Chapter 168 The Great River Goes East
The path that connects the valley to the mountains is obviously often tended to, and the soft soles of the flowers can feel the thickness of the ground when they step on the ground, and there are no weeds on the road.
The morning in the mountains is like winter, but the thick fur of the small flower does not make Li Congwen feel cold, and then he feels warmer when he looks at the girl in a thick shirt.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't come?" asked Li Congwen half-asleep.
"I ...... I just happened to stop by and when I found another sad person, I left. Little Flower followed the girl's footsteps, turning her head from side to side to look around.
Li Congwen gradually got used to sleeping while his body was moving, and when he woke up, they were in a dilapidated carriage. The carriage had no carriage, no roof, only a wooden plank behind it, surrounded by a few planks.
The wooden planks are covered with straw, and although people still have pain in their buttocks when they sit on it, it is better than nothing.
Xiaohua's ears faintly heard the sound of the river, and Li Congwen knew that he had come to the river again.
"Girl, what are you going to Chudi to do alone?" It was an old man who spoke, wearing an old linen coat and carrying the most broken carriage Li Congwen had ever made.
"A month ago, there was a big flood in Chudi, and I went to Chudi to treat people. The girl's voice was loud and the smile on her face was loud, but the wind was stronger and blew away the girl's laughter, leaving only a voice that could not be heard.
"Yo, is the girl still a doctor?"
"No, I'll make some medicine. ”
"It's a great merit to cure the sick and save people. ”
The girl smiled but didn't respond, but Li Congwen seemed to smell something different from Xiaohua's nose.
Xiaohua scratched her head when she raised it, "What did they say?"
"This girl is going to heal someone. ”
"Cure the disease, wouldn't it be nice to lick it if you are injured?" Xiaohua was about to lick her hair after speaking, but she stopped thinking of Li Congwen's words, and arched her head over the hand that the girl was hanging on the side.
The girl smiled and took Xiaohua into her arms and stroked it gently.
"What if the wound is too big? And it doesn't have to be a traumatic injury. Li Congwen felt that it was useless to say this to a cat demon, and he didn't understand it very well, so he didn't say much.
"Find someone to lick with you. ”
Li Congwen was stunned, and sure enough, it was useless to tell him.
There was nothing to do in the carriage, and Xiaohua was already napping with her eyes closed, and her mouth was open and snoring.
Li Congwen knew that Xiaohua was upside down day and night, and felt that he had to be like Xiaohua, so he also slept.
There were some bumps in the car, but both Xiaohua and the girl's bodies were very soft, and Li Congwen felt that it was right to sleep.
......
Beijing, Li Xiangfu.
Zhao Qinian walked into the house and saw Li Congwen lying on the bed with his eyes closed, motionless, and covered his mouth just as he wanted to exclaim.
"Li Xiang, ...... from the text," Zhao Qinian whispered.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, it's okay to follow the text. Li Jinglan did not lower his voice, and there was no worry on his face.
However, in Zhao Qinian's eyes, Li Xiang, who has always been calm, had a somewhat stiff face at this time.
"Let the Imperial Doctor take a look, maybe you can see something. Zhao Qinian saw Li Jinglan nodding and nodded at Gonggong Hong.
Gonggong Hong took Doctor Ding's hand and walked to the bedside, signaling that he could start.
Gonggong Hong's hand obviously didn't make any effort, but it was just lightly placed on Doctor Ding's hand, but Doctor Ding felt that once there was a change, he would definitely not survive.
Doctor Ding saluted to a few people, looked at some familiar people on the bed, and took the pulse with mixed feelings.
This time, Doctor Ding didn't have to poison Li Congwen and suppress the epidemic, as long as he tried his best to see his symptoms, so he was quite relaxed.
But after a while, he couldn't get any easier, a pulse he had never seen before.
He withdrew his hand for a moment, and remained silent for a long time.
Zhao Qinian couldn't help it, and asked a little eagerly: "Imperial Doctor, how is Congwen doing?"
Li Jinglan, who has always been calm, also loosened his stiff face a little, at this time he is not Li Xiang, he is a father.
Divine Doctor Ding hesitated for a moment, thought of the previous manager's advice, gritted his teeth and said, "Childe, he doesn't have three souls and seven spirits in his body, only one body remains." ”
After he finished speaking, he felt that his back was covered with cold sweat, which was a fear that he had never had even if he was restrained by a master.
"What?" Zhao Qinian looked at Li Xiang in horror, but he was not surprised to see Li Xiang, "Li Xiang, from the ...... of the text"
Li Jinglan smiled, "Your Majesty, Heavenly Master Zhang said the same, but Heavenly Master also said that Congwen's soul will come back soon, so don't worry." ”
"This ......" Zhao Qinian had never heard of this kind of thing, but since it was Zhang Tianshi who said it, he still believed it, after all, the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion had dealings with the previous emperors and gave a lot of help.
He glanced at Divine Doctor Ding, and felt that an imperial doctor could see that only immortals knew something very powerful, and waved his hand at him, "Reward!"
Gonggong Hong patted Doctor Ding lightly before he came back to his senses and hurriedly thanked him.
Divine Doctor Ding knew that he was one step closer to Yang Qi, a big step.
At this time, there was a small figure at the end of the street outside the side gate of Li Xiangfu.
