On the left of Xiangyang, twenty miles to the left is a big township.

This township is called Deng Township, the population of the whole township is not less than 5,000 people, it is a large township under the jurisdiction of Xiangyang.

Originally, Deng Township was inhabited by the Deng clan; Later, the world was turbulent, Jingxiang was relatively peaceful, and many refugees poured into Jingxiang, which was half of the foreign population at this time.

At noon on this day, in the noisy Deng Township, three little donkeys strolled.

On the back of the donkey, Meng Gongwei and the others originally laughed and smiled, but after entering Deng Township, they were very surprised.

At this time, it is the end of autumn, and it is also the time for the people to tidy up their fields and prepare for planting winter wheat. Most of the wheat in the Central Plains is planted before winter, and then it can be harvested in May of the following year, which is the so-called winter planting and summer harvest.

Meng Gongwei and the others came all the way from Xiangyang, and the people in the townships were busy preparing for winter planting. However, few of the people of Deng Township were busy in the fields, and they all gathered on the threshing floor in the township, not knowing what was going on.

"Senior Brother Meng, let's also go and take a look at this excitement?"

Looking at the threshing floor surrounded by the people, Shi Tao suggested.

The monks pass through the red dust, and most of them do whatever they want, and they generally don't interfere in everything in the red dust, but it doesn't hurt to look at it.

Meng Gongwei looked at the noisy crowd and said, "Then let's take a look, anyway, this place is not far from Kong Ming's house." ”

At the foot of Jing Mountain, after acting separately from his uncle Sima Hui, Meng Gongwei and the others did not rush to Longzhong.

They first rode a little donkey and wandered to Xiangyang City for a night's rest, satisfying their appetites by the way.

Cultivating in the mountain gate, life is not a hard time.

The problem is that it is impossible to keep that much alcohol in the mountain gate. Meng Gongwei, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, although the three of them are not addicted to alcohol, but they have not drunk for many days, and at this time, there are no elders by their side, so they naturally have to drink openly.

Early this morning, the three of them left Xiangyang City and came to Longzhong again.

Unexpectedly, it was only ten miles away from Longzhong, but something strange happened in this Deng Township, and Meng Gongwei and the others naturally had to stop and take a look.

After all, if you can solve some difficulties for the people, such as asking for rain, you can still reap some merit and luck.

As for luck, no monk would have too much.

……

On the threshing floor, more than 5,000 people gathered together, and the black pressure was crowded, and the people outside couldn't squeeze in at all. But the discussion in the mouths of the people made Meng Gongwei and the others puzzled.

"Planting this Zhuge pox can really prevent smallpox?" A young man couldn't believe it and asked an old man beside him.

The old man was originally on crutches, but then he pointed to the middle of the threshing floor with his crutches and asked, "Do you see those two healers?" ”

The young man nodded, although the threshing floor was crowded, but there was a large vacancy in the middle, and the two young doctors were planting pox for several men; Standing high above the periphery, you can see the middle of the threshing floor.

The old man touched his white beard and said, "Those two healers are the same clan as the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing. ”

It is said that the Zhongjing Divine Doctor was taught the method of Zhuge Pox by the masters, and then invited the doctors of the whole clan to implement it in the world. As long as this Zhuge pox is planted, our people will no longer have to suffer from smallpox. ”

"Other doctors can't believe it, can the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing not believe it?"

"Besides, didn't you listen to those two doctors in the morning, they are in Nieyang County, and they have already planted this Zhuge pox on tens of thousands of people. Now they have all been cured, and they have been verified with smallpox, and those who have been planted with Zhuge pox have not suffered from smallpox again! ”

It is not so much that the old man is a brain-dead fan of the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing, it is better to say that the last one is the most convincing.

Yesterday, these two doctors came to Deng Township and said that they would plant Zhuge pox for the people of the township, so that they would no longer suffer from smallpox.

At first, when the two doctors said this, they were naturally regarded as swaggering.

For thousands of years, who does not know that the smallpox epidemic has always been incurable, and it is naturally impossible to prevent it. Because of this, these two doctors were almost not tied up by the villagers and sent to the government.

Later, the two doctors reported their names, saying that they were doctors of the same clan as the divine doctor Zhang Zhongjing, and they also had Zhang Zhongjing's handwritten letter, and also said that they had planted Zhuge pox for thousands of people outside Nieyang City, and the villagers were skeptical.

Then, the chief of the township pavilion and the chief of the village sent people to Zhangjiazhuang outside Nieyang City to seek verification.

Early this morning, the messenger hurried back and happily told everyone that almost all the people in Nieyang County are now planting Zhuge pox under the leadership of Zhang's doctors. Moreover, there are tens of thousands of people in Zhangjiazhuang, all of whom have successfully planted pox, and there has not been a single case of death, and they will no longer suffer from smallpox.

Somehow, more than 3,000 people in Zhangjiazhuang finally became tens of thousands of people when they reached the messenger.

However, with the signboard of the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing, and the people of the entire county of Nieyang County as evidence, the villagers of Deng Township finally believed the words of the two doctors. Although there are still doubts, starting today, Deng Township has also begun to plant the so-called Zhuge pox among the whole people.

……

Meng Gongwei, Shi Guangyuan, and Cui Zhouping listened carefully to the conversation between the old man and the young man, but they were a little foggy.

What Zhuge pox?

Isn't this township ready to plant Dadu this year?

If you are planting soybeans, it shouldn't be this season!

Also, what does this soybean planting have to do with smallpox?

