"Me! I'll try! "
"I'll try, too!"
"Please help me, sir!" Several patients who were infected with miasma began to shout.
Shen Jianxin nodded and went into the grass with his own hands. His eyes were quick, and he pulled a few more herbs.
Old man Xing took a small bowl, scooped out the glutinous rice in the bag and distributed it to the patient.
It's amazing to say that all the patients who chewed the glutinous rice with grass roots, quickly for a moment, later for a moment, all covered their stomachs and squatted in the grass.
In a short time, the whole grass was full of evil breath. But this is obviously not the point, but the patients after the courtship are all energetic and vigorous.
"This prescription works!"
"It really works! Good man
"I'm fine! I'm all right! I have strength on me again The voice of thanks and praise kept ringing in the crowd, one after another.
In the twinkling of an eye, all the grass roots around were torn away, and old man Xing's glutinous rice bag also came to the bottom.
Even the old doctor Wang secretly pulled out two herbal medicines and hid them in his sleeve when people didn't pay attention to them. After he learned these wonderful prescriptions, they could be passed on to future generations.
At this time, Shen Jianxin added with a smile, "the book says that this kind of eating method can not only relieve the miasma, but also prevent in advance."
Before they finished speaking, the merchants and escorts who were not ill also came up one after another and surrounded old man Xing and Shen Jianxin.
"Wait a minute! Old man Xing's glutinous rice is to be transported to southern Xinjiang for money. You've used it all up. What will he do? " Shen Jianxin lost no time in shouting.
For the sake of survival, people who are not in charge of these things rush forward one after another. If they have silver, they throw it directly. If they have no silver, they throw down their most valuable goods for fear that they will not get a handful of glutinous rice.
For a moment, in front of the two mules and horses of old man Xing, there were all kinds of goods, and the bag of glutinous rice was also full of silver.
Old man Xing was so embarrassed that he waved his hand and murmured, "enough, enough! Not so much! "
With less than a stick of incense, all the ten jin of glutinous rice that old man Xing brought were snapped up. Even if he returned to the capital now, he also earned more than ten times the equivalent of silver, making a lot of money.
The whole caravan was divided into glutinous rice and grass roots. There was a sound of chewing everywhere.
The old doctor Wang had been ashamed for a long time and had to stay away from him.
Liu Guanshi and Kang's deputy chief escort also felt a little shameless. They went back to their own line. In a word, they no longer met the young scholar.
It was Chang Xiue, who was full of curiosity about the erudite scholar and took the initiative to ask him questions.
"Have you studied medicine? How do you know this prescription can cure miasma? " Chang asked.
Shen Jianxin had to explain casually: "half of it is the common sense in the book. Glutinous rice can get rid of poison. The other half is guesswork. Look at those mules and horses. They eat grass every day and have no disease. That's why I think this wild grass may be useful. "
Chang Xiue's eyes brightened when she heard that. For the first time, she threw a smile at Shen Jianxin and said, "I can't see that you are a poor scholar. You are very brave!"
After that, the girl went away, leaving only a shadow on her temples.
Seeing that Miss Chang was willing to talk with the little scholar, the merchants and escorts around him would not talk about it any more. After all, it's someone else's skill. If anyone has the ability to save us, what a beautiful girl would like to talk to him.
After the miasma incident, the caravan continued to walk in the mountains for another two days, then walked out of the mountain forest and came to the plain.
Shen Jianxin was still smiling. Up to now, he didn't feel proud of himself at all. The scattered merchants all respected him and didn't dare to insult him any more.
Old man Xing is always talking about it these two days. He says that he wants to give half of the money to the scholar surnamed Shen. He says that the money from selling rice makes him uneasy.
Shen Jianxin, of course, would not ask for his money. Instead, he always said with a smile, "thanks to old man Xing who brought glutinous rice, otherwise even if he knew the prescription, he would not be able to save anyone.
The merchants also advised old man Xing to put away the silver and goods. They exchanged these things for their lives and would never take them back. He also said that it was God's favor. Old man Xing was destined to have such a windfall. If anyone stopped him, he would be ill.
If old man Xing takes people's rice exchange goods to southern Xinjiang and sells them at a high price, when he returns to the capital, this trip is equivalent to more than five or six trips. Let alone the dowry of his two daughters, it's enough to provide for the aged.
This trip made old man Xing worried about his gains and losses. He even thought in his heart whether he wanted to talk to the scholar surnamed Shen and betroth one of his daughters to him.
Shen Jianxin naturally didn't know the abacus in old man Xing's heart, but he also met the difficulty, that is Chang Xiue, Miss Chang.
Maybe Chang Xiue had never met such a light hearted scholar. When she found out that other people didn't really care about her rather than flirting with her, she aroused a little rebellious psychology in the woman's heart.
These two days, Shen Jianxin always comes to chat with him for an excuse. The content of the conversation is so varied that Shen Jianxin has no time to meditate and breathe.
Fortunately, the caravan finally went out of the mountains and came to the plain.
Once out of the mountain and into Sichuan again, it's even in the south of Xinjiang.
The landscape in front of us is quite different from that in the north.
Looking around, we can see that the terraced fields are built close to the mountains, the wind is blowing, and the rice flowers are fragrant, which makes us relaxed and happy.
It seems that the temperature in southern Xinjiang is higher than that in Northern Xinjiang. It's autumn harvest time. The crops in the field are growing well, but there are no farmers.
When the caravan people were marveling, suddenly came the sound of horse's hooves on the black mud road ahead.
They were two ponies, and there were two knights in cloth. When they saw the caravan, they were surprised. At the same time, they turned their heads and ran away.
Seeing this, the escorts at the front of the caravan burst out laughing one after another, laughing at these nanmanzi for being timid.
The caravan continued along the black mud road under its feet.
Liu, the leader, ordered people to get the map. According to the shape of the mountains and the direction of the road in front of him, he finally figured out where they were.
"Fifty miles ahead is Nanxun city! Let's speed up our steps and work hard to have a rest in the city! "
With Liu manager's loud cry, the whole caravan team picked up their spirits, and the forward speed increased by three points.
"Finally you can enter the city! I've been out of my mind in the mountains these days! "
"Yes, yes! When I enter the city, I will burn a pot of old wine to relieve my fatigue. "
"You little boy, I'm afraid you don't just think about wine! Ha ha
The caravans were in good condition, even more energetic to drive mules and horses.
Less than five miles away, several riders appeared on the ridges on both sides of the road.
These mysterious riders followed around the caravan without hesitation and watched the caravan silently under the cover of the mountains.
All of a sudden, not to mention the escorts of Weiyuan escort agency, even the most common scattered merchants knew something was wrong.
