Magical Medicine in ancient times

"Drive! Drive..."

The scorching sun was in the sky, and there was no one on the official road. There was a sound of kicking horseshoes from far and near, which startled the birds in the woods beside the road to flap their wings and fly to the distance.

Immediately, the man frowned tightly, his expression was serious, his face was red and dark, and his lips were white and chapped due to the non-stop rush.

Even though he was facing the scorching sun, he still didn't have the slightest thought of stopping to rest.The sweat on his body fell on the hot road as the horse ran fast, and was quickly evaporated by the high temperature without leaving any traces.

A long bundle was tightly tied to his chest, and inside the bundle was the memorial presented to the Holy Majesty by Lord Fuyin!

This matter is related to the plague of Yongning Mansion, and it is even more related to the whole world of Dayong, there is no room for sloppy!

No matter how tired he was, he had to submit the memorial as quickly as possible, and he couldn't bear the consequences of even the slightest delay!

The strong horses galloped quickly on the road carrying the officials, leaving only waves of tumbling dust behind them for a long time.

"It's so hot today!"

Gouzi wiped his sweaty temple hair, squinted slightly through the mottled branches and leaves, and looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky.

"What do you think Master is doing in such a hurry to go back?" Gouzi murmured, leaning back against the tree trunk.

A gust of wind blew by, the leaves rattled, and yellowed dead leaves fluttered down.

"The wind is so comfortable!" Shang Gui tugged at the sweaty collar stuck to his neck, and the cool breeze brushed over his hot and humid neck, and he felt that the pores of his skin were comfortably opened.

"I don't know what's urgent about Ah Jin! But we'll be in town soon, so let's ask when the time comes! I don't know if he's done yet!"

Shang Gui turned his head and glanced at the carriage full of medicinal materials that stopped aside, and said with a smile: "I bought so many medicinal materials this time, it should be enough for a while!"

"Yeah!" Gouzi half-closed his eyes, enjoying the cool breeze under the shade of the tree: "But the business of our medical center is so good! I don't know how long it will last! The master said before that we need to recruit a few more staff, and now Now we don't have to be so busy!"

Shang Gui looked at him and smiled, and sighed: "It's all thanks to A Jin's ingenious hand rejuvenation technique! I think the medical center was almost closed back then, but fortunately we made it through! We..."

"What's the matter?" Gouzi had closed his eyes and listened carefully to Shang Gui's words, but the other party stopped suddenly.

"Someone is here..." Shang Gui stood up and said, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Is there someone?" Gouzi blinked, he felt strange, if someone came, he would come, isn't it normal that there are people on the official road?What a fuss look.

Although he was thinking this way, he still looked over there suspiciously, and saw a tall horse leading ahead, and a man was sitting on it immediately.With one hand resting on the saber at his waist and the other holding the horse rope, he has a tall and straight posture with a majestic aura.Followed by two rickety carriages, one of which was full of medicinal herbs.

In the end, Fang followed a group of about 30 officials. Although everyone was a little tired, they all looked stern.

Shang Gui and Gouzi stood up at the same time, looking at the convoy slowly approaching.

Judging by the distance, it was clearly going to the town.

Gouzi instantly understood Shang Gui's hesitation, which was really strange, why did a large number of officials from Yongning Mansion bring a cart full of medicinal materials to the town?

The two were puzzled, and at the same time, they were inexplicably nervous.

Is something wrong in town?Otherwise, it's just a batch of ordinary medicinal materials, so why bother with so many officials!

They looked at each other, and they both saw anxiety in each other's eyes.

When the convoy approached, Gouzi immediately greeted it with a bright smile on his face, trotted up to the leading officer at the front, and asked, "My lord, where are you going?"

Lin Ke lowered his brows, not angry but arrogant, he scolded in a deep voice: "Officials are doing things, don't ask too much!"

Gouzi laughed, no matter how unkind the other party was, he continued: "My lord, are you going to Ganjiu Town? The younger one is also from Ganjiu Town, and now he is learning medical skills from Dr. Zhou in Zhou's Medical Center! I see you Pulling this big cart of medicinal materials, I was really curious, so..."

"Are you a doctor?" Lin Ke didn't wait for him to finish, and asked directly, simply and neatly.

"Uh...not counting...I'm just studying in the medical hall..."

