Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Traveling Doctor

The spicy chicken name "Poisonous Snake Qingjiao" was naturally not accepted by Green Snake, and even she didn't buy it at all, and after trying to protest for a long time, Zhang Ran regretfully gave up the idea of naming her......

Ah Qing, an ordinary name, is only a little better than "Xiaoqing" in the Green Snake family.

But at this moment, in the eyes of the green snake, his name, which is like a big road, is undoubtedly too literary compared to the spicy chicken name taken by this neurotic human!

"Ah Qing, okay."

Zhang Ran nodded:

"From now on, you have to call me [Great Master] in front of outsiders, the poor road is no longer Zhang Guo, but the pseudonym [Zhang Jiao], this time I made a special trip down the mountain, I really saw the plague raging and the people suffering, so I couldn't bear to ...... in my heart."

"Wait!"

Just as he was in high spirits, Ah Qing suddenly interrupted him with something and said suspiciously:

"Aren't your name Zhang Guo? Why did it change to Zhang Jiao again? ”

Zhang Ran smiled and said:

"People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed! Naturally, the trumpet is more proficient......"

Ah Qing became more and more suspicious:

"Then your original name is really [Zhang Guo]? How does Miss Ben think that even this is a pseudonym......"

What a riddler, so skilled in changing his name, Green Snake only thinks that this guy may not have a word of truth from beginning to end......

"Guess."

Zhang Ran smiled softly, didn't say much, only took out a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstones prepared in advance from the Taoist robe, and handed it to Ah Qing, a close attendant dragon girl (free coolie) to help hold it.

The old god sat on the back of the tiger on the ground, and set off along the wide and flat official road, aiming at the neighboring county seat.

……

The county where Zhang Ran is located is called [Chong County], and the surrounding sixteen counties are under the jurisdiction of [Heyang County], and more than one million people are governed in one county!

This kind of county-level city units are connected by official roads, and it should be noted that the official roads here are completely different from the spicy chicken "official roads" that Zhang Ran used to walk hundreds of miles to the county seat in Qingxi Village.

The official roads between the county towns are built by the county-level units, and the official family is naturally generous, and these official roads are built very wide, enough to pass two carriages at the same time, and the road surface is also extremely flat, and there are regular official personnel to fund the maintenance of the road!

Zhang Ran rode a tiger and followed Aqing, a free coolie, from Chong County to the adjacent [Da County] through the official road, because the road conditions were very good, and they were all extraordinary, and the speed was naturally extremely fast.

It only took half a day, and I walked hundreds of miles, which is more than the painful era of walking from morning to night on the "official road" and only walking out of twenty miles.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is not even a single shadow in sight of a single person on this official road where people came and went and business vehicles were endless in the past......

"With the plague, the county guard ordered, and sure enough, all counties were sealed down!"

Zhang Ran frowned, looking at the empty official road in the distance, not far away, a city gate that seemed to be different from the county seat of Chongxian County stood tall!

"Daxian has arrived."

Zhang Ran straightened his mind and prepared to start the work of this trip.

The reason why he came out of Chongxian with cats and snakes, and also engaged in the two major disguises of disguise and Taoist robe, was to come out to see how serious the epidemic in each county was!

"The county magistrate told me before that after reporting to the county guard yesterday, the county guard ordered an investigation into the epidemic situation in each county, which shows that no one knew about the plague before."

"And the onset and lethality of this plague is surprisingly fast, if the county had spread this plague very early, then there would have been a large-scale acute death case long ago, and it is impossible to start the inventory of patients after the county has been reported."

"The only explanation is that the spread of the plague in the counties has just begun, and it will only appear within ten days at most, and with the current low-speed population flow, it is still in the early stage of the epidemic, as long as the counties are well handled, there will not be too many patients......

Zhang Ran thought silently, since there would not be too many patients, he would make more runic water, pretend to be a decoction and feed it to the patients, and he would cure the patients in all counties in a few days.

When the time comes, he will hide his merit and fame, and return to Chong County in a chic manner, which can not only save the patients, but also not delay the county order and Songtao to send qi refiners to find themselves to do things, killing two birds with one stone, why not?

With such a perfect idea, Zhang Ran patted the tiger:

"Drive!"

Whew!

