Only those who have been on the verge of despair know how wonderful life is.

When walking in the desert, no matter how thirsty you are, you cannot drink the last sip of water. Otherwise, you will die in the desert.

The last sip of water is hope.

Qin Chong vaguely understood the veterans and no longer persisted in asking them to take medicine. Everyone got on their horses and slowly headed west. It was more than two hundred miles from Longyang to Fuping. If the horses were fast, they could arrive in half a day. However, now, Everyone was injured and could only walk slowly.

At noon, we came to a small town. The town was called Qian'er, with only one street from the north to the south. On both sides of the street were low and dilapidated houses, with a few grocery stores open, and not many customers were seen in the street for a long time. Up there, there were only a few pedestrians, and their clothes were shabby and shabby.

Qin Chong wanted to find a medical clinic, but he couldn't find one from beginning to end. He couldn't help but complain that this town was really shabby.

There were a few restaurants, with a big pot outside the door, cooking a lamb skeleton, and a fishy smell wafting around. Entering a store, there were only two tables in the store, but they were all polished and shiny. The shopkeeper looked at the people. With a bow and a sword on his back, he was so scared that he didn't dare to come forward to greet him.

"If you have anything to eat, bring it over quickly." A veteran shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper responded repeatedly and hurried to the kitchen.

Everyone sat down at two tables, and an aunt came out of the kitchen. She was in her thirties or forties, very timid and reserved. She carried a basin of bangbang buns and put it on the table. Without daring to raise her head, she turned and ran away. The common people are afraid of officials, and even more afraid of soldiers. A few strong strangers with swords are scary, aren't they?

Not long after, the shopkeeper came out of the back kitchen with several dishes. A plate of beef, a plate of haggis, and a large bowl of spicy noodles. Several people had been hungry since morning, and their chests were pressed against their backs. , didn’t mind the crudeness of the food, so he grabbed the bangbang buns and ate them with spicy noodles.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any horse information?" the old ghost asked.

"Yes, yes."

"The horses outside the door are well taken care of, and they won't be worth your money."

"I know, I know." The shopkeeper responded repeatedly, lowered his head and entered the kitchen again.

After a while, the dishes were served one after another. Although they didn't look good, they tasted quite delicious. Especially the noodle spicy noodles, which were moderately salty and spicy and extremely delicious. Qin Chong had eaten this before, and it was also called steamed spicy noodles. It was mostly used for soaking. Eating it with steamed buns is somewhat similar to spicy soup. The more you eat it, the more addictive it becomes.

However, the spiciness is not that of chili peppers, but "mustard spiciness", also known as "mustard". At this time, people would grind mustard seeds with water, then pour out the water, and grind them several times to make mustard paste. , add various side dishes to blend, the taste is spicy and exciting.

"Shopkeeper, is there a doctor in this town?" Liu Hou was concerned about the injuries of everyone, so he asked the shopkeeper about the doctor.

"Yes, yes," the shopkeeper replied.

"Yes? That's great." Liu Hou was delighted, and then asked, "Can I ask the shopkeeper to lead us there?"

"It's very close. Just turn left when you go out and walk a hundred or so steps."

"Oh?" Qin Chong was surprised. He had just walked around and didn't see a medical clinic. "There was no medical clinic on the street?"

"Master Jun misunderstood, it's not a medical clinic, but a car shop." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The doctor lives there."

So that was the case. Qin Zhong rolled his eyes and cursed. The doctor was not in the hospital but in the car shop. How could anyone find him? But soon, the shopkeeper explained the reason and everyone suddenly realized. It turned out that the doctor was a rogue doctor. I came here by chance and stayed in a big car shop to treat people.

"Before I left Doctor Fang, how did people in the town get medical treatment?" Qin Zhong asked.

"Alas." The shopkeeper sighed and smiled bitterly, "What kind of disease are you looking for? I can take care of the minor illness myself."

"What should I do if I get seriously ill?"

"If you are really seriously ill, you have to go to Pucheng. The medical fees are so expensive, who can afford it?"

There are very few doctors these days, and there is not even one in every village in the world. It is not easy to learn medicine, and after completing the course, no one can stay in a remote place with peace of mind. Either they go to the capital, they choose to open a clinic in a big city, or they travel all over the world.

, to increase one’s knowledge. No one would come here to a place like Qian’er.

The problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor seems to have existed since ancient times. However, it is only ordinary people who have difficulty.

After paying the bill, a few people went to look for the doctor. It was easy to find him. He was not far away from the neighboring car shop. Seven or eight people were waiting outside a guest room. They looked haggard and they also came to seek medical treatment. When they arrived, they were frightened.

Everyone hurriedly ran away, and some even ran out of the car shop without even looking at him.

There is no way, the soldiers are all vicious. They oppress the people and take by force, they are no better than bandits.

Especially He Wu'er, who has a hideous scar on his face and doesn't look like a good person.

