the pools.

Therefore, he was not arrested. There is only one reasonable explanation, that is, few people come to this place.

It was only mid-afternoon, and there was still an hour before the sun set. However, he did not go further, but looked for shelter in the mountains on both sides of the pool.

Cave is undoubtedly the best place to stay, but caves are not everywhere. Even if there are caves, most of them are occupied by wild beasts. After searching for a long time, they finally found a cave between two rocks on the mountainside to the west of the pool.

The cracks in the rocks are not big, but they can barely hide people.

After finding a more ideal location, he put down his baggage, pulled out his long knife and began to cut down trees nearby. He did not chop down big trees, but only picked small trees as thick as an arm. Hanyue was a rare sword, and it was a waste of natural resources to use it to chop firewood.

But it's really easy to use. It only takes one cut for a small tree as thick as an arm.

After dragging it back, you don't need to repair it too carefully. You just cut off the tree branches, then cut the trunk in half and place it between two stones to serve as a beam. The cut tree branches are then covered on top to serve as a roof.

It was enough to cover the branches of two trees with stone gaps, but after cutting down more than a dozen trees, the branches at this time had no leaves, so it was necessary to cover them with several more layers in order to protect them from rain and cold.

After covering the branches, he searched for nearby rocks to cover them. This had multiple purposes, one was to prevent the branches from being blown away by strong winds, the other was to resist digging by wild beasts, and the other was to surround the hiding place he chose.

Most of them are made of bluestone. Covering the branches with stones can make this cave appear less obtrusive in the mountains. It is not easy to find unless you look carefully from nearby.

After building the roof, he began to move stones to block the door. He didn't know what kind of beasts there were in the mountains, so he tried his best to move the heavy stones and stack them up, and he was busy until nightfall before he was almost finished.

There was a moon in the sky, but the moonlight was not enough for him to see the words in the book clearly. Although he was exhausted, he did not relax. He had cut down more than a dozen trees before, and all the branches were used, as well as some thicker trunks.

Put out a few supports to support the load,

The rest used the moonlight to peel off the bark, use the bark as a rope, connect the tree trunks together, and make a crude but strong wooden door to block the entrance of the hole.

After doing all this, he was almost exhausted, but his body was exhausted, but his heart was at ease. Hard work would never be in vain. With such a solid place to live, he had nothing to fear except bad guys.

Because he was too tired, he fell asleep without eating half of the fire. Because the inside and outside of the cave was airtight, the cold air at night did not wake him up, and it was already the fifth watch when he woke up.

After waking up, I went down to the mountainside to drink water and wash my face. I saw a lot of fallen hay near the stream, so I took an armful back and used it to spread the ground to keep out the cold.

After doing this, he left the cave with his baggage and sat down under a tree about ten feet away in the northwest direction of the cave. There was a reason why he didn't stay in the cave. He was worried that someone would discover the cave and block him inside.

There was a reason why he spent so much time and effort reinforcing his shelter yesterday. Right now, the wind is blowing and the world is abuzz. It is definitely not a wise move to leave at this time. Stay here for a while and wait for people in the world to gradually change this.

Forget about it and start again.

His idea was not a temporary one, he had already thought about it before he separated from Batulu, and this was the reason why he took away 70% of the dry food.

What the master told us must be done, but the master did not specify the time for delivering the elixir to Gezao Mountain. The time was relatively leisurely, which was to his advantage.

After sitting down, he took out half of yesterday's leftover fire and chewed it while reading the medical book he got not long ago. The medical book in his hand was called Qianjin Yifang, which was written by Sun Zhenren, the king of medicine, in his later years, and Takeda Mayumi's work is called Qianjin Yaofang, which is Sun Zhenren's early Qihuang treatise.

Fools often don't realize that they are stupid, but smart people never think that they are stupid, they know that they are very smart. When he was learning calligraphy as a child, the old man praised his photographic memory, and this is what the old man was willing to teach him. One of the reasons is that even if you really have a photographic memory, it is still a bit reluctant to memorize this Qianjin Yifang by rote, because there are so many names of medicines recorded in medical books, and these medicines all belong to the five elements, metal and wood. There are hundreds of medicines for each genus of water, fire and earth.

What’s more, there are too many prescriptions. There are at least several thousand prescriptions in the upper and lower volumes. A prescription may consist of at least two or three kinds of medicines, and as many as more than twenty medicines. The weights are not only accurate to a few taels. The money is even accurate to a few cents.

If it were an ordinary history book, it wouldn't be a big deal if I misremembered a few words or sentences, but this is a medical prescription used on people, a prescription.

If it doesn't have any effect, it's okay if it can't be cured. If the wrong prescription is prescribed and someone dies, there will be a lawsuit.

For most people, learning is boring, but for some people, learning is addictive, especially when they vaguely discover a certain pattern, they will be eager to find out and verify this pattern.

The art of Qihuang is derived from the yin and yang and the five elements. The five internal organs of the human body, including the skin, bones, blood and flesh, all have their own yin and yang. If the five elements are balanced, all diseases will not occur. All diseases are caused by the imbalance of yin and yang and the imbalance of the five elements. , the essence of treatment is to balance the five elements and correct deviations.

The art of Qihuang can be roughly divided into two parts. The first is symptom identification, and the second is treatment. Diagnosis is to find the cause of the disease, and treatment is to prescribe. Disease identification is extremely important. If the disease is not identified accurately, the wrong medicine may be prescribed. Put people to death.

Treatment is equally important. Even if the root cause of the patient's disease is found, if the prescription is wrong, it will add fuel to the fire, aid the evil, and possibly kill the person.

For the next few days, he kept reading Qianjin Yifang. The more he learned, the more nervous he became, because Qihuang Technique is different from other skills for making a living. Qihuang Technique is a skill that cures diseases and saves lives. If you use it well, you will be a miracle doctor. , can save lives and accumulate virtue, but if used improperly, it is a quack, and can only kill lives and commit evil.

The ancients said that learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous. If you just study without thinking, you will be confused in the end. If you don't study and just think, you will end up with random thoughts and no effect. When reading medical books , while reciting the prescriptions, I vaguely discovered a pattern, that is, the prescriptions recorded in the book seemed to be the ones that could cure the patient in the shortest time.

In order to shorten the treatment time, not only the proportion of the prescription must be extremely precise, but also the amount of medicine must be mastered.

The medical book is a good book, and the prescriptions are also good, but this medical book is not something that ordinary people can control. The medicine is too strong. It is not the common slow conditioning method at all, but hits the nail on the head, takes effect in one dose, and has immediate effect.

Get rid of the disease.

The faster the prescription, the greater the risk. If you get it right, the medicine will cure the disease, but if you don't get it right, the medicine will kill you.

After discovering this rule, I felt very upset. For beginners, Qian Jin Yifang is not friendly enough, and for non-experts, these prescriptions are simply impossible to grasp and cannot be used well.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved. As a generation of miracle doctors, Master Sun would naturally not delay in prescribing prescriptions. It could take effect within an hour, but he would never delay it until two hours. Of course, there were doctors among them.
