220, go up the mountain
The autumn midday sun is still a little sunny. The old army guarding the gate of Suzhou Shuicheng www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion hid in the shadow and refused to come out. They had just had lunch, and they were sleepy in the autumn, and they just wanted to find a comfortable place to take a nap. In the distance, someone saw a wooden boat and slowly rocked over.
On the bow of the ship was also the banner of the Jinyi Guard, embroidered with a flying fish pattern, indicating their glory as a pro-army of Shangzhi.
The old soldiers watched this "official ship" sail coldly, let alone get up, and didn't even bother to open it. It wasn't until the boat passed the water gate that someone said lazily: "I heard that all the people on board here are tuberculosis ghosts?" ”
In the last stage of life, patients with tuberculosis will be so thin that their bodies will be out of shape, like skeletons, so some rough people will call them "ghosts". However, the word "ghost" also vaguely reveals people's fear of this disease - inexplicably suffering from such a terminal illness is not the same as hitting a ghost.
When there was a topic, someone said: "I heard that Dr. Xu from Changchun Hall is going to take them to the mountains for healing." ”
"Are you afraid of staying in the city and passing it on to others? I've heard people say that this tuberculosis is a kind of worm, and if you touch a tuberculosis ghost, maybe you will let this worm burrow into your body. ”
"I've seen that Dr. Xu, he is young, but he is bold. Whether it can be cured or not, I will obey the doctor in this broken place! ”
Others scoffed: "Are you bold? Didn't you see the captains and servants on the ship, all wrapped in filial piety clothes, tightly wrapped from head to toe? ”
Someone choked him: "When you work in the field, you still know how to change into old clothes, and stay with tuberculosis all day long, can you be careless?" Not to mention anything else, I'll prepare that white robe for you, do you dare to go on the boat to check it out? ”
The voice of the person who said the cool words just now was much lower, and he laughed at himself: "Alas, what's the use of saying that, Jinyiwei's official ship, can we get on?" ”
Several others laughed one after another, laughing at him for not having the guts, I'm afraid the eggs are long gone, no wonder the girl's son looks like the old Song next door.
……
Xu Xiaole stood at the bow of the boat, waited for the water gate before turning around, and shouted, "It's done, let's come out!" ”
Among the four people lying on the board, two of them immediately turned over and got up, and they were Zhang Daer's two men. The other two are still lying still unmoving—they are the two wounded, and now the high fever has subsided, but the low fever has not subsided, and I don't know if they will survive this hurdle.
Wrapped in a white robe like a big ear, with a mask on his mouth, half of his face was covered. Seeing that he had left the city so easily, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaole, this time it's really thanks to you. ”
Xu Xiaole shook his head: "Since I promised you to save people, I must do my best." I have already asked someone to arrange the carriage and horses at Xukou, but you have to drive the carriage yourself—knowing that it is a tuberculosis patient, no one dares to take this job. ”
Zhang Da'er's eyes narrowed, and he smiled happily.
Xu Xiaole first asked Amulin to transport the two people from Zhang Da'er's side out of consideration. At first, people are always afraid, but after seeing them many times, they will develop curiosity. Maybe two more ships will be transported, and the old soldiers will find an excuse to see what these tuberculosis patients really look like.
Moreover, now these two people have a deficiency of righteous qi in their bodies, and if they are really transported with tuberculosis patients, it is easy to contract tuberculosis before they are healed. At that time, it was really wasted. While the ship is still clean, transport them away first, and the rest of the matter can be relieved.
Han Tongzhi went up to Qionglong Mountain early in the morning, and took two little Taoist priests to clean the house in the dense forest of the back mountain.
There wasn't really much in the rooms, and some of the rooms didn't even have beds - the Taoist priests who came to retreat would bring their own futons.
These two little Taoist priests were selected by the temple to take care of the sick, and as a benefit, they would also become Xu Xiaole's attendants when he was in Shangzhenguan. The title of waiter sounds like a servant, but it has a very high status in the sect, and often only close to the disciples can have the opportunity to serve as a waiter.
To serve Xu Xiaole as a waiter, it is natural that they learn Xu Xiaole's medical skills at the closest distance. If Xu Xiaole is a Taoist priest, this is basically equivalent to assigning him to his apprentice.
The two little Taoist priests were very clever, and following Han Tongzhi's command, they brought water, took a bristle brush, and knelt on the ground to clean every floor tile. Don't stop until the water that comes out is clean. As for the dust and cobwebs on the walls, they were also cleaned, leaving no dead ends.
When Xu Xiaole and the others went up the mountain, the two closed rooms had already set up wooden beds and spread two layers of mattresses, which were so soft that they could almost make people fall into them.
Seeing that the main lord was coming, the two little Taoist priests obediently stood beside the road to salute.
Naturally, Zhang Da'er and a few people did the work of placing the patient, so Xu Xiaole pulled Han Tongzhi and the little Taoist priest elsewhere, and first explained the reason that they couldn't go in casually. Because the tuberculosis is good to say, if it is a different kind of evil spirit, then it is impossible to prevent it, and you have to wait for the mask and overcoat to arrive before entering.
Han Tongzhi only thought that Zhang Daer and the others were people from Changchun Hall who came to help, so he didn't ask.
Naturally, the two little Taoist priests would not talk too much - they had come to learn medical skills, and they were far from qualified to participate in the treatment of tuberculosis. For these two primary school students, Xu Xiaole of course also prepared lesson plans.
He silently wrote a "Ancient Theory of Innocence" and handed it to them.
This text is the first part of the Su Wen, which uses the question and answer between the Yellow Emperor and the Heavenly Master Qibo to clarify the original task of Taoism and medicine: to restore the innocent people of antiquity.
For Taoists, the ancient naïve people are those who are in line with the Tao, that is, the source of "becoming immortals".
For doctors, the ancient naïve people can be more than 100 years old without decay, which is the highest level of treatment of "old" diseases.
Whether it is cultivating the Tao or studying medicine, there must always be a goal, and this "Ancient Treatise on Innocence" sets goals for practitioners. Of course, the law of growth of men and women is also elaborated in the article, mainly to tell about the role of kidney qi and essence qi, and it is only a supporting role in the whole article.
Xu Xiaole had already written this classic silently and handed it over to the two little Taoist priests, at least this month's teaching work could be launched.
The little Taoist priest is easy to dismiss, but Han Tongzhi is an expert. Not to mention touching the pulse himself, as long as he saw the prescription, he knew whether the two of them were tuberculosis or not.
It stands to reason that Xu Xiaole should have made a clear decision with Han Tongzhi earlier, but before Xu Xiaole could speak, Han Tongzhi preemptively said: "Xiaole, I have to hand it over to you first." I have already told the gold lord over there that I will burn the furnace and set up the altar tonight to prepare for alchemy. He looked up at the sky: "If you don't leave now, you will be delayed." ”
Xu Xiaole was really sleepy and touched the pillow, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll be alone these days." When you finish practicing Dan, there are more patients here, so you can come over to help. ”
Han Tongzhi took care of two more sentences, and went down the mountain without looking back.
Xu Xiaole watched him disappear at the end of the mountain path, and finally breathed a sigh of relief—there was no need to involve this compassionate and kind-hearted good Taoist.
