Chapter 852 Regret
They told Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi that their Yinlin Guardsmen had been slightly injured before they came to the place where Miao Jiang lived, but they had recovered a long time ago, just because they didn't eat well and were always hungry. She didn't take a bath or change her clothes for a month, so she looked miserable and skinny. In fact, her body didn't matter, she was still very healthy. After she went back to recuperate for a while, the fat on her body would come back.
And Chu Yuexi’s legs.
The deputy captain said, "The commander was not injured at first. He was injured seven days ago. That day, the Miao people suddenly came and took the commander away. When the commander came back, he was already injured. The Miao people did not treat the commander. The commander was not given any medicine and was left to fend for himself, which is why the wound on his leg became so serious.”
Not only was the leg injured, Chu Yuexi also had two injuries on her arms, one on one arm, but the injury was not serious, it was just a little scratch on the skin and a little blood. I helped bandage it and it's healed now.
But he was stabbed twice in the thigh, one of the swords was pierced. They had no medicine and could only tear off a few pieces of clothing to stop the bleeding.
Perhaps the clothes were too dirty or the wound was not treated in time. In short, Chu Yuexi's wound was infected and began to slowly rot.
When they saw that the wound was infected, they asked the Miao people who were guarding them to get some medicinal materials for Chu Yuexi, but they ignored them and said, "People who will die sooner or later can survive until we hold a memorial ceremony on the first day of the next month." It’s okay when it’s time, what else is there to heal?”
Only then did they realize that after capturing them, the Miao people had long planned to raise them and use them to pay homage to the gods on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.
"Originally, there were not only these 30 people arrested, but 42 of us. The more than ten brothers were all killed by the Miao people's poisonous insects."
As he spoke, the vice-captain burst into tears.
"These demons deserve to die." Xia Zihan's face turned black and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill all the Miao people right now.
The deputy captain mentioned Dr. Bai again, "Doctor Bai was at the foot of the waterfall and left us separately. We wanted to climb Wuzhi Peak and search for the Miao people along the water source. Dr. Bai wanted to go to the mountains to collect medicine, so he separated from us. .”
"It's a good thing we separated. Otherwise, at such an old age, Divine Doctor Bai would still have to suffer this. I don't know if he could bear it." The vice-captain said happily.
Xia Zihan looked surprised, "You said my master went to the mountains alone?"
"Well, we separated at the foot of the waterfall. The commander wanted to take us up to Wuzhi Peak to find the Miao people. But when Doctor Bai saw that there were many rare medicinal materials in the mountains, he was reluctant to leave, so he insisted on going alone. He didn’t follow us when he was collecting herbs. The commander didn’t say anything and we left separately.”
Xia Zihan believed what the vice-captain said.
Doctor Bai is a person who is very obsessed with rare medicinal materials. If he sees that there are many rare medicinal materials on this mountain, he will definitely be reluctant to leave.
Just because he knew Doctor Bai's temper, Xia Zihan was even more worried about his safety.
In this mountain, there are tigers, wild wolves, big black bears, everything. She is worried that if Doctor Bai encounters them...
She asked anxiously, "In which direction did my master go? Did he say anything before he left?"
The deputy captain said, "We went southeast. Before we left, we told the commander to be careful. If we encounter someone we can't deal with, we'll run away first."
At that time, when Divine Doctor Bai warned Chu Yuexi like this, they all felt embarrassed.
As a grown man, if you run away if you can't fight, you will be looked down upon.
However, they believed in Chu Yuexi's character and knew that Chu Yuexi was a responsible person, someone who would not abandon them and run away alone after being defeated.
Knowing that the master's words were embarrassing, Xia Zihan looked away in embarrassment.
Chu Jingqi summoned Gan Song and asked him to take twenty guards to the southeast to look for Doctor Bai. "Remember, no matter whether you find it or not, give us a message within three months." He instructed, "I will leave a hundred officers and soldiers and two carrier pigeons at the entrance outside the mountain."
< br>
"I obey, Prince, don't worry, I will definitely get Doctor Bai back." Gan Song was full of confidence.
However, two months later, he regretted it.
He found Doctor Bai.
But Divine Doctor Bai not only refused to go back with him, but also captured twenty of them and worked for him for free, going up mountains and cliffs to collect medicinal materials for him until a thatched hut was filled with medicinal materials. Divine Doctor Bai was not willing to leave the forest. Gan Song almost knelt down in front of him.
Finally, when the time agreed with Chu Jingqi came, Doctor Bai still refused to leave. Gan Song had no choice but to send five people out of the mountain first to report a safe letter to Chu Jingqi, while he took the remaining fifteen people to Doctor Bai. Collect medicinal materials.
It's been a whole year, a miserable year.
When Gan Song got old, he burst into tears when he thought of the life he lived like a wild beast in the deep mountains and forests.
Doctor Bai, on the other hand, made a lot of profits in more than a year.
When they came out of the mountain, there were more than a dozen people, each carrying a large bag of various prepared pills.
Each of those pills is made of medicinal materials that are rare and old in a hundred years. Each one is priceless, and there is no market for it.
Extremely precious.
Doctor Bai regards them as more precious than treasures.
However, Doctor Bai was thinking of Gan Song and the others for accompanying him for a year. After returning to the capital, he gave each of them a life-saving pill.
There were also pills for stopping bleeding, replenishing blood, relieving pain and healing injuries, and also gave them a few pills. Only then did more than a dozen Gansong people feel that the company and free labor for that year were worth it.
You know, the pills made by Doctor Bai himself cannot be bought with money, let alone the life-saving pills that are rare in a century, it is like having an extra life.
They are the secret guards who walk around on the tip of the knife all year round. Their lives are in danger anytime and anywhere. One more life-saving pill means they have one more life than others.
Of course, this is a later story.
Shortly after Gan Song took twenty guards down the mountain to find Doctor Bai, Chu Cong and Chu Lin came back with baskets full of medicinal materials on their backs.
Putting down her backpack, Chu Lin said to Xia Zihan who came out after hearing the sound, "Princess, there are so many medicinal materials here. Those Miao people may not use the medicinal materials. The medicinal materials nearby have not been touched at all. There are so many medicinal materials that I I don’t want to come back.”
"Princess, we have picked a lot. Please see if it is enough. If it is not enough, we will pick more." Chu Cong put down his backpack and said.
Xia Zihan walked over and flipped through the medicinal materials in the basket on her back. When she saw that the medicinal materials she needed were all there, she said, "There's no need to go there yet. Wash these out first."
