In the thirty-fourth year of the Yuyu Dynasty, on the twenty-fourth day of the next winter lunar month, we were in Seshudong County and Jinhua County.

The sky is slightly bright, the city gate is open, and the fireworks all over the city seem to be stirred by the westerly wind blowing from the city gate, like blue gauze billowing. New Year is coming soon, and the county master has ordered the city gate to be opened early and closed late, as much as possible Let the people in the surrounding villages go to the market to buy new year's goods. Jinhua County is ranked higher among the seventeen counties in Xuedong County, so it is naturally more prosperous than other counties. Even though the city gate has been opened early, the city gate still seems a bit crowded. This is especially true for the east and west city gates that can be connected to the end. Jinhua County is an old county. Due to its superior geographical location, it can be regarded as a semi-military hub. Therefore, there are many soldiers guarding the city defense. It can maintain the order of entry and exit, but it is not. What trouble will happen.

After entering the west gate and following the main road paved with bluestones, there was a roadside breakfast stall about fifty or sixty steps away. The sign on the street said it was Yang's noodles. The noodles were generous in portion, tasty and not expensive. , a large bowl of noodles only costs three cents, and a strong man can be eight cents full after eating one bowl. The stall owner, Lao Yangtou, has been setting up the stall in the county town for more than 30 years, and is considered a time-honored brand in Jinhua City. Basically, customers started to get customers as soon as the stall opened. By the time the sun rose, the noodles would be sold at a high rate. Old Yangtou was a contented man and was not greedy for more. He would close the stall when the noodles were gone. There were still a lot of people today. He looked at the chopping board. There is less and less dough on the table, and Old Yangtou looks much more relaxed. As the new year is approaching, he can sell more noodles, so that his good grandson can eat a bunch of more sugar candies during the Chinese New Year.

"Old Yangtou, here's a bowl of water."

A rough and familiar voice sounded. Old Yangtou stood up and rolled out the dough. He didn't even need to raise his head to know that the person coming was none other than Bantou Zhang of the county government. Bantou Zhang's home is in the county town, not far from Lao Yangtou's stall. Every day I always come here to have a bowl of water in the morning.

As soon as the noodles were on the table, Bantou Zhang ate them faster than usual. Before Lao Yang sat down and was about to say a few words, Bantou Zhang had already finished his meal and was about to pay.

"Boss, are you afraid of getting upset if you eat so fast today?"

Old Yangtou hurriedly stood up to say thank you, and by the way, he asked for more attention. The name of Team Leader Zhang is Zhang Zhi, who is from Jinhua County. He is not tall, but has a strong back and a strong waist. He is bald all year round, has a pair of eyebrows and a pair of leopard eyes. , flat nose, thick lips, and a nasal voice when speaking. After listening to Old Yangtou's words, Zhang Zhi hummed, put on his hat and said, "Don't ask if it's okay, don't ask around." He put down his money and hurried away.

When Old Yangtou saw this, he didn't dare to say anything. Zhang Zhi was not a fast class yamen officer, but the head of the strong class, in charge of escorting prisoners. It seemed like there was something big going on today. He usually would say a few words to Old Yangtou. After saying that, seeing Zhang Zhi disappear around the corner, Lao Yangtou planned to go back and sit and wait. When he turned around, he didn't know when two people were standing behind him, which shocked Lao Yangtou.

After taking a closer look, I saw a man and a woman. The man looked honest and honest, but the woman probably had some facial problems. Except for her eyes and mouth, which were not wrapped, the rest of the cloth was wrapped up to her neck and submerged in her clothes. At first glance, it looked a bit scary. , judging from the two men, they should be men from nearby villages who brought women to the county for medical treatment.

Old Yangtou originally wanted to get rid of people, but the Chinese New Year was coming soon. It would be a big misfortune for him to get this disease. The man looked dull, but this woman seemed to be able to observe people's emotions. Seeing the expression on Old Yangtou's face, she said in a low voice: It was a sore on the face that did not spread from person to person. I heard that a migrant doctor came to the county and was very skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, so I thought that he could rejuvenate the doctor. If the boss disliked it, they could buy it together with the bowls and chopsticks.

