Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

After a gentle rest for a few days, Qiu Yu came back in a frenzied manner.Dark clouds overwhelm the city, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, the rhythm of day and night is out of order, and the sky never breaks again.

This is really an eventful year, the battle situation on the front line is anxious, and Wu County in the rear is faced with a once-in-a-century storm. Tiangong swept the flames of victory in the Battle of Chibi with a destructive momentum.

And this small corner of the deserted city, which is placed in a corner of the mountains, seems to have been completely sunk into darkness, completely forgotten by the busy people.

Even the apprentice who came with him was a little shaken, and couldn't help looking up over and over again, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or chatting with Li Yinzhou: "It's almost winter, and we are deaf and dumb every other day." , even if the vicissitudes of life outside are endless. The things sent are getting less and less, it seems that Zhu Taishou has nothing to do."

Another apprentice had a bitter face, and said in a low voice: "Seeing that the mountain torrents are flooding, why don't we hurry up while we can still go? Sir, don't scold me for being greedy for life and fear of death. If you stay here, you will only be buried in the end. A man can bend and stretch. , it’s better to protect yourself first, and then make plans later.”

Hearing the two of them murmur, a wry smile appeared on Li Yinzhou's lips.

If they were really greedy for life and afraid of death, they would never dare to come here.

How could Zhu Zhi be a heartless and ungrateful person?If so, he should have burned them all with a fire, why delay until today and become a burden that cannot be left behind and cannot be carried.

They just had to settle an account, the same money, spent on wars, disaster relief, and expanding the fields, which one is better than spending on these orphans, widows, old and weak?

Destiny is an extremely fair and mean scale, which measures the high and low of life, and shows it without prejudice in disasters.

And what can a battered prefect and three unarmed witch doctors change?

The Jackdaw flew high with a creaking sound against the skylight, and a black spot like the shadow of an arrow passed before his eyes.The two wings that were gradually diverging away trembled in the autumn wind, and then disappeared deeply into the zenith, like a stone thrown into a deep pool, rolling away and then making no sound.

Li Yinzhou also looked into the distance, but what he saw was not the city, but the water.

Waves of turmoil rose up in the yellowed miasma, and the turbulent flow that nourished the water and soil turned into a giant mouth of a python, trying to swallow the mountains and rivers.

……

The next day, with a loud bang, the closed city gate pushed away the mud and rain all over the ground, and reopened to the people.

The two apprentices rushed over excitedly to check the situation, only to see a few soldiers rushing into the city barefoot wading through the water.

"Sir, there is a torrent outside the city, and now there is no place to stand!" Xiao Bing hurriedly wiped off the rain, his wet eyelashes kept shaking, "There has been no news from the county for three days, and the water on the road is all gone." Up to the bottom of the mountain! I'm afraid..."

He lowered his voice: "I'm afraid the counties are too busy to take care of themselves."

The gloomy sky penetrated the rain column and fell on the wide-open city gate, leaving a deep double shadow, showing the heavy depression like a mountain.

People were shrouded in dark light, their faces turned pale after the heat had faded, and the hope that had just grown was extinguished in the rain again.

The younger apprentice immediately turned his head, shivering and picking up his burden, he dragged Li Yinzhou's hand and walked out: "It's only thirty miles away, at worst we'll just wade through the water and go back. I'm strong and can... "

He made a sound.

The gate of the city was opened, and skinny bodies gathered in front of them silently. Countless pairs of red eyes were burning with sickness, staring at the group of three people who were staggering and dragging.

Through the rain, his eyes were so cold that people shivered.

The apprentice stammered and tried to explain: "I, we don't mean to abandon you when we go back. It's not a solution for everyone to be trapped inside together. If we want to leave, we have already left, right? Mr. Li, you say..."

Before he could finish his words, he pressed down heavily with one hand.

The five fingers on his wrist tightened, suppressing his uneasy mood.

The little apprentice froze in place, not daring to make a sound or move, only feeling a scoop of water splashing on his face, and in the noisy rain, only the person beside him stood still like a mountain or an ocean.

"Reinforcements will come soon, everyone, don't be impatient." Mr. Li's voice was still calm, but at this moment he was not so convincing.

The wind and rain are like darkness, and the mountain torrents are rolling.

At such a juncture, who would care about their worthless sick bodies?Who still regards them as human lives?

"You lied to us!" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, "You said that you brought us here for treatment, just to find a place to silence us, and you have no intention of letting us out alive! You, you want me to die, don't Want to get out alive—”

When the words came to this point, there was a sudden killing intent.

In the boundless rain, a slender figure rushed out precariously, he found a machete from nowhere, stared at Li Yinzhou coldly, and pounced on him while speaking!

The cold light flickered in the rainy night.

The soldiers holding the soldiers were three feet away from them, and they were powerless to defend them!

With a bang of lightning and flint, a dagger long in the palm of your hand twirled rapidly in the palm of your hand, cut the rain curtain, and hit the tip of the knife hard, piercing through, breaking it in two!

The dagger sliced ​​open the machete and pressed up on the neck of the approaching man, forcing him to stumble and take two steps back.

tick--a-

Drops of water dripped from the tip of the cold front.

