The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

I don't know any famous doctors. Xin Suzhao didn't know where he learned how to breathe heavily. When Chen Heng's disappointed look appeared, he explained, But my master can.

You still have a master??? Chen Heng was also very surprised.

Otherwise, how do you think I got my martial arts skills? Xin Suzhao raised his chin proudly, like a young general returning from victory, I was in poor health when I was a child. My master received favors from my father in the early years and came to my home to treat me. It only took three posts. With the medicine, my illness was cured, and he also taught me kung fu.

So your master's medical skills are very good?

Anyway, I've never seen anyone better than him.

Seeing Xin Suzhao's answer, Chen Heng couldn't hold back anymore. He hurriedly sat next to him and asked happily: Where is Master You now?

It's quite far away. He has hid in Suzhou recently, and the first two are still hanging around in Jinling. When Chen Heng asked, Xin Suzhao scratched his head in embarrassment.

Chen Heng couldn't care less about Su Zhao's choice of words. At this moment, he was only thinking about finding a doctor to save people, so he hurriedly asked: Brother Xin, can you write a letter asking your master to come over?

I'm afraid it won't be easy. Xin Suzhao shook his head and said bluntly, My master is used to being idle. No matter how many people ask him to see a doctor, he always hides away. If you really want to ask him, you can't do it without us. I have to go to Suzhou City.

Until the end, Chen Heng didn't even notice that the other party's eyes were shining.

Chen Heng only walked back and forth a few times before asking solemnly: How long will it take for us to go to Suzhou City?

If we ride a fast horse, the trip there will take fifteen days. But if we are willing to spend money to cross the river by boat, take a boat at Zhenjiang Ferry, and go straight down the canal, we can reach Suzhou in only three or four days.

Three or four days? Chen Heng estimated the time several times in his mind, and suddenly realized that he had almost been tricked by this guy. Since it took fifteen days to travel by land, how much more would the hotel expenses for a round trip be than the boat fare?

Let's take the boat. Chen Heng decided directly.

After hearing his classmate's answer, Xin Suzhao shook his head in disappointment and muttered: What's the point of taking a boat? It's hard to move even if you hold it in.

Chen Heng would take his complaints to heart. What bothered him now was what reason he could use to ask for leave. I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of a very suitable reason. The excuses that could be used in my previous life are easy to poke people's spine now.

Since he specializes in medicine, Chen Heng decided to ask Xin Suzhao what he meant, Brother Xin, why did you decide to take leave?

There's no need to think about it, just run away.

Does Xin Suzhao care about this? He is already extremely excited. With such a sense of immorality for leading a good boy to skip class, and with the legitimate reason of saving people, Xin Suzhao wished he could get a pair of wings and fly out of the academy right now.

When Chen Heng heard this, he realized the same thing. Why do you care about so many things now? I haven't read any other books, and I've just studied it in a pedantic way. Saving people is the most important thing.

After all, he is an adult and is much more courageous than ordinary children. He made a decision on the spot and said: Let's go back to the house and tell Dayou and the others, and ask them to tell the teacher tomorrow, so as not to worry them tomorrow.

Sure. Xin Suzhao rubbed his hands, stood up with Chen Heng, and walked quickly to the dormitory together.

After waking up Dayou and Xue Biao who were still sleeping in the room, Chen Heng told him his intention to leave. Xue Biao was the most shocked. He wanted to persuade him, but when he saw the determination on Chen Heng's face, he couldn't help but said: Brother Heng, just go. , I will help you talk to Mei Xuezheng.

Do you have enough money with you? I still have some left on me. Do you want to take it with me and use it on the road? Qian Dali made a show of getting up to get the money.

Chen Heng had the nerve to take his money, so he quickly dissuaded him, It's okay, Brother Qian, I have enough. He added, I'll leave the academy matters to you two.

Just go and I will help you handle it properly. Xue Biao also had concerns in his mind. He might not be able to speak in front of Mei Xuezheng, and his father might have to step in once.

Yes. Chen Heng nodded heavily. There was no need to say too many words of thanks between the two of them.

The four of them quietly touched each other to say goodbye, but Xue Biao and Xin Suzhao were the most interesting. The former stiffened his neck and said, Take good care of Brother Heng.

You should take care of yourself. You can't even find a doctor.

