Chapter 252 The Hermit in Jingnan City

Along the way, walk and rest, five miles away, you will be there in the blink of an eye.

Sui Sheng led the horse and carried his mother along the road and entered Jingnan City.

Zhang Zhengdao glanced at the city gate and saw only a few gatekeepers at the city gate. They were hiding in the shade of trees in the distance, enjoying the cool air and resting, and did not come to check on the people entering and leaving the city.

The four of them successfully entered the city. Without enough time to appreciate the excitement of the bustling market, Su Sheng grabbed a passerby and asked about the location of the most famous miracle doctor in the city. After getting the news, everyone rode along the street.
Following the direction pointed by the passerby, we rushed to one of the busiest intersections in the city and saw a medical center and pharmacy called "Liuhetang".

Sui Sheng helped his mother get off the horse, put the horse's reins on the hitching post nearby, and shouted: "Brother, I'll go in first."

After saying this, he supported my mother and quickly entered the hospital.

Zhang Zhengdao knew that he was anxious, so he jumped off the horse and said to Shan Shiqi: "Brother, you wait outside first, I will go in and take a look."

Shan Shiqi nodded in agreement and reached out to hold Zhang Zhengdao's horse.

Stepping into Liuhetang, I saw Suisheng grabbing the lapel of a waiter in the store, holding his fist high, his expression full of anger.

Zhang Zhengdao rushed to Sui Sheng's side, grabbed his arm, and asked: "Don't be angry, what happened?"

Sui Sheng said angrily: "This guy is so ignorant that he actually said that there is no doctor in the shop and told me to go elsewhere."

Seeing someone grabbing Su Sheng, the shop clerk took a few steps back and explained: "This official, it is true that there is no doctor in the shop who can treat eye diseases. It is true that no one can see this old woman's disease."

Zhang Zhengdao frowned and asked: "This great Liuhetang doesn't even have a doctor who can treat eye diseases?"

The shop clerk replied: "Most of the gentlemen in the shop are good at diagnosing and treating typhoid fever. I am afraid that this old man's illness will lead to the Shuang Gourd Eye Medicine Shop in the west of the city. The doctor Li of this shop is said to be a doctor from Tokyo Castle."

Born in a hospital, he studied under Chen Shiyi and is good at diagnosing and treating eye diseases."

Zhang Zhengdao understood clearly, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, little brother."

The shop assistant Bu Tia said: "The officials are polite."

Zhang Zhengdao said to Sui Sheng: "As this little brother says, let's go to the Shuang Gourd Eye Medicine Shop in Xicheng."

Sui Sheng also understood what he heard at this moment. He clasped his fists towards the drug store clerk and said apologetically: "It's not my fault, please forgive me."

The store clerk quickly shouted: "Don't dare, don't dare."

Zhang Zhengdao and Sui Sheng supported their mother and came out of Liuhetang. They inquired along the road and rushed to the Shuang Gourd Eye Medicine Shop in Xicheng.

At this moment, the sun is setting towards the west, and night is slowly falling.

That pair of gourd eye medicine shop is going to close down.

Zhang Zhengdao said to the boy who was approaching the door: "Brother, may I ask Doctor Li who is sitting in the restaurant, is he still in the store?"

When the clerk in the shop saw the old woman being supported by Suisheng, he understood and replied: "It's unlucky for you to come here. My husband went out for consultation early this morning. I don't know when he will come back. If

To see a doctor, please come back tomorrow morning."

Sui Sheng was so anxious that he asked loudly: "Apart from your husband who can diagnose and treat eye diseases, why can't other doctors also cure it?"

The shop assistant smiled and said: "There are doctors nearby too, but the shop is closed and the other two gentlemen have gone home to rest."

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Zhengdao said, "It's better to find a place to stay nearby and come back early tomorrow morning."

Sui Sheng's old mother also said: "Sheng'er, what this official said is that my mother's eye disease will not last for a day or two, so there is no rush at this moment."

Suisheng said helplessly: "Mom, I know."

Zhang Zhengdao asked the shopkeeper again: "May I ask my little brother, is there any inn nearby where I can stay?"

The shopkeeper pointed to a small alley and said: "In that alley, there is a resting inn."

The four of them left the gourd-eye medicine shop and entered the alley. After walking thirty or fifty steps, they saw an inn.

Zhang Zhengdao took out the forged certificate, simply registered, opened three more rooms, and ordered the store clerk to prepare some meals and deliver them to the rooms.

Sui Sheng's mother lives alone in a room, but at this moment, Sui Sheng is staying in the room with her mother. The mother and son have not seen each other for more than a year, and they have a lot to say.

Zhang Zhengdao lives in a separate room because he really can't stand Shan Shiqi's snoring.

The other room is reserved for Sui Sheng and Shan Shiqi.

After eating, Zhang Zhengdao remembered the purpose of his trip. Seeing that it was still early, he called for a shopkeeper and found out the location of the paper shop on Shuaifu South Street in the city. He then asked Shan Shiqi and Sui Sheng to stay in the inn.

He rode a horse and rushed to his destination by taking advantage of the bright lights of the night market in the city.

This Jingnan City is indeed a big city in Xiongzhou, with a prosperous economy and well-developed commerce. At night, the teahouses, restaurants, and spring buildings along the street are also open all night long.

Coupled with the vendors carrying cargo loads and selling various snacks along the street, the world is full of fireworks.

Zhang Zhengdao rode his horse to Shuaifu South Street and found the paper shop. He jumped off his horse and went to the partition. Seeing that the courtyard door was closed, he stepped forward and knocked the door knocker.

Not long after, I heard someone in the yard asking: "Who called the door?"

Zhang Zhengdao replied loudly: "Is Mr. Xiao at home?"

"Squeak!"

The courtyard door opened, and a big man in coarse clothes, holding a lantern, looked out the door.

"Who are you, calling the door late at night?" The big man looked at the young man holding the horse outside the yard and asked with a frown.

After Zhang Zhengdao came down from Jishan Mountain, he took off his bronze mask and showed his true face. He cupped his fists and saluted and said, "May I ask who you are, Mr. Xiao?"

The big man nodded and said: "Who are you?"

Zhang Zhengdao looked around and replied in a low voice: "People from Jezhou, I heard that the descendants of Xiao Sengda, the former governor of Jingnan, lived here, and came to visit."

The big man looked Zhang Zhengdao up and down a few times, then opened the courtyard door and said, "Please let me speak at home."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "There is so much trouble." Then he led the horse to the hospital.

The big man closed the courtyard door with his backhand and led Zhang Zhengdao into the main hall of his home. Then he went to find two teacups, carried a pot of warm water, and sat down separately for the guests and the host.

"This dear friend, is he from Yangshanbo, Jeju?" the big man asked.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Mr. Xiao is indeed an expert hermit. He can guess my origin at a glance."

The big man replied: "My dear friend, at a young age, he is quite magnanimous, unlike ordinary people. Although Jeju is a big state, I have never heard of any famous young talents."

"If Xiao's guess is correct, you are the owner of Liangshan Mountain, the 'Nine Heavens Divine Dragon' Zhang Tiandao?" the big man continued to ask.

Zhang Zhengdao was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but look at this highly prestigious civil and military man in front of him with admiration.

The big man took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Xiao is quite surprised that Mr. Zhang can find this place."

Zhang Zhengdao calmed down and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao lives in Jingnan City, but he has an insight into the affairs of the world. I am afraid that he also has the ambition to display his ambitions in his heart!"
