It was a lucky day for Tang Mu Qing and a tired day for Jiang Lian City.
He woke up early in the morning to go with the team. Although he could sit on the goods truck because of Old Li's care, the bumps of the day still left him with a face full of dust.
After taking a bath in Peace City and changing his clothes, Old Li brought Jiang Liancheng to the residence of the recruitment team's captain.
In order to not cause too much trouble, Old Li just said that Jiang Liancheng was his nephew and wanted to go to Liangzhou to seek help from his family. After a round of praise and two silver ingots, the captain naturally agreed.
On the second day, Jiang Liancheng followed the increasing number of people as they headed north. However, the person who had looked after him had changed from Old Li to Old Li's "old acquaintance". It would take a day to travel from Fuan City to Peace City, but it was closer to Huai An City. They had left in the morning and arrived before long.
When the team arrived at the city gate, Jiang Liancheng heaved a sigh of relief. Yesterday, he had bounced on the carriage and didn't have a good rest at night. If it weren't for his sturdy body, he would have died long ago.
The massive group of several hundred people was led to the city by the captain of Peace City. Aside from the captain and Jiang Lian City, only a few soldiers responsible for buying food along the way and carrying a horse carriage entered the city. The rest were brought by a team of soldiers to the temple near Huai An City, where they would stay tonight.
Jiang Liancheng followed the captain who was invited to the yamen by the County Magistrate of Huai An City. The captain simply introduced Jiang Liancheng as his friend's nephew, and seeing that the captain and County Magistrate were about to have a chat, Jiang Liancheng left his room with the excuse of going out to get some fresh air.
He asked the constables in the yamen where the snacks in Huai An City were the most distinctive and interesting thing. The constables saw that he came here together with the guests invited by the magistrate, so they introduced Huai An City to him very patiently.
When Tang Mu Qing woke up in the morning, she put all of her belongings — her clothes, her backpack, and twenty copper coins — into the backpack she had sewn for her last night.
Before putting the copper coin into her bag, Tang Mu Qing used her hand to shake the weight of 20 copper coins, it was quite heavy. Originally, she had earned a total of ten copper coins yesterday and the day before yesterday. However, this morning, when she squatted down by the well to wash her face, the shopkeeper had given her a small purse with ten copper coins.
Coincidentally, there were also a few more medicinal ingredients that were sent today. After Tang Mu Qing finished her breakfast, she started her work on the medicinal ingredients again. When Little Six heard from the shopkeeper that Tang Mu Qing was going somewhere else to work, he felt quite upset. However, when he saw that Tang Mu Qing was in a good mood, he didn't say anything. After dinner, he saw Tang Mu Qing working in the backyard. He thought that if he could learn a bit more, he would just squat beside Tang Mu Qing and ask a few questions about handling medicinal herbs.
In the evening, two constables came to see Manager Liu and said that it was the magistrate who wanted to see the "capable" doctor to go to the yamen.
The shopkeeper turned around and signaled Lil 'Six to call for Tang Mu Qing. Tang Mu Qing, who was helping in the kitchen, was pulled by Lil' Six to a small room in the courtyard. Lil 'Six looked at Tang Mu Qing, who had already packed her bag and was about to leave. He reached out his hand to grab her sleeve and took out a small bag that was hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe.
"This is dried melon personally dried by my mother. She gave it to me the last time she came to see me. I usually don't even want to eat it." I heard the place you're going is quite far, so take it and eat on the way. " After Little Six said this, he directly stuffed the items into Tang Mu Qing's hands, not caring if she accepted it or not.
Tang Mu Qing instantly felt a heavy weight in his hands; it wasn't a matter of affection or anything else. She put the dried melon and the backpack on the table, opened the backpack and carried her across the floor to the satchel. She opened it and took out two beautifully packaged candies.
"This is the only food I have left for home, and it's even a knot …" "Where's the candy I sent you when we got married? Here's a gift for you." Tang Mu Qing imitated Lil 'Six and stuffed the candy into his hands. After packing up, he placed the dried melon on the top of his backpack and pulled Lil' Six's hand as they walked towards the hall.
In the infirmary, a constable who was chatting casually looked at the child that Little Six brought back. He looked at Manager Liu with an inquiring gaze, and he nodded to them.
The shopkeeper made Tang Mu Qing stand there and wait. He then pulled the two constables to the side and whispered to them, "I spent a lot of money to invite this Doctor Qing over from the neighboring county. He might be young, but …" He knows how to check the pulse, grab the medicine, and even acupuncture. His ability is something even the doctor who has worked for me for more than 20 years praised. The most important thing is that he's young and can handle all the suffering. You said that you were tired after just a few steps to find an old doctor, so how are you going to go to Liangzhou, right? "
The two officers originally thought that this young man was a little unreliable, but after hearing what Manager Liu said, they felt that he was right.
"Doctor Qing, if there is nothing else, let's leave now." A constable quickly gestured an invitation to Tang Mu Qing.
Tang Mu Qing replied with a "Alright". Although she didn't know where she was going, she was still quite polite when she saw that the two were dressed in the uniform of a constable. She thought they were probably here to work for the government.
Walking out of the door, he looked back and saw that Lil 'Six was still at the door looking at him, so he greeted her. Lil' Six also bowed to her before turning around and entering the room. Only the old doctor who was in the room catching the medicine saw the reddened eyes of Little Six, who had always been strong.
Tang Mu Qing saw that Little Six had returned to the house, so she followed the two constables and continued forward.
The collocation between the three of them was very strange. Usually, the two constables would be able to catch the criminals with ease. The person standing in the middle was not a prisoner who was tied up with a rope. Instead, it was a skinny kid who was wearing clothes that were several yards bigger than himself. He was also carrying a strange bag that was sewn with linen.
Jiang Lian City, who had already played a round in Huai An City, saw this strange combination from afar. Originally, he wanted to go up and have a look, but he found out that a constable was the person he had asked him about at the yamen.
"Quick, big brother, what are you guys doing?" Jiang Liancheng walked forward and held the constable who was asking for directions.
The constable had wanted to reprimand the person who had dared to interfere in the official business, but when he turned around, Jiang Liancheng immediately laughed: "It's the little gongzi! We're bringing Doctor Qing back to the yamen!"
"Doctor Qing?" Jiang Liancheng lowered his head to look at the 'doctor' and saw that Tang Mu Qing was still wearing her weird clothes. He thought to himself: "Was it because I haven't gone out for a long time?" Now, even a child claiming to be a doctor could be trusted?
When Tang Mu Qing raised her head to look at Jiang Liancheng, she saw Jiang Liancheng looking at her with an expression that said "you're a liar". Tang Mu Qing thought to herself: 'This man is really shallow. Haven't I heard that he can't judge a book by its cover?'
At the moment when the two of them disliked each other, the group of four arrived at the entrance of the yamen.
