On the empty wasteland, there stands a dilapidated mountain village covering an area of more than ten acres, or a big stone nest.

The large stone blocks enclosed more than 20 acres of land and formed a wall, which was three meters high and two meters thick, which was very solid and magnificent. There are four gaps in the front and back, left and right, but there is a thick big iron door, which is rusty, but it can still be used. On one side of the gap, there is a high sentry tower against rain and wind, which can accommodate two or three people to sentry and rest.

However, there are only a few low houses of stone and wood structure in the stone nest, lined up, but there are no wooden doors and windows, and they are empty. Although the area of each house is not small, and there is a fire kang, the fire kang is not large. The rest were neat rows of stables, large thatched huts everywhere, a few closed wells, and a few earthen stoves facing the doorways of the houses.

This large stone nest seems to have existed for a long time. However, some people added new stones, some people repaired the stove and roof, some people removed the weeds and leveled the ground, and some people cut down a lot of firewood and some charcoal and piled them up in a corner.

This is a special post station, and there are stone tablets standing at several entrances, on which some rules for check-in are inscribed. Pedestrians will know that this post is only for traders to rest for a short time, and it is not official. It is also maintained by passing merchants.

In the past, the two ends of the big stone nest were empty for three days, but today, before the sun sets, the howls of the wild beasts in the wasteland come and go, and there is a little life.

At this moment, in the stone nest, torches were lit on all sides, and in front of the house, several stoves under the shed lit charcoal fires, pots were erected, and water vapor rose. Sixty or seventy horses and mules enjoyed rare food, grass and water in the stables. Under a large thatched shed. Everywhere it was packed with frames and cargo. There weren't many people just walking around, except for a dozen or so people boiling water for cooking. and the people who are on guard, there are few people who haunt anymore. It's quiet.

However, this is an illusion.

In a big room, the stove was used, a quilt was spread on the kang, ten people were crowded on it, and there were about 20 people lying on the ground, one by one bandaged their hands and feet, some unconscious, and some in a low voice. All are wounded.

Jiang Long and Wang Hai carefully accompanied Zhang Weidong and did not dare to make a noise.

Zhang Weidong was taking the pulse of an injured person, and after a while, he put down and got up, met the eager and hopeful eyes of Jiang and Wang, and nodded: "No problem for the time being, the snake venom has been suppressed, with my treatment and medicine, it should be able to last until the pass, but." There were too many wounded, all of them were mixed snake venom, and the anti-poison I had prepared was not enough, so I could only suppress it. It cannot be eradicated, and in order to recover, it is necessary to rush to Kannai for further treatment. ”

"Thank you Dr. Zhang for saving your life, I will have a good reward for my Anyuan Dart Bureau!" Wang Hai said gratefully.

Jiang Long also said: "My master also said it. I won't treat Dr. Zhang badly!"

At this time, Boss Chen was not there, so he went to rest.

Boss Chen is a little older. Frightened on the way, hit with heavy losses. I was tired again, and I persevered until I got here. However, Zhang Weidong showed it, but he was overly frightened and exhausted, and the problem was not too big, so he prescribed medicine to calm the nerves and replenish qi.

In the five big rooms, nearly 200 injured people relied on Zhang Weidong to lead, diagnosis, debridement, detoxification, acupuncture, prescribing medicine, etc. And due to the shortage of medicinal materials in this area, Zhang Weidong used up a whole cart of medicinal powder. He can only do this step, and can only try to ensure that these people do not die.

If you don't mention the consultation fee, it is the medicine powder in this car, and according to Yonghetang's temperament, it is also worth a lot. However, at present, I can only owe it, and I will save people first.

Zhang Weidong nodded, and said: "The patient's diet must be liquid, eat less and more often, and in addition, take the medicine on time and according to the prescription within two days." I will be diagnosed again in two days to see if I need to change the medication. ”

The two hurriedly responded, and there was a list in their hands, recording different people and different medicines, and they didn't dare to mess up, otherwise it would be a matter of human life.

Zhang Weidong explained a few more words to the two, and there was nothing to do with him. After being busy with the healing of two hundred people, he was also very tired. It seems that since a year ago, because of his deterioration, he has rarely been dispatched, except in Yonghetang. This time it was a coincidence, but I couldn't help it.

There are only ten rooms in this row of houses, which may not have his share, but now Zhang Weidong and his party have two rooms, and the team is very respectful to Zhang Weidong and others.

The room is full of teenagers and several adopted sons, Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, Zhao Bow and Arrow, Zhao Falcon and Zhao Hound are also there, the kang and the floor have been paved, and there are some portable salutes piled up, and outside, Aunt Zhao and Zhao are busy cooking, cut meat strips, cabbage, vermicelli, carrots, and steamed buns, piled up a lot, vegetable oil and butter into the pot, exuding bursts of fragrance, waiting to be cooked. Compared with the large pile of snake meat on the stove next to it, the Zhang family cooked more carefully and richly.

Zhang Weidong took a look and went to the next room.

Sure enough, the rest of them were here.

There was a fire burning in the stove, a quilt was spread on the kang, Xiao Yueyue, Xiao Zhang Hui and a few girls were playing, and the dog was not ashamed to participate. Zhao Lanlan and Xu Qing sat on the edge of the kang and took care of this group of little naughty. However, Xiao Yueyue and Dog Egg are the best to move.

