ancient female doctor

Chapter 97 On the Road
Early the next morning, just after dawn, the mountains were still quiet, and the green bamboos rose up.

I washed half a bowl of batter with the leftover boiled water from last night, and roasted two pheasants and one hare for Xiaobai, and the medium-rare meat was ready soon.When Xiaobai started to eat his own breakfast, Qingzhu found a piece of ginger in the medicine betel, sliced ​​it thinly with a dagger, and chewed a few pieces to eat.

There is a stream next to the camp, which is still crystal clear.In the past, Qingzhu would choose a safe stream to take a bath when the sun was shining at noon, but today he washed it early in the morning.

The stream water is very cold, but Qingzhu ate a few slices of ginger, so he doesn't have to worry about freezing himself.

Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, no need for doctors to prescribe.In fact, eating a few slices of ginger in the morning in summer can basically say goodbye to colds and so on.

After taking a shower, put on the clean clothes washed yesterday, wash the changed clothes in clean water, put them on the branches propped up from the medicinal betel, carry the medicine basket on his back, and greet Xiaobai, who has already had breakfast, to prepare Going down the mountain to the state capital, he took out a few mint leaves from the medicinal lou and stuffed them in Xiao Bai's mouth.

Xiaobai eats half-cooked meat, which will inevitably taste a little bit in his mouth. It will be much better if he chews it with mint leaves.

As a wolf, at first he was forced to chew grass leaves, Xiaobai expressed his grievance... But Qingzhu insisted, Xiaobai's resistance was futile, so he could only try to like it.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai really likes this taste now.Well, don't doubt it, in fact wolves can also eat grass, it's just a specific grass.

When it was close to noon, Qingzhu found a place near the stream and prepared to cook lunch.

It was still three stones built into a stove, and after lighting the fire, Xiao Bai had already returned with the prey he had caught.

Qingzhu, as usual, plucked and cleaned the hair, and then set up a fire to roast the meat for Xiaobai, without any anxiety, and Xiaobai seized this rare opportunity to rest.

They are still walking in the depths of the mountain, although with Xiaobai, Qingzhu walked down the mountain in a straight line, without any wrongdoing, but in the past ten days, they have gone deep into the depths of Daqing Mountain after all, It is impossible to go out in a day, so there is no rush for a while.

After lunch and a short rest, Qingzhu and Xiaobai continued on their way.

In the evening, I made preparations for camping at the place where I had rested my feet. Qingzhu looked up at the sky, and sure enough, it was the same as I remembered. The clouds that day were like the legs of the sun.

After dinner, Qingzhu rested, and Xiaobai still crawled beside Qingzhu, protecting her from the wind.

The second day was the same as the previous day.

It wasn't until mid-morning on the third day (around ten o'clock in the morning) that Qingzhu finally arrived at Qingshan Town, where he hurriedly ate a bowl of braised noodles and cut three catties of cooked pork for Xiaobai.As for why Xiaobai didn't cut mutton or beef, the reason is very simple, mutton is expensive, and beef... In the farming society, things like beef can no longer be eaten with money.

Qingshan Town does not have a direct boat to the state capital, it has to go to Yongning County, and there are two boats bound for Yongning County, the morning one has already left, and the afternoon one will take two or three hours, and the boat is easy to be seen She realized that she didn't want Huo Yiming to see it, otherwise there would be some twists and turns, and it would be troublesome.

Qingzhu directly hired a carriage in the town and went straight to the county seat.The carriage was not as fast as the boat, but it only took more than an hour to arrive at the Yongning County Wharf.

It's just that when taking Xiaobai on board, there were some troubles.

The owner of the ship refused to let Qingzhu take Xiaobai on board no matter what, the reason was that he was afraid of frightening the people on board, and even more afraid that Xiaobai would suddenly violently attack and hurt others. Can't hide it.

Even if others see it as a dog, it is still a very ferocious dog.

"Boss, how about this? I'll rent your boat with money, and you can let me bring Xiaobai with you." Qingzhu had no choice but to throw money at others.

Who knows that the boat owner is a very principled person, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no, what should I do with so many guests on board? My old Jiangtou is going to run on the Qingchuan River, but it can't be for your money. , Offended so many parents who eat and drink.”

"It's not that they got off the boat, they were still sitting on the boat, but I paid the boat money together, just let me take Xiaobai with me." Qingzhu's voice was pleading.

"No, no, no, look, there are women and children on my boat, you big dog, you really can't take it on board." Lao Jiang, the owner of the boat, still shook his head.

"Can I tie Xiaobai up? Please, boss, I'm really in a hurry and must go to Ningzhou Mansion." Qingzhu said, taking out a bandage and preparing to tie Xiaobai.

"You can't tie it up, what if you don't hold it firmly and let it run away? This boat is no different than other things, but walking on Heping Road is different." Old Jiangtou was still as stubborn as a stone.

"Then what should I do, Boss, I really have to rush to Ningzhou Mansion, please, can you help me?" Facing such a ship owner who can't get in, Qing Zhu almost cried.

