The Road to Self-Saving of the Mud Bodhisattva
Chapter 45 Tianyuan Town
Tianyuan Town is the nearest town to the Qing Kingdom. The two countries have fought for nearly ten years. This town has been affected by the flames of war all year round, and even fell into the hands of the enemy several times.
It has to be said that this town can still exist to this day, which is also a miracle.
It's just that, years of wars have left all the villagers in the small town, and most of the survivors are women and children. As for adult men and the elderly, due to various reasons, it is basically difficult to survive.
It wasn't until the end of the war that the originally depressed town gradually regained its vitality.Those people who were hiding everywhere moved back to the small town.
And those families that originally only had women and children gradually had more men.
Some of these men came from outside, some were soldiers who had retired from An Guo or were injured and unable to return home, and some were even active-duty officers and soldiers who formed a new family in the small town during the holidays.
And only a very small part of them are the adult citizens of the original Tianyuan Town.
As for whether these men belong to the same family as their current daughter-in-law, probably only they know.
In a chaotic place, there are chaotic laws of survival, even if it is the government, it will not be able to control it for a while.
Similarly, the residents here also have a strong ability to adapt.
After one or two years of stable life, this small town gradually eased up, and the businessmen traveling between the two countries made this small town quickly become lively and prosperous.
On this day, a very inconspicuous carriage came rattling outside the town.
The driver of the cart was a small coachman. The coachman was wearing coarse linen clothes and a bamboo hat on his head, so that people could not see his face clearly.
The speed of the carriage is not fast, and the horse looks very ordinary. Even the carriage looks very simple. It is the simplest kind of shed. Not to mention the decorations, it doesn't even have carvings. At most, it can cover the windshield A little rain shows how crude this carriage is.
Moreover, this carriage is only that big, and the things it can hold are very limited. Even if it is a merchant, it is afraid that it will not be able to produce many commodities.
Seeing this scene, the common people who thought there was something new turned their heads and stopped looking in the direction of the carriage, just thinking it was some fool who wanted to pick up the leak.
After all, after the two emperors signed a peace treaty, they began to encourage everyone to trade.Many people wanted to benefit from Qingguo, so they brought some tea and salt from their hometowns and ran to Qingguo.
And Tianyuan Town is the only way to Qing Kingdom.
Everyone has seen this kind of person a lot recently, and they all look familiar.
Of course, there are a lot of people who want to do business, but not many can actually get there. The vast majority of people can only set up stalls in small towns, sell what they brought, and then buy some things back to sell. It’s a worthwhile trip. .
And no one noticed that the little coachman driving the carriage was not covered by a human face under the bamboo hat.
The carriage gradually came to a stop, and the driver knocked on the door with a whip, and a person came out from the carriage.
Just when the coachman raised his hand, a young man happened to glance in this direction. The man paused, and then he stretched out his hand to rub his eyes as if he was stupid.
The companion next to him pushed him, "What are you doing?"
The young man blinked, raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the carriage, his voice trembling inexplicably, "That man... that man has hair all over the back of his hand!"
The companion looked over there and saw a man stepping out of the carriage.
The man was dressed in a simple green shirt, but there was an indescribable distant temperament in his eyes, which made people instinctively feel a little fond of him when they saw him.
Xu Shi felt the gaze from this side, the man turned his head, smiled and nodded at them.
The companion immediately nodded and smiled.
When the man walked away with the carriage, his companion elbowed the young man, "Are you dazzled? How could that man have hair on his hands?"
The young man scratched his head, feeling a little unconfident, "Maybe I am really dazzled." Saying this, he still glanced in the direction where the carriage disappeared.
It's just that there were too many people coming and going, and the carriage and the two people on the carriage quickly disappeared into the crowd.
So the young man didn't see that when the little coachman driving the carriage looked up, what appeared under the bamboo hat was a monkey's face.
That's right, our monkey brother has been reduced to being a coachman, and it is Chu Xuan who came out of the carriage.
After leaving Liupan County, he stopped and walked all the way, and almost stopped when he saw the village, to help people diagnose and treat for free, and then boiled a pot of medicinal soup to prevent wind and cold, and distributed it to the villagers.
As for the materials consumed, they can be replenished quickly on the road.
Stopping and stopping like this, I gained countless strengths along the way, and it took nearly a year to arrive at Tianyuan Town.
This was once a place of war, and many veterans who were injured or homeless stayed here to make their homes.
Almost all of these people were suffering from unmentionable diseases. Those whose wounds appeared to have healed on the surface, but because of improper treatment at the beginning, caused pain in the scars from time to time, everywhere.
Even those ordinary people who survived, who can say that they don't have any hidden diseases?
These people are sick, but their faces are full of yearning for life. The more ferocious the land, the more flowers of hope can bloom in desperate situations.
These people are often stronger than anyone else, and they also know that life is not easy.
of course……
Such a place is also more chaotic.
