Chapter 41: Daojun can rule
It is different from the jokes that my wife and daughter were raised in later generations. Wei Ziyang's words were very heavy. At this time, girls were not rare. There were countless men in Guanzhong who died on the battlefield at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there were so many widows and girls.
Wei Ziyang's family was not a generous family, but fled to Chang'an and Cuihua Mountain with him.
A mouth is precious food.
......
While jogging all the way, Wei Ziyang and Wang Gua came to Weijia Village with breath. There were no one in Cuihua Mountain. These were refugees who moved here recently, so the houses were built very simple, with thatched roofs and houses close together, with large areas and cramped passages that divide the boundaries of each village.
Weijia Village is connected by 60 families, so the villagers can join together to keep warm.
On the far side of the narrow road facing east is the Liu family's house. The newly built thatched hut has not yet removed the moisture, and with the autumn dew, I feel suddenly cold when I get close.
They trot over and were warm, not because of the cold environment here, but because of the dense crowds of people around the inner and outer circles. There were also curious people from the neighboring villages, whispering side by side.
Wei Ziyang's heart sank. He was anxious to go in. The boy from the Liu family and he were brothers who fled, but he still couldn't squeeze in after trying several times. His eyes lit up, and Wang Gua's arm was raised high, and her narrow sleeves naturally hang down. The red spots naturally appeared.
"There are people who have epidemics here. If you don't want to get sick, please get out of the way."
The in-situ bomb really worked, and the villagers were afraid to avoid it. People three feet away from Wang Gua retreated one after another, and even the simple construction of the building collapsed a lot.
In the spacious gap exposed by the crowd, Wei Ziyang finally saw the scene inside. The doctor wearing brown clothes and a green gauze hat looked worried, the county officials holding a water and fire stick, and the knife on their waist looked alert, there was a look of disgust between their eyebrows, and their shoulders kept moving out, and there were several village officials who were quite familiar with him.
In the house, the boy from the Liu family looked pale, with fine red dots on his face, back, and arms... all of which were the same as those on Wang Gua. He hunched over because of pain and coughed a few times.
"Doctor, can you ask if Liu Saner can be saved?" Wei Ziyang stepped forward and asked.
The doctor lowered his head and thought, and subconsciously waved his hand when he heard someone's question, and replied, "If you get smallpox, you're basically out of salvation."
"Smallopsis?" Wei Ziyang said in shock.
The crowd immediately took a big step back. A few people had even run home and didn't want to stay in this place of trouble. More people stretched their heads and retreated to carefully find every interesting sentence because of curiosity. Several timid women immediately howled loudly, and they were still unsatisfied after being pinched by their neighbors.
Wang Gua had already collapsed on the ground, her eyes fell into a dullness again...
The doctor looked at Wei Ziyang with a gloomy face, and his face kept showing annoyance. He asked the village official: "Who is this person? He is rash and smallpox is a big deal. You can't make a big fuss. I'm afraid that the people will panic when they hear the smallpox epidemic, so... but I don't know..."
The familiar township official hurriedly came up to accuse him and said, "Doctor Xu, don't be upset. This is Xu Wei Ziyang, a villager in Weijia Village. He is usually very obedient. I think it was because he was a little panicked when he heard the word "Smallflower", so he said it loudly."
Doctor Xu nodded. The name Wei Ziyang seemed to have heard of the rumors in Chang'an market, but he forgot where it was. He snorted coldly and said, "Next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The township official laughed a few times, walked to Wei Ziyang, blocked Doctor Xu's sight, and kicked Wei Ziyang gently with his feet.
"I... I'm just too impatient. I'm sorry to the imperial physician. I dare not have another next time." Wei Ziyang's dark face turned red, like a ripe apricot, and he stammered: "My brother Wang Gua seems to have also had this harmful smallpox."
When Doctor Xu heard this, he walked out of the house anxiously and asked hurriedly: "Who is Wang Gua?"
"Meow coward!" Wei Ziyang patted Wang Gua's head.
Wang Gua nodded, and her inner timid appeared on the face of the man in Guanzhong. He was like a frightened quail, tightening his wings and tremblingly raising his red-spotted arms.
"It's smallpox, let's prepare for the funeral." Doctor Xu looked at this simple man with pity.
Wang Gua didn't even have the strength to sit on the ground. She was lying on the ground and gasping heavily. The rapid acceleration of her breathing frequency made him feel his brain blank. He felt that this was actually quite good in his heart.
Until a woman with the fragrance of Shelan stepped over his body blocking the door and said word by word in a delicate voice: "Doctor Xu, this may not be the case. Taoist said that he has a way to treat it."
"Daojun?" The township officials and yamen runners were shocked. They had never heard of anyone in this world who dared to call themselves "Daojun".
The king is the master of governance and debate——"Xunzi·Luote for Literature"
The king is the one who is the one who is in charge of the command——"Spring and Autumn Festival"
The meaning of the word "jun" is too important, let alone the king of Taoists? Even if Zhang Daoling, the real person of Zhengyi, is in his life, he probably wouldn't dare to call himself Taoist lord directly. That's a taboo.
In the Southern Dynasty's "Cengzhen Yin Jue" it is written: "There are subordinates in the three purity and nine palaces, and the left is better than the right, and their height is generally called Daojun, the second true man Zhengong, and the true king."
"Miss Huaping, come here..." Doctor Xu said in surprise. It is also a thing to be delighted to meet an acquaintance in this remote mountainous country after leaving the palace. He pointed to Liu Saner lying on the bed and Wang Gua who was limping on the ground, and said, "Miss Huaping, stay away from them. Women like you who are powerless are more likely to be infected with the disease. At that time, you can only wait for God to be kind to you like him."
When the yamen runners and the town officials heard the gentle and caring words of Doctor Xu, they couldn't help but guess who the girl Huaping was?
You should know that this Tai Doctor Xu is the Imperial Physician Order of the Imperial Physician Department, and is ranked fourth in the official position. Although he does not have real power, it is indeed a big deal for these "officials" who have no grade.
The fair face of the painting screen showed a slight smile, which was as fascinating as the orchid. The rippling hearts of others were as follows: Qu Yuan wrote in "Madam Xiang" "There are Zhi in Yuan and Lan in Li, and I miss the young master and dare not speak."
She pointed at Liu Saner with her green fingertips and said lightly: "Doctor Xu, have you forgotten that Daojun saved the third prince with moldy steamed buns a few days ago? Daojun has such skills, and you can't just doubt it."
"Impossible. Smallpox has been a terminal illness since ancient times, unless the patient survives it himself." Doctor Xu murmured, but soon became less determined. He thought to himself: "Daojun could use the pharmacology of moldy steamed buns to treat the third prince. He also said that snake venomously eats the belly without poison. Could it be... "
Doctor Xu raised his eyes and looked straight at the screen, with a hint of anticipation.
