Chapter Fourteen
The sun droops westward, and the night gradually spreads, and soon swallows the earth.
Shu Yan sat on a small wooden slut, drank the hot porridge in the soil bowl in small sips, and ate a bite of steamed buns.
The village where they settled was actually just five or six families living together. The largest yard had been rented directly by Qing Lao and others. After the owner had cooked them for them, he watched them leave. Only Shu Ying, Qing Lao and others were left in the whole house.
"Doctor Shu, I heard from the owner of this house that you can go to Ziyang County by following the mountain road and passing through two villages." After putting down the bowl in your hand, swallowed the last bite of hot porridge into your stomach, he said to Shu Ying: "Where is Doctor Shu going?"
"I'll just leave me in Ziyang County, please! I can support myself!" Shu Qing said gratefully to Old Qing for a moment.
It was a burden to take her with her, and she had no goal in her own way, so she would naturally just follow the situation!
"Okay!" Old Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looked in Lu Wu's direction, and then said again: "We have important things, otherwise we can also escort Dr. Shu to find relatives! If Dr. Shu has the opportunity to go to Luyang City in the future, we can come and find us!"
Shu Yan nodded quickly, but his eyes were confused. Where is Luyang City? She didn't know at all.
Old Qing seemed to have put aside his worries, coughed for a while, and then went to rest with Shu Chang's pills in his mouth.
There are four rooms in the small yard, three rooms, including Qing Lao, Lu Wu and others, Shu Qiong and one room. Although they are all earthen walls and wooden beds, Shu Qiong is extremely comfortable to sleep.
When we set out, we found a place to stay before dusk, and three days passed in a flash.
I don’t know whether Mr. Qing’s condition was due to the treatment of the witch doctor or Shu’s pills, so he finally felt relieved.
Shu Ying carried a few small jars on his back and looked at the crowd entering the city, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Doctor Shu, let's say goodbye. After you enter the city, be careful!" Old Qing also said a few words to Shu Ying with some reluctance. After watching her bit her lip, he couldn't help but sigh, "Doctor Shu, remember to stay away from those witch doctors."
Shu Yan nodded, his eyes became wet. He looked at the backs of Mr. Qing and others gradually moving away, and then he gritted his teeth into the crowd and walked into the city gate.
Ziyang County is a county town under the jurisdiction of Yizhou. There are dozens of villages of all sizes outside the city, with thousands of acres of fertile land, mountains and abundant resources. It can be considered a very rich place.
There is no need for any entry fee to enter the city. Each citizen who enters the city only needs to explain some of his basic situations clearly and let the officers and soldiers check it out.
Shu Ying looked at the towering city tower curiously and amazedly, but he didn't come back to his senses for a while.
"Girl, Lu Yin!" The officers and soldiers guarding the city seemed very satisfied with Shu Ying's appearance as a country bumpkin, with a hint of smile in his tone and attitude, "When Lu Yin is checked, the girl will be able to enter the city."
Shu Ying came to her senses with an awkward look, her face turned slightly red, and she quickly took out her way in her arms. This thing was done by Old Man Li to Ming Town at the time, saying that she would use it when she left Houji Village in the future.
Shu Yan looked at the Lu Yin in his hand in a daze, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. Old Man Li saved her and protected her to settle down in Houji Village, but he didn't expect that before she could let Old Man Li live a good life, Old Man Li died.
"girl?!"
The soldiers guarding the city looked at Shu Ying again. After watching her hand over Lu Yin, they then started an inspection and asked her, "What are the girls going to do to enter the city?"
"Sell some ointment you made yourself!" Shu Ying shook the jar on her back.
"Ointment?!" The eyes of the guards of the city immediately brought a hint of respect, "Is the girl a witch doctor?"
"No! I just know how to make some ancestral ointment!" Shu Ying smiled bitterly, and after seeing the city guards a little disappointed, he couldn't help but breathe.
Witch doctors are very popular no matter where they are. After all, no one will get sick, right? However, Mr. Qing specifically reminded him that if she wants to live a good life in Ziyang County, then don’t say that she is a juvenile doctor. It’s enough to be a small drug dealer who can make some ancestral ointment!
The soldiers guarding the city asked Shu a few more words. After knowing that she had come to Ziyang County for the first time, she thought about it and introduced to her: "After entering the city, you can go directly to Miyi Lane in the east of the city. There is a house built by the third wife of the great-grandfather's family in our county. The security is very good, and no sluts will appear. If the girl rents a house to live in, it is a good choice."
Shu Ying was immediately delighted when he heard this. He quickly thanked the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and then took the Luzhi from their hands and followed the direction they pointed to towards Miyi Lane east of the city.
As the city guards said, the public security in Miyi Lane is quite good.
There were always officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere outside the alley, and the alley looked orderly. I guess the difference between them and other places next to them was obvious at a glance.
Shu Ying touched the money given by Qing Lao and others on her body, and thought to herself: Even if the rent in Miyi Lane is more expensive, I think there should be no problem for her to rent a house.
After entering the alley, a middle-aged man soon saw Shu Yan's figure and smiled and came up.
"Miss, are you here to find someone or the house?" A woman in her fifties looked at Shu with a smile and asked.
"What do you call madam?" Shu Ying quickly bent down and bowed, and asked politely.
"My husband's surname is Chen, just call me Aunt Chen." Aunt Chen said with a smile, "Is the girl here to rent the house?"
"Aunt Chen has any suitable recommendations? I live alone, and the size of the house doesn't matter, but it's better to be safer!" Shu Ying thought for a while and asked.
"Don't worry, girl. Our Miyi Lane is said to be the property of the third wife of the county magistrate's family, but in fact it is the property of our county magistrate. How could it be as chaotic as other places outside?" When Aunt Chen heard this, she immediately signaled Shu Ying to follow her to the depths of the alley and said, "But, girl, because of this, the rent in Miyi Lane is a cent or two more expensive than other places."
"Yes, this is my husband!" Shu Ying nodded quickly. She was mentally prepared.