Isn't it true that the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing discovered that the common people can eliminate the possibility of smallpox by eating soybeans as their staple food?

How does this feel?

Besides, since they are growing soybeans, why did the two healers in the middle of the threshing floor come?

Even standing on the periphery of the threshing floor, Meng Gongwei and they could still see it very clearly.

The two healers made a cut on the arm of each of the villagers, then cleaned the wound with some kind of potion, and then picked out something from a porcelain vase, and put it on the wound on the villager's arm, and finally bandaged the wound with cloth.

The whole process is very simple in one go.

In just a few moments, the two healers had done this for dozens of villagers.

"Dare to ask my brother, what are the Zhuge pox you are talking about? Why can smallpox be prevented? ”

If you don't know, you have to ask shamelessly, Meng Gongwei leaned over to the old man and asked.

With Meng Gongwei's actual age, I am afraid that this old man is more than ten or twenty years younger than them. It's just that because of some small achievements in cultivation, Meng Gongwei and the others look like they are only forty or fifty years old.

Hearing the question, the old man and the young man turned their heads and looked at Meng Gongwei and them.

The three of them are all dressed in long robes, which are different from the clothes worn by the croppers, nor are they the brocade clothes of large families, which are different and unworldly. The three of them have a few moments of wind and dust on their bodies, and they each have a little donkey by their side, and the old man who is a little older and a little knowledgeable has a guess in his heart that this must be a master of the world, even if he is not a fairy among the gods, he must be a hermit like a crane in the clouds.

"The three gentlemen are polite!" The old man also bowed his hand in return.

For people outside the world, whether they are monks or secluded scholars, the common people generally call them sir. Only among the people outside the world, those who look seventy or eighty years old will be honored by the people as "old immortals".

And Meng Gongwei and them look like they are only four or fifty-two now.

After the old man saw the salute, he replied: "This Zhuge pox old man doesn't know the details, in short, it is definitely not the beans we grow crops." However, according to the two doctors, as long as we plant that Zhuge pox on our arms, we will never suffer from smallpox again for the rest of our lives. ”

As soon as the old man said this, Meng Gongwei and the others were curious.

Ten-year-old children know that smallpox, a plague, is cured and prevented.

So, after the old man said that, Meng Gongwei and the others waited by the threshing floor, ready to wait for the two doctors to be free, and then talk to them in detail to find out why Zhuge pox can prevent smallpox.

……

After noon, most of the villagers had been stabbed, and the two healers were idle.

At this time, the chief took people and brought food to the two healers.

Of course, those who were sent to eat together naturally also had Meng Gongwei's share.

After lunch, Meng Gongwei said to the two doctors: "The two little brothers are invited!" ”

The two of them hurriedly got up, bowed to the three of them, and said, "Nieyang Zhang Lin and Zhang Yuan, I have seen three gentlemen. ”

As doctors, the vision of the two of them is naturally different from that of ordinary people, Meng Gongwei's words and deeds of the three of them, as well as the appearance of being out of the world, are about the legendary immortals who retreat from the world and cultivate.

Therefore, the two did not dare to slack off.

Meng Gongwei was not verbose, and asked directly: "Dare to ask the two little brothers, what is this Zhuge pox?" ”

"Why can planting Zhuge pox on the people prevent smallpox?"

Although the two doctors were very young, the one named Zhang Lin was a generation older.

I only heard Zhang Lin smile proudly: "What the three gentlemen asked, it can be regarded as the right person." ”

"This Zhuge pox is actually cowpox, more precisely, the pus from a cow suffering from smallpox. Only because this method was taught by Nanyang Zhuge Kongming, it is called Zhuge pox. ”

"It is well known that only patients with smallpox who have recovered will be immune to the disease for life."

"This kind of Zhuge pox and smallpox prevention and treatment are taking advantage of this characteristic."

"The toxicity of Zhuge pox is much weaker than the toxicity of smallpox in our humans. After planting Zhuge pox, although various symptoms of smallpox will appear, the patient is not in danger of life, and can be cured in ten days at most. ”

"In Nieyang County, more than 3,000 people in Zhangjiazhuang have been vaccinated with Zhuge pox, and they have all been cured, and they are no longer afraid of smallpox."

"Now, with the strength of the whole clan, I, the Nieyang Zhang clan, have dispatched one hundred and thirty-seven doctors to implement this method in the world. At this moment, in the entire 56 counties of Nanyang County, there are basically doctors from my Zhang family, who are implementing this pox method. ”

When Meng Gongwei and the others heard this, they were shocked.

It was actually taught by Senior Brother Kong Ming? However, can cattle also suffer from smallpox?

Besides, if smallpox from cattle is planted on people, doesn't it mean that the whole people will be infected with the disease?

The three of them were only a little surprised and curious, but they didn't think about Zhuge Kongming playing the piano indiscriminately. After all, compared with Zhuge Liang for so many years, his intelligence and his ability to innovate, Meng Gongwei and them are obvious to all.

In their minds, since Senior Brother Kong Ming has benefited the world with this method, they are afraid that this Zhuge pox is really to prevent smallpox!

If this Zhuge pox can really be popularized throughout the world, it will be immeasurably meritorious, and the luck harvested by Senior Brother Kong Ming will also be immeasurable, and even, compared to the Fulong Court, it is not necessarily much less.

With so much luck and luck, Senior Brother Kong Ming is basically invincible on the path of cultivation.

"It's just, it's a pity after all!" In the hearts of the three of them, there was such a sigh.

As for what is a pity, only the monk can understand.
