Chapter 30: Meet the Descendants of Hua Tuo
Chapter 30: Meet the descendants of Hua Tuo
Li Jiancheng's visit to Sun Simiao was an important part of his plans. If possible, he planned to use some of the Western medicine knowledge he knew to gather Sun Daochang by his side.
Because Sun Simiao described the production method of the volcanic sulfur method in the "Danjing Inner Sulfur Method".
The so-called volcanic sulfur method is to mix sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal into powder, which is used to make fire alchemy, which is the earliest formula for gunpowder in existing Chinese literature.
In this way, Li Jiancheng's research on gunpowder can be rationalized; In addition, a series of things such as penicillin and alcohol must be developed and promoted by Sun Simiao.
As soon as Liu Honglang heard that Li Jiancheng's bet was on this condition, he immediately nodded and said that there was no problem, and turned around to help introduce him; But then he said: "But whether the ancestor will guide you or not depends on your own talent." ”
As he spoke, a trace of gloom flashed on Liu Honglang's face, when he was seven or eight years old, he was brought to Sun Simiao by Liu Shenwei and said that he would stay in place of Liu Shenwei to be filial piety in front of Sun Simiao and be a medicine boy or something.
Liu Honglang remembers very clearly that he was recruited by Sun Simiao at that time, and after asking a few words, he got a sentence: "You will become a good doctor in the future, but there is no shortage of good doctors around me." ”
After Liu Honglang came back, he kept this sentence in mind and worked hard to learn medical skills to become a good doctor; He always thought that the second half of Sun Simiao's sentence was to let him go to a place where a good doctor was needed to give full play to his strengths.
It wasn't until after returning home yesterday that Liu Shenwei told him that Sun Simiao refused because he felt that Liu Honglang was not talented enough and lacked aura, so he had no way to start when he was doing research.
When I first heard this analysis, the arrogant Liu Honglang was shocked; But now that he is an adult, he has also learned a little in medical skills, so he will not give up his search for medicine because he knows the inside story.
It's just that when I think of this incident, my heart is inevitably gloomy.
Li Jiancheng saw Liu Honglang's flashing expression, and guessed that the other party should want to ask Sun Simiao for guidance but was unsuccessful.
Therefore, Li Jiancheng only said: "Then it's decided, let's make an appointment at the specific time." Then he changed the topic and said, "I don't know if Dr. Liu is at home, but I have found my grandfather's codex." ”
"Father, when I was about to go out, I encountered an emergency and was invited." Liu Honglang explained, afraid that the Li family would think that his father was obviously at home, so why didn't he come: "I don't know if I'm at home now." ”
Li Jiancheng naturally didn't mind if Liu Shenwei came for a follow-up visit, and said that Li Xuanba's illness had already healed, so as not to let Liu Honglang be too careful, he replied first: "Saving people is like fighting fires, but I just thought that I would show the codex to Dr. Liu, but now I can only change the day." However, I want to go back with you later, I don't know if it's convenient? ”
When Liu Honglang heard that Li Jiancheng wanted his father to read the codex, he somewhat guessed Li Jiancheng's intentions, and immediately nodded: "No problem, didn't my father say a long time ago, if you want to read a book, just look for me." ”
Li Jiancheng asked Liu Honglang to wait for a while, he was going to say hello to Dou Hui.
After Dou Hui came to see Li Xuanba in the morning, he went to deal with other things, and after Li Jiancheng found her and said to her, Dou Hui hesitated, but still nodded, and just told him to come back early, not to forget the time because he was interested in reading a book.
Li Jiancheng naturally nodded, he knew that Sun Simiao had written the medical works "Qianjin Yao Fang" and "Qianjin Yifang" with his life's energy, and they had not yet been written.
I think that the books of Liu Shenwei's house should be "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Shennong's Materia Medica" and other books.
With Li Jiancheng's ability to read ten lines at a glance and never forget, it doesn't take too long to memorize these things in his head.
But after all, remembering and understanding are two different things, and Li Jiancheng will inevitably ask Liu Shenwei and his son for advice and discussion when he turns back.
So after going out and getting into the carriage of the Tang State Mansion, Li Jiancheng was close to Liu Honglang without showing his face.
After the carriage stopped at the Liu family's Materia Medica, when the two got off, they were already commensurate with the virtuous brother and the virtuous brother.
Liu Honglang invited Li Jiancheng to the inner room of the Materia Medica, and then summoned the young man and asked, "Is my father back?" ”
The young man shook his head and said, "No, but the family's prescription has come, and I think Alang will come back soon." ”
At this time, there was no "master", and the slave called the male master "Ah Lang"; And call the young master "Lang Jun".
Liu Honglang nodded, and said to the young man: "This is the eldest Langjun of the Tang State Mansion, and it is inevitable that he will come over often in the future, just let him enter the inner room directly when the time comes." ”
turned his head and looked at Li Jiancheng again, and said: "His name is Zhiyuan, under normal circumstances, there will always be one person left in the shop, so you can come at any time; Even if you encounter a special situation, Zhiyuan will be in the shop, and you will just wait in the inner room when the time comes. Here are the books that you can read casually. ”
When Zhiyuan heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don't know if Ah Lang knows?" ”
Liu Honglang frowned and said, "Do you think I look like a loser?" Besides, he is the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, and he will come to steal our jobs. ”
Li Jiancheng took Liu Honglang with a smile and said, and said to Zhiyuan: "Doctor Liu has already given permission, you don't have to worry." ”
Zhiyuan raised his hand and scratched his head, and said in a sneering voice: "That...... I'm just thinking about it all day, and I don't mean anything else. ”
Li Jiancheng laughed, so much so that he felt that Zhiyuan had a little bit of Li Xi's miser flavor.
Liu Honglang was a little embarrassed, but he didn't accuse, just waved his hand and said to Zhiyuan: "You go and get busy, I'll talk to Brother Li Xian, if you see your father coming back, tell him that Da Langjun of the Tang State Mansion is here." ”
After Zhiyuan turned around and went out, Liu Honglang explained to Li Jiancheng: "Zhiyuan is an orphan taken in by my father, and he has some talent in medical skills, so I can't hide it, he can be regarded as my junior brother." ”
"It's ......" Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows, this word was used very meaningfully.
Liu Honglang smiled bitterly and said: "He said that he had a teacher, and said that he inherited the Wu Pu lineage passed down by Hua Tuo." As he spoke, he took out a book from the drawer: "I also said that this "Wu Pu Materia Medica" is proof. ”
Li Jiancheng took the book.
Liu Honglang continued: "Although this book is not as easy as "Thousand Words", everyone who can read can have a copy, but it is not difficult for those of us who are doctors to get one. This stupid boy said that he didn't want to be my father's apprentice because of someone else's steamed cake and such a book. (To be continued)
