Human dimension reduction

The town is not big, and the Town God's Temple at the entrance of the town is only narrow. As soon as you enter the small courtyard, the stone statue of the City God Emperor collapsed in half, with one majestic eye still glaring at the door. Looking outside the door, Mr. Lang has been out for a while, I don't know if he is back now.

Since he was young, Lang Jun was raised under the knees of his chief assistant. How could he deal with common people like this? If, if...

Ah Gou didn't know what he was worried about, and while thinking drowsily, he hugged the burden in his arms tightly.

This was given to him by Lang Jun before he left for safekeeping. It contained all the things that Xie Zhuo had recorded word by word in the past few months. In Ah Gou's heart, these things were priceless, and he had to keep them carefully even if he risked his life.

Before he could stop his wild thoughts, low voices came from the door, and Ah Gou woke up suddenly. He listened carefully, and recognized that one of them was Mr. Sanlang who had been away for a long time.

"...It was here that he accidentally rolled down the mountain to protect me, and was hit and crushed by heavy objects. Thanks to the help of the good people in the mountain, he was able to come out of the mountain to seek medical treatment. I dare not move him again, please Doctor Zhong bothered..."

"Hey, sir, what you said is too much! It is the job of a doctor to save the dying and heal the wounded. What's more, if it wasn't for the help of the gentleman just now, I might have become a drowning ghost. I just stopped by to see a wounded person. What's the point?" No... I don't know which ignorant naughty kid actually spilled tung oil on the side of the bridge, it's really harmful!"

The two were talking in low voices, a man with a white beard and a coarse cloth gown came in with a medicine box, and saw Ah Gou at a glance: "Well, I'm still conscious, good luck! People who are most afraid of falling down the mountain will faint , I'm afraid it will hurt my mind, and in that case even a genius doctor will be helpless."

The doctor put down the medicine box, squatted down in front of Ah Hook, carefully inspected the injury on his leg, stretched out his hand to press it twice, and nodded: "It's okay, although it looks scary, it's actually a bone injury, and the broken bones will be stitched together and fixed." , it will be enough to raise it for several months, but because of a delay of one day, I am afraid that it will not be able to return to the normal state of action, and the bone-setting pain is piercing to the bone—"

"It doesn't matter." This time it was Ah Gou who spoke, "Please do whatever you can to the doctor. As long as I can walk faster, I can bear any pain."

Hearing this, Dr. Zhong glanced at A-Gou and said nothing, probably because he had heard too much boasting from the patient, so he raised his hand and rolled up A-Gou's sleeve a few times, folded it into a thick piece, and motioned for A-Gou to bite into his mouth Li: "There used to be people who bit off their tongues in pain. If you can't bear it, just bite it."

Perhaps because there is a big mountain nearby, patients with trauma are often sent here. Dr. Zhong is very good at bone injuries. Please Xie Zhuo hold Agou firmly. After cleaning the wound for him, he didn't even blink. Raising his hand, he grabbed the two terribly broken bones and forced them back to their original positions. An inch-high vein suddenly stretched out on Ah Gou's neck, sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall, and his eyes widened. Bloodshot, when the doctor tied the broken leg with cloth strips and wooden sticks and fixed it, and took off the sleeve from Ah Gou's mouth, he realized that he had bitten out a mouthful of blood.

"Good guy!"

Dr. Zhong was really surprised this time. He had seen many people who boasted about Haikou before the bone setting, but this was the first one who was really silent and motionless.

Doctors are always willing to give more care to obedient patients.

So Dr. Zhong asked casually: "Your Majesty, do you have any plans for the future? The town is small, and there are many guests these days. I'm afraid the inn is full. It just so happens that this injury needs to be changed regularly. Why don't you go to my house?" How many days are you going to rest?"

Xie Zhuo immediately hit the snake with the stick, stood up and bowed: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

When walking out with Agou supported, Xie Zhuo asked seemingly unintentionally: "Are there any famous mountains and scenic spots near here? Are there many guests visiting here?"

