Mo Li did not directly follow Liu Chang and others. He left the town and went to Ma County without hesitation.
-Liu Chang's condition is dangerous, the doctors in Xiaohe Town must be helpless, and those soldiers can only send people to the county seat.
No matter what the reason is, now that something happened to Shangguan, it is difficult for the soldiers to go back to explain, so they can only find the local yamen, so that the Chen family can be held accountable, and Liu Chang can be treated in time.
However, this parental official in Ma County was an idle magistrate, ignoring official duties all day long and not going to the government office. Now that he saw this hot potato, he must be pretending to be deaf and mute and not touching his hands.
Mo Li memorized the map of Pingzhou in his mind, and he arrived at the county seat of Ma County just after noon. The two guards at the gate were idle and had nothing to gamble on dice. Looking at their posture, Mo Li knew that Liu Chang and others hadn't come yet. He didn't enter the city gate. He walked a long way along the city gate, and then looked around for no one.
Climb the wall.
The city walls of Ma County are very high, not to guard against mountain bandits, but to block the wind.
Ma County is at the northernmost tip of Pingzhou, and the terrain happens to be a gap in the mountains. After the winter every year, the northwest wind blows here for four months, and people with weak bones can't stand it. Since the previous dynasty, no one has been willing to come here to serve, and the magistrate of Ma County is still convicted and demoted here.
The city walls were protected from the wind, and many houses were built next to the walls.
The ink carp landed on a row of blue tiles, he straightened the robe he was wearing outside, and quietly landed in the alley.
When there was nothing to do in winter, the streets of Ma County were always empty. Mo Li couldn't find someone to ask for directions. He walked around three times before he found the market.
When it comes to medicine shops, most of them are next to the City God Temple or the market.
Because there are many people here, the road is easy to walk.
Zhushan County is not an exception, because the county seat is too small, and there is no decent market. On the first day of each month, the open space in front of the county office can be used for stalls. Doctor Mo’s pharmacy is barely on the edge of the market.
This is different in Ma County. There are big shops on a nearby street. On a cold day, you can still see a few blue-cloth sedan chairs parked at the door of Buzhuang and Yinlou, but no one is seen. The porter carrying the sedan chairs must be there. Where to hide from the wind.
The banner of the drugstore swayed in the wind.
The ink carp opened the door, and a strong herbal smell rushed towards him.
Behind the counter, an old gentleman in a brown cotton robe was taking medicine with his apprentice, and he didn't turn back when he heard the door slam.
The clerk who ran the hall came over quickly. He was originally going to help the guest, and then help the guest to remove the snow from his body. But Mo Li was so dressed up that he was a little stunned. No one in Ma County went out without a thick padded jacket and a big cloak. He could not wait to wrap it from top to bottom.
"Are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?"
Mo Li nodded to the servant and said softly, "Find someone."
After speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, Doctor Mo called directly at the old gentleman's back, "Doctor He."
Doctor He was checking the accuracy of his apprentice's medicine. He looked back in confusion when he heard the greeting, and a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face. He hurriedly helped the wooden ladder down, and said in surprise, "Doctor Mo? It's the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month. How did you get to Ma County?"
After speaking, he immediately called the servants to pour hot tea, and called the apprentice behind to pick up Mo carp's luggage.
There are few clothes in Mo carp's luggage, mainly the medicine box.
Dr. He welcomed the person into the back hall, and then asked in detail: "I heard that the road to Jimao Mountain in Jiguanshan was blocked by heavy snow. Dr. Mo was blocked by wind and snow after visiting the doctor?"
Mo Li has also treated patients outside Zhushan County. Although he has never been to Ma County, he knows Doctor He. Hearing Doctor He thinking so at this moment, he did not correct it and tacitly acquiesced.
"Hey, this is true!" Dr. He sighed, "This year's snow is evil, and the old saying is true!"
Mo Li held the hand of the tea cup for a while, and asked in doubt: "What does Doctor He mean by this?"
"Why, you haven't heard of it yet?" Doctor He looked at Mo Li in surprise, and then thought that the other party was very good at medicine at a young age. On weekdays, he either went up the mountain to collect medicine or went out to see a doctor. He was not as leisurely as himself, and Zhushan County The news is blocked again, and Mo Li may really not know this big news.
Doctor He leaned closer and whispered: "The news from Pingzhou Prefecture said that a gold mine was discovered in the mountains to the south, and the local noble family secretly concealed it and dug it privately. This fall, the matter was exposed, but this was The crime of beheading! The owner of that house killed all the slaves who opened the mine and buried all the traces in the mountains. The more it spreads, the worse it gets. As the old saying goes, if the snow falls too much, there will be grievances!"
When Mo Li heard the word "mining", his heart skipped a beat.
Then he felt that it was not so coincidental. It is impossible for every mountain to have a dragon vein - Jimao Mountain has it, but Jiguan Mountain does not, right
"Let's not talk about that, I have one more thing to do when I come here." Mo Li suppressed the idea of asking about the Pingzhou mine, because time was running out. Although he used Qinggong to hurry, Xiaohe Town is not far from the county seat of Ma County, and Liu Chang and others will soon arrive at the county seat.
"Oh? Doctor Mo, what's the matter, the old man can definitely help..."
"No, I'm actually here to help Doctor He."
Mo Li omitted the grievances between Mrs. Xue and Liu Chang, and only said that he passed by Xiaohe Town and saw a sixth-rank military attache being carried out of a mansion.
"I happened to be standing close, and I could see it really, really. The man suffered a blow to the chest. Originally, it only hurt his inner organs and needed to be well cultivated. But after his injury, he became furious, like adding fuel to the fire, and it was out of control. ."
