Chapter 64 Suzhou

"I don't know any famous doctors." Xin Suzhao didn't know where he learned this panting. When Chen Heng looked disappointed, he explained, "But my master knows it."

"You 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 victorious general. "When I was a child, I was in poor health. My master received my father's favor in his early years, so he came to treat me. With just three prescriptions, my illness was cured. He also taught me a set of kung fu."

"So your master's medical skills are very good?"

"Anyway, I haven't seen anyone better than him."

Seeing Xin Suzhao's answer, Chen Heng couldn't help it. He hurriedly sat beside him and asked happily: "Where is your master now?"

"It's a bit far. He has been hiding in Suzhou recently. The first two were still hanging around in Jinling." After being asked by Chen Heng, Xin Suzhao scratched his head in embarrassment.

Chen Heng didn't care about Su Zhao's words. At this moment, he was only thinking about finding a doctor to save people. He asked hurriedly: "Brother Xin, can you write a letter to ask your master to come over?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Xin Su Zhao shook his head and said bluntly, "My master is used to being a free and easy person. No matter how many people ask him to see a doctor, he will avoid it if he can. If you really want to invite him, we have to go to Suzhou City."

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

Chen Heng only took a few steps on the spot before asking solemnly: "How long does it take for us to go to Suzhou City."

"If we ride a fast horse, it will take fifteen days to go there. But if we are willing to spend money, we can take a boat across the river, take a boat to Zhenjiang Ferry, and go down the canal. It only takes three or four days to get to Suzhou."

Three or four days? Chen Heng estimated the time several times in his mind, and suddenly realized that he was almost cheated by this kid. Since it takes fifteen days to travel by land, how can the round trip hotel expenses be more than the boat fare?

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

Hearing the answer of his classmate, Xin Suzhao shook his head in disappointment and muttered: "What's the point of taking the boat? It's hard to move when you hold it in."

Chen Heng didn't take his complaints to heart at that time. What he was worried about now was what reason he should use to ask for leave. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a very suitable reason. The excuses that could be used in the previous life are easy to make people poke their backs now.

Every profession has its own specialty. Chen Heng decided to ask Xin Suzhao what he meant, "Brother Xin, what reason do you decide to use to ask for leave."

"I don't need to think about it, just run."

Xin Suzhao didn't care about this, he was already very excited. This kind of feeling of guilt for skipping class with a good child, and a legitimate reason like saving people, Xin Suzhao wished he could fly out of the academy with a pair of wings now.

Chen Heng heard that, and it was true. Why bother about so many things now? Don't be a pedantic person who has not read books. Saving people is the most important thing.

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

"Okay." Xin Suzhao rubbed his hands, followed Chen Heng and walked quickly to the bedroom.

After waking up Dayou and Xue Ke who were still sleeping in the room, Chen Heng told Xue Ke about his intention to go. Xue Ke was the most shocked. He wanted to persuade him, but seeing Chen Heng's determined face, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Heng, just go, I will help you talk to Mei Xuezhen."

"Do you have enough money? I still have some, do you want to take it on the road first?" Qian Dayou pretended to get up to get the silver.

Chen Heng was too embarrassed to take his money, so he quickly dissuaded him, "It's okay, brother Qian, I have enough on me." He added, "The academy's affairs are up to you two."

"Just go, I will definitely help you deal with it properly." Xue Ke also had some thoughts in his mind. He might not be able to speak well in front of Mei Xuezheng, and his father might have to intervene 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 said goodbye to each other quietly, but Xue Ke and Xin Suzhao were the most interesting. The former said with a stiff neck, "Take good care of Brother Heng."

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

Chen Heng didn't have time to take care of the two of them, and he didn't even bother to pack his luggage. He took all the money and ran out of the dormitory like a thief with Xin Suzhao, all the way to the corner.

The academy's wall was slightly higher than that of an adult, and there was a fake stone close to it standing in the corner. Chen Heng climbed up the wall by stepping on it, sat on it with his legs, looked at the quiet and deserted streets, and suddenly said, "Oh no, why didn't I think the city gate would be closed."

Although the curfew in Yangzhou is not as strict as that in Beijing, there will still be vendors and pedestrians in the alleys and streets at midnight, but the city gate will never be opened at midnight.

"You are already here, and you are still worried about this? Let's go down first." Xin Suzhao said nothing and jumped off the wall. Seeing this, Chen Heng had no choice but to follow.

The two of them walked along the alleys and lanes of Yangzhou, and rushed to the quiet ferry. "Let's go to that inn for one night, and we will take a boat to cross the river early tomorrow."

Since it has come to this point, Chen Heng will naturally not refuse. After 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 was afraid that if I didn't save him, I would be sorry for the paper crane and the osmanthus cake. Chen Heng shook his head and reluctantly explained, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"My master will definitely praise you for your wisdom if he hears what you said."

Chen Heng did not comment, turned over in bed, and whispered to Xin Suzhao, "Don't you need to tell your father?"

"Is there any need to say this? You will know tomorrow." Xin Suzhao waved his hand casually.

Chen Heng was puzzled and had 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 guards who had escorted him back to Taixing County standing on the street waiting for them.

"Young Master..."

"You don't need to say more. This trip is to fulfill the righteousness between me and Brother Heng. Even if my father is here, I will say the same thing." Xin Suzhao answered righteously, with a posture that no cow can pull back.

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

"Look, my father knows now." Xin Suzhao smiled and spread his hands to Chen Heng. Chen Heng was also stunned. He didn't expect that he was thinking this.

The three of them said no more. They took the passenger boat to Zhenjiang when there were few people at the ferry, crossed the river, and took a cargo ship to Suzhou. The journey was very hard, so there was no need to say more.

The news after they left gradually spread in the school. Two living people disappeared overnight. No teacher could bear it.

Xue Ke was young after all. He tried to explain to Mei Xue Zheng, but the other party would not listen. Xue Ke had no choice but to borrow Chen Heng's method. He hung a paper crane under the peach tree, called out Lin Daiyu first, and then called Baoqin to him through Lin Daiyu.

"Brother, is there something important?" Baoqin was a little puzzled that Xue Ke went to such great lengths to find her.

When Xue Ke explained Chen Heng's affairs, even Lin Daiyu, who was listening, widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "You said my brother ran away with his classmates?"

What kind of thing was this? Lin Daiyu felt dizzy and could not understand why Chen Heng did this.

Xue Ke 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 could not cure Lin Daiyu's brother, so he could only give vague reasons.

"Sister, go home today and tell Dad about this matter and ask him to mediate on your behalf."

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Xue Baoqin agreed directly and crisply, "Brother, don't worry, sister knows the severity and will persuade Dad to intervene."

The next day, when Xue Zhen came to the academy in a carriage, Xin Geng also rode to the door from the camp outside the city. The two parents looked at each other and thought that the other was an elder who was a classmate of a rebellious son, so they only chatted for a few words.

One person carried a gift and the other held a knife, and they pushed open the door of Mei Xuezheng hand in hand.

After three days of water travel, we can see the scenery of the water on both sides of the south of the Yangtze River. Chen Heng finally arrived at the bustling city of Suzhou. He got off the boat at the ferry and waited for the soldiers to check. Chen Heng pulled the yawning Xin Suzhao and asked, "Where are we going to find your master now?"

The sun was high above his head. Xin Suzhao leaned on the awning and looked into the distance. He reported a place name, "Hanshan Temple."

Why is it here? Chen Heng raised his eyebrows.