"Since you are from Xinglin, you must have a lot of research on medical skills. Since you are also from Ganjiu Town, hurry up and go with us, so you can do your best!"

"What's going on in town?"

"Don't you know yet? There is a plague in the town! Master Xu wrote to Master Xue, and we are here to help!" Lin Ke's tone was heavy, with a trace of worry, but no fear at all.

"What? Plague?" Shanggui and Gouzi exclaimed in unison!

"When did it happen? Why don't we know? It's clear that we were fine when we left!"

Could it be that the master hurried back because of the plague in the town?But he obviously collected medicine with them in Yongning Mansion, how did he know?

Or is it just a coincidence!

Gouzi is anxious, and he doesn't know how the master is doing now!

"Master Fu Yin received a letter from Master Xu yesterday evening! The situation is serious, Master Xue immediately summoned the doctors from Yongning Mansion and we escorted them to the town to help."

Shang Gui stood aside silently, he was really anxious, it was a plague!He once heard the old doctor Zhou talk about the plague that broke out in the last years of the previous dynasty and took the lives of many people!It can be described as hell on earth, extremely terrifying!

Even hearing about it today, hundreds of years later, makes people shudder!

He took a peek at the officers with knives standing behind them. They were all tall and straight, with strong feet and blazing eyes.One can tell at a glance that he is a well-trained martial arts practitioner.

If it is really for the treatment of patients, why send these people over!

I'm afraid it's also to control the people in the whole town. Once the plague breaks out and cannot be controlled, we have to learn from the previous dynasty and seal the city and abandon the town!

Abandoned people often have only one dead end!

Ah Jin is still in the town, and his mother is still there, so I don't know what's going on!

The more Shang Gui thought about it, the more frightened he became. He hurriedly said, "Ah Ci, let's go back quickly! There is a plague in the town, and there must be a shortage of medicinal materials and doctors! Let's go back quickly!" Shang Gui hurried to the carriage, urging the driver go now.

"I don't want to go! There's a plague there! Didn't you want to die in the past! I won't go, I want to go back to Yongning Mansion..." The coachman shook his head and refused, his eyes full of fear.

"Old Wen, how can this be done? If you don't go, how can we go back! We have agreed..." Shang Gui felt as if he had been splashed with boiling oil in his heart, he was tumbling and restless.He didn't expect the driver to quit his stall suddenly.

"You didn't tell me that there was a plague in the town before! Didn't you let me go there to kill me? That's a plague!" The coachman insisted on refusing to leave, and the horse stamped anxiously on the spot.

"Old Wen, how about this, you send us to the entrance of the town, don't go in..."

"That's not okay, it's not okay..." The coachman waved his hands, no matter what Shang Gui said, he refused to leave.

The two were helpless and didn't know what to do!Neither of them knew how to drive a carriage, if Old Wen refused to leave, they would not be able to leave!

Lin Ke glanced at the coachman lightly, and shouted: "Yuan Bo!"

"Here!" One of the officials in the back row came out.

"Go and drive the car for the two doctors!"

"Yes!" Yuan Bo stepped forward, jumped into the carriage and squeezed the coachman, Old Wen.

He grabbed the rein and pulled it skillfully, and the horse immediately raised its front hooves, ready to go.

Shang Gui's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Here, my carriage..."

Old Wen staggered to his feet, and was about to jump back into the car when he suddenly felt a cold gaze fixed on him.

He looked up reflexively, and saw Lin Ke sitting on a tall horse looking down at him, his eyes were as sharp and terrifying as cold blades, and he shivered in horror!No more words came out.

"My lord, let's go first!" Gouzi and Lin Ke greeted each other before jumping into the carriage.

The horse neighed, and as Yuan Bo pulled the rein, he raised his limbs and ran forward quickly, sending waves of dust into the air.

Lin Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, his face remained calm, but in his heart he secretly admired these two!

Ordinary people would panic when they heard about the plague, and just wanted to run away, so how could they rush in like this!

It was the doctors in this car, and it was Mr. Fu Yin who searched for a long time before finding these few who came here voluntarily!

Lin Ke looked at the fast-moving carriage in front of him. He frowned and said, "Speed ​​up the journey immediately! Be sure to arrive at Ganjiu Town before dark!"

"Yes!"

