Chapter 2: Strangeness Verse 6: The Long First Day (1)
“…… What do you have to say? Liu Yao was the first to react and hurriedly stepped forward and said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Who are you?" The farmer put the hoe at his side, arched his hand quickly, picked it up again, and asked very warily. Liu Yao didn't pay attention to his question, and was secretly glad that he could basically understand what people in this time and space were saying. It sounds like a mixture of Hangzhou or Nanjing dialect and Cantonese, not the imaginary Hainanese dialect that is completely incomprehensible to non-locals. Seeing that the hoe was coming sideways again, he hurriedly replied according to the script: "My ancestor is from Mingzhou Mansion in Zhejiang, and he has been doing business overseas with his elders for many years since he was a child, and now he has returned to his hometown and province, but unfortunately he was shipwrecked and lived here. ”
"Where do you want to go?"
Liu Yao pointed to the house in front of him. It is a large-scale brick house, surrounded by brick walls, with exaggerated steep lines on the roof similar to those of Fujian or Thailand, and towering cornices that are completely different from those of ancient buildings.
"What's going on?"
Why ask for help? Besides, this house doesn't look like yours. Liu Yao resisted the smell of sweat on the other party's body, and felt a little unsure of where to start, so he had to try to speak as clearly as possible from the beginning: "I know a little about business and a little about medicine." Now that I am living in a noble land, I want to find a solid family, do some business together, and settle down. ”
The farmer thought for a moment, turned and walked ahead, and led the family to the house. In order to mobilize the atmosphere, Liu Yao said to his wife and children: "This house really looks like there is room for imagination, and it is completely different from the illegal building houses built of broken wood that we passed all the way." This is the local tyrant of this plane, haha. The two ladies looked at the silent and sturdy farmer in front of them, and could not be happier.
The farmer took two quick steps and knocked on the door. A huge unkempt head stretched out from the door that suddenly opened, and after seeing this strangely dressed group, he asked hesitantly: "Sun Zhenggang, is this ...... Did you bring a doctor? ”
The farmer didn't make a sound, took half a step back, and let Liu Yao walk forward.
"Are you a doctor? Why do you dress completely differently from us? Could it be an overseas visitor? Gao Jianling, the contemptible man, is the housekeeper in this house, and is waiting for the doctor to come to the door. "This executive is also covered in sweat, but he is very good at talking.
"Under Liu Yao...... Indeed, he has returned from overseas...... Will be a little bruised...... Is someone sick in your house? I'm not very good at medicine, but I know something about doing business and opening a factory, and I'm here to negotiate with the master of your house to do some business. ”
The man was stunned and asked, "Can a broken leg be cured?" ”
Liu Yao replied: "...... It's not that it can't be ...... I'm afraid that everything is not complete. ”
The man's eyes rolled, and he didn't tell Liu Yao's family what to do, and turned around and left without saying a word.
Mei Xianzhuo didn't want to see the visitor at all, because his son Mei Jiaju fell off the cliff and broke his calf, Bai Sensen's bone stubble came out of his leg and stomach, and he was sweating profusely in pain, but the doctor in the county town was delayed.
"Outside the staff, Lao Sun didn't say who he was, but I don't think it's an ordinary person, it's just that he is dressed strangely." The unkempt executive shook the fan sharply, so that Mei Xianzhuo also fanned the wind so that he could lower the anger, and said carefully.
"Did they say what they were here for?"
"Nope. It's just that he wants to see the master's family, saying that they can do business together, and they will start a business or something. ”
"Didn't you ask him if he could heal his wounds?"
"I don't understand what he says, but it seems to be called ...... It's not that it can't. ”
"It's not that it can't? Is that can? Please come in! ”
"Sir, can you heal?" Mei Xianzhuo didn't have time to say hello, so he asked directly, staring at Liu Yao in a daze.
"I can treat some surgical symptoms, and women know some gynecology."
"No internal medicine?"
"Incurable. Lack of equipment and medications. ”
"Can it cure broken bones?"
"It's not that it can't be treated, but I'm afraid that the drugs and equipment are not complete."
"Can you open a medical clinic?"
"Drugs and devices are difficult to promote, so only a few diseases can be diagnosed, and even fewer can be treated. Therefore, it is better that the medical center is still not open. Liu Yao expressed it as precisely and briefly as possible. The language of this time and space is still not very easy to understand, and it is not as easy as the feeling of taking IELTS speaking back then.
Liu Yao replied calmly on the surface, but his heart was nervous. There are not enough windows in the living room, the light is dim, and the air is not well circulated. Judging by the heavy walls and the tall and small windows, safety is far more important than comfort. This is clearly not an era in which the rule of law is sound and society is stable.
