Chapter Thirty-Six: A Confusing Clue
was scolded by Shangguan, the second master hurriedly ran out, and when he went out, he suddenly turned around and asked:
"Which old thing?"
The county lieutenant said angrily:
"It's the old man He who refuses to let go!"
"Oh!" The second master suddenly realized: "Is it a year ago that the Wanjia family in the east of the city sent three taels of gold to take away his shop?" Hey, I'm afraid I'm dead, I heard that last time Zhao Langzhong spent money in prison to take a look, so he shook his head and said that his teacher was just afraid that he couldn't do it. ”
This second master is also extremely uninteresting, and he babbled everything out, and now the county lieutenant is surname is life is important, and those bribery things are left behind and automatically ignored, but as soon as this old man He died, wouldn't he even have the last glimmer of hope dashed, and immediately picked up the teacup next to the couch and threw it over, and scolded angrily:
"you donkey egg, if you die, Old Man He won't die, go and drag him to me! If you die, you have to bring the corpse! ”
The second master is a master who is powerful in front of others, but in front of this county lieutenant, he is a complete grandson, and immediately ran out silently like a gourd with a sawed mouth.
The county lieutenant gasped for a moment and fell silently on the couch, and it could be seen that he was now afraid that he would regret what he had done before. Fang Lin looked at it coldly from the side, and suddenly said:
"I'm afraid that there will be a holiday between the adults and the old man He, if that's the case, now you have a request for help, I'm afraid it's better to be polite."
The county lieutenant immediately said in a hurry:
"You're right! Come on! Go and tell Madame to take a tael of gold and come out! ”
When the others took the gold, the second master was already running out of breath, and said excitedly:
"Great! Master...... Not dead! ”
The county lieutenant's face suddenly turned purple, and another teacup was smashed over, and he said angrily:
"Of course I'm not dead, sir! What nonsense are you talking about! ”
The second master was smashed hard, and said with a bitter face:
"That's why Old Man He is not dead!"
The county lieutenant said eagerly:
"What about people, what about people!"
The second master said:
"Don't worry, don't worry, the old man is walking slowly, didn't I come to give you good news first?"
Hearing this, Fang Lin was overjoyed in his heart, this old man He could still walk, which showed that his body was quite supportable.
Soon an old man with a rickety body appeared at the door, his clothes were naturally very tattered, the wrinkles on his face were very deep, and his cloudy old eyes stared ahead. One of his legs seemed to be wounded, so much so that when he walked, he stepped first and then dragged the other injured leg up, followed by a careless servant. This guy was still scratching his teeth nonchalantly until he walked in the door.
The county lieutenant struggled to squeeze out a hint of an embarrassed smile and said:
"Old man He...... Dr. He said how are you doing recently? Now that the official is seriously ill, cough cough, this, the diagnosis gold is one or two ......"
Fang Lin noticed at this time, this old man He heard the word "serious illness", his eyes seemed to be shining, and his gray face seemed to have more blood, so he dragged his steps to the bed, seriously checked the pulse of the county lieutenant, and finally shook his head and said:
"Adults, this is the wind evil in the brain, and the small people can't do anything."
Fang Lin was shocked in his heart, this old man He has real skills! His mental impact is to hurt people's brains, and the wind disease of this era is also a polydactly head lesion, for example, Cao Ying has a "head wind", which is a strong migraine. This old man He's diagnosis of the county lieutenant: the wind is really not bad at all!
The county lieutenant pinned all his hopes on this old man, who was still supporting himself before, but now he suddenly couldn't hold it anymore, and said in a trembling voice:
"This official ...... I...... In the past, I really had some misunderstandings about the old man, and I hope that Mr. He will ignore the past suspicions! As long as it can cure me! Ten taels of gold, no, twenty taels of gold! ”
The county lieutenant changed three titles for himself in a row, which showed the panic and urgency in his heart, but the old man He returned to his dull appearance and said indifferently:
"The adults are thinking badly, medicine is benevolence, if my old man can heal, he will not push back, but the disease that can't be cured is really powerless."
The county lieutenant's face turned pale for a while, and he seemed to be about to turn his face immediately, as soon as Fang Lin saw his appearance, he knew that he was going to call someone to carry out the punishment. Immediately frowning slightly, urging the spiritual power remaining in his brain, Lima fainted this nest waste, but said with a nervous look on his face:
"My lord doesn't seem to be able to do it anymore!"
