Chapter 4: Divine Doctor Zhang Zhongjing
April is a sunny day, and it is the time to travel.
Liu Xiu wore a clean and ordinary robe, left the state pastoral mansion early, and walked out of the city. After Lu Su left Xiangyang, Liu Xiu saw Liu Biao again, and then never saw Liu Biao again. During this period, Liu Cong somehow did not come to find trouble.
Liu Xiu was happy to be idle, and according to his own plan, he practiced martial arts every day to strengthen his body and read and learn words.
Out of the city, Liu Xiu went to Lumen Mountain.
In Liu Xiu's memory, Lumen Mountain is the place where Ma Hui and others of Pound Company live in seclusion. He went to Lumen Mountain to play, and if he was lucky enough to meet Pang Degong or others, he could pull in the relationship between the two sides.
After leaving the city, he walked less than five miles of mountain road, and when he passed through a village, Liu Xiu saw that dozens of people had gathered at the entrance of the village.
"Be careful, be careful, don't hurt your leg. ”
"Don't move, don't move in pain, lay all the wounded people flat. ”
A deep and elegant voice came out of the crowd.
Liu Xiu walked over and found more than a dozen burly men on the ground. All of them had injured their legs and were in great pain. The children and women standing around them were all sad.
In the crowd, an old man with a clear appearance squatted on the ground, treating and directing at the same time.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu took the initiative to go inside.
"Let me go, I know how to heal, and I'll help. ”
As the so-called martial arts doctors are not separated, most people who are skilled in martial arts are proficient in medical skills. Because people who practice martial arts always have bumps and bumps, and they often fight, it is impossible to find a doctor for treatment if they are injured. More often than not, it's self-treatment. Over time, the medical skills of people who practice martial arts are no worse than those of ordinary doctors.
After Liu Xiu walked in, he squatted down and carefully examined the injured area.
The old man glanced up at Liu Xiu, nodded in greeting, then stopped talking, and concentrated on treating the injured person.
After Liu Xiu finished checking it, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
More than a dozen people lying on the ground were blunt to their lower legs, and most of their bones were fractured, and they did not completely break their bones. With a little treatment, it can recover on its own.
Liu Xiu instructed the villagers to prepare wooden planks and linen cloth, and then skillfully grafted the injured people's bones, and then used numbness and wooden planks to fix the injured calves. He moved skillfully, and the strength of the bone connection was just right, after the staggered leg bones were connected, and then fixed, the pain of the injured person was much easier. The immediate treatment made the surrounding villagers feel a lot more relaxed.
At the beginning, the villagers saw that Liu Xiu was young and were a little suspicious of Liu Xiu's medical skills. But seeing Liu Xiu's skillful appearance, his heart settled down a little. When the people who were treated by Liu Xiu had obviously improved, the eyes of the villagers were full of gratitude.
Under the diagnosis and treatment of Liu Xiu and the old man, after half an hour, all the injured people were bandaged.
Liu Xiu rubbed his sore waist, stood up, and ordered: "It takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, especially the leg bones of the calf, and it is even more careless." Drink plenty of bone broth when you go back to allow broken and injured bones to heal sooner. ”
The villagers thanked them again and again, and their gratitude was beyond words.
The old man prescribed herbs to the villagers, and asked them to decoction herbs to wipe the injured leg bones.
At this time, the old man looked at Liu Xiu, smiled and said, "Xiao Langjun is not very old, but he is skilled in medicine, and he is extraordinary. I don't know who Xiao Langjun is taught by?"
Liu Xiu replied: "The old gentleman praised it falsely, this is all my blind thinking, it is not worth mentioning." ”
When the old man heard this, he thought that Liu Xiu didn't plan to say it, so he didn't ask.
Liu Xiu saw the old man's expression and knew that the other party didn't believe his words. Liu Xiu didn't explain, and changed the topic: "Boy Liu Xiu, dare to ask the old gentleman's surname?"
The old man replied, "Old decay!"
Liu Xiu was surprised and asked, "Dare to ask, but Nanyang Zhang Zhongjing?"
Zhang Zhongjing said: "It's the old decay!"
Liu Xiu was overjoyed, and it is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Zhongjing was one of the people with the highest medical achievements in the late Han Dynasty. North Huatuo, South Zhangji. Hua Tuo specializes in surgery, mainly in the north. Zhang Zhongjing specializes in internal medicine, mainly in the south.