Hearing this, Old Yang didn't knead the dough immediately. He just asked the doctor they were talking about if he had two black and red moles on his eyebrows. The couple was immediately overjoyed. They had just arrived outside the city yesterday and heard someone saying that the doctor in the city A miracle doctor came, thinking that Old Yangtou knew where the miracle doctor was. Unexpectedly, Old Yangtou said that the doctor should have left the county. As for where he went, it was not clear because he saw this doctor before the city gate was closed yesterday. A miracle doctor took a child out of the west gate. Some people who were eating noodles this morning came to inquire. I think the doctor here is a real man, but he probably hasn't returned to the city.

Seeing the disappointment on their faces, Lao Yangtou raised his hand and asked them if they still wanted to eat. The dull man looked at his wife and asked for two bowls of water. As for the bowls and chopsticks, Lao Yangtou naturally didn't care. I will really sell it to them, just boil it in more boiling water.

"Boss, that guy just now was the yamen clerk?"

The dull man ate so quickly that there was not even any soup left. Seeing that the man was not full, Old Yangtou gave him another spoonful of noodle soup. However, the woman ate slowly because her face was covered with cloth. Seeing that it was still early, Old Yangtou sat on his stool and nodded and said: "It seems that you are also foreigners. The chai just now is the class leader of our Jinhua County Yamen. He is very capable. It is said that he is famous in the world of martial arts. They all have names.”

Old Yangtou had a look of awe on his face, and the dull man echoed incessantly. After eating the noodles, the two decided to go to the doctor in the county to have a look before paying and leaving. Old Yangtou continued to knead the noodles. In the winter, the noodles harden quickly, and if you don't knead them until they are soft, you will have to wait a lot for customers. He has been able to open this noodle stall in Jinhua County for so many years, so he has certainly paid enough attention to the details.

Seeing that the sun had gone towards noon and the remaining noodles were not sold, Lao Yangtou was about to close the stall. When he was about to pick the dices, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, as if a child ran away from his stall. He went over and turned his head to take a closer look and saw that the child's figure seemed a bit familiar.

Old Yangtou didn't think much about it. He was selling noodles at the gate of the city. He saw a lot of children when he came in and out. It was normal for him to think they looked familiar. As soon as he picked the trick, he heard the clatter of horse hooves from far to near. Soon he stopped in front of the big pot of the stall, and a strong bearded coachman whispered to the carriage behind him: "Master, there is a noodle stall here, how about we just take a bite first? Didn't the doctor say that we are not allowed to eat cold food?" , this noodle should be good, hey, old man, how do you sell this noodle?"

The group consisted of two carriages, followed by a coachman wearing an animal skin hat. He was a little far away and could not see his face clearly. The four sides of the carriage were wide open, revealing the cloth inside. He should be a merchant from Linxian County selling cloth.

After hearing the price quoted by Old Yangtou, the bearded coachman ordered five bowls. Looking at the man's size, Old Yangtou didn't think much about it. Food and clothing are a big expense for poor people, so the boss can let his servants eat more. It was also a blessing. There was just enough dough, and the noodles after kneading many times were naturally more chewy. Soon the noodles were cooked and were taken over by the driver. However, Old Yangtou did not expect that the bearded man handed two bowls to the car and gave them to the car behind him. The waiter handed over two bowls, and he took a bowl of noodles himself. Through the gap in the car in front, he could vaguely see that there was a woman inside. She was tall and thick, and she should be a servant, but the woman in the back didn't seem to be a good eater. The person who ordered two bowls of noodles.

However, Lao Yangtou was quickly asked for soup by the driver who was taking the finished noodles in front of him. After asking a few more questions, he no longer paid attention to the carriage behind him.

The carriage couldn't stay on the road for too long, and it didn't take much effort for the group to finish eating. Five empty bowls were placed in a pile on the table. After collecting the money, Old Yangtou closed the stall without paying attention to the group's route. , just as he was about to pull the car home, he saw an acquaintance with a strange appearance.

Although they were said to be acquaintances, in fact, Old Yang only knew that this person was a capable doctor and did not know anything else. However, he did know that he had two moles on his eyebrows, one black and one red. Seeing the anxious look on this person's face, Old Yang Only then did he realize that the doctor was with a young apprentice. After thinking about it more carefully, he suddenly realized that the child who just ran over must be his young apprentice. No wonder he looked familiar.

"Auntie, have you ever seen a child, so tall, and then..." The doctor grabbed an old lady who was passing by and asked. Then he grabbed a few more people and asked, but none of them saw it. When he saw Lao Yangtou pulling the car, he chased after him. When he came up and asked, Lao Yangtou told him without much thought that he had indeed seen it, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye. No one knew where the child had gone. The doctor with the double mole on his eyebrows thanked a few more people and then, like Old Yangtou, slowly disappeared into the crowd.

