Chapter 90 Departure to Yinzhou

Qu country was defeated and returned.Although the soldiers in Chengyang County were also severely injured, compared to the initial inability to resist, it was a blessing in misfortune that they did not let Quguo get good results.

Frustrated, Qu Guo's soldiers withdrew from Chengyang County, and turned around as if heading towards the rear of Mu State, but that's another story.

After Quguo withdrew its troops, the people of Chengyang County suffered from poisoning one after another, and most of the poisoned people were concentrated near the inner city river.

Fortunately, Zhuifeng gave the prescription one night in advance, and all the yamen also informed the whole city. Hu Cao even ordered all the medical centers in the city to brew the medicine, and each household distributed the decoction every day, so the evil was stopped within a few days.

During this process, Zhuifeng, the great hero, was not idle. Various yamen came to visit and condolences, and the common people even regarded him as the savior. The door was locked, and everyone said that he was injured and should not see guests.

In this way, Zhufeng was able to recuperate for a few days, and the gate of the courtyard was not opened until the leg injury scabbed over, but they packed their bags and left Gushu Hutong under the shock of Zhang Erbald and other neighbors.

The family came to the sheriff's office and bid farewell to Pan Chenggui and others.

Pan Ming couldn't accept their sudden farewell, and he held on to Zhufeng desperately, begging to stay for a while, begging to stay, and bluntly saying that he wanted to go with him, but when Pan Chenggui handed over an unacceptable After pleasing his eyes, he gave up his thoughts. In the end, Pan Ming could only ask with red eyes:

"How can there be such an irresponsible master like you, you are going to leave as soon as you get started, how can you let a half-hearted apprentice become a teacher?"

Zhuifeng brought him the two medical books that he had prepared long ago, and comforted him with a smile, "Even if the apprentice of a genius doctor is only a half-baked one, he is better than others. You should study and understand these two medical books. If you can master them well, Then you can leave the teacher."

"With just these two medical books, can you become a doctor as good as Master?" Pan Ming was obviously very skeptical.

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 persuaded him, he would not be able to persuade the master, so he choked up with his medical books, "I must study hard, and I will not embarrass the master as a genius doctor."

Seeing that his son was really sad, Pan Chenggui couldn't bear it, so he persuaded: "The genius 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 hate me?" My little Chengyang County can't accommodate a genius doctor."

Zhufeng had no choice but to find an excuse, "My ancestors are in Yinzhou, so I have to go back and recognize my ancestors."

Having said that, how could Pan Chenggui persuade him any more, he could only express his gratitude to Qingyu's family, after all, Chengyang County's several times of saving lives were thanks to them, and then prepared a carriage to send the family to Yinzhou.

It is better to have a carriage than to go on foot, Qingyu's family did not refuse.

In the end, Zhuifeng asked Pan Ming to say goodbye to Zhao Qian's family for them, and Pan Ming agreed.

After bidding farewell, just as she was about to leave, Qing Yu pulled Zhu Feng and whispered.

After listening to Zhufeng, he changed the subject of farewell, and said to Pan Chenggui: "My lord, there are two more things."

"It's okay for a genius doctor to say." Pan Chenggui nodded.

"The first one is about this year's climate. This year is dry and there is 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 startled, he still remembered why Qingyu's family entered the city at the beginning, coupled with his understanding during this period of time, he was completely convinced of Qingyu's family, so he was stunned for a moment, and immediately handed over his hands, grateful ,

"Thanks to the genius doctor for telling me. If there is no words from the genius doctor today, I am afraid that countless people will starve to death in Chengyang County in the coming year. I don't know what the genius doctor's second thing is?"

Zhu Feng chuckled: "The second thing is that I want to ask the adults to give us a road guide. In addition, I also want to ask for a letter of recommendation."

"It should be like this." Pan Chenggui sent someone to send a message to Hucao Office to lead the way, and ordered someone to take a pen and paper. After a while, he wrote a recommendation letter, paid for it and stamped the official seal, and then handed it to Zhufeng, but road:
"It's just that Yinzhou's state pastoral position is higher than mine, and Chengyang County is not under the jurisdiction of Yinzhou. I'm afraid my letter of recommendation won't help you much."

