Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

Li Yinzhou didn't know much about ancient official positions, but he also knew that a prefect of a county is basically equivalent to the current governor, the head of a majestic province, would he come to such a rural corner in person?

Not only Li Yinzhou, but the Sun brothers and sisters also showed puzzled expressions. Their suspicious eyes lingered on Liu Tingchang for a moment, but they didn't find any flaws.

Sun Quan weighed it up and said, "Is it worth the eunuch's visit for the affairs of the countryside?"

Gu Shao lay weakly on the carriage, but he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He insisted on inserting a sentence: "Grandfather has always been so diligent and caring for the people. He did everything by himself. He is not a barbarian who only invades and loots."

These words were stabbing Sun and his son again, Lu Bo was afraid that the two children would quarrel again, so he hurriedly took the words, telling stories like coaxing children.

"You don't know that the prefect was the magistrate in Gaocheng County in the past. The people there are scattered and thieves are rampant. Five county magistrates can't manage it. Even the court can only turn a blind eye."

"In the end, guess what happened? The prefect has only been away for two years, and he has personally dealt with both big and small matters. Even the robbers admire his high righteousness and follow his example. Although the Duke is now higher than Jiuqing, he still sticks to his old habits."

It sounds like this is indeed a good official who loves the people like a son.

Although Sun Quan always disdained the lofty attitude of the Lu family, but in all fairness, even if it is the power technique of Shuen Lide, it can win people's hearts and be peaceful everywhere, which is a real benefit to the common people.

He snorted noncommittally, thought for a moment, and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Little sister, you stay here and take care of that little girl. I think she is timid, so you better not join in the fun."

Sun Shangxiang had long been ambitious and wanted to teach the ignorant villagers a lesson, but how could he hold back, he kicked Gu Shao's legs that were weak and hanging down: "Isn't it enough to let this sick cat watch?"

Sun Quan gave Lu Xun a wink, and Lu Xun understood, and took the words kindly: "If you want to convince the villagers, you have to show Gu Shao to speak out. Besides, he is sick now, so let him take care of him. We don't have to worry about it. I have to help you, Axiang." gone."

The words sounded more pleasant, and Sun Shangxiang was not an unreasonable person, so she reluctantly agreed: "Indeed, this girl is much more reliable than that nerd."

----

The group settled the two little girls and changed the carriage. After a while, the slightly dilapidated mountain temple came into view.

Without Sun Shangxiang's talking point, the journey was extraordinarily quiet, even Gu Shao couldn't bear the loneliness, and said hoarsely, "Why don't you let that crazy girl come with you, it's really boring."

Sun Quan never paid much attention to him, and Lu Xun just smiled softly: "If you have the strength, save it for later."

Seeing the perfunctory looks of these two people, Gu Shao immediately cherished the brutal and violent Sun Shangxiang, at least she would still talk to him!

Li Yinzhou looked at the angry Gu Shao, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. In terms of intelligence, Gu Shao was considered extremely smart, but in terms of dealing with the world, he was indeed far worse than those two children.

The two of them kept Sun Shangxiang in the same spirit, just because they were worried that she would explode like a chestnut as soon as they were fried.

While they were thinking about each other, the carriage came to a steady stop, and many villagers surrounded the temple in the morning, and when they saw Li Yinzhou hiding behind Lu Bo, their lazy eyes suddenly became fierce. .

"It's him! Little beggar! How dare he run away!"

"Quick, grab him, and if you provoke the mountain god again, we will all die!"

There were so many people, a group of people made a fuss, and even the officers and soldiers were not afraid. Some bold and ruthless ones had already pushed aside the blocking guns and stretched out their hands to catch Li Yinzhou.

"Bullshit!"

When the words settled down, there was a clear and loud cracking sound. Everyone looked back subconsciously, and saw a mahogany stick standing firmly on the ground as if it had taken root, and a bit of cold light flashed on the straight line. Demonstrating the unshakable status of the master. [1]

The owner of the stick was much thinner than Li Yinzhou imagined, his skinny bones were wrapped in a heavy official uniform, and he let out two hoarse coughs as if he was overwhelmed.

Lu Bo protected Li Yinzhou in his arms, pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, walked up to the prefect Lu, took out a kit from his sleeve, and took out two pills the size of pearls, but the prefect Lu waved his hand to signal him accept.

He coughed twice, his overused voice was like an old wooden door, which made a heart-piercing sound when it opened and closed.

"The old man came here today to give everyone an explanation." He looked around with a dignified gaze, "Everyone here, has anyone ever seen a god get angry?"

There was silence for a while.

After all, the villagers just listened to the witch doctor's words, passed on word of mouth, and there was no evidence. Now that they were questioned by the prefect Lu, of course they couldn't explain why.

As for those witch doctors, they were pretending to be gods and tricking ghosts, but still

How to draw a gourd, what the old witch doctor said, they will talk nonsense together, anyway, ghosts and gods are responsible for everything, and no one dares to question their authority.

In the silence, Gu Shao's voice seemed weak: "Grand... the prefect, I have met."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the pale Gu Shao.

Those witch doctors were just talking nonsense, and they had no idea. When they heard that someone had actually seen it, they urged him to continue: "What did the gods say?"

