"What's the point of learning writing?" Wu Dongfang turned over and looked at the old man.
The old man didn't even raise his head, "Remember something."
"Even if you learn this kind of writing, you can only use it to record things. You can't use it with others, and no one else can understand it except me." Wu Dongfang said.
"I know, don't talk." The old man waved his hand impatiently.
Wu Dongfang shook his head, wrapped himself in a quilt and continued to sleep.
In the next few days, the old man just kept busy studying calligraphy and never mentioned the teaching of medical skills. Wu Dongfang did not rush him. When the old man was studying and studying, he only read the prescriptions. He could memorize the prescriptions. Once he knew the prescriptions, he could learn about herbal medicines slowly. Take your time.
The island is divided into four areas. The slaves in each area have a fixed range of activities. There are also doctors in the other three areas. Wu Dongfang has no reason to go to other areas, nor can he get close to the altar. The daily range of activities is the wooden house. , woods, dwellings of slaves.
Not far to the west of the slaves' residence is the toilet. The canal is next to the toilet, and the filth is discharged directly into the river. Although the weather is very cold, the water in the canal does not freeze. The river is more than thirty meters wide, and the water is black and flooded. There was a stench, and there were a few pieces of broken clothing floating on the water.
Wu Dongfang didn't stay by the water for too long. Firstly, the river water was too smelly, and secondly, there were waves rolling out of the water from time to time. There must be some kind of carnivorous fish in the river, feeding on corpses and feces.
Not to mention that there might be biting fish in the river. Even if there weren't, he would never go into the water. If he jumped into such stinking water, he would never be able to wash away the stench from his body.
Yunzhu rarely appears here. He has never been here since the last time. Yamiao has not come again. Soldiers do not patrol in peacetime. Their main task may be to suppress slave rebellions.
A few days later, Wu Dongfang began to plan an escape. He could not stay in this ghost place forever. The Jin clan had no hope and could only rely on themselves.
After a period of observation, he discovered that there are two dams in the northeast and southeast. The northeast corner is the inlet dam, which is very close to the stone tower on the island. In addition, the dam there is very narrow and was not prepared for human traffic when it was built. The top of the dam is not high enough for people to walk on.
The dam in the southeast is the only passage to the outside world and is heavily guarded. To get there, you must first pass through the military camp, which is patrolled by soldiers at night.
If you want to pass through the water, you need a boat, and the conditions for building a boat are obviously not available here. The dam in the northeast is not good either. Every move will be clearly seen by the people living in the stone tower. The southeast direction cannot be considered. There is no shelter around. Even if you escape, you can't hide quickly, and you can't run to the river. Not to mention that the river is frozen now. Even in summer, you can't hide from the wizard by jumping into the water. Hunt.
Waterways and dry roads were not possible, so the only option was to escape from the air. He first thought of hot air balloons, but gave up the idea when he thought of the Tu tribe's heavenly masters who could ascend to the sky and enter the earth. The hot air balloons were too slow to lift off and could not use.
If you can't use a hot air balloon, there is another way to escape from the air, paragliding.
Paragliders are somewhat similar to parachutes, but they are not exactly the same. The main function of parachutes is to land at high altitudes, while paragliders use wind power to fly. There are only two conditions required to use paragliders, one is that there is a paraglider, and the other is that there is strong wind. There are no strict requirements on the height when taking off. You only need to use the wind to open the paraglider to take people into the air.
After thinking about a way to escape, Wu Dongfang began to consider the direction of escape. After observation and consideration, he decided to choose the west as the direction of escape. The north and south were empty, and there was no place to hide if he ran away. Not far to the east was the capital of the Xia Dynasty, where a family lived. Wizard, running there is a trap. There is a jungle five or six miles to the west, which is the best choice.
After determining the escape method and direction, the next thing to do is to sew a paraglider. Although he has never used a paraglider, he is familiar with parachutes. He only needs to slightly modify the parachute to adapt to the low air flow.
Wu Dongfang thought for a while, and went out with a brazier at three or four in the morning. He cut the back of his hand from the woods behind the house, took out the small jade ball and threw it into the brazier. He really wanted to escape. , You must not take this little jade ball with you, otherwise Yunping will be able to find him based on the breath of the jade ball.
