Chapter 6 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the serious is in prison

Section 1: Serious visits the bandits' den for the first time

In view of the fact that when Seriousness went to the Hongmen banquet of the Yingnu gang, he behaved like a steel needle, rather than bend, and in view of the seriousness who spared no effort in the reversal of the Zheng Deming murder case, he did not show them mercy at all, seeing that the power of the old Yao County Order was out of reach and could not be caught up with at the moment, they couldn't see the soft ones, and they didn't dare to be tough on the serious ones under the nose of the Guixian Order, so they brought a message to the bandit nest leader of the White Tiger Hall who had always had interests with them, so that the serious world disappeared. Let everything be done as if it was seriously kidnapped and killed by bandits, leaving no flaws. Of course, they also told them not to reveal them and sell them. It's really not good, but also let the serious body see the wounds, and give him some real color.

At present, Zheng Zheng has taken on several other relatively trivial civil loan and family cases, and needs to go back and forth between Dache Shop and Aihui City repeatedly.

Seriousness is a lone brave. He didn't have any assistants to help him. He also needed a right-hand man like Mahan and his party, who guarded him like a hussar general, or who could be able to make moves for him like a military advisor.

For a private loan case, he came to the riverside of Aihui City on the other bank alone, went to a "Zhao family restaurant" to have some food, and then set off from here to Aihui City.

Because the food in the Zhao family's restaurant is clean, the boss and his men seem to be people who keep to themselves, and every time he goes to Aihui City, he has to work hard in the Zhao family's restaurant. The restaurant is located in the middle of a main street, and there is a plaque on the lintel that reads "Zhao's Restaurant", which is a red sign on a black lacquered wooden board. Several large red-painted columns prop up the outer edge of the restaurant. Under the eaves at the entrance of the restaurant, two lanterns are hung symmetrically, and the huge character "Zhao" is written on them.

On the right hand side of the restaurant is the counter of the shopkeeper. When business is good, the crisp sound of the account room dialing the abacus comes from the restaurant. On the wall behind the counter, there is a porcelain vase that belongs to the color of the road, the bottle is painted with graceful but slightly tacky peony flowers, and in the center of the wall is a variety of ceramic wine jars, with red paper pasted on the wine cans, and "Daughter Red", "Du Kang Wine", "Bamboo Leaf Green", "Burning Knife", "Flower Carving", "Lao Baigan" and so on are written with a brush.

There is a bamboo pot on the table, and more than a dozen pairs of bamboo chopsticks are inserted in the can.

There is a door inside and behind it is the kitchen. The smell of cooking fumes, smoke and the smell of food wafted outside.

When you enter the door seriously, there is only one table without guests. It seems that there are quite a lot of customers today. He didn't notice that one of the "guests" sitting at a table was glancing at him with his squinted eyes, with a stack of peanuts and a small bowl of wine in front of him, looking at ease and unrelated to everything.

This is exactly one of the spies sent by the White Tiger Hall. If it is a poker game, the cards in the serious hand are already clearly seen by the opponent. They know the rules and habits of serious actions, and they know the purpose of serious travel.

The spy waited until he had finished ordering his meal, and then he slowly went out the door, untied a horse parked outside the door, and galloped away.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, bandits often resorted to sacks and sticks to rob "scattered" targets. However, this has to be done in a place where no one else can see it.

Serious was now a lamb to the slaughter, but he had no premonition at all, until the man at the restaurant, with a cloth in the shape of a lock, stealthily approached Serious, waved the lock at him, and then quietly walked away as if nothing had happened.

When I chatted with the guys in the big car shop, I often heard them mention "locks", which is synonymous with bandits.

Serious is not a particularly intelligent person. He was eating with his head down, still thinking about the case in his heart.

It seemed that all of a sudden—like a person with a delayed reflex after a knee tap—was serious and understood, and the hotel guy was reminding him that the person who had just gone out might be a "lock".

There is not much turbulence in the serious heart. There wasn't much fear.

He knows very well that he belongs to the kind of person who has a "head iron". The more others don't let him do what he recognizes, the more he wants to do it. When he was a child, the neighbors in the village and his parents played poker during the Chinese New Year, and he was able to cry for an hour. He thinks gambling is just wrong.

However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have any concerns.

The bandits of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty, no matter where they were, were just trying to eat a full meal. Natural and man-made disasters, the people do not have enough to eat, they think that it is better to carry a person on his head and risk being caught and killed at any time to be a bandit than to eat wild vegetables and gnaw tree bark.

Some of these bandits have their own homes, and when they are not bandits, they return to their homes to farm, and when the bandits are "called", they go up the mountain to become bandits. If you don't have your own home, find a common person's home to engage in "gangsters".

Readers who don't understand can Baidu on their own, what is called "gangster". To put it simply, it is the bandits who "occupy the magpie's nest", not only eating and drinking by relying on other people's husbands, but also taking other people's wives.

Seriously feel that this shameful "system" is really only thought of in the minds of those whose ancestors are surnamed Wang and crawled out of the eggshell.

Out of gratitude, he nodded solemnly to the guy and the shopkeeper.

However, I still want to try it out in earnest. They can't be scared like that.

After eating seriously and settling the account, he nodded to the shopkeeper, left the restaurant, and firmly got into the carriage to Aihui City.

After the spies of the bandits' den returned to the bandits' den to report the news, they immediately caught up with the other two bandits in a rare place for passers-by in Aihui City.

Usually, the White Tiger Hall rarely "robs the road", because those wealthy officials and businessmen know about the existence of the White Tiger Hall, so they rarely take this road with valuable goods with great fanfare. Their common method is to burglary and "eat the rich".

Serious heard the sound of several horses whistling behind him, and he was very calm.

A few bandits did not put sacks on them and beat them with sticks as they imagined, but politely and solemnly after dismounting.

"Our big boss invited Mr. Yan to come to the cottage to discuss important matters."

The people and horses of the White Tiger Hall, not to mention hundreds, there are still one or two hundred. If you talk about the number of people, the White Tiger Hall will not be afraid of the hundreds of people in the yamen. The most important thing is that the White Tiger Hall has guns and horses, the guns are spears, hunting iron guns, and even an artillery, while the men and horses of the Yamen are only equipped with bows, arrows, swords, swords, and halberds.

