The rain in July was dripping non-stop.

After leaving Chang'an City and heading south, the official road was full of mud.

During the conversation along the way, Li Nian also understood the reason why several people were traveling together.

Most of the people in Wugong County were old soldiers under Qin Qiong, but they had known each other since childhood and were all sons of generals. When they heard that the old soldiers of the former border army were now in trouble and sick and needed medicinal materials for treatment, they all got busy for a while.

Those who had money contributed money, and those who had strength contributed their strength.

Only then were several carts of medicinal materials gathered.

When they heard that they were going to visit the old soldiers of the border army in person, they followed one by one.

Seeing the excitement between their brows, and not having any unhappiness because of the heavy rain, Li Nian had more respect in his heart.

These are the sons of the Dukes, and their family backgrounds are prominent.

But they don't have the slightest air of arrogance. With them in the Tang Dynasty, after these old generation of tiger generals leave in the future, they will not be afraid of war!

The plum rain was so annoying that even the official road was muddy for several days.

It took nearly three hours to reach the destination, which was originally only sixty miles.

Gaoshan Town!

It was Chief Gao's hometown.

It was called a town, but it was actually a relatively large village. There were no particularly prosperous buildings. Most of the houses were thatched houses. Hearing that a distinguished guest was coming, a sixty-year-old man and several strong black-faced men hurried out to greet him.

""Father!"

Gao Qiu hurried forward to introduce them.

After hearing this, the old man hunched over and bowed to them again and again.

"I am Gao Laoren, a little old man. I am honored to meet the young general and all the distinguished guests!"

Qin Huaiyu quickly helped him up and said respectfully,"Old man Gao, please don't be polite. We are sorry to bother you so much on this trip. I hope you won't mind!"

"I dare not!"

"It is a blessing for Gaoshan Town that distinguished guests have come from afar. It is damp outside, please come inside to talk."

As he said this, he welcomed everyone into a house.

The house is not big, but it is the best one you can see.

Old man Gao sat aside, and several men with sharp eyes stood beside him.

These men were about forty years old, and all had disabilities in their hands and feet, but without exception, they were filled with the kind of vague courage.

If you have not been on the battlefield and seen blood on your hands, you will never have this feeling.

Li Nian's heart trembled at the moment, knowing that these people should be old soldiers who have really rolled in blood on the battlefield!

Gao Qiu on the side whispered in the old man Gao's ear for a while, and saw that the old man Gao's expression froze, and then he quickly stood up and knelt down.

"Damn it, I almost made such a huge mistake!"

Qin Huaiyu stood up again and helped the old man up.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao. General Changsheng is fine now."

"This is Dr. Li who treated him."

"We heard that many villagers in Gaoshan Town had contracted serious diseases due to consuming poisonous salt, so we hurried here to treat them!"

Li Nian also stood up and said,"Old Man Gao, don't worry about it."

Old man Gao staggered to his feet, his beard trembling, and said with tears of gratitude:"Thank you, doctor. If it weren't for you, I would have made a terrible mistake!"

He sobbed for a long time, then slowly raised his head and said,"To be honest, six or seven out of ten families in this town are poor."

"Ordinary people could not afford salt, so they could only soak some cloth in vinegar to survive."

"But during the busy farming season, the laborers did not eat salt and felt weak, so some people took the risk to make poisonous salt. This was not uncommon in this town."

"Many people in this town have consumed poisonous salt. Although it is not a big deal for the time being, over time, those who consume poisonous salt may suffer from diarrhea, dizziness and weakness, or even worse, their whole body will turn purple and look horrible."

After listening to this, Li Nian frowned.

He did not expect that the people of Gaoshan Town would be so poor.

This is no wonder.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of military service.

These people are farmers in their spare time, and they are temporarily recruited into the army when fighting.

And these are military households, most of them are veterans of the frontier army who retired from the northern border, and there are many disabled people.

There is no perfect retirement subsidy these days, they don’t have much money, and there are very few rich households.

And these veterans of the frontier army have their own pride, even so, they never ask the court.

