Chapter 10 The Wanderer Returns Home
Chen Mangxing, who had left Wudang, traveled all night long and after three days of long journey, he finally arrived at the city of Haozhou.
He saw from a distance that the city gate was closed, obviously sealing the city. On the wall, the soldiers looked gray and worried, and they were obviously worried about the plague.
Knowing that the situation was not good, Chen Mang rode his horse to the city gate tower and shouted, "I am Chen Mang of Wudang. I was recommended to prevent and control the plague. This is a document!" Without waiting for the officers and soldiers to reply, he threw an official document on the top of the city.
Above the city wall, a middle-aged man dressed in an official reached out to receive the document. When he opened it, he found that it was a joint recommendation from several county magistrates. He did not dare to neglect it. He quickly asked the soldiers to open the city gate and let Chen Mang enter the city, and came to the city gate to greet him in person.
"When Wang Fugui, the county magistrate of Haozhou, thanked Dr. Chen for helping the people of Haozhou!"
Chen Mang bowed and smiled, "You are polite to County Master Wang. You are all old acquaintances, so why should you be so polite? When I was full moon, you hugged me."
County Magistrate Wang was slightly stunned and looked at Chen Mang in Taoist robe, unable to remember who he was.
Chen Mang smiled and said, "My father is Chen Jinhong, the Dafa Escort Agency."
County Magistrate Wang slapped his forehead suddenly and said with annoyance: "It turns out that Nephew Chen is back. Look at my eyes. I drank with President Chen a few days ago. I also asked when I would return home. I didn't expect you to be back today!"
Chen Mang smiled: "I haven't returned home for a long time, so I'll go home to check it out first, and then go to the county government."
County Magistrate Wang stroked his beard and said, "I have returned from studying art. President Chen must be very pleased. Go home and report the good news."
Chen Mang bowed farewell to him and took Chen Youliang back home with a familiar journey.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Mang shouted: "Young master, I'm back, hurry up and prepare the meal to welcome me!"
The servants and the stoogee recognized that the person was really Chen Mang, and they all stepped forward to say hello.
"The young master is back!"
"Young Master, the villain is Ah Fu. Can the young master still recognize me?"
"Young Master..."
"Small slut..."
Amid the noise, a burly middle-aged man with gray hair walked out. When he saw Chen Mang, he cursed anxiously: "When will you come back when you are a slut, I will come back at this time! Come with me to the city gate, I will send you out of the city!"
Chen Mang chuckled: "Dad, please calm down. I will bring you official duties this time, and you can't drive it away just by rushing."
Chen Jinhong said angrily: "As soon as I came back, I talked nonsense again. You haven't even grown any hair. You have nothing to do with official business!"
"Go and see it yourself."
Chen Mang rolled his eyes and threw the document out, and took Chen Youliang straight to the inner hall: "Afu, go prepare meals and bath water, I will take my apprentice to see my mother first."
Ah Fu hurriedly agreed and ran to the kitchen.
Chen Mang came to the backyard to meet Chen's mother.
When Chen's mother saw her son who had been away for a long time, she instantly cried and pulled Chen Mang to ask questions, treating him completely as a child.
Chen Mang comforted Chen's mother a little helplessly, then pushed Chen Youliang to the front stage, telling Chen Youliang's miserable life experience, he successfully transferred Chen's mother's overflowing love to the little guy, and finally got a moment of leisure.
After a while, Chen Mang took Chen Youliang to take a shower and the whole family sat around the dining table and started lunch.
Chen Jinhong, who had carefully read the official documents, looked at his son in surprise, still disbelief: "Have you been living in Wudang Mountain in the past few years? Why have you suddenly met so many officials?"
Although he had letters with his family, Chen Mang knew that he was Zhang Sanfeng, so where did he tell his family members that he had taken the senior brother.
However, this matter is really funny, and you will definitely be laughed at when you say it, so Chen Mang chewed Jiang's elbow and said vaguely: "Didn't I tell you to become a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng before? I didn't become a disciple, so I recognized him as a senior brother."
The surprise on Chen Jinhong's face was even more intense: "Zhang Sanfeng, the reincarnated Emperor Zhenwu of Wudang Mountain? You didn't cheat as your father, right?"
"Puff, cough cough cough..."
Chen Mang almost choked to death.
The reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu? Who spread it, is it really dare to say it...
Chen Mang coughed a few times with a choking, rolled his eyes, and changed the topic: "By the way, Dad, do we have a cow in our family?"
Seeing that he was still as unreliable as before, Chen Jinhong didn't answer questions properly, and even said three words to eat and drink, he couldn't help but lose face: "No! I won't give you food if there is!"
Chen's mother looked at her husband resentfully and said warmly: "Does Mang'er want to eat beef? I'll ask A Fu to go to the farm to secretly slaughter one, and ask him to report to the government that the ox is drowned."