After noon, the raised curtains were lowered. Seeing that Jinhua County had been left behind, Si Longjun in the car asked worriedly: "Brother Shu, will Brother Fang and Sister Han be okay?"

Cui Wenhai glanced at him and shook his head slightly to tell him not to ask any more questions. In the current situation, although the three candidates have studied the dual arts of archery, their strength is really not good enough. At this time, they can only follow the arrangements of Brother Shu Ren, with Mu Mu behind. After finishing the battle, he looked back and saw a familiar carriage walking out of the city gate. He turned back and said loudly: "Don't worry, your sister-in-law's kung fu is no worse than mine. If there is another weirdo, the leader of the class will suffer a lot."

After hearing this, Si Longjun and Niu Qing couldn't help but shiver. They knew Han Buyao's martial arts was high, but Fang Luochen's strange disciples, Si Longjun and Niu Qing, were obviously with him. Feeling of fear.

Under the cold winter sun, Jinhua City has begun to become blurry. I estimated the distance and found that it was already more than ten miles away. Before I passed the corner, I could smell a faint fragrance. After passing the corner, I saw an inn. The scale is not small, and the noise can be heard from a long distance away.

The name of the inn is Donglai. It is a three-story building. The front floor is connected to the guest rooms. The backyard stables and elegant garden are extremely well-equipped. After noon, there are still many diners in the hall, but there are vacancies. Mu Mu and Si Longjun directly asked for two This time Cui Wenhai made a fortune every time he entered and left the guest room, and all the expenses were paid by the eldest son.

Because Han Bu Yao and his master were not around, Niu Qing was in a strange state, alternating between tension and relaxation. Mu Mu couldn't bear to see it. Ever since Niu Qing saw Han Bu Yao's sword, he fell into the same situation he had encountered at the beginning again. Fang Luochen said that his beloved disciple was in such a state of silence when he recalled the tragic situation that day that he lost his mind. After that, Han Buyao stayed as far away from Niu Qing as possible, but after all, he had to go all the way. , looking down and not looking up, they always bump into each other, and Niu Qing's condition becomes worse and worse.

"Have you heard? In the past few days in Jinhua City... Burial Mound... the corpse... I don't know if it was... a ruthless hand. It is said that the person who died... doesn't know... it's so tragic!"

"real……?"

"Yes, yes, I also listen... In addition to... there are also masters of...!"

The voices of the surrounding diners reached Mu Mu's ears intermittently. He was drinking tea with a calm face. Mu Mu turned his head slightly to hear more clearly, but he didn't expect Qian Zhong and Qin Xiao'e to push in at this moment. The weird costumes immediately silenced the hall. The couple found a corner and ordered a few dishes. People at several tables around them moved their seats, and the conversation shifted from the topic just now to the newlyweds.

Mu Mu invited everyone to eat without hearing any more news. There were a few people in the hall. Judging by their outfits, they should be escorts he was familiar with. They were just very quiet, eating meat in silence. There was only one bottle of wine on the table. A pot can keep you warm, but you won't get drunk and get into trouble.

When the sun was about to set, Han Buyao and Fang Luochen had arrived at the inn. Seeing them opening the door so quickly, Mu Mu asked what the result was.

"It's Gongmou's treasure house." Han Buyao gave the answer directly after drinking the hot water. Mu Mu was stunned. This legend was actually spread in the world again. How could he still find them.

Gongmou is a century-old family. It is a dynasty that occupied a corner of the southern border of the Hua Kingdom before the new Yuyu Kingdom unified the world. The Gongmou family has an outstanding position in the Hua Kingdom. It is rumored that there was a family member who intended to usurp the throne and hoarded a large number of weapons. Armor, gold, silver and jewelry, but before they were actually implemented, the Hua Kingdom was destroyed and became the land of three counties under the rule of the new Yuyu Kingdom. However, the materials hoarded by the Gong Mou family have never appeared, even if they brought Gong Mou with them. Members of the aristocratic family searched all over Hua Kingdom but could not find it, so the Gongmou Treasure House became a legend.

