Chapter 234 Chapter 233
Seeing that he was about to start a fight, the clever Xiaoer hurriedly said to Mu Changlan: "Guest officer, your room is the third upstairs! The hot water is ready, so just call me if you need anything else!"

"Huh." In this way, Mu Changlan also came down a step, glanced at Shen Mu, snorted coldly, turned around and said to the attentive waiter: "Well, don't come to serve in my room without my order." , then stepped on the stairs and walked upstairs to the guest room.

Xia looked at Mu Changlan's charming back going up the stairs, and thought to herself: "That girl is so handsome, she is good-looking, and has a good figure. If one day, I can become such a great beauty."

Xiahou Jinxuan looked up and watched Mu Changlan enter the guest room upstairs, and then said to Shen Mu in a low voice: "Ah Mu, you were... a bit rude just now."

Shen Mu smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, when we men see beautiful women, it's normal to look at them a few more times! Only in this way can we satisfy the vanity of beautiful women!"

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host, the setup was successful and you got 1000 points."

"..." Xia didn't expect Shen Mu to know women so well, and she couldn't help being a little dumb, thinking: "What kind of person is this? It's getting more and more unpredictable..."

Xie Cangxing laughed and said: "Yes, what A Mu said is absolutely true. When we men see a beautiful woman, it is normal to look at it a few times!"

"..." Jiang Cheng was speechless.

Xie Cangxing rubbed his chin and said again: "Speaking of which, the girl just now has a steady pace and a long breath, she is definitely not an ordinary person."

"That's ordinary people?" Shen Mu said with a smile.

"Hahaha... Heroes see the same thing! Let's have a drink!" Xie Cangxing laughed, feeling that he and Shen Mu had hit each other very well, filled up the wine and clinked a glass.

Xiahou Jinxuan has never been in love, besides, in ancient times, marriages were never in love, even in the bridal chamber without even seeing each other.

Therefore, he does not understand these.

"..." Jiang Cheng and his junior sister had some mutual admiration, and felt that what Shen Mu said was reasonable, but this place is relatively ancient, and his thoughts are still very conservative, so he just shook his head and said: "Okay, although it is still early , but everyone didn’t sleep well last night, everyone should go to bed earlier, we have to hurry tomorrow.”

"I'm not sleepy, let's go for a walk." Shen Mu said, and walked outside.

"Wait, I'll go too." Xia also wanted to walk around the village, so she followed.

Shen Mu and Xia walked out of the inn. It was dusk at this time, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them. They felt warm, and the air was slightly humid, but very comfortable. , the green grass on both sides, the willows fluttering, and a few blue butterflies slowly flying by, there is an indescribable sense of appropriateness.

"Ah, that old man seems to be moving some heavy things. I'll go over and help him." Xia, worthy of being a chivalrous woman, saw an old man moving a heavy object, and ran over quickly.

"..." Shen Mu rolled his eyes, but followed along helplessly.

The two walked towards the old man's house, and a girl dressed in a light-colored silk dress also came over at the same time, and said to the old man, "Hey, Grandpa Gu, why are you moving such a heavy thing by yourself? Didn't you say that there is something wrong?" Call me if you want to move things?"

"...cough cough" The old man surnamed Gu covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said, "This? I heard that Aunt Zhang's son went to Mingzhou for several days. I think Xiaoyao, you must be with her." I don't have the nerve to call you for help, I'm afraid you will be tired."

Xiao Yao quickly waved her hand and said, "How can I be tired at such a young age. Go home and rest, let me deliver these things for you."

"No rush, no hurry, I can move slowly." Grandpa Gu insisted.

Xiao Yao said: "That's not okay, you forgot, the doctor just said a few days ago that your legs are not in good shape yet."

Xia stepped forward and said, "Girl, we—"

The old man and Xiao Yao looked at Shen Mu and Xia, feeling very strange, and asked, "Huh? What's the matter? You? Are you from outside the village? Are you in any trouble? My name is Zhang Yao , is a person from this village, if you have anything to do, please tell me, maybe I can help you."

Xia waved his hand and said: "No, just now we saw this old man carrying heavy objects, and we wanted to help, but we didn't expect you to be the first."

Shen Mu saw that a girl's family has such a chivalrous spirit, so he also picked up the chivalrous spirit of fighting for righteousness and said: "These things seem to be quite heavy, girl, would you like us to help?"

Zhang Yaoxi said: "Okay, it's good if someone is willing to help, thank you very much."

Grandpa Gu thanked: "Thank you."

Shen Mu secretly used spells, and quietly, the two daughters, He Xia and Zhang Yao, and Shao Qing, moved all the heavy-looking things.

Zhang Yao patted the dust off her hands, and asked the old man, "Grandpa Gu, should that be all?"

The heavy objects were placed neatly, and Grandpa Gu thanked: "Yes. Thank you so much. Without you, I would have to carry these things for a long time."

Xia Yan showed doubts, and asked strangely: "Why are there so many things to move, these are enough to open a shop."

