Chapter 316: Monks of Fuyun Temple
Fearing that this young lady would say something shocking again, the bandits on the high platform roared again:
"Wait a minute, we have brothers to take you in."
Hearing this, Wen Wan, who was dressed as an old woman, secretly gave Wen En a smug look.
Seeing her playful appearance, Winn, dressed as a miracle doctor, smiled indulgently, "Sister is so smart."
Wen Wan waved her hand, "Just a little water, no big deal."
After a while, some bandits opened the gate of the stronghold.
The process of them entering the village was much easier than expected.
It turned out that they were not the only ones who came to treat the second in command's hidden illness.
Not far from the entrance to the mountain stronghold is a row of houses. The houses are repaired very hastily, which is very appropriate for the name "mountain bandits".
In one of the rooms, a lot of people gathered.
Wen Wan took a quick look and saw that these people were a mixed bunch.
Most of them were doctors carrying medicine boxes, but there were also female doctors, Taoist priests, monks, etc. Many doctors were like them, bringing medicine boys and attendants.
The bandit pointed casually and said, "Wait here. When the Second In Command is ready, he will give you a chance to see the doctor."
The bandits who led the way dropped them here and left them alone. Only a few lazy bandits at the door were responsible for watching over the outsiders here and preventing them from running around.
As soon as Wen Wan and her group came in, someone came up to them and started chatting with them.
A little medicine boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, was very curious.
He approached Wen Wan cheerfully and asked, "Grandma, are you here to take the exam too?"
Wen Wan rolled her eyes and said calmly, "Yes, you too?"
As she spoke, Wen Wan took out a purse from her bosom, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the purse, and stuffed them into the little medicine boy's hand.
"Thank you, grandma." The little medicine boy cracked some melon seeds and felt more motivated to chat.
"Most of the people in this room are here to take the exam. Look, the only one over there had some connections with the people in the village before, so he was specially invited here."
Wen Wan looked in the direction he pointed.
He was a middle-aged monk in his early forties, wearing a cleanly washed robe. The six scars on his head showed his age.
There are also rules for the number of scars on a monk's head. One to three usually indicate a novice monk, six to nine indicate a formal monk, and above that indicate a high-level monk.
Wen Wan didn't expect that this was a real monk?
Wen Wan showed a curious expression, "You mean that monk? How come even a monk is trying to steal my job as a doctor?"
"That's right," the little medicine boy immediately shook his head. "We're all here to treat the Second Master's hidden ailment. According to the notice on the list, if the Second Master chooses our prescription and it works, he'll receive one thousand taels of silver."
The little medicine boy scoffed, "Money really makes the world go round. These monks and Taoists are actually here for the silver. They keep talking about begging, but they've ended up begging in a bandit's lair?"
"He's the master of Fuyun Temple. Isn't he afraid that the Buddha will come to his dreams in the middle of the night and call him a bastard?"
It was obvious that the little medicine boy was very dissatisfied with this matter and started complaining after saying a few words.
Wen Wan asked inconspicuously, "You just said this monk is from Fuyun Temple?"
The little medicine boy nodded. "Yes, the eldest master has some connections with Fuyun Temple. The monks of Fuyun Temple often provide medicine to the people living at the foot of the mountain, so they also know some medical skills. This time, the second master is suffering from a hidden illness, so the eldest master specially invited the monks from Fuyun Temple to come."
The little medicine boy started to gossip about other people again. From the hunchbacked lone barefoot doctor to the Taoist priest with some skills, he could actually tell the origins of each of them.
Wen Wan was amazed when she heard this. This little medicine boy is a good candidate to be a scout. Just look at his ability to get close to others and to ask them questions. Isn't he better than those spies hired by big families?
The little medicine boy continued to eat melon seeds. "Grandma, I see your young master has a very good temperament. I wonder which clinic he works in as a miracle doctor?"
Oh, are you trying to find out information about this group of people?
Wen Wan saw through the little medicine boy's thoughts and said calmly, "My young master, how can you compare with the doctors in the clinic? Have you heard of Medicine King Valley?"
The little medicine boy tilted his head and thought carefully, then shook his head.
“No.”
It's right that he hasn't heard of it. It would be strange if he had heard of it because it was made up in modern TV dramas.
Wen Wan thought about this and made up a story, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. We in Yaowang Valley don't often travel to the secular world. We just happened to be passing through here this time. I heard that the second in command had an unheard-of illness. My son is a medical geek, so he had to come and take a look at this unique disease."
The little medicine boy's eyes widened. "You're not here for the silver?"
Wen Wan laughed dryly twice, "What my young master lacks the most is silver. It's just one thousand taels of silver, my young master doesn't care about it."
The little medicine boy gave a thumbs up, but was obviously a little unconvinced.
Seeing this, Wen Wan gestured for him to move to the side.
The little medicine boy followed her to the corner with doubt, and saw Wen Wan take out a silver note from her arms.
"These are all gifts from my young master."
When the little medicine boy saw the denomination, his expression suddenly became a little confused.
A servant girl can easily take out a banknote of this denomination. How rich must her master be?
"Do you believe it?" Wen Wan asked.
The little medicine boy nodded and said, "I believe it."
After a pause, the little medicine boy said eagerly, "Grandma, you see, you are not doing this for money, but for the disease. How about you cooperate with my master for once?"
Wen Wan pretended to be confused, "What do you mean?"
The little medicine boy said, "Look, there are so many talented people in this room. How can we defeat them alone? Why don't we work together to come up with a prescription when we treat the Second Master? My master's medical skills are also very good, and with your young master, we will definitely come up with a powerful prescription."
"Is that so..." Wen Wan pretended to hesitate, "Then I'll ask my master what he thinks."
"Okay, I'll tell my master too."
Wen Wan separated from the little medicine boy and then returned to Wen En.
Seeing her eyes shining, Wen En asked, "Sister, did you find anything?"
Wen Wan nodded and lowered her voice and said, "Do you remember Fuyun Temple?"
Wen En was stunned. "The temple you mentioned where King Anding was ambushed?"
Wen Wan nodded, a sharp look flashing in her eyes, "Yes. That monk is the monk from Fuyun Temple."
She changed the subject and said in a cold voice, "A Buddhist temple is actually mixed up with bandits. It seems that we really need to get to know Fuyun Temple better."
Wen En frowned, feeling a little worried.
"Sister, Fuyun Temple is involved with this bandit den. I'm afraid there's a lot of water here. I'm not a real doctor. If I really come to treat the patient and get caught, I'll be in big trouble."
"How about... I'll have someone take you out first. Just tell me how you want to investigate and I'll help you."
Wen Wan waved her hand. "Since we're already here, if we leave now, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?"
She winked at him again. "Don't worry, nothing will come of it. Look, I just found a real doctor to work with. We'll follow him and just follow whatever he says. We'll definitely be able to get away with it."
