"General..."
The soldier's shout interrupted Qin Fang's thoughts. "What's the matter?"
Soldier: "General, come here quickly, there is something in this room."
Qin Fang heard this, jumped out of the window, and came to the room where the soldier was: "What is this?" He went over and looked at the white and yellow stones in the baskets. "I have seen these white stones. In my hometown, some old houses have these things in the corners. They look very similar, but what are these? Why does this Taoist temple that has been abandoned for 20 years have such things?"
Qin Fang's words, of course, the soldier didn't know.
Qin Fang moved his nose, the white stones didn't smell anything, but the yellow stones smelled a bit bad, a bit smelly. "Don't worry about it for now. Go tell Tao Shan to invite Doctor Li here and bring a wild boar leg. Then you will keep watch outside, replacing Tao Shan."
Soldier: "Yes."
After the soldier left, Qin Fang went to the chained man's room again. The tiger was lying there. When it saw him coming, it raised its eyelids and looked at him, then did not move.
Qin Fang was really surprised by this tiger. A tiger raising a human is unheard of and too unbelievable. If the one in front of him was just a dog, he could still believe what he saw, but this is a tiger.
The tiger is also a beast, and beasts follow their nature, just like a cat. Even if you are its owner, when it is in heat or in a hurry, if you disturb it, its claws will still reach out to you. This is the nature of beasts. The nature of a tiger is several times, or even dozens of times, that of other small animals.
So, would this tiger raise the Chained Man?
But looking at the Chained Man's appearance, there was nothing to eat here except a piece of meat. If he was not raised by the tiger, then who raised him?
Whether it was Qin Fang's subconscious or his rational mind, he thought that the tiger was raising the Chained Man.
However, he wanted to rule out this idea in his heart, because it was too incredible for a tiger to raise a person.
Qin Fang watched the Chained Man frantically looking for something, completely forgetting that there were him and the tiger next to him. This Chained Man was really crazy. Not to mention that he was not afraid of a stranger like him, was he not afraid that the tiger would attack him?
The man in chains was still talking to himself: "Where's the medicine... Where's the medicine..."
Qin Fang thought about it and prepared to approach the man in chains, but as soon as he approached, the tiger stood up, looked at him defensively, and roared at him. As
soon as the tiger roared, the soldiers outside came to the window nervously: "General, are you okay?"
Qin Fang: "No." It seems that the tiger allowed him to be here, but did not allow himself to get close to the man in chains.
Unexpectedly, the man in chains suddenly roared at the tiger. The man in chains: "Roar..."
This roar...
Soldiers: "General, this man in chains can roar like a tiger."
Qin Fang was also stunned. The roar of the man in chains was exactly the same as that of a tiger. Even if the artist with the best ventriloquism skills was, it was estimated that he could not learn such a roar.
Seeing this, the tiger also roared at the Chained Man a few times.
Then, the Chained Man and the tiger roared at each other. After a long time, the tiger left the leaky room. The Chained Man and Qin Fang were the only ones left in the room.
Soldier: "General, what's going on?"
Qin Fang said: "I don't know, maybe they are communicating." Qin Fang knew that some artists with great ventriloquism would use the sounds of animals to communicate with animals. He had seen artists performing with monkeys and then communicating with monkeys using the sounds of monkeys. But this was the first time he had seen something like the Chained Man and the Tiger.
This Chained Man was not simple.
Seeing the tiger gone, the Chain Man started looking for something in the house. He looked here and there. In such a clear place, no one knew what he was looking for.
Qin Fang couldn't help but ask, "Are you looking for something?"
The Chain Man didn't respond.
If he didn't know that he could hear and talk, Qin Fang would have thought he was a ghost. Qin Fang took a few steps forward and approached the Iron Man: "Do you need my help to find something?"
Qin Fang walked in front of the Iron Man, and the Iron Man raised his head and looked at him, then said madly: "Looking for medicine to make elixir... Looking for medicine to make elixir... Elixir of immortality... Elixir of immortality..."
Qin Fang: "What medicine are you looking for? I'll help you find it."
The Iron Man: "What medicine... What medicine... Ah... What medicine..." As he said that, he lay down on the ground and started rolling around like a child.
Seeing this, Qin Fang had to give up. He couldn't get anything out of this Iron Man, and hoped that Doctor Li would be able to cure him after he arrived. The only clue we know now is that the Iron Man was ordered by King Liang to refine the elixir of life here, and King Liang died 20 years ago, but the Iron Man has been locked up here and is now crazy.
Qin Fang took out dry food from his arms, which was cakes and biscuits. He found a stool in the house and sat down, then started to eat. The soldiers outside the window also started to eat dry food.
