Chapter 21 Youzhou City

To subdue Jiaolong, all the members must be found. There are many people and strength, so Dongfang Yu'er and Sima Ao are now rushing to Xuanzhen Temple.

Dongfang Yu'er got on Sima Ao's horse and sat in front. Sima Ao held the rein with one hand and whipped the horse with the other, and the horse galloped northward.

Along the way, she met many people fleeing the flood. Looking at these people who were suffering from the flood, Dongfang Yuer couldn't bear to distribute the silver rewarded to her by the king of the southern kingdom to these refugees. It turned out that these refugees were also going to the northern kingdom.

The northern country is a high-slope terrain, while the southern country is a low-lying terrain. There will be more rain in the south than in the north, so there will often be floods in the south.The people in the south would migrate to the north in fear of floods. In order to preserve the population of their own country, the monarch of the Southern Kingdom set up a checkpoint in Youzhou City at the junction of the Southern Kingdom and the Northern Kingdom.

After the heavy rain, the road was difficult to walk, and it was full of mud ditches. Fortunately, there was a horse, and it only took two days to go to Beiguo.It was already dark, and the horse was tired after running for a day. Sima Ao suggested to rest for a night and start again tomorrow.

With a sound of "Woo", Sima Ao pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse stopped.Sima Ao and Dongfang Yu'er dismounted, took off their cloaks, and shook the rainwater off the cloaks.

"There is a cave about 200 meters away from the wilderness. We will stay in the cave tonight."

Dongfang Yu'er followed Sima Ao into the cave little by little, and the cave was so dark that it was scary.Dongfang Yu'er was very vigilant, and carefully drew out the "White Death Sword" to block the front to prevent sudden attacks by fierce beasts or poisonous snakes.

"Don't worry, this cave is relatively safe. My master (Emperor Wenchang) and I once lived in this cave for one night."

Dongfang Yu looked at Sima Ao with unbelievable eyes, Sima Ao smiled slightly and continued to walk forward.

After entering the cave, Sima Ao found some dry firewood and set up a bonfire. Dongfang Yu took off her soaked coat and held the sleeves to dry over the bonfire.

The red bonfire lit up the quiet black hole, and the red fire made Dongfang Yu'er more shy and charming, Sima Ao couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Dongfang Yu'er was alone with a man for the first time, and she seemed to understand the relationship between men and women, which made her heart pound, and faced Sima Ao with a nervous and embarrassed expression.

"Does Wenqu Xingjun go down to earth often?" Dongfang Yu'er asked first in order to relieve the awkward atmosphere.

"The master is in charge of justice and benefits in the mortal world. He often goes down to inspect the order of the mortal world. As his disciple, of course I have to follow. Sometimes in order not to disturb the mortals, and to keep secrets from being leaked, we will camp in the wild."

"No wonder you know how to ride a horse. You know the customs and affairs of the world very well, just like a mortal." Dongfang Yu'er said with a joke.

Sima Ao smiled cheerfully, and said: "I still want to be a real mortal, gain fame in the exam, marry a wife and have children, and live a happy family life, how wonderful it would be!"

Dongfang Yu'er said with emotion: "Yes! But we are born as fairy fetuses, not mortals, so naturally we cannot live the lives of mortals."

Sima Ao nodded in agreement, and said, "Yu'er, are you hungry? How about I go out and find something to eat and come back."

Dongfang Yu'er was really hungry after hearing Sima Ao's question.All the way along the way, I only cared about the journey, and distributed some dry food and money to the refugees. Now I am really hungry and tired.

Sima Ao heard Dongfang Yu'er's stomach rumbling and knew she was hungry, so he hurried out of the cave to find something to eat.Dongfang Yu dried her wet coat, and then dried Sima Ao's cloak.

Not long after, Sima Ao came back with some sweet potatoes and roasted them in the campfire.After two cups of tea, the sweet potato was roasted deliciously, Sima Ao broke half of the roasted sweet potato and gave it to Dongfang Yu'er.

