Chapter 298: Three Birds with One Stone

The war between man and demon, which lasted for hundreds of years, the demon world was menacing, the labor force moved the people, and the disaster of Huaguo was carried out, but it was the bloody Flying Eagle Action Brigade and the officers and soldiers of Huaguo who counterattacked in self-defense, and they faced head-on attacks, lost their troops and lost their generals, and had no choice but to end in failure.

............

On the edge of the Yellow River on the high slope of the loess of Taihang Mountain, there is a young man named Qin Huailiang, during the war between man and demon, his parents died, leaving him alone, lonely, every day, relying on a small wooden boat, barely ferrying on the Yellow River to make a living.

On this day, Qin Huailiang, who was bored and was waiting on the ferry to wait for business, suddenly found a strange bamboo raft floating from the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

Often ferrying in the Yellow River, Qin Huailiang has long practiced his keen eyes, he looked at the size of the bamboo raft and the depth of the draft from a distance, and judged that there must be people on the raft, but there was no human figure in sight. He squinted, took a closer look, and saw a person lying on the bamboo raft, wrapped in black cloth.

Qin Huailiang pulled his throat curiously, and shouted loudly: "Hey, is there anyone on the bamboo raft?

There was no response, and the bamboo raft slowly drifted over.

Qin Huailiang shrank his nose, and suddenly, he smelled a very pungent stench, and was taken aback, and when he sniffed it carefully, this stench came from the bamboo raft that had mysteriously floated over.

After a while, the bamboo raft finally floated towards the ferry, although the bamboo raft was small, but on it, there was a big wooden sign, densely written with some words.

Qin Huailiang's parents were dead, his family was poor, and he couldn't read anything, so he didn't know what was written on the wooden sign? However, curiosity prompted him to poke at the top of the small bamboo raft with two long poles, so that the bamboo raft stopped.

As soon as the raft stopped, the stench became even greater. Qin Huailiang was about to step forward to take a look.

At this time, an old man with gray hair hurriedly came over, got into Qin Huailiang's boat, and said that he had something urgent to cross the river.

After getting on the boat, the old man suddenly smelled the stench, saw the bamboo raft that Qin Huailiang blocked with a bamboo pole, frowned, sighed, and said: "Alas!

Qin Huailiang asked puzzledly, "Old man, what do you mean by this? Do you know who is lying on the bamboo raft?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Who is the girl lying on it?" I don't know, but I do know that she is a half-dead person, and she is almost far from dying. Don't you see the words written on this sign?' 'This woman is seriously ill, and there are a few pennies next to her, and if the person who finds her dead, please bury it with the help of a good Samaritan.'" ”

Qin Huailiang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, don't look at me as young, but I can't read!"

"No wonder," the old man was so choked by the stench wafting from the bamboo raft that his face tilted to the side, and hurriedly said to Qin Huailiang: "Child, if I guess correctly, this girl's illness must be a highly contagious 'Hades Sorrow'." People who have this disease are bound to rot all over their bodies, their skin is black, and they will not be able to endure it for many days, and they will be finished, and this disease is extremely contagious, and ordinary people had better not come closer, and they will be stained with death, and they will die!"

Qin Huailiang heard that the goosebumps on his body rose, and he hurriedly asked the old man: "Uncle, did you say that this person is dead?"

Although the old man is old, but his eyes are not flowering, he looked at the little bamboo raft, saw that there was a piece of rice cake on the bamboo raft, pinched his fingers, and said: "It should not be out of breath, people who have this disease will generally be tortured, and it will take ten days to half a month before they die, look at the rest of the rice cake, this girl, she should have this disease for three to five days." After the end of the war between man and demon, the disease was menacing, and I heard that several Lang Zhong took the risk to be treated, but they were infected and died one after another. Kid, we'd better stay away from this raft, and hold up the ferry!"

