Li Tao was still asleep, sleeping soundly. I was tortured by illness for a few days, exhausted, and it seemed that I would not wake up for a while. It's already night, and the two people who came over with the wine were sent back by me to report the news, maybe they will have to rest at Li's house tonight, and see Cheng Chu and Liang Jianfang, who have no intention of leaving, and a group of old generals outside also decided to stay overnight and stay overnight for Duke Ying. Qin Yu also came, and there were also many backbone soldiers in the army who were on duty during the day and could not leave.

Among them, there were two of Li Tao's old subordinates, without saying a word, they changed their full armor and held sharp blades, guarding the door of the back house. According to their words, they have followed Li Tao for many years, and they have fought in all directions, and they can't count the number of people they have killed, and they are so angry that they don't dare to enter the unclean things.

I peeked at the two goalkeepers behind the door, and they were mighty. The big blade was held in his hand, faintly reflecting the cold light, wave after wave, flickering. Yes, don't say that the ghosts don't dare to come in, I don't even dare to go out now.

Turning around and calling Cheng Chu, he instructed: "While they are preparing in the dormitory, you go to the front to summon the heir, and say that he needs to help him to cure the disease." ”

"Huh? Isn't there a little brother who will do it? Cheng Chu was stunned, and he didn't have a brain and loved to ask questions.

"Hurry up if you want to go, there's a lot of." I didn't say anything to Cheng Chu, just rushed that he could block in front of Liang Jianfang today to protect me, whether it was my student or not, I had to keep this feeling firmly in mind. It's not a matter of life and death, Cheng Chu is not afraid of death, everyone knows it, if thousands of troops save me, it's not strange; But in order to protect his friends, he did not hesitate to stand up and turn his face with his elders, especially his old comrades-in-arms, who were friends with his grandfather in life and death, which is commendable. "Go, use your brain in case of trouble, and I'll explain it to you later." He's not good at all, his brain is not too benzene, and the key is not very useful. I think that's that, it's more hands-on than brains, and it's better to dial more in the future.

Qin Yu is now the backbone of the young Zhuang faction in the army, and he belongs to a thriving category of people with a bright future. But after all, there are no direct elders in the family to support him, and there is still a layer of blood between him and Du Feng, although he is married to the Cheng family, these relationships seem to be ironclad. But at the critical moment, it is still possible to rely on it or not, and after all, there is no real relationship network compiled by himself.

What kind of person is Li Tao, although he resigned from military affairs, he is still the soul of the military, as long as the old man's comrades-in-arms are not dead, he is still the idol of the Tang army, not to mention that he is still half a teacher of several military bigwigs such as Su Dingfang, all of the Tang Dynasty. How many people are qualified to ask the emperor to push off the court and run away to the monk's temple to pray for blessings?

What a good opportunity, the young generals in the army, who have made countless meritorious contributions to the enemy outside the country, returned to Beijing to help the emperor exterminate the traitors in the DPRK, and now he is participating in the rescue of the first military strategist of the dynasty in the sick. Especially the last one, this person's favor is great. I can't tell how big it is, but from the emperor to the soldiers. The friendship of all sizes is somewhat touched, and there will be some accidents in the future, and there are not a few people who help.

Qin Yu was dressed in civilian clothes, and when he saw me, he saluted respectfully, "I've seen Brother Zihao, how is Gong Ying now?" ”

"They are preparing inside, and you can also go in and fight the handle, so I said that I specially called you to come and fight." Lanterns were hung in the back house. Li Tao's children and grandchildren and his wife are making preparations under the leadership of the two doctors, and hot water must always be supplied for the decoction of the medicine, because the wound is large, and they are afraid of bleeding during it, so they have several kinds of drugs at hand, and they have wrapped a few large blankets inside and outside the dormitory, for fear that the wound will be windy. Even the patient's meal is carefully prepared. If you wake up, you can eat hot mouths right away. "Wash your hands before you go," he said, gesturing to a wine gourd over there. "After washing, rub it twice with wine before going in." Today, this liquor showed its face, not only to help cool down, but also to replace the aged vinegar and prickly plum water at my strong request, and became a new land disinfectant.