Dongfang Yu'er took the sweet potato and ate it politely...

Seeing that Dongfang Yu'er was sleepy, Sima Ao said, "Yu'er, go and rest first! I'll stay behind."

Dongfang Yu'er nodded, lay down on the stone slab and slept on her side. The two of them didn't talk much in the quiet night, but they wouldn't be restrained or embarrassed either.

After an unknown amount of time, Sima Ao also felt sleepy, so he simply lay down and squinted for a while, and fell asleep with his hands on his head.

It was a peaceful night, and I slept until dawn.

Dongfang Yu'er and Sima Ao got up and continued on their way. The destination for this stop was Youzhou City.

The city of Youzhou arrived soon, Dongfang Yuer and Sima Ao got off the horse, and Sima Ao handed the horse to the post station for raising.

The city of Youzhou is built with blue bricks, solid and towering, the gates of the city are heavily guarded, and there are hundreds of forbidden soldiers guarding the gates. Anyone who wants to enter Youzhou City must have a customs clearance certificate.

Those refugees who fled the flood had customs clearance certificates. They wanted to force their way into the city, but were stopped by the forbidden soldiers with their swords drawn. The refugees had no choice but to turn their heads back crying.

"It seems that we need to meet up with the members as soon as possible. If the dragon does not surrender for a day, the people in the southern kingdom will not be able to live in peace." Sima Ao said.

Dongfang Yu'er nodded in agreement, and the two of them quickened their pace and entered the city.

Merchants gathered in the quaint Youzhou City. Unexpectedly, Youzhou City was more prosperous than Yancheng, the capital of the Southern Kingdom. No wonder so many refugees flocked into Youzhou City.

…………

"Hurry up, old man. I heard that there is a female doctor here. It doesn't cost money to see a doctor." The old woman said to the old man.

"Here we come, we come..." The old man followed the old woman closely with his cane.

Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of Chuanxi Street, there is a female lady with superb medical skills, who specializes in curing diseases for the poor without money. People in Youzhou City like to go to her for medical treatment.

Although Dongfang Yu'er has been in the mortal world for a while, she has been staying in the Southern Palace to recuperate her injuries, and she has not gone shopping to experience the bustling and bustling mortal world.When I first came to Youzhou City, I was really attracted by the prosperity of Youzhou.

When you see a rattle, you have to shake it twice, when you see beautiful hair accessories, you can't help but try it out, and when you see gorgeous silks and satins, you have to touch them.

Now that I heard such a strange person, my curiosity was broken again, and I followed the crowd to the big banyan tree at the entrance of West Street.Sima Aola couldn't hold back Dongfang Yu'er, so he could only follow him to have a look.

Sure enough, sitting under the big banyan tree at West Street Crossing, a woman in purple was treating patients, and beside her were several Taoist priests who were helping to mix and boil medicine.

The woman in purple was treating a seven-year-old child. The child's body was covered with red rashes, which were itchy and painful, making him extremely uncomfortable.The child cried out in agony, the skin on his face and hands were festered by his scratching.

"It's not smallpox, it's just a relatively rare water disease. Floods are everywhere now, and the water source is polluted. It's the easiest to get water disease." The woman in purple said to Tong's mother.

"The female doctor, what should I do with the water disease?"

Tonghai's mother is 40 years old, with gray hair and a face full of years, when she heard the woman in purple say, "It's not smallpox, but a rare water disease. The big rock of worry fell to the ground.

"Don't worry, old man. I'll apply some medicine to the child now, as long as it stops the itching, it will be fine." After speaking, the woman in purple put the crushed herbal medicine on the child's skin little by little.

The cold medicine stopped the itching on Tong's body, and Tong's child stopped crying and fussing, and even showed a smiling face.The people onlookers all applauded, she is really a goddess doctor.

Dongfang Yu'er managed to squeeze into the crowd, and exclaimed in surprise: "Sister Zilan..."
