In the distance, Bai Baoxiang and other five people entered the "Doctor's Place" from the side gate, and the two families of Qian Shuiting and Wang Tiehammer searched for the ancient times in Banmei Society. The village is full of luxurious and exquisite deep houses, and Ai Beibei kept sighing while recording with a camera, "This is the antique Minnan dwelling." "A group of children followed them like monkeys.

The five people took a turn in the village, and sat down on the flagpole stone in front of the Shijia ancestral hall next door to the "Dafudi", and it didn't take long for the door of the "Dafudi" to open, and a middle-aged man wearing a robe and a horse coat sent Bai Baoxiang and Mao Baibai out, Gu Wusheng, Lei Nianping, and Wang Xie Tang followed behind like two people's entourage.

"A few gentlemen came to our house, and I wanted to wash the dust for you, and keep the gentlemen here for a few days, so that I could ask for advice sooner or later. The gentlemen were in a hurry to go into the city to do business, so they did not dare to force them to stay, and hoped that they would have another opportunity to ask you for more advice. As he spoke, the middle-aged man motioned to the butler behind him to hand over a burden. There are only two hundred taels of silver here, for the gentlemen to use as Panchuan, not a tribute, but also hope to smile. ”

"Second Master Shi is too polite." Bai Baoxiang arched his hand and shirked it a few times, and seeing that the middle-aged man's attitude was very resolute, he asked Wang Xie Tang behind him to take the burden.

"Thank you for the kindness of Second Master Shi, so be it, I'll send Second Master a word." Saying that, Bai Baoxiang took a small five-star red flag from Gu Wusheng, he stuffed the red flag into the hands of Shi Er, and said, "Five-star out of the East is good for China." After saying that, he walked away.

Wang Tiehammer was far away from this scene, "Dizzy, this Bai Baoxiang confiscated the flag prepared by Gu Wusheng specifically to provoke the Taiwanese, this Gu Wusheng won't be hairy!" ”

"Five-star out of the East is good for China?" The middle-aged man thought for a moment, and the two groups of them walked out of the village one after the other, before turning around and going back to the house to close the door.

The housekeeper came over, "Second master, these overseas people who are chattering with gods, there is no need to be too polite to them, isn't it too much to give them 200 taels of silver as Sichuan capital." ”

"What do you know, 'Five Stars Out of the East is good for China' from the "Historical Records of the Heavenly Palace" 'Five stars are divided into the sky, accumulated in the East, and China is beneficial; Accumulating in the West, foreign users (soldiers) benefit. The five stars are gathered in one house from the stars, and the country they give up can be lawed to the world. Second Master Shi held the five-star red flag in his hand, "Before they left, they took out this small flag and said such things, don't have any other meaning." ”

Second Master Shi carefully put the five-star red flag in his arms, "It's the autumn of troubled times, and the news from the five communications has just come that there are a few powerful mages here, and I didn't expect them to go to Banmei to visit our Shi family." My father settled in Taiwan, and I was the only one left behind in my hometown, so we had to be careful in everything. 200 taels of silver is not much, but it is not too much, even if it is to spend money to avoid disasters. ”

The two groups of people met at the post road outside the village, which was very lively, with people carrying luggage and horse-drawn carts carrying goods coming and going.

Abebe choked on the dust, and she quickly covered her mouth and nose, "We seem to have arrived at the bustling main road of this plane. ”

Bai Baoxiang said with a smile: "During the Qing Dynasty, this was the only official road connecting with the mainland; Daoguang was also the only official way to go to Taiwan before. In ancient times, there was a shop every ten miles on the official road, about 30 miles to the south from here, after Jiaotangpu, Lianbanpu, it was to the Hefengpu outside the city of Xiamen, and Fengpu was the last post station to go to Taiwan, it should be very prosperous. ”

Gu Wusheng kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, with a displeased face. He held back for a long time, and suddenly said, "Lao Bai flickered for a long time, and he got 200 taels, this is too much of a waste of time!" ”

"This is not a novel, it is often tens of thousands of taels of silver, 200 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it also adds up to tens of thousands of yuan. Fooling them is not to make a fortune, we need silver to go to Xiamen. Bai Baoxiang said, took out his mobile phone and took out the time, "It's already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, let's leave for Xiamen now, otherwise we won't have time to have dinner." ”

