Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 101
(18)

However, for the juniors who are not deeply involved in the world, such a tormented and long wait will undoubtedly produce a kind of dullness that cannot be ignored.The guests behind the screen, after time passed, naturally couldn't escape similar emotions.

What they saw and heard along the way, even if it can't be said that there are surprising adventures every day, such adventures are not rare.Those novel things stimulate people's most fundamental thirst for knowledge. While spreading cunning and danger, they also don't forget to give people hope and beauty.Just looking at the scenery passing by during the journey, those comfortable green forests, already feels that the trip is worthwhile.

Relatively speaking, the vicissitudes and loss of Xiahe Town are really uncomfortable.The discomfort was gradually getting worse in this waiting mixed with morbid whines.If this kind of negative emotion is not shown to the outside world, it will definitely suffocate people to death.

For this reason, people had no choice but to write anxiety on their faces, and the final result must be that the entire town was covered with an indelible shadow.And the newcomers just inevitably became part of it.

According to ordinary people's logic, the doctor Zhang should be the same.But to everyone's surprise, the gloomy atmosphere in the side hall improved only after his arrival.

At this time, it should have been approaching night, and there was still a little yellow light in the dark sky, shining on the flag swaying slightly in the wind at the entrance of the pharmacy.As the last patient left, the little drug boy closed the wooden door and lit a joss stick.A thin figure appeared in front of the screen, and then he went around to the side hall and said hello to everyone: "It's really disappointing to keep everyone waiting for so long."

I saw this man dressed in gray cloth, with loose beard and hair, and no hair crown, bowed his hands to several visitors and said, "What's the matter? You don't look like uncle's servants... the letter, but it has been delivered?" He has a graceful demeanor Ya, but drooping brows and eyes, dead air, messy hair like a bunch of weeds and willows, which grew out of place on a tall tree; Gives the impression that he is a good old man at a glance.

E Feiying was quite sentimental when she saw that the other party was so old, so she reluctantly took out the "blood book" in her lap and handed it to Zhang Yi.When the other party took the "blood book", he was puzzled for a moment at first, and then seemed to be frightened, the hands holding the letter couldn't help shaking violently, and the already disheveled beard and hair became even more messy.It's just that Zhang Yi didn't seem to care about his appearance at all, so he knelt down in front of the low table, put the letter on the table, put his hands on his forehead, and stared at the letter with a look that might collapse at any time. look like.

"How...how could..." Zhang Yi looked at the "blood book" in horror, and said sadly, "The letter was not delivered!"

"Mr. Zhang, are you alright?" Murong Yan who was on the side asked eagerly, "You seem to be in a poor state of mind, why don't you go and rest first? We can still wait..."

"I can't wait any longer!" Zhang Yi roared loudly, startling the others, and then he sobbed and said: "If you wait any longer, the whole town will die!" Blood book", burst into tears.

Seeing him in such a strange state, the others hurriedly said all kinds of good words to comfort him, and the little medicine boys beside him even urged each other to quicken their hands and feet, to cook a few doses of tranquilizing medicine.Of course, the most nervous and puzzled one was naturally Miss E Wu.

"Cousin! Cousin, what's the matter with you!" E Feiying deceived her body, beat her shoulders and rubbed her back like coaxing a child, and cared for her repeatedly: "Don't cry! You are a man, how many times are you in front of you?" In the face of a human being, cry so much!"

"Cousin?" Zhang replied inarticulately: "Who is Cousin?" As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Miss E Wu next to him in doubt and said, "You are...Xiaoyingzi? How did you become like this? What a bad look? How did you come back here?"

Seeing that he stopped crying, E Feiying replied without politeness: "What do you look like? I'm just going to ask you. Look at your appearance, how is it different from the blind sixth child in the next street?"

"Blind Sixth? Hehe..." Zhang Yi moved his eyes to the setting sun outside the window, and sighed, "He died of illness two months ago... Thinking of how we used to play around him, I can't help feeling deeply moved. "

"You should tell us clearly!" E Feiying grabbed the "blood book" again, took out the destroyed letter inside, and asked: "You just said that the lives of the whole town are entrusted here The letter is here, what does it mean?"

Zhang Yiqing rubbed his forehead to sort out his thoughts, and appealed to Shaoqing with everyone. It turned out that this letter was a request for help from the imperial court.In view of the close relationship between E Bing and high-ranking people in the ruling and opposition parties, he planned to use his hands to directly report the news to the latter.

"It's just... why the town will be destroyed if the letter is not delivered?" Zhao Kuo, who was on the side, thought for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back the chatterbox, so he asked.

"Due to the rapid spread of the epidemic and the urgent need for war now! Therefore, the emperor has already issued a military order, which is only valid for three months. If there is a delay of half a minute, and the epidemic spreads to the imperial city or any other place, then the most effective measures will be taken." means' to prevent the rampant plague." Zhang Yi looked at the letter covered in ink and blood, and said: "The letter is the wish of me and the officials and doctors in Xiahe Town, requesting that the time limit be extended for another month... Now the three-month period is approaching, only three days away! And we haven't found a way to completely cure this stubborn disease, so if we continue like this, we can only..."

"However, the emperor did this for the sake of the overall situation... If the enemy country knows that this disaster has happened in the rear, the consequences will be disastrous..." Zhao Kuo said to himself, and Zhao Xiaomei who was beside him pushed him angrily, almost He lost his dignity and fell down on the table in embarrassment.

"Zhao Kuo, what are you talking about!" the little girl said angrily, "Dr. Zhang is so devoted to curing the sick and saving the sick, could it be that you killed him with one word?"

