Chuantao slept very soundly last night, and when he woke up in the morning, Wu Lao was already dressed neatly, so he hurriedly dressed and washed, and did not find a place to exercise in the morning.

"Master, are you going to continue your journey today?" Chuantao asked the master about today's arrangement.

"No, let's take a good walk around this place today, you can also take a look at the people and things in the city, and you can adapt to it by walking the rivers and lakes in the future." Wu Lao smiled and said his thoughts to Chuantao.

Chuantao went downstairs with Wu Lao and explained to the little two downstairs: "We are still living here today, the luggage is in the room, the room is kept, the livestock are taken care of, let's go out for a walk." ”

In the morning, the city is full of vendors selling vegetables and fruits. Along the wide street, Wu Lao walked around with Chuantao, looking east and west, but there was no purpose. In a steamed bun shop that seemed to be doing well, after sitting down and eating a lot of meat buns, I continued to wander around.

Walking and walking, I came to a very tall house with a blue brick courtyard wall, the gate of two or three people high was closed, and in the brick wall above the door eyebrow, there was an old plaque embedded with two big characters: "County Ya". There is a sign hanging next to the gate, which reads: "Jiufeng County Government of Huzhou Prefecture". On the wall next to the gate, there was a notice written on white paper, and many people gathered in front of the notice.

Chuantao also approached the crowd to take a look, only to see that the notice read: Hire a doctor who can cure the patient of Longpan sores with a large amount of money, register with the doorman to enter, and reward 500 yuan after being cured.

Chuantao saw a middle-aged man in a long robe standing next to him, and wanted to ask: "Dare to ask this gentleman, do you know who the patient is?" ”

The middle-aged man was very modest and smiled at Chuantao: "The only person who can be treated here is the county magistrate." It is said that his third aunt was too sick with that strange disease, and countless medical officers could not cure it, so she posted this notice and recruited people from the rivers and lakes. ”

"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Chuantao hugged his fists, turned to Wu Lao, who was standing outside, and said: "Master, I heard that the county magistrate's aunt and wife have Longpan sore, and ask someone to treat the disease, and you can get a reward of 500 oceans if you are cured." ”

Wu Lao smiled slightly: "Do you dare to treat it?" ”

Chuan Tao replied with great interest: "What is there to dare to do?" Didn't you teach me? There is also a ready-made powder in the bag, which is good for three to five days. ”

"Okay, you go and heal, and I'll give you courage."

Chuantao knocked on the door, and it was opened by a young man in uniform with a spear in his hand. The young man said, "Government land, please register first." ”

Chuantao was a little nervous when he saw the one with the gun. Still hurriedly said: "We came to treat the disease as the notice said." ”

The young man looked at Chuantao seriously, then looked at Wu Lao who was standing behind Chuantao, and said, "The doctor who treats the disease is right, then you have to register before you can go in." ”

Chuantao had to go to the small room with Wu Lao, reported his hometown address and name, and the young man wrote them down in a book one by one, and didn't say anything more, stood up and walked to the depths of the courtyard with Chuantao and Wu Lao.

The yard was quiet, and there were no people walking in sight, so Chuan Tao followed the janitor all the way around the lawn and trees, zigzags all the way to the backyard. A row of houses with carved beams and painted pillars painted red. After walking to the door, the young man shouted, "Report ~~~".

At the opening of the door, an old man wearing a brand-new robe with a big back combed opened the door, and the young man said to the old man: "There are two doctors from this county who have come to see my aunt's wife. ”

The old man looked at Chuan Tao and Wu Lao and said, "Please come in." After Chuantao and Wu Lao entered the door, the old man closed the door and said, "Come with me." With that, lead the way in front.

Passing through two doors, a pungent smell of perfume fills the air, and a young woman in a red satin cheongsam sits on a long carved wooden chair with her brows furrowed. The old man stepped forward, bent down and said to the woman, "The last two are here to treat you." The woman looked up at Chuantao, then at Wu Lao, and asked, "Which one will treat me?" ”

Chuantao said: "Xiaosheng will see a doctor for you. ”

The woman said, "Come here." ”

Chuantao cautiously approached the woman and said, "Please eldest sister open the affected area, I want to check the condition first." ”

The woman was not pretentious, unbuttoned the cheongsam, and turned up the underwear, revealing her waist.

Chuantao saw that on the white and tender psoas muscles, a circle of blisters were shining, from right to left, there were only a few red spots, which seemed to be spreading. With his hand, he led the woman to turn her body slightly, and there were still a few inches of skin on her back for the time being.