"No, uncle, save someone's life, win the seventh-level floating slaughter, this girl hasn't died yet, isn't it too cruel for the two of us to ignore it. ”

"That's right, young man, but the two of us don't know medicine, and we don't know medicine, so if we go up rashly, we may even take our lives. Let's go!"

"No, old man, I won't do this business today, please get off the boat!"

"Alas, young man, don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you, forget it, I'm not the river!"

The old man got off the boat, shook his head, and muttered away.

Qin Huailiang was waiting in his boat, and when he saw someone passing by, he pulled his throat and shouted: "Who can cure the disease of 'Hades Sorrow', take a hand, save people's lives, and accumulate yin virtue." ”

As soon as passers-by heard the words "Hades are worried", they didn't dare to step forward, and for three days, no one dared to go to the river to ferry.

On this day, Tong Qing inspected and transformed into a white-bearded old man with a gourd, came to the bank of the Yellow River, looked at the sign on the bamboo raft, brushed his beard, took a strip of cloth, pulled out the gourd stopper, and suddenly there was a burst of fragrance.

The gourd was crooked, and the yellow thing fell on the strip of cloth, and the white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing wiped all the exposed skin with the strip of cloth. After wiping it, he beckoned Qin Huailiang over, poured out some yellow potion from the gourd, and wiped it on Qin Huailiang's skin.

The two of them pulled the bamboo raft closer, and the white-bearded old man who had been transformed by Tong Qing waved his hand and motioned for him to go up first. After he went up, he looked back and forth, and then beckoned Qin Huailiang to come over.

Qin Huailiang got on the bamboo raft, and when he saw the girl lying on the bamboo raft, he was startled, the girl's whole body was wrapped in black cloth, only the mouth and nose were exposed, and the nose and mouth were blistered, and the color was black and purple. The girl's limbs were tied to a bamboo raft with ropes to keep her from moving, and on either side of her head were two extra-large nest heads for her to eat.

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing leaned down, and instead of loosening the rope on the girl's body, he paid attention to the two big nests for the girl to eat.

Qin Huailiang didn't know what was going on, and shouted crookedly: "Old man, you quickly loosen your ties and save people, what are you doing just looking at the nest and nest? Are you always hungry?"

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing couldn't cry or laugh, glared at Qin Huailiang, and said, "Young man, don't talk nonsense. Have you noticed it, this big nest of bright nests, although it is made of yellow corn flour, but you see where this girl has gnawed, there is a place that is a little white. ”

Qin Huailiang was confused when he heard this, and asked, "What does that mean?"

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing smiled slightly and said, "That's nothing else, it's silver!"

Qin Huailiang was stunned: "Grandpa, are you saying that there is silver in the nest head?" There is no need, this girl has a few hangs of money around her, enough to bury her, why is there still money in it?"

The white-bearded old man who transformed into Tong Qing said: "This family has no choice but to release this girl, I'm afraid there is something unspeakable." According to common sense, someone met a bamboo raft, took the money, and buried the girl, but there was silver in the nest, which means ......"

Qin Huailiang interrupted Tong Qing's disillusioned white-bearded old man's words, and asked eagerly, "What does it mean?"

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing did not answer Qin Huailiang's question, but took out a box of gold needles for acupuncture from his arms, and pierced it on the girl's forehead with a "whoosh", and then poured the potion in the gourd into his hand and rubbed it back and forth. After doing this, something happened that Qin Huailiang couldn't understand: the white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing reached out and picked up the two nest heads, turned them over, and looked at them carefully.

Qin Huailiang smirked and said, "You old man, it's really strange, do you want to eat?"

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing ignored Qin Huailiang, he put the two nest heads on the ground together, picked out the white place with his hand, and sure enough, he pulled out a piece of silver.

Qin Huailiang saw that the piece of silver was not small, and said, "It turns out that the big head is inside." ”

The white-bearded old man who had been transformed by Tong Qing hurriedly broke open another nest, and there was a crumpled piece of paper wrapped in plastic sheeting in the middle! The white-bearded old man transformed by Tong Qing was not calm, he quickly unfolded the paper, and saw a few lines of words written on it.

