Chapter Eighty-Three: Brother-in-law Is Really a God!
The post station was in Qingchi, and the Zhenguo army was stationed in Hejian Province. Between the two, there is still a distance of more than 100 miles.
It's not an easy road, for Downing.
I had to cough for a long time after walking two steps, and it rained so heavily yesterday, and today the sun is shining, and the range of vision is only five or six steps, and the dense fog completely blocks the way ahead.
In addition, the official road under their feet was muddy, and the group walked slowly. The humid air and the scorching sun made everyone feel awkward, not to mention the illness of Downing.
But even so, everyone still had to continue to move towards Hejian Mansion.
In the middle of the night, I found a post station to rest, and continued to set off early the next morning.
Lin Wei was a little worried about Tang Ning's condition, because when Tang Ning coughed now, the sound in his throat was like a broken bellows. And his high fever has not subsided, and the weather is so hot, in case Tang Ning has three longs and two shorts, none of his rough men will take care of people.
So when passing by a small county town, Lin Wei raised his worries, and suggested that Tang Ning go to the county town to rest for a while, find a few brothers with fast feet to go to the Zhenguo Army barracks to report the matter first, and find a military doctor to come over.
This proposal was strongly approved by Qi Fu, and Tang Ning couldn't resist this shaft guy, so he had to agree to let the doctor in the county see the doctor first.
I invited the doctor to take a look, and the doctor gave Tang Ning the pulse number for a long time. Sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, Tang Ning was shocked to think that he had some terminal illness.
Finally, the doctor with white hair and beard stood up and said, "Ah, it's just that evil qi has entered the body." The old man prescribes a prescription for you, you go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine according to the prescription, and according to the dosage on the prescription, fry a pot every morning and evening and drink it.
In six or seven days, you'll be almost cured! ”
"Thank you, doctor." Before Tang Ning could speak, Lin Wei first hugged his fist at the doctor: "I don't know where the medicine hall where the doctor is sitting?" I will send you back and grab the medicine according to your prescription by the way. ”
"It's okay, then wait until you get to the medicine hall, and the old man will catch it for you personally!" After that, he walked out of the inn with Lin Wei one after another.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked shopkeeper in the counter said to Tang Ning: "Guest officer, are you suffering from a warm illness?" ”
Tang Ning couldn't help but laugh and said, "What, you are also a miracle doctor, you can see at a glance what kind of disease I am?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Look at what you said, the villain is not a miracle doctor, but the villain is a doctor who has been ill for a long time." With this kind of warm disease, the villain will get it four or five times a year.
If you want to, listen to the barefoot man. The villain has a unique secret recipe here, specializing in the treatment of temperature diseases, you see......"
"What's in your secret recipe, can you tell me about it?"
The shopkeeper's face changed, and he shook his head and said, "This can't be done, guest officer." If I told you, villain
What else do you want to make money? Say yes or no! ”
As soon as this slightly coercive sentence was spoken, the guards who had sat at the two tables immediately turned all their eyes on the shopkeeper. But the shopkeeper seemed unmoved, and was still squeezing his eyebrows with Tang Ning.
Qi Fu slapped the table and snorted coldly: "Pay attention to your attitude, do you know who you are talking to now?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was happy: "What, is it possible that the relatives of the emperor and the country deigned to live in the shop?" After speaking, his face turned dark and said: "Love to buy or not, love to live, don't play big names here!" People like you, I've seen a lot! ”
"What the fuck do you want to fight!" If Qi Fu was to be himself, he would forget it, and go out with Tang Ning, he could stand this anger, and he was about to jump out and follow the shopkeeper as he rolled up his arms and sleeves.
Seeing this, a few guys and Xiao Er who were helping in the store ran to the shopkeeper one after another. This scene fell in Tangning's eyes, which made him a little strange.
However, he still stopped Qi Fu's actions as soon as possible, grabbed Qi Fu's sleeve and coughed twice: "Forget it, others are also kind." ”
After that, he got up and arched his hand towards the shopkeeper and said: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's trouble, but a certain family will leave for Hejian Mansion tomorrow, if the shopkeeper's secret recipe has no effect on a certain family, it is not easy for a certain family to find the accountable of the shopkeeper, right?"