Therefore, although the White Tiger Hall has hooked up with the gang of Mao Yingnu, they usually disobey the bandits above, and the White Tiger Hall also gives them benefits, but the people of the White Tiger Hall also know that they can see the wind and steer the rudder, and if they don't do things too well, in case the White Tiger Hall is wiped out one day, they can also leave a way back for themselves.

In the dream of Red Mansions, Qin Keqing asked Wang Xifeng to dream, "Buy more acres of land near Zuqi to buy a grange of houses and acres for sacrifice...... fell into defeat, and his children and grandchildren went home to study and farm, and there was also a regression...... "But there are people in the world who can't even compare to Qin Keqing's wisdom." Some people who hold a lot of power or only have a little power often have the illusion of playing games and leveling up, feeling that they are omnipotent, and their power tree is evergreen. They often make the most of every penny of their power. If anyone stands in their way, he is in the way of their wealth. For example, Mao Yingnu, who used to be a dog of Yao County's order, now pretends to be a dragon in Aihui City, with no one in his eyes, and he will report it.

The White Tiger Hall treats Seriousness with courtesy, which makes Seriousness know that there must be another mystery in this. Things are bound to turn out for the better.

He was not stubborn, and followed these bandits to the mountain where the bandits' den was located.

The White Tiger Hall is located on the top of a steep hill surrounded by water on three sides, like a playing card.

From the base of the mountain, there is only one very narrow path. On both sides of the road, it is overgrown with weeds and trees of varying heights. When you walk halfway up the mountain, it seems to be suddenly enlightened, there is an "S" shaped stone road, leading to the highest point of the cottage, from here, also built around the whole cottage, the city wall made of stones, on the city wall, every other section has a battlement, at the top, it may also be where the bigwigs of the cottage live, behind a battlement, a cannon is placed.

Serious is first taken to a stone room where the "fat pigs" (abducted people) are being held. The room is small, because the cottage is built on the mountain, the floor of the room is sloping, and the walls are not painted in any way, they are all abrupt stones. There was a small window in the room, and one of the bandits handed the water to Serious, and said:

"Please Mr. Yan take a break, our boss said that he will see you later."

Serious closed his eyes and rested for a while, he didn't know why the bandit leader would treat him politely.

After a while, Serious was led by a bandit to the highest part of the cottage, which was the next room with a cannon at the battlement.

The walls of this room are painted on all four sides, and the floor is not inclined like the small room where the "fat pig" was held just now, the room has a large kang, and there are several ceramic wine jars and cups on the entry table, and behind the table is a red lacquered Taishi chair that I don't know where to go, and a Siberian tiger skin is spread on the back of the chair. The big boss of the White Tiger Hall sat on the chair.

The name of the big boss is Guan Hu. If you haven't seen the big boss yet, you will listen to the big boss's loud voice and "reprimand" the little boss around you:

"Yes, why didn't you say it earlier? What are you eating, sir! ”

Seeing Serious follow a bandit into the house, Guan Hu stood up:

"Oops, offended, offended! Mr. Yan! ”

Serious felt somewhat flattered:

"Brother Guan is polite, thank you for looking up to me as an unknown junior."

Guan Hu laughed hahaha, like a wolf looking at a lamb before it was ready to eat it, looking up and down solemnly.

"Mr. Yan is serious, it should be us vulgar people, not in the eyes of you knowledgeable people."

Guan Hu suddenly had a blank face, and threw a "proposition" to the serious:

"What does Mr. Yan think of our group of robbers?"

Serious and defenseless, and I don't know what the true face of this big boss is, and how to say it so as not to anger him.

"The cause of the eldest brother is to rob the rich and help the poor (note: robbing the rich is real, but helping the poor is not), if in ancient times, the great hero who raised the banner of righteousness to save the common people and changed the dynasty was you.

The court does not treat the people well, and the people will not treat the court well. What is the cause of your abandonment of your wives and children? It's not that the court is corrupt, the people are not happy, and it is really helpless to eat a full meal.

Besides, you are also going for those ill-gotten gains. Ordinary people, you don't start.

Therefore, as far as I can see, you are better than those officials who eat imperial grain and occupy the land and money of the common people, I don't know how many times. ”

Guan Hu listened with a serious face, and laughed from time to time when he heard the refreshing place.

"What I think coincides with my sir!"

So he laughed again. There is a kind of light on his face that is like that of a child after being praised by his parents.

"I didn't expect Mr. to think like this, it's really a rare person!"

This is the first time that Zheng Zheng has come to the White Tiger Hall, and the first time he has intersected with Guan Hu.

This time to the White Tiger Hall, seriousness seems to have won Guan Hu's "little fan brother". seriousness relied on his sincerity in exchange for Guan Hu's trust and heart-to-heart. Guan Hu ordered his subordinates to serve wine and food, and talked all night for a long time.

Section 2 Artemisinin

Doing this seriously is nothing more than having to bow his head under other people's roofs for a while, picking up some words that bandits like to hear, on the other hand, this is also his true emotional outpouring, without much pretentiousness. As a person who has studied law, he genuinely believes that part of the crime problem can be attributed to social injustice. Yes, the law should be on the side of the majority, but the suffering of a small number of people, and the sources that cause it, is generally beyond the reach of the majority and will not bother to take care of it. If 60 percent of the people are forced to go up the mountain and are called grass cowards, then there is a high probability that the society will be inclined to call for reflection on the root cause of this forced people to go to Liangshan, and if only a small number of people are like this, then most people in the society will not "sink" their butts and sit in the position of bandits to think, and the ideas held by these people are instilled in them by others, and you tell them to believe what they believe.

He couldn't help but be shocked by the fortifications built by the White Tiger Hall and the guns in the hands of the bandits. Although this is a miscellaneous card among miscellaneous cards, it cannot be ruled out that Baihutang deliberately put it on display, and it is not even possible to know if their long guns and short cannons have enough bullets and shells, but their strength is enough to compete with the armed forces of a county yamen. And if they are surrendered, they will be able to deal with the strength of the snail army.

Even if you are as smart as a tiger and play a balancing act between the three parties, betting on both the loser and the winner, if the strategy is right, it can be used to fight against aggression.

