Chapter 115: The Good Horse (2)

The group hurried away, but they couldn't keep up with the speed of the night getting heavier and the clouds were thicker. After a while, the road surface was a little unclear, and it was raining in the sky again.

The rivers and lakes in the Sanwei area are dense, many large and small water systems are rushing along the old road of the nine rivers, and there are broad water surfaces on the east, west and south sides, so although it is located in Hebei, the climate is humid and rainy and foggy, even if it is autumn at this time, there will still be a torrential rain from time to time.

Lu Yao raised his face, and the slightly cool raindrops flying diagonally penetrated into the skin of his face, making his body feel cool and comfortable due to the heat of the horse. But it immediately occurred to him that for the displaced people who gathered in large groups, the stormy night would quickly take away their body temperature and cause a variety of diseases, and in order to escape the rain, the anxious displaced people were likely to storm the dock wall and conflict with the local residents...... This rain is so untimely.

Fortunately, it was not too far from Yang Heng's manor, and Lu Yao was urging the horse while thinking that if he wanted to urge the steward of the manor to vacate the place to settle the displaced people, he had to secretly prepare for the situation.

But soon Lu Yao found that his worries and calculations were all unnecessary. When he arrived near the manor, he saw a scene of order.

An open field outside of the Sheep Manor was occupied as a camp, and thousands of homeless people were divided into dozens of small square settlements scattered out, each with a fence as a fence. The bonfires glow a warm orange under the cover of the carpet, driving away the chill of the autumn night rain, and many homeless people gather around the campfires to protect themselves from the rain. Some people make subtle snoring noises and are already asleep.

A few more steps will reveal a narrow open space between the settlements as a road. A team of more than ten people, apparently composed of a mixture of the Yang clan's clans and the homeless people, was patrolling back and forth with long and short sticks. Although those scenes before were rare in Lu Yao's opinion, they were not a big deal after all, but this small patrol team made him admire again and again.

He knew very well that the displaced people came to Wei County from the south of Jizhou, and the distance was about ten days, and the distance was far from Pingyuan, Qixian, Ande and other places, and it took at least 20 days or even a month to walk along the way. The food they carried was almost exhausted on the way, and they had to survive by gathering wild vegetable scraps in the fields or begging. Sometimes, they even take advantage of their numbers to steal food from the local people by semi-coercion. And this semi-coercive method will soon gradually evolve into open looting, so that the displaced people are like a large number of locusts crossing the border, and they are extremely destructive. To some extent, they are the victims, but also the perpetrators.

Under such circumstances, neither the owner of a large manor who occupies a thousand tilts of fertile land nor a poor man who can barely eat three meals will have the slightest affection for the homeless. Unless the number of displaced people is too large, and the local agricultural economy is quickly destroyed, the local people are engulfed into the displaced groups...... Of course, that's a different story.

When Lu Yao left the Yang Manor, the people in the manor were all extremely suspicious and hostile to the homeless team. Lu Yao never thought that in just half a day's effort, the manor tribe would have joined hands with the homeless people to maintain law and order? Who did this? Who can have such talent, such prestige?

Lu Yao was looking around Lerma, and the steward in the manor had already seen Lu Yao and his cavalry from a distance, and hurriedly led the servants to meet him.

Lu Yao casually exchanged a few words with the steward, and then asked: "The out-of-town refugees are very stable, I don't know why this is happening?" ”

The steward smiled all over his face: "Thanks to Daoming Gong." ”

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment before reacting. It turned out that this steward was vulgar and did not know how to avoid it, and the "Daoming Gong" he was talking about was not himself, but the son of the former chariot general who also stayed in the manor, and Cai Mo Cai Daoming, who was also Lu Yao's old acquaintance.

Cai Ke Cai Zi Ni is a famous scholar who was known for his erudition and general knowledge at a young age. Because of his upright and simple personality and not good flashiness, Shangshu Shan Jian of the Ministry of Officials once wrote to Situ Wang Yan and praised him as "the righteous man of today". Cai Ke was born in Chengdu Wang Sima Ying, first as the secretary of the office, and later passed on to the prime minister Dong Cao Peng, and the personnel in charge of the punishment of Zang Wei and other things. Lu Yao clearly remembered that when Shiheng Gong, Shi Long Gong and others were killed, Wei Cai Ke and others chatted with several people to speak up, and later returned to their hometowns angrily because of this. When Ma vacated the town of Yecheng of Dongying Company, he recommended Cai Ke as a Zhonglang, and coerced him with military period, Cai Ke had no choice but to take office, but a few months later, he was attacked by Jisang Shile thieves and captured Yecheng, and unfortunately did not exist in the army.

