Chapter Thirty-Six: Secretly Crossing Chen Cang
When she Langzhong saw that it was Mu Bingyue, he hurriedly got up, "Miss Mu, you're here." ”
Mu Bingyue nodded and looked around, but she didn't expect that the situation still hadn't improved.
Seeing that the people around him had not moved, Sherlang Zhong hurriedly explained to them, "Everyone can go with confidence, the reason why the hall can see a doctor for free is also the consultation fee from this girl." ”
The people in the house listened, and after being stunned for a moment, they all thanked Mu Bingyue one after another, and then left under the repeated urging of Shelangzhong.
When the people were gone, Shelang Zhong hurriedly led Mu Bingyue to the inner room, "Miss Mu, why did you come here in person today?" ”
"Don't hide it, the Mu family is now overstretched, Bingyue wants to ask you, but anyone wants to buy a real estate store? The price is negotiable. "Xiao Shunzi is gone, Grandpa Cao, then she really can't speak anymore.
She Langzhong sighed deeply, "In this troubled world, people are almost out of rice, how can they have spare money to buy farmland......"
Mu Bingyue sighed, "...... I also know that it is only the recent increase in the number of victims, and the rice and grain purchased by my family have bottomed out, and I really can't think about it. ”
She Langzhong looked at Mu Bingyue, who was only a few years older than his grandson, but his heart was full of admiration. Smallpox, the second executioner who was only below the war, was subdued by this girl in front of him who didn't know anything about medicine, and I was afraid that no one would believe it.
It was also because of her that the men of his family did not have to go to the battlefield, so he didn't ask for any of the 100,000 taels of silver.
It's just that now the rice kneels like oil, and the silver flows out like water, and the hungry people who are stuck here are gathering more and more, which really worries him, "Miss Mu doesn't know, the reason why the hungry people have increased is that the surrounding counties heard that there are people who have rescued the victims, so they rushed to Huai County, and now it is roughly estimated that the girl has taken in about seven or eight hundred people, and if it goes on like this, if the court disaster relief rice does not come down, what will Miss Mu do?" ”
Mu Bingyue's eyes were full of sorrow, and she stood silent.
She Langzhong looked at Mu Bingyue, who was frowning, and sighed long, "The upper doctor heals the country, the Chinese medicine heals the heart, and the lower medicine heals the body, but She's not even a low-grade doctor now...... I don't know if this chaos can be passed safely, even if Xuanyuan doesn't go to war, this rare famine year, Chiyan will be sad...... We have a girl relief here, the situation is better, I heard that there are many places in other counties and counties that have begun to cause locust plagues again, and the red land is thousands of miles...... People who can't get along sell their sons and daughters one after another, and there are corpses of people who have fallen to the ground on the roadside, and new graves that have risen one after another, and in some places it has even reached the point of cannibalism......"
"What? ......" A thunderbolt crossed her heart, Mu Bingyue shook on the ground, and those three words were like lightning, slashing into her mind, rumbling over and over again to hit her fragile nerves.
Has the situation become so bad?
In the history books, she did see the written record of someone eating a child in a disaster year, but when this scene really happened around her, Mu Bingyue's whole person seemed to be swept into the stormy waves, and she could no longer calm down, and her slender body trembled uncontrollably.
When she saw Mu Bingyue's reaction, she immediately regretted it, and couldn't help but blame herself for talking too much, no matter how wise she was, she was a child who hadn't grown up after all!
The terrifying picture lingered in his mind, and Mu Bingyue's stomach gradually became uncomfortable.
Seeing that Mu Bingyue's face was getting paler and paler, she Langzhong hurriedly asked his apprentice to get sugar water for Mu Bingyue.
After just this moment, Mu Bingyue let out a cold sweat, and she leaned on the chair with some prostration.
She Langzhong hurriedly handed over the cool sugar water.
After half a day, Mu Bingyue eased up, looked at the two people who were staring at her nervously, and smiled reluctantly.
Seeing that she had eased up, she let go of her heart, "Miss Mu has you eaten in the morning?" ”
Mu Bingyue smiled and didn't answer, speaking of which, because she had no appetite in the morning, but she didn't eat anything, she walked here, and only now did she feel a little unsupportable.
As soon as Shelangzhong saw her expression, he immediately knew that Mu Bingyue must have not eaten, so he hurriedly instructed the little medicine apprentice to cook, while taking out the pulse pillow and giving Mu Bingyue a pulse.
"Qi and blood are deficient, but Miss Mu took the medicine I prescribed on time?"
"I ate it, otherwise I wouldn't have been nagged to death by Shen Xue and the others."
She Langzhong shook his head with a smile, "Miss Mu is weak and weak, so you should relax your mind in the future, and you can't work too hard." ”
The two talked again, and after a while, the little medicine apprentice brought the prepared meal, and Shi Langzhong took a look, and couldn't help but pat the little medicine apprentice's head fiercely, "You only have an appetite, you don't have a long memory, Miss Mu doesn't eat meat, why did you forget it?" It's really underplayed! ”
Mu Bingyue hurriedly persuaded her, "It's good to have rice." ”
The little medicine apprentice stood behind Sherlang aggrievedly and muttered, "The master always says that Miss Mu is weak and wants to use the best tonics, but no matter how good the tonic is, how can the meat make up faster?" ”
Lieutenant General Shelang laid out the meal for Mu Bingyue, and when he heard the complaints of his apprentice, he turned around and gave him a slap again, "Don't you say that I forgot, where did this bacon come from?" ”
The little medicine apprentice obediently received a slap, and when he heard the master's questioning, he was even more aggrieved, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, this is the bacon that the master secretly hidden, just because I am afraid that the master will be stupid and give everything to others, and lose your own body." Today, if it weren't for Miss Mu coming, I wouldn't be willing to take it out! ”
Who knew that Shelangzhong was not moved when he heard it, and slapped the little medicine disciple again, "I said that the food has a meaty taste these days, I thought that my sense of taste was wrong, it turned out that you little rabbit cub secretly crossed Chen Cang!" ”
Syllable...... Mu Bingyue stood up in shock, and the chopsticks in her hand rolled to the ground.