Chu Xuan grabbed a child who bumped into him, thinking expressionlessly.
The child was dirty, and when he grabbed him, he bared his teeth and said, "I'm sick! Why are you dragging me! If you don't let go, I'll call someone!"
Chu Xuan didn't care about the child's struggle, turned his arm around casually, and then took back the money bag that the child was holding tightly in the other hand.
Well, his pocketbook.
When the child was found to have lost the purse in his hand, he became anxious and opened his mouth to shout, but Chu Xuan stuck a silver needle at the back of his neck.
So, the child opened his mouth and yelled for a long time, but he couldn't even utter a word, and his eyes finally gradually became frightened.
Chu Xuan smiled, pulled out the silver needle, and said, "Don't do bad things, or you will be speechless."
The child was free, holding his throat with both hands, opening and closing his mouth, but still unable to utter a single word.
Such a strange situation frightened him immediately, and he turned around and ran away.
The few half-sized men who were about to gather around, seeing that the situation was not right, also quickly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared quickly.
Chu Xuan clicked his tongue, but had no intention of catching up.He fiddled with the purse he had lost and recovered, and stuffed it into his sleeves, then asked someone for directions to the shop, and rented a small shop with a backyard.
Tianyuan Town is in a state of disrepair, except for the many vendors, many other industries are missing and waiting to be filled.
Doctors are undoubtedly a very scarce industry.
Chu Xuan rented out the frontage and was tidying it up without even putting up the signboard, when a young man walked past cursing, covering his head.
After walking a few steps, the man turned around again, looked at the shop, then at Chu Xuan, and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
Chu Xuan didn't plan to open it so soon, after all, the shop hasn't been packed yet.
But... Seeing the blood gushing from the man's forehead, he sighed slightly, "Yes, I am a doctor."
The man was overjoyed, and quickly found a stool to sit on, "Doctor, I have a hole in my head, please fill it up quickly."
Chu Xuan: "..." These words are like mending a torn clothes casually.
Chu Xuan thought that he had already understood the toughness of the town residents, and now he felt that this understanding has deepened.
Fortunately, although the man's head was broken, it was not as exaggerated as he said. Chu Xuan inserted a few silver needles into it, applied medicine, tied it up again, and the bleeding basically stopped.
Seeing that the man couldn't help moving around while bandaging, Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, and tightened the cloth around his head by two points.
Youth: "..." He moved his head uncomfortably. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that his head seemed to be two points heavier.He asked a little puzzled, "Doctor...why do I feel that my head is a little heavy?"
Chu Xuan pondered, "Probably an illusion caused by excessive blood loss."
"Oh..." The young man grumbled, and then asked in a low voice, "Well, how much does it cost?"
He asked with his mouth, but his eyeballs rolled around, and he glanced straight at the door.
Chu Xuan: "..." He took a deep breath.He felt that he had a new understanding of the simplicity of the people in the frontier fortress.
He smiled, "It's easy to say, it's only ten copper coins."
The young man who was about to slip away was stunned for a moment, "Huh, just ten copper coins?"
It's not that there are no doctors in Tianyuan Town, it's just that those doctors are incompetent, and the fees are ridiculously high. A small problem costs dozens of copper coins, and this kind of wound is absolutely indispensable to hundreds of copper coins!
But this doctor is very powerful at first glance, a few silver needles stopped the bleeding of his wound, now such a bandage, even the pain is almost relieved.
If he didn't feel that there were too many white cloths on his head, he would probably have ignored the thing that had just been opened.
The young man felt that he was not stupid. Such a doctor was much better than that black doctor at first glance, and the fees would definitely be more expensive.
That's why he thought about slipping away.
Now when the doctor opened his mouth, he only needed ten copper coins, which shocked the young man immediately. He thought it was inconceivable, "Is it really only ten copper coins?"
Chu Xuan smiled, "If you think it's too little, you can give more."
The young man shook his head again and again, "No, no!" He is not a fool, who would think it would be bad if the money he gave away was less?
Speaking of fearing that the stupid doctor would repent, he counted out ten copper coins and slapped them on the table, saying very grandly, "You count!"
Chu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took the copper coins and counted them solemnly, "Well, yes, exactly ten." He put it in his arms with a smile on his face.
The young man was a little embarrassed by his smile, and pretended to be calm and wanted to pat him on the shoulder, "Doctor, you are very good!"
It's a pity that Chu Xuan didn't let him pat, and avoided it calmly.
The young man didn't care, he patted his chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, doctor, you are so skilled and loyal, I will definitely bring my brothers to take care of your business!"
Chu Xuan: "..." He suspected that this man was cursing his brother.
In his line of business, does he need someone to bring brothers to take care of the business?
It has to be said that this town can still exist to this day, which is also a miracle.
It's just that, years of wars have left all the villagers in the small town, and most of the survivors are women and children. As for adult men and the elderly, due to various reasons, it is basically difficult to survive.
