Chen's
While eating, Chen Xiaocai mobilized his cheeks and said, "Brother Lin, your family is going to sell the land, it seems that you are going to sell two acres of land."
"Sell the land, for Lu Chengyu, a future high-ranking official, the old man is willing to do anything." Lu Lin said slightly mockingly.
"Sell the land!" Chen Xiaomi rolled his eyes, seeming to be moved.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi's expression and guessed that Chen Xiaomi wanted to buy land.
Lu Lin has also considered buying land, but Lu Lin is not very interested in the land of the Lu family. If he bought the land over there, he might become entangled with that side.
"How much does it cost for Lu Chengyu to get married!" Chen Xiaomi bit his chopsticks and said in confusion.
Lu Lin thought for a while, and said, "If there are few flowers, I don't think we need to sell the land. I'm afraid it will cost four or fifty taels."
Chen Xiaocai raised his head and said, "More than forty taels?" Chen Xiaocai opened his eyes wide. For Chen Xiaocai, who is used to poverty and has never changed his mind, forty taels is undoubtedly an astronomical sum. "That's too much."
Lu Lin smiled and said: "The Lu family's family background is still very solid."
Chen Xiaomi lay on the bed and said, "The elders of the Lu family treat Lu Chengyu really well!"
"Yes!" Lu Lin shook his head. He is not the original owner. Therefore, knowing that the two elders of the Lu family have done this for Lu Chengyu, he doesn't feel much. In the end, it just ended like this.
Back then, the old man would rather let his son serve in the military than sell the land, but now it's just that Lu Chengyu wants to marry a wife and plans to sell two acres of land.
How dangerous is military service? The old man would have preferred his son to take the risk, even if he didn't want to lose anything.
Lu Lin shook his head and threw out the thoughts in his mind. After all, he is not the original owner, and the Lu family has nothing to do with him.
The Lu family was busy preparing for the wedding, and Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin still rushed to the mountains from time to time.
Lu Lin looked around with great interest. In the depths of the forest, he occasionally encountered some fruit trees that Lu Lin hadn't seen much. Most of the fruits on the fruit trees were sour and astringent, and it was difficult to eat. However, Lu Lin was still willing to try it. Yes, after trying a lot, Lu Lin also found a few good fruit trees.
Chen Xiaomi frowned and said, "There seems to be someone."
Lu Lin glanced at Chen Xiaomi and said, "Is anyone there?"
Chen Xiaomi nodded, and said, "Well, it seems that someone was haunting here just now, it's really strange."
"Maybe the Orion from the village is here." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. The hunters in the village usually don't go so deep, and this footprint is very new. Someone came here."
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin turned around and heard a burst of crying by chance.
Lu Lin frowned. Hearing the crying in the deep forest was really intrusive.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin's terrified expression, blinked, and said in a strange way: "Are you afraid?"
Lu Lin smiled embarrassingly, and said, "Not at all." He was just afraid of bumping into ghosts. After going through this kind of thing, Lu Lin still believed in those strange things. Lu Lin looked at his little boy. Brother's fearless expression made him vaguely feel ashamed.
"It should be the mountain people. Something may have happened. As a last resort, I have to leave my territory."
Hearing what Chen Xiaomi said, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. The so-called mountain people are similar to hunters, but they are somewhat different. Most hunters live in villages and only go out to hunt during the hunting season. Mountain people are different. The mountain people are basically very poor. They dig a cave in the mountain, divide their territory like wild animals, and live a life of raw hair and blood.
The living conditions in the mountains are very poor, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable when you are old. However, being a mountain dweller also has certain advantages. You don’t have to pay taxes, you can eat meat from time to time, and you don’t have to do military service.
There are also many disadvantages. Generally speaking, it is poverty and poor living conditions. If you accidentally get sick and have no money to see a doctor, it is easy to get a minor illness and serious illness, and die directly. Many children of mountain people will die early.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi continued to walk, and saw two children, one was eleven or twelve years old, and the other was seven or eight years old. The younger one seemed to be injured and was crying.
Seeing Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi appear, the older child looked at them with full of alertness.
Lu Lin was a little confused and said: "Why are there two children?" This is a deep mountain, which is very dangerous.
Chen Xiaomi looked at the two children, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid something happened."
The mountain people live a lonely life. Children like this usually live in the mountains with their parents. If the elders in the family die, it will be difficult for the children in the mountains to survive.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi's expression, and his heart flashed a little bit. In this era, before survival was still a very difficult thing, if something happened to Chen Xiaomi, Chen Xiaocai and Chen Xiaomai probably would not end well. Lu Lin Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help turning his head to look at Chen Xiaomi, feeling a little distressed.
"You two, why are you here?" Lu Lin asked.
Qin Lang's face turned red, and he said, "Father is sick, let's go out and find a doctor."
Qin Lang has been moving around in a fixed place in the mountains since he was born. A few days ago, the father of the two, Qin Yi, was bitten by a wild animal and developed a high fever. The mother of the two died of a cold two years ago.
There is no adult in the Qin family, so Qin Lang and Qin Ming had to go out of the mountains to find foreign aid. However, both of them were only half-grown children, and they got lost soon after they came out. Nothing happened, but after walking in the mountains for several hours, both of them were tired and hungry.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at the two of them and said, "It's dangerous for you to do this."
There are still relatively few doctors here. Even if these two boys find a doctor, I am afraid it will not help. Even if the two children are willing to pay, it is unlikely that the doctors in the city will go all the way to the mountains. Qin Lang gritted his teeth and said: "We must find the doctor." For the two brothers, their father is their heaven, and Qin Yi's injury made the two brothers very panic.
Chen Xiaomi looked at the two of them for a while, then suddenly said, "Is your father Qin Yi, Uncle Qin?"
