Ning Guodong hadn't stepped into Ning Tiancheng's courtyard for a long time, and after he went, he was told that the eldest young master had gone out early in the morning, and he didn't say where he went.

But Ning Guodong was still a little uneasy, and after leaving Ning Tiancheng's courtyard door, he asked the housekeeper, "You haven't heard about the eldest young master taking medicine when he is sick recently?" ”

The butler's face flashed with astonishment, and he said again and again: "No, the house doctor hasn't mentioned it." ”

"Then how did Mo'er say that the eldest young master was taking medicine recently? Don't you know this? ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he glanced back at Ning Tiancheng's courtyard and said with relief: "Master, don't worry too much, since the government doctor doesn't know about it, it is estimated that it is a small problem, maybe it is too hard to practice martial arts, and it is common to strain your muscles and bones." ”

Speaking of this, Ning Guodong nodded and asked, "Let you find a massage master for me to come, have you found it?" ”

"I found it, it's the best massage master in the capital, and the next year is busy with relatives to pay New Year's greetings, so I made an appointment to come over on the sixth day of the new year. Master, these are all bruises you have left on the battlefield for so many years, but you have to let the master give you a massage. ”

To say that after so many years of conquest, it was the hardest war fought in the deep mountains of the border city back then, and it was very hard to win, not only that, but at that time, the enemy general immediately went down with a horizontal knife and cut straight through Ning Guodong's entire back, and the injury was extremely serious, but because of the tension of the war, and he did not recuperate well, he always repeated it from time to time, and he never had a good profit.

"Yes, I feel okay when I practice martial arts all year round, and I don't know if it's because I'm old, I always feel that my body is sometimes sore."

"Sir, you're laughing, you're healthy, but you also need to take care of your own body."

Ning Guodong was actually only in his forties, but he fought too many battles when he was young, leaving countless scars large and small.

Ning Tiancheng planned to wait for another two days and then go to Beidao to find this so-called miracle doctor, but he didn't expect that the condition seemed to be aggravated again, Ning Tiancheng felt that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he took Li Xiao out early this morning.

This moat was endless, Ning Tiancheng stood on the dock and asked Li Xiao, "Are you sure it's here to go to the north island?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates have inquired clearly, and the only way to go to the North Island is this waterway, go by boat."

Ning Tiancheng looked at the cold water and the biting cold wind, looked at the gloomy sky, and urged: "Why is there no ship coming here yet?" If you delay any longer, don't think about going back to the General's Mansion today. ”

Li Xiao carried a package on his back, which was full of gold and silver, heavy, Li Xiao turned it upside down before replying: "It's only the third day of the first month today, maybe the boatman is leaving relatives, and it's still early, maybe wait, there will be a ship coming, don't worry, young master." ”

Since he was sick, Li Xiao felt that the temper of the eldest young master had become more and more irritable, and if he didn't go well, he was full of anger, and he usually blamed the people in the mansion for not doing things properly, and he either beat or scolded.

After waiting for another half an hour, Ning Tiancheng's patience had already been exhausted, and he had already wrinkled his brows, and when he saw that a boatman was coming, he got on the boat with a command, and ordered the boatman to take him to Beidao with evil words.

When I could see an island in front of me from a distance, it was already two hours later, and I didn't know if it was the boatman's deliberate intention or what was going on, Ning Tiancheng felt that this person was deliberately walking so slowly, and said unceremoniously: "You boatman, can you hurry up, Young Master Ben is in a hurry." ”

"This young master, this is going against the wind, no matter how anxious you are, you can't help it."

The boatman's forehead was already covered with sweat, which was a little obvious in this winter, and his back was almost soaked, and he had been walking for two hours, and to be here was already considered young and strong, and if he was old, it would have been longer.

Ning Tiancheng took a breath, but this was indeed against the wind, and he sat patiently on the boat for half an hour, and when he docked, the sun had already unconsciously leaked out of the clouds, Ning Tiancheng took a look, it was already noon.

Ning Tiancheng didn't delay, let Li Xiao throw the silver to the man, and then got off the boat, walked for a while, came back again, and said to the boatman: "You wait here for Young Master Ben." ”

"That's not good, young master, the grass people are still in a hurry to go back."

Ning Tiancheng was wealthy, and he always felt that he couldn't do anything without silver, so he said non-negotiable: "Twenty taels? ”

The young man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately nodded like garlic and said, "That, that." ”

Ning Tiancheng just smiled sarcastically: "Then you can wait." ”

The young man also disembarked from the boat and went ashore, tied the tow rope of the boat to a thick branch on the shore, and said with a smile: "But this young master, the grass people can wait for you for three hours at most, and if the time is longer, it will be dark and you will not be able to find the way, and it is easy to run away on the lake, and you may float on the boat all night in vain." ”

"Got it."

Ning Tiancheng was so troublesome that he didn't take his words to heart at all, and just asked Li Xiao beside him: "Are you sure people live in this place?" ”

There are shrubs here, as if no one has ever been here, Li Xiao nodded and confirmed: "This is a master." Tempers are always a little weird. And this master never goes out of the island, and the road is not repaired, maybe it is nothing to him. ”

Ning Tiancheng didn't understand pharmacology, and the surroundings were full of rare medicinal herbs, but he couldn't understand it, so it was easy to get out of the dense jungle, and there was only one day in front of him to walk, but now he walked calmly, and after a while, he arrived at a towering tree.

