Liang and Zuo Gui were watching anxiously from the side, and there was no way, so Liang pulled Zuo Gui's sleeve. Zuo Gui stroked his beard and said: "White girl, Zhong'er is really too busy here, these must be dealt with by him, the old lady will go and take a look, if there is anything wrong, come back and discuss it with Zhong'er." How is it? ”

Bai Zhihan said in a low voice: "I'm tired." ”

Zuo Gui followed Bai Zhihan for a follow-up. Zuo Shaoyang didn't look back, and continued to be busy, fortunately, the burns of these people were not too serious, so they were subjected to cold compresses, debridement, plasters, bandages, and prescribed drugs to eliminate qi and stasis, clear heat and cool blood, and go back to decoction.

Due to the large number of people, by the time the busy work was over, it was already nighttime. Two people with burns suffered compound fractures, and after discussing with their families, it was decided to stay for observation and treatment. There was no bed, so they could only make bedding on the floor, and the two people's families also sent bedding and straw.

Zuo Gui came back with Aunt Long after the follow-up consultation, saying that the old lady Qu's condition had further improved, and after saying the results of the fourth diagnosis, Zuo Shaoyang dialectically adjusted the medication according to the evidence, and prescribed a new prescription, and picked up the medicine for Aunt Long to take back to the old lady to decoction.

Early the next morning, the team sent a few wounded soldiers with a black face, all of whom were from his team, most of them were arrow wounds and gold wounds, as well as broken bones. Some of these soldiers have been treated by the team doctor, but the soldiers are in severe pain, and some of them have a fever, Fan Hei is very dissatisfied, and he sent Zuo Shaoyang to deal with it again.

After Zuo Shaoyang's examination, he found that the wound was not well treated, and some of them were already infected, so he re-performed debridement and suturing, and prescribed medicine.

Three of the wounded soldiers were seriously injured and were also left for further treatment. In this way, the number of new patients left for observation in Guizhitang reached six, and the already not very spacious lobby was packed. There is no bed, so I can only make a bunk on the floor. Fan Heimian asked someone to send a few bedding and straw over.

After finishing the matter of the wounded soldiers, Fan Hei said with a little embarrassment to Zuo Shaoyang and Miao Peilan: "I'm really sorry, I went to say it, but the head of the department said that he only recognized his ears and didn't recognize people, not to mention that it was my small team that was testifying, even if the regiment was testifying, it was useless." Unless there is a general's order. Hehe, it's really pedantic, no way, but sister, don't be discouraged, you are a good martial artist, and now it's a war, don't worry about no war achievements, just remember, next time you must remember to cut off your ears to testify, a pair of ears! ”

Miao Peilan blushed and shook her head, hiding behind Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "Pei Lan killed the enemy to protect herself, she was afraid that she would not be willing to cut off the enemy's ears to ask for credit." ”

"Fool, that's a complete fool! If you don't cut it, let the family cut it, won't it be cheap for nothing those ghosts who are afraid of death? - Xiao Langzhong, you have to convince her that you must cut off your ears to kill the enemy, this is the reward you deserve, a pair of ears are always money! Quite a few! If it doesn't work, you can cut it for him! ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said: "Okay, the team is resting, I won't let her fight to kill the enemy without any benefit." ”

"That's right! - And this ......, well, the matter of the white girl, I think that the white girl is the daughter of the Liupin Beijing official, and she can go into battle to treat the wounded, which is really commendable, and should be commended, but after reporting it, the top said that the wounded should be treated, and many people are doing it, nothing, not commended, I am really angry......

Zuo Shaoyang said lightly: "It's nothing, there is no need to commend it." ”

"This ......, alas, I am embarrassed to have a black face, and you better not tell the white girl, hehe, - I will leave these brothers to you. I'm leaving! After that, Fan Hei ran away with his own soldiers.

On this day, a few more people with burns learned that he had a good effect on the treatment of burns here, and the price was cheap, so they also sought medical treatment. After having the previous experience, Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui are already a little proficient in handling, but there are more people, and some burns have compound fractures, so they have been busy until late to deal with them.

Three more patients were added who needed to be kept for observation and treatment. The lobby of Guizhi Hall is no longer able to live.

In the past two days, there were a lot of patients, and the consultation fee earned more than 100 yuan, which made Zuo Gui's father very excited, although he was very tired, but he felt that it was worth it, seeing that the wounded and sick could not stay, Zuo Gui and Zuo Shaoyang discussed, and decided to go to Zhao Sanniang, and rent the empty shop next door that originally opened an oil and salt shop, as a ward for the wounded and sick to stay and observe. This task was given to the Liang family. asked Zhao Sanniang if she could rent only by day, because it is estimated that as soon as the enemy retreats, the number of people with such acute and serious illnesses should be greatly reduced, and there are very few people who need to stay for treatment, so there is no need to rent such a large house.

After Liang went, he quickly came back and said that Zhao Sanniang had agreed to rent the empty grocery store next door to Guizhitang, on a daily basis, and heard that it was for the wounded officers and soldiers to be left for treatment, and offered to reduce the rent by half.

