Chapter 11: Stillbirth

The second shopkeeper smiled: "You are really funny, this musk is not wild, except for the emperor's hunting ground, I haven't heard of anyone raising forest musk deer at home." ”

"Since you know, you only opened ten articles? Don't you feel sorry? Zuo Shaoyang said with a red face.

The second shopkeeper smiled, turned around and pulled out a medicine pump from a large row of medicine cabinets, took out a few things from it, and put them on the counter and patted them: "Oh, these musks, if Young Master Zuo sells them all to you!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, took a look, there were really a few musks on the table, he picked one up and looked at it carefully, yes, he checked the other ones, they were all authentic musks, and stammered: "Is it really ten ......, twelve wen one?" ”

"Hmmm! If Young Master Zuo wants it all, eleven Wen is fine, this is the wholesale price of our pharmacy, let's be honest, our pharmacy buys musk, and the purchase price is generally Jiuwen, and we are the highest in Hezhou pharmacy. Today is Young Master Zuo, you personally come to the door to sell, this face, hehe, we naturally want to give it, so we only offered ten yuan. If you are someone else, you will only be able to write nine texts! ”

Zuo Shaoyang was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that musk, which was worth 100,000 yuan in modern society, was only worth 50 yuan in the Tang Dynasty!

Of course, he understands that there is no problem of protection of wild animals in the Tang Dynasty, and because of the sparse population, human activities have little impact on the natural world, so the number of wild animals far exceeds that of modern society, and the girl can hit a forest musk deer when she collects firewood, which is enough to show that the forest musk deer is a very common animal in this era, and I am afraid that there is no big difference with the hare, but he can't imagine that the price difference between ancient and modern times is so much. Because he didn't know that in addition to the forest musk deer and other wild animals in the Tang Dynasty far more than in modern times, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was a great shortage of living materials, except for the price of rice, the prices were very low. A musk sells for ten cents, which is already a high price.

This price was far from what he imagined, and he didn't even have the heart to bargain, recalling that the girl sold musk to herself at that time, and thought that she had taken advantage of her, but in fact it was only sold at a real price, presumably she sold it at this price when she took it to the city, and since she wanted to buy it, she sold it to herself at a real price. With this confirmation, knowing that although the second shopkeeper of Huimin Hall spoke badly, he did not deceive people, and he was extremely depressed, thinking that he would be able to pay off his parents' debts by selling this musk, but now, what should he do?

Zuo Shaoyang took the musk into his arms with a frustrated face, turned around and walked out of Huimin Hall, standing at the door, the cold wind blowing, and he didn't have any idea in his heart. I thought that with the advanced knowledge I had mastered from modern society, I could easily win in Datang, become famous, rich and glorious, and earn the first pot of gold with this musk bought at a low price, but I didn't want to lose the first battle, and I lost so humiliatingly. Now I know that in Datang, making money is not as easy as I imagined, and the ancients are not stupid, not stupider than themselves.

Of course, he won't give up because of the failure of the first step, what to do next?

Think about what skills you have that the Tang Dynasty people don't have? Making glass? Making cement? Build guns? Build a car? These things are all good things, but I only know what these things are, but I can't make any of them! From childhood to adulthood, his only specialty was to study and memorize a belly of Chinese medicine in college for several years.

Chinese medicine?!

Zuo Shaoyang's spirit perked up, although the ancients were also good at traditional Chinese medicine, but the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine they mastered, also more than the Tang Dynasty people more than a thousand years of accumulation, after the Tang Dynasty, many medical masters all kinds of wonderful experience in science and prescription, especially the medical achievements of the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in modern society, absolutely surpassed any miracle doctor in the Tang Dynasty! With this knowledge, you should be able to create a career.

This idea filled Zuo Shaoyang's heart with hope, but thinking of Guizhitang's few businesses, he was at a loss, and he couldn't pull people all over the street to ask if he wanted to see a doctor, telling them that he was from modern society and could cure many diseases that the Tang Dynasty people couldn't treat, so it would be strange if he was caught in the yamen as a madman.

