Fleeing from famine and farming: I made a fortune by relying on medical skills

Chapter 11 Deciding to settle down
"Which village are you from, why did you run to the back of our village, no! You are refugees who went up the mountain before.

After washing and changing into clean clothes, I almost didn't know each other.Stop, don't come here again, otherwise, we will be rude. "Zhuang Xiaohe saw four people walking towards him. At first, he didn't recognize Huang Zisu and Huang Zisu as refugees fleeing famine. After he recognized them, Zhuang Xiaohe pointed at Huang Zisu and Huang Zisu with a hatchet in his right hand, telling them not to approach.

"We don't have any malicious intentions. We just fled here and don't know where the land is. I'm here to ask you about the news." Huang Bai saw that the young man in front of him was so guarded, so the four of them stopped coming forward, so as not to irritate the people in front of him. Young man, it will be difficult to inquire about news at that time.

"Brother, my family is all educated, sensible and sensible, and will never do things that hurt nature, steal property, or ruin crops.

We are only here to inquire about the news with you, so that we can deal with ourselves in the future. "Huang Zisu smiled at Zhuang Xiaohe, and said softly in a slow tone.

Showing that he is harmless, so that he can let go of the vigilance of the young man in front of him, and then he can learn more news from him.

"Okay, if you have any questions, feel free to ask, as long as I know, I will tell you." Zhuang Xiaohe saw that the eyes of the four people in front of him were clear, his body was clean, he had the temperament of a gentle scholar, his complexion was rosy and energetic, and he was not like other escapees. Dirty as a refugee, his eyes glow when he sees food, and when he hears that they are just asking for information, it is not easy for Zhuang Xiaohe to see them, he put down the hatchet in his hand and said.

"My little brother, where is this place now, and what boundary are we in?" Huang Bai saw the young man in front of him put down the hatchet in his hand, knowing that he had let go of his guard, Huang Bai asked impatiently.

"The place where you are now is Yunhe Village in Shanshui Town."

"Yunhe Village in Shanshui Town? Which county or prefecture does Shanshui Town belong to?" Huang Bai continued to ask.

"Shanshui Town is under Qingyun County, and Qingyun County is under the jurisdiction of Yunfu City."

"Isn't this part of Yushui Mansion? No, is Yunfu City the one closest to Tongmen Pass?" Huang Bai seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a changed expression.

If talking about other prefectures, maybe Huang Bai would not be so clear, but Yunfu City is different from other prefectures.

Yunfu City is the nearest big city next to Tongmen Pass, the frontier pass. In previous years, when the army was in turmoil, once Tongmen Pass was lost or Mongolians broke in, Yunfu City would be the first to suffer.

"This is Yunfu City."

"Then what are the prices in Shanshui Town now? How do you buy and sell rice, noodles, oil, pork, cloth, and sweet potatoes?" Huang Zisu saw her father and second uncle heard that this was Yunfu City, and the expressions of the two brothers changed. From the looks of it, this Yunfu City is not a good place.

"The cheapest broken rice here costs fifteen to twenty cents a catty, thirty cents a catty for fine rice, and fifty cents a catty for polished rice.

Fifteen copper plates per catty of pork, cloth... "Zhuang Xiaohe replied calmly.

"How's the study? How's the doctor here? Is it expensive to see a doctor?" Huang Zisu asked again.

"I don't know much about reading, but most of the people here are practicing martial arts, or even archery.

As for doctors, they are very expensive here. There is only one pharmacy in the town, and there are three doctors.

Most people don't dare to get sick, even if they get sick, they have to endure it, and when they pass, they save the money for seeing a doctor and taking medicine. If they really can't bear it, they can only go to see a doctor.

Don't care about it, if a doctor feels the pulse and prescribes a prescription, it will cost thirty Wen.

If you want to take other doctors out to see a doctor, you will have to pay at least one hundred yuan per trip. Some doctors are more skilled, and the price will have to increase by three to five hundred yuan per trip. "Zhuang Xiaohe's situation with these things is because her mother was ill a few years ago, and she went to the town to invite a doctor to see a doctor at home. It cost two hundred Wen, and the medicine she drank was not cheap. The assistant only spent [-] Wen, and after drinking for two months in a row, it cost their family six or seven taels of silver, so Zhuang Xiaohe still remembers this incident vividly.

Afterwards, Huang Zisu asked some more questions, and after learning about their current situation, the four of them immediately returned to the cave where they stayed, and then told Huang Yaozi what they had heard, before making a decision, whether they should settle here up.

"Father, something is wrong. We are not in Yushui Mansion at all, but in Yunfu City near Tongmen Pass." Huang Lian shouted badly after seeing his father.

After Huang Yaozi heard that they were in Yunfu City, he frowned tightly and didn't speak.

"Father, what's wrong with this Yunfu City?" Huang Zisu didn't know that her father, second uncle and grandpa knew that they were in Yunfu City, and they all had serious expressions on their faces. She asked her father a little puzzled.

"This is a big city closest to Tongmen Pass in Yunfu City. In previous years, when the army was in turmoil, once Tongmen Pass fell, or people broke in, the first people to suffer would be the residents living in Yunfu City," Huang Bai explained. road.

"So that's it." Hearing this, Huang Zisu somewhat understood why her father and the others looked solemn and worried.

What they worry about is nothing more than worrying that the war will affect their lives, cause them to flee again, face displacement again, and flee their hometowns.

"What do you say, are you going or staying?" After Huang Yaozi pondered for a while, he said to his three sons and Huang Zisu.

He heard Susu's big talk before, and he also felt that it was best to settle down in this village.

Now that he heard that their territory was in Yunfu City, he hesitated instead, whether he should settle here or not.

Because in the past two years, I have heard that the border is not peaceful. If a war breaks out and affects Yunfu City, they may face a second escape.

"Father, I want to settle down here. If there is a war, the border will definitely need our doctors to go to the military camp to treat soldiers who are fighting for the country. As doctors, we have the responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded. At that time, not only can we Healing diseases and saving lives can also serve the country.”

Huang Qin, who has always been honest and honest, has such great ideals and ambitions.

"Father, I think this village is also very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, rich products, and most importantly, there are so many game in the mountains, we can have no worries about eating and drinking in the future.

Otherwise, we will settle down in this village. Seeing his father looking towards him, Huang Lian said to his father with a playful smile.

On the contrary, Huang Yaozi saw that he was out of shape and had a hippie smile on his face. At this time, he still wanted to eat, and Huang Yaozi really wanted to slap him on the face.
