Chapter 29 The Infirmary
The sky is getting dark, Jingzhou City, South Gate Street.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
Two horses, one yellow and one white, galloped down the street. The yellow horse has a string of golden bells under its neck, and the white horse has a string of silver bells, both of which are tall and have bright saddle bridles.
On the yellow horse sat a young man, twenty-three or four-year-old, dressed in a yellow shirt, tall and thin. The white horse was a young girl, about eighteen years old, with a fluttering white shirt, a large red silk flower hanging from her left shoulder, a white and tender face, and an extremely pretty appearance.
The two of them hung long swords at their waists, both held a horse whip in their hands, and the tall heads and long bodies of the two horses, it was rare that the yellow ones were all yellow, and the white ones were all white, and there was not a single miscellaneous hair on their bodies.
Many knowledgeable martial arts people have recognized that this man and woman are the "Lingjian Shuangxia" who has just been in the rivers and lakes for two or three months, and has a lot of fame.
The two of them are Wang Xiaofeng, the apprentice of the "Cold Moon Sword" Shui Dai, and his daughter Shui Sheng, so they know many people at a young age, and they also have a resounding name.
Now, the chivalrous couple suddenly reined in and stopped.
It was only because there was a long queue of nearly 100 people on the street in front of them, which cut the whole street into two sections, and it was difficult for horses to pass.
Shui Sheng rode on the back of a white horse and looked towards the starting point of the procession, only to see that it was a small faΓ§ade with a note hanging on the outside, which read, "Needles are used to save people, no medical fees are charged."
"Cousin, in such a small medical hall, are there so many people who come to seek medical treatment? Why are there so many injuries in this Jingzhou city? We've never seen so many injured people in a town we've been to before. β
Wang Xiaofeng glanced at Shui Sheng and replied, "Cousin, I don't know anything about this, maybe there is a gang fight or something like this in this city." If you want to know, how many people can we ask on the spot? β
Shui Sheng looked at the wounded in the group, among them were several men with broken limbs and feet, who let out painful moans from time to time, and looked quite miserable.
"Then cousin, you can go and ask." She tilted her head, unable to bear to look at it for a moment.
Wang Xiaofeng turned over and dismounted, and took two steps, but he vaguely noticed that several people in the team were secretly looking at his cousin's appearance, and his heart was suddenly quite unhappy.
"Shui Futa was ahead of the curve and prepared our accommodation in advance. Wait here for a while, and when he returns, tell us about the situation in the city, and save yourself from dealing with these gang members who don't seem to be righteous. β
"Well, then wait a minute. Anyway, we have to wait until Shui Fu comes back to lead the way. Shui Sheng also dismounted, led the white horse to the vicinity of the medical hall, and looked inside curiously.
I saw a young woman with freckles on her face, a little rustic, but with a young man, carrying a stretcher, out of a compartment covered with a blue curtain, and placing it at the door.
On the stretcher lay a short, haggard old man, who had just been placed at the door, when a companion came and picked him up, picked him up, and left.
A somewhat muffled woman's voice came from inside the compartment: "Xiao Fang, call the next injured person in early." β
The young girl named Xiaofang replied, "I'll be here soon." Anyway, how many more people are going to be treated today? β
"Well, let's treat ten more in the end. You tell the people behind you to come back tomorrow. β
Shui Sheng was a little surprised to hear it outside. This doctor, who can make many people in Jingzhou City come to see a doctor for treatment, turned out to be a woman.
"Sister Qing, I saw a woman at the door just now. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful person! β
"Oh?"
β¦β¦
Shui Fu is an old servant of the Shui family, dressed in a green coat and hat, and his family is dressed.
He had just set up two upper rooms in the inn in the city, and then he saw Wang Xiaofeng and Shui Sheng's two horses in the distance on the South Gate Street.
Shui Fu bypassed the crowd, approached and called out to the two, "Miss, Young Master Wang, today's residence has been prepared." β
"There's no hurry. Shui Fu, what has happened in Jingzhou City recently? Why are there so many injured people in the rivers and lakes? Wang Xiaofeng asked.
Shui Fu replied: "Young Master, the current chaos in Jingzhou City is said to have originated from a major event that happened three days ago. 'Wuyun Hand' Wan Zhenshan was exposed to his murder of his fellow disciples, and was subsequently killed at his son's wedding banquet. β
Wang Xiaofeng said strangely: "Ten Thousand Earthquake Mountain? He is also a famous master of the two lakes, and his martial arts may be higher than my cousin and me, and being killed is indeed a big deal. Most of the people who killed him were already first-class masters in the rivers and lakes. β
"But what does the injured have to do with this?"
Shui Sheng smiled and said, "Cousin is still too modest. Daddy mentioned to me that your swordsmanship has surpassed that of his age, and no one in the younger generation can match it. It is also very possible that the blue will come out of the blue in the future. β
After the two finished speaking, Shui Fu then added: "Young Master Wang, it is rumored that a young girl exposed the true face of Wan Zhen Mountain and killed him easily. β
"What's more, after killing Wan Zhenshan, the other party claimed that she knew the location of the treasure left by Emperor Liang Yuan, and said that she would hold a martial arts tournament in three months, and those who beat her would get this treasure worth tens of millions."
Since then, Jingzhou has become a lot of chaos, with a large number of people from other places constantly entering the city, and many gangs with old grudges have broken out with each other. There were even some underworld masters who forcibly broke into the prison of the prefect's yamen and were surrounded and killed one by one by the officers and soldiers who rushed in. β
"This clinic, which was also opened recently by a doctor from other places, advertises that it can use needles to treat people who have suffered all kinds of internal and external injuries, and there is no charge for needles. Except for the medicinal materials needed by some of the injured people, no other money was confiscated here. β
"It is precisely because of this that the hospital has become famous in just a few days, and it has been heard all over the city, so that there is an overcrowding situation."
Wang Xiaofeng frowned, his face was slightly gloomy, his cousin had just praised him as the number one master among the younger generation, but he happened to be refuted by the news that Shui Fu said.
If the other party's martial arts are really far superior to Wan Zhenshan, then she is obviously not her opponent.
Shui Fu caught a glimpse of Wang Xiaofeng's expression and said, "That ...... That fanatic, who really can't do anything about it, dares to let go of such arrogant remarks. β
"Fanatics?" Shui Sheng asked suspiciously, and then figured out what Shui Fu meant:
Daddy is one of the "South Four Wonders", the top eight masters in the world. The young girl declared that she had put herself on the same level as her father, so Shui Fu, who was her old servant, was naturally quite dissatisfied.
But didn't he also praise his cousin for his talent over his father?
