Chapter 244: Digging Ice to Open the Way

Her left arm was injured, although it did not hurt her muscles and bones, but she was unable to move, and it was very difficult to hold a shovel in one hand. Zuo Gui was drinking tea, seeing that she was busy shoveling snow, she was ready to go out to help, it happened that at this time there were a few patients to see a doctor, helping the old and the young, all of them were fleeing into the city, a heavy snowfall the night before, last night melted, the temperature dropped very much, these victims slept on the streets, many of them were sick.

The first day, Zuo Shaoyang marched all over the city under the escort of the official army, and many people knew that there was a pharmacy called Guizhitang, and when they inquired, they knew that this Guizhitang was very cheap to treat, and the medical skills were excellent, so they came to see the doctor early in the morning.

Zuo Gui was busy treating patients, so he didn't care about helping Bai Zhihan shovel snow.

Most of the snow on the ground was frozen, and she didn't have much strength, and it was even more difficult for her to be single-handed, and the door of the ward was closed, and the patients and accompanying family members inside did not know that she was shoveling snow outside. Li Dazhuang was concentrating on carving the plaque behind closed doors in the vacated ward, and he didn't know about it, so no one came to help her.

Bai Zhihan couldn't shovel snow with one hand, so he went back and got a small hoe and a basket, squatted on the ground and picked up the snow with one hand, and then picked up the ice with his hands and threw it into the basket.

She is only going to get rid of the ice and snow in front of the door, not much to think about, but she has one hand, and her strength is small, and it is very laborious to dig after the snow freezes, and she is worried that the sound will affect Zuo Shaoyang's rest, so she often digs a crack in the ice and does not dare to dig it, pry it with a hoe, or simply break it with one hand, her hands are frozen red, and she warms up in front of her mouth. She had only removed a small piece of it, and she was already panting and sweating profusely, so she took off her coat and continued digging into the snow.

Seeing that she was digging up ice and snow so hard to open the way with an injured arm, the neighbors who were afraid of the officers and soldiers also came out with tools to remove the snow, and soon opened a road for pedestrians to walk in the ice and snow of the street.

The neighbors didn't know that Zuo Shaoyang couldn't be noisy when he was sleeping, and the sound was very loud when he made a hoe with a shovel. Zuo Shaoyang in the house slept in a daze, heard this sound in his sleep, and woke up, he heard that it seemed to be shoveling snow, his foot was injured, now let alone picking a shovel, he was dizzy after standing for a long time, and he couldn't help when he went, so he continued to sleep with his head covered.

After sleeping for a while, the sound continued, where to sleep, Suo got up, put on his coat, and came out on crutches.

There are several patients waiting to see a doctor in the lobby, and Daddy Zuogui is sitting behind a long number of cases to see a doctor. But there was no Bai Zhihan in the house. Looking up at the street outside the door, I saw that many people were in full swing shoveling ice and snow. I walked over, and saw Bai Zhihan squatting on the side of the street, with the green silk wrapped in a white handkerchief on his head, which was already a little scattered, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he was only wearing a tight shirt of kudzu linen, and the jacket was taken off, and he was placed on a low stool by the door of the lobby, with his sleeves half drawn, and his white and greasy arms were holding a sharp-mouthed medicine hoe and were digging hard to dig up the ice and snow, and his little hands were already red from the cold.

Zuo Shaoyang shouted: "Hey! Zhi'er! You've got wounds, don't dig them, come back! ”

Bai Zhihan turned his head to look at him, smiled faintly, looked at the neighbors who were digging ice and snow around him, and shook his head to continue digging.

Zuo Shaoyang said coldly: "You don't listen to Young Master Ben's greeting, do you?" ”

Bai Zhihan hurriedly stopped, supported his knees with his hands and slowly stood up, glanced at the almost dug path and the neighbors who were busy digging ice and snow, picked up the half frame of ice in front of him, walked to the roadside depression and fell, and then slowly walked back with a basket and hoe.

Zuo Shaoyang stretched out his hand to pick up the things in her hand, Bai Zhihan shook his head, took it into the pharmacy and put it away, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Put on the jacket, beware of ......"

As he was talking, Bai Zhihan sneezed. Hurriedly picked up the jacket and was about to put it on, but there were two sneezes in a row, and the snot flowed, and even tears came down. Holding his arms, he shivered, feeling that his snot was about to flow down, and he hurriedly grabbed his jacket and ran to the concoction room.

"Wait!" Zuo Shaoyang shouted, grabbed her hand, lifted his wrist to check the pulse, looked at her tongue again, and nodded: "Go!" ”

Bai Zhihan hurriedly ran into the house with his clothes in his arms.

Zuo Shaoyang walked slowly to the back of the medicine cabinet on crutches, picked out a pair of medicines, and took them into the kitchen.

Soon, the smell of medicine wafted from the kitchen.

Bai Zhihan's underwear was soaked with sweat, blown by the cold wind, coldly attached to the back of the back, the whole body was trembling, entered the concoction room, sneezed a few more, hurriedly turned around and bolted to the door, took out the change of underwear from the clothes package, hid in the corner of the house, hurriedly changed the sweat-soaked clothes, and then put on a Hufu jacket and narrow-mouthed cotton pants.

