At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 80 Uninvited
When Gao Shou and Gao Ren saw Gao Bufan carrying a beautiful woman out of the woods, their eyes widened immediately. Niu Bi, I remember the young master went into the woods last time, and ended up bringing back a big bag of gold and silver. This time it was even worse. Just bring back a beauty, isn't there gold growing in the soil, instead of a girl?
"Hey, isn't this... Miss Dou whom we met in Yin County that day?" Gao Shou obviously recognized her at this moment.

Gao Ren exclaimed: "Really, why did this little lady come to the north by herself, and she is not afraid of being robbed by robbers."

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly get out the wine and marching powder." Gao Bufan said in a deep voice.

Dou Xianniang's forehead is still bleeding, and it must be disinfected immediately to stop the bleeding. The weather is cold now, and if the bleeding doesn't stop, it is easy to die.

Gao Shou and Gao Ren didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly handed over a jug of spirits. They said it was spirits, but in fact the alcohol content was not high. The brewing techniques of the Sui Dynasty were hard to describe. The so-called spirits were estimated to be less than [-] degrees, which is better than nothing!
Gao Bufan cleaned Dou Xianniang's wound with "spirited wine". The wound seemed to be caused by a blunt weapon, but the weapons used by the five horse bandits were all sharpened, so the wound on Dou Xianniang's forehead It is estimated that it was caused by hitting a hard object when falling from the horse. This level may cause a concussion.

After Gao Bufan cleaned the wound skillfully, and then sprinkled Xingjun powder to bandage it up, the bleeding gradually stopped, but Dou Xianniang was still pale and unconscious at the moment, it was hard to say whether she could survive.

Gao Bufan touched the thin clothes on Dou Xianniang's body, and couldn't help frowning. It's already early winter, and the weather gets colder as you go north. She's actually only wearing a single shirt, and she doesn't see any luggage around her. Yes, there is only a dagger for body protection, and I don't know why she ran north without her luggage.

The night before Gao Bufan's departure, Ming Cui, the beautiful maidservant, had carefully packed his luggage, wishing he could bring all the winter clothes he usually wears, so there were a lot of thick clothes in Gao Bufan's luggage, so he picked two for him. Dou Xianniang put it on, although it was a bit too big and looked nondescript, but it was better than nothing at all.

Although Dou Xianniang, who had put on two thick clothes, was still awake, her cold hands and feet gradually warmed up.As the saying goes, saving people to the end and sending Buddha to the west, Gao Bufan naturally couldn't leave an injured and unconscious little girl on the way, so he ordered someone to put her in an empty car.

People on the way were fed by horses, and more than half of the feed they delivered had been consumed, but a cart happened to be freed up for Dou Xianniang to use.

As a result, the cavalry went back on the road again. Although the martial arts of the Shanggu Five Tigers were commonplace, Gao Bufan did not dare to take it lightly, and he was more careful on the way to guard against retaliation from his followers.

Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound. On the afternoon of the third day, everyone had already entered the territory of Zhuo County. It was estimated that there was still a day's journey at most before they could reach Ji County, the seat of Zhuo County. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that there is a large army in Zhuojun, under the carpet-like sweep of the Sui army, even the thieves have escaped, so entering Zhuojun is equivalent to entering a safe zone. Presumably, the accomplices of the Shanggu Five Tigers would not dare to retaliate here , unless they cupping on the chrysanthemum - looking for shit!
Dou Xianniang has been in a coma for the past few days, and even developed a high fever last night, and now she is talking in a daze, and she is obviously unconscious, which is a very dangerous signal.

In ancient times when medicine was extremely backward, a cold or cold was life-threatening. Once the wound was infected and had a high fever, it was equivalent to a half-death sentence. Whether you can survive it all depends on your own immune system.

Although Gao Bufan has also learned first aid and wound treatment knowledge, it is a pity that at this time, he needs tools but no tools, and medicine but no medicine. All he can do is to physically cool down Dou Xianniang, change the dressing to clean the wound, and regularly feed her some The rice soup and meat soup replenishes energy, and the rest is left to fate.

