Chapter Fifty-Three: Dispatch to Daling Mountain
The medical skills of ancient times are simply incomparable with today's, a world of difference!
What kind of doctors' professional quality, professional qualifications, medical skills, clinical experience, training and learning, drugs and devices - most of them are impossible to talk about, there is no such thing as medical treatment, not to mention any medical environment, research institutions - there is no internal medicine!
Most of the people are some Jianghu Langzhong, barefoot doctors, like Leng Banxian and the like, all based on long-term experience in seeing a doctor, after testing countless brave innocent people, there is an effect, word of mouth, and only then did he end up with the title of Mr.!
At that time, the average age of people was only forty or fifty years old! To be able to live sixty or seventy years old in Wanshan County, a large isolated county, is already considered to be a very high lifespan, which may be the reason for the elegant environment, the pure natural food, no pollution, the stability of the people's customs, and the people's pampering!
Women give birth at home, just call a midwife! Midwives also have no knowledge of medicine, and with experience, they are confused and dragged around, and when they meet a smooth birth, everything is safe and smooth, and everyone is happy; when they encounter a non-smooth birth or a difficult birth, they are helpless, and they can only watch the mother's pain and resign themselves to fate!
That's why in those years, the woman who died in childbirth was called a pitiful! That's why it is said that giving birth to a child is a woman who goes to the ghost door!
——
When Leng Banxian walked into the room, the two midwives were already in a hurry!
A few large candles illuminated the room, the black walls, the blood-red bedboards, and the white mosquito nets. www.biquge.info A young woman in her twenties, tied in a red belly pocket, with bare arms, was lying on her back on the bed, her face was purple, and she was almost unconscious; occasionally she screamed in pain, and the girl next to her helped her wipe her forehead from time to time with sweat, her tall belly kept squirming, and under her white thighs, a pool of red blood was flowing from the bed to the ground—
When the two mothers-in-law saw an old man come in, they originally felt disgusted, but at this time, they couldn't think about it anymore, their lives were at stake, and they got up and looked at the old man at the same time, and asked anxiously in unison,
"What if the foot comes out first? We've stuffed it in a few times, and it's still the foot that comes out—"
As soon as Leng Banxian saw this situation, he knew that it had been in production for a long time, and the blood was still flowing out, the situation was critical, and if he didn't give birth, the mother and child would be quite dangerous-
Two things immediately came to his mind, one, to produce children, and two, to stop the bleeding!
He didn't bring a medicine bag, no medicine, so he immediately picked up a pair of scissors next to him, cut off a strand of his hair, and handed it to a woman next to him.
"Hurry up and dry it, grind it into powder, and use it urgently!"
The woman quickly took her hair and turned to do so! He said to the other woman,
"Grab the child's foot and pull it out, pull it to the shoulder, and break the collarbone—"
When the woman heard this, she stepped back in fright, and stared at him stupidly—
Seeing this, Leng Banxian simply squatted down by himself, stretched out his hands, and acted decisively without saying a word-
This kind of thing can only be done by men!
To be ruthless, to be decisive, both hands to be strong, pinching accurately, even if it is a baby in the womb, want to break his collarbone, reduce the shoulder area, smooth output, no strength, how can it be easily broken?
Leng Banxian knows that the child has a fracture, the recovery is fast, and it won't take long to get better after birth!
At this time, the air in the room was solidified! I only heard the mother's rapid gasping and screaming of tears, the candles on the candlestick stretched out flames, burning vigorously, and the candlelight reflected on the cold half-fairy's old, sallow face, with a peaceful and warm light, giving people hope and confidence, calm, focused, serious, hard-
The county master and the fifth master of the cell in the corridor outside the house are also in a hurry, and they are not sitting up.
The county magistrate had a gloomy face, pinching his fingers and pacing back and forth.
I think I am the lord of a county, I have been an official for more than ten years, and I have also judged countless cases, although many major cases have been interfered by social underworld forces, beyond the limits of the ability of my own officials, and I have no choice but to do it myself! But the old man himself has no intention of harming others, and has never done anything against his will; he has studied poetry and books all his life, and he can be regarded as an official and upright, and it is not easy for him to get a son when he is old today.
The official only hopes that there will be successors, and the incense will continue, and he will not end up with a bad reputation in the future!
I keep praying in my heart, the gods bless, great mercy, bless my wife and little peace, Amitabha Buddha-
Just when time was burning, suddenly, a baby cried in the house, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, breaking the silence of death in the backyard—
The hearts of the people suddenly boiled, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the smiles opened, and soon, a woman came out of the back room with swaddling clothes in her arms, and shouted happily,
"Okay, okay, it's born, it's born, my lord—congratulations, it's a son!hahahaha!"