It is said that those who get the treasure house of Gong Mou can become rich merchants overnight, and can also become local forces seeking territory with the country. It is also said that there are a large number of martial arts classics in the treasure house of Gong Mou. If you get it, you can dominate the martial arts, but slippery. The country has been destroyed for more than three hundred years, and Yu Yu has unified the country for thousands of miles. The members of the palace family are either in exile or hiding in the world. The legend of this treasure house of palace conspiracy only exists in the martial arts world.

"How can a squad leader know so much?" Mu Mu asked this question directly after hearing this. Even if a small yamen squad leader has some skills, in the end he is just dust at the bottom of the bureaucracy. It would be too crazy to intercept and kill the students of Yuyu Dynasty rushing to take exams for this legendary treasure house.

"He said that the person behind the scenes had information about the treasure map." Fang Luochen looked serious as he sipped his tea. He was not stupid, and Mu Mu was not stupid either. The two of them looked at each other and understood in an instant that this so-called interception was not aimed at someone. Mu Mu is not targeting Cui Wenhai. The real purpose of the person behind this is Niu Qing, who was lucky enough to escape from Qingshui Village!

"In this case, I heard about the treasure before and it may not be false. Such a big move of intercepting and killing candidates did not attract much attention. It even bribed people from the government. The forces behind it are probably not simple." Mu Mu lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes closed tightly, with a solemn expression. At this time, he and Han Buyao could no longer serve as guards for Cui Wenhai and others. Fang Luochen's martial arts was not high, so he might not be able to protect Niu Qing. Now he could only do it as soon as possible Find out the secret hidden in Niu Qing, and then find a solution.

"Speaking of which, how dare you use my sect as a cover..." Han Bushao's eyes filled with uncontrollable anger, and he punched the table. Fang Luochen was startled, but Mu Mu opened his eyes. Eye said: "No matter what, let's call Niu Qing in first, and we will ask Niu Qing first to see if there are any clues in him that we have missed."

The two of us naturally refer to Mu Mu and Fang Luochen. Now Niu Qing is extremely resistant to Han Bu Yao. If Han Bu Yao were present, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to ask anything.

When Niu Qing entered the house, Fang Luochen asked Niu Qing directly. At that time, he was sure to see the characteristics of the perpetrator's weapon. Niu Qing just nodded. Mu Mu asked again: "What did you hear at that time? Maybe we can help you." revenge."

When Niu Qing heard the word revenge, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. He suppressed his fear of the tragedy of that day with the flame of revenge, and slowly began to recall that his body had been made strong by Fang Luochen, but his energy and spirit were It looked a little bad. Thinking back to the past, beads of sweat quickly appeared on Niu Qing's forehead.

Thinking of his father's words, he hid in the warm and bloody horse's belly and did not dare to breathe, because panting in winter would be seen, so he kept covering his mouth to control his breathing, trying hard to prevent the heat and sound from coming out of the horse's belly. Floating out, the weight of fear and despair almost made him faint. In confusion, he saw a long knife piercing through his father's body through a gap. What was engraved on the long knife was "Shaking the Sword in Hanbu" that day. The snowflake symbol revealed on the sheath seemed to indicate that someone called out to the owner of the long knife. The person replied that he knew it and left the stable. Later, he was suffocated and passed out. When he woke up, he was already stuffed in the grass. Among the stacks, and then he was kept in the haystacks until he was discovered and rescued by Mu Mu.

"Is the person who shot the knife a man?" Mu Mu asked immediately after hearing this. Niu Qing turned his head and nodded in retrospect. Mu Mu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then you have wronged Aunt Han. There are no men in their sect." Niu Qing said. Qing was stunned after hearing this, and then looked at his master blankly. Fang Luochen knew that some sects were all women, but he didn't expect that Hanhua Sect was one of them. If Niu Qing remembered correctly, there was no Hanhua Sect. suspected.

Seeing the master's expression, Niu Qing felt that the master was pretending to understand. But if Brother Shu was right, then he hated the wrong person. Seeing the worry on his little apprentice's eyebrows not diminishing but increasing, Fang Luochen stretched out his hand. He rubbed Niu Qing's head and said, "Remember that voice. If you encounter it in the future, take revenge if you can. If you can't, run away. Find Master, and Master will take revenge for you."