The convoy began to speed up, and soon the forest-lined ground was empty, leaving only the coachman, Lao Wen, standing there anxiously, not knowing whether to follow forward or return the same way.

The birds were chirping and jumping on the branches, as if they were indifferent to all this.

"Doctor Zhou! How do you see me? Are you infected with the plague?"

Zhou Jin sat under the thatched shed, his face flushed from the heat.He put his hand on the thin wrist in front of him to feel it for a while, and said, "Congratulations, you are not infected with the plague."

"No, Doctor Zhou, take a closer look. I think my throat is uncomfortable, and I coughed just now!" The man impatiently moved forward, fearing that Zhou Jin might make a mistake in diagnosis and treatment.

"You are indeed not infected with the plague! The cough is only caused by you not having a good rest and the hot weather." Zhou Jin patiently explained.

"No, Doctor Zhou, please take a closer look! I really feel uncomfortable..."

"I said, old man, what's the matter with you! Dr. Zhou has already said that you don't have the plague! Why do you insist on asking Dr. Zhou to say that you have the plague!"

The people behind him got impatient, the weather was very hot, and they were already frightened, so they wanted to show Dr. Zhou quickly!But this old scorpion is still procrastinating here, endlessly!

Don't make people angry!

The old man shrank his head, his already thin body looked even thinner, "I, I'm just worried..."

Zhou Jin smiled kindly, and understood the other party's feelings very well, "Don't worry! This plague is no longer a big problem! Besides, you are really not infected! Relax! You can go home after the diagnosis and treatment!"

Feeling Zhou Jin's kindness, Lao Gazi was completely relaxed.He nodded gratefully to Zhou Jin, then squeezed his wrist and left with a smile.

The people behind quickly stepped forward without Zhou Jin's instructions.Then he put his wrist in front of Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin diagnosed and treated them one by one!Those who are infected will inject antigen factors into their bodies, and then let them go to the side to drink medicine.

As time passed by, the sweat on Zhou Jin's body dried and became wet, wet and dried again.

Finally, when the sun was about to set, everyone in the village was checked!

Rows of steaming medicine jars on the ground were rumbling, and many villagers spontaneously came to help brew the medicine, which made Doctor Fang and the others feel a lot more relaxed.

A strange smell of medicine floated in the sky above Xiabeipo, and it lingered for a long time.

As the sun set, the cooking smoke with the aroma of food floated up the sky of Xiahegou Village again.

Many families started to cook by the fire, and the chatter and laughter that belonged to the past lingered in the village again.

"Sister-in-law Liu, are you going to cook?"

"Cook some porridge tonight, how is your man?" The woman replied with a smile while standing in the yard holding a large pile of dry firewood.

"It's much better, you can go to the ground!"

"Yo! Aunt Hua, you're all right now!"

Aunt Hua sat in the yard with a bowl of porridge, smiled and said, "It's great! My stomach doesn't hurt anymore! I'm very hungry now. Drink some porridge to fill my stomach!"

"That's great! Thanks to Dr. Zhou!"

"Yeah, Doctor Zhou is amazing! Otherwise, I would still be lying on the bed and unable to move! The pain makes me want to die!"

"Third Uncle, where's Dahe? Why didn't you come back?"

"Hi! He's serious! Although he's much better after taking Doctor Zhou's medicine, Doctor Zhou told him to stay in the lower north slope for two days to recuperate. I have to send him food later!" A hunched over The old man with a waist laughed and picked the vegetables at the gate of the yard with a happy smile on his face.

"Hey! Then you have to wait, you have to listen to Doctor Zhou's words!"

"That's not right! What Doctor Zhou said is right!"

People greeted each other with smiles when they met. Even if the pain has not completely left, at least they see hope!

When everyone talked about Zhou Jin, they all worshiped and believed in his words.

The village seems to have returned to its former vitality.It seems that the terrible plague before was just a nightmare.

"Doctor Zhou, you are here!" Zhu Zi originally sat on the bedside to drink medicine, but when he saw Zhou Jin and Fang Yingxuan approaching from a distance, he immediately put down the medicine bowl with a look of sincerity and fear.

Zhou Jin stepped forward helplessly, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, drink the medicine first, we have something to ask you."

"Hey, okay, if you ask, I will answer honestly!"

Zhu Zi pursed his lips uneasily, and looked at Zhou Jin devoutly with his eyes, as if looking at a high god.
