"What did you eat before getting sick?" Hai Guanchao asked the patient sitting in front of him.
The patient's face was blue and yellow, the limbs were not fat, but the lower abdomen was bulging, like a pregnant woman in five or six months. When the palm was stroked on it, it could be seen that the inside was not soft. He was also weak when he spoke, and at this time he recalled the things he had eaten one by one.
Because of this disease, he has been in major hospitals for two months, and sometimes he gets better, but he just can't recover. I don't know how many times I've said what I've eaten.
Seeing that the patient was in a low mood, Hai Guanchao calmly said, "There are only parasites in the abdomen. I have a prescription for the symptoms. I'll just give you a few doses."
"Really?!" Since the patient sought medical treatment, he had heard the diagnosis of parasites in his stomach, but like Hai Guanchao, he was so sure that it could be cured, and he was the first to have the right prescription. For a while, he was overjoyed, but he was afraid that it was not true.
In fact, this person was also introduced by a friend, and with the mentality of giving it a try, the mood at this time is not to mention complicated.
"Well, but you may vomit and have diarrhea and expel parasites. You have to be mentally prepared." Hai Guanchao said.
The patient was in the midst of surprise, and when he heard that it could be cured, he was overwhelmed with satisfaction.
"It doesn't matter if you leak, you still vomit, it's disgusting." Xie Lingya sat on the side and asked.
Hai Guanchao took the medicine to the patient and sent the person away. Then he had time to talk to Xie Lingya and shook his head, "Actually, he can only vomit up, but he won't leak it out. I lied to him, afraid that he would vomit out at the beginning. He was too scared."
Xie Lingya: "…"
In other words, the parasite will definitely spit out of the mouth? too disgusting!
Hai Guanchao explained: "This is called biting dragon disease. Ancient doctors believed that dragon roamed the world, and the dragon essence was sprinkled on the dish. When people eat this dish, a small dragon will be born in the belly. The small dragon is doing something wrong in the belly. Han Shi Xing induced vomiting. In fact, it was a parasite that could not be identified at the time."
When people eat food, they don't handle it well, and if they are unlucky, they have parasites on them, and they get sick. There are many kinds of parasites, especially in some remote areas and waters. Sometimes the hospital cannot diagnose and treat them, and they will not heal on their own. They have a disease for several years. It doesn't matter if it grows in the stomach, and some grow in the brain, it will be miserable, and you have to open the skull.
Xie Lingya listened and said, "What the hell did the dragon do on the vegetable garden, and it can still produce sperm. If there are other animals, it's still on its own..."
Haiguanchao: "… "
Hai Guanchao: "Mr. Xie, be a serious person, this is just a story."
Xie Lingya said honestly, "Oh."
Hai Guanchao added: "I'm going to put down the facade next to me, and there are not enough people right now. I'm alone, and I want to hire another person to decoct the medicine. Now patients are asked to decoct by themselves, or go to other stores. But Sometimes I don’t feel relieved, decoction is related to the curative effect.”
"Well, that's the truth." Xie Lingya nodded.
To say that Hai Guanchao deserves to be the person who once provoked his colleagues to push him out of his hometown. In just a few months in Tuyang, the clinic's business is booming. He has cured a lot of intractable diseases like just now, and now he seems to be a little famous.
No, it needs to be expanded.
"Then let me put up a job posting for you, mainly to help you, right? Don't you have to be a doctor?" Xie Lingya asked.
"My colleagues and I have never gotten along." Hai Guanchao said lightly.
It is true. He is a family heirloom medicine, and it also contains a lot of content that may be a bit controversial now, such as Tai Su Mai. Therefore, he would rather hire someone who knows nothing than someone who knows a lot. Anyway, what he does is not technical work, and he has his own way. If he knows a lot, he has to teach it again.
…
In the evening, Xie Lingya used a computer to help Hai Guanchao put up recruitment online. Don't look at Hai Guanchao, he's not much older than him, but probably because he spends most of his time in medical skills, he doesn't know much about the Internet.