Gao Shixiong touched Dou Xianniang's forehead, and said, "It's so hot, Boss Changqing, will your method work or not? It's been burning for a day and a night. If it goes on like this, this little girl will I guess I have to explain her fate, or you should take her to the city to find a doctor first, and we will walk slowly behind, and we will be able to reach Ji County tomorrow afternoon."

Gao Bufan pondered for a moment, thinking that there is still a day's journey away, and he is still in Zhuojun, so there must be nothing wrong, and if Dou Xianniang doesn't seek medical treatment from a doctor, she may die, so he nodded and said: "Yes. Okay, but you two brothers can't do anything willful any more, and absolutely nothing can go wrong."

"Boss Changqing, don't worry, we are almost here, what could go wrong, if there is one missing horse, you will chop up our brothers!" Gao Shixiong patted his chest and said loudly.

Then Gao Bufan asked Gaoshou to be responsible for driving the car, and he rode his horse first, rushing towards the direction of Jixian City, while Gao Ren stayed behind to supervise Gao Shixiong brothers. There are still some, in short, they are smarter than the two reckless brothers Gao Shixiong.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan and Gaoshou's master and servant rushing all the way, but the speed of the horse-drawn cart is limited after all, and there is an injured person lying on the cart, so it can't be too bumpy, so before sunset, neither of them can catch up. When we arrived at the base of Jixian County, we had to find a place to shelter from the wind and camp in a col, and then we went on our way after dawn.

As soon as the sun set, the weather became even colder. Gao Bufan set up a tent and spread a layer of fur on the ground, and then carried Dou Xianniang into the tent. He felt that the latter was hot all over, and he couldn't help but secretly startled. Wrung a wet towel and applied it to his forehead.

"Water...you need to drink water!" Dou Xianniang muttered in a low voice in a daze, her mouth, which was originally bright, was cracked and peeled off.

Gao Bufan shook the water bag, it was already empty, there was a small stream nearby, but he never drank raw water, let alone gave it to patients, so he ordered Gao Shou to light a fire to start a pot, and he himself went to the stream to get water .

This creek flows down from the mountain, it is crystal clear, and there are even a group of fish swimming there. Gao Bufan picked up a few stones, and with a flick of his wrist, the stones were shot out with a few bangs. There was a sound of water, and a few big fat fish turned their white bellies and surfaced directly.

Gao Bufan picked up the fish, cut it open with a dagger and cleaned it, then threaded it into a string with weeds, filled the water bladder with water, and then returned to the camping place with the fish.

At this time, Gao Shou had already built a fire, and when he saw Gao Bufan brought some fat fish back, he couldn't help but brighten his eyes and said, "Where did the young master get the fresh fish?"

"In the stream over there!" Gao Bufan pointed, and Gao Shou immediately jumped up, expressing that he would catch a few more.

Gao Bufan poured all the water in the water bag into the iron pot, and then threw the empty water bag to Gao Shou, asking him to fill in some water, and the latter took the water bag and ran away.

Gao Bufan threw one of the fish into the pot to boil the fish soup directly, while the other two were put on wooden sticks and roasted on the fire.

The weather was very cold, the bonfire was raging, and the two fat fish were slowly being roasted until they were golden brown, and they were sizzling with oil. Gao Bufan sprinkled some salt and spices on them, and the aroma of the food was aroused, and it floated far away with the wind .

As a modern person, Gao Bufan is really not used to the meager food of Sui Dynasty people, so he "invented" a lot of seasonings and carried them with him when he went out. One of the reasons why Gao Shou and Gao Ren were willing to go hunting with him It is to be able to eat game cooked by the young master himself.

At this moment, a person came out of the darkness and squatted down beside the bonfire. Gao Bufan thought it was Gao Shou who came back, so he didn't care. He just concentrated on grilling the fish. At this time, he had to keep turning it over, otherwise it would be easy to burn.

The man took a few mouthfuls of the tempting fragrance, and asked with a greedy face, "Can I eat it?"

Gao Bufan suddenly raised his head, only to find a big strange man sitting cross-legged opposite the bonfire, with a full beard and a very rough appearance, the most surprising thing is that he has strange eyes, looking at your face Sometimes it seems that there are four eyes looking at you, which can make people's hairs stand on end suddenly.

Gao Bufan was taken aback, but quickly calmed down, and threw a grilled fish in his hand. The big man was very polite, and thanked him after receiving it.
