Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

In other words, the state of Chu implements the system of counties and counties, and villages are under the county.Anding Village is a small village in the south of Chu State. It has been a traditional mode of farming and weaving since it had a family, and its self-sufficiency life is still quite affluent.But just a few months ago, something strange happened in the village.Adults and children in the village had fever and nausea for no reason, their feet were weak and weak, and they were unable to walk, let alone work in the fields.

It is said that a living god came to the village at this time, and set up an altar to ask the gods.The gods said that it was an evil star passing by. Unexpectedly, some people in Anding Village did things against God's will and provoke the passing evil star.The evil star brings down the pain.This living fairy invited the holy water of the talisman, and it will be fine after drinking it for a few days.It turned out that there were unbelievers in the villagers, but the holy water really saved one or two people in the village.So the villagers didn't doubt it, and they paid for water one after another.But this holy water is one tael of silver a cup, and it needs to be drunk for a month to be full. This is not affordable for the villagers who have been farming for generations.Many people have already died of illness because they had no money to buy, but this living god has no mercy at all, he recognizes money but does not recognize people!

Su Cai's grandfather used to be a doctor in the village. Although his medical skills are not superb, he can be cured of any headache in the village.Only one year ago, the old doctor Su passed away, leaving his 16-year-old grandson Su Cai to live alone on the mountain.It turns out that living on the mountain is convenient for going into the mountain to collect herbs, and it is also because of alienation from the crowd that Su Cai survived without getting sick.When he learned that the disease was raging in the village, the villagers relied on some kind of god's shit holy water to heal their illnesses.Su Cai was very angry. If she was sick, she would look for her husband, not a charlatan!He checked and guessed that the villagers must have been poisoned, but he couldn't find the source of the poison.The medicine has little effect, and there is that charlatan who provokes it.The villagers agreed that Su Cai clearly wanted to delay their treatment, and Su Cai's description became more and more black, and finally he was driven out of the village by the villagers.

Here, Su Cai was kicked out of the village, led by a little donkey, and on the back of the little donkey was the only inheritance passed down to him by his grandfather, two stacks of medical books.It was the first time for Su Cai to leave the village, and he learned something about the world outside the village from his grandfather.Grandpa once told him that the outside world is full of flowers, flowers and willows, which makes people dazzled.But it is also full of temptations. People are more often involuntary, but stay in the village at ease.

Su Cai is not his grandfather's real grandson, but his grandfather adopted him.Before his death, his grandfather told him many times to study medical science hard, but he was stupid and mostly learned half-heartedly, so far he only understands a little superficially.As he walked, Su Cai couldn't figure out why the villagers would rather believe the charlatan who took money from them than him!When he was kicked out, he heard some villagers say that your grandfather's medical skills are not of any interest, let alone you!Thinking of Su Cai's dissatisfied mouth, who said that his grandfather's medical skills are not good, but he has seen his grandfather reading these medical skills many times late at night!Consciously told him that his grandfather's medical skills were more than that, but he didn't know why his grandfather deliberately concealed it?I remember once he asked his grandfather why he often sighed in silence, and his grandfather only told him that people can't do things with a bad conscience!

I didn't meet any pedestrians on the road after I left the village for a few days, so I was so bored that I could only talk to the donkey to relieve my boredom.

"Donkey, donkey, why do you think everyone is poisoned?"

The donkey snorted and shook its head, naturally unable to speak human words. "You don't know? If so, how could you know?"

"Donkey, donkey, are you hungry? You can eat grass when you're hungry, but I don't have anything when I'm hungry." Touching his flat stomach, the dry food had already been eaten.

The donkey kicked its front legs, lowered its head and gnawed at the weeds beside the road, chewed and wobbled, and walked ahead with its tail wagging.

"Donkey, donkey..."

"Donkey, donkey..."

In this way, among the chattering donkeys and donkeys, the road gradually became wider, and some people could be seen sparsely.Su Cai was so happy that she led the little donkey and hurried forward.Sure enough, after walking another 40 meters, I saw a city gate ahead.Wei Wei's towering green brick city wall is under a moat four or five meters wide, and there is nothing on the river that can pass.Su Cai looked around in a daze, wondering if he was going to ride a donkey there, he really couldn't bear to see the skinny donkey.The little donkey shuddered, groaned twice, and lowered its head and ears.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Su Cai raised his head when he heard the sound, and there was a head poking out of the city wall, holding a spear in his hand, thinking that this must be a soldier defending the city.He replied, "I want to go to the city."

The man replied, "Why don't you enter the city through the main gate!"

Su Cai was taken aback, isn't this the city gate?Looking around, the city walls on both sides stretched endlessly, and there was no city gate!Just when he was at a loss, another voice came from above.

"Are you from Anding Village?" Another head protruded from the city wall.Su Cai nodded, and the little donkey leaned over to rub his head against his waist. Su Cai looked up at the city wall, and gently stroked the hard brown hair of the little donkey. "It's from Anding Village."