At the end, Liang pulled Zuo Gui and Zuo Shaoyang aside, and said in a low voice: "Sanniang's family has run out of food, and she didn't expect the food to soar, and she didn't have to sell it, so there is not much food in the house, her in-laws are still there, there are two children, and there are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in her husband's family." If there is no food, how can I live, and when I go, the whole family is crying. Speaking of this, Liang looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Or, let's sell some food to them, right?" ”

Zuo Gui pondered for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that she has helped us a lot, although she forced the debt a little hard last time, but she was also helpless, and it is understandable, now that their family is in trouble, if you can help a little, you can help a little." However, all this food was earned by Zhong'er, so it was up to him to decide. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "How many people are in Zhao Sanniang's family?" ”

Liang counted: "There are almost twenty people, but she and her children do not live with their in-laws. ”

"Is it that she and her two children are short of food, or is the whole in-laws' family short of food?"

"She and her in-laws' family are short of food."

"That can't be sold."

Liang was disappointed and hurriedly said, "Why? Zhong'er, she helped us at the beginning, your sister got married and didn't have the money to buy a dowry, so she borrowed it from her, she took out five yuan without saying a word, and our pharmacy business was not good, so she let it go again and again. Later, there was really no way, and her family had to live. Last time, she followed those creditors to force debts, and refused to let other creditors pay off first, thinking about it, it means to force people to a dead end, but I know that Sanniang is such a person, she has to be used to it, and she can't allow others to overshadow her. We can't hold a grudge because of that. Be kind. ”

Zuo Gui also said: "Yes, Zhong'er, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, Sanniang has helped us a lot...... "Dad!" Mother! I know all this, and I am not afraid to sell food to her family because I am not jealous of her. ”

"Why is that?" The two elders looked at him together.

"According to my speculation, I am afraid that this war will not be over in two or three months, and according to the shortest two months, each of the 20 members of their family will need two buckets of rice per month, and 80 buckets of rice in two months. Nearly half of our food is sold to them, what will we do in the future? ”

Liang said: "Sell less, and it's okay to save the emergency." ”

"That's not going to work either."

"Why?"

"Our family used to be so poor, we couldn't pay off our debts, and the price of rice was so expensive, where did our family get the money to buy rice? How to explain it? This is still secondly, once our family takes out rice and sells it to them, there are so many families in them, there are many people, and it is spread that our family has food, which is not a good thing. ”

Liang said: "Our own rice, which is bought by the honest seller, what are we worried about?" ”

"Mother! It's not as simple as you think! As I have said, this war may last for two or three months, and the army's grain and grass have been burned by the rebels, and before the officers and soldiers have entered the city, they have sent people to seal all the rice shops in the city, and ordered the requisition of all the rice rows. The grain reserves of the yamen had also been requisitioned long ago. We are already short of food in Hezhou, and it is estimated that this grain will not last long for the army. Eat up the military rations, if the second elder is a leading general, what will you do? ”

Speaking of this, Zuo Shaoyang stopped and looked at the second elder.

The two elders glanced at each other, and Zuo Gui said, "Ask the people in the city to buy it." That's all there is to it. ”

"That's right! This is an inevitable result. I have heard that the army went into the city to requisition grain from the rice store, and it was bought at the rate of two hundred wen per bucket. The price is too low, so once the army knows that we have a lot of food, they will inevitably come to the door and take all the food away, and we will have no place to cry! ”

Liang was dumbfounded, if he helped, he would be burned, and no one would help.

Zuo Gui stroked his beard and nodded frequently: "Zhong'er is right, the fact that our family has food must not be leaked out, even if it is only this possibility!" You have to take care of your own family's safety first. ”

Liang had no choice but to nod gloomily in agreement.

Liang had already taken the key to the grocery store next door from Zhao Sanniang, and the house had been rented, so he opened the door and let the wounded and sick move over.

The bedding for the wounded and sick was brought by officers and soldiers or brought by the families of the common people and the sick themselves. All patients were transferred to the next room. Anyway, it's a temporary surname, and if you can spend less money, you can spend less money, so you still have a floor. Miao's mother took the initiative to take care of the cleaning and basic care of the ward. Miao Peilan gave Zuo Shaoyang and Zuo Gui a hand. The eldest son takes care of his three younger siblings. With the help of their mother and daughter, it was much easier.

The food for the wounded soldiers was sent by Fan Heimian to send his own soldiers, while the people who stayed for the clinic could only let them bring their own food. These people can understand that their families or relatives also have some food in stock, so they cook their own food and bring it to them. However, it is almost always porridge with wild vegetables. And, judging by their whispered expressions, there was not enough food to eat for a few days.

In the past two days, the rebels have not made any further moves. Hou Pu and Fennel came to visit and told some inside information, saying that on the day when the rebels attacked Hezhou and there were fires everywhere in the city, many large families were also burned by the latent enemy army, and the grain was burned out, and many rich families were crying like something. At this moment, there is even more shortage of food in the city, and many families have run out of food. However, the Tang army has not stood still and has no intention of breaking through. I don't know how to plan it.
