Chapter 9: The Ghost of the Mountain Temple
It is said that the village here is located on the official road, plus the front 20 miles and the back 30 miles, there are no big villages, so most of the pedestrians and merchants stay here, so there are also taverns and inns here.
Feng Manlou and his party arranged a place to stay, and Sun Hu said: "My lord, the villain will go home first and inform his brothers, and he will come to follow the adults tomorrow morning!" β
Feng Manlou let him go, there was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Feng Manlou got up and was about to wash, but this inn didn't even prepare salt for brushing his teeth, which was very inconvenient. I had to wash my face with the towel I brought with me, and I washed my mouth with clean water. After a while, I saw a disturbance outside.
Feng Manlou went out to take a look, only to see that Sun Hu had arrived, and he also brought a big man, nearly seven feet tall. I secretly screamed in my heart: "What a big man!" β
Sun Hu hurriedly greeted Feng Manlou and said, "My lord, this is my brother!" When I went home last night, I gave a detailed description of the adult's life-saving incident and told the adult's identity. My brother Wang Ying is also willing to follow the adults and get a job! β
Feng Manlou smiled: "That's very good! Since the two heroes are willing to follow the county, go to the county office, and hand over the official documents, it is very good to let the two of them catch quickly, and the two heroes do not have to be a villain, just be commensurate with their subordinates. I hope the two heroes don't dislike it! β
The two hurriedly bowed: "In that case, thank you to your subordinates!" β
That Wang Ying bowed again and said: "My lord saved my brother, he is my Wang Ying's father-in-law, from now on, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, let me be sent!" β
Feng Manlou hurriedly supported the two of them, and only said: "Where do you dare to be!" β
At this time, everyone also finished washing, and the group left this place and headed for Yuhang County. Yuhang County is now a county of Hangzhou Prefecture, which is only half a day away from Hangzhou Prefecture. In addition, the waterways and land routes are very smooth, and the transportation is developed, so Yuhang County is also a county with a large population.
Yuhang County's economy and commerce are also prosperous. During the pre-Wu Yue period, because Qian Jiao, the king of Wu Yue, attached great importance to commercial development, and had trade with overseas countries such as Yueben and North Korea, Hangzhou's foreign trade was also very frequent. In addition, Wu Yue has always been a vassal to the Central Plains court, and later directly surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and Wu Yue was incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty. In the entire land of Wuyue, there has been no war, so the environment is also very stable.
The closer the group got to the boundary of Yuhang, they saw that the villages gradually increased, and the number of pedestrians also increased, and there was an endless stream of businessmen. Feng Manlou sighed: "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below!" This is true! From the prosperity of the population here, you can see the wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou! β
Xiaoyun interjected: "Young master, there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou in one sentence, which shows the prosperity of Yuhang, the young master is really knowledgeable and talented!" β
Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses, although it has this meaning now, but there is no such straightforward sentence, and this sentence has officially become a common saying, and it has to wait until Fan Cheng capitalized more than a hundred years later.
Thinking that he had inadvertently stolen other people's knowledge, he couldn't help blushing in his heart and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" In Suzhou and Hangzhou, Mr. Bai Juyi has praised countless times as early as the Tang Dynasty, and I am just borrowing! β
And when Yang Hongcai heard this, her eyes also showed a hint of brilliance, among these people, there is no one who can compare to her, she has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child! If it weren't for my daughter's body, I really wanted to try the imperial examination!
Thinking of this, I like this Fengmanlou even more.
After a day's journey, I inquired all the way and learned that Yuhang County was less than half a mile away, but now it was getting late. Sun Hu said: "My lord, there is an abandoned mountain temple in front, why don't we stay in the mountain temple for one night tonight?" β
Feng Manlou is not a hypocritical person, and said: "I don't care! It's just that the two little ladies are suffering! As he spoke, he set his eyes on Yang Hongcai's master and servant.