This is an "ecological" network of coexistence composed by officials, bandits, people, and even invading foreigners, which merge with each other and contain each other. The law and justice that emerge from this ecology cannot but bear its imprint.

"" is a popular custom among the people at this time. This name originated from the scene where a horse-drawn carriage could not move and then a horse could make the carriage move forward. When the husband is disabled, seriously ill, and unable to work, the wife finds another man and asks him to work and take care of the family. Such a three-person "combination" is a gangster.

Bandits indiscriminately, even if the bandits have lived for a period of time and have "feelings", they can still send some silver taels to the "home" after going up the mountain, which is also unacceptable to the ethics of normal people.

However, if the husband is unable to work, and the family is facing a situation of lack of cooking and bankruptcy, and another man voluntarily "pulls a gang" in order to support their family, it should be treated differently.

Please do not think of yourself as noble. Because people who tend to look at others with low morals are often not noble themselves. Nobleness, as a virtue, must be based on "love". We have seen countless people who claim to be "noble" who are nothing more than a little benevolent as a person and a high person, and "noble" as a "merit" that needs to be seen, praised, and "quantified".

This question, if you get the free-thinking France, it is estimated that it may appear in the French college entrance examination essay questions, and the answer may also be a hundred flowers.

Probably, China is a country that thinks about social order, and France is a country that thinks about "people".

The law is not the truth. However, the law should have the "transcendence" of truth.

The law only summarizes and prohibits the most intolerable acts in society. So, the law is the lowest morality. Nevertheless, law is still intrinsically and inextricably linked to morality.

This minimum moral outlook should also embody the purpose of "love". If the gods had spirits, they would not have been "reincarnated in suffering," and they would not have let the suffering end, and the wicked would not have been in their place.

Don't think of yourself as a defender of the truth.

Ordinary people can't run a hundred meters in Usain Bolt, their ears can only hear 20-20,000 hertz, their eyes can only see 400-700 nanometers of light, they can't see infrared ultraviolet rays, and people's noses can only smell thousands of flavors.

How can a "human being" with such limitations be expected to find the truth on his own.

Therefore, those who shout that it is unethical to see "two men and one woman" should polish their eyes and evaluate this issue again.

It's not just "pragmatism". Indeed, this second man saved the family from falling apart and her husband from dying of illness and starvation. However, this should not be the whole lens from which this question is viewed.

What is the true meaning of love?

Love and marriage are not only

oma

CE is not just the secretion of hormones. Love is also a commitment between husband and wife to work together for a lifetime and take care of each other.

In exceptional cases, note that only in exceptional cases - the husband is unable to fulfill his conjugal duties and his duty to take care of the family, if the introduction of a second, able-bodied man, is solely for the fulfillment of this duty of mutual support, it is entirely conducive to the fulfillment of the purpose of marriage, and not the other way around.

After physicist Stephen Hawking contracted ALS, his wife did the same. Although judging from the details, his wife completely rejected this arrangement at first, and the other man who loved her and pursued her was guarded for a long time.

A serious marriage and family case involved "gang pulling". The difference is that the seriously ill husband insists that his wife find a "gangster" man, and his wife refuses. So, he forced his wife to do so through legal means.

If the law is based on the rule that the law should allow the public to accept customs, the "gang set" should be fully recognized by the Qing Dynasty law.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, malaria occurred from time to time among the people. Because of the wide range of people he came into contact with, and the level of medicine at that time was low, he was also infected with malaria.

After contracting malaria, Zheng couldn't go out for several days, so he lay in the dormitory of the big car shop. Sometimes shivering, sometimes high fever, general fatigue, sometimes vomiting incessantly. The owner of the big car shop asked someone to look for herbal medicine for treatment in Aihui City, but his condition was still good and bad.

Seriousness is not very clear about the pharmacology of Chinese medicine. But he once shared a house with a group of people who graduated from a university of traditional Chinese medicine.

This kind of fate allowed him to also see some of the fur of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, Chinese medicine college students have indeed studied human anatomy, and they need to memorize a lot of prescriptions in order not to fail the course.

When it comes to the comparison between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, it is seriously believed that Western medicine can treat diseases by means of visual observation and experimental verification. For example, antibiotics can interfere with the physiological functions and biochemical metabolism of pathogenic microorganisms to produce antibacterial effects. But serious is wondering, why do antibiotics do this? Are the pharmaceutical R&D companies of Western medicine constantly trying their luck by putting together chemical elements and combining them into compounds? So, are they really aware of the exact mechanism of action of compounds that are selected to treat a certain disease (or that can treat one disease but happens to be able to treat another, such as minoxidil solution, which was originally used for peripheral vasodilation, and has been shown to treat male hair loss). If they don't understand, does it mean that they didn't develop according to the process of finding compounds according to the mechanism of the disease, the search for the means to treat the disease?

However, for traditional Chinese medicine, it is seriously believed that the simple trust of the common people comes from the fact that traditional Chinese medicine does have therapeutic effects in many common diseases. However, as with Western medicine, there are cases where the true mechanism of action is not clear.

So, in his opinion, there is no superiority that one medicine is better than another.

The news that Mr. Tu Youyou invented artemisinin is serious and seen on the Internet. He happened to talk to his roommate. So this guy told him very professionally how artemisinin was extracted, and the seriousness happened to be crooked, although only half of the two ears were listening, but he remembered the process of artemisinin extraction.

Now, he has malaria himself, is this a kind of fate?

Lying in bed seriously, the very tired body and mind seemed to see a little light. He wasn't so excited, and he didn't have the savior complex that some people have. He knew that, theoretically, it was possible to extract artemisinin, but where did he get the resources to do it in this backward wilderness? Not to mention, it is not a simple matter to gain the trust of others and not let them call him crazy.

It is impossible to drag the sick body to collect medicine and extract it. Because of his physical discomfort, he really didn't even feel a little happy. Although the body and the spirit are separated, what he feels at this time is that the physical pain makes him extremely uncomfortable mentally. Or is the spirit also material and physical?

Serious still couldn't wait to tell Boss Ma what he thought. Boss Ma shook his head and looked at him with pity, feeling that he had a fever for several days, and he was afraid that his brain was burned.

