220、Uphill
The sun was still a little sunny at noon in autumn. The old army guarding the gate of Suzhou Shuicheng hid in Yintou and refused to come out. They had just had lunch and were sleepy in autumn, so they just wanted to find a comfortable place to take a nap. From a distance, someone saw a wooden boat and slowly shook it over.
The Jinyiwei's order flag was also inserted on the bow of the boat with flying fish embroidered in the pattern, indicating their glory as the Shangzhi clan.
The old soldiers watched the "official ship" coming coldly. Not to mention getting up, they were too lazy to even speak. It was not until the ship passed the water gate that someone said lazyly: "I heard that the people carrying tuberculosis are all tuberculosis?"
Patients suffering from tuberculosis will lose weight when they reach the end of their lives, just like skeletons, which makes some rough people call it "ghost". However, the word "ghost" also vaguely reveals people's fear of this disease, and they suffer from such terminal illnesses for no reason. Isn't it like hitting a ghost?
When there was a topic, someone said, "I heard that Dr. Xu from Changchun Hall was going to take them to the mountains for treatment."
"I'm afraid of staying in the city and spreading it to others? I heard that this tuberculosis is transmitted by a kind of insect. If you touch a tuberculosis ghost, you might be asked to get into your body."
"I have seen that Doctor Xu. He is young and brave. No matter whether he can be cured or not, I will accept him in this broken place!"
Some people also sneered: "Are you brave? Didn't you see the boatmen and servants on the boat, all wrapped in mourning clothes, wrapped tightly from head to toe?"
Someone choked him: "I still know how to change my old clothes when I go to work. I stay with tuberculosis all day long. How can I accidentally be? If I don't say anything else, I will prepare a white robe for you. Do you dare to go to bed to check it out?"
The person who just said sarcastic words lowered a lot and said self-deprecatingly: "Oh, what's the use of those, can we get on the official ships of the Jinyiwei?"
The other few burst into laughter, laughing at him for not being brave enough, I am afraid that his eggs would have been gone long ago. No wonder the girl and her sons all looked like Lao Song next door.
...
Xu Xiaole stood at the bow of the boat, waited for the water gate before turning around, shouting, "The task is done, let's come out!"
Among the four people lying on the board, two of them immediately turned over and stood up, which were Zhang Da'er's two subordinates. The other two were still lying and not moving, and they were the two injuries. Now the high fever has subsided, but the low fever hasn't subsided. I wonder if I can get through this level.
He wrapped himself in a white robe like a big ear, with a mask on his mouth covering half of his face. Seeing that he left the city so easily, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiaole, it's really thanks to you this time."
Xu Xiaole shook his head: "Since you promised you to save someone, you must do your best. I have asked someone to arrange a carriage in Xukou, but you have to drive the car to know that it is a patient with tuberculosis, and no one dares to take this job."
Zhang Da'er narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.
Xu Xiaole first asked Amulin to transport the two people from Zhang Da'er out. At first, people were always afraid, but after seeing each other many times, they would become curious. Maybe they would transport two more ships, and the old soldiers would also find excuses to see how these tuberculosis patients look.
Moreover, the two of them have weak vital energy in their bodies. If they are transported with patients with tuberculosis, they will easily get tuberculosis before they recover. At that time, all their previous efforts will be wasted. While the boat is still clean, transport them away first, so that they can feel at ease when the next thing happens.
Han Tongzhi went up Qionglong Mountain early in the morning and took two little Taoists to clean the house in the dense forest of the back mountain.
There is actually nothing in the room. Some Taoist priests who don’t even have beds to retreat will bring a cushion on their own.
These two little Taoist priests were selected to take care of the patients in the temple. As a benefit, they will also become Xu Xiaole's waiters when he was in Shangzhen Temple. The title of waiter sounds like a servant, but his status in the church is very high. Often, only by getting close to his disciples can he have the opportunity to serve as waiters.
To be a servant for Xu Xiaole, they naturally want them to learn Xu Xiaole's medical skills at the closest distance. If Xu Xiaole is a Taoist priest, it is basically equivalent to assigning it to his apprentice.
The two little Taoists were very clever. Following Han Tongzhi's command, they picked up water, took a pig's bristle brush, and knelt on the ground to clean each tiles. They stopped until the water flowed out was clean. As for the dust and spider webs on the wall, they were also cleaned up together, leaving no blind spots.
When Xu Xiaole and others were going up the mountain, the two rooms had wooden beds and two layers of mattresses, which were so soft that it almost made people fall into it.
Seeing that the master came, the two little Taoists stood beside the Taoist and greeted him.
Of course, Zhang Da'er and others were doing the job of placing patients. Xu Xiaole took Han Tongzhi and the Taoist priest elsewhere and explained the reason that they could not go in casually. Because it was easy to say that tuberculosis was a different kind of evil spirit, it would be hard to guard against it. You had to wait for the mask and put on your clothes before entering.
Han Tongzhi only thought that Zhang Da'er and others were the ones who came to help in Changchun Hall, so he did not ask.
Naturally, the two little Taoists would not talk much. They came to learn medical skills and were far from qualified to participate in the treatment of tuberculosis. For these two primary school students, Xu Xiaole of course also prepared lesson plans.
He wrote a silly article "The Ancient Innocence" and handed it over to them.
This article is the first article of "Su Wen", which uses the Q&A between Huangdi and Tianshi Qibo to clarify the original task of Taoism and doctors: to return to the ancient innocent people.
For Taoism, the ancient innocent people were those who were in line with Taoism, which was the source of "becoming an immortal".
For doctors, the ancient innocent people could last for over a hundred years, which is the highest level of treatment for "oldness".
Whether it is practicing Taoism or studying medicine, there must be a goal. This article "Ancient Innocence" sets goals for practitioners. Of course, the article also explains the growth rules of men and women, mainly to describe the role of kidney qi and essence qi, and is only a supporting role in the whole article.
Xu Xiaole had already written this classic and handed it over to two little Taoist priests. At least this month's teaching work can be carried out.
The little Taoist priest is easy to pass, but Han Tongzhi is an expert. Not to mention taking his pulse personally, as long as he sees the prescription, he will know whether the two of them are suffering from tuberculosis.
Logically speaking, Xu Xiaole should have made it clear to Han Tongzhi earlier, but before Xu Xiaole could speak, Han Tongzhi said first: "Xiaole, I have to hand it over to you here first. I have already agreed with the financial owners over there that I will burn the furnace and set up a jar tonight and prepare to refine the alchemy." He looked up at the sky and said: "If you don't leave now, it will be a waste of time."
Xu Xiaole was really a sleepy person who met the pillow and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll be alone these days. When you finish practicing the pill, there are many patients here, so I'm just here to help."
Han Tongzhi took care of him for a few more words and went down the mountain without looking back.
Xu Xiaole watched him disappear at the end of the mountain path and finally breathed a sigh of relief without having to involve this kind and kind Taoist priest.
