Now the little man offered to go with them, so that the man and the girl were so happy that they hurriedly gave salutes again and again, and even the old man thanked them in a weak voice.

After introducing each other, Yang Xianmao knew that the family's surname was Luo. Luo Laohan is the shopkeeper of a silk shop, and his family is living a good life. There is a small house, and the son and daughter are not yet married. They all help in the shop, and the family does business.

The man's name is Luo Dakuang, and the girl's name is Luo Xiaomei. The tent they set up was relatively large, and it could be lived in even with Yang Xianmao.

At that moment, Luo Xiaomei hurriedly found a bed cover from her bag, spread it next to her brother's bed, and took out food for Yang Xianmao. Yang Xianmao was not polite, and talked to them while eating.

Yang Xianmao introduced himself as a partner of the Qin Doctor's Hospital, and he had followed the Qin shopkeeper to treat people before. Later, he was invited by a big family outside the city to be Langzhong at home, and then he left the Qin Medical Hall.

When they learned that Yang Xianmao turned out to be the most famous Qin family medical hall in the same state, the Luo Da basket brothers and sisters were even more relieved. Luo Laohan, who was lying on the bed, also praised in a vague voice: "The medical skills of the shopkeeper Qin are so high, people in many places have heard of it, and even I have heard of it. This time I was going to go to him for help, but I didn't expect to go a few days late, he had already left first, and fled to the south. ”

Luo Dakuang comforted his father and said, "Dad, even if we didn't find this Qin shopkeeper, but now we have found the Qin shopkeeper." The hand that this little man showed earlier should be able to conclude that he can completely cure your illness. ”

These words made Luo Laohan nod again and again, as long as he can cure his illness and live. No matter how much money he has to pay, Luo Laohan is willing. Now that the army is in chaos, it is not easy to find a famous doctor. The man in front of him is extraordinary, and he is willing to help, so he must be a good life.

The whole family thought so, so they gave Yang Xianmao all the delicious food and drink. also arranged the most comfortable position in the tent for him to live in, and also let Luo Xiaomei sleep side by side with him.

Of course, this was not arranged by Luo Xiaomei herself, but Luo Laohan told her son in private. He believed that this little man was a righteous gentleman, and it was impossible for him to think about his daughter when the family was in the tent. However, such an arrangement can be used to show goodwill and the greatest respect for Yang Xianmao, so as to arouse Yang Xianmao's intentions to treat his Luo Laohan.

It's just that this arrangement made Luo Xiaomei's face flush with shame, but her father and brother were there, and they lived in a tent, so she didn't have to worry about anything, so she lay down generously.

Yang Xianmao did not lie side by side with Luo Xiaomei in the quilt according to their arrangement, but sat cross-legged, like an old monk in meditation. This kind of sleeping posture has been cultivated by him during the cultivation period, and he can completely use his meditation to enter a restful sleep.

This posture can also make it possible for him to have a proper distance from Luo Xiaomei, who is lying next to him. At the beginning, the Luo family thought that Yang Xianmao was embarrassed, or that there was such a stage of cultivation before, and when he finished cultivating, he would lie down and sleep. But he didn't expect Yang Xianmao to sit cross-legged all the time, like an old monk in meditation, and he didn't mean to lie down until late at night. After several urgings from her father, Luo Xiaomei got up with a red face and said to Yang Xianmao: "Brother Yang, why don't you lie down and rest? If you feel inconvenient, I can go to sleep at the door." ”

Yang Xianmao's voice seemed to come from a dream: "No need, I'm sleeping like this." Don't disturb me, I will sleep until dawn. ”

After that, he stopped talking and continued to meditate cross-legged.

Hearing Yang Xianmao say this, Luo Xiaomei and her father and brother were relieved, it turned out that this was a unique way of sleeping. Luo Xiaomei even secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really embarrassed, she had to sleep side by side on the floor with a man she had just met, although they each covered their own quilts, it still made her very nervous, but fortunately, Yang Xianmao didn't do it at all. Luo Xiaomei subconsciously felt that what Yang Xianmao just said that he was used to sitting cross-legged and sleeping was an excuse, but he saw his embarrassment and was unwilling to embarrass himself. If this is the case, then this man is really a humble gentleman, which makes Luo Xiaomei's heart full of gratitude to him.

By the time it was almost dawn, Luo Laohan's breathing became rapid again, and he had asthma again. However, this time he just became ill, and Yang Xianmao immediately rescued him with acupuncture, which made his asthma quickly relieved.

This time before dawn, there was a thrilling illness, which made Luo Dakuang and Luo Xiaomei secretly call luck in their hearts. If it weren't for God sending this miraculous little man to rescue his father twice, it would be hard to say whether his father would have survived this catastrophe and returned to Longzhou safely.