So the secret recipe thing, forget it. As for the conflict just now, this brother-in-law of a certain family has a hot temper, and a certain family apologizes to the shopkeeper for him, even if this matter is over, how about it? ”
"Brother-in-law! You ......"
"Don't talk yet......"
The shopkeeper patted his shoulder and said with a condescending look: "Since you have said so, the shopkeeper should naturally give you this face."
But your brother-in-law's personality, if you don't control it more, I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the future.
Forget it, this shopkeeper is not a guest officer, your relatives and friends, and he is not qualified to discipline, but you still have to treat your brother-in-law with more snacks. ”
Qi Fu's fists creaked, and the green tendons on his forehead bloomed. is also a person who is almost thirty years old, when has he ever been ridiculed by others riding on his face like this? If it weren't for Downing tugging at his sleeve, he would have died with this bastard today.
Then Tang Ning dragged Qi Fu upstairs, along with the guards, and went up with them. The diners who had been watching the excitement for a long time on the side saw that there was nothing lively to see, so they dispersed one after another.
Either go back to your desk or go upstairs.
After entering the room, Qi Fu said angrily: "Brother-in-law, why don't you let me beat up that dog's shopkeeper?" Look at his villainous appearance, it's really ...... Is...... Alas! ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "But people are not wrong, when will your impulsive temperament change?" If you hadn't choked with him from the beginning, what would it be
So like now, I am angry with myself like this. ”
"You're still talking to him? Who the hell are you brother-in-law? ”
"Don't worry, I don't think the shopkeeper looks like a good bird. Don't you see those guys under him, who immediately ran to his side and protected him as soon as something happened.
Saying it's a buddy, I feel like a little brother who can help something. Let's see, I've already told him that tomorrow we're going to Hejian Mansion.
If my guess is correct, we will set off tomorrow, and we will be ambushed by a group of bandits and robbers who don't know where they came from. ”
Qi Fu's eyes lit up and said, "What do you mean ......?"
"You are my brother-in-law, my daughter's uncle, how can I let you suffer?" Tang Ning said this with a smile, and Qi Fu was moved to tears.
……………………
Lin Wei came back with a bag of medicine, and the doctor who sat in the hall also gave him a frying pan for decoction of medicine. When he came back, he went upstairs to look at Tang Ning, and when he saw that he was fine, he was ready to go down to decoct Tang Ning's medicine.
Before he stepped out of the door, he was stopped by Tangning. Qi Fu ran over and pulled him in, closed the door again, and the three of them began to discuss what to do tomorrow......
Tang Ning has always disliked drinking medicine, whether in his past life or in this life. It is a medicine that is poisonous, and he would rather languish for a few more days than get better immediately by taking medicine.
But now the situation is different, as soon as he comes, he will rush to Hejian Mansion, and when he comes, he will lead the Zhenguo army to fight, as the commander of the first army, it is not good to look like a sick cat.
After drinking a bowl of thick decoction, Tang Ning only felt that he couldn't even drink water. But after resting for a while, it did get better, at least my head was no longer as groggy as before.
The next morning, I didn't even eat breakfast when I got up, and the group settled the payment and left.
However, Tang Ning still kept an eye on it, and asked the two guards to pretend to be guests who were not on the way with them, and stay here to observe the innkeeper.
Sure enough, Tang Ning and the others left not long after. The shopkeeper called the men away, and in a short time he was the only one who came out, and not long after the door was opened, he hung a sign on the door that it was closed.
The two guards looked at each other and smiled, then also settled the money and went out, following the direction of Tang Ning and the others.
Besides, Tang Ning and his entourage, after leaving the county seat, embarked on the official road. It's a hot summer, and even the early morning isn't much cooler. On the trunks of trees on both sides of the road, in the grass, there was the humming of cicadas.
After walking for almost six miles, I couldn't see the county seat anymore. In the middle of the road ahead, a thick tree lay quietly on the ground, blocking everyone's way.
Tang Ning and Qi Fu glanced at each other, and Qi Fu was excited.
Sure enough, he is the brother-in-law he admires the most, he is strategizing, he is like a god, and he is really a god!
