"Brother Changgui, don't blame me. My sister has never seen the world, so she offended me. What's the name of that 'miracle doctor' you mentioned just now? Does she live in Huarong County?"
Guo Mo suddenly became a little interested in this 'miracle doctor'. Anyway, he would go to Huarong County on his way back to the east, so he still needs to make necessary supplements.
"You're really asking me this question. In the past ten years, everyone has called him 'miracle doctor' and 'miracle doctor'. It seems that no one has ever called him by his name."
"Age, it should be younger than me, less than 40 years old. I married the daughter of a local family named Nan and gave birth to a son who is 12 years old this year."
"However, this child is called Nan Tian after his mother's surname."
This Chang Gui is really a talkative person, as soon as the chatterbox is opened, he can't stop talking.
Later, seeing that Huang Rong was a little sleepy, she was a little embarrassed, cleaned up the dishes, and left.
"Tigers and leopards are hidden deep in the mountains, and unicorns are buried in the fields. Brother Mo, I don't think there are such people in this small Huarong County."
"Rong'er, go to sleep, there are so many strange people and strangers, they can benefit the hometown, and it's not a waste of what you have learned."
At dawn the next day, Guo Mo and Huang Rong got up early.
Seeing Chang Gui, he was already busy outside.
"Both, you slept well last night. Breakfast is ready and I'll bring it to you two right away. In addition, I've finished feeding and drinking your horses, and you can start at any time."
Guo Mo took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chang Gui.
"Brother Changgui, this is five taels of silver, and it will be counted as the board and lodging expenses for the two of us."
"How can this be, the young master ordered that you can't take money from the two of you..."
Guo Mo insisted on giving the money to Chang Gui. As for whether he kept it for himself or handed it over to their young master, that was not Guo Mo's concern.
After the two simply had breakfast, Chang Gui brought the two horses over.
It seemed that Chang Gui had put his heart into it, he had also scrubbed the two horses, and there were still some things hanging on the horses' backs.
"Both of you, I've taken the initiative to bring you both a water bag and some food for the road. It will take more than 130 miles to get to Huarong County."
"I forgot to tell you two, there are two villages in the south of Huarong County that are suffering from plague, and the miracle doctor seems to have passed. If you two are fine, it is best not to go south."
Guo Mo thanked Chang Gui for his heartwarming arrangements and kind reminders.
The two left the market town and continued heading east.
"Brother Mo, this place is called 'Huarong County', is it the place on Huarong Road in the Three Kingdoms?"
There are many theories in later generations about Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi and the "Huarong Road" where he fled.
The place name does have this place name. The problem is that many place names are called "Huarong Road". Yueyang in Hunan, Qianjiang in Hubei, Shishou, ez, and Jingzhou all have allusions about Huarong Road.
Most scholars agree that it is Zhoulaozui Town in Jianli County, Jingzhou, not Huarong County in Yuezhou at this time.
"Rong'er, there are stories of 'Huarong Road' circulating here, but it may not be the one that Cao Cao took back then."
"Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake are not far from here. If we hadn't rushed back this time, it would be a good place to visit."
"Wait, when there is nothing to do in the future, I will take Rong'er to travel all over the world."
"Hmph, I'll say it nicely. I remember what someone said before, and I made a vow today. Who knows when it will be fulfilled."
Did I say that?Guo Mo feels that his integrity has been questioned.
For more than 130 miles, the two of them were not in a hurry, and even passed by some villages and towns with people, and went in to have a rest and eat some pancakes and bacon brought by Chang Gui.
At noon, the two arrived in Huarong County.
At this time, in Huarong County, in addition to the normal sentry posts at the city gate, there were actually increased interrogations.
After asking, I found out that the plague in the south had added another village.
Starting today, anyone coming from the south will not be allowed to enter the city.
Although this is the west gate, I still found that some people who came from the south were not allowed to enter at the south gate, so they went to other gates to try their luck.
After some interrogation, he could not avoid secretly "exploiting" everyone.
Guo Mo and Huang Rong, riding horses and carrying weapons, looked like people from the Jianghu.
After entering the county seat, the two found that the streets were much deserted, perhaps caused by the plague.
