Early in the morning, Zhangjia Village, on the kang head of Zhang Fajia's house. A ray of morning sun shone into the house through the paper window, and Zhu Qing was awakened by this morning sun.

"Benefactor, you're finally awake." At this time, Zhang Fa's mother was cleaning another kangtou, which was where the body of the old escort officer lay last night, and there was only one futon left. However, there are three more incense sticks and a few spiritual runes at the head of the bed.

Zhu Qing felt a little dizzy, he struggled to sit up, the wound was faintly painful, but compared to last night, it was much better. Zhu Qing looked at everything in the room and asked suspiciously, "Auntie, is this ...... Where am I? What are you doing here? Why do you call me a benefactor? ”

Zhu Qing remembered that he came to a village before he fell, but he never knew what happened later.

"Benefactor, you saved my family, of course you are our benefactor, Zhang Fa went out in the early morning, hey, this kind of thing can't wait for dawn to do it." Zhang Fa's mother also burned those spirit runes.

Zhu Qing suddenly remembered the matter of the escort officer, "Auntie, then, the injured person?" ”

"Dead. No, Zhang Fa and the adults in the village sent it back, and he was lying on the same bed last night. Uncle Nine said that if he was one step faster, he might be saved, hey, he brought it with his life. Lao Xing, you go all the way, don't blame our Zhang Fa. The aunt said, and lit three more sticks of incense.

Zhu Qing finally guessed one or two, he nodded, and got off the kang with a little loss.

approached the kang where Lao Xing was lying, Lao Xing was trying to save him.

"Auntie? Who are you talking about Uncle Nine? Zhu Qing listened to Aunt Fangcai's words, but felt that this ninth uncle was not an ordinary person, yesterday Zhu Qing felt that Lao Xing was not saved, and then drove a night away to Zhangjia Village, but the ninth uncle said that it was only one step away, isn't it? Zhu Qing fell into thought.

"Oh, the old doctor next door, he treated your wounds."

"Oh." Zhu Qing nodded thoughtfully, walked to the door, opened the door gently, and the sun suddenly shone all over Zhu Qing's body.

"Benefactor, my family said that after you wake up, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, if you don't want to go, then wait for him to come back." Auntie commanded.

Zhu Qingtou nodded without looking back. Walk out of the Zhang family compound. Just around the corner, I saw an open courtyard, this courtyard was slightly different from other courtyards, the courtyard was full of shelves and sieves and other things, on which were placed all kinds of herbs, Zhu Qing was attracted by the smell of medicine.

The courtyard was open, and there were no plaques or homes. Zhu Qing walked in softly. Immediately attracted by these many flavored medicines, he admired them one by one along the shelf, sniffed close from time to time, and showed surprise on his face from time to time, as if this was his own yard and his own medicinal herbs.

"Are you awake?" At this moment, an old man came out of the house, holding a large sieve in his hand, and the sieve was scattered with medicinal herbs. This person is none other than Uncle Nine.

"You're Uncle Nine, right?" When Zhu Qing saw the old man, he hurriedly made a move.

Zhu Qing actually guessed himself, which made the old man a little surprised, but he then smiled slightly and did not reply.

Seeing that Uncle Nine did not respond, Zhu Qing continued to salute, "Thank you Uncle Nine for saving your life." I didn't expect there to be a miracle doctor like you in Zhangjiacun. ”

"Young man, I didn't expect to be young and quite good at talking. Don't thank me, you made it yourself. Uncle Nine walked up to Zhu Qing and said while drying herbs.

"However, the injuries that I can't cure myself have been healed by you, I don't thank you for thanking anyone, I think you are a miracle doctor." Although Zhu Qing's words sound like flattery, they are sincere, and it is a matter of saving lives, is it child's play?

"The old man knows that your medical skills are good, but you haven't encountered these home remedies." Uncle Nine saw that Zhu Qing was sincerely grateful, and seeing that he was so fascinated by medical skills, the two sat down and chatted.

It turned out that Uncle Nine was not from Zhangjia Village, but a medical officer with the army of a general of the Zhu family, and he didn't want the general to be framed a few years ago, and he was beheaded all over the house. Although Uncle Nine has just arrived in Zhangjia Village, Zhangjiacun has already regarded Uncle Nine as his own, which is largely due to Uncle Jiu's medical skills and medical ethics.

When Zhu Qing asked if it was the Zhu family extermination case back then?

Uncle Nine didn't speak, he suddenly said, "This Zhangjia Village was originally called" Yongjing Village ", when the King of Yan was here to lie down and taste the gall, the East Mountain made a comeback, and then set Beijing, and then Yan Wang Gui was the ancestor, originally wanted to build a palace here, and later because some people in the court said that the feng shui of this place has changed, it happened that year "Yongjing Village" did have a plague, it seems that in response to the man's feng shui saying, Chengzu had to abandon "Yongjing Village", after that, Cheng Zu, "Yongjing Village" was abolished, only some villagers surnamed Zhang remained, so the name was changed"Zhangjia Village". When the general was killed, he told us, 'If you go to Zhangjia Village, you will never be allowed to enter Beijing.' I'm just here. Oh, for several years, the capital has risen and fallen several times, and Zhangjia Village, as in the past, is invincible, which shows that the feng shui here is still there, and it is not disturbed by the outside world. ”

After Uncle Nine finished speaking, he stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

"I see, no wonder the people here are simple, although they have entered the WTO, they are not burdened by the world, which is really rare." After hearing this, Zhu Qing also praised it from the bottom of his heart. I didn't expect that there was such a quiet place near the capital.