"Alas." Qin Chong sighed silently. The reputation of the Song Dynasty's army was really not very good. No wonder everyone looked down upon it.

At this time, the door curtain was opened, and a girl of 14 or 15 years old came out. She was wearing a Gebu dress and a floral scarf on her head, covering her hair. She was tall and handsome, especially with a pair of bright eyes.

.Not afraid of people, he looked at several people up and down.

"Are you also seeing a doctor?" the little girl asked. "Master is tired today. It seems that you are not ill. Come back tomorrow."

"No." Liu Houdeng was anxious. How could they wait until tomorrow? "We still have to hurry. It's convenient for me, little lady."

"Are you still on your way? You are so depleted of energy and blood that you are going to die?" the little girl scolded angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes, who would do this unless it was a last resort? I hope the young lady will be accommodating." Liu Hou bowed and said good things.

"Let him come in." The little girl swept through the crowd, her eyes stopped on Shi Yong, and she raised her hand and pointed.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Liu Hou thanked him again, and he was really amazed. A disciple who visited the doctor saw that several people were weak in energy and blood, which was fine, but he could tell at a glance that Shi Yong was the most seriously injured, which was a bit remarkable.

.If the disciple is like this, one can imagine the medical skills of his master.

"Wait outside the door and don't make any noise." The little girl supported Shi Yong and turned around to warn him.

The people outside the door slowly left, leaving only a few of them. Seeing the little girl entering the house, He Wuer and the others immediately chuckled.

"What a powerful little girl, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to breathe."

"How can you get married if you are so powerful?"

"You want to marry someone else? Who dares to marry her?"

"..."

A few tough guys got excited and commented on the little girl. After a while, even her husband's family decided.

"Be careful if people hear you. I'll treat you later when I look at your injuries." Liu Houren said kindly, but he couldn't bear to listen.

"Is Lao Cai afraid of this?"

"You try?" the old ghost said gloomily.

The door curtain suddenly opened, and the little girl came out again. Several people were startled, and immediately shut up, thinking that the little girl had heard it and wanted to cause trouble for them.

"The flavorful herbs are gone, I'm going to pick some." The little girl said, reaching out to lift the medicine basket by the door. "You wait, the master will call you in. Remember, only one person can go in at a time."

Put on the bamboo hat and walk out the door.

"We have horses. It will be faster if we ride on them." Liu Hou said.

The little girl turned around, thought for a while and said, "Okay, which one of you will come with me?"

"He." Everyone said in unison, all pointing at Qin Chong, who was the youngest and unhurt.

"Okay." The little girl nodded. Seeing Qin Zhong in a daze, she glared and said, "Still not leaving?"

"Oh, okay." Qin Zhong responded and walked out. Their horses were still stored in the restaurant.

"Stupid." The little girl's eyes flashed and she suddenly muttered.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chong's ear was very good, and although his voice was small, he heard it clearly. His body stiffened and he didn't want to go. But soon, Qin Chong smiled casually, and a little girl who didn't understand the world was arguing with her.

What? He raised his head and strode out the door.

"You are really stupid, you don't even know how to wait for me." The little girl couldn't keep up with her steps, so she couldn't help but muttered.

Qin Zhong hit his forehead with his palm, probably trying to smooth out the black lines all over his forehead. He was so stunned that he didn't know whether to continue walking or stop and wait for her.

"Ah, did you hear that?" the little girl shouted in surprise.

"I didn't hear it." Qin Chong no longer wanted to talk to her.

"You just heard it."

"I didn't hear anything."

"You just heard it."

"Okay, I heard you."

"Look, I said it right, right? You just heard it."

"I heard you, can we go?"

"If you heard it, say you heard it. If you didn't hear it, say you didn't hear it." The little girl said like a tongue twister, "You can't explain it clearly, how can you say you're not stupid?"

"..." Qin Zhong turned around and left. He wanted to beat someone if he listened any more.

Qin Chong was extremely depressed and strode back to the restaurant. The backyard of the restaurant was large and there was a manger next to the west wall, but ten horses came in at once, crowding the backyard. He found his own

The horse, with its baggage and weapons temporarily unloaded, was led out of the door and turned onto the horse.

Seeing the little girl coming over, he turned his head and stretched out a hand. He meant to drag the little girl onto the horse.

"Come down." The little girl didn't appreciate it, her pretty face was tense.

"What to do?"

"get down."

Qin Chong endured his anger, jumped down with a thump, and stood aside without saying a word, looking at the little girl coldly.

The little girl snorted coldly, grabbed the saddle and started to climb up. However, the horse was tall and the pedals were quite high off the ground. The little girl struggled for a long time but still did not climb onto the horse. Instead, she was panting from exhaustion. Suddenly she became fierce,

He suddenly jumped up and put himself on the horse's back.

One of the legs was drooped, and despite trying several times, he could not get up, causing his face to turn red.
