It's May, spring is late, and the weather is getting hotter. At noon, the sun hung brightly overhead, making people dizzy.

"Big brother, it's not good, two more female relatives of the clan have fainted." Pei Jue frowned and hurriedly walked to Pei Zhang's side.

It was only the third day after leaving the capital, and the delicate and frail Pei family members had already fainted more than a dozen and three were sick.

During the exile, there was a stutter of food and drink at most. Those who fainted were carried to rudimentary wooden carts. The two medical officers accompanying him were both sent by the Imperial Physician Department and were responsible for taking care of the 500 Imperial Forest Army......

In other words, if the Pei family faints or is seriously ill, the medical officer can ignore it.

However, the two medical officers did not sit idly by. As soon as someone fainted and was carried onto a wooden cart, the two medical officers immediately went to heal him. On the way, I couldn't prescribe medicine, I couldn't boil soup, and I brought a lot of ready-made medicines. It is enough to deal with minor illnesses and pains.

Pei Zhang nodded slightly, walked over with Pei Jue, and lifted the two aunts who had fainted to the wooden cart.

One of the medical officers, about twenty-two or three years old, had a handsome face and clear eyes.

Pei Zhang whispered to the medical officer: "There is a medical officer Lao Cheng." ”

……

This Cheng medical officer is Cheng Jinrong's lobby brother Cheng Jinghong.

After Cheng Fang was shocked to hear the bad news that the Yong'an Hou Mansion was exiled, he did not hesitate to include Cheng Jinghong in the list of medical officers accompanying him.

It is a long way to go to Lingnan, and it takes several months or even longer to come and go. Cheng Jinghong left Beijing in a hurry and didn't even return home. Instead, he spent an afternoon in the medicine warehouse of Tai Hospital, bringing two carts of medicinal herbs and all kinds of medicines.

With these medicines, I don't know how many lives of the Pei family can be saved during exile.

This kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai when the Pei family is in trouble.

It is difficult to express gratitude for the great kindness, and Pei Zhang has to keep this kindness in his heart first.

Cheng Jinghong was silent and said a few words, and responded briefly: "With me here, don't worry." After speaking, he checked the pulse of the two female relatives who had fainted.

One fainted from fatigue and fatigue, and the other had a fever.

Chen Pi also came with his master, and muttered in a low voice while laying his hands: "This is only the third day of leaving Beijing, and I fell ill one after another. There are still two months to go. I don't know how many of them will survive to the end. ”

If it weren't for them, there would be so many people in the Pei family, and I don't know how many people would die on the way.

Cheng Jinghong was accustomed to hearing the noise of tangerine peel, ignored it, and continued to administer needles to patients.

Chen Pi sighed in a low voice: "Licorice followed the young lady into the palace, and the slave went to Lingnan with the son." Xiaoshan has no father and mother by his side, I don't know if he will cry at night......"

Then, a low cry sounded in my ears.

Cheng Jinghong twitched the corners of his mouth, and took the time to glance back at Chen Pi, who was wiping his tears: "You are so worried about Xiaoshan, just stay in the capital that day." Why do you have to accompany me on this trip? ”

Chen Pi sniffed hard and wiped his tears and snot with his sleeve: "Childe leaves Beijing alone, where can the slave rest assured, of course you have to follow Childe." Childe sees a doctor, and the slave can help. The slave can also take care of the son's food, clothing, and daily life. ”

"I've entrusted Xiaoshan to Sister Shiso. Although Sister Shisu talks a lot, her temperament is gentle and careful, and she will definitely be able to take care of Xiaoshan. ”

Cheng Jinghong teased: "Compared with you, Zisu's words are not much." ”

Chen Pi: "......"

Chen Pi was thick-skinned, and he didn't get angry when he was teased, so he responded with a smile: "Childe doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't say anything all day long like a stuffy gourd." The slave had no choice but to open his mouth more to relieve his son's boredom. ”

Cheng Jinghong smiled and continued to turn his head to treat the patient.

An hour later, another woman was lifted onto the cart.

This time it was a very familiar face.

In just three days, Mrs. Yong'an Hou is no longer what she looks like. His face was thin, his face was haggard, and he looked more than ten years old. A pair of eyes, red and swollen from constant tears and weeping, could not be opened now.

Pei Zhang and Pei Jue worked together to lift the fainting Mrs. Yong'an Hou onto the wooden cart. Pei Zhang whispered to Pei Jue: "Second brother, I stay by my mother's side. In the next half day, it will be hard for you to support the people. ”

Pei Jue nodded. His handsome face was much tanned, but his eyes became more and more resolute.

In the past, the brocade clothes and jade food were pampered, and they fell in one fell for a while. Such hardships made Pei Jue grow up rapidly.

Pei Zhang looked at Pei Jue's figure and felt a little relieved in his heart. 's father died, and he and Pei Jue. Their brotherhood will support the Pei family, so that the family will take root in Lingnan and continue.

After Cheng Jinghong saw Mrs. Yong'an Hou, he furrowed his brows again and said in a low voice: "Madame is weak, and I have fainted twice in the past three days. There are also signs of impaired eyesight. It's not the way to go on like this. A person must have the will to survive in order to survive. ”

Pei Zhang was shocked when he heard it: "What do you mean ......?"

The rest of the words were delayed.

Cheng Jinghong said on behalf of Pei Zhang: "Madame is depressed and bent on death. ”

Pei Zhang's heart throbbed violently, and Cheng Jinghong's voice sounded in his ears: "I can see and treat my wife." However, the scars in her heart are not healed in a short period of time. You must have ideas that inspire her to survive. ”

……

When it got dark, everyone finally rushed to the post house on the official road.

As exiled criminals, the Pei family was not qualified to live in the house of the post house, and could only camp and sleep in the open space outside the post house. After a long day of walking, I was exhausted, so I could finally drink hot water and eat some hot food. After filling your stomach, you fall asleep.

In the tent, at first, there was the crying of women and children. Soon, it was calm.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army who accompanied him this time was surnamed Li, and he was also a disciple of the general. I met Pei Zhang in the past, and I also had some friendship. This time, the Pei family was exiled, and Commander Li took the initiative to ask Ying to escort him.

More than a dozen patients in the Pei family were able to live in a clean house, thanks to Commander Li's blind eye.

Pei Zhang couldn't swallow it, so he forced himself to eat two steamed buns and drink a bowl of hot water.

Then, Pei Jue came over quietly and whispered to Pei Zhang: "Big brother, there is a group of people who have been following us. There were about a hundred of them, all of them riding horses and carrying long knives, and they were all good hands. ”

Pei Zhang glanced at Pei Jue and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

From the night they left Beijing, this group of people silently followed behind the Pei family.

These 100 elite guards are all people who can travel 300 miles a day on horses, but they have been following the Pei family slowly for the past three days. The Pei family goes, and they go. The Pei family stopped to rest, and they rested.

Strangely, Commander Li also turned a blind eye to these people.

Pei Zhang was not surprised.

Pei Jue blurted out: "Big brother, who are they?" ”
