Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Dangerous
The Chixiao Sword was deeply penetrated into the black bear's belly. The Chixiao Sword was really sharp. When the black bear with thick skin and flesh, half of the sword body was penetrated with one sword.
The black bear was in pain, roared violently, raised its front paws, and slapped it hard at Liu Xiu's head.
Liu Xiu didn't bother to draw the sword anymore, so he could only abandon the Chixiao Sword and dodge his strength. His head was dodging, but his movements were still a little slower, and a bear paw of the black bear slapped heavily on his left shoulder.
Bang! With a muffled sound, Liu Xiu leaned back and rolled backwards until his body hit a big rock by the river, and then he stopped. He felt his throat licking and a mouthful of old blood gushed out.
He gritted his teeth and swallowed the old blood back. The black bear had a Chixiao sword inserted into his stomach, and rushed towards Liu Xiu roaringly. Liu Xiu was lying on the ground, his bones all over his body as if they were dispersed, and he could no longer stand up.
Watching the black bear approaching him, opening his bloody mouth, and biting his neck.
Liu Xiu, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly waved his arm and a crossbow arrow flew out from his wrist, hitting the black bear's right eye.
Puff! The black bear let out a howl like thunder in pain, and his crawling body stood up again. He roared to the sky for a long time before the sound gradually weakened. Then with a rumbling sound, his huge body fell to the ground and lay near Liu Xiu and stopped moving.
Looking at the black bear lying on the ground and not moving for a long time, Liu Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves also relaxed. He lay on the ground, took a long time to sit up slowly on the ground, leaning on the stone.
After looking at the wounds on his body, bloodshots were oozing out of several places. He sighed softly, and his eyes fell on the black bear in front of him again. The only thing that is thankful now is that he doesn't have to go hungry tonight, at least he has bear meat to eat.
Bear meat is not very delicious and very muttony. If you can get used to the muttony smell, you can barely swallow the bear meat, but don’t chew it carefully, the more you chew it, the more sour it becomes.
In addition, the meat of adult bears and underage bears is different. The meat of underage bears is very soft and tastes relatively delicious. The meat of adult bears is much harder.
If you want to make the bear meat delicious, you need special marination. For Liu Xiu now, he certainly does not have such conditions.
Liu Xiu rested for a long time before he slowly stood up from the ground, used his strength to turn over the bear corpse lying on the ground.
The Chixiao Sword, which originally only inserted most of the bear's body, only exposed the hilt outside, and was covered with bear's blood.
Liu Xiu took a lot of effort to pull the Chixiao Sword out of the black bear's corpse. He swallowed, looked down at the bear's corpse for a while, but still used the sword to cut the black bear's belly and opened it to his stomach.
Then he put the Chixiao Sword aside, Liu Xiu suppressed the discomfort, put his hands into the black bear's body, and grabbed it one by one.
He searched in the water for a long time and finally found what he wanted, bear bile. Bear bile can clear heat and detoxify, calm the gallbladder and improve eyesight. The most important point is that it has the effect of stopping bleeding.
Liu Xiu read a lot of books and had extensive knowledge, so he naturally knew how much help he can help him now.
The big black bear's bear gall was larger than the palm of an adult. Liu Xiu held it in both hands and did a lot of psychological construction. He used his teeth to bite the bear gall and drank the bile in it.
Liu Xiu almost vomited it out for the first time when he got into his mouth. It was too bitter. Even the bitterest Chinese medicine is probably not as bitter as pure bear bile. Liu Xiu knelt on the ground, holding the stone beside him, making a sound of dry retching.
After retching for a while, nothing was spitting out. Liu Xiu turned his heart and closed his eyes. He poured the entire bile of bear bile into his mouth and poured it in. After that, Liu Xiu plunged into the river and drank water in big mouthfuls.
After a full quarter of an hour, Liu Xiucai recovered a little. At this time, there was no other smell in his mouth, only bitterness was left.
He returned to the shore from the water, picked up his Chixiao sword, carefully cleaned it with the river water, and put the sword into the sheath.
He looked at the armor he had just taken off, pondered for a moment, put it together, wrapped it with his cloak, and threw it into the river.
Now he doesn't know where he is, maybe he is still within the control of the thief army. Once the thief army searches, these armors will immediately reveal their identity.wavv
Just as he was sitting on the shore, looking at the black bear's corpse, thinking about where to start, rustling footsteps came from the woods again.
There was no other end, right! Liu Xiu felt that he was really covered with dark clouds and his face was almost dark. As the footsteps got closer, in the end, more than a dozen people suddenly jumped out of the forest.
These people are dressed in trousers, their clothes are worn out, and they look at their faces. They are all dark-skinned, some are in their twenties, some are in their thirties, and some are in their forties and fifties.
Seeing these people, Liu Xiu was stunned. When he saw Liu Xiu and the big black bear next to him with a broken belly, everyone was even more stunned and could not react.
Before Liu Xiu could speak, a young man in his twenties asked first: "Did you kill it?"
Liu Xiu grabbed his broken coat, put it on his body, and said, "That's it."
"You are the only one?" the young man asked with wide eyes.
Liu Xiu looked around him and it was obvious that he was the only one here.
Seeing this, everyone looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief, looking at him in disbelief.
For others, they may not think that bears are beasts, only wealthy wolf, tiger and leopard are considered beasts. But for villagers living in the mountains, they would rather encounter wealthy wolf, tiger and leopard than encounter blind black bears.
In the deep mountains and forests, nothing can be more terrifying than meeting a blind black bear.
