Chapter 307: The Mystery of Zhang Bao's Early Death
Jiang Wei was full of hope all the way, hoping that he could help Zhang Bao with the help of the experience of being a human being in two lives, but if Zhang Bao was really suffering from an intestinal carbuncle, it would be Hua Tuo's reincarnation, and it would only be in vain.
"Zhang Bao died early in history, and it turned out that he died of an intestinal carbuncle ......"
He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he expected that Xingcai, as a close relative, must be even more miserable, and was about to comfort a few words, when he suddenly thought about it, no, if he suffered from a vicious disease such as an intestinal carbuncle, he would die in a few days, how could he survive from the beginning of autumn to the present?
"Isn't it because you eat unclean food or raw water that you have parasites in your body?"
Thinking of this, he only felt the light of the spiritual platform surging, and hurriedly asked, "Can I look at the vomiting thing?" ”
Zhang Xingcai nodded and said, "I vomited for a while before going to bed, and I haven't had time to throw it away." ”
Immediately got up and took a wooden basin from the corner outside the door, and when he came to him, Jiang Wei took a chopstick and observed it carefully while stirring it.
Zhang Xingcai took the oil lamp and bent over the side, trying to illuminate it.
The basin was full of vomit and filth, and the smell was hard to hide, but the two of them were engrossed and didn't care.
After a while, Jiang Wei really noticed that there was something tiny in the vomit that was squirming. He let out a long breath, then got up and said:
"As far as I can tell, my brother's illness is not an intestinal carbuncle, but something else...... After a while, when my brother wakes up, I will ask and I will find out! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xingcai only felt a glimmer of hope and replied:
"Brother, he has to wake up and vomit several times every night, please wait for the second brother......"
As she spoke, she beckoned Zhang Shao and said, "Second brother and Shao Xian came late at night, they must be hungry, Ah Shao, you ordered the kitchen to send some food." ”
Zhang Shao saluted respectfully and retired as he said.
Jiang Wei saw that Zhang Xingcai was sad and depressed, and he had the heart to divert the topic, so he said: "I haven't seen you for half a year, Xingcai, your words and deeds are becoming more and more like a hostess." ”
Zhang Xingcai sighed and said quietly:
During this period of time, my father was at a loss, and when he woke up, he drank heavily, and when he was drunk, he whipped his subordinates, and no one could persuade him...... The mother also washed her face with tears, and was about to be bedridden; Ashao is still young and can't afford to be a big deal...... If I am not strong at this time, what should I do with this big family inside and outside? ”
Under the dim light, I saw Zhang Xingcaibao's bun loose, no lead on his face, his eyes were slightly sunken, and his eyes were red, but he looked haggard.
Jiang Wei noticed the sadness in her face's tone, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"But it's hard work for you."
Zhang Xingcai shook his head and said: "Second brother, you don't see me and my brother often quarrelling, but I grew up with him since I was a child, and I have a very strong relationship...... Now that he is sick, how can I not be sick in my liver and spleen? If Heaven allows, I'd rather give up my life ......"
Jiang Wei was relieved for a few more words, and suddenly heard a few weak coughs from the bed, but it was Zhang Bao who woke up.
Zhang Xingcai hurriedly pulled Jiang Wei to the front of the couch and said in a cut voice: "Brother...... Who's coming? ”
Zhang Bao opened his confused eyes, and suddenly saw Jiang Wei's figure, suddenly flashing a glimmer of brilliance, and was about to struggle to get up and speak.
Jiang Wei hurriedly stopped: "Brother, little brother is here!" You are not cured of a serious illness, don't be too excited, the future will be long...... Today, my little brother has a few words to ask you, and my brother has thought about it and answered me. ”
Zhang Bao regained her relaxed state and nodded effortlessly.
Jiang Weifa asked, "In the past few months, has my brother eaten any raw food or drunk raw and cold water?" ”
Zhang Bao pondered for a long time and shook his head.
Zhang Xingcai frowned on the side and said: "Brother's diet, either in the mansion or in the barracks, is provided by a special person, and there will be no raw food and water......"
