17. As if nothing happened
Mo Li did not go directly to track Liu Chang and others. He left the town and went to Maxian County without hesitation.
——Liu Chang's illness was dangerous, and the doctors in Xiaohe Town must be helpless. The soldiers could only send people to the county town.
No matter what the reason is, if something happened to Shangguan, it is difficult for the military officer to explain when he returns, so he can only find a local yamen, which can not only hold the Chen family accountable, but also allow Liu Chang to receive timely treatment.
However, the parents of Ma County are a county magistrate who keeps his hands on the court. He ignores official duties all day long and does not go to the yamen. Now when seeing such hot potatoes, he must be pretending to be deaf and dumb, and does not touch both hands.
Mo Li remembered the map of Pingzhou in his mind. He arrived at the county town of Ma County just after noon. The two soldiers guarding the gate were gambled for dice without any worries and were lazy. Judging from their posture, Mo Li knew that Liu Chang and others had not arrived yet. He had not entered the city gate and walked a long way along the city wall, and then looked around without anyone.
Climb the wall.
The city walls in Ma County are very high, not to prevent bandits, but to block the wind.
Ma County is at the northernmost end of Pingzhou, and the terrain happens to be a valley gap. After winter every year, there will be four months of northwest wind here, and people with poor bones cannot stand it. From the past, no one was willing to come here to work. Now the magistrate of Ma County is still convicted and demoted here.
The city walls block the wind, and many houses are built next to the base of the wall.
The mo carp fell on a row of blue tiles. He sorted out the robe he wore outside and quietly landed in the alley.
When there is nothing to do in winter, the streets of Ma County are always empty, and Mo Li can't even ask someone for directions. He circled around for three whole lots before he discovered the market.
Speaking of medicine shops, most of them are next to the Chenghuang Temple or market.
Because there are many people here, the road is easy to walk.
Zhushan County is not an exception, because the county town is too small and there is no decent market. On the first day of every month, the open space in front of the county government can be set up, and Doctor Mo's medicine shop is barely considered to be the edge of the market.
This is different in Maxian County. There are big shops nearby. In the cold weather, you can see several green cloth sedans parked at the entrance of the cloth shop and the silver building, but there were no people. The porter carrying the sedan must have shrank and sheltered the wind.
The banners of the medicine shop sway in the wind.
Mo Li pushed open the door, and a strong smell of herbs rushed towards her.
Behind the counter, an old man in a brown cotton robe was taking medicine with his apprentice, and he didn't look back when he heard the door ringing.
The person who was doing odd jobs came over quickly. He originally wanted to help ask the customer and then take off the snow on his body. But Mo Li was dressed in this way and was a little stunned. Whoever went out in Ma County was not a thick cotton jacket and a big cloak, and he wanted to wrap it from top to bottom. This person seemed to have been staying in the house and was not from outside at all.
"Are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?"
Mo Li nodded to Zapu and said softly: "Look for someone."
After saying that, without waiting for the other party to react, Dr. Mo shouted directly at the old man's back: "Doctor He."
Doctor He was looking at whether the amount of medicine his apprentice was accurately taken. When he heard the greeting, he looked back in confusion, and an unexpected expression suddenly appeared on his face. He hurriedly held the wooden ladder down and said in surprise: "Doctor Mo? In this cold winter, why did you arrive in Ma County?"
As he said that, he immediately ordered the servant to pour hot tea and called the disciples behind him to pick up Mo Li's luggage.
Mo Li didn't have a few clothes in her luggage, mainly medicine boxes.
Dr. He welcomed the person into the back hall and then asked in detail: "I heard that the road to Jimao Mountain in Jiguan Mountain was blocked by heavy snow. Dr. Mo was blocked outside by wind and snow after he came to the hospital?"
Mo Li has also treated patients outside Zhushan County. Although he had never been to Ma County, he knew Doctor He. He heard Doctor He think so, but he did not correct it and agreed with the situation.
