Chapter 34: The Demon Dao
As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival passed, what happened on the river embankment spread all over the streets and alleys of Qizhou City, and I heard that Huang Lianzu's group of scoundrels wearing brocade clothes and military hats were all locked up by the officials, and the old man Zhang of Zhizhou put them all in the state government prison, and the people all applauded.
In addition, the mother insect Sun Erniang and a group of people also suffered from the pond fish, and the hooligans and gangsters in Manqi Prefecture have converged a lot, so that the law and order on the street has greatly improved, and there is quite a weather of the world's great governance of the sea and the river banquet.
After the disciples returned to the medical hall, Li Shizhen asked, Qin Lin only said that he knew Niu Dali, and he put all the work on the new leader of the Zhuang class; Everyone in the medical hall knew that Qin Lin had discovered the problem of Artemisia annua, and Yu Niu Dali had the grace to save his mother, so it was not strange that Niu Dali tried his best to help him, so he was easily fooled.
Zhang Jianlan and Bai Yong colluded with outsiders to be unfavorable to Qin Lin and Qingdai, and now in retrospect, they can't get out of the matter of Huang Lianzu's blocking of the door and hiring them, which is already a crime of betraying the teacher and bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestor.
What's more, Qin Lin also put on the big hats of "White Lotus Sect", "Fake Jinyi Guard" and "Inciting Civil Unrest" to kill people?
Before they could get out of the prison, the hospital had announced that they would be expelled from the school, and they would have nothing to do with each other from now on. Li Jianfang also made a special trip to the Huimin Pharmacy to prepare a case, and in the future, these two people will not be allowed to practice medicine under the signature of Li's Medical Center and Li Shizhen's successor -- in this way, even if they can get out of prison, they will have no place in the Huguang area.
After this incident, the disciples of the medical hall were faintly headed by Qin Lin, and when many people went home, the neighbors also asked them about the young man who had made Huang Lianzu, the demon king of the mixed world, suffer and lose face twice!
Qing Dai is also getting closer and closer to him, but the etiquette is very strict, the so-called affection is not polite, Qin Lin can also take the opportunity to study the pulse or teach sketching to touch the little hands, and it will not work if he goes further, fortunately, although Qin Lin often talked to a group of female policemen in his previous life, he didn't really talk about a girlfriend, and he was already very happy to flirt with poor Qing Dai when he had nothing to do now.
The only regret is that since she came back from the riverside, Qingdai has never called "Brother Qin" again, shouting from her junior brother and younger brother all day long, and from time to time she has to put down her senior sister's tsundere score, Qin Lin will inevitably worry about her husband's weakness in the future.
On this day, I finally talked about "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula" roughly, Qingdai pulled the hair on her forehead, and said happily: "Senior brother, I can't see that you are very talented, I have never seen someone who learns so fast with you, no wonder grandpa said that you can inherit his mantle in the future." ”
Qin Lin nodded quite seriously and shook his head again.
Qing Dai's eyes widened curiously, and she said unhappily: "What, are you still not happy to praise you?" Just learned a prescription and the medicine bureau cocked his tail? ”
"Someone still calls me junior brother? Let me think about what she called that day on the embankment? Qin Lin pretended to think, and after a while, he pointed at the orchid, deliberately prolonged his voice, and said angrily: "Brother Love~~"
Qing Dai was embarrassed: "That's because you said that you are in a hurry to obey the power, and besides, people are not as disgusting as you!" ”
"Oh, that's not what it's called......" Qin Lin scratched his scalp, and the evil smile on his face was like a big bad wolf seducing Little Red Riding Hood: "Well, what is my little Qingdai called?" ”
"I'm called Qin, brother, brother", Qing Dai bit the word Qin very clearly.
Qin Lin nodded, and suddenly realized: "Oh, it's Brother Love." ”
"It's Brother Qin, Brother Qin, Brother Qin!" Qing Dai screamed three times in a row.
Qin Lin immediately responded: "Hey~ I heard it, my sister~"
At this point, the little girl covered her mouth with an understanding, and when she looked at the evil smile of Qin Lin, the big bad wolf, she immediately understood that she had been fooled, and her face immediately became hot.
"I hate it, I'm always a liar!" Qing Dai pursed her small mouth, shook her hand and walked out: "Ignore you." ”
Qin Lin laughed and chased after him.
Qing Dai was shy and anxious, walked extremely fast, and walked out of the small courtyard where the disciples lived in a few steps, bypassing the corridor to the small flower hall next to the lobby.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Shizhen, Li Jianfang, Pang Xian, and the shopkeeper Zhou of the pharmacy affiliated to the medical hall were all in the hall, Qingdai and Qin Lin were startled, and they stopped and wanted to leave from the corridor.
Overheard the sound of conversation coming from the hall, the content surprised them, the big black eyes of the green daisy rolled around, beckoned to Qin Lin, and the two of them sat on the swing outside the window of the flower hall, listening to the conversation inside.