Gu Shao leaned softly on Lu Xun's body, and feebly took out a big bright red mushroom from his arms: "This is it."

These were the mushrooms he picked up last night, and he was going to bring them to his three little friends to taste. He was angry, but he wanted to reconcile with them, but he didn't expect this to happen.

The witch doctor was even more confused: "Boy, don't lie, this is clearly a mushroom!"

Gu Shao slowly shook his head. Last night he vomited and lost too much water, and after running around all morning, his legs could no longer stand.

When Zhang Ji saw this, he was no longer ready to show off. He went straight forward, picked the mushroom in Gu Shao's hand, held it high above his head, and said to the prefect Lu: "Report to the prefect, whether you are a beggar or a young master Gu." Well, the gods they saw were not real, but illusions caused by poisoning."

Poisoning is understandable, but the word phantasm is too unfamiliar to the backward villagers.

Li Yinzhou looked at the surprised expressions of the villagers looking at each other, and couldn't help admiring the greatness of the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing in his heart. He was able to explore the true knowledge of dialectics in such an ignorant era, just like Copernicus who proposed the heliocentric theory. It is not an exaggeration to go against the sky.

I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet those rumored ancestors in this life, Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, Dong Feng, if I can talk to one of them, it will be a worthwhile trip.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zhang Ji was not in a hurry, and patiently explained: "This kind of mushroom is recorded in ancient books. It is a common poison in the Northeast. Because of the wind and rain in the east of the Yangtze River, this kind of mushroom is rare, so few people recognize it. .Once a person eats this mushroom, they will become insane and have delusions, mistakenly thinking that they have seen ghosts and gods, but in fact they are not real objects."

The villagers found it difficult to digest these understandings for a while, and whispered to each other, as if they were a little shaken, but they didn't really believe it.

Prefect Lu pondered for a moment, his rich life experience gave him a broad perspective, and he was not as stubborn as the villagers.

He always had doubts about what Zhang Ji said, but he had to support it.Sacrifice this

Once a precedent is set, it will be thousands of times more difficult to contain it in the future than it is today.

His old eyes no longer had the brilliance of his youth, but they had accumulated the calmness of the years, making him look more calm.After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly: "The old man believes that there are gods in the world."

The expressions of the villagers softened a little. As long as their beliefs were not attacked, the witch doctor would be more flexible on other issues. As long as he could give a plausible explanation and a reason to follow the crowd, they could be easily persuaded.

"Mr. Zhang just said that these mushrooms are common in the bitter cold regions of the Northeast, but rare in Jiangdong. Then the mushrooms in the temple must have been made by the gods. These beggars took it for themselves, so they were punished by the gods."

Prefect Lu paused every word, his voice hoarse, but his momentum remained the same: "And the two boys didn't steal the mushrooms, so they escaped unharmed. It can be seen that everything happens for a reason, and the gods have forgiven them, and you shouldn't be relentless." .”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Li Yinzhou was a little unexpected. How could Lu Taishou's strange angle twist the ghost talk into a fable?

The witch doctor's explanation of ghosts and gods is too nonsensical, and Zhang Ji's popular science is too difficult to understand. For these ignorant villagers, this kind of explanation is indeed the best to accept.

It can be seen that strategic deception has existed since ancient times.

Prefect Lu didn't change his face: "You should learn the lesson, don't be a thief, don't be evil, the gods will naturally protect you, you should avoid those mushrooms when you see them in the future, as for those two children..."

He turned his eyes to Li Yinzhou who was in Lu Bo's arms, and his expression was much gentler: "The children are innocent, this old man will find a place for them and take them away from the village, so you don't have to worry about it."

The villagers thought that prefect Lu must come here to reprimand them, but he persuaded them with nice words, and finally gave them a way to make concessions.

The prefect has already backed down to this point, if they persist in their views, they will be too ignorant.

At first, the man who wanted to rob Li Yinzhou took the lead and shouted: "See you, the prefect! The grassroots have been taught!"

The rest of the villagers also showed shame and shouted together. The tense atmosphere at first dissipated, and the scene became unusually harmonious.

Li Yinzhou couldn't help applauding in his heart, this is definitely the highest state of harmony, no wonder even robbers could be fooled into good people before, the routine has been popular since ancient times.

In this farce, Zhang Ji, a pure tool man, suddenly felt like he was being used.

Is he not like Sun Shangxiang?

The stubborn child, of course, knew that this was the best ending, but after being used by Prefect Lu, he always had to ask for something back.

He pointed to Li Yinzhou with a smile: "I think this child is talented and intelligent. Since the prefect wants to find a place for them, why not just stay with me and be a medicine boy."

Prefect Lu patted Li Yinzhou's head: "Are you willing?"

Li Yinzhou thinks it's pretty good, the best way to survive in the troubled times is to do one's own job, to be a doctor in Lujiang, where the law and order is good, and to spend this life peacefully, is the best way for now.

He nodded obediently: "But according to the prefect's arrangement."

Prefect Lu nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, let this child follow you, Zhong Jing."

Li Yinzhou froze in place.

Zhang, Zhongjing.

...He never thought that Zhongjing was not a name, but a brand name.
