Embracing the ancient times with roses

The whole family came to the Qinghe River for a stroll, because it is next to the canal, and the water system here extends in all directions. The passing ships, carrying goods from all over the world, and the passing caravans are constantly flowing here. It is really quite prosperous. The buildings on the street are not what he saw in the modern film and television city, but much larger than that, and there are also a lot of commodities. I heard from Da Zhuang that the merchants in the hinterland of Chujiabao are here to buy the materials they bought. , It is shipped to various places through the wharf, which is much faster than the land route.

Li Xiu nodded. This canal can be compared with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. No wonder Chu Batian occupied Chenzhou in the first battle. This is the only waterway for the entire Chujiabao to reach Chenzhou. It is equivalent to grabbing the throat of Chenzhou, and even Tianyao's right-hand man. At the beginning, Yao Yulan also knew that Chu Batian would not return Chenzhou easily. Qingcheng Mansion played a decisive role in making him less trouble during his tenure.

When this canal was built at the beginning, it was to strengthen the rule of the north and the south. In addition, it also wanted to transport the materials of the Chu Family Fort to the south as soon as possible through the waterway. Yao Yuyang used this to transport the materials of the Chu Family Fort to the capital. Yes, greedy again and again, and finally sent himself to the imperial mausoleum.

Of course, it’s a bit too far to say these things. Looking back, I said that Li Xiu’s family had been shopping on the street for more than two hours, and they were exhausted. Li Xiu said that shopping is definitely not a man’s strong point, but a woman.

Da Zhuang saw that his wife and children were tired, so he took the big guy into a tea room by the roadside, ordered a pot of tea and drank slowly, while drinking, he heard someone say: "Hey, I heard that No, there is an epidemic in Xun County in the south, I heard that it has been sealed off, and now it is allowed to enter and not allowed to leave. Oh, what a crime!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh.

Another person said: "The court doesn't care?"

The man said: "Don't worry, why don't you care, the imperial court has sent the imperial doctor in the palace to follow, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Da Zhuang showed a distressed expression on his face. At the beginning, his adoptive father and Yangmo were killed by the disease. If there is any way to cure the disease now, he will definitely try his best to help. .

Seeing his intentions, Li Xiu couldn't help but said, "Brother Zhuang, don't be sad, there is nothing you can do about it..."

Before he finished speaking, Da Zhuang said: "Brother Xiu, do you have a solution?"

Li Xiu patted his hand and said: "I've only heard of this. In my hometown, the plague has long since disappeared, but we can prevent it, and our garlic can come in handy , You can drink a little mung bean soup when you have nothing to do. Garlic has a bactericidal effect. It’s okay to eat some at ordinary times. The most important thing is to kill rats and fleas, and pay attention to personal hygiene, in case people get infected After death, the body should be buried or cremated immediately, otherwise the infection will re-infect.”

After hearing this, Da Zhuang stood up immediately, settled the bill, hugged Tong Rui and led Tong Xiaobao out of the teahouse, and Li Xiu also followed with Chu Junyu in his arms. After they left, on a table behind them, A person stood up, waved his hand to the side, and then saw a figure disappeared.

Knowing that someone was following them, Da Zhuang's family immediately returned to their house, and immediately asked someone to notify Chu Batian to come here, and at the same time called Qin Ming to let him go back to Tianfeng Town immediately. All the garlic sold is transported here, and people are arranged to go to the village to buy it, the more the better.He also told the patriarch that the whole village should start exterminating rats and mosquitoes, and the most important thing is that every family should start exterminating fleas, otherwise the epidemic will spread.

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. Everyone knew that this matter could not wait, so they left immediately. Qin Ming simply rode his horse and ran to Tianfeng Town. He estimated that he would arrive in the middle of the night. Xiu patted Da Zhuang's hand and said: "Don't worry, the incident has already happened, we can only do our best, and those who have already contracted the disease can only obey the fate, in fact, if this happened in my hometown, as long as It would be good to use some antibacterial drugs, but the conditions here are not good, and I am not a doctor, so I can't solve it."

