Chapter 10 Tree Lights
Dahan hesitated for a moment, but finally retreated.
Wu Jinghong's face was upright, as if he was arguing with reason, but the hand holding the horsewhip was trembling slightly. The person wrapped in the blanket was Si Luo, yes, she had already smelled the slightest trace of blood, and his wound must have been cracked!
"Where are you going?" Dahan was not ready to let him go easily, and his eyes staring at Wu Jinghong were still as alert as a hunter.
"In the past few days, I heard that the Golden and Silver City is offering a heavy reward for folk doctors, so we want to go there to have a look."
"Gold and Silver City? This news has indeed just arrived......"
The two big men looked at each other again, and then leaned slightly, "In that case, we won't get in the way of your wealth." ”
Jiuzun, who was lurking in the dark with bated breath, couldn't help but roll his eyes, knowing that it was the wealth that had been in the way for so long, it was really boring.
Wu Jinghong nodded slightly, raised his whip and drove the carriage all the way down the mountain.
Walking around the mountain, the bumps continued, and Wu Jinghong did not dare to relax, looking at the road ahead, and listening to the sound behind the car.
It wasn't until the familiar sound of "tsk" sounded in her ears that she was sure that the crisis was over.
"The Emperor of Ju is really generous, he has released a team of golden guards!" Jiuzun smacked his tongue.
"You said those people are Ju Guo Jinwei?" Wu Jinghong asked in surprise, glancing at Si Luo, who was still shrunk in the blanket, "It seems that I still think too simply." ”
Jiuzun squinted and smiled, and continued, "Those two boys were injured, and I threw them back. ”
"Treading the stars and Fuchen? Are they badly injured? There is no doctor in Potou Village who can treat their wounds, so if they are left there......"
Wu Jinghong's voice gradually lowered, and she heard the sound of Si Luo turning over, "Si Luo? ”
"Uh-huh......"
Almost out of between his teeth*, Wu Jinghong's eyes lit up, he threw the horsewhip to Jiuzun, turned around and got into the car.
"The wound is inflamed, he has a fever!" Wu Jinghong said almost in a commanding tone, "Jiuzun, speed up and go to the Golden and Silver City!" ”
The Gold and Silver City, as the name suggests, is an ancient city with rolling wealth, located at the junction of Shuo and Ju, but it does not belong to any country. It is only because of its internal mixture, all kinds of forces have their own veins to operate here, commonly known as "Jiaotan".
"Let's take a look! The lord of the castle has put a big bounty on you! Doctors from all walks of life are invited to show their magical powers and treat the evil diseases of the city lord's wife! ”
The dilapidated carriage passed silently in the noisy city, and Wu Jinghong lifted the corner of the curtain, and his eyes swept over the notice. This city lord of the gold and silver city is really wealthy, and the reward is actually 10,000 taels of gold, and I don't know what kind of evil illness this city lord's wife has, and it has been several days since the notice came out, but she still hasn't been cured.
"It's time for the inn." Jiuzun turned over and went to the ground, opened the door curtain and saw that Si Luo's stinky boy was sleeping peacefully, but Wu Jinghong was leaning against the window.
It's long overdue to throw this stinky boy out of the car. Jiuzun muttered to himself, but when he looked at Wu Jinghong's gaze, he instantly turned into a smile, "Go, please eat something delicious!" ”
Wu Jinghong shook his head tiredly, "He just has a fever and still needs needle treatment, help me bring him to the room and you can go and rest." ”
Jiuzun snorted lightly and said reluctantly, "If you don't rest, how can you go and treat the city lord's wife!" ”
Hearing this, Wu was shocked and laughed, "I can't guarantee that the city lord's wife's evil disease can be cured, besides, look at this long queue-"
The entrance to the inn where they stopped was the end of the line, and as for the beginning of the line, it was invisible.
"Even if I start queuing now, I may not be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion after waiting for two or three days." Every folk doctor must go through the whole set of procedures of "looking, hearing, asking, and cutting", and when all the team goes in and walks through, I am afraid it will take three or five days.
I hope that the illness of the city lord's wife will not be delayed by so many people. Thinking like this, Wu Jinghong entered the room with the support of the enthusiastic Xiao Er.
"Is there anything else you need from the guest officer?"
"Please get a bucket of hot water." Wu Jinghong wiped Si Luo's sweat, and then took out the silver needle to prepare for the consultation.
"Huh? Guest, are you a doctor? Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face was difficult for people to understand.
"Yes, but I'm not a miracle doctor, and I'm not sure of everything." Wu Jinghong smiled lightly, "The evil disease of the city lord's wife has her own capable person to solve it. ”
"Ah......" Xiao Er's eyes became more and more eager, "Doctor, don't think so, our city lord said that anyone who understands medical skills can give it a try, the more the better!" And in the end, all the doctors who have contributed will share the gold equally! ”
"More is better? What is the rationale for this? "Wouldn't it be possible for many people who are greedy for money to make up for it?
"Hey! Doctor, don't you know, if the city lord's wife has a headache and brain fever, the city lord will nervously call the whole city doctor, every year, every time he shoots, it is at least a hundred taels of gold. In my opinion, this time Mrs. Bacheng broke down somewhere......"