Zhuifeng took it with a smile, "My lord is the sheriff of Chengyang County, so the weight of this recommendation letter is naturally very important."

Pan Chenggui smiled politely, and after everything was settled, he asked Huang Ji to personally send Qingyu's family out of the city.

Twenty miles out of the city, Huang Ji bid farewell to Qingyu's family at a fork in the road.

After Zhufeng waited for Huang Ji to leave, he said bitterly to Qing Yu: "Junior Sister Head, when we arrive in Yinzhou, can we not deal with those officials, these people are full of gossip if they get involved."

Qingyu smiled, knowing that he misunderstood the function of the recommendation letter, so she explained: "In Yinzhou, I have other plans, and this recommendation letter also has other uses, brother, don't worry."

With peace of mind, Zhufeng drove the carriage to the southeast.

It was Mengxia, and the severe drought was beginning to appear. The scorching sun stretched across the sky like a fire umbrella, scorching the earth scorching hot.The tree shadows on the side of the road huddled together, motionless.The leaves were covered with a thick layer of loess, and Yanyan curled up.

On the winding loess road, a carriage suddenly passed by, flying a piece of loess, choking the roadside people, coughing and swearing.

Qing Yu held onto the edge of the car window tightly with both hands, and her eyes fell on those people on the side of the road. It was already noon and the sun was shining, and many people began to sit down and rest.

These people are all shabby and emaciated adults, old people and children. There is a lack of water along the road, so that when the carriage passes by them, they can still smell a sour smell.

These people are fleeing from various places. They have survived the winter somewhere, and now they continue on their way to the place where their hope is.

Some of them were carrying loads, some were pushing wheelbarrows, and some were carrying baskets;

Some people hold a small child in their arms and hold a child in their hands, some carry their elderly parents on their backs, some look up to the sky as if they are praying, some dig out a piece of wet mud from the ground with their fingernails and feed it in their mouths .

This famine, from last autumn to now, has exhausted all they can eat and use, but fortunately, Yinzhou is not far away.All of their eyes will involuntarily look in the same direction, and in another six or seven days, they will arrive at the end 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 sprained because her legs were weak and her buttocks were sore.

Heart was even more exaggerated. She clutched her butt and carefully moved down from the carriage, breathing in the hot air that was obviously fresher than inside the carriage, and then kept yelling, "Why is this broken Yinzhou so far away? It's killing me!" .”

"It's almost there." Wen Ya comforted her.Then he thumped his legs grinningly.

Chasing the wind came down from the front room, he was sitting in front, and his condition was a little better.Seeing that he was walking without hindrance, Hongtao couldn't help complaining, "Can't you drive more steadily?"

Zhuifeng innocently spread his hands, "Is this something I can hold steady? Have you forgotten what happened when you were surrounded by refugees?"

Hearts let out a foul breath bitterly.

They traveled by horse-drawn carriage, so they wouldn't be so tired at all, but there were many refugees along the way. At first, they had no sense of defense and were surrounded for two whole days. If it wasn't for their gentle and elegant manner, the horses would have been swallowed alive by those people, so Later, whenever they wanted to go on their way, they would do so at the speed of their horses, and the carriage would naturally bump violently.

Shi'an took out the cushions from the carriage for everyone to sit down, and then he and Zhufeng started to arrange lunch.

"Junior Sister Head, bring some water, I'll wash my face, it's too hot." Hearts wiped her neck with her sleeve, where it was already crimson, hot and itchy, with a few red ridges when she scratched it.

Qingyu took out a basin of water from Xuannv Hall, and everyone poured it with their hands and washed their hands and faces, feeling much more comfortable immediately.

"Is there enough water?" Hearts asked only after washing.

"It can be used in Yinzhou." Qing Yu said.Then he looked at the other refugees not far away. Those people were all staring at them like fire. Those were people who had been suffering from hunger and thirst for many days.

There were too many people to help, but there were a few, Qingyu still wanted to help, so she climbed into the carriage, poured a basin of water from the Xuannv Hall, and was going to ask Shi'an to send them there.

However, when pouring water, looking at the water ripples in the basin, Qing Yu's originally calm face suddenly froze, and he was stunned.
