Chapter 14 The Handyman of the Hospitalium

Contrary to the Li Kee Teahouse, the Jishitang Medical House is often full of doors. The Jishitang Medical Center www.biquge.info is also in the north of the city, and it is diagonally opposite the Li Ji Teahouse. The front hall of the mansion is a set of medical houses, the medical hall is next to the pharmacy, the medical hall is a place to rest for the diagnosis and seriously ill patients, but the pharmacy has no owner, just the doctor alone, deserted.

The doctor who diagnosed the doctor in the Jishitang Medical Center was also surnamed Li, but most people in Gongcheng could no longer call the doctor's real name, and those who respected him called him "Li Huatuo", but some called him "Li Maniac". Dr. Li is a highly skilled doctor, but his behavior is strange, and whether or not to diagnose a patient is a matter of personal preference. The dignitaries of Wangcheng invited him to diagnose his illness, whether it was the leader of several major tribes or the relatives of Tian Khan, he never went, and publicized to the outside world, no matter who wanted to see a doctor, he would come to the Gongcheng Jishitang Hospital. Relying on the convenience of the proximity, the dignitaries of Gongcheng thought that as long as they went to the Jishitang Medical Center to diagnose the patient in person, it would definitely be no problem, but "Crazy Li" said that "unless someone is about to die, it depends on his own mood whether he sees a doctor or not." The dignitaries and dignitaries have no way at all, who let this Doctor Li once diagnose and cure the disease of the Northern Barbarian Heavenly Khan.

In this way, as long as the dignitaries are not particularly anxious or seriously ill, they try not to come to seek medical treatment, but this Dr. Li is sharp-eyed, just take a look, and say coldly, "Since you have already called a quack doctor, why do you come to my medical hall?" Sometimes, when the common people come to seek medical treatment, Dr. Li is relatively enthusiastic, but first, the money in the pockets of the common people is limited, and there are not many people who dare to come to diagnose the patient, and secondly, the common people compare the prescriptions of the two patients, the same prescription, but the money is never the same. "Hua Tuo" and "Madman" spread throughout the city in this way.

Recently, people who came to seek medical advice found that there was a young man in the pharmacy who managed the prescriptions and herbs. The young man doesn't talk much, and there are not many people who come to the pharmacy to pick up medicine and buy medicine prescriptions, but I only see the little guy often holding the book in Dr. Li's pharmacy and reading, but I don't know if I can read it.

This young man is Azule, who no longer goes to the teahouse to help, because he occasionally helps Yao Xiucai to ask for medicine and get medicine, he is familiar with Dr. Li, and it seems that Dr. Li and Yao Xiucai are already very familiar with each other. In order to learn more Central Plains characters and even Central Plains culture, after Yao Xiucai's recommendation, Azule naturally came to the medical hall, and studied the Central Plains script as a handyman.

Azule's original intention was obviously not here, his purpose was to understand the strange words in the introductory exercises, and after reading all kinds of medical books for a whole month, he barely understood that what he wanted to learn was the "acupuncture path". But with no one to guide me, I can't get into the door just by reading books on my own.

Azul, of course, understands that he can't simply ask someone else for advice, and in the eyes of connoisseurs, such a move is too conspicuous. So in the spirit of diligence to make up for the clumsiness, Azule looked through a large number of books, often taking a text version, and then taking an illustrated version, the two are right, but some are called different, some are not the same way of writing, and the corresponding acupoints for treating different diseases are even more different. In this way, the progress of Azul's learning was very slow and slow, and after a long time, he was able to make a plausible and half-understood.

Anyway, Azule decided to take a risk and find an opportunity to seek advice from Dr. Li, first with side knocks, and then with a roundabout way of fighting. Dr. Li could not devote himself to the patient, but felt compassion for Asure's diligence and hard work, so the questions and answers slowly turned into dedication. In the long run, Azul did not just learn a few acupoints related to the exercises quickly, but started from the basics in an attempt to master more comprehensive knowledge.

After another half a year of hard work, Azul finally got a general idea of what he wanted to learn. Originally, these acupoints are located in the "meridians", that is, the channels of energy; there are 12 meridians in the "main meridians" of the five internal organs and six internal organs, with the "Ren Pulse" in the center of the front of the body and the "Du Pulse" in the center of the back of the body, each with a special meridian that runs through the whole body; there are a total of 365 acupoints in the human body arranged on these 14 meridians.

For those who practice martial arts, the most important thing is the eight meridians, the twelve meridians and the thirty-six fatal death points. The eight veins of the Qi Jing include the Ren pulse, the Du pulse, the Chong pulse, the belt pulse, the Yin stilt vein, the Yang stilt vein, the Yin dimensional vein, and the Yang vein. The 12 meridians include the three yin meridians of the hands, the three yang meridians of the hands, the three yin meridians of the feet, and the three yang meridians of the feet. The 36 fatal death points are mainly distributed in the head and neck, chest and abdomen, back, waist, sacral and upper and lower limbs and other four main parts.

Like the young man at the Li Kee Teahouse, Azule learned cast iron while helping out in the medical hall, and learned the basics of medicine by the way. Azule learned very quickly, and Dr. Li seemed to be very happy to teach, and even while answering questions, he would inadvertently add some introductions and explanations of medical prescriptions; Azule politely declined, he frankly told Dr. Li that he was introduced to the Forge Iron Division of the Sword Forge Workshop of the Craftsman Institute as an apprentice, and the purpose of his apprenticeship was mainly to repay his grandfather, and he could not cause trouble to the introducer, and he had learned something, especially being called a craftsman was his greatest expectation, and learning the Central Plains script was a hobby that he had accidentally discovered, and it was also to find something to do in his business time, and when the books here were almost finished, he should go back to prepare for the second year's assessment.

When learning and teaching, Dr. Li didn't ask for anything too much, but deliberately inadvertently revealed some sighs. It turned out that Dr. Li never used his real name, he had been away from his hometown for more than ten years, he couldn't return home, he had relatives but didn't know what was going on, and he only practiced medicine with his superb medical skills.

In just a few months, Azule has become familiar with the acupoints and meridians of the human body, and it is finally time to say goodbye. Dr. Li has a strange temper, and he doesn't ask, and he gave Azule a few books, which can be regarded as having an intersection in the past. However, in addition to studying, Azule was not simply carried away by his own progress, he was faintly aware of some abnormal subtle and almost undetectable problems, Yao Xiucai and Dr. Li had an extraordinary relationship, and he took the risk of asking the two people for advice without attracting attention, but learned more than expected.

Thinking of this, Azule broke out in a cold sweat, he had an intention, could it be that Yao Xiucai and Dr. Li also had an intention? What was their intention? As an apprentice, there was nothing worth thinking about others, except for the sword he was hiding with him, had they discovered my secret?
