Chapter 2230 Missed
The mayor was excited, and after a pause, he said, "Spread the word. Say that a very good doctor has come to town. He's the one who treats the emperor and can cure any chronic illness."
He added, "Tell them privately, and tell them that as long as you bring the prescription written by this doctor to get the medicine, the medicine fee..."
He gritted his teeth and said with a pained heart, "I'll only charge them half the price for the medicine."
Ah Man went happily.
So Manbao always encountered patients seeking medical treatment when he was about to go out. For two consecutive days, Manbao had to see patients in the morning and could only go out to play in the afternoon. Finally, he posted a notice stating that he would only see patients after noon.
The weather here is cold in the morning, cool in the afternoon, and extremely hot at noon. Manbao and his friends are all reluctant to go out at noon.
It's so hot at noon, it would be great to just sit in the house, drink some tea, see patients and give acupuncture, and you can also harvest a lot of fruits.
Manbao and his family now don’t need to spend money to eat melons, fruits, or even vegetables. People who come to see the doctor will bring a few melons, a few bunches of fruit, or a few handfuls of vegetables.
Manbao and his friends couldn't finish eating it all, so they could share a lot with the other five courtyards, so the other courtyards would need to buy less vegetables.
Manager Li was in charge of everyone's food and drinks. After calculating the bill, he found that although Miss Man did not charge for her medical treatment, it still saved them a lot of money.
They got along more and more harmoniously with the people in the town. Even General Nie, who looked fierce, was greeted by people when he walked out. No matter whether they spoke the same language or not, they would just grin and greet him with big gestures.
So when Manbao and his friends checked out and confirmed their departure time, the townspeople were reluctant to let them go. Even Ale was reluctant and said to Manbao, "Master Zhou, if you continue to stay, I will give you a lower room rate."
He said, "You've already stayed here for twenty days. Ten more days, or a full month, is no problem. If you stay, you only need to pay half of the remaining rent."
Manbao's heart skipped a beat, then he shook his head firmly, "No, that would really get us stuck in this gentle world."
It’s only been eighteen days now, and they already like it here so much that they don’t want to leave. How can they waste their time like this?
So Manbao firmly resigned, and spent a day packing his luggage and preparing food and water. Next they needed to cross the desert to Shazhou.
There are oases along the way, but none as big as this one. They only replenish some drinking water there, so they need to prepare a lot of things.
When the townspeople saw them, they prepared many fruits and vegetables for them and taught them, "This thing can be retained, unlike water, which leaks and disappears. This can not only quench your thirst but also give you strength."
Manbao and the others happily accepted it.
Then the already large amount of luggage became even larger. Several large baskets were tied to the box and covered with oilcloth. They were full of fruits and vegetables sent by the residents.
The mayor, who had also prepared two baskets of fruits and two baskets of vegetables for them, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this, feeling that the gifts he gave were a bit embarrassing.
But he still smiled and walked forward to send it out.
Manbao and Baishan still happily accepted it.
The mayor smiled and said, "Doctor Zhou, when you return from the Western Regions, please come here again. I will treat you to whitebait and stonefish."
Manbao calculated the distance and thought that if they came back along this route they would definitely have to stop here, so he nodded.
The mayor then said to Dayu, "Escort Mr. Zhou and the others to Shazhou."
Heavy rain is expected to fall.
So the whole town sent them to the town entrance.
Da Yu couldn't help but glance back from his horse, exclaiming in amazement, "I remember the last time the whole town came out to see us off, right? That time it was because Tula and his gang had set their sights on our town and wanted to kill us and take it over."
The brother beside him said, "Doctor Zhou is so good. My wife's illness has been cured. We have agreed that we will give birth to the child after I return from Shazhou."
His wife gave birth to a child two years ago, but the child died before it was three months old. She has been having lochia, although not much, and has had difficulty getting pregnant. This time, Zhou Man cured her and left her a prescription. They just need to persist for three months and they will be fine.
Da Yu curled his lips, rode away, and said, "When I come back, I will marry a wife too."
Manbao placed a small wooden basin under the couch and secured it securely. Then he lowered the window screen and exhaled, "I wonder if the cacti in the other cars are any good."
Bai Shan said: "Don't worry, they will take good care of them. I didn't expect them to be so easy to keep alive. They have grown up in just a short time."
Then in a car, Bai Erlang covered his calf and screamed, "It stabbed me!"
Yin Huo glanced at it and then looked away, continuing to gaze through the veil at the yellow sand outside. Liu Huan hurriedly rolled up his trouser leg to take a look, but after a long look he couldn't find the wound, so he asked, "Where did you get the wound?"
Bai Erlang paused and said, "Although there were no marks, that's because my pants are good. I felt the sharpness just now. Really, I think it's too dangerous to leave this thing in the car. It should be put on the luggage cart."
It was originally intended to be placed on the luggage cart, but Yin Huo wanted to see some greenery on the road, so when he saw Manbao and the others took two pots into the car, he also took one.
Hearing him say this, Yin Huo could only helplessly say, "I was originally going to fix it to the window, but you said you wanted to cling to the window, so I put it under the bed. Who knew you would stick your feet under it?" "Forget it, let's let it out during the lunch break."
Bai Erlang was finally satisfied, but he still criticized Bai Shan and Man Bao's aesthetic taste. "What's so beautiful about this thing? Why are they looking at it with such gusto? Some time ago, Bai Shan would look at this round thorn before going to bed and when he woke up. I really don't see what's so admirable about it. Is it because peonies are not beautiful?"
Liu Huan couldn't understand either. He also missed the flowers and plants in the capital, so he said to him, "I wonder if we can return to the capital next year when the peonies bloom. If we can, I'll invite you to my house. My grandmother loves peonies, and half of my garden is planted with them."
Bai Erlang said complacently, "Although I don't have half a garden full of peonies, I have seen all kinds of peonies in the world. I have seen even those you haven't seen."
Liu Huan was stunned and asked, "Even I can't say I've seen it. Where did you see it?"
"Man Baoye, you see she's been digging up flowers and plants along the way. I tell you, she's naturally good at flowers and plants. No matter what kind of flower she has, she can grow it."
Liu Huan: "...I thought she was picking herbs."
"That's right," Bai Erlang agreed readily. "Can't peonies be used as medicine? She even said that the weeds on the roadside in our village can be used as medicine."
Just as they were moving forward step by step with the sun behind them, and finally chasing the sun, they arrived at the gate of Shazhou City, exhausted, but still did not encounter Bai Shan and his group. Erge and his group frowned, "Could they have already entered the city?"
See you at 9pm