The two bickering stopped blankly.
Mu Bingyue's eyes flashed with inspiration, as bright as the North Pole, and she kept chanting: "Secretly crossing Chen Cang...... Secretly crossing Chen Cang......"
She Langzhong and the apprentice were stunned, glanced at each other, and then looked back at Mu Bingyue.
"Shelangzhong's words woke up the dreamer, Bingyue had a plan...... It may be a solution to the immediate dilemma. Mu Bingyue's mind was churning, and she instantly counted her thoughts together.
Now Xuanyuan has not moved, I am afraid that she is secretly plotting something, but at this time, even if she uses troops against Chiyan, she should wait for the New Year to pass, and in these only ten days, she can only let go, and whether she succeeds or not depends on the will of God.
Sherlang looked at Mu Bingyue in shock, and said in disbelief: "The girl has a solution...... Way? ”
Mu Bingyue nodded slowly, and said blankly: "I just don't know, does the Emperor of Chiyan have the courage to dare to break the kettle and give it a try?" ”
She Langzhong was even more puzzled, and when he was about to ask again, he saw that Mu Bingyue was already walking out, he hurriedly followed, "The girl of the whole family was saved in this chaos, but the girl had an order, and she went to the soup and fire, and she would not give up." ”
Mu Bingyue didn't know where he got such trust, this plan not only required the emperor's courage, but also needed careful planning and foolproof deployment. However, even if all these three are satisfied, I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve this internal worry before Xuanyuan Firmament launches a war.
The unconditional trust in Shelangzhong, Grandpa Cao, the teachers, and the more than 100 Xiuniang made Mu Bingyue feel that the burden on her shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, and step by step to the present, she had completely integrated into this troubled world and could not stay out of it.
"There will be a chance", in the past, she was always negative about the world, but now she thinks that she really shouldn't, if she can get through this crisis safely, she will definitely do her best to help the people here.
Time was pressing, Mu Bingyue didn't dare to delay any longer, and after saying goodbye to Shelangzhong, she rushed to Grandpa Cao's house.
Cao Shu looked at Mu Bingyue under the scorching sun, hurriedly coming alone, and was shocked, "Yue'er, what's wrong?" ”
Mu Bingyue shook her head and went straight to the point, "Can Grandpa Cao know the prefect who governs Huai County?" ”
Cao Shu shook his head blankly, seeing Mu Bingyue's face becoming anxious, he hurriedly asked, "Yue'er, but something is in trouble?" Do you have to do it with the prefect? Grandpa knew the garrison here. ”
Mu Bingyue's eyes lit up, but she heard Cao Shu continue: "It's just that the garrison led the troops to Qicheng to help the garrison there suppress the rebellious people, and it will take a few days to come back." ”
The prefect is in charge of civil affairs, and the garrison is in charge of the military, but the two positions are of the same rank.
The newly transferred county order of Huai County is still on the way here, but even if the county order is here, Mu Bingyue plans to find the prefect, because only the prefect can directly write to the emperor, and the twists and turns of the county order will have to be turned several times before it reaches the emperor, and the matter is urgent, and she can't take a roundabout road anymore.
"I wonder how long it will take to get to the prefect's mansion here?" It would take a lot of talk, but that's the only way for her.
"This place is under the jurisdiction of Wucheng, Huai County is located in its outermost part, open up all the passes, even if you take the waterway, it will take a day or two", Cao Shu calculated the time.
"One or two days ......", Mu Bingyue was greatly disappointed, and her mind turned sharply, "The outermost ...... Is Huai County close to the prefect of the neighboring city? ”
"The closest ...... to here Yes! It is Weicheng, and it only takes one or two hours to reach the prefect's residence. ”
"Weicheng...... But the prefect who promoted Wang Yuan? Mu Bingyue was secretly happy in her heart, if this was the case, it would save a lot of trouble.
Cao Shu nodded very quickly, "Yue'er is going, grandpa, I'm going to dredge up the relationship." ”
Mu Bingyue got up, "Grandpa Cao, then we'll see you at the ferry in half an hour." ”
Mu Bingyue agreed, and hurried to Xiuzhuang.
Shen Xue was dozing off boredly, seeing Mu Bingyue coming in at this point, she only thought that something had happened, and was about to ask, but Mu Bingyue waved her hand to stop her, "Xiaoxue, you go to Fanzhuang now, wrap up all the valuable jade, and hire a carriage to wait for me at the entrance of the valley, remember to do it as soon as possible." ”
Shen Xue was about to ask, but was stopped by the pity who came out of the back hall, so she had to do as she was told.
Now that people can't eat enough and the horses are all slaughtered, Mu Bingyue can't find a carriage to travel for a while, so she has to walk back.
The scorching sun was blazing, and Mu Bingyue only ate a few bites of rice at noon, which would make her legs weak. She hurried to the valley, and before she reached the hut, she saw a man drenched and covered in a large patch of blood, lying not far from the hut.
