The Fighter
Chapter 71 Queue
Four young men walked through the forest. Hope to be able to see new experiences in a region that is rarely open to the public, makes 3 villagers eager to travel. Wisanggeni also did not expect, he could easily get additional friends on his trip this time.
"You've achieved it yet, if it's in front we'll rest first." Wisanggeni asked about their condition.
"Not yet Wisang.., maybe we better rest in the nearest village only. If I'm not mistaken, about 10 kilometers away, we'll reach the nearest village." Jono who had passed through the area gave a hint.
"Yes right.., all of us are looking for a food store. I'm getting bored from yesterday, just enjoying the dry food. I imagine drinking lemongrass ginger tea would be nice." Karno added on.
"You haven't argued for yourself Raharjo, what do you want to find in the village later?" tanya Wisanggeni seduces Raharjo.
"I'm simple enough Wisang, I just want to lay my body on the couch. It was already a pleasure for me." finished talking, the three friends laughed together.
"Ha.ha.ha.., may we all reach the nearest village soon." said Wisanggeni.
Jokingly, they continued their journey. Suddenly Wisanggeni's ears caught the talk of others not far from it. He immediately placed his index finger in front of his mouth, gesturing for his companions to be quiet for a while.
The four people continued to travel in silence, and like Wisanggeni's hearing, in front of them were 3 people sitting resting. One of them looked wounded, and his legs were bleeding.
"Good afternoon Ki Sanak, excuse us for passing by." trying to find many friends, Wisanggeni kindly greeted them.
"Let's Ki Sanak.., you can also join us to rest here with us. Afterwards we can continue our journey together." one older man responded kindly.
Wisanggeni immediately coded his group to stop. His eyes glanced at the injured person in front of him, from the man's mouth was seen how he endured the pain.
"If we may know, what happened to Ki Sanak's leg?" following the heart, Wisanggeni could not help but ask.
The wounded man looked at the oldest man, and saw the one who was seen nodding his head.
"Instead of us Ki Sanak, on the way to here, we were attacked by some ferocious beasts. We were able to escape from them, but the moment we managed to escape, ill-fated happened. I accidentally stepped on a huge snake that was ascetic, finally my leg was attacked." the man smiled wryly.
"Can I see Ki Sanak, who knows I can help to treat it" said Wisanggeni.
The three looked at each other, but finally the oldest of them spoke again.
"Thank you for your concern, Ki Sanak, if you want to see it. We decided to take a break here because my niece couldn't bear the pain." The old man finally allowed it.
Wisanggeni approached the wounded man, then he crouched down. His left hand lifted the leg from the man, then he watched him for a while.
"Please straighten a little bit of her leg!" said Wisanggeni slowly, the man according to. He straightened his legs forward, Wisanggeni's forehead flinched and the others looked like they were holding their breath.
"There's snake venom in it, fortunately the poison doesn't go all the way inside. Just in the outer layer of the skin." Wisanggeni batin himself.
Not willing to waste any time, the young man took out a dagger from his scabbard. After gently rubbing the handle of the knife by closing the eyes, a purple light came out of the handle. Slowly carefully, the beam was rotated and worn on the circle of wounds that were on the man's leg.
"Panassss..," the sweat of a grain of corn seemed to drip in the pores of his skin.
"Hold on Ki Sanak for a while, it took me a while to sort this out" said Wisanggeni slowly.
Not long after, Wisanggeni finally ended his healing process. As the leader of the snake alone, he admitted that the process of eliminating opponents carried out by his men was very cruel. They only make a small hole, but the poison will slowly circulate the blood that it has been used for.
"Have Ki Sanak, how does it feel?" ask Wisanggeni while smiling.
"Thank you Ki Sanak, my injuries don't hurt anymore. Now it was cold." the wounded man felt a cold steam flow on the wounds that had been painful and hot.
Wisanggeni took one pill from the ladybug, then gave it to the man.

"Anter.., queue... If anyone is acting, it is better to cancel your desire to visit Jagadklana!" shouted the border guards at the edge of the lake.
Hundreds of people queued at the edge of the lake, to cross by boat to the region. On the edge of the lake, many Taliban sellers who use the crowd to roll out their merchandise.
"Aakkh.., bukkk." There were some people fighting over the queue.
"Surge.., move aside.". on the other hand, there were several people who were escorting two people one male and one female with noble appearance, looking for a gap in the way to propel forward. The sword in the hands of the guards was medicated to ease his path.
From a location not far away, Wisanggeni and his group seemed to smile at the chaos. Jono and Karno were already visibly anxious to get in line, but Wisanggeni asked them to be patient. He still has a weapon to go to Jagadklana, if the boat has exceeded the maximum passenger limit. There is a Lion Cleric who can fly 10 people anywhere.
"Why do you look relaxed Wisang, what if we do not have a ticket to ride on the boat?" ask Jono.
"Stop your panic, my friend.., trust me! I'm sure Jagadklana will not want to eliminate the opportunity to get income from other regions. Just wait.., they will definitely send some additional boats" said Wisanggeni slowly.
"Input..., what do you mean?" tanya Karno was confused.
Wisanggeni smiled, he bit the grass stem that he had just plucked from the ground that was in front of him. The sweet taste he felt from the grass.
"I'm sure everyone who crosses there, they will definitely carry a lot of coins. In Jagadklana, they will need food and even lodging and souvenirs to take home. Do you think Jagadklana will give it all away for free?" the young people understood what Wisanggeni meant, they were beards.
"Look far away there..!" shouted the man who was saved by Wisanggeni.
There are 2 boats in the distance, which will dock to the edge of the lake.