Dr. Zhong replied without any hesitation: "Hey, what are the famous mountains and scenic spots? There are poor mountains and valleys here in Mobei, and the Dingzhou border is further ahead. It is very dangerous to be close to Beiman. How can anyone come here to visit the mountains and rivers? I don’t know what happened recently, people come and go, the owners of the inn are all happy, I hope they will stay longer.”

Xie Zhuo laughed when he heard the words: "It's also human nature. I admired the pride of the border since I was young. This time I got a chance to sneak out of the house. I didn't expect to encounter danger. If I let my family know, I must worry about it. I will never do it in the future." It will let me out again, but unfortunately the world is so big, but I can't take a full look at it, it's really a pity."

When Dr. Zhong heard this, he consciously understood the background of this gentleman. He turned out to be a rebellious gentleman who was favored by his family. He sneaked out of the house and came out to play. Go back and be laughed at.

So he immediately promised: "Don't worry, stay here, I won't tell others that you are here. It's not too late to leave when this little brother gets better. You can join me for dinner, but it's just an extra bowl." rice thing."

Xie Zhuo showed a somewhat embarrassed smile, like a young man whose thoughts have been seen through and insisted: "Well, I'm actually not..."

Seeing him like this, Dr. Zhong was even happier. He took the two of them to a small house in a secluded street and stopped, opened the door and took them in: "The wing room is still empty. I have a daughter who got married last year. The old wife I died young, and I was the only one in the family, usually empty and desolate, but now that there are two more people, it can be regarded as an increase in popularity."

After he settled Xie Zhuo and the two of them, he hurriedly carried the medicine box on his back and sat down in the hall. Xie Zhuo stood by the door watching him go away, and A-Gou sat on the bed in the room, looking at Mr. Sanlang with blank and strange eyes. back.

Saburo-kun...is he so good at subtle speech?He didn't seem to say anything, but why did Dr. Zhong consciously take them home to live and keep them a secret?

"We'll stay here for a few days, and when your injury recovers, we'll head south."

Xie Zhuo turned his head back, and changed his slightly green tone when he spoke to Dr. Zhong just now, and his voice was calm.

Hearing the commanding tone, Ah Gou instinctively lowered his head and responded, "Yes."

"In the past few days, you don't go out, and I try not to show up—I'm afraid that those who are following me have already arrived in this town."

Ah Gou was startled: "What?!"

"As long as they are not fools, they will know that if they use their horsepower to rush to these pass towns to block us, it will be a matter of time before they are blocked. In broad daylight, they forcibly break into residential houses to search and kill people, so as long as we don't go out, they will find nothing after many rounds of patrolling and waiting, so they will naturally wonder if we have gone the other way."

Xie Zhuo's tone was very calm, as if he didn't think there was anything to be afraid of living so close to a group of killers.

His attitude also made Ah Goo gradually calm down: "Everything is according to your orders."

As he said, everything was calm in the next few days, and there was always noise outside the door. Occasionally, someone came to ask for water and directions. When Dr. Zhong was away, they pretended that there was no one in the courtyard. He went out to deal with it, but nothing happened. The people who came to the door seemed to be pedestrians passing by by chance, and they came quickly and walked away neatly.

On the eighth day, the skin and flesh of the wound on Agou's leg had almost healed, and he could barely walk with a wooden stick. Xie Zhuo and Dr. Zhong went out to see a doctor for a mountain dweller—living in someone's house and sometimes living in vain , not to mention the medicine money of Ah Gou, Xie Zhuo was exiled here, penniless, and the money that Ah Gou brought was not much, and it would have been wiped out after a long time, so Xie Zhuo helped Dr. Zhong to compensate for fees.

After all, the Yushu Zhilan cultivated by Shi Xie's family is not only proficient in medicine, but it is more than enough to be an assistant to a doctor in the countryside. Dr. Zhong also learned many tricks from famous doctors in the capital from Xie Zhuo. He felt like he had found a treasure, and he enjoyed it.