Old man He's expression was tight, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check his pulse, frowning and muttering for a long time but refusing to speak. Fang Lin interjected beside him:
"In my opinion, if there is a good ginseng fried in a thick soup and poured down, it can be delayed for some time, at least it can hang the surname."
When the second master heard the holy decree, he immediately went to do it, but Old Man He said hurriedly:
"No! The physique of adults is originally healthy and prosperous, if you pour some ginseng soup down, and then make up for it, it is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, but I am afraid that the false fire will rise and you will die immediately! ”
Fang Lin saw that the anxious look on Old Man He's face could not be faked, and he admired him more and more for his noble medical ethics, but he was ashamed to say in his mouth:
"I had seen this disease before, and when I saw that the doctor at that time had diagnosed and treated it like this, I drew a gourd in the same way. In that case, let's ask Dr. He to make a prescription. ”
Old man He sighed, took the pen and ink but refused to put it down, the second master was very afraid of Fang Lin, but he had no sense of respect for this old man, and immediately stepped forward and scolded:
"Dead old thing, hurry up and prescribe medicine! If the lord dies, he will take you to the funeral! ”
Old man He was kicked and staggered, but Mu Ran's face was not humiliated, he looked angry, but there was a sad look in his eyes, and he shook his head and said:
"I can't open this side. Even if it is prescribed, you have nowhere to test the medicine. ”
The second master was stunned, thinking about it, the only Zhao family pharmacy in the county has been sealed, and even if the herb stalls in those markets are willing to sell, they may not be sold completely, so he said in a rough voice:
"What do you want! Don't play tricks on my uncle? ”
Old man He said Mu Ran:
"There are a few common drugs that are easy to find, but there are two drugs that I have to choose and concoct."
The second master was really a little hesitant when he heard this, so Fang Lin took the opportunity to say:
"It just so happens that I am familiar with medical skills, and there is also an elder in the family who suffers from this strange disease, why don't I accompany this Dr. He on a trip?"
Old man He glanced at him and said lightly:
"When I choose drugs, it's quite cumbersome, like a noble body like Gongzi, most of them can't bear the surname, so it's better not to go."
There was a faint rejection in his words. The second master immediately slapped him and said angrily:
"You're so boring! I think you're trying to slip away! Come! ”
Saying that, the second master called two people, all of whom were slaves of the family, and they looked very well-behaved, one was called Luo Kuaishou, and the other was called Menban Liu, and directly ordered them to follow this "Xiahou Gongzi", and closely monitor the whereabouts of this old man He. He knew that he was angry with his eldest brother in this place, but he was afraid that no matter how much money he paid for this medicine, he would not be able to buy it, so he couldn't say that he would use it to rob it, so he transferred seven or eight officials to escort him.
A group of people went to the market first, and only two of the herbalists ran away, and the rest were all caught by the officials, but Old Man He stiffened his neck and refused to do anything, and he had to give them money before he was willing to choose the medicine. Luo Kuaishou was shocked and angry - when did he give money for things in this county? kicked the old man a few times, but he couldn't, but he could only scold and scold the last example.
After the medicinal materials were chosen, the old man went back to his home and carefully selected some suitable utensils. Then he returned to the county government to start making medicines, he first boiled a bowl of Canghuo soup and poured it into the county lieutenant to stabilize his mind, and then went to the work of concocting medicines.
The process of processing drugs is complicated, and there are nine major processes: refining (heating), forging (high temperature heating), nourishment (low temperature heating), burning (local heating), pumping (distillation), flying (sublimation), pouring (filtration), pouring (cooling), and boiling (heating with water). But when I hear it, I think it's complicated, not to mention that you have to look at it and do it on the side?
Na Luo Kuaishou Door Plate Six was disillusioned by the wine, and stood next to him and watched for a while, feeling impatient, and thinking that this place was in the county government, this lame old ghost was difficult to fly even if he had wings, not to mention that this Fang Gongzi was still looking at him seriously beside him? The two were really heartless, looked at each other, and went to drink. Fang Lin and Old Man He were left facing each other in a makeshift pharmacy converted from a kitchen.
When all four of them were quiet, Fang Lin was about to speak, when Old Man He suddenly said flatly:
"Actually, adults shouldn't come to me for their illnesses."
Fang Lin's eyes flickered and said:
"Why did the old man say that?"
