Chapter Forty-Eight: A Village in the Mountains

Chapter 48

After leading the people of Dongyanlou into Kunjun, it has been three days since Congsi led the people of Dongyanlou into Kunjun.

On this day, close to evening, the spies in front reported that there was a village not far away, which was quite large, and I thought that I could spend the night.

After thinking about it for a while, he waved his hand and decided to go to the stockade.

The mountains of Kunshire are high and long, close to late autumn, and the frost and dew are heavy in the morning and evening, so it is very inconvenient for everyone to live in the wild these days.

Sure enough, ten miles ahead, you can see at a glance that thousands of stilted buildings are built along the mountain, and with the undulating changes of the terrain, the mountains are stacked one after another, and they are magnificent.

The village is surrounded by green hills, and it is stacked repeatedly.

From the middle of the stockade, a clear and turbulent river rushes downward, splitting the whole stockade in two.

It is really a beautiful scenery with the green mountains at your back, the jade belt under your feet, and the circulation of water.

When they saw it from afar, their hearts were already rejoicing.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and Congsi said: "Go on, don't stand stupid." ”

Everyone reacted and hurriedly rode forward.

But before they could really get close to the village, a group of local natives dressed in plackets and animal skins rushed out.

They speak the vernacular dialect and have unkind faces.

From the silk disguised as a young businessman, he lifted the curtain, his face was white and clean, and he was a young man.

She looked at her men on horseback: "What did they say?" ”

His subordinate Xie Zhongnan responded: "Master, they asked us who we were and where we came from. ”

Congsi nodded: "You tell them that we are a caravan from outside to harvest herbs, passing by here, and staying overnight." ”

Xie Zhongnan translated according to his words and talked with the other party.

After a while, Xie Zhongnan turned around: "Master, they said that it is okay to stay overnight, but you have to pay three hundred taels of silver for accommodation." ”

There was no expression on the silk face, and he ordered everyone to take out all the silver they were carrying and put them together.

She counted, two hundred and seventy-three taels, not enough for three hundred taels.

Immediately, she glanced at Xie Zhongnan: "You tell them that we only have so many in our bodies, I hope Guizhai will understand and be tolerant." ”

Xie Zhongnan has long understood in his heart that the so-called wealth is not exposed, and even more so when he goes out, pretending to be poor is the first necessary foundation.

He turned to face the people in the stockade, and said with a sad face, "There is only this in the silver, and I hope that for the sake of sincerity, I can let them stay for one night."

Seeing that the other party did not look like a bad person, the people of the village were no longer embarrassed, but they were quite understanding, and then put down their knives and forks and warmly welcomed everyone into the village.

……

A young man named Ge Yang will bring Congsi and the others to the patriarch to report the matter.

As soon as I heard that the other party was a medicine merchant and knew a lot about medical skills, the patriarch became interested.

He pinched a not-so-standard official language: "Where did you come from?" ”

Congsi replied: "We came from Jiangnan, because our ancestors sold drugs and sold drugs for generations, and traveled from south to north, since the youngest son inherited the family business, he also began to wander like this, collecting good medicinal materials everywhere, and striving to sell them at a good price to support his family. ”

Hearing this, the patriarch's face wrinkled and smiled: "In this way, this little brother is a little similar to me when I was young. ”

Congsi smiled: "No wonder the old patriarch you speak official language. ”

The patriarch said: "I haven't talked about it for many years, I'm unfamiliar!" ”

Then, he continued: "In recent days, many people from outside have passed by our village, some arrogant, and even joined forces with local horse thieves to plunder our village. ”

"We misunderstood you at first, so please forgive me! If you are not a medicine dealer, little brother, we dare not accept you for the night. ”

Hearing this, he remained silent: "I see, then I have to thank the old patriarch and the brothers of the village!" ”

The patriarch smiled, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Little brother, I don't know how your medical skills are?" In recent years, the old man's body has become more and more unwell, and he looked at the doctor in the village, but he couldn't see anything. ”

From the silk eyebrows raised slightly: "The kid's medical skills are vulgar, but since the old patriarch is unwell, the kid is willing to take a look at it for you." ”

Hearing this, the patriarch stretched out his wrist and began to diagnose the pulse from the silk.

After a while, she smiled and said, "The old patriarch has frequent abdominal discomfort? ”

The patriarch was surprised: "Little brother! How do you know? ”

Congsi smiled: "Just look and hear and ask." What kind of pain is the pain in your abdomen, Chief? ”

"Sometimes it's a knife, sometimes it's a colic."

Congsi said: "That's it, when the boy first saw you, he saw that your face was haggard, and some of your face was dark, which was a sign of liver and stomach discomfort." ”

"Coupled with the fact that we have just taken your pulse, it confirms this."

The patriarch was surprised and delighted: "In this way, the little brother may be able to diagnose and treat the old decay!?" The old man should repay you well! ”

Congsi smiled gently and generously: "Thanks to the old patriarch for staying overnight, the kid will definitely treat you well!" ”

I saw Congsi open the medicine box he was carrying, and took out a small bottle of medicine from dozens of wooden lattices.

She handed it to the old patriarch: "You take one pill first, and it will take effect after half a stick of incense." ”

Hearing this, the old patriarch hurriedly opened the medicine bottle and swallowed a pill without drinking water.

With the entrance of the medicine, he was looking forward to it, as if his usual discomfort had been alleviated a lot at this moment.

……

After half a stick of incense, the effect of the medicine was attacked, and the patriarch really looked happy.

He smiled and took Congsi's hand: "Hahaha! Little brother, your medical skills are excellent! The old decay now feels very soothing and warm in the abdomen! ”

Congsi smiled: "This medicine is just to relieve pain." ”

She handed the old patriarch a prescription: "This is the key, if the old patriarch can trust the boy, he will take the medicine according to the prescription, decoction and drink it every morning, and within half a year, it will be fine." ”

Hearing this, the patriarch was even more pleased, and said to the young man in the village next to him, hurry up and kill sheep and chickens to entertain distinguished guests.

Seeing that the patriarch of the family was so polite to these outsiders, the people who had blocked the road earlier were now guilty and uneasy, and they greeted Congsi warmly.

……

After having dinner around the bonfire, many clansmen from the village gathered around Congsi and these foreign pharmacists, especially some tribesmen who were unwell, and asked Congsi to consult and prescribe some medicine for him to solve his pain.

For a time, the village was even more lively.

And from the beginning to the present, he has been treated kindly, without shouting the slightest tiredness.

At this time, the people in the village are full of good feelings for it. Especially those young girls, when they saw the appearance of a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, they were even more shy, and hid and peeked again and again.

On the side, Wang Haiyang and Qi Yan smiled and said, "Master, you are very popular now!" Look at the girls, they're all blushing! ”

Roasted the fire slowly: "What, are you jealous?" ”

Two: "......"

Congsi raised her eyebrows: "Sure enough, you don't have the beauty of the owner, and you don't get the hearts of those girls, tsk......t"

Two: "......"

Please, Lord, stop talking! Shut up!