The county magistrate stepped forward and opened his eyes wide, seeing that Xiao'er was still waving his little hands, crying non-stop, his heart was full of passion, he cried with joy, hugged him in his arms, and scolded loudly,
"Bunny, so naughty, how did you get it-"
Then he asked nervously,
"How's ma'am, doing well!"
The mother-in-law replied with a smile,
"The bleeding is stopping, the gentleman has applied hemostatic medicine, it has stopped, and he is resting-"
"Ah, yes, yes, it's okay now! Divine doctor! It's just a miracle doctor—thanks to the help of the divine doctor!
The county master spoke excitedly, his hands were trembling, he handed the baby to his mother-in-law, and said to the fifth master who was also frowning on the side,
"Go, go quickly, ask the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes, and we will have a few bowls with our miracle doctor tonight!"
When the fifth master heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said,
"Sir, he's a prisoner, and I'm afraid it's not right, right?"
"The grace of saving lives, like regenerating parents! Where are there any prisoners? I can't care so much about it—here the official has the final say, go! Go, go!"
The fifth master had no choice but to take the order and turn around to do it.
Half an hour later, I saw Leng Banxian come out of the room, sweating profusely, smiling, wiping his hands that had just been washed, and said loudly to the county master,
"Congratulations to the master, I am happy to be a noble son! The lord is blessed with all the sky, and it is also the luck of the people of our county, the blessing of the people, haha!"
The county lord hurriedly caught up, holding each other with his hands, grateful,
"Fortunately, the miracle doctor, the hard work of the miracle doctor! Mr. life-saving grace, so that the subordinate is simply unable to repay - come, come, come, please rest next to you!"
After speaking, he stretched out his right hand to the living room next to him, nodded his head, and was respectful!
Leng Banxian was a little flattered when he saw this gift, and hurriedly took the county master's hand and said modestly,
"The lord is serious, hehe, Xiaomin is just doing his duty, how can he be gracious? should, should, you invite first, you first, you first, hehe-"
After the two of them pushed and gave in, they both walked into the living room, the county master was busy watching the tea, and the two sat down across the coffee table.
Only then did the county magistrate open his eyes and look at the person in front of him, with gray hair, a vigorous face, and a small beard, "Prisoner Divine Doctor!".
If it weren't for Mr. here today, my wife and children's lives would be in danger, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
As he spoke, he stood up again and bowed his hand to thank him, and continued,
"Xia Guan is really blind, ignorant and confused! There was a lot of offense in the lobby the day before yesterday, and he looked at Mr. Haihan, ashamed, ashamed-"
Leng Banxian also hurriedly got up and saluted back, saying,
"The lord is the parent of a county, loved by all people, above board, and enforces the law, how can he be offended?
When the words came to his mouth, the begging words that had been repeated thousands of times in his head before were about to come out of it, and suddenly stopped-
Leng Banxian suddenly realized that people were immersed in the joy of winning a noble son, wouldn't my request come for a purpose, affect people's mood, and sweep away people's interest?
So he quickly shut up, still smiling, and sat back in his chair after returning the salute.
The county magistrate looked at him as if he had something to say, and he guessed eight or nine in his heart, thinking, you saved the lives of my wife and children, and I should help you save an old man from a lawsuit.
So, he picked up the tea that the girl had just served, and saluted the other party, saying,
"Come, come, come, sir has worked hard, drink tea, drink tea! Xia Guan has asked Wu Ye to prepare a dinner, and he will definitely accompany Mr. to drink a few bowls tonight! Hahaha!"
When Leng Banxian heard this, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl, got up and waved his hand,
"The lord is joking, the little people are guilty people, how dare they drink with the lord, how dare they, how dare they - they can't do it, they can't do it!"
"Hey, Mr. is the life-saving benefactor of the lower officials, and there is no way to repay him, why not eat together and drink a few bowls together?
"Alas, this, this—the lord is really—it's really annoying to the little people! Thank you, thank you!"
"That Wu Ye is the cell leader, he has worked with the lower officials for many years, he has an old friendship, his surname is Wu, so he is called the fifth master, he usually has a violent temper, speaks loudly, plays with some guns, and is also very good! Take this opportunity, everyone gets acquainted, in the future, we will be friends and brothers, take care of each other, haha!"
This sentence came from the mouth of the county magistrate, which made the old man's heart feel warm. And I heard him,
"Mr. is a holy hand miracle doctor, saving countless people, such as the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, it is the great fortune of our county! Look at your appearance of the fairy wind bones, so virtuous and respected, all at this age, why are you still in a lawsuit? There must be another hidden secret?"
Seeing that Leng Banxian wanted to speak and stopped, the county magistrate directly mentioned the words!
"What I said in the hall before is not true, right? There is a child, what does it have to do with you? It is not true, right?"
