Chapter 5 Potou Village
Hua Zhinian only comes up to the mountain once a few months, but every time he comes, he brings some fresh food, and he has a great appetite for the holy doctor. Wu Jinghong thought about it carefully, although it was not as exaggerated as the holy doctor said, Hua Zhinian did not go up the mountain for a while.
"Maybe it's something tricky, don't worry, we'll wait." Hua Zhinian is the only way for them to contact Yamashita, and every time they come, they can always talk about some changes in the world. For example, the disappearance of the dancing idiot of Yunguo, the death of the princess of Yunguo, and the fall of the emperor and queen of Yunguo one after another, these things are closely related to her......
A tingling pain in her chest reminded her, and she hurriedly gathered her mind, and in the past three years, her memory of the original owner has become clearer and clearer, and the scenes she saw in her dreams have become clearer and clearer, and she often can't tell which one she is dancing after waking up. Even emotions such as joy, anger and sorrow are closely affected by the memory of the original owner.
"Dance Jinghong, dance Jinghong, maybe this is my third life, once died of illness, once died of poison, this time ......" Wu Jinghong muttered to himself, looking around, and his heart was a little sad.
"People in the world often say that there are only three things, this time, is it my last chance?"
When Jiuzun hurriedly rushed up the mountain, he vaguely heard such a murmur. His heart jumped, and he looked at it, Wu Jinghong was bathed in the faint sunset, although he was still the image of a dying old man, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure, "Hongyun? β
Wu was shocked and suddenly came back to his senses, and wondered, "Who is Hongyun?" β
"It's an old friend of mine who I haven't seen in a long time." Jiuzun smiled heartily and said, "I always feel that you are very similar to her, after you detoxify, how about I take you to her?" β
"Hehe, it's good, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait a long time." Wu Jinghong chuckled, "Although the Holy Doctor has suppressed my poison, he has not yet found a cure for the poison. β
Hearing this, Jiuzun raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "What do you think I came here for today?" β
"Could it be ......" Mai said expectantly, her eyes widened in surprise, "You've already found out the source of this poison?" β
"Hey, after three years, I finally lived up to expectations!" Jiuzun arched his hand towards Wu Jinghong, looking very proud, "Hua Zhinian, that guy must not be as fast as me, and he hasn't dealt with a lot of his own affairs yet!" I have to take you to the Rain Country to detoxify at this time. β
"To the Rain Country?" Wu Jinghong said in surprise, "Why are you hiding from the third senior brother?" β
Jiuzun rubbed his nose and snorted, "Whoever is avoiding him is too busy himself, and I have worked hard to get this news, so I can't let him take the credit." β
Speaking carefully, I have to thank his relentless imperial brother for giving him such a task, giving him the opportunity to contact the people of the Rain Country, and only then did he find out a little news.
"Ahem, ahem! In that case, what are you still doing in a daze? β
The holy doctor didn't know when he sat on the rocking chair next to him, and the old chair made a "creaking" sound, "Time waits for no one, Xiao Wu, you better go early!" β
"But Master, you ......"
"The old woman doesn't have to worry about you, the old woman has been here alone for so many years." The holy doctor got up slowly, dragged his legs and walked into the stone house, "But I still have to do acupuncture tonight just in case, so you can leave early tomorrow morning!" β
Wu Jinghong silently lowered his hand, having nothing to say. Her master knew her desire for detoxification the most, and she studied hard for the past three years as if she had returned to school, studying the acupuncture method taught by the Holy Doctor and studying the book of medicine and poison herself, just to recover her health as soon as possible.
"Yes, Master." She didn't want to drag it out any longer, not for a moment!
Jiuzun followed behind her and whispered, "How do you call you Xiao Wu?" Aren't you ranked fourth among the disciples of the Holy Doctor? β
Wu Jinghong smiled faintly, "Because of the five-tone dance, and the number four is really unlucky for me, the master changed it to a small five for me." β
"Oh, that's a good fit."
Jiuzun watched Wu Jinghong walk into the basement, his bright eyes shone slightly, and his thin lips whispered, "Little Five, Little Four, your fate is just predestined ......"
The mustache fell into a bun and shook the oars, and the lotus picking went out of the Qingjiang River at night. Gu Ying made an appointment with Liuping, and the dream song was not completed.
It was the end of spring, and a few days before it had rained, the mountains were dyed a vivid green. The mountains are foggy, especially in such an early morning, the ribbon-like mist is hazy and hazy in the forest, and the dappled sunlight gently sprinkles down, and the two take care of each other, adding a lot of moving poetry to the mountain forest.
A dilapidated carriage made a "rattling" sound as it passed through the forest path, and the only horse looked emaciated, with a dirty mane, and most of his eyes were covered by long, drooping eyelashes, so that everyone who saw it could not help but worry whether he would not be able to see the road clearly.
"Little Wu, it's almost time to Potou Village, do you want to rest for a while?" It was Jiuzun who was driving the horse in front of the car, but he was dressed as a medical boy at the moment, an old hat almost covered his entire face, and even his wide clothes were in tatters.
In the car, Wu Jinghong barely held on to his sore waist, and said softly, "It's time to take a break, let's take a look at the countermeasures discussed yesterday......
