Qin Xiao hid behind the thorns and vines, confirming that this was a group of hunters, and was relieved.
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 was because his father was seriously injured.
The uncle is obviously quite prestigious among this group of people, and he commanded everyone to rescue the sheep and his father. The most serious situation for the injured now is that he cannot stop the blood.
Qin Xiao naturally knows that these hunters make a living by hunting. Just in case, they will carry some medicine on their bodies.
But after all, they are all poor people, and there is no real precious medicine.
If it can help stop the bleeding, these people will certainly not be stingy with the medicine. Since they can't stop the bleeding, it can only prove that the wound medicine on their body does not have any effect.
Rescuing people is like fighting a fire, without delay. Once too much blood is lost, it is very likely that you will never wake up again.
Qin Xiao happened to have the gold sore medicine prepared by Hongye for him. He also knew that this kind of wound medicine must be extraordinary. Seeing that the wounded was at stake and he was a poor hunter, he did not hesitate anymore and stood out from behind the thorny vines. , Took out the golden sore medicine, and walked towards this group of hunters.
He appeared suddenly, and the hunters were a little surprised. Someone already asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"
The uncle also stood up, raised his hand and said: "Don't move." He walked forward and looked at it with the moonlight before asking Qin Xiao: "What did you just say?"
"I have medicine to stop the bleeding." Qin Xiao handed over the Jinshuang medicine: "Some of you are injured, try to use it, I am not sure."
"It's not a bad person." The uncle looked at Qin Xiao, although he was in tattered clothes, but he was not old and had a sincere tone. He took the initiative to take out the wound medicine. Naturally, he was not a bad person. He stepped forward and said, "My son, thank you. "
At this time, it is important to save people, and the uncle is also welcome, took the bottle, and went straight to apply medicine to the injured.
Other hunters gathered around, what Qin Xiao thought of, stepped forward and said: "By the way, can you bring wine?"
"Would you like to drink?" A hunter took off the wine bag around his waist: "There is wine here, not good wine, let's do it."
"No." Qin Xiao said: "Before dressing the wound, it is best to wash it with alcohol, so that it will not be infected."
The uncle said: "The baby is right. Clean the wound first. Bring anyone with alcohol."
It took a few moments to finally apply the golden sore medicine to the wounded. Qin Xiao could see from the side that the wound was in the abdomen. A large and deep wound was **** and shocking, but the wound was obvious. It was not caused by a sword, nor was it biting like a beast.
The wound was too big, and a whole bottle of golden sore medicine was applied. Qin Xiao knew that it was important to save his life, and he did not want to give up.
Qin Xiao expected it to be right. The golden sore medicine presented by Hongye was really effective. Less than half of the incense after application, the blood in the wound had already coagulated, so that it would not continue to bleed outward. , The injured were unconscious in a coma.
It's just that since the blood is stopped, there is hope of survival.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The uncle saw that there was nothing left in the golden sore medicine bottle, and was a little embarrassed. He said to Qin Xiao: "My son, the wound medicine is all used up. How much silver is needed? Tell us how much money we need. Here you are."
Qin Xiao waved his hand and smiled: "No need, I found it too, it would be good if it can save my life."
Yang baby had already come over at this time. He was in his early twenties and had a strong body from the Northwest. He knelt down in front of Qin Xiao and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving my life, I will kowtow to you!" He was about to kowtow. Qin Xiao hugged him hurriedly and said, "Don't be like this." He hugged the baby sheep.
"Everyone will rest first." The uncle said: "The sheep baby has just been put on medicine on his father's wound, and he doesn't move. Wait until dawn." Then he ordered people to collect firewood, and it started at the foot of the mountain. At the bonfire, the baby sheep takes care of his father, while the others eat dry food around the bonfire.
Qin Xiao took out the wound medicine and saved the life of Yang Baby's father. The hunters did not dislike Qin Xiao as a stray beggar, but took good care of him. They took out the dry food and let Qin Xiao eat before cleaning the wound. After using a lot of wine, but there is still some leftover, Qin Xiao is not polite, taking two sips, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"Who, where are you from?" The uncle handed Qin Xiao a scone: "Why are you here?"
Qin Xiao had already prepared his remarks and said with a smile: "A few years ago, the people in the village were gone after the plague, and I was the only one who wandered around. Fortunately, I will live to the present."
"A lot of people died that year." The uncle sighed: "Last year there was a famine, and more and more people were begging for a living, but everyone had no surplus and it was not easy to beg."
"Uncle, did you encounter a beast on the mountain?" Qin Xiao took a bite of the biscuits: "Why hurt so badly?"
A person next to him said: "This is still a fortune-telling, at least it can live. In our village, four people have died on the mountain. Well, no, there are no six sons today, and the dog with the surname Luo. Six people died."
Qin Xiao was taken aback: "Six lives?" Looking at the uncle, "What is going on?"
