Qin Xiao hid behind the bushes of thorns and determined that this was a group of hunters.
Just listening to what they said, it seems that when hunting in the mountains, they encountered great troubles, and even suffered casualties. The crying baby named Yangwa cried because his father was seriously injured.
Han Bo is obviously quite prestigious among this group of people, directing the people to rescue Yang Wa and his father. The most serious situation of the injured now is that he cannot stop the blood.
Qin Xiao naturally knew that these hunters depended on hunting for their livelihood. In case of accident, they would carry some wound medicine on their bodies.
But after all, they are poor people, and there is no real precious medicine.
If they can help stop bleeding, these people will certainly not be stingy with the drugs on their bodies. Since they cannot stop the bleeding, they can only prove that the wounded drugs on them can't really do much.
Saving people is like delaying a fire. Once the blood drains too much, it may not wake up.
Qin Xiao happened to have the golden sore medicine prepared by him with red leaves. He also knew that this kind of wound medicine was definitely not normal. Seeing that the injured person was in danger, and was a poor hunter, he didn't hesitate anymore and stood out from behind the bush of thorns and took it out. Gold sore medicine, toward the group of hunters.
He appeared suddenly, the hunters were a little surprised, someone already asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
Han Bo also stood up and raised his hand: "Don't move." He stepped forward and looked at Qin Xiao through the moonlight. "What did you just say?"
"I have a hemostatic medicine." Qin Xiao handed over the gold sore medicine: "Some of you are injured. Try it or not. I'm not sure."
"It's not a bad person." Han Bo saw that although Qin Xiao was ragged, but he was not old, he had a sincere tone, and he took the initiative to take out the wound medicine. Naturally, he was not a bad person. He stepped forward and said: "Wazi, thank you."
At this time, it is important to save people, Han Bo is also polite, took the bottle, and applied medicine to the injured from the past.
Qin Xiao thought about what the other hunters were all around, and said, "Yes, can you bring wine?"
"Do you want to drink?" A hunter untied the wine bag around his waist: "Here, it's not good wine, just do it."
"No." Qin Xiaodao said: "Before applying the wound, it is best to wash it with alcohol to prevent infection."
Han Bo said: "Wazi is right, first clean the wound, and take all the wine."
Several people spent a moment, and finally put the gold sore medicine on the injured person. Qin Xiao could see clearly next to him. The wound was in the abdomen. A large and deep wound was and frightening, but the wound was obviously not a knife and gun. To the end, it is not like a beast biting.
The wound was too big, and a whole bottle of gold sore medicine was put on it. Qin Xiao knew that saving his life was important, and he did not give up.
Qin Xiao expected it to be true, the gold sore medicine donated by Hongye was really effective. Less than half a scent of incense was applied, the blood at the wound had coagulated, so it could not continue to bleed out, and the injured Wu was in a coma, unconscious.
But now that the blood has stopped, there is hope for life.
Everyone was slightly relieved. Han Bo saw that there was no trace of gold sore in the bottle. Somewhat embarrassed, he said to Qin Xiao: "Wazi, the wound medicine is all used up. How much money do you want? You say it, we will make it for you. "
Qin Xiao waved his hands and said with a smile: "No need, I picked it up, it's good to save my life." Yangwa had already come over at this time. He was in his early twenties, with a strong body from the Northwest, kneeling down in front of Qin Xiao, Grateful: "Thank you for your life-saving grace, I'll give you a prod!" Qin Xiao hugged and hugged, said: "Don't do that." He took the baby up.
"Everyone rests first." Han Bo ordered: "Yangwa's father's wound was just covered with medicine, so he couldn't move, and he would wait until dawn." Then he ordered people to pick up firewood, and a bonfire was born at the foot of the mountain, sheep The baby is taking care of his father, while the others eat dry food around the campfire.
Qin Xiao took out the wound medicine to save Yangwa's father's life, and the hunters didn't think Qin Xiao was a wandering beggar. Instead, he took care of him. He took out the dry food and let Qin Xiao eat it before cleaning the wound. There was little wine, but there was still some left. Qin Xiao was also polite. He took two bites and felt uncomfortable.
"Wazi, where are you from?" Han Bo handed Qin Xiao a scones: "How did you get here?"
Qin Xiao had already prepared his remarks and smiled: "In the past few years, the people in the village have disappeared, leaving me alone, wandering around.
"A lot of people died that year." Han Bo sighed: "Last year was famined again, more and more people begged to make a living, but everyone had no surplus food, and it was not easy to beg for food."
"Han Bo, did you encounter a beast on the mountain?" Qin Xiao took a bite of biscuits: "How come it hurt so badly?"
A person next to him said: "This is fortune-telling, at least alive. Four people have died on the mountain in our village. Well, that's wrong. Today's six sons are gone, and the dog with the surname Luo is broken. This is about six lives. ."
Qin Xiao was taken aback: "Six lives?" Looking at Han Bo said: "What the is going on?"
