Practicing Medicine in Three Kingdoms

When we returned to the banquet, it was past half of the night, and the staggered toasts made a crisp sound in the remnant lamp.The faces of the drunken soldiers all had a brisk smile of being reborn after a catastrophe, and Wu Jun and Liu Jun slept soundly together, shoulder to shoulder.

"Do you know how Captain Huang saved his life?" In the chaos, Li Yinzhou heard someone belch and tell a story, "He rushed over in a fireboat and jumped into the water at a critical moment. Who can see clearly that it is Captain Huang? He was picked up by Liu Jun who was blind, and he was locked in the latrine as a prisoner of war. rescued."

It was only when Huang Gai was still sick that this group of boys dared to make up the story of this veteran. Whether this anecdote is true or not remains to be determined, but judging from Ling Tong's secret smile before, it should be widely spread.

The soldiers onlookers all giggled, and Huang Gai's subordinates rolled up their sleeves as if they were about to beat up the talker, and there was a fuss.

Soldiers don't think about what to do after they win.

At least at this moment, Li Yinzhou thought, the two armies of Sun and Liu are true allies.

Even more exaggeratedly drunk than these little soldiers were the generals who participated in the battle. It was rare that Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong were not staring at them with cold and stern eyes. Drinking and singing wildly, toasting and screaming at the moon.

Gan Ning flicked the wine glass and said with a smile: "I heard that the song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu. On such a good day, the governor will show us a hand!"

Li Yinzhou almost tripped over this sentence.

Gan Xingba is the only one who dares to let the arrogant Zhou Yu play the piano for fun.

He thought of Jiangxia's small gathering that year, the same reckless behavior, and finally felt that there was one person missing in this feast, how could that chivalrous man be absent from the battle of Chibi?

"Where's your father?" Li Yinzhou turned his eyes to look at Ling Tong, seeing his cold eyes falling on Gan Ning's laughing face, his heart suddenly took a step, and there were ripples of uneasiness in his heart.

Ling Tong's expression changed but remained unchanged: "Ping Jiangxia was killed in battle."

He put it lightly.

Seizing Jiangxia was the first step taken by the Sun family after the pacification of the chaos. It is precisely because of the fertile soil of Jiangxia that Jiangdong is truly capable of fighting against Cao Ying on the Yangtze River.

After all, it is still not famous all over the world.

Li Yinzhou was silent for a moment, and calmly drank a glass of wine.

Xiaofeng blew her forehead and hair, and the watery moonlight fell on her chest. At the end of the banquet, a clear zither sounded.

The sound of the piano is flowing in the night, like the ice-breaking spring tide rushing in the mountains, rolling the broken ice to create a smooth rhythm, when it is gentle, it is like still water blowing willows, when it is intense, it is like turbulent waves hitting the shore, sometimes it is low and drizzle with slight waves, for a moment Then it soared high into the sky.

The strings burst out at the most exciting moment, and the song was not finished, only the lingering sound shook the supper.

Zhou Yu caressed the broken string pitifully.

Everyone has regretful expressions like waking up from a dream.

The night was too deep, and the tiredness slowly spread.Amidst the sleep-talking and snoring, the candles burned to the end, and a golden sun lit up the sky.

--------------

The next day, Li Yinzhou bid farewell to the coalition forces who were preparing to continue to conquer Jiangling.

The wound on his leg was treated simply, and the front line lacked medical resources and there was no condition for surgery. He knew very well that following him would only be a burden.

Ling Tong sent soldiers to take him back, and frowned at his pale face.

After a moment of silence, he still asked, "Can I still walk in the future?"

Li Yinzhou was lying on the horse's back in pain. After two days of delay, the condition of the wound was getting worse, but he just smiled: "I can walk, people can walk without a patella, but when they are old, they are more likely to be injured than others. .”

Hearing this, Ling Tong's frowned brows loosened easily. These people who are wandering in troubled times, every moment goes by, who cares about getting old and comfortable?

So he turned around and left chicly, waving his hand as farewell to him.

"No more, I have to follow the governor to take Jiangling!"