Qin Huailiang was anxious: "Old man, what kind of words are written on it? I can't read, you can read it to me." ”

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's useless for you to hear it, it's better that you still don't know, now it's important for us to save people first." The white-bearded old man who Tong Qing transformed untied the seriously ill girl and put it on Qin Huailiang's back, letting him carry it to his residence.

This Qin Huailiang is also a stupid boy, the lamb is not afraid of the tiger biting, he is not afraid of being infected with a strange disease, but he has wind on his feet, and he really carried the girl to the small thatched hut where the white-bearded old man who was transformed by Tong Qing lived temporarily.

For three days in a row, Qin Huailiang did not go to the Yellow River to ferry, nor did he go home, but concentrated on accompanying the white-bearded old man who had been transformed by Tong Qing, trying to save the poor girl.

The people by the river, seeing that Qin Huailiang was gone, began to spread gossip, saying that he was infected by that girl, and both of them died, and sank to the bottom of the river to become merry ghosts. Some people even said that although Qin Huailiang is stupid, he is not a bad person, this is to let the goblin hook his soul, which is really pitiful. Qin Huailiang saw that the money was open, took the money, threw the girl into the Yellow River and ran away. For a while, gossip was full of gossip, and there was everything to say.

After three days of treatment, the girl actually got better, and she could drink a few mouthfuls of porridge, Qin Huailiang wanted to ask about the girl's situation, but he was surprised to find that the other party turned out to be a mute and couldn't speak. Qin Huailiang said to the white-bearded old man who had been transformed into Tong Qing: "Old man, what is going on with this girl? She is a mute person, and she can't speak, and she is in a hurry." ”

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing stroked his beard and said, "I don't need her words, this paper has been written very clearly." ”

Qin Huailiang hurriedly asked, "Old man, what is written on the paper?"

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing still sold Guan Zi and said, "You don't understand it, when I finish this thing, you will naturally know." ”

The next day, the white-bearded old man who was transformed by Tong Qing called a carrier pigeon and tied two medicine bags to its paws, the left one was written "Cure the disease, do not take it if there is no disease", and the right one was written "Strengthen the body and tonify the medicine, prolong life after use, and increase the longevity of the yang for three years".

The carrier pigeon purred and flew away.

Four days later, a middle-aged man dressed in coarse linen found the white-bearded old man who had been transformed by Tong Qing and said, "Thank you, old man, my master and my mother have recovered from their illness." ”

Qin Huailiang was stunned for a moment, and asked eagerly, "Who are you? Who is the master and mother of your family? What is your relationship with this sick girl?"

The person who came said: " My name is Lu Dafu, is the housekeeper of Zhao Xinpeng's family, a wealthy businessman in Hejin County, a wealthy place on the bank of the Yellow River, this girl is a maid in Zhao's mansion, her name is Wang Xiuping, she is a poor little mute, sixteen years old this year, a few days ago, suddenly, Wang Xiuping accidentally got a sudden illness, vomiting and diarrhea, stinking, she had this illness for several days, asked for medical treatment, did not get better, and became more and more serious, only to find that a little bit wrong, however, it was too late to make amends, Wang Xiuping was sick, or often went in and out of the owner's room to clean, that's it, the owner Zhao Xinpeng and the housemother Liu Xiuzhen and his wife were both infected with a terrible strange disease. On the afternoon of the day Wang Xiuping was released, the master and the mother fell on the bed and couldn't get up. ”

Qin Huailiang couldn't understand, he interrupted and said, "Since Wang Xiuping is a poor mute, she can't speak, I don't know why?

Lu Dafu shook his head helplessly, and said: "With this strange disease, nine out of ten people died, and there was no way to put her on a bamboo raft, so she could only wait to die, it was better than putting it on the ground, and I was afraid that she would infect others again." Moreover, the bamboo raft went down the river, and if she met a good doctor, she might be able to pick up a small life. ”

Qin Huailiang nodded, and asked again, "Why are there silver and notes hidden in those two nests?"

