Early in the morning, an old man riding a mule arrived outside Fushun.
When he arrived at the city gate, the old man stroked his beard and turned around, sighing in a low voice, "The road has been peaceful, the people are healthy, and the thieves and evildoers have fled far away. Qingfeng's contribution in suppressing the bandits has benefited the common people. He is truly a pure and kind person. "
The old man looked at the soldiers guarding the city gate and scolded angrily, "So early in the morning and you are already so listless. You don't stand properly, you don't sit properly. Fushun's border defense has been ruined to this extent. It is hateful and lamentable. The affairs of the world are muddy, the border army officials are all useless! "
The few skinny and weak city guards were baffled by the scolding. They leaned against the wall with their rusty spears, yawning as they watched the old man enter the city, forgetting to collect the city gate tax.
When the old man entered the city, he felt that Fushun was an important border town, the liveliness of the city was not something his hometown could compare to. He rode the mule and asked the passers-by and peddlers how to get to the west of the city. He also asked about Zhou Qingfeng's reputation in the city. He did not only ask one or two people, but he also asked along the way, interacting with people of all trades and nine schools of thought.
When the old man walked to the west of the city, he shook his head and said to himself, "The peddlers and servants are full of praise for Zhou Qingfeng. They say that after he occupied the west of the city, the local ruffians have all disappeared, the bailiffs and officials no longer casually extorted and extorted, the circulation of goods is convenient, prices are a bit cheaper, transactions are also fair. Good governance, this is good governance!
It is just that the scholars are dissatisfied with him, saying that he built the school carelessly, men and women in the same class, is a disgrace to the culture, unscrupulous and shameful. Moreover, he disdains his superiors, does not accept education, does not cultivate literary virtue, will definitely be a big problem in the future. Sigh … it seems that this Zhou Qingfeng is indeed young and frivolous, he does not even have the courtesy to treat the nobles. If he does not have the assistance of scholars, he will not go far in the end!
This old man has come to the right place, I will properly advise him. "
The old man sighed but did not immediately enter the west of the city. He saw that the two teahouses at the intersection were quite lively, so he rode the mule over. The waiter of the teahouse hurriedly came out to greet him. "Sir, do you want to listen to the book? Today, we're going to talk about 'Gao Daniu takes on the fat bandit leader with a spear, and the martial arts school slashes the head of the boorish bandit'. It's a wonderful moment, so it's good that you're here. I guarantee that you'll have an endless aftertaste for the whole morning. "
Huh?
The old man was stunned.
Gao Daniu? Isn't this my silly grandson-in-law? He was actually being used as a storyteller?
The old man's interest was piqued. He strolled into the teahouse. The storyteller came out and slapped the wooden block. Pa! Everyone who was listening to the story perked up.
"The book continues from the previous chapter. The Mu family's young miss is naturally beautiful and intelligent. She and that Gao Daniu have long promised to marry each other. She originally missed her lover and arranged to meet him in the peach blossom forest. Who would have thought that the bandits of the Black Wind Stronghold would suddenly appear? The girl was about to fall into the hands of the bandits. When Gao Daniu heard the letter, he immediately bristled with anger. He wielded a long iron spear and strode over. "
Everyone in the teahouse was engrossed in the story. This kind of story of a poor man hugging a beautiful girl was the most attractive. It was like a poor man hooking up with a fair, rich, and beautiful girl.
But the old man who had just walked in was furious. He stomped his feet and scolded, "Wait … You storyteller is talking nonsense. When did my family's Qiaoling and Gao Daniu promise to marry each other? Our Mu family is also a literary family. The women in our family are all educated and reasonable. They know their place and have never done such a disgrace to our family. "
The sole of a shoe flew over and smashed into the storyteller's face.
Usually, when this story was told, the entire teahouse would cheer. But today, there was a shoe sole. The storyteller stood behind the table and didn't understand what had happened. There was a shoe print on his face. The waiter in the teahouse also hurried over to stop him. "Hey … You old man, you're so unreasonable. How can you hit someone? This is the Zhou family's old master's territory. If you keep acting like this, I'm going to call the yamen runners. "
"Bullsh * t, bullsh * t." The old man was so angry that his eyebrows and beard were trembling. "Just to earn some money, you're making up stories behind other people's backs. What's the difference between you and a woman who gossips? Don't you have any shame? I don't want to listen to your stupid book anymore. "
The old man didn't even pick up the shoe he had thrown and walked out of the teahouse angrily. Coincidentally, he heard someone in another teahouse across the street telling a story. The seats were also full and the atmosphere was lively. He subconsciously walked over to listen to what this person was saying. But the first thing he heard was, "Miss Mu is thinking of her lover, and Master Mu has a good eye for a good son-in-law."
He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. The old man took off the other shoe and threw it over with a howl. The teahouse across the street was also noisy. The people who were listening to the story were laughing. Seeing the old man whose face was red with anger, they were very confused. What had happened?
The two shoes were thrown here and there. They couldn't get them back.
The old man was angry for no reason. He led his mule to the intersection of West City Street. Seeing a patrolling yamen runner, he asked with a straight face, "Is Gao Daniu here? Ask him to come out and see me. I'm his wife's grandfather. "
Thanks to the publicity of the two teahouses at the intersection of Baijie, Gao Daniu was now a household name. As soon as the old man reported his identity, the yamen runner didn't dare to neglect him and quickly invited him to the Lin's Inn. Coincidentally, Zhou Qingfeng and the others had moved to Li Yongfang's house to work. The inn was completely transformed into a hospital, with more beds, nurses, and even doctors.