At this moment, the phone rang. Xie Lingya saw the caller and immediately took the phone to the room to pick it up, "Hello?"
A gentle female voice came from the other end: "Lingya, your father fell and broke his leg. He was just sent to the hospital. He told me not to call you. I think I have to tell you."
"Fractured? Then please tell me to the ward, I'll go right now." Xie Lingya said.
"You better come tomorrow, it's so late."
"It's alright, there's still a car." Xie Lingya said a few words and hung up.
The caller was Song Jing, his father's second wife, who were colleagues at the same school. When Xie Lingya was in high school, they were together. At that time, Xie Lingya had troubles, and because of this, he worked hard to study. He was determined to go to another place. But after a while, and seeing that his uncle's attitude was all in favor, he figured it out, but his relationship with Song Jing has always been light.
"My dad has a broken bone, I'll go down and have a look." Xie Lingya greeted everyone and hurried out. Father Xie was a middle school teacher in a town in a county-level city in Jiyang City, and they used to call them there.
Now the Taoist temple doesn't need him to stay all the time, everyone just cares about it and asks him to hurry up, he won't be able to catch the bus later.
The last bus to the town leaves at 9:30. If you don't make it, you can only take a taxi. Fortunately, Xie Lingya caught up. When he got in the car, he saw that the car was more than half full, so he found a seat a little further back.
When the car was about to leave, another person came up. Xie Lingya was originally looking at his phone, but the person stumbled when he passed by. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to support him, "Are you alright?"
It was only then that he could see clearly that this person had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, and one of the legs was lame. He glanced at it and quickly retracted his gaze, "Sit here?"
The man smiled at Xie Lingya and sat down, "Thank you."
When he smiled, Xie Lingya always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember why, because he missed his father's situation and didn't get into it.
Song Jing sent a text message and told him Father Xie's ward number. By the way, Father Xie fell down because he went out at night to change the light bulb in the corridor. Very sorry.
Xie Lingya's father just wanted to save face. He leaned against the car window to take a nap, but there were always children laughing in the car, so he couldn't rest, so he had to keep looking at his phone.
A section of the road from Tuyang to the town was broken and it was bumpy. Xie Lingya only felt the body bump, and then a kid who was playing was lying on the side aisle. When he stood up, he saw a gap in his mouth and blood. Tears flowed down for a long time.
The person next to Xie Lingya quickly helped the child up, "Whose child is this, it's bleeding!"
No one responded for a while, and the other passengers were indifferent.
The child was crying, and the more he cried, the more his mouth hurt. The man hurriedly picked him up and wiped the tissue, but the hole was too big to help, and the bleeding could not be stopped for a while.
Xie Lingya saw that he didn't care so much, so he hurriedly recited the hemostasis mantra: "Don't come out with clear blood, don't Yang with turbid blood..."
Almost at the same time, the person next to him also said, "There is no internal blood, no external blood..."
The conversation stopped at the same time, and the two looked at each other strangely.
Although the content is different, the meaning seems to be hemostasis. Is this a meeting with a colleague
Fortunately, it was just a small incident on the road, Xie Lingya quickly raised his hand, "Please."
"..." The man was a little embarrassed, but he still chanted a spell in a low voice and drew a few lines on the child's wound, "No internal blood, no external blood, people see me worrying, ghosts see me worrying, ten people see I am worried about ten people. Laojun sits at the entrance of the cave, there is blood and dare not shed..."
After cursing, as soon as the foot stomped on the ground, the child's lips immediately stopped bleeding.
The child stopped crying, he felt that the blood was no longer dripping from his mouth, and he heard the man in front of him whispering a curse, just like in a cartoon, staring at him blankly for a while.
At this point, his parents rubbed their eyes and ran from the front, looking like they had just woken up, "What's wrong!"
The child looked at the parent, came back to his senses, and said loudly, "Dad, these two brothers are immortals."
He has heard and seen it, and whoever these two immortals had humbly allowed to chant the spell before!
Xie Lingya looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, the parents didn't take the child's words seriously, and only reached out to hug the person.