Seeing Ling Tong's figure gradually disappearing into the bright sky, Li Yinzhoufang let out a breath slowly, endured the severe pain, hoarse voice, and said to the worried little soldier: "I won't go back to Haichang, take me back to Wu County. "

Xiao Bing still hesitated: "But General Ling was entrusted by Captain Lu..."

"Go back." He paused, his face drenched in cold sweat forced himself to relax, and his sharp tone slowed down a bit, "Only Sun Xiaomei knows how to save my legs, and I just didn't want General Ling to worry."

The little soldier didn't dare to make any further mistakes, and urged his horse to embark on the road back to Wu.

Probably frightened by his serious eyes, he sailed very fast all the way.When the first rain fell in the new year, Wu Jun, who had been away for several years, appeared before his eyes.

Xiaobing probably only memorized the three words "Sun Xiaomei", and as soon as he entered the city gate, he changed to a post-horse and rode his horse to a corner in the south of the city.

The horseshoe smashed the spring rain and raised splashes of water.

"Hey, who are you?" The little girl hiding under the eaves panicked to avoid a few feet, and saw the galloping horse passing through the misty rain curtain, rushing into the courtyard gate with a neighing sound.

"Osmanthus, Jiangnan wood, the leader of hundreds of medicines, osmanthus is also..."

A thin layer of skylight shines on the low-lying rainwater, and the gray clouds are reflected in the circles of ripples, gathering and swaying with the crisp sound of reading.

In the hall, Sun Shangxiang was standing upright in front of the desk. Hearing the clatter of horseshoes, her voice paused for a while, then she suddenly smashed the scroll in her hand, turned and strode out the door expressionlessly.

"It's over, it's over." A pair of eyes that feared that the world would not be chaotic protruded from the scroll, waiting to see the female gentleman's daily drama of fighting a general, "Which one has no eyesight this time?"

Another person laughed wildly: "Hey, no matter who it is, it doesn't matter who it is, it needs a good meal! Why did you come here?"

Sun Shangxiang put on a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, held a broom stick in his hand, rolled up his long sleeves and tied up his trousers in a leisurely manner.

After a heavy rain curtain, a lightning-like flying horse approached more and more. She spun the broom and said slowly in a drawn-out tone: "Who ordered me to invite you, Your Majesty? , don't blame me for not staying..."

The high horseshoes cut through the mist, and the raindrops scattered in the wind.

Sun Shangxiang slowly widened his eyes.

With a clatter, the horse's hoof fell an inch in front of her, and the cold water splashed half of her body.

Xiaobing almost panicked and apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm here to see off Mr. Li."

The rain ticked.

Li Yinzhou hugged the horse's neck in embarrassment, raised his lips covered in cold rain, and smiled at Sun Shangxiang who was dismounting from the horse.

"Ah Xiang, I'm back."

……

The two reunited after a long absence, and they were already 25 or [-] years old. However, when they met again, they only looked at each other with a clear smile in their eyes.

Li Yinzhou also heard a little bit that the younger sister of the Sun family is a maverick, and has spent all these years running a school on her own to teach medical skills.

One must know that in this era when witch doctors do not separate families, except for famous people like Zhang Jihua Tuo, most doctors are in the eyes of the masses. In short, it doesn't have much to do with poor people.

People have no money to see a doctor, let alone study medicine.

Sun Shangxiang was able to do so impressively, except for the stubbornness in her own bones, presumably Sun Quan secretly took care of her a lot.

After talking about trivial matters, Li Yinzhou told Sun Shangxiang half of the purpose of the trip.

He didn't lie to Ling Tong, and he didn't lie to the soldier either. It's true that people without a patella will not affect their walking, but their knees are not wear-resistant, and they will not be able to walk when they get old.

But how could the torturer be polite?Not only the patella was damaged, but also the tendons and ligaments were severed. If the surgery could not be sutured in time, he would be unable to stand up for the rest of his life like Sun Bin.

Hearing what he said one by one, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help frowning deeply.

She looked at her hands, then raised her eyes to look at Li Yinzhou's clear eyes, and finally hesitated: "Shall I come?"

