Chapter 242: The second search for the missing Doctor Cai

At noon the next day, on the plain.

The Taoist passed two more villages. As usual, he only stopped briefly and didn't stay for a long time. Then he walked north along the official road, and the calico cat beside him also followed with small steps.

Suddenly, the cat stopped, its ears stood up, its head turned, and it looked in a distant direction.

This is something cats often do.

Walking on the road, no matter what strange disturbances there are, they will attract her attention.

Cats have different senses and brains than humans, which are used to contact a world that is different from humans.

Only this time she stopped and looked for a while, then turned around and saw that the Taoist had walked a little further, so she immediately ran after him and said to the Taoist:

"Someone is shouting over there!"

"Really? What did you shout?"

"Shout, there are wolves."

"Um?"

Song You followed her gaze.

There seemed to be a real howl of wolves and loud shouts blowing in the wind. They were vague and almost undetectable. If Sanhua Empress hadn't had a keen sense of hearing, even if people had heard it, they would probably have thought it was noise in the wind.

There happened to be a small slope in front of us.

The Taoist and the swordsman both stood on the slope and looked into the distance.

The land is flat, the fields are mostly barren, and the official road is broken. Some figures are faintly visible entangled in the distance. The three tall and upright ones are obviously people, and the rest are short black spots.

Everyone gathered around and tested them from time to time.

"I go first!"

The swordsman immediately turned around and ran back. He turned over and mounted his horse with clean and decisive movements.

"thorough!"

"Ask if it's Dr. Cai."

"Know!"

The black horse immediately started galloping and rode swiftly.

Song You and Sanhua Empress also quickened their pace and rushed there.

This place is too vast, and many places look close, but in fact it takes a long time to walk. However, the swordsman has already left on horseback, so Daxia Shu is trustworthy.

When one person and one cat approached, the swordsman had solved the problem.

I saw three people standing behind the swordsman, headed by an old man, wearing clothes commonly worn by doctors these days. He was sixty or seventy years old, with a thin figure, hair like three winter snows, and a beard like nine autumn frosts. But maybe it was because of his age in recent years.

Walking in the north, exposed to wind and sun, and exhausted, my skin should have been rosy and fair-haired, but now my skin was inevitably a little dark, my cheeks were a little chapped, and my lips were peeling.

There were two apprentices around him, about thirty or forty years old, who were also wearing similar clothes. One was carrying a medicine box and holding a medical flag, and the other was carrying a suitcase on his back. The legs of his trousers had been torn. They were both in shock.

Three wolf corpses nearby.

One had his head shot through by an arrow, another had half of his head cut off by a sword, and the other also had a bloody hole in his body.

The other wolves had already been frightened and ran far away, looking at this place from a distance, not knowing what they were thinking.

"gentlemen."

The swordsman immediately came up and said, "This is the Divine Doctor Cai."

"As expected, it's Divine Doctor Cai, so polite."

"Don't dare."

Doctor Cai was still in shock, returned the gift to Song You, and also quietly glanced at the Taoist.

Just looking at it was a surprise.

He has the ability to tell people's illnesses by looking at their faces, and he also has the ability to tell their strength and weakness by looking at their anger. Just like the swordsman who just saved them, he can tell at a glance that his martial arts skills are among the best in the world, and Dr. Cai has never seen him again.

Such vigorous vitality, but looking at the man in front of him, even he didn't know how to describe it.

"I wonder what I call you sir?"

"My surname is Song and my name is You, from Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"Thank you Mr. Song and Master Shu for your help." Doctor Cai said quickly, "Who would have thought that Hezhou has been deserted for so long and there are so many wild beasts on the roadside?"

"It's always been like this." Song You replied, "As soon as people retreat, the beasts and monsters will come back immediately like weeds."

"If Mr. Song hadn't happened to pass by here, we would have suffered a big disaster!"

"This is no coincidence." Song You smiled and said, "We chased Divine Doctor Cai all the way here."

