The next day, Chen An and his entourage of five people took Jiangnan Road to Lincheng.

What they saw and heard along the way shocked the four Dark Division elites, not to mention Xiaowen.

Last year's drought has continued to this year, and the road is really a thousand miles of red land, with floating corpses everywhere. Everywhere you look, wandering people flee to the surrounding towns, dragging them down like locusts and spreading farther afield.

If it had been before, whether it was the imperial court or the king of Wu, it would have been long before they sent troops to restrict the activities of the hooligans, and it was time to provide disaster relief and reconstruction. But at this tense moment, the two sides just ignored all this happening, and the people of Jiangnan Province were left to fend for themselves.

It's hard to say whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Even Zhang Xia, Zhu Qi and other ruthless people saw it, and their faces were gloomy, but only Chen An had a strange look of entanglement and struggle. But he was at the forefront, and the others couldn't see his strange look.

Chen Anxin fought with the heavens, and after the action, whether to take the land route or the sea and land. According to Sikong Cheng's statement, the sea and land are impassable, and when the power of the Poseidon Festival came, Chen An made it clear that even if he and the others were just sailing along the coast, it would definitely be difficult to be spared, not to mention that the duration of the Poseidon Festival this time might exceed a month. What this means, Chen An, who has been in the ship department for more than a year, knows it all too well.

In other words, there is no way to avoid either postponing the action or advancing it. Now there is only one road by land, but this way from Haichuan County to the Fu Road through Nanfucheng through Jiangnan Road, the whole road is a horse Pingchuan, if it is intercepted by soldiers and horses, it is really nine deaths.

In fact, Chen An has an idea, as long as he uses the miasma from southern Xinjiang, gathers the water and soil here, and casts the plague. At the speed of the spread of the displaced people, maybe they can all be eroded to Haichuan County, and by that time, the land of Haizhou will be full of mourning, and whoever has time to deal with these people will be able to escape calmly at that time.

But he really had a hard time making a choice, it was too hurtful to do so, and the power of the plague was difficult to control, and I don't know how many people would die. He had read the records of the Dark Division that during the period of the first emperor, there was a great drought on Xichuan Road in Yunzhou, and 960,000 people died. A war of millions of people will kill a few thousand people at most, and it is said that the whole army will be annihilated, but in fact it is just a rout and capture, and the power of the plague is terrifying. At that time, he only had a number in his head, no idea, and now he saw a real hellish scene before his eyes. No matter how weak his concept of good and evil is, he knows that this matter is really inappropriate. It's just that there is really no other idea between the eagerness.

Three days later, Chen An and the others came to Lincheng, Zhang Xia's face was a little whiter than before, and her spirit became very sluggish. Zhu Qi and Sikong Cheng looked at Daqi, they are both masters of internal strength, in terms of internal strength alone, Shang Zhangxia is above the two of them, how can she get sick easily. But if the injury is not healed, it is not like that.

Chen An didn't explain anything about this, but just took them straight to Mu Shaoping's medical hall.

At this time, Mu Shaoping was diagnosing people, Mu Qing was helping on the side, and Ning Er was helping the patient get medicine, there were really many sick people in the city, and even Mu Shaoping's medical hall in the deep alley was full of traffic.

Chen An's arrival made everyone happy. Chen An just introduced Zhang Xia and others as colleagues, and then passed them aside. Mu Shaoping knew that the Dark Division was a more secretive department, so he didn't ask too much. It's just that Lin Wen, Chen An's new apprentice, is very interested, and said with a smile: "Old, old, even Xiao An has accepted apprentices, haha, it's really old." ”

Lin Wen had only learned from Chen An the knowledge of refining and practicing medicinal wine, and he had never dabbled in the way of making drugs, so Chen An had nothing to avoid. just smiled slightly, and let Mu Shaoping take the school exam for Lin Wen, and the result was very satisfied.

