In the countryside at dusk, the road still exudes a faint residual temperature, the high temperature in the day has not dissipated at dusk, but the temperature in the sky has begun to cool down suddenly, the hot air and the cold in the evening are intertwined, setting off a slight breeze, caressing the low shrubs in the countryside and the green grass of the green grass, so that these travelers and tired farmers in the countryside can't help but close their eyes slightly, feeling the beauty of this leisure period in the countryside.

But a moment later, the tranquility was shattered, and a large number of heavily armed sergeants, whose boots were stained with dirt and flying, came to this small village, and the shouting of the procession and the noisy sound of the procession frightened a large number of birds and birds, and also frightened the people who were sitting on the mounds and resting on the grass, and did not even bother to pat the dirt on their buttocks, and fled back to their homes in a hurry.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the common people were instinctively afraid of the soldiers and retreated, because whenever these people appeared in front of them, there were usually only two things, one was to help the government to collect taxes or levies, or the soldiers in the nearby barracks had recently been tired of eating in the barracks, and came out to the people's homes to beat their teeth and find out if there was any meat such as livestock.

Among the large number of sergeants, several war horses carried Lin Ran into this small village, and Wu Zai, the leader of Zhang Zhongjing's friend, led Lin Ran directly to a dilapidated thatched hut at the entrance of the village.

Walking into this dilapidated thatched hut, Lin Ran looked around and saw that there were many saint statues around, and there were rows of tables on the ground. It is only from the cobwebs that make up for it, the dust that flies, and the mottled almost invisible paint on the statue of the saint that it has been abandoned for a long time.

"What was this used to do?" Lin Ran asked Wu Zai.

"Your Excellency, this used to be a school." Sure enough, as Lin Ran guessed, this was indeed a place to train students before.

"Then why is this place so dilapidated now?" Lin Ran asked a little strangely.

Wu Zai sighed and said, "Han Taishou has recently stipulated that all young people over the age of fourteen in the county must go to Changsha City to serve as a conscription, doing heavy work such as raising the city walls, repairing the official mansions in the city, and carrying stones. ”

Lin Ran sighed secretly in his heart, fourteen years old, at this time, people were still children, Han Xuan actually asked them to serve in the conscription, to do all this hard work, you know, even if these conscriptions are done by adults, they are tired enough.

However, Lin Ran also knew that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to wars and various uprisings, as well as natural and man-made disasters, the population plummeted, and by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, nearly seven out of every ten people died for various reasons. After the total population was insufficient, the conscription of children aged 14 or even 10 years old to serve in conscription became a common phenomenon in many Dahan counties.

And these children were conscripted into forced labor, and this school had no students, so it was natural that it could only be dilapidated.

If the country is strong, the people will be safe, and if the country is in chaos, the people will be defeated, which is true.

With a somewhat heavy heart, Lin Ran and Wu Zai came to the small courtyard behind the school, according to him, the medical house temporarily set up by Zhang Zhongjing was in the backyard of this school.

As soon as he walked into the medical house, Lin Ran was surprised to see an entire courtyard of villagers. How many people can there be in such a small village? I'm afraid that most of the people in this courtyard have come.

Your sister, this is too exaggerated, half of the people in this village are sick on the same day?

Lin Ran walked into the courtyard, casually grabbed a stout male villager, and asked, "What kind of illness did you have here?" ”

The villager touched his head plainly and said strangely, "Me? I'm not sick. ”

Lin Ran was a little confused. "You're not sick, why are you standing in line here?"

"Doesn't that mean free treatment and medicine? I'll get a few payments and go back to eat, hehe. The male villager said honestly, but with a hint of cunning.

"But aren't you sick?"

"It's not like you don't need money."

.......

This is really a bargain.

Lin Ran was also completely speechless, this habit of taking advantage of small advantages is really a phenomenon that exists in ancient and modern times.

Finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, Lin Ran stood on tiptoe, and finally saw this legendary medical master who could be compared to Hua Tuo.

Zhang Zhongjing was wearing a plain coarse cloth dress at this time, and there was a table in front of him, on which were placed many medical instruments of ancient Chinese medicine, such as needles for acupuncture, desilting, and some medicinal materials for treating common diseases.

Zhang Zhongjing was touching the pulse of an old woman at this time, and his hand was on the old woman's wrist.

It's just that this old woman seems to have just come from working in the countryside, her hands are full of dirt, and a villager naturally has no habit of washing her hands.

Zhang Zhongjing did not have the slightest disgust on his face, but he also asked the old woman very kindly about her condition, diagnosed and treated, and made her hands full of mud.

As an official from a family, it is indeed very rare to be able to do this for the people in a sincere way without any benefit to himself, no wonder people in later generations not only have a high evaluation of Zhang Zhongjing in terms of medical skills, but also respect him as a model for future generations of doctors in terms of medical ethics.

"Lin Taishou, I'll help you call Zhongjing over." Wu Zai said.

Lin Ran stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't go over yet, Zhongjing is treating the villagers now, don't bother him now, let's wait." ”

The first time Lin Ran saw this special NPC historical-level famous general, a famous doctor, he naturally wanted to take care of his interests and leave a good impression on him, the ancient people, the most eating the set of corporal Lixian, when Liu Bei was tired like a lost dog, didn't he use the special courtesy of three visits to the thatched house, please move Zhuge Liang, the great god?

The dusk in the sky gradually receded, and the night slowly shrouded, and Lin Ran was very thoughtful to have people light torches around the courtyard.

Zhang Zhongjing had been busy all day at this time, and the cloth clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat.

"Whew." Finally, the last villager left the courtyard happily with the medicinal herbs, and Zhang Zhongjing shouted without raising his head, Next.

A man dressed in the official uniform of a high-ranking official of the imperial court walked in front of Zhang Zhongjing. Zhang Zhongjing saw this official uniform, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Ran.

"You are?" Zhang Zhongjing asked suspiciously.

"In Xia Yuzhang, Lin Xiaobai is too guarded, and I came to visit Mr." Lin Ran said to Zhang Zhongjing.
