Bai Shan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile: "There is very little salt, as you know, we can only bring enough salt for our food, but the tea brought some..."
So the two parties got closer and stood on the hillside to talk.
The herdsmen wanted to buy some tea with them, but some people kept looking at Zhou Man's back basket. The headed herdsman still couldn't help asking: "Is there a doctor in your caravan who knows herbal medicine?"
Man Bao smiled and said: "Yes, I know some medical skills, why, do you have any patients?"
"Are you a doctor? Then do you know the prescription for treating smallpox? I heard that Xiazhou posted the prescription on the city gate."
Man Bao: ...the city gate is not posted, but it has never been concealed, and it will be promoted to doctors.
After all, this is medicine, and the doctor has to read it before you can take it. Otherwise, if you post the prescription, anyone can write it down. When you get sick, you don’t see the doctor. You can judge the condition by yourself and take the medicine yourself. In case you take the wrong medicine what to do
Man Bao asked them, "Do you still have smallpox patients?"
Seeing that they were not afraid when they heard smallpox, for some reason, the herdsman was convinced of them, and he said: "No, but we want a prescription. The god said, if smallpox occurs once, it will definitely happen again next year." recurrence, so we want to prepare some medicinal materials in advance."
After all, no one knows whether the imperial court will send them medicine next year, and even if they do, they don't know if it will be enough, and it will always delay a lot of time.
Last year, some people got sick in the twelfth lunar month, but the medicinal materials were not delivered until the first lunar month. Many people died in their tribe, and the effect of taking the medicine was not very good. They all said that it was because they took it too late. Take medicine, it will definitely cure a lot.
The herdsmen stared at Zhou Man with piercing eyes. Some people felt that something was wrong, and a young man from behind squeezed forward and whispered in the ear of the leader.
The leading herdsman couldn't help turning his head to stare at Man Bao.
Man Bao and Bai Shan were a little nervous when he saw him, and they couldn't help but tighten their hands together. Daji also took a step forward quietly, standing on the other side of Man Bao, only half a step behind them.
"You..." The shepherd looked Zhou Man up and down, and finally fell on her eyes, "Do you know someone named Zhou Liang?"
When Bai Shan heard that his surname was Zhou, he turned his head and asked Man Bao, "Do you know him?"
Man Bao: "... my fourth brother, don't you know him?"
The herdsman's eyes lit up, and he cried out with an "Aiya", "So you are brother Zhou's sister. I know you. Brother Zhou said that you are an imperial physician, a doctor who specializes in treating the emperor. You are very powerful."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly, "You know my fourth brother."
"I know, I know, the year before last and last year he bought a lot of furs and cattle with our tribe, and also sold us a lot of tea and porcelain." The herdsman relaxed and asked curiously: "Aren't you a doctor?"
Man Bao nodded and said: "Yes, but I'm going on a study tour now, and you want a prescription for smallpox, but do you know how to judge smallpox?"
Man Bao changed the subject and said to them: "Smallpox is easy to confuse with common acne and high fever. The early stage is especially important. You can't take the wrong medicine. You must first learn to judge whether it is smallpox before you can use smallpox medicinal materials."
The herdsmen listened carefully, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you teach us? We can give you money."
After thinking about it, Man Bao smiled and said, "I don't want money, do you know the wild antelopes on the grassland?"
The herdsmen shook their heads in unison, expressing that they did not know.
"Do you want sheep? We have them. As many as you want, I will send you."
Man Bao paused and said, "I just want the wild antelope."
She looked at Bai Shan, and Bai Shan took out a small notebook and a very thin pen from his pocket. There was a string on the pen connected to a small bamboo tube that was one finger long.
He opened the bamboo tube and handed it to Man Bao, who held it for him. He opened the pen and dipped a little ink in it, and then drew on the booklet. After a while, a vivid wild antelope appeared on the paper.
He showed the herdsmen.
The herdsmen let out an "ah" and said, "We know this. There are a lot of wild sheep over there. It is too thin and not tasty. It is not as good as the sheep we raise."
The herdsmen strongly recommended their own sheep, saying that if Zhou Man was willing to teach them, they would give her a lot of sheep as reward.
Man Bao smiled and said, "I don't use it for food, I want to use it for research, so I want to live it. Can you catch two live antelopes for me?"
"We caught the antelope, will you teach us how to distinguish smallpox?"
Man Bao nodded.
The herdsmen patted their chests in response, and then led them down the hillside, "You go to meet our patriarch."
There are witches in their tribe, they can't learn this kind of thing, but witches and patriarchs should be able to learn it, they are smart.
Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded, and rode their horses to run towards the tribe that had already walked a distance.
The patriarch of the tribe was waiting. He had received the report earlier, so he let them go first, and brought a few people behind him.
He was still on guard at first, but when he saw them standing on the hillside talking from a distance, it didn't look like they were about to fight, and there were only three of them, so he relaxed and didn't rush to leave, so he walked slowly The people of the tribe and the tribe strolled forward slowly.
Seeing them coming down, he led the people to stop.
A herdsman ran in the front, dismounted first and whispered to him. When Man Bao and the others arrived, the patriarch had already raised his smiling face and greeted him enthusiastically.
The patriarch looked like he was in his forties, with a thick beard covering half of his face. Because he was old, Man Bao and Bai Shan subconsciously respected him a little more.
You have feelings and I have intentions on both sides, and the communication is very smooth.
So the migration stopped temporarily, and they planned to stay on the spot. The herdsmen set up the big tent at an extremely fast speed, and Wu quickly brought the two children over.
The patriarch enthusiastically introduced their shamans in Chinese and Man Bao, and then used their tribal language and shamanism: "This Miss Zhou is the younger sister of Zhou Zhoulang, the imperial doctor who treated the emperor. You and her learned how to treat smallpox. You must learn everything you can.”
Although he speaks fast and is a bit different from the Hu dialect they learned, he still understands about 70% to 80% of Man Bao and Bai Shan: ...
The two were silent.
The herdsmen on the side hesitated to speak, and wanted to tell the patriarch that they could speak nonsense, but it seemed too late to say it at this time, and it might embarrass the patriarch, so they became distressed and didn't know whether to say it or not.
The patriarch didn't give them a chance, and after talking to Wu, he stared at Zhou Man with piercing eyes, "You guys teach now."
Wu Chongmanbao smiled politely. He looked much younger than the patriarch, only about twenty-four or five years old, and looked about the same age as Yang Heshu.
His Chinese language is more standard than that of the patriarch. He first bowed slightly to salute Man Bao, introduced himself and said, "My name is Gu Lu."
Bai Shan took the opportunity to ask: "My name is Bai Shan, and I don't know the name of the noble tribe yet."
Wu smiled and said, "Our tribe is called Tutu."