"oh?"

Doctor Cai looked at him blankly.

Song You did not answer in a hurry, but asked: "Doctor Cai want to go to Hansu County?"

"Go to Lingze County first."

"That's the way to go. I don't want to delay, so please talk while walking."

"good!"

"Does the miracle doctor want to ride a horse?"

"I can walk, I can walk."

"..."

Song You did not try to persuade him. He only looked back at the wolves on the distant field ridge that were still staring at his group. He waved his hand, and the wolves immediately turned around and left. Then he said as he walked: "I believe the miracle doctor is here today."

This is the first time I heard your name, but we have already admired the miracle doctor for a long time."

"I don't dare to take it seriously."

Doctor Cai just thought that he had heard about what happened to him in Hezhou, so he waved his hand quickly.

"I don't know what the miracle doctor is. We came from Changjing and have heard of the name of the miracle doctor as early as when we were in Changjing."

Song You turned his head to look at this legendary doctor who had great medical skills. He was not sure about it before, but now that he has walked through Hezhou, he already knows that this is a figure who is destined to be famous throughout the ages.

Thousands of years later, perhaps the names of many emperors will not be as resounding as his.

Song You naturally has great respect for such a person.

Of course, it is not because he will be famous throughout the ages that we have much respect for him, but because his skills and virtues are outstanding, so he has been passed down through the ages, and he is respected for this.

"When I was in Changjing, I went to Beiqin Mountain to visit the miracle doctor twice. One was in the early summer of last year, and the other was in the cold winter of last year. The most recent time was already a year ago. Later, when I came to Hezhou, I often heard about the miracle doctor Cai.

His good deeds of practicing medicine to save people despite the epidemic are even more admirable."

"Sir, have you ever gone to Beiqin Mountain to look for Lao Chan?" Doctor Cai seemed a little surprised, and then said, "Sir, Lao Chan has come to the north a long time ago. He definitely didn't find him, but let him run away empty-handed."

"I went to Beiqin Mountain for the second time, and I already knew from the mouth of the Snake Fairy that the miracle doctor came to the north." Song You replied, "Besides, the scenery of Beiqin Mountain is outstanding, so it is impossible to run on empty, let alone go to Beiqin.

Although I didn’t find Divine Doctor Cai in the mountains, I also gained something else.”

After a pause, he said to the miracle doctor Cai: "Now that I think about it, I looked for him a second time but I didn't meet him. It was just that I didn't meet him for the time being. But my fate with the miracle doctor is here."

"Snake fairy?"

Doctor Cai was a little surprised again: "Sir, you actually saw the snake fairy?"

"Yes." Song You still replied, "Speaking of which, Snake Immortal is still an old friend of the ancestor, and I am half of his junior. Chatting with him for a day will be very fruitful."

"I don't know, Mr. Shi's sect..."

"It's called Fulong Temple."

"..."

Doctor Cai seemed to have never heard of the name Fulong Temple, but he immediately said: "It turns out that Mr. Song is an expert in Taoism. No wonder it is so unusual."

"Bo Youdaoxing."

"Why did you come here, sir?"

"I traveled down the mountain and walked around the world. I traveled to Changjing and then to Hezhou. I was going to the northern border and naturally passed by here."

"The north is very chaotic."

"How can this place not be chaotic?"

Hearing this, Divine Doctor Cai couldn't help but turn his head to look at Song You, and Song You also looked at him. The eyes of the old man and the young man met.

I want to ask why Song You went north.

It's better to ask the miracle doctor why he went north.

"The north is in chaos, monsters are everywhere, and diseases are rampant. Although I don't have the medical skills of a miracle doctor to save people, I am also proficient in the ability to subjugate monsters and eliminate them." Song You said to him, "I came to the north to see this troubled world.

What kind of situation it is, and secondly, I also learned how the demons in this troubled world have some grace, and I happened to meet the miracle doctor, which was an unexpected bonus."
