Chapter 137: Divine Doctor
Cao Bin, the commander of the Song army, heard that Han Xiaoyue, the Taishou of Tanzhou, was a young man under the age of thirty, so he sent Tuoba Ye to deceive and lure him, trying to make him willingly surrounded by the Song army. Han Xiaoyue, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, saw through this plan and showed him the formation deduced by the Tang Army and the kung fu of killing the enemy. It was confirmed from Li Jianwei's mouth that although Emperor Tang had the intention to fight, the anti-war voice in the court was rising, and there was indeed the possibility of peace talks and even the surrender of the Song Dynasty, which could not help but make people a little embarrassed.
Mu Yaqin asked Ah Qiu to take care of Xiao Wan on the one hand, and sent Chi Hai to monitor Long Yan on the other hand, while he went out every day to contact various inns and restaurants to arrange accommodation for the upcoming Qingshuimen and the old lady, and did not forget to ask the shopkeeper Cui about the whereabouts of the divine doctor Xiahou in the morning and evening. A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, but there is still no shadow of the divine doctor Xiahou. Xiao Wan can only rely on a little gruel every day to stay alive, and occasionally wakes up but falls asleep soon after. The arrows on his chest grow together with the flesh, and the slightest movement will cause the flesh to split and the blood will not stop. Xiao Wan is getting thinner and thinner, but Mu Yaqin never gives up. Even though they searched for Langzhong all over the city, no one dared to rescue them. Mu Yaqin understood that if this continued for a long time, Xiao Wan would die slowly and painfully sooner or later.
Yesterday, Mu Yaqin ordered the entire third floor of Chunxiangju for the old lady to entertain the guests of Qingshuimen. In Tanzhou City, only the three-story attic of Chunxiangju can accommodate more than a dozen people to dine at the same time. When I came out of the inn today, I happened to see Tuoba Ye's convoy driving quickly, raising a puff of dust, which made her cough and curse in her mouth: "What kind of person?
Mu Yaqin said: "Aren't the Song people at war with us, why are they still entering the city?" Another older citizen shook his head and said: "I guess it's going to be a peace talk! The newly appointed Taishou is a doll, I don't know if I can stop it!" Mu Yaqin said secretly: "Han Xiaoyue wants to talk to Song He, it's not like his style of acting!"
Mu Yaqin usually wants to take a look at Cui's Pharmacy every day, and she doesn't have much hope in her heart today. And the shopkeeper Cui was soliciting customers in the store as usual, but he was alone at the door, as if he was anxiously waiting for someone. Seeing Mu Yaqin coming out of the inn, he hurriedly shouted: "Girl, come quickly!" Mu Yaqin was shocked in her heart, and she was overjoyed for a while, feeling that what she was asking for seemed to have a turnaround, and hurriedly ran two steps to the shopkeeper Cui. Shopkeeper Cui rubbed his hands and said, "Girl, come quickly." The divine doctor Mr. Xiahou has arrived!", he said, and hurriedly introduced Mu Yaqin into the pharmacy.
Mu Yaqin was like in a dream, and when she heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "Where is Mr." Cui shopkeeper smiled and said nothing until he brought it into the backyard. Among the five rooms in the backyard, in the room with the sign of the word "Wen", an old man in white clothes and white beard carrying a medicine box is putting a herb on the tip of his nose to sniff, and he reads: "This herb has been a little long, and it should be discarded!"
Cui shopkeeper said outside the door: "Mr. Xiahou, the girl I told you is here, is it convenient now?" Xiahou turned around and saw that he was as skinny as wood, and a gust of wind blew, and the thin body in the white clothes was very obvious. Xiahou looked Mu Yaqin up and down, nodded and said, "Girl, please come in!"
Mu Yaqin couldn't wait to rush into the house, but she was so smoked by a strange fragrance mixed with herbs that she coughed. Shopkeeper Cui retreated, Xiahou laughed and said, "Girl, why can't you smell the fragrance of this herb?" Mu Yaqin felt rude, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiahou is smiling, he is a little impatient, please don't be surprised!"
Xia Hou smiled and said, "What are you impatient? Things in the world are fixed, and some things can't be rushed!" As he spoke, he put down the herbs in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, "It's like our doctors, if we have a quick temper, a little more medicine can kill people! Girl, please sit down!" Mu Yaqin gave a deep salute and said: "Mr. Xiahou, I can be regarded as bringing you here! Senior sister was wounded by an arrow, please ask Mr. to rescue!"
Xia Hou shook his head and said, "The old man pays attention to the 'three non-doctors' in treating diseases and saving people, I don't know if Shopkeeper Cui has ever told you?" Mu Yaqin shook his head. Xia Hou continued: "The so-called 'three non-doctors' mean that those who are sick do not receive medical treatment if their identity is suspicious, those who are not close to men and women in the sick places are not treated, and those who are sick are not treated if they are at the bottom of the marrow. I wonder if the injured person that the girl said coincides with the above order of the 'three non-doctors'?"