Da Zhuang hugged Li Xiu and said: "What you said is already very useful, don't think too much, don't go out if you have nothing to do, watch the children in the house and wait for the hospital exam in a month, our family has two I'm a child student, this time I have to pass the test for whatever I say, which also makes Ah Mo happy, I think Ah Mo's health is not very good recently, even the spirit head is not full."

Li Xiu nodded and said: "Okay, you should also pay attention to it. There are many people going there to avoid cross-infection. Be sure to stay away from rats and fleas, remember?"

Da Zhuang nodded, expressing that he remembered it, and Li Xiu was relieved, and immediately went back to the backyard to look at the little ones.When the little ones saw Ah Mo, they all ran over, yelling after Li Xiu that they were tired and wanted to sleep, even Tong Xiaobao couldn't stand it anymore, after all he was only ten years old.

Li Xiu looked at the sky and found that it was still early, probably after three o'clock, and then he said, "You can sleep for a while, or if you sleep for a long time now, you won't be able to sleep at night."

The three children nodded to show that they understood, so Lixiu took the three sons and lay on the bed together. The bed was too bad, otherwise the four of them really couldn't fit. When Da Zhuang came back, he would see the four of them He was sleeping soundly, so he didn't call them, he squinted on the soft couch outside for a while.

When it was almost time, he came to the bedside and asked the others to get up. It was time for dinner. Li Xiu opened his eyes and nodded, so he cleaned up the little ones. Went out to eat.

The next morning, the family welcomed Chu Batian and Bai Shuili. After they arrived, the family had a lunch together. The meal was made by Li Xiu, and Bai Shuili helped. Under the leadership of father and uncle, they came to the dining table early and waited for the meal. They always knew that as long as it was made by Li Xiu, it would be delicious.

Sure enough, when the dishes were served, everyone's eyes lit up. The dishes Lixiu cooked this time were all freshwater fish, such as steamed sea bass, braised prawns in oil, steamed crabs, fried small yellow croaker, and a crucian carp soup in an iron pot , the tortillas on the iron pan, these are dishes that they don’t often eat at home, especially crabs, and prawns, these river foods must be fresh to be delicious. In ancient times, these river foods were not comparable. Good preservation method, it is better to freeze and sell in winter, but now it is summer, it is not easy to handle.

Everyone sat together, ate delicious food, and drank the juice specially made by Lixiu. Da Zhuang and Chu Batian drank a little rice wine. Lixiu made crabs for the children. He first found a small hammer to smash the crab legs Knock it open, then use a toothpick to pick out the meat inside and put it in a bowl for the children. At the same time, tell the children to be careful not to be stuck in the throat by the fishbone when eating fish. Afterwards, I agreed, but the adults were not idle, they were helping the children pick out the fishbone, and when Lixiu saw them, they didn't care about them, but continued to make crab meat and shell the shrimp for the children.

Lixiu put a piece of crab roe into the little brother's bowl, and told him to eat it with some vinegar. Chu Junyu nodded and ate it obediently.

Lixiu distributed another piece of crab roe to Tong Xiaobao. He felt very sorry for this child. Since the family had those two children, this child has become more and more sensible. If this is the case, the more justice you have to do when you leave the cultivation, otherwise, if the child knows that he is not his own in the future, it will be bad if he has a grudge in his heart.

Tong Xiaobao said sensibly: "Ah, you can eat too, we will come by ourselves, just take care of us."

After hearing this, Li Xiu was very relieved. Seeing that his eldest son knew that he felt sorry for his father, he couldn't help but said: "Little treasure, eat, I will eat when you are full."

When Da Zhuang saw it, he said: "Eat it quickly, it will become more fishy after a while, and I will help you look at a few small ones."

Li Xiu nodded: "It's okay, you can drink with the elder brother, don't worry about me." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and took the shelled crab over to Tong Rui to get some crab paste and put it in a bowl. Tong Rui's little friend was very happy I ate happily.

At this time, Chu Junyu had finished eating, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "Ah, Yu'er is full and wants to sleep."

Li Xiu wiped his hands, and called the grandma to let him take Mr. Chu to sleep in the backyard, while he took care of the two young ones while eating.

