Autumn Tiger, the sky at five o'clock in the afternoon in September is still very bright.

In a small Chinese medicine clinic, Li Qin turned off the computer, and when it was time to get off work, he was going on a blind date tonight.

It has been several years since he graduated from college, and Li Qin has changed from a high-spirited young man to a preparatory uncle who is about to run for three.

Ding Dong, the mobile phone in his pocket made a text message prompt sound, Li Qin took out his mobile phone and checked the text message that had just arrived, it was a text message from the introducer, reminding him not to be late for the blind date.

Li Qin put the phone back in his pocket, tonight's blind date is a female master, who is studying for a doctorate, and the conditions are good in all aspects, the introducer arranges for them to drink coffee, if they feel it, the two will develop, if they don't feel it, drink coffee and go back to their respective homes.

He stood up and was about to take off his white coat, but he saw two people walking in outside the clinic, one old and one young, the old one was in his fifties, the younger one was a girl, handsome, with a few small pimples on his forehead, at most twenty-four or five years old.

Li Qin only glanced at it, and knew that it was the old man who saw the doctor, and the girl was accompanying him. The old man had a haggard face, gray hair, and looked very weak. Li Qin sat back in the chair, took the medical records handed over by the girl, and said please take a seat.

The old man sat down, the girl stood beside him, and both of them looked at Li Qin, almost looking at the whole body, and Li Qin was a little uncomfortable.

Li Qin opened the medical record and saw that there were no words on the page, so he knew that they were the first to come back. Putting down the medical records, he turned the computer on again, and while waiting for it to be turned on, he asked the old man, "Where is it uncomfortable?" ”

The old man said: "Back pain, I have seen it in a big hospital, this is a test sheet." As he spoke, he pulled out two test sheets from his jacket pocket.

Li Qin knew in his heart that this was after doing a laboratory test in a big hospital, but he found that the medicine was too expensive, so he came to his small clinic to try his luck and see if it could be cheaper. Nowadays, there are many such cases, and even if you see the same disease, the cost may vary greatly from one hospital to another.

For example, the most common cold, if you just buy your own medicine to eat, a few dollars or a dozen dollars, it is possible to get it; If you go to the hospital, the dozens of dollars or a hundred or dozens of dollars to buy medicine are cures; Infusion and hospitalization for observation, hundreds or even thousands of dollars, are also treated. The same is the same treatment, but the difference in the cost of medicine is very large.

Li Qin looked at the test sheets, and the two test sheets were issued by two major hospitals, but the results were the same. The old man was not suffering from a serious illness, let alone difficult to treat, and apparently the old man himself knew this, so he couldn't accept the expensive medical expenses and ran to himself.

The old man said: "It's not a big problem, but the current medicine is too expensive, and I feel a little distressed." ”

The old man imitated the "doctor", pretending to hold a pen to write with one hand, but covering the other hand with handwriting, and said: "When I go to other hospitals, the doctor always prescribes prescriptions like this, first prescribe medicine for two weeks to see the curative effect, and say that if it doesn't work, then change the medicine, and then I have to spend hundreds of yuan." ”

The girl on the side whispered: "After waiting for two weeks, if there is no curative effect, change the dressing, and if there is a curative effect, say that you want to consolidate it, and prescribe another two weeks of medicine; After another two weeks, he said that he would consolidate and prescribe another course of treatment; In two weeks, it was said that if you want to go to the roots, you have to take another course of treatment. ”

The old man patted his waist and said, "I will get a few hundred yuan for the next illness, but I haven't seen any improvement in this disease!" ”

Li Qin said: "The disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread, if your disease wants to be cured, it does take a while, but a few hundred yuan at a time is an exaggeration." ”

He continued: "In Chinese medicine, your illness is called back pain caused by liver and kidney deficiency. He paused, and then said, "You should still have a problem with spermatozoa." ”

The old man coughed a few times, concealed his embarrassment, nodded, the girl raised her eyebrows, showed a surprised expression, looked at Li Qin, and then looked at the old man.

Li Qin asked the old man to put his hand on the pulse pillow, gave him a pulse, and then did a full set of routine examinations before asking: "You have a haggard face, and you have a long cough with the old man's surname; Are there any symptoms of spleen deficiency and diarrhea, such as diarrhea? Seeing that the old man shook his head, he asked again: "What about the symptoms of stomach cold and less food, and phlegm in the chest?" He pointed to the old man's chest.

The old man still shook his head, and the girl said, "No, there are no problems." ”

Li Qin nodded and said, "It's good if you don't have it." This illness has to be slowly recuperated, do you drink bar? ”

The old man hummed: "Two meals of liquor a day, less than one or two meals." Do you want to quit drinking? ”

Li Qin smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to quit drinking, what I prescribe is a prescription for medicinal wine, and if you go to the pharmacy to grab medicine, it will only cost more than ten yuan, and you can drink it for a week." ”

He took a pen and wrote a few lines, and then asked: "Do you usually eat a lot of meat, can you eat big meat, like lard or something?" ”

The girl replied for the old man: "My father is a vegetarian and does not eat meat!" ”

Li Qin crossed out the lard on the recipe and changed it to persimmon. After prescribing the prescription, he said to the old man: "Don't think that cheap medicine will not cure the disease, I will explain it to you." ”

The old man squinted at the recipe, and the girl also lowered her head to look, and saw that there were a lot of flavored medicines written on the recipe, wolfberry, fairy spleen, rehmannia root, mung bean, ligustrum, persimmon, longan meat, and liquor.

