The middle-aged man smiled and lowered his voice and said: "My name is Lu Duan, I am the Langzhong of the household department of the Great Song Dynasty, and I was ordered by the current emperor to visit all parts of Wu Yue Kingdom to learn about the achievements of officials in various places and observe the people's feelings. On that day, when passing by the foot of the crow mountain in the Xuanzhou area, he unexpectedly encountered a bandit. Several of my retinue were killed by the bandits in the fighting, because I was dressed in civilian clothes, and took advantage of the chaos to throw the official seal and holy decree package into the grass, and the bandits did not find out, and when I was an ordinary merchant traveler, they grabbed me up the mountain and blinded me. Fortunately, Yang Gongzi's medical skills were excellent, and he restored my sight and persuaded the thieves to let me go down the mountain. I went down the hill and found my parcel in the grass, and the Emperor's decree authorized me to mobilize the local garrison in case of emergency. I knew that Gongzi was also caught by the bandits on the mountain and placed under house arrest on the mountain, so I used the holy decree to urgently mobilize the garrisons of nearby states and counties to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the bandits and rescue Yang Gongzi. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and Yang Gongzi is safe and sound. ”

Only then did Yang Xianmao understand that he had inadvertently saved a Hubu Langzhong of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Emperor sent a minister of Weifu for a private visit. In the past, only the local garrison and local regimental training in Xuanzhou participated in the encirclement and suppression, and the garrisons of other prefectures and counties could not be mobilized, so there were not many officers and soldiers attacking the cottage. And this time, Lu Duan used the holy decree of the Great Song Emperor to mobilize the Great Song garrisons in the states and counties near Xuanzhou to participate in the encirclement and suppression, and the number was even more than 10,000, most of which were the elite regular troops of the Great Song Dynasty to participate in the battle, and there were only more than 1,000 bandits on the cottage, how could they resist, the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, plus the leader Xiong Feng happened to be in a state of anesthesia and could not command, so he had to break through the encirclement and escape in a hurry, and was annihilated countless times.

Lu Duan said to Yang Xianmao again: "I used the holy decree to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, only a few commanders of the garrison know, and no one else knows, including Zhong County Lieutenant, the matter has been completed now, and I will continue to be ordered to visit various places in private, so I also ask Gongzi to keep it secret for me." ”

Yang Xianmao nodded solemnly.

Lu Duan said again: "Young Master Yang, you have excellent medical skills, this time I will definitely report to the emperor and ensure that you go to the Tai Hospital to be an official." ”

Yang Xianmao shook his head and said, "Thank you Lord Lu for your kindness, but it's better not to sponsor me." ”

"Oh, why is that?"

Yang Xianmao has been in Wuyue Guojing Tai Hospital for ten years, and he is too familiar with the set of Tai Hospital, and feels that although Tai Hospital is a place for treatment, it is also full of intrigue and deceit, and he really doesn't like it in his heart. But he couldn't say that, so he said: "My lord, I hope to give my medical skills to more patients to relieve their pain, if you enter the Tai Hospital, it will be almost impossible to practice medicine in the people, so it is better not to go to the Tai Hospital, and my personality is not suitable for an official career." Of course, if the hospital needs me to participate in the consultation in the future, I will not refuse. ”

When Lu Duan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at Yang Xianmao and said, "The son has ambitions in all directions and has no intention of being an official, which is really admirable." Childe is right, Childe has such superb medical skills, when he serves the suffering of the people all over the world and relieves the pain of more people, going to the Beijing Tai Hospital will limit your hands and feet. Since Childe has already agreed that if the hospital needs to invite Childe for consultation when he encounters a difficult illness, Childe will not refuse, and this has already achieved the goal. Of course, if one day, Gongzi is willing to enter the court as an official, even if you come to the capital to find me, I will definitely protect you. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded and thanked him.

Lu Duan then gave up his hand, turned on his horse, and went down the mountain with a few sturdy plainclothes soldiers reselected for him by the commander of the garrison.

Yang Xianmao also said goodbye to Zhong County Lieutenant and took the three women down the mountain to return to the Xuanzhou City Huichun Hall Pharmacy.

Yang Mingde and his wife were of course overjoyed when they saw the child come back, because they didn't know that Yang Xianmao had been imprisoned in the bandit's nest for several months, and they thought that he had gone to the foreign government for medical treatment.

Yang Xianmao went to Yaque Village to practice medicine and earned back three hundred taels of silver, and before being caught by Xiong Feng and others on the mountain, he gave the money to Hongsheng'er and them, and asked them to bring it back to their parents. Yang Mingde took out more than half of the three hundred taels of silver to repay the debts, and all the debts of their family have been paid off, and the remaining money has also purchased some clothes, bedding, daily necessities and so on, and bought some food, so that the family no longer needs to eat the unpalatable wheat bran rice.

In other words, Yang Xianmao's visit to the clinic rescued the Yang family from the embarrassment and solved the problem of food and clothing.

On the way, Yang Xianmao had already told Hongsheng'er not to say that she was captured by the bandits, so as not to worry her parents.

