The next morning.

Yang Xianmao quit his job with the shopkeeper Qin, saying that he had found another job and could no longer work in the hospital. Shopkeeper Qin still felt a little sorry, because Yang Xianmao was very handy for him. When the shopkeeper Qin asked him some prescriptions that he couldn't grasp, he could also ask some useful ideas. Now that people are leaving, he can't be forced to stay, so he has to settle his salary, personally send Yang Xianmao out, and tell him: "If it's not suitable for you to do it, and you want to come back, the hospital is welcome at any time." ”

Yang Xianmao was still a little grateful to this Qin shopkeeper, and after thanking him, he came to Liu Erlang's house with the package on his back.

As soon as Yang Xianmao knocked on the door, the door opened, and Liu Sanmei appeared in front of her, as if she was hiding behind the door and waiting for him.

Liu Sanmei was indeed waiting for him, although she did not wait behind the door, but she was sitting on the stairs, holding a package and waiting for Yang Xianmao. Last night she was scared to the point of madness, and had a terrible spring dream. So she didn't dare to stay in that room any longer, so she packed her bags briefly, closed the door, and went out into the courtyard to sit.

Liu Sanmei would rather sit in the courtyard now, feeling the heat of midsummer gradually filling the entire courtyard, wrapping her in the stuffy heat. Finally waited for someone to knock on the door, Liu Sanmei couldn't even confirm whether it was that Xiao Langzhong, so she rushed up and opened the door, she only longed for someone by her side now.

After finding out that it was Yang Xianmao, Liu Sanmei even stared at the other party with some resentment, and a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, why didn't you show up when I wanted you to be by my side?

Yang Xianmao was a little puzzled by her eyes, and then heard Liu Sanmei say: "Please call an ox cart, let's go out by car, there are still more than 20 miles away from my mother-in-law's house." ”

At this moment, the army of the Jin State was moving south, and it was tight during the war, and in order to meet the needs of the war, horses and even donkeys and mules from all over the country were sent to the front line. The only way to transport it is ox carts, which are of course not as fast as horses and donkeys, but they are labor-saving. Long rides are also good and cheap. Yang Xianmao agreed, and hurriedly ran to find a rental ox cart. At the corner of the street, there was an old man driving an ox cart with a hat on his head, enjoying the shade under a tree.

In the past few days, the weather has been heating up, and the ground is steaming with the endless chirping of the trees.

Yang Xianmao called the donkey cart into the alley and came to Liu Erlang's house. Liu Sanmei told him the destination, discussed the price, and the two got into the car. Yang Xianmao did not sit in the carport with her, but sat on the other side of the rim, side by side with the handlebar.

Liu Sanmei was relieved to see that Yang Xianmao did not enter the carport, and felt that this little man was really sincere, with such a person doing long-term work, her father-in-law and mother-in-law would definitely rest assured, and she was a little more sure in her heart.

Liu Sanmei's in-laws' house is in Wangjiazhuang, twenty miles away from the city, and most of the people here are surnamed Wang. Although their family has some land, they are not a big family in the village. can only be regarded as a middle-class family. There are a few maids and long-term workers who do rough work, and two long-term workers quit their jobs a few days ago, and they are short of manpower. If you can find Yang Xianmao now, a long-term worker with great strength and down-to-earth responsibilities is the happiest for the owner's family.

Their ox cart gurgled out of the city under the heat, and Yang Xianmao sat on the edge of the ox cart, a little dizzy from the scorching sun. I saw a lot of people fleeing along the way, most of whom had fled to Tongzhou from the north.

The Jin Dynasty army went south, burning and looting all the way, and the people fled south in a hurry. In order to escape the war, many people fled to Tongzhou. Tongzhou was not far from the border between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty launched an attack from the territory of the Liao Dynasty after destroying the Liao Dynasty and attacked the Song Dynasty. If the Great Song Dynasty has no effect in resisting, I am afraid that it will not be long before the iron cavalry of the Jin Dynasty army will be killed under the city of Tongzhou.

Yang Xianmao sighed in his heart, how powerful the Liao Dynasty was at the beginning. In the era of Empress Xiao Yelu Xiuge, the Song Dynasty suffered a lot when it fought against the Song Dynasty. It is really unthinkable that such a powerful Liao Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty established by the Jurchens in less than ten years.

Now the Jin people are attacking the Song Dynasty, even more ferocious than the original Liao army. Yang Xianmao once led his troops to face off against the Liao army in northern Xinjiang, but that was many years ago, and he didn't know if the Song Dynasty would be able to resist the Qing Dynasty's attack. Because in the memory of Venerable Ling Xiao, it did not come to this moment, but it stopped abruptly before that. Perhaps Venerable Ling Xiao had ascended and fallen before this, so there was no content after this in his memory. Yang Xianmao had no way to rely on these memories to predict the final outcome of this war.

However, he didn't want to know, he only hoped to complete the task as soon as possible, and then return to the early years of the Song Dynasty to reunite with his family and live a peaceful life.

