009 Plague
"Don't expect the old man to save you at a critical moment, and you don't expect the Oblique Rain Building."
Xu saw Du Yao's thoughts, and hit her mercilessly, but Du Yao didn't think so.
"Master is a little too confident when he says this, isn't it? I don't feel like I'm so incompetent, and I would have lived well without the Rain Building. ”
"That's very good."
Seeing that Du Yao has such a good face, she doesn't want to leave her and doesn't want to hit her too much, after all, she has her own way to go, and it is okay to be a master and say everything. Moreover, destiny is indisobedient, he can't change too much, and he will still stop at the original point in the end.
Helian Chen listened to the meaning of the words, and said in his heart that the Oblique Rain Building would not let Du Yao have an accident.
"Du Yao, I can't be with you this time, you can hold this token, once something happens, you can mobilize any rudder of the Oblique Rain Building."
Seeing Du Yao leaving, Helian Chen had nothing to give, he hoped that this token could bring security to Du Yao.
Taking the token handed over by Helianchen, Du Yao suddenly didn't know what to say, all she could say was words of thanks, but that kind of words would definitely not come from her.
"I see."
Du Yao's short and clear words changed in everyone's ears, but Du Yao was like this on weekdays, and no one had the intention of picking on them.
Hua Rongying originally wanted to send Du Yao out of the mountain, but Du Yao repeatedly insisted on leaving alone, but seeing this, Hua Rongying couldn't resist her, so she had to let her temperament.
After leaving the Nameless Valley, Du Yao was not in a hurry to rush to the capital, she was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to make a splash.
Walking alone on the path next to the field with the medicine box on her back, Du Yao felt the pleasure brought to her by nature. Now it is the height of summer, everything is in the most prosperous season, and the scenery along the way is picturesque, Du Yao has a lot of emotion about it.
As she walked, Du Yao gradually noticed that the scenery along the way had changed slightly, and some trees and crops had changed color and withered. Seeing this, Du Yao looked around with doubts, and noticed that there was a village not far away, and Du Yao decided to go there to ask the villagers. Her instincts and subconscious were telling her that something was going to happen here.
Walking into the village alone, before anyone arrived at the gate of the village, Du Yao smelled a strange smell. Smelling the smell, Du Yao's heart tightened, she had already smelled that the pungent smell was the smell of the plague.
The situation was urgent, and Du Yao couldn't think about it for the halfest, she took out a pill from the medicine box, swallowed the pill, and strode into the village.
As soon as he entered the village, the mess in the village made Du Yao more and more sure that this village was suffering from the plague.
The people on the street came and went, and there were many people lying on the side of the road dying, and Du Yao had a kind heart when he saw this.
Du Yao came to an old woman on the side of the road, leaned over, and Du Yao asked with a concerned face:
"Old man, are you alright?"
The old woman's face was extremely haggard, and Du Yao could see that if the old man was not treated in time, he would die soon.
Hearing someone talking to herself, the old woman opened her eyes, looked at Du Yao, and whispered:
"Girl, what's wrong?"
"Old man, I'm Langzhong, let me show you, don't worry, I won't charge a penny"
Du Yao noticed that the old woman's dress was not like a person with a lot of money, since she didn't take money, this time she went out of the mountain with the mentality of hanging a pot to help the world and benefit the people, what does it matter if there is more money or a little less, anyway, she is not bad for money.
When the old woman learned that the girl in front of her was Langzhong, and that Langzhong did not charge money, she was very happy, she had been sick for a long time, and she had no money for treatment, but fortunately she had a breath to hang, otherwise she would not be in this world.
"Girl, you, you really don't want money?"
"Old man, why am I lying to you about an old man? Don't worry, I won't ask you for a penny. ”
The simplicity of the old woman made Du Yao unbearable to refuse her, to put it bluntly, Du Yao was a poor old woman, because looking at the old woman's age, she guessed that the old woman had experienced the previous dynasty, and that was the people of the previous dynasty, and she should love it.
Seeing Du Yao's kind appearance, the old woman nodded and said:
"Okay, then you can cure it."
The old woman's pronunciation trembled a little when she spoke, and Du Yao guessed that the old man was afraid that he would not live long. She took out a piece of ginseng from the medicine box and let the old woman hold it for a while, and then took out a golden pill and fed it to the old woman with the spring water she had brought. The old woman only felt that the pill under the spring water was melted immediately, and it was very easy to absorb.
took the pill for the old woman, and Du Yao took her pulse again.
"Girl, what is my disease?"
When the old woman saw Du Yao's such a capable technique, she had confidence in Du Yao.
"Old man, your illness is an infectious disease, and you have to find the root of it, but your health is much better now, and your life will not be at stake for the time being."
"The girl said that the sick ......"
