Chapter 3: Medicine cures the disease
Liu Chang reached out and pushed open a broken wooden board called the door.
The air in the house was turbid, there was almost nothing in the house, and there were only a few clay jars on the ground. The ground was also uneven, and there were signs of excessive fire in many places.
A skinny boy was lying on the earthen kang, looking like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. He was covered with dry thatch and his chest was slightly undulating, proving that he was still alive.
Seeing this situation, Liu Chang didn't say anything nonsense. He took out the medicine from his bag and gave it to the boy to drink. He then washed the pottery jar on the ground with the water from his big kettle, broke the biscuits he brought, soaked them in water, and fed them to the boy.
"Hey, I hope you can get through it."
After saying that, Liu Chang was about to turn around and leave, and took two steps and turned around, took off his thick clothes and covered the boy's body.
Finally, he left the room without saying a word.
Liu Chang returned to the haystack and looked up at the stars in the sky. He couldn't help but think a lot and gradually fell asleep.
A middle-aged man ran into a room that was barely looking at, and shouted: "Third uncle, that beardless man is gone. When I went there, I saw him lying beside the haystack and watching the stars. When he came back, he was gone."
The old man who was leading the way glared at him and said, "Don't panic, have you searched for him in the village?"
The middle-aged man said incoherently: "After I found out that he was missing, I searched around the village for a few times, but I didn't see him. I'm afraid this person is not a monster."
The old man seemed to be muttering in his heart and asked again: "What did that person do in the village before?"
The middle-aged man said, "I saw him and Shi Tou go to Ergouzi's house before. Before I came, I went to ask Shi Tou. He said that the man went to see Ergouzi's doctor, and he didn't know after that. I went to Ergouzi's house to check it out. The man's clothes were covered with Ergouzi. I was afraid that the man was a monster and didn't dare to move his clothes."
"It's really strange."
"What if that person cured Ergouzi?"
"If Ergouzi is cured, let him follow the man to be a follower and ask Ergouzi to tell him that he will definitely repay his life-saving grace. Anyway, he is the only one in their family, and that man doesn't look like a bad person. He should not starve to death when he follows him, and it can be considered a way out for Ergouzi. That person must have left."
Liu Chang opened his eyes at his home again.
I turned on the computer and Baidu first Baidu Xialiwu County. This place is in Jizhou and belongs to Boling. I also checked Guanghe Nian. It was not far from the Yellow Turban Uprising, but I don’t know how many years it will be.
"I have to buy a few clothes that matched the times. It may be inconvenient to communicate with others in a down jacket." So I bought a few Hanfu online and asked on a certain Hu: "What should I do if I traveled to the Yellow Turban Rebellion?"
Finally, with the mentality of temporarily hushing Buddha's feet, Liu Chang began to read the Three Kingdoms.
Liu Chang wore a coat again, hugged his backpack and weapon and fell asleep again.
Then, Liu Chang woke up next to the haystack.
Liu Chang looked at the sky and felt it was still early, so he thought about lying next to the haystack. After thinking about it, he should go and see what happened to Ergouzi. So he got up and went to Ergouzi's house.
Liu Chang walked into Ergouzi's house again and it was obvious that the medicine was still effective. His fever was no longer too serious. He also woke up.
Ergouzi saw someone coming in and asked, "Who are you?"
Liu Chang thought about it, and then deliberately said in a faint tone: "Well, a passing man is just me who saved your life."
When Ergouzi heard this, he struggled from the kang, lay on the ground, and kowtowed to Liu Chang.
Liu Chang quickly helped him up. In fact, Liu Chang just wanted to pretend to be a pussy. After receiving the big gift, Liu Chang felt a little embarrassed.
Liu Chang helped Ergouzi to his earthen kang again.
Ergouzi said: "I don't know your name yet, benefactor."
Liu Changfa replied: "Liu Chang, are you called Ergouzi?"
Ergouzi replied: "My name is Zhao Ergou, and everyone in the village calls me Ergouzi."
Liu Chang continued to ask: "I see that there is no food in your house, what will you do afterwards?"
"During this time, I went out to find some weeds to eat. It was drought in the first half of the year. Everyone had no food to eat." He sighed again: "Hey, let's find a way then."
When Liu Chang heard this, he felt very uncomfortable and could only comfort him and said, "There will always be a solution."
Liu Chang thought that the war that followed would last year, so he stopped talking.
While the two were silent, the old man who had taken the lead before also came to Zhao Ergou's house with a few middle-aged people.
The old man stared at Ergouzi meaningfully and said, "Young man is such a good method. You can cure Ergouzi in one go. Ergouzi, you have to repay this young man with great pleasure."
Liu Chang quickly said modestly: "It's all good luck, and it's also thanks to his own good health."
The old man continued: "You little boy, don't be humble anymore. If we get sick, we will step into the Hall of Hell with half of our feet. Only those of us, such as the great wise mentors and you, are willing to treat us."
The middle-aged man next to the old man quickly followed the conversation and said to Ergouzi: "Ergouzi, this man didn't know what precious magic medicine he used to cure you. We must repay him."
Ergouzi heard these words and said quickly: "I will definitely repay my benefactor."
When the old man heard this, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Ergouzi, you can't lose the reputation of being loyal to us in Jizhou."
Liu Chang listened to this and said, "It's okay, it's really not a particularly expensive thing."
After thinking about it, Liu Chang smiled and said, "I probably understand what you mean. I will save people to the end. If Zhao Ergou is willing to follow me, why should I take him with me?"
After hearing this, the old man slapped Zhao Ergou and said, "Why don't you get up and kowtow to Xiaolangjun quickly, and you can follow Xiaolangjun from now on. You have made good luck this time. Seeing that Xiaolangjun is so righteous, you will definitely not be hungry in the future."
Zhao Ergou got up again and kowtowed to Liu Chang, saying affirmatively: "I am willing to follow the young master."
The old man continued to say to Liu Chang: "If Ergouzi doesn't like you, the little man will beat and scold him at will. He can give him a treat, so don't starve to death."
Liu Chang was still silent.
The old man touched Ergouzi's head again and said, "Don't blame me, old man, now at this age, it's not easy to not starve to death. You can serve the young man with him. Originally, he saved your life."
Liu Chang said: "Then I will stay for another two days and wait for Ergouzi to go. I will take him away from here."
The old man responded: "Just as the young man said."
After saying that, the old man left here with his people.