This hundred-year-old tree has long been hollowed, the annual rings have long been eroded by the years, only a little mottled trunk around it supports the heroic posture of this century-old tree, and the center was broken open as a door, Ning Tiancheng frowned and disgusted the simplicity here, not so much simple as primitive, too primitive.

He really couldn't imagine how anyone could live in a tree hole, and what was the difference between living in a cave and living in a cave.

He began to itch again, and he twisted his body twice, relieved the itching for a while, and then motioned to Li Xiao to knock on the door with his eyes.

Li Xiao knocked on the door and found that no one responded, so he tried to push the door open in fear, but there was nothing in the door, only an old man who was too old to tell his age was sitting there, leaning over, and the crutches in his hand were not a mortal thing at first glance.

The most strange thing is that the person's clothes are old and mottled bark, and the messy hair has not been cleaned for a long time, Ning Tiancheng entered with a frown, Xu is the room does not see the sun all day long, he only feels that there is always a damp smell in this room,

"You're the so-called miracle doctor?"

Ning Tiancheng thought that people were so mysterious, he had always respected Luo Yi first and then people, this Ning Tiancheng looked at the tattered clothes that this person was wearing, and the masters in Ning Tiancheng's impression were all immortal wind bones, and their medical skills could change their destiny, at least they would not let themselves be so sloppy.

"Old decay is not."

The man spoke, his whole body was in the shadows, Ning Tiancheng couldn't see his appearance clearly, he only remembered that his voice was hoarse and ugly, like an old man who had lived for hundreds of years, it seemed that the light outside flashed his eyes, and the man always squinted, never looked at these two people with his eyes.

Li Xiao never spoke, the last time he came, it was a little boy who replied, and there was a serious house here at that time, how did he come this time, it was like this.

When Ning Tiancheng heard that someone said no, he turned around and left, pointed to the broken house impatiently, and scolded Li Xiao: "What kind of miracle doctor are you looking for, ah?" It's better to pull a doctor on the street. ”

"Young Master, it wasn't like this last time I came, the last time I talked to me was a little boy, and it was also in a courtyard, how could it be like this this time."

When Ning Tiancheng heard this, he looked back suspiciously, and guessed: "This island is so big, how can this one person live, there should be someone else, right?" ”

Li Xiao nodded at this and said, "Then the eldest young master, let's go to the other side of the island to have a look." ”

Ning Tiancheng nodded when he heard this, and the two of them wandered around the island for a long time, not knowing that they had already been targeted.

After walking for a while, the two of them vaguely saw the blue bricks and white tiles between the red plums, and as soon as Ning Tiancheng saw this, he immediately came to his senses and went to the front.

Walked to a solemn gate, imprinted into the eyes of the word Xuantian magnificent, seeing this, Ning Tiancheng felt that he had come to the right place, immediately tidied up his appearance, and walked over with his head held high.

The four people guarding the door had already seen Ning Tiancheng's arrival, the man squinted his eyes, and said to the people around him, "That's it?" ”

"Yes, the master said let him in."

"Without the master's approval, he probably won't even be able to walk the old locust tree in front of him, so how can he find our place. Wait here, and I'll go up and ask. ”

After saying this, the little guy stepped forward, blocked Ning Tiancheng's way and asked, "Who is visiting?" ”

"Young Master Ben is the eldest young master of the General's Mansion, and he specially came here to ask for a divine doctor."

"See?"

The words of this little guy's rhetorical question made Ning Tian understand the establishment of the horse, only to see Ning Tian set up the horse and motioned to this Li Xiao to hand over the silver on his back, and the little guy accepted the silver, resisted on his shoulder, and then led the person in.

"Don't walk around, our divine doctor has planted a lot of precious medicinal herbs all around, if you step on it, the divine doctor will be angry, and I won't even see you in person."

Ning Tiancheng also noticed that the flower beds around him, the potted plants were all planted with medicinal herbs and flowers that he didn't know, the so-called this is a request for people, so he naturally listened to these words, and didn't even look around.

There is a beautiful pavilion in the middle of the lake, connected by several plum blossom piles located at the bottom of the water to the pavilion, the little guy will automatically retreat when he reaches here, Ning Tiancheng saw an ethereal man in white sitting in the pavilion from a distance, he thought that the divine doctor should be a person with a white beard, how can this divine doctor be so young, walking in, it seems that he is younger than himself.

Plum blossoms were planted everywhere here, all kinds of plum blossoms, and there were snowflakes on the petals that had not yet melted, and the man left the flower rain pavilion and walked slowly.

I don't know why, Ning Tiancheng felt that this person had a kind of nobility that people couldn't look at directly, extremely noble, and the moment he threw his sleeves and sat down, there was an illusion of surrender, he tried hard to suppress this strange illusion in his heart, and said respectfully: "Presumably you are a miracle doctor." ”

The man didn't reply to his words, but the boy next to the man said, "This is the divine doctor you want to see, what symptoms do you have quickly, our divine doctor's patience is not very good." ”

Ning Tiancheng nodded again and again and stretched out his arm, the little boy thought that he wanted the divine doctor to take his pulse, but he saw that Ning Tiancheng rolled up his sleeves and leaked out the redness and itching on the surface of his skin.
