Early in the morning, the subordinates loaded their bags into the carriage, Lu Rui and Cao Cao sat in the carriage, and the subordinates drove the carriage to Luoyang. Along the way, Lu Rui looked at the scenery on the road and was very excited, this was the first time Lu Rui came out of Cao's Mansion and got close to the natural world of the Han Dynasty for the first time. The air in ancient times was really fresh, it was unpolluted air, and there was a hint of sweetness in the air, Lu Rui enjoyed such nature very much, and went to the stream from time to time to play, Cao Cao was also very happy to play with Lu Rui, and showed an ugly smile from time to time, which made Lu Rui speechless for a while, Father Zhong, you don't look good, don't laugh, damage your eyeballs!

After half a month's journey, Cao Cao and his entourage finally arrived at the boundary of Luoyang, the first pass of the Han Dynasty, standing in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Rui saw the ancient pass for the first time, the Tiger Prison Pass was set up according to the mountain danger, winding and rugged, the city wall was more than 20 zhang high, and there was only one gate less than five meters wide in and out of the pass. Lu Rui jumped out of the carriage, and then said to Cao Cao, "Father, let's have fun here?" ”

Cao Cao looked at the lovely Lu Rui, touched his head and said, "Okay, Rui'er, since you like it here, let's stay here for a few days, anyway, we are not in a hurry to enter Luoyang, so we will accompany you to play here for a few more days." "Cao Cao stayed in the Tiger Prison Pass for good intentions, although He Jin recruited himself into the General's Mansion, but the situation in Luoyang Cao Cao is not clear, thinking of Lu Bohao's death back then, Cao Cao still has palpitations, it should be his own enemies in Luoyang to do it, want to continue the big banquet in Lu Mansion, on the grounds that the thieves raided the Lu Mansion, slaughtered the guests as a cover, to deal with himself, if it wasn't for Lu Bohao sacrificing his life to save him, I'm afraid there would be no Cao Mengde at this time. Thinking of this, Cao Cao took Lu Rui's hand and went to an inn to stay.

At night, Lu Rui slept next to Cao Cao, and suddenly the door of the inn moved, and a man in black walked in, and after seeing Cao Cao, the man in black knelt down and said, "See the lord." This person is a member of Cao Cao's intelligence agency, known as the Black Shadow, Cao Cao looked at the Black Shadow and said, "Black Shadow, how is the situation in Luoyang?" ”

The black shadow looked at Lu Rui on the bed, and Cao Cao said, "Say, there is only a child here, what can't you say?" The black shadow paused and said: "Lord, the lord has already arranged for the lord in Luoyang City, and when he arrives at the general's mansion, the lord will take care of the lord, and the lord is ready to resign and return to his hometown, this is the last effort he made for the lord." "Cao Song is still an official lieutenant, although he has no military power, but his power is still very strong, he has already felt that the Dahan Mansion is about to fall, so he is determined to resign and return to his hometown, waiting for the opportunity to move.

At this time, Lu Rui kicked the quilt, it turned out that Lu Rui was awake, Lu Rui had been in Cao Mansion since he was a child, in addition to doing some things for the children of the family, he also learned some kung fu with Cao Chun and laid some foundations, Cao Cao saw Lu Rui kick the quilt, and quickly touched Lu Rui, then pulled the quilt, helped Lu Rui cover it, and then looked at the black shadow and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The black shadow was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Rui and said, "Lord, there is a clue about chasing and killing you in the Lu Mansion, it should have been done by Gonggong Zhang in the palace." When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately signaled the black shadow to shut up, and then tested Lu Rui, and saw that Lu Rui was still asleep, so he was relieved, and then asked, "Have you checked it out?" ”

