Chapter Eighty-Seven: Becoming a Doctor

Zhao Gong sneaked into the room that night and stole three cakes from the girl's house, he was hungry, but he still had to put the general's shelf, he didn't dare to eat first, just shook a scoop of the girl's tank of water to quench his thirst, and then tiptoed out of the house, ready to take the cake to save his brother's life.

But when General Zhao passed by the coffin in the courtyard of the girl's family, a heart-piercing pain suddenly flare-up from the abdominal cavity.

Zhao Gong, who was in pain, was unable to walk a step, and beads of sweat the size of beans ran down his forehead, and the pain in his intestines was like a knife twisting and cone.

Zhao Gong was a thief, although the pain was unbearable, he really didn't dare to shout anything in a trance, so he had to bow over and lie next to the coffin, expecting to be relieved.

But the blessing is incomparable, the disaster is not a single line, but at this time, the coffin that Zhao Gong borrowed from was not honest, just when Zhao Gong was about to collapse because of the pain, the coffin suddenly sounded a "creaking" sound.

Immediately afterwards, the dead man lying in the coffin sat up.

Under the successive blows, Zhao Gong was afraid, he screamed "whoop", and ran away, but unfortunately he didn't run a few steps, and the feeling of intestine rotting became more and more intense, and finally he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground in pain.

When Zhao Gong woke up from his coma the next day, he found himself facing head, and he was being helped headfirst on a pillar with two men.

Being tied up and captured is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that at this moment in front of him, the old man who had been dead for a long time was "alive" again, he was being supported by the Miao girl in the coffin, panting, and looking at Zhao Gong and his gang coldly.

In the Ming Dynasty, ethnic relations were far from being as harmonious as they are now, and the Miao and Han ethnic groups were very nervous because of the impermanence of the local Tusi judgment and resistance to change the land and return to the stream.

In view of this, before the Miao father and daughter could speak, Zhao Gong made up his mind that he would not tell his true identity if he was killed, not only for his own "great cause of restoring his sight", but also for his brother.

When Miao Nu saw him wake up, she immediately asked him what he was doing with a straight face, and he was not allowed to tell lies, otherwise, "Let Zhao Gong drink into the snake in his stomach and bite you through your intestines." ”

After listening to Miao Nu's words, Zhao Gong realized that this Miao Nu was a Gu woman, and the reason why her stomach hurt was all because she had a cheap mouth last night and drank other people's water, which caused her to grow Gu poison, and then her intestines were unbearable.

With his life in the hands of others, Zhao Gong's hope of escaping in the end was shattered, but even so, the instinct to protect himself still made Zhao Gong tell a lie.

He told the woman that his name was "Zhao San", and that he was actually a barefoot doctor, and that his master was Li Shizhen, because he was robbed while selling medicinal herbs in Furong River, so he was so downcast that he stole with his subordinates.

In fact, if you analyze carefully, Zhao Gong's words have many loopholes, for example, why does a doctor have knife and gun wounds on his body, how can a doctor bring two strong and fierce entourage, and why does a doctor carry a kitchen knife......

But fortunately, the Miao girl didn't see these abnormalities, as soon as she heard that Zhao Gong was "Langzhong", she immediately overflowed with words, and immediately picked up the rope for Lord Zhao, and pulled him to see the old man lying in the coffin.

This time, it's hard to stop Lord Zhao.

In fact, Zhao Gong is not a coward, he has encountered plague and disease in the war, as the so-called "long-term illness becomes a doctor", this Zhao Gong has been in the army for a long time, and naturally understands the daily wind and cold, and the treatment of orthopedic trauma, and this is also the capital for him to lie that he is a "barefoot doctor".

But the key problem is that this old man's illness is very troublesome, and he has entered the coffin board, which is obviously desperate for his body, waiting for the rhythm of death at any time.

Although Zhao Gong has not yet been diagnosed, he knows that the old man has reached this point, I am afraid that it is difficult to have any room for recovery, and the most important thing is that even he feels hopeless, how can others be optimistic?

But the fate is pinched in the hands of others, Zhao Gong can't do it if he doesn't see it, and he thinks that death is very simple, but he has to be bitten to death by a snake from the stomach little by little, which is still not good.

So, Zhao Gong recalled the skills of the military doctor to treat the soldiers, first cut the pulse of the old man, and then showed the old man the tongue coating and fundus of the eyes.

The results of the diagnosis and treatment surprised Zhao Gong.

It turned out that Zhao Gong found that the old man's illness was not complicated, it was just a very common "warm disease", although it was infectious, it was not a serious illness at all in the Central Plains and other places, but it had been delayed for a long time, and the condition was very critical, but it was far from the point of being terminally ill, let alone waiting for death in a coffin.

Curious, Zhao Gong asked the old man, "Do you have this sick family?!" ”

The old man nodded.

Zhao Gong asked again: "Someone in every family dies because of this?" ”

The old man nodded.

The old man's performance made Zhao Gong confused.

Zhao Gong knew that such a condition was very simple, and he didn't need any peerless doctors, and only a few herbs in the mountains could be treated, but why did it get so farther, and let the whole village die because of such a simple minor illness, and every household wore filial piety?

Puzzled, Zhao Gong explained his father's illness to Miao Nu, and at the same time raised his own questions.

As soon as Miao Nu heard that her father's illness had been cured, her attitude immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and Miao Nu also gave a good answer to Zhao Gong's questions.

At that time, Xuerong Village was catching up with the Tusi rebellion, those rebellious Tusi in order to deal with the army of the Southern Ming, blindly expanded the armament war, and searched everywhere for soldiers and materials, they captured the capable prime of life and Langzhong in the village to fill the army, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled who did not understand pharmacology, women and children were lonely and widowed guarding the village, so they were helpless against this common plague, so that they made trouble to the point of death at home.

After hearing these words, Zhao Gong recalled the ragged and spiritless soldiers under Tusi's men, and the lost and helpless eyes of the soldiers after they were defeated, and immediately felt and said: "The people are bitter in their rise and fall, and the judgment is all white bones......

With this sigh in mind, Zhao Gong decided to do something for this war-torn village to relieve the village's pain.

So, taking this as an opportunity, Zhao Gong became a real barefoot doctor, although he and his subordinates are not high in medical skills, but do their best, in addition to Zhao Gong's understanding of the art of war, and a little bit of scripture, and the dishes are good, soon he established prestige in this blood Rong village, and became the most respected "medicine king" outside the patriarch of Miao Village.

Later, probably because of the "snake Gu" in his body, Zhao Gong took the snake girl as his wife, and after giving birth to several children, his life quickly entered a calm and happy track.

But even so, Zhao Gong did not forget his identity as a remnant of the Ming Dynasty, and did not forget the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

There were many nights, he dreamed that he led King Qin's army back to Beijing, fought back to Zhaojialou, dreamed of reuniting with his brother again, and talked about it, but when he woke up from the dream, he could only cry silently at the green lantern and the lonely moon, and sigh at his hometown in the north.

He longed to make a comeback.
