Yunkeju Inn is the largest and most famous inn in Yangpingguan Town.
At this time, it was almost noon, and there were gradually more diners in the store. The old shopkeeper with a gray beard was fiddling with his abacus at the counter, carefully settling yesterday's accounts. The two thin waiters were busy serving tea and water.
After everyone was full of wine and food, Xu Feng called the shopkeeper to come over and settle the bill. The old shopkeeper, hunched over, walked over slowly, smiled apologetically at Xu Feng and said, "This guest, the total price for food and drinks is one, two, and five cents."
Xu Feng took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it over. The old shopkeeper held it in both hands and thanked him repeatedly. Everyone stood up, picked up their weapons and prepared to leave. Finally, Xu Feng turned around and suddenly paused. He seemed to have remembered something, waved to the old shopkeeper, and said in a deep voice: "There is something I want to ask the shopkeeper about.
The shopkeeper was suddenly startled, opened his eyes wide, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "If you have anything to say, guest, please just say it!" A look of surprise flashed across his face.
Xu Feng glanced at Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu, and said hesitantly: "These two friends of mine have a strange disease. They have sought treatment in many ways but have not recovered. I passed by Yangping Pass today and accidentally caught the wind and cold. Seeing that the disease is getting worse, I don't know if there is any cure nearby." Is there a doctor?"
"Oh, there is a one-armed doctor at the end of South Street in front of us. It's just that this doctor has a habit of going to bed late. He usually doesn't open the door to welcome guests until three o'clock in the morning. It may be a little early now." He smiled and said "However, this one-armed doctor has great medical skills. Everyone from all over the place knows his name! Everyone calls him the one-armed miracle doctor. Come and have a look!" The old shopkeeper smiled brightly and was also a kind man. businessman.
When Liu Ruyan heard this, he smiled immediately, looked at Chu Yunfei, and said in his heart: "Master is saved now! Master, you must hold on and get better soon, Sister Hua is still at home waiting for you!" Master, my disciple's life experience is unknown. Why have you refused to tell him the truth after all these years?" He was so confused that it was as if there was a poisonous snake hidden in his stomach that was wrapping around his heart tightly, making him unable to breathe. Get angry.
Luo Xiangxue stood next to Liu Ruyan, looked at him and smiled: "Brother Liu, don't worry too much, Uncle Chu will definitely get better. Without further ado, let's go quickly!"
Liu Ruyan carried Chu Yunfei on her back, and Lei Zhentian carried Zhao Qingzhu on his back. The group hurriedly got on their horses and ran towards the South Street directed by the old shopkeeper. The entire Yangpingguan Town is located between two towering mountains, with only two long streets, one south and one north. Although the town is not large, it has various functional agencies.
At this time, it was the busiest moment of the day in the market. All the shops along the street were open for business, and market goers from all over the country gathered together. The whole market was noisy and lively.
In a moment, everyone rushed to the end of South Street. Many people who came to seek medical treatment were standing under a huge ancient locust tree. A medicine shop named "Baiweitang" was located under the ancient locust tree.
Everyone got off their horses and went straight to the front of the hall, where they saw a thin old man with white beard and hair sitting in the hall. The old man looked about fifty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and was diagnosing and treating patients at his desk. Xu Feng looked inside and thought: It seems like this is it. I don't know if the doctor can cure them both, so I have to look for luck. Immediately, he ordered Liu Ruyan and Lei Zhentian to help the two of them over. Chu Yunfei's face was still red, but Zhao Qingzhu's face looked livid. Although both of them were unconscious, their expressions were completely different.
When the patients at the door saw the Jianghu people coming with swords, they all looked at them with surprise. Everyone looked at the stupid Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu, showing surprise and a bit of fear. People from the world often appear in this place, which is not a strange thing. However, seeing these two strange-looking people aroused curiosity and looked scary, so they had to stay away and avoid them.
