Magical Medicine in ancient times

After walking for seven or eight days, they finally arrived at the border of Qiuyi Mansion.According to Pang Mao, they had to go through [-] post stations, and finally cross Huaiyin Mountain before reaching the boundary of Kyoto.

According to their previous itinerary, they still have to walk for more than a month to get there.It is estimated that I will not be able to return to Ganjiu Town until I spend the New Year in Kyoto.

Zhou Jin wanted to speed up, but the carriage shaking made him feel uncomfortable all the way, and his bones were almost falling apart!

This carriage is really not for human beings, it is too wobbly.The pavement is no smoother than that of modern society.Even if they take the official path, it is still uneven.

As a frail doctor, he really held everyone back!Fortunately, Pang Mao and others were also very considerate of him, and they were worried that he could not bear the health and deliberately slowed down the schedule.

Compared to Zhou Jin's discomfort, looking at No. 01, he should eat and drink, without being affected at all.

They brought a pile of dry food and added some water when they passed by the post station, and he almost wiped out all of them!

Water and food are about to be cut off, and the next station will have to walk for a few more days to arrive.Everyone planned to see if they could pass by any villages next and buy some dry food from the villagers.

The sky was gloomy, and the wind blew the trees beside the road to this side, and the fallen leaves were flying all over the sky.Zhou Jin huddled in the carriage, praying that he could find a village to spend the night before dark, otherwise he would have to sleep in the mountains tonight.

If it rains again or something, it's really bad luck!

Fortunately, God was kind to them, and before the sky completely darkened, they finally saw a village.

At this time, the surrounding light was already very dim, and the village was hidden in the darkness ahead, indistinct and unclear.Only the hazy yellow lights projected from the windows, like pointing lights.

"Doctor Zhou, there is a village ahead, let's go in and spend the night first, and then start tomorrow morning!"

Pang Mao's voice sounded from the car window, accompanied by the whistling wind, which was somewhat inaudible.

Zhou Jin hurriedly approached the car window, opened a corner of the car curtain, and the cold wind came in, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open.

"General Pang, I listen to you! Let's go there quickly! It might rain soon!" He spoke at the top of his voice, and the cold wind poured into his mouth like swallowing ice cubes.

This rain is coming!As soon as the carriage drove into the village, the raindrops fell mercilessly.

They had no choice but to find a nearby yard to hide in.

Because the rain fell so suddenly, the five of them got wet a lot and were quite embarrassed.Especially Lao Batou and Pang Mao Mo Yan.

The three of them could hide in the carriage no better than Zhou Jin, blown all the way by the cold wind, their hair was disheveled, and their lips were blue.

Fortunately, Pang Mao and Mo Yan are martial arts practitioners with good physical fitness.He has been fighting in the frontier all year round, and is used to the cold and cruel environment.Even though his face was a bit ugly, his eyes were still sharp and his back was straight.

But the old man's head was not so good, he hooked his back and shook his hands, his face turned blue.It looks very cold!

Pang Mao and Mo Yan went to find a place to tie up the horse and carriage, while Zhou Jintong No. 01 and Lao Batou quickly ran into the eaves of the house to avoid the rain.

Looking at the old man's trembling body, Zhou Jin felt a little sorry.No matter how strong you are usually, you are still old after all.The journey was long, the weather was cold, and the body could hardly bear it.

It's also his fault that he didn't think carefully, he just wanted to make it convenient, he often cooperates with Lao Batou, and he trusts him more, so he didn't think about looking for other people.

Seeing the look in Zhou Jin's eyes, the old man felt uncomfortable, and he was the one who made it up!After all is old!

He smiled wryly, "Doctor Zhou, I made you laugh!"

Zhou Jin shook his head and patted the water stains on his body.The clothes were drenched by the rain, coupled with the howling cold wind piercing into the collar, several people felt more and more cold to the bone.

He thought about finding some elixir for the old man to take later, so as not to really get sick.

At this moment, a pretentiously vicious voice suddenly came from the room.

"Who? Who's outside?" It was a man's voice.

Zhou Jin didn't care about anything else, and quickly responded: "Sorry for the interruption, we are passing pedestrians, and now it's getting dark outside, and it's windy and rainy, so we really can't make it on our way. I want to spend the night with my elder brother, I wonder if it's possible Is it convenient?"

Perhaps Zhou Jin's voice sounded gentle and polite, without any threat.There was silence in the room for a while, and then the voice came out again.

"Where are you from? Where are you going? Why are you still walking outside at this late hour?" It was still the same voice, but it didn't sound as fierce as before.

The other party did not explicitly refuse, and Zhou Jin felt a glimmer of hope.He understands the other party's cautiousness very well. After all, it is not a peaceful era. A stranger suddenly ran into your yard at night and said he would stay overnight.Everyone is worried.

"Brother, we came from Yongning Mansion, and we are going to visit relatives in Kyoto! We have been away for seven or eight days, and it will be dark and we will not be able to reach the next town, so we have to come to your place for one night to escape the wind and rain! It's convenient for you."

Zhou Jin's lips were a little stiff, and his tongue couldn't be straightened.

The cold hand was suddenly held by a warm hand, and then a wave of heat suddenly rushed over his body, dispelling the cold in an instant.Even the blood seemed to heat up.His cold face also began to feel hot.

He looked down, only to see No. 01 holding his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up to puff out his plump cheeks, his eyes were frighteningly bright in the dark.