Xie Zhuo got up early to bid farewell to Dr. Zhong, but Dr. Zhong couldn't persuade him to stay, so he had to ask him to accompany him to see an intractable disease of a patient. disease, it can only be left to fend for itself.

Xie Zhuo went out with Dr. Zhong, while Ah Gu stayed at home alone, slowly packing his luggage—it was said to be luggage, but it was actually that bulging baggage.

Suddenly there was joyful laughter outside the door, as if there were many women coming together, they knocked on the door from house to house, and their joyous voices were heard in most of the alley, Ah Gou was startled for a moment, and listened carefully, and found that It was a traveling merchant family who wanted to marry their daughter, and they used this place to hold a banquet. According to the rules of the merchant’s hometown, the bride had to go door-to-door with her female companions to ask for wedding envelopes one day before her wedding. The more money you ask for, the more joy and blessings the bride will have after she gets married.

The two houses next door to Dr. Zhong were empty. The girls knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. After whispering for a while, they turned to this side and started knocking on Dr. Zhong's courtyard door.

A hook showed hesitation on his face.

"Is there no one here?"

"But there are clothes drying at the door, didn't you hear that?"

"This street does not ask for much, if there is no more, it will not be enough..."

The girls' voices were gentle and low-pitched, and the volume was not high, but they could still be heard clearly in the room separated by only one wall.

"Then what should I do...A Wan's aunt's family really value this, if A Wan gets too few wedding invitations, maybe they will be so angry with A Wan in the future..."

Ah Gou couldn't help but stood up, stood by the bed for a while, bent down and took out a coin from the bag.

This is the military money sent back by his younger brother Ah Bei, he gave most of it to Mr. San Lang, and only kept this one as a thought.

But if he can help someone, then Ah Bei should be happy too...

After all, he still remembered San Langjun's instructions, and only opened the door a small gap, enough to reach out with one hand, and handed out the military money, then lowered his voice and said auspicious words according to the custom just now: " A happy marriage for a hundred years."

The military money was taken away, and the girls outside the door cheered joyfully. Ah Gou also smiled slightly as if empathizing with the same experience. He raised his hand and was about to close the door, but a warm and soft hand held it. He touched his wrist: "Thank you, big brother... Sisters, big brother invited us into the house to rest and drink tea."

Ah Gou was taken aback, but before he realized what was going on, the voices of the girls chattered suddenly increased: "I happen to be thirsty, did you bring any fruit?"

"I have a bamboo tube here, which can be used to irrigate water. Brother, where is your water tank? Ah, I see it, thank you brother!"

The clear and clear voices like yellow orioles came and went one after another, covering Agou's questioning, the door was pushed open, and twelve or thirteen young girls rushed in with overly high-pitched and enthusiastic smiles, and the girl walking at the end slowly got together. After closing the door, as soon as they entered, they quickly divided into two teams, one team rushed into the room to check, and the other team kept a close eye on Ah Gou.

In the yard, the bride with black hair in a bun and her female companions slowly formed a circle around Agou, and a cold light of a sharp weapon was exposed under the loose sleeves.

The female companions were still laughing and chatting, the bride tilted her head lightly: "I also want to thank you for the military money, otherwise we don't know when we will find you, maybe we missed it."

A cold and damp feeling attached to Ah Gou's back, his voice was dry and hoarse: "You... are you here to kill me?"

The bride smiled and said, "You have such a big face, you are not worth our search, at best, it is just an extra."

The girls who checked the house came out, apparently finding nothing.

The bride sighed: "Then let's send you on your way first."

The laughing girls seemed to be ordered by the army, their skirts fluttered, and they rushed towards Agou who was surrounded by them.

In the closed courtyard, the sounds of girls laughing and playing are constantly heard. The dull growls and shouts are covered by ups and downs of laughter. Passers-by pass by the door show knowing smiles, as if Such youthful and bright laughter can also bring them back to their lively days.

"Clean up here and wait for our bridegroom to come back."

The bride wiped off the blood dripping from the dagger, and said with a smile.