"Owner, it's strange in recent times, the sales of common medicines such as bellflower, banlan root, and honeysuckle have suddenly declined, so it is said that these drugs should be used in the midsummer heat?" Shopkeeper Zhou was quite puzzled, paused and said: "It's the palaces of each family, buying cinnabar, mercury, sulfur, deer antler, ginseng, autumn stone and other things one by one, this situation is really weird." ”
Li Jianfang said indifferently: "Then the pharmacy will buy less bellflower and other medicines, and more cinnabar, deer antler and the like, won't it end?" Platycodon and banyan root are cheap, and cinnabar and autumn stone are more expensive, so our pharmacy will make more money than before. ”
"I don't think something is right, isn't there a Taoist priest who is opening the furnace for alchemy?" Li Shizhen waved his hand and asked Pang Xian again: "The number of people who go to the hospital for treatment is also much less than before, do you know the reason?" ”
Pang Xian hesitated for a moment before saying: "It is true that the number of patients has decreased, and the disciple has inquired, saying that it is the Xuanmiaoguan who has come to a Taoist master, what kind of Jindan Avenue to cultivate, and has the ability to move stars and change buckets, not only bewitched King Jing to hide in the palace to open a furnace for alchemy, but also said that there is no need for treatment if there is a disease, as long as you pray to God with all your heart, you can be cured by drinking his talisman water." Those poor people want to be cheap, so ......"
Li Shizhen was so angry that he slapped the table, "How can this be reasonable, how can this be true!" ”
Li Jianfang hurriedly slapped his father's back, and after a while, Li Shizhen calmed down and said slowly: "Although our doctors don't want business to prosper, we hope that people in the world will be free of illness and pain, but it doesn't mean that these people should believe in witchcraft and magic!" These people don't believe in ghosts and gods, and sooner or later they have to drag a minor illness into a major illness, and a major illness will drag it to death, aren't they very wronged? ”
Li Jianfang didn't care much about it, and Wen Yan persuaded his father: "In fact, those who have diseases and go to ask for Fu Shui are originally extremely poor people. The rich and noble people believe in Taoism, but they are just asking for something ethereal, and they have to come to our hospital when they are sick. In this way, in fact, he begged his talisman water, and we opened our medical center, but it has nothing to do with each other. ”
In fact, Li Jianfang's words are quite reasonable, although Li's medical center does not charge high prices, but the medicine has a cost after all, except for the really poor people who can owe it on credit, the rest of the patients still have to pay for medicine, otherwise the hospital will not be able to maintain.
In contrast, the cost of the Taoist priest's talisman is only one piece of yellow mounted paper, and the poor people ask for one or two pennies, which is naturally much cheaper.
As for the effect, the human body has a certain ability to heal itself, and common diseases such as colds and fevers do not need to be treated, but the course of the disease is longer and the symptoms are more serious. Therefore, the Taoist priest drew a talisman and burned it with water for these patients to drink, just like a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and there are always five or six out of ten people who finally get better.
And the cultivation of the rich family is nothing more than immortality and the golden gun, and if you are really sick, you still go to the hospital for treatment.
If you consider it economically, although the number of patients in the hospital is reduced, the poor people who can't afford to pay for medical expenses are the poor, not only will they not reduce their income, but even because of the less subsidy, the income will be greater!
Unexpectedly, Li Shizhen was furious, and almost smashed the table apart, and scolded his son loudly: "Ridiculous! If it is about making money, is it still the compassionate heart of my generation of doctors?
If the rich don't come to see the sick, they can't stay up, they always have to believe in the art of disambiguation, he can afford expensive medicine, he can invite any kind of doctor, and it is easier to cure than others; However, in order to save a little money, the poor people fell into the devil's way, and only regretted it when they were seriously ill, they had no money to hire a doctor, no money to buy medicine, and gave away their lives in vain, how miserable! ”
Li Jianfang was scolded so much that he bowed his head and was silent, but it was Pang Xian who persuaded him from the side, and Li Shizhen gradually lost his anger.
"No, the old man can't watch them deceive people," Li Shizhen said to Pang Xian: "Since that demon Dao dares to confuse the public, then you can accompany the old man to a trip to Huimin Pharmacy, make an appointment with the owner of the medical hall and the owner of the pharmacy in the city, and ask the demon Dao for an explanation!" ”
After that, Li Shizhen immediately forced Pang Xian to accompany him out, and went to Huimin Pharmacy angrily, but Li Jianfang couldn't stop him.
Outside the window, Qin Lin listened to the good life and admired, an old man like Li Shizhen, who takes the happiness and hardship of the common people as his own responsibility, is worthy of the title of the King of Great Medicine!
Qing Dai had a bitter face, she didn't care about the income of the medical hall like her uncle Li Jianfang, but I heard that the Taoist priest was very knowledgeable, and he had close contacts with dignitaries, so she couldn't help but worry about her grandfather.
After thinking for a moment, she shook Qin Lin's arm: "Hey, do you think grandpa will ......?"
Probably not, right? Qin Lin is not sure, it stands to reason that Li Shizhen will certainly not suffer the loss of a Taoist priest, but what Taoist priest is so powerful, not only coaxing King Jing to turn around, but also deceiving so many ordinary people?
Qin Lin couldn't help but think of the image of the three masters and apprentices of the Clematis in his mind, and he shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: No, with their master-apprentice skills and prestige......
"Wait until I go out and ask, there should be some of the patients who know about this great immortal," Qin Lin went out, and when he came back, his face became very strange.
Concerned about grandpa's reputation, Qingdai asked anxiously: "What's the matter, what are you laughing at?" ”
Qin Lin had already covered his stomach and laughed wildly, and it took a long time to raise his head: "Absolutely, there will definitely be no problem, Master Tai will definitely succeed if he goes to crusade against these demons!" ”