When I feel better intermittently, I begin to think about this seriously in earnest. The first thing is to go to Jilin to pick Artemisia annua. Then I went to a church hospital in Jilin that provided free medical treatment to see if there was any ether.

I can't understand some literary works, why people who have ancestral Chinese medicine keep the "secret recipe" that can save people's lives secret. Bandits can't rob it, and the Japanese army can't "borrow" it, how did they put together the image of a benevolent doctor who hangs a pot to help the world and the behavior of holding a secret recipe and not telling the world? Don't you feel like a split personality?

Therefore, he felt that he did not need to do this matter himself, and that there was no harm to him in distinguishing some glory and merit from others, as long as it was beneficial to society.

Through selfish means, it is better to make as many people as possible "grateful" than to be a businessman who only speaks for profit and does not speak of righteousness.

Seriously's condition was a little better, so he hurriedly asked for leave at the big car shop, said goodbye to Boss Ma, and got on the mule cart and hit the road.

Boss Ma was worried about his condition, worried that he would have no one to take care of him on the road, and once his condition was serious and the consequences were unimaginable, he tried his best to keep him. However, in order to cure the disease that has killed countless people at this moment, time waits for no one, so I can't take care of Boss Ma's persuasion, and I still go on the road.

Due to the ravages of malaria, even the Russian army did not come to harass this time. However, God did not treat them badly, and some of them were also infected with malaria and were hiding in their nests.

Serious, along the way, he still didn't suppress his condition. Fever for a while, chills for a while, vomiting and diarrhea for a while, he is used to it, and he has experienced it over and over again. However, the need to relieve his hands over and over again in the field really made him feel very embarrassed. He suddenly felt that the great migration of human beings was not so magnificent and exciting, and the reason why they were able to move over large distances was that their shame was dulled.

There are more coniferous forests in the mountains of the northeast, which is different from the bamboo forests in his hometown where the mountains are often scattered for several kilometers. The bamboo forest is like a sea undulating with the wind, and the emerald green color has given him countless beautiful reveries in his childhood. The mountains in the northeast have more stones, and the color of the taiga is not so bright, which gives him a slightly oppressive feeling. Due to the geographical location of the Northeast, the sunlight is slightly southerly and not so intense, and Serious feels as if he wakes up from a nap in his hometown and sees the afternoon sun, there is a feeling of misty and unreal. It was early summer, and the mountains in the northeast had recovered, and he could often see people picking mushrooms and herbs on the road.

There are people who seem to know everything, and they are talkative and seem to have traveled to many places and have a lot of knowledge. When I was serious in elementary school, I secretly admired a classmate. Although he won the first place in every grade, and that classmate was not a top student, he told him in front of him that the flowers planted at home - peonies, peonies, trumpet flowers, and jasmine flowers - were the first words, which made Serious feel extremely envious.

One guy told Serious what Artemisia annua looked like. Seriousness recorded them one by one on paper, and made a picture according to his description, and let him confirm that it was correct. That's what reassures Serious.

After some bumps, it seems that the serious condition has gotten better again, but this is only an intermittent improvement. He did not dare to slack off, and came to this hospital in Jilin in a hurry, "Shi Hospital", that is, a hospital that "gave alms" for free.

It is already the season of early summer, and the fields and wilderness are full of life and freedom as if they were under the pressure and cover of winter snow and bitter cold. Almost at the same time as in the south, seedlings had been planted in the rice fields, the corn stalks were already half a man's height, and the soybean seedlings were accumulating nutrients for the future flowering period. Seeing the shacks that appeared from time to time in the fields, he asked what the mule cart was for. The mule cart driver told him that this was the melon planter's melon shed.

The melon shack here is generally far away from the village, so as not to feed the livestock in the village, and to avoid the idle people stealing the melons. This kind of melon shelter is generally relatively simple and crude - the four corners are supported by four thick wooden sticks, connected by a long wooden stick, and covered with thatched grass on all sides. In particular, in the lower part of the melon shed, there is also a wooden board, which is used to stack farm tools for hoeing seedlings or watermelons, melons and other sundries.

Looking at these melon sheds seriously, the feeling of missing my hometown arises spontaneously.

If life is meaningful, it must be realized and discovered when it is pursued. You ignore it, and it ignores you.

Therefore, when people reach middle age, they usually only think about the carefree beauty of childhood for a moment, which is like a person who is accustomed to drinking bitter coffee, only thinking about the mellow aroma and long aftertaste of coffee, and not greedy for rough and pure sweet sugar cubes.

You can't open your eyes in your forties and suddenly find yourself still lying on the bamboo bed in the watermelon field of your hometown to watch the melon shed, so that your childhood will stand still and all the good childhood memories will be frozen. It is his duty to go through the baptism of middle age that everyone else has experienced, to be busy with his livelihood like a spinning top, to embrace all the small blessings, to encounter the ups and downs of life like a bow at the beginning, like a full bow and finally turning into a weak rubber band, and a life that he cannot escape from until he can hold his hair and leave the earth.

However, even those little good memories filled his chest in an instant, and he felt that his childhood had made such a good start, and God would not treat him badly in the future.

In his hometown, spring begins when willow sticks poke out their buds and thatch grows one by one in the fields that can be eaten. Bees are constantly taking off and landing, staying and flying away from the rape flowers, and sometimes the Chinese cabbage pickled by the villagers before winter may be its fragrance, which also attracts countless bees to gather.

When the rape flowers bloom as far as the eye can see, it is already the peak season of spring. At the foot of the mountain, there are a few azaleas scattered around, although they are not all over the mountains, they seem to be in moderation, and you can always see a few flowers when you walk a few steps. This faint purple, with just a little bit of it, seems to be able to decorate a large area of the mountains. Among all the flowers, she must be the most eye-catching and moving. The magnificent purple of the milk vetch flowers in the farmland seems to be a little uncomfortable, because this purple is a little too thick and exaggerated, and the thick smell of the flowers and the fragrance of the branches of the water and spirit go straight to the door of people's heads. He could always remember that he was rolling in the milk vetch field until his head and clothes were covered with dots of milk vetch petals, and he was dizzy with the thick smell of milk vetch.

In early summer, watermelons, melons, and cucumbers all begin to grow. After seeing that the melon shed is set up, the watermelon is about to ripen.