Qin Lang looked at Chen Xiaomi in confusion, and said, "Do you know my father?"
"I've seen it."
Qin Yi's territory is deep in the forest, so it is usually difficult to see.
When Chen Xiaomi first started running into the woods, he would occasionally lose his way. There were times when he had no way to go back, so he had to find a place to spend the night in the mountains.
After wandering in the mountains for a long time, Chen Xiaomi also met Qin Yi several times, and Qin Yi even showed Chen Xiaomi the way. Once Chen Xiaomi was chased up a tree by a wild beast, and was hit by Qin Yi, and it was Qin Yi who drove the wild beast away for him.
Hearing Chen Xiaomi's words, Qin Lang seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, "Can you help us? I can give you money."
Lu Lin asked with interest: "How much money do you have?"
Qin Lang suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Lin.
Lu Lin suddenly realized that he was reckless. The money in the hands of the two children should be life-saving money. It seemed a bit inappropriate for him to ask casually like this.
"I have five hundred Wen." Qin Lang said.
Lu Lin sighed in his heart, only five hundred coins! To be so poor, Lu Lin suddenly felt that he was surprisingly rich. I'm afraid it's impossible to find a doctor to enter the mountain for five hundred Wen.
A doctor's status in this world is still relatively high. It's okay to meet a kind one, but if you meet a dishonest one, spending more than a dozen taels of money may not lead to any improvement.
"Five hundred Wen is not enough to invite a doctor, and even if you find a doctor, he will not follow you into the mountains." Chen Xiaomi said coolly, "Father was bitten and can't move."
Qin Lang lowered his head, he also thought about bringing his father out, but he and his younger brother were too weak, it would be good if they could go down the mountain, they couldn't send the injured father down the mountain at all.
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi followed the two children to find Qin Yi. Qin Yi had fallen into a coma, still had a fever, and his wound was inflamed.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Qin Yi's situation, frowned deeply, and said, "This is it! Have you ever seen such a situation?"
Chen Xiaomi shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it..." Chen Xiaomi lowered his voice and said, "It is said that doctors can't cure such a situation. It's best if you can get over it. , is a dead end, many hunters have died like this.”
Lu Lin: "..." The level of medical treatment is too poor, so we can only resign ourselves to fate in this situation. However, this is not surprising. A cold in modern times may become terminally ill in ancient times.
Chen Xiaomi secretly asked: "You were bitten there, what should you do? Will you die?"
The dead will not, but suffering is unavoidable. "If you are bitten by a puppy on the road, there may not be any accidents. However, just in case, you need to get a rabies vaccine. There are five shots in total, and one shot is not enough. This shot seems to be a good idea. Very guilty."
Chen Xiaomi said enviously, "No need to die! That's great."
Lu Lin sent the two brothers of the Qin family to fetch water. The two brothers were a little uneasy, but they left obediently.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin and said, "Do you have a solution?"
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "I probably know how to deal with it, but whether we can get through it depends on his luck."
Chen Xiaomi nodded, "There is nothing we can do if we can't save them. I heard that many generals were killed on the battlefield, and even the imperial doctor couldn't save them."
Lu Lin took out a bottle of white wine. The wine here is limited by the level of wine making, and the alcohol content is not too high, so the disinfection effect is limited.
In Lu Lin's canteen, most of them are low-alcohol beer, but there are also high-alcohol liquors.
Chen Xiaomi sniffed and said, "It smells so strong!"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "That's natural."
Lu Lin cleaned Qin Yi's wound and released the pus and blood from his body.
The severe pain finally made Qin Yi wake up briefly.
Qin Lang and Qin Ming, who had just come back, heard their father's screams and ran in in fright.
After Qin Yi regained consciousness for a while, he passed out again.
Lu Lin cleaned and disinfected Qin Yi's wound, and secretly mixed antibiotic tablets into the water and fed it to Qin Yi.
Fortunately, there are some commonly used medicines in the canteen, otherwise, Lu Lin really can't help it.
Qin Ming looked at Lu Lin with some concern, and said, "How is my father? Just now my father screamed very badly."
Lu Lin glanced at Qin Ming, and said, "I treated him according to the method I heard, and used a bottle of wine, the kind sold in the town, you know, a bottle is worth three taels of silver. "In fact, the three taels that Lu Lin said are not much. After all, the alcohol content of Lu Lin's wine is very high, and it is possible to sell it for more than a dozen taels.
Qin Ming and Qin Lang were frightened by Lu Lin's high offer, and both of them blushed.
"Alcohol is so expensive!"
Lu Lin glanced at the two brothers and said, "The wound has been treated, what happens next depends on the situation."
The mountain road here is impassable, and it would be very troublesome to take people down the mountain forcibly. Moreover, Lu Lin didn't think that doctors in this era would have any better ways to deal with this kind of wound.
Qin Ming and Qin Lang's stomach growled, and Qin Ming's face couldn't help turning red.
Chen Xiaomi beat two rabbits, one was roasted on the spot, the other was stewed in soup, and the two brothers fed Qin Yi a little broth.
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin didn't eat much, and the rabbits were given to the two children and Qin Yi.
The two children were probably very hungry and devoured their food.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi left first.
Chen Xiaomi shuttled through the forest and murmured, "I don't know if Qin Yi can survive this."
If Qin Yi couldn't make it through, the two children, Qin Ming and Qin Lang, might starve to death in the mountains.
The world has not been peaceful in recent years, and many people starve to death every year. There are too many poor people.
Chen Xiaomi was thinking about going to the mountain again tomorrow, and he couldn't do extra things, the most was to bring some food to the two children, at least to wait for these two days.
Even if Qin Yi wakes up, he may not be able to hunt in a short time, and the Qin family seems to have run out of food. If this continues, even if he does not die of illness, he may die of starvation.
