Chapter 45: The Killer in Black
Yan Zixi sat on the edge of the bed, took off the old woman's blouse, took out the needle bag, picked out a few silver needles from the needle bag, and pierced them into the Fengchi, Lieqi acupoint, Hegu acupoint, Yingxiang acupoint and Fengmen acupoint.
Fengchi and Hegu acupoints can dissolve the surface and dissipate evil, while Fengmen acupoints can regulate the sun's meridian qi, dispel wind and cold, and can vent lung qi when there is a lack of columns; Welcome incense to clear the nose.
At the same time, the old woman's symptoms were immediately alleviated a lot, and the village chief Wang, who had not yet walked away, saw this scene and cried out ecstatically on the spot.
"Divine doctor, what a divine doctor!"
"Shhh, Village Chief Wang, the patients need to rest, don't make a loud noise, hurry up and gather the remaining patients, I will go over and inject them one by one later!"
Yan Zixi said to Village Chief Wang while piercing the needle.
Village Chief Wang agreed repeatedly, and then left with confidence.
After Yan Zixi tied the acupuncture points on the old woman's body, Village Chief Wang ran over with someone again.
"Miss Yan'er, we have already transferred the remaining patients, will you go over now?"
"Well, take me there."
Yan Zixi didn't care about wiping her sweat, rolled up the needle bag and walked out with Village Chief Wang and them.
They came to a large warehouse, Yan Zixi looked at it, this should be the place to store the harvest when the farm is busy.
It is now being set aside to house sick patients.
Pushing the door and walking in, Yan Zixi really saw that there were many patients lying in the huge warehouse, with symptoms similar to that old woman, who seemed to be infected.
"You don't need to worry, I will give you needles one by one!"
Yan Zixi roughly estimated that there were at least dozens or hundreds of people here, and if they were all treated together, I am afraid that she would not be able to use all the silver needles in the needle bag.
So Yan Zixi summed it up with Village Chief Wang and said that he would stay in the village for two days.
Village Chief Wang was naturally overjoyed, and personally slaughtered a pig for Yan Zixi that night.
It took two days for Yan Zixi to finally look at all the patients in the village, among these patients, those who are in good health have almost recovered, and some who are seriously ill and in poor health may need to continue treatment.
But Yan Zixi didn't plan to stay any longer, she called Village Chief Wang and said to Village Chief Wang.
"Village Chief Wang, I have seen almost all the patients in the village, those who have not yet recovered, I will prescribe a prescription, you can send someone to the county pharmacy to grab some medicine and come back to those patients to insist on taking it."
Yan Zixi handed over the prescription that had been written to Village Chief Wang, who was stunned in place.
"Miss Yan'er, listen to your tone, are you leaving?"
Yan Zixi nodded: "Yes, I have been delayed in your village for several days, it's time to leave." ”
"But we haven't thanked you yet! Miss Yan'er, don't worry, I have already discussed with the people in the village, and I am going to sell some crops in exchange for some money to pay for your treatment in our village, and I will be able to raise it soon, so it is better for you to stay for a few days. ”
Yan Zixi chuckled, "Village Chief Wang, you must have misunderstood, I don't treat diseases for any money, doctors are benevolent, and it is our duty as doctors to treat diseases and save people, so you don't have to bother, I plan to leave today." ”
"Miss Yan'er is not only superb in medical skills, but she can't imagine that she is so kind and benevolent, please accept my old immortal worship!"
Saying that, Village Chief Wang was about to kneel down for Yan Zixi, but was stopped by Yan Zixi.
"Village Chief Wang doesn't need to be so polite, you can be my grandfather at such an age, I can't afford this worship!"
"Hey, I can afford it! Afford it! Village Chief Wang was very excited and said: "You saved the lives of half of our villagers, let alone one worship, even if you give you ten worships, you can afford a hundred worships!" ”
As he spoke, Village Chief Wang's old eyes moistened.
Yan Zixi said a few more words to Village Chief Wang, and then prepared to leave with his burden.
As soon as he went out, Yan Zixi was stunned as if he was petrified.
Except for those in the village who were still seriously ill and bedridden, almost all the villagers spontaneously rushed over and gathered in front of her residence after learning the news that Yan Zixi was leaving.
When they saw Yan Zixi coming out of the house, the villagers knelt down in unison, shouting loudly.
"Thank you to the doctor for helping! Thank you for saving your life! ”
Seeing this, Yan Zixi hurriedly walked down the steps and asked everyone to get up.
"Everyone, get up, don't kneel for me, I'm not a miracle doctor, I'm just an ordinary doctor."
Yan Zixi lowered her head and smiled bitterly, as if she was laughing at herself, and then glanced at Village Chief Wang again, and said leisurely.
"Village Chief Wang, you let everyone go back, I'm leaving, farewell!"
Saying that, Yan Zixi walked to the stable and took out his horse, and when he was about to ride it, Village Chief Wang brought a few young men to chase after him.
