Zhuang Hao stopped, turned around and handed the water bag to Yi Chen and said, "Little brother, your body is very weak, drink two sips of water first, and then eat some dry food." ”

"Thank you!" Yi Chen took the water bag and took a sip first, then another after a while. He is well aware that people who are severely dehydrated, although they are thirsty, cannot drink too much at once, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Zhuang Xiaomeng rode a camel up from behind and handed Yi Chen a piece of cake.

Yi Chen glanced at Zhuang Xiaomeng and took the cake. With just one glance, Yi Chen already knew that the girl in front of him was seriously ill, and her time was short, and she couldn't help but feel a feeling of sympathy. Although the girl's face was sickly, she still looked very delicate, and she looked a year or two older than herself.

"Thank you!" Yi Chen took a bite of the cake and said, "My sister is sick?"

Zhuang Xiaomeng nodded and said, "My father and I just wanted to go to the west to find medicine to cure the disease, but I didn't expect to see you fainting in the desert." ”

"Thank you two for saving your life!"

"My name is Zhuang Xiaomeng!" Zhuang Xiaomeng also introduced himself.

"I'm Xiaomeng's father, Zhuang Hao!" Zhuang Hao said.

"Zhuang Hao?" Yi Chen put down the cake and looked at Zhuang Hao a little puzzled, "Fengyun Dao Zhuang Hao?"

Zhuang Hao looked at Yi Chen in a little surprise, he had retired from the rivers and lakes fifteen years ago, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old child in front of him would know his name.

"Exactly!" Zhuang Hao said, "Little brother actually knows my name?"

Yi Chen nodded and said, "Fifteen years ago, Fengyun Dao fought against the generals of the Yu Kingdom, saved thousands of people in Xingjun, and became famous in the southern country. I believe that the people of China will remember your chivalrous name!"

"Ashamed!" Recalling the eventful years in the past, Zhuang Hao was also full of emotion, but now he could only shake his head and sigh.

Yi Chen saw that the wound on Zhuang Hao's left arm was still oozing blood, and the Fengyun Knife was not by his side, so it must have happened recently, so it was inconvenient to ask more.

"Little brother, where are you going, how can you faint in this desert?" Zhuang Hao asked, "You have been lying on the back of a camel for two days. ”

"Like Sister Xiaomeng, I also went to the west to seek medicine and cure my illness. "I don't know how long I've been in a coma." ”

Strange to say, after Yi Chen woke up this time, he felt much better in his mental state than before, and he seemed to have a little strength in his body.

"Brother Yi Chen, then you can go with us. Zhuang Xiaomeng said.

"Okay! Thank you!" Yi Chen said, seeing that Zhuang Hao was also seriously injured, he said: "Zhuang Daxia, you ride a camel, I'll take it!"

"You just woke up, your body is weak, sit first!" Zhuang Hao waved his hand and said, "When you recover, let's change to ride!" By the way, don't call me a hero in the future, if you don't dislike it, just call Uncle Sheng!"

"Okay, then I'll call you Uncle Hao!" Yi Chen said.

Zhuang Hao nodded, and the three of them continued to walk west.

"What kind of disease does Sister Xiaomeng have?

"One of the grandmasters of the Medical Sect said that it was the 'Eighteen Flower Tribulations'. Zhuang Hao said truthfully.

"That requires Liguo's dragon ginseng medicine to be cured. Yi Chen said, "But Liguo dragon ginseng only comes out in a hundred years, and it is hard to find." How old is Sister Xiaomeng?"

"I will be eighteen years old in three months. Zhuang Hao said. He was shocked in his heart, Yi Chen was so young that he would know the method of curing the Eighteen Flower Tribulations. Back then, he searched all over China, and finally learned about this disease from the Grandmaster of the Medical Sect.

"Yi Chen, how did you know about this disease?" Zhuang Hao asked a little puzzled, "I found many famous doctors back then, not to mention the treatment method, and I couldn't even find out what the disease was. ”

"I saw it in a medical book. Yi Chen said, "I know a little about medicine, if I don't give up, I can try to show Sister Xiaomeng." ”

"It's the same end of the world, why not give up or not?" Zhuang Xiaomeng said, she took the initiative to stretch out her arm.

Yi Chen glanced at Zhuang Hao, as if waiting for him to answer.

Zhuang Hao nodded and said, "I'm tired!"

Yi Chen put Zhuang Xiaomeng's left hand on his left palm and used his right index finger and middle finger to check her pulse. Zhuang Xiaomeng's arms are very white, but they are so thin that they are distressing.

Yi Chen listened to the pulse for a while, and then put away his right hand.

"How's that?" Zhuang Hao asked.

"I've only seen a description of this condition in books before, but it's not true enough. After listening to the pulse today, I don't think you have to use dragon ginseng as medicine to be cured. Yi Chen said, "I'm seventy percent sure that I can use other medicinal herbs to replace dragon ginseng into medicine and cure Sister Xiaomeng's illness." ”

"Really?" Zhuang Xiaomeng said in surprise.

"Yi Chen doesn't dare to talk nonsense!" Yi Chen said, "It's just that now that I'm in the desert, there is no way to search for medicinal herbs." We now have two choices, either return to China to find medicinal herbs, or continue westward, through the desert, and go to the mountains and forests to find medicinal herbs. ”

"We have been in the desert for nearly five days, and according to our itinerary, it will take at least ten days to get through this desert land. Zhuang Hao said, "The time to return to China will be relatively short. ”

"Then we'll go back the way we came. Yi Chen said without hesitation. His plan was to come to the desert again after finding medicinal herbs to cure Zhuang Xiaomeng.

"Wait!" Zhuang Xiaomeng felt a little wrong, "Brother Yi Chen, aren't you going to the west to find medicine to cure your illness? If we return to Huaguo, won't it delay your trip?"

Yi Chen smiled and said, "My illness is not so urgent, it is not in the way. ”

Only then did Zhuang Hao realize that he was eager to save his daughter, and he forgot about Yi Chen, and he couldn't help but blame himself a little.

"That can't be done, since you have such attainments in medicine, but you still need to go to the west to find medicine, your illness must be more serious than Xiaomeng's. Zhuang Hao said, "Let's go west together!"

"Yes, Brother Yi Chen, we only need ten days to cross the desert, but I still have three months, which is enough!" Zhuang Xiaomeng said.

"Alright then, let's speed up our journey!" Yi Chen said.

Huaguo, Southern Rite City, City Lord's Mansion.

The father-in-law held the holy decree in his hand, and Chu Xiong, the lord of Licheng, led everyone to kneel on the ground.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Chu Shiyun, the daughter of the city lord of Lili City, is dignified, gentle and virtuous, and is very compatible with the six princes. Today, Chu Shiyun will be married to the sixth prince Ziyan, and the marriage is scheduled to be completed on the eighth day of October. Chin!"

"Long live the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the father-in-law read the holy decree, Chu Xiong got up to accept the decree, then handed it to his entourage and took his father-in-law to the tea hall.

"Congratulations to Uncle Guo! You and the emperor are close to each other!" said the father-in-law with a smile as he walked.

Chu Xiong said with a smile: "Thank you for the grace of my emperor, my father-in-law came to pass the decree!"

After speaking, Chu Xiong handed a red purse to his father-in-law. The father-in-law didn't shirk either, took it with a smile and put it in his sleeve.