Even though she had already opened a school and became a master, such a delicate and bold operation still broke through Sun Shangxiang's cognition.

can she?

Li Yinzhou didn't want to embarrass her, but as Zhuge Liang said, a doctor doesn't heal himself, he can only entrust his trust to Axiang.

Deep and shallow raindrops pierced through the sky and the earth resoundingly, interspersed with the sound of rustling probes.

Li Yinzhou slightly turned his eyes.

A circle of misplaced figures crowded outside the door, their curious eyes met each other silently, scrambling to find out which hero has such a great face, not only was he not swept out by a broom, he was also invited Come in and be your honored guest.

Sun Shangxiang coughed dryly: "It's raining so hard, I'm afraid you don't want to go to school?"

The students outside the wall shivered, stepping on the raindrops to scatter.

Li Yinzhou's gaze was much softer: "There are so many people willing to practice medicine."

Sun Shangxiang stared at his legs worryingly: "This is just to borrow the reputation of your master and apprentice. It would be great if Mr. Zhang was here, but he is elusive, and he doesn't know where he is now."

The news of Zhang Ji's entry into the prison in Yecheng was not disclosed, even if Cao Cao wanted to kill him in revenge, he would never spread the news, which just gave him and Sima Yi room to manipulate.

Li Yinzhou put aside the matter for the time being, and lowered his eyes to look at the eroded left knee, making up his mind.

"Don't be afraid, I will teach you."

Sun Shangxiang was so stunned that he lost his voice for a moment.

"I'll teach you, just to show them." Li Yinzhou looked at her teasingly, his eyes shining brightly on his pale face, "Mr. Sun won't be afraid to hold a knife, will he?"

His voice is warm/like/spring breeze, but inexplicably has a firm power.

As if he said so, everything can be easily solved.

Sun Shangxiang raised his eyes to meet his encouraging sight, all the hesitation in his heart was blown away, he raised his chest and shook his head vigorously, then nodded again.

"it is good."

It has been delayed for a long time, and the operation will proceed immediately.

He taught Sun Shangxiang basic surgical skills and anatomical knowledge in the early years, what she lacks is the accumulation of experience.In order to accurately guide her to go under the knife, Li Yinzhou did not take anesthesia.

Several students were squeezed outside the window, staring dumbfounded at the unheard of treatment methods inside the window.

Sun Shangxiang knelt beside the straw mat calmly.

Simply clean the wound, and pick off the broken ends of the flesh.

After these few cuts, Li Yinzhou only felt pain rushing to his mind, burning every nerve like a fire.Immediately, his vision was covered with a layer of blood mist, and he twisted his eyelids vigorously to force himself to see the slightly trembling blade on his leg.

"Did you mean these two before?" Sun Shangxiang carefully picked up a part of flesh and blood.

Through sweaty eyelashes, the scene in front of him was somewhat blurred, but Li Yinzhou could still see at a glance that it was the quadriceps femoris and the patellar ligament, and Sun Shangxiang found it very quickly and accurately.

As expected of the student I fancy, he gritted his teeth and grinned happily, enduring the bursting pain and continuing to point her out.

"Match end to end and sew it up."

……

An hour later, when the last stitch was started, Li Yinzhou could only feel the pain until it turned into a bitter smell, which lingered on his lips and tongue for a long time.I wanted to say a few more words to praise Sun Shangxiang, but my teeth were clenched and trembling, and I really didn't have the strength to open them.

Sun Shangxiang was not very good-looking either, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched nervously, his fingers trembled and curled up tightly, unable to relax for a moment.

The two lay down and knelt, soaked in sweat, and looked at each other with a smile.

There was a sound of spring thunder rolling down.

Only then did the students outside the hall come back to their senses as if they had woken up, their eyes shone with shock.

The rain fell loudly, and the lightning illuminated the mountains and rivers for a moment. In a trance, the sound of bright footsteps crushed the spray.

Li Yinzhou turned his head subconsciously, his eyes gradually became clear in the gradually darkening sky.

A slender figure stood at the door like this.

in the rain.