Seriously, you can see that the transplanted melon seedlings slowly spread out their branches, until they grow yellow flowers and produce small green melons, until the melon pattern on the melon gradually changes from green to dark and darker, and then the watermelon begins to go on the market.

Living in a melon shed, the first thing I feel serious about it is a feeling similar to "halo oxygen". The melon shed is covered and covered with straw, lying on the bamboo bed, and the mosquito net is set up on the bed, so it is ventilated on all sides, and sleeping on the bamboo bed is not much different from not being covered on all sides, taking the sky as the quilt and the ground as the mat. So, there is an abundance of oxygen. When I got up from the bed in the melon shed in the morning, I saw the dew on the melon vines, shining brightly in the foggy summer morning.

I don't know how many times I've thought about it, if there are countless entertainment projects in heaven, even if it is the World Cup and the "Super Bowl" every day, he can realize the dream of flying in the sky at any time without the help of any tools when he was a child, or he can visit Disneyland for free every day without fear of falling and falling, he still has to choose N times to experience the feeling closest to the sky, the earth and nature when he wakes up in the melon shed in the summer.

seriously dragged his sick body to the "Shi Hospital" in Jilin. On the way, he had already figured out what to do if the hospital didn't trust him. However, he never thought that as soon as he arrived at the hospital, he was almost kicked out.

Shi Hospital is the first western medicine hospital in Jilin Province and even in the entire Northeast China, and it was established by the Church Mission. For they believe that the more urgent and urgent problem, the more practical suffering, is the problem of the sickness of the human flesh than the healing of the soul. But in the Qing Dynasty, where many people stigmatized Western civilization, including Western medicine, this was not an easy task. Shi Hospital was destroyed during the Boxer Rebellion.

We can take a look at the Boxer Rebellion's "unveiling post":

"Men are indecent, women commit adultery, and ghosts and children are the property of children and mothers. If you don't believe it, look carefully, the devil's eyes are blue. There was no rain, the ground was scorched and dry, and it was all churches that stopped the day. ”

The greatness of what this group of people who ran hospitals did was greater than the "greatness" of Napoleon's conquest of Europe and Genghis Khan's expansion of territory.

Zheng Zheng thought that Shi Hospital was at least a richly decorated European-style multi-storey building, but he never thought of the place, and saw a building composed of low bungalows similar to Beijing courtyard houses.

The bungalows are not painted, and the exterior is all in the primary color of green bricks. The bungalows on all sides are guarded by a large and stout locust tree. The windows are glass, which is rare in the countryside.

Before he entered the door, he was stopped by the nurse standing guard at the door because he was not wearing a mask. Seriously patted his head, and thought in his heart that it was really a wise man who must make a mistake, and in this era of malaria, he actually forgot this most basic requirement.

Seriously, he explained that he had very important things to discuss with the hospital.

The nurse at the door looked serious and dusty, wearing a pair of glasses and looking very gentle, so she took a pair of masks from inside, asked him to put them on, asked him what was going on, and informed the leaders of the hospital.

The church doesn't look at people on menus, it doesn't look at people with snobbery. If the church only looks up to people who are dressed in silk and satin, it is not the church. In the same way, Seriousness argues that if a person is required to be "perfect" in order to be accepted by the church, it is a mistaken understanding of doctrine. Therefore, no matter what kind of person he is, he should be accepted by the church and not be ashamed of himself.

After a while, a Westerner in a suit came out, and was introduced by the nurse to the person in charge of the hospital, and then told him something in English.

Serious didn't hear it very clearly, after all, this nurse's English is relatively bad.

The person in charge said to the nurse, "Is that him?" ”

Serious took over the conversation and said, "Yes, yes, it's me, I'm here to provide you with a cure for malaria." ”

It took a long time to introduce his thoughts to William, the person in charge of the hospital. William was like an angelic person described in the Bible, a little excited, a little scared, and then a little incredulous.

"So, the artemisinin you're talking about can really treat malaria? Are you sure? ”

William said several times in quick succession" (a)

e you su

e?” And with an unbelievable look.

"I know that our daily prayers before God will be heard by Him, but are you really sure about it?"

Serious says:

"Why not give it a try? I'm really not trying to lie to your ether. I'm not a liar. ”

For the sake of solemnity, William still felt that he should learn more about this serious person, so he invited him to the office for a long talk.

Dean William, with a hurried pace out of the habit of a doctor's profession, led the solemn to a ward that served as his office. The room was not very large, and there were seven or eight iron beds compactly, and none of them were empty. Nurses in large white coats, wearing nurses' hats on their heads, walked through the room in a hurry. There are no intravenous hanging bottles common in modern hospitals, and there are no modern medical equipment such as X-ray and CT diagnosis and treatment equipment similar to behemoths, only stitches, sutures, syringes, injection needles, and so on on the disk on the table. In the corner is a large desk with a pot of greenery, which is where the dean works.

Seriousness had a somewhat illogical sense of superiority—for from the modern age of medical advancement, even the director of this hospital did not know as much about the diagnostic and therapeutic equipment as he did—but he promptly extinguished this unwarranted pride, and his heart was filled with admiration for the doctors of that era who used such rudimentary medical equipment to treat the sick and save lives, and their selfless risk-taking spirit.

In a modern world where charity can be used for business, and in a society where there are people who make a high-profile announcement on social media accounts about how many wells they have dug in Africa, it is difficult to imagine what motivates this group of doctors to do so. Because, compared to other high-profile "good deeds", they pay the price of everything, and do not ask for material rewards or even gratitude in return.

From time to time, Dean William interspersed some Chinese (called "Chinese" at the time) into his conversations, fearing that he would not be able to fully understand what he was saying. Although it hurt his self-esteem, he also knew that his English was not perfect, and he was not fully prepared for some professional terms.

In the face of Dean William's distrustful, scrutinizing eyes, he seriously continued to fabricate his "lies": "Mr. William, I am not unfounded and am wasting your time here. In the classic Chinese Chinese medicine classics "Pharmacopoeia" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", I found that this herb, which no one else noticed, has a therapeutic effect on similar infectious diseases. By chance, I found that it has some effect on the treatment of malaria, but the effect is not very obvious. This made me wonder if we need to purify the active ingredients in order to be more effective. So ......."

