Chapter 157: Doctor Raven
Dr. Birdbeak is quite busy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the little Tang Grand Duke had approved that he could choose suitable people among the slaves as his assistants at will, what use could a group of people who had only been trained for a few days be to do the rough work of wiping the patient's body, mopping the floor and pouring water, and when the patient felt unwell, it was still necessary to let the bird's beak doctor appear.
And one hundred and twenty-four patients, even if many of them are getting better, but at the same time, there are more diseases that are constantly deteriorating, after all, this is still the Middle Ages, even if the idea of the little Tang Grand Duke is good, the damned will still die, this is no way to do it.
But Dr. Birdbeak is still trying to save as many lives as possible.
"Thank you, Dr. Raven!"
"It's all thanks to you, Dr. Raven!"
The words of sincere gratitude that come out of the patient's mouth every day are the greatest comfort to Dr. Birdbeak, and as long as there is a patient in need, then Dr. Birdbeak will not hesitate to lend a hand.
It's so stupid, it's naΓ―ve, but ...... Impressive, isn't it?
"Father, am I not good enough, and my medical skills are not good enough?"
The sun was about to set, and the curfew was about to begin, and although Doctor Birdbeak had the privilege of being the second most important in Douglas - the first was Patriarch Olaf, Doctor Birdbeak still paid attention to the rules of the city and returned to his residence early before the curfew.
If the privilege of Doctor Bird's Beak can only be ranked second, then his residence must be ranked first, anyway, this is a trivial matter, and Patriarch Olaf is happy to be a favor, but Doctor Bird's Beak seems to be completely unconcerned.
At this moment, in this luxurious room, the Bird's Beak Doctor took off his crow suit, and he ...... Perhaps it should be called her now, and asked silently, pulling out a heavy yellowed parchment book from under the bed.
Yes, Dr. Raven is a woman, and she is a beautiful woman who is one in a million in terms of size and appearance, and is no worse than anyone else, but this kind of capital that should make ordinary people proud is only troubles for Dr. Birdbeak.
Because this is the Middle Ages, the Middle Ages when women have no status, whether in Christendom or in the green world, women are just a kind of vassal, a trophy of the victors, a jewel used to decorate the crown, dazzling, but not a little useless.
It is precisely because of this that Dr. Birdbeak wears the crow suit that is thick and impermeable, often stuffy and sweaty, and also binds his chest, and deliberately makes a rough voice so that people do not recognize it, in fact, in the entire Douglas City, only Olaf Patriarch knows that Doctor Birdbeak is a woman.
But the point is not here, although it is indeed surprising that Dr. Birdbeak is a woman, but since Dr. Birdbeak himself is unwilling to reveal the identity of a woman, let's skip it for the time being.
A parchment book that is thick and heavy, and even the footers are beginning to yellow, this is not a cheap thing, and it has been said several times before that when the little Tang Dagong had not yet invented paper, a parchment Bible was enough to buy a small manor, and even now it is not cheap. What's more, there is still a lot of knowledge on this parchment, which can be passed down as a family heirloom in ancient times.
In fact, this parchment book is indeed the heirloom of Dr. Birdbeak, which has been passed down from generation to generation since his grandfather's generation, and it can be said that Dr. Birdbeak's medical skills are all learned from this book.
"The Medical Codex written by the patriarch Ibn Sena, 5 volumes, 37 chapters, 760 medicines, 46 pulses, each of which I remember is very ripe, and I am confident that it will not be inferior to any other famous doctor, but why, I can only watch my life pass away, and a person who has never studied medicine can save them?"
A long sigh sounded from the mouth of the Birdbeak Doctor, who felt lonely in this empty room, and asked the deceased to ask for nothing, but only to ask for comfort. After a while, the distraught Birdbeak Doctor really couldn't read a book, and the time was too early, and the servant who delivered the bath water had not yet arrived, it was too boring to be idle, so he said......
"Let's go out and take a walk, although this crow suit is too uncomfortable, maybe one or two patients will need me?"
Thinking so, Dr. Birdbeak picked up the crow suit that was almost full of sweat inside, wrapped tightly, and sure that there would be no embarrassment such as milk shaking when he walked, and then he went out boldly.
Sometimes, some parts are too big, which is also a nuisance.
Naturally, there will not be a single pedestrian on the street where the curfew has begun, let alone pedestrians, for the sake of the cleanliness of the environment, even the dogs have been caught clean by the Olaf patriarch, and there is silence, which is completely different from the cheerful and lively atmosphere during the day.
"I regret it...... Should have stayed in the house a little longer......"
Wearing a heavy crow suit is certainly not a good experience, but after walking on the street for a while, Dr. Bird's Beak feels a little regretful, although the house is a little empty, but this street is even more lonely!
At this moment, the sound of stray footsteps came from behind him.
"Doctor?"
