"Doctor, do you estimate how long the old lady has to live?"
After hesitating again and again, Liang’s mother couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment.
Liang's mother was already terminally ill. It was expected that even if Bian Que was reborn, Hua Tuo would not be able to cure her while he was still alive.
After all, in the advanced stage of lung cancer, the lungs have been perforated and ulcerated, causing a series of pathological changes. Even modern lung replacement surgery is useless, and death is now imminent.
“Probably, I can’t wait until spring.”
It’s October now.
Zhang Heng estimated that Liang’s mother took Fu Shui on time to suppress her condition, and her departure date would be within March or May, not any longer.
“Spring begins!”
Mother Liang looked very indifferent. She thought quietly for a while and then entrusted Zhang Heng: "Doctor, I saw you traveling all over the country and there was no one around you to help you. My silly Liang people are a little stupid, but they are sincere. This
When you leave for the first time, you can take him with you. He will be a companion to carry boxes and water, lead horses and pedal."
Zhang Heng was very surprised: "Old madam, what are you doing?"
Mother Liang sighed: "Silly Liang is stupid. If I were still alive, I would not let him be in danger. If I were gone, with his stupidity, I would expect that he would either collude with others or be assassinated and go to hell."
"
“You have treated me, and we, mother and son, have nothing to repay you.”
"Old woman, I never owe anyone anything in my life. If you can see clearly, take Shaliang away. Shaliang is quite strong. He can drive away tigers and leopards for you and protect you. When the time comes, he will follow you to practice medicine and do all kinds of things.
If I know these meaningful things, I can rest in peace."
Zhang Heng listened to each sentence.
It is true that if you plant flowers with intention, they will not bloom, but if you do not intend to plant willows, they will create shade.
His original intention was to win over Granny Wa to join the gang, but to his surprise, Granny Wa was still hesitant. Instead, Sha Liang joined Weng Zhong first.
Speaking of which, Shaliang's strength is pretty good. Although the shortcomings of the powerful ghost are obvious, it doesn't matter. The ghost master can control the second ghost to complement his advantages.
If cultivated properly, it can be regarded as a good helper.
“Old woman, if Shaliang comes with me, what’s your side?”
Zhang Heng was about to speak but stopped.
“Out of the way.”
Mother Liang didn't care: "Old lady, I still have a few days to live, but you need more help than me."
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "Then let's do it, Shaliang, come with me. As for you, I will send someone to pick you up and send you to a peaceful place to live. I will come back after I finish my work and bring you back."
Shaliang comes to see you."
Liang’s mother was a little confused.
The world is so chaotic right now, how can there be any peace?
Seeing the sincerity of Zhang Heng's words, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She had even thought about it. If the pain was unbearable, she would just wait until the stupid Liang left.
She was struggling to hold on, that is, she couldn't worry about being fooled.
Now that Shaliang has an entrustment, it makes no difference whether he leaves a few days earlier or a few days later.
Night.
Zhang Heng stayed at Shaliang’s house.
A night of nothing happened, and in the blink of an eye it’s the next day.
Early in the morning, Shaliang came back from patrol.
Mother Liang called him to the bedside and warned him: "From now on, Dr. Zhang's words are my words. Whatever Dr. Zhang says, you should do it. You must respect Dr. Zhang as much as you respect me. Listen to his words, do you hear me?"
Sha Liang looked at Zhang Heng, then at his old mother, and said with a silly smile: "I listen to my mother."
Mother Liang tapped Sha Liang’s leg with her cane: “Kneel down and kowtow to Dr. Zhang.”
Hum bang bang
Silly Liang was still stupid. He knelt on the ground and banged his head three times, making a hole in the ground.
Seeing all this, Zhang Heng said: "Get up, someone will come to pick up your mother this afternoon and send her to a peaceful place to spend her old age."
Sha Liang asked stupidly: "Master, will I never see my mother again?"
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "If you can see me, I will take you to see your mother after I finish the work at hand."
Sha Liang instantly became happy.
Zhang Heng handed the medicine box to Sha Liang, said goodbye to Liang's mother, and said: "Let's go, we have to rush to Sifang City today, it's a long way."
Sha Liang heard the sound and went to search in the courtyard.
A back chair was quickly brought out, which is the kind of chair that can be carried on one's back and someone can sit behind it.
“Master, Silang’s legs and feet are very fast, let me carry you on my back. This is how I carried my mother when she went out.”