"The car bumped just now and the child fell to the ground." The man handed the child to the parent and said, "Don't let the child run around in the car, it's very dangerous."
"Thank you, thank you." The parent took the child and disciplined him in a low voice.
The child was held in the arms of the parents and walked back, and he turned his head and stared at the two "immortals", his eyes widening.
The man reluctantly retracted his gaze, met Xie Lingya again, and smiled dryly.
"Hey... are you FangZhe?" Xie Lingya suddenly said.
The other party was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Lingya's face carefully, and recognized it, "You... Are you Xie Lingya?"
"It's really you, so I'll say it looks familiar." Xie Lingya remembered it just after watching him chant the Hemostatic Charm, and when he smiled, he looked more familiar.
When Xie Lingya was playing at his uncle's place when he was a child, he saw Fang Zhe, a child brought by a friend of his uncle.
The two played together a few times when they were young, but after everyone went to school, Xie Lingya went to his uncle less often. At that time, the communication was not as developed as it is now, and because I didn't live in the urban area, I gradually stopped seeing each other.
As for Fang Zhe's elders, in Xie Lingya's impression, although they didn't wear Taoist robes, they seemed to be doing weird things, and they should be considered half companions with their uncle. At that time, Fang Zhe and Xie Lingya were as interested in these things, and they often peeked together.
"It's been more than ten years since I disappeared." Fang Ze sighed, "Is your uncle okay?"
Xie Lingya said sadly, "My uncle has passed away."
Fang Zhe opened his mouth with a bitter look on his face, and said in a low voice, "...My uncle also passed away a few years ago."
The two elders are not alive, they are silent for a while. Because he was a childhood friend, Xie Lingya was not so taboo, and asked carefully, "Fang Zhe, what's wrong with your leg?"
Fang Zhe could jump and jump when he was a child, but his legs were fine at all. He wondered if there was an accident, a car accident, or a fall like his father.
Fang Zhe's expression was a little weird, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated, and he said, "After my uncle died, I learned the "Book of Luban" privately."
Xie Lingya's expression changed a little. Now he can't remember the specific occupation of Fang Zhe's elder, that is, his uncle, but as soon as Fang Ze said "Lu Ban Book", he understood that Fang Zhe's uncle was the "Book of Luban". The successor of the Book of Luban.
After the death of the elders, Xie Lingya and Fang Zhe had completely different fates. The point is that Fang Zhe's uncle is the successor of the "Book of Luban". This book is said to have been written by Lu Ban, but it is not only about building woodwork, but also many acrobatics, and it is also somewhat related to Taoism.
This book contains construction, organs, spells, talismans, incantations, etc. It is widely circulated, and the hemostatic talisman that Fang Zhe recited just now is also from it.
But the most important part of it, that is, the method of practicing spells, is passed down by word of mouth, and outsiders don't know the tricks just by reading the text.
What's more important is that any practice of the "Luban Book" will "miss one", that is, widowhood, widowhood, orphan, loneliness, and disability, there must be one of them. Fang Che's uncle never married.
Fang Zhe's parents divorced, his mother remarried, and his father worked outside the city all the year round and remarried, so Fang Zhe has been with his uncle. Uncle didn't want FangZhe to study "Luban Book" with himself, just worried that he would be the same as himself. His uncle didn't have any descendants either, but he would rather lose this book than let Fang Zhe come to learn it.
But Fang Zhe thought at that time, what is the difference between his current situation and that of an orphan? Therefore, Fang Zhe often pays attention to peeking at his uncle's tricks. After his uncle died, Fang Zhe officially began to practice the "Lu Ban Book".
Who knew that fate was destined, Fang Zhe was in the "disabled" category. He had a car accident two years ago and his leg was lame.
Xie Lingya felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what happened to his childhood partner, "You really shouldn't practice this."
FangZhe shook his head, "I once regretted it, and then I asked myself, if I was given another chance, would I be able to resist the temptation to learn the "Luban Book"? I think I will learn it, after all I have thought about it for so long. "
Everyone has their own ideas, and Xie Lingya can't say anything after hearing that, "How is your life now?"
