Northern Song Dynasty, the autumn moon of the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Dongda County, in the evening.

Du Wenhao, dressed in a moon-white coarse cloth robe, sat alone on a stone on the side of the street in the city.

It has been a whole day since he crossed to the Northern Song Dynasty, tired and thirsty, hungry, when he just crossed over, he inquired and learned that he had inexplicably crossed to the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, he was so excited that he yelled, waiting for his big eyes to wander around, just like a fisherman in a paradise, he had to look at everything in a novel way for a while, causing others to think that he was a madman, and seeing him in strange clothes, he was even more afraid, and he hid far away, only a few bold children followed him, chattering and watching the excitement.

However, his excitement did not last long before he was gone. After a long day of wandering, he was exhausted. Now, he just wants to eat a big bowl of shredded pork noodles and drink a big glass of warm water.

But he had nothing.

When he crossed over, he only had a new suit and a pair of leather shoes on his feet. He usually doesn't use a watch, he uses his mobile phone to check the time, and the mobile phone is in his bag, and when he escapes, his bag fell on the sidewalk, so he came to the Northern Song Dynasty empty-handed.

He found that the eyes of others looking him up and down were very strange, pointing and muttering, he realized that he was indeed very strange compared with the people around him, ancient men had long hair, their hair was too short, and there was a potential danger in the suits on their bodies, and if they didn't get it right, they would bring trouble to themselves, and they were caught into the yamen by people as monsters or spies from exotic countries, so he quickly slipped into a ready-to-wear store, and wanted to exchange this suit for a set of moon-white coarse cloth robes of the people of the Song Dynasty. Of course, the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear store did not appreciate the style of his suit, and the fabric of his suit was very novel, so he reluctantly agreed to exchange it for a set of cheapest coarse cloth kaftans, but did not agree to make up the money for him, otherwise he would not change it.

Du Wenhao didn't care too much about this money, he wanted to use his modern wisdom to definitely be able to eat and drink spicy food in ancient times.

The clothes I got included a hat, which was buttoned on my head to cover my hair, so that if I didn't look closely, I couldn't tell that my hair was short.

Having had enough of visiting the city, he began to excitedly look for a job, ready to earn his first pot of gold.

However, for a whole day, I couldn't find a suitable job.

Because he realized then that he could not make guns, glass, perfume, hybrid rice, generators, cars, watches, or even the simplest bicycles. He will not be able to make a lot of money in modern society if he gets anything that has been used in ancient times.

His profession is forensic medicine, and it may be possible to solve cases, so he wants to find an opportunity to show his ability to solve cases, so as to gain the appreciation of the officials, and from then on he will be brilliant. But after wandering around for a long time, I found that the folk customs of the Northern Song Dynasty were simple, although it was not enough to close the door and leave the road unforgotten at night, but it was difficult to see fast arresters and brave patrols on the street, and the law and order was good.

He thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and decided to go to the yamen to recommend himself.

But when he came to the county office, he saw the fierce catcher with a waist knife at the gate, and he finally thought in his poor historical knowledge that it seemed that the ancient household registration system was very strict, and even the lowly work of the yamen had to be found out for three generations before he could be naturalized. And he has no household registration and belongs to the blind stream, so it is strange to come up and ask people if they are willing to let him help solve the case, but I am afraid that he will be suspected, and if he can't make it, he will become the target of their case.

He had no choice but to wander back and forth on the streets looking for business opportunities, but the Northern Song Dynasty was only a small peasant economy and society, and there were not even a few decent big shops, let alone so many state organs or large companies and enterprises in modern society. Although there are also shops that post notices to recruit guys, but he, a dignified college student in modern society, if he travels back to ancient times, he actually mixes into the shop as a young man, wouldn't it be insulting.

When passing by a few pharmacies, he wanted to be a doctor in the past, in ancient times, being a doctor did not need to be approved by medical institutions, and there was no requirement for medical qualifications, but in ancient times, it was more difficult than modern society to be quite a doctor who could eat well, because although you do not need to practice medicine, you need the recognition of the people, and only when others recognize your medical skills, they will come to you to see a doctor. If no patient comes to see you, even if you think you are a miracle doctor, it is useless, and the pharmacy will not ask you to be a sitting doctor.

Although Du Wenhao has done his best to pass on the true legacy of his uncle of traditional Chinese medicine, and has studied basic medicine and clinical medicine in the medical university system, he also made a cameo appearance as a doctor in his uncle's pharmacy during the winter and summer vacations, but the prescription must be checked by his uncle.

I continued to wander until sunset, when the shops had begun to close, and I still hadn't found a suitable job, and I didn't even have a place to stay. At last he walked so cramped that he had not eaten all day, and his stomach was so hungry that he was so dizzy that he could not walk anymore, so he sat on the stones by the side of the road, and watched the people of the street come and go in a daze.

In the ancient society almost a thousand years ago, it was impossible to find the kind of decent white-collar jobs in modern society, unless you become an official, and you must go through the imperial examination, and you don't know what the Four Books and Five Classics are, so you don't have to think about it. It seems that if you want to survive in the ancient society, you can only start honestly from the shopkeepers, and eat first.

Where to be a buddy? After thinking about it, I still want to find someone who has as much contact with my profession as possible. He recalled the shops he saw during the day with recruitment notices, as if one of them was a Chinese medicine shop, and he was disdainful of being a man at the time, so he didn't care, and now he decided to go to the pharmacy as a man, but he forgot where the Chinese medicine shop was, so he had to look for it slowly from memory.

