General regrets the original [rebirth]

The living needs of ordinary people in a year are only one and a half taels of silver, a full 30 taels, and there is still a lot left after the money, which is a huge sum of money.

Shangzhou City is thousands of miles away from the northwest border, and it takes three to five months to walk tens of miles a day, which is too much time.Ordinary horses can travel three to four hundred miles a day, but it only takes about a month, but there is a shortage of horses in this dynasty, and rare things are more expensive. A horse costs at least 80 taels of silver, which is really unaffordable.

It is enough to go to the arena once, but it will be eye-catching if you go too many times, adding to the trouble.

Thinking this way, Xiao Qi went to the tailor's shop to change his clothes, and bought two for Ajie and himself.He turned to the Escort again, and negotiated a price with the owner of the Escort on the grounds of visiting relatives. Five days later, there was a trip to the Northwest Escort.

When she came out of the escort agency, it was a big deal on her mind, and she returned with a full load of roasted chicken and cakes and candies bought in the market.

***

Inside the ruined temple, the bonfire flickered and the dead branches were burning. Under the heat, Rong Chu and A Qi sat facing each other around the fire, and there was silence in the night.

The leftover roasted chicken bones were piled aside, exuding a tempting aroma, and the brand new clothes were placed on the bed made of straw, holding the ten or so taels of silver that A Qi forced to force.

Rong Chu pinched it hard, the hard edges and corners pierced the flesh and caused slight pain, reminding her that everything in front of her was real.

She was speechless.

What A Qi said just now is still in my ears——

"Sister, I had a dream."

"In the dream you and I both died"

"I dreamed of a famine, there was nothing to eat, you gave me the bark, you were starved to death."

"I survived, followed the refugees all the way to the north, and became a general in the barracks, and finally died."

"Sister, let's go to the frontier, okay? I want to be a soldier, and I want to protect you. In this troubled world, only when you become a master can you not be bullied. I don't want to see you die before my eyes again."

……

Every sentence sounded shocking, but she couldn't help but believe it.

This child taught himself to speak and read, and he couldn't even tell a lie. How could he make up such a true story?

Rong Chu took a deep breath, slightly calming down the shocking mood.

Moved to the right, hugged Xiao Qi in his arms, and said softly: "Okay, elder sister listens to you, go to the frontier. Elder sister believes in you, in that dream, you have suffered so much that you can come back again. once?"

She just felt distressed, this child who was born a homeless child, why couldn't God treat her better?

Xiao Qi hugged Rong Chu with his backhand, she knew that sister would believe her.

"You are not allowed to risk your life to gamble with others in the future, do you hear me?" Rong Chu decided to teach her a lesson despite his hard heart.How old do you dare to fight with your life?

"Understood, I won't go again." Xiao Qi responded, and brought up the itinerary that he had arranged, "I have already discussed the time with the boss of the escort agency, and I will leave for the northwest in five days. I will do it in the next few days Just be ready."

Every day now seems to be stolen, and it can't bear to be wasted at all.Go to the military camp as soon as possible to accumulate military merits, in order to protect sister, to reach a position that no one dares to underestimate.

"Okay, sister will listen to you, but sister can't follow you to join the army, can she?" Rong Chu asked. It sounds shocking for a woman to enter the barracks disguised as a man, but she knows how strong Ah Qi is, and she doesn't care. do not worry.My own thin arms and legs are not enough to serve as a plate of food when I go in.

"Sister, you can go to the hermitage. Although I don't know what your identity was and how you ended up living on the streets. But I know your medical skills. None of the doctors in the camp can compare to you!" Xiao Qi vowed.

There will be a medical center next to the barracks, named Anlu, which specializes in treating diseases for the soldiers, but there is a shortage of people all the year round.

Doctors nowadays have to go through apprenticeship, do miscellaneous work, learn how to prepare medicinal materials, and watch the master step by step in the process of diagnosing pulse and treating diseases.After many years of hard work, it is finally over, and I can go to see a doctor alone. Few people are willing to work hard every day in the army.

But Elder Sister is different, she is still young, with such great medical skills, she will definitely be able to be like a fish in water in the medical clinic.

If I have made meritorious service in the camp, I can still take care of one or two.

Rong Chu couldn't help laughing, and said hello.

She thought that her father was killed by this medical skill, and that a word from a respected person could seal the life and death of her family.

It is difficult for a doctor to save people by himself, and he once vowed not to do medicine.

But she has had enough of Kongyou's powerless pain, and Aqi Gaore can't help him except for worrying. Le family has practiced medicine for generations, but she can only save people with simple methods.

Maybe it's time for her to let go.

The dead are the greatest, and the living are even greater. Presumably, my father is under the nine springs, and I don't want her medical skills to be dusted.

After setting a date to leave, and confessing everything to Sister, Xiao Qi felt a little relieved.

There are still a few months before the flood, and she has already embarked on a different path from her previous life.

***

Gaochang City has a dry climate and lack of rain. The city was built with rammed earth and the city walls are solid. It is the only barrier between the Daye Kingdom and the Xixia people.For hundreds of years, the Dingxi Army has been stationed here, fighting endlessly with the Xixia people.

Xiao Qi jumped off the carriage, spat out the loess that had been forced into his mouth twice, wiped his chapped lips with his hand, turned around and helped Rong Chu get out of the carriage.