Cai Ke's son, Cai Mo and Cai Daoming, are about the same age as Lu Yao, and when he was weak, he was held up by the state and county as filial piety and talent, and he was also a famous figure. He was shocked to hear the bad news and rushed from Chen Liu to deal with the funeral and prepare for the return of the soul to his hometown. Because of the complexity of things, the hectic chaos has only been stopped until now. He and Lu Yao happened to settle in Yangheng's manor in the past few days, because of the friendship between the two parents, although the two did not have a deep friendship with each other, they got along very well.

Hearing the steward talk about Cai Mo, Lu Yao suddenly remembered that when he left, he had indeed asked Cai Mo to take care of the displaced people. As a result, he took care of it so well, and it was unexpected.

Lu Yao made a big deal with the county lord today, and it was inevitable that he would be a little excited, although he was busy all day, he didn't feel tired. So he pulled the reins of his horse and motioned to the steward, "Then please take me to see Brother Cai." ”

Cai Mo is now in a settlement in the southeast corner of the camp camp. When Lu Yao arrived, this young man with a wide robe and wide sleeves was sitting on the mud floor without any scruples, concentrating on checking the pulse of a middle-aged man.

After a long time, I only heard Cai Mo say slowly: "Su asks about clouds, the five epidemics are so easy to infect each other, regardless of the size, the symptoms are similar." Although you have symptoms of unfavorable nasal passages, it is only a minor symptom. In my opinion, your illness is all due to the epidemic, which invades the human body, causing the lungs to be inappropriate and the outside of the body to be unstable. The wind evil takes advantage of the void to enter, and the cold and dampness are combined, leaving in the joints, blocking the qi, and the limbs are lost in warmth, so the symptoms of cold syncope are seen......"

Speaking of this, Cai Mo frowned and muttered, "This disease is easy to treat, but it is difficult to find medicine for a while." Let's do it......" He casually wrote down a few prescriptions and handed them to the middle-aged man: "These flavors are common medicinal materials in the mountains and wilderness, and the effect is worth it." Tomorrow, when the sun is clear, pick and boil it into a decoction according to the amount and take it. ”

The middle-aged man went with a thousand thanks. Seeing that there were no other patients, Cai Mo prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, he sat for too long and his feet were sore, and he couldn't get up for a while.

He was about to stretch out his hand to support the ground, but Lu Yao rushed forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "I never thought that the virtuous brother would still have this ability." ”

Cai Mo shook his head again and again and said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, which is just used to redeem the past sorrows and relieve the boredom in my heart." ”

The two walked along the narrow passage between the settlements in the direction of the manor. Lu Yao asked: "Since the virtuous brother is good at medical skills, he can cure the diseases of the monarch and relatives, the poor and the lowly, and the middle can protect his health, why do you have to worry about it?" What's so boring? ”

Cai Mo sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes." I have loved medicine since I was a child, but I have not learned very well. More than ten years ago, there was a distant relative named Zhang Jia in the family who stayed there. When I was sleeping, I suddenly saw Zhang Jia in a dream and said that he was violently ill, his heart was so painful that he could not vomit, and he was afraid that he was going to die. The spider can be cut off alive, and swallowed to heal. I hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, Zhang Jia was about to die. At that time, there was no other solution, so he caught some spiders and put them in his throat...... Ahem, where does it work? I could only watch Zhang Jia die of illness. Since then, I have become more and more attentive to the art of Qihuang, and by chance I obtained the pulse meridian written by Wang Xi, a famous doctor of the former Wei Dynasty, from the hands of my elders. ”

The rain wet Cai Mo's robe, and he suffered the pain of losing his father, and when he moved, he slightly stiffened his shoulders and back, and his figure became thinner and thinner. Under the faint bonfire, the deep wrinkles between the eyebrows were faintly discerned: "The medical skills are getting higher and higher, and the number of living people is increasing, but I only feel more and more tired and bored." It is necessary to know that it is easy to treat one person, and it is not difficult to treat ten people. But in times like this, millions of people are in great trouble all the time, but how can I save them? ”