The county was relatively large, and he walked around, and when it was almost dark, he finally found the pharmacy with the notice.

This pharmacy is not big, three rooms and four doors are opened, the black background gold plaque above the door of the store is hung high, it is almost dark and can not see really, come forward and look up carefully, only to find that it is written in the four big characters of the official book "Wuweitang".

Look at the pillars on both sides of the store, there are two vertical plaques, the right hand is "Pill Powder Paste Dan", the left hand is "decoction pieces", there is a medicine shop on the door beam, and there is a red lantern hanging there, it is getting dark but it has not been lit.

The front store hall is quite large, with a wooden floor, and just above the store, there is a horizontal plaque, which is also gilded Lishu, which is already very old, and reads "Jishi Health". The hall was facing a long row of tall medicine cabinets, and behind the medicine cabinets were two men, listlessly leaning on the medicine cabinets and napping. Behind a long table on the side of the store, there sat an old man with a white beard, who was holding a book in the dim room and staring intently, looking like the doctor sitting in the pharmacy.

Du Wenhao looked at the door for a while, until it was completely dark, the house began to hold the lamp, the dim orange light sprinkled all over the room, the doctor who sat in the hall got up to pack up his things and was about to leave, he only mustered up the courage, but just as he was about to take off his robe to go in to apply for a job, he suddenly heard a noise on the other side of the street, and then many people rushed over, first a strong man, rushed straight to the door of the "Wuweitang", raised his hand and pointed to the gray-haired doctor who was cleaning up the pen and ink behind the table, and scolded violently: "Damn, the quack doctor surnamed Chai, Lose my brother's life! ”

The strong man rushed forward with an arrow, grabbed the old man's collar across the table, and was about to hit with his fist.

Hearing the noise in the front hall, a young woman came out of the back hall, wearing a long skirt with an outstanding demeanor and a graceful figure, but her eyes were as sharp as cold electricity, it was Lin Qingdai, the female shopkeeper of the "Five Flavors". She went out to the front hall, and when she saw this scene, she shouted, "Stop! He rushed up and grabbed the strong man's wrist, "What are you going to do?" If you have something to say, it's good to say! ”

"Shopkeeper Lin, I'm looking for this quack doctor to settle accounts, and it has nothing to do with you! Move! The strong man shook his hand to break free, shook it a few times, but couldn't shake Lin Qingdai's control, knowing that the other party was not ambiguous under his hands, he didn't dare to mess around, and shouted with a stiff neck: "Shopkeeper Lin, what are you going to do?" ”

"I was about to ask what you're going to do?"

"This quack doctor has healed my brother, and I will seek his life!"

Lin Qingdai shook his hand and shook the strong man back a few steps, and said coldly: "Doctor Chai is the sitting doctor invited by my Wuwei Hall, for the sake of my face, if there is anything to say slowly, don't be rude!" ”

The white-bearded doctor was already pale with fright, and stood there with his hands raised to protect his face, trembling.

At this time, several men behind the strong man carried a corpse into the store hall with the door panel, put it on the ground, and the strong man said sadly: "I ......, my brother has a warm and damp disease, looking for this quack doctor to see a doctor, in the morning, it is okay, that is, at noon I took the medicine prescribed by this quack doctor, and it will not work in the afternoon, and it will be sent to the 'Jishitang', the eldest apprentice of the Qian Divine Doctor, Dr. Yan, who saw it, shook his head and said that it has been poisoned into his lungs and cannot be saved, but his master went to Fucheng again, and there is no way." We used ginseng to hang our lives, hoping to hear a last word, but we couldn't, and we lost our breath in the evening, woo woo woo ......"

Many men, women, and children who followed behind began to cry.

Lin Qingdai frowned, walked over and squatted down, stretched out her two fingers to probe her nose, she had no breath, touched her pulse again, rolled her eyelids, and saw that this person was really dead, her heart sank, she shook her head, got up and said: "Brother Ling's death is indeed regrettable, but whether Brother Ling died because of illness, or whether Dr. Chai prescribed the wrong medicine, we still have to find out." ”

"Check it out? What else to check clearly? The eldest apprentice of the 'Jishitang' doctor Yan Dafu said that the prescription was wrong, the third child, you tell them what Dr. Yan said! ”

A weak scholar came out of the crowd behind him, and wept and said: "Doctor Yan said, my eldest brother has a warm and damp disease, this kind of disease is wet and sticky, it is difficult to sudden, the medicine should be based on stability, when the Sanren soup or Atractylodes white tiger soup and other prescriptions are added and subtracted, so as to be stable, although the effect is slow, but there will be no mistakes, do not attack with fierce medicine, greedy for merit, this quack doctor uses the medicine of the tiger and wolf indiscriminately, and uses the Dachengqi Tang and Coptis detoxification soup to forcibly diarrhea and dissolve dampness, my eldest brother is already in a high fever and faint, how can he withstand this kind of tiger and wolf medicine, pity him for being a good person, He was healed alive by this quack! ”

The big man roared, and he was about to step forward and beat Doctor Chai again.

Lin Qingdai shook her body to stop and said, "Slow down!" What the apprentice of Jishitang Qian Divine Doctor said, does it have to be true? ”

"In this Dongda County, is there a more powerful doctor than Doctor Qian? If his apprentice doesn't count, then who can have the final say? ”