Li Qin pointed to the recipe and said: "Goji berries, ligustrum, fairy spleen nourishes the kidneys and liver, smart ears and eyes, strengthens muscles and bones; With longan meat to nourish the heart and spleen, nourish qi and blood, and black hair; Rehmannia and mung bean nourish yin and nourish Jin, clear away heat and detoxify, moisten the lungs and relieve cough. According to your current symptoms and constitution, use this recipe to make medicinal wine, which is right for the symptoms. ”

The old man frowned and said, "You said a lot, but I didn't remember it, anyway, it's just the right thing." ”

The girl said, "I remember, but what is the name of this medicinal wine, and how to take it?" ”

Li Qin said with a smile: "The name of this medicinal wine is Xichun Wine, which is very effective in treating chronic cough in the elderly. Three times a day, 10 to 20 milliliters each time, just a small cup, drink before meals. ”

The old man said, "Thank you, doctor, you are quite patient!" As he spoke, he looked up at the girl, who nodded slightly.

Li Qin laughed twice and typed out the medical case on the computer.

The girl suddenly said, "Doctor, look at these pimples on my forehead, what medicine can be used to get rid of them?" I've been writing papers for a few days, and I've stayed up a lot late. ”

Li Qin looked up at the girl: "I'll look at your tongue coating and stick out your tongue...... Well, it's staying up late and getting on fire. Nowadays, many people who work on computers have this problem, and students also love to have small pimples on their faces before exams. I'll tell you a tea to remove the fire, it tastes good and goes to the fire, and if there is no fire in the body, there will naturally be no acne. ”

He took another list and said, "You didn't register, I treated you for nothing, I see that your physique is not weak, you don't have a weak spleen and stomach, right?" ”

The girl shook her head and said, "I don't have anything else wrong with me except for these small pimples on my face." ”

Li Qin hummed, and said while writing: "Every time you make this tea, you need to eat two aloe vera, ten grams of coconut fruit, one black tea bag, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar." First boil water to make black tea, then you peel and cut the aloe vera into small cubes, when the tea has been brewed for five minutes, put the aloe vera and coconut fruit in it and stir well, add rock sugar to taste, and it's done. ”

After writing the tea recipe, he added: "Coconut fruit is a fermentation product, you have to choose no coloring, white or milky white." This tea is delicious and detoxifying, and can quickly remove acne. ”

The girl smiled at Li Qin, folded the recipe and put it in her pocket, said thank you to Li Qin, and went out with the old man.

When they left the consultation room, they didn't immediately grab the medicine, and the old man asked the girl, "How is it, it looks okay?" ”

The girl nodded: "Well, he is quite steady, patient, and looks good." ”

The old man smiled: "Then find a decent place to meet, don't just drink coffee or something, have a meal and watch a movie." ”

The girl hummed and took out her phone: "I'll text him and meet in another place." ”

In the consultation room, Li Qin took out his mobile phone to read the text message, which was a text message from an unfamiliar number, saying that it was his blind date and that he wanted to meet in another place and see him in half an hour.

Li Qin sighed, isn't the new place next to the clinic, is the blind date nearby?

Since they met half an hour later, and they were nearby, Li Qin planned to raise his spirits, and then go on a blind date to give the prospective female doctor a good impression of being full of energy.

In a daze, I fell asleep......

*********

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling was in power, and the northwest of the empire was in Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is also called Xiliang, which means: located in the west, often cold and cool.

Kanto is out of the prime minister, Kansai is out of the general. Ban Gu, who wrote the Book of Han, once said that since the Qin and Han dynasties, fierce generals who were known for their bravery, such as Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Li Guang and others, were all from Guanxi. There is a way: Liangzhou Malaysia is rampant in the world.

Liangzhou, Beidi County, Fuping County.

Fuping, where the rich and peaceful are. Fuping County was originally a place of peace, but at the end of the Han Dynasty, due to the proximity to the grassland, the local people were repeatedly harassed by the Hu bandits, and the government crusaded ineffectively, unable to ensure the safety of the people, so the rich households in the county moved away one after another, and most of the remaining people were extremely poor, and the economic strength was weakened, and the government was unable to lend seeds and farm tools and livestock to the people, so that a large area of land was barren.

Poor people from other places have come here to make a living and reclaim the famine, but because of drought and natural disasters, the land has no property, and the life is even poorer, many Hu people also take the opportunity to go south, Hu and Han live together, there are many contradictions, and there are many lawbreakers, strong people, committed crimes in the Central Plains, fled to this frontier to avoid pursuit, so that the original rich and peaceful land, neither rich, but also not peaceful!

Outside Fuping County, ten miles to the north, Fujiao Village. The poorest place in Liangzhou is Beidi County, the poorest place in Beidi County is Fuping County, and the poorest place in Fuping County is this small Fujiao Village.

There is an old farmer in his early fifties in the village, named Li Tian, who was elected by the villagers as Li Zheng because he recognized a few words. Li Tian's house is in the north of the village, although it is the identity of Lizheng, but it is not better than other villagers, a courtyard surrounded by an earthen wall, three mud and straw houses in the middle, and there is not even a kitchen, but a stove is set up in the courtyard, and the stove is the most valuable property in the family, an iron pot.

There was an old woman squatting in front of the stove, this old woman was Li Tian's wife, He Shi, who was boiling water, and while adding firewood to the stove, she kept turning her head to look into the house, where her injured son Li Qin was lying.

The son has been in a coma for a few days, and only occasionally wakes up, but when he wakes up, his eyes are blank, as if he doesn't recognize his father and mother, and he doesn't recognize this home. This situation really made her anxious, but her family was poor, she couldn't afford to see a doctor, she couldn't afford to take medicine, and she had no other way than to pray to God to open her eyes to save her son!
