Chapter 465: People always complain that life is too short
After Gu Nan went to worship Bai Qi, he wandered around and was tired of walking, and began to find a place to live for a while.
At the beginning, she chose to be a doctor and went to Xuchang. The prosperity there was already far better than that in the past. When she first arrived, she thought she had come to the wrong place.
There is a famous scenic spot in Xuchang called Taiping Tower. People say that it was built by the founding emperor of the Wei Kingdom to commemorate a man. The building is taller than the city wall and goes straight to the clouds. You can see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers as you can see from afar.
Unfortunately, ordinary people cannot go up.
Gu Nan's clinic was opened under the Taiping Building. She hired a small medicine boy, who was an orphan who found him on the street. He just needed to do things, food and accommodation, and he could not get a few wages.
She worked as a doctor there for twenty years. She has treated many people in the past twenty years, but when others ask her name, she always doesn't answer, just like she doesn't have a name at all.
Her medical skills are quite good. More and more people came to this clinic, some came from afar and some came to invite them. Later, the kings, princes, generals and ministers who came to the court also came.
Once, the emperor came to Gu Nan for treatment that year. The medicine was cured. The emperor was very happy and asked Gu Nan what reward he wanted.
Gu Nan said that she wanted to go to the Taiping Tower to take a look.
She climbed the Taiping Tower for the first time, and seriously, she saw a picture-like country.
Twenty years have passed in a flash, and it should be just in the 20th year. Some people say that miraculous doctors will never grow old, and gradually some people start to seek the art of not getting old.
Gu Nan understood that it was time for her to leave again. She packed her bags alone and left Luoyang one night.
The little medicine boy in the clinic had grown into a young man. The day after Gu Nan left, he also left the clinic with a medicine box on his back.
I heard that he had traveled to many places and traveled to treat diseases, which made him famous doctors all his life. He almost charged no money for treatment, and most of the time he only asked one question.
Have you ever seen someone whose surname is Gu, who always likes to wear a hat with a scar on his hand?
Later, he also accepted an apprentice and walked with him. Once the apprentice asked him.
"Master, who are you looking for?"
He thought for a long time and said with a wry smile: "I don't know who she is, I only know her surname is Gu."
Decades ago, when he was an orphan, she squatted in front of him in a blue shirt, and asked him with a hat on her head.
"Would you like to come to my clinic to do things, and to take care of food and accommodation."
······
Gu Nan went to many places and did a lot of things, some worked as a teacher in a library, some worked as a farmer, and some worked as a carpenter. Three hundred years is really long, and she is enough to do too many things.
About a year and a half ago, she came to the desert outside the Great Wall. When it comes to why she came here, there is actually no deep reason.
At that time, she happened to have nothing to do. When she heard that the Turks were heading south, there were always horse thieves and rioters in chaos, she came.
Three months later.
The Wei army arrived at the border. Although the Turks had not yet prepared to move south in large quantities, this time they did not come to resist the Turks, but to attack the Turks.
"Huhh!"
Two sounds of wind were rolling in my ears, mixed with sand and dust. A small team of Turkic cavalry was riding on horseback on their horses and taking a quick look, there were about twenty people.
They were wearing military armor, with a scimitar on their waists, and a horse rope in their hands.
Behind the horse, there were several people tied with a rope, and it was probably all Han people in their costumes.
They were tied up with their hands, and this method of binding, as soon as the horse ran, they would be pulled and dragged to the ground by a rope.
The Wei army came, and the Turks were catching the Han people outside the pass everywhere, as if they wanted to torture the news about the Wei army from the mouths of these Han people.
A Turkic cavalry waved the knife in his hand and screamed strangely, urging the person behind the horse to walk faster.
Suddenly, they slowly stopped and saw a person walking down the road in the distance.
The man was wearing a black wind robe, looking like a pedestrian, walking slowly.
However, under the black robe was the costumes of Han people. Several Turkic cavalry looked at each other and grinned.
They all know what each other means.
The horse rope in his hand pulled, the horse under him neighed, and raised his scimitar and rushed towards the man.
The man on the road stopped, and a gust of wind swelled up her black robe, revealing a thin sword under the black robe.
After a few breaths, a panicked horse sound came from the desert, and there were wails and screams.
The screams did not last long before dissipating in the wind and sand, leaving only the unmanned war horses on their backs running around.
······
In a desert not far away, a team of Wei army scouts were investigating. The leader suddenly frowned and raised his hands to stop the few horses behind him.
He seemed to hear something, and then a war horse ran past them.
There was no one on the war horse, but there was blood on its back.
Seeing it running away in panic, the Wei army scouts carefully placed their hands on their weapons.
The horse is not tall, but it has a strong muscles and a well-proportioned proportion. You can tell at a glance that it is a good horse in the army. This kind of horse is very different from ordinary horses used to pull carts.
The scouts team looked at the direction where the horse was running, turned around and looked at the people behind him, and said.
“Be careful.”
A group of people nodded and walked in that direction.
The thin sword swung, and the blood on the blade fell on the sand. Then the sword body turned and was retracted into the sheath.
Having let the captured Han people go, Gu Nan glanced at the bodies of the Turkic cavalry upside him and sat down calmly.
One thing that has to be admitted is that this place is really chaotic. When a person dies in the desert, as long as he is buried by wind and sand, it will seem like nothing has happened.
She lifted up the hat that blocked the wind on her head, maybe she was a little hungry. She took out a dry cake from her arms and took a bite, then took off the kettle around her waist and drank it with her head raised.
When the Wei army's scouts arrived, they saw the bodies of Turkic soldiers in the area, and there was also a person sitting among the bodies.
The Turkic cavalry who fell to the ground died with one sword and their eyes were wide open, as if they had seen something incredible before they died.
The man sitting between the corpse had a thin sword hanging around his waist, a water bag and a dry cake in his hand, and was eating. She seemed to have killed all the Turkic soldiers alone.
With just one thin sword, more than twenty Turkic cavalry were killed. The Wei army scouts were pulling their horses, with a complicated expression on their faces.
This kind of thing seemed almost impossible to him. There was no war horse or armor, and the thin sword seemed to be unable to cut off the Turkic armor.
Gu Nan heard the voice beside him, raised his head and looked at the Wei army scouts not far away.
Seeing her appearance clearly, several scouts were stunned.
Is this, a woman?
(I wrote down the questions about the Huns, laughing and crying, and thank you for pointing out that it has been corrected.)
