Chapter 16: Awakening

The appearance of the old man is too strange, not to mention the unusual snow-white boulders, the long-lasting fog, all of which indicate abnormality.

Emperor Han Qing's heart was not calm, and he followed the voice that suddenly appeared to find out, and he was also full of vigilance in his apprehension.

looked around blankly, who knew that the old man left an ambiguous word, and disappeared in an instant.

Leaving a sluggish young man, at a loss. Chewing on the lingering words that filled my mind, I couldn't figure it out. I don't know where it starts, I don't know where it ends.

I don't know if it's because the old man left, or if it's a natural phenomenon. The mist spread rapidly, filling the space for a moment. As far as the eye could see, there was darkness in front of him, and he could not reach out his fingers until his body was completely covered.

Consciousness recedes like a tide, and there is chaos,

Luoyang City, the city lord's mansion on Wangcheng Street, a meeting is being held urgently.

The cause was a street murder reported by a patrol.

A small murder case, it is said that there is no need for so many officials and masters to gather together. However, this matter is said to involve a young man who is an eleven-year-old high school Confucian, and he has to let the adults deal with it carefully. lest the superiors track it down and hold everyone accountable.

After receiving an urgent notice from the city lord, the four officials put down everything at hand and quickly gathered in the hall in the back hall of the city lord's mansion.

In the council hall, a long table was placed horizontally in the middle, and two Taishi chairs were placed on each side, and a middle-aged man with a blue face was made in the middle of the head. The first four people, looking at their noses and noses, held their breath and condensed, and did not say a word, lest they touch the moldy head of the city lord. Didn't you see the city lord jumping like thunder, at this time, hitting the muzzle of the gun, not killing himself.

The process of waiting for the storm was difficult, and it seemed that he couldn't stand the oppressive and tense atmosphere, and one of the obese men, with beads of sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but wipe it all the time. was glanced at coldly by the man in the lead, his arm hung in the air, and he didn't wipe it. In fact, it's no wonder that the fat man was really in the clouds and rain with his concubine when he received the notice, and he ran to the council hall without caring about anything else, and now he can't help but tremble. Seeing the obese man's useless appearance, the man at the head was even more angry and secretly disdainful.

slapped the table hard, and the blue tendons on his forehead were beating: "Lawless, bold, without the laws of Jiuzhou, in broad daylight, he dared to commit murder with a knife on the street." This is the first time since I presided over the affairs of Luoyang, this is a naked challenge to the authority of the city lord's mansion, and it must not be tolerated, and it must be resolutely investigated to the end and the case will be solved within a time limit. The perpetrators must be brought to justice as an example. The city patrol team was ordered to increase patrol efforts and increase patrol forces in densely populated areas to ensure the safety of the people. ”

As if he couldn't finish speaking, the man continued.

I hope that your colleagues will take this matter seriously and not let up. I'm afraid you don't know that the parties in this case have won the title of Great Confucian. The plaque given by the emperor last time was given to this person, and he was personally received by the secretary of the household department of the current dynasty.

If the case cannot be solved within the time limit, the news will leak, which will attract the concern of Shendu City. I don't need to remind you of the seriousness of the matter, do you, go down and arrange it, and let everyone go, the man leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

With the issuance of one order after another, the city lord's mansion quickly became operational, and the people in the city were surprised to find that the streets where there were no soldiers in the past were many more city guards wearing uniform armor.

With the passage of time, the blockade circle has not only not shrunk, but has expanded to include the entire city gate area. The Lijing Gate was closed to the public, and more city guards came here to look for witnesses. The nearby vendors and tourists and passers-by a few days ago all received a notice from the city lord's mansion to assist in the investigation.

A few days passed, and even though the search area was expanded, nothing was found. Gradually, the City Lord's Mansion also lost patience, and slowly could only put the matter on hold for the time being. However, the private investigation is still in full swing.

Dehua Street is only two miles away from Lijing City Gate. The street is not long, seven or eight hundred meters long, and there are mostly some vendors selling herbs on both sides of the street. Since it is placed here, the various stores are already self-evident. In fact, Dehua Street is a well-known medicinal herb trading market in Luoyang City. Where there are medicinal herbs, it is naturally inseparable from the complementarity of the medical hall.

Among them, it is famous for "Lying Grass Hall", and its medical skills are outstanding.

The grass hall is inconspicuous, and an ordinary plaque hangs at the lintel at will. But it does not hinder its status in the hearts of ordinary people in Luoyang City, and even the families of dignitaries and nobles on Wangcheng Street all come here. But there are two things that cannot be saved in the grass hall: they are not saved for non-incurable diseases, and they are not saved if they are not terminally ill. It's enough to show that you are full of confidence! It's just that it's even more popular and enjoyable.

A few days ago, a group of hurried patrols came to Dehua Street, carrying a stretcher in their hands, and on the stretcher lay a young man with a bloody face. Stopping straight at the door of the Lying Grass Hall, a soldier walked out of the queue and shouted for help.

Someone is coming, save people, people can't do it.

Later, the Wo Cao Tang took in the young man.

Today, the herb trade on Dehua Street is in full swing. There are street vendors shouting loudly, there are also two people who do not shy away from bargaining with each other in the street, and there are also people who go in and out of the lying grass hall. This is what Dehua Street has always been, buying, selling, bargaining, and seeing a doctor, forming a unique form of Dehua Street.

Lying in the grass hall, no family members brought anyone to see a doctor today. The helpers in the store were bored, and one medicine box was opened and the other was happy. There is only one helper in the front hall, and behind the curtain is the place where the sick are treated. One consultation room and five healing rooms. And in the innermost room, a pale young man lay on the bed. The young man frowned, as if he was enduring inhuman pain. Next to the bed sat an old man with his eyes closed, and beside the old man was a boy with red lips and white teeth.

"It's fine, and I'll wake up soon. ”

As he spoke, the old man opened his closed eyes, waved his hand, and a thin golden thread was wrapped around his arm.

"This son's physical fitness is beyond my imagination, he was dying when he was first sent, even the old man was not fully sure to save him, he actually gritted his teeth and persevered with his perseverance. ”

The old man looked amazed.

"Boy, come with me. I'll prescribe two more recipes to strengthen the body and invigorate qi, and you can fry them with boiling water and feed them to him. ”

The boy walked out of the house with the old man lightly.

The young man on the bed in the room lay straight and motionless on the bed.

Later, the old man made a prescription, and the boy took it to the back kitchen and worked for a long time, bringing out a bowl of black liquid.

The boy came to the room where the young man was healed, gently lifted his body, and after making sure that it was not hot, he slowly sent it to the young man's mouth.

After feeding the decoction, the boy got up and wanted to leave, and he stumbled and almost fell.

"Master, master, master...... He woke up......"

The boy's voice full of surprise resounded in the grass hall, and the young man on the bed held the boy's right hand with one hand, his eyes wide.
