Perfect World

Chapter 5 Medicinal Bath

In the cruel wilderness where ferocious birds and beasts are infested and life is threatened from time to time, the villagers' requirements are very simple. As long as they have food and are full, they are satisfied.

The bonfire was beating and the stone village was very lively. Men, women, old and young were all smiling and full of laughter.

"Children, stop running around. Come take a medicinal bath soon. Get a good night's sleep. You will be stronger than ferocious beasts in the future." An old man said with a smile.

"Ouch... no!" A group of children all screamed and fled to various parts of the village.

"A bunch of melon seeds are so blessed. It is a rare tonic. If you can take the medicine bath for a long time, your muscles and bones can be comparable to those of giant beasts." The adults scolded and started to catch their children like chickens.

"It hurts. I don't want to take a medicinal bath. It was like a knife cutting me last time."

"Abba, let go, I don't want to be cooked."

A group of children resisted fiercely, but their little arms could not twist their thighs, so they were all captured.

In an open space in the village, eight large copper cauldrons have been placed. The fire is blazing below and the water in the cauldron is boiling. Several old people throw herbs into them, and from time to time they put in a few feet. Long centipedes, fist-sized spiders, etc. made the originally very clear water turn black, like ink, which was scary.

A group of children's faces turned green at that time, and they wanted to run away immediately, but they were held down by the adults.

Later, some tribesmen brought dozens of clay pots. Several old people took them, opened them carefully, and poured some of the bright red liquid into the large copper cauldron. As a result, the black water boiled even more.

This is a small amount of real blood taken from the bodies of those hunted ferocious beasts. It is very precious and can enhance physical fitness whether used by adults or children. In addition, the villagers have a few ancient prescriptions, and when combined with some herbs, the effect of true blood will be even better.

In addition to the real blood, several old people also had the wing bones of the flying python and the foot bones of the Kui beast crushed into pieces and thrown into the boiling water.

When the fire went out and the water in the cauldron stopped boiling. After the water temperature dropped slightly, screams and "pop-pop-pop" sounds were heard. The first batch of babies were thrown in, and there were two or three people in the cauldron.

"It hurts. This water can boil people."

"Help, my body feels like it has been chopped with a knife, the skin and flesh are all torn apart!"

They grinned, grabbed their hands and kicked their feet, and rushed out one by one, only to be pushed back and screamed again and again.

In this way, dozens of children were thrown in one after another. Most of them screamed fiercely and struggled constantly. Only seven or eight children were slightly better. Although they were sweating profusely in pain, they endured without saying a word. .

As for the little one, he couldn't escape, and was given special care. He was thrown into a black cauldron alone. Only a little water was added to it, and the rest was the true blood of ferocious beasts, broken bones, etc.

The villagers didn't feel it was inappropriate, nor did they feel that they were favoring one over the other, because their child couldn't bear it and cried heartbreakingly in the ordinary medicine cauldron, but the little one could tolerate it.

In addition, when the viscous liquid in the black cauldron used by Xiao Bu Dian boiled, the old patriarch also opened two special clay pots and poured the liquid into the cauldron one by one.

A streak of red cloud bursts out of one of the jars, condensing into a brave head with long palms, powerful and ferocious, as if it wants to tear people apart and escape, with extremely ferocious nature. Luminous characters appeared on Shi Yunfeng's palm, and the bone inscriptions lit up. He scattered the Pixiu with a slap, turned it into blood, and fell into the cauldron.

From another jar, a two-headed rhinoceros emerged, as red as fire, brilliant and frightening. It raised its head and roared angrily. It was also shot away by the old patriarch and fell into the black cauldron.

When the water temperature dropped slightly, the little boy was picked up and thrown into the cauldron. He struggled hard because he was still young and would choke on the water when he sat in it. When he first fell in, he took a few big gulps.

The children opposite showed sympathy, and suddenly felt that they were very lucky. The medicinal solution that only added a small amount of water and was mainly composed of special true blood, animal bones, tendons, etc. would definitely make people's skin and bones more painful. The little one was really Pitiful.

Even some adults couldn't bear it, because it was a bit worrying to see the little guy struggling hard, grinning, and taking a few gulps of viscous liquid from time to time.

"It's okay, it's not the first time. He has been like this before and can bear it. It would be good to drink more medicine. If he can absorb it, it will be of great benefit to him." The old patriarch said, he was conditioning and taking care of the little one. Sometimes very rough.

