As soon as Zhang Shennong asked this question, before Su Ling could reply, Zhang Zhiyue blushed with embarrassment and cried out in a sweet voice: "Grandpa, why are you so shameless... How could you possibly mention your own granddaughter?"
The reason for taking out food? Besides, when did I say I wanted to marry him? He is so sick that he gets sick every three days, and I am afraid that I can’t even take care of him."
Zhang Shennong laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Now that Su Ling has washed his muscles and strengthened his bones, I am afraid that it will be impossible for him to get a minor illness or disaster in the future. Why don't you want to, Ah Yue?"
Before Zhang Zhiyue and Su Ling could answer, they saw a person walking hurriedly at the entrance of Fei She Valley. He was dressed in rags and looked like an ordinary person who had lived a very hard life. He was about forty years old, but he was as skinny as a stick.
Both eyes are dull.
When he saw Zhang Shennong, he took two steps, turned his head and bowed: "Mr. Zhang...Mr. Zhang, save me!"
Zhang Shennong was startled at first, and then realized that this was a commoner on the edge of Nanzhang County, named Deng Wu. When he saw him kneeling at his feet, tears streaming down his face, he looked extremely miserable.
Zhang Shennong helped him up and asked Zhang Zhiyue to pour him a glass of water. After he drank it, he asked: "Deng Wu, why did you come to my Flying Snake Valley?"
Deng Wu still cried and said: "Miracle doctor, please save my son. My son Deng Xuan is about to die. He is only nineteen years old. He studies hard all day long and writes well. He fully expects to win a prize this year."
I have some hope of becoming a scholar, but..." As he spoke, he burst out in sadness again.
Hearing this, Zhang Shennong frowned, paused and said: "Deng Xuan was just weak and sick, and he studied hard day and night, so he had that frail disease. Didn't I already see it for him some time ago?"
You were sick, and I prescribed medicine for you. My Shennongtang also let you take medicine for free. I asked you the day before yesterday and you said you were fine. Why are you almost dying after not seeing me for two days? "
Deng Wu cried and said: "I don't know. He was fine the day before yesterday. A few nights ago, he said he had a headache and dizziness. I thought he was tired from studying, so I asked him to rest early, but he didn't lie down until the next day.
He couldn't get up. Seeing that after noon today, he had half a breath left, and now he is lying on the bed. I'm afraid something is wrong. Doctor Zhang, please show mercy and save him."
Zhang Shennong pondered for a moment, then stood up and said: "With my prescription, it is impossible for this situation to happen. I haven't seen him yet, so don't panic. Take me to have a look. Maybe there is still a chance of salvation." Suddenly.
He seemed to be remembering something, and said with a confused look on his face: "If such a big thing happens, will your relative Deng Fang have anything to do with it?"
Hearing this, Deng Wu said with hatred in his eyes: "Although what Doctor Zhang said is true, I am also a member of the Deng family. However, the Deng family are all country squires or prominent figures in Nanzhang County. They cannot live like me."
How can we take care of the poor relatives who have gone down? During the day today, I collected a few coins and bought gifts to beg Deng Fang. I never thought that he would instruct his evil slaves to throw out all my gifts and drive me out. Before leaving,
He also said, since you have the magic doctor Zhang, why bother to ask him..."
Zhang Shennong suddenly filled his chest with anger and said coldly: "The doctor's kindness is in vain. Deng Fang is also one of the principals of Shennong Hall. Although he has some issues with me, he never thought that he would be so cold-hearted. Don't panic, Deng Wu. Deng Xuan's
I'll take care of the illness to the end!" He walked into the medicine hut, picked up the medicine box, and hurried away with Deng Wu. Before leaving, he told Zhang Zhiyue that if Deng Xuan was seriously ill, he might not return to Feishen Valley tonight.
.
After Zhang Shennong left, Su Ling and Zhang Zhiyue were also a little worried. The food on the table was tasteless, but Du Heng ignored it and ate a lot.
Seeing the worried look on Zhang Zhiyue's face, Su Ling asked: "Sister Zhiyue, the old man just went to see a doctor, there is no need to worry."