Doctor He's face turned pale when he heard it. He is the best doctor in Ma County, and a sixth-rank official who may die at any time is about to come to the door!
Mo Li sighed. In fact, in this area of Ma County, even if Doctor He can't cure Liu Chang, it will be fine, but Mrs. Xue doesn't know Doctor He, and she doesn't know that Doctor He suffered a disaster in his early years - Doctor He gives An old lady was treating a disease, but the other party was terminally ill and there was no cure. The official was furious and put all the doctors who had seen the doctor in jail.
Doctor He, who finally escaped with his life, has since avoided the dying family members and people of the government.
"Doctor He doesn't need to be alarmed, I'm here for this." Mo Li looked at Dr. He and hinted, "If the heart is damaged, it can take another day or two, prescribe a prescription, and tell the patient not to It's just anger."
Doctor He calmed down, but was still flustered.
Mo Li took advantage of the situation and said, "If Doctor He doesn't dislike it, I would like to temporarily serve as a doctor in a pharmacy."
Dr. He was overjoyed, and then he blankly watched Mo Li find a piece of Qingdai from his luggage and painted on his face.
"This is?"
"The one-sided relationship of Xiaohe Town, if it is recognized, it will be troublesome."
Mo Li thickened his eyebrows, found some black powder, and added it to the face cream to make a layer of face, and the complexion immediately became rough and dark. He asked Dr. He to ask for a thick cotton jacket to wear on his body, and he also stuffed a few cloth towels around his waist and abdomen.
Doctor He was stunned, and asked repeatedly if this was the legendary disguise technique
"How can it be called a disguise technique?" Mo Li took a wolfskin hat from Doctor He and put it on. In winter, he usually wears it a lot. If he deliberately lowered his head, he might not be able to see clearly when he walked towards him. the opponent's appearance.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside.
"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor here? Come out!"
"... so fast?" Doctor He sucked in a breath of cold air, gritted his teeth, and went out.
The soldiers didn't know where to find a sedan chair, and now they helped them to enter the door. Liu Chang's face was like golden paper, bloodshot on the corner of his mouth, and he was on the verge of death.
Doctor He was so shocked that his whole body stiffened. When his disciples saw the patient's face, they secretly cried out in their hearts, and did not dare to go forward.
"The back hall, go to the back hall!" Doctor He regained his senses, and opened his mouth to find a reason, "No matter how strict this side is, there is wind, go to the back hall!"
The soldiers put their sabres in their hands and carried them into the back hall without leaving an inch.
There were so many people pouring into the pharmacy, and it was a mess. When the servant saw Mo Li, his mind didn't know who this person was.
Doctor He sideways blocked some of the soldiers' eyes, allowing Mo Li a chance to touch Liu Chang's other hand.
Mo Li took the lower pulse and found that Liu Chang was stagnant in his heart and hurt his liver and lungs on weekdays. In fact, the ink carp only hit the bridge of Liu Chang's nose, which is not a problem with his life, and Chen Zhong's one shot will not kill anyone.
Mo Li got mixed up with Liu Chang's left hand again, and continued to take the pulse.
- There is actually a spiritual force in Liu Chang's body that is repairing the damaged heart.
This spiritual power is very weak, it seems to be lurking in the muscles and veins, and it will only be stimulated when it encounters danger.
Mo Li put down his hands in a complicated mood. Liu Chang may have eaten a spiritual medicine, but he still has spirituality, but as a mortal, he can't fully use it, and only got a small part of the spiritual medicine.
Spiritual vegetation is not easy to come out! Just being eaten like this, Mo Li was very distressed.
However, although Liu Chang is rude, his sins do not lead to death. In this case, whether it is life or death is up to God!
Mo Li quietly backed away, found a paper and wrote a prescription, and Doctor He over there bit the bullet and prescribed the medicine, and ordered to get the medicine right away. The soldiers took the knife and asked Dr. He to decoct the medicine himself. The people at the drugstore were very unconvinced and quarreled with them. Dr. He took the opportunity to change the prescription with Mo Li, and took the medicine according to the prescription.
Liu Changyou woke up after drinking the soup.
Doctor He said a lot of taboos with a stern face, and repeatedly emphasized that he should not be angry.
Thinking of what happened today, Liu Chang's face turned pale - as long as he thought about it, his heart throbbed.
"See if you don't, don't get angry!" Dr. He sighed at the efficacy of this recipe, looked at Liu Chang, and couldn't help asking, "What precious medicinal herbs has this official taken? …”
After all, the pulse is so obvious that Doctor He can also find it.
Liu Chang was taking his life at the moment, didn't dare to hide it, and said casually: "A month ago, because I got lost in the mountains and lacked food, when I was digging up stems to eat, it seemed that I ate some yellow essence."
Doctor He was a little more relaxed, and felt that Liu Chang should not die.
Liu Chang himself thought so too, and the soldiers were all happy to see him walking around as if his face was pale.
- As long as Liu Chang returned to the army alive, what happened later would have nothing to do with them, whether he had the root of the disease or not, whether the medicine was good or not.
When Liu Chang heard his subordinates urging him to go back, he felt unwilling, but when he thought of this, his chest felt tight, and he could only say bitterly: "Forget this bitch for now, let's go back to Mount Shilang."
After waiting for the people to leave, Doctor He entered the back hall, and when he saw the black carp returning to its original appearance, he hesitated.
"Doctor He, what's wrong?"
"I heard them mention Mount Shilang." Doctor He said in a low voice, "That's the place where there are rumors of a gold mine and a haunted place!"
Mo Li paused for a while, and then he realized that he could not get out of the gate, and he could not go to Tianshan and Kunlun. He was afraid that he would follow Liu Chang and others to the mountain all the way.