The Iron Man, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly stopped rolling. He approached Qin Fang with his nose still moving, and then sat down in front of Qin Fang, watching Qin Fang eat cakes and biscuits, drooling.
Qin Fang looked at him and had to give him a piece of cake.
The Chain Man took it immediately and stuffed it into his mouth. Then his eyes lit up, as if he had never eaten such delicious food before. He stirred the cake in his mouth and got up from the ground. He looked around for a while, then ran towards the piece of raw meat. He picked up the raw meat and put it in front of Qin Fang.
Qin Fang's usual good appetite suddenly disappeared. Looking at the bloody meat, he couldn't even eat the cake. He said, "This meat can't be eaten." However, the meat is fresh.
Tigers like to eat fresh meat. They eat at night and sleep during the day, so the meat should be brought back by the tiger last night or early this morning, so it is still fresh. Otherwise, a piece of meat will have a strange taste after two days.
Qin Fang gave his cake to the Chain Man, but did not take his meat. Seeing this, the Man in Chains threw away the meat and started eating the cake. However, this time, Qin Fang ate quickly, fearing that if he was a step slower, the Man in Chains would eat all the cake and exchange it for the meat.
The cake was a bit dry, and if you ate it too fast, you would sting. It was the first time for the Man in Chains to eat something so delicious, so he ate very quickly. As a result, he was stung. The Man in Chains who was stung came to the corner of the house. This corner was leaking, and water would pour down from it when it rained. At this moment, there was a basin on the ground with water in it. The Man in Chains who was stung lay directly on the ground and drank the water in the basin.
Qin Fang couldn't help but frowning when he saw this. Judging from the condition of the Chained Man, it was obvious that he was not a person who would pay attention to hygiene. So if this basin had been there for more than 20 years, how dirty would it be? So Qin Fang went over immediately, and he was willing to give him the water bag he carried with him.
However, when Qin Fang saw the water in the basin clearly, he was very surprised. The water was not as dirty as he imagined, and the basin did not look like it had not been washed for 20 years. But the Chained Man was the only one here. Could it be that he knew how to wash the basin? If he knew, shouldn't he wash himself first? Seeing the sour smell all over his body, Qin Fang believed that he had not taken a bath for 20 years.
The Iron Man drank several sips of water, and when he looked up, he saw Qin Fang. He saw that Qin Fang no longer had cakes and biscuits in his hands, so he licked his lips and wanted to eat more. So, he went to find the piece of meat, and after finding it, he took the raw meat and started to chew it.
Qin Fang saw this and dodged the piece of meat directly: "This can't be eaten." Then he threw it outside. He had a lot of questions to ask the Iron Man, so what if something went wrong after the Iron Man ate the meat?
The meat was snatched away, and the Iron Man did not react. He sat on the ground and began to sleep.
The Iron Man closed his eyes and fell asleep, and Qin Fang just sat there.
Until there was movement outside, Tao Shan came with Doctor Li and Captain Lu.
"General, Tao Shan is here."
There were many people outside, and the noise was a bit loud. The tiger that was driven out by the chained man and found a place to sleep appeared again. It looked at those people, and its whole body was tense, ready to fight at any time.
Captain Lu was shocked: "Oh my God, how can there be such a big tiger here?"
Qin Fang said: "Don't attack it, it won't attack people." Seeing Tao Shan holding a wild boar leg, he took out the knockout drug and the sleeping drug, mixed them together, sprinkled them on the wild boar leg, and then carried the wild boar leg to the tiger, "Eat it." He didn't want to kill the tiger for the time being, so he could only let it be quiet for a while.
The tiger looked at him, then looked at the wild boar leg, and didn't eat it, but stood alert.
Qin Fang ignored him and warned everyone: "Don't attack it, Doctor Li, you come in with me, and the rest of you retreat outside and wait." So as not to provoke the tiger.
Doctor Li: "Yes."
After entering the house and seeing the situation inside, Doctor Li was stunned: "This..."
Qin Fang said: "This man is crazy, look at his condition."
As a doctor, Doctor Li would naturally not abandon his patients, but when he followed Qin Fang closer, the Iron Chain Man, who was originally sitting with his eyes closed and sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were cloudy and pure, making it difficult to describe.
However, from his eyes, Doctor Li could also see some clues. He frowned and said: "Stretch out your hand, let me see."
The Iron Chain Man looked at Doctor Li without responding.
Qin Fang walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your
hand." The Chain Man looked at his hand, then stretched out his own. The dirty hand was not as clean as the tiger's claws. Doctor Li shook his head after taking his pulse: "His condition is not good. Not only is his pulse disordered, but there are also signs of poisoning. I estimate that he will not live for two years."
Qin Fang was not surprised to hear this: "In this environment, he can still survive, which is already good. Is there any way to make him recover?"
