The early morning mist enveloped this small mountain town. There were weeds growing in the cracks of the stone slabs on the street, and the dew on the grass leaves had not dried yet. The air in Shu was really much wetter than in the north.

The roosters crowed and dogs barked from afar. The rising sunlight shone softly and weakly through the wet mist, illuminating the low and old buildings. Guo Shao looked at the scene in front of him and felt like he was looking at an old photo; the black dots printed on the pale sky with petals floating in the sky were like spots and flaws exposed in the photo.

Guo Shao and his entourage walked slowly, and he was seeing the scenery here that was different from other places. Maybe he only went here once in his life. Although it was for war, he was still very interested in the scenery after he was idle after a little while. In modern times, people are willing to pay a lot of money from hard work to support it for travel, which is an interesting thing in itself. In this era, transportation is inconvenient and travel is even more difficult. If it weren't for the serious work here, what would Guo Shao come to do?

A petal fell on Guo Shao's shoulder. He couldn't help but turn to see that the petal fell on the iron armor, but it felt very special. Guo Shao was careful and reached out to pick up the light red petal. After looking at it, he couldn't recognize what kind of flower it was, so he put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

Guo Shao looked up at the falling flowers in the air, and then he saw a little girl coming towards him twisting her waist gently. She was walking in the direction of the sunshine on the east side, walking in the fluttering rain of flowers. This scene actually made Guo Shao slightly stunned.

The little girl was wearing a linen coat and a veil hat, and couldn't see her face clearly, but Guo Shao could feel that she was staring at her because her head was slightly tilted and her face was facing her.

Guo Shao's sharp eyes were mainly because he had seen many very beautiful beauties, so no matter what the woman wore, he could tell at a glance that the little girl in front of him had a good figure. In this mountainous town, he saw men and women with rough appearance on the road in the city, which may be because of the long-term hard work. He didn't expect that he could see women who made him feel good here, and Guo Shao's vision had been raised by those beautiful beauties.

The little lady is not tall and looks petite compared to the northern women. It may be because of her small bones, but the graceful waist twisting movement has exposed her buttocks and legs that look unusual. Unfortunately, she can't see her face.

The group walked over silently without saying a word. Guo Shao passed by his mother and immediately smelled a nice smell in the breeze. It was not the smell of rouge powder, but the indescribable smell unique to young girls... What is it? Ziyouxiang Guo Shao was not sure, but the unmarried daughter of a good family does have a special smell; it was probably because of a mature body, so the human body secreted more vigorously.

Guo Shao is not a eunuch, so of course he will feel it, but that's all. He has a lot of thoughts in his mind, but most of the time people don't do anything.

However, the little girl had already walked by and looked back at Guo Shao. Guo Shao thought she was average and was not a handsome guy with a high turnaround rate. She felt a little strange at this time.

"Oh!" Suddenly, a soothing cry came.

When Guo Shao turned around, he saw that the little girl actually hit a tree, and the hat on her head fell off, revealing her black and beautiful hair. "Hahaha..." The generals burst into laughter when they saw this.

"Laughing at you, mom, what's the good thing about your mother?" The little girl turned her head and cursed in anger. Her face suddenly made everyone stunned: It was swollen.

Such a good figure, her face was actually that kind of deity... Her whole face was swollen, blue and purple, as if she had just been beaten, and she was only slapped in the face. Even her eyes turned into a slit. She hurriedly picked up her hat and put it on.

Luo Mengzi smiled and said with a smile: "If my mother had you young, my father wouldn't have laughed and woken up before? His face was a little strange, and he couldn't stop his youth!"

"Yes!" The little lady spitted, turned around and left angrily.

Another general laughed and said, "The voice is not bad, like a string of beads. His temper is really hot. He dares to act wildly in front of us, and the people of Tokyo dare not."

Everyone had a quieter atmosphere just now, because a woman started to chat and laugh. As expected, a group of men were together, and there would always be common topics whenever they were together.

There was also the magistrate of Wushan County next to him, and then said, "The mountain village woman is unaware of it, so I can laugh."

Guo Shao asked: "Will you pass by the mountain road you mentioned that you can go to Kuizhou where Bai Lao lived in Wushan?"

"Different roads." said the county magistrate, "Wushan Baima lives in Baishuwan, which is about twenty miles away from the county town, but it is difficult to walk on the mountain road, so it is not enough to travel one day."

The county magistrate said some small place names. Guo Shao knew nothing, but he didn't even know where the direction was. He said casually, "Wushan Bailao's reputation has spread for hundreds of miles. Even Jiangling Mansion in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River knows her. She doesn't live in the county town or in the valley?"

"Strangely, Wushan Bailao is also famous in our area, but she is not an important figure. She is becoming more and more famous in other places." said the county magistrate.

Guo Shao asked again: "She is really a superb medical skill?"