Qin Yu understood, arched his hand at me again, and did the disinfection steps as I told to help. Cheng Chu was about to follow in, but I grabbed him, "We've been busy for a day, so let's rest here and have less fun." ”

"Oh," Cheng Chu felt that I was understanding him, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's okay, my little brother didn't do any work, and he wasn't tired." ”

"Yes!" I shook my hand and gave him a black tiger heart, "Just sit here!" Let's go in when the meeting is ready," the spring night is still cold, and the courtyard is a little unable to sit still, "Let's go, talk in the wing, and tell me about the situation in your army." ”

Liang Jianfang was closing his eyes in the wing room, and he could see that the old man was still a little apprehensive, and his eyelids jumped and jumped. When he heard the two of us coming in, he didn't open his eyes, and asked, "Boy from the Wang family, do you have a chance to win after a while?" ”

"No, I don't ...... much" I don't have much in my heart, after all, the old man's age is there, and today's test subjects are all young people, "just do your best, there is no other way." ”

"Oh," Liang Jianfang nodded, "That's the only way, this incident started because of the old man, if Old Li is not dead, the old man will live to the limit." It doesn't matter if I go, I have eight granddaughters at home, so I will entrust ......"

"Don't," isn't it six? Why are there two more? "Don't, Grandpa Liang, don't worry, even if you fight for the kid's life, you have to do your best to save Grandpa Li."

"Yes, okay." Liang Jianfang nodded, "That means that the old man's eight granddaughters are gone." It's a pity, what a grandson-in-law, in the future, I will come to my husband's house to meet my granddaughters, they are all good girls, especially the old seven and eight are twins, and they spent the full moon together two days ago, not only Shu, Zhen, Xian, and Virtuous, but they all look very good. ”

"......" I looked back at Cheng Chu, who was grinning, and there was a kind of ** who wanted to beat people. This is an out-and-out old scumbag in front of him, and he should be classified as a general, but I am excluded from doing this in my heart, if one day I can blow up this old dog's head, how refreshing!

Just thinking about it, Qin Yu came to call us over, and we were all ready to carry out maggot surgery. The nursing home sent by Lanling had not left yet, and was taking care of a bunch of white surgeons alone in a conservatory, very conscientious.

"Let's start," Liang Jianfang was a little nervous, and personally brought a chair to guard the side of the hospital bed. Everyone else went out, and there were seven people in the room, including Li Tao's eldest son, and two doctors were watching me all the time, as I asked. Wipe the wound several times with wine, and put a thick blanket under the leg. Old man Liang personally counted forty whole quantities and sprinkled them on the wound, sitting on one side just to block the light from the wound site. Maggots are tired of light, and there is a large amount of food in the shadows, which I deliberately arranged.

Maybe it can be done, I'm a little unsure and cranky. Old Man Li was still asleep, his expression was peaceful. The eldest son was still repeatedly wiping with wine to cool down, and the fat doctor sat on the edge of the bed, his hand on Li Tao's pulse motionless, like an electrocardiogram machine, and the thin man went in and out lightly to take care of the medicine, in order to ensure that the pungent smell of medicine would not affect the activity of maggots, I suggested that they try to make the smell of medicine in the room as little as possible, which is also good for me, a person with strong drug aversion.

Qin Yu saw this therapy for the first time. The expression is indescribably weird, frowning and looking at me from time to time, it is estimated that he is in a very complicated mood at the moment, and I don't have time to explain to him.

It's a little different from the daytime, and maggots don't seem to have energy. The amount of food plummeted, and Liang Jianfang was a little anxious, and after asking for my opinion, he counted twenty small sprouts and sprinkled them on it. May be the cause of long-term dressing around the wound. Maggots don't like these condiments very much.

"The pulse is stable," the fat doctor signaled to Li Tao's eldest son that he could stop cooling down for the time being, "just open the two windows on the upper entrance and take a blanket to cover the wind, the room is a little stuffy." ”

Cheng Chu was a little unaccustomed to the solemn atmosphere in the room, and quietly went out to breathe, I gave Qin Yu a look, and motioned for him to go out with me. After all, too much oxygen is consumed by more people, no? Patient's sleep.

"It's going well in the army, right?" It was a bit cold in the yard, but the air was fresh and it was refreshing to take a few deep breaths.

"En," Qin Yu nodded, "If you make a move in the north this year, the junior brother may have to be transferred to Jiannan." Over there, there are Tubo and Nanzhao. It's a bit of a stretch. ”

"Jiannan, I'm afraid the people of Beiling didn't adapt to it in the past, right?" Relative to the humid climate of Jiannan. The people of Guanzhong have more or less unaccustomed reactions.

