Micro Herbs

It may not be more appropriate to describe Baiji's trip as time running like water.

Carriage, Junior Brother, and a chest of drawers filled with medicinal materials.

Walk around and look around, practice mental skills every day, and drive with Xiao Ba when I am interested, not only the body is more refreshed, but also the mind is opened up a lot, and occasionally I stop to set up a free clinic.This kind of life lasted for more than three months, although not seeing Bai Wei, it was not difficult, even if there was still some concern.

"Senior brother, there is a town ahead, let's go and have a rest and eat something?" Although the destination is approaching, but now he has already left the customs, whether it is safe at night or not, but water and dry food must be prepared.The land outside the pass is vast, and the inns are far away, so whenever they see towns and villages, most of them will go there to take a rest.

"Okay, it just so happens that there is not much dry food and water left, so I need to prepare more." Hearing the sound, Baiji checked the dry food bag and water bag slightly and replied, then put on his cloak and sat down on Su Zichen who was driving beside.

"It's so lively here."

After handing over Lu Yin to the city gate guard for inspection, the two got out of the cart and led the horse towards the city.

Probably because of the border between this place and the Tuyuhun Turks, many people in the city don’t dress like Han people, and the food is even more dazzling.Su Zichen took the heavy responsibility of taking care of Baiji during this trip, so although he didn't bring a lot of silver taels for safety reasons, the 500 taels of loose silver plus copper coins was enough for the two of them to spend comfortably along the way.

When it comes to picky food, Su Zichen, who has been an imperial cook for several generations, has the most say: "Brother, there are baked buns, let's try it?"

"You have the hardest time on this journey, you have the final say." As for the bletilla striata, which has meat and steamed buns, what to eat has never been the most important thing, and the shops chosen by Su Zichen have never been unpalatable.

After tying the carriage to the pillars of the tea shed outside the steamed stuffed bun shop, and letting Bai Ji sit down with the bundle first, Su Zichen came to the oven table where the buns were baked, smiling brightly: "Uncle, how do you sell these buns? "

"Three pennies a piece." The master who was kneading the dough with his head bowed seemed to be of some barbarian blood, with a high nose and deep eyes. Hearing someone's question, he hurriedly raised his head and answered with a smile.Naturally, he also praised his own products by the way, "My little brother is not a local, but the roasted buns and mutton here are famous far and wide. Anyone who comes to our place must try it."

And Su Zichen was very cooperative with this: "Then let's have ten baked buns, one catty of meat, and two bowls of Fu tea."

"Okay~" People who are used to business are extremely nimble, and it just so happened that the steamed buns were ready to be baked, so the table in front of Bai Ji was filled with fragrant baked steamed stuffed buns, freshly scooped meat, and greasy steamed stuffed buns. Fu tea.

"It smells so good, brother, try one soon." When the buns were on the table, Su Zichen picked one up for the bletilla striata, and then took one for himself, carefully biting it off, the gravy was as expected, the skin was thin and crispy, It's really delicious.

The buns are not big, and when they are colder, they can be eaten in only three or four bites.Su Zichen drove the car all the way and was also a little hungry, and was about to take another one, but suddenly heard some commotion not far away, turned his head to see where the sound came from, but saw a bunch of people surrounded by people inside and out, I don't know what happened: "Is something wrong? There seems to be crying."

"I didn't hear the sound of fighting, don't be bitten by some poison." Standing up and looking at the crowd, Bai Ji frowned slightly, thinking of something not so good.Here is close to the desert, and there are many poisonous scorpions and snakes. If you are really bitten by these poisonous things and don't rescue them in time, you may die in a few moments. "Go and have a look."

"Brother, you eat first, I'll go." Stuffing the bundle into Baiji's arms, Su Zichen casually copied another bun and bit it, then flew towards the crowd lightly with one step.

*******************************************

Baiji bit the bun and looked at Su Zichen's figure before disappearing behind the wall of people, and then the crowd dispersed slightly, probably to make room for treatment.Thinking in this way, he ate the buns in two or three mouthfuls, opened the carriage door, counted the medicine box, spread out clean cotton cloths in the carriage, and borrowed two bowls of warm water from the master bun shop master, then washed his hands and waited by the side .Sure enough, it didn't take long to see the crowd step aside, and Su Zichen inside was rushing towards this side with a little girl in his arms, followed by a woman with tears all over her face.

