Chapter 18 Saving Lives
Xiao Heng galloped on his horse, and only slowed down after several miles.
Those children's love will be forgotten at this moment. What he has to undertake is the great responsibility of protecting the country and securing the country.
He now wants to enter Jingzhou first, see the Qin family, in order to avoid the emperor's pursuers, he has to walk through the mountains and forests, so that it will take more trips, and he has to arrive when the Qin family's attitude is unclear.
Thinking of this level, he was fast again.
Shen Muyao has learned to ride a horse with Xiao Heng these days, and when she saw Xiao Heng leaving, she also turned over and got on the horse: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time, let's go." ”
They face south, Xiao Heng faces north, and the heavens are on each side.
In the blink of an eye, some days passed.
Shen Muyao is a woman after all, her physical strength is average, and she is tired after riding a horse for a long time, so she asked a secret guard if she could stop and rest for a while. The dark guard nodded: "But it's up to the girl." But we know that there is a village ahead, and we can get there and rest. ”
Shen Muyao and his party arrived in the village. This village is very large and prosperous, and the chickens and dogs are lively. After a closer look, I found that today is a day to catch the market, and people everywhere are rubbing shoulders one after another, so it is not lively.
Shen Muyao saw that there were many people, so she stopped and dismounted. The small shops around sell a lot of interesting gadgets, Shen Muyao saw a kind of cake with the word "apricot" engraved on it, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boss, what kind of cake is this?" Is it made of almonds? ”
The boss was an uncle, and when he heard her say this, he replied with a smile: "That's not it!" This cake is made of mung bean flour, and it is called an almond cake because it is made of almonds. There are no almonds in it, do you want to buy two and try them? ”
Shen Muyao was about to turn her head and ask Xiao Heng if she wanted it as usual, when she suddenly remembered that Xiao Heng had already gone to Jingzhou, and she was a little lost, but she still said, "Help me get four or five." ”
Shen Muyao took the cake into her arms and continued to walk forward. There are indeed a lot of novelties, but Shen Muyao is not a loser's character, and she won't buy anything if she doesn't use it. Passing through a noisy place, she suddenly heard a desolate cry: "Please save my father, he is dying......"
There were a few people around who pointed and pointed, and more people walked away without even looking at them. Shen Muyao didn't want to join in the fun, but the girl's cry was really miserable and sad, so she still tied the horse to a tree next to her and walked over.
It was the entrance of a medical hall, and a girl who did not look twelve or thirteen years old was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to a man: "Please, save my father, I will pay back the money for cattle and horses!" ”
The man was kind at first to persuade him, but then he slowly became impatient: "You already owe a lot of money for medicine, and your father's disease is not easy to treat, and I don't know how much it will cost in the future, what should you do if you owe it?" We're also going to open our doors for business! ”
The girl saw that there was no way out, and sat on the ground and cried lowly. The man couldn't see it, and sighed: "If you want to cry, go elsewhere, don't ruin my business." It's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that we also want to beg for a living, and we can't help you. ”
The girl stood up. Stumbling forward. Shen Muyao is not a nosy person, but the heart of the healer's parents still stepped forward. The girl's body and mind shook as if she was about to fall, Shen Muyao hurriedly stepped forward and helped her: "Are you okay?" ”
The girl glanced up at her, and staggered on. Shen Muyao took her hand: "I'm a doctor, I may be able to save your father." ”
The girl turned her head sharply to look at her, and her tear-washed eyes shone again, but quickly dimmed: "I don't have any money." ”
Shen Muyao shook her head: "I don't want your money, I'm a doctor, I can't die without help." ”
The girl rushed over and grabbed Shen Muyao's shoulder, and the perennial thin hand was extremely strong at this time: "Really? Are you sure? Would you rather not save my father for a penny?! ”
Shen Muyao was caught in pain, but she still said with a smile: "Hmm." ”
