The old man put down the book on the podium, turned around and wrote the word "Cao" on the wooden sign, followed by two large characters: herbs.

"My surname is Cao, and I am responsible for teaching you herbs. ”

Cao Yao, teaching herbology, the teenagers in the small hall originally sat up straight, but after listening to the old man's self-introduction, they smiled crookedly, and it was difficult to maintain a sitting posture, and the posture was strange.

Slowly, he took out a small cloth bag from his body and put it on the podium, and the old man of herbs, the title given to the old man by the new first tour, wrote the wooden sign, and the lines of large characters were as illegible as ghostly drawings, until the laughter in the small hall stopped, and he still wrote a few more lines, and then turned around slowly.

"Mutton is hot, dispels cold, warms and replenishes qi and blood. Although the weather is cold in early spring, the opportunity for recovery has been revealed, and eating mutton can supplement your physical development needs. ”

Breakfast was mutton soup, and the soldiers didn't know why the old man mentioned mutton with herbs, so they looked at the old man curiously, and saw the small cloth bag with sharp eyes, fantasizing about whether it contained pills.

"The mutton is heavy, and if there is no condiment to reconcile it, it must be difficult for you to swallow. The old man paused, and his old eyes were obviously narrow: "So the mutton you eat and the mutton soup you drink are naturally made of the herbs in your mouth, and the old man has added some condiments." ”

The young man with organic spirits realized that something was wrong, and the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to be stretched, and he raised the cloth bag and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, the condiments not only wash away the qi, but also increase the qi and blood, but, for the sake of you who like to play pranks, I added a little more herb powder to the old man, and I won't die after eating, that is, after two hours, I will have diarrhea for an hour." ”

If it weren't for the military law of the standard camp, the teenagers would have rushed up and knocked out the teeth of the old man with herbs with their fists, causing diarrhea and diarrhea for an hour, and it was the afternoon training time.

"Don't look at the old man with bitterness, hehe, the bag is the antidote, one pill per person after class, to ensure that the medicine is eliminated. ”

There is an antidote, this is okay, the teenagers' mood has stabilized, and someone has already planned to organize everyone together immediately after class, go to the head of the standard camp to complain, deliberately poisoned, and definitely want the old man of herbs to look good when the time comes.

"Now, who is willing to call me Mr. Cao, I will give the antidote immediately, of course, the man would rather bend, you can also continue to call me the old man of herbs, I will not be angry, however, who can guarantee that the antidote is not poison." ”

"Don't have unrealistic illusions, Biaoying spent a lot of money to invite the old man to me, and naturally there will be a few bodyguards, one of them surnamed Qin, it seems that he is still some kind of chief instructor, hehe, the master in charge was next to him when he was drugged, and later he did it himself. ”

The old man of herbs, no, Mr. Cao threw out a boulder again, completely smashing over the defense line of the new patrol, the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, and he couldn't stop the women from shaving his eyebrows, the women's team immediately ran to the podium, while shouting sweetly Mr. Hello, while taking out the pill from the cloth bag, the bold girl took it on the spot.

"Mr. Cao. ”

"Hello old man. ”

The small hall was chaotic again, but there was an orderly order in front of the podium, and the young men first bent down and bowed, and flatteringly shouted the old man of herbs, the name hidden in his heart, the title he liked, and only after receiving the antidote was relieved, and the last person received the antidote, and in the small hall, the new cadets sat more upright.

"Hehe, the old man doesn't really care, he just teaches you a lesson. On the podium, Mr. Cao changed his old and disrespectful appearance and gave a formal lecture with a straight face.

"Medicine can save people, but also can harm people, as the saying goes, medicine is three parts of poison, it can be known that all pills, there will always be toxicity, the way to cure the disease is nothing more than to fight poison with poison. As a healer, the first thing is to identify the herbs and remember the medicinal properties of various herbs. In ancient times, there were sages and sages, who went deep into the poor mountains and bad waters, tasted the herbs, and tested the poison with their own bodies, so as to leave endless blessings to future generations, and then countless medical sages, poor life's strength, or lifelong running, in order to find new varieties of herbs, or bury their heads in the medical medicine pile after practicing medicine, and painstakingly explore the formula of herbal medicine. In addition to qualifications, you can also make up for your clumsiness with diligence, and you may have a hard life, and it is difficult to get rid of the footprints of your predecessors in the end, so martial arts masters are common, and medical masters are hard to find. ”

In the small hall, the faces of the young people were bitter, and they couldn't understand the standard camp and the doctor, really we orphans are all peerless demons, if that is the case, the ghost has stayed in the boy camp until now.

Mr. Cao is old and refined, looking at the bitter smiling face under the watchtower, his voice changed: "People live for only a hundred years, there are too many things to be busy, people who are not great perseverance, great courage, and great luck, naturally they can't dabble too much, otherwise they will only achieve nothing, and become four different smiles and generous." ”

"Most of you are future soldiers, and when the time comes, you will be in the battle formation, and you will be taken care of by your own medical officer, and it seems that it really doesn't matter whether you learn the way of medicine or not. ”

Doctors pay attention to looking, smelling, diagnosing and cutting, and are as good at figuring out people's hearts as Xiangshi, and unconsciously, in the small hall, the thoughts of the teenagers follow the rhythm of Mr. Cao.