At this time, the waiter who was busy taking medicine in the hall also looked here, couldn't help but stop what he was doing, came to the old doctor who was concentrating on the consultation, bowed down and whispered: "Master, look!" He frowned. He frowned and looked confused.
The old man raised his head and looked here, his two shining eyes shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but frown.
Xu Feng took a step forward and stood in front of the old doctor. He smiled and said politely: "Excuse me, Master, I have two friends who are suffering from strange diseases. Please take a look at them!" Behind them were Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu. He was holding on, his eyes were empty and lifeless, looking straight into the hall.
A group of people at the door watched from a distance and started talking quietly from time to time.
The old doctor lowered his head and wrote out a prescription, handed it to the waiter beside him, and told him to grab the medicine quickly. He slowly stood up and looked at Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu doubtfully, his eyes flashing. After looking at them for a long time, he said: "Hel them over!"
Bringing the two people forward, the old doctor looked at them carefully, reached out and gently opened their eyelids, looked at them, and said hesitantly: "Have they been frightened in any way?" He turned to look at Xu Feng.
Xu Feng nodded and said: "Exactly, these two friends of mine were harmed by others before, and I don't know why they became so stupid. Master, please take a look, what kind of disease do they have?"
The old doctor stretched out his hand to test the breathing of the two men again, and said slowly: "Their eyes are dull and the pupils are scattered, and their breathing is uneven. What's even more strange is that one's face is more than rosy, and the other is more than ashen. Alas!" He sighed quietly, stroking his beard with his hand and said, "At first glance, it looks like he is poisoned, but..." He stretched out his hand to feel Chu Yunfei's pulse. Before he finished, he took Zhao Qingzhu's wrist and tested it. After a long time, Then he nodded slowly.
Everyone looked at the old doctor intently, and Liu Ruyan asked anxiously: "How is it, Master? What disease do they have?"
The old doctor's pupils shrank slightly and he muttered: "Here, this patient's pulse is weak, his face is flushed, and his expression is sluggish. He doesn't appear to be poisoned, but he doesn't seem to be infected with some dark evil. If he had been exposed to Intimidation, I wonder what kind of fear it is? Can you tell me in detail?" He looked carefully at Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu. The two people behaved very differently, and they obviously did not suffer from the same disease.
Xu Feng sighed deeply and said solemnly: "To be honest, Master, this friend of mine was kidnapped by his enemies and locked up in an airtight dark room for half a month. During this period, he was tortured. Wait until we rescue him." After that, it became like this, alas! Fortune plays tricks on people!"
The old man stroked his beard and said with twinkling eyes: "So, you don't know what happened next?" He slowly walked around Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu, looking up and down, but still frowning. exhibition.
After a long time, the old doctor slowly said: "I am just a doctor who treats illnesses and saves people. I don't understand the methods of you people in the world, but based on my many years of medical experience, you two friends may suffer from... It's a delusional disease!" He paced, sat on the bamboo chair again, and told the clerk behind him who was taking medicine: "Chang Gui, please bring over the Qihuang Sutra from my study."
The guy named Chang Gui responded, turned around and quickly walked into the study, and took out a thick white-covered torn book from inside.
The old doctor glanced at the dozen patients waiting for medical treatment outside the door, put the torn white paper on the table, and said to Xu Feng: "My husband, you see, my patients have been waiting outside for a long time. Can you please wait here for a moment, let me see these patients, and then slowly treat your two friends?" Seeing that Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu were in special situations, he couldn't figure out the reason for a while, and was worried about the outside world. Patients who have been waiting for a long time will feel unhappy, but it is inappropriate if this affects their future business.
Everything comes first, then ends, and what the old doctor said is not unreasonable. He then saluted the old doctor with clasped fists and asked everyone to rest behind the curtain. Chu Yunfei and Zhao Qingzhu were placed on soft couches behind the curtains.
Liu Ruyan and Lei Zhentian stood by and observed, while Xu Feng and Luo Xiangxue waited patiently outside the door.