Ajuan also echoed: "Unexpectedly, I fell in love with such a heartless and ungrateful person..."

Although Zhao Kuo repeatedly explained that he had no intention of offending, he was still inevitably condemned by the morality that existed in the hearts of others.

As soon as the words fell, there was a rapid knock on the door of the medical hall, and a panicked and helpless voice was screaming desperately: "Doctor Zhang, please save my wife!"

The little drug boy handed the fried "Anshen Soup" to the master, saw Zhang Yiyang nod his hand, and ran to move the door blocked by wooden boards with other friends step by step.Upon opening the door, a young man was looking for a doctor with a delirious girl on his back.

After drinking the medicinal soup, Zhang Yi calmed down his sad face again, wiped the tears from his face, said "wait a moment" to everyone in the side hall, and then went to welcome new patients.

Seeing that Dr. Zhang's medical ethics and heart are rare, Baifeng and his party felt reverence spontaneously.No matter how depressed one's own mood is, he will not pass this emotion on to the patient.Although Caicai lost control of his emotions for a moment, after clearing up his mood, he regained his seemingly rough, but actually gentle and pleasant appearance.

When the man who came to seek medical treatment saw Zhang Yi coming, he knelt down on the ground with his wife in an instant, and cried, "Mr. Zhang, my wife misbelieved the evil words of the Tao of Taiping and drank the wine from those Taoist priests." Wangyoujiu'. When I got home, I lay on the bed and babbled half asleep. I didn’t think so at the time, so I went out to do things as usual. But when I got home, I found that the blood in her wrist was all over the bed! The other hand He was still holding a dagger. I quickly stopped the bleeding, and I came here on my hind legs!"

After Zhang Yi heard it, he sighed and shook his head again and again, and then brought the couple into the room for medical consultation.After Shaoqing's tranquility, the couple thanked them all over their faces and left in a hurry.

Hearing that it was Taipingdao again, the young swordsman who had been silent for a long time was naturally indignant. This was because both his master and himself had unexplainable grievances with Taipingdao.Seeing Zhang Yizhong sitting back on the table, Bai Feng asked first: "Doctor Zhang, who is the evil spirit of the Taiping Dao! Why can I see their traces everywhere? There are no righteous people in such an evil way that harms the world." Willing to come forward?"

"Who is this?" Zhang Yi asked hesitantly to his cousin.

E Feiying responded by introducing her new friends to her cousin one by one, and also told about the unknown messenger she met in the future.

After Zhang Yi knew the consequences, he couldn't help feeling that his cousin was so brave and fearless, so he laughed and joked: "I think back then, Xiaoyingzi was not as fierce as she is now. At that time, she was sick all day long. Damn, I don't even want to say a few words..."

"Cousin...let's stop talking about those things!" E Feiying squinted at her friends, begging shyly, "We also want to know the answer to Bai Shaoxia's question! Cousin, let's get back to business." ..."

"This group of Taoist priests are able to be so rampant, all relying on their celestial master - the current national teacher and the emperor's confidant, Sima Tu!" Zhang Yiqing twisted his black beard, took the tea cup presented by the little medicine boy, While filling tea for the guests, he said: "It is because the officials dare not act recklessly against them, and those who serve the people can only let them persecute them... Before the plague raged a few months ago, I exposed this group of demons in person. However, after the disaster, the demagogue method of this group of monsters came in handy, so the number of believers increased."

"What is 'this Wangyou wine'?" Bai Feng asked.

"Ah! The so-called 'Wangyoujiu' is actually just 'Du Kang' mixed with 'Wu Shi San'!" Zhang Yi replied, and beckoned a medicine boy to take the Wu Shi San from the medicine cabinet. take it out.He took the bowl full of medicinal powder, and continued, "Wushi Powder was originally used for medicinal purposes. It was a prescription formulated by Zhongjing's ancestors to treat typhoid fever. Therefore, taking this medicine has a certain effect on this plague. It's just that If the medicine is taken too much, it will cause people to lose their minds and have hallucinations, so it is called 'forgetfulness'."

"So, this plague is caused by 'typhoid fever'?" E Feiying resolutely said: "I suspect that the messenger died strangely, so it is related to the Taiping Daoists! There are two reasons. First, you have offended my cousin. Second, if the deadline is approaching and the emperor sends people to deal with the epidemic, the Taiping Taoists can also take the opportunity to control the panicked and helpless people. In the end, the people will have to go with them and become real lambs to be slaughtered. "

Seeing that his cousin was quite different from before, Zhang Yi showed a very gratified smile on his face, and said: "Although this disease is typhoid fever, it is different from the category recorded in medical books. If it takes a little longer, I am not afraid of it. The disaster that my cousin said happened..."

"Now the letter can't be sent out, and it's being restrained by those Taoists of Taiping. The only way is to make those Taoists retreat." Zhao Kuo looked at the young swordsman and said with a smile: "I know Brother Bai I can't wait to kill these thieves with my own hands. It's just that it's getting late now, and we don't have a better plan. Why don't we say goodbye first and find a place to rest, how about it?"

"Since everyone is interested in helping us in Xiahe Town, Mr. Zhang will definitely help out at that time! The shopkeeper of the 'Fulai Inn' on the West Street has received my favor, so you can borrow it there. Tomorrow, I will go to various households. Ask a doctor, and strive to find a cure for the disease as soon as possible. The group of Taoists usually recruit believers at the "Taiping Temple" in the north of the town. If you intend to go, remember to call your parents and officials first, otherwise you will be regarded as refugees by the officials. banish..."

After speaking, everyone bowed to say goodbye one after another and left.
