ancient criminal minds

The next day, when Lu Zheng woke up, it was already high in the sun. He hadn't slept so sweetly for a long time, so that he opened his eyes for a long time and his body was still in a dream.

Lu Zheng sat up and couldn't help baring his teeth. The wound still hurt a little, but it was much better.He was about to get up and change clothes when he heard a knock on the door.

Lu Zheng hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Come in!"

The person who came was Qingluan who stayed here to take care of and protect him. His name was Juan Yu. He put the tray in his hand on the table: "Master Lu, let's eat something first."

Lu Zheng nodded: "Thank you. By the way, have you all eaten?"

Curly Feather nodded: "I have eaten."

Lu Zheng asked again: "When did Qingluan leave?"

"early morning."

Lu Zheng felt a little helpless, he could tell that Juan Yu was more introverted and didn't like to chat, so he didn't make things difficult for him and let him leave.

It is almost here in northern Xinjiang, the environment is harsh and the land is barren, and the food is naturally not as rich as in Yanjing. It can be seen that the postman has put in a lot of effort, but Lu Zheng is still choked by this coarse grain bun, and finally relies on I just finished eating that plate of pickles.

After dinner, Lu Zheng was a little idle, thinking that since he was reborn, there seemed to be countless things haunting him, as if he had never been so leisurely, but he couldn't adapt to being so leisurely all of a sudden.

Lu Zheng pushed open the door, but saw Juan Yu standing in front of the door, as soon as he saw him come out, he said, "Young Master Lu, what do you need to do?"

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "You don't have to guard me at the door, I'll just walk around, if you have something to do, go and do it first." Then he walked towards the post building.

Juan Yu didn't say a word and just followed behind him.

Lu Zheng felt a little helpless, so he could only let him go.Entering the post building, I happened to see Zhang Lin scolding Niu Da, and Niu Da had a hippie smile on his face.

Zhang Lin was tired of cursing, and just about to take a breath, he saw the distinguished guest he received yesterday coming in, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Oh, my lord, you can't walk around because your injury hasn't healed yet, what do you want?" Just give an order."

Lu Zheng smiled gently and said, "I'm just a little bored staying in the room, so I came to Zhang Yicheng for advice."

Zhang Lin hurriedly said: "Don't dare to ask for advice, just ask what you want to know, the young ones will know everything without talking about it."

Lu Zheng then asked: "Your inn looks clean and tidy, how many years have you been in this inn?"

"This post house is for people to live in, of course it should be cleaner." Zhang Lin smiled embarrassedly, and twisted his fingers again: "The little one has been in this post house for about 30 to [-] years. This is from my father. The ones that are passed down, the younger ones are the inheritance from the father.”

"You are here. You should have heard a lot about the battle between the Northern Border Army and the Jie people in the past years, right?"

Zhang Lin replied cautiously: "In the past, some military masters or postmen passed by, and the young ones occasionally heard a thing or two."

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you, otherwise I will be useless lying in bed all day."

Zhang Lin was a little embarrassed: "The little one speaks rough, I'm afraid I'll offend the nobleman."

"I'm not a noble person. I'm probably about the same age as your son. I saw you teach the postman a lesson earlier, so I thought it was your son!"

Niu Da couldn't help interjecting: "That's right, they always treat me like a son!"

Zhang Lin stared: "Why are there so many nonsense, go out and sweep the floor quickly." Then he said to Lu Zheng with a smile, "Don't listen to this kid talking nonsense, I'm doing this for his own good."

Niu snorted loudly, seeing that Zhang Lin was about to hit him with a broom, he ran out in a hurry.

Zhang Lin said, "You saw a joke."

Lu Zheng said: "It seems that your relationship is quite good."

Zhang Lin said with a smile: "That's right, although this kid is a bit out of tune, he is a kind-hearted man who repays his kindness. The younger one has no son, and after so many years, he finally got a daughter. The wife is rare, and the younger one also thinks that the daughter is very good." Anyway, the young one has this post house, and when he gets old, he will hand over the post house to Niu Da, this kid has a bad mouth but a good heart, and he will give us old age."

Lu Zheng was a little emotional, and asked some questions about the local customs, and now Zhang Lin had no more scruples, and he yelled twice when he talked about excitement, leaving Lu Zheng dumbfounded.

But thanks to Zhang Yicheng, Lu Zheng's recuperation life was not so dull.

Two days later, Dr. Wang came to change Lu Zheng's medicine. Naturally, he used the bottle of golden sore medicine that Qingluan left behind. I have to say, this medicine is really effective. In just one night, the wound on Lu Zheng's leg was much better. , some places are starting to scab.

Dr. Wang was amazed when he saw it. Originally, he thought that this injury should take ten days and a half months. Seeing Lu Zheng's situation, he would be fine in another five or six days.

After changing the medicine, Dr. Wang took the trouble to tell him not to get water on the wound, but to eat something lighter, and said to Juan Yu beside him: "This wound looks like it's about to heal, so don't let him ride a horse anymore, and don't eat it." Running around, staying in bed if you can."

After Juan Yu finished listening, he looked at Lu Zheng silently.

Lu Zheng hurriedly begged for mercy: "I know, I know, I dare not go out again."

"Now the wound heals faster, but the prescription needs to be changed." Doctor Wang smiled, picked up a pen and prescribed the prescription again, "This medicine has the effect of promoting muscle growth. After taking it, the wound may feel itchy. Don't try to catch it."

