Chapter 640: Bandits

Listening to Xingyu's meaning, the breakfast there was delicious, so Lin Xuanzhong planned to leave after breakfast. After staying on the mountain for one night, half of the aura that belonged to martial arts on Lin Xuanzhong's body disappeared, and now he looked more like an ordinary person.

When Lin Xuanzhong still deliberately restrained his breath, the grandfather and grandson did not feel any discomfort. If it weren't for Lin Xuanzhong saying that he was a general just now, Elder Hu would have completely regarded Lin Xuanzhong as the most ordinary martial artist. However, even though Lin Xuanzhong had introduced himself, Hu Lao still didn't believe that Lin Xuanzhong was a general, because in Hu Lao's opinion, Lin Xuanzhong didn't look like a person with blood on his hands at all.

Before they knew it, the three of them walked to the only teahouse. Far away, the shopkeeper who was both a shopkeeper and a companion left the other customers and hurried over to greet Hu Lao.

"Old Hu, you're here," the shopkeeper was obviously not much younger than Old Hu, but the respect in his tone was surprising.

"Old Hu, who is this?" After Old Hu nodded casually, the shopkeeper looked at Lin Xuanzhong with an enthusiastic face.

"A guest," no matter what Lin Xuanzhong's identity was, Hu Lao didn't plan to focus on the introduction, and his sentence was concise and clear.

"It turned out to be a rare customer, please come inside" The shopkeeper smiled warmly and greeted Lin Xuanzhong, and then made a gesture of invitation to Hu Lao.

Following Hu Lao, Lin Xuanzhong, who was wondering why the shopkeeper was so polite to Hu Lao, saw that the shopkeeper personally arranged a table for them, and more importantly, those who were waiting to eat or buy things had no opinion on the shopkeeper's behavior, but greeted Hu Lao warmly.

With such the same scene, it was not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to guess that Hu Lao must have very high medical ethics and was very respected in the village, thinking that there might be only one doctor around the village. In any case, the enthusiasm of those people had already made Lin Xuanzhong feel uncomfortable.

Unlike Lin Xuanzhong, Xingyu was very adaptable to the situation in front of him, and he happily asked the shopkeeper to eat. Immediately after that, the shopkeeper brought breakfast to him as soon as possible, and then went to entertain the other guests.

After the shopkeeper was busy, Xingyu asked Lin Xuanzhong to taste the taste of the buns.

Looking at the hot buns, Lin Xuanzhong was not polite, and took one to taste, and sure enough, it was full of color, flavor, and taste. Based on the fact that Wu Xiu's appetite was originally larger than that of ordinary people, Lin Xuanzhong ate nearly ten buns in one go, more than Hu Lao and Xingyu ate together.

Compared with the breakfast in the barracks, the current steamed buns are more delicious, and Lin Xuanzhong quickly thought about how this only teahouse could be opened.

After breakfast, Hu Lao wanted to take Xingyu to the village chief's house in his village, which was a base for ordinary treatment, and this was the case in every village. Unless there are some seriously ill villagers who can't walk, Hu Lao and Xingyu will personally go to people's homes to see people. In short, Hu Lao has been committed to protecting the health of the villagers for many years, and he does not need money to see a doctor.

Based on the reason that Hu Lao does not ask for anything in return, those villagers naturally like Hu Lao more, so usually the villagers will spontaneously do something for Hu Lao, and Hu Lao and Xingyu's eating, drinking and use do not need to worry about Hu Lao, which is enough to see from the fact that Hu Lao lives in the middle of the mountain and does not have to worry about eating and drinking.

Originally, he planned to leave after eating, but after seeing the attitude of those villagers towards Hu Lao, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to see Hu Lao's medical skills again, so he and his grandson went to the village chief's house.

Like the shopkeeper just now, the village chief was also very enthusiastic when he received Hu Lao. As the most respected person in the whole village, the village chief himself and Hu Lao are still friends, and Hu Lao's behavior in the village chief's house is even more casual, as if he is in his own home.

A room, a table, two chairs, the village chief prepared for Hu Lao The room layout is very simple, Hu Lao is here to consult the villagers, all kinds of major and minor diseases and even incurable diseases, as long as Hu Lao can be diagnosed, they can be treated, unless it is some terminal disease. But the villagers living at the foot of the mountain rarely get terminally ill, so Hu Lao's medical skills can be regarded as a cure-all.

In addition, according to Hu Lao, in fact, it is not that he has superb medical skills, but the medicinal materials used are too good, and the use of those medicines picked in the mountains to treat the villagers is considered overkill, so it is not uncommon for medicine to get rid of diseases, but if Hu Lao's medicinal materials are used for martial arts to cure diseases, it will not have such a good effect.

It is understandable that Wu Xiu's physique is stronger than ordinary people, so if a martial artist is sick and injured, it will also be more difficult to treat than ordinary people, so even if Hu Lao is often not in his residence, no one will steal medicinal materials. And Hu Lao's residence, except for the villagers under the mountain, few people know.