"Oh, haha, I'm really wronged by you, but now the world is too chaotic, we can only act in such a low-key manner." Jiuzun turned around to help Wu Jinghong out of the car, and said a little embarrassed, "You have also seen this way, all the refugees we met are small groups, if we don't dress up like this, we are afraid that we will be stopped and robbed by those people." β
Wu Jinghong waved his hand, "I'm fine, I've almost been recuperated by Master's silver needle this year, but it's the first time I've traveled a long distance, so it takes time to get used to it." Your concerns are right, it's important that we get safe. β
After taking two steps to relieve the pain in his waist, Wu Jinghong said, "This Potou Village is a village on the border of Yunguo, right?" Is it inappropriate to go at this time? β
"You don't have to worry about this, Potou Village is located on the bank of the Liang River, which is a mountain village on the border of Yun Country, and we will go to Ju Country through it. I've already inquired, Potou Village has a complex terrain, so it has not been affected by a large-scale war, and it is quite safe there. Jiuzun casually pulled a tail grass in his mouth, and sat in front of the car ruffianly.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid there will be more refugees there." Wu Jinghong frowned, "Refugees have nowhere to go, they will definitely look for a safe place, at this time, Potou Village is afraid that it is overcrowded, and it is not easy for us to pass through there." β
ββ¦β¦ It's okay to take a diversion, but it's a detour that makes your body ......."
"You don't have to be rerouted." "Let's go to Potou Village!" β
Jiuzun straightened up and wondered, "Why?" β
"Don't you know that after years of war, it will be accompanied by diseases and natural disasters. There are countless examples of villages wiped out by plagues after the war, especially in villages like Potou, which are prone to gathering refugees. Since we are also passing by, it is better to stop by to show them, although I am not good at medicine now, but I also want to do some small part for them. β
Hearing this, Jiuzun shouted in his heart, and he knew that he loved the country and the people!
As Wu Jinghong expected, Potou Village was flooding with refugees at this time. Although there are no condolences and alms organized by the government, there are many Zhuangzi who are high-ranking officials and nobles who distribute food and clothing because they are not harassed by refugees. Because of the complex terrain and the abundance of mountains and forests, it is easy to find enough to satisfy your stomach and even find some herbs.
It's just that after seeing the crowds of refugees with his own eyes, Wu Jinghong realized that he still thought too simply.
Although I imagined the images of countless refugees in my mind, I ignored these peopleβchildren, a group of thirty or forty children, all of whom were yellow-skinned and poorly clothed. The head, which looked particularly large because of its thinness, stared at the messy hair, and the most obvious thing on the face was the eyes, the sockets were sunken, the eyeballs were protruding, and the eyes were full of fear and fierceness.
"Don't look, don't worry, with me, it won't hurt you." Jiuzun didn't look back, and knew that Wu Jinghong was frightened by these people, he spit out the grass in his mouth, his eyes were lowered, and he leaned down and reached out to tear down the curtains in the car. He gently patted Wu Jinghong's shoulder, "Don't be afraid, in front of them, you are a doctor who can save people's lives, and they will not hurt you." β
Wu Jinghong steadied his breathing, his hands still trembling uncontrollably, "Let you see you laugh." β
Jiuzun couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, but saw a little girl in the crowd on the side of the road suddenly rush out, short halfway, and rolled straight under the wheels.
"Phewβ"
"Ahh
When Jiuzun was reining in the horse, the crowd was in an uproar, screams and cries suddenly sounded, and some refugees who were watching from a distance also gathered around, shouting loudly, "Kill someone!" Someone's coming, killing someone! β
Jiuzun squinted his eyes and looked around, and suddenly realized that the dance in the car was gone!
"It's not a small skill to kidnap people behind me......" Jiuzun curled the corners of his lips, slowly stood up, looked down at the crowd around the carriage, and gradually locked his eyes on the thin figure who had just crawled out from under the carriage.
When the dizziness in her head passed, Wu Jinghong hadn't figured out where she was, but she knew very well who had taken her from the carriage.
"Are you awake?"
Wu Jinghong slowly turned his head, only to find that he was lying on a hard bed, and next to him sat a middle-aged man, with neat hair and five black hair, dressed in a clean and simple green robe, with a soft and kind face, looking at him with a smile.
"Your Excellency is ......" Wu Jinghong was shocked in his heart, but his face was puzzled. She didn't dare to determine whether the person in front of her knew her true identity, although the news of the death of the princess of Yunguo spread all over the world, but it could not be ruled out that there were still people who knew the inside story, otherwise what would this person do by kidnapping an old lady dressed in shabby clothes?
"Subordinate Qin Yin, participate in Her Royal Highness the Princess." The man didn't say a word, he got up directly, lifted his robe and hugged his fists and bowed, "My subordinates have a task in their bodies, so they are hiding in this Potou village, but a few days ago, I got news that Her Royal Highness the princess has gone down the mountain, and with a very amazing person." β
ββ¦β¦ Qin Yin? Wu Jinghong froze, searching for the name in her mind but found nothing, but the other party's familiar appearance made her dare not show too many expressions, "I'm old now, and my memory is not very good." β
"Heh, Her Royal Highness the princess, don't be impatient, your subordinates once had a relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess, and they were in General Mao's mansion." Qin Yin still smiled faintly.
