473, knight
Xu Xiaole really didn't know where to go after he left the city. Fortunately, he is familiar with the surroundings of Datongwei, and he has the waist card of the medical officer, and he is ready-made when he leads to Kanhe, and there is really no way to put it into the post station and rent official horses. But this is tantamount to throwing himself into a trap and letting people know his whereabouts.
So Xu Xiaole put up a banner with the words "cure all diseases". He took a string of iron bells in his hand, picked some herbs such as psyllium on the side of the road, loaded half a basket for the ink essence to carry, and walked south with his own skin. This looks like a traveling doctor in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't need to show people the way, everyone knows that he can't get the slightest oil and water if he makes it difficult. A few veterans asked him to diagnose his pulse and prescribe medicine, but they didn't give him a consultation fee, just left him to eat a mush.
Xu Xiaole was still a little reserved at the beginning, after all, his ancestors were doctors, and he went to the serious medical center to sit for a consultation as soon as he studied medicine, and he had never done the work of a traveling doctor. After repeated repeats, Xu Xiaole also discovered the benefits of traveling doctors. Although I don't enjoy the same respect as before, I feel closer to my patients. More importantly, he found that the patient did not care whether he could cure the disease, and most of the time he was a dead horse as a live horse doctor, seeking psychological comfort.
Therefore, Xu Xiaole combed his hair again, put on a modified Taoist robe, and pretended to be a little Taoist priest. According to the strict control of the monks of the Ming Dynasty, he is at most a Taoist boy at his age, and he has to be taken by the master when he goes in and out. However, the north side is not so strict, everyone sees that he looks cute, the pulse seems to be similar, a silver needle pierced into it and trembled, most of them have some ability, so no one takes the Da Ming law to set him.
This way to the south to the boundary of Taiyuan Mansion, Xu Xiaole has become an old Jianghu, knows how to listen to the accent to call people, knows that some boundaries taboo "big brother" can only be called "second brother", knows how to coax the old army to guard the door conveniently, and also knows that his "identity" can't go to the best restaurant in the city, let alone go to the elegant seat.
On this day, Xu Xiaole said goodbye to the temple where he stayed overnight, walked more than ten miles, saw a pavilion, there was a boundary monument next to it, and walked ten miles forward to be the county seat of Yuci County, Taiyuan Prefecture. He has spent a lot of time in temples these days, and he is almost vomiting when he listens to the monk's chanting, so he just finds a prosperous place to lift his spirits. As soon as he thought of this, Xu Xiaole hurried to urge the ink essence to hurry.
After walking a few steps, before the pavilion behind him was hidden, I saw a fast horse coming in front of me.
The horse was black, with white hair on its legs, and broad joints, and it ran with great momentum. Xu Xiaole has been in Datong these days, although he has not deliberately learned Soma, he can still distinguish between good and bad, and this horse knows at a glance that it is a rare horse.
The dark horse rushed to Xu Xiaole and stopped.
Xu Xiaole rolled his eyes and looked up, but saw that the knight was a woman in men's clothes. Sister-in-law Tong Wanqing also has men's clothes, so Xu Xiaole is not surprised, but just avoids one step.
The female knight deliberately said in a rough voice: "There are thieves robbing the road ahead, you better not go forward." ”
Xu Xiaole owed slightly: "Thank you, sister, for calling the police." ”
The female knight was displeased: "I am a man! ”
Xu Xiaole was happy. He specializes in medicine, can't he tell the difference between men and women? Although the young lady wrapped her neck with a scarf to prevent people from looking at the Adam's apple, Xu Xiaole looked at her waist and hip bones. The men and women in these two places are very different, and ordinary clothes cannot cover them, let alone the strong clothes worn when riding horses.
Xu Xiaole was already sleek, and he didn't raise the bar, so he said: "Okay, thank you for this brother's warning." Brother, your voice is a little ......."
The female knight glared at Xu Xiaole: "I have the ability to change my voice!" ”
Xu Xiaole laughed: "Okay, brother is really amazing!" He said and glanced at the black horse again, and continued on his way.
The female knight frowned and exclaimed, "Hey, I told you that there was a robbery in front of you. ”
Xu Xiaole said: "I have no long things, what is there to be afraid of?" ”
The female knight laughed angrily: "Your mule is good-looking, rather than being captured by those strongmen and burned into a fire, it is better to give it to me." ”
Xu Xiaole's feet froze: Oops, I almost forgot that the ink essence is not an ordinary mule, and I really can't bear to be robbed by gangsters.
The female knight saw Xu Xiaole stop and said triumphantly: "Let's go." ”
Xu Xiaole was unfamiliar with his life, so he had to be deflated: "Where are we going?" ”
The female knight said: "I'm going to Taiyuan City, and I can bring you to Yuci." ”
Xu Xiaole looked at the direction.
The female knight said: "Naturally, there is a detour. Those thieves have a bad reputation in the way, and I dare not meet them. Are you going or not leaving? ”
Xu Xiaole hurriedly said: "Let's go, of course I'll go with you...... But be slow, you're a good horse. ”
The female knight patted the horse's neck proudly: "Of course, not everyone can keep up with my wings, so I'll tell it to trot and wait for you." ”
Xu Xiaole packed up the herb basket, carried it on his own, and turned over the ink essence: "Actually, my ink essence is not weak." ”
The female knight didn't believe it: no matter how strong a mule's feet were, how strong could it be.
Wing Feather was also very displeased when he heard Xu Xiaole's words, and he snorted loudly on the spot, and impatiently ploughed the soil with his front hooves: Say in front of me that a mule has strong feet? This is a provocation! It was eager to spread its hooves and run on the spot, so that the madman could know what "foot power" was.
Although the ink spirit is a mule, it has the heart of a thousand miles, and it is not to be outdone, and runs fast with its hooves spread. It's a pity that the gap between it and the wing flip feather is too big in size, people take two steps, it has to take three steps, and finally it is left behind.
When the knight saw that the victory was in hand, she slowed down her horse's pace and said, "As far as the mule is concerned, it is indeed not slow. My name is Yu Nianyao, what's your name? ”
Xu Xiaole smiled, this young lady wants to pretend to be a man, but she doesn't even change her name, it's really funny. He said, "My name is Xu Xiaole." ”
Yu Nianyao's face was slightly sluggish, and she said, "You are Xu Xiaole, the medical officer of Datong?" ”
Xu Xiaole was both surprised and delighted: "What? Has my sister heard of my name? He didn't expect that his reputation would grow to the point where "no one in the world knows you". Along the way, I met two caravans, and it was a surprise that the first traveler he encountered could tell his origin.
Yu Nianyao said: "Of course, I came from the east, and there are portraits of you hanging in all the lively places along the way, well, take a closer look, it is really a bit similar between your eyebrows and eyes." ”
Xu Xiaole's cheeks were sour: "What did I do, arrest me with such fanfare." ”
Yu Nianyao said: "You ask me? Her eyes rolled: "Speaking of which, I want to ask you what you have done, the reward is higher than those strongmen who rob houses!" Not to mention anything else, the 'fierce monk' who robbed the road in front of him, the government registered five thousand pipes, you are a hundred times higher than him! ”
"500,000 guan!" Xu Xiaole was taken aback: "If I can fold it into silver taels, I will sell myself!" ”
