Chapter 4 Waterloo's gambling showdown
Fortunately, in the middle of this month, there is a bronze Langzhong exam organized by Qixian County, and as long as you pass the exam, you can obtain the qualification to practice medicine in the rivers and lakes. Zhang Jiashu carefully flipped through the medical classics left by his father, and couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of ancient Chinese medicine, while Xiaocui waited on the sidelines, translating the names of some Chinese medicinal materials from time to time. For the re-operation of the medical hall, Yu Jiang was responsible for sorting out the medicinal materials and picking fresh medicinal materials, and the life of the three of them was only orderly.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, Zhang Jiashu immediately put down the brush in his hand and ran to check, only to see four patients outside, all of them with dark faces, diffuse eyes, and listlessness. Several shouted, "Is there a doctor here, help us!"
As soon as Zhang Jiashu saw the waiting situation, he closed the door tightly without saying a word, and he was half scared to death. After hurriedly putting on the homemade cloth masks, cloth protective clothing, and cloth gloves, Xiao Cui suddenly appeared, and when she saw Childe's appearance, she was surprised: "Childe, what are you doing here?"
"There were several dark-faced patients outside the door who said they wanted to see a doctor. ”
"But why does Childe look like this?"
"Don't you know about infectious diseases? They're probably infectious diseases!"
"What's the disease?" Xiao Cui was completely blinded.
"It's the plague you are talking about!" Zhang Jiashu explained impatiently, and then also dressed Xiao Cui in a set and covered her tightly.
Xiao Cui said hesitantly: "Childe, we don't have a medical certificate yet, and if the government knows about it, we will go to prison." ”
Zhang Jiashu suddenly remembered this question, and then shouted through the door and window: "Folks, I'm sorry, we don't have a doctor here, please go and practice medicine elsewhere!"
"Li Laohan from the Li Family Medical Center is not here, and there is no place to see a doctor. A woman outside said miserably. After that, there was a cry outside, as if someone had fainted.
Zhang Jiashu thought that it was not good, it was the doctor's mission to save people, he wanted to open the door to save them, but Xiaocui was obstructed on the side, but Zhang Jiashu still resolutely opened the door.
Through a series of diagnoses, he preliminarily ruled out the possibility of an infectious disease, and they should have a kidney disease. The two pairs of a man and a woman are two families in Hejia Village next to them, and they are neighbors, they said that they had eaten a plant called "auspicious grass", Zhang Jiashu thought that there must be something wrong with the auspicious grass, and it was inconvenient for him, so he decided to ask Xiaocui to take a few "auspicious grass" back.
Zhang Jiashu used a few flavors of Chinese medicine to concoct the "Spirit San" for the patient to drink, and the patient's condition was slightly relieved, at this time, a gust of wind blew open outside the door.
"Childe save me!" Xiao Cui was kidnapped by a black-robed woman who wore a black cloak, a black hat, and black silk to cover her face. The long knife in his hand was across Xiao Cui's neck, and that kind of knife should be the ancestor of Tang Dao. I saw Xiao Cui nervously motionless, holding the fresh auspicious grass tightly in her hand.
"What are you going to do!Let go of Xiaocui!" Zhang Jiashu yelled at the woman in black.
"You are the shopkeeper of this medical hall?" said the woman in a very low tone, revealing a hint of coldness and mystery, but the voice was extremely old, and it felt that the woman was nearly sixty years old.
"Yes, this son will not change his name, he will not change his surname, Zhang Jiashu!" Zhang Jiashu is full of confidence, because he always thinks that he is the protagonist and can overcome any difficulties.
"Okay, can you cure their illness?" said the woman in black.
"It's just a small illness, what a way!"
"Let's make a bet that if you can cure them, I'll let this girl go, and if you can't, I'll ...... Want...... You!" the woman said in a disdainful tone.
Zhang Jiashu thought to himself: What do you want me to do? Won't he be jealous of his son's beauty again! But for the sake of Xiaocui's safety, and he is already confident of this disease, so he should be punished.
After Zhang Jiashu responded, the woman raised her voice and flew away with Xiaocui, and a voice came from afar: "Tomorrow at noon, I will come, just a minor illness, ahahaha." ”
Zhang Jiashu picked up the auspicious grass that Xiaocui had thrown away, asked the patients, and they said that there was nothing abnormal, and it was a vegetable that they often ate on weekdays. Zhang Jiashu crushed the auspicious grass and pressed it into juice, and added egg white to it, only to see that the egg white solidified into a lump!