Tai Zheng hid from a distance and looked at the group of armor soldiers, not understanding what happened to Li Xiangfu, originally he still wanted to find Brother Li to have a relationship, but now he gave him ten dares, he didn't dare to go.
He thought about it for a while, so he had to go back to her master, and he couldn't persuade him, so he could only think of a safe way to sneak into the palace.
He thought of this crying and slapped himself in the face, how could it be safe to sneak into the palace!
......
Wood Town.
It was already dusk when the carriage arrived in Muzhen, and Li Congwen looked at the familiar town with emotion.
It's still a peaceful place, the Red Lake, oh, the fish and shrimp lake is as level as a mirror, and the streets are laughing and laughing, a bit like a paradise.
Walking to the riverside, although the river water was a little higher than when they left, it was far from the point of reddening, and Li Congwen couldn't figure out where the big water came from.
And there was no particularly heavy rain in the past few months, could it be that the ancestor's talisman only protected the downstream of Muzhen?
At this time, there were still many small boats parked on the riverside, and there were many goods on board, and people kept unloading things from the boats.
The carriage was rented by the girl, but the old man confiscated the girl's money, and the old man said that it was also a great merit to help someone who wanted to save someone's life.
The girl found an inn to live in Muzhen, and spent a few copper plates to buy two servings.
"Why doesn't she give me food?" Xiaohua looked at the white rice in front of her, a little suspicious of Maosheng.
"She may feel that cats can't eat vegetables. ”
The girl saw Xiaohua looking at herself, and smiled heartily, "Don't thank me, since you follow me, if you have me, you will have you." ”
After speaking, I added a green vegetable to my mouth, it was really fragrant.
Xiaohua finished eating sadly and walked out of the inn, in Xiaohua's words, to inspect the territory.
Li Congwen slept for a day, and his head was just right, ready to appreciate this wooden town again from the perspective of a cat.
In Xiaohua's eyes, people are very tall, but he is not afraid, on the contrary, he shows some contempt for people.
Walking on the street, many people smiled at Xiaohua, and many would go in and squat down and touch him, and Xiaohua would say every time: "Look, that person came over and touched me when he talked to himself, and he touched me and asked me?"
But every time Xiaohua will let them touch enough.
"I am not uncommon to deal with them and to give to them. Xiaohua will always say this sentence after being touched.
Of course, if someone gives Xiaohua some of the food in his hand, Xiaohua will lick him compassionately and arch him with her head.
In fact, Li Congwen knew the feeling of Xiaohua being touched, and knew that Xiaohua just said no, but her body was still very honest.
Xiaohua lay on the side, listened to the conversation between the two old men from Li Congwen's mouth for a while, felt a little bored and continued to walk.
After walking for a long time, I saw two cats beating in the forest by the roadside, and the cat's meow was as terrible as a baby's cry.
"What are they doing?" asked Li Congwen curiously.
"I don't know. ”
"I don't know?" Li Congwen was stunned, "Aren't you a cat demon?"
Xiaohua squatted not far away and watched quietly, her voice was no longer high-spirited, "I can't understand the cat's speech after I enlightened the spirit." ”
"Then you should have understood before, right?"
"I don't remember what happened before. Xiaohua turned around and was about to leave.
Li Congwen was silent for a while, and suddenly felt that Xiaohua was a little similar to Xiaoyang, and even more pitiful.
"Aren't you going to play with them?"
Xiaohua's footsteps did not stop, her steps were brisk, "Hmph, I don't play with fools." ”
The bridge between the wooden towns had not been raised, and Xiaohua was a little afraid of water, so he could go to the other side to have a look.
However, he stood on the shore from afar and looked at the boat, a little curious, "What are so many boats doing over there?"
"I don't know, let's go check it out. ”
Xiaohua walked closer to the shore, but not too closely, always on the lookout for someone to drown him.
As soon as it got dark, torches were already lit on the side of the path by the shore, and the strong wind by the river blew the fire, and the shadows under people also swayed.
Many stout men took off the hemp cloth bags from the boat and transported them to the cart, which was a wheelbarrow unique to Muzhen, and turned back to the side of the boat to continue.
There was a man who wiped the sweat from his head after moving, the late summer night was not cool, and his cloth was soaked after doing so much physical work.
He saw Xiaohua squatting next to him staring at the burlap bag, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua cat, this bag is food to save people, you can't steal it." ”
"What did he say?"
"He said there was food in the bag, so you don't steal it. ”
"Stealing food, I'm that kind of cat, and I won't eat him when he begs me to eat it!"
Seeing that Xiaohua seemed to have some expression, the man simply sat next to him and gasped, and said in a rambling voice, "Our Mingwu Shengshi has just started but encountered a big flood, and our luck is really bad." But fortunately, a lot of grain has been transported from the south, and many people can be killed, otherwise it will be a miserable scene of floating corpses all over the field. ”
He didn't care if Xiaohua could understand it, and then said to himself: "Alas, I heard that this flood has not been seen for a hundred years, and it seems that nearly 10,000 households along the river in Chudi have been affected, and many people have been washed away by the flood, and the crops have also deteriorated a lot. Fortunately, the adults of the imperial court came in time and did a lot of things that we don't understand, we only know that the imperial court has saved a lot, and this is enough, we can only give the court some meager efforts and save more people. ”
He sighed again, patted his ass and stood up, continuing to carry the food off the ship.
