The scenery by the river in the afternoon is particularly bright, and the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River does not see the yellow flowers of the red leaves, but the ground is full of splendid splendor.

Xu Hao took Dr. Pei and others to Jiashan County again, the bustling wharf is shady with trees, thousands of houses with tiled roofs, cooking smoke floats around, and the goods on the shore are piled up like a mountain.

In front of the river tax yamen, on a high mast, there is a long banner letter with large red and black characters written on it, fluttering in the autumn breeze.

Dozens of merchant and passenger ships are docked at the wharf, and it is getting late, and nearly 100 slender men are talking and laughing and soju in the wine shop to relieve the fatigue of the day. The woman called for her crazy children to come back for dinner at the door of the house, and the husbands looked freehand, and it was relatively easy to make a living in the land of fish and rice.

On the hillside on the opposite bank, in front of the ancestral hall dedicated to the river god, several old willow trees stand tall and tall, and the long willow branches are like moving ribbons, and the eyes are full of very prosperous scenes.

The sailors on the ship couldn't wait to get off the ship at the largest wharf in Jiashan County, and ran to Wang Fu's house to report that the owner of the ship had been convicted of murder and was on death row, and his brother had also been sent to find the head.

The rest of the local guests have their own places to go, and Xu Hao took four shrewd catchers and five guests from other places to get off the boat in this place, and arranged them at three landing points.

Before getting off the boat, Xu Hao first ordered: "Dress up immediately, Zhao Jia, you pretend to be a person with bad legs, Zhao Sheng, you pretend to be a hunchback, and Lao Feng, you pretend to be a fortune-teller and a word tester." The rest of the people, whether poor or scoundrels, went to various wine shops and teahouses every day to inquire about the news, and met at my lodgings every night to tell them what they had heard and witnessed during the day. ”

In this way, they all live on the same street, not far from each other, and the inn where the others lived, Xu Hao took Dr. Pei and a catcher Li Yi to rent a private house, put on the tattered clothes and old hats for the two of them, and asked Li Yi to carry the medicine box for Dr. Pei.

No one knew what medicine he was selling in his gourd. Xu Hao didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything that night.

Tomorrow, according to the instructions, Dr. Pei hung up the signboard at the intersection of Erxian Street, like a charlatan, with a layer of baggage on the ground, and a medicine box in the middle, on which were lined up with medicine bottles, knives and scissors, ointments and other materials.

On the crowded street, Dr. Pei said loudly: "Hangzhou Fifth Doctor Pei Zhongyun." Passing by your land, you will be famous for three days. Those who are destined to come to the treatment as soon as possible, try my methods, and do not need a penny for those who cannot be cured, and do not need a penny for the poor to give medicine to the poor. ”

As soon as he said this, a large circle of people immediately gathered around, and suddenly a rotten leg limped over, separating the onlookers. stepped forward and said, "Sir, my leg hurts a lot, but it hurts, you see this big piece of blackness." It's not swollen, and there is no water, it's just a pain in the heart when you touch it, may you treat it? ”

The people saw that his left leg was dark purple. Shocking, it is indeed no swelling and pus, it seems that it is a strange disease

Dr. Pei said, "If you can't cure it, can you still be regarded as a fifth-generation doctor?" Come. I told you to stop the pain immediately, walk home well, and tell the big guy to see my medical skills. I see that you are a poor man, and I don't want your money. Wrap the leg carefully in a cloth yourself. ”

The man thanked him gratefully, sat directly on the ground, and tied his leg with a handkerchief.

Dr. Pei took out two pills and asked, "Which one is convenient to give a bowl of water?" ”

Naturally, in order to see his means, the person with good deeds turned around and took a bowl of water and handed it to Dr. Pei. Dr. Pei told the man with the rotten leg to take two pills with water, pressed his hand on his leg for a half sound, and said, "Stand up." ”

The rotten leg stood up and moved in surprise. Dr. Pei smiled, "Does it still hurt?" ”

"God, it doesn't hurt anymore." The rotten leg shouted.

Dr. Pei said, "You stomp your foot on the ground hard to see if it hurts." ”

The rotten leg was like Fan Wei, who was selling crutches, and he kicked the ground three or four times in a row stupidly, and laughed: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." ”

Doctor Pei smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll give you two more ointments, go home and put them on, and make sure you never commit it." ”

"What a living immortal." The rotten leg hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, "My poor family has nothing to repay you, so I can only kneel and make a name for you every day." ”

Doctor Pei said: "This is your fate with me, if there is no fate, even if you give me a thousand taels of gold, it will not be cured." ”

After kowtowing to the rotten legs, he took the plaster happily and ran away. This made the onlookers all praise and amazement, and they all said that it was really strange.

Dr. Pei smiled bitterly in his heart, but boasted on his face: "Don't say that his leg, even if it is half rotten, it can heal him immediately." ”

People were more and more amazed, and an old man squeezed in when he saw this and said: "Living immortals, old man, I am seventy years old this year, these ears are not ventilated, is there a cure?" ”

Doctor Pei said loudly: "It's easy, I'll give you two pills, take them directly, and then give you seven pills, take one pill every other day when you go home, don't go out, sit quietly at home for half a month, make sure you can hear." ”

"Thank you, thank you." The old man took the medicine, wrapped the pill in his arms, and went happily.

