"Lord Bai, it's this token."

The obese man was flattering and offering a token to the people in the audience.

"Well, Mayor Wang, you did a good job, you have merit in exterminating the bandits this time, I will write to ask for credit for you, you go back first."

Bai Xian Ling said lightly, and a wisp of murderous intent was revealed in his eyes, which flashed in a flash.

"Thank you, sir! Subordinates say goodbye! Wang Zhen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"Humph!" After Mayor Wang walked out of the door, Bai Xian Ling snorted lightly in his nostrils and stared at the back of Mayor Wang's back with a sneer.

Mayor Wang, who was walking on the road, suddenly had a cold war, and his heart was inexplicable.

Glancing left and right, there were only two family members, thinking that it was just a natural reaction of the body.

Without thinking about it anymore, he walked out of the door with a happy face.

…

"The master is back! Try my craft! Zhong Yuanxiu greeted Dr. Li warmly.

At nightfall, Dr. Li returned home with a medicine box and a basket in his hand

Fruit.

At this hour, Zhong Yuanxiu had already prepared a meal and was waiting at home.

A pot of snake soup, a pot of rabbit meat.

The snake soup simply added some salt, foam powder and ginger, and then sprinkled with something similar to coriander and celery, which looked a bit nondescript.

Compared with snake soup, the rabbit is better handled, a simplified version of the "spicy diving rabbit".

The only thing missing is chili peppers, because there are few people in Thang Long who like spicy things, so there are not many condiments similar to chili peppers.

At first, I searched for a long time when stir-frying, but I didn't find any spicy condiments.

Later, I heard that most of the people in Shenglong Kingdom did not like spicy food, which made Zhong Yuanxiu, a native of Dongchuan, speechless for a long time.

Hearing the apprentice's greeting, Dr. Li looked at the food on the dining table, and then walked over with the medicine box and fruits.

Zhong Yuanxiu took a basket of fruits from his master's hand with both hands, grabbed a fruit similar to a pear, and gnawed it down.

"Hmmm! It's sweet! Zhong Yuanxiu chewed the fruit in his mouth and smiled indistinctly.

Doctor Li shook his head when he heard this, and he didn't know how to help him carry the medicine box, so he stared at the fruit.

The patient's family gave it to him, and he didn't even have time to taste it.

Putting down the medicine box and looking at the two meat dishes, Dr. Li immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He said calmly: "Eat, eat, I'm hungry after a busy day." ”

Dr. Li, as the elder, should move the chopsticks first.

After the master put a piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks in his mouth, Zhong Yuanxiu followed.

He hasn't eaten meat for more than ten days, and he's very hungry!

"Hmmm! Well! Well! ”

Dr. Li nodded a few times, and kept chewing the rabbit meat in his mouth, obviously thinking that this dish was very delicious.

"Yuan Xiu, pour me a bowl of wine!" Doctor Li commanded with a smile.

The apprentice grabbed the wine jar, poured a full bowl of wine and put it in front of the master.

Dr. Li took a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and he ate very happily.

"Your craftsmanship is really good, but don't be proud, there is still a lot of room for improvement!" After eating for a while, Dr. Li pointed to the two dishes on the table and praised.

Zhong Yuanxiu didn't speak, he was also busy eating meat, so he nodded casually.

The two chatted while eating, Zhong Yuanxiu said today's hunting, and Dr. Li lamented that he was old and sick and died.

Only Li Yinyin ate quietly.

However, she didn't dare to eat snake meat, and most of them were solved by the master and apprentice.

The next morning.

Dr. Li slowly woke up from the dream, he drank too much last night, and his apprentice carried him back.

"Hey...... Ah...... Dr. Li held his forehead with one hand, and his brain was still groggy under the influence of wine.

I touched the soft mattress under me, and I felt that I had to sleep for a while, so I closed my eyes again.

Speaking of this mattress, how to move into Dr. Li's room, it is still more interesting.

Ten days ago, in order to honor him, the drunkard master, Zhong Yuanxiu was stunned to tear down the door frame and stuff it in.

Since then, Dr. Li has enjoyed the modern quality of Bluestar in terms of sleeping.

