Lianliang County
Yangjia Village
Eighty percent of the people in the village are surnamed Yang, and they are the same ancestor, so there are few disputes between neighbors, and the back of the village is facing the water, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the land is fertile, and the harvest in the village has always been good, and everyone lives happily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Last year, there was a happy event - the newly appointed parents official of Lianliang County, the county magistrate personally came to the village to visit the patriarch of the Yang family, and the second young master of the patriarch and the county magistrate were in the same year, and the county magistrate also brought the second young master's family letter to the Yang patriarch.
The villagers of Yangjia Village have a simple temperament, and they have no deep hatred with other villages, so they don't need to bully others, but there is a county lord who favors their village, and his waist pole is still more upright than usual when he walks outside.
The New Year was joyful, and by the beginning of April this year, many villagers' faces were covered with gloomy clouds.
When the children in the family are sick, which adult can still laugh? And half of the children in the whole village are sick, and the whole village is not at ease.
No one in the Yang patriarch's family is sick yet, but as the patriarch and village head, it is not a trivial matter that half of the children in the village have fallen, so he took the initiative to take the silver and let his family take a carriage to the county town to invite Lang Zhong over.
Yangjia Village is four miles away from the county seat, usually the villagers rarely enter the city, as for if there is a family sick, then the young man will drive into the city, go to the pharmacy to dictate the condition, Lang Zhong speculated what kind of disease this is, and then grab the medicine back, this is good to eat is life, eat bad is also life.
This is not only the case in Yangjia Village, but also in several nearby villages far away from the county seat, how can any pharmacy be opened in a small mountain village like theirs?
Therefore, when the patriarch actually paid out of his own pocket to invite Lang Zhong from the county seat to come to the village to treat the children, many old people were so moved that they folded their hands and chanted the Buddha, and several young people were also happy, laughing and laughing and falling to the ground......
"What's the matter?!" The villagers who had just seen hope were shocked again, and hurriedly helped the young people who fell to the ground to get up, only to find that these people were also with their eyes closed and their bodies hot, similar to the sick children in the village.
"These children are afraid that they have long been sick, and they are afraid that everyone will be anxious so they can't bear to say it, but I don't hear that Langzhong is coming, and finally I am relieved...... "There are old people who wipe their tears when they understand it, they are all good children!"
Patriarch Yang's brows were locked tighter, when half of the children in the village fell ill at the same time, he had a very bad feeling, and now even the young people have fallen...... "It's rare that Langzhong is coming to our village, don't pretend to be okay if the big guys are sick, sign up, and let Langzhong go from house to house to show you in a while." ”
When the patriarch gave such an order, everyone thought that it was a rare opportunity, but in the end, the disease was also prioritized, and no one who was slightly unwell was embarrassed to compete with seriously ill children, so in the last count, there were more than 20 people, except for the five old people who were well-known medicine jars in the village, the others were all new diseases.
Seeing such statistical results, not only Patriarch Yang was uneasy, but also people in the village who had a little bit of knowledge were also a little panicked.
It's going to be fine, aren't you going to invite Langzhong? The Langzhong in the city are all serving the rich, and they can't stand in the city at all without real skills, so it's not easy to deal with their little problems as country children.
The people in the village comforted themselves and comforted each other, and then looked forward to the stars and the moon at the entrance of the village, and the carriage quickly brought back Langzhong in the city!
Patriarch Yang is very organized, he calculated the time first, and it will take two hours to go back and forth at the earliest, so don't be idle at these two hours, let's discuss it first, but let Lang Zhong see it first, of course, everyone can rest assured, every family will have their turn, and if they can't finish watching it today, they will not let Lang Zhong go, so they live in the patriarch's house, and the patriarch is responsible for food and accommodation.
With the patriarch's words to reassure the hearts of the villagers, when it was almost noon, when they saw Langzhong in the city where the carriage was finally picked up, the villagers did not rush to pull Langzhong to their own house, but the stars hugged Langzhong to Yang Daxin's house at the head of the village.
Yang Daxin is the younger brother of the Yang patriarch, but the relationship is not particularly close on weekdays, this time his youngest son has been sick for several days, and it is sad enough to be groggy and drowsy, but just now the eldest son fell again, and his family only has these two sons, so watching the villagers take care of Langzhong to treat his family first, the whole family was moved to cry and thank him.
It was the Yang family's servant who went to invite Langzhong, and at this time he whispered to Master Yang about Langzhong's situation: "After the little one entered the city, according to the master's instructions, he looked for the largest medical hall in the county, Ren'an Hall, where Lang Zhongguang asked for a penny of silver, and when he heard that we were far away from here, he didn't want to come, but he said that the second young master of our family was an official in the capital, and the local He County Order was the same year as him, so I am afraid that he will not be invited!"
"It's okay, just come. He paid out of his own pocket to ask Lang Zhong to treat the villagers, even if he played the signboard of the He County Order, he would not discredit the county magistrate, and now Patriarch Yang is most concerned about Lang Zhong being diagnosed as soon as possible.
