Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 472
The only remaining one among the 72 heroes in the forest is leaving.

The memory of Uncle Mazi ran through his mind like a revolving lantern.

[You are the Red Soldier. You are so clever. From now on, you will be as good as Mr. Li, a man. 】

[Red soldier, let’s see what goodies my uncle brings you. Is your father at home? 】

[Red soldier, you are studying hard in Shilipu. If anyone bullies you, tell your uncle and beat him to death.]

[Hongbing, how is your father doing recently? Take these two pounds of meat back and make dumplings for your father. 】

The final scene was fixed on Uncle Mazi standing on the stage on the meadow, staring at the stone tablet and the list of 71 people on the big screen, with tears streaming down his face.

Perhaps on that day, Uncle Mazi's heart had already left with his old brothers.

Li Hongbing sighed silently and patted Luo Long on the shoulder, "I'm going to see Uncle Mazi."

The carriage was placed on the roadside and Shan Xing was pulled into the yard.

The main room was filled with smoke and smoke, and there were more than a dozen old people sitting there. Everyone was smoking silently with sad faces, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

The couple appeared and attracted everyone's attention.

"This is Village Chief Li of Caogou Village, coming to see my uncle." Luo Long stood aside and introduced.

The old people stood up one after another, their expressions mixed with surprise and relief.

A few days ago, Village Chief Zhao came back from Caogou Village and also brought back the deeds of 72 heroes in the forest area decades ago, which also revealed the secrets that Uncle Mazi had hidden for many years.

The older generation in Shilipu all know that Uncle Mazi was beaten when he was young, but every time he asked Uncle Mazi how he was beaten, Uncle Mazi would always smile indifferently and change the topic.

The mystery was revealed, and a great hero appeared in the family. The Luo family wanted to beat gongs and drums, hold a banquet, and burn paper to report to their ancestors.

But accidents always come sooner than tomorrow.

After Uncle Mazi came back from Caogou Village, he was in a state of total depression. He couldn't eat or drink, and he talked nonsense all day long.

Early this morning, I called everyone from the Luo family who I could talk to to my home to make arrangements for my death.

As soon as everyone came out of the house, someone from the Li family in Caogou Village arrived, and he was also the village chief.

This friendship is so important.

Li Hongbing nodded to all the Luo family members, "I'll go see Uncle Mazi first, and then we'll talk after we get out."

After that, he took Shan Xing to open the curtain of the inner room and walked in.

The room had not changed much from the last time Li Hongbing came, but it had an inexplicable air of twilight.

Uncle Mazi was lying on the bed, leaning against the quilt, his eyes slightly narrowed. There was an old-fashioned radio by the bedside, and the radio was playing "Take the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."

Li Hongbing secretly observed Uncle Mazi's face.

His face was rosy, but there was a hint of greenness that spontaneously flowed down from his body.

Seeing this hint of greenness, Li Hongbing felt relieved.

If the green Qi spontaneously flows down from the body to the Yintang, no matter how serious the disease is, the person will die in 60 days. If the green Qi reaches the bridge of the nose, he will die in one month. If the green Qi reaches the middle of the body, he will die in seven days.

Li Hongbing put a chair next to the bed and sat down, calling softly, "Uncle Mazi."

Uncle Mazi opened his eyes suddenly and saw Li Hongbing and Shan Xing beside the bed, their expressions were overjoyed and then revealed to be complaining.

"Why are you here? Did that bastard Luo Long tell me not to call you? Why don't you worry?"

"Uncle!" Li Hongbing took Uncle Mazi's hand, "I'm not just passing by. I want to take a look at the road construction in Qinglong Village."

Qinglong Village!
Uncle Mazi's cloudy eyes suddenly became bright.

"Red Soldier, I had a dream two days ago. I dreamed that the boss and my brothers were waiting for me in Qinglong Village. They asked me why I didn't go to find them. They said they had been waiting for me for decades."

