The Qu State was defeated and returned. Although the soldiers of Chengyang County also suffered heavy losses, compared with the initial inability to resist, it was a blessing that the Qu State did not gain good results.
The frustrated soldiers of Qu State withdrew from Chengyang County and seemed to turn towards the rear of Mu State, but this was another story.
After Qu State withdrew its troops, people in Chengyang County began to suffer from poisonous poisons one after another. Most of the poisoned people were concentrated near the Neicheng River.
Fortunately, Zhufeng gave the prescription the night before, and all the yamen also informed the whole city. Hucao even ordered all the medical clinics in the city to prepare the medicine and distribute the medicine to every household every day, so the evil situation was curbed in a few days.
During this process, Zhufeng, a great hero, had no time to spare. Various government offices came to visit and express condolences one after another. The common people even regarded him as their savior. People crowded in the old tree alley every day to visit, so that Wen Ya had to leave the courtyard.
The door was locked, and everyone was told that he was injured and was not suitable to see guests.
In this way, Zhufeng was able to rest for a few days. It wasn't until the scabs formed on his legs that the courtyard door was opened to the public. However, they packed their bags and left Gushu Alley under the shock and confusion of Zhang Erguangtou and other neighbors.
The family came to the county governor's office and said goodbye to Pan Chenggui and others.
Pan Ming couldn't accept their sudden farewell. He held on to Zhufeng and refused to let go. He begged to stay for a while, begged to stay at all, and said that he wanted to go with them.
After pleasing his eyes, Yan Yan gave up the idea. In the end, Pan Ming could only ask with red eyes:
"How can there be such an irresponsible master like you? You have to leave as soon as the apprentice has just started. How can the apprentice start the apprenticeship if he is so half-assed?"
Zhufeng gave him the two medical books that he had prepared a long time ago, and comforted him with a smile, "A disciple of a miracle doctor, even if he is only half-experienced, is better than others. You should study and understand these two medical books. If you can understand them thoroughly,
Then you can leave the army."
"With these two medical books, can he become as powerful a doctor as the master?" Pan Ming was obviously very doubtful.
Shi'an explained: "This is the essence of my father's lifelong medical skills, which is naturally different from ordinary medical books."
Pan Ming knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he would not be able to sway his master, so he held up the medical book and swallowed, "My disciple must be a good student and I must not embarrass you, master, as a miracle doctor."
Pan Chenggui saw that his son was really sad and couldn't bear it, so he advised: "The miracle doctor really doesn't consider staying in Chengyang County. Now that you are famous in Chengyang County and everyone respects you, why do you have to leave? Is it because you are dissatisfied?"
Our little Chengyang County cannot accommodate a great doctor."
Zhufeng had no choice but to find an excuse, "My ancestors are in Yinzhou and I have to go back to recognize them."
Having said that, Pan Chenggui could not help but express his gratitude to the Qingyu family. After all, it was their credit for Chengyang County to save the day several times, and then prepared a carriage to send the family to Yinzhou.
A carriage is naturally better than walking, so the Qingyu family did not refuse.
Zhufeng finally asked Pan Ming to say goodbye to Zhao Qian's family for them, and Pan Ming agreed.
After saying goodbye, and just as he was about to leave, Qingyu pulled Zhufeng and whispered.
After Zhufeng finished listening, he changed the topic of farewell and said to Pan Chenggui: "Sir, there are two more things..."
"The miracle doctor said it's okay." Pan Chenggui nodded.
"One of them is about the climate this year. It will be dry this year and there will be a severe drought. If we plant conventional crops, we will definitely encounter famine. It is recommended to plant cold-resistant crops, such as cotton, highland barley, wheat, and sugar beets."
Pan Chenggui was shocked. He still remembered why Qingyu's family came to the city in the first place. Coupled with the understanding he had gained during this period, he was completely convinced of Qingyu's family. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately handed over his family and was extremely grateful.
,
"Thank you very much, the miracle doctor, for telling me. If it hadn't been for what the miracle doctor said today, I'm afraid countless people in Chengyang County would have starved to death in the coming year. I wonder what the second thing the miracle doctor did?"
Zhufeng chuckled: "The second thing is that I want to ask you to provide us with a road guide. In addition, I also want to ask for a letter of recommendation."
"It should be like this." Pan Chenggui sent a message to Hucao to set up a road guide, and ordered someone to get paper and pen. In a short while, he finished writing a recommendation letter, paid the money and stamped it, and then handed it to Zhufeng, but
road:
"It's just that the position of governor of Yinzhou is higher than mine, and Chengyang County is not within the jurisdiction of Yinzhou. I'm afraid my letter of recommendation won't be of much help to you."