"Hey, this is really!" Dr. He kept sighing, "This year, this is so evil, it turns out that the old saying is right!"
Mo Li paused with the teacup hand and said in confusion: "What does Doctor Who means?"
"Why, you haven't heard of it yet?" Dr. He looked at Mo Li in surprise, and then thought that the other party was good at medical skills at a young age. He either went up the mountain to collect herbs or went out for a clinic on weekdays. He was not as leisurely as himself. In addition, the news about Zhushan County was blocked, Mo Li might really not know this big news.
Doctor He leaned closer and whispered: "The news from Pingzhou Prefecture said that a gold mine was found in the mountains in the south. The local powerful aristocratic clan secretly concealed it and dug it privately. This fall, the matter was exposed, and this is a charge of beheading! The head of the family killed all the slaves who started the mine and landed all the traces in the mountains. He was determined not to admit it, but someone saw red light in the mountains that night, and later said that the haunted thing was haunted. The old saying goes, if the snow falls too much, it will be injustice!"
Mo Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word "mining".
Then he felt that it was not that coincidental that it was impossible for every mountain to have dragon veins - there is Jimao Mountain, but Jiguan Mountain does not, right?
"Not to mention this, I have one more thing to do when I come here." Mo Li suppressed the idea of asking about Pingzhou mines because there was not much time left. Although he used his light skills to rush on the road, Xiaohe Town was not far from Maxian County, and Liu Chang and others were about to arrive at the county town soon.
"Oh? Doctor Mo has something to do, I can help you..."
"No, I'm actually here to help Dr. He."
Mo Li omitted the grudge between Mrs. Xue and Liu Chang, and said that he passed by Xiaohe Town and saw a sixth-rank military officer being carried out from a mansion.
"I happened to stand close and see it really well. The man suffered a collision in his chest. He originally only hurt his internal organs and needed good cultivation. But after being injured, he was angry and anxious, as if adding fuel to the fire, and it was out of control."
Dr. He turned pale after hearing this. He was the best doctor in Ma County, and a sixth-rank official who might die at any time was about to come to him!
Mo Li sighed. In fact, even in the area of Ma County, even if Doctor He cannot cure Liu Chang, it will not be a problem. However, Mrs. Xue did not know Doctor He and did not know that Doctor He had encountered a disaster in his early years. Doctor He treated an old lady, but the other party was terminally ill and had no cure. The official was furious and directly imprisoned all the doctors who had visited the doctor.
Doctor He, who had finally escaped his life, has avoided the dying family members of the government from now on, for fear of being unable to do so.
"Doctor He doesn't need to be panic. I'm here for this." Mo Li looked at Dr. He and hinted, "If the heart meridian is damaged, you can still endure it for another day or two. He prescribed a prescription and told the patient not to get angry."
Doctor He calmed down and was still panicked.
Mo Li followed the trend and said, "If Doctor He doesn't dislike me, I would like to be a doctor in the pharmacy for the time being."
Doctor He was overjoyed, and then he watched Mo Li look for a piece of indigo from his bag and paint on his face.
"This is?"
"If Xiaohe Town meets you once, if you are recognized and get rid of it, it will be troublesome."
Mo Li thickened his eyebrows, found some black powder, added to the facial fat to make his face blur, and his skin became rough and slightly dark. He asked Dr. He for a thick cotton jacket to wear, and also filled a few cloth towels on his waist and abdomen. When he stood up, his figure changed, and he hunched his back slightly, and in a blink of an eye it seemed to have changed.
Doctor He was stunned and asked repeatedly if this was the legendary disguise technique?
"How can a trick be said to be a disguise?" Mo Li took Doctor He's wolf-skin hat and put it on. He would wear a lot in winter. If he deliberately lowered his head, he would not be able to see the other person's appearance clearly.
Suddenly there was a noise outside.