Mu Shaoping twisted his beard and smiled: "Yes, yes, by the apprentice and the teacher, Xiao An, it seems that your medical skills have not fallen behind." ”

Chen An knew that his medical skills were really not on the table, so he had to smile awkwardly when he heard this, and changed the topic: "My nephew's medical skills are still far from my uncle's, so I brought this colleague to ask my uncle for treatment." As he spoke, he let go of Zhang Xia behind him.

Mu Shaoping had already seen that Zhang Xia seemed to be wrong, but the dark division acted very unusually, and he was afraid that Chen An had something else, so he didn't ask more. It was only at this time that Chen An made it clear that he said to Zhang Xia: "This girl, please borrow your wrist to take a look." ”

Zhang Xia stretched out her arm and said politely: "There is Dr. Lao Mu." She didn't know who Mu Shaoping was, but seeing that Chen An respected her so much, she only said that she was really the uncle of her immediate boss, so her tone was very modest.

Mu Shaoping stretched out his finger and put it on his wrist, and after a while, his face changed suddenly, he retracted his hand as if he was burned, and looked at Chen An in surprise.

Chen An seemed to know what he meant, nodded and said, "It's a disease, if it's poison, I can help her solve it." ”

Mu Shaoping said: "Then she ......"

"Uncle can't help it?" Chen An frowned.

Mu Shaoping frowned and said, "It's very tricky." ”

What the two of them said was clueless, a group of people were inexplicable, and Zhang Xia herself was even more worried, she really couldn't figure out what kind of disease she had was so tricky. But when Chen An spoke, he didn't dare to interject and ask, and the other two naturally did the same.

Mu Qing's temperament was straight, and she was only close to Chen An, and she had no awe, so she asked directly: "Dad, what are you two playing dumb riddles?"

"This ......" Mu Shaoping hesitated slightly, but Chen An said directly: "It's the plague." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was shocked, and Zhang Xia's face was even pale, she naturally knew the horror of the plague.

Mu Shaoping was afraid of causing panic among everyone if he couldn't speak, and when he saw Chen An speaking outright, he also said: "You don't have to be too afraid, this lesion is just beginning, and Miss Zhang's physique is very strong, and her blood is sufficient, so there should be no big problem, but it's better for you to stay away from Miss Zhang." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen An and said, "The plague lesions are varied, and Miss Zhang needs to take a few more doses of medicine to identify the pathology before it can be eradicated." ”

Chen An nodded, and arranged for Zhang Xia and a few people to stay here, so that Mu Shaoping could be treated nearby. Anyway, all the surrounding houses have been bought by Chen An.

After settling down with everyone, Chen Ancai and Mu Shaoping officially met and told each other about their farewells.

Ning Er walked up at this time, smiled like a crescent moon in her eyes, and said, "Chen ...... Quiet. ”

Her words were extremely difficult and intermittent, but Chen An was overjoyed: "Ning'er, you can speak, it's really good." ”

"Also...... Also ...... "Ning'er was also very happy, her little face was flushed, but she couldn't say it in a hurry."

Chen An naturally knew that she was not fluent in what she wanted to speak, so she nodded and encouraged: "Practice a lot, it will always be good." ”

He turned his head to Mu Shaoping again and said gratefully: "Uncle's medical skills are really amazing, and my nephew admires it." ”

Mu Shaoping was about to say some modest words, but Mu Qing on the side rushed to say: "That's natural, over the years, Daddy and I have traveled around to cure all kinds of incurable diseases, Daddy's medical skills are countless times stronger than back then, and he is definitely worthy of the four words of supernatural transformation." ”

Mu Shaoping couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he was robbed by his daughter: "You girl will talk nonsense, it's better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, it's true that my medical skills have grown slightly, it's too exaggerated to say anything superb, cough cough ......"

Speaking of the sudden cough later, Chen An was taken aback: "Uncle, what's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?"

Mu Shaoping smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that my throat is not very comfortable, just drink some chrysanthemum tea later." ”

Mu Qing also said: "Dad, are you really okay? It's been a few days, why don't you take a day off tomorrow?"