Ten people took a carriage along the way, and finally arrived at the Hefeng Palace outside Xiamen in the evening. Hefeng Palace sits in the east and faces west, enshrines Wu Zhenren and Mazu, and the water of the Lujiang River goes directly to the front of the palace. After getting out of the car, everyone looked around while dusting off their bodies. The streets in front of the palace and around the Hefeng Palace are collectively referred to as Hefeng Street, although the streets and alleys are less than two meters wide, twisting and turning, there seem to be some traces of smoke and fire, which may be left by the fierce battle between the knife and the Qing soldiers, but the shops on the whole street are lined up all the way, opening hotels, opening teahouses, opening big smoke houses, and guild halls from all over the country, and the streets are crowded. All kinds of sedan chairs and Western-style carriages with canopies come and go on the streets, and most of the people on the streets are men with long braids, some wearing silk long shirts, some dressed in coarse cloth short clothes, and occasionally a few golden-haired and blue-eyed foreigners. In addition to the hustle and bustle of people, cars and horses, there were also bursts of Nanyin silk and bamboo sounds coming from nowhere in the air.

The crowd stopped a Western-style carriage, and Qian Shuiting, speaking fluent American language, asked a man who looked like an English gentleman sitting in the carriage about the location of the British Concession.

The Englishman looked at the crowd carefully, pointed in the direction, and went straight in the carriage.

"The British Concession is on the edge of the Lujiang River, not far from here." Old Qian turned to everyone and said.

"What is a foreign devil angry?" Gu Wusheng said angrily, "We should find a place to have dinner first." ”

Bai Baoxiang nodded, "Okay, let's find a clean place to eat first, and then go to the British Concession to solve the accommodation problem." ”

Everyone agreed.

After a hasty dinner, everyone came out of the inn. Next to the inn is a smoke house, and there are many people lying next to each other on the big plank bed inside, with people coming in and out, singing and singing, and fireworks around, everyone sped up their pace.

When everyone came to the river, there were many European and American merchant ships gathered on the Lujiang River, including British, American, French, German, and other countries' merchant ships, and there were many small sampans passing through the sailboats. When someone couldn't help but take out the camera equipment, Mao Baibai's eyes suddenly widened, "This is the danger zone, everyone be careful!" ”

Xiamen's British Concession was set up in the port area along the Lujiang River in Xiamen, and the road was lined with tall banyan trees on both sides, and the buildings here could only be regarded as small and exquisite compared to the stone arches and oceanic buildings of Shanghai.

Everyone was enjoying the riverside scenery with great interest, and there was a commotion in front of them. Looking at a small western-style building from afar, a group of people gathered. This garden house with a front eaves and a long corridor has a tall cross erected at the door, and a pan painted with a snake staff and a medicine gourd.

Gu Wusheng couldn't help but take a sip, "MD, these foreign devils are also smart, combining missionary and medical treatment, confusing people's hearts!" ”

As soon as everyone walked over, a group of fishermen in oily shirts and trousers, barefoot, and fishy smells were stopped outside by the clinic's servants, and the patients they had just sent were lying on the clinic's treatment beds. Listening to their chatter, it seems that the foreign doctor in the clinic said that the patient is not in good condition and wants to amputate him, but he also said that amputation may not be able to save his life, so these fishermen are a little excited, and a young fisherman knelt on the ground and cried: "Brother Guo is all here to save me, all to save me!" ”

Seeing this scene, Fan Hua hurriedly squeezed forward, and Wang Tiehammer followed closely to protect him. "Wait a minute, I'm a doctor too." Wang Xie Tang also chased after him.

"A broken dentist!" Everyone laughed and followed.

Two servants stopped at the door of the clinic, and Fan Hua hurriedly said, "Let me in, I'm a doctor." ”

Dr. Hisrop was urging his assistant to scrub the patient's left leg, and when he saw the noise at the door, he raised his head and looked at Fan Hua and them blankly. Dr. Hisrop has been working in Xiamen for a long time, and although he can communicate with people in Hokkien, the official dialect in the north is much worse.