"Brother Zihao, don't worry, the younger brother often runs north and south, and he will adapt to it." Since returning from the frontier, Qin Yu's confidence in his abilities has increased greatly, although his words are still humble, but his words reveal the confidence of a soldier. "Tubo won't make big moves in Jiannan, his goal is Tuguhun, and Nanzhao is a variable. This year, the imperial court has taken action against Nanzhao, and small military disasters are still inevitable. ”

"It's okay, it's just a matter of separation, the various ministries of Nanzhao will not be together, and the court will not ask him to sit big, there will always be suppression, and the pressure on Jiannan will not be too great." On this topic, I have discussed with Lanling no less than ten times, and I also have a complete grasp of the information of various ministries of Nanzhao. They have adapted to the local climate and geography, and if they talk about combat effectiveness, it is not enough for the time being. "After catching their contradictions, it is better to let the various departments keep fighting among themselves."

"Junior brother also has this idea," Qin Yu nodded, "The imperial court is a little impatient, if you are in a hurry to support a force to come out, seeing that it is sitting big, you are worried about raising tigers." ”

"It still needs to be supported, but it is not a force," Nanzhao is now pro-Tibetan, and must support a pro-Tang force to come out to contain it, once the pro-Tang part sits large, it will immediately support a hostile force to come out and let it have internal friction. "Step by step, as long as it is well controlled, Nanzhao will not be a mortal threat."

was chatting with Qin Yu, Cheng Chu came over to interrupt, "Brother Zihao, can you teach the younger brother the method of raising and training maggots?" During military training, it is inevitable that there will be bumps, and the wounds are easy to pus in hot weather, and the soldiers are often disabled because of this. ”

"I can't see the way when I run at me all day long, train a fart!" Others say that training is excusable, your Cheng family eats eggs and turns into countless eggs, and they also come to learn to practice maggots, which is too unusual. "Just feed the maggots to the chickens, grab a handful, what do you teach?"

"Then why can it distinguish good rotten meat, and still pick the arch?" Cheng Chu's question was profound, I couldn't answer, Qin Yu also showed curiosity when he heard this, waiting for me to explain.

"That's a long story, maggot, why does it know?" I glanced back at them, "because it already knows." ”

"Cut!" Cheng Chu learned enough of my appearance and despised it. "That's even simpler, the younger brother is even exempt from raising, and when he uses it, he goes directly to Brother Zihao to ask for it."

"Hehe......" Qin Yu patted Cheng Chu on the shoulder, "We can use it ourselves." How many soldiers are there in the whole army? Everyone will inevitably have bumps, and when the time comes, they will let Brother Dezhao ask for it, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it, right? ”

"Hey, yes." Cheng Chu scratched his head with a smirk, "Little brother go in and take a look at the situation." ”

As he was talking, Liang Jianfang came running. "All go in, Old Man Li has woken up and called you to go." As he spoke, he pulled me in, and Cheng Chu and Qin Yu followed closely behind.

Li Tao stuffed a pillow behind his back, and was looking at the little creature on his lap, and the eldest son was feeding the old man water on the side. The old man smiled weakly when he saw me coming in, and said hoarsely: "Zihao has put a lot of thought into it, and the old man has thanked him." ”

I smiled. He didn't speak, but looked down at the wound, the maggot was already much fatter, and the fine flesh inside was faintly visible, and a small crater had appeared. I feel more relieved, looking at the old man's appearance is not like returning to the light, I heard the old man say, people don't feel thirsty when they return to the light. He was just noisily trying to eat, and his face was ruddy and refreshed. Old Man Li's face is still pale, weak, and still sick.

"You'd better just rest. Don't talk, don't put your mind to it, don't look at these things on your legs, you can relax tomorrow morning. The fat doctor saw that the old man had the intention of asking. Hurry up to stop it, "If you can't sleep, you have to close your eyes and recuperate," he said and touched the old man's ear, signaling the eldest son to continue to cool down, "It's still a little hot, drink more water." ”

Li Tao listened to the doctor's words, glanced at Liang Jianfang, and smiled weakly. scolded: "Old goods, kill talents." He closed his eyes and rested.