"He has a very strong physique. In addition, the mysterious power of the bone inscriptions may also be operating, helping him refine some of the medicinal power. The little one shouldn't be in much pain." Another old man said, stroking his beard.

The medicinal bath lasted for a long time. A group of children were soaked like red-skinned monkeys. They were all miserable. They looked at each other and shed tears. It was not until the medicinal bath was over that they stopped crying and were finally relieved.

The little one didn't cry when he was in the black cauldron, his big eyes were rolling around, and his little face was as red as a big apple, but when he was taken out, he was staggering like a drunk.

"How do you feel?" asked an old man.

The little guy burped and said confusedly: "I'm full."

Listening to his heartless and simple response, the adults were all amused.

"Sleepy." The little one swayed and fell into Shi Yunfeng's arms. He muttered softly, then babbled slightly, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Take these children to have a good sleep. They will have a lot of strength tomorrow." The patriarch Shi Yunfeng said.

Finally, several old men collected the remaining liquid and did not waste it. Instead, they added fire to the copper cauldron and put some special herbs into the cauldron to boil them and make them into powder. This is not only a tonic, but also a healing medicine. Taking it with you when you go hunting in the mountains can save your life.

The living environment is harsh, ferocious beasts are difficult to hunt, and true blood is rare and expensive. Otherwise, we would not continue to boil it into medicine powder after the children have used it, and they would not be willing to waste it at all.

Of course, the young adults in the village don't care, as long as applying it to the wound can save lives.

The children slept very deeply that night. When they woke up the next day, many of the little ones screamed because they had pieces of old skin falling off their bodies and the bed was dirty.

"Go, get a bucket of well water to wash yourself clean, and then lift the millstone for me."

"Abba, that is what third brother uses to exercise his strength. How can I lift it?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just lift it if you want. Was all that true blood and bone medicine used last night in vain? If there is no growth, I will slap your butt into eight petals!"

In the early morning, there was a lot of excitement in the stone village. A group of children were forced to move big rocks and carry bronze tripods, and they complained repeatedly.

The effect is really obvious. The children have gained a lot of strength and their physical fitness has been significantly enhanced. However, to say that they have been completely transformed is a bit too much and is unrealistic.

"Kacha kacha"

At the head of the village, the runes on the palm of the patriarch Shi Yunfeng were bright. He held a purple gold hammer and smashed the most rare piece of dragon horn from the dragon horn elephant. Then he took a section of the claw bone of Pixiu and a small section of the red horn of the fire rhinoceros. , also smashed, and finally ground into powder. He mixed these bone horn powder with some of the ferocious beast's true blood, and put them into the boiling animal milk, and the aroma suddenly became aromatic.

Then, the old man threw in one strange herb after another. After a short time, the liquid in the clay pot gradually turned into a paste, but the aroma became stronger.

"Little one, it's time to eat."

In the stone house, the little guy Gulu suddenly sat up after hearing the shouting. His big eyes were still confused when he woke up, but after the fragrance came, he quickly moved his little nose a few times and immediately became energetic and murmured. Said: "It smells so good."

"Of course, this is a real pot of precious medicine. Don't waste any of it. Eat it all." Shi Yunfeng said with a smile.

The little one wolfed down the paste in the clay pot in a short time, but the negative effects immediately appeared. After all, he was still too young, and the medicine was too strong. On this morning, the usually cute little boy transformed into a problem child, with a pair of big red eyes like a white rabbit, running around and barking non-stop.

After he caught the poor big yellow dog by its tail, he pulled it so hard that the end of its tail was almost bald. It barked for a long time, making the whole village noisy and restless.

"Hey, little one, why are you pulling up the fence at Auntie's house?"

"What's wrong with the little guy? Why did he run to the roof of my house? Stop it quickly. Don't tear down the tiles!"

The villagers were shocked. The usually well-behaved little boy turned into a ferocious beast and ran around, but he was very tormented.

"All the medicine has been absorbed, and the effect is very good." Shi Yunfeng stood with several old people, talking softly, and nodded with satisfaction.

In the distance, many children saw this scene and were even more in awe of the patriarch. They all shivered and hid from a distance. They gathered together and murmured in a low voice: "The little one is so pitiful!"

The palm of the little one glowed, and eventually it spread upwards, and even the bone inscriptions appeared on the little arm, which was uncertain and mysterious. Moreover, his physique has been enhanced, and his speed and strength have increased a lot. This is why the old patriarch is quite satisfied.

It wasn't until two hours later that he calmed down, scratched his head in confusion, and whispered: "Hey, we got into trouble."