This leads to the fact that even if they are poor, so poor that they can’t afford salt, and eat poisonous salt, they don’t want the court to ask for a penny!

This is the pride of the Tang Dynasty’s border army!

It was because of their unyielding character that the chaotic world ended and a great Tang Dynasty that shocked the world was created!

After hearing what the old man Gao said, everyone was silent for a while.

"Father Gao, don't worry!"

Li Nian took a deep breath, calmed down, and said with a smile on his face:

"The boy has found a way to detoxify. This time, I came here to relieve the pain of everyone in Gaoshan Town!"

When Old Man Gao heard this, tears suddenly welled up in his cloudy old eyes.

The strong men behind him also shuddered and knelt down with a plop.

"Old man, on behalf of the people of Gaoshan Town, I would like to thank the miracle doctor!"

"We bow down to thank the divine doctor for his kindness!"

Those few were all brave warriors who had fought in many battles in the northern border, and they had become strong men who had survived the bloody battles.

Now, they were willing to kneel before Li Nian.

"Father Gao, if you continue to be so polite, I am afraid I won't dare to stay any longer."

"Please build a platform. I will provide free medical consultation. Please invite all the villagers who have consumed poisonous salt and are suffering from serious diseases to come."

"Alas, alas, alas!"

Old Man Gao even thanked him profusely because this matter was of great importance, and he hurried down to make arrangements.

""Alas!"

Seeing the old soldiers like this, several young generals were also filled with emotion.

"Having such a frontier army is a blessing for the country and the people!"

Qin Huaiyu's eyes flashed with inexplicable emotion.

"Unfortunately, the Turks broke through the border from time to time and plundered the border, and the court had no more���Money to house them"

"These are the heroes of our Tang Dynasty, but they live like this!"

Luo Tong was also a little sad.

"Everyone, after understanding this matter, I may be able to help them!"

After a long silence, Li Nian suddenly said

"Brother Li, what do you mean by that?"

Qin Huaiyu raised his head and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Let's cure the disease first!"

Li Nian smiled mysteriously and said,"I'll talk to you guys in detail after it's over!"

Cheng Chumo clenched his fists and said,"I'm tired of you scholars who are so mysterious."

"Hahaha!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

As he was speaking, Old Man Gao walked in, bowed to Li Nian, and said,"Godly doctor, everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for you."

""Okay!"

Li Nian slammed the table and stood up. Lang Lang smiled and said,"Everyone, I'll go first!"

When they arrived at an open space outside the lobby, they saw a temporary shed with a desk.

The strong men were shouting to maintain order. Outside the shed, there was a line of people who were waiting for them.

"So many!"

Li Nian was also secretly amazed.

When he came to the shed, he saw that the old man knocked his cane in his hand, and the originally bustling crowd suddenly became quiet.

"Fellow villagers!"

"This is Dr. Li, he’s here to provide free medical treatment for us!"

"The disease caused by consuming poisonous salt has troubled us villagers for a long time. Fortunately, Dr. Li came today to cure the disease and eliminate the disaster for us."

"Everyone must advance and retreat in an orderly manner and be courteous to each other. Anyone who makes noise or causes trouble will be severely punished!"

Although old man Gao has a hunched body, his voice is sonorous and powerful. When he stood there, his posture of"I am not afraid of thousands of people" instantly shocked the whole audience.

After giving the instructions, old man Gao turned around and said,"Doctor Li, you start!"

""Ahem!"

Li Nian was also shocked by the old man's posture. He coughed and said,"Then please let the first person come forward."

As he spoke, a man with a sallow face and a thin body sat down weakly.

His eyes were cloudy and lifeless, his eye sockets were dark, and even breathing felt a little labored.

Li Nian saw that this was a typical case of poisonous salt, and the poisoning was quite serious. He took the pulse and quickly wrote down the prescription, saying,"Get the medicine aside."

In less than ten breaths, he had finished looking at a person.

"Next one!"

Old man Gao stood aside and took the initiative to call the number.

Here, Li Nian was busy with diagnosis and treatment, and Qin Huaiyu and others were also busy.

They were responsible for distributing medicines and boiling soups, and they were also very busy........