Li Hongbing had a sullen face and took his fingers away from Uncle Mazi's pulse.

Mazishu's pulse is a numb and tingling feeling, with a tiny trembling feeling. The pulse beats quickly and quickly. Then he presses down slowly, and the pulse condition gradually disappears, and the feeling of flicking his fingers disappears. Finally, by pressing the ulnar pulse alone, the intuitive feeling is that it is obviously weaker than the Cun and Guan pulses. Press again and disappear.

This is numbing and pulse-stimulating!

Absolute pulse.

"No, I know the end is coming." In fact, Uncle Mazi had long known that Li Hongbing was checking his pulse, and he had long been pessimistic about life and death.

"Uncle." Li Hongbing had mixed feelings, tears welling up in his eyes, and he was full of words and didn't know how to speak.

Uncle Mazi raised his hand and patted Li Hongbing on the head, smiling lightly.

"I cry like a girl. I also loved to cry back then. That night, Boss Li brought the men from ten miles and eight villages to Qinglong Mountain for a meeting. He said he wanted to work for the big guys and kill the small gang in Songbai Town. I want to go, Mr. Li said I was too young and wouldn't let him go."

"If you don't let me do anything, I will cry. I will follow behind my brothers and cry all the way. What do you think I will do next?"

Li Hongbing shook his head.

Uncle Mazi showed a hint of pride and pushed himself up, trying to sit higher. He tried several times but failed. Shan Xing hurriedly stepped forward to help. After sitting down, Uncle Mazi continued to tell.

"Later, Li kicked me on the head and kicked me into a ditch, threw me a hammer, and said he was going to kill Xiaoli if he was a man. If he cried again, he would smash the bird with a hammer."

"I specified not to smash birds. I just followed my brothers with a hammer."

"That night, God was so kind that he didn't let the moon come out. It was very dark. Brother Qingyou stuffed some medicine into the rabbit meat and threw it over the courtyard wall. The big wolf dog in his childhood died after eating it."

"Brother Tongsuo and I are the youngest. Li Boutou asked us to enter the gatekeeper's room and hold down the gatekeeper."

"The two of us crawled along the courtyard wall to the gatehouse. Brother Tongsuo used a short pig-tying bar to wrap around Xiaotian's neck from behind. The dog got in. Xiaotian was so strong that he couldn't hold it down. As soon as I got up, I used the The hammer smashed Xiaotian to death."

Speaking of excitement, Uncle Mazi danced and raised his hands to make gestures, as if the scene was reappearing in front of his eyes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Uncle Mazi suddenly coughed violently and his face turned red. Li Hongbing quickly took out the needle box, took out the silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point on the back of his hand.

Li Hongbing turned to look at Luo Long, who was lying at the door and eavesdropping.

"Go and take the ginseng I brought last time. Cut the whole ginseng into thin slices, brew it with hot water and bring it in as tea."

"Oh!" Luo Long went to do it immediately.

Uncle Mazi coughed and waved his hands calmly, "People are already buried in the ground. Don't waste good medicinal materials, keep them for others to use."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Mazi paused, looking at Li Hongbing, his eyes lost focus. After coming back to his senses, he looked at Li Hongbing again, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Why are you here? Did that bastard Luo Long tell me not to call you? It's not easy."

Li Hongbing smiled and took Uncle Mazi's hand, "Come here to see you, and listen to you talk about the past. Last time I talked about your little life with Brother Tongsuo, let's continue."

is it?

Uncle Mazi narrowed his eyes, as if there was no such thing in his mind.

At this time, Luo Long walked into the house with ginseng tea and said, "Village Chief Li, the hot water is here."

Taking the bowl, Li Hongbing took a look. The reeds and beards were all in the bowl. The ginseng was cut into thin slices and floated on the water. After being stimulated by hot water, it gave off a strong medicinal smell.