Yang Hongcai said: "Seeing that it is getting late, I don't know if I have found the inn in front of me, so it is better to settle here!" There are so many of us, but we are not afraid of mountain bandits! β
After a day of contact, Sun Hu Wang Ying also knew that this Miss Yang was his adult's fiancΓ©e. Hearing Yang Hongcai say this, Wang Ying hurriedly said: "Madame, don't worry, there are subordinates here, and you will never let thieves hurt Madame in the slightest!" β
When Yang Hongcai heard Wang Ying call her wife, she was happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, there is Brother Lao Wang!" β
Xiao Tao whispered in Yang Hongcai's ear and laughed: "Miss is now more and more fond of her future uncle." Looking at your beauty, Xiao Tao really can't figure out why she deliberately made things difficult in the first place. If it weren't for my uncle's talent, I'm afraid the young lady would have been out of luck. β
Yang Hongcai pinched Xiao Tao and said, "Call you to talk more!" β
The group entered the mountain temple, and the sky had completely darkened. Sun Hu Wang Ying lit the torch in front and took the lead in walking in.
The torch light does not have a large range, so everyone is very close. Suddenly, Xiao Tao's eyes were sharp, and she was so frightened that she hugged Yang Hongcai and shouted loudly: "There are ghosts!" β
Sun Hu hurriedly asked, "Where are the ghosts?" Don't be afraid, little lady, with my two brothers, even if they are ghosts, they will take a detour! β
Feng Manlou didn't believe that there were really ghosts in this world, so he stepped forward and followed Sun Hu Wang Ying in, and Sun Hu Wang Ying hurriedly protected Feng Manlou.
"Don't worry, where are the ghosts and gods in the world!" Feng Manlou said.
Xiao Tao said scaredly: "Uncle, there is really a ghost, it's there!" β
Feng Manlou smiled: "It's your little peach with sharp eyes!" Wang Ying, go over and take a look! β
Wang Ying lit the torch, looked in the direction of Xiao Tao's finger, and said, "My lord, it's a human!" The illness is not light! β
Feng Manlou hurriedly passed, but found a strong man, who was also white-faced and beardless, about thirty years old. Dressed in black and black, he was lying on his back on the ground.
Feng Manlou said: "Let's see if it's dead or alive!" β
Wang Ying probed, felt his pulse, and said, "My lord, there is still gas!" β
Sun Hu shouted: "Of course my lord is angry! Ask you whether this person is dead or alive? β
Wang Ying said: "Didn't you say it, there is still gas!" β
"Sun Hu, take everyone to find some firewood and raise the fire! It's dark in the middle of the night, so I'm afraid that there will be fierce beasts, so I can rest assured if I have torches. After Feng Manlou finished speaking, he squatted down to check.
This person is now unconscious, touched his forehead, it is very hot! It seems to be a cold and fever. I also had a cold in my previous life, if it is not serious, I will be fine in a day or two, I don't need to take injections and medicine at all, if it is serious, just take antipyretics. Of course, you need to have good physical fitness!
This person is obviously in good physical condition, otherwise he might have died. Feng Manlou said: "It must be from the wind cold." Now that there is a shortage of medical treatment, I will find some hay and spread it on the ground. Then roast him on a fire! β
Wang Ying said: "My lord, this person's whole body is hot, why do you still need to roast it?" β
Feng Manlou glanced at him, this old man, of course he didn't know. What's more, it is him, a person of this age, who estimates that he has little medical knowledge, and said: "This is due to the wind cold, and the cold enters the body!" On the outside, although it was very hot and sweating all the time, it was actually very cold inside. I hope that with a little heat at night, it will be relieved a lot. Let's take him with us on the road tomorrow and find a Langzhong in Yuhang! β
When Wang Ying heard this, he didn't expect that adults still knew medical skills, and he admired them very much. Fortunately, in this mountain temple, there is hay and some firewood. Everyone is angry now. Wang Ying dragged the man to the hay-covered place, lit a torch nearby, and put the man on it.
Feng Manlou used his own kettle, a little less boiling water, poured him down, and fed him some dry food. It was already late, and everyone was sleepy.
In the middle of the night, the patient suddenly screamed, and everyone woke up. Feng Manlou was woken up, only to hear this man shouting: "Water, water!" β
Wang Ying looked at it, only to see that his whole body was even hotter, and said: "My lord, this is not good, you see that his whole body is even hotter, and he has been sweating!" β
Feng Manlou looked at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It should be fine." Feed him some hot water! β
Wang Ying said: "Give it to your subordinates." Adults just rest. Good morning for the journey! β