After a pause, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Unless...... Unless at the end of last year or the beginning of this year, when he went to Jingzhou with his lord, he ......"
Jiang Wei shook his head and said: "No, at that time, I suggested to the lord that all armies and departments should boil hot water for drinking, and grain and straw should also be provided uniformly......
At this time, Zhang Bao's throat trembled slightly, and he said weakly:
"I... I remembered...... At that time, the lord allowed me to attack Yiling as a pioneer, and in order to save time, I drank the water of rivers and lakes for several days, and did not follow the rules of drinking boiled water. ”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Wei suddenly got up - he finally found the real cause of Zhang Bao's early death in history!
When the water flow in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River slowed down, a large number of parasites including schistosomiasis were living in the water, and the water quality was not pure, which was why Jiang Wei asked the whole army to drink cooked water.
But Zhang Bao didn't care and drank the raw water.
The local people were born and grew up in Si, and they were born with a certain immunity, and he has lived in Shu for many years, how can he compare? In a hurry, he marched to Jingzhou, and his body was inevitably tired, and if he was not careful, he was infected with the disease.
Sure enough, for more than half a year, the insects that survived in his body continued to multiply, and finally caused various symptoms such as abdominal pain, chest tightness, vomiting, and rapid weight loss.
Jiang Wei shook his hands and asserted:
"Brother, you are a disease caused by worms in your stomach and intestines, and you are not an intestinal carbuncle as judged by the doctors."
Zhang Xingcai looked excited, grabbed Jiang Wei's sleeve, and asked, "Can my brother be saved?" ”
Zhang Bao's eyes also showed hope.
Jiang Wei groaned: "As long as you drive the worms out of your body, you can be rescued, but this matter is easier said than done, but it is very difficult to do...... I only know that Chen Deng in Xuzhou was also a worm in his stomach back then, and he couldn't bear the pain, but fortunately, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo prescribed a prescription, which made him vomit worms three liters, and the symptoms were alleviated......"
Zhang Bao's eyes flickered, and he sighed: "It's a pity that the divine doctor has passed away, it seems that my life has stopped here......"
"Not necessarily!" Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "Although Hua Tuo is gone, there are still disciples alive, wasn't the arrow wound on Guan Junhou's arm that was treated by Fan A?" As long as you can find Doctor Fan A, my brother's illness should be cured! ”
After a pause, he got up again and said: "Shi Bin, a military doctor under the command of the prince in the past, is now working in the imperial court medical hall, and the younger brother will go to find him!" ”
"Brother, take a break, and the younger brother can take care of the small things."
Huo Yi, who had been waiting from the side, got up and saluted everyone, and then turned around and left.
At this time, Zhang Shao led his subordinates to bring food in, Zhang Xingcai's expression eased slightly, and he greeted while Zhang Luo:
"The second brother is running all the way, please have some food."
Zhang Bao also noticed Jiang Wei's dusty appearance, and also said: "My body is not tight, you can eat some first." ”
When Jiang Wei didn't run out of rice and water all the way, he was really hungry, so he thanked him and sat down to enjoy it.
Big families pay attention to food and sleep, but there are not so many rules between brothers. While eating, he introduced all kinds of interesting things about the westward journey to everyone, and Zhang Xingcai stood beside him, constantly putting vegetables in his bowl.
I don't know if it was because he was funny, or because of his brother's late-night visit, although Zhang Bao just listened silently, there was a little more smile on his dark and thin face, and his spirit was much better.
As the parties are like this, Zhang Xingcai and Zhang Shao, who are sisters and younger brothers, are naturally more excited, and the atmosphere in the house gradually becomes harmonious.
I don't know how long it took, Huo Yi led Shi Bin back.
Jiang Wei got up to greet him, hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Shi, I invited you late at night, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
Shi Bin replied: "General Zhang's matter has been explained by the Huoshe people on the road. is the so-called doctor's parents' heart, why does the general need to see the outside? What's more, General Zhang is still the son and nephew of the marquis......"