Dean William pushed his reading glasses, revealing his eyes, as if "trying a prisoner", looking at him scrutinically, and disrupting what he said:

“You a

e

ot lyi

g? A

e you?”

Dean William's eyes were not in disbelief, but they were not as stern as they had been, as if he was ready to believe the serious words.

"What do I have to do to convince you? I can vouch for everything I have, including life. ”

As if that weren't enough, he added:

"Besides, you try this herb without taking any risks, and if this method is correct and effective, it can save a lot of lives, have you considered it?"

Dean William put a hand to his chin and frowned.

“Uh...... Let me think again. Do you have a place to live in Changchun now? ”

Looking seriously, it was very close to achieving his goal, and the whole body that was nervous just now seemed to relax.

"I can wait for your letter in Changchun."

Solemnly stood up and prepared to leave.

“Hold o

(Translation: Wait a minute.) Is it possible that you also believe in God? We need your prayers. We are going to increase the number of hospital beds, but we need money and resources. Can you pray for us? )

Seriousness has received many requests for help, but it is the first time I have seen such an urgent request for prayer.

Seeing Dean William's eager expression, he realized that they took this request very seriously, as if doing it a great favor to them.

It seems that there are very different views on the treatment of "face" between China and the West. Perhaps hoping for help in China is a sign of "weakness". This "weak" is not weak, but fragile. The English is VUL

e

able.

There is no shame in showing weakness, and the "face" of adults is sometimes the shackles they wear on themselves.

As for "ask fo."

p

aye

s!” He had already understood such a lesson as early as when he was in college. If a person is praying for one thing, he is equivalent to an antenna towards heaven, and if many people are praying for one thing, it is equivalent to many antennas facing heaven, and the signal is multiplied.

Solemnly and cheerfully agreed to the dean's request, and agreed to meet again at the same time a day later.

Seriousness can completely "brain" their "decision-making" process - Dean William will gather the doctors and nurses in the hospital to pray together, and then make a decision a little earlier tomorrow.

Seriously, I don't know much about how to know God's will. That's why he had the idea of "tempting" God's will with whether the wool was wet.

The next day, Cheng Cheng brought the Artemisia annua collected in the mountains to Shi Hospital, where a nurse greeted him early - Cheng Cheng no longer felt nervous, he knew that this was a signal that his request was "approved".

Sure enough, Dean William arranged for the ether he needed and instructed someone to help him extract artemisinin. And immediately arrange for someone to give the extracted artemisinin to a specially set aside for patients in the malaria ward.

This time, Serious felt the tension that tightened all over his body again. He knows that from the textbook to the reality, there are often many unexpected factors that can cause experiments to fail - problems with the extraction process, impurity of the extract, stability, and so on.

After two days, all the patients' body temperatures returned to normal, and most of the other symptoms had disappeared.

Even as the temperature of some patients gradually returned to normal – nurses take their temperatures every few hours of the day – Seriousness already felt victory in sight.

People are so strange, sometimes, a little bit of good signs will give people 100% certainty of hope.

Dean William's serious face gradually lit up with that kind of joy that could not be hidden. But as the director of a hospital, he still had to remain calm and dignified, otherwise he would be completely happy like a little child, uncontrolled.

After three full days, all patients were back to normal. A miracle happened.

Looking at Dean William, he shouted "mi" when he saw someone

acle, mi

acle", serious and excited to tears.

He couldn't wait to take the artemisinin that had already been made, and left the remaining artemisinin in Shi Hospital, let them continue to extract it, and drove back by mule.

Under the arrangement of the county yamen, some of the malaria people in Aihui City gathered together and were taken care of by a few Chinese medicine practitioners. When I returned to Aihui seriously, it was already dark. At night, it was very easy to find their gathering point, because these Chinese medicine practitioners were setting up a few large iron pots in an open area in the countryside to boil medicine. Although it was already summer, the temperature at night was still relatively low, the sky was lower, the Milky Way in the sky was like a huge eye looking at the earth, and the cold air was filled with the smell of herbs. A vigorous fire erupted from under the iron pot, crackling as it burned some of the bushes. The flames reflected the faces of the sick and the busy Chinese medicine doctors, and turned red.

Just like playing poker, Serious doesn't want to play "open cards". He still wants to copy the experience of Shi Hospital and let some patients try the drug first.

Seriousness thought that some people would refuse, and they would look at him like a monster. However, when almost everyone heard that this drug had been used by foreign hospitals and cured patients, they were eager to try it.

On the second day after returning to Aihui City, Zheng Zheng came to the Ya of Aihui County and informed the Gui County Order of 1510 about the treatment of artemisinin.

In line with 100% trust in seriousness, the Turtle County Order did not find this incident incredible. This surprised and moved the seriousness.

The Turtle County Order says:

"Sir, if you say such a thing, I am afraid that only a madman would believe it. But why would I believe you? Because I know that you are a sincere person and worthy of trust.

"I'll give you a solid background, I think I can give you the position of canonical history. In the past, I was worried that I didn't think it through and didn't tell you the truth, but now I think you can be trusted. And only you can take on this responsibility. ”

Serious didn't expect him to mention this stubble, so he was embarrassed to shirk and said:

"Mr. Turtle, I'm not here for this position. However, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. In the future, everything will be under your orders, and you will never give up!

"It's just that some people are afraid that it will not be easy to deal with." Seriousness means impersonating Yingnu and his gang.

The Turtle County Commander said a few more words of consolation and gave him a bloody beating. Serious felt as if he had Shang Fang's sword in his hand.

"I heard that you have a case, do you want to engage in polyandry?"

After the turtle county order finished speaking, he played haha.

Replied solemnly:

"If the relationship between the two is long, why care about this one person?" Seriously look at the words of the turtle county order, there is a sense of ridicule in it, and I also replied to him with humor.

"Then there's no way, right? The law of the Qing Dynasty can only look at polyandry and cannot be punished? ”

Serious and thoughtful, he smiled:

"If the Qing Dynasty Law judges the case from human feelings and natural reason, it cannot judge the case as unreasonable."

The Turtle County Order nodded in agreement.

After speaking, he seriously remembered what happened in the White Tiger Hall, and told the Turtle County Order about it.