The next morning, they packed up and set off again. The Luo family had an ox cart, and the cow was lame and very old. It is estimated that such an old cow can't even look down on the imperial court, so he didn't take it away, so he survived. The old cow walked a little slower than the human, but they didn't need to rush to get to know each other, and they didn't need to be in a hurry. Walking in an ox cart is much less strenuous than walking. What's more, Luo Laohan's body has a variety of diseases, and he is extremely weak and difficult to walk at all.

Luo Laohan sat on the ox cart, and Luo Dakuang insisted that Yang Xianmao and his sister sit on the front of the cart one by one, while he himself sat in the back of the ox cart. Along the way, I saw an endless stream of people hiding from the famine. But the further you go, the fewer people there are, because many of them have already parted ways and gone in other directions.

In fact, for avoiding military disasters, it is not safe to hide in a big state and county like Longzhou, because they will become the main target of the Jin soldiers, and hiding in small county towns and villages will not attract the attention of the Jin soldiers, and may be able to save their lives.

It didn't take long for them to come to Longzhou City. The defenders of Longzhou City are not many, but they are heavily guarded. Zhizhou, who guarded Longzhou, had already sent all the troops defending the city, including the horse and foot archers and officials of the yamen, to here, and even recruited many young and middle-aged people who had fled here out of their own pockets to join the city.

When Yang Xianmao entered the city, they found that the soldiers in military uniforms in the city, as well as the archers and soldiers of the yamen and yamen, were carrying various rolling wood and thunder stones for defense. Even a large iron pot was erected on the city wall, and countless water tanks were prepared to accumulate water, so that when the city was defended, the Jin army could use boiling water to defend when attacking.

When Yang Xianmao saw this, he was very impressed by the generals who defended the city. But judging from the current situation in the imperial court, Longzhou will not receive assistance from other armies. Relying on these troops and the gathered people, it is simply too difficult to hold the city.

Yang Xianmao had participated in many defensive battles with the Liao army in his previous life, and knew how terrible it would be to face an army from the northern nomads with rich combat experience. But the use of this defense can still make a considerable difference, at least it will give the people of the city a sense of security. If it had not encountered a large-scale attack by the Jin army, it would still be able to hold the city to a certain extent.

Yang Xianmao sighed in his heart, and staggered into the city with the ox cart.

Longzhou City was originally a bustling street, but now it has become much deserted. More than half of the shops have closed their doors, and some have even put up several large locks. And the whole city was much cleaner than before, because most of the rich people in the city fled out of the city.

It is not too far from Tongzhou, and the Jin army is only one or two hundred miles away from Tongzhou. If you come to Longzhou from Tongzhou, it will only be a day or two away, so Longzhou is also not safe.

For the poor, fleeing outside is not much different from staying here. So some people chose to stay, because when the Jin army came, they had nothing for the Jin army to loot. I heard that the Jin army was only interested in gold, silver, treasures and women, and did not carry out a brutal massacre, so most of the people who remained were safe.

After all, if any emperor wants to rule a land, people are indispensable. In the absence of special circumstances, no army will massacre the inhabitants at will for no reason. Because these people can only create wealth for them and provide labor for them only if they live, but the rich are different. So most of the wealthy people fled, so most of the empty ones were some large mansions, leaving at most one or two old men to take care of the house, or entrusting relatives who stayed behind to help take care of them.

Yang Xianmao and the others entered the city in this messy environment, and the group went straight to Luo Laohan's house.

After getting out of the car, Yang Xianmao helped transfer Luo Laohan into the house. Luo Dakuang insisted on going to their relatives with Yang Xianmao, saying that he would recognize the way, and if his father had a seizure and he couldn't find Langzhong, he could also come to Yang Xianmao for help. Because along the way, Yang Xianmao used acupuncture to control Luo Laohan's asthma who had just started his attack, if it weren't for Yang Xianmao by their side, Luo Laohan would have died several times on the road.

Of course, Yang Xianmao didn't want to agree to Luo Dakuang to go with him, because he didn't have any relatives here at all. He promised Luo Dakuang and his sister that after he went to find his relatives, he would talk to them, and then he would come to them. However, this proposal did not reassure the Luo Dakuang brothers and sisters, because after entering the city, they found that many houses in the city were empty. On the way, they also noticed that there were several medical centers and pharmacies that usually went to see a doctor and bought medicine, and the doors were also closed, and the buildings were empty. Because these doctors basically have some money in their families, of course they don't want to stay and suffer from military disasters, they have craftsmanship and can support themselves wherever they go.

After discovering that Lang Zhong had fled from the medical hall and pharmacy along the road, Luo Dakuang's brothers and sisters were nervous. Because they were afraid that if no one treated their father, he would not live long. Now that I have seen this kind-hearted little man, his medical skills are so clever. Along the way, thanks to his acupuncture, he was able to save his father's life. How could such a life-saving bodhisattva give up easily, if he left, who knows if he will come back.
