Chapter 85 Wang Shu whose life hangs by a thread
In an unknown pharmacy in Chang'an City, there was a group of people standing quietly, and ordinary people did not dare to approach at all, just because each of them had a strong murderous aura and bloody smell on their bodies.
There were no other guests in the pharmacy, and it was Wang Shu who had escaped death who was lying on the sickbed in the inner hall, and Xiang Qing was sitting next to him.
An old man with a childish face was concentrating on Wang Shu's pulse, and under Xiang Qing's order, everyone did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the old man to see a doctor for Wang Shu.
Wang Shu, who was lying on the sickbed, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed into a Sichuan character, his face was pale, without the slightest blood, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs on the bedding on his body, he would almost be a dead man.
The old man was dressed in white, quite a bit of a fairy wind and bones, but he was wearing a cloak, his right hand was Wang Shu's pulse, but his left hand was holding a wine gourd, and he drank a sip from time to time, his cheeks were flushed, and his whole body exuded the smell of wine.
The owner of this medical hall also stood quietly aside, his eyes kept staring at the old man, and it could be seen from all his demeanor that he had extreme admiration for this old man.
After a while, the old man nodded, withdrew his hand to check Wang Shu's pulse, stuffed Wang Shu's arm into the futon, and then covered the lid of the wine gourd, so that the wine in the audience was slightly restrained.
Although Xiang Qing was anxious about Wang Shu's situation, he didn't dare to speak loudly to this old man, if this old man couldn't save Wang Shu, then Wang Shu's life would probably have to be explained in this Chang'an City.
"Sir, sir." Xiang Qing hesitantly called out to the old man twice.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes, it turned out that he had dozed off just now, he smiled awkwardly, his face was full of wrinkles, and his white beard kept trembling.
"Oh, this person's disease, the old decay has already seen it, and it is not a big problem, and the disease can be cured when the medicine arrives." The old man said slowly.
Xiang Qing was overjoyed, grabbed the old man's hand and kept thanking him, but Xiang Qing's hand strength, even if he tried his best to restrain it, it was enough to be a hundred catties, and there was something that an old man could withstand.
"Oops! Hey, Childe! Son! You've got a lot more hands! The old man kept crying out in pain.
Xiang Qing withdrew his hand embarrassedly, smiled awkwardly, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry sir, I'm really overjoyed, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, the old body bones can still withstand the toss."
didn't expect Xiang Qing to apologize to others, but Liu Hu was unwilling, he had long been unaccustomed to this hanger, relying on the old and selling the old.
"Phew! Thou art old man! My second master asks you to treat your illness because he can afford you! Thou hast to be presumptuous! Liu Hu shouted.
The old man smiled slightly, smiled but did not speak, Liu Hu still wanted to take a step forward, but Xiang Qing hurriedly stopped him.
"I think you're presumptuous! Retire! ”
Liu Hu drooped his head and retreated to the crowd, Cao Chun also pulled Liu Hu's clothes, Cao Chun also saw that Xiang Qing also had great respect for this old man, but he didn't want to do it in his heart, this old man was indeed a little profligate, and if it was good, it was called free and uninhibited, and if it was not good, it was the appearance of a scoundrel.
Others don't know the identity of this old man, but Xiang Qing is like a thunderous ear to the name of this old man, when he saw that Wang Shu was dying, and he was helpless, he saw this old man.
Hua Tuo! Who are they? That's a miracle doctor who has left a name in history! is as famous as Bian Que, in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the records about Hua Tuo are dense, and in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you can also see the figure of this miracle doctor.
When he heard that this old man called himself Hua Tuo and could save Wang Shu's life, Xiang Qing's excited tears were about to flow out, especially after seeing the treatment method and determining Hua Tuo's identity, Xiang Qing was even more grateful, with the divine doctor Hua Tuo, Wang Shu's life could definitely be saved.
Xiang Qing apologized and said: "My entourage is short-tempered, don't be surprised, sir." ”
"Hahaha, the old man understands, this is also a friend who is worried about himself, and he is sincere and old and decrepit." Hua Tuo smacked his lips and felt thirsty, so he opened the wine gourd and poured it hard.
"Childe, the old man will prescribe a prescription and take the medicine according to the prescription, and within three or five days, his condition will definitely improve, and he will be raised for a winter, and his body will be able to recover as before."
Xiang Qing hurriedly stood up, knelt on one knee, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. for saving your life!" Please accept a certain bow! ”
Seeing that Xiang List knelt on the ground, the whole room was on his knees, Hua Tuo did not refuse, and asked for pen and ink to go to the side to open a prescription.
After a while, Hua Tuo took a piece of straw paper, dried the pen and ink on the straw paper as he walked, and when he came back, he saw that Xiang Qing was still in Guzihe, and hurriedly helped him up.
"The dignified general of the expedition to the west, but kneeling on my old decay on the verge of death, is really unruly, the general please get up."
Xiang Qing stood up and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be funny, I'm still a white body now, and General Zhengxi has nothing to do with me." ”
Hua Tuo stared at Xiang Qing for a moment, and said with a smile: "If there is no more general in the world who fights for the people like Gongzi, according to the old and foolish opinion, the Han world is in danger." ”
"Sir, I praised it." Xiang Qing said embarrassedly.
