Chapter Forty-Nine: Death Row Prisoner Hua Tuo
"The last will obey." Guan Yu Zhang flew out and ordered 50 tiger guards, ready to go.
"My lord, I'll go too, I'll go too." Xu Chu saw that he had something to do, and he was anxious to go together.
"Okay, Zhongkang, you can't be reckless if you listen to Brother Guan."
Inside the prison, there is no daylight, the sun is scorching outside, but inside, it is bitterly cold. The air was filled with a musty stench, and cockroaches and rats crawled everywhere. The most famous "miracle doctor" in ancient times was locked up here, Hua Tuo, who was locked in a separate cell, sleeping only on straw, and without a quilt...... Despite this, Hua Tuo still didn't want to be frozen to death in such weather, and his body was originally thin, because for a few days, he had eaten some scraps, and the whole person was even more depressed. In order to keep out the cold, Hua Tuo practiced his self-created 'Five Fowl Opera' over and over again, and when he was tired, he shrunk into a ball to rest, and when it was cold, he continued to practice boxing, and so on.
He really didn't want to die. In this era, although life is cheap, it is nothing if a civilian dies, but his life's work "Qingxiang Jing" is only half completed, and what makes him even more unacceptable is that he has not yet found a suitable successor. Several times declined to be recommended by officials, preferring to pinch the golden hoop bell and run around the suffering people. In the medical journey, there are countless resurrections. I am not confused by the symptoms of my treatment, I am streamlined in my medication, and I am well versed in the interaction between body and mind. I'm not a drug abuser. I attach great importance to preventive health care, "cure people before they get sick", observe the natural ecology, and teach people to breathe life harmony. However, for terminally ill patients, no injections are added, and they tell them frankly.
I attach great importance to the experience of folk healing, and I often absorb and refine it to treat some common diseases. At that time, jaundice was widely spread, and I spent three years trying to test the efficacy of Artemisia sinensis, and decided to treat it with the young leaves of Artemisia sinensis in spring and March, and treated many patients. Because of this, there is a folk ballad: "March Yin Chen April Artemisia, passed on to future generations to remember, March Yin Chen can cure diseases, May and June as firewood." I also used warm soup and hot compresses to treat scorpion stings, and moss paste to treat the swelling and pain after wasp stings; Use garlic to treat insect disease; use perilla to treat fish and crab poisoning; Treat cough with white front; Use yellow essence to make up for fatigue. And so on, which is easy to do and quick to achieve.
It's a pity that I can only take these to the underworld with me. Knowing this, I should have divided these medical books with Dong Feng and Zhang Zhongjing.
Thinking of his medical book, Hua Tuo took him out and called the jailer, hoping that he could give his medical book to those who needed it, but the jailer was very disdainful and didn't take care of Hua Tuo at all. In desperation, Hua Tuo prepared to burn the medical book.
Here, Guan Yu and the others were in a hurry to take Hua Tuo back to see their housewife, so they hurried away, and when they arrived at the door, they showed the handprint of the lord, and the jailer also respectfully introduced Guan Yu and the others into the cell.
"Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo, where are you, hurry up, my fat brother is looking for you." Zhang Fei screamed loudly as soon as he was in his cell.
Hua Tuo was about to burn the book, but the book was about to hit the fire, and suddenly he was thundered by this loud voice, the prison was originally narrow, so loud, the ears were uncomfortable. I heard that the man seemed to tell him to go out, and he wanted to go out, but the door was locked!
"General, the Hua Tuo you are looking for is here." The jailer next to him saw Zhang Fei shouting, his ears hurt next to him, and he hurriedly gave Zhang Fei guidance.
"Hahaha, sensible" Zhang Fei looked at the jailer's performance, smiled, patted the jailer on the shoulder, and gave others an approving look.
The jailer was almost kneeling down by Zhang Fei's light pat, so he quickly smiled, ran ahead to lead the way, and didn't look at how big the jailer was.
Guan Yu and the others came to a cell with the jailer, and saw that a middle-aged man was still reading with the lamp on, and immediately gave the other party an approving look, Guan Yu thought: Down-and-out like this, and still have the heart to read, just like he was with the lord back then, he had to read books when he sold dates, and this kind of bearing was very rare. Hey, people are going to burn books, okay!
"You are Hua Tuo, Hua Shen Doctor?" Guan Yu looked at the somewhat depressed literati on the other side and confirmed.
"The old man is exact, I don't know what the general is?" It's not like you're going to ask in advance.
"Since you are the Hua Shen Doctor, then you can come with us immediately, my housewife is sick and needs medical treatment urgently." Guan Yu heard the other party say that the old man's eyelids jumped, although he looked down, he was also quite young, he couldn't think about it too much, it was important to save people.
"Old man, he is about to be executed, how can he get out of the cell, since the general wants to save people, then please move the patient here, I will treat myself."
"How can I come to this gloomy place, let you go with me, cure my housewife, and my father-in-law can guarantee your innocence, how about it?" Guan Yu said with some angry temptation.
"Cell boss, what are you stunned about? If I don't open the door, I'm going to break your neck. Zhang Fei saw that everyone had been found, and he didn't let them go, so he was angry in his heart and yelled at the cell boss directly.
"Yes, yes, yes, right away, right away." The cell boss was really in a daze, thinking that these generals were really boring, and he was really an idiot to take the death row prisoners away, thinking about being suddenly yelled at by Zhang Fei, and looking at Zhang Fei's fierce appearance, the whole person trembled, and it was not easy to open the lock.
"That's it, looking for death, I just practiced my hands." Xu Chu, the fat man, pinched his fingers directly, as if he really wanted to hit someone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, spare your life! The people are released, don't take them away, otherwise, I will die. The cell boss looked at a few big men and wanted to take people away, but he could only beg.
"You don't need to worry about this, my lord, but the brother-in-law of the current emperor, Youzhou Mu, this is a warrant from my lord, you had better release people, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." Guan Yu handed the warrant to the cell boss and said with relief.
"Yes, General, I will take a risk in this way, and hand over the warrant to the adult, saying that it is the person who took it away from the Lord Youzhou." The cell boss said very carefully, this is a royal family, wait a minute, really kill yourself, it is estimated that you will die in vain, I think the lord will not embarrass me if he reads the warrant. After that, he stood aside and did not speak.
"Doctor Hua, saving people is like fighting a fire, please leave with us quickly." Guan Yu was also a little anxious.
Healers are here to heal diseases and save lives, and now others are saving their own lives, and they can't be indifferent. "Let's go, General, I'm just this broken medicine box, I don't have anything to tidy up."
"Please" Guan Yu politely gave way and let Hua Tuo go ahead.
"You'd better hurry, slowly. Yes!! Zhang Fei looked at Hua Tuo's slow speed, and he was urging, but before he finished speaking, he saw Hua Tuo disappear in a smoke, shouted for help, and chased him out, "Brother Guan, that old boy ran away, hurry up."
As soon as a group of people chased to the door, they found that Hua Tuo did not run, but stood at the door with a medicine box on his back and waited for them. Guan Yu and the others also knew that this Hua Tuo was also a master, or an internal master, so there was more respect and admiration in their eyes, but everyone was also selfish, they practiced all the horizontal practices of the outside family, and if there was an internal kung fu assistance, their own kung fu would be able to go to the next level.
"Mr. Hua, this is your carriage, please take a seat." The titles have changed, but Hua Tuo is not surprised, he didn't want them to despise him.