Zhufeng took it with a smile, "Your Excellency is the Sheriff of Chengyang County, so the weight of this letter of recommendation is naturally very important."
Pan Chenggui smiled politely and asked Huang Ji to personally send Qingyu's family out of the city after everything was settled.
Twenty miles out of the city, Huang Ji said goodbye to Qingyu and his family at a fork in the road.
Zhufeng waited for Huang Ji to leave, then said bitterly to Qingyu: "Junior sister, headmaster, when we get to Yinzhou, can you please stop dealing with those officials? These people will be full of trouble if they get involved."
Qingyu smiled, knowing that he had misunderstood the role of the recommendation letter, so he explained: "In Yinzhou, I have other plans, and this recommendation letter also has another purpose, senior brother, don't worry."
Zhufeng felt relieved and drove the carriage toward the southeast.
...
It was Mengxia, and a severe drought had begun to appear. The scorching sun stretched like a fire umbrella in the sky, scorching the earth. The trees on the roadside shrank into a ball, motionless. The leaves were even covered with a thick layer of loess.
Yanyan rolled up her roll.
On the winding loess road, a carriage suddenly passed by at a high speed, sending up a piece of loess, choking people on the roadside and covering their noses, coughing and swearing.
Qingyu grasped the edge of the car window tightly with both hands, and her eyes fell on the people on the roadside. It was already noon, the sun was shining, and many people began to sit down and rest.
These people were all ragged and thin adults and children. There was so little water along the road that a sour smell could be smelled when the carriage passed by them.
These people have fled from various places. They have survived the winter somewhere, and now they are continuing on their way to where they hope to be.
Some of them carried burdens, some pushed wheelbarrows, and some carried baskets;
Some people hold small children in their arms and hold a child in their hands, some people carry elderly parents on their backs, some people look at the sky as if praying, and some people dig out a piece of wet mud with their nails and feed it to their mouths.
.
This famine, from last autumn to now, has exhausted everything they can eat and use, but fortunately, Yinzhou is not far away. All of their eyes will involuntarily look in the same direction.
In six or seven days, you can reach the destination of this trip - Yinzhou.
The carriage finally drove to a place with few people and stopped. Shi'an led Qingyu out of the carriage, but Qingyu still sprained a little because her legs were weak and her butt was sore.
Hong Tao was even more exaggerated, holding her butt and carefully moving out of the carriage, breathing in the air that was hot but obviously fresher than inside the carriage, and then kept shouting, "Why is this poor Yinzhou so far away? It's killing me."
.”
"We're almost there." Wen Ya comforted her, and then she punched her leg with a grin on her face.
Zhufeng came down from the front room, and he was sitting in front. The situation was slightly better. Seeing that he was walking without any problems, Hongtao couldn't help complaining, "Can't you drive more steadily?"
Zhufeng innocently spread his hands, "Is this something I can do safely? Have you forgotten that you were besieged by refugees before?"
Hongtao let out a breath of anger.
They were traveling by horse-drawn carriage, which was not so tiring. However, there were many refugees along the way. At first, they were unaware of their precautions and were besieged for two whole days. If it were not for the gentle and elegant aura, the horses would have been eaten alive by those people, so
Later, whenever they wanted to go on the road, they would do it at a high speed, and the carriage would naturally bump around a lot.
Shi'an took out the cushions from the carriage and asked everyone to sit down, and then he and Zhufeng started preparing lunch.
"Junior sister, head, give me some water. Let me wash my face. It's too hot." Hong Tao wiped her neck with her sleeves. The area was already crimson, hot and itchy, and there were a few red ridges when she scratched her neck.
Qingyu took out a basin of water from Xuannv Hall, and everyone poured it with their hands and washed their hands and faces. They immediately felt much better.
"Is there enough water?" I remembered to ask after washing the hearts.
"It can be used to go to Yinzhou." Qingyu said. Then he looked at the other refugees not far away. Those people were staring at them like fire. They were all people who had been hungry and thirsty for many days.
There were too many people to help, but there were only a few. Qingyu still wanted to help, so she climbed onto the carriage, poured a basin of water from Xuannv Hall, and prepared for Shi'an to deliver it to those people.
However, when pouring water, looking at the random ripples of water in the basin, Qingyu's originally calm face suddenly froze, and he was stunned.