"No, Dad's health is fine, Dad still has to watch you get married to feel at ease, how can there be anything. Mu Shaoping patted Mu Qing's hand and said.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Mu Qing sneered in shame.

Mu Shaoping said: "What are you shy, you always have to get married, you have been running around with your father all these years, which has really delayed you." What do you think of Xiao An?"

Mu Qing was thinking about her experience over the years, and she didn't want her father to suddenly say such a sentence, her face turned red with shame, and she said angrily: "Dad, what are you talking nonsense, Xiao An is younger than me." ”

Chen An was also embarrassed to listen to it next to him, and peeked at Mu Qing, only to see that her eyebrows were black and white, her lips were like Tu Dan, and her cheeks were red.

Mu Shaoping said: "What kind of reason is this, I think Xiao An is quite suitable, he is something I grew up watching, and he is also a childhood sweetheart with you." Xiao An, what do you say I will marry Qing'er to you?"

"I ...... I ......", Chen An felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat, and his mouth was like a blockage, and he couldn't speak at all

Mu Qing was ashamed, grabbed Ning'er, who was watching the excitement on the side, and stuffed it into Chen An's arms, and said, "I see, Ning'er is still a good match with Andi, Dad, don't mess around with the mandarin duck spectrum." ”

Ning Er was squinting at the side, and was caught by Mu Qing as a shield, and waved her hand again and again in fright, but she only spit out one word in her eagerness: "No...... Not ......"

Her embarrassed appearance made everyone laugh. Mu Shaoping looked at the laughter of the three juniors, twisted his beard and smiled, a burst of peace and joy, and the joy of family was nothing more than this.

Everyone joked for a while, and when they saw that Mu Shaoping was not in good spirits, they said goodbye one after another. Mu Qing and Ning Er left first, Chen An was a few steps behind, he walked to the door and thought about it, then turned around, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and said with concern: "Uncle, where are you uncomfortable, little nephew, you take this medicine that nourishes qi and blood." As he spoke, he handed the porcelain vase to Mu Shaoping.

Mu Shaoping was very relieved to see that he was so attached to him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, my body knows by itself, but I am old, and many diseases cannot be cured quickly, lingering for many days, and I have lost a lot of energy." ”

Chen An looked at Mu Shaoping's gray hair, and sighed in his heart, in fact, Mu Shaoping was only in his early fifties, and he looked like he was in his sixties. He knew that it was because he had been sleeping all day long, and that these painful experiences had made his health worse and worse.

Mu Shaoping sighed and continued: "That's how people are old, when the oil runs out and the lamp runs out, no medicine is useless. But I still accepted your medicine, and I accepted your love, hehe. ”

Chen An said eagerly: "No, uncle, you will definitely live a long life." ”

Mu Shaoping said with a smile: "How many people in this world can live a long life, as long as I see you good, I will be relieved, even if I want to die quickly, I am willing." ”

Chen An listened to what he said desolately, and seemed to have thought about the future, and his heart was anxious: "Uncle, I ......"

Mu Shaoping interrupted him and said: "Actually, I'm not joking today, you are what I grew up with, my uncle knows that although you are young and undisciplined, and your actions are more extreme, your essence is still good, and I can rest assured that I will entrust Qing'er to you." You tell your uncle the truth, are you willing to take care of Qing'er for the rest of your life?"

Chen An didn't want him to divert the topic here, his face turned red, and he said, "I...... I am...... Yes. ”

Mu Shaoping laughed with satisfaction: "When a man gets married, a woman should get married, why are you shy." ”

Chen An's face was even redder, but when he thought of Ruozhen and Mu Qing getting married, he felt infinite joy in his heart. For a while, he couldn't help but think wildly, his childhood sweetheart, the ignorance of meeting again, and the ecstasy when he heard Mu Shaoping's kiss, all of which made him hot-minded, and he didn't know how to get out of Mu Shaoping's house in the end.
