Chapter 73 Getting closer

Li Shen arranged for Zhou Heiniu to find a stick, tie a flashlight to the top of the stick, and raise it high to illuminate the road.

He drove the donkey cart himself.

It was dark and the roads were unfamiliar.

Li Shen was worried and asked Zhou Heiniu to drive the car.

If the donkey is frightened again and he is thrown into the ditch, and there is no Lin Xirou to save him, his life will be at risk.

Now, Li Shen cherishes his life very much.

When they reached a mountain forest, Li Shen called out to Zhou Heiniu, who was dozing off, "Stop sleeping, Heiniu."

Hei Niu rubbed his eyes, "Ah, are we here yet?"

But seeing the darkness around him, he sighed, "We haven't arrived yet."

"We followed the guidance of passers-by and drove day and night. If we don't run in the wrong direction, we should be able to reach the county seat before dark tomorrow." Li Shen said, "Now, go pick up some firewood sticks and light a torch to illuminate the road."

The range of this small flashlight is too small.

If you want the donkey cart to go faster, you need a brighter torch.

It is about a hundred miles away from the county seat, and the donkey is not walking fast. If it does not speed up, it will not be able to enter the county seat before dark tomorrow.

"Okay, Brother Musheng." Zhou Heiniu put the flashlight on the donkey cart, rubbed his eyes, and went to the wild forest beside the road to pick up branches.

Li Shen found the kapok batting from under the car board and rolled it into a ball.

He took the branch that Zhou Heihu had found, picked the thickest one, and tied it with kapok.

Then he took out a jar from the secret compartment on the floor of the car, poured pine oil on it and poured it on the kapok.

Light the fire fold and ignite the torch.

"Take this, shine this." Li Shen handed the torch to Zhou Heiniu.

Zhou Heiniu said in surprise, "It turns out there are still these things hidden under the car board."

"Your sister-in-law Lin hid it." Li Shen sighed.

He also just discovered it.

I accidentally bumped into a hidden compartment under the trolley.

I reached out and touched it, and it turned out that there was something hidden inside.

What a clever woman!

I don't know if she will be able to deal with those people tactfully if she is approached by people from the county government.

When he learned that a wealthy woman in a large carriage had picked up Lin Xirou, he immediately thought of the pair of stewards from the county magistrate's office he saw at the market that day.

They searched for doctors in every village.If you can't find it in other villages, you will definitely find it in Tianfeng Village.

Lin Xirou couldn't recognize the person from the county magistrate, so she was probably deceived.

As long as the donkey didn't lose his temper, they kept going.

When Zhou Heiniu was sleepy, Li Shen tied the torch to the armrest of the cart.

Let him sleep in the car.

He kept on driving.

……

Lin Xirou got into the carriage, looked at the middle-aged woman, and smiled slightly, "I don't know what I call you, do you have any errands at the county magistrate's house?"

The manner in which this woman spoke and acted was not that of a servant of low status.

Being able to go out to do errands and ride in a carriage must have some background in the mansion.

Let's try to please her and enter the county magistrate's office so that I can help her speak.

"My maiden name is Liu, and I am Liu from Wen Dao Liu. I am the second manager of the house and the person next to Madam." Mrs. Liu looked proud.

Lin Xirou said in surprise, "Yeah, your surname is Liu, and my mother's surname is Liu. When I see you, I think of my mother who died young."

She was talking nonsense.

The higher-ranking medical women in imperial hospitals were trained by the relatives of the imperial doctors themselves, and were from official families.

Those of lower rank, such as her who did errands and cooked medicine, were all selected from the palace maids.

As for the maids of this dynasty, they were either bought or selected into the palace when they were five years old, and the maid they were taken to took their surname.

It is not allowed to mention the original family and original name.

After entering the palace at a young age, many people have forgotten their origins over time.

For example, the original owner knew nothing about his past.

She said she was close to the surname "Liu" because the original owner's mentor was named Liu.

Seeing that she was well-behaved and cute, and took the initiative to get married to her, Mrs. Liu became more fond of Lin Xirou.

"You don't have to just please me. If you cure the young master's disease, the madam and the master will naturally give you a heavy reward."

Lin Xirou blinked, "It turns out that the young master is sick. I wonder how sick the young master is? How old is he? How long have he been sick? Has he hired a doctor?"

Madam Liu looked at her and said, "When you get to the house, you will naturally know."

He refused to say anything more.