After Hu Lao made a brief preparation in the house, after that, the people who came to see the doctor outside had already lined up, although their complexions were not very good, but without exception, they did not have that kind of solemn look on their faces, and they seemed to believe that as long as they showed Hu Lao, their illness could be cured, which was also a surprise to Lin Xuanzhong.

Then when Hu Lao asked for a consultation, Lin Xuanzhong looked at it more carefully, from Hu Lao taking the pulse to finally prescribing medicine, one after the other, Hu Lao only said a few words about the condition, so that the patient knew why he was sick and what kind of effect the medicine would have. Hu Lao's words and deeds reveal an indescribable kindness, like a saint.

It is worth mentioning that when Hu Lao was diagnosing people, he completely changed his usual demeanor, his face was serious, and there was a kind of majestic momentum in his demeanor, which really made Lin Xuanzhong feel extraordinary.

After a period of time, Lin Xuanzhong heard a lot of things about medical skills, and of course there was still a long way to go before he learned medical skills.

Those who see a doctor know that Hu Lao does not charge, and one by one they make their own snacks as a reward, whenever Hu Lao refuses, they always say that it is for Xingyu to eat, but because Xingyu is not strong, Hu Lao can only let Xingyu call the shots.

After Xingyu took out all the medicinal materials in his medicine box and turned to fill it with snacks, Lin Xuanzhong finally knew the true effect of the medicine box that Xingyu was carrying. After Xingyu put in several snacks in a row, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but be envious, but unfortunately he could only look at it.

Half an hour later, Hu Lao's diagnosis ended at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and the people who had come to see the doctor took the medicinal materials given by Hu Lao or instructed them to go back for treatment. In the blink of an eye, dozens of patients were gone. After a brief clean-up, Hu Lao planned to go to the second village immediately, and Lin Xuanzhong also planned to leave at the entrance of the village.

Although it is very comfortable to stay with the grandfather and grandson, the affairs of the army cannot be left alone. When the village chief sent a few people to the door, a few villagers who had just come to see the doctor ran towards them in a panic with medicinal herbs.

"Village chief, no, some bandits from the village are making trouble in the teahouse, and they want us to call you over," the few people who were talking and laughing heard the villagers' shouts, and their expressions froze.

The next time, Hu Laotong, the village chief, looked at the entrance of the village with a frown, and the eyes of the two were full of doubts. There are only a few villages around Chongshan Village, and the villagers rely on farming to barely solve the problem of food and clothing, and they have not been able to attract the attention of the bandits. Today, a group of bandits came unexpectedly, and while Hu Lao and others were surprised, Hu Lao and the others were more worried about how to deal with it.

"How many of them are there?" The behavior of the villagers made the village chief realize that a few people were not joking, and in a panic, the village chief had to pretend to be calm and asked.

"There are dozens of people, I heard that they have sent people to other villages, so that other village chiefs can come to the teahouse," the villagers had already rushed to the front in a panic, not caring for breath, and one of them hurriedly explained the situation to the village chief.

"What?" exclaimed the head of Chongshan Village, his voice revealing fear. For the first time in many years, bandits had arrived in the village, and the village chief didn't know how to deal with them.

"Elder Hu, you take Xingyu and this guest back in advance, I'll go over there to see what's going on!"

"Old guy, what are you talking about, is there trouble in the village, can I still assume that I don't know?" Hu Lao responded unceremoniously, saying that there was a little more seriousness on his face, obviously Hu Lao was not afraid, but he still wanted to go.

Xingyu on the side grabbed Hu Lao's sleeve and deliberately leaned against Lin Xuanzhong, looking scared. Maybe Xingyu didn't know what a bandit was, but the atmosphere in front of him was enough to make Xingyu feel scared.

"Lin Xiaoyou, didn't you say you wanted to go back before, now you just go in this direction, and ask for directions when you get to the city, and the old man won't send you," as soon as he turned around, Hu Lao pointed out a direction to Lin Xuanzhong with a serious face, probably because Lin Xuanzhong was too ordinary, and at the critical moment, Hu Lao didn't expect Lin Xuanzhong to help them, but was worried about Lin Xuanzhong's safety.

"I'll go take a look too," shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong noticed the gaze that Xingyu expected him to leave, no matter how many of those bandits there were, and what their intentions were, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't ignore Xingyu.

"Lin Xiaoyou, Lao Yu has kindly persuaded you to leave, if something happens to you and the past, don't complain about Lao Yu when the time comes," the matter was urgent, Hu Lao didn't want to say anything more to Lin Xuanzhong, then turned around and looked at the village chief and said, "Let's go over quickly." ”

"Well," the village chief of Chongshan Village nodded, looked at Lin Xuanzhong with a somewhat strange expression, and then took the lead towards the teahouse, and the villagers followed.

After a while, the group walked to the teahouse, and many people had gathered around the teahouse. After seeing the village chief and Hu Lao coming, the villagers surrounding the teahouse consciously moved out of the way. By the time a few people walked inside, the tables in the teahouse were no longer as neat as before, and now except for the middle table, the other tables were scattered, and it seemed that those bandits had already made trouble.

The villagers gathered around the teahouse trembled one by one, and were very afraid of the bandits inside, probably those bandits asked them to stay here, so they did not leave despite being very scared.