"Dad, get up, don't sleep! Said that I would go to the town to sell herbs today, you see you, you drank too much. Li Yinyin, who was at the door of Dr. Li's room, blamed, still holding a bowl of decanting soup in his hand.

Dr. Li, who had just closed his eyes, turned his back to Li Yinyin, and said lazily: "Well, I know, wait a minute." With that, he went back to sleep.

…

"Thank you Yuan Xiu, for your blessings!" Aunt Wang thanked Zhong Yuanxiu with a smile on her face.

"You're welcome, we can't finish it." Zhong Yuanxiu nodded and smiled.

"Okay, if you have anything, just ask me, and I'll definitely help if I can." Aunt Wang patted her chest and made a guarantee.

Such scenes occur all over Sunset Village.

This is exactly what Zhong Yuanxiu took the snake meat that had not been cooked yesterday and sent a pound from door to door.

There is no refrigerator in this world, and it is a waste to break down after a long time, so it is better to be a favor and contact the villagers.

…

"Did the master get up, and did he still go to town?" Zhong Yuanxiu, who came back from dividing the snake meat, looked at Li Yinyin and asked.

"Still sleeping." Li Yinyin pouted, seeming a little angry.

She was most upset with her drunken and unpunctual father.

"Who said I'm still sleeping, can't I get up?" Dr. Li's voice came from inside the room, and then a little old man with a drunken body walked out.

Sleepy-eyed approached Zhong Yuanxiu and Li Yinyin.

The corners of Zhong Yuanxiu's mouth gradually slid down, and his brows furrowed slightly.

And Li Yinyin pinched her nose and directly accused: "I'm full of alcohol, go take a shower!" ”

Listening to his daughter's slightly angry voice, Dr. Li smiled.

"Let's go, I'm going."

"Yo? It turned out to be a daughter slave, hahahahaha. Zhong Yuanxiu sneered in his heart, and the corners of his mouth hooked again.

A quarter of an hour later, Dr. Li took a cold shower, changed his clothes, and the smell of alcohol was gone.

I went to the next village and borrowed an ox cart and came back.

After the three of them had a brief lunch, they loaded all the medicinal herbs into the car and set off.

Fortunately, the weather was good on this day, the sun was not too big, and the breeze was just right.

Zhong Yuanxiu, who was sitting in an ox cart, was lying flat on a bag of herbs and looking at the sky, his heart was quiet and beautiful, this was the life he longed for before.

There was no word along the way, only a stout bull pulling a large cart, the wheels below creaking, and the sound of a bamboo strip or two from time to time.

It was a quiet march for half an hour.

…

"Help us, okay, okay, we haven't eaten in two days!"

On the side of the road, a woman holding a little girl of five or six years old knelt on the ground crying and pleading, followed by three elderly people, who also knelt down.

Zhong Yuanxiu, who was half-asleep and half-awake sleeping on the herbs, heard the crying and sat up.

As soon as he glanced at the woman and the little girl on the ground, the whole person fell into the ox cart with a stroke of the herb packet.

An "oops" sounded.

Seeing that these five people were pitiful, Dr. Li had already stopped the ox cart.

Li Yinyin, who was sitting in front of the board car, saw Zhong Yuanxiu fall to the ground, and hurriedly came down to help.

"Brother Zhong, are you hurt?" Li Yinyin asked with concern, with a worried face.

"No, even if it's hurt, as long as Yinyin helps me up, it'll be fine soon." Zhong Yuanxiu said with a half-squinted grin, looking like he was enjoying it.

"Oops! Ah! ”

Zhong Yuanxiu, who was half-helped, was let go, fell to the ground again, and made an "oops" sound again.

"Are you ashamed?" Li Yinyin, whose ears were half red, said coquettishly.

"Natural reaction, personality dictates." The two than the young man said hey, no longer teasing Li Yinyin.

Because he saw that the master's face had darkened.

Seeing that the apprentice was honest, Dr. Li turned his head to look at the five people who were praying, and asked with concern, "Where are you from?" How did you get to us. ”

The five of them didn't answer when they heard this, they just looked at each other, and they couldn't understand the language spoken by Dr. Li that was similar to Dongchuan dialect.

