Chapter 20: Danger (Part I)
Although he made the worst plan for the trip to Rongnan, after being in it, An Youran still had to admit that all kinds of dangers were still greatly unexpected by himself; The situation is also as the old man Qingxi predicted before leaving, with the emperor officially edict to the world, calling King Jin a traitor and rebelling party, and vowing to set foot in Rongnan within a month, after razing the palace of King Jin to the ground, the whole war is about to open the curtain, and it has become an inevitable foregone conclusion.
Such an anxious situation naturally made An Youran and his party anxious, and they couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly back to Rongnan immediately. But the big and small checkpoints along the road really made it difficult for them to move forward. In order to block the supply of troops to King Jin, the court increased the blockade of Rongnan. Along the way, all kinds of checks and layers of strict precautions forced them not only to disguise themselves as disgraced refugees in order to hide people's eyes, but also to choose some remote and remote mountain trails to walk. The distance that should have been reached in three or four days was doubled, and it didn't arrive. Moreover, as Rongnan approached, the danger index also increased sharply in proportion, and more and more Dayu soldiers appeared in their field of vision as if they were showing their fierceness, and even more almost regarded them as spies with bad intentions to correct the Fa on the spot. Fortunately, he was able to turn danger into a disaster at a critical juncture and keep everyone safe so far.
But in the face of the yellow sand and dust raised from all sides at the same time at this moment, An Youran truly realized the meaning of 'powerless to return to the sky'. I thought that walking this deserted deep country road is not only more hidden than the official road, but also safer and more appropriate. Unbeknownst to him, he had not yet set foot on this land for more than half an hour when he heard a deafening war horse roaring towards him. Before they could react, they were caught in an urn by a well-equipped Dayu Iron Horseman, and surrounded them cleanly.
"Who are you!?" Several large knives with flickering cold light and words fell on An Youran's necks at the same time, and an officer and soldier with a beard on his face shouted murderously, "What are you doing here?!" ”
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, military master!" Yu Guang glanced at Xiao Yue's hand that was touching the weapon on his waist, An Youran was shocked, and hurriedly held it down quietly, and replied quietly, "We are all villagers of the same village, and we fled from our hometown only because we were afraid of war." Raise your hand high, and let us go! ”
"You say you're refugees?" The bearded man turned over and dismounted, paced around An Youran and the others back and forth with a gloomy face, and suddenly sneered, and reprimanded fiercely, "Bold!" Who the hell are you?! It's not really recruited! To flee, you should run from south to east, from Rongnan to Dayu, but you are from east to south, and you are clearly moving in the direction of Rongnan! In my opinion, you are simply spies sent by Rongnan to try to spy on our military intelligence! Someone's coming! As he spoke, he waved his hands and commanded in a loud voice, "Slaughter these men for me as an example!" ”
Seeing the bright big knife raised into the air, he was about to raise the knife in his hand in an instant, and he had to end up with his head on the ground. Shocked that all the secret guards rose up to resist, and suddenly several big men jumped up from the ground and fought with the officers and soldiers. But even if they are skilled, what can they do? In the face of a large number of officers and soldiers, it is clear that the ending of three punches is difficult to defeat four hands, where can you get half a penny? In a few moments, a few people hung up in the shadow of the sword and sword. Although An Youran is so anxious that she is at a loss, with her three-legged cat's kung fu, she still needs Xiaoyue to take care of her, how can she have the ability to stop it?
