"How long have I slept?" Lin Bei asked. "My lord has been sleeping all day." Bian Ji replied. Zhang Ji stepped forward: "Sir, your body is due to excessive blood loss. You must not do such self-injury again." "What is that wrapped on my body? Take it off for me quickly." Everyone worked together to remove Lin Bei's body. The bandaged cloth was removed. When the cloth was removed, the cloth had already stuck to the body due to the scarring of flesh and blood. Lin Bei grinned in pain, but at the same time he felt relaxed. After all, compared to Compared with the itching all over the body, which is like being bitten by ants, this kind of pain is more tolerable. Lin Bei had not slept well in the past ten days and had not eaten well, which made his body weak and his recovery ability greatly reduced. If he had been based on his previous recovery ability, the wounds on his body would have been healed after a day of recovery, but now , the wound stopped bleeding, but did not become scarred. After tearing the strip of cloth, the wound began to bleed again, and Lin Bei felt dizzy again. "You won't die from shedding this time," Lin Bei could only smile bitterly. "Sir, let's have something to eat." Bian Ji grabbed his old face and persuaded. "I can't eat, I have no appetite, and I don't want to eat." "Even if you don't want to eat, you have to eat some." Bian Ji asked the sergeants to bring broth, and it was almost time to feed Lin Bei. Zhang Ji also advised: "Sir, eat some. Your body is weak now and needs to be replenished." Huang Chengyan also advised Lin Bei to eat some. This was the first time he saw Lin Bei shed his skin. This molting process was so shocking. , they could do nothing else but hope that Lin Bei would eat more, conserve his strength, and get through it. Everyone in the room tried to persuade Lin Bei, but Lin Bei reluctantly wanted to eat some, but when he wanted to wrap his tail around the spoon. But she found that she couldn't even roll up the spoon. Huang Yueying hurried forward, picked up the spoon with difficulty, scooped up a large spoonful of broth and sent it to Lin Bei's mouth. Although Lin Bei was a little embarrassed, he still had to eat. He also felt that his health was very poor. If he didn't eat, he might not be able to survive. Xu Shu also came to help and fed Lin Bei several tablespoons of broth. Lin Bei finally felt better, and then he couldn't eat anymore. "Sir, I have a few pain-relieving prescriptions, how about you give them a try?" "The pain-relieving ones don't work, are there any that can relieve the itching?" He shed his skin because it was itchy. It's not pain. "The prescription is a refreshing thing, and it should also have some effect on relieving itching." Zhang Ji was not sure. Lin Bei is now a dead horse and a living doctor: "Then you hurry up and prepare the medicine. Oh, by the way, my body is different from yours. Increase the dose." Zhang Ji and Zhang Bozu hurried away. After the two of them left, Lin Bei sighed: "I find it very difficult to shed my skin this time, and I can't take charge of Wanghai City's affairs. You have to work harder." Everyone nodded. "Okay, step back." Lin Bei didn't want everyone to see him looking weak. Everyone bowed and retreated. Bian Ji stayed and asked, "Sir, how are you now?" "It's still the same. You can step back. I'll call you if I need anything." Bian Ji opened his mouth and finally stepped back. However, he stayed outside the door and listened carefully to Lin Bei's movements. After a long while, Bian Ji found that there was no movement in the house and quickly entered the house again. Found that Lin Bei actually fell asleep. Zhang Ji and Uncle Zhang spent a day preparing an analgesic for Lin Bei. It was for external application. After Lin Bei tried it, he found that his body was very cool and the itching was actually reduced a lot. He was immediately overjoyed, but he His body was strong and the poison had a short effect on him. The same was true for this medicine, which had to be applied every half an hour. The itching subsided, Lin Bei had an appetite again, and sometimes he could sleep. His body was slowly recovering, but the molting still hadn't come. It was like snake scales had grown on his body, and he couldn't wipe them off no matter how hard he rubbed them. Not bad, because Lin Bei fell into a coma after the last time he cut his flesh with a knife, so Lin Bei didn't dare to use the knife to cut his flesh again. Time passed like this, and it was already half July. The itching on Lin Bei's body had lasted for nearly a month. Twenty days, if it weren't for the prescription prepared by Zhang Ji, Lin Bei might not be able to hold on. At the same time, Lin Bei was also very depressed. It's been twenty days, why hasn't the molting period come yet? Lin Bei couldn't shed his skin, but his body kept itching. Lin Bei couldn't do anything. He felt worse than death. No one can help him with this kind of thing, and Lin Bei himself is confused. In view of this, Lin Bei thought about his several experiences of shedding in detail. The first time he shed his skin was in Longtan. This time it was very easy. After feeling itchy on his body, he wiped off the snake scales after a few days. , the second time was at the sacred tree, before hibernation, that time was also very easy, the third time shedding was already very difficult, and the sergeant needed to use a knife to cut off the snake scales. It was this time that Lin Bei could speak? Then came the fourth time, last year, when Lin Bei shed his skin on the hot spring island. That time was more difficult than the previous three times, and this time, it was obviously more difficult than the previous four times. "Is this like passing a dungeon level? It gets more difficult as you go to the back? If that's true, then molting twice a year would be really fatal. Now that the analgesic medicine is applied more, the effect seems