Zhou Jin's heart warmed, and he held No. 01's hand instead, as if holding a self-heating hand warmer.Soon there was a little sweat in the palm of his hand.

There were subtle discussions in the room, and with his hearing, he knew that the matter was basically settled, and he immediately relaxed a lot.

Sure enough, soon there was a creaking sound from behind the door, and Zhou Jin knew it was the sound of the latch being opened.Immediately, the door opened a crack, revealing a dark and sad man's face.

The dim candlelight in the room came out, revealing their distressed appearance.

The man's eyes were still cautious, and he swept Zhou Jin and the three of them one by one, and saw that they were old and young, their hair was messy, and the wind and rain brushed their wet clothes, looking pitiful and embarrassed.

The tense muscles on his face suddenly relaxed a little, and he opened the door.

"Come in, everyone! It's cold and windy, and it's not easy, so come in and hide from the rain!"

"Thank you bro!"

The three of Zhou Jin didn't delay, and stepped in two steps in three steps.

There were three other people in the house, two women and one man.The man looks older and has gray hair. He should be the man's father.The two women, one old and one young, should be the man's wife and mother.

The main room was not bright, only a flickering candle stood on the table.But it didn't prevent Zhou Jin from taking a panoramic view of the humble house.

This room is really simple and cramped, with only a table and a few stools, and two cabinets against the wall, where there are some miscellaneous things.There are some farm tools and hoes piled up in the corner against the wall.

The ground is a bit uneven, but it is better than clean.This is clearly a poor family!

After the three of Zhou Jin entered, the room seemed a bit crowded.

The three people in the room saw that the people who came in were all gentle and well-dressed. They thought that they must not be some vicious gangsters, and the tense expressions on their faces relaxed a lot.

"Thank you for your willingness to take this convenience. I am away from home and have to come to disturb you. We will leave when the rain stops tomorrow."

The gray-haired old man moved the stool over, "Don't be polite, you three, sit down quickly! It's windy and windy outside, don't be cold! Old lady, go and cook some ginger soup to warm up the guests. !"

The old woman wiped her hands on the apron, with a smile on her kind face, "I'm going to cook right now, and then boil some hot water for you to wash and change into clean clothes!"

"Mother, let me help you!" The woman followed behind the old woman.

The man stood in front of the gate, holding the latch in his hand to lock the door.

Zhou Jin hurriedly called out, "Wait, there are two of us outside, they are going to tie the horses, and they will be back soon!"

As soon as these words came out, the busy people stopped immediately.

"Here...do you still have someone?" The man showed hesitation on his face, and his eyes looked into the dark yard.

The wrinkles on the old man's face also piled up, and there was worry in his eyes.It seemed that they were wondering whether to drive Zhou Jin and the others out.

But at the end of the day, he has a kind heart. Looking at the pitch black outside, and the wind and rain, he really couldn't bear it.

"You guys, don't worry, we are all decent people, just staying overnight, I promise I will never do anything else!"

Sensing the concerns of several people, Zhou Jin quickly took out a purse from his bosom, and took out a piece of silver, "The five of us have been traveling for several days, but we haven't had a bite of hot food, so I asked my aunt to heat up the food for us, and cooked it for us." Some hot water, this money is not much, it is only a reward, please accept it!"

The bright silver was like a dazzling light bulb, and the pupils of several people instantly dilated.

Zhou Jin's keen five senses have already noticed that their breathing has become a little heavier.

It was probably because Zhou Jin paid too freely and generously, which made them feel that it was impossible for the other party to take a fancy to their poor family with their financial resources.

"This... this..." The man stared at Yinzi, stuttering and unable to speak.

Even the old man was a little shocked that Doctor Zhou was so generous!This silver seems to be less than a dozen taels!It is enough to cover the expenses of this family for two or three years!

On the contrary, the old man was the first to react. He was a little panicked, "Guest, take back the money! It's just a one-night stay, the food in the countryside is not worth so much!"

Zhou Jin smiled, "I say it's worth it! It's so cold outside, we are old and young, if it weren't for a few generous people who let us come in to shelter from the rain, we would have to sleep in the wilderness! At that time, the wind and cold will be secondary. If you encounter another jackal, tiger or leopard, your life will be in danger! Just accept it!"

Zhou Jin stuffed the silver into the man's palm.The man was caught off guard, his hands seemed to be holding a hot potato, he didn't know what to do.

"This, this is too much! We can't bear it!" The man's heart was pounding, and the silver was attached to his palm, and there was still a trace of warmth.

He really felt that he was holding a genuine silver ingot!

"Old man, just accept it! Otherwise, our son will not feel at ease!"

The old man followed suit.

The old man hesitated for a while with his lips trembling, his eyes glued to the silver, and finally he was still reluctant.

"Boss, go and see where the young master's friends are? Help them find a place to tie their horses!"

"Old lady, hurry up and cook some hot dishes for the young master, boil more hot water, and let the guests take a hot bath!"

According to the old man's instructions, the dust has settled!

The man put the money into his arms, and walked out the door without saying a word.The old woman responded, her face was full of joy, and she dragged her daughter-in-law, who was a bit unrecoverable, into the small door next to her.

It looks like he went to the kitchen.

Zhou Jin felt completely relaxed.This little money is a drop in the bucket for him.He didn't want to take advantage of the family, nor did he want to owe them favors.

Only payment in cash and goods is the most real!