Hua Tuo handed the straw paper in his hand to Xiang Qing, the pen and ink on it had been blown dry, and Xiang Qing could clearly identify the handwriting on it, what the cause was, what medicine was used, the dosage of the medicine, how to use the medicine, etc., it was clearly written.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my friend's life!"
Hua Tuo waved his hand: "The old man is also entrusted by his friends, and the effort of raising his hands is definitely not enough to worry about his teeth, and as a doctor, he must not see death without help, this is the duty of the old man." ”
After speaking, Hua Tuo said goodbye to Xiang Qing, Xiang Qing wanted to keep him for a meal, but Hua Tuo refused, Xiang Qing took out all his belongings as medical expenses, Hua Tuo did not pretend to excuse himself, said that he was grateful to General Zhengxi for the wine money, and then rode on his donkey and left slowly.
Xiang Qing, who was standing at the door, looked at Hua Tuo's departing back, and suddenly thought of something, he took out the straw paper in his arms, and slowly opened it to see, why could he see the prescription at a glance? It's written in simplified Chinese!
He hurriedly rushed out, but after running half the street, he didn't see Hua Tuo's figure, he scratched his head, Hua Tuo was not fast on a donkey, but why couldn't he find him.
Back at the medical hall, Liu Hu asked anxiously, "Second master!" I think this old man is definitely a charlatan! How did you trust him so easily? ”
Xiang Qing said coldly: "I should believe who is my business, just do your own thing." ”
Liu Hu didn't dare to say more, in the past, Xiang Qing could chat with a group of them and chat about some meat jokes together, he had never seen Xiang Qing have a little bit of a family master's shelf, but now, he felt that Xiang Qing's majesty was increasing day by day, so that in his heart, he felt the fear of Xiang Qing.
But this kind of change is what Liu Hu wants, he hopes that Xiang Qing can become a real general, not his friend, in his heart, he still longs to be able to follow Xiang Qing, make meritorious contributions, worship the general, he definitely does not want to follow Xiang Qing for a lifetime.
Xiang Qing rewrote a prescription and handed it to Cao Chun, asking him to grab the medicine, Cao Chun took the order and left, Xiang Qing sat on the edge of Wang Shu's bed, and Liu Hu stood next to Xiang Qing with his chest straight.
Xiang Qing wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to explain to Liu Hu, he didn't want to be a master and a subordinate with Liu Hu, he wanted to be friends with everyone, in his heart, he had always advocated a world where everyone was equal, but he understood that advocating equality for everyone in this era was a joke, so he was also very entangled.
He wasn't ready to explain, because what he was going to do next, everything was earth-shattering, and he needed to turn himself into a general who fit the characteristics of this era, a person in power, he didn't have time to change slowly, he had to grow as soon as possible.
Cao Chun grabbed the medicine, and wanted to find the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop to borrow a medicine stove to decoct the medicine, the shopkeeper was also a clear-eyed person, seeing the precious sword in Cao Chun's hand, and the double halberd behind Liu Hu, even the medicine money was given to him by Cao Chun, and he took out the medicine stove at the bottom of his box as an heirloom to decoction for Cao Chun.
Liu Hu took the initiative to help Cao Chun decoction, where would the two big men do this, or the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was more skilled, the two of them stared at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper kept breaking out in a cold sweat, if something went wrong, he would definitely not end well.
The medicine was brought over, Xiang Qing fed Wang Shu medicine, such a medicinal soup, has been drinking four or five bowls, some to ward off the cold, some to replenish the blood, Wang Shu's illness is a bit serious, according to Hua Tuo said, if the medicine is not right, it will definitely leave the root of the disease that is difficult to cure, Hua Tuo wrote on the prescription is the sequelae.
Until late at night, Liu Hu and Cao Chun fell asleep with a small fan in their hands, Xiang Xu sat on the roof and looked at the stars, the white mask was shining by the moonlight, and the hairband on the back of his head fluttered with the evening breeze.
Xiang Qing held his head with his right hand, fell asleep in a daze, his head sank and sank, he suddenly felt abnormal, and woke up suddenly, only to find that Wang Shu had opened his eyes and stared at the beam of the room with his eyes blank.
"Oops, why don't you say anything when you wake up, it scares me." Xiang Qing said.
Wang Shu's face is much better, Hua Tuo is worthy of being a miracle doctor, just a few doses of medicine, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
"Second master, I still haven't been able to save him." Wang Shu's eyes were full of tears, and tears dripped down the corners of his eyes on the bed, and he suddenly cried and said, "Second master, it's all my fault!" It's useless to blame me! He could save me, but I couldn't! ”
"Second master, why don't you let me die, I should die for him, when Dong Zhuo's pursuers caught up, he said to lead away the pursuers for us, why didn't I stop him at the time, if he walked with us, maybe he could live together, if the person who led away the pursuers was me, he wouldn't die!" Blame me for being cowardly! It's useless to blame me! ”
Xiang Qing didn't comfort him, he had to carry it by himself after all, Xiang Qing could save his life, but he didn't know how to save his heart, because Xiang Qing's heart hurt as much as him.
"It's a man, just wipe away your tears, take care of your body, and work with me to avenge my dead brother and Xu Yuanzhi!"