Soon, one passed two, two passed three, and the fame of "living immortals" spread out in a short period of time, and there were so many people who heard the news that they couldn't open it.

Just as the scene was chaotic, Dr. Pei said: "I am here every day, sent to the hospital for three days, I have something to do today, please come back tomorrow morning." ”

There were many people who had the attitude of trying it and wanted to ask the doctor to buy medicine, but Dr. Pei deliberately refused, put away the signboard and Li Yijing and left, leaving everyone everywhere to spread the word about this miracle.

The man with the rotten leg really asked for a letter of incense, and came to the street to praise the miracle of the living gods. So, the pedestrians who come and go, everyone wants to see the true face of the living immortals, there are people with incurable diseases outside the city, who doesn't want to come here to try their luck with the living immortals? I'm afraid that the living immortals won't come tomorrow, in short, the tea houses, restaurants, streets and alleys are talking about this topic.

At this time, Xu Hao and his guards pretended to be destitute, wandering around the street, and in the afternoon, they heard that everyone was vying for the deeds of living immortals to cure diseases, and smiled with satisfaction, but how difficult it was to find the murderer, it was no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

In the evening, Xu Hao returned to his residence, and although he and Dr. Pei lived together, they were divided into front and back rooms. Dr. Pei and Li Yi had already returned, and when they saw him coming, they did not talk to each other, and they knew each other tacitly.

After a while, others came to Xu Hao one after another to reply, this morning's person with rotten legs was naturally Zhao Jia, because there were locals present who were not good to talk to, took incense and kowtowed at the door, and said, "Thank you for living immortals." ”

Someone asked, what's going on? Knowing that the outsiders in the boarding room have the ability to come back to life, the doctor is already respected, and now, needless to say, the host's intention is stammering, and the neighbors have come to deliver food, which is very courteous.

In the evening, the boss of the fast-catching black who lived in the inn next door asked Xu Hao: "Son, we ran a trip today, and we couldn't get any news." Where do you guess the killer is? Isn't this kind of blind visit fishing for the moon in the sea? ”

Xu Hao said: "Don't worry, there should be a settlement in six or seven days, go and rest." ”

Because Xu Hao is a distinguished guest of the county lord, Boss Wu didn't dare to say anything more, but he was very puzzled in his heart, secretly saying that a layman pretended to be a ghost, eighty percent was to cling to the master, and he really visited the murderer, naturally the blind cat met the dead mouse, and he couldn't visit, even if there was no merit and hard work, can the master not remember it in his heart? Sure enough, a reader is a good calculator.

Seeing that it was still early, Boss Wu said that he wanted to be respectful, turned around and slipped away to the street for a walk to relieve his boredom.

Xu Hao, who had nothing to do, also came out for a walk, facing the cool night breeze, stopping on the street from time to time to listen to people's conversations. After crossing an overpass, he saw a teahouse at the mouth of the alley, selling tea at the bottom and wine upstairs, and the guests came and went, and it was very lively, so he walked in.

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw Boss Wu and his two subordinates drinking and eating meat, and when I saw Xu Hao, I was a little embarrassed and hurriedly stood up.

Xu Hao glanced at them, told them not to move, and walked to the empty table in the corner and sat down.

The runner came over and wiped the table and asked, "What kind of wine did the guest officer order?" ”

Xu Hao said: "Choose four dishes of delicious and authentic side dishes, and a pot of local rice wine." ”

"Okay!" The runner poured tea and went away.

In this way, Xu Hao and the two of them slowly ate and drank, and Boss Wu also put his mind at ease, turned his head, and said disdainfully to his subordinates: "See, he is also a master who will enjoy it." ”

Wu Er, a subordinate, said: "The person who the master has to visit in person, can his identity be noble?" But along the way, it is rare to see Xu Ye and us eating the same and sleeping the same! I admire such people, who are approachable without taking a stand. ”

Another subordinate said on Thursday: "Big brother, don't offend him, the younger brother's eyes are the sharpest, then Xu Ye don't look at dressing up and dressing up is nothing special, his speaking demeanor is by no means idle, he is obviously a master, and listening to his accent, he is from the capital, he must be a child of a family." ”

Boss Wu said, "Don't I know this? Didn't you see that I was polite to him, but obeyed? In his heart, he was secretly shocked, it turned out that he went to the countryside on an errand a few days ago, and was sent on the ship as soon as he returned. On the same ship, it is inconvenient to ask his subordinates about the reason, but now he has figured out the situation, but fortunately, he did not offend others recklessly.

Here Xu Hao listened attentively to the tone of the drinkers, in addition to some messy conversations, some people said how the living gods worked, and some said that a newcomer from the north could sing the Beijing tune.

Suddenly, I heard someone behind me say: "Old Niu, there is such an unjust thing in the world." ”

"What wrongs?"

"Don't you know that Wang Fu, who sailed in our county, fought a death lawsuit? Asked if he had become a capital offense and was on death row. ”

Xu Hao's expression remained unchanged, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, there was naturally no such coincidence in the world, but the people who were released in advance secretly guided it, but they were caught up by the three of Wu Boss Coincidentally. (To be continued......)
