Chapter 22: Take a sip of wine
After climbing five high mountains and flowing through four large rivers, the group finally arrived at Nanban. The ox cart is too slow, which is really a burden, but there is no way, and I am reluctant to lose it.
"This southern barbarian is full of mountains and dangerous waters, can the divine dragon really be a dragon?" Wu Quji regretted that he agreed to come to Nanban, but since he came, he could only go on hard, but he had to complain.
Jiang Wangshu, who is known as a reckless poet, liked it very much, and he praised: "It is obviously a beautiful mountain and water, and it is a paradise."
Qi Guanzhuang doesn't matter, he has spent most of his life in the barren mountains and mountains, but he feels kind. Even in this line of ranks, he has become the most powerful person, whether it is distinguishing the road or digging up edible wild vegetables. The radish and cabbage on the ox cart have been eaten, and they all rely on Qiguanzhuang to catch fish, hunt and dig wild vegetables to feed their stomachs.
Qiao Yin occasionally left the team to dig herbs, but Jiang Wangshu was not very relieved, so he asked Wu Quji to accompany him.
Jiang Wangshu was responsible for the safety of the entire team, and there were several waves of tigers, leopards and jackals encountered along the way, and even met two groups of southern barbarians, but the group of southern barbarians was far away and showed no signs of moving.
This trip was originally to find Shenlong wine, and it was best to avoid incidents, although there have not been too many problems so far.
So the most idle thing in the whole team was Jue on a black horse, who was served to drink medicine in the morning and evening, and hurried on horseback during the day.
The wolf screamed twice in protest, indicating that he was the center of the group. It is true that except for a few items in the ox cart, the rest of the place is occupied by the domineering little wolf, on which it sleeps comfortably, and sometimes the road is too tortuous and bumpy, and it disturbs its sweet dreams, and it shows its fierce appearance to frighten the chariot Qi Guanzhuang.
Today is the fourth day of entering the Nanban, but he has not seen the villages and fireworks of the Nanban, Jiang Wangshu is a little anxious.
Even if Qiao Yin is deeply inherited by Pu Miao and his ability to distinguish herbs is not weak, even his master Pu Miao has never seen the strange medicinal herb of Shenlong, let alone him? So if you want to find Shenlong Wine, you still have to rely on the Southern Barbarians.
Jiang Wangshu had an idea, and he ordered the convoy not to leave the main road, and to investigate by himself to see if he could find the Nanban.
"Jiang Hou, what's wrong?" Wu Qu asked puzzled.
Jiang Wangshu said: "We've been trying to avoid the Southern Barbarians these days, right?"
Wu Qujian nodded and said: "Yes, if there is a conflict with the Southern Barbarians, it will definitely be us who suffers, we are just looking for medicine, and if we can make less trouble, we will have less trouble."
The group all looked at Wu Qujian with compassionate eyes, Jue stretched out his hand, handed out the Danshen Wutong Pill that he hadn't finished drinking, and said, "It's time to take medicine."
"Go, go," Wu Qujian rolled his eyes, he was not much older than Jue, let go of the expectations of hundreds of thousands of Qi people, returned to his original temperament and said, "I'm stupid, not amnesia." ”
Qi Guanzhuang raised his eyebrows with his rich experience in surviving in the wild, and finally he was no longer the most inconspicuous person in the team, but the whole team was still respected by Jiang Wangshu, whether it was force, knowledge, or behavior, Jiang Wangshu was much better than the rest.
Jiang Hou still instructed in every way, he was not very relieved, he didn't know the details of Qi Guanzhuang's strength, but the guess would not be too high, otherwise how could he be willing to fall into the grass? As for the use of force, it is more about leadership, and it is not considered to be a force alone.
Qi Guanzhuang drove the ox cart slowly, and the fat cow opened its mouth from time to time to chew a mouthful of grass slowly.
"Childe, this white-eyed wolf is biting me again." Qi Guanzhuang said dissatisfiedly, obviously he was the master who fed the little wolf, but the little wolf turned his face and didn't recognize people, just like now, he was bored and hoarse. Although the Nanban floor is warm, but now it is also a cold winter, and the Nanban is only warmer than the Mandarin country.
Jue jumped out of the carriage, untied the little wolf's rope, and said, "Go play."
The little wolf arched the arch affectionately, licked Jue's face with its hot tongue, and then scurried into the woods with a puff of smoke, startling the partridge sparrow.
"Childe, if you untie the noose, it won't come back." Qi Guanzhuang shouted anxiously, he thought that Jue was just playing with the little wolf, and he didn't react until the little wolf ran out.
Qiao Yin was distinguishing the year of a newly dug Yuanzhi, and he suddenly thought of something from a long time ago.
In the west of the fangs, a group of children clapped in a circle, and Qiao Yin squeezed in and saw that it was a little sparrow, which might not be able to fly yet, and its wings might be broken.
Jue carefully held the little sparrow in the palm of his hand, and an older child pushed and said, "Why did you take our bird?"
"I'll trade this for you." Jue tore off a citrus knife hanging around his neck, which was still called consistent at that time.
The next day, the little sparrow died.
"Is it worth it?" Qiao Yin asked.
"That's all I can do." After many years, Jue's answer has not changed.
Qiao Yin has traveled to many places with Pu Miao over the years, and has also seen all kinds of people. Master Pu Miao said: "Diseases can be detected, but people's hearts are unpredictable; Diseases can be cured, but people's hearts are difficult to treat. ”
This time from Emei to Bashan, I met one on the way
Old friend.