Niu Qing was silent. Although he was young, his resentment towards the enemy who killed his father was like a storm. But along the way, his master taught him a lot. He also knew that he was so weak that he must not be the opponent of his enemy. He felt that his master The warmth released from the palm of his head on his head, Niu Qing nodded silently and said "I understand", then was sent by Fang Luochen to apologize to Han Buyao. Mu Mu and Fang Langzhong were the only ones left in the room. They looked at each other and looked at each other. Come to the opposite side of worry.

"Is it so difficult for other students to go to the royal city to take the exam?" Fang Luochen raised his hand and pointed outward, asking with an unkind expression. Mu Mu silently took a sip of tea, and then said: "It's almost the same."

"Do you believe what you said?" When Fang Luochen saw Mu Mu not answering, the anger in his heart burst out completely, but Mu Mu shook his head and said, "Of course I believe it, because now many students have been thrown into the It is unknown what kind of dangers there will be on the road to the south of Jinhua City. You are also a person who has traveled thousands of miles. Do you really think this is a peaceful and prosperous age?"

Fang Luochen was so surprised by these words that he recalled that everything that happened after he met the couple at the Ironwood Ruins was like a big dream. But now Niu Qing, the young apprentice, likes him more and more and is reluctant to let go. Naturally, I have to continue to follow. , pedestrians are tied to a rope, and both are damaged.

As a doctor, Fang Luochen was used to seeing life and death. Seeing that he could not take advantage of his words, he could only snort and take a sip of tea. Seeing that his expression softened, Mu Mu said, "Don't worry, Biyanlou." You can't raise waste in this place. If the fishing thief is really from Bianyuanlou, the road ahead may be easier."

"You even dare to kill the candidates taking the college entrance examination. If we can arrive safely, it is really a blessing from God." After replying angrily, Fang Luochen still couldn't let go. Now that he has left Jinhua County, what will happen next on the road? Be sure to prepare enough potions as much as possible for emergencies. Mu Mu looked at his eyes rolling around and said with a bitter smile: "We are in the light and the other side is in the dark. It is definitely right to be careful, but Niu Qing, this child, should try not to use it in the future. Show your face, think of a way to make him sick on his face, if that doesn't work, let my guy do it."

Fang Luochen shook his head and replied: "You can't hide what is coming. Every man is guilty of carrying the jade. My disciple has a miserable life..." With a long sigh, Fang Langzhong left the house to look for Niu Qing, and Mu Mu went to look for him alone. Cui Wenhai told everything he knew. Of course, he did not reveal his identity. The situation in front of him had already given the three candidates a headache, so it would not only add to the trouble.

"If that's the case, Brother Shu Ren, how about we go separately?" Si Longjun was naturally frightened to the point of collapse after hearing this, but Cui Wenhai only turned paler and gave a way to deal with it. After thinking for a while, he said: "If If we don't separate, we can continue to disguise ourselves and sneak in, or we can avoid this disaster. The Cui family will do business, and everyone can still pretend to be guards, and everything on the road can be mainly business."

Mu Mu thought for a moment and said: "If we separate, following Niu Qing is naturally the most dangerous, and it also goes against the original intention of protecting everyone to go to the royal city. Since Mr. Cui is confident, he will follow the young master's arrangement. I will explain it to Qian Zhong and his wife later. The whole story allowed him and his wife to settle down in East County."

After the agreement, everyone took action, but what was surprising was that Qian Zhong and Qin Xiao'e actually planned to continue following. Fortunately, they could go from Seshu East County to Nagisa West County in three counties. The couple also agreed to stay in Nagisa. They settled in Liuhe County of Huaxi County. They had no objection to Mr. Cui's arrangement. Ordinary people couldn't afford a carriage. After the couple settled down, the carriage could be exchanged for Mr. Cui.

That night everyone had something on their minds. When they got up early the next morning, they saw Niu Qing busy with Zhang Erhan with dark circles under his eyes, waiting to leave the Donglai Inn. Everyone hid beside the official road and took turns changing clothes. Most of the clothes were They were all in Qian Zhong's suitcase. Except for Zhang Erhan and Niu Qing, none of them fit. Everyone's appearance changed.

Niu Qing's face was plastered with a plaster, and after Han Buyao's disguise, it was only a little bit similar to his previous look. The most troublesome thing was Fang Luochen, with one red and one black mark between his eyebrows. The mole was too obvious, so Fang Luochen, afraid of causing trouble, simply used a strip of gray cloth to turn himself into a blind doctor, and together with Niu Qing, they looked like a pair of charlatans.

