About another tea time passed, and a small group of about thirty cavalry men walked in from the entrance of the village. The villagers gathered on both sides were evacuated, and the riot was calmed down.

Huo Quzhi and the soldiers next to him were wounded, and the girl who saw them asked them if they needed medical workers to express their gratitude.

The wounds on their bodies are deep and shallow, but they are not good if they are not treated in time.

Huo Quai's team was a rapid march, and there was no military doctor among the 800 people, so he naturally accepted it.

He asked the later cavalry to fetch water from the tea stall and transport it back, while he took the soldiers, Gu Nan, and the doctor to the infirmary together.

It is said to be a medical hall, but in fact it is just a stone house, which should only be the home of the visiting girl. Along the way, Gu Nan asked the girl's name, and she said that her name was Duanmuqing.

As for speaking, she has been like this since she was a child, a stammer.

Her personality is a little more serious, and she always gives people a feeling of being a little confused, and it may be because of her speech, and her temperament is relatively slow, but she is very attentive when she does things.

Just like at this time, she was sitting at the back of the yard pounding medicine, rolling up her sleeves, beating the medicine mallet with her white arms, and wiping a handful of fine sweat on her forehead from time to time.

Gu Nan leaned against the door with Wuge in his arms, and didn't pay much attention to Huo Qubing and the soldiers next to him.

Huo Quzhi secretly looked at Gu Nan from time to time, he couldn't understand how such a young woman could practice swordsmanship so well.

The room was silent for a moment, with no sound except for the soft sound of the mallet striking the medicine spoon.

I don't know how long it should have been, Huo Quzhi was the first to speak, bowed to Gu Nan and said, "In Xia Huo Quai, thank you girl for today's matter, take a righteous action." ”

Gu Nan's eyes moved slightly, looked at Huo Quzhi who was standing there, and said lightly: "Don't call me girl, I'm much older than you." ”

"This, like this." Huo Quzhi glanced at Gu Nan helplessly, the character of the girl in front of him was really a little weird.

"Then, I'll call you a senior next." Huo Quzhi smiled and said with a smile, he had no intention of dealing with a girl, not to mention that Gu Nan's swordsmanship was no problem for him to be a senior.

"However, senior, why don't you just kill those horse thieves, otherwise wouldn't it be a trouble?"

Speaking of business, Huo Quai's face became much more serious.

"Killed?" Gu Nan's eyes fell on the Wuge in his arms, and the sword body of the black sword was cold, even if he was held in her arms.

She didn't know what she wanted to go, and then shook her head: "I haven't killed people for a long time." ”

Huo Quzhi looked at the woman leaning against the door, but for some reason, he saw some tiredness and old feeling from her.

It was as if the person in front of him was really an old man, but this feeling was fleeting, and he recognized it as an illusion.

He hadn't mentioned it, he had already had a cavalry chasing after the bloodstains.

Killing decisively, this is what his uncle taught him, for the general, it has nothing to do with the word benevolence.

If this horse thief is not removed, if their injuries are healed, they may still come back to seek revenge.

Next time, it may not be the current situation, so the people in this village will still be killed.

But in fact, the injuries cut by Gu Nan have made them unable to hold the knife for the rest of their lives, and they can't even do heavy work. Judging from the party of horse thieves, they are already considered useless.

"I don't know what to call Mr.?" Huo Quzhi asked again.

"Gu Nan." The other party replied simply.

"Who is it?"

Gu Nan turned his head and looked at Huo Quai, who realized that he had asked too much.

was about to apologize, but the other party said.

"I don't remember."

I don't remember, Huo Quzhi paused and nodded again.

Duanmuqing pounded the medicine and brought it up, a total of two copies, one handed to Huo Quai, and one handed to the soldiers. Huo Qubing and the soldiers had a lot of injuries, and she was not suitable to help.

whispered: "You, you take the medicine." ”

As he spoke, he pointed at himself and Gu Nan: "Let's go out first." ”

Gu Nan also knew that he was not suitable to stay, so he reluctantly walked out with Duanmu Qing.

In the small courtyard there was a wooden shelf, on which were placed many baskets made of dead branches, and all kinds of herbs were placed in those baskets and placed in the courtyard to dry.

Duanmu Qing's each of them was a little short, and they couldn't reach the top of the wooden frame, so they put a stone under their feet and picked up the top herb on the wooden frame and said.

"You, if you want to study medicine, you have to learn to pick medicine first."

As he spoke, he took out a dried herb from the basket and handed it to Gu Nan.

"This, and, more, and this."

As he spoke, he took another one, turned around and held it one by one.

"These two, pick, pick out some mashed, to use."

I have to say that she entered the role really fast, and she has already begun to teach Gu Nan.

"No problem." Gu Nan took the two herbs and found them in the baskets everywhere.

The herbs had already been simply sorted when they were dried, and she picked them up easily, and soon picked out two small piles, and sat on the side with a mallet and pounded them.

She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Qing's medical skills are family heirlooms?" ”

"Uh-huh." Duanmu Qing stood on tiptoe, sorting herbs in the basket.

"Already, yes, it's been rumored for a long time."

"Mr. Naharu's home was here a long time ago?" Gu Nan was a little surprised, if he had lived here for generations, Duanmuqing's Chinese dialect would be too clear.

Moreover, Duanmu is not like a surname outside the gates.

"No, no." Duanmu Qing walked down from the stone, grabbed a handful of herbs in his hand and put it in another basket: "I came by myself." ”

Gu Nan asked suspiciously, "Why did you come to Guanwai?" ”

As he spoke, he smiled and touched his chin, and when he touched it, he remembered that he didn't have a beard.

"The old man wouldn't have come to this kind of place if he didn't have nowhere to go."

Duanmuqing's body paused, looked at Gu Nan, stretched out a finger, and said seriously: "It's a girl, not an old man." ”

Gu Nan glanced at Duanmuqing's hand and coughed, "I, I know." ”

"Outside the gate, there are many herbs that are not available in the gate." Duanmuqing explained, picked up a herb, picked a piece and put it into his mouth.

Nodding his head clearly, Gu Nan looked at the wall next to the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard full of medicinal herbs, there was a strange sword hanging on the wall.

A bronze sword, which looks very old, has a little rust on it, but it is not badly maintained, so it does not affect its appearance.

Looking at the bronze sword, Gu Nan's brows furrowed, this sword, she seemed to be a little familiar.