"Mandrill." Han Bo smiled bitterly: "There is a mandrill in the mountain, which is very fierce. You look at Yangwa and his father, but he was kicked by the mandrill, and flew out into the far away, cut his belly. Shangwazi, you have medicine to cure, otherwise you will die here."
Qin Xiao was even more surprised: "A mandrill on the mountain?"
"In the past few months, people in the village have gone uphill from here to hunt deep in the mountain range." Han Bo explained: "The mandrill was found for the first time two months ago. A group of six people, two of them folded in the mountain. A month ago, Another man was folded. Half a month ago, Yang Wa and his cousin died in the hands of the mandrill."
Qin Xiao couldn't help saying: "The mandrill is so fierce, so he went to another place to hunt. Why should he always come to this mountain?"
The hunter next to him did not have good air: "It wasn't for two bearskins. It used to be a case of paying taxes. There are 30 cases in the whole village. Two tigerskins are more difficult, but Everyone works together and can get together every year. But from last year on, we have to make two more bear skins. In this section of the mountain, only this piece of the mountain is only blind with bears. Last year, we finally got a bear skin. The whole village still owes one piece. It is said above that this year we can’t hand over three skins. Not only will we cancel our hunter rights, but the men in the village will also go to Baigan, a mine, to pay tax for three years."
He said this, the other people's faces also showed an angry look, but then someone smiled bitterly, but helpless.
Harsh politics is more fierce than Xiong Ye!
Qin Xiao knew that the increase in taxes was nothing more than the Zhen family's increased exploitation of the people.
The two bear skins are of great value. For hunters who have problems with food and clothing, of course, there is no way to buy bear skins with silver. The only way is to go up the mountain to hunt and find the blind bears to obtain their skins.
Hunting for a living all year round, of course, is also very clear about the situation on the mountain.
Where to hunt tigers and slaughter bears is very clear in my heart.
Although it is extremely dangerous to catch bears in the mountains, hunters can only go to the mountains desperately compared with taxation.
Han Bo sighed: "If you can't kill mandrills, it will be difficult to catch bears in this mountainous area. To find a bear, it may take two or three months not necessarily as expected. In October, the skin will be handed over, we only Can find a way to kill the mandrill first."
Han Bo and others may not really want to tell Qin Xiao about the causes and consequences of things, but everyone is betting in order to pay taxes and make a bet with their lives. It is inevitable that they will be angry. Tonight, there will be casualties, and the heart will be bitter. Resentment in my heart.
"Then you hurt the mandrill?" Qin Xiao asked.
"Fart." A hunter complained angrily: "We know that the mandrill is very powerful, walking in the mountains and walking on the ground, even if there are more people, it may not hurt the mandrill. Everyone discusses, find the Jianghu Ranger to help, we I heard that these rangers are all powerful martial arts, and no matter how powerful the mandrill is, it is definitely not a rival to the ranger. As long as the ranger is found and let him take us to round up the mandrill, the mandrill will not survive."
Qin Xiaoxunsi If there are really martial arts masters to help, plus a group of hunters, it is really possible to kill the mandrill.
"We arrived in the town and inquired about the martial arts strong rangers, but they met a few, but their eyes were above the top, they couldn't look at us, and they said that their kung fu was not used to deal with livestock." The hunter annoyed: "We waited For a few days, I finally found a Ranger named Luo. He looked strong and majestic. He carried a large knife and a large stone pier of two hundred pounds. He could lift it up with one hand. Silver, as long as he can help us kill mandrills, twenty-two silvers will belong to him."
"He naturally agreed." Qin Xiaodao said.
Han Bo sighed: "We have high hopes for him, and only thought that Ranger Luo shot, that mandrill will definitely die. He arrived in our village, we were delicious and entertained for two days, and also paid a deposit of twelve silver, yesterday At noon we set off to the mountain and went deep into the place where the mandrill infested, and set up an ambush, waiting for the mandrill to appear. Until today at noon, the mandrill finally appeared, and everyone had a good discussion. After the mandrill appeared, we first shot with a bow and arrow. The Ranger shoots again, as long as he hurts the mandrill, the guys swarm up, and they will kill the mandrill.
"What happened then?"
"Later?" The hunter took a sip. "As soon as the mandrill came out, the man with the surname Luo was frightened, but he not only dared not go up, but also turned around and ran. When he saw the mandrill, he easily caught up with the surname Luo and caught him. Took one of his legs, threw it a dozen times, and fell alive."
Qin Xiao was stunned, thinking that the mandrill was really fierce.
"Everyone sees that the situation is bad, and retreats in a hurry. The mandrill chases over, Yangwa and his father use an iron fork to pierce it, and he kicks it on his stomach and kicks out." After the scratch, Yangwa backed his father and ran. We shot back the mandrill with a bow and arrow. The mandrill flew over and caught the six sons. The guys knew that they could not rescue them and took the opportunity to retreat. The six sons fell into the hands of the mandrill. Saved his life." Wry smile said: "Six son fell into the hands of the mandrill, naturally can not survive."