Mei Xianzhuo asked as smoothly as possible: "I have an injury here, would you like to take a look?" ”
"Please." Liu Yao made a gesture with the shelf. The calm and calm attitude made Mei Xianzhuo feel at ease. In fact, most of the days have passed, and Dr. Lu in the county town has not come, most of them are afraid that they will not be cured and hide. There is no one to treat his son, which is really unlucky. At this time, as long as someone is willing to treat, they have to rush to the doctor.
The group walked to the back of the hall, and there was a patio in front of them, which seemed to be the pattern of ancient dwellings entering and entering. As soon as I walked into the patio, I saw a tall woman in a satin dress with a girl with a ring walking over, and gave a blessing salute, so she dragged one by one and pulled Yao Ying and Liu Man aside.
Seeing that the three members of the Liu family were a little flustered, Mei Xianzhuo hurriedly said: "This is an insider, accompany Mrs. Zun to rest, have some refreshments, and talk." ”
The tall woman made a blessing to Liu Yao, smiled and took Yao Ying's hand, and her eyes only looked at the baby in her arms: "The good son born by the sister, the son has a blessed face." ”
"Don't panic, you see that she is wearing silk clothes, not to mention that she speaks so politely. It's going to be fine. If you can treat it later, you two will help. It's better to put you to sleep and give them to watch. Liu Yao suppressed the worries in his heart and comforted his wife and children. Seeing that his wife was not at ease about handing over the child to others, she added: "Don't hesitate, our family of four is in the hands of others." ”
Yao Ying and Liu Man were pulled to the side room step by step, only to see a set of typical Ming-style reception tables and chairs inside, and tea and snacks on the coffee table. Liu Man was honest and unkind, and ate and drank before he sat down. Mrs. Mei made a blessing to Yao Ying and introduced herself: "I am the lady of this family, and everyone calls me Mrs. Mei." It's not an honorific title, it's just that it's all called that. Come, all sit down and rest. Yao Ying looked at the wenge wood furniture, and for some reason, she suddenly put her mind at ease, and she didn't know where to start, so she hurriedly fed her son some soft snacks. Instead, Liu Man hurriedly swallowed the food, raised his head and said to Mrs. Mei: "Hello, the operation will start in a while, we are going to help, please find a place for my brother to sleep, and find someone to watch him." Mrs. May was stunned for a moment, and told the girl to prepare.
Liu Yao followed Mei Xianzhuo through the gate alone to the second courtyard, and saw Mei Jiaju with a pale face and his terrible wounds on a temporary bed under the eaves, the white bone stubble pierced the skin and was exposed, and the mattress was full of blood, and his heart was very heavy. It was a major operation, and the only thing he had to rely on was some video he had just watched a few hours ago, and he didn't have any equipment.
"Mr. Mei, with all due respect, even if there are enough materials and appliances, it is difficult for me to guarantee the success of the treatment." Liu Yao pondered for a moment and slowly spoke. He was really not sure about the operation, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to explore the truth first.
"I know. It is indeed more auspicious than lucky. ”
"Mr. Mei has invited an injury doctor?"
"To tell you the truth, Dr. Lu in the county, I'm not completely at ease."
"Then my medical skills, Mr. Mei, you don't know anything at all."
"Yes. So you may be worse than Dr. Lu. Mei Xianzhuo paused, and then said, "It may also be better than Dr. Lu." I'm willing to take a gamble and roll the dice to see the points. ”
"What if I lose the bet?"
"Even if Dr. Lu comes, I know his skills, and he doesn't have much chance of winning. What's more, a trip from the county seat to here should have arrived a long time ago. He didn't come because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to cure the puppy and would be difficult to explain to me. In fact, as long as he does his best, where will I embarrass him. ”
"I see. Mr. Mei, in the unlikely event that things go badly, please allow my family to leave peacefully. ”
"I promise you. What do you need to prepare? Mei Xianzhuo said as he beckoned seven or eight people, and the ones who walked in front were the executives and Sun Zhenggang, all of them looked like farmers and high-rollers, anyway, they didn't look like subordinates.
