Previous link: Volume I, Chapter 19
Hu Yixiong lay on the bed, listening to Ding Dali talk about the situation in the past few days, when he heard that the official army came to write a war letter, he couldn't help but lightly beat the edge of the bed with his hand, although he immediately grinned in pain, but still said the words happily: "Alas, you said that I was injured and how many good battles I missed!"
Hu Yixiong said a word, so angry that Shan Xia turned her head and went out again.
"Brother Xiong, Ma Er has asked the little Taoist, as far as the one I told you before, it seems to be more powerful than Daochang Li, his surname is Qiu, I heard the little Taoist priest say that this Daoist Qiu is the uncle of the chief general of the official army under the mountain. Seeing Hu Yixiong sweeping away the dullness of the past, Ding Dali couldn't help but continue to report the good news, and made the information that Bian Zhihe told Ma Er, where they came from, and the relationship between Qiu Chuji and Du Dacheng.
When Hu Yixiong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Ding Dali and smiled: "In this case, we have a way to deal with the officers and soldiers!"
"Hmm," Ding replied with a vigorous nod.
With Ding Dali's understanding of Hu Yixiong, he naturally knew that what Hu Yixiong was thinking of now must not be a righteous and bright way. As for himself, of course, he didn't like to use those indiscriminate methods before, but now how can he say that he is also a bandit, and what can he not do when he is already a bandit? Not to mention that this is a major matter to save his life, and it is related to the life and death of the brothers and children of the whole mountain!
"Haha, vigorously, what about this Dharma activity, let these Taoist priests do it slowly day after day!" Hu Yixiong lay on the bed leisurely, with an extremely relaxed and enjoyable look on his face: "We are not in a hurry to do it with the officials and soldiers, it is not us who are in a hurry now! It is those officials and soldiers who should be in a hurry, do you know? I really don't know what Du Dacheng thinks, at such a critical moment, such an important person as his own uncle dares to be sent to our mountain with confidence? Hey, we're bandits, aren't they really afraid?"
Speaking of this, Hu Yixiong grinned: "I, Hu Yixiong, have fought myself up the mountain, and I have done all kinds of bad things to the officers and soldiers, and if I want to say that I can kidnap and deal with the hostages of the officers and soldiers, I really have never been able to do it! This is a good thing that we dare not think of! This time they personally sent an opportunity, if I don't grasp it, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to lose my face?" He said as he looked at the roof beautifully, looking like he was winning.
Ding Dali looked at Hu Yixiong too proudly, and couldn't help but say: "But, after all, they are Taoist priests, we really tied them up, and we are not afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"Hey! I didn't say tie up, did I do it? Didn't I do it yet!" Hu Yixiong opened his eyes wide and looked at Ding Dali innocently, which was exactly what Hu Yixiong looked like when he was a scoundrel that Ding Dali was familiar with before: "Let's do things one after another! After the brothers who died in battle on this mountain are done, let the living think about the relatives who have died in their own family in the past few years, and do them one by one!"
Ding Dali heard that there were thousands of brothers on this mountain, and no one of them had a deceased old man or something, so they should do it one by one, so they should do it in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Monkey? This is obviously to put these Taoist priests under house arrest on the mountain! This trick is really bad for Hu Yixiong to come up with!
But then again, if there is something to do on the mountain, can the Taoist priest have a reason to resign? These days, the common people are not rich, and it is not easy for them to live, so how can they take care of the deceased? It is estimated that the people under the mountain will not be able to do a few similar things in a year, right? Will the ready-made silver Taoist priests not want to earn?
Hu Yixiong came up with this idea, and when he was lying on the hospital bed, he was in a good mood, and he couldn't help humming a little song softly.
Ding Dali had never seen Hu Yixiong so happy, he listened carefully, and heard that Hu Yixiong was humming a common rhyme tune used by Taoist priests these days, and couldn't help but think: Don't look at Brother Xiong yelling these voices every day to annoy and quarrel to death, but who would have thought that he would unknowingly accept such an influence!
Of course, the Taoist priests who came to Yanggu Mountain didn't know that Hu Yixiong had made up his mind to put them under house arrest on the mountain, and they were still calmly preparing and holding one activity after another as before, until that day Qiu Chuji met Miao Langzhong on the road, to be exact, it should be to treat Miao Langzhong.
That day, after Miao Langzhong showed Hu Yixiong about his injuries, he walked out with the medicine box on his back, and when he passed by the event site, he happened to catch up with the end of the scene.
Miao Langzhong has been working hard for a day, and his reaction is slow in slow motion, and he is squeezed by the bandits and stands unsteadily, but there is a stone next to his feet, and he can't dodge it for a while, and his body is crooked and falls to the ground, who knows that he can't stand up when he falls.
There were a few bandits who knew Miao Langzhong around, trying to help him up, Miao Langzhong tried to lift his legs, his calf hurt heart-wrenchingly, he knew that this was a broken bone, and quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "No, no!"
When the bandits saw it, some of them shouted: "I said Lao Miao, don't you bring anything like this, isn't it just a fall, and you can't stand up this time, do you want your brothers to send you down the mountain?"