Listening to Xiao Er's words, Wu Jinghong said with a little amusement, "Then didn't everyone in the city go to study medicine?" "Anyone who knows a little bit of fur can take the opportunity to make money, and a fool won't do it.
"Where can this be, the people of our Gold and Silver City, the most important thing is gold." Xiao Er threw the towel over his shoulder, "So every time I am attracted by this condition, it is usually from other places." ”
This time, Wu Jinghong was really going to be stunned, "Then what are your intentions in making a living in this city?" Isn't it just to make money? ”
"Huh? It seems that this is the first time you have come here, doctor, which country are you from? Xiao Er looked at her suspiciously, "We don't charge money when we open the door to do business, all we receive is favors." ”
That's not unusual! Wu Jinghong blinked, she really didn't know much about this gold and silver city, and today was the first time she stepped in, so she didn't even know this kind of "common sense". It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a whole city of people who are not greedy for money or profit, and only do business to collect favors.
"Hey, so doctor, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion for a trip, and the small one will give you a wake-up call." Xiao Er neatly set up Si Luo on the bed, and just now Jiu Zun threw Si Luo in like a sack and threw it on the bed.
"Okay, thank you, I'll keep an eye on it."
It's really a strange place, at first it was said that there were many fish and dragons here, and there were many evil forces, and I thought that the people here were all fierce. Now it seems that this lord of the city has domesticated the people of this city very well! Wu Jinghong's eyes were clear and smiling, such an environment was good, and it also showed that the strength of the city lord was not weak.
Soon, Wu Jinghong was shocked by this gold and silver city again.
"Little Wu, it's time to eat." Before the sound of people arrived, Jiuzun held a plate in one hand, which was filled with food smoothly and steadily, and opened the door with a light tap on his toes.
Wu Jinghong slowly put away the silver needle and exhaled a long breath.
"You don't rest for a while, it's getting dark." Jiuzun muttered slightly complainingly.
"It's dark?" Wu Jinghong looked at it suspiciously, there was no light in the room, but the light did not weaken at all.
"No, you don't want to see what time it is." Jiuzun said as he pulled Wu Jinghong to the table and sat down, "Come and try it, the most famous thing in the Golden and Silver City is the side dishes of the inn, which are so delicious!" ”
Wu Jinghong was a little embarrassed, she didn't have to taste it, she could see that these dishes were too flavorful - the red reflective color, wasn't this a meal prepared for her, an "old woman"? She might as well continue to nibble on dry food!
But Jiuzun looked very interested, and Wu Jinghong was not easy to interrupt, she pretended to stretch her neck to look out the window, "But where does this look like it's dark......"
What she saw in front of her made her forget to close her mouth, and countless sky lanterns floated in the sky outside, illuminating the entire gold and silver city, and even the sky reflected was glowing.
There is also the street downstairs, and every other stretch there is a large slender tree with bright tree lights hanging on it.
"This ......" Isn't this the street lamp she would only see in the world of her previous life?
"How? Amazing, right? Jiuzun said with a shake of his tongue while eating the food with a hiss, "These are all unique designs, and it is said that they are all from the hands of the city lord of the Gold and Silver City. ”
"What is the origin of this city lord?"
"This is also simple, his father is a person who went out from Shuo Country, and he came here to gather a group of forces as early as thirty years ago, when the current city lord was not born." Seeing that she was very interested, Jiuzun also stopped his chopsticks and took a sip of tea.
"Speaking of which, I still know this city lord as an old acquaintance, I met him when I was a child, and he showed unusual wisdom at that time."
"Oh?" Wu Jinghong was even more curious, "It can make you feel that it is an unusual wisdom, and it seems that it is indeed outstanding." ”
Jiuzun laughed and said, "Why don't I take you to meet him, okay?" However, after hearing that he married a wife, he became a little ...... Weird. ”
"I've heard this, it's just a symptom of some wives and slaves, it's not weird."
"Wife and slave?" Jiuzun blinked.
"Literally." Wu Jinghong was not ready to explain more, "If you want to see you and wait for tomorrow, I'm really tired." ”
Through a screen, Si Luo was still sleeping soundly, and Wu Jinghong and Jiuzun silently finished their meal and went back to their rooms.
Closing the heavy curtains to block out all the light outside, Wu Jinghong closed his eyes and waited for a while before he adjusted to the darkness in front of him.
Lying on the bed tossing and turning, all the bones in protest, she refused to fall asleep.
Could this city lord with great powers also be the one who has crossed over?
But even if it is, what can it be? The most important thing for her at the moment is to detoxify and live.
She didn't even think about going back to the world of her previous life, after all, she was really terminally ill and facing death there.
At least here, she is still a princess of noble status.
At least here, she doesn't have to worry about money.
Here, at least, she still has a few decades of hope for her life!
What about troubled times? She's going to live her life here!
In the dark room, the sound of breathing gradually deepened and gradually stabilized.
Jiuzun, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, had his dark eyes reflected a different kind of light by the light.
Princess Yunguo, see you again after many years, but you have forgotten me completely! This trip to the rain country, whether you can really come back alive, let me wait and see!