The two people in the city wall seemed to be discussing something, and they shrank back.After a while, a huge wooden plank was slowly lowered from the city gate, just right on the river, and then the city gate slowly opened.Two soldiers walked out from inside, "Not yet!"

Su Cai led the little donkey across the river before reaching the opposite side. The suspension bridge on the river had been slowly retracted.A soldier came over and patted the camel on the donkey and asked, "What's inside?"

"Medical books." Su Cai answered truthfully.

Another soldier stepped forward and rummaged through the contents of the bag, "It is indeed some medical books."

"What are you doing here, why don't you go through the main entrance?" the soldier asked loudly.

Su Cai thought that if she said that she had never been in the city, they would probably laugh at her.So he said: "I lost my way, and I came here after walking. Someone in the village was sick and lacked medicinal materials. I went to the city to buy them."

Another soldier saw that his temper was a little better, and asked, "I can recognize Su Taifu of Anding Village, but you are not.".Su Cai was delighted in his heart, if he knew him, he would definitely be able to enter the city, but he was also worried that he would drive him away like a villager, so he hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"Why don't you talk, and throw you into the river again!" The soldier said he was going to take him, Su Cai hurriedly explained, "My grandfather passed away a year ago, and now it's just me." The nose is astringent, the eyes are sore, thinking that if grandpa is alive, he will not be able to bear this crime!

"You are Mrs. Su's grandson, Su Cai, aren't you?!" Su Cai nodded, and the man said again: "Yes, I left the village to join the army for many years, and you were only about eight or nine years old when I left, so you should be that old .”The soldier who wanted to take Sucai took a step back, his face looked better, "Is he really from your village?" The man nodded, "Second brother, let him enter the city, if it's dark by the main gate now, The city gates are also closed."

He looked Su Cai up and down, and then his donkey. The little donkey shrank its buttocks and hid behind Su Cai.

"Look at your cowardice, go in. Tell you kid not to look around, walk three streets, and five turns will be the main street!".Su Cai wiped the water from the corners of her eyes, and led the donkey into the city gate.

When I entered the city, I saw a lot of houses, arranged in an orderly manner, with the doors tightly closed, so I couldn't see what was inside.Su Cai led the little donkey and walked over carefully, occasionally hearing the sound of someone talking, and sometimes the sound of iron being struck.The sky gradually darkened, the neat and empty streets around, the whistling wind, eerie.Su Cai clung to the little donkey, and the little donkey opened its eyes wide, its hoofs trembling slightly clung to Su Cai.

As if it had been a long autumn, Su Cai swallowed her saliva, and said that she would reach the main street after three or five turns, but why hasn't she arrived yet!

Suddenly the street ahead became narrower and narrower, and the neat and square houses gradually disappeared.A strange feeling of approaching the exit became more and more intense, and Su Cai trotted along with the little donkey.In the end, only the high walls on both sides remained, and the parallel passages could only accommodate two people.Su Cai's heart was beating fast, and her hands were already soaked in sweat as she pulled the rein.After walking another ten meters and turning a corner, Su Cai stopped.

A small black door appeared five meters ahead, and a person stood on each side, both holding spears, looking at the sudden appearance of a man and a donkey.The narrow passage became even narrower. Su Cai tightened the rope in his hand and walked towards the door.Su Cai only felt that every step forward made a deafening sound, and every breath lingered.

Gradually getting closer to the door, closer, closer.In the dimness, Su Cai seemed to see the firefly green eyes of those two people, and the spears in their hands were shaking, eager to try.Finally, Su Cai stood in front of the door. He tried his best to make his breathing as smooth and natural as possible, and consciously told him that it was necessary!Otherwise, with the slightest mistake, the two spears would pierce his body.

Su Cai could feel the sharp eyes of those two people examining him, but he remained motionless.There seemed to be nothing to be discovered, the two propped open a door, and the vague noise of the crowd was brought in with the breeze.Without thinking about anything, Su Cai pulled the donkey across the threshold.At the same time, there was the sound of a heavy door closing behind him.There was a small alley in front of me, dim and without lights.At the end are bright lights and shaking figures.

Walking out of the dark alley, the eyes suddenly opened up.Wide streets with bright street lights.Pedestrians and vendors closing stalls.The night stalls on fire, and the yelling and shouting of shopkeepers walking through the streets and alleys, came from some deep alley, and the voice was peaceful and peaceful.

"Red bean syrup~hey, sesame paste~hey~xiangxiangdi~sell~"

Su Cai turned her head, and the long and deep alley had been submerged in the night, as if she had stepped out of the black nothingness.Front and back, turning around seems like two worlds.He didn't know where he walked out, he didn't know what was hidden in the dark night, and he didn't want to know what the world behind him looked like.Just like his sweat-soaked clothes, he didn't like the feeling of inexplicable fear in the depths of the water!

The little donkey has been surprisingly obedient since a long time ago, walking close to him all the way, without even snorting his favorite, if it wasn't for the fact that it was trying to push him out now, he wouldn't even remember its existence.Su Cai stroked the donkey's hair and walked into the street. Although he didn't know where it was, he liked the feeling.There is light, there are people, and there is sound.