Chen Mang spit out a bone and stood up and said to Chen Jinhong: "I knew that Dad, you don't tell the truth. The money you earned was not only buying fields, but also buying fields. You almost bought all the nearby fields. How could you not buy cows and plow fields? Youliang, go! Let's see the cows with your master!"
Chen Youliang hurriedly got up, and the master and apprentice held their elbows and ate the roast chicken, and walked quickly outside the door.
Chen Jinhong slammed the table in anger and said with a heartache: "I just came back and wanted to kill my cow. This prodigal son is really angry!"
Chen's mother felt a little funny and said, "I feel so sorry, then you can stop him."
Chen Jinhong snorted and said proudly: "I will rely on his reputation to marches in the future. I will indulge him this time, well, this time."
On the other side, Chen Mang, who had left the house, found Afu and soon led him to the farm.
"Young Master, look, these ten thousand acres of fertile land belong to our family! There is a shack where long-term workers live, and a cowshed beside them. The cows are allowed to be stocked by the children of long-term workers. They are responsible for two meals a day, and many children are rushing to do it."
As Ah Fu said, he took Chen Mang to the cowshed. After checking, he saw more than a dozen scalpers hanging inside. He couldn't help but be furious: "These cheating bones who are cheating have not gone out to herd cattle today!"
After saying that, he shouted to the Changgong's shack: "Who will be herding cattle today? Come out to get the whip!"
Chen Mang slapped Ah Fu in the back of his head: "So powerful, are you the young master and I am the young master?"
Afu uttered a roar and begged for mercy: "I'm wrong, I shouldn't have robbed the young master of his prestige."
"Is that what I mean?"
Chen Mang glared and raised his hand to knock on the back of his head again.
At this time, a skinny man walked out of the shack and said with fear: "Brother Ah Fu, my child is a little uncomfortable today and forgot to herd cattle. I'll put it on for him now."
A Fu snorted and said, "Zhu Wusi, come here to pay homage to our young master!"
Zhu Wusi was about to kneel down quickly: "Young Master..."
Chen Mang pulled him away, and saw his eyes dodging, frowned slightly and said, "Don't be too polite, take me to see your child."
Zhu Wusi shrank timidly: "Young master, the shack is dirty..."
"Take me to see your child!"
Chen Mang shouted loudly, Zhu Wusi was so scared that he shivered, turned around with fear on his face, and walked in front of him with a shaking body, taking Chen Mang into the shack.
When I entered the door, a smell of rotten smell came towards me.
Chen Mang covered his nose and saw a group of senior workers rubbing their feet and chatting. A five or six-year-old boy was lying on the bed, his face was red and he kept muttering.
After revealing his identity, the workers hurried over to pay their respects. Chen Mang dispersed them and came to the child's bed to check.
"The lymphatic enlargement, some fever, and papules under the skin. How many days have you been doing this?"
"It's been three days since I replied to the young master."
"What other symptoms are there?"
"At first he said he was tired. I thought he wanted to be lazy, so he scolded him a few words. But he started to get hot since the day before yesterday..."
Chen Mang and Zhu Wusi were asked questions and answers. During the Q&A, Zhu Wusi looked pale, obviously he had already guessed.
Seeing this, Chen Mang sighed slightly, "It's smallpox."
After the words came to an instant blow in the shack.
"Zhu Wusi, you bastard, actually put your smallpox son here!"
"I have no grudges and grudges with you. If you want to harm me, I will beat you to death first!"
"Young Master, let's go!"
"Shut up!"
Chen Mang used his magic power and roared. Everyone in the room felt a roar in their ears, and they stopped talking, and the room suddenly became silent.
After a moment of silence, Chen Mang said, "Don't panic. You are strong and you are likely not infected with smallpox. Boil your clothes and commonly used utensils in the house in boiling water. If you can't cook, just burn them. Stay in the shack these days and don't walk around. I will have someone to deliver food to you. If you don't have symptoms in a few days, you will be worried."
After saying that, Chen Mang turned his face and told Chen Wusi: "Your child has mild symptoms and should not have any life worries. Please leave it here for the time being to rest. Then find a doctor to take some medicine. When the acne occurs, it will be cured."
"When taking care of him these days, remember to cover his mouth and nose with cotton cloth, and clean it with hot water after taking care of him to prevent him from being infected."
Zhu Wusi and his family all counted on his job to live. If they were kicked out, some people would starve to death, so they concealed the child's condition.
Originally, the matter was exposed, and he felt that the sky was about to collapse. Now, when he heard that Chen Mang had no intention of driving them away, he immediately knelt down on the ground with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, thank you for giving me a way out. You are the benefactor of our old Zhu family..."
