After the Shangguan scolded him, the second master hurriedly ran out, turned around and asked:
"Which old thing is it?"
The county captain said angrily:
"It's the old man He who refuses to let go!"
"Oh!" The second master suddenly realized: "A year ago, Wanjia from the east of the city sent three taels of gold to seize the one in his shop? Hey, I'm afraid he's dead. I heard that Mr. Zhao spent money to enter last time. He looked at the prison and shook his head and said that his teacher was afraid that he would die.Www,QuanBeN-XiaoShuo,cOM"
This second master was also extremely ignorant and talked about everything. Now the county captain's life was at stake, so he had forgotten all the bribery matters. But if old man He died, wouldn't he himself be the same? Even the last glimmer of hope was shattered. He immediately picked up the tea cup beside the couch and threw it away, cursing angrily:
"Fuck you bastard, old man He won't die even if you die. Go and drag him here! Even if he dies, you have to drag his body here!"
The second master was a master who was domineering in front of others, but in front of the county captain, he was an out-and-out grandson. He immediately ran out silently like a gourd with its mouth cut open.
The county captain took a breath and fell silently on the couch. It could be seen that he now regretted what he had done before. Fang Lin watched coldly from the side and suddenly said:
"I'm afraid there's something going on between you and Old Man He. If that's the case, now that you have something to ask for, I'm afraid it's better to be a little more polite."
The county lieutenant immediately said in a worried voice with great approval:
"You are absolutely right! Come here! Go tell the lady to get a tael of gold!"
By the time people got the gold, the second master was already running out of breath and said excitedly:
"Great! Master... is not dead!"
The county lieutenant's face suddenly turned purple, he smashed another tea cup over, and said angrily:
"Of course I'm not dead, sir! What nonsense are you talking about!"
The second master was hit hard and said with a bitter face:
"That's why old man He is not dead!"
The county captain said anxiously:
"where is the guy!"
The second master said:
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. The old man is walking slowly. Didn't I come to tell you the good news first?"
Fang Lin was overjoyed when he heard this. Old man He could still move around, which showed that his body could still hold up.
Soon an old man with a stooped body appeared at the door. The clothes on his body were naturally very tattered, the wrinkles on his face were very deep, and his old, muddy eyes were staring blankly forward. One of his legs seemed to be injured, so that when he walked, he took out his good foot first and then dragged the other injured leg up. There was a guard following him casually behind him. This guy was still picking his teeth carelessly until he walked in the door.
The county lieutenant tried his best to force out an awkward smile and said:
"Old man He... How are you doing, Doctor He, these days? I am seriously ill now, ahem, this. The diagnosis fee is one tael of gold..."
Fang Lin noticed at this moment that when Old Man He heard the word "serious illness", his eyes seemed to flash with light, and his gray face seemed to have more color. He dragged his steps slowly to the bed, carefully checked the county lieutenant's pulse, and finally shook his head numbly and said:
"My lord, this is a wind evil that has entered your brain. There is nothing you can do about it."
Fang Lin was shocked. This old man He is really capable! His mental shock hurt people's brains, and the wind diseases of this era were also multi-fingered head lesions. For example, Cao Cao had "head wind", which was an intense migraine. The diagnosis that Old Man He made to the county captain: the wind disease enters the brain is really accurate!
The county captain placed all his hopes on the old man. Before, I was still trying to support myself, but now I couldn't hold it anymore, and said in a trembling voice:
"My officer... I... I actually had some misunderstandings about Mr. He in the past. I hope Mr. He will ignore the past grudges! As long as he can cure my disease! Ten taels of gold. No. Twenty taels of gold!"
The county captain changed three names to himself, which shows the panic and urgency in his heart. But Old Man He returned to his dull look and said indifferently:
"My lord, you have misunderstood. Medicine is a benevolent skill. If I, the old man, can cure it, I will not give it up. But there is really nothing I can do about the disease that cannot be cured."
The county captain's face turned pale and blue, and he seemed to be about to fall out. As soon as Fang Lin saw his appearance, he knew that he was going to call someone to torture him. Immediately frowning slightly, activating the mental power remaining in his mind, Lima knocked the loser unconscious, but had a nervous expression on his face.
road:
"My lord, it seems that I'm dying!"