Zhang Zhiyue sighed and said: "You don't know the reason for this. If an ordinary family has a patient, I naturally won't worry. It's just that the patient's surname is Deng..."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Su Ling wondered: "So what if my surname is Deng?"
Zhang Zhiyue sighed again and said: "You have only been here for more than a month, so naturally you don't know the inside story here. Do you know that there are four major families in Xinglin, Nanzhang County?"
Hearing this, Su Ling shook his head and said, "Four major families?"
Zhang Zhiyue nodded and said: "Yes, they are the four best medical people in Nanzhang County and their family members, namely the Deng family, the Wu family, the Qi family and our Zhang family. These four families all have superb medical skills.
The heads of the four famous families in Nanzhang County, after discussion, raised money together to open a medical clinic in Nanzhang County, Shennong Hall, which is the main hall of Nanzhang County Medical Clinic. My grandfather is Shennong.
The chief of the main hall of the hall also opened a branch hall of Shennong Hall with their own surnames. Their original intention was to take care of each other and better provide medical treatment to the people who had no money to see a doctor. A few years ago, my father and mother
When I was alive, several big families lived in peace and harmony, and they often traveled around to compare their skills. Of course, my grandfather and father's medical skills were recognized as the best in the entire Nanzhang County."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiyue looked quite proud.
Su Ling nodded and said, "Isn't this great?"
Zhang Zhiyue sighed: "As time goes by, people will change. My father and mother are alive and well, but in the past few years, my father and mother... I and my grandfather were the only two people left in the Zhang family.
My doctor is kind-hearted, and he has always adhered to his duty as a doctor. He treated people with diseases, and even received very little money. Sometimes when he saw poor people, he even waived the money for medical treatment and medicine, and those three
The family was fine at first, but over time, the fees for consultations and medicines became more and more expensive. Naturally, the business was not as good as it was day by day. In addition, their medical skills were not as good as my grandpa's, so I went to their branch to have a look.
There are fewer and fewer people getting sick, and now there are very few people around."
Su Ling sighed: "They did it themselves, they can't blame others."
Zhang Zhiyue smiled bitterly and said: "It would be great if they really thought like you, but they didn't know how to reflect, and they were jealous of my Zhang family. They made some small moves and made some rumors at the beginning, but I just turned a blind eye.
One eye followed them, and now it has become more and more serious, and even told them that people from the three major families are not allowed to come to my Zhang family or the main hall of Shennong Hall for medical treatment, otherwise they will be erased from the family tree."
Su Ling frowned when he heard this, and Du Heng, who had almost eaten, interjected: "This is too much! These families use their power to bully others, and they are almost the same as our Chengjia Village in Sanhe Town!"
Zhang Zhiyue said again: "If that's all, I can't bear it. It's just people with the surname Deng, people surnamed Wu, and people surnamed Qi. The world is so big, how can it be that everyone has these three surnames? But, you guys
A few days before we arrived at Flying Snake Valley, everyone headed by Deng Fang, the head of the Deng clan, the Wu clan, and the Qi clan called everyone to hold a meeting. Grandpa and I also went. At the meeting, they relied on the strength of the crowd.
The crowd forced my grandpa to give up his position as the chief of Shennong Hall. My grandpa argued hard, but they also wanted to cause trouble and hurt people. The people of Nanzhang County found out about this, and they all turned against my grandpa. They also knew the public sentiment.
It’s strictly forbidden, and I released Xiaoqing, which scared them so much that they rolled over and crawled, so I gave up.”
"Is there still this section?" Su Ling heard this and felt even more sorry for Zhang Zhiyue. In this mountain, this girl whose parents have died spends all day with snakes. There is only this elderly grandfather in the family, but she has never
I felt lonely and sad. That day in the Forest of Ten Thousand Snakes, her dancing and flute music, how could they be so moving if it weren't for the deep love for all things in the world.
Su Linghu held Zhang Zhiyue's hand and said: "Sister Zhiyue, don't worry, the past was before and the present is now. Du Heng and I will never let others bully you and grandpa!"
Du Heng also waved his fist and said: "Those talented people who dare to come here to cause trouble will have a taste of my fist!"