However, when more and more bloodstains came into view, An Youran's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Bending down to emerge from Satsuki's protection, she shouted with all her might at the already bloody crowd, "Stop! Stop it! What do you want to know, I'll tell you all the truth, please don't fight! ”
I never thought that someone would dare to interrupt such a chaotic situation, which not only made Dayu's officers and soldiers stunned on the spot, but even the battle-hardened secret guards were stunned. Seeing that the situation finally stopped as he wished, An Youran immediately ran to the beard while the iron was hot and pretended to be frightened and shouted, "Master Jun, Master Jun!" Please let us go! Master, you are wise and powerful, and you really can't escape your fiery eyes if anything happens! It is true that a few of us are not refugees, but we are by no means ill-intentioned. We will appear here, not to be desperate for a long time to die! It's all because of the master who got his head in the water! My master is just a man who hangs the pot to diagnose the pulse, but he prides himself on being a bodhisattva who has the heart of a bodhisattva who understands the world. As soon as he heard that the war between Da Yu and Rongnan was imminent, he forced us to come to this chaotic place as apprentices to see if we could do our best to save a few lives. And the previous lies were all because they were afraid that people would misunderstand and cause inconvenience. We have no disobedience! ”
"Boy! You said a lot of things around the bush, just to say that you are not spies? It's Lang Zhong who is here to heal the sick and save people?! The beard squinted his triangular eyes, grabbed the placket of An Youran's clothes and lifted it up, and roared with a fierce look, "When am I a fool!?" Such far-fetched reasons are also delusional to believe me?! No more nonsense! It doesn't matter if you're a real man or a fake man! Uncle Ben would rather kill the mistake than let it go, and you will definitely see the king of Hades today! ”
But in the face of his fierce expression, An Youran was not only not afraid, but grabbed his wrist and smiled calmly, "Master Jun, if you want to kill us, you are not in a hurry." Meeting is fate, and it's not too late to let the villain diagnose a pulse for you and then send us on the road. Although you look strong and strong, it is a pity that your heart is declining and your water drinking stops. At the beginning, it was just sleepless and dreamy, red eyes and tinnitus, and recently it should have been chest tightness and upset, and the lower limbs were swollen, right? Although this disease seems to be harmless, the symptoms will become more and more obvious over time, which will not only damage people's hearts and pulses, but also eventually hurt their lives! Codonopsis, astragalus, and salvia each need to be six coins; one penny each for psoralen and aconite; Chuanxiong, cinnamon branches, and licorice are each two coins with car money, and they can be eradicated by boiling them with water for one dose a day. ”
I don't know if it's because of An Ran's calm and unchaotic temperament or if there is really such a disease as she described, after listening to it, the beard was stunned for a long time before he asked for confirmation in disbelief, "Are you really Langzhong?" But if that's the case, how can you know kung fu? ”
"What do you say?" An leisurely pulled out his big hand, straightened his clothes and replied with authority, "It's not necessarily that ordinary people also know how to diagnose the pulse and know medical science, and they can also prescribe prescriptions, right?" As for knowing kung fu with fists and feet, the villain dared to ask the last sentence, which royal law stipulates that doctors can't practice martial arts and self-defense? I want to ask the adults for advice! ”
can make An Youran answer so confidently and respectfully, and the old man Qingxi is really indispensable. Thinking that when she stayed in Chaoxi Valley and chatted in every way, she had nothing to do to go to the world's master to chat and pass the time. And the place where we meet the most should be the Danfang of the old man in Qingxi, and it is inevitable that they will talk about some knowledge topics about pharmacology based on local materials. Although the old man Qingxi had no intention of preaching and teaching, he was so curious that he always pestered him to ask questions, so he couldn't help but say a few more words; Second, although he doesn't understand medical skills, but the common sense of modern science and medical treatment still makes An Youran, who was unintentionally mentioned, earn enough face in front of Qingxi. Therefore, the old man Qingxi always likes to go to An Youran to discuss some etiological medical methods, so as to stimulate new ideas. So no matter whether An Youran unintentionally inserted willows into the shade or by mistake, all in all, over time, she actually got a glimpse of the art of disambiguation. Although the water product is not worth mentioning in Chaoxi Valley, in the end, the master is famous, and he doesn't know how much stronger than some Jianghu doctors, let alone use it to bluff those laymen who don't know anything about medical skills!
Xu responded to the sentence 'When things come to the end, you must be bold', and An Youran at this time had already thrown his previous groveling attitude out of the clouds, and came to a reversal. In the face of the beard, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but even his expression was disdainful. Just when everyone was pinching a cold sweat for her arrogance, the bearded but not angry but happy looked up to the sky and smiled, "It seems that Lao Tzu is destined to soar, and luck can't stop it!" Tying up all these people for me and bringing them back to the camp is another great achievement! ”