In less than three minutes, Yun Ping appeared, appearing next to Wu Dongfang like a ghost without any warning, which startled Wu Dongfang.
"Why did you come so fast?" Wu Dongfang asked. Yun Ping came with his face covered this time.
"What do you need me to do?" Yun Ping raised his hand and took back the burned white jade ball from the brazier.
"It's too cold here. I want a piece of cloth to make clothes and quilts. Also, since the Chinese New Year is coming, I want a pig." Wu Dongfang said.
"These are two requirements." Yunping said.
"Is this difficult for you?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"It's not difficult, but these are indeed two requirements." Yun Ping said.
"Do you want me to do two things for you in the future?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Yun Ping said nothing, Quan took it as his acquiescence.
"Forget it, I want a pig." Wu Dongfang said.
"It will be delivered to you within three days." Yun Ping disappeared after saying that.
Wu Dongfang held the brazier and hummed to imitate Lei Feng when he returned to the wooden house. Although he had only met Yunping once, he knew this man's temper very well. Through Yunping's previous hospitality to him and Yunping's return of the house he won, To those fellow students, it is not difficult to see that this person is very generous. He is willing to give things to people who are weaker than him. If he wants a pig, the other party will definitely give him cloth to show his generosity.
Yunping kept his promise, and on the third day, he sent the pigs, but not one pig, but a group of pigs. Cloth was also delivered, not a piece of cloth, but a cartload.
Yunzhu and his partners gathered the slaves together and told everyone that the wizards and officers on the island reported their work to the court. In order to commend them for their hard work for a year, the court gave everyone pigs to eat. Emperor Xia and Master Xuanhuang blew the whistle, but did not forget to take the credit for themselves. They repeated several times that without their reports, there would be no rewards.
Every time Yun Zhu repeated it, the slaves cheered. Wu Dongfang was upset when he heard it, and in his heart he only hoped that he would quickly divide the pigs and distribute them.
After Yunzhu finished speaking, the officer began to speak again, and his words were so emotional that many slaves in the audience were moved to tears.
While the officer was speaking, the mute girl secretly waved hello to Wu Dongfang in the crowd. Wu Dongfang winked at her hurriedly, and the latter understood and immediately looked away.
After speaking, the pigs were driven to be killed, and the cloth was also taken away, but one pig was left behind, and the cloth was also left behind. Yunzhu and the officer took the pigs, took the cloth to the wooden house and handed it over. He said to the old man and Wu Dongfang, "You usually have a hard time treating slaves. The heavenly masters have specially told you to reward you with a pig and a piece of cloth."
"Thank you, great wizard. Thank you, great wizard. One piece of cloth is not enough for the two of us. Please give us another piece." Wu Dongfang asked shamelessly, but it won't work. There were very few pieces of cloth at this time, even half of the modern ones. No, not enough to sew a paraglider at all.
After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, the old man pulled him and the officer glared at him. However, what they didn't expect was that Wu Dongfang's words did not anger Yun Zhu. Yun Zhu shouted loudly to stop the soldier driving the car and asked him to take another Come here with the cloth.
"You have done a good job. You should learn medical skills from Lao Xiazi in the future so that the captives will be less sick." Yunzhu pretended to praise him.
Wu Dongfang pretended to express his gratitude.
Yunzhu and the officer had enough drama and went back triumphantly.
After the two left, Wu Dongfang tied the pig at the door. The pig at this time was black-haired and not big. This one might weigh a hundred pounds, so it was considered a fat pig at this time.
After tying the pig, Wu Dongfang found that the old man was still standing there with a puzzled look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Wu Dongfang asked.
The old man came to his senses, turned around and walked back, shaking his head as he walked, "What on earth do the Tu people want to do?"
"Don't think so much, what should I do with this guy?" Wu Dongfang pointed at the pig.
"What else can I do? Get the knife." The old man waved his hand.
After cleaning it up, it was stewed. Before it was stewed, the old man ate it, took out the wine hidden under the bed, and drank while eating. Wu Dongfang had finished drinking his wine long ago, so he poured Wu Dongfang a glass for the first time.
After Wu Dongfang took a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and began to spread the cloth. The cloth was twenty meters long and less than one meter wide. There should be some leftover for sewing the umbrella bag, and the remaining part could be twisted into parachute rope.