"Where is the doctor? Where is the doctor here? Come out quickly!"
"...so fast?" Dr. He took a breath of air conditioning, gritted his teeth and went out.
The soldiers found a sedan chair from somewhere, and now they were holding people in the door. Liu Chang's face looked like gold paper, and there was bloodshot on the corner of his mouth, looking like he was dying.
Dr. He was so shocked that his whole body was stiff. After seeing the patient's face, his apprentices secretly complained that something was wrong and did not dare to step forward.
"The back hall, go to the back hall!" Doctor He came to his senses and opened his mouth to find a reason, "No matter how strict the person is here, go to the back hall!"
The soldiers pressed their swords and carried the people into the back hall without leaving each other.
So many people poured into the pharmacy, and it was a mess. When the servant saw Mo Li, he didn't realize who this person was.
Doctor He sideways blocked part of the Bing Ding's gaze, giving Mo Li a chance to touch Liu Chang's other hand.
Mo Li took the lower vein and found that Liu Chang was depressed in his heart on weekdays, which hurt his liver and lungs. Now it was a joint attack, which was even more dangerous than expected. In fact, Mo Li only hit Liu Chang's nose bridge, which was not hindered from his life, and Chen Chong would not kill people. Now, it was a coincidence, but there was a trace of wrongness.
Mo Li mixed up with Liu Chang's left hand again and continued to take the pulse.
——There was actually a spiritual power in Liu Chang’s body that was repairing the damaged heart veins.
This spiritual power is very weak, as if it is lurking in the tendons and veins, and will be stimulated only when it encounters danger.
Mo Li put down her hand in a complicated mood. Liu Chang may have taken a spiritual medicine, but he still has spirituality. However, as a mortal, he cannot completely use it. He only obtained a small part of the spiritual medicine essence.
It is not easy to produce spiritual plants and trees! I was eaten like this, and Mo Li felt very distressed.
However, although Liu Chang is rude, he will not die if he is guilty. Since this is the case, whether to live or die is still determined by heaven!
Mo Li quietly retreated and found paper to write a prescription. Doctor He also bit the bullet and prescribed the prescription and ordered the medicine to be taken immediately. The soldiers carried a knife and asked Doctor He to decoct the medicine himself. The people in the pharmacy shop were very dissatisfied and started arguing with them. Doctor He took the opportunity to change the prescription with Mo Li and took the medicine according to the prescription.
After drinking the soup, Liu Chang woke up leisurely.
Dr. He said with a stern face that he was jealous, and repeatedly emphasized that he should not get angry.
When Liu Chang thought of what happened today, his face turned pale - as soon as he thought about it, his heart would be cramped.
"Don't be angry if you see it!" Doctor He sighed at the effectiveness of the prescription, while looking at Liu Chang, and couldn't help asking, "What precious medicinal materials have this official taken? For example, molded ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum..."
After all, the pulse is so obvious that Dr. He can also discover it.
Liu Chang was chasing his life at this moment and dared not hide it. He said casually: "A month ago, I got lost in the mountains and lacked food. When I was digging stems and eating them, I seemed to have eaten some Polygonatum."
Dr. He felt a little relieved and felt that Liu Chang would not die.
Liu Chang thought so himself. The soldiers were happy to see that he had a pale face and got out of bed.
——As long as Liu Chang returns to the army alive, the subsequent events have nothing to do with them. Regardless of whether he has any root cause or whether the medicine is good or not.
Liu Chang was unwilling to hear his subordinates urging him to go back, but when he thought of this, he felt stuffy in his chest and could only say hatefully: "Let's spare this bitch, let's go back to Silang Mountain."
After the person left, Dr. He entered the back hall and saw Mo Li who had recovered his original appearance, he wanted to speak but stopped.
"Doctor He, what's wrong?"
"I heard them mention Silang Mountain." Dr. He said in a low voice, "That's a place where there is a gold mine and a haunted place in the rumor!"