Zhang Zhiyue did not dodge and let Su Ling hold her hand. Her eyes were full of tenderness and she said softly: "Thank you, Su Ling."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
.”
Su Ling comforted her and said, "The Deng Wu family is extremely poor. Deng Fang, the patriarch of the Deng family, no longer regards them as members of the clan. You don't have to worry too much."
Zhang Zhiyue nodded.
There was no conversation all night. The next day at dawn, Zhang Shennong came back in a hurry, took some needles and medicinal materials, and then left again. He didn't even bother to say a word. Looking at his frown, it seemed that Deng Xuan's illness was really serious.
.
Zhang Zhiyue felt strange that Deng Xuan had seen it herself. According to the medicine prescribed by her grandfather, he would not be so dangerous repeatedly. Seeing her expression, she was very worried. He was old and if he overworked, he might be in trouble.
Sooner or later, the body cannot bear it.
While eating at noon, Su Ling and Zhang Zhiyue said: "Zhiyue, don't worry anymore. Nanzhang County is not far from here. After we have dinner, we will go to Deng Wu's house to have a look. It will also allow Grandpa to rest.
You feel at ease too."
"Yes, yes, I have been in this valley for more than a month, and I have been feeling depressed. It is just in time to go to Nanzhang County to have a look. I have heard that Nanzhang County is a big county. Now I can go
It’s gone around.”
Su Ling rolled her eyes at him and said, "Du Heng, we are here to help Mr. Zhang. If you want to go shopping, you can go shopping by yourself."
Du Heng then scratched his head and smiled.
The three of them were about to eat when they suddenly saw a person walking hurriedly from the mouth of the valley in the distance. As they got closer, they realized that it was a girl about the same age as Zhang Zhiyue, but Zhang Zhiyue recognized her. She was the tofu pudding seller at the Nanzhang County market.
A-Xian said hurriedly: "A-Xian, why are you here?"
A-Xian pulled Zhang Zhiyue and said with a panicked expression: "A-Yue, come with me to the Nanzhang County Government Office. Your grandfather will put Deng Xuan to death. Now the Deng clan has joined forces with the Wu and Qi clans to kill your grandfather."
Report it to the government, and the county governor is taking your grandfather for trial in court!"
"What -" Zhang Zhiyue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and fell down on the stone bench. She looked at Su Ling in confusion and asked in panic: "Su Ling, what should I do?"
Su Ling hurriedly came over and held Zhang Zhiyue's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, I have a plan!"
As he spoke, he turned back to Du Heng and said, "Du Heng, hitch a carriage and let's go together."
"Okay!" Without saying a word, Du Heng quickly hitched the carriage. Before leaving, Su Ling said again: "Du Heng, take your simple knife and hide it so that no one finds it. Maybe you can send someone in."
use!"
The three of them and A-Xian got on the carriage. Du Heng raised his whip and hit the horse's buttocks. The carriage turned and galloped towards Nanzhang County.
Along the way, Zhang Zhiyue burst into tears anxiously. She was a girl after all, and she had already panicked. She only held Su Ling's hand tightly without saying a word.
Su Ling couldn't bear it, so she gently held Zhang Zhiyue in her arms, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said softly: "Don't worry Zhiyue, I will take care of everything! Su Ling will be there for all big things."
As he spoke, he looked deeply at the mountains outside the carriage window, but his eyes were extremely calm.
Zhang Zhiyue looked at Su Ling's face and suddenly felt infinite warmth.
This young man really was his own world. She snuggled tighter in his arms.
Su Ling looked at the mountains outside the window and began to think in her heart. According to Zhang Shennong's methods, she was already registered with the Lord of Hell. He could heal people and it was definitely impossible to put them to death. She also thought of Zhang Shennong and Deng Wu.
During the conversation, Deng Xuan was actually well, but his condition suddenly worsened. This was too unreasonable. In addition, Zhang Zhiyue told him about the conflicts with those big families. Su Ling already felt that things were definitely not what they seemed on the surface.
It's as simple as dying.
If it was true... Su Ling's heart became heavy.
If things really go as he expected, then Zhang Shennong, Ah Yue and himself will really be in big trouble!
