Chapter 022 Looking for Rice
Yan Nan and Yuan Zheng hurriedly went out through the back door and walked through a dark alley. Outside the wall was the stable.
Jindou was arguing with a post guard next to the carriage, and was so angry that he was thrusting his ears.
"Jindou, what's going on?" Yuan Zheng walked over.
"Master!" Jindou saw Yuan Zheng, his waist was straighter, pointed his hand back, and said indignantly: "This old man and his young man just want to stay in the horse shed for a night, and this military master wants to throw people out! The old man's hair is all white. If your father is driven like this, would you be happy?"
The last sentence is said to the Yiwei.
Yan Nan then realized that in the haystack behind Jindou, there was an old man with gray hair and beard sitting next to him, who was only about ten years old, half-held and wiped tears with his sleeves.
The post guard was entangled with golden beans and grabbed his face and said impatiently: "Look at his appearance, it is obvious that he is suffering from the epidemic. There are too many refugees from the north these days. The city lord issued an order, and no one with the epidemic can be kept."
The child cried and said, "I said, grandpa can cure epidemics, he is only infected by curing people. As long as grandpa wakes up, he can cure himself. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
The post guard waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Have you heard or not, it's the epidemic, just leave quickly! You, you are the only one who will make trouble again, let's go together!"
Epidemic? Yan Nan frowned. She didn't realize until the 21st century that the epidemic that everyone feared for in Daliang was just influenza.
Yan Nan came to the old man and half-squatted down to ask the boy, "Don't cry, talk carefully, what are the diseases your grandfather has?"
The little boy put down his sleeves and looked at Yan Nang with watery eyes: "Can this brother treat the disease?"
"Well, you talk about it first."
"Cough, runny nose, fever, dizziness, fear of cold, well, it's gone." The little boy was serious.
Yan Nan thought, and it was indeed the same as the flu symptoms.
"Your grandpa is sure to cure his illness?" Yan Nang asked.
The little boy nodded and wiped his tears, "Yes, Grandpa has cured many people with this disease. Unfortunately, the medicine has been used up this time. We want to go to the city to prepare medicine, but Grandpa fell down before he could hold on."
Yan Nan didn't think the disease was difficult, but Yuan Zheng felt aroused his heart when he heard it.
After the disaster, I am most afraid of epidemics, especially in the military camps, where violent epidemics are more terrifying than the enemy.
If this old man really has a way to cure the epidemic, it would undoubtedly be a tonic for Daliang Junli.
The Yiwei shook his head and sneered at the little boy's words.
Epidemics are so easy to treat, and everyone will not be able to prevent the epidemic like tigers!
Yan Nan breathed a sigh of relief. The medicine she had on hand could at least help the elderly to relieve their fever. In that case, no matter whether it was an epidemic or not, the elderly could solve it themselves.
She turned around and said to the Yiwei: "Can Junye be able to let their grandfather and grandson stay in our place for a night?"
The guards shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, you are not afraid of death, I am still afraid! With the epidemic at the post station, my head cannot be kept!"
Yuan Zheng walked over and squatted beside Yan Nan, and said in confusion: "You can cure your illness?"
Yan Nan blinked, "I have medicine to wake up this old man."
Yuan Zheng didn't believe in Yan Nan 100%, but he believed in her magical bag.
With his injuries, ordinary herbs may take three days to scab, but her medicine will scab in one night.
Yuan Zheng stood up, "Sir, please allow the grandfather and grandson to temporarily stay in this backyard tonight? This old man is a doctor. If he can save him, he will be considered to have saved many sick people."
"That's it!" Jindou said: "Will you get sick and get diarrhea?"
The guards waved impatiently: "No, no, you can save them if you say you can save them? What if you die at the post station?"
Yuan Zheng couldn't, frowned, "What if the Fourth Master Yuan of the Grand Tutor's Mansion said he could save him?"
The Yiwei was shocked, "Who?"
Jindou slapped his chest, "Taishi Mansion, the Fourth Master Yuan!"
The Yiwei looked at his face, Oh my god, he didn't recognize the prince of the Grand Tutor's Mansion?
I heard that the Fourth Master Yuan was gone, and there was a notice in the city that those who sent the Fourth Master Yuan back home would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!
The guards were a little excited, but when they looked at Yuan Zheng carefully, he looked at that handsome appearance, he really was the person in the portrait?
However, he would rather believe that he had it. He immediately squeezed his facial features and instantly turned into a smile, "Second Master Yuan! Why didn't the Fourth Master say it earlier! Since it is the Fourth Master who wants to keep someone, then stay here first."
After saying that, he ran away like oil on the soles of his feet.
Yan Nan stood up and said worriedly, "You are exposed, is it okay?"
The people chasing them behind are probably about to catch up.
Yuan Zheng looked at Jindou, signaled him to help the old man up, and said lightly: "It's almost time to Kaifeng, it's good to attract it out. I also want to know who those people are."
As the little boy repeatedly thanked him, Jindou carried the old man back to their small side courtyard and set aside a bed to lie down.
Yan Nan opened the makeup bag, found a cold capsule, and then took out a piece of aspirin, put it in a small bowl of water brought by the golden beans to melt.
Let the child help the old man up, pry his lips open, and pour it down bit by bit.
Yuan Zheng stared at her makeup bag again and couldn't move her eyes. When the old man lay down, he asked, "How long has it been since the old man eaten?"
The little boy sobbed: "Two days. Grandpa could barely chew a few bites of cake at first, but now he can only pour water in."
"It's good if we have rice. Drink some rice porridge when I'm sick, and it's going to be cured quickly. Every time I get sick, my sister will make rice porridge for me to drink." Jindou concluded.
Yan Nan looked up and said, "There should be rice in the inn."
"Then let's go and ask for some!" Jindou left and immediately stood up.
Yan Nan and Jindou came to the yard where the post station staff stayed, asked where the management warehouse was located, and found the manager, the post guard, and understood the reason.
The post guard frowned and pointed behind him, "The rice stored in the post station has just been bought by the people from the Pingjin Hou Mansion, so you two might as well find them to go."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone talking.
"It will take six or seven days to go to Kaifeng. If we walk from the mountains, we may not be enough rice. We have to go to the nearby village to collect some."
Yan Nang looked in the sound.
The man in his thirties who looked like a housekeeper was following Yu San, who had just been looking for trouble with Yuan Zheng, and explained in detail.
Jindou heard that all the rice had been bought by these people, so he hurriedly went up and clasped his fists and said, "Brother, life is at stake. Is it feasible to sell our small bowl of rice?"
Yu San was walking forward with his head down, and might as well be stopped by Jindou. He was about to raise his head to speak, and saw Yan Nan beside him, and a sour breath rushed out of his chest: "Isn't this a small official recruited by Master Yuan Si? Why? The people from the Grand Tutor's Mansion still lack rice?"
The little official was not a good thing in the Daliang Dynasty, but specifically pointed to those delicate toys that were held by the young master.
Seeing that Yan Nan's expression and behavior were not like a servant, and her figure was as weak as a woman. Moreover, Yuan Si actually took the bag himself just now. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary servant, so he picked up this word and put it on her.
As expected, Jindou became angry as soon as he heard this. It is OK for others to scold him, but it is absolutely not OK for his master!
