Chapter Fifty-Nine: Grandpa's Flying Book
The medicine saint opened the baggage, took a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and snorted: "Who misses you!" Without you little monkey by my side, I'm very clean! ”
In the past, I devoted myself to the study of pharmaceuticals, and I stayed alone for a few months, and I never felt lonely. Since accepting this little apprentice, he has been asking questions in his ear like a little sparrow all day long. He was really a little unaccustomed to being away for a few days.
Especially when night came, he was alone in the whole courtyard, so quiet that he seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heart beating, and he felt desolate in his heart. When I heard the sound of the "little sparrow" again, it was as if the whole yard had come alive.
"Who did you bring back? Is it reliable? "The medicine saint is afraid that the disciples will be targeted by those who have a heart. There is nothing to covet the pharmaceutical techniques he taught, and the secret skills on his disciples cannot be easily revealed.
Although Gu Ye also felt that this matter was a little strange, but when she bought Aunt Yan, she was really sick and was about to die. No one will use their own lives to let her drill, right? Even if it was a conspiracy against her, she couldn't bear to watch a life pass in front of her.
In her previous life, Ice Cube Face used to say that she was too soft-hearted, and this weakness would cost her her life. But she thinks that as a healer and a pharmacist, if she disregards human life and does not save her, what is the value of existence?
The medicine saint asked her to tell him everything about the purchase of the cook. Although I couldn't find a flaw, I always felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help but tell his apprentice: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, you live in the same room with her, and pay more attention to her." ”
Seeing that the apprentice nodded obediently, he agreed seriously. He smiled and said, "I guess you can come back tonight and let your Aunt Zhang cook more and heat it in the pot." There is hot water in the other pot, so let's wash and sleep early after dinner. ”
At night, Yao Sheng was still not at ease, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. He got up and wrote a note, and the pigeons were released early the next morning. The content of the letter is nothing more than asking Ling Juechen to check the details of the cook.
"Master, your carrier pigeon has flown back again! It can't be that you didn't have enough to feed and came back to beg you for food, right? Gu Ye drank fragrant lean porridge, ate two fragrant and soft flower rolls with the small pickles at home.
Aunt Yan rested for a night, and although her body had not yet recovered, she still got up early in the morning and made a simple breakfast - spinach lean porridge and sesame flower rolls. I have to say that Aunt Yan does have a set of cooking skills, simple food, but in her hands to make a different fragrance. Even Gu Ye, who was picky, couldn't find a trace of fault.
Although the Medicine Saint was wary of Aunt Yan, he was not ambiguous at all when he grabbed the lean porridge with his apprentice. He didn't care about the heat, and buried his head in snoring and drinking the fragrant porridge. Hearing what the apprentice said, he looked up and saw that there was a carrier pigeon parked on the high courtyard wall.
Odd! The carrier pigeons trained in the Hidden Soul Hall have never made a mistake in transmitting military information, how could they turn around halfway? The Medicine Saint didn't care about grabbing food from the apprentices, and beckoned to the carrier pigeon on the wall. Embarrassed, the carrier pigeon was indifferent, still standing on the wall and cooing.
Gu Ye laughed so much that he almost sprayed rice: "Master, your carrier pigeon has a temper tantrum, so I ignore you!" I see, it must be you who have recently deducted people's rations, and the little pigeon has gone on strike! Come, little pigeon, sister will give you corn kernels to eat, come to my sister. ”
Strange to say, the carrier pigeon "cooed" twice, spread its wings, flapped a few times, and landed on Gu Ye's arm.
"Haha...... Master, your carrier pigeon has defected. Gu Ye smiled proudly.
Yao Sheng took a closer look at the carrier pigeon, shook his head, and said, "This is not the one I released in the morning. ”
"Not yours? So who else in this Qingshan Village can train such an obedient carrier pigeon? Gu Ye hugged the carrier pigeon and looked at it again and again. Sure enough, the pigeon was not pure white, and had a pinch of gray feathers on its belly.
"Will you open the letter on its feet and look at it?" Yao Sheng drank all the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, and touched his full belly - he hadn't eaten such a smooth food for a long time.
As soon as Gu Ye hesitated, the master took the pigeon. The Medicine Saint took off the letterhead, and as soon as he read two lines, his face immediately became grim.
Gu Ye put away his laughter and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"Pack your bags, let's go right away!" The medicine saint stuffed the letter into the apprentice's hand, walked back to the house quickly, packed a few changes of clothes, and picked up the medicine box and came out again.
Gu Ye opened the note and looked at it, there were only a few words on it: Ye'er, quickly ask your master to go to the border to help, 100,000 urgent! Look at the signature again, it's Gu Xiao.
Grandfather? He's hurt? You're not going to go to war again, are you? That's not right! The medicine she brought to her grandfather, as long as there is a breath of air, it will not hurt her life! Grandpa can still write letters, it is definitely not his life that needs to be saved, is it his life-saving benefactor, the old general?
