Du He was too excited and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. In the second half of the night, sleepiness came and then went to bed. When he woke up, it was almost noon.

Du He quickly got up and got dressed. It was too late to wash up, so he ran out and met Wang Dainian as soon as he went out.

"Shaolang, you are waking up!"

Du He walked towards the stable and complained: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Wang Danian felt a little aggrieved: "Shaolang, you never allow me to urge you to get up. You even kicked me because of this."

Du He was speechless. When he was bypassing the yamen hall, he happened to see Wang Guang asking a yamen operator to do a task: "Send this letter to Xiaohe Village and hand it over to County Magistrate Du in person."

Du He stepped forward and snatched the letter from him and said, "Leave it to me, I'm going to see my brother, I'll take it there."

Although Wang Guang felt that this was a bit unruly, considering that Du He was Du Gou's younger brother, he should not do anything randomly, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother Shaolang, Shaolang, this letter did not say anything big, but it was not small. He reported to the magistrate Du about winning the bandit suppression. If he needed personnel from the side, I would take people there immediately when I came back."

Du He smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver it. By the way, you have the clothes of the yamen runners, give me a set."

Wang Guang asked in confusion: "What does the Shaolang want the yamen runners to do in clothes?"

Du He said: "Only the yamen's letters and documents can be sent by the yamen, so I will temporarily act as a temporary yamen runner in the yamen."

Wang Guang didn't expect Du He to be so abide by the rules, which made him happy. He quickly stood by the yamen runners to pick up a set of clothes for Du He.

When Du He took the clothes, he changed them on the spot, put the letter in his hand, and asked, "Which direction is Xiaohe Village?"

Wang Guangdao: "If you go out from the south gate and follow the official road to the southwest for five miles, you will encounter a fork in the road. Go up the path and three miles west, and there are three more forks. Choose the road to the south..."

Just hearing Wang Guang say that Du He felt that his head was about to explode, which was too complicated. He waved his hand directly: "Forget it, stop talking, I'll just ask someone for directions along the way." After that, he turned around and went to the stable to lead the horses.

Wang Danian followed him happily, Du He led the horse, and he also led the horse. Du He turned his head and looked at him, frowned and asked, "What are you doing to lead the horse?"

"Accompany Shaolang, go to Xiaohe Village." Wang Danian looked as if he was taken for granted.

Du He said: "Stay well in the county government, I'll go by myself."

"What can I do!" Du He said, "What if you meet a bad person halfway through?"

"Bad man? I chased seventy or eighty bandits yesterday, would I be afraid of the bad man?"

Wang Danian played a rogue: "I don't care. I just want to follow you, Shaolang. Even if you beat me to death, I will follow you."

Du He was speechless and thought to himself that it seemed that he could only go to Xiaohe Village to find a way to help him out, so he nodded and said, "Forget it, if you like to follow, then follow."

Wang Danian walked out of the county government with Ma and Du He in joy.

Xiaohe Village is less than twenty miles away from the county town, but due to the complicated road conditions, Du He still has to ask for directions along the way. When he arrived at Xiaohe Village, it was almost evening.

Xiaohe Village is not big, a small river surrounds the village. There is an ancient big locust tree at the beginning of the village. Dozens of families are sparsely distributed in the village, and the entire village is in irregular shape.

From a distance, I saw two yamen runners standing guard beside the wooden bridge leading to the village.

Du He arrived at the bridge and did not get off the horse. He crossed his hands on the horse's back and saluted: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Shaolang?" A yamen runner recognized him and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? You are still wearing our clothes?"

Du He smiled lightly and said, "Send a letter to my brother to my brother. The letter from the government should be sent by the official. I am now the official in your yamen." As he spoke, he took out the letter from his arms and wandered in his hand.

The yamen runner naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and even thought Shaolang was very down-to-earth. The yamen runner who knew Du He also smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, just send a letter to our brothers. Come on, Shaolang, I'll guide you."

Du He waved his hand: "No, just tell me how to get there after entering the village."

The yamen runner hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, Shaolang, you walk straight along the road in front of you after entering the village. At the end, there will be two forks, one east and the other west. Shaolang, you will go west. Although you will encounter several forks, you will eventually converge to the ancestral hall in the west. Next to the ancestral hall is the newly built shed there, and County Magistrate Du is there."

Du He rolled his eyes and asked, "Where is the patient with smallpox? You have to tell me, otherwise I am afraid that I will go in the wrong way."

"In the east of the Land Temple." The runner said, "You don't have to worry about this. The road to the Land Temple has been blocked, and our people are guarding there."

"Then I'll be relieved." Du He smiled and said, "I'll go in first."

"Here!" Several yamen runners sang together.

Du He rode a horse across the bridge, and Wang Danian followed closely behind. Du He had already begun to think about how to distribute Wang Danian's dog skin plaster.

Soon, he encountered two forks of roads. Sure enough, one went east and the other went west. He looked at both roads and found that both roads were winding and could not see the end. Maybe the government prohibited the people from going out. No villager on the road could see, and the doors of each household were closed.

Wang Danian seemed to point to the road to the west to show his sense of direction and said, "Shaolang, this is the west."

"You are smart!" Du He spat at him angrily and said, "You are riding in front."