Fan Hua hurriedly said again in English, "Let me in, I'm a doctor." ”

The patient was blue and completely unconscious, his left calf was very swollen, and there was a black ecchymosis on his stomach.

"It's been two days since it was harmed by a poisonous creature in the sea." Fan Hua examined the wound and asked Dr. Hisrop in English, "Doctor Hislop, do you have any medicine in your clinic to treat sea anemone and sea urchin stings and sea snake bites?" ”

Heathrop shrugged, "I'm sorry, we've never been exposed to these drugs. ”

"Then let me do it, we have treated such patients before." Fan Hua said to Heathrop very firmly.

Heathrop looked at Fan Hua very skeptically, "Beautiful lady, you are really a doctor, have you really treated such a patient?" ”

But the customs clearance paperwork left by Sun Xuanwu completely dispelled Hislop's suspicions, and Fan Hua's identification clearly stated that she was a legitimate U.S. registered doctor.

"But the trauma is dangerous, and it's been delayed for too long. I tried to save his leg first. If that doesn't work, then amputate your leg to save your life. ”

Outside the house, Qian Shuiting whispered a translation for everyone. At this time, Wang Tiehammer walked out, "Old money, Mao Baibai, and you, everyone is often engaged in outdoor sports, what medicine did you bring with you this time, do you have snake medicine?" ”

Everyone opened the bottles and cans in the bag, and found ten tubes of Ji Desheng snake medicine, and Qian Shuiting was very careful to completely remove those trademark certification marks.

When Wang Tiehammer was about to return to the clinic with the medicine, the young fisherman fell to his knees with a plop in front of him, "Sir, you must save Brother Guo!" If Brother Guo is saved, I, Ni Ashui, am willing to make you a cow and a horse, and a slave and a servant. The crowd hurriedly lifted him up.

Walking back to the clinic, Wang Tiehammer arrived at Fan Hua who had already taken out a large glass fire pot from his backpack, two metal aluminum boxes, one aluminum box was full of tweezers, surgical scissors, hemostats and other surgical instruments, and the other was an alcohol cotton ball.

Although he knew that Fan Hua was a doctor, Heathrop was still very skeptical of her medical skills, and when Fan Hua opened the aluminum box and filled the metal box with exquisite instruments that he had never touched, Heathrop's eyes straightened, "Oh, Lord, you sent me an angel." He now believes that Fan Hua is a highly skilled doctor.

Fan Hua took out a scalpel from the aluminum box, wiped it with an alcohol cotton ball, and then motioned to Wang Xie Tang to disinfect the patient's wound.

On the purple-black wound, one horizontal and one vertical, Fan Hua used a scalpel to make a deep cross-shaped wound. Purple-black blood gushed out at once, and a fishy smell suddenly filled the air.

"Wang Xie Tang, you have to find a way to pour twenty pieces of snake medicine into the patient." Saying that, Fan Hua put down the scalpel in his hand, wiped his hands, took out a hemostat, and used it to pick up a cotton ball. Fan Hua held a glass jar in one hand and hemostats in the other, and his eyes were aimed at the kerosene lamp on the side. After lighting the cotton ball on the oil lamp, Fan Hua quickly wiped the lighted cotton ball on the inner wall of the glass jar, and the mouth of the glass jar immediately covered all the wounds on the patient's left leg.

"It's been two days since the poison was injured, is it still useful to pull out the poison now?" Wang Tiezhu asked Fan Hua in a low voice.

"Do your best!" Fan Hua said while continuing to observe the patient's wound, "As long as the venom can be pulled out, it is good for alleviating the condition." Maybe some poisonous needles and fangs are still in the flesh, and if you don't pull them out, the situation will be even more serious. ”

The skin and muscles of the patient's wound were sucked up by the glass fire cup, and more than half of the black blood had flowed out. Fan Hua pulled up the fire cupping and sucked it again, this time the black blood flowed out was much less, and the swelling of the entire left leg was also eliminated a lot.