Liu Xiu was also pleasantly surprised to meet Zhang Zhongjing.
Liu Xiudao: "I have long heard that Zhongjing Gong's holy hand of medicine, the flesh and bones of the living and the dead, I can see it today, it is really a blessing for three lives." ”
Zhang Zhongjing said modestly: "Xiaolangjun praised it, Xiaoyou's medical skills are also exquisite. ”
Liu Xiu explained: "Zhong Jinggong really misunderstood, because of the practice of martial arts, I am very familiar with bruises and injuries, and I know how to diagnose and treat them. If it's typhoid fever and vomiting, I'm helpless. ”
Zhang Zhongjing saw that Liu Xiu's expression did not seem to be fake, nodded and believed Liu Xiu's words.
At this time, an old man with a white beard came over and said gratefully: "Old Wenyu is the patriarch here. This time, Wenjia Village suffered this great disaster, thanks to the help of the two divine doctors. Lao Yu arranged a simple meal and invited the two divine doctors to appreciate their faces. ”
Zhang Zhongjing was just passing by, not a special trip for treatment. Wenyu wanted to set up a banquet to thank him, and Zhang Zhongjing immediately resigned.
Wen Yu turned his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu again, but Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Zhongjing again. For Liu Xiu, it is okay to stay or not. Zhang Zhongjing stayed, and he naturally stayed. If Zhang Zhongjing doesn't stay, he won't stay either.
Wen Yu understood that Liu Xiu was mainly based on Zhang Zhongjing's opinion, so he tried every means to persuade him.
Seeing this, the villagers also persuaded again and again.
Everyone was warmly invited, but Zhang Zhongjing couldn't refuse, so he had to stay for dinner. Wen Yu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the people in the village to surround Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu to the village.
There are not many people in Wenjia Village, but they are very united, especially Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Xiu who have healed the injured, and the old and young people in the village are even more enthusiastic, with a look of gratitude on their faces.
After the five flavors of the dish, everyone chatted with each other.
Zhang Zhongjing is not good at words, most of them always answer questions, and then he smiles and doesn't say a word.
Liu Xiu was curious in his heart and asked, "Patriarch, the people in the village are injured, and they are all on their legs. It doesn't look like it's caused by a natural disaster, it's more like **. What is the reason why more than a dozen people are injured in their legs?"
When Zhang Zhongjing heard this, he also showed curiosity. Thinking of the injured patient, Zhang Zhongjing was a little angry in his heart, a good person was actually beaten with a calf, at least a few months of cultivation, this is too ruthless.
Wen Yu sighed lightly: "Don't hide it from Xiao Langjun, it's all because of the water." ”
"Water?"
Liu Xiu's eyes showed a trace of doubt.
Wenyu explained: "To the east of the village, there is a ditch. Because of the spring drought this year, the upstream village of Li built a dam over the river ditch, cutting off the village's water supply. The people in the village were not convinced, so they went to Li Village to theorize. Eventually, the two sides got into an argument and fought. The people in our village were not prosperous, and there were not many people who went, and in the end they were all arrested by the people of Li Village, and then they were sent back with discounted legs. ”
"How can it be!"
Zhang Zhongjing slapped the desk, and his kind cheeks showed an angry look.
Liu Xiu was thoughtful, and asked again: "Patriarch, there are many rivers in Xiangyang, are there no other rivers near the village?"
Wen Yu shook his head and said: "There is no Wen Village, but there are two in Li Village." Alas, after all, the people in Wencun are all relocated with their families, and they are outsiders, not locals. ”
Zhang Zhongjing was even more angry, got up with a pout, and said loudly: "How can this be reasonable, Li Cun is simply too deceitful. Patriarch Wen, the old man will accompany you to theorize. I don't believe it, Li Cun can really cover the sky with one hand. Since Li Village has abundant water sources, why bother the people downstream?"
Wen Yu refused: "Don't worry about the old doctor, you will be implicated if you go." ”
Zhang Zhongjing shook his head and insisted on going.
Wenyu didn't want Zhang Zhongjing to be implicated, and it was difficult for a while.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Patriarch, give it a try." If it happens, it can solve Wencun's worries. Even if it doesn't work, find a way. Moreover, Zhong Jinggong is not something that anyone can bully. ”
Wen Yu sighed lightly and said, "The old man called the people in the village, and he went again." ”