to be less obvious. It seems that the dose needs to be increased. Without this analgesic, I may not be able to persist for half a month. " Most people can actually restrain the itching on their bodies, but Lin Bei really can't restrain the itching before she sheds his skin. Come on, it seems to be coming from the bone marrow. It is said that no matter how itchy it is, you will get used to it, but Lin Bei feels that this is not something that you can get used to. Lin Bei is not afraid of pain now. He dares to use a knife and ax to make casual cuts on his body. Lin Bei can endure this kind of severe pain, but he can't stand the itching on his body, so you can imagine how severe the itching is. . Although Lin Bei said that An Zhongzhi and the others should handle matters in Wanghai City themselves, there are always some things that need to be reported to Lin Bei, such as the surrender of the Lida tribe. The Lida tribe is one of the ten major tribes of the Pufeng people, so the surrender of the Lida tribe is a matter of course. After receiving Lin Bei's order, Mo Bugui paid great attention to it and immediately sent the Dragon God Army to the Lida tribe. , and informed the chief of the Lida tribe that Lord Dragon King wanted to see them. Through the news from the Giant Tiger Tribe and several surrendering tribes, Mo Bugui found out that the fundamental reason why the Lida Tribe chose to surrender was because their tribe had no food. During this period, many people starved to death, and many tribal warriors ate If they don't have enough to eat, they have to eat human flesh. For these Pufeng people, eating outsiders is acceptable, but eating their own people is also a disgusting thing. In addition, the Pufeng people have always been secretly communicating with each other. They also knew about surrendering. Although they had to pay tribute every year and send people to work for the Dragon God Army, when they thought about it carefully, they found that it was not unacceptable. The Pufeng people have a low production level, and they don't actually get many things every year. Even if they offer it as an offering, they don't have much. In addition, they send people to work for Wanghai City, and Wanghai City will take care of food and drink. If you think about it carefully, these People can eat back what they offer. For the chief of the Lida tribe, as long as he relies on the Dragon God Army, he is still the chief. It is not his turn to work anyway, and he does not have to worry about when. Will be killed by the Dragon God Army. This is called choosing the lesser of the two. However, when I heard that the Dragon King wanted to see him, the chief did not dare to come. He only sent his son, and it was the thirteenth son. This son was named Gu Ding. According to the news from the Dragon God Army, this He is a son who is not valued by the chief. Lin Bei thought the idea of ??the Lida tribe was ridiculous. Then he reflected on it and wondered if he was being too kind to these Pufeng slaves. However, thinking about it, the Pufeng people were given extremely poor food like bean dregs. Although there is some broth, most of it is fish. The current fishing output in Wanghai City is really a drop in the bucket. Since these Pufeng people think that this kind of life is very attractive and can make them surrender, then that will be the case in the future. Lin Bei thought it was a good deal to use this kind of food to attract some slaves. Lin Bei, named Gu Ding, was not seen at all. After a trip to watch the sea, Lin Bei asked him to go back. Then, Lin Bei ordered that several surrendered tribes such as the Juhu Tribe, Lvqiu Tribe, and Lida Tribe be allowed to leave from the mountains. After moving out of Badshui, Lin Bei set aside a territory for several of their tribes, called Pufeng City, between Wanxiang City and Yanhe City, allowing them to cultivate land here. As for the young men of these tribes, ranging from twelve to fifty years old, they are all treated as slaves to contribute to the development of Wanghai City. The hardest and heaviest work is left to these slaves, such as Whether digging mountains, mining, building roads or bridges, in order to prevent these slaves from rebounding, Lin Bei also set a rule that gives these slaves one day of rest every month, and they can bring food back to the tribe to reunite with their wives and daughters. If this kind of life were put into modern times, Lin Bei would be like a black-hearted businessman, and he would be criticized by thousands of people. But here, Bian Ji and others can only say that Lin Bei is really kind, and even slaves have wives. Women's reunion time, that's not what mercy is. ??Whether it was kindness or something else, once this regulation came out, the Pufeng people really settled down. Later, the Lida tribe's tribute this year was also transported to Wanghai City. Although the Lida tribe is one of the top ten tribes in Pufeng, they really don¡¯t have any good things. There are only two kinds that are more valuable. The first is three ships of iron ore, which was left over by the Lida tribe over the years, and the second is One hundred elephants. The Pufeng people have been able to tame elephants for a long time, but the elephant herds in the Mekong River are generally concentrated near Vientiane City, so there are almost no Haka tribes, Fengsi tribes in the past, and the Lida tribe originally lived near Vientiane City. The first time the offering was made, a hundred elephants were taken out. But these elephantsThey are all very thin. People in Pufeng don't eat enough these days, so it's normal for elephants to be thinner. If it weren't for the fact that elephants usually eat leaves and the like, they would definitely starve to death, but there is food in Wanghai City. , plus this batch of elephants, the number of elephants in Wanghai City now exceeds 300, and more are captured every year.