The White Tiger Hall did not reveal the name of Mao Yingnu, but seriousness is by no means a fool. In Aihui City, he probably only has this one enemy, and only he can move the chess piece of the White Tiger Hall.

The serious words pointed to Mao Yingnu inside and out.

The Turtle County Order seems to have anticipated all of this for a long time.

"We didn't take good care of our husband. Don't worry, this matter is done on your head, that is, on my turtle's head, I will not spare it! ”

In modern terms, Mao Yingnu seems to have been a "good young man" when he was a child. Although it can't be said that all the messy things in adulthood are attributed to the "original family", however, Mao does seem to belong to the kind of person who "lacks love". Mao's brother was more handsome than him because he was admitted very early, and Mao always felt that he was a cuckoo chick that was pushed out of the nest by his stronger brothers and sisters, and the love he deserved was snatched away by his brother. Whenever others see them, they will praise his brother for his talent and handsomeness, and he can't wait for others to praise him.

Sometimes, the most funny children in the crowd are usually the ones who need the love and attention of others. As for adulthood, their lives have gone astray, does it have anything to do with this?

Because he often mingled with some street runners in society, he felt that his self-esteem was satisfied, and he wanted to be a bigger official, with greater pomp and circumstance, so that those who looked down on him could see.

Although there was something to be sympathized with, he had already reached the precipice, and no one reminded him.

The news that serious medicine had cured the malaria patient soon spread throughout the city and surrounding counties. His medicine cured countless malaria patients and restored peace to some places in Northeast China at that time.

Back at the big car shop, Zheng Zheng took on a few more civil lawsuits, going back and forth between Aihui and the big car shop.

On this day, when he saw that the Turtle County Order was worried, he bowed to the doorman, saw the Turtle County Order, and asked what made him unhappy.

The Guixian Commander told him that there was such a murder case, and he didn't know where to start.

There is a merchant surnamed Qian who runs a silk shop in Aihui City, and there is a son Zhiwen, although he is not gifted, and he is not bad in the examination, but he loves to tease birds and watch birds with a group of bird keepers. Because Zhiwen has epilepsy, Lao Qian is worried about his accident every time he goes out. Once, he made an appointment with a flock of flocks to play with the birds in a garden the next morning, but that morning he got up late and came to the garden with his parrots, and the people had dispersed. As a result, there was an accident, Lao Qian did not find anyone until the afternoon, and it was not until the evening that he was notified by the county government that his son had been killed, and his head was in a different place, leaving only his body, and his head did not know where it went.

Now there are almost zero clues, and that one birdcage is gone. The Turtle County Order doesn't understand that if it is for the sake of money, it will not kill everyone for the sake of a parrot, right? When the Qian family came to the county office, they were willing to pay 3,000 taels of silver to reward those who could find his son's head. Now the county government has posted a notice that if the murderer or parrot is found, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver will be given.

Many days passed, and there was no progress on the case. The fact that the murder case could not be solved had a greater impact on the political life of the county magistrate. Therefore, Guixian Ling frowned.

Section 2: Homicide Caused by Parrots; Risking the British slave to bring about his own destruction

In the end, this case was because Qian Zhiwen's enemies wanted to kill him or because he accidentally killed someone because of a competition for a parrot? If it was the latter, why did he brutally cut off his head?

Without any further evidence in his hands, it is difficult to determine what the murderer's motive was.

Until further evidence emerges, we can only rely on speculation and the experience of the investigators.

Serious has no experience.

It can only be said that this child is very pitiful.

Seriousness is also worried about the turtle county order. However, apart from sympathy for each other, there is no binding of interests in the vulgar sense. However, if the Guixian Order is manipulated or transferred, then there will be a lot less serious things to do, and those people who are afraid that Aihui's world will not be chaotic will take the opportunity to make even more chaos.

Justice is a sacrificial sacrifice on the chain of interests of officials in feudal society. It is often possible to overlook the many forms of interest. This includes the exchange of interests in which officials "help" and "support" each other. Communicate with each other, do things that are not allowed in principle, bind each other's honor and disgrace, profit and loss, and form a strong chain.

Therefore, to move any of them is to move the whole body.

Seriously decided to help the Turtle County Order solve the case.

seriously remembered a Hong Kong movie starring Louis Koo that he had just watched recently: "Crime Scene". Parrots can also be used to solve crimes, which is new to him.

However, in this movie, the parrot "goes crazy" after the agent deliberately says the name of a suspect, which shows that the parrot has an amazing memory for sounds.

Scientists have experimented with how plants react to humans. In the same laboratory, after a plant saw a person destroying another plant, when the person reappeared on the plant, the plant's radio waves fluctuated violently.

Can it be assumed that parrots have a certain memory of human voices, even faces, and clothing?

If this assumption makes sense, then it can be designed like this - wear the costume that the parrot might wear when it sees the suspect, and speak to the parrot in the suspect's accent, and if the parrot reacts violently, then the suspect is undoubtedly the murderer.

Now the first thing to do is to find where the parrot is going.

However, in the vast sea of people, there are tens of thousands of people in this Aihui City, and the murderer is likely to have seen the yamen reward notice and has already flown away.

It was such a coincidence, so coincidental that he seriously thought that he was destined to come for this case.

An old servant of the Qian family came to Harbin on this day because of the purchase of silk. It happened that at a market in Harbin where he bought birds, plants, and groceries, he heard a very familiar bird call. When he looked closer, he found the birdcage he was very familiar with, and the red rope tied to the parrot's leg was the red rope that his wife tied to the parrot.

When the old servant saw this, he burst into tears, and was glad to find the lost parrot, but to his grief that his master had suffered a misfortune and was no longer in the world.

He asked who the parrot belonged to. The person next to him said that he was a merchant, and if he had something to do outside these days, he would leave the parrot in the market and come back in a few days to pick it up.

The old servant came to the yamen in Harbin non-stop, reported the case to the yamen, and explained his intentions.

When the yamen heard the old servant's report, he did not slack off in the slightest, and immediately sent the head catcher to take a few officials to squat and arrest the merchant.

However, because the place where the case occurred was in Aihui, and most of the relevant evidence was in Aihui, it was more appropriate for the Aihui Yamen to try the case, so the Harbin Yamen sent the businessman to the Aihui Yamen.