Wang Danian was riding in front very obediently, and Du He followed behind.

At this moment, he had already thought of a way to escape.

After moving forward for dozens of feet, Du He suddenly jumped off the horse's back, then pretended to fall to the ground, lay on the ground, holding his right leg, screaming in pain.

Wang Danian looked back and was shocked. He quickly dismounted and ran to Du He to help him. He asked anxiously: "Shaolang, are you okay? Why did you fall down..."

"Don't move, it hurts...Oh...It's broken..."

"Half broken? Then what should I do? What should I do..." Wang Danian was so anxious that he was at a loss.

Du He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, saying, "Go and find my brother quickly and ask him to bring someone to carry me over. The Medicine King should be there too and will cure me. I will hand this letter to my brother."

"Okay, okay! I'll go now. Shaolang, don't move around, wait for me!" Wang Danian took the letter, went over and hurriedly got on the horse, and rode his horse straight forth.

Seeing that Wang Danian disappeared from his sight, Du He quickly got on his horse, turned his head and went straight east.

After walking east for hundreds of feet, there were no residents. The road was only seven or eight feet wide, with ponds on both sides. From a distance, you can see the road ahead being blocked by roadblocks. Two yamen runners were guarding there.

Du He rode forward, and the two yamen runners were also confused when they saw Du He riding his horse. When Du He approached, they asked Du He loudly: "But County Magistrate Du has ordered?"

Seeing that they didn't recognize him, Du He thought they had never seen him when he was in the county government office, so he stopped showing his identity and nodded, "Yes, County Magistrate Du has an order to build a shed in the ancestral hall. People urgently need people to carry wood. County Magistrate Du asked you to go back and carry wood. I am young and weak, and I can't help carrying wood. County Magistrate Du asked me to come here to guard you."

The two yamen runners looked at each other and were a little suspicious. One of them asked: "Does there be a command from County Magistrate Du?"

Du He took out his token from Duke Lai's Mansion and told them, "Time is urgent, and the county magistrate has no time to write a warrant, so he only gave me a waist card."

The two of them took a look. Although it was not the token of the government, in their opinion, only the token of the Duke of Lai was in County Magistrate Duke, so they believed it and said, "You are so kind to guard. Don't let anyone go, otherwise you can't afford it!"

Du He nodded vigorously and sweared: "Don't worry, you two! I know the importance of it!"

A yamen runner handed over the key to Du He, and the two left.

Du He took the key and thought happily: "I was originally going to climb over, but now it's better. If you have a key, it's much more convenient."

The roadblock is made of wooden boards, more than one person tall, and there is a door in the middle, and the door is locked by a copper lock.

When the two yamen runners walked away, Du He turned around and opened the door with the key, threw the key to the ground, and ran away.

After running about a hundred feet away, I gradually entered the woods and turned a corner. I saw many newly built thatched huts beside the road ahead. At the end of the thatched hut is a land temple with a small mud courtyard.

There are about ten thatched huts here, each of which is several feet apart.

Du He walked over quickly and saw that all the huts were closed and there was no one on the road.

This is not possible. I can’t find someone, how to infect smallpox to myself. Du He planned to knock on the door and accidentally glanced at the Land Temple and found that there seemed to be someone in the Land Temple.

He hurried into the Land Temple and saw a sturdy dark man kneeling in the heart of the Land Temple, as if he was worshiping the Land God.

Du He walked in, and the footsteps alarmed the man. The man turned his head and was stunned when he saw Du He.

Du He found that this was a very typical farmer, with a tendon and flesh all over his body. He was 25 or 26 years old. Due to years of working in the fields, his face and neck were tanned and shiny.

"You..." The farmer was about to speak.

Du He spoke first: "Don't talk, listen to me."

The dark man nodded in a daze. Although Du He was young, he was wearing the clothes of a yamen runner at the moment, which was a bit intimidating.

Du He said: "The Medicine King Sun Simiao came up with a way to restrain smallpox, but it needs someone to verify it. I am the person who was selected to verify this method. Now, I need a smallpox acne on you."

The dark man scratched his head straight, not quite understanding Du He's meaning.

Du He was a little anxious. After all, Wang Dainian called Du Gou when he went back, and the two yamen runners also went back to find Du Gou. His lies would be revealed soon. It is estimated that Du Gou will come in a short while. Even if Du Gou can't come in, Sun Simiao can come in. After all, Sun Simiao is not afraid of smallpox.

He repeated the point of his words loudly: "I need a smallpox on you now! Do you understand?"

"Oh." The dark man seemed to understand, got up and lifted his clothes, pointed to the smallpox scattered on his abdomen, and asked, "Do you want this?"

"Yes, that's it." Du He nodded.

The dark man asked in confusion: "How to do it?"

Du He pulled out the small hairpin used to tie his hair and said, "Don't move, I'll do it."

He said that he used the sharp part of the hairpin to poke a smallpox, and pus and blood immediately flowed out of the smallpox, and the tip of the hairpin was naturally stained with a lot of stains.

Du He looked at the pus and blood on the hairpin, showed a smug smile, and suddenly pierced the hairpin into his left arm.

"Ah——" A scream came from the Land Temple.

It was the screaming of Du He and the strong man. The strong man screamed in exclamation, and Du He screamed in pain.