"Okay," Liang Jianfang clapped his hands excitedly, "The old thing knows how to scold people, and he can't die." ”

"Get out!" Li Tao didn't open his eyes, "Get away." He said to his son: "Go, I went to arrange a rest, it's so late." Don't drag everyone down for me, an old immortal. ”

"Hey, hey." Liang Jianfang laughed dryly, "You just lie down." Toss all day. It's going to be a little hungry, so the old man goes to find food by himself. With that, he walked out, looking more energetic.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that the rotten meat on Li Tao's legs was picked up, and the fat surgeon was swept to the plate, and Liang Jianfang, who was full of food and drink, counted it twice, "Sixty, that's right!" He touched it lightly on a wound as big as the mouth of the small bowl, "Today is the opening of the eyes, and it will take three or four hours before and after......

"I'll see." Without waiting for the doctor to take the medicine, Mr. Li supported his body hard, I hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit up, Li Tao looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's still it, hehe......"

"Let the old man go to sleep quickly, everyone go out," the fat doctor hurriedly came over and pulled me away, still letting Li Tao lie down, "You have to rest more and try not to move." ”

Seeing that the doctor who was thin was about to take wine to scrub the affected area, I quickly stopped it and explained: "You can't wash it, the mucus on it helps the wound heal, you can't wash it immediately, it's not too late for the scab to form." "The discovery program has explained that this maggot secretion has a miraculous curative effect.

"Well, don't move, listen to the Wang family's boy's placement." Liang Jianfang immediately interjected, he now has confidence in me, "How to do it, I have to ask him first." He turned his face and asked me, "What should I do next?" ”

"Come down ......" I haven't eaten for a day, and I feel very hungry when I put my heart down, and my stomach is empty and uncomfortable, "Come down and let the old man rest, let's go out to eat something, I can't stand the hunger." ”

I rested at Li's house that day, and when I opened my eyes, it was already past noon, Qin Yu had already rushed to the army, Cheng Chu and Liang Jianfang were learning martial arts in the courtyard, it seemed that the old man wanted to avenge yesterday's revenge, Cheng Chu was at a loss, and was beaten by others.

"How is Old Man Li? It's almost back, right? I stood at the door and stretched, "Grandpa Liang got up early." ”

"You can't be left by others," Liang Jianfang caught up with Cheng Chu and made up for a kick on his buttocks, before he felt relieved, "Let you be disrespectful, your grandfather is not in front of you, and your own old man will discipline you." ”

"I got up early and ate some food, the heat has almost subsided, and I just fell asleep again." Liang Jianfang grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat, "You have been wronged for a few days," pulled Cheng Chu, who was rubbing his buttocks, and said, "Let this kid accompany you here, in case there is a recurrence, it will be treated in time." If you want to take care of the old man's eight granddaughters, you can go back now. ”

"Ah......" I waved my hand, "the kid must be deadly, definitely!" As he spoke, he quickly washed his face and went into the dormitory to visit the patient. Liang Jianfang, the old man, can avoid it as much as possible, from the first time I saw him, I felt that this old guy was not a good person, sure enough!

I have been in the Li family for three days, and I can't get involved in anything, except for playing maggots is an expert, my knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine only stays in the range of 35 yuan a pound of gastrodia, and I went on a business trip to southern Shaanxi and carried it twice for others. The two doctors were no longer nervous, and as soon as they calmed down, they talked a lot, and they were both very talkative, and they were very interested in the breeding and legendary training of this surgical maggot, and came to exchange knowledge with me from time to time.

Since the breeding method has been disclosed for a long time, there is no intention to hide it, so I want to say that. Not only doctors, but also Li and Liang, the two old commanders, also saw the use, especially Lao Liang, who openly threatened me in front of Li Tao that I would not be allowed to spread this method and promote it in his 'Zuo Wuwei'.

"What are you capable of bullying a doll?" Li Tao couldn't see it, although his body was still weak, he already had a neutral qi when he spoke, and said unevenly: "How are you domineering in your 'Left Martial Guard', and there is no reason to coerce the manpower of the 'Right Martial Guard', what is the side?" ”

"I'll transfer him to my side tomorrow!" After Li Tao recovered, the two old men immediately started to fight again, "There are people who spoil talents in the 'Right Guard', such a baby doesn't know......" turned his head and asked me, "What kind of official position are you?" ”

"......" is unlucky, I want to die.