The black shadow arched his hand and said: "Check it out, that group of people have been following the lord, originally the lord went to Dongjun, if they arrived in Dongjun, they would not start, but the lord temporarily went to Lu Mansion, so they moved to kill." "Zhang Rang? How could this old thing think of killing himself, he doesn't seem to have any deep hatred with himself? I offended a lot of nobles in Luoyang, but I didn't offend Zhang Rang, the deepest feud should be Jian Shuo, his uncle was killed by himself, why? Why kill yourself? Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lu Rui was lying on the bed at this time and heard the report of the black shadow. For Lu Bohao's family, Lu Rui's feelings are complicated, although he only stayed in Lu Mansion for three months, it was always Lu Bohao's family who gave him life so that he could come to the era of the Three Kingdoms. Although he has no family affection for Lu Bohao, or even feelings, Lu Rui still feels that there is an inseparable emotion, especially what Lu Boyao said when he entrusted himself to Cao Cao, which reflects a loving father's concern for his relatives and children, if there is no Lu Bohao to prevent Cao Cao's trouble, he cannot be Cao Cao's adopted son, and Cao Cao may not care so much about himself, just for this reason, Lu Rui made up his mind to avenge Lu Bohao's family.

Hearing the report of the black shadow, Lu Rui's heart was also full of doubts, Zhang Rang wanted to kill Cao Cao? Why, Cao Cao is also a eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is a young representative of the Eastern Han Dynasty eunuch group, because of Cao Cao's identity, he is also despised by the Eastern Han Dynasty's family, Zhang Rang, as the head of the eunuchs, will actually kill Cao Cao, suspicious, very suspicious, is it a knife to kill?

Cao Cao was also puzzled at this time, if other people were dissatisfied with him and killed him, he would still understand, but Zhang Rang was really impossible, thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at the black shadow and said, "I know, you can retreat." The shadow arched his hand and retreated. Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui, touched his forehead, and went to sleep with the lights out.

The next day, Cao Cao took Lu Rui to walk around the market of Tiger Prison Pass, although Tiger Prison Pass is a pass, but because it is an important town close to Luoyang, there are many novelties compared to Qian County, but these are not attractive to Lu Rui who has crossed over, because there are many more modern toys than in this era, and Lu Rui originally wanted to make up for his childhood and play more things, but in this era, there is really nothing fun.

Lu Rui and Cao Cao walked on the street, looking at the lively bazaar, eating while walking, although the toys in the Tiger Prison did not attract Lu Rui, but the food attracted Lu Rui. Now Luoyang is still very prosperous, there are merchants from all over the country, so it is still very attractive in terms of food, there are delicacies from all over the country, even from all over the world, roast lamb, roast suckling pig, sliced sauce dog meat, braised horse whip, cured mutton, sauce chicken, sauce belly, stewed lamb, sweet tofu brain, carp fillet, braised venison, fried caviar, fried quail mixed with orange shreds, stuffed soft-shelled turtle These delicacies make Lu Rui linger, Cao Cao can only follow Lu Rui and pay the money.

After a morning of walking the streets and alleys, Lu Rui and Cao Cao came to a tea house, sat down, ready to take a break, take a sip of tea, Cao Cao just called a pot of tea, and suddenly heard a group of people downstairs shouting, "The living doctor is coming, the living doctor is coming, the living doctor is coming" Then I saw a group of people, surrounded by an old man, slowly walked up, only to see the old man with a childish face, judging from the hair, this person must have been over half a hundred years old, but from the appearance, this person is definitely only in his prime, Cao Cao was also stunned when he saw this person, he had traveled south and north for many years, and it was the first time he had seen such an old man.

Lu Rui looked the old man up and down, and then saw the disciple beside him, Lu Rui's heart jumped, could it be that this person is Hua Tuo, thinking of this, Lu Rui pulled Cao Cao's clothes and asked, "Father, who is that person?" When Cao Cao heard this, he was also stunned for a moment, he didn't know, how could Lu Rui ask this question? Cao Cao had no choice but to invite his men to ask, and Cao Cao asked, "Xiao Er, do you know who that old man is?" ”

The man looked at Cao Cao, as if he was a nobleman, and then played his hand cloth back, and said: "This guest officer, that old gentleman's name is Hua Tuo, he is a miracle doctor is our great benefactor of the Tiger Prison Pass, and he has just cured a plague in a small village outside the pass. After Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you can go down." The man dropped the sweat towel and retreated.

Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui, and then said with a smile: "Got it, Rui'er, it's an old miracle doctor who cured the plague in a village, you have no problem." "For Lu Rui's strange questions, Cao Cao is sometimes really overwhelmed, such as why someone has a small solution, how do you answer this question? This is still a small problem, once, Lu Rui came to Cao Cao and asked, middle father, why are you riding on the eldest mother's body in the room? At that time, everyone in Cao's Mansion was there, Cao Song looked at Cao Cao even more angrily, Cao Cao looked innocent, why did this kid ask everything, how could this old Cao answer? The Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers both covered their mouths and laughed, and Cao Cao really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. If Cao Cao knew that Lu Rui was knowingly asking, he would probably open his ass, and Lu Rui also relied on this strange habit to make everyone in the Cao family like it, and his status in the Cao family was rising steadily, and even Cao Cao sometimes had to follow Lu Rui's mood.

Lu Rui nodded, and then lowered his head to eat the baked cakes, but a thought arose in his heart, Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms era, was later killed because of Cao Cao, Hua Tuo, as a historical legend in the Chinese medical industry, Lu Rui didn't want him to die, if he didn't die, maybe a lot of history would change, and if he wanted to assist Cao Cao, it would be much more convenient.

Just when Lu Rui was calculating Hua Tuo in his heart, an old man walked up, and many people gave way to him, estimating that this person was a prestigious old man, and a strong man said, "The old village chief." Then he brought a stool to the old man, and it seemed that this was the village chief of the village where Hua Tuo had cured the plague. The village chief looked at Hua Tuo, grabbed Hua Tuo's hand and said, "Doctor Hua, thank you, thank you for saving the people in the village, you are an old miracle doctor, there is something I want to ask you." After speaking, Hua Tuo knelt down.

Hua Tuo was taken aback when he saw the old man, and hurriedly helped the village chief and said, "Old village chief, if you have anything, just say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." After speaking, he and his disciples hurriedly helped the old village chief up and sat back on the chair.

The old village chief looked at Hua Tuo and said sadly: "Doctor Hua, you cured the plague in our village, I am very grateful to you, but my son is gone because of the plague, and I only have one grandson left, if there is another plague, will it take my grandson's life?" In the past few years, there have been many plagues. Please, please, please, Originally, in the past 20 years, the plague near the Tiger Prison Pass has been more frequent, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was a big plague, the old village chief has lived a lifetime, and he has experienced several major plagues in the past 20 years, and his originally prosperous children and grandchildren are now only left with a little grandson, in order to keep this little grandson, he wants to ask Hua Tuo for a way to avoid the plague.

When Hua Tuo heard this, he was stunned, this is indeed embarrassing for himself, preventing the plague, this is really incapable, when the plague occurs, Hua Tuo goes to find the cause, and then prescribes medicine for diagnosis and treatment, it generally takes several months, during this time, some people with poor physique or serious illness, especially children, will die, which is unavoidable, thinking of this, Hua Tuo shook his head, this is really no way for himself.

Hua Tuo looked at the old village chief, and then said helplessly: "I'm sorry, old man, I can't prevent this, I can only treat the patients who have the plague, I really can't help how to prevent the plague, I'm sorry, old man, I can't help you." The old village chief looked at Hua Tuo in disappointment, he just hoped to get an answer from Hua Tuo's mouth, and he also knew that this was basically hopeless, because he had lived all his life, and he had never heard of a way to prevent the plague, he originally thought that Hua Tuo had it, but unfortunately Hua Tuo disappointed him.

Hua Tuo's disciple Wu Pu saw the master's embarrassed appearance, and also stood up, arched his hand and said: "Old village chief, the master really doesn't know how to prevent the plague, if he knows, it will be the blessing of my Han Dynasty, we have followed the master for more than ten years, traveled and practiced medicine in various parts of the Han Dynasty, and we all want to find a way to prevent the plague, but unfortunately, now our master and apprentice have not found a way to prevent the plague." ”

Lu Rui looked at the conversation between the three of them, and smiled in his heart, how to prevent the plague? Chickenpox, the simplest plague, a method of planting pox has only appeared in recent times, if you can prevent the plague, unless you are a doctor who has traveled through time, hehe, pox? It seems that Hua Tuo can be fooled.