Chen Hengcai had no time to care about the two of them, and didn't even bother to pack their luggage. He took all the money and followed Xin Suzhao out of the dormitory like a thief, all the way to the corner.

The wall of the academy is slightly higher than that of an adult, and there is a fake stone standing close to it in the corner. Chen Heng stepped on it and climbed up the wall, straddling it with two legs, looking at the silent street, and suddenly said, It's broken. Why didn't you think the city gate would be closed?

Although the curfew in Yangzhou is not as strict as that in Beijing, there will be merchants and pedestrians setting up stalls on the alleys in the middle of the night, but the city gates will never be opened in the middle of the night.

We're here, are you still worried about this? Let's go down first. Xin Suzhao jumped off the wall without saying a word. Seeing this, Chen Heng had no choice but to follow.

The two people walked along the alleys of Yangzhou and arrived at the quiet ferry. Go to that inn and spend the night there. We'll take a boat across the river early tomorrow.

Having already reached this point, Chen Heng naturally would not refuse. When Xin Suzhao woke up the shopkeeper, he took the initiative to pay for the accommodation.

When resting that night, Xin Suzhao pulled Chen Heng and said, I didn't expect Brother Heng to have such courage. Is the person you want to save so important to you?

I'm afraid that if I don't save him, I'll feel sorry for the paper crane and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Chen Heng shook his head and reluctantly explained: Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

What you said, my master will definitely praise you for your wisdom.

Chen Heng was noncommittal and turned over on the bed. He whispered to Xin Suzhao, Don't you need to tell your father?

Needless to say? You'll know tomorrow. Xin Suzhao waved his hand casually.

Chen Heng was puzzled and had no choice but to sleep with his clothes on.

The next day, the two of them got up early and left the inn. As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw the guard who had escorted him back to Taixing County standing on the street waiting for them.

Master...

You don't need to say anything. You are here to fulfill the friendship between me and Brother Heng. Even if my father is here, I will say this.

The guard glanced at Chen Heng, nodded silently, and followed the two of them without saying a word.

Look, my dad already knows this. Xin Suzhao smiled and opened his hands to Chen Heng. Chen Heng was also stunned. He didn't expect that this was what he had planned.

The three of them stopped talking. They rushed to the ferry and boarded a passenger ship bound for Zhenjiang. They crossed the river and boarded a cargo ship that went straight down to Suzhou. It was a hard journey, so there is no need to say more.

The news after they left also gradually spread in the school. Two great people disappeared overnight, no teacher would be able to bear it.

After all, Xue Biao was young, and he explained to Mei Xuezheng in every possible way, but the other party couldn't listen. Xue Biao had no choice but to borrow Chen Heng's method, hanging paper cranes under the peach tree, calling Sister Lin first, and then calling Baoqin to him through Sister Lin.

Brother, is there something important? Bao Qin was a little puzzled that Xue Biao went to such trouble to find him.

When Xue Biao explained what happened to Chen Heng, even Sister Lin, who was sitting in the audience, widened her eyes and said in disbelief: You said that my brother ran away with his classmate?

What is this? Sister Lin felt dizzy and couldn't figure out why Chen Heng did this.

Xue Biao couldn't explain in detail. First, he was worried that Chen Heng might not invite the famous doctor back, and second, he was worried that the famous doctor wouldn't be able to cure Sister Lin's brother, so he could only keep his reasons vague.

Sister, you go home today and tell dad about this and ask him to mediate on your behalf.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Xue Baoqin simply agreed, Brother, don't worry, my sister knows the seriousness and will definitely persuade dad to come forward.

The next day, when Xue Ai arrived at the academy in a carriage, Xin Geng also rode from the camp outside the city to the door. The two parents looked at each other, thinking that the other person was the elder of some rebellious classmate, and they only chatted for a few times. sentence.

One person was holding a gift, and the other was holding a knife, and they joined hands to push open the door of Mei Xuezheng.

…………

…………

After three days on the waterway, we had a panoramic view of the water scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River. Chen Heng finally arrived at the lively city of Suzhou and disembarked along the ferry. While waiting for the officers and soldiers to inspect him, Chen Heng pulled Xin Suzhao, who was taking a breather, and asked, Where are you going to find your master now?

With the sun hanging high above his head, Xin Suzhao put up a pergola with his hands and looked into the distance, announcing a place name, Hanshan Temple.

Why is it here? Chen Heng raised his eyebrows.
