From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 66 Heading to Xishan
The dozen or so patients in the ancestral hall were cured by Henry Zhang on the same day, and the remaining part would be cured after a few days of drinking according to the prescription given by Henry Zhang.

It’s not that Henry Zhang can’t cure them completely, it’s just that the epidemic is urgent. If he stays for two days to treat them, the epidemic may spread in other towns.

Another point is that these three or two days are at least a healing process, to appease people's hearts.

In the heart of "cheap but not good", many people use it to see a doctor. Although it is unbelievable, it is true.They always like to take the most expensive medicine and use the longest and thinnest treatment method.

The villagers in the town, if they heard that Henry Zhang cured him on the first day he came back, they would not dare to let him out.

After Henry Zhang dealt with the epidemic in Renjia Town, he took the young people assigned by the village elders to the towns around Renjia Town.

There are quite a few towns around Renjia Town, but none of them are very far away from Renjia Town. Usually, it takes about half a day to a day for an ordinary person to get there.But this time, the two of them rode their bicycles to the next town, and they walked through the surrounding towns in less than four days.

Of course, Henry Zhang can handle the epidemic situation in the surrounding towns so quickly, and he has to thank two things.

One is that several towns are related to relatives. Seeing that Henry Zhang has the letter from Renjia Town as evidence, and he is here to investigate the plague, it is called a cooperation and enthusiasm, and it took half a day to check it all over.

Another thing is that they are lucky enough. These towns do not have as many business contacts as Renjia Town, and there are not many outsiders. Only two towns have discovered the plague that has not spread in the future. Henry Zhang immediately isolates and treats the disease. By the way, I passed on the precautionary techniques handed over to everyone along the way.

After working hard for four days, he finally solved the problem. After returning to Renjia Town, Henry Zhang took a rest, said goodbye to Uncle Jiu, and then prepared to go to Xishan Province.

The purpose of this trip to the West Mountain is firstly for A Bao to advance, and secondly for the purpose of curing illnesses and saving lives, and earning merit.If it weren't for Uncle Jiu to deal with the plague less conveniently than Henry Zhang, I'm afraid it was the uncle and nephew who went together this time.

Although Uncle Jiu didn't follow, Mengyu followed him under the pretext of protecting the way.It’s just that Henry Zhang looked at Mengyu’s expression and in the temptation of words, Henry Zhang didn’t think she came to protect the Tao, but instead focused on the tens of thousands of people who died in the plague.

Suffering from the plague, how can one die without complaint?The resentment of tens of thousands of people is a great complement to zombies, which use resentment as power and feed on blood.

Needless to say, Mengyu followed to Xishan, but at present, it is a guarantee, after all, Mengyu is strong and can usually deal with it.

Henry Zhang’s trip to Xishan this time is different from going to Tiannan. Tiannan is located in a remote area, and it is among the mountains. There are many forests and monsters in the mountains. Therefore, except for those businessmen who enter the mountains, ordinary people seldom go there.

So on the road to Tiannan, there are no traces on the vast road, and the mountains and shrubs hide people's tracks. If you are not careful, you will get lost, not to mention how many inns and guest houses will be on this road.

On the contrary, Xishan has been a big province for business since ancient times, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming from south to north. Even now that warlords are rampant and plague is everywhere, the number of merchants going here is not much less.

There is a saying that money can turn ghosts, not to mention some businessmen who are in the eyes of money. When the plague comes together, various items are in short supply. On the contrary, it is a business opportunity to make huge profits. Naturally, no one will miss this opportunity.

However, during the period of the Republic of China, although bandits who robbed roads were different from those in previous dynasties, there were also some green forest heroes who were doing robbery.So this businessman likes to go together when he goes on the road.

Henry Zhang usually doesn't wear Taoist priest's robes very much, but wears a Chinese tunic suit and carries a small leather suitcase that conceals people's eyes. He looks a bit like a student.

Mengyu also changed out of the ancient red long skirt, and put on a jacket skirt in the style of the Republic of China. The upper body is a high-necked printed jacket, and the lower body is a long black skirt. This outfit looks a bit like a female student in the Republic of China .

The two were on the road together. On the way, they met a kind-hearted herb merchant. Seeing the appearance of the two students, he asked, "Where are you two students going?"

Henry Zhangdao: "Go to Xishan to treat illnesses and save people."

Henry Zhang’s words are very similar to those passionate young people.After hearing this, the middle-aged businessman smiled slightly. He didn't know whether it was ridicule or praise, and he said: "My son and wife are Gao Yi, why don't you go with us."