Just when Hua Tuo was chatting with the old village chief and the villagers, a voice suddenly came, "I can't even prevent the plague, is it still a miracle doctor?" It seems that he is also a person who deceives the world and steals his name" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and a piece of meat that Cao Cao sent to his mouth stopped at the side of his mouth, at this time Hua Tuo and everyone looked over, Cao Cao realized that this was what Lu Rui said, and scolded in his heart: Oh, my little ancestor, what are you doing, this is also your business?

Wu Pu saw that it was Lu Rui, just a three-year-old child, and then scolded: "Little child, what do you know? My master is Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty, how can you slander this child? Preventing the plague? This is the way of the gods. Seeing Wu Pu scolding Lu Rui, Cao Cao's personal guards immediately stood up and showed their swords.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, little ancestor, what are you doing here, you want to fight? It's not like that, although Cao Cao did a lot of ridiculous things when he was young, but there are still relatively few things that take the initiative to find trouble, Lu Rui's words are indeed provocative. Even if it is Cao Cao, he is helpless to find trouble for Lu Rui, he can only leave his head aside, anyway, it is a child, this group of people dare not do anything, when the time comes, it is a big deal to rush out, go to the county government to show his identity, and he will be leveled, he has not done this kind of thing before, this time he also took Lu Rui to learn, and he should be reasonable to be a gentleman, it seems that he has to educate Lu Rui well, this is the Tiger Prison Pass, it doesn't matter, but when he arrives in Luoyang, if Lu Rui does this, it will be bloody! Thinking of this, Cao Cao regretted bringing Lu Rui out, the little demon king, he would really find trouble for me.

Hua Tuo and the others, seeing Cao Cao's personal guards, were stunned for a moment, it seems that it is a big family, and it should be a family, otherwise there will be no protection from these guards, thinking of this, Hua Tuo stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "This little friend, you are right, there is no way to prevent the plague, it is true that it cannot be regarded as a good doctor, Xiaoyou is right, the name of the miracle doctor, Hua Tuo really dare not be." Hua Tuo knows that Lu Rui's identity is extraordinary, the so-called people do not fight with officials, if Lu Rui makes a move, it will definitely be him who suffers.

Wu Pu saw Hua Tuo's appearance on the side, he was angry, and then said to Lu Rui: "Huangkou Xiaoer, my master doesn't know the method of preventing the plague, will you?" Hmph, ignorant child. When Hua Tuo heard this, he immediately glared at Wu Pu, this kid really doesn't know how thick the sky is, what do you care about a child. Thinking of this, Hua Tuo wanted to apologize to Lu Rui.

Lu Rui smiled and said: "I'm a child, but I'm a yellow-mouthed child, and I have a lot of experience in preventing plagues, old man Hua Tuo, if you follow me, you will definitely benefit a lot, how about it, come back to the house with me to be a famous doctor." ”

When Hua Tuo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, could it be that this kid saw that he had superb medical skills and wanted to recruit himself into the house to be a doctor? When Wu Pu heard this, he laughed and said, "You kid, you are really a fool, do you know how to prevent the plague?" What a joke. ”

Lu Rui looked at Hua Tuo and said, "Old man Hua Tuo, have you ever heard of illness from the mouth?" When the plague occurs, is it not easy for the rich and noble to be infected with the plague? Why didn't the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the plague zone die? Man is the chief of a hundred spirits, why are the snakes and rats not dead, but the chief of a hundred spirits is dead? ”

As soon as Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head helplessly, Lu Rui raised some headache questions, and after Hua Tuo and everyone heard it, they were all stunned, fell into deep thought, and thought about it, as if Lu Rui had a point, he didn't seem to be able to find any reason to refute Lu Rui, Wu Pu shouted on the side: "You kid, what are you talking about here?" ”

Before Wu Pu's words were finished, he was stopped by Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo is not an idiot, Lu Rui is justified in what he said, why people in rich families are not easy to be infected by the plague, he doesn't know, and Lu Rui's later sentence made Hua Tuo interested, and the child who can say such things must be not a simple child!

Hua Tuo arched his hand and asked, "Little friend, I don't know what methods you have to prevent the plague, can you tell me?" Thank you. After speaking, he bowed and said that he was willing to ask Lu Rui for advice.

Lu Rui didn't answer Hua Tuo's question, and then asked: "Old man Hua Tuo, you promised to come to my house and be my son's doctor for the rest of your life, I will answer you, what do you think?"

Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Lu Rui said again: "Old man Hua Tuo, I know that you have traveled all over the world to save people, but in order to save more people, you should stay in my mansion." My house can provide you with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, paper, not bamboo slips, you can record your medical experience and pass it on to your disciples, I only want you to stay in my house, and the rest of your disciples can continue to practice medicine outside, isn't this the best of both worlds? After speaking, Lu Rui continued to eat his own flatbread.

After Hua Tuo listened to Lu Rui's words, he glanced at Lu Rui meaningfully, and he could say this, it shouldn't have come from the mouth of this three-year-old child, he actually saw through his own thoughts, could it be that the man next to him who didn't look good was taught? If there really is a way to prevent the plague, you must figure it out yourself.

Thinking of this, Hua Tuo arched his hand and said, "Little friend, if you can tell why rich and noble people are not susceptible to the plague, I will enter the mansion to follow the little boy, I don't know what the little boy thinks?" ”

Lu Rui heard this, then patted the housekeeper next to him and said, "Steward Cao, quickly set up a document and let Old Man Hua sign it." Cao Cao's housekeeper looked at Lu Rui, and then at Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked like he had nothing to do with himself at this time, and the housekeeper was helpless, so he took out a pen and paper and wrote down a note, a note that Hua Tuo sold himself to Lu Rui.

Steward Cao handed over the note to Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo looked at the note, and said to Lu Rui: "Little friend, you can tell the reason." ”

Lu Rui smiled and asked, "Old man Hua Tuo, do you know why people get sick?" ”

When Hua Tuo heard this, he said: "The pathologies in the world are different, but if an individual is infected with a disease, there must be an evil qi invading the human body. ”

Lu Rui listened to Hua Tuo's words, the ancients are the ancients, the Oriental medical theory is that the evil qi enters the body, finds the restraint, and then takes the treatment to expel the evil qi, this is the basic principle of Chinese medicine. Lu Rui smiled and said: "I only know how to drive away evil qi but I don't know how to prevent evil qi from entering the body, let me tell you, the reason why rich and noble people are not susceptible to infection is because their practical things, including drinking water, are cooked with fire, fire is the aura of driving away evil spirits, of course, it can prevent plagues, what a stupid old man." After speaking, Lu Rui took a sip of tea and looked at Hua Tuo, this old man, are you still not fooled by me?

When everyone heard this, they all pondered, thinking about Lu Rui's words, at this time, Hua Tuo's heart was turbulent, ups and downs, and restrained the plague from the source, which Hua Tuo had never thought of, and with this alone, the impact on Hua Tuo was already great. And Lu Rui's statement seems to be very reasonable, this phenomenon is around him, but he has been practicing medicine for many years and has not found it, and even said that he has not noticed it, but when Lu Rui said it, he seemed to suddenly realize.

Lu Rui looked at everyone, then asked Hua Tuo, and said, "Old man, I have already told you, you can sign the contract." ”

Wu Pu shouted from the side: "What kind of method is this? What a joke. ”

Hua Tuo interrupted Wu Pu's words, and then said, "Okay, little boy, I will be the doctor in Gongzi's mansion in the future, and I hope that Gongzi will keep his promise." ”

Lu Rui glanced at Hua Tuo and took the bait? It seems that Hua Tuo wants to find a way to prevent the plague from Lu Rui, the plague seems to be an insurmountable gap for Hua Tuo, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Hua Tuo will not give up, Lu Rui nodded and said: "Hua Tuo, I will give you a few days to deal with your disciple's affairs, and after three days, come to the largest inn in the city to find me." ”

In this way, Hua Tuo, the divine doctor of the Three Kingdoms, was fooled by Lu Rui, Hua Tuo was originally from Xuzhou, and he was born in a big family, and the reason for engaging in medicine was that there was a plague in his early family, and many relatives passed away one after another, which had a great impact on Hua Tuo, Lu Rui relied on some modern knowledge and understanding of Hua Tuo, so he fooled him into Cao Mansion, no, not Cao Mansion, it was Lu Mansion, Lu Rui grew up in the future, and he was going to leave the Cao family.