The Zhang family and his entourage, there is no shortage of them, and they are all intact. Not only that, but they had a lot of horses and mules, and when the snakes met them, they all consciously walked around them. This is thanks to the insect repellent snake powder prepared by Zhang Weidong, which is configured by Zhang Weidong, and the effect is extremely strong, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

Generally speaking, when encountering a group of snakes, even the powder of a common insect repellent snake is useless. There are always mistakes in the chaos. But the medicinal powder prepared by Zhang Weidong has a miraculous effect.

Even Wu Datou's convoy was also hit by seedlings, and it also benefited indirectly, only more than 20 people were injured, and because it was not far from Zhang Weidong, after the snakes passed by, the rescue was timely, and none of them died. And Yu Qiuxia and Feng Gao's team was not so lucky, even if Zhang Weidong made a move later, the team of 100 people was injured, and more than 20 people died on the spot.

However, the three small traders were lucky.

As a big businessman, Boss Chen suffered even greater losses this time, not counting the rest of the losses, but the personnel were broken by more than 100 people, more than 200 people were injured, and less than 100 people were intact. Of course, if it weren't for Zhang Weidong's diagnosis and treatment, it is estimated that it would have been discounted more.

"Brother Zhang, someone just sent two large boxes of snake meat, all of which have been cleaned up, by the way, there is also a box of snakes on the body, saying that you asked them to leave them. It smelled so bad that I let it be left outside. Xu Qing saw that Zhang Weidong was back, and immediately went over to take the medicine box, and said.

"Oh?" Zhang Weidong immediately went out to see.

Snake meat is a precious delicacy, but the Zhang family, who have only experienced the terrifying snake plague and have not experienced too much, turned pale when they saw it, and they couldn't eat it. The other frame is full of snake gall, large and small, of many types and quantities, which is what Zhang Weidong intends to configure medicinal materials, which is very rare. Aunt Zhao and the Zhao family were probably afraid to see it, so the baskets were placed far away.

Zhang Weidong is somewhat interested in snake meat, but he has a great love for one of the baskets. The contents of that basket were all snake gall, and Zhang Weidong was given hundreds of gold coins without exchange. Of course, snake gall is nothing, but there are dozens of different types of snake gall bladder, which is precious.

Jiang Long, Wang Hai and others were not interested in snake gallbladder, so they asked their subordinates to give all the snake gall to Zhang Weidong. They probably didn't know that these snake galls would be so precious, they were a treasure mountain. If Zhang Weidong is compatible with various medicines, the value will increase several times.

is only one snake gall, even if they don't pay their debts, Zhang Weidong will make a lot of money. In fact, not only snake gallbladder, but also snake bones, fangs, venom, etc. are also very useful. However, there was not enough manpower and time to deal with it further, so I had to give up.

"Snake meat is also a good thing, and it can't be wasted. ”

Zhang Weidong personally cooked and made a big pot of snake meat soup, and Zhao Erbao and others ate it beautifully. Xu Qing and the others, who were originally afraid, immediately fell in love after tasting it. In fact, after Zhang Weidong's cooking, he couldn't see the appearance for a long time, and it became a snow-white and crystal porridge.

That night, the injured showed no signs of recurrence, and everyone slept peacefully.

Early the next morning, the convoy was on the road.

There are a lot fewer carriages, and the speed has increased a bit. I don't know if it's the impact of the snake plague, or the product of the 'desolate lion' on the Zhang family. After that, the march of the people went very smoothly. At the same time, although they passed through the new checkpoint of Qingguo and also encountered Qingguo's scout cavalry, they showed their identities, examined the wounded, and stuffed some silver coins.

Five days later, in the afternoon, a great wall stretched across the eyes, connecting the peaks and cutting off the road. Many people couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw it, and they lived for the rest of their lives.

From a distance, buildings have been built on the Great Wall, and some people's heads can be vaguely seen shaking on it, and there is a huge flag waving in the wind, with a big 'Qi' character on it. Below, however, a huge gate was tightly sealed.

This was originally supposed to be the checkpoint of Qingguo, but now it has changed its owner and has become the territory and checkpoint of Qi.

And, under the city, a new moat was dug up, but it was dry and waterless. A hardwood walkway was also built to allow people to enter and exit, and in the event of an emergency, it would be difficult for the enemy to pass through by removing the hardwood from the sidewalk.

When he got here, Boss Chen also came back to life.

He also specially asked Jiang Long to come over and invite Zhang Weidong to stay in the town for a few days, so that he could fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Zhang Weidong agreed.

After clearing the customs, the road will be much safer. Because it has become an official road, the road is wide and hard, and there are post stations, and there are many people accompanying them, including many sergeants, even if they travel at night. And there are hundreds of miles, there is an important trade town at the border of Qi State, Green Willow Town. Everyone's trip ends when they arrive at Greenwillow Town. And the Zhang family also needs to resupply in Greenwillow Town, and at the same time obtain road citations.

At the same time, Zhang Weidong is not a good man, everyone's healing is not cheap, it is a lot of money, and the money that should be collected must be collected. has more money, not for himself, but also for Xu Qing's mother and daughter. (To be continued.) )