Lang Zhong, surnamed Sun, is only middle-aged, experienced and in good health, otherwise he would not have maintained his spirit and spirit during the bumps in the mountain road for more than an hour, and he could immediately diagnose and treat the patient as soon as he arrived at the place.
The patient's anxious mood Sun Langzhong is understandable, and Ren'an Tang also has a rule that you can't eat and take it and then treat people, which is bad for the reputation of the doctor, so Sun Langzhong even waved his hand and refused the tea offered by the patient: "Let's talk about the patient's situation first." ”
Before, when the patriarch Yang asked people to invite Lang Zhong, he specially told him that he couldn't say that many people in the village were sick, for fear that Lang Zhong would not be in trouble, and after Lang Zhong came, each family was only allowed to talk about their own affairs, not to say that many people in the village were sick.
Because of this order, Yang Daxin honestly only talked about the situation of his two sons, saying that the younger son was sick, dizzy and feverish, and lost appetite, and the adults in the family thought that it was injured food, and this according to the usual experience, it can be fine if you are hungry for two meals, but after being so hungry for two days, the child is cold sweating, and the illness is getting worse and worse, and the eldest son is also fainting this morning.
Sun Langzhong's expression became more and more cautious when he heard this, one of the family was sick, and it was good to say that the two of them had the same disease, and those who studied medicine should consider being infectious, so he took out the cloth towel in the medicine box to cover his mouth and nose first, and then put on gloves before checking Yang Daxin's youngest son.
When he unbuttoned the child's clothes and saw the red rash on the patient's chest and back, Sun Langzhong's face suddenly changed, and he didn't care about going to see Yang Daxin's eldest son anymore, so he hurriedly went out of the house and said solemnly in the courtyard: "This is typhoid fever!"
The word typhoid fever is not unfamiliar to ordinary villagers, and they were shocked at the moment, and some people forgot the instructions of the Yang patriarch and asked: "Many children and young people in the village are sick, can't they all be typhoid fever!?"
"There are still a lot of people in your village who are sick?" Sun Langzhong's face became even more ugly, knowing that he would not come even if he gave more silver.
"Since Sun Langzhong has already come, please save people to the end. Patriarch Yang stepped forward and said, he was prepared, so while asking, his eyes also aimed at the carriage that pulled Sun Lang Zhonglai Village at the gate of the courtyard.
Sun Langzhong could ignore Yang Daxin who knelt on the ground and cried for him to save his life, but he understood Patriarch Yang's hints, and he was also afraid, if he didn't make a move, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to go back...... "Typhoid fever can only do its best to obey the destiny of heaven, this medicine is useless, don't come to me again......"
Seeing that Sun Langzhong put a pen to prescribe medicine, Patriarch Yang still believed that he would not smash the brand of Ren'an Hall: "We are very grateful that you can make a move, and everyone is not an unreasonable person, now I will let someone send you back to the city, and grab the medicine by the way." ”
"There is no ...... in the county that can guarantee a cure for typhoid fever," Sun Langzhong said the truth, "If you don't believe my recipe, you can find another family to try again...... This means that the water will lead to disaster."
Patriarch Yang still bowed his hand politely: "Thank you......"
This man...... Sun Langzhong didn't know whether to say that this patriarch was big-hearted or ignorant, and he could still be so calm when there was a bad illness in the village, anyway, he did everything he should have done as a doctor: "Don't say I didn't remind you, I have a rule that once the number of people suffering from a serious disease in a village exceeds one-tenth of the number of people in the whole village, it must be reported to the local government, otherwise the consequences will be more serious!"
When a doctor discovers a problem, he or she must inform the local village chief, who will count the number of people in the village and report it.
"Thank you......" Patriarch Yang still just thanked him.
At this time, it was already noon, but who dared to eat in a village with typhoid fever, and Patriarch Yang no longer made it difficult for others, so he paid the consultation fee and asked the servants to send Sun Langzhong back to the city, and at the same time whispered to go to another medical hall and invite another Langzhong.
So in the afternoon, the carriage brought another Langzhong to treat the children of another family......
"This is a vicious typhoid fever!" This Langzhong did not bring hope to the villagers, and still reproduced the scene of Sun Langzhong at that time.
The two Lang Zhong saw that both of them said this, and then thought that the sick children and young people in the village were all similar symptoms, and the village suddenly cried.
"What's the use of crying!" the third uncle in the village said with a cane, and then turned to Patriarch Yang, "His eldest nephew, what do you say about this, do you want to ......report it?"
The population of Dujia Village is less than 100, and there are more than a dozen people who fell ill this time, and according to the regulations, they should be reported...... And then the village is probably going to be sealed off, and it will be even more difficult for them to get a doctor for medicine, but I am afraid that the whole village will not be better......
Patriarch Yang was comparing the prescriptions prescribed by the two Langzhong, and the medicinal materials in them were almost the same, proving that these two Langzhong were not perfunctory, he listened to the words of the third uncle and thought for a while and decided: "Don't report it first, isn't this already prescribed, maybe it'll be fine after a few days, if you really can't do it, it's not too late to report it." ”
It is a sin not to report it in time, and the people in the village also understand that Patriarch Yang is responsible for it!