"Miss Yan'er, I know that you are going north to the capital, but after all, you are a girl's family, and it is very dangerous to go out alone, so let's do it, I will let Dabao Erbao send you off, send you to the state capital, and then it will be safer for you to go north along the official road!"
"This ......" Yan Zixi hesitated for a while, seeing that Village Chief Wang was kind, and it was not easy to refuse.
And what Village Chief Wang said is also good, going north must pass through Yangzhou Mansion, and there are still many roads to Yangzhou from here, these roads are thorny paths, and they are often attacked by bandits, and there are two sturdy young men escorting them together, which is indeed much safer.
Thinking of this, Yan Zixi nodded, "Okay, then it's going to trouble Village Chief Wang and the two little brothers!" ”
Da Bao and Er Bao scratched their heads when they heard this, and laughed innocently: "Doctor Yan'er, you cured our brothers' mother's illness, and our brothers have nothing else, but they have some strength, and they will definitely send you to the state capital safely." ”
"Thank you!"
Yan Zixi thanked her again, in the past few days, Yan Zixi also knew that Dabao and Erbao were honest villagers, and they could indeed rest assured that they were with them.
In this way, after Yan Zixi said goodbye to Village Chief Wang and the villagers, she continued on the road with Dabao and Erbao.
In the afternoon of the next day, Yan Zixi, Dabao and Erbao walked into a small forest outside Yangzhou.
"Miss Yan'er, you can go to Yangzhou through this grove." Dabao brought a kettle and asked Yan Zixi to drink water.
"Really? It seems that the journey is quite smooth, and when I get to Yangzhou, I want to treat you to a big meal, hehe! ”
Dabao and Erbao waved their hands again and again, "No need, Miss Yan'er, I've sent you, we have to rush back to tell Village Chief Wang and them, so that they can rest assured as soon as possible." ”
"You are really a simple and good child, you will definitely be able to marry a virtuous daughter-in-law in the future!" Yan Zixi took the kettle and said with a smile.
Dabao and Erbao scratched their heads and lowered their heads a little embarrassed.
Erbao was bold, and muttered: "I, I don't want anything else, I can find someone like you, Miss Yan'er, I'm satisfied!" ”
"Hahaha, second child, let's think of it together!!"
Yan Zixi was drinking water, and when she heard Erbao's words, she snorted, and all the water in her mouth squirted out.
"Ahem, ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......"
"Miss Yan'er, you ...... Are you okay? ”
"Ah, it's okay...... it's okay" Yan Zixi glanced up at Dabao and Erbao, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become awkward.
These two little kids, how old are they, they just want this kind of thing......
Yan Zixi shook her head, and was about to educate them well when there was a sudden movement in the surrounding forest.
Dabao and Erbao immediately became vigilant when they heard the movement.
"What people, come out!"
Soon, several masked black-clothed people suddenly jumped out from behind the stumbling woods, surrounding Yan Zixi and the three of them.
Seeing these masked black-clothed people, Da Bao and Er Bao immediately became a little nervous, but they still stood in front of Yan Zixi and did not retreat halfway.
The black-clothed man at the head waved the machete in his hand, pointed at Dabao and Erbao and hummed: "If you don't want to die, get out of the way of Lao Tzu, what I want is that woman's life!" ”
"Want my life? Who are you, and who sent you? ”
Yan Zixi heard the words of the man in black and knew that the other party was coming at him, so he asked curiously.
"Hmph, dead people don't need to know this, when you get to the Netherworld, you go and ask Lord Yama!"
As he spoke, the man in black winked at his men and motioned for them to hurry up.
"Dabao, Erbao, you go quickly, they are coming at me, you are not their opponent, there is no need to lose your life for me!"
Yan Zixi was surprisingly calm, and she didn't know if she had seen too many similar scenes or what was wrong.
Yan Zixi turned around and continued to ask the black-clothed killer, "Let me ask you, did Yan Muxue send you to kill me?" ”
"Hmph, I've said it a long time ago, dead people don't need to know this."
"Then big brother killer, you have to let me die, don't you?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you!" The black-clothed killer sneered, and snorted in his mouth: "Yan Muxue spent a lot of money to let us take your life, don't blame us when you get to the Netherworld!" ”
Yan Zixi gritted her silver teeth, clenched her fists, and said resentfully: "Sure enough, it's her!" ”
"Okay, Miss Yan Er, don't blame us, I'll send you on your way! Do it! ”
Several black-clothed men heard their leader give an order, and immediately pulled out their knives and pressed towards Yan Zixi.
Da Bao and Er Bao had no fear on their faces, and took out the wood-chopping axes hidden on their horses to stop the black-clothed men.
"Don't come here, our brother will never let you touch a hair of Miss Yan'er!"
"Right...... Right...... Even if you die, we won't let you kill Miss Yan'er!" ”
"Dabao, Erbao, get out of the way, they will really kill you!"
"No, Miss Yan'er, we won't let you, they want to kill you, unless you kill our brothers first!"
"That is, the village chief has explained, we must protect Miss Yan'er, we don't want to be a person who doesn't believe in our words!"