After escaping the massacre in Jinhua County, everyone walked through three more counties before leaving Seshu East County and entering Nagisa West County. Nothing happened when passing through Qingsong County and Baishi County. However, after arriving in Guangyan County, they walked in Guanhua County. The two masters and apprentices of the house master on the road were surrounded by a group of people.

Guangam County is also within the scope of the Sescapus Mountains. This county is mountainous, so it is named Guangyan. It is rich in rock tea. This kind of rock tea tree grows on the cliff. Although it is evergreen all year round, the picking period is only in winter. It was extremely difficult. This tea was once a tribute tea. When the emperor personally conquered the Baihe Kingdom, the name of rock tea was canceled as a tribute tea. However, the price was still high, and non-merchants and high-ranking officials could not taste it. Naturally, ordinary people could not drink it.

The group of people who surrounded Fang Luochen were villagers from Lushui Village in Guangyan County, and they were all tea-picking farmers. The purpose of stopping Fang Luochen was simple, just to save people. Cui Wenhai didn't say anything after hearing this. Rock tea is quite famous in the tea industry. It is winter now. If we can receive some rock tea and sell it slightly lower than the market price, we can save some travel expenses, so the group followed these tea farmers. Dew Village.

But when they arrived at the village entrance, everyone saw a sign of decay. There were only a few households in Lushui Village, less than fifty, but nearly half of the farmhouses had white flags hanging at the door, and the jackdaws were hoarse. Even though it was noon, Lushui Village looked like a ghost. Senran, the person leading the way was a lean man named Shitou. He was the eldest son of the village chief, but he looked like an old man in his early twenties. Looking at the expressions of everyone, he knew that the scene in front of him was really scary, but human life was at stake, so he didn't care. Not that much, he dragged Fang Luochen, the blind doctor, and ran to the village. Fortunately, Fang Luochen was not really blind, otherwise he would have knocked out all his teeth just by dragging him.

When they arrived at a courtyard surrounded by wooden fences in the village, Shitou shouted: "Camellia, Li Camellia, I've invited the doctor here to treat Brother Zhuangzi quickly!"

The people in the house heard the sound and pushed open the wooden door. White mist spurted out, and figures rushed out. They saw that the woman named Li Camellia was full of tears and looked haggard. She saw that her brother Shitou had come so quickly. The doctor was originally happy, but when he saw Fang Luochen's appearance, he felt a little disappointed. The blindfolded man in front of him did not look like a serious doctor.

Just when he called Brother Shitou, he heard Shitou whisper: "I met this on the way to the county town. I also asked Gouwa to go to the county to invite him. Brother Zhuangzi's illness cannot be delayed. Let's take a look first!" These words were true! None of them avoided Fang Luochen. Niu Qing caught up with him at this time and naturally heard it, but he didn't have Fang Luochen's temper. When he heard that he invited others, his face dropped immediately, and he said in an old-fashioned way: "My master It’s so powerful, it’s just a matter of seconds to bring it back to life. If you look down on us, don’t drag us here!”

After finishing speaking, he pretended to pull Fang Luochen away. Along the way, Niu Qing learned a lot of tricks in order to cooperate with Fang Luochen. He was a little stiff at first. After seeing his master reveal his true skills, he became more confident. There was nothing he said, but Fang Luochen slapped Niu Qing on the back of the head, causing Niu Qing to stagger. Then he faced the two of them and said politely: "How about letting the blind man look at the patient first?"

Seeing this, Shitou stepped aside, and Niu Qing helped Fang Luochen into the house. The earthen house was divided into three, with the kitchen in the middle. The two stoves were connected to the east and west rooms respectively. The patient was in the east room, and Fang Luochen did not open it. The blindfold just put his hand on the wrist of the man named Zhuangzi. Niu Qing was also watching, even if he had seen the body die, he couldn't help but take a breath.

The face of this man named Zhuangzi was ashen, with black blood oozing from his mouth, and his breath was like a gossamer. Except for the arm where the master was diagnosing the pulse, it was normal. Even though he was covered with a quilt, it could be seen that his hands and feet were broken. Although there were no visible signs on his body, , but there is no good place to come.

After Fang Luochen’s pulse examination, he asked Niu Qing what he had seen. Niu Qing thought for a while but lifted the quilt, and then told him everything he saw. He had been following Fang Luochen for less than a month. , but Niu Qing is resilient, whether he is slow to learn something or not, he can learn from his heart. As soon as he said this, the two uneasy men and women next to him looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the child just now was full of arrogance, but he didn't expect it to be the same. A powerful person.