"Mandrill." The uncle smiled bitterly: "There is a mandrill in the mountain. It is very ferocious. Look at the baby goat, his father, who was kicked by the mandrill, flew far away and cut his belly. Fortunately, he lost his life. Great, you have medicine to treat a baby, otherwise you will die here again."
Qin Xiao was even more surprised: "There are mandrills on the mountain?"
"In the past few months, people in the village have gone up the mountain from here to hunt in the depths of the mountains." Uncle explained: "The mandrill was discovered for the first time two months ago. A group of six people, two of them folded in the mountain. One. A month ago, another person was broken. Half a month ago, Yang Wa and his cousin also died in Mandrill’s hands."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but said: "The mandrill is so ferocious, so I want to hunt in another place, why keep coming to this mountain?"
A hunter next to him said in a huff: "It's not for two bear skins. Originally, taxes were paid in the past, and there were precedents. Add up to the whole village to pay 30 skins, and two of them are difficult for tiger skins. Some, but everyone works together and can make it together every year. But since last year, we have to pay two more bear skins on it. This section of the mountain range, only this part of the mountain is haunted by bears. Zhang Xiongpi, the whole village still owes another one. The above said that we cannot hand in three papers this year. Not only will we cancel our hunting rights, but the men in the village will go to the mines to pay taxes for three years." /
When he said this, the faces of other people also showed irritation, but then someone smiled bitterly and helplessly.
The harshness is stronger than the bear!
Qin Xiao knows that the increase in taxes is nothing but the increase in the exploitation of the people by the Zhen family.
Two bear skins are very valuable. For the Orion who even has problems with food and clothing, of course it is impossible to have silver
To buy bear skins, the only way is to go hunting in the mountains and find the blind bears to obtain the skins.
Hunting all the year round for a living, of course, I know the situation on the mountain very well.
Where to hunt tigers and where to slaughter bears, I know very well.
Although going up the mountain to catch bears is extremely dangerous, compared to taxation, hunters can only go up the mountain desperately.
The uncle sighed: "If you can't kill mandrills, it will be difficult to catch bears in this mountain area. It may take two or three months to find a bear, but it may not be what you want. In October, the leather will be handed in. , We can only find a way to kill the mandrill first."
The Han Bo and others may not really want to tell Qin Xiao the cause and effect of the matter. It is just that in order to pay taxes and bet with their lives, they will inevitably feel resentment. There will be casualties tonight, and their hearts are bitter. Come out to resolve grievances in your heart.
"Then you hurt Mandrill?" Qin Xiao asked.
"Shit." A hunter complained: "We know that the mandrill is powerful, walking in the mountains, like walking on the ground, no matter how many people, it may not be able to hurt the mandrill. Everyone discusses and asks the ranger to take action. For help, we heard that the rangers are all martial arts and powerful. No matter how powerful the mandrill is, it is by no means an opponent of the ranger. As long as we find the ranger and let him take us to round up the mandrill, the mandrill will not survive."
Qin Xiao wondered if there were really martial arts masters to help, plus a group of hunters, it would really be possible to kill mandrills.
"We went to the town and inquired about the martial arts rangers, but we met a few, but their eyes were higher than the top, they didn't look down on us, and they said that their kung fu is not used to deal with livestock." The hunter annoyed: " We waited for several days, and finally found a ranger named Luo. He looked strong and mighty. He was carrying a big knife and a stone pier measuring 200 kilograms. He could lift it up with one hand. We explained the reason, and we collected it. Twenty taels of silver, as long as he can help us kill the mandrill, twenty taels of silver will belong to him."
"He naturally agreed." Qin Xiao said.
The uncle sighed: "We have high hopes for him. We only think that Ranger Luo will kill the mandrill. When he arrives in our village, we entertained us for two days with delicious food and drink, and we paid a dozen silvers first. Deposit. Yesterday at noon we set off to go up the mountain. We set up an ambush and waited for the mandrill to appear. Until today, at noon, the mandrill finally appeared. Everyone had discussed it. After the mandrill appeared, we first Shooting bows and arrows, the ranger shoots again, as long as the mandrill is injured, everyone rushes forward, and desperately kills the mandrill."
"What happened then?"
"Later?" The hunter on the side sipped, "As soon as the mandrill came out, the man surnamed Luo was so scared that he didn't dare to go up, but he turned and ran away. When the mandrill saw him, he easily caught up with the man surnamed Luo. , Grabbed one of his legs, shaken it for ten times, and fell alive."
Qin Xiao was stunned, thinking that the mandrill was really ferocious.
"Everyone saw that the situation was not good, and hurried to retreat. The mandrill chased it, and his father used an iron fork to pierce it. He kicked it on his stomach and kicked it out." The uncle sighed, "Tummy After being cut by a tree branch, the baby sheep carried his father and ran away. We shot the mandrill back with a bow and arrow. The mandrill rushed over and grabbed the six sons. Everyone knew that they could not rescue them, so they took the opportunity to retreat and the six fell into the hands of the mandrill. We also saved our lives." With a wry smile, "Six sons fell into the hands of Mandrill, so naturally they won't survive."
