Chapter 139: A Small Town
The roadblock was gone, but the bridge was still that narrow one. Although there were some doubts about the 120-kilogram weight limit, no one dared to take the risk.
The people who came to see the doctor all squatted by the bridge with sad faces, discussing something while comforting Chen Chunxing and the others: "We'll go first, you guys follow behind, nothing should happen!"
They are single.
I've offended everyone, so I don't care if I offend more.
Some people had nothing better to do, so they took a long pole and started to poke the men in the river. Anyone who dared to show their head would be hit, just like playing whack-a-mole.
Chen Chunxing was itching to try it out, and he looked around, wanting to try it himself.
Xue Yongan put his arm around her waist in time.
Chen Chunxing raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes mischievously, but before he could utter any teasing words, Xue Yongan hugged him and flew across the bridge.
The boy's feet felt as light and casual as if they were walking on snow. The wooden bridge that seemed to be about to collapse at any time miraculously did not shake at all, as if no one was walking on it at all.
"What great martial arts skills!" Xun Huisheng's eyes lit up.
Everyone looked towards the other side with longing, wishing they could also find a son-in-law with great martial arts skills.
There was anticipation in Bu Yao's eyes, and Yang Yi hesitated and turned away.
Given his physique, he really can't move as light as a swallow!
there.
Xue Yongan put Chen Chunxing down, raised his little face, and asked seriously, "What's the point of just the two of us coming here?"
Xue Yongan replied as a matter of course, "We're just wasting time anyway, so let's just walk around. Wait for the people following us to pass on the message, and someone will come. Then we'll take care of everything we need to do. Why worry about not finding a boat?"
Chen Chunxing thought for a moment and gave him an admiring look.
No wonder he was so arrogant just now; he must have already spotted the hidden sentries lurking in the streets. If they dared to embarrass a doctor in Liuren City, they must have some ulterior motive. We'll see who has the harder fist...
The small courtyard made of blue bricks looks much more valuable than the yellow mud walls outside Honglu County.
The Ge family sold their daughter because they lost their livelihood, but Doctor Chu seemed to be living a wealthy life, which surprised Shen Chunxing.
The exclamation from the other side had already reached the courtyard. A young man dressed as a medicine boy came out, looked at the two of them warily, and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Chunxing smiled: "Of course we come to the clinic to see a doctor, we don't want to beg for food, do we?"
The young man was stunned, the cold expression on his face could no longer be suppressed. He touched the back of his head innocently and breathed a sigh of relief: "See a doctor, I thought you were here to cause trouble again...Okay, come in with me."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the yard.
Xue Yongan followed Shen Chunxing closely and glanced at the ground casually when he entered the door.
The old soil has been turned over anew.
He silently looked away without exposing her.
Living in a place like this, it's never too late to take any precautions.
In the yard.
A slim woman was rummaging and picking up things in front of the drying rack.
Next to it is a large medicinal field.
Chen Chunxing secretly clicked his tongue.
When she first landed, she felt that the yard was a bit too big. She thought that since it was a clinic after all, it might have some beds for patients to rest.
But after entering, I found that I was wrong. There were only three or five houses in the yard, and the layout was no different from that in the village. All the vacant spaces were planted with medicinal herbs.
The North is desolate, and even growing crops is difficult, but now someone can grow herbs. If this gets out, it will probably cause a sensation.
"Doctor Chu..." Chen Chunxing murmured, "Have you always been so frank?"
The yard is full of medicinal herbs. It would be fine if they didn't cover them up, but they also let outsiders directly into the yard, as if they were afraid that they would attract covetous eyes.
Hear the sound.
Chu Mei turned her head, briefly sized the two up, and said nonchalantly, "We run a clinic, so sooner or later, people will be on our radar. Since hiding it is useless, why bother worrying about it? The more people come to my place, the safer it is."
There was a lot of meaning in these words, and it didn't seem like something you should say to someone you were meeting for the first time.
Shen Chun walked closer, "Doctor Chu seems to know me?"
She was wearing a mask.
Chu Mei put down the dustpan in her hand, waved at the two of them, and ushered them into the house. She then told the maid to serve tea. After that, she smiled and said, "Ge Daniu is a very good pretender outside, but when he comes home, he is just a chatterbox... There is no one else like you two, a talented man and a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament, who can find me."
Chen Chunxing sat down, took the tea, and thanked him in a lukewarm tone.
Baoer's mother is much smarter than her and her mind is more complicated than her.
When dealing with such people, there is no point in talking too much, so just get straight to the point.
"Madam, are you in trouble?"
Chu Mei nodded slightly.
"Jichang Pharmacy?"
Although it was a question, Chen Chunxing used a firm tone.
Chu Mei looked up at her and said frankly, "Not only did the Ge family start selling medicine again, they also hired a doctor. Their business is much better than before. It's not surprising that Boss Huang chose to start with me."
Hearing the implication, Chen Chunxing tapped the table with his hand. "Madam, what you said is not right, right? It should be Jichang Pharmacy that first took a fancy to the medicinal fields here, and then tried to squeeze out the Ge family. The order of priority must be understood clearly."
Honglu County is just a remote small town with poor people and a poor place. What could be worthy of the attention of the powerful?
Only talent!
There is a world of difference between having a supply channel and having someone who can grow herbs on wasteland.
She was a little puzzled before, but now she understands everything.
"The girl is really as smart as Daniel said. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Chu Mei smiled, not at all embarrassed by having her thoughts exposed, and pointed outside the house.
"Eight years ago, I first came here and never left. I thought I could finally live in peace and quiet, but I didn't expect that I would end up in trouble."
Chen Chunxing pointed out the key point, "Since the city lord has protected you for eight years, why would he change?"
Chu Mei shook her head, "Of course it's because I encountered something I couldn't handle."
Chen Chunxing frowned and asked tentatively, "Is it related to the imperial court?"
Chu Mei gave her a positive answer, "The Wu family is behind Jichang Pharmacy... Prince Li's wife's surname is Wu."
The North is far away from the center of power and is the least governed, except for Prince Li.
His territory is nearby.
Once the border is in trouble, we will have to ask for help from them.
It was for this reason that the old emperor made an exception and transferred him back to the capital.
“This is a really big mountain.”
Chen Chunxing sighed softly.
She was very curious about how many forces the small Honglu County would attract.
"Don't worry, girl. I'm not telling you this to embarrass you. I just want to give you some advice. If you're in a whirlpool, you should endure it if you can."
Chu Mei naturally did not place her hopes on the two of them. She had already lived here for eight years and didn't mind living here for another eight years. However, she could no longer do the business in Honglu County.
Earlier, when Ge Daniu had someone pass on the news that the Shen family had sent a doctor to the people, Chu Mei guessed that something was going to go wrong. Now that it had happened to her, she did not feel any resentment.
She had long been accustomed to being trapped. Whether life was good or bad, she was still alive.
As long as my husband and daughter are safe, that's enough.