The county magistrate immediately said: "Of course, how can this county allow barefoot doctors to cheat? She has real skills. It is said that the Bai family's medical skills have been passed down for hundreds of years and have accumulated a lot of money. Moreover, medical skills have been passed down by men but not women. But when Bai Lao Lao was in Wushan... Hiss, he usually said her name, but the officials didn't pay attention to what her name was... When Bai Lao Lao's generation in Wushan, the Bai family had no male members and had to pass them to the eldest daughter."

"Since you dare to call your grandma, you should be quite old?" Guo Shao walked towards the north city and chatted with the county magistrate.

The county magistrate thought for a while: "It's not too old, maybe it's less than thirty years old. She had married before, and it took about five or six years to be divorced."

"Being retired?" Guo Shao said curiously, "Why were he retired?"

The county magistrate frowned and thought: "Xiaoguan has worked in Wushan County for three years, and many things have been heard of. It is said that her husband went to Chengdu Prefecture for a scientific examination, passed the Jinshi, and was very talented in literature and was handsome. He was attracted by the lady from Chengdu... At that time, Bai Lao was not famous, not to mention that he had medical skills, how could he compare with the lady from a young and beautiful lady from a noble family? That lady could not be a concubine, so Bai Lao's husband divorced her, because she was not a wife and stealing people, and it seemed that she had caught some tricks.

After Wushan Bai Lao was angry, he soon had a white hair. Later, he became very skilled in medicine. Who can guarantee that he would suffer from three diseases and two pains? He would naturally be praised in words. This is probably what the name of "Wushan Bai Lao Lao" is called, not because she is an old woman."

"So that's it." Guo Shao smiled, "Chen Shimei's story is very common."

Everyone didn't know who he was talking about, but they didn't ask in detail. Maybe they were just like Wushan Bailao's husband.

Guo Shao said: "I have a good friend who is a powerful figure in Tokyo. Maybe he has a serious illness, but the doctor in Tokyo just can't cure him. If Wushan Bailao can cure him, she will definitely give him a good reward. In the future, she will ask the court for an imperial examination or pay for her to build a clinic, which will not be a problem."

"The officials have sent someone to Baishuwan to treat her, and they should be able to come tomorrow." The county magistrate hurriedly said.

...After a while, the group had already arrived at the city wall in the north. It was not far away, and there were only two streets from the county government, so Guo Shao had just said he wanted to walk around before.

Upon climbing the city wall, the county magistrate pointed to a narrow road on the distant hillside: "It's that road. You can walk by land without passing the Qumen (Qutang Gorge) plank road, but bypass Kuizhou. The mountain on the north bank of Qumen is Chijia Mountain, which is continuous, so the Yangtze River channel is its gateway; but there is a shorter opening in the north of Chijia Mountain. There is a road from the northwest of Wushan County. After crossing Chijia Mountain, you can reach Kuizhou by walking along the river valley."

Guo Shao looked at the road and could only see a small road on the mountain. The mountains ahead were endlessly blocking his sight and seeing nothing, so he had to imagine.

"If you find a way to find someone who has walked this road, I will send two people to explore the road first to see if it can be done." Guo Shao was still a little cautious. He had no idea about the terrain and road here. The Yangtze River was the most obvious sign... Now that I left the Yangtze River to detour along the Yangtze River, if it was too hasty, if 20,000 people were trapped in the valley, how could I explain to the soldiers?

The county magistrate said: "Mountains will not go so far, and it is difficult to walk on the road. Please see if you can find those who sell mountain goods."

Guo Shao nodded and continued to look at the countless mountains in vain.

The county magistrate said again: "Tonight, the gentry of this county brought the people to comfort the soldiers. This is the intention of the scholars and people of Wushan County. I hope General Guo and the soldiers will accept it with a smile."

At this time, Zuo You said, "I went to see it. Among the people who came to reward the army, there were mountain people and many women. After drinking, the soldiers had to be wary of their misconduct, which would damage the lord's reputation."

Guo Shao said: "We have strictly implemented military disciplines and sent troops to serve as the camp. There will be nothing wrong... The soldiers worked hard for many days and were allowed to do nothing after they entered the city. It just so happened that they could eat and drink happily and relax. This is human nature."

Zuo You whispered: "The people in this place, especially the mountain people, are much more frivolous than those in the Central Plains, those women..."

Guo Shao understood Zuo You's meaning and said, "Yesterday I said that I treated Shu people equally; but even if the Imperial Guards were in Tokyo, the Tokyo women and soldiers voluntarily communicated with each other, would the military law punish the soldiers? As long as we are not doing evil, how can we have time to take care of so much?"

After hearing this, Zuo You said, "That's true. We have not burned, killed and robbed like those chaotic soldiers before, and we have become very restrained."

Guo Shao nodded and said, "Treat the people well, mainly an attitude, and future governance strategies, something that plays a practical role. We are not doing show off, we have to dress ourselves up as saints, and soldiers are also human beings. Just let ordinary people look like what they should be."