When she sent the money before, Han Xue'e had already told the Yang couple about the identity of Hongsheng'er, and she was a slave and maid given by the sick family to Yang Xianmao. Yang Mingde and his wife have never had the experience of calling slaves, and seeing that Hongsheng'er was well-behaved, how could they bear to call her as a slave. Hongsheng'er is talented and intelligent, and very diligent, and she cleans up and down the pharmacy very cleanly and properly, especially her exquisite female red craftsmanship, after she came, she sewed a new set of clothes for the two old people, which not only fits very well, but also has very fine workmanship, which is much stronger than the clothes in the ready-to-wear shop, and Yang Mingde and his wife are very happy.

In this expedition to Yaque Ridge, many bandits were killed, and the lieutenant of Zhong County ordered them all to be transported back and stored in the mortuary of the Yamen for Yang Xianmao to dissect. There is a morgue in the Yamen mortuary, which is deep underground, the temperature is relatively low, and there is lime moisture absorption, so the body can be preserved for a certain period of time without decay.

Although Yang Xianmao had already dissected hundreds of corpses on Yaque Ridge, he was still very happy to thank County Lieutenant Zhong and spare at least half a day every day to go to the yamen to dissect corpses and practice his surgical skills.

Every time he dissected, Yang Xianmao brought Ruan Caiyun and Su Sanniang and asked them to participate. Especially Ruan Caiyun, Yang Xianmao taught her the skills that various assistants should master in the dissection.

Through the dissection of these corpses, especially the exercise of surgical techniques, Ruan Caiyun's surgical skills as an assistant have been rapidly improved.

Su Sanniang is responsible for taking care of the patients, helping with urinary catheters, enemas or something, and there are also many things that need to be practiced, and they are quickly mastered under the guidance of Yang Xianmao.

…………

Nguyen Caiyun is in a happy mood these days.

Last time, she followed Yang Xianmao to Yaque Village for treatment, and she got a sum of money from her sister-in-law. After returning, he discussed with his brother to renovate the family's house, and at the same time bought clothes for his family, bought new fishing nets and fishing rods, and his life changed greatly, which made many people in the village envious. Therefore, there are more matchmakers who come to her house to say goodbye, but Ruan Caiyun has clearly told her brother and sister-in-law that she will find her marriage by herself and does not need a matchmaker.

Her brother and sister-in-law secretly thought to themselves, this little girl may have someone in her heart, so she is not in a hurry. Fortunately, she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is not too old, so she can wait for two years, so she does not rush.

Because of the new nets, the number of fish caught has also increased, and the family's income has also increased. It's just that Yang Xianmao rarely needs her to help with surgeries. Because although Yang Xianmao's disemboweling and disemboweling medical skills caused a great sensation in Xuanzhou City, after all, it is too incredible, believing that this kind of disemboweling person will not die and can cure the disease There are not many people, and even fewer are willing to use this method to treat the disease, so there are not a large number of patients looking for him to disembowel and disembowel for treatment, and everyone is still skeptical when it comes to this terrifying treatment.

On this day, Ruan Caiyun and her sister-in-law Su Sanniang carried two buckets of fish to the city to sell.

Ruan Caiyun walked in front with her burden, talking to her sister-in-law as she walked, she saw a young woman on the side of the road in the distance, carrying a small package, limping forward, obviously, this woman had walked a long way, and it seemed that she couldn't walk anymore.

Ruan Caiyun was a little strange, because she saw that this woman was wearing a coarse cloth shirt that only ordinary country women wear, and she also wore a green cloth apron around her waist.

Therefore, when the two of them walked past the woman with their burdens, Ruan Caiyun glanced at her, and the woman also turned her head to look at them, smiled reluctantly, and said, "May I ask the two girls, how far is it to go to Xuanzhou?"

Ruan Caiyun listened to his speech and conversation was not as bold as a peasant girl, she couldn't help but be a little curious, and looked at it, only to see this woman's curved eyebrows, with a touch of sadness between her eyebrows, a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes are moving, especially impressive is her skin, bright and delicate, and her words are soft, wide and rough coarse cloth clothes, put on her slender body, but it can still show a kind of nobility. Because of this woman's temperament, she gives people a sense of otherworldliness, just like the dignified and dignified ladies who came out of the painting.

If it's really everyone's ladies, then it's no wonder that they can't bear to walk the mountain road and limp around.

Thinking of this, Ruan Caiyun couldn't help but lower her head and look at the shoes on her feet, and at this look, she couldn't help but sigh, because this girl was not wearing the cloth shoes of an ordinary peasant girl, but a pair of beautifully embroidered shoes. The front is black, with a moire embroidered along the upper with gold silk thread, and an elegant lotus flower is embroidered on the upper of the shoe.

Isn't it a waste for a peasant girl to wear such beautiful embroidered shoes for farm work? Judging from the shoes, it is enough to prove that this woman is not a peasant girl, but should be the eldest lady of a large family.

Ruan Caiyun didn't know how the woman from this big family appeared alone on this remote mountain road, and wore a coarse blue shirt that did not match her identity at all. However, Ruan Caiyun is not a person who likes to listen to other people's stories, so he only said: "There are still more than ten miles to go." Go down to the base of the mountain, go up another mountain, wind your way through, and then go down the mountain and go forward for a while, and follow the path all the way to the point, with no other forks. ”

Ruan Caiyun was afraid that she didn't know the way, so she explained in detail. The main thing is to have some sympathy for this woman who is likely to have a sad story.