Then he said: "For the time being, it can be treated, but when I wait for another three or five days, and when the back is full, I can't cure this disease." ”

The woman said, "I have called many doctors, and they have all made some ointment and rubbed it, but when it doesn't work, they don't come anymore." It's been a week, and it hurts me to death. ”

Chuan Tao said: "I have seen that your disease can be cured, and the effect can be seen in three to five days." If you agree to the treatment, I start the medication. ”

The woman looked at Chuantao and said, "I hope it can be cured, the one in the back is your grandfather?" ”

Chuan Tao said: "That's my master. ”

The woman wondered, "Why wasn't your master curing the disease?" ”

Chuantao said: "I don't need the master to help, I can just treat this little disease." ”

The woman didn't speak again.

Chuan Tao took out three bottles from his arms, poured out some medicinal powder respectively, asked the old man who led the way for a clean water cup, put the medicinal powder into the cup, and took out a bottle full of yellow liquid from his arms, poured a lot into the cup, and then used a chopstick to stir in the cup.

The old man who led the way and Wu Lao both sat on chairs, watching Chuantao busy and not speaking.

After a while, the ointment was formed.

Chuantao took the ointment and gently applied it to the woman's wound with a cotton ball.

All coated, Chuantao asked the old man for a piece of gauze, wrapped it around the woman's waist a few times, and then tied a slippery button.

Chuantao put down the cup, and the ointment in it was basically exhausted.

"Well, after an hour, it will feel cool, and that is the effect of the drug. After tonight, it will still be slightly itchy, so please do not touch it with your hands. Chuantao said to the woman.

"Tomorrow at the same time, we will change the dressing again, and if we change the dressing three times, we will see that the thick bubbles disappear, the erythema will subside, and the pain will no longer be unbearable." After Chuantao finished speaking, he sat down on a chair next to him.

The old man who had just brought people in, seeing that he had finished treatment, spoke before he spoke: "I am the housekeeper of this inner courtyard, surnamed Chen. Since the two of them can cure the lady's illness, please stay in the house for two more days, and when the illness is cured, the master will reward the two gentlemen. ”

When Elder Wu saw Steward Chen say this, he opened his mouth and said, "Our master and apprentice passed by here, settled in the Chengdong Inn, and came in to treat the disease when they encountered a notice. We also have luggage and livestock stored at the Chengdong Inn, which is not very convenient to live in. ”

"It doesn't matter. I arranged for someone to move the luggage and belongings of the two of them here, and the two of them lived in the place I arranged. "Steward Chen must pass on Tao's master and apprentice to stay.

"In that case, then our master and apprentice will bother for two days." Wu Lao knew that Steward Chen was afraid that they would never return, and insisted on staying in this place to rest assured, so he agreed to this arrangement.

Steward Chen stood up, "Please come with me." After saying that, he led the way to the place where he lived.

This was another courtyard, and Master and Chuan Tao were taken to a very spacious room.

It's a suite. Inside, there is a large bed, a wardrobe, a large bulky mahogany chair, a carved coffee table, cups, and a dressing table with a round mirror. The outside room, with a small bed, also has a wardrobe and chairs, cups, and a small square table.

This kind of place is naturally much better than an inn.

Steward Chen said to Wu Lao and Chuantao: "I'll arrange lunch for the two of you, and then arrange for someone to take their luggage from the inn." Let's stay here in peace. With that, he went out.

Chuantao looked at Wu Lao, Wu Lao smiled and said, "It seems that we can't go to the street anymore, we can only sleep and eat here, and we can go out and walk freely when we are sick." ”

Chuantao felt depressed, this is really not fun to deal with the official family, and it is really boring to treat a disease and leave the doctor as a hostage.

Soon, I heard someone outside the door, and a person broke in with the jacket that Chuan Tao had placed in the guest room.

"This is the luggage that the two of you put in the Chengdong Inn, I have already brought it, please count if there is a shortage of things. In addition, Steward Chen has already paid today's house fee and livestock maintenance fee for the two of them, and the mules are tied in the yard, and someone is waiting for them, so there is no need to worry about it. ”

Chuantao looked at the hitch, reached in and touched the things inside, and felt that no one had touched it, so he said: "Thank you for this big brother helping us with our luggage, there is no shortage of things, I will go with the big brother to see the mule." ”

Walking to the yard, the mules were tied under a big tree, even if it rained, they could not be drenched, and a wooden trough was placed for feed, and the trough was already filled with forage, which was very thorough.

"It's hard work, big brother, things are done very thoughtfully, and I am very satisfied."

"If you're satisfied, I'll go." After saying that, he walked out of the yard.

After a while, an old man in a white apron brought a large plate of various meals, and another girl wearing a blue cloth waist brought a plate of wine jugs and wine utensils into the room.

The two of them put the dishes on the small square table in the outer room, and the wine and wine utensils were also arranged in two directions, and each added a bowl of rice and put it on the table.

The old man turned to Chuantao and said, "Use it slowly." I'll clean up the dishes later. ”

After saying that, he took the empty wooden plate and left.

The master and apprentice sat on one side and ate and drank.