At noon, many shops were closed, and the two finally found a small shop where they could eat.
It's really a small shop with only five tables, one waiter and one shopkeeper.
It was time to eat, but there was no one in the shop.
Guo Mo and Huang Rong tied their horses to the door and walked in.
Seeing a customer come in, the shopkeeper and the waiter didn't come to receive them, but they didn't come here either, so there's no need to mention the entanglement.
"Shopkeeper, we came from Xiangxi and headed east. It's time to eat. We happened to pass by Huarong County, so we came in to have a meal and rest."
Guo Mo first introduced himself, which really dispelled the two people's wariness.
The waiter hurried over and wiped the table, and the shopkeeper followed by and apologized.
"You two guest officers, don't blame me. The plague has been raging in the south these days. I heard that people have already started to die." Here we are, we still feel guilty in our hearts."
"Guest officer, what do you two want to eat?"
Guo Mo and the two really don't know what kind of dishes this small shop can cook.
The shopkeeper seemed to have noticed that if the other big shops were not closed, these two would not be able to come to his small shop.
"Well, two guest officers, the fish in the store is not bad, especially the black-shell crucian carp from Tianjia Lake. The meat is delicious. How about giving you two a taste?"
"In addition, our family's 'tuanzi' can also be made. I think that when the second master Guan passed by, he also ate it."
Well, this one took the legend seriously.
Guo Mo didn't have much time to choose either. There was a plate of "Huarong Hometown Dumplings", a plate of "Braised Crucian Carp", a plate of "Stir-Fried Bamboo Shoots", and a plate of "Scrambled Eggs".
It is said that the egg is Huarong's local egg, and celebrities from the Three Kingdoms such as "Cao Cao", "Hua Tuo", "Zhang Fei" and "Sun Shangxiang" were pulled out.
What he ate for this meal made Guo Mo "experienced a lot".
The food was almost finished, so Guo Mo called the shopkeeper over.
"Shopkeeper, ask me, what happened to the plague in the south?"
When Guo Mo asked this, the shopkeeper trembled. Seeing that this was the only table of guests today, the shopkeeper forced himself to be calm.
"To tell you the truth, the plague started only the day before yesterday. It is said that a Nanman came to a village and warned the people in the village that the plague was about to break out. If he can send 500 taels of silver, he can guarantee the safety of the village. "
"Who can believe him? I never thought that the next day, the plague would break out in this village, and everyone remembered this Southern barbarian."
"The Nanmanzi didn't leave. He practiced medicine and sold medicine at the entrance of the village. A pair of medicines cost one tael of silver. Although they are a little expensive, they can really cure diseases."
"Those who have no money to buy medicine can only wait to die. However, I heard that yesterday, the genius doctor has personally passed by, and it must be able to completely eliminate the plague."
As soon as Guo Mo and Huang Rong heard this, they knew there was something tricky about it.
What kind of plague is this? It's obvious that someone intentionally poisoned people to cheat their money and kill them.
"Shopkeeper, didn't a doctor come by in the past two days?"
"Why not? On the day the plague broke out, two doctors passed by. Who would have thought that the next morning, someone would discover that these two doctors had also contracted the plague and died."
"Brother Mo, if that's the case, wouldn't it be dangerous if the 'miracle doctor' passed away?"
Of course Huang Rong was saying that she was afraid that the "miracle doctor" would be killed by gangsters, but the shopkeeper was wrong.
"Haha, little girl, you really underestimate our 'miracle doctor' here."
"This miraculous doctor has been here for more than ten years, and he lives next door to this old man, and he often likes to go to the small shop for a drink or two."
"Don't look at him with a limping leg. There is absolutely nothing to say about his medical skills. No matter how severe the plague is, it can't hurt the 'miracle doctor' at all."
"The plague is so severe, why does the shopkeeper trust this 'miracle doctor' so much?"
Looking at the shopkeeper's proud expression, Guo Mo asked.
"Haha, what you two don't know is that this 'miracle doctor' can refine a kind of elixir. Although he dare not talk about bringing the dead back to life, he often saves people from dying. On the old man's 50th birthday, he was lucky to be presented by the 'miracle doctor' One grain."