He prescribed the medicine, handed it to Juan Yu, and said: "It's rare to find this medicine with two flavors. I'm afraid the pharmacy in the city has it. It's not far from Guning County. You go to the county to get it first. If you don't have it." , I’m afraid it’s only in the county town.”

Juan Yu was a little hesitant, it is indeed not far from Guning County, but he will rush there, and he will rush in at the Guancheng Gate, but he will have to wait until the next morning if he wants to come out. It will take a day and a half to return, and he is really worried about leaving Lu Zheng here alone.

At this moment, Zhang Lin came in with a cup of tea. Seeing that Juan Yu was worried, he said, "Just let Niu Da go. He can ride a horse. Although he is not as fast as this military master, he is only an hour or two late."

But Lu Zheng said: "It's okay, it's just a day or so, it won't be too late to get the medicine when the person who picks us up comes."

Dr. Wang shook his head: "That's not enough. Taking the medicine depends on the timing. I thought it would take two days for the injury to change the prescription. Otherwise, the old man would just buy it for you."

Juan Yu weighed again and again, with his speed, he might catch up with Guanchengmen, but if it was Niu Da, he might not be able to catch up at all, and the time needed would not be one day, but two or even three days .He thought to himself that this is a post house, there should be nothing wrong with it, he went to Guning County, and it should be fine to go and reply quickly.

After thinking about it this way, Juan Yu said to Lu Zheng: "Master Lu, I'll grab this medicine, maybe I will meet people who will pick us up on the road, and it shouldn't take much time to let them come over first .”

Lu Zheng nodded: "Don't worry."

After Juan Yu finished speaking, he stopped hesitating, stuffed the prescription into his chest, and then got on his horse and headed towards Guning County.

Seeing Juan Yu leave, Zhang Lin said to Lu Zheng: "Young master, don't worry, I will ask Niu Da to set up a shop at your door. You can call him whenever you want."

Lu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not so delicate yet, you can let him go back to sleep in the room, I'm fine."

While packing up the medicine box, Doctor Wang said, "Master, you should listen to Lao Zhang. Niu Da has a strong body. It's okay to sleep outside for a night, so that your guards won't worry all the time."

"Oh, my brother Wang, you have already prescribed this medicine, and you have seen your injury. It is not too early now, so you should go back earlier." Zhang Lin knew that Dr. Wang was complaining for him, but his kind As a petty official, even any centurion in the army would be wronged by him, not to mention this young man who was a man with a lot of background at first glance, he would never dare to offend him.

After listening to Zhang Lin's words, Lu Zheng understood.It turned out that Juan Yu's previous hesitation misunderstood them, and he quickly said: "Don't worry, you two, he is entrusted by others to be loyal, it's not that he doesn't believe in Brother Zhang."

Doctor Wang said with a smile: "This old man has a straight temper, I hope you will not take offense."

Lu Zheng also replied: "You are straightforward and free-spirited. Brother Zhang is lucky to have a friend like you."

Zhang Lin was afraid that Dr. Wang would say some nonsense, so he quickly snatched his medicine box: "Come, come, Brother Wang, I'll see you off."

Doctor Wang helplessly looked at Zhang Lin's anxious expression, he could see that Lu Zheng wasn't being perfunctory, if Zhang Lin hadn't said that first, he wouldn't have explained so much.

Dr. Wang was pulled by Zhang Lin, so he could only nod helplessly to Lu Zheng, and was pulled out of the room directly.

After leaving the courtyard, Doctor Wang laughed and said, "You can't change your cautious temper? I think this young master is not bad."

Zhang Lin smiled bitterly: "So what, I didn't intend to ask him for anything, I just hope that he will live more comfortably these few days, and let me go back to see my wife and children safely."

Doctor Wang sighed, this is the sorrow of the people at the bottom, thinking like this, the two walked to the back door of the post house without a word, only to see Niu Da chewing something while boiling water.

Zhang Lin swept the backyard, frowned and said, "I told you to sweep the yard, what are you doing here?"

When Niu Da saw him, he jumped up quickly: "Bring, boil water..."

Zhang Lin looked at the pile of firewood not far from him, and scolded: "Just remember to use it, and the firewood is gone, why don't you hurry up and chop it?"

Niu Da rolled his eyes: "Yes. Chop firewood." Then he took an ax and started chopping firewood, but with too much force, a piece of wood hit the kettle directly, almost spilling the water in the kettle.Niu Da was so frightened that he shrank his neck, and he didn't dare to play around anymore, so he honestly started chopping firewood.

Zhang Lin looked at his back with hatred, and said to Doctor Wang: "Look at this kid, after so many years, his lazy temperament has not changed!"

Doctor Wang smiled and said: "The child is not yet determined, it will be better if it is older."

Zhang Lin sighed, and said to him, "Although it's getting dark now, but you live in a remote place, you still have to be careful."

Doctor Wang smiled and said: "I still need you to tell me." After finishing speaking, he was about to leave when he remembered something and turned around and said, "You should also pay more attention. The weather has been dry recently, and there are seven or eight cases of flooding in nearby counties and towns. , and there is no river near you, if the water runs out, it will be troublesome."

"Understood." Zhang Lin replied, "You don't know my temperament, the most important thing is to be careful. Do you think anything has happened to my post all these years?"
