Chapter 141: The Charming Beauty of the Lord of War (29)
After Shen Huai wrapped it up, the doctor immediately came over to chase him away.
"Hurry up and hurry up, don't delay me closing the door."
Shen Huai didn't care about others, put down a piece of silver, hugged Ji Ning and prepared to leave.
"Take it away, take it away, I'm in a good mood today, and the medicine is free for this delicate girl."
Shen Huai still wanted to insist, but an old man who came in stopped him.
"Don't give it up, it's useless. Dr. Liu's son eats, drinks, whores and gambles all day long. He has learned badly from those people in Neighboring Ghost Village. Every day, old man Liu will take away some of the medicine fees he collects, and sometimes he will be beaten. So now old man Liu doesn’t charge any money if he doesn’t.”
Ji Ning did not expect such a thing to happen.
"Those people just now?"
The old man shook his head helplessly, "It's his incompetent son, alas, nothing to say."
"Okay, old stubborn donkey, I'm not dead yet, if I want to babble, take it to your house, don't bother me."
Dr. Liu came over to chase people away.
By the way, he threw two medicine bottles into Shen Huai's arms.
"The blue one is for this girl, and the white one is for you to take internally."
Before Shen Huai could ask clearly, Doctor Liu pushed them out and closed the door.
The old man Niu shook his head, looked at Shen Huai and asked, "The young man is not from the local area, where are you going?"
Shen Huai didn't talk much, and Ji Ning answered instead, "We are going to ascend to the imperial court to go to relatives, and there is no means of transportation for traveling all the way, so when we pass here, we think whether we can buy a horse."
Hearing Ji Ning's words, the old man Niu waved his hand, "Don't talk about horses, even pigs can't be found."
Shen Huai heard something wrong.
Seeing the haggard looks of the people around him, Shen Huai asked aloud, "Did you encounter any problems?"
The old man Niu sat on the steps in front of the medical hall.
Simple and honest, he wiped the steps next to him with his sleeve, motioning for Shen Huai to sit down.
Shen Huai spread the half of the robe that he cut off earlier on the floor, and let Ji Ning sit down.
He was standing behind Ji Ning.
The old man Niu spat, and cursed angrily, "It's not the son of a bitch from Neighborhood Village, and I don't know who they provoked. A group of people with strong martial arts came to the town a month ago and used a Shi Chen took away all the walking animals here."
Ji Ning and Shen Huai looked at each other.
The group of people mentioned by Old Man Niu should be the ones brought by Shen Chen in time.
As for taking away those livestock, it must be for the convenience of transporting the woman captured by Shen Chenye.
Having said that, another person also came up.
"They not only took away the animals, but even some pretty little girls were taken away by them."
They are all honest people.
How could it be possible to fight against those vicious people.
Some people were brutally killed in order to protect their daughters.
Not to mention those old people who have trouble walking.
Ji Ning looked around, and all she could see were elderly people.
"What about the rest?"
If a woman is taken away, even the man will not follow her away.
Who knows, old man Niu confirmed Ji Ning's conjecture.
"I don't know what the hell those people in Neighboring Ghost Village are doing. They originally threw some money to every home with strong men, saying that they helped them deliver some things, but the men in the town never came back after they went. However, only us half-dead old people are left."
After speaking, the old man Niu turned his head and glanced at the medical hall with the door closed.
"After more than a month, only Dr. Li's son came back a few times, but every time he came back, he came to ask Dr. Liu for money."
Neighbor Ghost Village is a small remote village.
It stands to reason that there is no place to spend money.
But every time Xiao Liu always came to ask for money.
If it hadn't been for Xiao Liu's slip of the tongue last time, none of them would have known that their missing son had been sitting, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in Neighborhood Village.
Although I don't know if it's true or not.
But as time went by, and Xiao Liu came back in a busy way every time, more and more people believed it.
After listening to it, Shen Huai and Ji Ning felt complicated.
Because they know very well what kind of life those people are living in Neighborhood Village now.
For the men there, it can be regarded as a paradise.
But for women, it's like hell.
Ji Ning didn't know how to tell them the real situation of Neighboring Ghost Village.
Because among those people, it is very likely that there are family members related by blood.
But they still chose to stay there.
This made Ji Ning unable to speak.
Shen Huai saw what Ji Ning was thinking, and stroked her head to comfort him.
"Have you ever thought about leaving?"
Now the town is not safe anymore.
After what happened last night, according to Shen Chen's character of greed for life and fear of death, it is very likely that he will go back again.
To a certain extent, the people in Neighboring Ghost Village depend on Shen Chen to survive.
Once Shen Chen never shows up, Neighbor Ghost Village will soon be unable to sustain itself.
At that time, this small town closest to it will become the first choice for Neighboring Ghost Village.
The old man Niu shook his head, looking at the elderly people in front of him, he shook his head helplessly, "They all have one foot in the loess, where can they move?"
Shen Huai knocked on the door behind him.
He knew that old man Liu had been listening to the movement outside.
So I didn't care whether people agreed or not, I opened the door and walked in.
Finding paper and a pen, Shen Huai drew the route from the small town to the frontier based on his memory.
"Go there according to the map, there will be someone to protect you."
Shen Huai took out the jade pendant he carried with him and handed it to Dr. Liu.
Dr. Liu looked at Shen Huai with a complicated expression, and finally shook his head, "I'm not going, what are you doing?"
Ji Ning pointed to the children in the crowd and said, "You feel that you will not have much time to live when you are old, but what about them, they are still young and have not experienced many things. You want them to be like those Like the one who left, was taken away and never returned?"
Hearing Ji Ning's words, several women covered their mouths and started crying.
This month, in fact, they have long regarded life and death in their hearts, and the only thing they can't let go of is these children who have not yet been able to live independently.
Doctor Liu looked at Shen Huai with a complicated expression.
In the end, under everyone's surprised eyes, he gave Shen Huai three heavy knocks, "Thank you, Lord God of War, for pointing us to a clear path."
No one has seen the true appearance of the rumored Lord of War.
But the name of God of War is like thunder.
Hearing Dr. Liu's words, no matter if it was an old man or a child, they all knelt down.
Ji Ning did not expect Shen Huai's reputation to be so loud.
In addition to being shocked, he looked at Shen Huai with a look of fun, "God of War? Shen Huai, Shen Nanjun?"
Shen Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, not only embarrassed, but also a little embarrassed.
He never expected that Dr. Liu would know him.
"Don't do that, get up."
