Chapter 64 Suzhou
"I don't know any famous doctors." Xin Suzhao didn't know what he learned there and gasped. When Chen Heng's disappointment surfaced, he explained, "But my master knows."

"You still have a master???" Chen Heng was also very surprised.

"Otherwise, how do you think I got my martial arts?" Xin Suzhao lifted his chin triumphantly, like a little general returning from victory, "I was in poor health when I was young, and Master received my father's kindness in the early years, so he came to treat me. After three doses of medicine, my illness was cured, and he even taught me some kung fu."

"So your master is very skilled in medicine?"

"Anyway, I have never seen anyone who is better than him."

Seeing Xin Suzhao's answer like this, Chen Heng couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly sat beside the other party, and asked happily: "Then where is Master now?"

"It's a little far away. He recently hid in Suzhou, and the first two are still wandering around in Jinling." When Chen Heng asked, Xin Suzhao scratched his head in embarrassment.

Chen Heng couldn't care less about Su Zhao's words. At this moment, he was only thinking about seeking medical treatment and saving lives, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Xin, can you write a letter to invite your master?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Xin Suzhao shook his head, and said bluntly, "My master is used to wandering around. No matter how many people ask him for a doctor's consultation, he hides whenever he can. If you really want to invite him, we have to go to Suzhou City."

At the end, Chen Heng didn't notice that the other party's eyes were shining.

Chen Heng only took a few steps on the spot before asking solemnly, "How long will it take us to go to Suzhou City?"

"If we ride a fast horse, it will take fifteen days to go there. But if we are willing to spend money, we can cross the river by boat, take a boat at Zhenjiang Ferry, and go straight down the canal. It only takes three or four days to reach Suzhou."

Three or four days?Chen Heng calculated the time several times in his mind, and suddenly realized that he was almost cheated by this kid. Since it takes [-] days to travel by land, how can the cost of staying in the hotel be more than the boat fare?

"Let's take the boat." Chen Heng directly decided.

Hearing the classmate's answer, Xin Suzhao shook his head in disappointment, and muttered: "What's the point of taking a boat, you can't even move if you hold back."

Chen Hengna will take his complaints to heart, and his headache now is why he asked for leave.After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't think of a reason that is too suitable. The excuses that could be used in the previous life are easy to poke people's spines now.

Chen Heng decided to ask Xin Suzhao what he meant, "Brother Xin, what reason did you decide to ask for leave?"

"You don't even need to think about it, just run away."

Xin Suzhao would care about this, he was already very excited.This kind of sense of immorality of leading good children to skip classes, and the legitimate reason to save others, Xin Suzhao wished he could fly out of the academy with a pair of wings now.

Chen Heng heard the same thing.Why do you care so much now, don't read the book, you have learned all the pedantry, saving people is the most important thing.

After all, he is an adult core, much more courageous than ordinary children, so he made a decision on the spot, saying: "Let's go back to the room and tell Dayou and them, let them tell the teacher tomorrow, so as not to worry them tomorrow."

"Success." Xin Suzhao rubbed his hands, got up with Chen Heng, and walked quickly to the dormitory together.

Shaking Dayou and Xue Biao who were still asleep in the house, Chen Heng explained his intentions, Xue Biao was the most astonished, and wanted to persuade him, but seeing Chen Heng's resolute face, he couldn't help saying: "Brother Heng, just go, I will help you talk to Mei Xuezheng."

"Is there enough money on my body? I still have some on me. Do you want to take it on the road and use it first?" Qian made a gesture to get up to get the silver.

Chen Heng was ashamed to take his money, so he hurriedly dissuaded him, "It's okay, brother Qian, I have enough." Then he said, "I'll leave the matter of the academy to you two."

"You just go, I'll help you deal with it." Xue Biao also had some calculations in his heart. He might not be able to speak well in front of Mei Xuezheng, and maybe his father would have to show up.

"En." Chen Heng nodded heavily. There was no need to say too many words of thanks between the two of them.

The four quietly touched each other to say goodbye, but Xue Biao and Xin Suzhao were the most interesting.The former stiffened his neck and said, "Take care of Brother Heng."

"You still care about yourself, you can't even find a doctor."

Chen Hengcai didn't have time to take care of the two of them, not even packing their luggage.Taking all the money and taels, he followed Xin Suzhao out of the dormitory like a thief, all the way to the corner.

