To the west of Qinghu Town, there is an ancient forest.

The roots of the tree are wrapped around, more than three feet above the ground, and the bottom is full of dead branches and leaves. It is better in winter, but in summer it will be a bad smell. There are few people here, and even in the cold winter, you can see many birds building nests here.

Hu Zi carried the cloth bag on his body and was ready to climb the roots of the tree with his hands and feet. As a result, he suddenly hung up in the air. He was so scared that he hurriedly hugged the cloth bag full of herbs and stared at Mo Li blankly.

"People are in the forest?"

The child nodded quickly.

Dr. Mo frowned. It was wet and cold. It was not a good place to recuperate.

"There are so many empty houses in the town, why don't you find one but hide in such a place?" Mo Li felt it was strange.

It is not easy for ordinary people to enter the forest. What's more, he is a seriously ill person. He has worked so hard to hide here. Is there any secret?

Hu Zi stammered: "Uncle Lin said the town is dangerous and he can't wait."

Mo Li guessed that the child didn't know much, so he bypassed the topic and signaled to the forest: "Which direction is it?"

Hu Zi pointed forward, then watched Mo Li easily jump to the high place with envy.

Although these tree roots are connected to each other, they are barely considered a path. However, because of snow and ice, they are very slippery when they are grabbed. Hu Zi has been running around here since he was a child, and then he mastered some tricks so that he would not fall to the ground. With his small arms and legs, he could not jump over the gap with the large gap, so he could only hold the tree roots and climb slowly.

Now that someone is holding it in his hand, I see Meng Qi's shoulder not moving, and she has passed the most difficult place to walk lightly, and her eyes are wide open.

"This child is so brave." Meng Qi chuckled.

Other children were either scared to death or shouted and jumped excitedly, but Hu Zi was still in the mood to observe how they left.

"If you don't have the courage, how dare you go to the temple of the Holy Lotus Altar to steal herbs?" Mo Li didn't find it strange.

Stealing herbs seems easy, but people with reckless temperament will definitely not be able to do it.

Hu Zi's face turned red, and he walked for a while, and he quickly called for a stop.

“It’s there.”

It was an ancient tree that was about to die. It seemed that because the trunk was empty, it could not support the weight of the crown in the end. The entire tree body was tilted on the branches of several nearby trees.

Hu Zi pulled open the blocked dry vines, revealing a tree hole of the size of a child.

“…”

Mo Li didn't know what to say, but she should say that she was hidden tightly. Hu Zi was young and would not hide her traces. If someone wanted to find her, it would be unsafe. If she wanted to hide her, she would have squatted into a tree hole, and she would have almost dug three feet into the ground.

Even if you are afraid of the Holy Lotus Altar, the people at the Holy Lotus Altar are not gods. There are so many empty houses in Qinghu Town, it is not difficult to find one to hide it.

Hu Zi happily hugged the cloth bag and went into the hole. Mo Li said helplessly to Meng Qi: "You are waiting for me outside for a while."

After saying that, he bent down and entered the tree hole. Because the hole was too short, he was so squeezed that he could only use the bone shrinkage skills for the time being.

What surprised Mo Li was that only the small piece of narrowness entered, the tree hole was very deep, and she could barely straighten her waist. After standing still, Mo Li looked carefully and found that this was not only the empty ancient wood trunk, but also the gap formed by it on the branches of other trees, which cleverly formed a nearly closed space.

There were some gaps in the side walls, all of which were stuffed inside the cotton bark.

Two simple wooden boards formed a bed, and someone slept on it, wrapped in a quilt and coughed constantly.

"Uncle Lin!" Hu Zi reached out to shake the person on the bed. Seeing that the man had no reaction, he turned to look at Mo Li at a loss.

Mo Li walked over and looked at the patient's face first.

“He is having a fever.”

The lips are white and the forehead is red.

"Is there any clean water?" Mo Li asked.

Hu Zi nodded, ran to the corner of the tree hole to get a jar, and then went to get a bowl.

After pouring the water into the bowl, Hu Zi realized something was wrong and hurriedly said, "The water is cold, I'll go find firewood to make a fire."

Mo Li reached out to stop him, frowned and asked, "The forest is full of wet wood, where are you looking for firewood?"

"Town, town..."

"Sit and don't move." Mo Li shook her head and took the bowl from Hu Zi's hand, "Has this water been boiled? Is it raw water?"

"No, it's cooked, it's just cold."

Mo Li looked carefully at the water in the bowl and smelled it again. He found that it did not look like uncooked water. The water was also very clear and not turbid.

Hu Ziqi said awkwardly: "We originally had charcoal, but it was too cold and we had to boil medicine. We used it up a day after we arrived. I went to the abandoned houses in the town to find some unnecessary tables and stools to burn them... Huh?"

The bowl in Mo Li's hand was steaming.

Although the internal strength has not been fully restored, drying clothes is not a problem. It is not difficult to warm a bowl of water. It is not that the water boils instantly, and it is enough to drink it when it is hot enough.

When the water was hot, Dr. Mo helped the person up and skillfully poured a bowl of water in.

"Cough cough." After drinking the water, the man opened his eyes in confusion.

Mo Li pondered and ignored him.

The man had a beard and his hair was messy, and he could hardly see his true face. When Mo Li put his veins, he found that this man was not old and had practiced martial arts. Such superficial skills were similar to Mo Li.

