The woman on the bed was still crying. Chai Yanjun suddenly appeared from behind and pulled Xu Ling away. "You have to persuade her and wait until she gets better. Her brain is damaged."
Xu Ling was pulled to the backyard by him, and Chai Yanjun handed him a note, "Aren't you going to do business? This is the name of the medicinal material I wrote down. You should ask about it wherever you go. If this recipe is on The medicinal materials are cheap, so buy as many as possible."
Xu Ling took the note, read it again and again, and accepted it solemnly.
"I understand, but what's the matter?"
Chai Yanjun sighed, "It's hard to say, but now there are people in the city starting to stock up on medicinal materials. Our ancestors often said that after a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. The north is hit by snowstorms and famine. We here can still hide for a while, but if the epidemic breaks out , I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive alone, so I’d better make more preparations.”
Xu Ling's heart tightened, and he quickly asked Chai Yanjun if he had the seeds of these medicinal materials.
"What do you want seeds for? It's too late to plant them now!"
"Just in case, even if you don't use it this year, you can still use it in the future."
Chai Yanjun thought he was very strange, but he still couldn't resist Xu Ling.
In his free time, he would also open a medicinal field and grow some medicinal materials himself. He did have a lot of seeds. When Xu Ling asked for them, he gave many to him.
Xu Ling is waiting for the scalded man's boat. When the time comes, he can take the rescued people to Quanzhou first, where he will sell the spices in exchange for food, and then the two teams will separate.
Since the people he rescued were old, weak, sick and disabled, it would be troublesome to move to the inn for medical treatment. Chai Yanjun allowed these people to live temporarily in the backyard of the medicine hall. They were all men anyway, so it was just a squeeze.
Xu Ling also stayed here temporarily. With him here, he bought three meals a day in the medicine hall and charcoal for heating. After a big fight with Chai Yanjun, the two seemed to have become friends.
There is a subtle feeling of sympathy between the two people.
They are all soft-hearted and can't stand the difficulty of the world, but they are also incompetent.
Chai Yanjun can save people, Xu Ling can provide money, and the two of them work together happily.
Occasionally, Chai Yanjun would invite Xu Ling to drink with him in the evening. Braised vegetables bought on the street, a pot of wine simmering on the charcoal stove nearby, the surroundings were solemn and cold, and everything was silent.
"The remarks you made today are quite interesting. If a woman is independent, the world will be wider? This is not something a man would say."
Chai Yanjun raised his glass, Xu Ling touched it lightly with him, and said with a smile: "I have an old lady and a girl at home. I have a wife and a daughter. They are all women, but they are not inferior to me. My mother is a female celebrity, and I No, my wife can cook, and neither can I. My sister has a photographic memory of reading, and I am average in intelligence. Although my daughter is still young, she will definitely not be inferior to me in the future. Dr. Chai, what do you think are the advantages of women and men? Is it inferior?"
Chai Yanjun drank and was silent. He has been a doctor for so many years and has seen all kinds of people, and Xu Ling is one of the strangest types of people.
Call him a traitor, but he is also kind. You could say he is a man, but he admires women from the bottom of his heart.
Chai Yanjun couldn't tell what kind of person Xu Ling was, but he felt that no matter what he did, it would not be surprising.
At this time, he just smiled and replied: "Men have strengths and weaknesses, and women naturally."
Xu Ling rubbed the cup, thinking of Liu Niang, Taoxian, and the people he had rescued recently, none of whom were women.
The lower class are all oppressed. Men lose their lives, and women slowly lose their lives after losing their use value.
Thinking of the maids that Sun Baoyao bought back in the tooth shop, they may be better off than men freezing to death on the streets, but they are not even concubines. Is their future fate better than that of Tao Xian?
If women can be given a way out, they may not be worse than men.
It's just that rescuing women is more troublesome than rescuing men. He can't spend so much money to buy those poor women and then rescue them.
Xu Ling was helpless.
"well."
"You're celebrating the New Year, why are you sighing?"
"I'm wondering when I will be able to do anything I want."
"Haha, you have such a loud tone, but you are also capable of reaching the sky?"
"You're celebrating the New Year, think about what's going on?"
"That's true, then I wish your dream will come true as soon as possible."
"Doctor Chai, what do you want?"
"The world is peaceful, the seas and rivers are clear, and the prosperous age is peaceful."
"..." Xu Ling couldn't help but complain, "You are a doctor, wake up, studying medicine can't save the Yong Dynasty."
"What can I learn to save him?" Chai Yanjun seemed to be drunk. He looked over his head like a student seeking knowledge and asked Xu Ling sincerely.
Xu Ling was dumbfounded, thinking over and over again in his mind, thinking of the things he learned under the red flag in his previous life, thousands of words turned into just one sentence.
"The art of slaying dragons."
Chai Yanjun's eyes suddenly widened, he couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand, and spilled some wine.
Xu Ling felt hot in his heart, thinking of the thin few pages of written records in his previous life, about the people's desperation, and the suffering lives behind them.
Why did he learn those things? For the sake of peace and prosperity in the world, peace and prosperity in Yanhe and Qing Dynasties!
The Yong Dynasty could not be saved by one person. The rotten roots had to be shoveled out and new seedlings replanted before towering trees could grow.
It’s just that when the world rises and falls, the people suffer.
Xu Ling was used to being lazy. He was afraid that he couldn't do it, and he was also afraid that he was incapable. He said it out under the influence of alcohol. Seeing Chai Yanjun's ghostly expression, he felt that he was a little arrogant.
"That's all, just treat it as..."
"Is there really such a magical skill in the world?" Chai Yanjun asked in a low voice with a serious expression.
Xu Ling put down his wine glass, tapped the stone table, and said solemnly, "Yes."
"Okay, okay!" Chai Yanjun looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. When he looked at Xu Ling again, his eyes were different from before.
The two of them toasted and drank tacitly, ignoring the topic.
Xu Ling slept until dawn when he heard someone cleaning the yard outside. He opened the window and saw that it was one of the people he rescued. He didn't ask his name.
I closed the window and lay on the bed, I couldn't help but complain about myself, drink, drink, drink! Why are you pretending to perform the "dragon-slaying art"!
What a sin! How to face Chai Yanjun now?
Are you afraid that you will be regarded as a fool and a heretic?
"Mr. Xu, are you awake?"
Hetong's voice came from outside the door, and Xu Ling quickly responded: "Wake up, come in!"
Hetong came in with hot water and looked at each other with Xu Ling, "Master asked me to help you wash up. Breakfast has been set out."
"What happened to your master?"
Hetong shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know either! It became like this early this morning!"
He was still feeling strange. A few days ago, his master called Xu Ling "goddamn" and refused to even call him by his name. Later, he called Xu Ling "that brat, that brat." Yesterday, he and Xu Ling had a drink together. When he woke up, he specially called him here and told him to address Xu Ling as "sir".
He also said, "Xu Ling has great talent and needs to be respected."
Hetong stared at Xu Ling, only to see that he was tall, with a waist and long arms. He looked more pleasing to the eye than before, and there was nothing special about him!