The wall of the academy is slightly higher than that of an adult, and there is another fake stone standing close to it in the corner.Chen Heng climbed up the fence by stepping on it, sat on it with two legs, looked at the deserted street, and suddenly said: "It's broken, why didn't I think the city gate would be closed."

Although the curfew in Yangzhou is not as strict as in the capital city, there will still be merchants and pedestrians setting up stalls on the streets at midnight, but the gates of the city will never be opened in the middle of the night.

"It's all here, are you still worried about this? Let's go down first." Xin Suzhao jumped off the wall without saying a word.Seeing this, Chen Heng had no choice but to follow.

The two walked along the alleys and alleys of Yangzhou and rushed to the quiet ferry. "Go to that inn to deal with it overnight, and tomorrow we will take a boat across the river early."

Having already reached this point, Chen Heng naturally would not refuse, and when Xin Suzhao woke up the shopkeeper, he took the initiative to go forward and pay for the accommodation.

During the rest that night, Xin Suzhao pulled Chen Heng and said, "I didn't expect Brother Heng to have such courage. Is the person you want to save so important to you?"

I'm afraid that if I don't save him, I'm sorry for Zhihe and Osmanthus Cake.Chen Heng shook his head, and reluctantly explained: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

"What you said, my master will definitely praise you for your wisdom roots when he hears it."

Chen Heng was noncommittal, turned over on the bed, and whispered to Xin Suzhao, "Don't you need to tell your father?"

"Does it need to be said? You will know tomorrow." Xin Suzhao waved his hand casually.

Chen Heng was puzzled, so he had to sleep with his clothes on.

The next day, the two of them got up early and left the inn. As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw the guard who had escorted him back to Taixing County, standing on the street waiting for them.

"Master..."

"You don't need to say too much, I'm going here to fulfill the righteousness between me and brother Heng, even if my father is here, I will say the same." Xin Suzhao replied with righteous words, which seemed to be irresistible.

The guard glanced at Chen Heng, nodded silently, and followed behind the two of them without saying a word.

"Look, my father knows now." Xin Suzhao smiled and spread his hands to Chen Heng. Chen Heng was also desperate, but he didn't expect that he had such a plan.

The group of three didn't say much anymore, they drove the ferry to get on the passenger ship to Zhenjiang, crossed the river, and took a cargo ship that went straight to Suzhou. The journey was so hard that there was no need to say more.

The news of their departure gradually spread in the school.These two living beings disappeared overnight, and no teacher would be able to bear it.

After all, Xue Biao was young, so he explained to Mei Xuezheng in every possible way, but the other party couldn't listen.Xue Biao had no choice but to borrow Chen Heng's method, hang a paper crane under the peach tree, first call out Sister Lin, and then call Baoqin to her face through Sister Lin.

"Brother, is there something important?" Baoqin was puzzled by Xue Biao's effort to find her.

After Xue Biao explained what happened to Chen Heng, even Sister Lin who was listening widened her eyes, not daring to say anything: "You said my elder brother ran away with his classmate?"

What is this called? Sister Lin felt dizzy for a while, and couldn't figure out why Chen Heng did this for a while.

Xue Biao couldn't explain in detail either. First, he was worried that Chen Heng didn't invite the famous doctor back, and second, he was worried that the famous doctor couldn't treat sister Lin's brother well, so he could only vaguely explain the reason.

"Sister, you go home today, tell Dad about this matter, and ask him to mediate on your behalf."

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Xue Baoqin agreed directly, "Don't worry, brother, my sister knows the seriousness, and I will definitely persuade daddy to come forward."

The next day, when Xue Zhen came to the academy in a carriage, Xin Geng also rode a horse from the camp outside the city to the door. The two parents looked at each other, thinking that the other was the elder of a classmate who was a rebellious child, and they only chatted for a few words.

One person was carrying a gift, the other was holding a knife, and hand in hand they pushed open the door of Mei Xuezheng.

…………

After three days of waterway, you can have a panoramic view of the water scenery on both sides of the south of the Yangtze River.Chen Heng finally arrived at the bustling city of Suzhou, disembarked along the ferry, and waited for the officers and soldiers to inspect him. Chen Heng pulled Xin Suzhao, who was breathing heavily, and asked, "Where are you going to find your master now?"

The sun was hanging high above the head, Xin Suzhao set up a pergola to look into the distance, and announced a place name, "Hanshan Temple."

How is it here?Chen Heng raised his eyebrows.