The old man's attention was all on the meat in the jar, and he didn't care about Wu Dongfang's actions. He took a step back and said that even if he cared, he didn't know what Wu Dongfang was doing.
When the slaves came back from work, the carriage delivering food also came. The smell of the meat made the slaves forget their pain, and they happily went to receive the food. Since no one came to see the doctor, Wu Dongfang stood outside and watched them share the food. Those who eat are the leading group, and it is up to them to decide whether to give more or less.
After watching for a while, Wu Dong ran towards the carriage. He saw the girl being pushed down by the slaves who were sharing the meal.
Wu Dongfang ran over quickly. At this time, the girl had stood up. The people behind her were pushing her, shouting to move quickly and not to block her.
Wu Dongfang ran over and everyone fell silent. The girl, fearing to cause trouble to him, lowered her head and turned to leave with the empty bowl in hand.
Wu Dongfang reached out to hold her, looked down and saw a puddle of water on the ground. Unexpectedly, the slave who shared the meal did not give her meat, but only gave her some soup and porridge.
"Why don't you give her meat?!" Wu Dongfang kicked the slave who shared the meal.
The slave was a little frightened when he saw him interfering. He scooped up a spoonful of meat porridge mixed with sewer and pork and prepared to share it with the girl. Suddenly, someone next to him pressed his hand.
Wu Dongfang tilted his head and looked, it was the tall force who took action.
"Stand still and watch how I beat him to death." Wu Dongfang said to the girl.
The girl hurriedly reached out to hold him, shaking her head nervously.
Wu Dongfang touched her head, turned around and waved to the tall Litou. The latter sneered ferociously and followed her. A group of his accomplices also jumped down from the carriages and approached here.
When the group of soldiers delivering food saw that someone was about to fight, they not only did not stop it, but turned around, holding their weapons, talking and laughing, and prepared to watch the show.
After walking more than ten steps, Wu Dongfang stopped and turned to look at Litou's group. In addition to Litou, there were eight others.
One against nine, there are a lot of opponents, but the unlucky one will not be him, but this group of people. If the number is small, he may aim to subdue them, but when there are more people, they must be killed and cannot be given to the opponent twice. opportunity to attack, otherwise it will be him who suffers.
"Did you cut her tongue?" Wu Dongfang asked, pointing at the shivering girl holding the rice bowl.
Litou did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the group of soldiers, and one of them nodded at him.
"Hahahaha, it's me, it's me who messed with her, hahahaha." Litou laughed, and the people around him also laughed with him.
Wu Dongfang rushed forward quickly, and when he got close, he kicked Litou away with a volley kick. After landing, he wrapped his arms around the other slave's neck, shrugged and used his strength to twist his neck, and lowered his head to avoid the oncoming attack. With his fist, he knocked down one slave with a crouching sweep, and knocked back another slave with his right elbow. He kicked hard with his right foot and hit the chin of the slave who was on the ground and was about to get up. He then rushed to the right to prevent being surrounded by the opponent. He punched one person in the face with his right fist, rushed forward while he was unsteady, hugged the opponent's neck again, raised his left elbow and dropped it sharply, killing another one.
At this time, the force had already rushed forward. Wu Dongfang thought that he could not defeat his opponent physically, so he fell backwards and kicked out the force that had lost the target and leaned forward. The carp stood up, and someone took the opportunity to kick him. This kick hit his chest. Wu Dongfang took advantage of the situation and fell down again. He wrapped his legs around him and knocked down the opponent who was coming forward. The opponent fell to the ground and subconsciously raised his head. Wu Dongfang's right foot came and hit him directly in the chest. hindbrain.
At this time, these slaves began to be afraid. Wu Dongfang never fought head-on with Litou, but instead attacked them first.
But the strength was still there, and he couldn't run away if he was afraid, so he had to bite the bullet. One of the slaves took advantage of Wu Dongfang to attack his accomplice and hugged him from behind. Before he could hold him tightly, Wu Dongfang's head had already hit him. , as soon as the other party let go, Wu Dongfang quickly turned around and hugged his neck again, pinned his head with his elbows, and twisted his shoulders to death again.
The remaining slaves didn't dare to go up anymore. They had discovered that Wu Dongfang was not fighting, but killing.
Litou shouted and rushed over again. Wu Dongfang did not confront him head-on. Instead, he bypassed him and attacked the remaining people. Litou had to be saved until the end. If he died, his accomplices would run away. .
