"I want to ask, why did Brother Xie save Dr. Cheng and Dr. Cheng Shenyi? Through this period of observation, even if Brother Xie knows Dr. Cheng, he only met in Pingshui and did not know each other, for the sake of two strangers, Brother Xie also deliberately went up the mountain to take this trip, which was too ......"

Ni Qingyun didn't say the latter, but everyone knew that he felt that Xie Yan didn't need to take such a risk for two strangers, even if it wasn't a danger for Xie Yan, it was too troublesome.

Ni Qingyun is actually older than Xie Yan, and calling Xie Yan "brother" is to show respect.

Xie Yan said, "We need a doctor."

Old Doctor Cheng looked at Xie Yan in surprise, and Ni Qingyun asked, "Brother Xie, do you have relatives and friends......

He asked halfway through his words, paused, and felt that it was really difficult to say this, except for the sick people, who needed a doctor, just to ask if anyone had relatives or friends who were sick, but it was not easy to ask directly.

Xie Yan guessed Ni Qingyun's unfinished words, he said: "I want to save Cheng Lao because someone wants to worship Cheng Lao as a teacher."

Cheng Lao looked at Xie Yan with a surprised face, this Gongzi Xie really doesn't look like a doctor, of course, people can't look good, even if Gongzi Xie is born rich, but everyone's thoughts are different, and no one stipulates that people from rich backgrounds can't have a dream of being a doctor.

Ni Qingyun's thoughts are obviously the same as Cheng Lao's, although he was a little surprised at first, but he quickly smiled: "It turns out that Brother Xie has a heart to help the world, no wonder Brother Xie has a miraculous medicine, but it is cheaper for my younger brother."

Xie Yan knew that they had misunderstood, but he didn't rush to explain, although this Ni Qingyun seemed to be a decent young man, but for Song Xiaochi's safety, he would not tell Song Xiaochi about refining medicine until he was completely sure that Ni Qingyun was trustworthy.

As for Cheng Lao, if he is really the person he knows, then his character makes Xie Yan feel at ease, not to mention, Cheng Lao and Cheng Shenyi, father and son, Xie Yan believes that he is still enough to deter the two, so that they dare not have delusions.

"This matter depends on what Cheng Lao means, I will find an opportunity to talk to Cheng Lao in detail in the future." Xie Yan said.

Ni Qingyun was exquisite, and as soon as he heard Xie Yan say this, he immediately understood that he wanted to talk to Cheng Lao in private, so he didn't ask more questions on this issue.

"Brother Xie shouldn't have just gone up the mountain for apprenticeship, right?"

Ni Qingyun asked again, he saw Xie Yan looking at him, and explained: "Before, I did think that Brother Xie went up the mountain only to save Doctor Cheng's father and son or the people of the caravan, but in the past few days, I heard Xiaosi and Gou Yu say that Brother Xie seems to be inquiring about Hujugang, so I think, even if Brother Xie is really from the government and wants to suppress the bandits, the purpose is not to suppress us, but to Hujugang, I don't know if I guessed right, junior brother?"

Xie Yan didn't answer directly, but looked at Uncle Ni and asked, "I don't know what Uncle Ni said before counts?"

Uncle Ni immediately understood what Xie Yan was referring to, and he said categorically: "I said before, even if you are here to exterminate us, in the great favor of you saving my son, the cottage will be destroyed if it is destroyed, as long as it does not hurt the lives of the people in the village, I am willing to help."

If you want to take someone back to the errand, my old man is the big boss in the stockade, and you can take my life. ”

Uncle Ni's words are very beautiful, but Song Xiaochi thinks that this old man is very smart, if Xie Yan is really a bandit, Uncle Ni probably saw Xie Yan's strength, even if he fights hard, with the strength of this village, at most he and Xie Yan will fight to lose, how many people will die in the village is unknown, and now he exchanges his own life for the life of the entire village, this is a good deal, not to mention, the key is that such a cost-effective deal is still proposed in the name of repaying gratitude, as if Xie Yan took a big advantage.

"Uncle Ni wasn't a bookkeeper before he fell into the grass?" Xie Yan suddenly asked.

This question stunned Uncle Ni, and before he could answer, Cheng Gouyu, who had not left, replied: "How did Gongzi Xie know that Uncle Ni had been a bookkeeper?"

As soon as Cheng Gouyu's words came out, Xie Yan was stunned, and then said with a smile: "I really worked as an account housekeeper, no wonder I can calculate like this."

Uncle Ni immediately understood that Xie Yan saw his thoughts, which was not surprising, but in the end, it was he who was at fault, Uncle Ni stood up and bowed his hand to Xie Yan.

"Gongzi Xie, the old man's calculations are all for the villagers in the village, and please don't remember the villain......"

Xie Yan hurriedly stood up and avoided Uncle Ni's salute, "I understand Uncle Ni's mood, and Brother Ni also said just now, my purpose is to stand on the hill, I don't know if Uncle Ni may give me a positive answer." ”

Uncle Ni's face flushed, but when he heard Xie Yan call Ni Qingyun "Brother Ni", this can be regarded as a brother and brother with Ni Qingyun, Uncle Ni let go of his heart a little, and said busily: "Naturally, naturally."

"Huju post is in the northeast of us, about 30 miles away from here, no one in our village has been to Huju Gang, but the bandits in Huju Gang have come to our village, two years ago after we just settled here, Huju Gang sent a man named Sun Jun, with a dozen or so subordinates to come over, saying that we should pay them 100 taels of silver every year, 50 taels at the beginning of the year, 50 taels at the end of the year, they came to collect the money that time."

Uncle Ni told Song Xiaochi Xie Yan about the grievances between their small village and Hujugang, although they also inquired from other people in the village, but it was not as detailed as what Uncle Ni said, and those aunts and aunts didn't know as much as Uncle Ni.

At the beginning, Sun Jun asked for silver as soon as he came up, but the villagers of Qicai Village naturally didn't, they couldn't live because they were squeezed by the Zhang County Order of Xuan County, so they went up the mountain and fell into the grass, where did the silver come from.

The two sides naturally clashed, when Gao Qiu led people to beat Sun Jun's dozen people and fled, and Sun Jun left a threatening sentence like all villains before leaving, "You wait for Lao Tzu!" ”

The villagers didn't take his words to heart at first, they were busy building houses, inquiring about news, preparing to rob, sending people down the mountain to buy rice, flour, salt and oil, and sending some people up the mountain to find out if there was anything that could be exchanged for money.

But within a few days, the villagers who had been arranged to stand guard at the highest place of the cottage came to report in a panic, saying that a large number of people had come from the northeast, and they seemed to be holding swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons.

At first, the villagers in the village thought that the officers and soldiers had come to suppress the bandits, but some villagers who went to the heights to see said no, and those people were not wearing official uniforms.

And because of the long journey, Ni Qingyun, who had a recurrence of the old disease, happened to be slightly better, and asked what happened in the village during this time, and instantly guessed that the person who came should be the person from Hujugang, looking at the posture, Hujugang is far higher than them in terms of number and strength.
