"Didn't you hear about the Taoist on the way here? The current Qingyuan County is not very peaceful, a few days ago there was a sudden outbreak of malaria, one to two, two to three, in just a few days, a lot of people fell. Now the whole city is under martial law, and it is estimated that in a few days, it will be allowed to enter and not leave. Therefore, according to the meaning of the old man, if the Taoist chief can not enter the city, it is better not to enter the city. The old woodcutter sighed as he spoke, and his mouth was full of evil, evil.

Zhang Xuanqing's heart shook slightly when he heard this, he knew that malaria was an infectious disease, and it was said that it was infected by mosquito bites, and he heard the old woodcutter say that he had caused evil, so he couldn't help asking: "Who did the old man say caused evil? Could it be that there is another cause for this malaria?"

The old woodcutter shook his head and said, "This is not something that I can say as a small person, in short, if the Taoist chief is not necessary, don't go into the city." Alas, two days ago, Lao Yu also met a strong man who was in a hurry and advised him not to enter the city, but he did not listen. When I saw him again yesterday, his life was hanging by a thread, and now ......" shook his head silently.

Zhang Xuanqing couldn't help but say: "The old man can rest assured, in fact, the poor road is also a little proficient in medical skills, and with a little prevention and treatment, it should not be a problem to enter the city for a few days." Maybe the poor road is lucky and can be cured of malaria. ”

"The Taoist chief still doesn't talk big. Unexpectedly, the old woodcutter who had a good conversation just now didn't save him any face at this time, and said bluntly: "Can the medical skills of the Taoist be compared to Sun Simiao? Just a few days ago, when malaria was just emerging, it happened that Sun Zhenren had traveled here and lived in Qingyuan County. Guess what? Rao is Sun Zhenren, and he was stopped by the malaria, and he was almost caught himself!"

On the ground, similar to the slang of infection, Zhang Xuanqing can also get an idea before and after the combination.

The old woodcutter said this out of kindness, but when he heard that Sun Simiao was here, Zhang Xuanqing couldn't leave, so he arched his hand and said: "I don't know if the old man knows where Sun Daochang lives? ”

The old woodcutter stared at him for a long time before he sighed: "That's it, that's it, since the Taoist chief doesn't listen to persuasion, the old man won't say more." Follow this road all the way to the west, about three to five miles, and you will see the city gate. Sun Zhenren's medical skills are extraordinary, and he is quite respected in Qingyuan County, and the Taoist chief only needs to inquire about it when he enters the county seat, and he can know. As for the little old man...... Forgive the old man for being timid, and if he wants to live for two more years, he won't send the Taoist to the chief. After saying that, he arched his hand, got up and put on the firewood on his back, and walked slowly north.

Zhang Xuanqing realized that the old woodcutter was from a nearby village, looking at the back of the old woodcutter, he shook his head silently, that malaria can be transmitted through mosquito bites, even if the old woodcutter does not enter the city, can he still ensure that the mosquitoes in the city do not go out of the city?

Get up and go on the road, and when you leave, you don't forget to glance at the big tree in the center of the road. If he had to rush into the city, he might have stopped to study and see if he could get rid of the evil in the trees. However, since no one touched the big tree, and the big tree would not "harm people", he was in a hurry to enter the city, so he planned to avoid it.

He withdrew his gaze and followed the path pointed out by the old woodcutter to the west, but he did not notice that not long after he turned to leave, the big tree suddenly rattled and there was no wind, and the surroundings were very shady.

......

Qingyuan County, as the old woodcutter said, the whole city is heavily guarded, and you have to go through the interrogation when you enter and leave the city.

When it came to Zhang Xuanqing, the guards checked his baggage and sword, and there was nothing wrong, but they were suspicious of what he was holding.

"Hey, that Taoist priest, what are you doing all over the world, holding two bundles of grass!" asked a man similar to his husband, in his thirties, and a ruffian.

I saw that at this time, Zhang Xuanqing was indeed holding two bundles of grass with small yellow flowers in his hands, and the bundles were very large, and there were really a lot of them. Listening to the guards' inquiry, he was happy and grinned: "The good instructor learned that the two bundles of yellow artemisia in the poor road were specially picked on the way here. I thought that I could sell it for a good price when I entered the city, so I bought more. Do you want to buy some?"

"Go, go!" The guards waved their hands impatiently, and their eyes glared: "You Taoist priest, am I stupid to be an official?" A few bundles of grass can be seen everywhere, and even the poor people's homes are used to feed pigs and chickens. What do you want to do with it?"

"Tsk, the official's words are wrong, this grass is not an ordinary grass, but a fairy grass picked by Poor Dao from the peach orchard in the sky......"

"Okay, you Taoist priest, what kind of madness are you doing, just now you said that you came to pull it out on the road, and now you say that it comes from heaven. Hmph, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you want to enter the city well, you'd better be honest, or don't blame me for being rude!" The guard was furious, and in his opinion, the Taoist priest in front of him was clearly playing tricks on himself.

Clinker, as soon as Zhang Xuanqing heard his words, he immediately hugged the two bundles of grass to death: "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, it's a big deal if you don't sell you." However, these two bundles of grass can really be sold for a lot of money, if the official doesn't mind, when the poor road sells for money, it's better to divide the official master?"

"Get out! Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here, do you still want to go into the city? If you don't want to enter the city, get out of here, if you want to get into the city, get out of the city. "The guard is impatient, what is this Taoist priest, two bales of grass still want to sell for a lot of money?

After driving Zhang Xuanqing away, the guards continued to check on the other people who entered the city, and they didn't think that Zhang Xuanqing could really sell the two bales of grass. At this time, Zhang Xuanqing was walking on the clean streets of the city, looking at the streets in amazement.

In fact, the sanitary conditions of some cities in ancient times were really not very good, and it was rare to say that the TV was particularly neat and clean. But this Qingyuan County is very different, the streets are clean and spotless, pedestrians, even if the clothes they wear are torn linen, they are also clear and very tidy, and occasionally you can see people who specialize in dealing with hygiene, not like a city that is in a panic of patients.

After careful inquiry, I found out that these were all ordered by Sun Simiao, which is not surprising.

Originally, Sun Simiao was the first in history to advocate the medical idea of "prevention is more important than cure", and attached great importance to physiological hygiene. Later, I knew Zhang Xuanqing for so long, and occasionally listened to Zhang Xuanqing talk about the importance of hygiene, and now malaria in Qingyuan County is an infectious disease at a glance, and it is very normal for Sun Simiao to rectify hygiene.

What is really curious is that the people in this county actually listen to Sun Simiao so much, which has to make Zhang Xuanqing re-examine this city. He had already entered the city, so he was no longer in a hurry to find Sun Simiao, found a street corner to sit down, and looked at the passers-by.

After a long time, the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked, revealing a strange smile, taking a deep breath, and suddenly shouting loudly. (To be continued.) )
