Qian Yu nodded and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Zuo Yi has already left for the capital and will arrive in Nanping Town soon. Soon we will be able to clear both money and goods."
As he spoke, he took out a fifty-tael silver ingot from his arms.
"If you need money urgently, you can take this first."
Lu Xinghe glanced at the silver ingot, shook his head and said, "When you have a thousand taels, give it to me together, so that you won't settle the score later and say that I won't even let go of your money."
Qianyu looked at Lu Xinghe and felt as helpless as if he had punched cotton.
This man not only refuses to suffer any loss, but is also thoughtful and does things without leaving any room for words.
"You must be an official in the future."
Lu Xinghe raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
Qianyu leaned back on the chair, with a face that was obviously childish, but with a sense of maturity that was far beyond that of his peers, "You are very suitable for officialdom. With your impeccable mind, no one will be able to grab your tail. "
Lu Xinghe smiled, "Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"Just think of it as me complimenting you."
After Qianyu finished speaking, he looked towards the side room.
Lu Xinghe took another sip of the tea in front of him and said nothing.
In the room, Chu Yue and Zhang Zheng were busy. They looked serious and worked meticulously.
"Master, give me the dagger."
Zhang Zheng quickly handed the dagger to Chu Yue. After taking the dagger, the little girl cut a small incision in the man's abdomen with great skill. Because there was a lot of blood around the incision, the cut was There was no scene of blood spurting out of the mouth.
Without tweezers, Chu Yue could only use her hands to pull out the hidden weapons from the man's knife edge one by one. These hidden weapons were strangely shaped, and some were deeply embedded in the flesh. It was not easy to separate them. The key was that these hidden weapons were still poisonous. .
Fortunately, Zhang Zheng had detoxified this man beforehand, otherwise he would have died.
"Be careful, don't hurt yourself." Zhang Zheng reminded in a low voice.
Chu Yue hummed and continued what she was doing.
Lin Linzong cleared out ten small hidden weapons. After confirming that there were no more redundant hidden weapons in the man's body, Chu Yue reached out to Zhang Zheng again, "Master, cotton cloth and water."
Zhang Zheng hurriedly delivered the things to her.
Chu Yue cleaned up the blood from the man's wound and disinfected him with liquor. Then she looked at Zhang Zheng, "Master, do you have any needles and thread?"
"have!"
Zhang Zheng hurriedly took out the needle and thread from his trousers, which made Chu Yue frown.
"Master puts needle and thread on his body and is not afraid of hurting himself."
Zhang Zheng chuckled.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Master is wearing thick clothes. Besides..." He leaned close to Chu Yue and whispered, "Master is still wearing armor on his chest."
Chu Yue looked at the old naughty boy beside her and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.
Master was willing to mention such secret matters to her, which showed that he trusted her very much, and she could not let down Master's trust.
Chu Yue soaked the needle and thread in white wine and began to suture the man's wound.
Half an hour later, the minor operation was finally over. Zhang Zhengchang exhaled, "Although I can detoxify him, I don't have your skill. After tonight, he should be fine."
Chu Yue nodded while cleaning her hands.
"Master is right, but I am very curious, where does Master's Mafei Powder come from? I have gone to the pharmacies and medical clinics in Nanping Town to ask, but they don't sell it."
"I saw there were some in the capital, so I brought some back. If you want them later, I can share some with you." Zhang Zheng said while looking at Chu Yue's stitches, "Your stitches are really good."
Chu Yue smiled and took the clean handkerchief on the side to wipe the water stains in her hands.
"Master is true to his word. When the time comes, Ma Fei Powder can give me some points."
Zhang Zheng bandaged the man's wound and covered it with the quilt, "It's just a little bit of numbness. It's not a precious thing. Why not give you some?"
After Chu Yue cleaned her hands, she came to the table and sat down. She picked up a pen and wrote the prescription on the paper. The hidden weapon in this person's body was cleaned out. The next step was to prevent infection.
"Master is going to the capital on this trip?"
Zhang Zheng stroked his beard and said, "Yes."
Chu Yue handed the written prescription to Zhang Zheng, "Master, look, is there anything wrong with my prescription to prevent infection?"
After Zhang Zheng took the prescription and read it, he and Chu Yue left the side room and handed the prescription to the guard outside the door.
After several people ate together, Zhang Zheng looked at Qian Yu.
"It's done. Originally, I was going to Banpo Village to meet my disciple three days ago. Because of your inconvenience, I was delayed for three days. If the man survives tonight, he should be fine, so I won't Stayed a little longer.”
Qianyu stood up and cupped his fists with his hands.
"Sir, walk slowly."
"You have to thank your mother. If I hadn't had some friendship with her, I wouldn't have come into this muddy water." After saying that, he turned and walked downstairs.
Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe followed closely behind.
Qianyu looked at the three people leaving, recalling Zhang Zheng's words, with deep pain and struggle in his eyes.
…
After getting on the mule cart, Zhang Zheng leaned back with a contented look on his face, "Oh, I used to wander around without a care in the world for most of my life. Now that I'm sitting on this mule cart, I actually feel like I'm going home. It's strange. How strange!"
Chu Yue said hurriedly, "Once you are a teacher, you are always a father. If Master doesn't mind, my home will be Master's home from now on."
Zhang Zheng laughed and pointed at Lu Xinghe.
"This boy's grandfather is about the same age as this old man. I don't dare to be his father. Looking back, the old man knows that he has to fight me desperately."
Lu Xinghe, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "Isn't it just for a bite to eat? Why do you say so high-sounding?"
After being exposed, Zhang Zheng touched his nose in embarrassment.
"You just don't know how to speak. Look at how lovable my disciple is, how easy it is to imitate others."
Chu Yue then looked at Zhang Zheng carefully and said, "Master seems to have lost a lot of energy after being away for a month or two."
Zhang Zheng sighed, "Isn't that right? There are many places affected by the disaster this year. Even if you have money on the way here, you may not be able to buy things. I can't even have enough to eat. It's miserable."
Chu Yue hugged Zhang Zheng's arm, "We'll be home soon. There's something to eat at home. I'll make a venison Bobo rice for Master to try later. Xingping, Xing'an and Xiaozhu have always been thinking about it since they ate it last time. .”
Zhang Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard the name of the dish. He looked at the little girl aside and asked, "What new dish have you developed?"
Chu Yue showed a mysterious smile, "Master will know when the time comes."
Zhang Zheng snorted, "You still have to deal with me as a teacher."
While a few people were chatting, the mule cart that had been moving forward for a while stopped, and Lu Dagui's voice floated in from outside the curtain of the cart.
"Xinghe, here we come."
Lu Xinghe was the first to pull Chu Yue out of the mule cart. Zhang Zheng, who was unaware, also got out of the mule cart and looked at the scene outside with questions in his head.
"Where are you? What are you doing here?"
