After the meal, Qingzhi and Dr. Xu rode around on a horse.

Because the road is actually aimless, it can only be regarded as a walk.

Everywhere she went, she would pretend to check the terrain and the shops on both sides, pretending to be identifying, but the end result was that there was no such shop.

Fortunately, Dr. Xu is quite familiar with the nearby town, and if she was alone, she would have been dizzy a long time ago.

The two of them walked from town to town, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Dr. Xu saw that it was not in one town, and then it was not in another town, and he couldn't find the place where Dr. Kong bought the medicine at the beginning, so he asked suspiciously: "Dr. Kong, where did you buy the medicine at that time?" ”

Qingzhi said: "Doctor Xu, the younger generation really can't remember the way. After all, the younger generation is not familiar with this place. ”

Dr. Xu asked again: "Then you should always remember the direction?" ”

Qingzhi said: "It was night, where can I remember the clear direction?" ”

"And how did you get back?" Doctor Xu asked suspiciously.

"Ask for directions all the way." Aoeda replied.

"Hey, you, you can't even remember the way." Dr. Xu said disappointedly.

It's freezing today, and although he wears a lot, the hand holding the horse rope is so cold that he can't stand it.

However, when he thought that there were doctors in the surrounding towns who knew where to buy and sell medicine, he didn't want to give up.

At noon, they ate at the only open inn in the town and continued on their way.

As they wander through another town, Aoeda suddenly notices that something is wrong with this town.

There aren't many young people in other towns, and even if there are, they're few, but in this town, you can always meet young people.

A cursory glance at the north-south road in the center of town alone shows that there are about twenty of them.

Although they were dressed like ordinary people, they did not look like ordinary people, because they were about the same age, they were all in their twenties and thirties, and few of them looked more than thirty years old.

Qingzhi suddenly remembered what the two Tangbao cavalrymen told him on the way from the barracks to Dr. Xu's house, that is, Lu Shikang and the other Tangbao cavalrymen were stabbed in a town.

That town was the stronghold of Zhou Jing's logistics soldiers to buy vegetables.

Suddenly thinking of this, she realized that the town where she and Dr. Xu were now was the town where Lu Shikang was stabbed.

And she also suddenly thought that if the Tangbao cavalry and Lu Shikang still went to find out the address where Zhou Jing's troops were located, there would still be risks, because all the Tangbao cavalry were young people, and Lu Shikang was the kind of person who looked eye-catching no matter how he dressed.

She suddenly had a plan, perhaps, this plan to find the whereabouts of Zhou Jing's troops should be completed by herself.

After all, you don't seem suspicious.

And there is the old man Dr. Xu as a cover.

With a certain idea, she deliberately led Dr. Xu to a remote and empty alley in the southwest corner of the town, and said to Dr. Xu: "Something is not quite right in this town, have you noticed it?" ”

Dr. Xu said, "What's wrong?" ”

His attention was only on searching for the pharmacy, and he didn't notice anything unusual about the town.

She whispered, "Don't you see that there are many young people in this town?" ”

Only then did Dr. Xu think of the young people wandering around in the town, and said, "However, even if people in some places don't go out to escape the disaster, there is nothing to say." ”

"Where is the town more populated by young people? If there are young men, there should also be young women, or their children, running in the streets, but there are no children in this town. ”

Doctor Xu frowned and said, "That's right...... It seems that I didn't see the woman and the child. ”

"Then what do you say, what are these people going to do?" Aoeda asked knowingly.

"This ...... Who can guess. ”

"If you want me to say, these people may be bandits, trying to take advantage of such a world to cause chaos." Of course, she couldn't explain the truth to Dr. Xu.

After all, she didn't know which side Dr. Xu's heart was on.

At present, many people are angry with Prince Xiao.

"Bandits?" Doctor Xu said as if he didn't believe it.

"It's hard to say. Let's see what they are doing in this town, in case they want to rob the people. ”

Doctor Xu said: "But even if they are really bandits, the two of us have no problem?" Forget it, the pharmacy is gone, let's go back. ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his own silver taels in the cloth bag on the horse's back with his left hand, and on the way, he deliberately brought fifty taels of silver over, trying to find a place to buy medicine.

The reason why I bring so much silver is because the price of medicine is expensive now, and if you want to buy more, you will definitely not be able to buy much if you bring less silver.

Seeing these young people now, he thought, in such a troubled world, if you can't buy medicine, you can't buy it, and when the time comes, if you really encounter bandits, won't it be troublesome if the silver is robbed.

The more he thought about it now, the more he felt that the people he had just seen were bandits.

Because they all seem to be physically strong, ordinary people can't train like them.

Seeing that he didn't want to find out if these people were bandits, Qingzhi just wanted to leave the town, and said, "Doctor Xu, we can't leave like this, you must know that if they are bandits, there must be a nest not too far from here, let's find the location of this bandit's den, and let the government come and destroy this bandit's den." In other words, this area is quite suitable for bandits to build a nest, after all, it is a mountainous area. ”

Doctor Xu said with a bitter face: "Doctor Kong, you have to look at the actual situation to see what you want to do." You see, you are a weak person who can no longer be weak, if I guessed correctly, you must not have worked hard? I'm an old man who is fast raising my teeth, just the two of us, and I still want to find the bandits' den? I'm afraid that the bandits' den won't be found, but they will find out, and then the two of us will be killed. ”

"Doctor Xu, why don't you have the heart to eliminate adultery and punish evil?" Aoeda tried to convince him with a provocative method.

Doctor Xu said helplessly with a bitter face: "Ouch, my Doctor Kong, you have to do what you can to eliminate adultery and punish evil." At this time, the traitor was not eliminated, the evil was not punished, but he put himself in, is it worth it? What do you mean by hitting a stone with an egg? What you want to do now is hit the stone with an egg. ”

"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Actually, she can't guarantee this.

"Then you say, how can you reassure me?" Naturally, Dr. Xu didn't believe her words.

"I can naturally keep you safe, and I am the only one who is in danger." She said.

"Dr. Kong, what do you mean by that?"