Li Hongbing brought the bowl to Uncle Mazi's mouth.

"I'll think about it later. Drink some water to moisten your throat. Let's talk slowly." "Okay!" Uncle Mazi opened his mouth and slowly drank the ginseng tea. Next to him, Luo Long looked unbelieving. He had been serving his uncle these days. , eat and drink like coaxing a child, and lose his temper from time to time, which is very difficult, but as soon as Village Chief Li said it, he became honest immediately.

It's really brine tofu, one thing drops one thing.

After drinking the ginseng tea, Uncle Mazi regained some strength and pursed his lips, "What did you just talk about?"

"You and Brother Tongsuo have a small life." Li Hongbing said with a smile.

"Yes, kill a little pig, and then Li leads us into the yard. Those little pigs sleep like balls. Brother Zhuangzi, Brother Gouwa, and Brother Bajin shoot the patrol with bows and arrows coated with small medicine. Come on, let’s light smoke in the yard and blow smoke into the house where we slept in childhood.”

"Then what?" Li Hongbing asked cooperatively.

Uncle Mazi raised his eyebrows.

"Then, they all loaded onto the carriage and took them back to Qinglong Village. They were like killing pigs, and they were buried one by one in the rock pit on the top of the mountain with a sickle. I also clicked a few. If it weren't for Zhao Laoliu's bad tip, I would have been killed in my little life. How come they ambushed us halfway, so many brothers will not die."

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder grandpa said not to allow the Zhao family in Shilipu to enter the mountain.

Co-author There is a traitor in the Zhao family.

But as Uncle Mazi revealed the past that had been hidden in his heart, his whole body seemed to have collapsed. He lay loosely on the bed and spoke intermittently.

"Red Soldier, after I leave, they will burn me and bury me in a stone grave. I will die in peace."

"Uncle." Luo Long knelt down beside the bed, tears streaming down his face, and cried out in tears.

"Go away and howl, Uncle Mazi is not dead yet." Li Hongbing stood up, kicked away Luo Long who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at Shan Xing, "Xing'er, go out and close the door tightly, don't let anyone in."

Save people!

Luo Long suddenly froze, tears still rolling in his eyes.

"Go, get out, don't disturb the red soldiers getting acupuncture." Shan Xing knew it was a critical moment, so after waking up Luo Long, the two quickly walked out of the house and closed the door tightly with their backhands.

The Luo family members in the main room rushed forward one after another, asking questions.

"Longzi, has uncle left?"

"What's going on inside? Do you want to go in and change your shroud?"

"Shall I invite the half-immortal to come over and look at the place?"

"You unlucky kid, say something."

Luo Long didn't bother to explain to the Luo family, and directly carried a long stool and placed it at the door of the room. In front of the Luo family, Luo Long was not so well-behaved. His face showed a fierce look and he said, "Prepare some shrouds, Village Chief Li." I'm treating my uncle in the house, so you guys should stop being gibberish."

Village Chief Li is saving his uncle.

My uncle is about to leave, but he can still be rescued.

The Luo family looked at each other.

Time passed by, and everyone in the room looked at the door of the back room, waiting anxiously.

Inside the house.

Li Hongbing was sweating profusely as he took out the silver needles one by one from Uncle Mazi's body.

In order to pull Uncle Mazi away from the Lord of Hell, Li Hongbing tried all possible methods, gathered all the experience of great doctors in the original medical books, and used compound acupuncture.

Use [Nine Huiyang Needles] to balance the yin and yang, use [Great Zhoutian Acupuncture] to stimulate and invigorate the energy of qi and blood in the body's meridians, mobilize the functions of the body's internal organs, encourage righteousness, and use [Nine Tai Chi Needles] to ignite the fire of life.

Even if he tried his best, he could only extend Uncle Mazi's life for half a month. When the time is up, he would still die.

