Chapter 357: Broken Temple
Following the old beggar's guidance, a strange combination passed through the streets and alleys, all the way out of Chang'an City, and came to a ruined temple three miles away from Chang'an City. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info have to say that in this era when the superiors move their mouths and break their legs below, Lu Chengqi has a will, and the imperial guards dare not slack off a little.
Before he could go in, he saw a carriage parked outside, but there was no coachman. Lu Chengqi faintly felt that this should be the carriage used to invite Langzhong from the Tai Hospital. And the coachman should be the royal guard who was dispatched. When he arrived at the ruined temple, the little boy struggled to jump out of the arms of the imperial guards, and jumped into the ruined temple with a limp in his mouth, shouting: "Mother, mother......"
A childish voice came from inside: "Brother, my mother is fine, Lang Zhong will treat my mother, and he said that he doesn't want money......"
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he knew that this was the little boy's sister, and this was where their family of five lived. Lu Chengqi didn't seem to notice the ruins of this dilapidated temple, not even the tiled roof. It is estimated that on the days when it rained continuously some time ago, they should have had a hard life.
In the ruined temple, the statue of the god collapsed, the paint on the clay statue of the god was all gone, and even the face of the god was missing. Looking at the appearance of the shrine covered with spider silk, this ruined temple should have been abandoned for a long time. Chinese have always had the habit of worshiping the god of the land, and seeing that only one statue is enshrined in this broken temple, it should be a land temple. It may be because of the war, or it may be because the village has been relocated, and this land temple was abandoned here. After there is no incense, it gradually declines. If there is no incense in the land temple, the temple will naturally not be there. Without an owner, the land temple became a place for beggars to stay.
As soon as Lu Chengqi stepped into the ruined temple, he found that this land temple was not big. But in such a small and dilapidated temple, there are more than two people lying there. Lu Chengqi found that these were all beggars, about a dozen or so. On weekdays, they beg along the streets and will be chased by the City Defense Division, and there is no place for them to stay in Chang'an City. If you want to have a tile to cover your head, you can only find this kind of broken temple to settle down.
Before he stepped into the ruined temple, an unpleasant smell wafted out, which made Lu Chengqi unhappy for a while, and he just wanted to sneeze. Holding back the uncomfortable feeling, Lu Chengqi looked around and finally found the figure of the little boy.
I saw that the medical officer of Tai Hospital was an old acquaintance of Lu Chengqi, and after he was reborn, he treated him for a long time. This Tai Hospital is a folk saying, according to the real official signature of Dashun, it should be the Hanlin Medical Hospital. Just because there was a Tai Yi Office in the previous dynasty, somehow, the people talked about it and it became a Tai Hospital, which sounded like a mixed name of the Tai Yi Department and the Hanlin Medical Hospital.
It can be seen that Imperial Doctor Liu seems to have been there for a long time. One hand was checking the pulse of the woman lying on a thin layer of straw, and Lu Chengqi didn't make a sound to disturb. After the pulse diagnosis, Imperial Doctor Liu took his black medicine box, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the prescription with a brush. Imperial Doctor Liu was quite responsible, shook his head and said, "Your life, you can be regarded as picking it up when you meet the old man." According to this prescription, take three doses well, and there will be no major problems. If it drags on for another two or three days, it will be Da Luo Jin Xian, and it will be difficult to save! ”
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he immediately said, "Thank you Imperial Doctor Liu." ”
Imperial Doctor Liu turned around and saw that the light in the broken temple was not very good, and it happened that Lu Chengqi was carrying the light again, and it took a long time for the old and dizzy Imperial Doctor Liu to recognize Lu Chengqi, and just wanted to give a salute, but Lu Chengqi grabbed him first, and said: "Imperial Doctor Liu is really a benevolent doctor, thank you here." Who, send Imperial Doctor Liu back to Tai Hospital, and remember to give the consultation fee. When Imperial Doctor Liu heard this, he knew that this was a private visit from the little emperor. He is also an old man, although he has always been immersed in medical skills, he always understands human accidents, and he does not speak out at the moment. If the little emperor's business is ruined, maybe even a Hanlin medical officer will not be able to do it.
Lu Chengqi said to the personal little eunuch again: "You take the prescription and go to the pharmacy to grab the medicine...... Wait, there doesn't seem to be a place for decoction in this place, you decoction of medicine, and send it here quickly. ”
The little eunuch didn't dare to slack off, and got into the carriage with the imperial guards and Imperial Doctor Liu who had a task, and drove towards Chang'an City.
When the old beggar saw all this, he couldn't believe that there were such good people in this world, and he was stunned for a while, not daring to speak. The beggars around me can be regarded as reminiscing at this time, feeling that this is a rich boy, who has nothing to do to have some fun!
No, after they whispered first, they swarmed around, and they all muttered: "Son, do well, enjoy the food!" ”
Lu Chengqi found that most of these beggars were able-bodied, mostly middle-aged men, and there were also some old beggars. In later generations, Lu Chengqi despised this kind of people very much, they have hands and feet, but they are lazy and lazy, and they would rather let go of their self-esteem than support themselves. Although the heavens and dynasties of later generations have this bad and that bad, they can work hard, even if they are scavenging, they will not starve to death. Lu Chengqi looks down on scavengers, but he looks down on people who have hands and feet, sound limbs and begging for a living.
However, this era is completely different. Without land, many people would not be able to survive. Except for the tenants of the local lord's family, they can only beg for a living. Life is compelled to do it as a last resort in order to survive.
When the imperial guards saw these beggars and wanted to surround Lu Chengqi, they hurriedly pulled out their knives and shouted, "What are you going to do!" ”
Seeing the cold and shining Pu Dao, the beggars who surrounded him were so frightened that they didn't dare to move forward, and hurriedly retreated several steps. Seeing this, Lu Chengqi frowned slightly and said, "What do you do when you draw your sword, do you show off your three-legged cat kung fu?" Put it away for Ben Gongzi! ”
The imperial guards put away their knives with a roar, not daring to be dissatisfied on the surface, but said in their hearts: "I'm not afraid that something will happen to you!" ”
The guards of the Great Shun Imperial Court sound majestic, but they know their suffering. If the little emperor has any three strengths and two shortcomings, they are the first to be buried. Not only them, but even their families, have to sit together.
It's not that Lu Chengqi doesn't want to help these beggars, but the most important thing now is to treat this woman first. As for the other beggars, Lu Chengqi had to think of a way to settle them, and it was also a brainstorm.
The beggars were afraid of the simple knives of the imperial guards, and they didn't dare to come forward, and they didn't even dare to speak. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Lu Chengqi's personal little eunuch to finally carry a food box and return to the broken temple in a carriage. After seeing the woman drink the medicine, Lu Chengqi instructed the imperial guards to make a simple stretcher from local materials and lift the woman up. The little boy and the unkempt little girl were shocked and tried desperately to stop: "Don't touch my mother!" ”
Lu Chengqi said softly: "Little friend, you have to believe me, I am saving your mother." He motioned for the rest of the guards to pick them up, and then said to the old beggar, "Come with me!" ”
The old beggar knew in his heart that if Lu Chengqi wanted to harm people, he would not go to such great lengths. It seems that this rich boy is really a bodhisattva, and he wants to pull them completely. He willingly followed behind Lu Chengqi and didn't ask where to go. (To be continued.) )