Lu Dafu looked at Qin Huailiang, then at the white-bearded old man beside him, and said with a wry smile: "This disease is very serious, outsiders know that it is not a miracle doctor, so I dare not approach, let alone reach out to touch the two nest heads, for fear of infection and bad luck, as long as someone dares to touch the two nest heads, it means that this person is a miracle doctor with confidence." Inside the two nests, there was silver and a note on which there was the address of my family and the illness of the couple, and the silver was used by the well-wishers to buy medicine. ”

The more Qin Huailiang listened, the more strange he became, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Outside your family, since you are a wealthy businessman, your family must be very rich, so why can't you directly find Lang Zhong for treatment, but instead make such a big detour?"

Lu Dafu sighed and said: "Outside my family, Zhao Yuan, because of his upright temperament, righteousness and squandering money, he refused to go along with the insatiable county official Wang Dongcheng, and the common people were fished and fleshed, so he offended the yamen. The yamen wished that my family members died early, and after learning that my family members were infected with the 'Hades Sorrow' at the same time, they were overjoyed, and the dog official Wang Dongcheng sent more than a dozen officials to guard the gate of the house day and night, and Lang Zhong was not allowed to enter, that is, the people in the house went in and out to buy vegetables and daily necessities, and they had to search their bodies and not let the medicine in. Fortunately, my family members had a mind outside the family, so that the note for help was hidden in the steamed nest. ”

After hearing this, Qin Huailiang glanced at the white-bearded old man who had been transformed by Tong Qing, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that these things are written on the note, no wonder your old man tied the medicine powder to the carrier pigeon, it turned out that he wanted to send it to Zhao Yuanwai's house to save people!"

The white-bearded old man who had been transformed by Tong Qing asked Lu Dafu: "There are two kinds of medicine on the carrier pigeon, have you ever taken them?"

Lu Dafu shook his head and said: "My family members and Mrs., they just took the medicine to treat the disease first, the tonic medicine, and wanted to take it in a few days, but I didn't expect that the Yamen was about to hear the rumors, and suddenly entered the house to search, and snatched the medicine and handed it over to the dog official Wang Dongcheng." However, I heard that after the dog official Wang Dongcheng ate it, he died with a whimper, old man, I want to ask you something, is it that tonic is not something that everyone can eat?"

The white-bearded old man who had transformed into Tong Qing laughed and said, "That's not a tonic at all, but a huge poison." I calculated that those corrupt officials would definitely go to grab the medicine, so I ......"

Lu Dafu and Qin Huailiang couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha......" laughed.

Three months later, Qin Huailiang happily married Wang Xiuping, a white-bearded old man who had been transformed by Tong Qing, who had healed the plague infection and could speak.

It turned out that after the end of the war between humans and demons, the female demon Yu Die'er, who was unwilling to fail, vented her anger and took revenge, spreading the plague of "Hades", scourging the people of China, and causing many disasters. Tong Qing shouldered a heavy responsibility, timely transformed into a white-bearded old miracle doctor, smashed the conspiracy of the female demon Yu Die'er, hung the pot to help the world, rejuvenated the wonderful hands, saved the people of China from fire and water, and returned the world to peace, he inspected all parts of China, when he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River on the Loess Plateau, he happened to meet the kind-hearted young man Qin Huailiang, who was as careful as a hair, and found out in time that Zhao Xinpeng, a wealthy businessman in Hejin County, took great pains to hide silver notes in the middle of the steamed nest head to seek adviceThe patients infected by the "Yama Wangchou" plague blocked the way for the spread of the malignant plague virus infection; and also made the kind-hearted young Qin Huailiang get a good reward, get rid of his order, and marry Wang Xiuping, a beautiful girl who is in good health; and skillfully punished Wang Dongcheng, a corrupt official who was insatiable and took the blame for himself, and removed a harm from the people of Hejin County, which greatly pleased the people.