The tiger roared, and its speed increased instantly, and it reached the city pass in a few clicks.

only left behind Ah Qing, who had no choice but to follow Zhang Ran and the tiger all the way......

……

"Who's coming?"

As soon as Zhang Ran approached the city on a tiger, several county soldiers on the city tower who were in charge of standing guard raised their bows and crossbows in shock, all aiming at the mysterious middle-aged Taoist who came on a tiger.

The gates of the city are closed and strictly guarded, as if facing a great enemy!

This is the first impression that Daxian County gave Zhang Ran, and on the whole, it is still very good, at least it proves that the local county government is seriously abiding by the county's lockdown order.

Zhang Ran, who was aimed, was very calm, and said loudly:

"Poor Dao is a traveling doctor, I heard that there was a plague raging in your county, and I came to help and treat the sick."

Really?!

The county soldiers were at a loss when they heard this, but they also dutifully and quickly reported it and asked for orders from their superiors......

Zhang Ran waited under the city for a while, and Ah Qing finally trotted to catch up.

"Hoo ......"

Ah Qing was carrying a bag of sundries, so tired that he was panting for breath, and glared at Zhang Ran who was there with the old god on the tiger's back with resentment.

As a monster whose cultivation is barely passable, of course she will not be as easily burdened as a mortal, but in order to cooperate with Zhang Ran, she still deliberately pretends to be physically exhausted and strives to play her mortal role.

I'm really trying my best to perform with you!

"What are you running so fast for! Miss Ben can't even catch up with ......."

Ah Qing complained in a low voice.

Zhang Ran didn't care:

"It's also good to exercise more, and you can grow taller in the future."

Grow your grandma, climb for Miss Ben!

Seeing that Ah Qing's resentment was getting heavier, Zhang Ran frowned and said:

"And what are you going to call me now?"

What do you call? Dogs, of course!

Ah Qing scolded in her heart, but on the surface she still bent over and stood, with a submissive look on her face, her attitude finally became respectful, and she clearly shouted:

"Sir! ……”

Zhang Ran seemed to shudder, he knew that there was already a sad thick barrier between them......

!

Zhang Ran shook his head, threw all these messy thoughts out of his head, and then waited for the Yamen of Daxian County to put the two of them into the city.

At this point, he felt that it was too late for the yamen to be happy, and he had his own doctor who sent him to the door, hurry up, please enter the city!

However......

"I'm sorry Lang Zhong, the boss won't let you enter the city!"

The county soldier who delivered the message poked his head out of the city tower and said loudly.

What?!

Zhang Ran was stunned when he heard this, what is the situation?

"Poor Dao is really a traveling doctor, and his medical skills are still ......"

Zhang Ran thought that the other party didn't believe in his medical skills, and was about to explain it again, but he listened to the county soldier:

"The top means, don't go into the city, we'll send people out of the city!"

……

After a while, the closed gates slowly opened, and out of the city came a large group of people with different faces, some of whom came out of the city on their own, and some of whom were pulled out by the cart lying down.

The atmosphere was desperate and deadly silent, no one was crying, some were just silent......

Crunch~

After all the patients were sent out of the city, the city gate was immediately closed again, and the county soldier upstairs said solemnly:

"The county has an order, all patients and patient contacts are sent outside the city, Langzhong, if you want to save people, you can go to save them, but before you are sure to be cured, you must not enter the city!"

Zhang Ran looked at the patients in front of him in a daze, there were quite a few of them, there were three or five hundred, but all of them showed despair, as if they were already mortal people......

"It seems that the county government has long wanted to drive the patients out of the city!"

Zhang Ran gritted his teeth, looking at the speed of sending people out, it was estimated that the county government had already planned to send all the patients out of the city and leave them to fend for themselves.

But because of the consideration of the people's feelings, the county government had to reluctantly accept them, and now Zhang Ran is here, just to give the county government an excellent reason to pick people up:

Look, I can't cure it anyway, it just so happens that there is a traveling doctor outside the city who wants to save people, and the county lord I care about the people, and I specially send the patients to you to save.

If you save it well, that is, the county master should deal with it properly, and he should be rewarded, but if he can't save it, that is, the medical skill level of the traveling doctor is not good, and the traveling doctor has a low master, what does it have to do with my wise and martial county master?

Scold!