Leng Banxian heard him say this, sighed and said,
"Alas, the child is the grandson of the little people, called Lingwa, and has depended on each other since childhood-alas, it's a long story-"
Seeing that the county master took the initiative to care about his lawsuit and offered to say it, it made the old man feel a little uneasy, and he still smiled and said,
"Okay, okay, today is the big day of the master, don't talk about business, don't talk about business-I wish the master and his family happiness and good luck!haha!"
Then he raised tea to salute, and the county magistrate also raised a bowl in return, and then said,
"Don't hide it from Mr., in fact, I have heard of the lawsuit between your two grandfathers - it has caused a lot of sensation in Wanlai Town, the power of the ten thousand families is huge, and the lower officials don't say it, Mr. should understand it——!!
This sentence points to the essence of Leng Banxian, I want you to be officials, the government and business are one, and they have been mixed into one family since ancient times;
He was still smiling, just drinking tea, listening carefully, not knowing what to say?
"Sir, don't worry, from now on, the matter of your grandfather is the business of the lower officials themselves, and the lower officials will definitely find a way to make everything better, and there is no need to worry about it - tonight we will drink a big bowl and eat a large piece of meat, haha!"
——
It wasn't until late in the evening that Leng Banxian was sent back to his cell by several servants.
Although he was not strong enough to drink, he knew that in the county master's house, he would be accompanied to the end when he was drunk!
After returning to the cell, he was in a dizzy uproar, vomiting up and down, and after tossing and turning, he gradually became a little conscious-
Of course, Lingwa couldn't sleep, and he was worried all afternoon, all night, wondering where his grandfather had gone? What did they tell him to do? I was a felon, and if I wanted to take it, I had to take it first? I wouldn't be going to be tortured, would he? He didn't just hand over his old life to them.
I thought that my grandfather was really beaten, and when I came back, I first exposed that door - collect money and don't do things for us - I let you use that money safely?!
However, when I came back, it turned out that I went to drink.
Lingwa was even more confused, could it be that there were relatives in the yamen? I had never heard of my grandfather talking about it? Did I only hear that the person who wanted to cut off his head could only drink a bowl of decapitated wine before he was executed? This is impossible, right?
Lingwa is puzzled?
After the old man's struggle, although he was drunk and understood, he was happy, and told Lingwa the news in a daze.
"Baby, now-yes-yes-there is salvation!really-God-God has eyes!I-I'll save the master-master, master-save us again-haha! now-good!ha-ha-"
When Lingwa heard this, she reacted, it turned out that they had called her grandfather to practice medicine! As soon as she heard that she was saved, she suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and thought, Wan Jinbao of Gou Ri, your brother is waiting - see how Lao Tzu will clean you up when he goes back?
The old man's commotion made the other people in the same cell wake up, but in view of the fact that Lingwa was sitting in the array, most of them were only annoyed.
"Do you want anyone to sleep?"
"Is there an end? What time is it?
——
Sure enough, the next day, the man came in with a smile, opened the big chain of Lingwa, replaced it with small shackles and leg shackles, and changed the two of them to a separate, clean cell, with beds and tables, like a room. And three meals a day are also special treatment, rice noodles, meat and vegetarian are available, all-you-can-eat and drink, better than eating at home!
The special care of the county lord once again moved the old man!
Soon, the prefectural verdict came down.
The official took the two of them to kneel down again to listen to the verdict, and the judge took the verdict and read it, and the result was that Lingwa was assigned to Da Lingshan for ten years of hard labor!
After receiving such a verdict, Lingwa's heart was half cold, and she thought to herself, this is still the end, and it will take ten years before she can go back to take revenge! Sure enough, it is a gentleman's revenge, and ten years is not too late! But who knows, what will it be like in ten years? I'm twenty-six or seventeen years old.
After returning to the cell, Leng Banxian was also heavy in his heart, and comforted Lingwa,
Ten years later, the baby will only be in her twenties, which is also the age of masculinity, and it is not too late!
Sad, I don't know that I want to cry again!
Lingwa is also worried, thinking without me, grandpa, how can you live?
"Don't worry, grandpa, I will find a way to come back, it will definitely not take ten years - believe me, I will come back soon to accompany you!"
"Since the county magistrate is willing to exempt you from the death penalty, you should take the guilt well, right? Don't be emotional and cause trouble! At my old age, I have lived enough, and if I leave, I can still be regarded as ascending to heaven, which may not be a good thing! Don't worry, listen to grandpa, don't make mistakes again, and bury your future!"
"Oh, oh, no, no-no-grandpa, don't worry, don't worry!"
——
The two were relatively speechless, the cell was unusually quiet, and an atmosphere of life and death was shrouded in it-
