117. Valley of the Medicine King
Jun Qianyu already knew about it when Ziyun came in just now, but he didn't find it, and he kissed until the little man in his arms was out of breath, and he couldn't resist it anymore before he stopped, and pressed the person in his arms to have a good reminiscence.
It's a pity, why didn't I know earlier that the warm fragrance of nephrite jade was so wonderful?
"Let's go, let's go eat." Jun Qianyu took Ning Xi's hand and walked out, Ning Xi followed behind in a trance, wondering how the relationship between the two had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Ziyun saw them come out, and quickly ordered to go down and put the food out, and when the two slowly walked to the dining room, the steaming meal was already waiting for them.
Ning Xi didn't sleep all night, and ran around all night, he was already too tired to work, and he didn't have much appetite, so he only drank a bowl of soup, picked up some light vegetarian dishes and ate a few bites, and was about to fall asleep when he lay on the table.
Jun Qianyu gave her a bowl of porridge: "Don't sleep yet, eat more, and sleep in the carriage later." ”
Ning Xi had to reluctantly eat, at this time Ziyun came to the carriage to go back and forth was ready, the two of them had a change of clothes and daily necessities have been prepared on the car, Jun Qianyu saw Ning Xi sitting at the table with a strong support, his head was already like a chicken pecking rice little by little, so he smiled and walked over and hugged the person horizontally: "Good guy, let's go to the car and sleep." ”
Ziyun hung his hands beside him clenched into fists, lowered his head and sent the two out, she was an orphan girl rescued by Jun Qianyu when he was in the military camp, she had followed him to the battlefield, and took care of his diet and daily life in the camp, after returning from the battlefield, Jun Qianyu did not bring her back to the capital, but placed her in the property here to settle her well, although Jun Qianyu was no different from others to her, but in Ziyun's mind, she was always different from him.
For many years, Jun Qianyu has not had a woman by his side, and I heard that even in his home in the capital, he was only a small servant and not a maid who served him closely, and she was the woman who could get closest to him, and over time, Ziyun's heart could not help but have some unrealistic fantasies.
Until the carriage in which the two of them were riding gradually disappeared from sight, Ziyun still stood at the door for a long time, watching the direction of the carriage in the distance, she couldn't be jealous, and she shouldn't be jealous, as long as the fifth master would still come to her, as long as the fifth master still had her in his eyes, she should be very happy.
"Girl, who is that woman? I have never seen the fifth master treat people so gently. The girl next to her asked curiously.
Ziyun turned around suddenly, glared at the little girl and said, "Are you in charge of the fifth master's affairs?" The little girl shrank her head in fright, and quickly ran back.
Jun Qianyu's carriage is naturally extremely comfortable, but this time he has to keep a low profile, the outside is ordinary and tight, and the carriage is not big, but the bed covered with thick cashmere cushions inside can barely squeeze two people, Jun Qianyu wants such an effect.
Under the shaking of the carriage, Ning Xi soon fell asleep without knowing who was in a hurry, Jun Qianyu hugged people close to him, and his heart was full of sweetness and joy, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, for fear of causing himself to be even more out of control, so he only buried his head in the back of her neck, breathed in the unique fragrance of the girl, and slowly fell asleep.
This road is non-stop, Ning Xi looked out of the car window, only to feel that the folk customs here are different from the Central Plains, women and men walk side by side, affectionate expressions can be seen everywhere, women's clothing is also much more open, and I can't help but ask curiously: "Where are we going?" ”
"Nanzhao." Jun Qian Yu said.
"Nanzhao, is the miracle doctor we are looking for living here?"
Jun Qianyu nodded and said, "That's right, the divine doctor we are looking for lives in the Medicine King Valley south of Yaowang Town, and is known as Sun Daoyi, the magic medicine king of the resurrection of the dead." ”
"Sun Daoyi? This name sounds familiar! ”
"I once mentioned to you that Princess Qi was treated by Doctor Sun."
As he spoke, the carriage drove into a rather lively town, and the streets were lined with inns and restaurants, and many of the shops stood at the door of the men trying to attract customers, but it was only a few steps away, and their carriage had been stopped many times.
Jun Qian Yu told Ningxi that there was originally only Yaowang Valley and no Yaowang Town, but the name of Doctor Sun was too loud, and there was an endless stream of people from all over the country who came to seek medical treatment every day, and the conditions for Doctor Sun to accept patients were very strict, and the people who came to seek medical treatment could only be accepted by him by one-tenth of them, and the rest of the people who were rejected were naturally unwilling, so they gathered nearby and waited for the opportunity, and slowly more and more people came.
Someone opened an inn here, and there were also restaurants and taverns, and these patients who came to seek medical treatment, even if they could not get the treatment of Dr. Sun, after all, they also wanted to be cured, so gradually there were doctors settled here, and the pharmacy was also opened, and then there were people who sold clothes and cloth, sold daily groceries, sold fresh meat and vegetables, made tofu, and struck iron, and all kinds of livelihoods were done.
Later, the imperial court sent a small official to manage this place, and a huge Yaowang town was officially established after crossing the Ming Road.