Grandpa Gu smiled kindly: "Hehe, the girl is right, my family runs a shop."

Zhang Yao echoed: "Yes, our village is a small place, and we have to buy a lot of things from outside. Grandpa Gu's house is where we sell goods. These are the goods we just bought today."

Grandpa Gu raised his head slowly, squinted his eyes at the drowsy sky, and said to Zhang Yao, "Xiao Yao, it's getting dark, you'd better go home, don't let your mother worry."

Zhang Yao only reacted after being reminded by the old man: "Ah! Oh, it's getting dark. My husband and I? Uh, Xiao Chu and I agreed to listen to and study with her, so I'll go there first!"

Zhang Yao said that she wanted to listen to the book and learn characters, so she left in a hurry.

Shen Mu looked at Zhang Yao leaving in a hurry, and said with a faint smile, "This girl has a hot temper."

"Hehe..." Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "She is the best child in our village. Just like what Xiaoyao said just now, most of the food, clothing and supplies here have to be bought from outside. Fortunately, the scenery in the village is pretty good, and the big households nearby often come here for sightseeing, and the villagers can take advantage of it to sell some mountain products. I am old and my legs and feet are inconvenient, and Xiaoyao can help me a lot. "

Xia smiled and said, "Hee, this girl is a good person."

"Hmm..." Grandpa Gu nodded slightly, then sighed softly, "It's a pity..."

"...what a pity?" Xia asked with a puzzled face, blinking her eyes.

"Oh, it's nothing." Grandpa Gu's eyes flickered, he waved his hands quickly, then looked down, there was an old book at his feet, and said lightly, "Huh? Xiaoyao, why did you forget the book here? .”

Xia bent down and picked up the very old book that fell on the floor, "This? This book is so old!"

"Wait for me to take a look." Shen Mu took the book in Xia's hand, and said slowly: "This book is "Shuowen Jiezi", which is an introductory book for schoolchildren to learn to read and write. It was written by Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he..."

Xia, who has been walking in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, thought that Shen Mu underestimated him, so he said angrily: "Stop! I still know these words! Anyway, just send this book to Miss Zhang. Then she will be here now. Where is it?"

Grandpa Gu lowered his head and thought for a while, then pointed to the wooden bridge over the small river not far away and said, "It's probably at Mr. Yue's place. Walk along the wooden bridge. The room behind the blacksmith's shop is Mr. Yue's school. gone."

Xia followed the direction Grandpa Gu was pointing at, looked around, nodded and said, "Understood, we'll send her there."

Shen Mu was idle and had nothing to do, and walked alone in the small village, which was also a walk, so let's just accompany this little girl around.

The two came not far from the school, and saw a young man in a blue robe with the appearance of a scholar, and said to the students in the school: "You must memorize today's class carefully when you go back. Remember, I will take your test tomorrow. Okay." Now, let’s all go back, be careful on the road.”

And Zhang Yao was standing outside the wooden window outside the school. A little girl with a schoolbag on her waist walked up to Zhang Yao and asked in a childish voice: "Sister Zhang, you come to listen to the teacher's lectures every day, why don't you just come here?" What about school?"

"This?" Zhang Yao blushed, and said with a smile: "Sister has a lot of things to do. Well, since school is over, you should go home quickly, don't play around on the road, or your mother will scold you again gone."

"My mother is not willing to scold me, hee hee. Then I'll go home first, see you, sister Zhang." The little girl lifted the schoolbag on her waist, waved to Zhang Yao with a smile, and took small steps, along the way. Walking along the gravel path, he jumped away.

"Hehe, you little naughty ghost." Zhang Yao shook her head and smiled, walked towards the teacher Yue Mingchen, and said, "Sir, you have worked hard."

Yue Mingchen waved his hands and said, "But talk about it, why bother? Besides, Miss Zhang has also helped Yuemou a lot, Yuemou is very grateful."

Zhang Yaomian sighed and said, "Sir, please don't say that, I am very happy that I can help you."

Yue Mingchen bowed deeply and said, "...Thank you, Yue."

Xia and Shen Mu took the old book that Zhang Yao had dropped, stepped forward and said, "Miss Zhang."

"It's you?" Zhang Yao recognized the two, and asked hesitantly, "Why, is there anything I can help you with?"

Xia lightly waved her little hand and said, "No, we're here to give you something. Is this book yours? It just fell over there."

Seeing the old book in Xia's hand, Zhang Yao said with joy in her eyes, "Ah! It's indeed mine!"

When Yue Mingchen saw this book, he asked suspiciously, "This book? Is it the "Shuowen Jiezi" that I gave to Miss Zhang?"

Zhang Yao blushed slightly, nodded and said: "Yes. I always cherish the things that Mr. Mister gives me."

"..." Yue Mingchen felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "It's getting late, Yue is going home first, let's say goodbye."

After Yue Mingchen left, "Oh..." Zhang Yao sighed softly, then thanked Shen Mu and Xia and said, "By the way, I forgot to thank you both."