"The internal organs were injured and the muscles and bones were broken. To be able to survive this injury till now is considered a lucky life." Fang Luochen frowned but did not turn around to look at the couple behind him. Then he sighed and said: "A blind man can cure this disease. but……"

"Doctor... how much does the consultation fee cost? My eldest brother... can he be saved?" Li Camellia heard the meaning of Fang Luochen's words and asked hurriedly. Shitou next to him also followed suit. He and Li Chahua had made a baby since they were young. Dear, he is the son of the village chief, so he can also help. Fang Luochen shook his head and said: "If you fall into the hands of a blind man, your life is not a problem. The blind man can take no money from the diagnosis fee. You pay for the medicinal materials yourself, but..."

"Doctor, just tell me, as long as you can save my brother Zhuangzi's life, I'll do whatever you say." Shitou slapped his chest loudly, and Li Camellia beside him knelt down and kowtowed, just three or four times. The girl's forehead became red and swollen. Niu Qing hurriedly helped her up and turned to look at his master, but he felt a little proud in his heart. This kind of injury can be cured. The master is really powerful.

"I can prescribe prescriptions for patients, perform acupuncture, buy medicine, and prepare the medicine yourself. I can set bones and let my disciples practice." Fang Luochen pointed to his blindfold, and the two of them looked at each other with complicated expressions, who had just recovered from shock. Niu Qing, who had calmed down, made it clear to the blind doctor that he wanted to practice for his apprentice. This child was only in his early ten years. Regardless of his medical skills, his hands were probably not strong enough.

"It's important to save people. Disciple, take the needle bag." A soft shout blocked Niu Qing's open mouth. Regardless of the hesitation of the two people behind him, Fang Luochen directly opened the quilt and began to acupuncture the man on the bed. The two men watched as Fang Luochen fumbled through the first few injections, getting faster and faster as he went to the back. When all the needles in the needle bag exploded, the blind doctor exhaled slightly and said, "The injury is stable for the time being. But the next step is to take the medicine quickly. It’s past noon now, wait until the evening for another injection, and after dark, the bones will be set.” As he spoke, the twisted face of the person lying on the bed relaxed a little, but he still didn’t wake up. Here Shitou and Li Camellia were relieved. They had found a miracle doctor by accident.

Li Camellia borrowed paper and pen from her neighbor, and Fang Luochen opened her mouth to Niu Qing to record it. After filling out the prescription, he handed it over to Shitou. The man rushed to Guangyan County without any delay, and waited until Shitou left Fang Luochen. She said directly: "Girl, your brother needs to stay in bed for a year before he recovers. During this period, he can't do any physical work." Li Camellia could only nod with a grimace. She and her brother were now dependent on each other, if not...

"Doctor, can't you help my brother set the bones? Your disciple..." The woman did not dare to speak in full, but Fang Luochen nodded and said: "A blind man is no better than a sighted man. My brother's body has no less than 30 broken bones and muscles. Don’t worry, my apprentice has been with me for more than a few months. Moreover, after taking the medicine, he will fall into a drowsy state and cannot wake up even if it hurts. This night is the most critical. If it takes a long time, things will change easily. If you feel that you can’t stand it anymore, just wait outside the house. Bar."

After hearing this, Li Camellia could only accept her fate and boil water according to the doctor's words. Fang Luochen pulled his little apprentice over and asked him to touch his bones first. Niu Qing looked frightened and said that he was still alive. Xiao still needed more time to study, but Fang Luochen knocked his head and said: "Good apprentice, after this time, I won't be afraid anymore. As a doctor, I am used to seeing life and death. How can I be scared of injuries? Just feel the bones." I will also watch from the side during the bone setting at night, so you can rest assured that Master will give you the complete answer."

Niu Qing said no more, and the master and apprentice began to prepare for bone setting in the evening. However, in Lushui Village, Han Buyao frowned as he looked at the blood-stained tea bag in his hand. Opposite her was an old man with tears streaming down his face. He pointed at the mourning flags of every family in the village and shouted at the top of his lungs: "If the county magistrate hadn't insisted on asking for rock tea at this time, the villagers wouldn't have risked their lives to pick tea. This tea is produced in Lushui Village." Tea leaves are made from the blood of poor people like us!"