Not dead, his accomplices also started running away. Wu Dongfang rushed forward, kicked one of them down, and kicked him again in the back of the head.
At this time, the soldiers had already begun to move this way. Wu Dongfang didn't care about pursuing them anymore, turned around and ran away.
Being too tall is sometimes not an advantage. Being taller, the chassis is unstable. Wu Dongfang kicked Litou in the crotch. When he was bending over due to abdominal pain, he stepped on Litou's knee with his left foot and used the force to get up. He raised his head and hit Litou's chin. At this time, the soldiers had already shouted loudly and rushed over.
This guy was too big, and such a thick neck couldn't be twisted. Wu Dongfang quickly grabbed a stone, rushed over and hit Litou's head. He saw blood once, bones twice, and flesh three times. Goodbye. **,still**.
By the time the soldiers rushed over and pulled him away, his strength had already been exhausted.
When the soldier was checking Litou's injury, Wu Dongfang shook off the soldier holding him, turned around and rushed towards the remaining survivors who were watching from a distance. When the latter saw him rushing over, they turned around and ran away in fright. Wu Dongfang chased after him.
The slave ran in front, Wu Dongfang chased behind, and behind him was a group of shouting soldiers. No matter how the soldiers yelled, Wu Dongfang would not stop, struggling to catch up with another one, kicking him down, and grabbing his neck when he went up.
"New witch doctor, stop now, you will be the leader from now on." The soldier shouted in the distance.
Wu Dongfang stood up, but before standing up, he still broke the slave's neck.
A group of people panted and chased after them. When they found out that Wu Dongfang had killed them again, they shouted angrily at Wu Dongfang, "Why can't I stop calling you?"
"No, stop it." Wu Dongfang pretended to be innocent.
"Find someone to throw the body into the river." The other party naturally saw that he was pretending to be innocent, but he was too powerful and had killed five or six people with his bare hands. It was better not to offend such a person.
Wu Dongfang walked to the crowd and pointed at a few people at random, "Go and take the bodies away."
Force was the best way to establish prestige at this time. Those people hurriedly agreed and ran over to carry the body.
"You, you, you, you, you, go up and share the food." Wu Dongfang assigned a few more women.
The girl was frightened. Wu Dongfang took her rice bowl and gave her a piece of meat porridge, handed it to her, touched her head again, and then turned back to the wooden house.
The old man stood outside the door, waited for Wu Dongfang to approach, and said, "Congratulations, you have become the leader."
"Litou is a slave, I am not a slave." Wu Dongfang stepped into the room.
"Did you kill them to avenge the female slave?" The old man followed in.
"I hate traitors." Wu Dongfang said.
"Traitor?" The old man couldn't understand the pronunciation.
Wu Dongfang did not explain. He picked up the water can and drank water. After drinking the water, he continued to look at the cloth. Soldiers had to sew their own clothes and quilts. He knew how to use needle and thread, but a paraglider had a curvature and was not made by sewing two pieces of cloth together. It just comes together, you have to cut it into small pieces and sew it again.
He said that if you don't use your strength, you won't use your strength. The next day, he randomly assigned a male slave to give up his strength, and then began to sew paragliders. It is winter now, and there are more northerly and northwesterly winds, but after the beginning of spring, There will be an east wind. If he wants to escape to the west, what he needs is the east wind.
The old man was learning calligraphy and Wu Dongfang was sewing without disturbing each other.
Since he had a lot of free time, Wu Dongfang sewed very quickly and completed the parachute bag in half a month. Then he started making the parachute rope. A lot of needlework was used at the connection between the parachute rope and the parachute bag to ensure that the parachute rope would not tear the parachute bag.
The umbrella bag was folded into a mattress, and Wu Dongfang usually slept on it. Everything was ready except for the east wind.
But before using the wind to escape, he still had two things to do. One was to lose weight. He wanted to take the girl with him, but it was a bit dangerous to carry two people in the umbrella bag, so he had to reduce the weight as much as possible.
The other thing is to find out what is living in the stone tower. Yunzhu once let it slip that the person living in the stone tower may not be a human being. Whether it is a human being or not is not important. What is important is whether this guy can fly. If he can fly, You may be blocked by it when you are escaping...