"That's right, it's heavy metal poisoning, you eat vegetables that contain heavy metals for a long time, which causes toxins to accumulate in the kidneys, and then you have symptoms of darkening. ”
"What are heavy metals?" the patient said, suspiciously.
Zhang Jiashu didn't bother to explain, thinking that the diseases in ancient times had any technical content, they were all pediatric tricks. Then he used the prescriptions recorded in the ancient books left by his father to try his hands, some Chinese medicine he had not heard of, honeysuckle, forsythia, licorice, pip, gypsum, egg white made of "heavy metal powder", these drugs he recorded in detail, which is equivalent to replacing the modern computer, and accumulate data to form a database, using big data thinking in ancient times to heal diseases.
After the patients took this powder, some patients immediately vented up and down, cleaning up all the toxins hidden in the liver and kidneys, and after the catharsis, many patients felt refreshed and praised Zhang Jiashu's superb medical skills.
Zhang Jiashu kept an eye on it, in case the woman in black got in the way, and asked the patients to stay in the hospital until noon tomorrow, and then lift the blockade before leaving.
At noon on the second day, a gust of black wind blew open the door of the "Tongfu Medical Center". is in a similar situation again, the woman in black held Xiaocui hostage and demanded that Zhang Jiashu fulfill the gambling contract.
"Look at it! These patients have been cured by me, you can release them!" Zhang Jiashu said confidently.
"Yes, Woman, we're all right. One of the patients said.
"Yes, how can I smell it, you are not well!" said the woman in a sinister tone.
Zhang Jiashu was anxious, for fear that the woman would play Laipi, and then said angrily: "Don't be a liar, so many people are witnesses!
"Please come out and soak up the afternoon sun!" the woman stepped out of the door.
A woman said, "Why don't you dare!" Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, within 10 minutes, she was depressed, and her face was dark again.
Zhang Jiashu was shocked, and the other patients didn't dare to go out, so a few knelt down and said, "Fairy Gu, please save my wife and us!"
"If you really have you, you will come to a silver-level Langzhong medical center to see a doctor! The woman in black said sneeringly.
The woman basking in the sun slowly crawled to the woman in black, pulling the woman's black robe and bowing her head and begging for help. The woman kicked her away, and let go of Xiao Cui, showing her waist card "Silver Taichang", but the takeaway of the Xingyi brand was wrapped in a black cloth embroidered with the unicorn logo.
When those patients saw the shining sign, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said one after another: "Fairy Gu, Fairy Gu!" Zhang Jiashu didn't care about the brand, but saw the black cloth, as if he remembered something, but it was just a flash, and then he couldn't think of it desperately.
"This is the elixir I developed, everyone can try it, everyone only needs to take one pill!" The woman in black slammed a jar of bottles on the ground, and the red pills in the bottle scattered out, enveloping the dust on the ground, but the patients scrambled to pick it up regardless of it, and swallowed it into their stomachs without saying a word. The patients suddenly felt a little refreshed, and it became more and more refreshing, and they even closed their eyes and enjoyed it, and then they involuntarily stood up and felt relaxed.
"Thank you, fairy elixir, and expose a quack!" said one of the men viciously to the woman in black.
Xiaocui cried as she listened, clutching Zhang Jiashu tightly, but Zhang Jiashu's mind was blank, and he had never had this situation in his medical practice. Suddenly, another woman said to the woman in black: "Immortal Gu, we want to punish this quack, I heard that none of them have medical licenses!" This knife was stabbed into Zhang Jiashu's heart.
"Oh, isn't that a sign of silver?" asked the woman in black.
A man next to him said: "As far as I know, it is his father Zhang Dongzhi, I have also seen patients on his side before, and he is also a generation of quack doctors, I also heard that he was originally the chief physician, but he was exposed by the current saint and fell into the small rivers and lakes here!"
"Hahaha, fulfill your promise!" quack doctor!" The woman in black approached Zhang Jiashu, Xiaocui picked up a wooden stool to resist, and said, "Childe, run!" but was knocked to the ground by the woman's palm.
Just as the woman was about to grab Zhang Jiashu, Yu Jiang, who had returned from collecting medicine, suddenly appeared! Yu Jiang picked up her long sword and stabbed at the woman in black, and the woman in black took out the small dagger on her body and gestured with Yu Jiang. Just when the two were fighting hot, a large number of officers and soldiers from the government rushed over, and the woman in black took out the jar on her waist and smashed it on the ground.
Yu Jiang thought that he couldn't fight so many officers and soldiers, and it would be useless to stay here, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape and think about it in the long run. When the smoke cleared, Xiao Cui, who fell to the ground, was taken back to the yamen by the officers and soldiers to await the trial.