The child was only eight or nine years old, and his body temperature had already started to rise when he was put into the carriage.

The purple-black swollen wound was on the calf near the ankle, with two crossed incisions on it, and a hair band was tightly tied on the calf. It was obviously an emergency treatment that Su Zichen had just done in the past.

"Rattle viper?" After looking at the wound, he stretched out his hand to look at the child's eyelids. Baiji's expression froze. With one hand, he opened the drawer and took out a pumpkin-shaped vial and threw it to Su Zichen. With the other hand, he opened the needle pouch. Start to stitch.

Fortunately, their purpose of going out this time was clear, and Nan Mi and Head Ling knew that there were many poisons in the desert, so they prepared several kinds of highly targeted detoxification pills in advance.Otherwise, if you rely on the preparation and preparation, no matter how good the bletilla striata acupuncture method is, this little girl may die before the antidote is ready.

"It's almost inseparable." After taking the bottle, he poured out a pill and melted it for the child to drink. Su Zichen had a rare expression on his smiling baby face.

"Create a one-inch hole two or four inches above the wound and a one-inch hole on the thigh to see if the blood coagulates. If it is successful, take two pieces of ointment and cover it. If it is not successful, it will go up." I don't know if I have been practicing Qingxin Jue recently. Because of this, even though Bai Ji now has two purposes at once, the speed and accuracy of needles are actually a step further than before.

"Fortunately, I didn't touch my knees." Su Zichen spoke quickly and followed the words. Su Zichen squeezed out the blood from the knife edge and took a look, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.Then he did not relax, opened the pills neatly, smeared the ointment thickly on the incision and tied it tightly with a cloth, then took the child's hand and poured the inner force to push the medicine away, and only after the response was over did he breathe lightly and wipe the acne on his forehead sweat.And on the other side, the bletilla striata that had injected the needle also stopped its movements almost at the same time.

"Doctor, how is my Anar?" Seeing that the two of them had stopped, the woman who had been waiting by her side and dared not speak finally opened her mouth tremblingly with red and swollen almond eyes.

"We have done everything we can, and the next step is to wait for the medicine to take effect." He stretched out his hand to measure the temperature on the child's forehead and the back of the neck, until it was confirmed that the temperature had dropped compared to the beginning, Baiji Fang smiled at the woman He smiled, "Sit down and wait, even if the medicine is effective, it will take a moment or two to wake up."

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor!" Seeing that the child's complexion did improve, the woman was about to kneel down and kowtow to the two with tears in her eyes, but Su Zichen hurriedly got out of the car and pulled him up.

"Don't be too polite, elder sister. It's what we doctors are supposed to do. Come, have a sip of Fu tea to calm down the shock." Su Zichen casually brought the untouched bowl of Fu tea on the table to the woman, and Su Zichen smiled reassuringly. Smiling, he took another bowl and handed it to the bletilla striata whose forehead was sweating a little, "Brother, tea."

All these actions are just for the benevolence of the doctor.However, the two busy people didn't know that their good deeds had already fallen into the eyes of the caring people sitting at another stall, and troubles were about to arise.

*********************************************

With the gratitude of the woman and the little girl, and after collecting a lot of seasonal melons and fruits as a thank you gift, the two were finally able to eat their already half-warm meals.In addition to filling his stomach, Su Zichen did not forget his original plan to replenish dry food. After filling the four water bags, he ordered a bunch of things suitable for storage.

"Five catties of small oily naan, twenty oven cakes, ten catties of smoked horse meat, and ten catties of smoked horse intestines." The dry weather at the border is suitable for food storage. The food is delicious, and it will be safe to store more dry food on the trip, so Su Zichen didn't plan to buy it.It's just that when they counted, they found that there was a large package of sliced ​​roasted whole lamb and twenty baked buns in the pile of things.

"Uncle, you made a mistake. I didn't want roast mutton and buns." Su Zichen was slightly taken aback, and wanted to return the extra things.