Bai Zhihan took back the sewing basket and small bench from the door, returned to the concoction room, sat down and began to do needlework.

As soon as I sat down, I sneezed several times in a row, my nose was cleared, my body was shivering with cold, and I hurriedly took a jacket and put it on, but I was still shivering with cold.

At this time, hearing the aggressive sound of crutches hitting the ground, Bai Zhihan looked up, and saw Zuo Shaoyang walking in from outside the door with a bowl of steaming decoction, and came to her all the time, put the bowl of medicine on the stove, and said lightly: "Wait until it's a little cold to drink, and then go to bed and sweat with the quilt." ”

After that, he didn't look at her, and went out aggressively with a cane, and closed the door with his hand.

"Thank you!" Bai Zhihan looked at his back and said. Put down the needlework in your hand, take the bowl of soup, put it on your knees, hold it gently with both hands, and warm your hands by the heat of the soup bowl. Looking at the soup in the bowl was distracted.

The weather was cold, and the decoction was warm after a while, Bai Zhihan drank the decoction in one go, smacked his lips, frowned, and was a little bitter.

She found another set of underwear clothes to change after sweating, climbed the ladder, put the clothes on the bedside, took off the jacket and cotton pants, put on only the middle coat, got into the quilt, curled up like a frightened little one.

At first, I was shivering with cold, but after a while, a heat in my stomach slowly spread to the limbs and bones of my body, and then, my forehead and palms were slightly sweaty. His muddy eyes gradually brightened.

In the lobby outside, Zuo Shaoyang sat behind the medicine cabinet and watched his father diagnose the disease, and then helped pick up the medicine. Several external patients who came, Dad Zuo Gui, handled them very well. also quoted some prescriptions from his new book written to him, it seems that during this time, Dad Zuogui has not been idle, and this medical skill has still made some progress.

I just saw these external patients, and a few more came, but it was the last time those patients with burns and fractures came for follow-up.

Zuo Gui's father checked the healing of the patient's injuries and found that they were all very good, especially several burn patients, he had also treated burns before, compared with the previous ones, it was simply two heavens. couldn't help but stroke his beard and smiled at Zuo Shaoyang: "Zhong'er, burns really need to be soaked in cold water, the effects of these burns you treated last time are obvious." It seems that the old bell doctor who taught you medical skills is really a master of the world. I'm going to have to study your book further. ”

Zuo Shaoyang also smiled, and was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Is Zuo Langzhong at home?" The old decay is coming, and the good news is coming! ”

Zuo Gui's father and Zuo Shaoyang looked up, but it was Liu Huochang, the leader of the official army.

Zuo Gui hurriedly got up and laughed and arched his hand: "Lord Liu is here!" ”

"What an adult, I'm just a little fire chief, and I'm also a Langzhong, let's also count as peers, it's okay to call me Liu Langzhong, or, in terms of age, I'm afraid I'm a few years older than you, just call me brother."

"Don't dare!" Zuo Gui hurriedly bowed and said, "What did Liu Langzhong say about the good news just now?" ”

"Naturally, it's a great event." Liu Huochang sat down on the squeaky chair, "The matter of the bandage in your pharmacy, the old decay reported it, and it didn't attract attention at first, I was in a hurry, and I specially found the general's personal guard Fu Team to say, as soon as he heard that it was made by your pharmacy, and the effect was very good, he immediately went in to report to the general, and the general immediately passed me on to Jinjian." I explained in detail the benefits of this bandage, and the effect of the wounded after using it, the general has been in a hundred battles, and naturally knows that if it is really as effective as I said, it is indeed a good thing, and it can save the lives of countless wounded, so I took it to the field medical hall to check the injuries of the wounded soldiers who used your bandages. After checking, sure enough, the general was very happy, and said that this formula must be the treasure of your Guizhitang, so don't be forced to buy it, just order bandages directly with you, and let me be responsible for purchasing, if the price is right, order 10,000 rolls first! Hehehe, you calculate, how much can you earn? ”

Zuo Shaoyang and Daddy Zuo Gui were all pleasantly surprised, this is really a big deal. Zuo Shaoyang said: "This, how do you think the price is appropriate?" ”

"Of course you said the price. The general said that as long as the price is right, he will continue to order in the future. As long as there is a battle, this kind of thing is indispensable to use. At present, in addition to quelling Feng Li's rebellion, we also have to fight the Turks in the north, which is a protracted war, and the use of bandages is absolutely indispensable. So, when this business is done, your family will sit and enjoy the blessings! Hey, hey, hey."

Zuo Gui stroked his beard and smiled: "This is all thanks to you, if you hadn't recommended it to the general again and again, the general wouldn't have paid attention to it, thank you so much." ”

"I don't need to thank you much, hehe, what you said is the truth, alas, this is also called no way, who called the old man in charge of the army, it is all for the lives and safety of the officers and soldiers, and they can be better protected, why not, hehe." To tell the truth, for this matter, the old man really broke his leg and wore out his mouth, and he didn't say a lot of good things, and the old man also promised to help you and Fu Team, saying that you are all sensible, and this deal is done, and his benefits are indispensable. Hey hey"
