Chapter 44: Difficulty

Not far to the east of the City God's Temple was the woods. He wiped away his tears while groping towards the woods. His eyes were seriously injured by the smoke and he could not control his tears.

The reason why he cried was not all because of his eye injuries. Old Tian's family had been with him day and night for several days, and now they died tragically in front of his eyes. He couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, especially for the poor Tian family girl, who obviously liked him.

The reason why he didn't deliberately blacken his face in the past few days was because he hoped to make himself look less ugly, so that he could change his mind. Such a poor woman could not keep her innocence before she died.

He groped to the edge of the woods and sat down against a big tree. He knew that he had been severely burned and the pain was unbearable all over his body. He raised his hand and touched his head. What he felt was not hair, but large and small blisters on his head.

.

Then I touched my arms, chest and abdomen, and it was the same. They were all blistered. ??

The kind-hearted female Taoist left a bottle of golden sore medicine before she left. The golden sore medicine can be taken internally or externally. She couldn't see it and could not apply it externally. She could only fumble and remove the cork and pour the powder from the porcelain bottle into her mouth.

.

The smell of the medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle was strong and pungent. Before I could swallow it, I choked and coughed violently. All the powder I had just poured into my mouth came out.

While feeling regretful, he thought of the elixirs in the branches. In addition to the golden elixir of returning to heaven, there were three elixirs in the sycamore branch in his hand, namely the detoxifying pill, the healing elixir, and the returning to heaven elixir.

In this case, that healing pill is undoubtedly symptomatic.

After thinking for a long time, he finally gave up the idea. The reason why he gave up the idea was not because he was worried about taking the wrong pills. He clearly remembered the order in which the pills were inserted. The healing pill was on the outside, even if he could not see it with his eyes at this time.

It will not be taken by mistake.

He didn't eat just because he didn't want to. He went to Gezao Mountain in a long and winding way, and he didn't know what dangers he would encounter in the future.

But whether or not to swallow the healing elixir ultimately depends on whether the eyes can barely see. At this time, he was crying non-stop. He had read Qian Jin Yifang well and knew that tears were the eyes trying to repair themselves. If tomorrow, he would still be able to see.

If you can't see clearly, you can only take healing pills.

His whole body was covered in blisters and the pain was palpable. Even though his scalp was numb from pain, he didn't dare to reach out and touch it, which would make it even more painful.

For the first time in his life, he realized the difference between pain and pain. Pain and pain are different. Pain is more severe and intolerable. Pain is just uncomfortable, while pain can make the scalp numb and nauseating.

Desire to vomit.

Even if it was just severe pain in the heart, he could endure it. The worst part was that his lungs were choked by the fire and it was painful to breathe.

, not even able to moan and cry out in pain.

The house leaked because of the continuous rain, and the boat was hit by a strong wind. Since it was early summer, mosquitoes began to appear in the mountains. The mosquitoes would not let him go just because he was injured. They swarmed him not long after he sat down.

Come up.

Although mosquitoes are small, they can be very scary when there are many of them. They can sting people to death. So I had no choice but to get up, rely on my memory, use tree branches to find the way, and walk towards the distant city wall.

I don't know how long I moved, but I vaguely saw a faint light from high up. That light was undoubtedly the torch on the city wall.

When you see light, feel relieved. If you can see light, it means you are not blind. If you sleep overnight, you will be better tomorrow.

After touching the cold city wall, he was exhausted, sat down against the wall, and then fainted.

Fainting relieved the pain, but he couldn't stay in syncope. Sooner or later, he would wake up. He woke up from a nightmare. In his sleep, he returned to Wangjia Kuang. Before Lao Huang died, the villagers gathered firewood to burn him to death.

Lao Huang, he was so angry that he rushed into the fire and beat it to put out the fire.

When I woke up and opened my eyes, I realized that it was just a dream. I was not in Wangjia Kuang, but under the city wall. At this time, the sun had risen and the city gate had been opened.

Although his eyes were still painful and uncomfortable, and his vision was a little blurry, he knew that the healing pill was saved. As long as he could see, he could identify the herbs and heal himself.

He couldn't see the injury on his head. He could only look down at his hands, feet and arms. They were all covered with big shiny blisters. He raised his hand to touch his face, and there were them too.

Turning around to look at the City God's Temple in the east of the city, it was already in ruins. The embers had not been completely extinguished and there was still some smoke floating away.

After sitting for a moment, he stood up and walked towards the city gate, leaning on the sycamore branch. There had just been a war here, and it was not uncommon for victims like him to be naked and injured, so his appearance did not arouse the attention of passers-by.

Looking on, the soldiers at the city gate did not stop him, allowing him to pass through the city gate and enter the city.

He was just passing through Fenyang and had no intention of staying in the city. After entering the city, he looked for passers-by and found out that he could reach Yuzhou by going west, so he went straight west on his own road.

There are many vendors on both sides of the road. In troubled times, the most expensive thing is food. Two taels of bread will cost one penny.

I had copper coins with me, so I bought two and put them in my pocket.