It's close to the gate of the city, and when we enter the city, we have to part ways with the bodyguard team, and we are really reluctant to get along for two months.

Nowadays, the population can move freely, so there is no identity certificate such as guides, and the guards of the city just collect tariffs and let them go smoothly.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Xiao Qi bid farewell to the consul of the bodyguard team: "Consul Chen, thank you for taking care of me these two months."

Consul Chen smiled heartily: "Wherever it is, this should be done."

The young man standing next to him curled his lips: "It's been two months, and I don't know why you came here, it's so mysterious."

Xiao Qi smiled, he just joined the army, but he met by chance, so why bother to make it known to everyone.

On the contrary, the young owner of the escort agency is quite interesting, he looks like a young master of a rich family, but his name is very majestic: Chai Kai.

Chai Kai was familiar with each other by nature, seeing Xiao Qi and Rong Chu alone, looking pitiful, he insisted on recognizing them as younger brothers, there were many carers on the way, and he was the first to share any delicious food.

Received his favor, Xiao Qi will remember it in his heart.

She clasped her fists and said to Chai Kai seriously: "Brother Chai, who hasn't told you a little secret yet? Let's just say goodbye for today. We will meet again someday. I will definitely buy you a drink."

Rong Chu smiled gently, and said, "Yes, Brother Chai, when we return to Shangzhou City, my two brothers will definitely visit us."

Chai Kai didn't mind if he didn't get an answer, so he laughed: "Okay, then it's a deal! If you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

Xiao Qi took the luggage from the car, put it on his shoulders, bid farewell to the escort team, and took Rong Chu to find the inn.

The horses and horses have been exhausted for two full months, and the food and lodging can only be subsistence. In addition, the convoy is full of men, so it is even more troublesome to wash and wash. There are very few inns on the road, and rivers and the like are not easy to come across.

It's about to stink.

***

The next morning.

After breakfast, I found the waiter in the shop and asked where the nunnery and the conscription office were, and the two went to the nunnery with their luggage.

"Xiao Rongchu, you are seventeen years old, and you have some medical skills?" The gray-haired old man leaned on the chair, took a sip of tea with a teacup, "How old are you? Do you dare to say that you have some medical skills? Could it be that you are fooling my old man? Bar?"

Rong Chu's complexion remained unchanged, but his spine was straight: "If you don't believe me, you can test me once or twice."

The old doctor snorted: "Then you can talk about the use of the most basic Yin-Yang and Five Elements in medicine."

"Yin and yang are opposed and restricted, interoperating with each other, growing and declining, and transforming each other. From the perspective of viscera, the six viscera are yang, and the five viscera are yin. From the perspective of qi and blood, qi is active and belongs to yang, blood governs tranquility and belongs to yin... As for the five elements, Wood is straight, fire is flaming up, earth loves grain and wall, metal is leather, water is moistening down..."

"What is the use of the internal organs?"

"The heart governs the blood and hides, and is the 'officer of the monarch'; the lungs govern the qi, and are in charge of breathing..."

"If a person is wounded by a sword, and the wound is festered, how should he be diagnosed and treated?"

"Naturally remove the carrion first, remove it cleanly, without leaving a trace of impurities, rinse it repeatedly with strong wine, apply a plaster that removes decay and regenerate muscle, and then wrap the wound with a clean white cloth."

"What is Siwu Decoction composed of? What are its effects?"

……

There was a look of astonishment on the old doctor's face.The problems became more and more difficult. At first, I just wanted to impress the child, but I didn't expect that he still had some real talents.

Looking at Rong Chu who answered the questions fluently, the old doctor's astonishment turned into relief. It is rare to see such a solid young man.

The old doctor asked with a smile: "Young man, who did you study under?"

Rong Chu heaved a sigh of relief, and came up with the excuse he had prepared a long time ago: "The boy has been living on the street since he was a child. A few years ago, an old man saw that I was pitiful, so he taught me some medical skills. After I finished my studies, the master traveled around the world. No name or surname left.”

"Oh, it's also your good fortune." The old doctor readily accepted her statement. It's not unusual for some worldly experts to like to recruit disciples everywhere.

"The old man's surname is He, and he is the most senior doctor in this nunnery. From now on, you will learn from the old man how to treat patients on the battlefield. Most of the patients in the military camp have traumatic injuries, and sometimes they have broken arms and legs. , it is quite different from the usual practice of medicine." The old doctor ordered with a smile.

"Yes, master, please accept my apprentice's worship." Rong Chu bent down and made a big salute, and offered another cup of tea.

Doctor He gladly accepted the gift, took a sip from the teacup.Then he added: "There are 17 of your brothers and sisters in the nunnery. They take turns in the camp on weekdays to take care of the patients, and I will introduce you later."

Rong Chu responded one by one, and followed Dr. He to settle the residence in the nunnery.

There is a shortage of people here all the year round, one room per person, and the bed, bedding, tables, chairs and benches in the house are all complete, so there is no need to crowd with people, which saves a lot of trouble.

On the other hand, Ah Qi, there must not be such a good treatment in the barracks, people are crowded and fall asleep, what should I do?

However, thinking about A Qi's force, he felt that there was nothing to worry about.