Bai Shuili had almost eaten, so he started to take over Lixiu's work, helping to take care of the two young children. He especially liked these children. He and Chu Batian had been together for many years. At the beginning, they were sneaky. There was also a little brother, but the child was born prematurely and failed to survive. In recent years, he has not produced anything. Later, when he got older, he thought about it and didn't want to have a child. The main reason was that he was afraid Chu Junhao thought about it, now that Chu Junhao's child is two years old, he helps look after the child every day in the castle, and his life is pretty good.

After the meal, the two younger ones went to sleep in the backyard, and the remaining two couples drank water and talked together. Chu Batian looked at Da Zhuang and said, "You called me all the way, is there anything urgent?"

Da Zhuang glanced at Li Xiu and said, "I heard in the teahouse yesterday that there was an epidemic in Jun County?"

Chu Batian nodded: "Yes, I also called people's attention. We are only a few hundred miles away from Junxian County. I am also afraid that this kind of thing will happen again. By the way, why do you ask me about this?" ah?"

"Well, Brother Xiu knows how to prevent and treat it. I have already sent someone back to prepare garlic. That thing is also effective for the epidemic. You can ask someone to send it to Jun County, but don't let the epidemic go to our side. spread."

As soon as Chu Batian heard what Da Zhuang said, he became interested and asked, "Brother Xiu, can he cure this disease?" Li Xiu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, I don't know how to cure it, but I know this disease , this kind of disease has basically disappeared in our place. If you get this kind of disease, you only need to use antibiotics to cure it, and the most important thing is to pay attention to personal hygiene, especially the rats and fleas must be cleaned. 'Elimination of the four pests' is very important, and people suffering from this disease should drink more salt and sugar water, pay attention to reducing fever, and the most important point is that after death, people should either be buried deeply or burned immediately, and the medicines they used Everything will be burned together, so don't touch it.

In addition, eating some antibacterial foods, such as the garlic we grow, has this effect, and the most important thing is to wear a mask, so as to prevent air circulation and mutual infection, and use ephedra, and Huoxiang, But as for how to use it and how much to measure, I don’t know. Of course, my master told me these things, but now that he’s not here, it would be nice if he was.However, there are also people who fill small bamboo tubes with gunpowder, ignite and explode, and use gunpowder smoke to disperse the miasma in the air. "

Chu Batian looked at Da Zhuang and his wife and thought about it; "In a while, you write down the method you know, and I will send someone to prepare it. We have to plan ahead and help Jun County in advance. Don't wait until their place becomes a hard-hit area. At that time, when it spreads to our side, and there is really no other way, the imperial court will probably adopt extreme measures, and that will be a pity for the people of a large county."

Lixiu knew that when plagues were uncontrollable in history, the imperial court would collectively drive the sick people together and bury them alive. This was when he was in the study yesterday, through Tianyao's notes and Unofficial history knows that he was terribly frightened at the time, and often when he gets this disease, it is from a family, and there are not a few people who have caused the extermination of the family.

Chu Batian thought for a while: "What are the four evils?"

After Li Xiu heard this, he immediately said, "It refers to mosquitoes, flies, mice and cockroaches. They all have this germ on them. If they are not eliminated in time, they will spread many diseases to us humans, and even cause death."

After hearing this, Chu Batian discussed with Da Zhuang, and said: "From tomorrow onwards, we will immediately eliminate the four pests in the entire Chujiabao territory, and make sure that every house is clean. If any house appears Rats, punish them severely immediately, and compete with each other to see whose house is clean, in the countryside, the village is the criterion, and those above the county town are also judged, and the cleanest house will be rewarded."

Da Zhuang still didn’t forget to tell Li Xiu, “Be careful when you go out in the future, don’t tell others that you can cure the disease, when the time comes, someone will catch you and take you to the Yamen, and let you treat the disease with the doctors. It’s a great achievement, if it can’t be cured, you’ll be accusing us, how will you let our masters live?”

When Da Zhuang said this, Li Xiu was also taken aback. He knew that people in ancient times believed that the wind was the rain. If it was like Da Zhuang said, it would be bad, so he was very worried. When he was talking, he heard Chu Batian say: "It's okay, I'm here, if that's the case, I'll take care of it."