What was reflected on the dagger was a pair of unbelievable eyes. How could he have expected that Mr. Li, who was always gentle and refined, would also have a violent side of mobilizing troops to kill people.

After a brief moment of confrontation, the rain curtain came up, outlining a clear and long back.

Li Yinzhou frowned lightly: "Everyone go back."

Only the sound of the rain answered indifferently, and a tense string in everyone's minds trembled anxiously, and for a moment they couldn't tell what the simple sentence "go back" meant.

"Go back." Li Yinzhou turned the dagger, pressed the back of the knife against his tense and pulsating blood vessels, and said coldly, "There is a torrent outside, and even the soldiers cannot come over. If you go out, you will die. It is useless for you to kill me. The natural disaster has already passed. Enough, do you want to add another disaster?"

But there is no way out if you stay!

Not only the sick people, but even the apprentices and soldiers had gloomy eyes. Are there any reinforcements that Mr. Li mentioned, and when will they come?

Li Yinzhou's eyes flickered in the rain, and his voice was deep: "I said, since I came with you, I will return with you."

……

Night falls.

The dark red stove was burning the last remaining wood, but the tongue of fire that was suppressed underneath gradually protruded out, flashing brightly and dimly on the faces of the surrounding people.

The little apprentice twisted the water on his sleeves, walked over with a blank expression, and sat down, his tall back blocking all the firelight.

The patients dared not speak out.

Li Yinzhou and a few small soldiers explained the matters of duty, and walked over.

The little apprentice hastily moved out a part of his buttocks to make room for him: "Mister's legs are not good, don't catch the cold, come and bake."

Han has had enough.

Pain is nothing more than that.

Li Yinzhou looked down at the pupil's faintly resentful eyes.

Cold legs are not terrible, if the heart is cold, but it can never be warm again.

He pushed back his wet robe and sat beside the young man with his legs curled up.

The figure behind him shrank back again.

"If you want me to say, why come here, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and we can't stop people from dying, so why rush into this muddy water." He raised his voice and said to the room full of people, "Sir, you don't know something. Illness can be cured, but stupidity can't!"

The words with a gun and a stick are just about pointing at people's noses and cursing.

Another older apprentice squatted in a corner, although he said nothing, his face was not very good-looking.

The enthusiasm of young people is a fire that ignites hard work, but now it is poured by the cold rain of human feelings, leaving only the lost smoke hanging on the cold chest.

They just feel worthless for Mr. Li.

It was silent for a while, but there was no response. The little apprentice was also used to Mr. Li not answering their childish words, and he hugged his knees and muttered in circles by himself.

In the rest of his eyes, he glanced at Li Yinzhou worriedly.

But he saw that he lowered his eyes slightly and looked at himself leisurely.

His eyes narrowed, he became tense for no reason, and while his heart was beating, he could vaguely see a gentle smile on his quiet face.

"It's pretty stupid." Li Yinzhou's eyes flicked back, but he didn't refute the angry words, but nodded approvingly, "But it's not bad."

The little apprentice couldn't believe it: "Isn't that bad?"

Li Yinzhou rolled his eyes.

His eyes quietly fell on a sliver of fire swaying in the wind, and he stopped talking.

At the end of the day, they just want to survive.

If you can't, you don't want to be deceived to death.

……

Dark clouds covered the sun, heavy rain poured down, and in a gloomy and dark field, the passage of time had no measure. They always felt that three or five days had passed, but the only remaining reason told them that only a few hours had passed.

The occasional sound of sharp points breaking through the wall can still be vaguely heard.

They are too lazy to take care of it, and they really don't have the energy to do it.

The heavy rain soaked up the only stockpiled food, and the sick people scrambled for the moldy and smelly food. They reluctantly gave up after the soldiers showed their weapons, but they always looked at them suspiciously.

At least the disease has been cured to a minimum, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to fight against them.

Li Yinzhou thought bitterly.

The life that grows out of suffering is a tenacious weed. As long as a little water, a little rain, and a little hope of living, it can continue in the coldest and darkest corners.

The rain continued.

After the sharp sound sounded for the fifth time, in the gloom, a refreshing and bright voice pierced the rainy night——

"Mr. Li—Mr. Li!"

The little apprentice yawned, opened his eyes a little, and looked at the puddles all over the ground, but there was no one there.

Food has been out for two days, who has the strength to act like this?Besides, she was obviously a woman!

It is better to continue to sleep.

As soon as the swollen eyelids closed, they opened like fire, and the pupils shrank in disbelief.

Just now it was...

Footsteps gradually approached.

He almost scrambled to find Li Yinzhou, grabbed his shoulders and shook him vigorously: "Sir, sir! Someone is really here!"

Li Yinzhou opened his eyes impatiently while half asleep and half awake.

A thin and capable figure fell down.

The rain had stopped at some point, and a clear blue sky glaringly greeted my eyes.

Bright light shone on the person who came.

The woman put her hands on her hips, her willow eyebrows stood upright, and her voice was as loud as a bell, every single word woke up the dreamer——

"I am the wife of General Lu Subian. I am under the general's order to recruit the rich and righteous from the people, open warehouses and donate money to help the victims of disasters!"

The author has something to say: make up for last night

In fact, the protagonist's force value has not increased much, mainly because the quality of the dagger given by Quan'er is too high (bushi