"Hongbing, why are you doing this?" Uncle Mazi woke up and exhaled quietly. The green air on his face retreated to the bridge of his nose. Uncle Mazi felt resentful towards Li Hongbing for pulling him back.

Li Hongbing put away the needle box and said, "Uncle, it's not that easy for you to leave. At least you have to wait until the road to Qinglong Mountain is built, and let the young and old men from ten miles and eight villages carry you up to Qinglong Mountain in glory, and also pay tribute to those uncles and uncles who sacrificed their lives. Let’s hold a funeral together with my uncle, we want to have a grand ceremony and have a grand banquet.”

Uncle Mazi's eyes regained their brightness and he murmured to himself.

Who doesn’t want to be buried with great splendor and grandeur when they leave? Those brothers who died didn’t dare to tell their families. Once something is buried in the ground, who would know a hundred years later that the person buried was the murderer of a young hero.

"Red Soldier, are you serious?"

Li Hongbing nodded heavily.

"It's truer than gold. Just keep insisting. When the road is repaired, we will use the double dragon bar to be lifted by 16 people, and then we will find 108 people to pull it. We will bring in the entire forest team and fire cannons along the way. I guarantee that we will be better than me." The scene is even bigger."

"You can't hold Li's head down, I can't bear it, I can't bear it." Uncle Mazi waved his hands repeatedly, "When will the road be repaired?"

Li Hongbing doesn't know where the road in Qinglong Mountain has been repaired, but no matter where it is, it must be repaired within 20 days.

"I'm just going to the construction site this time. I'll definitely make it in time. You can take care of yourself at home and eat and drink well."

"Okay, hurry up and see if I can still hold on." Uncle Mazi suddenly became energetic and shouted towards the door, "Longzi, Longzi."

Luo Long, who was guarding outside the door, heard his uncle's cry. He tilted his body and fell from the stool to the ground. He didn't care about crying out in pain and quickly opened the door and entered the house.

"Uncle, you're okay."

Uncle Mazi cursed, "A dog can't speak. I'm a good man. Go bring me a bowl of rice. I'm very hungry."

Hearing that his uncle was so angry when he cursed, Luo Long looked at Li Hongbing with gratitude, thinking that he had done something scandalous, and even if he was beaten to death, it would not be a pity.

"Don't eat rice, it's not easy to digest. I have sweet potatoes in my carriage. Use it to make a bowl of sweet potato paste and cook it with this bowl of ginseng tea." Li Hongbing specifically warned, "Uncle Mazi, I'm going to the construction site to have a look. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll definitely let you go." Luo Long told me."

"I know, hurry up and get busy."

Uncle Mazi seemed to be even more anxious than Li Hongbing, busy seeing off the guests.

Go out of the back room.

He found that the Luo family in the main room looked at him respectfully.

"Let's go chat in the rice field." After saying that, Li Hongbing lifted his legs and left the house.

On the rice field.

Everyone in the Luo family who could speak was present, and Zhao Qianjin, the head of Shilipu Village, showed up sweating profusely with the village committee cadres. He was stunned when he saw Li Hongbing, and was about to say hello when Li Hongbing raised his hand to stop him.

"Uncle Mazi was supposed to leave in these two days. I can only live for another half month with acupuncture. His only wish is to be carried to Qinglong Village in glory and buried with his old brothers."

The Luo family looked at each other, and one of the white-haired old men nodded.

"Since it is Uncle Mazi's wish, then do as he wishes. No matter where he is buried, he will be a hero of the Luo family."

"Where are the roads in Qinglong Mountain?" Li Hongbing looked at Zhao Qianjin.

When it was proposed to build the road, he took the initiative to be the person in charge and promised to build the road well.

Zhao Qianjin quickly introduced the situation, "Village Chief Li, the road is now halfway repaired. It is estimated that it will take more than 20 days to reach Qinglong Village."

20 days!
Li Hongbing frowned.

I'm afraid Uncle Mazi won't be able to survive that day!