When Zuo Shaoyang was standing at the door thinking about joy and worry for a while, he saw noisy footsteps in the distance, and a group of people came in a panic, carrying a woman with a door panel, her stomach bulging high, moaning weakly, and the man next to him kept comforting him: "Wife hold on!" It's time to go to Huimin Hall! ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly stepped aside to look, the old man led by this group of people waved his hands wildly, lifted the door curtain, and kept shouting inside: "Let go, please let go!" Doctor! Ni Langzhong! Help me! Save my daughter-in-law! ”

This group of people entered the lobby, and with the help of the big red lantern hanging high on the door, Zuo Shaoyang saw that there was a string of ticking blood on the bluestone slab in front of the door! I couldn't help but sink in my heart, thinking that I was only afraid that this mother would be more auspicious.

A few men from Huimin Hall hurriedly greeted her, and helped carry the woman into the house and into the next room. A white-bearded old man hurriedly came out of it and followed in, it seemed that it should be that Ni Langzhong.

Zuo Shaoyang also stepped into the lobby, and the patients waiting in the room were all looking at the door of the wing, but the door of the wingroom was closed, and he couldn't see the scene inside, only the woman's weak moans and the man's anxious call could be heard. The patients were talking to each other, and several old women were shaking their heads: "It looks like a difficult birth!" ”

"But it's not, look at the blood on the ground, I'm afraid that the blood will collapse!"

"Is there still life to that? Tsk, young, it's a pity! ”

"Don't say that, Huimin Tang's Ni Lang is a master of traditional Chinese medicine, and he will definitely be able to save people's lives!"

"That's what I said, but the healer doesn't save the mortal, look at her like this......"

There was a commotion inside, and no one cared about him, Zuo Shaoyang leaned over and stood by the window, wanting to listen to Langzhong's diagnosis in the room, but these singing women were talking nonsense, where could they hear it clearly, so they hurriedly put their index fingers to their mouths and sighed: "Everyone, there are people saving people inside, please be quiet, don't disturb Langzhong inside to save people." ”

The guys from Huimin Hall also said again and again: "Yes, all the old and young masters, aunts and aunts, don't talk, thank you so much!" ”

Soon the room fell silent. There were several sitting Langzhong in Huimin Hall, and the rest of Langzhong continued to diagnose patients, and when this quieted down, Zuo Shaoyang could hear the words in the room clearly. I only heard an old voice say, "Alas! It's late! It's already stillborn! ”

"Huh? My son......! ”

The cry immediately rang out.

The old voice said, "Don't cry! The old decay has to find a way to beat down the stillbirth, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be one corpse and two lives! ”

The crying suddenly became louder. They begged the old man to hurry up and take medicine.

After a while, the old man came out, went to the table and wrote the prescription, handed it to the man to grab the medicine, and immediately decocted it. And the woman's moans in the room grew weaker and weaker.

Zuo Shaoyang knows that if the fetus is stillborn, the stillborn must be delivered as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause diffusion intravascular coagulation, which will eventually harm the life of the mother! I can't help but be anxious for them.

The decoction was quickly fried and sent to the delivery room, and after waiting for a while, I heard the sound of banging outside, and it was already up.

The common practice of shops in the Tang Dynasty was to close their doors at the beginning of the shift, and the same was true for the pharmacies, and when they heard the sound of the watch, the patients in the pharmacies who had not had time to see a doctor consciously got up and left. The guy started closing the pharmacy door. In addition to these main entrances, there is also a toilet door next to it, which is for emergency services. The Tang Dynasty stipulated a curfew in the whole city from the beginning of the second watch to the fifth watch, and all people were prohibited from passing. There are a few exceptions, among which there are critically ill patients who are sent to the hospital in an emergency, of course, with the consent of the patrol officer on duty at night. In the case of this kind of emergency, the pharmacy of the hospital can still open the door for treatment. This small door is for patients who come to the emergency department after the night curfew.

The guy from the previous store said to Zuo Shaoyang with a smile: "Young Master Zuo, look, we are closing, you have something to do, come back tomorrow, okay?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang had to exit the lobby and stand on the street, so he couldn't hear the sound of the rescue in the house, Zuo Shaoyang shook his head, and had to pull his sleeves and shrink his neck against the cold wind and walk home.