"By the way, your injuries are healed. Why don't you leave yet? Uncle Nine suddenly asked.

"I won't tell you the truth, I was originally a prisoner, but I met bandits on the way to dispatch the Liaodong Chong Army yesterday and delayed my trip......" Zhu Qing didn't finish speaking, and Uncle Jiu interjected, "But you saved the escort officer Zhang Fa, and you can leave completely, no one will know." ”

"Although I, Zhu Qing, am not a hero, but I don't want to be the shrunken turtle, if I take the opportunity to escape, why should I follow Zhang Fa to Zhangjia Village again? I'm waiting for Zhang Fa to come back and take me to the border. Zhu Qing said seriously.

"It's worthy of my Ming Dynasty's brocade guard!" Uncle Jiu's words can be described as earth-shattering thunder, and the dignified brocade-clothed Wei Qinglong was recognized by someone like this, which is difficult to accept and tolerate. Zhu Qing was even more vigilant about the ninth uncle in front of him.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Zhu Qing had already learned to disguise, and he laughed, "Uncle Nine is really good at laughing." I'm just a prisoner, what kind of brocade guard? ”

Unexpectedly, Uncle Nine also laughed, "Not to mention that Zhang Fa will say that he will leak his mouth, just when I saw the Qinglong tattoo on your chest when I healed you, I knew that you were Jinyiwei, and you were the Jinyiwei Qinglong, the head of the four saints in the capital!" ”

Zhu Qing knew that he couldn't hide the old man in front of him, he smiled slightly, "Since you know my identity, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" ”

"The old man is old, and it is not a pity to die, not to mention that the old man believes in his own eyes, Qinglong is not that kind of person. It's just that there is something unclear about the old decay. After Uncle Nine laughed, he wondered.

"What?"

"The tattoo on your shoulder is blurry, much like some kind of sign I've seen before, but not quite like it. I won't tell you the truth, the general entrusted us with something before he died, and it has something to do with that sign......" Without waiting for Uncle Nine to finish speaking, Zhu Qing shook his head, "I haven't seen your general, and I haven't tattooed any signs, the tattoo you saw was just tattooed by my biological mother, not only Uncle Nine has experienced war, we have also experienced war, you should know the meaning of tattoos." ”

"The old man naturally knows that I saw with my own eyes the flesh and blood on the faces of the soldiers who died in the war, and when the family claimed the corpse, they could only identify it by the tattoos on their bodies, hey, war is cruel......" Uncle Nine seemed to remember his former military career.

The two were silent in the courtyard for a long time, and then they each got up to dry the medicinal herbs.

"Brother Qinglong!" It was almost noon, Zhang Fa came back, and he went to Uncle Jiu's courtyard to find Zhu Qing.

"Escort Officer!" Zhu Qing did not forget his identity as a criminal.

"Brother Qinglong, don't bother the little ones, if it weren't for you, I would have gone with Lao Xing a long time ago." Zhang Fa hurriedly came over to help Zhu Qing.

"How is Lao Xing's affairs arranged?" Zhu Qing asked.

"It's done, hey, the government has given me a little pension, and I've already given it to my sister-in-law, and we'll come back after burying Brother Xing." Zhang Fa replied.

"Where are you buried?" Zhu Qing asked.

"His hometown is Erli Village, and it takes half a day to walk."

"When I have time, I will go to the grave of Brother Xing to put incense on the pillar and kowtow." Zhu Qing said firmly.

"You can go now, the prince and Lord Ghost Fire said that you can leave at any time, and this matter will not be investigated." Zhang Fa excitedly announced the incident.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing was not excited at all, but frowned, he turned to Uncle Nine and hugged his fist, "Uncle Nine, it seems that Qinglong is leaving here." Thank you for your kindness, we'll have a meeting later. ”

"Yes, Uncle Jiu, I also thank you for healing Brother Qinglong's injury. Come to my house later, my dad said thank you yet. Zhang Fa had apparently prepared the meal.

"I'm afraid it won't work, Escort Officer Zhang, you have to come with me." Zhu Qing said.

"Where are you going?"

"Border Pass." Zhu Qing said, glanced at Uncle Jiu, who smiled slightly and nodded.

Only Zhang Fa was at a loss on the side.

"If you really want to thank your benefactor, send him on his way." Uncle Nine said to Zhang Fa.

"No, it's a bet!" Zhu Qing said, stretching out his hands.

Although Zhang Fa still couldn't figure out what was going on, no one dared not listen to what Uncle Nine said, so Zhang Fa turned home, quickly packed two bags of dry food and two pots of wine, and before going out, he looked at the shackles and chains hanging on the wall, sighed, and took them off.