It was very exciting to hear the news seriously.

But the merchant decided that he had bought the parrot from a middle-aged man. And the place of purchase is a market in Aihui City.

The Turtle County Commander confirmed that the merchant was telling the truth. As a successful businessman, there is no need to die for a parrot that can be bought for a few dozen taels of silver.

The merchant did not remember the appearance of the parrot seller, but he knew that he was wearing a short coat and had a fishy smell on his body, probably a fisherman or a pig killer. In addition, his accent is very different from the local Heilongjiang accent. But, despite the merchant's travels, he still didn't know the accent of some dialects at the first hearing.

Moreover, there is more than one butcher and fisherman in Aihui City.

Seriously found the turtle county order, and the breakthrough was the murderer's accent.

In Heilongjiang, the northeastern part of China, immigrants from many places thrive. In addition to immigrants from Shandong and Hebei, there were also some immigrants from Inner Mongolia and other places in the northwest, which were considered "northeastern" at that time. People in the northwest region speak standard Heilongjiang dialect partly and partly influenced by their original accent, which speaks more unspeakable.

On the day of the trial, Solemn called several middle-aged men in different dialects, dressed in the same short coats and coats as described by the merchant, and took turns speaking in their dialect in front of the parrots.

"Are you a murderer?"

After a Qinghai man spoke to a parrot in "Mandarin" with a Qinghai accent, the parrot suddenly blew up its feathers and jumped restlessly on the bar inside the cage, quacking and screaming. The flying feathers even fell to the outside of the cage.

It's a real hammer. The Guixian Linghe and the people in the hall, except for a few people who had ghosts in their hearts after the verdict of the unjust case, were overjoyed.

The trial was successful! The murderer is a middle-aged man who speaks Mandarin with a Qinghai accent and is a butcher by profession!

According to the characteristics of the murderer's age, professional characteristics, and immigrants, the yamen quickly locked down a butcher in Aihuicheng and arrested him.

The butcher confessed to his crimes, and led the servants to find Qian Zhiwen's head in the hole of an old tree in the park where Qian Zhiwen teased the birds.

It turned out that on the day of the crime, Qian Zhiwen saw that his friends had dispersed and wanted to leave, but he had a sudden seizure and fell by the river, unconscious. The butcher carried the burden of killing pigs, and when he saw a man lying on the ground, and the birdcage fell beside him, he thought that the parrot was very beautiful and should be worth a few taels of silver. Unexpectedly, Qian Zhiwen woke up at this time and snatched the birdcage with the butcher. The butcher was vicious, picked up the knife that killed the pig and slashed at Qian Zhiwen's neck, cutting off his head in one fell swoop. The butcher hid his head in a hole in an old tree next to him and returned home. I consulted with my wife and sold the parrot at the market the next day.

The case was solved in a way that no one could have imagined, and in the eyes of the Turtle County Order, seriousness is another credit.

A few servants under the Guixian Order, except for Xiao Jiang, seem to think that seriousness is that the blind cat has touched a dead mouse. Of course, they don't know that this ingenious idea was inspired by watching a movie on the computer on a boring weekend.

In their eyes, everything they do seriously is paving the way for their future.

"I didn't expect you to have this trick, it's rare, and we're afraid that you'll mess up."

One of them said sourly.

Serious didn't want to deal with him, so he only replied lightly:

"A small trick can't be elegant. Let you see the smile. ”

Serious sarcasm and sarcasm of others are still relatively indifferent. There will never be a shortage of people in this world who can't do better than him.

Probably, letting go of all the reserved and sour grapes mentality and saying "well done" to one's friends, rivals or colleagues is not something that some Chinese are good at.

Is it because we are an agrarian people, and more people come from the grass?

Some Chinese get along with each other, like forcing several hedgehogs together, hurting each other and hurting others and their own self-esteem, and it is commonplace.

Serious and unsuspicious of everyone's motives may be good.

For example, when a teacher treats a student, he condescendingly preaches or even accuses, but in China, no one questions it just like he treats 1+1=2. As long as you don't do it, it's not strange what the teacher says or how she says it.

When I was in junior high school, a respectable teacher (not sarcastic) noticed that a classmate was copying lyrics instead of listening carefully to the class, so he picked up his notebook and read it in a comical dialect:

"Will you come tonight, my love is still there."

People whose mother tongue is not Mandarin can realize how funny and ironic this is.

The students burst into laughter.

If it were me, I would live my life with a shadow in my heart for the rest of my life.

Just when he seriously thought that he was about to open a new chapter in his career, Jiangdong, where the big car shop is located, was frequently harassed by the Russian army.

The superior of the Guixian Order, the Heilongjiang Provincial General Shoushan, was a singing and crying anti-Russian general, and a descendant of Yuan Chonghuan, a famous anti-Qing general in Liaodong at the end of the Ming Dynasty. This is different from some predecessors who are greedy for life and afraid of death, General Shoushan is enthusiastic about resisting Russian aggression, which is like a needle for Heilongjiang to resist Russia.

According to the orders of his superiors, the White Tiger Hall, a bandit nest in Aihui, should be recruited to increase the strength against the Russian army.

The Turtle County Order found seriousness and asked him to wade through this mine.

This is not only because he trusts Serious, but also because he knows that since the White Tiger Hall did not kill Serious last time he had the opportunity, he should respect his character, and he will not attack him this time.

But as soon as he arrived at the White Tiger Hall, he explained his intention to Guan Hu, the big boss, and Guan Hu actually detained him.

The legs of the tiger can be touched, the belly of the tiger can be touched, but the whiskers of the tiger cannot be touched. If the yamen wants to recruit them, and if they don't give them a price that the White Tiger Hall can recognize, it is impossible for the White Tiger Hall to accept it. Besides, no matter how fierce the tiger is, if it leaves its own territory, it will be in danger. What's more, the recruitment of the Yamen is not once or twice, and Guan Hu has countless reasons to believe that the Yamen is setting up a trap for them to drill in.

However, Guan Hu didn't do anything about seriousness, he just temporarily detained him so that he could bargain with Aihui County.

If it is true that the yamen has set up a full set, he can still wrestle with the yamen.

The news of the serious detention reached the county yamen.

Turtle County makes you restless.
