Chapter 330 The Zhong Family
In September, the one from Beijing finally came.
This time he came not only to treat the gangrene on his back, but also to bring an instruction from the Holy Sage to investigate Pei Shixian and, if the situation was true, take him to Beijing to meet the Holy Sage.
Because Pei Shixian had already become famous in Qinchuan County, he was called Pei Tianshi.
According to rumors, Master Pei Tian knew both astronomy and geography, and could predict the future and discern the fortune of the stars.
Moreover, he also has a daughter with great fortune. It is said that even Qin Tianjian made calculations for her, and she once saved the life of King Dai.
"Brother Wuchang, you have such a leisurely life." Qin Zhaolin looked at the village in front of him with his hands behind his back: "This place has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. No wonder there are so many strange people here."
Zhou Wuchang glanced at him sideways: "What does the stranger you mentioned have to do with this small village?"
Qin Zhaolin touched his nose and said with a smile: "Isn't the young apprentice mentioned in your letter considered a stranger?"
Zhou Wuchang said impatiently: "My apprentice is not a stranger, she is just a little smarter than others."
Then he motioned to his eldest apprentice: "Take the senior official of Zhongcheng to take a bath. Be sure to clean him well to avoid inhaling anyone."
Qin Zhaolin snorted, ignored Zhou Wuchang, and went straight to follow Zhou Hao.
He really didn't like bathing. He drank too much in the winter. He even took off his cotton-padded clothes and caught lice while sitting in the sun with some old friends. They competed to see who could catch more lice and who could pinch them louder. Even a gangrene on his back didn't bother him. care.
When the abscess became deeper and deeper, Qin Zhaolin became concerned, but repeated treatments failed to cure it.
In the past two years, his health has deteriorated day by day. He can't even drink alcohol. Whenever he drinks, abscesses break out on his back, which makes him miserable.
Not long ago, Zhou Wuchang, whom he grew up with, suddenly received a letter asking him to come to the small village for medical treatment. Qin Zhao and Lin Zhengchou couldn't find a reason to leave the capital, but coincidentally the emperor actually asked him to inspect Luzhou and look for talented people.
After taking a bath, Qin Zhaolin stood on the wall of Jiang's courtyard with wet hair and looked around, sighing in his heart.
The entire village is surrounded by a circle of tall honey locust trees. The houses in the village are neat, the vegetable beds are green, the elderly and children are well dressed and look happy.
There is also a market outside the village, which is already quite large.
There are not only oil shops, bamboo shops, and tofu shops in the market, but also butcher shops, cloth shops, and carriage shops.
"Stop looking, go down quickly, my apprentice is ready." Zhou Wuchang urged beside him: "You have to hold back when you turn around for surgery. My little apprentice usually doesn't drink Ma Feisan to others, so you have to hold on. , don’t embarrass me.”
Qin Zhaolin glared at him: "If others can hold on, I can naturally do it too. You don't need to remind me."
When the two came to the patient room, they saw an eight or nine-year-old girl sorting knives.
Wearing a mask, she said to Qin Zhaolin: "Take off your shirt."
Qin Zhaolin glanced at Fa Xiao and couldn't help but tremble when he saw Fa Xiao looking at him expressionlessly.
Zhou Wu often saw him grinding and chirping, and ordered his apprentice: "Take off the coat of the high official, tie his limbs to the bamboo bed, and tie them tightly."
Zhou Hao and his second disciple followed their instructions, stepped forward and took off Qin Zhaolin's shirt, dragged him to the bamboo bed, and laid him down. Regardless of his struggle, they tied his limbs firmly to the bamboo bed.
"What are you doing?" Qin Zhaolin asked anxiously: "Why are you tying me up?"
"This saves trouble." Zhou Wuchang sat on a chair nearby, picked up a medical classic and read it.
Qin Zhaolin said angrily: "I am a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and you treat me like this? What kind of behavior is this?"
"Stop talking, it will affect my apprentice's operation, and you will be the one who suffers." Zhou Wuchang opened the book in his hand.
Qin Zhaolin: "······"
Outside the hospital room, several guards who were not allowed to enter were enjoying watching a few children riding a deer in a competition. Suddenly, they heard their master howl violently in the room, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
"What's going on? Do you want to go in and take a look?" a guard asked.
"No, the little miracle doctor is operating on Lang Jun. What if it affects him when we go in?" Another person believed in Master Zhou's character and he would definitely not harm his master.
Then there were several more screams like slaughtering pigs, and several guards couldn't stand it any longer, so they hurriedly walked away, not listening to them but not bothering them.
Half an hour later, the door to the patient room was opened. Yingbao came out with the medicine box. First, she boiled and sterilized the knives in a separate jar. Then she took off her special coat and put it together with the mask in another large jar. Boil.
There was charcoal under the jar. Chun Niang looked at the fire and asked her daughter to rest.
Yingbao now has great experience in treating back gangrene, and uses common herbs, such as dandelion, thistle, honeysuckle, etc., which can be picked in the wild.
Moreover, when she meets patients who are not seriously ill, she only needs to give them herbs boiled with Pupil Spring. There is no need to use Wudingzhi, and the patient recovers well.
This greatly saves one's own Wudingzhi, and also allows the patient to spend less money.
Three days later, Qin Zhaolin was finally able to go out for a walk, and even went to the village school with Zhou Wuchang.
Seeing his popularity, Li Xu immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Late student Li Xu has met you sir."
"No need to be polite." Qin Zhaolin waved his hand and started chatting with him.
When I learned that Li Xu was only in his twenties and was going to take the exam next year, I couldn't help but nodded with approval and asked him a few questions on the spot.
The contents of the rural examination include not only the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects of Confucius, and the policy questions of Zhongyong University, but also the expression of opinions on current affairs and government affairs. If the candidates have no insight into these, they are probably the candidates for failure.
Li Xu answered seriously, and his words were to the point. Although he was young, he had his own opinions.
Qin Zhaolin suddenly became interested in talents and immediately gave him guidance.
Zhou Wu saw the situation and went to the martial arts training ground next to the school to watch the children practice martial arts.
His two young apprentices also practiced fighting here, each holding a wooden knife in their hands and attacking each other.
Zhou Wuchang looked at it expressionlessly, feeling that this sword technique was very familiar.
Once upon a time, there was a person who knew how to use a sword very well, but he was shot to death by the enemy's arrows.
That amazing young man from the Zhong family will never come back.
However, it is said that he has a son, but it is unknown where he lives.
Zhou Wuchang looked at Zhang Meng carefully again.
He didn't know this man, and he didn't know if he was a subordinate of General Zhong.
But I can't ask myself.
Because General Zhong's father and son died in the battle, another son of the Zhong family rebelled. Later, he was suppressed by the court and the nine members of the Zhong family were killed.
Therefore, many generals of the Zhong Family Army fled the army and disappeared.
Ying Bao and her second senior brother danced the sword skills several times and practiced unarmed combat several times before putting away their wooden swords and going home.
Zhang Minze is still sparring with Jiang Wu.
He didn't believe in evil, and he couldn't beat a seven-year-old baby.
A few days later, Qin Zhaolin's back was completely healed and he set off for Qinchuan County. Before leaving, he took several bottles of sesame oil and Jiang's soybean paste with him.
Zhou Wuchang also went back with his eldest apprentice, but he did not bring his second apprentice and his younger apprentice Ying Bao.
Ying Bao was so happy that he couldn't leave, but Zhang Min was very depressed, always feeling that the master didn't want him anymore.
Make progress quickly and let Yingbao grow up immediately.