Tofu can't bear hunger. One penny can buy a palm-sized cube. He bought a cube of tofu and stood next to a stall to eat it. He didn't buy tofu because he was greedy, but because tofu can clear away heat and replenish qi. He was too angry, so eating some tofu can help him relax.

Clears the lungs.

Seeing his embarrassment, the stall owner sympathized with him and gave him another bowl of soy milk. After thanking him, he took it and drank it.

Half an hour later, he left the city. In addition to two flour cakes, he also bought a pottery urn and half a jar of salt. In addition, he also used a copper coin to buy two dead animals from the hunters.

weasel.

The weasel has been regarded as an unlucky thing by the world since ancient times, and few people dare to eat it. The reason why he bought it was not because it was cheap, but because he needed to boil oil to make medicine. He was badly burned and had to apply medicine. The best one was undoubtedly the badger.

Badger oil, but badgers are not easy to catch, so we have to find substitutes. Although badgers are called badgers, they have nothing to do with dogs. Instead, they are close relatives of weasels. Therefore, the oil of weasels also has myogenic, analgesic, and treatment for burns.

Effect.

I left the city and walked westward. After five miles, I encountered a small river. When I walked to the river, I looked into the water. Sure enough, not a single hair was left. I was burned directly into a monk. The monk was not a good monk. One end was scalded and the whole head was scabby.

Monk.

The river water was still very cold in May and June, but I didn't care so much. I walked two miles upstream, came to a deserted place, took off my clothes that were riddled with burns, and immersed myself in the water.

The water in the river was cold, and the burning sensation all over his body instantly subsided.

The blisters must be broken, but once the blisters are broken, no more water can touch them. I have no choice but to endure the pain, grinning and wiping the dirt on my body. I don’t know whether it’s the cold or the pain. I tremble and tremble from time to time.

Teeth chattering.

Washing off the dirt on his body, he came out of the river and wanted to skin the two weasels. Only then did he remember that the hatchet was lost yesterday. Fortunately, there were clam shells by the river, so he used half a clam shell instead. .??

.??

After cooking the weasel, he picked a few handfuls of locust leaves from the locust tree on the shore and put them into a pottery urn. Although locust leaves can be found everywhere, they are very good herbal medicines, which can clear the liver and relieve fire, cool the blood and detoxify.

It was the blooming season of honeysuckle. Honeysuckle is quite effective in clearing the lungs and removing heat. He originally wanted to find honeysuckle, but he couldn't find it. In the end, he could only bring back a bundle of wormwood. This thing has a general effect of clearing away heat and cooling the blood, and has a dispelling effect.

Mosquitoes are very useful.

Weasels are small in size, weighing just over two kilograms at their maximum. They are very easy to stew, and their bones will be crispy and their flesh will become rotten in an hour.

Sheng took the pottery jar to the river and cooled it with the river water. Finally, he got some grease. After picking out the solidified grease, he poured out the rest. This thing smelled so bad that he couldn't eat it.

Next, it’s time to pick the blisters. Burn blisters are different from blisters caused by grinding. Blisters are more painful, but the pain must be picked, otherwise the injury will worsen.

After picking, squeezing, and shivering, I don't know how many times I shivered, but finally all of them were broken, including the blisters on the top of my head. There was no way to apply medicine one by one, so I could only smear the oil all over the body.

This product is very useful. After applying it, it feels refreshing and the pain is relieved. The disadvantage is that the smell is pungent and the odor is too strong.

Take the medicine and hit the road again.

The clothes he changed had already been exchanged for firewood and hatchets with the woodcutter. The only clothes he was wearing were riddled with holes after going in and out of the fire several times yesterday, so he could only make do with them now.

As I set out on the road again, the pain eased a lot, but my damaged eyes could not recover for a while, and the mountain breeze always made me shed tears.

There were also people fleeing the disaster on the way west. Having learned from the past, I no longer dared to travel with them. Since I couldn't protect them, I had no choice but to stay away from them.

He had already entered Li Keyong's sphere of influence at this time, and eastbound convoys could be seen from time to time along the way. Fenyang, which he passed earlier, was at the forefront of the war. These convoys must have been transporting grain and grass supplies there.

Since Li Cunxiao's army came all the way from the west, the farther west they went, the more miserable the scene became. The fields were deserted and nine of the ten houses were empty. From early morning to early evening, not a single complete village was seen.

There are more deserted graves nearby than there are living people on the road.

Seeing that it was getting dark soon, I began to worry about where to stay. Fortunately, I didn't go far before I saw a town ahead, which must be two or three miles away.

I quickly rushed to the entrance of the town and stopped. Most of the houses in this town were intact, but there was not a single passerby on the road. It was dead silent under the night, which was strange and eerie.

Having lived alone for many years, he is not timid, but the abandoned town in front of him made him a little panicked. The houses on both sides of the street were not burned down, but the doors were open. It was obvious that the people who lived here before

People have left.

Just as he was hesitating to advance or retreat at the street entrance, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a fire flashing in a courtyard not far ahead.
