Chapter 4: Senior Medicine King

Du Hefeng rushed back to the mansion and immediately called Wang Danian to pack his bags and prepare a carriage. He went to Ci County early tomorrow morning to visit his brother Du Gou.

Of course, visiting Du Gou is just a cover. He can't tell Wang Dainian that he went to Ci County to talk about his life and ideals.

What he most hopes is to meet bandits halfway and intercept him.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, this time he set out on the road, he only brought two guards. Originally, he was going to take only one Wang Danian, but the butler Du Hong disagreed and said he wanted to call Du Chuke to persuade him. Du He could not resist Du Hong, so he had to bring Ding Datong and Ding Xiaomao's two guards.

Du He kept all the money for Wang Danian to keep. He had already planned it. If he met a bandit halfway, he would let Wang Danian go away directly and stay by himself. The bandits found that he was penniless and would definitely crack him in anger. If the bandits were not angry, he would find a way to anger the other party. Du He was not only talented but also had a lot of experience in making people angry.

Du He felt happy when he thought that he was about to wake up from his dream and return to the real world. However, when he had just been on the road for a day, he was already complaining.

The carriage was bumpy, making him unable to bear it. He was motion sickness and vomited all over the car. After a day, he felt that his stomach was almost vomiting. That feeling, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

So the next day, he changed to riding a horse. He had never ridden a horse before. Although Ding Datong taught him hard, this thing required proficiency. The horse's back was bumpy and he lacked skills. The inner side of his thighs kept rubbing against the saddle, as if scraping. It was nothing, but it was easy to get bald and slutty for a day. Of course, he didn't feel the pain.

When he was about to go to bed at night, he just took off his pants and went to bed. He found blood flowing from the inner side of his thighs. He was startled and quickly found a clean cloth to wipe the blood. After wiping it clean, he carefully found that the skin on the inner side of his thighs was worn out...

On the third day, Du He learned to be smart and asked Wang Danian to sit in the carriage, while he was sitting in the coachman's position. Yes, he drove himself, his master drove, and his servants took the carriage. This was a strange thing.

Du He seemed to have bad luck. He never met bandits all the way. When he entered the territory of Ci County, Du He felt like Master Sanzang who had to obtain the true scriptures after 81 difficulties. He was so excited that he kept waving the horse whip and urging the horse to go quickly.

When passing by Qingyang Town, Ding Datong came over and reminded: "Shaolang, let's stay in this town. It will be dark in another hour. If you miss Guantou, you will probably sleep in the wilderness tonight."

Du He hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, just find a place to stay in the town."

After saying that, he drove into Qingyang Town and slowly looked for a place to stay in the town.

Qingyang Town is just a small town, with only a dilapidated inn. The inn doesn’t even have a name. The inn’s broken doors are creaking when blown by the wind.

Du He stopped in front of the inn in a carriage, and then the four of them walked into the inn together. A middle-aged man with a beard at the counter was taking a nap. He woke up immediately when he saw a guest coming in. He hurriedly smiled and greeted him: "Gathers are welcome, guests are welcome."

Du He looked at Xiaomouyi and asked, "Can you go to the room?"

Xiaomoustache smiled awkwardly and said, "In our remote area, there are no rooms available. There are only two empty rooms. Do you want to live in a distinguished guest?"

Du He knew there was no choice, so he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll want both empty rooms."

Wang Dainian added: "Put our horses to the stable to feed some fine materials."

"Sorry, distinguished guest." Xiaomouqian smiled awkwardly again, "There is no essence in the shop."

Du He waved his hand: "Just feed, there is no need to pay attention to it."

"Okay! Gouwa, come and take the distinguished guest to the room!"

"Come on!" A young man in a 17 or 18-year-old black cloth shirt walked out from behind, waved to Du He and the others, and said, "Dear guest, come with me."

Du He and the other four followed the boy named Gouwa and entered the backyard. They saw only three rooms in the dilapidated yard. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard the screams of women coming from the westernmost room.

Du He was puzzled. When he approached, he found a man's voice: "Have it, bear it, the grandpa has already hired a doctor, bear it..."

"Ah, I can't..." the woman screamed in pain.

Du He turned his head and looked at Gouwa, and asked in surprise: "In this room in the west..."

Gouwa explained: "It's a country couple who are about to give birth to a child. They come to the town to find Wenpo. Both Wenpos are not in the town. Their Ahon has already gone to hire a doctor."

"Oh..." Du He nodded and followed Gouwa to the two rooms.

The gouwa handed them the key, gave them a few words, and left.

Wang Danian was very sensible and gave the room to Du He. He and his brothers squeezed into the room in the middle. The room in the east was far from the mother's room, so the sound they heard was naturally small and would not be disturbed.

After Du He entered the room, he saw that the room was very simple, with a short desk, a bed, and a wardrobe. There was a coarse porcelain teapot and water cup on the desk, and nothing else.

Du He doesn't care about these things now. He throws his luggage away and lays on the bed to take a break.

Maybe he was too sleepy, Du He fell asleep unknowingly, and didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly he was woken up.

He sat up and heard someone crying outside: "What should I do, but what should I do? I searched all over the town, but I couldn't find the doctor. It's so deadly, so deadly..."

Du He walked out of the room and saw that it was already evening, with red clouds all over the sky, a gray-haired old man cried in the yard, jumping so anxiously, and a young man in his twenties with a little pockmark on his face was persuading him.

In the room to the west, there were also women's screams of pain. It was obvious that the young man with a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a face of a

"I...I can't do it..." The woman's voice in the room suddenly became weird, short and rapid, although sharp, seemed to be at the end of her strength.

The man with a numb face also heard that the woman's voice was wrong and ran back to the room quickly. The old man forgot to cry and followed him quickly.