Yang Xianmao looked at these victims who were pushing carts and dragging their families, and their faces were full of dazed expressions. I don't know if at some point in the future, I will be like them, running around on the way to avoid the military disaster.

At last their ox cart left the city and made their way along the post road. From time to time, you can see people fleeing on the post road, and a considerable number of them are wealthy families wearing silk and satin. Driving ox carts or rickshaws pushed by long-term workers, walking along the road, their faces full of panic. Although they have fled to Tongzhou, relatively far from the border, these people have not yet recovered from the war.

The scorching sun in the sky baked people's scalps with oil, and Yang Xianmao's body was tempered by the true fire of yin and yang, of course, he was not afraid of the scorching sun. But the old man who was driving the car had been hiding in the shade of a tree, but now he was driving the car forward in the scorching sun. His scalp was sweating hot, and he couldn't help but take off the hat on his head as a fan. The gown on his body had long been unbuttoned, revealing his lean body. The ribs of the breast are horizontally one by one. Sweat was pouring down, and he took a big kettle from time to time and poured it with water, but his belly was already bulging, but he still felt more than thirsty.

Yang Xianmao glanced at his swollen stomach filled with water, and suddenly remembered Liu Sanmei's slightly bulging lower abdomen. I sighed in my heart that this woman was pregnant, but she still had to come out to take care of the funeral of her relatives. The in-laws didn't even send anyone to accompany them, which is really pitiful.

After walking some distance further, I saw some people on the side of the road in the distance, and I didn't know what was going on. When the ox cart got closer, I saw a person on the side of the road, crying and begging for help. But the people around stood coldly, but no one stepped forward to help, maybe they couldn't help.

Yang Xianmao hurriedly ordered the ox cart to stop, and he jumped out of the ox cart and went in to take a look, only to see that it was a young man, who was lying shirtless on the side of the road, and the person was already unconscious. A woman with a child on her back was kneeling beside her and shaking her husband. Another child stood there wiping his tears, and Yang Xianmao hurriedly said, "I'm Langzhong, what's going on." ”

The woman saw hope at once, quickly wiped her tears, and said, "My man fell down while walking, and I don't know what happened. I can't scream no matter how I call him, so please save him. If he has three longs and two shorts, how can we live with three mothers and sons!"

Yang Xianmao glanced at the packages they were carrying and the wheelbarrows they were pushing, and knew that they had come here to escape the military disaster. Quickly squatted down and grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse, then opened his eyeballs and looked at it and asked, "Has your man ever fainted before?"

"No, he's never been sick, he's fine. Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "It should be heat stroke." He looked up and saw a tree not far away, so he picked the man up by the waist and said, "Get down to the tree, it's cooler, get out of the way." ”

Everyone else hurriedly got out of the way, and Yang Xianmao carried the man under the tree and put him on the grass. Then he said to his wife: "Hurry up and fan him with a fan, and I will find a way to save him." ”

Yang Xianmao didn't have medicine at hand, and it was impossible to use medicine to treat him. He could only use the soil method, and he quickly searched in his head for what kind of soil method to use to treat heat stroke.

He memorized in his mind a large number of prescriptions, many of which were earthworks and home remedies in ancient texts, that is, recipes that could cure diseases without the need for formal medicinal materials. So it took almost an instant to find a way to do it.

He stood up and hurried to the post road. At this time, because of the scorching sun for days, the post road has been roasted as if it is about to be cooked. The flow of carriages and horses trampled the dust on the ground into powder, and the passing of the carriage always kicked up a cloud of dust. Yang Xianmao squatted down, returned to the man with a pot of hot soil on the road with his hand, and put the handful of soil in his heart.

Liu Sanmei also got out of the car and came over to see what was going on. Seeing Yang Xianmao put a handful of soil on the man's chest, he couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Xianmao said: "This is a kind of home remedy used to treat heat stroke, and using this hot soil raised by people on the road in summer can often promote the person who suffers from heat stroke to wake up." ”

But after a while, the man didn't wake up, the woman looked at Yang Xianmao anxiously and said, "When will my man wake up?" Langzhong, you must save him, I, I don't have money for you, I'll kowtow to you." - Son, kneel down and kowtow to Lang Zhong, and beg him to save your father. ”

The child who had been crying knelt down with the woman to kowtow, Yang Xianmao hurriedly waved his hands to tell them not to do this, and then said: "I only have one way, and now I don't have any medicine at hand, so I can only use the soil method." ”

He hurriedly ran to the road, came back with another handful of hot soil, piled it on the man's navel, and then dug a hole in the middle with his hand, revealing the man's navel. He said to the child, "Pee in here, be careful not to wash the dirt away." ”

The child drank a lot of water on the road because of the hot weather, and he had already held his urine. But Daddy fell down suddenly, and he forgot to pee in a fit of nervousness. Now I heard Lang Zhong say that he was going to pee on his father's belly, and he didn't know whether to listen to this for a while, and his eyes looked at his mother.

The woman anxiously said to Yang Xianmao, "Is this method possible?"

Yang Xianmao said: "Don't worry, no problem." - Did you bring garlic with you? If so, find a clove of garlic for me, I'll be useful. ”