"Little doctor is kind-hearted. Uncle likes it, so I gave it to you." The master chef who was chopping lamb chops for other guests turned his head when he heard this, but laughed.

"How embarrassing that is."

"Anal is a good boy. Our neighbors like her very much. You saved her life today and you are our benefactors. These things are just treats. If the little doctor doesn't accept them, it will not give me face as an old man." Just now the two He saw the appearance of saving people, and he sighed in his heart, anyway, he was cutting others with ease.

"Little Ba, take it." After Su Zichen wanted to refuse again, Bai Ji smiled lightly, but put a bag of things in front of the master.It was the formula he had just written and some medicinal powders, which could be regarded as another good deed.

"Uncle, this is the insect repellent powder we made ourselves. There are many snakes and insects near the desert. You and the neighbors sprinkle these around the shop as a precaution. The one wrapped outside is a prescription. Find a room when you run out." If the pharmacy dispenses some more, it is not a precious medicinal material."

"This is a life-saving thing, thank you so much!" People who have lived in the border area outside the Great Wall have their own methods of repelling snakes, but it is obviously not as effective as bletilla striata and other people who have been trained in medicine for a long time.The master is also aware of the toxicity of rattlesnakes. In the past, if he was bitten, it would be a death sentence. Now that Baiji striata was given to Fang Zi, knowing that it must be a good thing, his gratitude is hard to restrain.

"Uncle's craftsmanship is so good, we will come again if we have the chance. Xiaoba, let's go." Nodding with a smile, Bai Ji left a small purse on the table and pulled Su Zichen into the carriage, "Drive ——!”

But when the master came back from the prescription and opened the purse, he was taken aback by the two small silver ingots in total of five liang and a total of ten taels: "Wait——! Too much!"

"Put it away--" Waving his hand, Su Zichen replied loudly, only then did he realize that it's not the time now, if he doesn't stay in the city, he might have to spend the night in the desert, "Senior Brother, Shall we hurry today?"

"I heard that the stars at night in the desert are beautiful, how about trying?" Zuo Zuo's trip was already presumptuous, so what if he was bold again?

"Okay~" During this trip, seeing Baiji's body getting better day by day, and smiling more and more, Su Zichen didn't mention how happy he was, let alone spending the night in the desert with him, he would be happy even if it was a barbecue in the snow mountain .But before he could have any more fun, a person suddenly fell in front of the forward carriage, so startled that he almost didn't pull the rein.

"Woo—" He hastened to stop the carriage and took a closer look, but he was a young Taoist priest wearing a blue and white Taoist robe with white hair and a big gourd on his back. from somewhere.

"This Taoist priest, I don't know what advice you can give to block our way this time?" Baiji and Su Zichen looked at each other, their brows slightly frowned.Their carriage was stopped as soon as they left the city gate. It was obvious that they had been targeted in the city just now. Looking at this man's demeanor, he seemed to be upright, but he didn't know what his intention was.

"Poverty Dao Yuxu Qiu Ze, I would like to ask two doctors to come with me to treat a person." Although the Taoist's eyebrows and eyes were a little cold, his appearance was very handsome, but the slender scar with a broken eyebrow on his right eye seemed a bit hostile , The tone of speech is also polite.Seeing that the two seemed to be hesitating, he added lightly, "Please also go with me to try, no matter whether you succeed or not, Pindao will send you back safely, so you can rest assured."

Having said so much, Baiji also knew that he had to go this trip.The one on the left is saving the two, and the two of them are not capable enough to do whatever they want, so let's just form a good relationship.

"May I ask what symptoms the person mentioned by Daoist Qiu has?"

"Poisoned."

"Then ask the Taoist priest to get in the car and show the way." Sighing lightly without further words, Bai Ji patted Su Zichen's shoulder and vacated into the carriage, giving up his seat on the driver's seat.

The author has something to say: the method of removing snake venom in this chapter is my nonsense, just take a look and don’t take it seriously_(:з」∠)_

And that's right, Bai Xiaoliu and Su Xiaoba were hijacked in this way, so if there are few people and not strong enough, don't travel long distances casually, you will really be murdered and stolen if you are not careful~

By the way, can anyone guess who the Daoist is? 233333