"Not every battle is a large-scale war, if you go away from the camp, go to patrol in the mountains and dense forests, if you are ordered to harass the enemy country, old man, I don't know the way of the battle formation, but I still know some common sense. The empire has been peaceful for decades, there is no big war at the border, and there are more so-called elites competing secretly among the empires. ”

"If you know the common herbs and know some basic ways to help yourself, you will have a little more certainty of survival. If it is your team, someone has good medical skills, and if anyone is unlucky enough to be knifed, there will be no risk of suppuration in the wound. Martial arts and medical skills are not learned overnight, and it does not take much time to identify herbs and understand some first aid methods. ”

On the battlefield, being hacked to death by the enemy will be a hundred deaths, if you are seriously injured, and lack of medical treatment, the wound is suppurating and bleeding, the teenagers think about it and their scalps are numb, at that time, if you really know how to use first aid, you can find some herbs as soon as possible, even if you can't cure the injury, at least you can reduce the pain, the teenagers feel that herbology is really imperative to learn.

"It seems that you are not too stupid, and you know that on the battlefield, it is far more uncomfortable to be injured and not treated in time than to die on the spot. So tell me now, future samurai, herbology, do you want to study?"

"Yes!"

"That's right, knowing more about life-saving means is not a bad thing for anyone, anyway, you are still young, and some of you have a lot of time to squander. ”

Squandered his grandmother's head, the little masters are about to be trained into puppets by the instructors, and they have a lot of time to squander, the old man of herbs, or you will spend a day with the little masters tomorrow, eat and live and train together, and see if you will make fun of the little masters the day after tomorrow. The girls are even more cursed in their hearts, they have to change their clothes twice a day, and they are all the same military uniforms, they are so big that they don't even have the opportunity to walk around the street in flower skirts like girls of the same age in the city, and they squander a lot of time, this old man is definitely a widow and an old man, and he is used to taking the pain of others to relieve his loneliness and loneliness.

"It seems that many people have called me an old man of herbs in their stomachs, hehe. The old man paused for a moment, then went about his lecture.

"I just told you about the importance of healing the disease, and now I will go back to the beginning, it is three parts of poison, and I will tell you the story of killing people with poison. ”

"More than a thousand years ago, there was a period of time when the population of Luofeng Continent was sharply reduced, countless cities were in ruins, countless fertile fields were not cultivated, almost every family, there were people lying on the bed, and the family members were helpless except crying, and could only watch their relatives die in pain. There were so many people who died, and those who carried the corpses later often did not carry the corpses to the grave, and they themselves died halfway through. ”

"According to historical records, the population of our Qinghui Empire has decreased by one and a half, one and a half people, children, you can imagine what it feels like to have a small and half people around you all of a sudden. Tragedy, yes, human tragedy, but we are not yet the main area where the plague is endemic. ”

The plague, a plague empire that killed less than half of its people, is also too hard to believe. If this is true, then this plague is more desperate than countless great wars.

"Those ten years or so were the dark years of the Luofeng Continent, and a plague took the lives of almost half of the people on the continent. If it is the punishment of God, if it is the underground demons that are raging, as human beings, we are powerless to resist, and we have nothing to say. ”

Mr. Cao's tone became heavy, and his mind fell in the vicissitudes of life first.

"A man-made plague. ”

"In which year, the Cuihua Empire and the Sunset Empire went to war, and the Cuihua Empire finally couldn't stop the Iron Cavalry of the Sunset Empire, all the cities on the border fell, and countless Cuihua people became slaves of the fallen soldiers. The proud children of the aristocracy in the past have been reduced to horse-feeding servants, and the peerless women have become toys for other people. ”

"Just as the Sunset Empire was gathering its elite and preparing to launch a war to destroy the Cuihua Empire, a strange illness spread in the military camp. At first, it was not obvious, but some people had a fever and weakness all over their bodies, and everyone thought that it would be good to take the medicine for a few days, but after a few days, more people were lying on the bed, and the angry officers roared to arrest the medical officer for questioning, only to find that most of the medical officers were dying, and the body of the medical officer was not as strong as the sergeant after all. ”

"The war stopped, but the plague was not controlled, and the rats flowed to all corners of the continent with the goods of grain ships, pack horse teams and countless merchants, and people and animals were infected everywhere they passed. The doctors need to grasp the cause of the disease before formulating the antidote, and the refining of the herbs also takes time, and when the imperial army intervenes strongly, yes, strongly, to isolate the infected area, there is no way to finally curb the spread of the plague and hold the main city. It's just that those areas where the plague is severe, before the antidote is refined in large quantities, have become ruins and wilderness, and there is no difference between man and beast, and they have all been turned into white bones on the ground by wind and rain. ”

Mr. Cao stopped talking and sighed, and the teenagers also woke up from their grief and anger, and killed people with poison, which is too ruthless, who is such a bastard, half of the people, even if they stand still, I am afraid that a legion will have to kill for a lifetime before it is finished.

"I don't know who the murderer is, or rather, I know who the murderer is, so I can only choose to forget, because no matter which empire, there is no guarantee that it can stop the next plague, but fortunately, for more than a thousand years, this tragedy has not been staged again, which is also the fundamental reason why the five empires dare not launch a war to destroy the country, because that result will only lose both. ”

The old gentleman said and picked up the book on the podium, and said slowly before leaving: "In the first class, I just let you understand that killing people does not necessarily depend on force. Herbal medicine is to teach you how to save people, how to prevent people from being poisoned, and how much you can learn in three years depends on your understanding. ”