But just after saying this, I saw Chu Yi come in and report: "Master, there are people outside the mansion asking to see him, and they say it is the imperial doctor in the palace, and the magistrate of this prefecture."

As soon as Li Xiu heard it, he knew it was not good. It must be what he said to Da Zhuang in the tea room yesterday, and someone overheard him. What should I do?Won't really be taken away?So he glanced at Chu Batian, and suddenly calmed down, didn't you just say that there is a way, I just want to see what you can do.

Chu Batian saw his eyes and knew that this was Li Xiu's attitude looking at him, so he said with a smile: "Let them wait in the Daohua hall, we will arrive later."

After Chu went away, Chu Batian stood up and said to Li Xiu, "You take a rest and write down what you said quickly. I will let those imperial doctors take you away. If you are still free, go somewhere else for the next two days. Just stay in the mansion."

Now Li Xiu knows that talking too much is lost, this is a lesson, and he will definitely not talk nonsense in the future, and talking too much will sometimes kill people.

When he finished writing, he handed it over to Chu Batian. Chu Batian looked at it and took it away with a smile. Li Xiu didn't follow, but Da Zhuang followed. It's okay, Batian can handle it well, besides, you're just talking about war on paper, even if you are arrested, it's useless."

Li Xiu listened: "That's right, that's right, even if I get to the scene, it's useless."

Bai Shui Li couldn't help laughing, this person is really courageous, but such a person has one advantage, that is, he doesn't cause trouble and can keep his family safe.

After an hour, Chu Batian and his brothers came back and told them that it was all right, that Fang Zi had already taken it away, and asked them to go back and study it by themselves. As for the result of the research, it depends on their ability.

Now Li Xiu was completely relieved, in fact, it wasn't that he was timid, he was just worried that Da Zhuang and the others would get into trouble, he was fine with it, if something went wrong, what would he ask his family to do? Fortunately, this matter is over.

In the following time, a vigorous activity of "elimination of the four pests" began on the territory of Chujiabao. All of a sudden, cats and dogs jumped up and down the whole castle. Everyone tried every means to eliminate rats.Everyone has a fly swatter in their hands, wishing they could wipe out the butterflies and bees. Later, there were some knowledgeable people who refused to let them go. This saved those beneficial insects from being ruined, but those insects that are considered to be of no benefit are almost Everyone shouted and beat them.

The four pests have almost been eradicated, and the sanitation has improved. Even the countryside is developing vigorously. It is better than nothing else to avoid getting sick. In order to prevent mosquitoes from raging at home, every household simply piled up the dung piles on the ground. , now the village is much cleaner, and after this incident, even the adults and children in the family are much less worried about getting sick. Now the big guys believe it, and everyone says that since the emphasis on hygiene, the adults and children in every family are less likely to get sick. Clean and comfortable to look at.

After this matter got to Yao Yulan's ears in the imperial court, and after the council of the courtiers, Tianyao simply started to follow suit, which meant that he wanted to compare with the common people in Chu Family Fort.

When the vassal kings in the south saw it, it was very interesting, so they came to join in. Well, good guy, a large-scale "Patriotic Health Day" has started all over the country. Those vassal kings ordered that they must not call others In comparison, even those animals on the mountain that don't look good, like foxes, wolves, badgers, etc., should be cleaned up. It doesn't matter now, those that are not very The animals that went down the mountain had no choice but to leave their homeland with tears in their eyes and moved.

The animals here moved and broke down, so there are more animals over there. The good guy started to kill animals again. There is no way, the animals started to fight back, but after all, they couldn’t do anything to humans, and they all ended up being cats. In the deep mountains and old forests, they never came out again, and now the hunters were depressed. In short, this matter has been raging for a long time before it calmed down.

And because of some suggestions in Lixiu's prescription in Junxian County, the imperial doctors really worked out a way to cure the epidemic. Soon after, the epidemic was gradually brought under control, until there were no more patients, and the epidemic was announced. It was completely over, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and it was finally over.

The author has something to say: I am not a medical student, I just searched some information on the Internet, please watch the fun, I know so much about this plague, please collect, praise, and support !