Shen Mu waved his hand and said, "It's just a small effort. Who was that just now?"

Zhang Yao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Oh, that is the gentleman from our village. He just moved from another place last year and opened a school in our village after that. This book is also given to me by him? Uh, anyway, thank you."

Xia smiled and said, "Hey, you're welcome, we haven't done anything special."

Zhang Yao asked: "It seems that the two of you don't look like locals, but you passed by here from a distance?"

Shen Mu said: "Mingzhou."

Zhang Yao looked suspicious and said, "Ah, you are from Mingzhou? It's so far away."

In Zhang Yao's eyes, Mingzhou is indeed far away from here, but in Shen Mu's eyes, Mingzhou is only a blink of an eye away, and he just said indifferently: Well, it's okay.Rest in the village for one night today, and continue on the road tomorrow.

Zhang Yao said: "I have never been out of the village since I was a child. I heard that there are famous doctors in the nearby towns, but is it true?"

In terms of medical skills, Shen Mu is much better than famous doctors in the secular world, but he didn't want to expose his identity and arouse more suspicion, so he didn't say anything.

Xia looked at Zhang Yao's delicate figure, with doubts in her eyes, and said in her heart, "Why is the famous doctor asking about this?"

At this time, a middle-aged woman in a coarse cloth came over staggeringly and shouted to Zhang Yao: "Xiao Yao..."

"Mother, I want to go to the town..." Zhang Yao looked distressed.

"Hey, mother knows, but we don't have money to see a doctor." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mu and Xia, and asked with doubts on his face, "Who are these two?..."

"Oh, they are friends I just met." Zhang Yao said to Shen Mu and Xia, "You two, let's go back first..."

"Wait a minute, I have some taels of silver here, which should be enough." Xia didn't expect Zhang Yao to have no money to see a doctor, so she quickly took out a dozen taels of silver from her pocket.

"But... we just met for the first time, you are like this... I am so embarrassed, and my mother and I have never been to the nearby towns..."

"...What is this? When we came, we passed by there. It's very close. We'll take you there..." Xia likes to be a hero, so she wants to take Zhang Yao and her daughter to a nearby town.

And Shen Mu shook his head in his heart, he had no choice, his mission was to change Xia's fate, if anything happened to Xia, his mission would also fail, he had no choice, let's go to the town's clinic together.

It only took a moment for the group of people to enter the nearby medical clinic, and it is not uncommon for ancient people who have never left the village in their entire lives.

The medical clinic is not big. A middle-aged doctor in a gray robe saw four people, and quickly and enthusiastically seated them, knowing the general situation of the matter, and then took his pulse.

After a while, he held his beard and said to Zhang Yao: "It turns out that this girl is sick. I thought it was your mother who was unwell. She was just so young. I just checked the patient's pulse and found that her qi and blood were insufficient, and her pulse was also weak. Seriously, this girl suffers from an extremely serious heart disease.

"..." Everyone was shocked.

Zhang Yao's mother, Mrs. Zhang, burst into tears and begged: "Doctor, please save my daughter. It doesn't matter how much money you have. I will make it all together."

Dr. Li shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help. I just diagnosed Ling Qianjin and found that her pulse is much weaker than that of ordinary people. It should be due to congenital insufficiency of the heart. Most people who suffer from this kind of disease have been diagnosed since childhood." It is a miracle that the daughter can live to this day, and I can only stabilize the condition, there is really nothing I can do to help."

Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears and asked: "You mean, there is no way to cure my daughter's illness?"

"I'm ashamed." Dr. Li shook his head and said, "I'll grab some medicine for the patient first, and you guys will be here later."

It turned out that just after Zhang Yao was born, the doctor said that she would not live long, but she did not expect that she survived.For so many years, only Zhang Yao's mother and daughter depended on each other in the family. Zhang Yao's mother watched her grow up, from standing up, walking step by step, to calling mother.Zhang Yao's mother thought, maybe it was her prayers all day long, which made God show kindness and kept Zhang Yao safe and sound.But in the past two years, Zhang Yao's heart disease has become more and more serious, and sometimes she will suddenly collapse, her face turns pale,

"I can guess it even if the doctor doesn't tell me. Although this doctor can't cure me." Zhang Yao said with a firm face: "However, I will not give up. The world is so big, and one day I will find a medicine that can cure me." Be good to me, and then I will live a good life with my mother and honor her well."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "Yes, the world is so big, you have to go out and see more, stay in a small village and never go out for the rest of your life, how can you do it."

Xia and Zhang Yao nodded in agreement when they heard this.

"Ding Dong, host, you now have a mission to help Zhang Yao cure her condition."

Looking at Zhang Yao's strong look, Xia said, "You...are so optimistic."

Zhang Yao said with a relaxed smile: "Hehe, being happy is a lifetime, and being unhappy is also a lifetime. Why do you keep thinking about unhappy things?"
