Xie Zheng helped Xiao Zhen to the city of Peixian, the city gate was closed, it stands to reason that no one is allowed to enter or leave the city after the curfew at night, at least this is the rule in this dynasty, I don't know if the Northern Wei Dynasty is also like this.

She knocked on the city gate twice, and no one answered the door, she was anxious, so she knocked on the door one after another, only then did she hear some noise in the door, the door was opened by a provincial uniform of the eight-grade city guard, the pawn poked out his head, looked at Xie Zheng and Xiao Zhen, and asked fiercely: "Who are you!" The gates of the city are closed, and I don't know that no one is allowed to enter or leave the city at this time? ”

Xie Zheng smiled in disgust, and for the first time in her life, she whispered to someone like this, she said: "We are businessmen, and we were going to go to Gaoping by boat, but we just encountered a shipwreck, my brother was seriously injured and urgently needed medical treatment, can you be accommodating?" ”

The pawn saw that Xiao Zhen's face was pale, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he was already unconscious, and saw that the two of them were wet, so he didn't think much about it, so he opened the city gate and let the two of them in.

Xie Zheng struggled to help Xiao Zhen into the city, and before he took a few steps, he heard a deep and cold voice behind him: "Stop!" ”

Listen, Xie Zheng chuckled in his heart, Xiao Zhen was indeed injured, and they did fall into the water, she was not afraid of shadows, and naturally she was not afraid of someone blocking the way, she was only afraid that someone would check their photo posts, and it didn't hurt to check her, but she just asked if they were from the Southern Dynasty, but if it was to check Xiao Zhen, it would be a lot of trouble.

Xie Zheng helped Xiao Zhen to turn around, and saw a young man wearing a uniform, a military crown, and a sword at his waist walking over step by step.

Judging by what he was wearing, he must be the city gate guard.

"What advice do you have?" Xie Zheng greeted him with a smile.

The guard still grimaced, "I heard, you sank the ship?" ”

"Yes," Xie Zheng also put away her smiling face, she is not a person who can please people, greeting her with a smile is the limit, but she is also afraid of a hot face sticking to a cold ass.

"And where did your ship come from?" This guard is extremely cautious, but he is really doing his part.

"We are from Guangling, and we are going to Gaoping," Xie Zheng replied truthfully, afraid that telling lies would arouse suspicion, and he would miss the time to see Xiao Zhen at that time.

"Guangling?" The guard looked at Xie Zheng and asked, "Southern Dynasty people?" ”

"Yes."

"Is there a photo post?"

I'm really afraid of anything!

The guard general saw that Xie Zheng showed his photo post and did not speak, so he said: "I am on official business, please cooperate." ”

Xie Zheng pretended to be calm, took out the photo slip from his sleeve and handed it to the guard, the guard took a look at it and handed it back, and then pointed at Xiao Zhen and asked, "What about his?" ”

"His portrait ...... has been put in the baggage, just fell into the water and fled in a hurry, didn't take care of the burden, and lost it. ”

"Oh?" The guard walked around the two of them twice, carefully examined the two of them from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, and finally stopped in front of the two, but fixed his eyes on Xiao Zhen's face, his brows furrowed, as if he had noticed something.

Xie Zheng was uneasy in his heart, and asked in a slightly urging tone, "Can you let me go?" My brother was seriously injured and in dire need of medical attention, and there was no room for delay. ”

Her two sentences brought back the thoughts of the guard, and the guard raised his head and pointed in the direction of the city, and only said, "Please." ”

Xie Zheng then helped Xiao Zhen turn around, walked two steps and turned back to peek, but saw that the guard was still standing there staring at them, she was afraid of arousing his suspicion again, so she asked: "Dare to ask Zunjia, I don't know how to get to the nearest medical hall?" ”

The guard said: "Walk along this street, there is a fork in the road in front, and the family doctor hall is around the corner." ”

"Thank you," Xie Zheng nodded at him, and walked away.

Seeing that the guard was still standing there and looking at it from afar, the pawn was afraid that he had let a suspicious person into the city, so he stepped forward in horror and asked flatteringly: "General, is there something wrong with those two people?" ”

"The man obviously had a photo post, but the woman didn't dare to take it out."

The pawn panicked, and hurriedly said, "Do you want to keep an eye on them?" ”

The guard looked back at the pawn, as expressionless as ever, "A woman can drag a faint man to swim ashore from Surabaya, and her face is not red or panting, such a master, do you think you can keep an eye on her?" ”

The pawn was weak and didn't dare to say much, the guard looked at the two people who walked away, and frowned involuntarily, he didn't care what the man named Xie Zheng was, but the man who was with her, he always felt quite familiar, and he knew where he had seen it.

Xie Zheng didn't dare to look back all the way this time, she walked to the fork in the road, and really saw a medical center around the corner, she knocked on the door, and after two sounds, a child slave came to open the door, Xie Zheng said: "I'm here to ask for a doctor, is your doctor there?" ”

When the child slave saw Xiao Zhen, he hurriedly replied: "Yes, come in," he said, and helped Xiao Zhen to lie down with Xie Zheng.

"Master has already rested, you wait a minute, I'll go and please."

"There's Lao Xiaolangjun," Xie Zheng bowed.

Before long, the child slave attracted an old man who was about sixty years old, and the child slave pointed to Xiao Zhen who was lying on the bed and said, "Master, it's him!" ”

The doctor came over to check Xiao Zhen's pulse, frowned slightly, and then asked, "Where is he injured?" ”

Xie Zheng replied: "I was hit on the back by the mast of the ship." ”

The doctor immediately untied Xiao Zhen's shirt, looked at a red mark on his back about six or seven inches thick, and couldn't help but exclaim, "The external injury is not serious, and the internal injury is not light!" ”

"The doctor is a skilled doctor, can he be cured?"

"I will prescribe you two medicines, one for decoction and oral administration, and the other for boiling into ointment and applying it to his wounds," said the doctor, and he wrote down the prescription and handed it to the child slave, who blindly grabbed the medicine.

The child slave grasped the medicine, folded the prescription again, and handed it to Xie Zheng, and the doctor advised: "Take three bowls of oral decoction and fry one bowl of water, take it once in the morning and once in the evening, and the external medicine is also three bowls of water, just boil it into a paste, apply it once a day, and also, when he sleeps, he must lie on his stomach, and never touch the injury." ”

"Okay, thank you," Xie Zheng took off the epidote inlaid silver earrings, put them on the desk of the medical hall, and said, "I don't have any cash at hand, can I use this pair of earrings to pay for the medicine." ”

The doctor picked up the earrings and took a closer look, "This is a high-grade green epidote, too valuable, this lady, you pay too much." ”

"My brother is seriously injured, and he will inevitably have to harass the doctor many times in the next few days, and this pair of earrings is worth paying," Xie Zheng said at this point, and he vomited again, and said to the doctor: "Our brother and sister are outsiders, and they came to Pei County to seek medical treatment, and they don't have a place to live, can we ...... Spend the night at the hospital, and tomorrow morning, I will take my brother to the inn. ”

The doctor hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can deal with it here for one night, he is seriously injured and it is inconvenient to walk." ”

Xie Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

The doctor instructed the child slave to boil the medicine, and then went back to the backyard to rest, Xiao Zhen was still lying on the Hu bed outside, Xie Zheng moved the Hu stool, next to the Hu bed, sat cross-legged on it, supported with one hand, guarding Xiao Zhen, Xu was too tired, she closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
