    The big bubble has been burst somehow. At the beginning, I was busy with running away, but I didn’t feel any pain. I didn’t feel any pain until my hand touched the bubble.

    Du Heng couldn't help but "Ouch", the two Linggao students who were traveling with him heard it, and asked him what was going on, Du Heng let them look at the blisters, but he didn't say why it came out.  The two students said in unison: "It's nothing to worry about. Martin's family in the south of our county has a unique plaster, which is specially designed to treat burns and scalds. As long as the burns and scalds do not exceed one-third of the body, his plaster is absolutely curable.  When the disease is cured, there will be no scars."

    Du Heng immediately asked, "Is that the Ding family of Ding Erkang?" The students said, "Of course, when the Ding family is mentioned in the whole county, it must be Nan Martin's family. Their family has been handed down for hundreds of years.  The Tang Dynasty began to prosper, and the whole family was a high-ranking official. However, it seems to have declined now, and only those who can read are left. His plaster is also very famous. It seems that there was an ancestor who was in the army in the Song Dynasty.  Supervising the army, he has led soldiers and fought in wars. When he came back, he brought back the secret recipe of plaster, which was very effective. If anyone in ten miles or eight villages had a small burn or injury, he would go to his house to ask for it. There is no doubt. Are you just right?  Going to his house, it doesn't matter if you're injured, I'll make sure you anoint it until it heals!"

    Du Heng was very happy when he heard it, and thought to himself: "Well, Ding Erkang, it turns out that there is still a seller of dog skin plaster at home, and he is still hiding with me. Let's see how I tease you when I see you!"

    Talking and laughing along the way, before it was noon, Du Heng saw a small food stall on the side of the road, and hurriedly called the groom to stop, "Let's have some lunch here, the master has worked hard for a long time, I treat you!"

    So, they stopped on the side of the road. The food stall was very simple and only sold one kind of food——

    Pickled cabbage 饸饹.  Sauerkraut is made from local manjing (similar to radish, but not radish).  Clean the steamed buns with leaves and dry them without any trace of raw water.  Cut it into shreds, put it into the pickling vat and compact it layer by layer, add mountain spring water, and put it in the crockstone. It must be pressed tightly, otherwise the vegetables will turn up during the fermentation process and spoilage will occur.  Change the water every day, and you can eat it after 20 days.

    Pickled cabbage is served with tofu and bean sprouts, garlic is not sautéed until fragrant, and then it is served with ground sesame salt. It is fragrant and sour, especially when the heat is unbearable.  Du Heng ordered four big bowls, and he was also very happy to see that everyone ate the bowls cleanly and heartily.

    After lunch, continue on your way. Nanma Village is located between Fengtai Mansion and Linggao County, so you can go to Nanma to drop off Du Heng first, and then go to the county to see off the two students.

    Nanma Village finally came into their sight. The groom pointed to the village in front of him and said to Du Heng, "Young Master Du, Nanma Village is just ahead. You are here! Just stay here."

    Du Heng bowed his hands to say goodbye to them, and he was still reluctant to part with them for a day.

    After seeing off the carriage, Du Heng strolled towards the village.  I saw that Nanma Village is still very large, and the houses under the shade of green trees look like houses, and the words "Nanma Village" are written on the back of a house at the head of the village.

    Nanma Village is a large village in Linggao County. As soon as we entered the village, we saw many people chatting under the shade of trees. When we saw strangers entering the village, they all surrounded them. Before Du Heng opened his mouth, someone would speak first: "  Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Du Heng hurriedly replied: "I'm looking for Ding Erkang, he is his classmate."

    As soon as the villagers heard that they were looking for Ding Erkang, they immediately laughed and said, "Oh, you are looking for Ding Xiucai. His house is in the center of the village. Several people went in and out of the courtyard. The most magnificent house they saw was his.  home."

    Du Heng walked towards the center of the village in the direction of the villagers' fingers, and saw that the villagers on the road were all neatly dressed, with kind faces, and looked like a peach blossom garden.  There is a genus of mulberry and bamboo in Liangtian and Meike, where the rice paddies are trafficked, and the chickens and dogs are acquainted.  Among them, the work and the clothes of men and women are all like outsiders.  Yellow hair hangs down, and he is happy.

    Not long after, I saw a very imposing courtyard sitting in front of me.  It is a "seven-wrapped-three" sihetou courtyard with brick-wrapped buildings.  The plaque on the gate is embossed with the plaque of "Sanyuan Shijia". There is a Yimen gate inside the gate, and the main room is on the platform of three steps.  In the middle of the courtyard, there is a 3-meter-long hanging.  The wooden plaque with a width of 1.5 meters is engraved with four regular script gold characters "Ding's Ancestral Hall".

    Du Heng stepped into the house from the side door, and saw the four characters "Fengyou Qianren" engraved on the east room of the main courtyard gate, the four characters "Xingjuyitang" engraved in the middle, and the "Zhu Shu" engraved on the west room.  Three flowers" four characters.  There are four big characters in regular script engraved on the gate pool of Yimen, "Poems and Books are Hu".  The word "Shouxian" is engraved on the east wing gate, and the word "Servant" is engraved on the top of the west wing, both in seal script.  The word "Yuxiu" is engraved on the east gate of the lower courtyard.  The word "Xinyi" is engraved on the west gate.

    When Du Heng was busy looking at the old house of the Ding family, he heard hearty laughter coming from the inner courtyard. Ding Erkang heard the news from the villagers and rushed toHe hurried out to meet Du Heng.

    "Brother Zimei, I thought you would come here without keeping your promises. I am going to write a book for you. Let's see how you are doing?"

    Du Heng took Ding Erkang's hand and said: "It's hard to explain, can you let me drink some water first, and then tell my thrilling story?"

    Ding Erkang hurriedly grabbed Du Heng and walked into the house, and said as he walked: "The water pipe is enough, but if the story is not exciting, I will charge for the water!"

    Du Heng said: "Whether you charge for the water or not, I'm determined to drink it, but the story is definitely not exciting, just thrilling!" Ding Erkang said curiously: "Brother Zimei, did something important happen?"

    At this time, the water has come up, Du Heng took three gulps, wiped his mouth and said: "The water in the hometown of the number one scholar is sweet. Does it mean that if I drink this water, I will become the number one student in high school?"

    Ding Erkang continued: "Brother Zimei, even if he doesn't drink the water from my house, he will definitely be the number one scholar in high school. After drinking this water, he will not only be the number one scholar, but also be awarded the Imperial Academy!"

    Du Heng stretched out his hand in front of Ding Erkang: "Well, I heard that your plaster is the most effective in treating burns. I think my little injury will not trouble my brother Erkang."

    When Ding Erkang heard that Du Heng had been injured, he hurried to see Du Heng's wound. He saw a burn scar the size of a copper coin, which was slightly deep, and the skin had been scratched, with pus oozing out.  Ding Erkang said: "It doesn't matter if you are injured. I applied my ointment several times to keep you clean and clean without leaving any scars. However, is this injury related to your thrilling story? Brother Zimei, tell me quickly!"

    Du Heng said: "You don't take the ointment to heal the wound first, but you just want to listen to my story. You brother is absolutely unqualified. It was in vain for me to help you every day at that time, and the fifty boards you suffered together were also blind!  "

    Ding Erkang hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to get the plaster, brother Zimei, wait a moment. But, if your injury is cured this time, can the merit of the fifty boards be exposed?"  ?” (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
