Chapter 9: Seeking Medical Advice
On the third day of the third lunar month, Shangsi Festival.
Today, it has been two days since Bei Que Yun and others successfully captured the traitors on the other side of Luzhou City.
Wei County, although this place is 25 miles away from Luzhou City, it only took less than half an hour to travel by Zhang Luoqi's footsteps. (The Mai man mentioned above, a member of Shen Youxuan's class)
Luzhou City is surrounded by water on all sides, is a natural channel to communicate between the East and the West, so the economy and trade are very developed, and Wei County is the best support for Luzhou City.
There is something that cannot be compared with the area around Luzhou City: medical skills.
This is also the reason why Zhang Luoqi did not carry Shen Youxuan to Zhan County, which is closer to Luzhou City.
The owner's wound has pus, and we are rough again! If the owner has a bad one, we can .......
This is damned!!
Zhang Luoqi ran all the way, but the scene in his eyes was completely different from what Lin Qingyang introduced.
The woman in twos and threes was holding the child, holding a bamboo pole, walking slowly, her eyes were very haggard.
A little further on, some horizontal corpses were lying on the street, emitting bursts of foul smell, Zhang Luoqi walked briskly with Shen Youxuan on his back, looking for the medical hall everywhere, and he didn't know how many rats were kicked off along the way.
"Auntie, where is the medical hall here?" Zhang Luoqi asked an old woman lying on her side on a mahogany pillar.
"Auntie? Ma'am? Zhang Luoqi asked eagerly, but no matter how he asked, the old woman did not respond.
When Zhang Luoqi was about to leave, the old woman said sluggishly with a hollow expression: "It's all dead...... All dead......."
Although Zhang Luoqi wanted to know what was going on here, Shen Youxuan's injury made him unable to distract, and finding a doctor was the most important thing right now.
"There should be a physician in the moat south of the city." The old woman wore her hair loose and pointed in one direction.
"They're all dead....... It's all dead......."
The old woman trembled incessantly, and her mouth kept muttering something.
Zhang Luoqi sighed deeply, left a word of thanks, and hurriedly ran in the direction pointed by the old woman.
"All ....... dead"
"All ........ dead"
.......................
Zhang Luoqi carried Shen Youxuan all the way south, and finally saw the medical hall that the old woman said in front of the moat.
The broken plaque still has the word "Tianhe" on it, the pulp windows have long been dilapidated, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, as if it has not been inhabited for a long time.
Zhang Luoqi knocked on the door cautiously and said respectfully: "A certain person came to seek a doctor, is Mr. here?" ”
"Is the gentleman here?"
"I don't know what happened in Wei County, and I just escaped from Luzhou City......."
"You're from Luzhou City?" A hoarse voice came from the quiet room.
"Yes, sir, ......."
Before Zhang Luoqi finished speaking, a figure leaned out of the corner of the window, and after confirming that there was no one around, he motioned for Zhang Luoqi to come in and speak.
"Sir, ......."
"I know, you're going to get the kid a doctor. Someone came to inform me when you entered the city. The doctor was dressed in a ragged shirt and a thick beard that covered half of his cheeks.
"Are there still living people in Luzhou City?"
The old doctor's words completely blinded Zhang Luoqi, "Sir, can you wait a while, it is important to heal the owner's injuries." ”
"The owner? What do you call this kid the owner? The old doctor's face was full of doubt.
"Yes, sir."
"You put him on the bed, and I'll take the pulse." Physician said.
The dim candlelight shone on Shen Youxuan's face, pale and weak.
"This child is so badly injured, why didn't he be treated earlier?"
Zhang Luoqi was also very helpless, it was originally a happy thing for the owner to go down the mountain, but he was intercepted by a group of soldiers halfway through, and he injured the owner and did not call a doctor.
Thanks to the owner's injury, they gave them ideas to save Luzhou City, but the owner's injuries became more and more serious, and the doctors in Luzhou City had nothing to do.
Hateful! It's fucking hateful!
"Can the owner still save this injury?" Zhang Luoqi was very anxious, and his eyes seemed to be able to swallow the doctor.
"There's still a glimmer of hope, but I can't guarantee a complete cure." The old doctor said.
"Sir!"
"What are you doing here, get up!" The old doctor reached out to help Zhang Luoqi, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Thank you, sir! If Mr. encounters any trouble in the future, I will not hesitate to go to the soup! ”
"It's useless to say something, hum, young people nowadays go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire at every turn. Don't hurry up yet! Hurry up and boil hot water! The doctor urged.
"Oh, yes!" Zhang Luoqi replied with tears in his eyes.
If Shen Youxuan was awake at the moment, he would probably be moved by the scene in front of him.
It is said that the ancients valued love, and they all said that there were many heroes since ancient times.
When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin and the prince Dan in Yishui, the sentence "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return." The emotions contained in it are nothing more than what the future generations yearn for.
…………
The hot water was boiling in the kettle, and the old doctor used a hot red needle to pick up the pus on Shen Youxuan's stomach, and he didn't know what technique he used to seal Shen Youxuan's air pockets, and a mouthful of dirty blood gushed out from Shen Youxuan's mouth.
"It hurts!" Shen Youxuan screamed and fell into fainting again.
"Bring me the gold sore medicine." The old physician continued to burn the silver needle on the flames. After the wound was treated, the old doctor applied a plaster to Shen Youxuan and clicked it on Shen Youxuan a few times.
"When he wakes up, untie his air pockets so that he can be healed." The old doctor said.
Without waiting for Zhang Luoqi to open his mouth to thank him, the old doctor said in an extremely heavy tone: "It's time to talk about the situation in Luzhou City." ”
"Sir, what?" Zhang Luoqi still didn't understand what the old gentleman was referring to.
"Did the thief kill him? How many people in the city survived? ”
"Thieves? The old gentleman is talking about the group of officials and bandits, right? ”
"Officials and bandits? I'm talking about the bandits! The old gentleman's eyes were full of anger, and he hammered the corner of the table and said.
"I don't know, I haven't met along the way." Zhang Luoqi said, "Could it be that Wei County has encountered bandits here?" ”
"Yes, there were only a dozen bandits, and we didn't know they were bandits at that time, and we only regarded them as ordinary merchants."
"However, it didn't take long for all the county officials and officials to be strewn on the streets." The old doctor's eyes turned red as he spoke, and tears dripped onto his pale beard, "More than 300 mountain bandits!! Burn, kill, loot overnight, do everything! My wife and children....... All! ”
Zhang Luoqi recalled everything when he entered the city, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if there was no plan of the owner at that time, their group of people still didn't know what the situation would be.
"According to Mr. Will, this group of mountain bandits is going to Luzhou City, right?" Zhang Luoqi looked at the old gentleman suspiciously.
"Yes! I heard Lao Xu in the north of the city say that after these mountain bandits ransacked our Wei County, they went all the way to the west. To the west, there are other places besides Luzhou City, and the Lotus Peak behind Luzhou City can't be turned over at all. ”
Zhang Luoqi suddenly felt a burst of amusement, and he couldn't hold back for a while, which made the old doctor puzzled, "What are you laughing at!" ”
"They are mud bodhisattvas throwing themselves into the river, bringing about their own destruction!" Zhang Luoqi sneered, which made the old doctor even more puzzled.
"What do you mean by that?"
