15. Yellow at the bottom of the abdomen
The counselor first invited St. Ann. Li Da's task is to be gentle and far away, and he can't be a threat, so he replied with a smile: "Holy bow, please get up." ”
ordered Xizi to quickly help him up, and then said: "When His Majesty left Beijing, the saint repeatedly told us not to disturb the place, and we were afraid of affecting the adults on errands, so we didn't dare to alarm, and I hope to forgive me."
"This time, the official will not visit the Yamen, we will camp outside the city, you can do a good job with peace of mind, Wei Si has already received a roll order from the imperial court. Someone will come to provide heavy provisions. It's not too early, the adults are on their own, and the brothers have to hurry. ”
After Chen Lu finished translating, Li Wen led the officials to dodge the road, knelt down on both sides, saluted, and stood up only after the team disappeared.
The mission passed through the city, the city was not easy to wanton, the people were not alarmed, and the people were blocked. After walking dozens of miles, he arrived at a big river, set up a big village, chiseled ice to get water, cooked and camped, and had nothing to say all night.
The next day, after breakfast, I packed my bags and prepared to set off, but someone came to report that several horses were sick, convulsed, and fell to the ground, as if they had been washed with water. The lieutenant envoy ordered a few men to be left to treat the horse, and then chased after the horse was healed.
But after Chen Lu heard the news, his heart sank, and he had an ominous premonition.
At the time of the fifth drum, many more horses lay down, and more than half of the horses were sick one after another, and Li Da was anxious to get angry. Chen Lu and Ha San went to the scene to see it in person, and reported back to the envoy, but they didn't see anything wrong.
At this time, Luhatu and the military veterinarian came, and Luhatu said to Li Da: "My lord, I have examined many sick horses, and they are all a symptom, swollen abdomen. This is what we often call 'yellow at the bottom of the abdomen', because the damp poison and evil qi are concentrated in the abdomen, which cannot be dissipated, and will increase significantly after two days. ”
Ha San asked, "Have you passed by before?"
Lu Hatu said: "I have seen it, I have also treated it, cut open the swollen area, let go of the yellow water, and then take a few doses of decoction, it will take seven or eight days to see the effect, and a good veterinarian can only be 60% sure." But ......"
Ha San saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that something was wrong, and said: "You are already a member of the mission, if you have something to say, you can say it." ”
"The little one has a question, this disease is not contagious, and I have never seen so many horses fall ill together, rare, rare," Ruhatu said. ”
Chen Lu and Ha San glanced at each other, Chen Lu sighed secretly in his heart, he should come sooner or later, and said to Lu Hatu in Mongolian: "Then you should hurry up and treat it with the veterinarian in our military camp." ”
Ruhatu said, "It's useless, my lord. There is a well-known veterinarian here, his name is Amer, and he is the best at treating horses. The little one is familiar with him, so I will go and invite him, and the adult will send two people to go with me, which is more solemn. After he came to see it, he discussed it with our veterinarian and might be able to figure out a solution. ”
Li Da agreed, and asked Han Liuer to take someone and Lu Hatu to invite Amer. After they left, Chen Lu was worried about Li Da's two famous horses, and went over to take a look in person, and the veterinarian said that there was no problem, and finally put his mind at ease.
Half an hour later, Ruhatu returned, but empty-handed. Ruhatu said: "Amer and his apprentices are so busy that the hospital is full of sick horses. The nearby military horses and folk horses all got this strange disease, and he promised to come over in the morning, but his own medicine was gone, so let us buy the medicine ourselves, this is the prescription he gave. ”
Wen Da was furious and said, "What kind of bullshit veterinarian is this, can't you tell the severity of it? Now that there is a problem with the imperial court's mission, he will treat the people's horses first." Lord Lieutenant, the last general will go to the inquiry office, and let them arrest this special Amer and hang him first. ”
Chen Lu waved his hand, he felt that things were not so simple, seeing that it was noon, everyone was in a hurry. The veterinarians here can only treat minor illnesses and disasters, and they are helpless at this time.
Chen Lu said: "Your Excellency, my Zicheng personally went to invite Amer, but it really can't be done, and it's really like General Wen said, tie up and tie up, if you can't cure the horse, you can only cure his crimes." General Wen, no matter what, you have to send someone to protect the lieutenant envoy's BMW, and don't leave anyone for a moment. ”
It was very surprising for everyone to see that this good-tempered official, who usually loves the people like a son, actually wanted to punish the crime. Especially the BMW of the Chinese envoy, it is even more confusing to the second monk.
Chen Lu said to Lu Hatu and the veterinarian of the army: "Since you have been diagnosed with the disease and it is consistent with the prescription given by Amer, it is imperative to send someone to the pharmacy to buy it as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be difficult to buy it in the future." ”
Ha San disagreed, he was afraid that someone would do something, this thing was like a serial plan, leading Lord Chen out of the camp, so he persuaded Chen Lu hard, and even finally knelt down.
It was Li Da and Li Xian who agreed to Chen Lu's invitation. They knew that Chen Lu must have his own ideas, not just to run for this matter. Let Ha San lead the three sentinels to protect.
Here's the arrangement for someone to buy medicine.
Chen Lu observed his mount, the big green horse, there was no problem, rode into the city, saw that he was not in a hurry, and walked slowly.
He observed, contrary to when he came, that he could not see a few horses along the way, and some of them fell on the side of the road, sometimes with several horses in tow. He was a little worried about his own and his soldiers' mounts. At this time, I can't care about it so much.
Ruhatu led them to Amer's house. They dismounted outside the courtyard, and the gate was open. Outside the gate there is a small square with three rows of double wooden stakes. Chen Lu understood that this was used to hang the palm of the horse or to cure the disease. Looking into the courtyard, there are several rows of the same wooden stakes.
But inside and outside the hospital, there was silence, which was very different from what Chen Lu imagined, and no one came to treat the horses at all.
Chen Lu glanced at Lu Hatu suspiciously, he was also at a loss, and found that Lord Chen was looking at him, so he hurriedly said: "The little one just came here with Han Chaguan, there are people coming and going here, all the horses on the horse stakes, and there are rows of people and horses waiting. I don't know what's going on now, so if you can't, you can ask Han Chaguan. ”
Chen Lu didn't wait to finish listening, and secretly screamed badly, saying, "Don't say it, go and report it." ”
Ruhatu was startled, did not dare to slack off, walked into the door, and shouted a few words in Mongolian. At this time, two young men with yellow eyes and yellow beards ran out and pushed Ruhatu out with all their might.
Chen Lu could understand it: "You hurt my master." As soon as you left, Master and the three brothers were kidnapped by several masked men, and before leaving, they warned us that if we dared to heal a horse, we would immediately set this courtyard on fire. ”
Ha San glanced at Chen Lu, Chen Lu signaled to him, he nodded, ran over, and said, "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, your master has been arrested, what is the matter with him?
The two of them looked at the six-grade military attache uniform worn by Ha San, and did not dare to make a mistake, and said: "They said, if you want to report to the official, you should report it as soon as possible, and it is useless to report to the Beijing Division, they are the king's law, if we dare to act rashly, just wait to collect the body of my master." Wait at home well, and after a while, Master will naturally come back, and there will be no loss of half a hair. ”
Chen Lu said: "Let's go, Li Wen, you go to a person to lead the way and give him a horse." "Led the team to the institute like a splash of wind.