"No, little girl. If you want to take the boat, of course I welcome it. There is no reason to push the guests away, but if you want to take this dog with you, I can only say sorry to you. Otherwise, you Let your dog stay at home? How about I wait for you for a quarter of an hour before sailing?" Old Jiang pointed to Xiaobai and said.

"Boss, I'm not from the county, and besides, I can't leave Xiaobai behind..." Qingzhu looked at old man Jiang weakly, feeling like crying without tears.

Xiaobai, who had been standing beside him pretending to be obedient, became a little impatient. He took a few steps forward, jumped into the Qingchuan River, swam around quickly, and then watched the green bamboo whine.

"Xiaobai, it's not allowed. It's too far to go to Fucheng, you can't swim there. Besides, even if you can swim there, I can't bear it..." Qingzhu looked at Xiaobai, both moved and incredulous said with a heartache.

"Hey, little girl, your dog is really intelligent. How about you tie a rope to your dog and let it swim behind the boat, and it will save a lot of effort if it is carried by the boat. "Old Jiangtou looked at Xiaobai in amazement, and said to Qingzhu with a flash of inspiration.

Before Qingzhu could answer, a childish voice came from the boat: "Or, my sister, you can find a bigger bamboo basket, put this big dog in the bamboo basket, and hang it on the side of the boat."

"This is a good idea, what do you think, little girl? Why don't you go and buy a bamboo basket? There are bamboo baskets sold at the wharf, and I have hemp rope on board. Although it will make your big dog suffer a little, it won't always You can go to Ningzhou Mansion without frightening the children and women, what do you think?" Old Jiang said, clapping his hands.

"Thank you, but I'll think of a way..." Qing Zhu lowered her head and said in a somewhat depressed voice.

"Little girl, think carefully. If you change to another boatman, you may not be able to make such a concession. I also want to help you because you are really anxious. If you want me to say, let it be, this man It is impossible for a lifetime to not be wronged at all, let alone a dog? You are right." Looking at Qingzhu's appearance, Old Jiangtou couldn't bear it, and persuaded him.

"Thank you, Boss, but it's not necessary, I'll think of another way." Qingzhu said with a weak smile at Old Jiangtou.

"Little girl, don't be like this, I feel really uncomfortable when you are like this..." Old Jiangtou looked at Qingzhu's appearance, feeling a little sorry.

"It's okay, I understand, you have your principles, thank you. But Xiaobai is like my family, if I don't let him be wronged, I will try my best not to wrong him." Qingzhu said, and beckoned at Xiaobai He waved and said, "Xiaobai, come here."

Xiaobai swam to the shore, shook off the water on his body, walked to the side of Qingzhu, bit his head a little bit aggrieved, and rubbed Qingzhu's leg through his dress.

"Xiaobai, it's not your fault, be good." Qingzhu knelt down, patted Xiaobai's head, and comforted him softly.

Xiaobai let out a few low whines, like a child who has done something wrong.

Qingzhu hugged Xiaobai's head, rubbed his face against Xiaobai, a silent tear fell into Xiaobai's hair, making Xiaobai's body tremble.

"Okay, Xiaobai, it's okay, it's okay, relax a little bit." Qing Zhu, who was hugging Xiaobai, felt the subtle changes in Xiaobai, and was afraid that his eyes would show a fierce light, so he quickly comforted his neck and comforted him.

"Woooo..."

Xiao Bai whined twice more, and then relaxed his body.

"Little girl, why don't you go ask the cargo ship at the wharf over there to see if there is any one going to Ningzhou Prefecture. It's just... the cargo ship is full of men, it may be inconvenient for you as a little girl..." Old Jiang Looking at Qingzhu, he said hesitantly.

"Cargo ship? Ha, that's right, why did I forget the cargo ship, thank you, boss." Qingzhu was slightly taken aback, and then a happy smile appeared on his face. After he quickly thanked the boss, he greeted Xiaobai and walked to the pier next to him. .

Qingzhu was lucky, there was a cargo ship being loaded at the cargo dock.

"Excuse me, is this ship going to Ningzhou Prefecture?" Seeing a man who looked like a foreman beside the gangway of the cargo ship, Qing Zhu walked over and asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to Ningzhou Mansion, what's the matter, little girl?" The foreman looked at Qingzhu with a look on his face, but he didn't speak rudely at all, and asked.

"Well, I want to ask, can you help me go to Ningzhou Prefecture? Of course, I will pay for the boat." Qingzhu looked at the foreman, with some pleading on his face.

"Take you to Ningzhou Mansion? Isn't there a special passenger boat at the pier over there? It hasn't opened yet." The foreman frowned slightly, pointing to the pier next to him and said.

"I want to take Xiaobai with me, but the boat boss won't let me go up..." Qingzhu pointed to Xiaobai and said.

"That's it...but I can't be the master..." The foreman showed a puzzled face, but seeing Qingzhu's expectant expression, he couldn't say anything about the rejection, and finally said: "How about I help you ask?" Just ask……"

"That's great! Thank you!" Qingzhu was overjoyed when she heard the foreman's words, and quickly thanked her.

"You're welcome, but I can't guarantee that people will agree." The foreman smiled at Qingzhu with some embarrassment, then turned his head and shouted at the cargo ship.

"Fu manages things, Fu manages things..."