Henry Zhang nodded and said: "Then thank you, the shopkeeper."

Since ancient times, merchants like to go together on the road. One is that they are afraid that the heroes blocking the road will rob the road. If there are many people, there will be multiple helpers.

The second is that businessmen are easy to make friends. Youdao means multiple friends and multiple paths. Intellectuals dressed like Henry Zhang are naturally their favorite friends who are not threatening.

After getting on the carriage for pulling goods, the businessman chatted with Henry Zhang and asked, "I don't know your surname?"

Henry Zhangdao: "My surname is Zhang Mingxuan, and this is my wife Ji Mengyu."

Mengyu’s surname is Ji, isn’t it just that Henry Zhang asked her from her mouth before, when Jiang Menghan’s corpse was killed, she followed Jiang Menghan’s surname and called Jiang Mengyu.But after she awakened the memory of her life, she remembered that her surname was Ji, so she called herself Ji Mengyu.

The past surname is the present name, and I don't know what she is thinking.

Henry Zhang and Ji Mengyu were regarded as husband and wife by the shopkeeper, without explaining, just as a cover.During the question and answer, Henry Zhang got acquainted with the medicinal material merchant.

The businessman, surnamed Su, surnamed Ziyi, was from Hunan Province. This time, he also heard that there was a shortage of medicinal materials for the plague in Xishan, so he took the risk to transport this batch of medicinal materials, and rushed to Xishan with a driver.

The man who was on the road accompanied Shopkeeper Su to walk this road not once or twice, but he was familiar with the road conditions and knew that although it didn’t look too late, if he didn’t speed up, he might not be able to catch up with the next roadside inn, so He also drove the car dully all the way and didn't talk much.

"Si, wait a minute."

While the carriage was speeding, Shopkeeper Su suddenly called Ah Si who was driving to stop, then got off the carriage and walked to the side of the road.It turned out that there was an old man in his 60s or [-]s on the side of the road.

Shopkeeper Su stepped forward and asked, "Old man, are you going to Xishan?"

The old man looked at shopkeeper Su suspiciously, cupped his hands and said, "Go to Xishan to visit relatives, what's the matter with shopkeeper?"

Shopkeeper Su said with a smile: "I see that the old man is having a hard time walking, so you might as well go with me in the carriage. Although my carriage is carrying goods, it is uncomfortable to sit on, but it is more comfortable than walking."

The old man thought for a while and thanked: "Then Wei Wu thanked the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Su returned the gift, and then took old man Wei Wu into the car.

Only then did Henry Zhang know that shopkeeper Su stopped the carriage just now to let the old man named Wei Wu get on the carriage, and he thought that shopkeeper Su was a kind-hearted person.

Old man Wei Wu got into the carriage, and the carriage continued to run.Only then did Henry Zhang have time to look at the appearance of the old man Wei Wu.

He has gray hair cut short randomly, a black cloth coat and trousers, and a long flat object wrapped tightly in white cloth strips behind his back. He doesn't know what it is.His face looks very ordinary like an old farmer, but his pair of arms looks powerful, and there are thick calluses on the tiger's mouth.

The old man didn't seem to like to talk, and he was silent when he got in the car. Except for the name he revealed, he didn't know any other information about him.

But the shopkeeper Su didn’t mind, after all, he was just doing a good deed every day, and there was no other purpose for letting the old man get in the car, so naturally it was not easy to get to the bottom of it, so he turned around and chatted with Henry Zhang.

It just happened that it was getting later and later, because shopkeeper Su pulled two groups of people, Henry Zhang and old man Wei Wu, on the road, which delayed the time. Get to the inn before dark.

This dark night road is nothing compared to modern times. There are neither street lamps nor car lights, and the dim road is illuminated by the leather lantern beside the carriage.It happened to be a candle, and Ah Si, who was driving the car, didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that the candle would be extinguished.

At this moment, the carriage was like a firefly caught in the darkness. Looking forward, it was so dark that there was no way forward, and looking back, it was also dim and unclear like an abyss.At this time, I could only hear the sound of "cracking" horseshoes, and there were a few strange birds singing on the side of the road from time to time, it was quite eerie.

While the carriage was running non-stop, suddenly a terrified exclamation overshadowed the sound of galloping horses' hoofs, the rein was pulled and stopped suddenly, only to hear the driver Ah Si turn his head, his face was pale, and he said in a trembling voice: : "Shop... the shopkeeper, I... we have encountered something!"