Only one person can kill such a big black blind man. And depending on his age, he is only in his twenties. This person is so amazing!
An elderly man walked out of the crowd and bowed and said, "This hero, we are all villagers from the local Ping Village. I don't know the hero's surname and name?"
It turned out that they were all villagers! Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, but he still did not report his real name and bowed to him and said, "I am the surname Jin and He, but I fell into the water because of a mistake and happened to pass by here!"
He called himself Jinhe, which was picked out from the two characters Liu Xiu. Liu's traditional characters have the word "Jin" and Xiu's "He".
"It turns out that it's Jin Zhuangshi, who is disrespectful, disrespectful!" The old man bowed with a smile and said, "I am the village chief of Pingcun, named Zhao Li."
As he spoke, he looked down at the big black bear and said, "This beast has injured several people in my village in this area, and no one can control it. Today, Jin Zhuangshi killed this beast, but it has helped me to have a great help in the village!"
More than a dozen villagers present bowed to Liu Xiu in unison and said in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Jin!"
Liu Xiu quickly bowed and said, "Mura Masahiro is so polite, I'm just for self-protection."
Village Master Zhao Li looked at the cloth strips wrapped around Liu Xiu and said, "I think Jin Zhuangshi's injuries are not light either. Why not go to our Pingcun and deal with the wound!"
"Will this... disturb you too much?"
Zhao Li and others were stunned at first, and they all laughed at each other. They felt that Jin He was young, but literary, with the elegance of a Confucian scholar, and he really didn't look like a person who could kill a big black blind man alone.
The old man changed his words with a smile and said, "Young Master Jin is so polite! Young Master Jin killed this beast and was the hero of my village. It was too late for us to welcome the whole village, so how could we feel disturbed?!"
"Yes, Mr. Jin helped us to eliminate this great harm in Ping Village. The whole village is grateful!" Other villagers also warmly invited Liu Xiu.
Of course, Liu Xiu didn't want to stay alone in this wilderness. Now he could go to the village to rest, which was better. He bowed and said, "It's better to obey your orders than respect. In this way, I would like to thank you all!"
"Mr. Jin, please!"
The villagers led by Zhao Li happily led Liu Xiu to their village. As for the big black bear, they were hung up by eight young strong men with four wooden sticks, and then carried them together to follow Liu Xiu and Zhao Li.
Pingcun was only two or three miles apart from the river. The reason why they came here was because they heard the roar of the big black bear. The villagers thought that someone was attacked by Heixiao again, so they rushed over in a hurry because they planned to fight Heixiao.
Unexpectedly, the roar they heard was actually the scream of Heixiazi before his death. It had been cleaned up by Liu Xiu alone.
Pingcun is not big, with only twenty households and less than a hundred people in the village. The villagers in Pingcun mainly make a living by fishing and hunting.
This place is close to Wuzhong County. On weekdays, villagers take the fish and prey they catch to the county market to sell them for food, daily necessities and other items. They can't say that they are very rich, but at least they can have no worries about food and clothing.
Following the villagers into the village, Liu Xiu was immediately invited by Zhao Li to his home.
The family of the village master is bigger than that of ordinary villagers. Zhao Li has three sons, all of whom have already started a family. The second son and the younger son have moved out, and Zhao Li lives with the eldest son.
The eldest son is named Zhao Gui, who is a honest man in his thirties.
When Zhao Li and his family learned that Liu Xiu had killed Hei Xiaozi who was in trouble with the village, they warmly treated Liu Xiu and invited the only doctor in the village to Liu Xiu.
This doctor is also omnipotent. He is in his early forties and can cure people and livestock. Therefore, he is both a doctor and a veterinarian in the village. He knows everything and is not good at anything.
Fortunately, Liu Xiu suffered from trauma, not a difficult disease, and he also brought his own good golden sore medicine. The doctor came over and helped Liu Xiu reapply the medicine and then bandaged it again, and it was over.
At Zhao Li's warm invitation, Liu Xiu temporarily lived in the village's house. In return, he planned to give the big black bear he killed to Zhao Li.
After hearing this, Zhao Li's head shaking like a rattle, and he couldn't afford to say it was expensive.
Bear bones can be used as medicinal materials or as bone-forming devices. Like rings made of bear bones, they are very valuable on the market. Bear meat and bear paws can be sold to wineries and restaurants, and they are not cheap, especially bear paws, which are even more expensive.
Bear skin is also a favorite luxury item by high-ranking officials and nobles. The value of a good bear skin is enough to be comfortable for ordinary people for two or three years.
So, although the bear is terrible, it is full of treasures. How much is such a big blind man worth!
Zhao Li was determined to accept Liu Xiu's gift and refused to accept it no matter what.
Liu Xiu admired the character of this old village master very much. In the end, he asked Zhao Gui to help him deal with the big black bear and sold the bear skin, bear bones, bear flesh, and bear paws at the market.
As for the money he received, he did not intend to take it away, but wanted to secretly leave it to Lao Cunmasa when he left.
Liu Xiu lived in Pingcun for three days, and his injuries changed almost every day, and his recovery was so fast that it was shocking.
This made the doctor in Pingcun amazed, thinking that this must be the effect of Liu Xiu drinking a whole bear bile.
On the fourth day of his stay in Pingcun, Liu Xiu was taking a nap in the house when he suddenly heard a noise outside. Liu Xiu sat up from the bed, twisted his joints, and was about to go out, but suddenly, the door was knocked open, and Zhao Gui ran in from outside with a panic look.