Jun Qianyu picked an inn that looked fairly clean, and the two of them went to wash up first, and then went to see Doctor Sun after taking care of their appearance.
Ning Xi's usual dress has always been simple, because she often works in a restaurant, so she often wears coarse cloth clothes, and her head is just wrapped in a headscarf at will, sometimes if she wants to dress up a little better, it is also Meng Shuangshuang who combs her hair, so she herself will not comb those women's complicated relapses at all.
But this time, Ziyun probably saw Jun Qianyu treat her extraordinarily, and she didn't dare to slack off when she prepared clothes for her, and she brought some very gorgeous and complicated women's clothes, Ning Xi had already put on them correctly It had taken a lot of effort, since they were already dressed so well, her hair naturally couldn't be pulled up as indiscriminately as usual, Ning Xi combed her long black hair over her waist and was worried.
Fortunately, Jun Qianyu knew about her, so he specially bought a gold ring commonly used by local women and tied it for her with his own hands.
"Is it pretty?" Ning Xi held the golden ring on his head, tilted his head and asked Jun Qianyu.
"Beautiful." Jun Qianyu said in a hoarse voice, almost unable to resist the urge to dismantle and eat people, he knew that his Xiao Ningxi would never be worse than those so-called beauties in Beijing when he was deliberately dressed up.
Ning Xi asked a little worriedly: "You said that Doctor Sun Shen's conditions for admitting patients are strict, but he doesn't know how to be strict?" ”
Jun Qianyu said: "Doctor Sun has three incurables, non-incurable diseases, non-dying people, and people who don't like his eyes. Whether you are a royal family or an ordinary person, you will be treated equally. ”
Ning Xi exclaimed: "Isn't it that many people can't pass this level?" ”
"Otherwise, how did you come to be in this Medicine King Town?"
"Don't worry! Since I can bring you here, I naturally have a way. Jun Qianyu took out a black wooden plaque and showed it to Ning Xi, the wooden plaque was made of wood, it was swarthy, and it exuded a special fragrance of medicinal herbs.
The front of the wooden plaque is engraved with the word "Sun", and there are three horizontal lines on the back, two of which are circled by a circle: "When I was in the army, I did Doctor Sun a favor, in exchange, he gave me this wooden card, and the three horizontal lines on the back were the promise that Doctor Sun could save people for me three times, and once I was seriously injured at the same time as the lieutenant general in the army, thanks to Doctor Sun, I was able to save my life, and these three opportunities to save my life were used twice." ”
Ning Xi suddenly became cautious when he took the wooden card: "Wouldn't it be a pity that such a precious opportunity was used up by me like this, why don't I try to see Doctor Sun first, maybe he will look at me pleasing to the eye and promise to detoxify me without using the wooden card?" ”
Jun Qianyu said: "There are hundreds of patients waiting in line to see Doctor Sun here, and Doctor Sun has set a rule, at most three people a day, if you really have to queue up to get chips and wait to see Doctor Sun, I'm afraid it won't be your turn in a few months, even if you have an antidote that won't poison immediately, but you also have to think about the hundreds of people who are also poisoned, the antidote we have on hand is not enough for everyone to support for a few months!" ”
Ning Xi thought about it: "Then let's go to Doctor Sun!" ”
"Good!" Jun Qianyu took her hand and went out together.
Yaowang Valley is located in a warm and humid valley, the valley mouth is covered with clouds and mist all day long, faintly visible inside the green grass, flowers, there is only one way into the valley, one side is the cliff, one side is the abyss, it is a dangerous place where a husband and a man can not open.
There are two guards at the intersection, and anyone who comes to seek medical treatment must pass through them.
Due to the difficulty of the carriage on the mountain road, Jun Qianyu and Ning Xi began to get out of the car and walk over as early as the distance, and only heard the sound of grief and crying along the way.
Jun Qianyu seemed to see what Ning Xi was thinking, so he said: "If you can't see the surface, you are not Doctor Sun, how can you know his suffering?" ”
Ning Xi said unwillingly: "It is the doctor's duty to do his best to help the patient, and the patient who asks for help should try his best to help, but now he is watching these many people in pain and despair and standing by and watching, is it the work of a doctor?" ”
"I heard that decades ago, Sun Daoyi did not have the name of a miracle doctor, but he also had the heart to help the world and save people, and treated countless seriously ill and dying people, but the doctor is not a god after all, there are always terminal diseases that cannot be cured, but there are such extreme people, who blame Sun Daoyi for the death of their relatives, and even committed murder with a knife, killing Sun Daoyi's young wife and one-year-old child."
Ning Xi was so frightened that he covered his mouth: "Oh my God, how can there be such a person!" ”
"Although that person finally bowed to the law, but since then, Sun Daoyi's temperament has changed greatly, and he lives in seclusion in this medicine king valley alone, and he no longer refuses to treat diseases and save people lightly."
Ning Xi sighed: "In this way, it's no wonder that Doctor Sun is no wonder. ”
Saying that, the two of them had already walked to the mouth of the valley, Jun Qianyu took out the wooden card and handed it over, the guard's face changed, and he immediately bent down respectfully and invited them in.