Without thinking about it so much, Gu Ye rushed into his room, took out the big medicine box he used for cover, and pulled out the two big strong mules from the stable. When I went out, I didn't forget to tell Aunt Yan: "When my brother comes back from the mountain, you tell him that I went to Yancheng with my master for a medical visit, and I won't be able to come back for ten days and half a month." In our absence, I will trouble you to take care of my brother. ”
"Don't worry, girl, these are what I should do." Aunt Yan saw that the matter was urgent, so she hurriedly responded. But in his heart, he wondered if he should report this matter to his master?
"By the way, your illness has been half cured, so don't take the medicine prescribed by the old doctor. I have a bottle of pills here, two three times a day. In less than three days, you will be cured. You know how to make clothes, right? There are clothes and cotton in the room, so I can make myself two clothes to change into. We're gone, and the family is entrusted to you. After Gu Ye finished speaking, he jumped on the back of the mule, followed the master, and left in a hurry.
Yan Qiutong watched Gu Ye leave, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes: Miss Gu was in such a hurry to go out, but she still didn't forget her physical condition, and whether she had cold clothes, she was really a kind little girl. She was a little resistant to this task, but now she has changed.
Saving lives is like fighting fire. The master and apprentice rushed to the town as fast as they could. The speed of a mule, after all, cannot catch up with a horse. Gu Ye was in the mood to try it out, and knocked on the door of Jimin Hall.
Fortunately, Bai Jingxuan has not left the nameless town yet. He and his entourage rode from Yancheng on horseback. Their horses are not good horses, but they are much better than mules.
After resting overnight in Jimin Hall, the master and apprentice rode on their horses before dawn. The medicine saint has been breaking through the south and the north all over the world over the years, and he still knows the way to the border. The two of them rode fast all the way, changed horses twice along the way, and finally arrived at Junlang Pass three days later.
At this time, a large field of snowflakes fell in the sky. The whistling north wind, whistling and rolling up the goose-feathered snow, rushed towards Gu Ye's face. When I looked up, my eyes were full of withered yellow and withered, and they were gradually covered with snow, which made me look so desolate.
"Hold on a little longer, there will be Junlang Pass ahead." The Medicine Sage's voice was full of exhaustion. After all, he was in his prime, and he couldn't bear to travel so much. Fortunately, his good apprentice was with him, and when he was sleeping, he was always busy before and after, and he also gave him Zhang Luo to eat and drink with his own hands.
Gu Ye: If you don't make it yourself, how can you mix the anti-fatigue medicine into water and food?
Yes, if there is no Gu Ye's medicine, let alone a seventy-year-old man, he is a sturdy young man who gallops on a horse from morning to night every day, and he can't hold on!
Gu Ye looked through the heavy wind and snow, and looked far away. Far from the prosperity and hustle and bustle, there stands an ancient and simple city, like a weathered old man, with the vicissitudes of history, one stop is hundreds of years.
The ancient city wall of Junlangguan is still standing in countless ups and downs. It is like a guard guarding the frontier, always guarding the safety of the people in the pass. Junlang Pass, in addition to the ancient atmosphere of mites, the vicissitudes of time, the dark city wall that has been devastated by the war, is still shining with a terrifying light, like a sword waiting to be unsheathed, which is prohibitive.
"Stop! What people?! In the wind and snow, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate who were standing straight found the whereabouts of the master and apprentice, and asked sharply.
"My grandfather is Gu Xiao, he sent us a letter!" Gu Ye dismounted in front of the city gate, quickly came to the medicine saint's horse, and helped the master off the horse.
Seeing that Master's face was not very good, she hurriedly pretended to take out the water bag from her arms, but in fact, she took the water bag out of the space: "Master, I'm tired." Take a sip of water! ”
The Medicine Saint took the water bag and gulped down the warm boiling water. The water was poured in the inn in the morning, and it remained warm in the cold wind for a whole day, and the medicine saint couldn't bother to explore the reason. After drinking half a bag of water, a warm feeling rose from the abdomen and reached the whole body. The limbs that had been frozen were flexible again.
"It's the doctor General Gu invited! Open the gates of the city quickly, and welcome them in. An officer and soldier who looked like an adjutant general at the head of the city hurried down from the city wall and welcomed the people in.
Gu Ye couldn't wait to inquire about his grandfather's news, and learned from the adjutant general that his grandfather had suffered some minor injuries in the last battle in order to save the young general, all of which were skin injuries, and he had recuperated for five days, and he was no longer in trouble. Her heart that had been hanging all the way was completely relieved.
Grandpa's words don't count! promised her not to go to the battlefield, but in a blink of an eye, she left it behind. Gu Ye was puffed up, and his little face was still dark until he saw Gu Xiao!
Gu Xiao couldn't care about coaxing his granddaughter at this time, rushed to the Medicine Sage with an arrow, held his hand, and said earnestly: "Medicine Sage, please use your old man's rejuvenation skills to save the eldest young master!" ”
"Don't talk so much, let's look at the injured first!" The Medicine Saint carried his medicine box and followed Gu Xiao into a room in the courtyard. Gu Ye also carried his large medicine box on his back and followed closely behind the master, for fear of being stopped.