Old Man He's expression tightened and he hurried forward to check his pulse. He frowned and pondered for a long time but refused to speak. Fang Lin interjected from the side:
"In my opinion, if you boil the best ginseng thickly in a cup of soup and drink it down, you can delay the disease for a while, or at least you can save your life."
After the second master heard the imperial edict, he immediately went to do it, but Old Man He said anxiously:
"No! Your physique is already strong. If you drink more ginseng soup and supplement it again, it will add fuel to the fire. I'm afraid that if the deficiency fire rises, you will die immediately!"
Fang Lin saw that the anxious look on Old Man He's face could not be faked, and he admired his noble medical ethics even more, but said with shame:
"I have seen this disease before, and saw that the doctor at that time diagnosed and treated it like this, so I followed the same example. In this case, please ask Dr. He to give a prescription."
Old Man He sighed, got the pen and ink but refused to write. The second master was very afraid of Fang Lin, but he had no respect for the old man. He immediately stepped forward and scolded:
"Damn old man, hurry up and prescribe the medicine! If I die, I will bury you with him!"
Old Man He staggered after being kicked, but his dull expression showed no humiliation or anger. There was just a sad look in his eyes, and he shook his head and said:
"I can't prescribe this prescription. Even if I prescribe it, you wouldn't have anywhere to test it."
The second master was suddenly stunned. Thinking about it, the only Zhao's pharmacy in the county had been closed down. Even if the herbal stalls in the market were willing to sell it, they might not be able to sell all of them, so he said in a rough voice:
"What do you want! Don't let me play tricks on you?"
Old man He said numbly:
"There are some common medicines that are easy to find, but there are two medicines that I have to personally select and prepare."
The second master was really hesitant after hearing this, so Fang Lin took the opportunity to say:
"I happen to have some medical skills, and an elder in my family has suffered from this strange disease. How about I accompany Dr. He on a trip?"
Old Man He glanced at him and said calmly:
"It's quite complicated for me to choose medicine. A person as noble as the Young Master is probably impatient, so it's better not to take it."
There was a hint of rejection in his words. The second master immediately slapped him and said angrily:
"You old killer is so clueless! I think you want to make an excuse to escape! Someone come!"
After saying that, the second master called two people, all of whom were servants born in the family. They looked very well-behaved. One was named Luo Kuaishou and the other was named Men Banliu. He directly ordered them to follow this "Master Xiahou" and to monitor him closely. The whereabouts of this old man. He knew that his eldest brother was doing something that would make people angry, and he was afraid that no matter how much money he paid, he would not be able to buy the medicine. He felt that he would have to rob it, so he sent seven or eight government officials to come and escort him.
A group of people went to the market first. Only two of the herbalists escaped, and the rest were captured by the yamen servants. But old man He was stubborn and refused to do anything, insisting that they give money first before he would choose the medicine. Luo Kuaishou was shocked and angry--when did he give money to take things in this county? He kicked the old man a few times but was unable to do anything, so he could only curse and break his rule.
After selecting the medicinal materials, the old man went back to his home and carefully selected some suitable utensils. Then he returned to the county government office and started making medicine. He first made a thick bowl of Canghuo soup and drank it to the county captain to calm down, and then went to the work of concocting medicine.
The process of preparing medicine is complicated, including refining (heating), forging (heating at high temperature), raising (heating at low temperature), roasting (local heating), pumping (distillation), ascension (sublimation), leaching (filtration), pouring (cooling), Boil (add water and heat) these nine processes. But it sounds complicated when I first hear it, let alone if I have to watch and do it next to me
Naluo Kuaishou Menpanliu, whose body was weakened by the wine and sex, stood and watched for a while and felt impatient. He also thought that this place was in the county government office, and this lame old ghost could hardly fly even if he had wings, let alone Is Mr. Fang still there, looking at you earnestly for advice? The two of them were so heartless that they winked at each other and went to drink on their own. Fang Lin and Old Man He were left facing each other in the temporary medicine shop converted from the kitchen.
When everything became quiet, Fang Lin was about to speak, when Old He suddenly said calmly:
"Actually, you shouldn't come to me for your illness."
Fang Lin's eyes flickered and he said:
"Why did the old man say this?"