When Mu Yaqin heard this, she pondered: "Xiao Wan is a disciple of Fang Caohui, so her identity is naturally not suspicious. But the sick place is really the chest, and Mr. Xiahou is afraid that he will not treat it under the pretext of 'men and women are not close'. Besides, she has been wounded by an arrow for several days, and it is also a 'foci into the marrow'!" Thinking of this, Mu Yaqin had no idea. Seeing that she didn't speak, Xia Hou laughed and said, "It seems that this patient has all three." In that case, the old man will not keep the girl, the girl please!" he said, and got up to see off the guest.
How could Mu Yaqin let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Sir, don't worry, sir, listen to me slowly." After hearing this, Xiahou sat down again and leaned over to listen. Mu Yaqin continued, "The sick person is my junior sister, and we are both disciples of Fang Caohui, not suspicious people. The part of the arrow in the little junior sister is the chest, although there is a slight 'male and female incompatibility', but if I cover the rest of her chest, can I resolve my husband's concerns?" Xia Hou shook his head and said: "Even if the chest is covered, it will be very inconvenient when I start!
"The little junior sister is twenty years old. Xiahou frowned, shook his head and said, "Alas, the cardamom years are a good year!"
Mu Yaqin saw the helplessness on his face, and thought for a moment and said: "In addition, although Senior Sister Xiaowan has been injured for a few days, she sometimes has a moment of soberness now, can this be regarded as 'Burning into the Essence'?" Xia Hou smiled: "It is a miracle that the patient is still alive after several days of arrow wounds!" However, it is indeed a 'Stove of the Essence', if the old man can't save her, he will really live up to the name of 'Divine Doctor'!"
Hearing his tone, Mu Yaqin seemed to care very much about his reputation more than his life, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart: "Sir, is the name of a 'divine doctor' more important than my junior sister's life?" But seeing that she was so pressing, she said an expedient measure: "Girl, your junior sister is injured in the chest, and the old man and the man are indeed not easy to diagnose and treat." In addition, her arrow wound has not healed for several days, and the wound must have been infected and festered long ago, and there is no need for treatment! The old man doesn't care about anything else, but why should he let her suffer so much? From the patient's point of view, it is better to let her out of the sea of suffering!"
Mu Yaqin was impatient in her heart, held Xia Hou's arms and said, "Sir, did you give up on her like this? Even if it is painful, it is better than dying! Sir, don't be in a hurry to refuse, at least go and take a look at it first!" Xia Hou listened to it, thought for a moment and said: "Okay, in the face of the girl waiting for the old man here for a few days, the old man will go with you." If it really can't be cured, the old man will tell him bluntly. ”
Mu Yaqin listened, and said with great joy in her heart: "Great! Mr. Xiahou, let's go!" said that, he picked up Xiahou and was about to leave. Xia Hou hurriedly said: "Hey, don't worry, girl. Good things are not afraid of being late, let's talk while walking!"
From Cui's pharmacy to the Yuanlai Inn opposite, a short distance of more than 100 steps, the two chatted while walking. Xia Hou inquired about Fang Caohui's situation and learned about Xiao Wan's injuries. Since Mingtong, that is, Mr. Xu, the owner of the cave behind the Kuzen Temple, was burned by the Dang Xiang Divine Fire, Xiahou's medical skills have improved rapidly. In particular, the treatment of burns, arrow wounds, and sword wounds is even more effective. Xiahou already had a plan in his heart, but he was not completely sure. The two of them went to the inn and pushed the door in, but they smelled a foul smell in the house. This smell has become more and more intense in recent days as Xiaowan's wound continues to deteriorate, and although Mu Yaqin is infected by it day by day, she can't help frowning and covering her nose. But Xia Hou didn't react, as if he was no longer surprised by this taste.
Seeing Mu Yaqin coming back, Ah Qiu also brought an old man in white, hurriedly got up and said, "Master, you're back!" Mu Yaqin said: "Ah Qiu, come and see the divine doctor Mr. Xiahou." Ah Qiu hurriedly gave a deep salute, Xia Hou nodded and said, "The girl doesn't have to be formal, take me to see the injured!" As he spoke, led by Mu Yaqin, the three of them gathered around Xiaowan's bed.
Xiao Wan was asleep at the moment, the ulceration of the chest wound had spread all over her chest, and the clothes on her chest could no longer distinguish the color. Xia Hou sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to put his hand on Xiao Wan's wrist and probed carefully, and saw that her pulse was stable and weak, and there was a possibility of sudden arrest at any time. Then, Xia Hou glanced at Xiao Wan's chest through his clothes, frowned, and said, "Girl, this injured old man can be treated." But for this injured person, I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Mu Yaqin cried with joy when she heard this: "Mr. is willing to heal, of course it is Xiaowan's blessing!
Xia Hou nodded and said, "The reason why the old man said this is because the injured person's chest needs to be completely removed. And once it is removed, there is no doubt that 'men and women are not close'. As long as the chest is removed, I am 80% sure that it will be revived, and there is no such thing as 'entering the marrow'. Mu Yaqin was very excited just now, and when she heard that Xiahou was going to cut off Xiao Wan's chest, her expression suddenly changed: "It's so serious to have her chest removed?
Xia Hou said with a smile: "At the moment, the life and death of this girl are uncertain, the old man still suggests that she be rescued first, and then think about the future!
