Chapter 130: Massage and Herbs
The old trainer had just opened his mouth, and suddenly closed it again.
It didn't take long for Zhang Heng to hear the words and faint footsteps coming from the corridor, and a large group of gladiators walked in from the outside in twos and threes, probably where they had just finished training, and they were still laughing with each other while walking, so the old trainer also changed his words, "I'll go look for you, let's talk about it then." ”
With that, he got straight down from the alcove and walked out of the hot bathroom.
And Zhang Heng steamed in it for a while, and then returned to the hot tub.
"As a person who is steaming hot for the first time, I have to admit that you have been holding on for a decent amount of time." After seeing Zhang Heng come out, Varro said that the former antique dealer seemed to have recovered a lot of energy after soaking in the pool for a while, and stood up from the bath, "It's time to look at me next." ”
"I'll wait for you here." Zhang Hengdao.
When Varro came out of the hot bathroom, the two went to the cold bath next door, the ancient Romans had a very strange bathing habit, they seemed to like this alternating feeling of hot and cold, but in fact, this washing method is likely to cause heart problems, in addition to staying in a cold and damp environment for a long time may also cause sailor syndrome and bring about hearing loss.
In contrast, women in ancient Rome were significantly better, and they hardly took cold baths.
Zhang Heng just tried and didn't plan to wash it like this, and he also persuaded Varro not to take a bath like this in the future, the latter was now obedient to Zhang Heng's words, and he immediately nodded and agreed without asking why.
And the end of the two's trip to the bath was a massage.
According to Varro, while admission to the outside baths is cheap, services such as storing clothes, refreshments, and massages are charged separately, compared to the baths of the gladiator school, which are free of charge to protect the valuable assets of the school's owner.
This is probably one of the few perks of being a gladiator.
By the time Zhang Heng and Varro returned to their residences, the battle over there had already ended, the four slave girls had left the room, and the two drunken gladiators were left lying on the bed, judging from the smiles on their lips, they should still be dreaming.
Today is the day when a group of newcomers pass the assessment, and Gabi also knows that everyone has been suppressed for a long time during this time, so he didn't arrange any training on this day, so he let everyone carnival to their heart's content.
However, Varro himself seemed to be very restrained, he just took a hot bath, recovered his mental and physical fatigue, and then returned to the training ground and began to train spontaneously.
He knew that it was a fluke that he could pass the assessment this time, even if he didn't have the problem of Habitus, he was also in the bottom of the crowd with his skills, and in order to survive until he left here and take revenge, he needed to further improve his fighting skills in order to survive the next battle.
As for Zhang Heng, he took a nap, and then wandered around the gladiator school until dark.
After obtaining the official gladiator status, their range of activities has indeed become a lot larger, as long as they don't leave the gate of the gladiator school, they can basically go anywhere, Zhang Heng first went to visit a few gladiators, and further learned about some gladiator schools and the personnel in it, especially the information of some trainers, knowing what they are good at, and preparing for consulting later.
Zhang Heng paid special attention to the information related to the old Persian trainer, but judging from the information collected so far, it was similar to what he had said before.
His name is Dadatis, he entered the gladiator school half a year ago, brought a class of newcomers, and then he was in charge of the training of Habitus, his origin is very mysterious, it is said that he has something to do with Gabi, the two have known each other many years ago, but other than that, everyone knows not much about him.
Some gladiators asked him about training, and Dadatis did not refuse, but his answer was not much different from that of other trainers, so gradually no one came to him.
After that, Zhang Heng went to the medical room again, almost every gladiator school will be equipped with a medical room, so that the gladiators who are not seriously injured can play again after treatment and cultivation, which greatly reduces the loss of the master here.
In all fairness, the skills of these doctors in this era were still good, taking Zhang Heng's gladiator school as an example, there were even retired imperial doctors working here, they were especially good at dealing with trauma and bone injuries, and they were even equipped with some copper or steel surgical tools, similar to modern surgical instruments, but there were no other effective anesthetics except alcohol and opium, and of course there were no means of sterilization.
In addition, they have no good way to deal with the injuries of internal tissues and organs, so they can only let their patients wait for death slowly.
When Zhang Heng entered the door, he saw a doctor with half-white stubble bandaging a gladiator with an injured leg, Zhang Heng stood by the door and waited for a while, waiting for the doctor to finish the work at hand, and after telling the injured gladiator patient the precautions, he finally looked up at Zhang Heng.
"Where did you get hurt? Let me see. ”
"I'm not hurt." Zhang Hengdao.
The doctor frowned, "Then why are you here?" ”
"Oh, I wanted to ask you, I wonder if you can buy herbs here?" Zhang Heng explained the intention.
He used the rest of the time in the alien copy to teach himself some knowledge of herbalism, just to deal with the current situation that the medical treatment of the dungeon that was too far in the era was not developed, Zhang Heng picked some commonly used herbs, such as anti-inflammatory and swelling, treatment of diarrhea and fever, as well as herbs for bruises, most of which are distributed in the Mediterranean, but even so, it took him a long time, and he barely understood the appearance of those herbs.
After hearing this, the doctor was skeptical, but fortunately, Zhang Heng's luck was good, and he met a relatively enlightened doctor, and there were already some herbal medicines in this era or even earlier, after all, in addition to these surgeons, the mainstream treatment method for internal medicine diseases at this time is still herbal medicine and prayer.
The doctor promised to help Zhang Heng find it, if it really worked, he didn't plan to take Zhang Heng's money, anyway, the cost of the treatment room was borne by the gladiator school, which was why he was willing to accept the invitation to be a doctor here, in addition to the generous remuneration, he could also get a lot of opportunities to verify his medical theories.
It wasn't until the evening that Zhang Heng returned to his residence.
During this time, the old Persian trainer did not come to him again, as if he had forgotten him. I have 48 hours a day for the latest chapters on the URL:
