Chapter 171: The Great War of Delay
"My lord, everyone has been flustered recently, and they have hurriedly spilled the water and wet the roster, Wu Xiucai in the village is sorting it out, please sort it out again." The village chief began to sigh, "I don't know if it angered the mountain god, suddenly so many people were sick, and there was a riot of beasts a few days ago... The more the village chief spoke, the more anxious he became, pacing back and forth, at a loss.
"Village chief, don't worry, it may not be the mountain god at this time, the imperial court sent this official to understand the situation." Yan Xuanfu had the word Sichuan on his forehead again, the village chief had been nagging for so long, half an hour had passed, and he had not made the situation clear until now. "May I ask the village chief what is the current situation, and please tell me carefully."
"Wu Xiucai, who knows the situation best, is now busy sorting out the roster, and when he finishes it, he will come over, there is only one scholar in our village, the other old and old, sick and sick, and few, alas, God, what kind of evil has we done in Beicun."
Yan Xuanfu's patience was almost worn out, and his smile couldn't hold on.
At this time, the village sister-in-law Lin was bringing people to the table with wine and food.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must be thirsty and tired from coming so far, this is the villagers to honor you,"
"Why should the village chief be so polite, this official is here on the orders of the imperial court." Yan Xuanfu's refusal was interrupted by the action of bringing the officers and soldiers to eat meat, too, they were gnawing bread all day yesterday.
"My lord, you haven't eaten yet, so it's better to finish eating." The senior deputy also spoke.
"Then thank you village chief, that's the withdrawal of this wine, we are acting on orders." Yan Xuanfu still has a correct attitude.
"Yes, yes, this is the old man who is not sensible, Sister-in-law Lin!"
"Hey!"
Sister-in-law Lin quickly removed the wine, saw that the dishes were almost finished, and asked people to add dishes. The vegetables are wild vegetables, and the meat is also ordinary meat, and the taste is indeed very good, and the officers and soldiers have long been hungry.
"Brothers, eat, eat." The high lieutenant is even more prosperous over there.
"Yes, yes, sir, only when you are full can you have the strength to work." The village chief hurriedly agreed, "If it's not enough, it's a specialty of our village, and you can't eat it anywhere else." Aren't we going to wait for the smoke to end? ”
"Brothers, let's eat," Yan Xuanfu said helplessly as he looked at the smoking village.
With Yan Xuanfu's words, the officers and soldiers dared to start and immediately devoured them.
Yan Xuanfu has been asking the village chief about the actual situation of Beicun, and has been fooled by the village chief, sometimes saying that the old man is forgetful, another saying that the village is more clear, and sometimes saying that he will wait to ask Dr. Lin. But no matter how to ask, the village chief always has an excuse to prevaricate/
Yan Xuanfu endured it again and again, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, Huo stood up.
"Village chief, go into the village now to see the patient." After speaking, Lord Yan left directly.
When the senior deputy and the officers and soldiers saw it, they put down the dishes and chopsticks, and they all got up.
"Hey, Lord Yan, wait for me." The village chief stepped away from his old feet and chased after him, so anxious that his gray hair was scattered.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Xuanfu had already walked more than ten steps.
"Village Chief, Village Chief!" A man ran out of breath, with an axe in his hand and a bamboo basket on his back, and looked like a woodcutter.
"Erniu, what's wrong?" The village chief is in a hurry, don't settle down in a wave, and rise again!
"Just outside the village, I heard that a convoy was coming here." Erniu said excitedly, "It was said that the doctor from Baicaotang came with medicine." ”
"Really?" The village chief was overjoyed, Long Gongzi really didn't lie to him, he really came, and at this moment, the village chief still couldn't believe it, it was still Baicaotang. Just kidding, Baicaotang is also well-known even in remote places like them, that is, the medical hall, but also the good hall, I heard that their owner is a great benevolent person, often helping people in need, and also opened a school of righteousness, and also, the locusts in East Lake earlier were also the hands of Baicaotang. "Is it really Baicaotang? Did I hear you right? ”
"Village Chief, you heard it right, it's that Baicaotang! I heard that there were several carriages and carts of medicinal herbs! Erniu nodded like a green onion.
"Great! That's great! "The village chief really laughed from the bottom of his heart this time, and he really met a noble person this time.
"Remember, my master is the son of a noble man in the court, and his identity should not be exposed, and I ask the village chief to help keep it secret." The words of the eighth day of the first month are still in my ears.
The village chief gave the order in his ear, carefully reminding himself to go and not show his stuffing.
Village Chief: "Are you sure you heard me right?" ”
Niu Er: "It's really Baicaotang, should we not greet it?" ”
"Don't go and greet it yet! Quick, come with me! Hurry up, hurry up! After the village chief finished speaking, he ran to the entrance of the village, ran seven or eight steps and suddenly stopped, and walked back. Lord Yan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I make people ... No, no, no, I'll go into the village with you, and then let someone go to greet the doctors of Baicaotang. ”
"Village chief, I'll go with you to see the people from Baicaotang," Yan Xuanfu also wanted to know who was coming from Baicaotang, besides, the people from Baicaotang understood medical science, and they could understand the situation better if they saw patients together.
"My lord, we are officials, and Baicaotang is just a grass people." The senior deputy disagreed, "Is it necessary to be so polite and virtuous?" ”
"Not to mention that Baicaotang has now faintly become the master of the medicine hall, what is the son-in-law of Hong Weng in Baicaotang, and the divine dragon who sees the head and the end of the Lin Divine Doctor, it is rumored that one-handed medical skills can bring the dead back to life, such a master, must be treated with courtesy."
"This kind of poor and remote land, even if Baicaotang sends someone to come, he will not send the chief to come, and he must be a little-known doctor." The senior deputy scoffed.
Yan Xuanfu: "Don't say it, come with me to greet you." Yan Xuanfu pressed his temper, his face unhappy.
Village Chief: "Yes, yes, please." ”
The senior deputy followed behind, sneering, he had followed Yan Xuanfu these days, and he usually didn't know that he had the side of pretending to be a virtuous official.