The shopkeeper was afraid that the two of them would not believe it, so he ran to the back and brought back an exquisite box.
Open the box, inside is a pill wrapped in soft paper.
Immediately, there was a burst of fragrance, and Huang Rong's eyes lit up.
When the shopkeeper opened the package again, even Guo Mo recognized it.
"Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills—"
Chapter 154: Nantian Apprenticeship
"Rong'er, this is..."
Huang Rong nodded slightly.
It seems that this "miracle doctor" really needs to see him.
The two didn't stay any longer, they fed the two horses some beans, drank enough water, and under the surprised eyes of the sentry, they left the south gate and walked away.
In this period, Huarong had a relatively small population. After leaving the county seat, it became more and more desolate as it went south.
After walking for more than 40 miles, I came to a village called "Huafeng".
Next to the entrance of the village, a simple pergola was set up, and there were two local residents maintaining order, and dozens of villagers were queuing up in a chaotic manner.
More people were scattered here and there in twos and threes, and some of them were carrying their bedding rolls. It seemed that not all of them were from the village.
The arrival of Guo Mo and Huang Rong caused commotion among the people.
But after seeing the faces of the people who came, they went their own way, and no one paid any attention to them.
An older lady in her 30s at the front was talking to the two people who were maintaining order.
"His third uncle, when will this southern barbarian come to distribute the medicine? If you wait any longer, the guy in my family will really not be able to hold on."
As he asked, he also looked around, his anxiety and uneasiness were clearly exposed.
For several days in a row, around midnight, the Nanman would bring a few people here to sell "elixir".
Although one tael of silver is quite a lot of money for many people, saving lives is the most important thing.
Some people in the family got the "plague" and were seriously ill, so they tried every means, begged or borrowed, to raise money to buy medicine.
Even those who really couldn't afford the "elixir" were surrounded by them, as if they felt that as long as they were closer to the "elixir", their illness could be alleviated.
But today, it was almost noon, but there was still no sign of the Nanman.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, two people came from outside the village, a child in his teens, who was about to grow into an adult, with a medicine box slung across his shoulders.
The other one was a doctor-looking man in his 30s, but he was a bit burly, with a limp on his right foot, leaning on a dark odd-shaped crutch, and carrying a half-sized package in his left hand.
"The 'miracle doctor' is here, the 'miracle doctor' is here—"
It was as if everyone knew who was coming and automatically gave way to a passage.
The person who came was Huarong County, a well-known "miracle doctor".
It has been more than a day since I came to this village. Although no cure for the "plague" has been developed yet, as long as the "miracle doctor" is here, everyone's hearts will be inexplicably comforted.
I saw this "miraculous doctor" and the teenage child walk into the shed and put the half-sized package in their left hand on the table.
"Fellow folks, that Southern barbarian has 'leaved' and left these 'elixir' before leaving. Everyone who is seriously ill will take a copy back first."
"If there are still those who haven't received the medicine, it will be distributed here tomorrow, all free of charge. In addition, the source of the 'plague' has been found and completely eliminated, and everyone will no longer be troubled by the 'plague' in the future."
The voice of "Miraculous Doctor" is not high, but it can be clearly sent to everyone's ears.
"Rong'er, this person's internal strength is good, at least second-rate."
Guo Mo and Huang Rong were riding on horses, looking at the "miracle doctor" in the arena, and with the cooperation of the child, they gave priority to distributing "elixir" to those who were seriously ill.
It should be that there is not a lot of inventory, and it took only half an hour to distribute it.
Those who did not receive the medicine were somewhat disappointed, and those who received the medicine hurried back, not only to let the patients at home take the medicine quickly, but also to spread the news that the "miracle doctor" would give free medicine tomorrow.
After everyone dispersed, the "miracle doctor" and the child also cleaned up and left.
Guo Mo and Huang Rong drove their horses and followed behind them slowly.
After walking two miles, there was no one around, and the "miracle doctor" who was walking in front stopped.
Turning around, he looked at Guo Mo and Huang Rong.
"My friend, what's the matter with you following me like this?"