Sun Ren, who was the director of the hospital, heard that Gao Daniu's relatives had come. He quickly came out to welcome them and sent people to take care of them. "Are you Master Mu?"
"I'm not a master. I'm just a private school teacher in the countryside." The old man was angry when he opened his mouth. "You street storytellers keep making up stories about our Mu family behind our backs. Why don't you do anything about it?"
"Yes, yes, yes … It's inevitable that we make mistakes in our work. I'll tell the yamen runner on the street about what you said and let them ask what's going on." Sun Ren was polite to the old man. She didn't know how Gao Daniu got married, but she really didn't care about it. "Sit down first and calm down. I'll send someone to tell your granddaughter right away."
The old man was Mu Sinian, the one who had once boosted Zhou Qingfeng's morale and cheered him on. He was also the one who married his granddaughter to Gao Daniu. Xu Bing's model village was the village he was in. The old man had actually been paying attention to Zhou Qingfeng. Recently, he heard that Zhou Qingfeng had returned to Fushun. He had a lot of ideas in his mind, so he thought about coming to offer his assistance.
Who knew that when Old Mu arrived at the west side of Fushun, he had a bellyful of anger. He had been working in the hospital for a long time, so he naturally stood up and wandered around. It was fine if he didn't wander around, but once he wandered around, he found that the west side of the city was different.
"The road is flat and clean, without any mud or pits. It's comfortable to walk."
"The pedestrians on the street walk calmly and have a lot of smiles. It's obvious that life is good, and well-off families can be seen everywhere."
"The ancients said, 'You know etiquette when you have enough food and clothing when you have enough honor and disgrace.' Zhou Qingfeng has only governed this place for a few months, but the west side of the city is actually so prosperous, which is rare in the world. It's a pity that this talent can't be used by the country. Sigh … Even if it's used by the country, it's bound to be in the same boat. It's better to start my own business. "
Old Mu first wandered around the street, then looked back at the hospital, only to find that the most unusual place in the west side of the city was actually here. He saw a few injured people changing their dressing, so he went forward to take a look. He was surprised to find that one of the people's chest was split open, and the wound was more than a foot long, but such a serious injury was actually stitched together with a few thin ropes.
"This, this, this is also possible?" Old Mu had only seen people sewing clothes and sewing corpses, but he had never seen someone sewing a wound. "This person can still live?"
"Yes." The nurse in charge of taking care of him turned back and replied, "Our Doctor Zhang is a national medicine expert. He can even cut open the abdomen and remove the carbuncle, so isn't stitching a small matter? Moreover, the injured person's injury isn't serious, he was just stabbed in the chest by a short axe, but the organs weren't damaged, only two ribs were broken. "
With the previous appendicitis surgery, Zhang Yueling could be said to be famous everywhere. All the nurses in the hospital looked up to him and felt honored to be able to work with him.
But to Old Mu, this matter was too strange — being stabbed in the chest by a short axe was' only '? If it was any other place, he would have died from excessive blood loss.
Old Mu really didn't believe it, and looked carefully at the injured person's chest — it was indeed still rising and falling, he wasn't dead!
"Your Doctor Zhang is not only a national medicine expert, even the living Hua Tuo wouldn't be able to do this." Old Mu shook his head slightly, and asked again, "This suture looks familiar, what's so special about it?"
"This suture is the boss's skill, but this is silk thread on the outside, it's said that there's a kind of top secret inside the wound. Someone asked about it, and was even reprimanded by Doctor Zhang. "The hospital nurse didn't have any sense of confidentiality, and casually answered Old Mu's question.
"Godly skill, truly a godly skill." Old Mu felt that his horizons had been broadened, and couldn't help but praise, "Your Doctor Zhang will definitely go down in history, and his name will be passed down for generations to come. I wonder what this Doctor Zhang's name is, this old man would really like to pay him a visit and learn from him in person. "
"Of course, Doctor Zhang Yueling is a good person, it's not difficult to meet him. But he did a few surgeries yesterday, and is extremely tired. I heard that he hasn't gotten up yet. If there's nothing important, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. "The nurse said." If there's something important …. "
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, this old man is a reasonable person. Doctor Zhang is tired, so naturally he needs to rest well. " Old Mu waved his hand, and looked at the injured person lying on the bed, and felt that he was quite young, and asked again, "This must be the legitimate son of some big family in the city, right? Otherwise, it would be difficult to invite Doctor Zhang. "
The nurse grinned, "Hey …. What legitimate son of a big family, this is the main soldier under our boss. Yesterday, a group of female bandits came outside the city, and attacked the border. Our boss brought people to defend against them. These injured people were all injured in the battle, and were hurriedly sent here for treatment. "
"A soldier from a military family?" Old Mu was really shocked, "This kind of person can actually be treated so well?"
The nurse lowered her voice and said, "They're not from a military family, it should be said that they're servants raised by our boss. But they're different from those servants of the officials, they don't have those bad habits, and they dare to fight and fight, they're all good lads. Oh right, you're Platoon Leader Gao Daniu's relative, right? Aiyo, Platoon Leader Gao is considered quite famous here. "
The nurse gave him a thumbs up, and even Old Mu felt a little uncomfortable. When he married his precious granddaughter to a poor soldier, he regretted and hesitated the next day. This was because the status of a soldier these days was extremely low. If it wasn't for the fact that he felt that Zhou Qingfeng would definitely have a bright future, he would probably hate himself for impulsively marrying off his granddaughter. But now it seemed that this Gao Daniu was quite promising.
