Chapter Four Going Home
Qin Fengming returned home safely, which made his mother overjoyed. She hurriedly held him in her arms, choking and unable to speak.
"Mom, I'm fine. Didn't I come back safely?" Qin Fengming comforted her mother while shedding tears in her arms.
"It's okay, it's okay." The mother held Qin Fengming's hand with her hands and looked carefully. She found that except for the damaged clothes on her body, there were no injuries, and she immediately felt relieved.
Qin Fengming wiped away her tears, thought of her grandfather, and hurriedly asked: "Where is my grandfather, is he seriously injured?"
"Grandpa's leg was injured and he is lying on the bed. Go and have a look quickly so that Grandpa can rest assured."
Qin Fengming did not hesitate and ran to his grandfather's room. Before he reached the room, a voice had already sounded: "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm back. How is your injury?"
Entering the room, grandma was sitting by the bed taking care of grandpa drinking water. Hearing Qin Fengming's call, grandpa propped himself up with his elbows, sat up forcefully, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and recognized Qin Fengming clearly, and immediately smiled, as if he was injured.
Reduced a lot.
Grandma immediately hugged Qin Fengming and asked him if he was injured while weeping.
It turned out that when the wild boar pushed Qin Fengming off the cliff, his grandfather and father happened to be approaching the wild boar. When they saw Qin Fengming rolling down the cliff, they immediately panicked and started attacking the wild boar from behind with steel forks at the same time.
The wild boar was stabbed in the buttocks by Qin Hong and became even more angry. He turned around and rushed straight towards Grandpa. Grandpa responded calmly and stabbed the running wild boar in the eye with the steel fork.
With the blood splattering, one of the wild boar's eyes was stabbed by a steel fork.
Under the inertia of the wild boar, which was in extreme pain, it still wounded Grandpa. Its fangs opened a large gash in Grandpa's calf, and the bones were visible inside.
The wild boar was also seriously injured and did not bother to attack the two of them again and fled deep into the mountain.
Seeing that his son fell off a cliff and his father was injured, Qin Hong was immediately heartbroken. He quickly checked his father's injury and saw that the wound was serious. He immediately found some herbs around. He chewed them with his mouth, applied them to the wound, and covered his father's body with a cloth.
Wrap the wound.
Then he went to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and found that there was no bottom. He shouted down several times, but there was no response.
Facing the tall cliff, Qin Hong had no way to go down to the cliff for the time being. He could only endure the grief in his heart and move his father to a safe place before running back to the village to inform the clan leader about the incident and invite reinforcements.
The grandfather and grandson were telling the story. Qin Hong and other villagers received the news and came back one after another from the mountains.
When they saw Qin Fengming, everyone found that Qin Fengming had no trace of injury on his body. Everyone was shocked when they saw this.
After being questioned by everyone, Qin Fengming gave a brief account of what happened after he fell off the cliff. However, he omitted the incident of eating the pearl fruit and picking up the small gourd. Why this was so, Qin Fengming himself could not explain.
.
When all the villagers heard that Qin Fengming killed a nearly two-foot-long python on his own, they were all surprised. They all showed disbelief.
Qin Fengming did not defend himself, but directly took out the bag containing snake skins and snake galls and placed them in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked to see such a long python. Even an adult could only run away when encountering such a big python. How could a ten-year-old child kill it? How could everyone not be surprised?
It was only then that Qin Hong had time to see his father's injury. When he saw it, Qin Hong was shocked. Although his father's wound had been covered with herbs, the injury was too serious this time. He only relied on the native methods of the mountain people.
It is impossible to heal this injury.
Qin Hong briefly gave instructions to everyone at home and asked the villagers to take care of him. Without any further delay, he went straight to the doctor dozens of miles away to ask for help.
Everyone waited until ten o'clock in the evening before they saw Qin Hong coming back with the only old horse in the village. Immediately sitting was an old man of seventy or eighty years old, holding a small box in his arms. Although the old man was already quite old,
, but very hale and hearty.
After careful inspection by the old man, he found that the wound was very serious. After pondering for a long time, the old man prescribed a prescription for both external application and oral administration.
The old gentleman pointed at the prescription and said with hesitation:
"In addition to Agrimony (also known as Agrimony, which has the effects of stopping bleeding, strengthening the heart, antibacterial, and anthelmintic), other medicinal herbs should be sold in Tenglong Town pharmacies. Whether this Agrimony exists, you need to go to
Try your luck, if we really can't find it, we'll think of other ways."
After dinner, Qin Fengming came to his father's house and listened to his parents discussing about going to Tenglong Town to buy herbs tomorrow.
Qin Hong sat on a small wooden stool and pondered for a long time before he said: "This time, I will sell the snake skin, snake gallbladder, and the mountain marten that the third son brought back. The silver taels exchanged should be enough to buy medicinal herbs.
But whether there is the Aralia japonica that the old gentleman mentioned, we can only try our luck."
After listening to his parents' negotiation, Qin Fengming was eager to give it a try.
"Dad, let me go with you tomorrow. I haven't been to the town for a long time and I miss my second brother."
Before Qin Hong could speak, his mother, who was sitting next to him, said, "No, you just came back. You have been alone in the mountains for three days and three nights. You must be very tired. You should stay at home."
"I'm not tired. I'll be fine after a nap. Besides, there are wild fruit springs in the mountains, so I don't have to suffer much. Let me go, mother." Qin Fengming looked at his mother and started to say coquettishly.
After arguing for a long time, her mother saw that Qin Fengming really wanted to go, so she said no more. She just told him not to run around in the town.
After hearing this, Qin Fengming returned to his room with joy, sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about going to Tenglong Town tomorrow.
While he was thinking about it, his hand unconsciously touched something on his chest. He was startled and then he remembered the little gourd. So he closed the door, looked around and saw that no one was around, took out the green gourd and put it on the table.
Under a pine oil lamp.
Under the illumination of the light, the entire gourd looks small and exquisite, and is unusually green. The five clouds on the gourd are even more brilliant, as if they are floating.
Holding the small gourd in his hand, Qin Fengming was very happy. He knew that this little gourd must be a treasure. Although he was a child at heart, he also knew that wealth should not be exposed. He was determined not to let anyone else discover the existence of this little gourd.
He picked up the small gourd and shook it vigorously. It seemed that there was something inside, but he was not sure, so he held the gourd with one hand and the lid with the other, and twisted it hard, but it still didn't move at all.
The thought of what is in the gourd has always tempted Qin Fengming.
So he found a pair of small fire pliers, clamped the lid of the gourd with the pliers, and tried hard again, but still had no intention of opening it. Looking at the small green gourd in front of him, Qin Fengming had no choice but to wait until he got stronger.