"He has a good foundation, but he has suffered some losses recently. He is very cold and is hungry because of the cold?" Mo Li just asked casually, without waiting for Hu Zi to answer, and continued, "The disease is urgent and fierce. You can't use strong medicine. You can take me the herbs today."

Hu Zi handed over the cloth bag.

The bearded man woke up only then. He coughed violently, struggling to push the tiger to the side.

"Who are you?" The bearded man was full of vigilance.

"I'm a doctor."

The mo carp picked up herbs without raising her head.

"Where did the doctor come from Qinghu Town?" The bearded man was very anxious. He looked at Huzi with blame and said, "Isn't you telling you that it's dangerous, don't bring outsiders here, why don't you listen?"

Hu Zi lowered his head and cried, "But Uncle Lin, you are very ill, I have no choice..."

The bearded man wanted to say something else, but Mo Li raised his hand and pressed it back to the bed. He stared at him, but found that he was so dizzy that he was so sick that he had no strength at all.

"There is no firewood and charcoal in this tree hole, and you can't even drink a sip of hot water. If you want to die, you can die alone, and don't drag the child with you."

Mo Li said it very rudely. He didn't like to mess around with patients.

This man couldn't live in a good house and insisted on hiding in a tree hole and getting frozen. He was so sick that he saw strangers looking very nervous next to his child. Mo Li didn't need to think about it carefully, and he knew that they were hiding their identities.

As he said that, he pulled out a green jade pendant from Hu Zi's neck. The jade pendant was as gentle as water, and there was a dragon carved on it.

Lin Dou gasped and said, "As soon as this child landed, he fled with us, from Taijing to Bazhou, and finally to Pingzhou. There were so many guards and retainers, and I was the only one left, hiding in Qinghu Town and breathing. As a result... Alas, now I am going to die too. Poor this child knows nothing. Qi Chao's wanted to him has never stopped. National Master, I am desperate, please..."

"Who said you are about to die?" Mo Li suddenly interrupted the sentiment of the man with affection, waved his hand to throw the processed herbs into an empty clay pot, and said disdainfully, "You are just a little sick. As long as you take the medicine peacefully, you will not die."

Meng Qi couldn't bear it, so he laughed directly.

Lin Dou's eyes were straight, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. His throat was itchy and he had another violent cough.

He grabbed Hu Zi's hand and looked at Meng Qi unwillingly.

This time, before Meng Qi spoke, Mo Li said coldly: "I am a doctor and I am only responsible for treating the disease. I am not interested in who you are. When your illness is cured, you can take your child out of Qinghu Town and find another place to live. At that time, you want to tell the child whether he is a doctor or not, he hopes that he will live like an ordinary person in his life, it is your business."

"But... the thief Lu Zhang planned to usurp the throne, burned the imperial city and killed the royal family..."

"Many years ago, the late emperor you mentioned was like a minister of the Chen Dynasty, but he rebelled." Meng Qi said slowly, "Those who steal the hooks will be killed, and those who steal the country will be the princes. I think you understand this principle."

Lin Dou's eyes were full of disappointment. He wanted to say something, but in the end he let go of Hu Zi's hand.

Mo Li pulled some dry vines casually, used internal force to dry the moisture inside, and then called Hu Zi to go out and boil medicine for Lin Dou.

The child hesitated and went outside the tree hole, picked up the jade pendant on his neck and said to Mo Li, "Doctor, I have no money, this one is the only one. If you don't dislike it..."

"No need, you get the herbs yourself, and you burn the fire, which won't cost me my money."

Mo Li was very fond of this patient who took the initiative to take the medical treatment. He took out a few more pills and told Hu Zi to swallow them every day.

"Your illness is not serious, but I am afraid that you will fall into the root of the disease, so I will take some medicine. You can't take your Uncle Lin's medicine, do you know?"

Hu Zi nodded obediently.

Mo Li looked at the child and talked about Prince Zhaohua from the former Chu. He naturally thought of Tang Xiaotang at home.

Doctor Mo reached out and touched Hu Zi's head. Sure enough, he saw a mole on the child's earlobe. It was supposed to be the reason for his mistake. The Jinyi Wei Kunqi, who pretended to be a guest, actually regarded Tang Xiaotang as a remnant of the previous dynasty who was on the run, and was also blind.

Can a top master like Qin Lu truly live in seclusion in the mountains? A top master must pursue fame and fortune? He will never do anything without fame and fortune. As long as he hides his name, he will definitely protect who he is protecting?

Just like the treasures of Lao Shizi in the previous dynasty, County Magistrate Xue went to a remote countryside to become an official because he knew the secret of the treasure. So he deliberately disappeared from others' eyes?

It's a mess!

Mo Li thought to himself, could this be what the teacher calls mediocre stupid disciples? Judging a gentleman's ambition with a villain's heart? In their logic, everyone has a purpose in doing things.

If there is no purpose, they will fabricate a purpose for you and agree with it.

"... Fortunately, Kun Qi's information did not spread and did not cause trouble for your teacher."

Meng Qi was elusive and saw Hu Zi leaving, he appeared behind Mo Li.

"My junior brother is an ordinary child, and his parents and relatives are from Zhushan County. I know who he is. How could he be a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty? Kun Qi would have misunderstood, one is because of my teacher, and the other is that the child also has a mole on his earlobe. How big can a mole be? Even with my eyesight, I didn't look at it specifically, but I didn't find this feature on the earlobe of Hu Zi."
