Chapter 283: The Healer
It has been ten days since they came to Yanzhou, and although Yang Zhao helped to find his father's old department, there has been no news, and Zhangzhu has been embarrassed to chase Yang Zhao to ask about it.
In addition to looking for the old department, Zhangzhu also wanted to go to the nearby villages to see if there were any people who had contact with his father, just like the aunt who stayed in the city before they entered the city. I hope to find some details about my father from these villages.
She was going out of the city, and she was warned by Lao Huang.
"It's very chaotic outside, there are people making trouble at both ends of the three days, and now the city is safe, don't run around and beware of accidents."
But if you don't go out and walk around, how can you inquire about the affairs of the year, relying on Yang Zhao alone is not enough, Zhangzhu said: "Thank you for your warning, but I have to go out, I won't go too far, and I will come back before dark." ”
Liao Kai and Lao Huang said: "Lao Huang, don't worry, nothing will happen." ”
This time, he didn't bring an unarmed leap student, Liao Kai found a horse, and he and Zhangzhu each rode a horse and went out from the north of the city.
After running for a short time, Zhangzhu saw that it was surrounded by green mountains, and another river meandered through the foot of the mountain and flowed eastward. She was not confused and rode her horse to the village.
Before he officially entered the village, he saw a man lying on the side of the road on the hillside, and the situation was unknown. Liao Kai motioned to Zhangzhu not to dismount, he went down first to see what was going on.
The man was wounded in the leg, and he was bitten by something and bled a lot. Zhangzhu didn't hesitate anymore and hurriedly got off the horse: "Uncle, have you been bitten by some wild thing?" ”
"It's a wolf, and there's a wolf on this mountain."
Zhangzhu saw the tooth marks, and she hurriedly asked, "I don't know where the uncle's house is?" ”
"Live by the river across the street."
Zhangzhu asked Liao Kai to put the injured uncle on the horse, and they planned to send the injured uncle home. Zhangzhu found a useful herb in the grass again, and pulled out a few by the way.
They sent the injured uncle to his home, which consisted of only two and a half broken thatched huts with a shed outside. There were some farm tools and some straw stuff piled up. On the wall is a peeled animal skin that looks like a weasel's fur. Such skins should be worth a lot of money if they are sold, and it seems that this family is a hunter.
Zhangzhu followed into the house, let the uncle lie on the kang first, the lady of the family saw that the head was injured, immediately cried, and after crying a few times, he grabbed a handful of incense ash from the bowl on the table to stop the bleeding for the uncle, Zhangzhu saw it and quickly stopped: "Don't use incense ash, I have medicine here." There was a blanket on her shoulder, and the blanket contained some medicine that might be used, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy, in addition to the blanket there was also an herb she had just picked, and the palm beads asked the lady to help pound the medicine.
Then I asked the lady to help prepare hot water and clean cloth.
Dealing with the wound was a breeze for the palm beads, and she was so skilled that the family was completely stunned. After she dealt with it, she confessed: "You can't get raw water before scarring, and the medicine will be changed every two days." Zhangzhu left the bottle of medicinal powder in the blanket, and said to the lady of the family: "The herb I asked you to pound is called Zizhu, and I see that there is one on the mountain, you can go and pick it and mash it to compress the wound, which can stop the bleeding very well." ”
The two hurriedly thanked Zhangzhu, the lady saw that Zhangzhu was dressed as a boy, but it was a girl's voice, she felt a little strange in her heart, she asked: "Will you treat people?" ”
Zhangzhu nodded and said, "I understand a little." ”
Liao Kai on the side listened to it, and secretly said Do you know a little bit? It's too modest.
The lady was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly pulled her palm beads and said: "Our child has been sick for several days, and I have thought of many ways to do it, so please ask the doctor to help take a look." ”
Without saying a word, Zhangzhu followed the lady into another room, which was a little dim, and Zhangzhu had some difficulty before he saw the child lying in the corner.
The lady took the child to a bright place outside and asked Zhangzhu to help show her, and Zhangzhu saw that the child's face was flushed, and when he touched his forehead, he was really feverish. She coaxed the child to open her mouth to show her, then looked behind her ear, and touched her neck again, and the basic situation was understood.
She said, "Can you find perilla?" ”
"I have it at home, and I have boiled water to feed him, but you have seen the situation, and it seems that it has no effect."
"It didn't work, and that's because the medicine wasn't strong enough. Did you shave it? ”
"I scraped it once, but he cried so hard that I only bleed my fingertips."
"This symptom doesn't work when you put fingertip blood. Find a copper coin and some lamp oil. ”
The lady knew that Zhangzhu scraped her son, but when she thought of her son's crying, she hesitated a little when she saw the child suffering, and Zhangzhu later yelled at her: "I can't bear this, I can't bear it, you will lose him." ”
This sentence woke the woman up completely, and she was busy preparing what she needed for the palm beads.
Later, the two worked together to scrape the child, the child's crying was really loud, and the injured uncle was very nervous when he heard his son's suffering, but fortunately Liao Kai comforted him on the side: "Our doctor Fu is the best at treating children's diseases, don't worry." ”
But the uncle can't rest assured, this is his youngest son and the only son, he doesn't want his son to have three long and two short.
It takes a lot of effort to treat a child.
Zhangzhu was finally done, and he was already sweating profusely. The child fell asleep when he was tired of crying, and said several herbs to the lady: "You can find these kinds of water that I said and decoction water with perilla for him to drink, and drink them three times a day." Fry it thickly. Do you know all the herbs I'm talking about? ”
"I've heard it all, I'll dig it when I get back."
"The child has a high fever that doesn't go away, you can't keep covering him, otherwise it will backfire. Drink plenty of water, let him urinate more, and slowly let the body heat come down. Parents need to have faith. ”
"The doctor is very right, I have written it down."
The family left Zhangzhu for them to eat here, but Zhangzhu did not refuse, and she even helped to help. In the spare time of helping, Zhangzhu asked the lady about her father.
"Does the lady know General Xie Lianggui?"
When the lady heard this, she hurriedly said, "I know, I know, how I don't know." Several nearby towns knew about him, and we weren't so scared when he was still here, but I heard that he was transferred back to the capital, so why didn't we see him come back? ”
This lady didn't know about the Xie case, and she didn't tell the truth, but just inquired about some things about her father and his subordinates from the side, and asked some about the situation of the Jin people.
This lady is just a peasant woman with little knowledge, who lives a few miles away from Yanzhou City, but has never entered the city in her life, and she doesn't know much.
"If the doctor wants to inquire about General Xie back then, go and ask Pu Laohan in the west of the village, Pu Laohan has been delivering food to those soldiers, he must know."
Sure enough, this trip was rewarding.