After listening to Du Yao's words, the old woman was a little puzzled, she didn't know what Du Yao meant in her words, she just knew that looking at Du Yao's expression, this illness seemed to be a big deal.
"Old man, do you have anyone here who has the final say? Where is your county? ”
In Du Yao's opinion, some words still have to be explained to the officials in the village, after all, ordinary people can't understand some words, and once there is a verbal conflict, it will have an impact on that side.
"Zhixian he...... There were people in the village who got strange diseases one after another, and the magistrate was afraid of contracting a strange disease, so he left with his family. ”
The old woman still had tears in her eyes when she said this, Du Yao was very unhappy when she saw this, what she was most unaccustomed to on weekdays was the kind of officials who ran away, only cared about themselves, and were selfish. Before, she was still worried that the world belonged to the Wu family, but now she didn't feel any guilt, in her opinion, the Wu family's world was doomed, and she had nothing to feel guilty about.
Noticing that Du Yao's expression was not very good, the old woman would inevitably be worried. Now she is not only worried about Du Yao, but also about other people in the village who have a strange disease.
"Girl, I don't know ...... other people in the village"
"Old man, don't worry, I'm a disciple of the divine doctor, and I will save you from your illness this time. Old man, you take this bottle of medicine first, take one pill a day, and it will be fine after seven days. ”
Du Yao gave the old woman a few pills about the recovery from the plague that she had developed a few years ago, and the medicine she brought out of the mountains this time was not very complete, and she needed to go to the mountains to collect some useful medicines now.
Taking the medicine handed by Du Yao, the old woman said with joy:
"Girl, thank you, girl."
"The old man doesn't need to thank me, this is what I should do. Old man, can I ask you something? ”
"Girl, please."
"Old man, I wonder if there are any mountains near here?"
"Yes, go south from the village, there is a hill there, and the medicinal herbs are rich enough."
The old woman's words were heard in Du Yao's ears, Du Yao's brows furrowed, and then she said:
"How did the old man know that the medicinal herbs in the mountain were rich enough?"
Noticing Du Yao's inquiring look, the old woman smiled, her smile was so kind in the sun.
"Because I used to be a Langzhong."
The old woman was obviously choked up when she said this, and the delicate Du Yao noticed this detail and hurriedly asked:
"Since the old man has been practicing medicine for many years, I want to come to the old man to know what this disease is."
Up to now, Du Yao didn't want to hide anything from this old man, she believed that the old man was a matter of Lang Zhong when he was young, maybe the old man couldn't cure his illness because she didn't have a prescription.
In this world, except for the miracle doctor, I am afraid that no one will have the ability to develop a prescription.
Seeing that Du Yao insisted on asking, the old woman did not intend to continue to conceal it.
"In the last years of the previous dynasty, I was just a Jianghu Langzhong, and then I was fortunate to have the mercy of Prince Luo and Princess Luo to come to King Luo's mansion to be the imperial physician of King Luo. When the previous dynasty fell, I watched Prince Luo commit suicide in the fire, and it was a scar in my heart that can never be erased."
"Even if I have been a Langzhong for many years, I don't believe that the old man doesn't know anything."
"How do you know what you don't know? I am no longer the imperial physician of the Luo Palace, so why should I say something that makes people panic? ”
The old woman's words were pitiful, and Du Yao was reluctant to see her appearance, but she didn't want to be a so-called good person.
"Since the old man knows everything, please ask the old man to lend me a safe person to go up the mountain to collect medicine with me."
Du Yao's words seemed to be thoughtful, but they didn't sound like that.
Knowing that Du Yao was going to the mountains to collect medicine, the old woman couldn't say anything, she stood up with the help of Du Yao, and took out a yellowed kraft paper from her clothes, and handed the kraft paper to Du Yao, Du Yao noticed that it was a map, Du Yao guessed that this was the secret of the mountain, and thought that there was some ulterior secret to be announced to the public.
"If you want to say that this is a safe person, I have a candidate here."
"Who?"
"My grandson."
"This ......"
As soon as she heard that the old woman wanted her grandson to accompany her to the mountains to collect medicine, Du Yao's heart was nervous, not to mention that the old woman's grandson was a child who had not yet grown up, so it would be fine for Du Yao to collect some medicine alone. The reason why she asked the old woman to recommend someone to her was that she hoped that the person recommended by the old woman on the mountain would not run away in case of trouble, so that she could look down on her.
It's just that she can't imagine a child following her to a dish of herbs.
Seeing a touch of sadness in Du Yao's eyes, she guessed that Du Yao was thinking about her grandson.
"The girl is afraid that the child will be burdensome, right?"
"Don't say that, old man, I won't dislike it."
Now is an extraordinary time, Du Yao doesn't dare to show any thoughts in her heart, in her opinion, it is still true to cure the illness of the people in the village.