"Quack, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Four or five men shouted as they stood in the way carrying a coffin.
Qiao Yin knew one of the men, who he met at the bottom of the mountain when he was on Emei before, carrying his dying old mother on his back, Pu Miao took out his hand to renew the old man's life, and this man was grateful to Dade at that time.
"I wonder what you mean by that?" Pu Miao asked.
The man in the lead slapped the coffin and shouted, "My old mother was killed by you, quack."
"Nonsense, it's clear that my master saved your mother." Qiao Yin was furious and argued with the man.
"The old man only has this money here." Pu Miao stopped Qiao Yin and took out the money bag, which had two taels of gold.
"Quack, don't come to harm us in the future."
Pu Miao and Qiao Yin left Shu with a curse.
"Master, why don't you argue with him?" Qiao Yin asked angrily.
"Because they wear straw sandals," replied Pu Miao with a smile, "that's all I can do." ”
Qiao Yin looked at Jue's back, and suddenly felt that he and his master Pu Miao were together. Although he likes to talk back to Pu Miao, he likes this eccentric old man in his heart. When Mr. Meng returned to the courtyard, he only found Qiao Yin hiding under the bed, and then handed him over to Pu Miao, who thought that Mr. Meng was going to sell him to this strange old man.
"Tell me about the past." Jue turned back to Qiao Yin and said.
"Before? I forgot about it before," Qiao Yin said with a smile, "Now I'm a disciple of the Medical Saint Pu Miao, Pu Yin." ”
Qiao Yin was suddenly relieved, he used to think about his brother, and he was still thinking about Qiao Gongziyin's identity, but now, his name is Pu Yin.
He suddenly understood why the master was half a doctor and half quack, illness could be detected, illness could be treated, and Pu Miao had a wonderful technique of rejuvenation, so he was a medical saint; People's hearts are unpredictable, people's hearts are difficult to treat, and Pu Miao is a quack doctor because he lacks skills.
Qiao Yin suddenly opened his throat and shouted: "There are only mediocre people in the world, who have no blame and no reputation."
Wu Quji asked, "Is this what the First Holy Son Ugly Lord said?"
Qiao Yin nodded and said, "The only doctor in the world is the holy doctor who lives and dies."
Jue heard Mr. Zichou's teachings again, so he respectfully asked, "The second sentence is also said by Mr. Zichou?"
Qiao Yin shook his head and said slyly, "My master said it."
Jiang Wangshu lifted his sword and went to a high place, wanting to condescendingly investigate the terrain and people, but Lin Shen had a dangerous road and was struggling, so he had to give up. He tried his luck as far up the river as he could, for if there were any homes, it would not be too far from the water's edge. But Jiang Wangshu didn't dare to go too far from the team, and he didn't go deep into Nanban, so he didn't dare to hold it up.
Qiao Yin, who should be called Pu Yin now, casually glanced at a mountain ginseng, so he shouted, "I'm going to dig up the herb, it's just opposite."
"Jiang Hou said not to leave the main road." Qi Guanzhuang saw that Pu Yin had dismounted, and couldn't help but say.
"It's okay, soon, everyone has their own preferences, and the doctor likes the medicinal herbs more than the beauty." Pu Yin joked.
"I'll go with you, you go first." Wu went to pick up his sword and dismount and followed.
Jue rode a black horse online, followed by three horses, and at the back was the ox cart of Qiguanzhuang, and the two walked slowly.
"Childe, you should actually go to Lanpu." At this time, there was no one else, and Qi Guanzhuang said the words that had been held all the way. He personally performed a salute for Jiang Minnie, flowing clouds, carmine, and glamorous.
"It's good if you don't go, it's good for everyone." Jue smiled bitterly. The shallow figure in my memory is getting fader and fainter.
"Jiang Yu's debt, Ah Wu has already repaid, he doesn't want to affect the son." Qi Guanzhuang's voice was low.
"I won't mention it later." Jue didn't want to continue the topic. He suddenly felt that it was good to be an idiot, he took medicine every day these days, and he had some memory of what happened, but the more he could remember, the more distressed he became.
Qi Guanzhuang sighed, if it weren't for Ji Zise's courage to kill the official family, I'm afraid he would still be a bandit. That Jiang Yu's identity is not just a simple swordsman from the Imperial Palace, she is also the granddaughter of Feng Shunian and Jiang Minnie's sister.
Fate played tricks, Minnie's wedding dress had been cut, Jiang Yu should have been a swordsman with a promising future, Ah Wu should have been a bandit who was as ruthless as a wolf in front of Bashan bandits and as docile as a dog in front of Gongzi, and he should have been a bandit who took refuge in Bashan and fell into the grass.
Qi Guanzhuang looked at Jue's back, which was neither burly nor thin, and suddenly laughed, and tears rolled down again.
"What are you laughing at?" Jue asked.
Qi Guanzhuang wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Ah Wu asked me to tell my son a word, and I just remembered it today."
"What?" Jue asked calmly.
"Ah Wu said that when he first saw Gongzi, Gongzi said that he would travel thousands of miles," Qi Guanzhuang's eyes were red, and he secretly scolded Ah Wu for being despicable, and then continued, "I will accompany Gongzi in the future." ”
"Qi Guan," Jue called out his surname, but did not call his name, "I will reward you with a sip of wine." ”
Qi Guanzhuang took the small wine jug, took a sip lightly, and drunkenly half fell on the ox cart, this was the first time that Gongzi called him by name.