Liu Yao didn't care about this, and ordered straight to the executive's house: "Prepare two cauldrons, scrub them with tiles until the iron is exposed, and boil a large pot of water." Put a wooden spoon in one pot and boil together, the water will stop boiling for a while, and the other pot will keep boiling. Ten large bowls, all washed with alkaline water, rinsed with water, put in the second pot to boil. A small knife, with the wooden handle removed, and the whole body is polished. needle, some silk threads. A foot of string. The planks are so thick and so wide, six of them. A white cloth. Cook all of the above. Prepare another three catties of soju. Where is the kitchen? Please take me there. ”
The executive's family led Liu Yao through the second hall and came to a simple shed-like thing, saying that this was the kitchen, and that it was dark, damp and dirty, and messy. Although the courtyard is spacious and tall, the kitchen is a temporary illegal building in the corner of the courtyard. Originally, I planned to use the stove and tableware to arrange a disinfection room and a spare room in the kitchen, but the current situation was obviously not good, Liu Yao hesitated, looked up to see that the sky didn't look like it was going to rain, and said: "Everything is placed in the yard." Set up a stove in the courtyard and place two square tables next to the stove. He touched the table in the kitchen, raised his hand and twisted his fingers, and asked, "Is there a planer?" All the square tabletops have to be planed. ”
The executives answered one after another, and at the same time chose to do something different with one of the people in the group around them, and then asked, "Doctor, where are the chickens killed?" Do you use dogs? I didn't find the black one, but the other coat colors are okay? ”
Liu Yao pondered for a long time before he reacted, is this the way to do it? Forced to reply calmly: "...... The rule in my house is not to do it. Healers have their own way, which is different from mages. But you have to give me a quiet room, I'll be useful. "This room is for grinding guns. The executive's family led Liu Yao to a room next to the hall and found that it was unused, only a wooden bed without bedding and some sundries. Liu Yao didn't have the heart to figure out whether the real estate in this world was worthless, or the Mei family was too rich, so he hurriedly took out the information and looked at the structure of his legs. Fortunately, there are plenty of illustrations, and the structure of the legs is relatively simple, after a while, I feel that I have a bit of a score in my heart, put away the information, and open the door.
As soon as I went out, I saw the executive's family and Sun Zhenggang standing a step away from the door, with a thoughtful look on their faces, and they couldn't tell whether they were peeping or "protecting the law" outside the door. Liu Yao remembered that this matter could not be solved by himself, so he instructed the executive: "Please bring my wife and daughter, they are my helpers." Also, I need a deck chair...... Do you know about the recliner? The executive nodded, signaled to Sun Zhenggang, who had been following him, and asked him to move.
Sun Zhenggang quickly moved a recliner and stood in the middle of the courtyard with a chaise longone. As various things were being shipped in, the executive's family instructed everyone to start arranging. There was no need for Liu Yao to explain, he put the two cauldrons on the side of the courtyard wall away from the main house, the recliner under the eaves by the door of the main house, and then put down two square tables in the courtyard near the recliner. At last he picked up the whole white cloth and skillfully cut out a few small pieces of A3 paper and some bandage-like strips with a knife.
Liu Yao looked at this reasonable placement in surprise, just in time to see his wife and children coming to the courtyard with a calm expression, Liu Man was still chewing something in his mouth, and he felt relieved, and forgot for a moment why he wondered why the senior executives were so expert.
"The executive's family, tie Mei Gongzi's limbs to the recliner. It is necessary to tie not only the hands and feet, but also the shoulders, thighs and torso, and all the joints must be tied so that the limbs cannot move at all, but they must not be tied too tightly to obstruct the flow of blood. Liu Yao commanded while gesturing, picked up the soju and took a sip, frowned and asked, "This is soju?" The executive replied, "There is no soju in the country, only this kind of rice wine." Liu Yao hurriedly ordered: "Prepare two wine jars, and seal the mud of the wine jar in one barrel." Find a six-foot-long green bamboo, make it thinner, and tie the knot inside. And the largest tin flask. ”
Liu Yao asked people to pour all the soju into a wine jar, insert green bamboo into the mouth of the jar, cover the entire mouth of the jar with those small pieces of white cloth, and then seal it with mud. The other end of the green bamboo is inserted into the tin wine jug, which is also sealed with a white cloth and sealing mud. The body of the tin jug is crooked, and the spout hangs diagonally down on the mouth of the other jar. The place where the spout of the pot and the wine jar are combined is also covered with a white cloth, and there is no mud sealing. Under Liu Yao's command, the first jar was soaked in boiling water in the second pot. Someone kept bringing cold well water into the pot, so that the water in the pot was in a state close to boiling. The cold well water was also pouring over the tin jug, taking care not to splash the white cloth on the second jar. Liu Yao and Yao Ying prepared things together, discussing the details in the video they had just watched in a low voice, while glancing at the distillation equipment from time to time, until they heard the sound of the liquor dripping down and smelled the familiar smell of alcohol, they breathed a long sigh of relief and ordered the girl who followed Mrs. Mei to bring water to wash her hands. The girl moved quickly, and immediately brought a small wooden basin with about a liter of water in it. Liu Yao sighed and said to her, "If the water is not enough, you go ...... You don't think you can pick it up, you go and ask someone to pick up a bucket of water, besides, soap...... As for pancreas, alkali, the thing which can wash your hands, please bring them together. ”
The girl blinked, turned around and ran away, and immediately ran back with a bowl of dark gray crumbs: "Sir, this is alkali." There are no pancreas. Sun Zhenggang followed behind and walked into the courtyard with two large wooden barrels steadily.
