The man who turned out from behind the tree, in his thirties, was well dressed, but he seemed to be habitually bending over, like a slave retinue.

Xu suffered some in the mountains and forests, his face was bruised from the cold, his jacket and pants were scraped, and he was also carrying a firewood knife in his hand, but it was more like holding a pen, which was very awkward.

Li Laosan subconsciously stepped back, gathered together, raised the firewood knife in his hand, and asked loudly, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? ”

The man's eyes were also full of fear and doubt, and he looked at Li Laosan carefully, and then responded, "I came from outside the mountains and was a person who fled the famine." Who are you? How is it here? ”

Li Laosan was a little relieved, it's good that he wasn't a mountain bandit.

"We also fled here, but we went into the mountains very early. Are you on your own? ”

Before the man could answer, there was another coughing sound from behind the tree, and then a man and two women turned out.

A woman looked like a servant woman, supporting a middle-aged woman who was dressed very luxuriously.

The other man was forty years old, and although he was embarrassed, he could see a bit of bookishness between his eyebrows.

Li Laosan was even more surprised, this deep mountain and old forest, where did the nobles and ... Scholar?

The beautiful woman coughed non-stop, and seemed to be very sick, and the middle-aged scholar was very anxious, and took a few steps forward to salute Li Laosan and others.

"Fellows, do you live nearby? Is there a doctor in the village? We are also fleeing the famine here, and we urgently need a place to settle down, I wonder if the villagers can make it convenient? ”

"Are there only four of you?" Li Laosan asked cautiously, and the middle-aged scholar nodded hurriedly, "Yes, almost all the original carriage luggage was thrown out of the mountain." We walked for four or five days without seeing any people, and we couldn't hold on, but luckily we met you. ”

Li Laosan hesitated for a moment, and instructed a villager to go back to report the news first, and then led the four people out of the forest, but the firewood knife in his hand was always held tightly and never put down...

The beautiful woman was so sick that she could hardly walk, and the middle-aged scholar had been a little suspicious before, but then he couldn't take care of it, so he took turns carrying the beautiful woman on his back with the servant woman.

In this way, after walking for a while, the group returned to the mountain stream.

The village chief and Li Lao Er had already brought seven or eight villagers to wait, lit a bonfire, and of course brought a firewood knife and sickle.

Although some villagers reported the news in advance, and everyone had speculations, they were completely relieved when they really saw four outsiders.

Because these two men and two women are really not disguised as mountain bandits and thieves, the beautiful woman's illness is indeed very serious.

The middle-aged scholar didn't expect that there would be so many people in the mountain stream, and he was also shocked, and he had to carefully look at a few caves on the mountain, as well as the village chief and others, before he stepped forward to speak.

He still didn't report his identity, only said that he was a desert escape, begging a doctor and a temporary stay.

And he took the initiative to command the servant woman and her attendants, and handed over all the firewood knives in their hands.

When the villagers saw this, of course, they couldn't be embarrassed anymore, but they didn't mean to let them into the cave.

I only invited them into a shed that was simply built on weekdays, and the shed was cleared of snow and lit a bonfire, which was not very comfortable, but it was much better than fighting the wind and snow outside.

In the caves, the elderly, women, and children all lifted the curtains and secretly looked down.

The Li family was no exception, and Jiayin was even more curious, but unfortunately he didn't look at it twice, and was hugged back by Tao Hongying.

The entrance to the cave is hard and easy to blow and get a headache.

Doctor Zhang is old and unwilling to toss, but he has recovered from the cold before, but he is more and more afraid of cold.

At this moment, he wrapped himself in a wolfskin jacket and a wolfskin hat, and formed himself into a ball, and then reluctantly went down the soft ladder.

As a result, when he entered the shed, he saw the beautiful woman and the middle-aged scholar, and he was so shocked that he didn't speak for a long time.

The middle-aged scholar was also surprised, and carefully identified it before asking tentatively, "But... Jishitang Zhang Shen Doctor? ”

Doctor Zhang coughed dryly, and quickly adjusted the crooked wolfskin hat, "It's the old man, but I don't know Wen... How did Mr. Wen get here? ”

The middle-aged scholar didn't have time to say more, grabbed his arm and pulled it to the beautiful woman.

"Doctor Zhang, help me take a look... Mrs. Cui, before entering the mountain, contracted the wind cold, and had an intermittent fever on the road, and took the pills, but it was only relieved, and it did not have much effect. ”

Doctor Zhang shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "Why did you get together?" In this troubled world, anything can really be encountered. ”

The middle-aged scholar's face was not good, and he sighed and responded, "It's a long story, the divine doctor should save people first." ”

Doctor Zhang took the pulse of the beautiful woman, and finally straightened up and said.

"It's not a serious illness, it's just that the wind and cold have dragged on for a long time, but you have to take six or seven days of medicinal soup and take care of it for a while."

After that, he asked, "Where are you going, but someone is going to answer you?" ”

The middle-aged scholar shook his head, his expression a little complicated, "We were driven into the mountains and forests by the barbarians, and we were cornered and no one answered. If it's convenient, can we stay here for a few days? ”

Doctor Zhang spread his hands and turned to the villagers and others, "I can't be the master, so let's ask everyone." ”

When the village chief and the others knew that Doctor Zhang knew the comer, they went to be vigilant.

After all, Doctor Zhang has saved countless people along the way and is very respected by everyone.

These people know him, and they must not be bad people, and they are here alone, so they are not a threat to everyone.

But if they are left behind, and the caves are full, how will they be arranged?

Xu saw that the villagers were in trouble, and the middle-aged scholar motioned to his entourage to take the package, took out two silver bills of five taels from it, and held them to the village chief with both hands.

"Uncle, I am also a fallen person at the end of the world, please make it convenient. We had nothing but a little silver. If any of the villagers are willing to give up the cave, this is our thank you gift. Even the smallest cave is good! ”

The village chief hurriedly waved his hand and refused to accept the money.

"Mr. Wen is polite, it's not easy to go out, and you should take a hand. What's more, you still know Doctor Zhang, and you can be regarded as half of your own family. You take back the money, and I'll arrange it for you first. ”

As he spoke, the village chief greeted the two villagers, who were the men of the two families of Wu San's aunt and Sun's second sister-in-law.

The two families usually get along well, and this time they live together in the smallest cave.

"You can get out of the cave for the time being, and see where you want to go."

Third Uncle Wu and Second Brother Sun didn't refuse, they were all a family of three, and they didn't have much luggage, so it was easy to move anywhere.

Mr. Wen insisted on stuffing the silver to the village chief, "I'm tired of my brother, this silver must be given." If my brother can ask us for some hot water, it would be better to use it simply. ”

The village chief thought about it, and accepted it, one silver coat was given to Wu and Sun's two families, and one was directly given to Li Lao'er.

"Second brother, as far as your family has the most abundant food, you go back and talk to your mother and take care of Mr. Wen and them. Let them eat with your family these days! ”

Li Lao Er responded, but he didn't give the silver, for the sake of Doctor Zhang's face, their family had to take care of it a little more.