Miao Langzhong smiled bitterly and waved his hand, saying, "Broken bones!"
"Hey, you're Langzhong here, others can't show you!" The bandits shouted nonsense, Ding Dali heard it and hurriedly came over to take a look, and saw Miao Langzhong sitting on the ground, looking at the expression on his face was really painful.
Ding Dali hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Miao Langzhong waved his hand: "Mr. Ding, I can't get up at this time!
Ding Dali listened, and hurriedly took down the medicine box in Miao Langzhong, opened the medicine box and handed it to Miao Langzhong.
Miao Langzhong frowned tightly and looked for wound medicine in the medicine box, while shaking his head slightly: "This fall is really not light! People are old and their bones are brittle, and I don't know when it will be better! Mr. Ding, I can't go down the mountain for a while!"
"We have a place on this mountain!" Ding Dali saw that Miao Langzhong had indeed fallen lightly, especially when he saw that he was trembling with the medicine in his hand, and he had no rule of law for a while, so he looked up at the crowd and shouted: "Who knows medical skills, come and help first!"
When the surrounding bandits heard this, they all said: "This is really terrible! Mr. Ding, if you want to tell us where to fight, we will go immediately without saying a word! If you want to let us treat our injuries, then we are really rushing ducks to the shelves, and we won't be able to!"
"Then go find one!" Ding Dali shouted, and some people ran around, and Ding Dabian asked everyone to come up to help and help carry Miao Langzhong to his room.
When everyone was making a commotion, I saw a Taoist priest drifting into the crowd, he first glanced at the injury on Miao Langzhong's leg, then looked at the medicine in Miao Langzhong's hand, looked at Miao Langzhong and said: "Sir, do you know that it will take at least three months to apply this medicine?"
"I know, this is also something that can't be helped, it will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and we don't have any other good medicine here!" Miao Langzhong frowned and said, "Alas, I have been practicing medicine in this area for many years, and I haven't always used this medicine to treat people's injuries!"
"I have a medicine here that is the fastest to cure this kind of injury, I wonder if Mr. wants to use it?" said the Taoist priest.
"Ouch, my Daoist, I know that the Taoist heart is the kindest, why don't I dare to use your medicine?" Miao Langzhong looked at the Taoist priest seriously and said, "But please use the Daoist medicine!"
"Okay, please come with me. The Taoist priest then said to Ding Dali, "Mr. Ding, if you don't mind, I think you can carry him to us first, and I can treat him and change his medicine at any time in the next few days!"
"That's the best!" replied Ding Dali. He knew that this person was Qiu Chuji, and after contact in the past few days, although they didn't talk to each other much, but I don't know why, Ding Dali trusted Qiu Chuji very much in his heart, so at this time, when he heard Qiu Chuji say that he had a medicine with faster curative effect, he naturally couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly asked everyone to carry Miao Langzhong to the room where the Taoist priests lived.
Qiu Chuji took out a square box from his luggage, opened it, and there were all kinds of pills and ointments in it, he took out a few pills from the upper layer, and asked Bian Zhihe, who was waiting in front of him, to take water for Miao Langzhong to take, and then took out a dose of ointment from the lower layer, first wiped Miao Langzhong's wounds clean, and then gently pasted the ointment on it.
"Cool silk!" At the beginning, Miao Langzhong watched the Taoist priest busy with curiosity, and when he took the pill and put the ointment on, he couldn't help but show a pleasant smile and praised him: "Master Dao, you are extraordinary, you have been practicing medicine for many years!"
"My master is very famous for his medical skills in our area!" Bian Zhihe likes to hear people praise his master the most, and he couldn't help but say at this time.
Qiu Chuji glanced at Bian Zhihe, Bian Zhihe gently stuck out his tongue, lowered his head, and was busy making tea for Miao Langzhong and Ding Dali, who was accompanying him.
"Dao Ye is proficient in medical skills, it's really rare!" Miao Langzhong felt that the pain in his leg had been significantly reduced, and he couldn't help but continue to praise: "Your treatment of external injuries has both external application and internal administration, I have never seen such a treatment before! Don't say I haven't seen it, I'm afraid Langzhong in our area has never even heard of it!"
"I also succeeded in formulating it after many times of research!" Qiu Chuji said slowly, "We have many disciples in our ancestral nunnery, and we usually like to practice martial arts, so bruises and injuries are the most common, so I really put in a lot of effort to formulate this painkiller and pain-dissolving ointment. An injury like my husband's should heal in less than seven days!"
Miao Langzhong heard that it would heal in less than seven days, his eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted: "Master Dao, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, and there are many injuries I have handled.
Qiu Chuji smiled and nodded: "Yes!"
"I'm not young at this age, look at my beard, I'm over half a hundred years old!" Miao Langzhong deliberately stroked his goatee and said, "It's not like a child's bones are tender and so fast!"
"This medicine of mine is also used by our eighty-year-old cultivator in the nunnery. Qiu Chuji smiled, "It will be fine in seven days!"
"I really can't believe this!" Miao Langzhong still just shook his head, "Shorten from 100 days to 7 days?