Wang Danian and the Ding brothers walked out of the room. Wang Danian looked at Du He and said depressedly: "Young man, we may not be able to rest tonight."

Du He said calmly: "It's okay."

Now he doesn't care about anything. Anyway, this is a dream. He cares about what he does. Now he only cares about when he can die.

In the room to the west, the woman's voice stopped abruptly, and the howling of the old man and his son suddenly rang out. Du He knew that the mother was probably dead.

The bearded shopkeeper of the inn suddenly walked into the yard, looked at the room to the west, shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, another person walked into the yard and saw an old Taoist priest holding a vine and wooden stick with white hair. The Taoist robe on the old Taoist body was covered with dust. Although the Taoist bun was fixed with a wooden hairpin, it was a little scattered, and the face was stained with dust, making it look very depressed.

Du He was a little surprised when he saw this old Taoist, because it was the first time he had been in this world that he had seen such an old man. Why did this old man feel very old? Because his hair, beard, and eyebrows were all white, the snow-white one, without a trace of black hair.

Although this old Taoist priest looked very old, he was quite energetic and had a rosy complexion. When he walked, he was straight and his back was not slow.

The old Taoist walked to the bearded shopkeeper with a vine-wood crutch in his hand and asked in an old voice: "Laojia, is something happening here? Why are anyone crying?"

The bearded shopkeeper sighed: "I have a big belly lady from the countryside. I am about to give birth. I come to the town to find someone to deliver my baby. Who knows that Wen Po and the doctor are not in the town. Alas... I am dead, one corpse and two lives."

While speaking, the young man with numb face came out of the room on the west side, raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, suppressed his grief and walked to the shopkeeper, apologized: "Shopkeeper, I'm really sorry, my aunt died in your inn, which has added bad luck to you, and I will definitely compensate you in the future."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "The dead are the most important thing, so you can feel sorry for it. While it is not yet dark, hurry up and buy a coffin."

"Thank you, the shopkeeper." The young man thanked him and walked out of the yard.

The old Taoist priest seemed to be very curious. He walked out of the door of the west room, looked inside, took a few glances, walked in, and then vaguely heard him seemingly talking to the old man inside.

After a while, Du He was about to go back to his room to rest, when he suddenly heard a scream from the room to the west, which was the voice of a woman.

Wang Danian was startled, shrank to Du He, and said in panic: "Isn't that woman dead? She was a zombie?"

Du He suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he suddenly guessed who the old Taoist was.

The shopkeeper was also a little frightened and said to Du He: "Disciple, why don't you... go out with me to hide first?"

Du He waved his hand and smiled: "No, you don't have to panic, it's not a zombie, the old Taoist priest is the saint of medical Taoism and has saved people."

"Can the dead still be saved?" Wang Danian was a little disbelief.

Everyone did not dare to approach the room in the west, but they heard the old man's surprise cry from inside: "I'm awake! I'm really awake..."

After a long time, the cry of a baby suddenly came from the room to the west. Except for Du He, everyone else was shocked. They decided to stay here and see what was going on.

"Congratulations, you are a man, mother and son are safe..." The old Taoist laughter came from the room.

Then, the old Taoist walked out with a smile on his face, followed by the old man. He was holding a baby in his hand. Everyone was amazed and couldn't believe their eyes.

At this time, the sun sets, and only the dim sunset is left. The old Taoist walked to the shopkeeper and asked, "It's going to be dusk, the shopkeeper, may I ask... Is there a place for the Taoist priest to stay for a night?"

The shopkeeper apologized after hearing this: "I'm really sorry, there are already guests in all three rooms."

The old Taoist smiled awkwardly and said, "The shop misunderstood. The Taoist priest has no money to live in. The shop only needs to borrow a woodshed for the Taoist priest to make do with it for a night. By the way, the Taoist priest wants to make a fame and ask for some leftovers."

Before the store owner answered, Du He suddenly stepped forward and said, "Master, if you don't dislike it, you will be in my room tonight and stay with me. Although I don't have any food, I still have some dry food and can also be distributed to you."

"Ah, that's so good." The old Taoist was extremely happy when he heard this, and crossed his hands to salute Du He, "The young man is so kind-hearted."

Du He crossed his hands and returned the gift: "Senior Medicine King is the true heart of the Bodhisattva, and I can't bear your gift."

The old Taoist was stunned when he heard this and looked at Du He: "Young man recognizes the Taoist priest?"

Du He smiled slightly and said, "In today's world, except for the senior Sun Simiao, the younger generation cannot think of a second person."

"Not the dead are resurrected." Sun Simiao smiled faintly, "If medicine does not kill the disease, those who can save the life will not be killed."

"Senior said it very well." Du He turned sideways slightly, put on a pose of invitation, and said, "Senior, please come in."

"Haha, thank you young man, I'm welcome." After saying that, he walked into Du He's room with a cane.

Du He followed closely and went into the room.

After entering the house, Du He lit up the oil lamp and asked Sun Simiao to sit down. Then he took out two pieces of Hu cake from his bag, poured two glasses of water, and the two shared the Hu cake.

Du He didn't know why he helped Sun Simiao. After all, this was a dream and he shouldn't care about anything.

He guessed that perhaps it was because he admired Sun Simiao, a noble and honest senior expert, who could not be encountered in reality, so he would meet him in his dream.

After eating Hu cakes, Du He added some water to Sun Simiao and said, "Senior doesn't seem to live in Ci County, right?"

"Well, I won't live here." Sun Simiao said, "The Taoist priest came here for hundreds of miles to pursue a patient."

"Seeking for a patient?" Du He was a little curious when he heard this, "It's just a patient. Since he doesn't want to treat you, why should you chase so far?"
