After getting Zigan and Ziya, the next step is naturally to find the doctor with superb medical skills.

As for the matter of finding a doctor, when Huang Xue learned the identity of the doctor from Nuwa, she behaved extremely strangely.

Obviously, the doctor lived forty miles outside Chaoge City, and Huang Xue had enough reason to go and ask for it in person, but she only told Ziya the address, and then asked him to look for it for herself.

To tell the truth, with Huang Xue and Zigan's power in Dashang, no matter what doctor should be called, but she didn't send anyone else, and only sent Ziya alone, but it really seemed a little intriguing.

Ziya was also a little confused about Huang Xue's request, but there was no need to refuse such a trivial matter, so he had to agree.

Early the next morning, Ziya went out of the north gate of Chaoge and rode his horse to the north.

Forty miles north of Chaoge City, there is a Jedi called the Dead Man's Ditch, which comes between two hills, and this is the destination of Ziya.

It stands to reason that such a place with such an obscure name should be tattered and inaccessible, but in fact, when Ziya arrived at the dead man's ditch, he was really taken aback.

How to describe it? It should be said that it is gorgeous and lively.

In a clearing between two hills, there is a palatial mansion. This mansion occupies a very wide area, at first glance it is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and the big house in the middle is carved and painted with beams, which is beautiful, and it is not inferior to the mansion of the rich merchants in Chaoge City.

And outside the door of this mansion, there were twenty or thirty people gathered there in groups of three or five. Next to each group of people, there is a board car, or a wooden sedan chair, on which some lie a dying patient, and some are empty, and in the wooden sedan chair, I think the same is true.

A doctor can make so many people come from far to seek medical treatment, and this doctor's means must be extraordinary.

Ziya's heart was at ease, turned over and dismounted, and came to the door of the mansion.

Those who were waiting at the door, seeing that Ziya had come alone, looked up and down curiously, and then showed a gloating look.

An old man over sixty years old next to him saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, and he couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and said, "Man, are you here alone?"

Ziya was stunned for a moment, and said politely: "Exactly, I don't know why the old man asked?"

The old man looked at Ziya again and asked, "Are you a patient?"

Ziya shook his head and said, "There is no disease in the bottom." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Go back, since you are not sick, what are you doing here?"

Ziyaqi said: "Someone in the next family is sick, so I came to ask the doctor to go to see a doctor." ”

The old man sighed and said, "How can the doctor go out to see a doctor?" Don't you know the rules of this dead man's ditch?"

Ziya heard what the old man said strangely, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what the rules of this dead man's ditch are? ”

The old man said: "Well, I see that you are also a foreigner, and I don't know where I heard about this place, but I don't know the rules at all, and it is just a waste of time, so I will tell you about this rule." ”

After speaking, the old man had slowly introduced the doctor in the dead man's ditch to Ziya.

Speaking of which, in this big mansion in the Dead Man's Ditch, there lives a family of apricot groves, which has lived here for more than 200 years, and has now been passed down to the fourth generation. Because this doctor is extremely skilled in medicine, he has long been famous.

However, although many people know it, most of them are reluctant to see this doctor, and the reason is precisely because of this doctor's strange temper and the rules he set for this dead man's ditch.

First, if you want to see a doctor, you can only send patients here, and never go to the clinic.

Second, only treat those who are seriously ill and dying, but if the disease can be seen elsewhere, or if they are not seriously ill enough, the dead man's ditch will not be accepted.

Thirdly, when seeking medical treatment, you need to send the consultation fee and the patient into the mansion together, and then wait outside by yourself. If it is saved, of course, the consultation fee will be left, and the family will take the patient away. If it cannot be saved, the consultation fee will be returned, and the body will be left behind, and if you want to bring the corpse back, you will need to pay ten times the consultation fee.

Speaking of which, these three rules, except for the first one, are relatively normal, but the other two are really weird everywhere.

Just looking at this second article fully illustrates how conceited the doctor is.

Only save the seriously ill and dying, and nothing else, that means that my medical skills are higher than others, and what you send to me can only be saved elsewhere, but if others can save it, please ask for another wisdom.

As for the third one, it is even more bizarre.

Those who are dying, but those who cannot be saved, need to leave behind the corpses. What does this doctor do with so many dead people's corpses?

The consultation fee is not low, and ten times the consultation fee is far from what ordinary people can afford, so most families must have left corpses and left helplessly.

No matter what era, the Chinese actually attach great importance to the remains of the deceased, and such a rule is really a bit impersonal. It's not really no choice, who would accept such a condition?

Ziya was puzzled, so he asked the old man what the chance of saving the dead man was if he sent the dead into the mansion.

The old man blinked, slowly stretched out two fingers, and then spit out two words: "Two percent." ”

Ziya was even more taken aback when he heard this, five people went in, but only one of them was able to come out alive, it seems that this proportion is not high, but don't forget, those who are sent in are all people who are so sick that they only have one breath left, such a cure rate is really a bit frighteningly high.

Speaking of which, this place was not originally called the Dead Man's Ditch, but it was precisely because of the doctor's strange rules that it slowly became a place to send people to the dying, which gave birth to such an unfortunate name.

At the same time, this name also represents the people's view of this place, although you can see people in life, you can't see corpses in death, and I don't know how many people are buried here, so it has become synonymous with bad luck. For example, one of the most famous curses in a nearby village is "Send you into a dead man's ditch."

Secretly horrified in his heart, Ziya soon had another question, this mansion, it seems that no one is guarding it, if the family members of the people who can't save the living are unwilling to give money or leave the body of the deceased, but are coercive, what should they do?

When the old man heard this question, he showed a hint of an intriguing smile and said, "A hundred years ago, there may have been such a person, but now there is no such person. If you don't follow the rules in the ditch of the dead, then you really can't see anyone alive, and you can't see a corpse when you die. ”

Ziya was surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at the mansion again, it seems that the doctor in this mansion is not only skilled in medicine, but also has some other hidden skills.

Seeing that the old man turned to leave, Ziya was secretly thinking about his words, but suddenly he heard a sound from the gate of the house, and then with a creak, the gate was opened.