Olaf Patriarch's voice, the beak doctor quickly turned around, and sure enough, it was Olaf Patriarch who was patrolling the streets with a team of people.
"Patriarch Olaf, are you still patrolling outside at such a late hour?"
Doctor Birdbeak asked rhetorically, but Patriarch Olaf was not in a hurry to reply, so he let out a long breath first, including those Viking boys behind Patriarch Olaf, who also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the crow costume of the Bird's Beak Doctor is really easy to identify, there will definitely be no second person in Douglas City who will wear this dress again, but when the sun is about to set and the sky is dyed yellow, such a black figure suddenly appears around the corner, and children will cry in fright!
"No way, Your Excellency has decided to come here in five days to inspect, I must be ready."
ββ¦β¦ Well? β
Patriarch Olaf said with a wry smile, in exchange for a question from the bird's beak doctor, His Excellency the Grand Duke personally came here to inspect this place where the plague has not disappeared?
"You guys, let's go around the neighborhood first, and I'm going to have a few words with the doctor."
"Yes, Boss."
Patriarch Olaf turned around and spoke to his teammates first, waiting for a hippie smiley reply before making an inviting gesture, and the Birdbeak Doctor did not hesitate and immediately followed.
"To make you laugh, it's a bunch of young men who are not big or small."
"No, I think they're elite, and even in the places I've been before, there are very few armies that can defeat them."
Doctor Bird's Beak is not a polite word, although her identity is not easy to reveal, but wearing this crow suit, coupled with superb medical skills and some camouflage, she has been to a lot of places, and there are many soldiers who have been diagnosed, and it is indeed rare to be able to compare with these Viking boys.
"Where, they can only be regarded as a little stronger than ordinary garbage, and the truly elite soldiers should be able to enforce the order and prohibition, just like the army of His Excellency the Grand Duke......"
"You seem to have a lot of respect for the Grand Duke?"
Doctor Birdbeak asked suspiciously, she had wanted to ask since before, Olaf Patriarch had been saying good things about the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang in front of her, benevolent, fair, tolerant and trustworthy, as if there were few things in heaven and no ones on earth.
"This ...... How so? You don't think you've been to Desmond yet, have you? β
Doctor Bird's beak asked this question to make Olaf Patriarch embarrassed, everyone knows that Xiao Tang is good, but where is the good, there are too many good places to say!
"If you go to Desmond and ask a random passer-by, there will not be a single one who does not say that His Excellency the Grand Duke is good, and if you ask in the whole of Ireland, five or six out of ten will say that he is good, and I am not talking big, because His Excellency the Grand Duke has this ability."
"Economic, military, and political, as if there is nothing that His Excellency does not understand, three years ago Desmond was poor and would not even come to robbers, but now Desmond, not to mention rich, at least no one will go hungry."
After a moment's hesitation, Patriarch Olaf replied, and Dr. Birdbeak nodded in understanding, it was already a great feat to be able to feed most of the people, and no one was hungry...... No wonder everyone would praise His Excellency the Grand Duke.
"You just said that His Excellency the Grand Duke is coming here to inspect?"
After walking for a while, Dr. Birdbeak remembered the question he hadn't answered just now, and couldn't help but ask again. As soon as the words were spoken, a wry smile appeared on the face of the Olaf patriarch.
"Yes, His Excellency the Grand Duke has already made a decision, even the Count of Olcoba, the knight who followed His Excellency the Grand Duke that day, there is no way to stop it, and besides, the plague here has been controlled, and the Count of Alcoba has no reason to stop it."
It seems that His Excellency this Grand Duke is not only highly regarded by the people, but also has the same high control over his subordinates......
Doctor Bird's Beak thought in his heart, his understanding of the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang has gone up a notch, a wise monarch, loyal subordinates, and a group of capable people to assist, the future of this Grand Duke cannot be underestimated.
"Anyway...... Ina, is this your real name? β
It was rare that there was a trace of embarrassment in Olaf's words, and the Birdbeak Doctor immediately turned his head to look at Olaf Patriarch, and was looked at by the Birdbeak Doctor, especially the sharp and long crow's beak was even more terrifying in the growing night, and Olaf Patriarch couldn't help but panic.
"Well, I'm sorry to say that...... But you know, I certainly can't deceive Your Excellency, so I've reported you as a woman, and Your Excellency is very interested in you and wants to see you alone......"
ββ¦β¦β
Doctor Birdbeak frowned suddenly, a man seeing a woman alone immediately made her have many associations that she couldn't say in detail, but this can't be blamed on Doctor Bird's Beak, after all, she is a girl who is active outside, especially in the green world where men are supreme, and it is normal to be a little precautionary.
However, before the Birdbeak Doctor could say something of refusal, Clan Chief's next words directly scorched her and left her speechless in shock.
"Besides, when Your Excellency wishes to meet you alone, you'd better not wear your clothes......"