Fan Hua breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and Wang Xie Tang's work over there also made some progress. At first, Wang Xie Tang had snake medicine in his hand, and he had nothing to do with the unconscious patient. Wang Tiezhu stood aside and came up with an idea, "Use a bamboo tube to pry open your teeth and pour medicine." ”

The paste mixed with snake medicine and white wine slowly flowed into the patient's mouth through the bamboo tube, and when the patient made a few swallowing movements, everyone's nervous hearts were suddenly relieved.

"Darker skin tone, shorter lower body and curved legs." Bai Baoxiang had been studying the group of fishermen in front of him from the beginning, and their expressions were a little relaxed, so they leaned over, "Are you all Tan people?" How many people have crossed around their necks, you are religious! ”

The fishermen exchanged each other, and many opened their mouths but did not speak. Seeing that no one spoke, Ni Ashui stood up indignantly just now, "Yes, we are the Tan people, and the people on the shore laugh at us for being crooked hooves and look down on us." Only by believing in God will they not dare to bully us Tan people. ”

The Tan people were people who lived on the water in the middle and lower reaches of the Min River in Fujian Province and the coastal area of Fuzhou in ancient times, and they spent their lives adrift on the water and took boats as their home. Because of their long life on boats, the Tanmin people have darker complexions, shorter lower bodies and curved legs, i.e., looped legs, so the Fujianese often dejoratively refer to them as "crooked hooves".

"Mountains and waters, you are the descendants of Baiyue, to look down on you is to look down on this land, to look down on the gods of this mountain and water!" Bai Baoxiang shook his head again and again, "If you believe in foreign religions just to not be bullied, change your court, betray your ancestors, and betray the gods of this land, it's hard to say whether it's right or wrong!" ”

Bai Baoxiang spoke very slowly, and the Tan people were silent, and they did not speak again.

After a pause, Fan Hua pulled up the fire cup and carefully scrubbed the patient's wound with an alcohol cotton ball. Then he took out a long moxa roll from his backpack, lit it, and slowly roasted the patient's wound, and soon the smell of barbecue spread out, and the original fishy smell was urged to disappear. Finally, Fan Hua applied the snake medicine paste thickly to the patient's wound, and then bandaged the wound with a cloth roll.

"Are you alright?" "Did you save it?" "When will I wake up?" "The fishermen kept yelling.

Fan Hua felt a little rosy on the patient's face, felt his pulse, and listened to his breathing, "Now the patient's condition is relatively stable, and the patient's life is not in danger for the time being." Hearing this, everyone immediately burst into cheers.

Hislop happily held out his hand, "Beautiful lady, you are truly an angel. It is a great honor for you to visit my clinic. Your medical skills have been an eye-opener for me. ”

"I'm sorry, my hands are dirty, I need to wash my hands now." Fan Hua's expression was very flat, "I have only treated such patients. However, he is not completely out of danger and must continue to take medication. ”

Fan Hua washed his hands while motioning to Wang Xie Tang to leave all the Ji Desheng snake medicine, "This medicine is specifically for the treatment of bites and stabbing wounds of poisonous creatures, and you must take 20 pills every two hours. ”

When Fan Hua cleaned everything up, Wang Tiehammer stretched out his hand to Heatrop to say goodbye, "Doctor Heathrop, it's getting late, we still have to find a place to stay." ”

"You don't have a place to live yet?"

"Yes, we just arrived in Xiamen in the evening." Wang Tiehammer pointed at the ten people inside and outside the house.

"Then stay with me, I have several rooms in this church clinic."

In the living room, Heathrop entertained everyone to drink tea, and at the same time discussed with Fan Hua with great interest the experience of treating poisonous injuries.

"Oh, dear Dr. Hislop, thank you for the good tea, but I'm very tired, and I wish I could rest sooner." Fan Hua attributed everything to the ancient and mysterious pharmacology, and took the excuse to rest. The crowd also stood up.

"Oh, I'm sorry, beautiful angel. This is my slackness. Dr. Hislop hurriedly apologized, "But, while you are resting, can you leave that delicate set of medical equipment behind for me to enjoy and study for an evening?" ”

Will there be a problem with the instrument that leaves this aluminum box? Fan Hua wasn't sure, she was a little hesitant, but when she saw Bai Baoxiang nodding to her secretly, she said, "Of course, it's no problem at all." ”