"Master, when it comes to official language, they don't understand." Zhong Yuanxiu reminded.

Dr. Li's old face was a little unsightly, and then he asked a few people in that crappy and stiff official language.

Although Dr. Li's official words were indeed indescribable, they fortunately understood.

"We are from Hongliu Village, Lijiang County, and the Lieyang (country) invaded, burned, killed and looted.

The Celestial Empire sent an army to resist, but I never thought that the thieves did not drive it away, and in turn collected military rations and robbed all our food......"

The woman cried, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

"But Zhujiang County is in Zhuyang Province?" Doctor Li immediately helped her up when he heard what the woman said, and then asked again.

The woman didn't say anything more, just nodded, wiped her tears vigorously, and the little girl next to her reached out to help her mother wipe them.

Seeing this, the little old man didn't ask any more questions, turned around and took off all the dry food and water and handed them to the mother and daughter.

The woman stretched out her hand to take it and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, thanking her without stopping.

Dr. Li and the three of them got on the board car, snap! Syllable! The bamboo stick was pumped on the cow's buttocks, and the bull moved forward again.

After the ox cart left the five of them for some distance, Dr. Li looked sad and said with a deep sigh: "The world is difficult! ”

Zhong Yuanxiu was also deeply touched by the woman's words just now.

When families are broken and people are displaced, the world is no longer the world.

"Master, where is this Zhuyang Province?" Zhong Yuanxiu asked.

"Zhuyang Province is adjacent to our Nanfeng Province, and it is a necessary route for the Lieyang Empire to invade Thang Long Kingdom.

If the Lieyang Kingdom opens up Zhuyang Province, it will be our turn to Nanfeng Province next. ”

Doctor Li said with a solemn expression.

"Wofun!? It's scary! No way! No way!

I just crossed over and encountered this kind of thing, it's over, it's over! ”

Zhong Yuanxiu was shocked, and shouted with wide eyes!

Syllable! A bamboo stick landed on Zhong Yuanxiu's head, causing Zhong Yuanxiu's dog head to retract and stop the nonsense in his mouth.

"Panic what! It's been more than ten years, and I haven't seen it. "Dr. Li hates that iron is not steel, and he is still so timid at such an age.

"I hope so! If I did, I would have run away, and I wouldn't have been able to run away.

I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, so I can't have an accident! ”

Erbi Youth muttered in his heart, and then looked at Li Yinyin in front of the cart.

…

Aries Town.

The ox cart dragged the three men in coarse linen clothes to the town, and it took an hour and a half from Sunset Village to the town gate.

The gate of the town was bustling with people, and two Baohe Tuan's disciples were on duty with wooden spears in their hands.

Not far away, a dozen ragged strangers crouched in the corner, looking very pitiful.

Seeing this group of three people, this group of refugees immediately ran over and asked for help.

Dr. Li didn't dare to pay any more attention.

He can't help, if he helps one, there will be the next, it's not something that can be solved by one person.

Dr. Li drove close to the entrance of the town, and one of the Baohe Tuan's disciples on duty came up to check it.

After the incident, he didn't notice any problems, so he let them in.

The town wall on the outskirts of Aries Town is a symbolic wall, and pedestrians are allowed in other places, but vehicles are not allowed to pass, so they can only take the main road.

The ground of the town is paved with locally produced stone slabs, and the streets entering the town are straight, with several intersecting streets leading to other places after more than 100 meters ahead.

The houses on both sides of each street are neatly lined and the opposite side is of the same color.

This made Zhong Yuanxiu stunned, is it sure that it is a border town?

The young man watched all the way on the ox cart, and it really looked like a hillbilly had entered the city.

"Huh? Billboard, arrest the real culprit? Zhong Yuanxiu suddenly saw a notice in the center of the street.

This is the first time he has seen something that can only be seen in a TV series.

Jumping out of the ox cart, the young man strode close to the bulletin board, reading a notice in his mouth: "On the 17th day of April in the thirteenth year of Guangwu, Wang Huaifu, the mayor of Baiyang Town, was killed by thieves, and now a reward of 1,000 taels of silver is offered to arrest the real culprit. ”
