Volume 1 Useless is a Scholar Chapter 36 Encountering Qinglian in the Countryside
After leaving Daishan Village and missing the lodging point, Fu Bo was originally going to camp in the wild. In fact, along the way, he is often stationed in the wild, but Li Wuwu never misses it whenever he has the opportunity to stay in a hotel or stay overnight. In his words, it's experiencing life.
In the evening, lights flickered in the distance. Li Wuwu ordered the carriage to take a few steps, and it turned out to be a small Zhuangzi.
The arrival of the carriage startled the villagers who patrolled the night, and after asking what they meant, they simply saw that Li Wuwu was just a carriage for three people, and he didn't look like some villain, so he took them to one of the few courtyards in the village.
The owner's surname is Zhang, because his sons work in a nearby town, and his family is quite solid in Zhuangzi. Seeing Li Wuwu dressed as a scholar, Zhang Laohan was even more courteous. Be sure to make dinner.
Farmers generally don't have dinner, morning or evening, two meals a day.
In fact, Li Wuwu was originally going to cook dinner by himself, but when he saw that Yang was not the master's house, he instructed Zhao San to take rice oil, some dried meat and the like, and measure it to a sufficient amount.
Zhang Laohan originally excused himself, but when he saw a large piece of dried meat, there were about several catties of dried meat, and there was a lot of white rice, which was really good in the township. I took it with some interest, and then called the old woman to go to the kitchen together, cut most of the meat in half, poured most of the rice, and then took some of my own mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables, and after a while, there was a burst of fragrance.
Several half-year-old children were originally asleep, but they were also woken up at this time, and Zhang Laohan's two sons at home also came out of the house to take a look. Seeing Li Wuwu and the three of them, they stepped forward and talked a few words.
Li Wuwu likes to learn about the local customs and customs, and just when the meal is ready, he asked Zhao San to take out the wine, called Zhang Laohan's family to sit, and chatted happily.
It was rare to have wine and meat, so the Zhang family excused themselves and sat around the table. The child drooled over the meat, and Li Wuwu hurriedly called for the bowl to be distributed to the children.
The country people are simple, and they see Li Wuwu so easy-going and kind. It's all toasting and serving.
From time to time, Li Wuwu asked about the harvest and taxes, and if he had something, he also talked about what he saw and heard on the road. Especially the scene on the wilderness trade road made the eyes of the two sons of Zhang Laohan's family shine. At this time, Zhang Laohan sighed that he had also been to the wilderness back then, but then the situation became more and more chaotic, and the harvest at home was not good, no one took care of it, and he was afraid of natural and man-made disasters, so he nested at home.
In the countryside, you can just have something to eat, but it's not easy to eat now. Along the way, Li Wuwu was no longer naΓ―ve to think that the taxes in the Dayue Order were all paid by the people. Paying taxes and miscellaneous taxes together, working hard for a year, there is really not much left.
Fortunately, the neighborhood is quite peaceful, there are many garrisons in Changshanguan, there are teams from time to time, the general governs the army strictly, it is not extraordinary to say that the autumn is extraordinary, but the protection of the territory and the people is really done.
The town not far away mainly builds military armor equipment for the army, and at the same time, many Jianghu sects also come to purchase. The young people of ten miles and eight villages can have a job to do.
Speaking of this, Zhao San's eyes lit up, and Li Wuwu smiled and said that this time the third brother's knife had fallen.
Chatting here, someone shouted outside, and when I asked, it turned out that the little grandson of the village chief's family had a rash and saw that it was not good at night. I knew that Lao Zhang's family had a guest coming in a carriage today, and I wanted to borrow it to ask for a doctor in the town.
When Li Wuwu heard this, he hurriedly let him go, saying that he knew some medical skills, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly lit a torch to show Li Wuwu the way and went to the village chief's house.
The village chief has gray hair, and his body can see some of the sturdiness of his youth, but now his back is also hunched, and his face is full of anxiety.
Li Wuwu also understood the old man's mood, and entered the house with him. There was a boy of eight or nine years old lying on the bed, his little face was flushed at the moment, and he was asleep, not a few hums.
Li Wuwu stepped forward, turned on the light, and saw some red spots on the child's face, opened the collar, and there were some on the neck. Li Wuwu carefully looked at the roots of his ears and arms, and then silently raised his forehead and took a pulse. Some groaning.
Seeing Li Wuwu's expression, the village chief hurriedly stepped forward: "Childe, how is it?"
The tone was a little anxious.
"It's measles. β
"Ahh
How to say, this measles can be transmitted from person to person and can also cause death, but most of the warriors are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of these diseases. But for ordinary people, especially children, this is really a terrible thing.
As soon as I heard that it was measles, I didn't know what to do, and the doctor in the town stayed away from measles. No matter how far away the child is, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it, and I don't know how to treat it better with a doctor. Most of the villagers have never been far away, and those who have to go out are a little panicked.
Li Wuwu is thinking about how to treat it, he knows a lot of methods, but there are no medicinal materials, and the child is small, so how to be safer is also to be considered.
Seeing that the child was still having a high fever, Li Wuwu thought about it and said, "I'll see if the child's fever has subsided first, and I'll talk about it later." β
The village chief said yes repeatedly.
Li Wuwurang took the dagger, burned it on the fire, and then gently stabbed a small hole in the child's middle finger and put a small cup of blood. I put a cool towel on my head again, and after a while, the child's face became less red and he slept peacefully.
The family hastened to thank them.
The village chief asked Li Wuwu if he could cure it, and Li Wuwu said that he could prescribe a prescription, and he would go to the town tomorrow to catch the medicine and come back, as long as there was no wind, it would be fine in a few days.
The village chief's family didn't expect that the passers-by they met casually would have a way, and they hurriedly thanked them for their kindness, asking for money and inviting them to eat and drink.
Li Wuwu hurriedly said that he had eaten it, and he didn't want money, so he took a pen and paper to open the recipe by the light, and told him how to eat it, and what to do. As he was talking, there was a noise outside, and someone shouted: "Okay, okay, the Qinglian Immortal is here, and the baby is saved." β
Hearing the name of the Qinglian Immortal Envoy, the village chief's family rushed out to greet him, and Li Wuwu was also curious to go out to see.
I saw that there was already a kneeling in the courtyard, all of them to welcome the immortal envoy.
The immortal envoy looked to be in his twenties, wearing a cyan robe with a white lotus embroidered on it, and a Taoist crown on his head, dressed like a Taoist. There were a few people with him behind him.
Seeing Li Wuwu and a few people standing there, without kneeling to greet him, the immortal envoy was stunned, saw Li Wuwu wearing a Confucian robe, and took a few more looks.
The villager over there stood up and talked about the matter, the immortal envoy walked into the house, and did not step forward, he glanced at the child from a distance, took the prescription held by the village chief, and saw the words of the iron and silver hook and couldn't help but glance at Li Wuwu again, and then threw the prescription contemptuously, and said: "When this medicine is drunk, it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. β
As he spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, on which was painted cinnabar talisman.
Li Wuwu glanced at it, an ordinary exorcism charm.
The fairy envoy said, "Bring me a bowl of water." β
Someone hurriedly brought the water over, and the immortal envoy took it, holding the bowl in one hand, and holding the rune paper with his fingers in the other, chanting words in his mouth, shaking the rune paper in the air, and the rune spontaneously combusted without wind.
The immortal envoy sent the burned talisman into the bowl, stirred his fingers in the water, and said, "Drink the immortal talisman water, and go out for a walk tomorrow morning!"
For a while, everyone was grateful again, and Li Wuwu smelled the smoke of the burning rune paper, and his face was a little strange.