Sha Liang was carrying a chair on his back, holding a shovel in one hand and a medicine box in the other.
Standing there, at nearly three meters tall, he looked like a Kodiak brown bear standing upright, full of oppression.
Leap up on the chair.
Sha Liang walked away quickly, making rapid progress, and his speed was not much slower than when he used the magic walking talisman.
“The sky and the earth are endless, filled with sun and stars.”
“Thunder and lightning, help me move forward.”
Zhang Heng took out two magic walking charms, made a hand and recited a mantra, and applied the light body magic walking charm to Sha Liang: "You can run and see."
Phew!
This time, Sha Liang ran faster.
Like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, the strong wind blows people away and makes it difficult to open their eyes.
More importantly, Shaliang is a ghost master, a half-human, half-ghost existence, and his endurance is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
With the blessing of the powerful ghost, the body is as strong as iron and the strength is infinite. The journey along the way is like the galloping of thousands of horses. No matter whether you are a big tree as thick as a bucket or a stone half as tall as a man, it can be easily broken with a shovel. It doesn't matter.
reason.
“I originally wanted to get a Harley to play with, but it seems I won’t be able to use it anymore!”
Zhang Heng was a little bit dumbfounded.
soon.
In one hour, two hundred miles rushed out, and Sifang City came into view.
Sifang City is the main city of Sifang County and the seat of the Sifang Ghost King.
At the gate of the city, there are humans standing guard. They are all humans who have taken refuge with the Ghost King from all directions. They are like the Ergouzi puppet army, helping the Ghost King manage public security during the day.
As for the evening.
Then there is no need for them. The ghost king from all directions has many ghost generals, captains, and ghost soldiers under his command.
It gets dark.
Two realms run parallel to each other, the small world of Chiyou overlaps with the realm of Huangtu, and thousands of ghosts invade the human world.
However, since Sifang County was ruled by the Sifang Ghost King, the law on the surface does not allow ghosts to rush into towns and slaughter humans wantonly, and they have followed the long-term way of captivity.
Each county, each village and town has a number of quotas, that is, how many living people must be turned in every year.
Although there are some people who eat secretly outside the quota, the Ghost King from all over the world doesn't like them either.
This is like raising sheep, humans are the sheep, the Ghost King of the Four Directions is the rancher, and the humans under his rule are his lambs.
If other ghosts come to steal food, it is equivalent to other people coming to steal sheep. If an evil ghost appears that can devour several villages and towns overnight, the ghost kings from all directions will also send troops to encircle and suppress them. Otherwise, the sheepfold will be empty in a few years.
, when the time comes, it will drink the northwest wind.
Zhang Heng felt that if the Huangtu community did not have their intervention,
In the future, it will become a large pasture, providing a steady stream of two-legged sheep for the small world of Chiyou.
Even, the ghost emperors will formulate a series of human protection laws and study how to "raise sheep" reasonably to keep the loss and birth of sheep within a good range.
Without the ability to resist their rule, and without falling into danger, they will support the Red Nether Ghost Realm forever and ever, until the day when the king rises and the world is wiped out.
Forehead
It’s a bit like the way the Yuan Dynasty ruled the Central Plains.
The difference is that the Central Plains under the control of the Yuan Dynasty has always had the power to fight back because the gap between people is not large.
In the Huangtu Realm under the control of the Chiyou Ghost Realm, ordinary people have no way to fight against the Ghost King and Ghost Emperor. Existences of that level cannot be dealt with by ordinary people.
"Where do you come from? You have to pay two pounds of grain when entering the city. Do you have any grain?"
Although the guards of Sifang City are all humans, they are more cruel to their own kind than ghosts are to humans.
The ghost kings from all directions did not ask for entry fees when entering or leaving Sifang City, but they followed suit and paid for it.
Those who don’t know better think that this food is for the ghost kings from all over the world.
“Do you know this?”
Zhang Heng took out the invitation.
“Invitation from Lord Ghost King?”
When the guards saw it, they knew that Zhang Heng had a good background, and they turned pale with fright: "Sir, please."
Zhang Heng didn't care, and just asked: "It's the birthday of the ghost king from all directions. Should all the ghost controllers from nearby counties and ghost generals guarding the surrounding areas be here?"
The guards replied: "A lot of people have come, and some people have not obeyed the rules and have been devoured by the Ghost King."
After speaking, he paused slightly: "Sir, please be careful, the Ghost King has been in a bad mood recently."
Zhang Heng smiled and said, "When I come, he will be in a better mood."