"The Town Disabled Persons' Federation also helped me to start my own business, but I'm not that good at all. I used the money to open a store and planted fruit, but I didn't get it. Now I'm working everywhere, and I don't have a stable job. After all... this No, I just lost my job again, go back to stay for a while, and look for a job after the new year."
Xie Lingya understood what Fang Zhe had not finished, he saw Xie Lingya's expression and smiled again: "It's nothing, I usually draw a talisman to see a house when I'm fine, but there are fewer and fewer people who pay attention to these things. What about you, how are you now?"
Xie Lingya briefly explained his current situation, and then said, "Come to our place to have a look. I have a friend who is a very good doctor. Maybe it can help you recover a little bit."
Fang Zhe nodded dispensably, not holding out hope, but it was okay to catch up with Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya: "By the way, do you want to be a Taoist or not..."
"Don't, don't let me be a Taoist priest." Fang Zhe looked scared, "Your expression just says, it's better to be a Taoist priest for you if you work part-time. Forget it, even a home Taoist priest has a lot of rules. Besides, I don't have that understanding at all."
Xie Lingya said embarrassingly: "It's not so, you can learn all the "Luban Book"."
At this time, the bus was about to arrive, and the two exchanged contact information and made an appointment to see FangZhe in two days.
Xie Lingya is actually still pondering in his heart. Fang Zhexue's "Luban Book" also contains miscellaneous talismans. Baoyangguan's talisman business is quite stable now, but he is the only one who confesses. If possible, you can ask Fang Zhe if he wants it. Come to draw talismans, this will also increase Fang Zhe's income, killing two birds with one stone.
Xie Lingya said goodbye to Fang Zhe and stopped at the hospital.
…
After Xie Lingya entered the ward, Father Xie had a plaster cast on his leg. Seeing him coming, he asked Song Jing angrily, "How did you tell the child?"
Song Jing smiled and said nothing.
"There's nothing I can't tell you." Xie Lingya and Song Jing nodded and sat down. "I came in a hurry, so I didn't buy anything. What do you say, doctor? Can't go to class?"
Father Xie sighed and talked to Xie Lingya. He seemed to be in good spirits, which made Xie Lingya feel relieved.
After a while, the nurse came to urge the patient to rest early. Xie Lingya said to Song Jing, "I'll escort you down. I'll be here tonight so that Dad won't be inconvenienced."
Song Jing still wanted to say that she was guarding, but Xie Lingya was firm, and she was embarrassed to fight with Xie Lingya, the two were not intimate at all.
Xie Lingya sent Song Jing out of the hospital, and there was no need to send it to her home in a small place. Just looking at Song Jing, Xie Lingya always felt something different. Since he learned Taoism, he has become more sensitive to the face and breath of people, and Song Jing seems to be more angry.
The two went downstairs in silence, Xie Lingya was thinking, when Song Jing wanted to say goodbye to the door, he followed: "I'll take you home."
Song Jing was stunned for a moment, wondering why he changed his mind again. He thought he had something to say to herself, so he walked back uneasy. But when he walked to the door, Xie Lingya didn't say anything.
When Song Jing was about to enter the door, Xie Lingya said, "... Aunt Song, come to the hospital tomorrow and have a checkup too."
"I'm fine. Your dad fell, but I didn't." Song Jing said inexplicably.
"It's okay to have a physical examination." Xie Lingya insisted. Fortunately, Song Jing didn't fall. He was more angry because he suspected Song Jing was pregnant, but he couldn't be 100% sure.
The stepson rarely made any requests, and Song Jing simply agreed with a few words.
Xie Lingya took care of Father Xie all night, but it was nothing. Father Xie had a cast on his leg and went to the toilet to help. Song Jing came to the hospital the next morning and brought them breakfast.
Song Jing thought of what Xie Lingya said, "Then... I went?"
"Go." Xie Lingya said.
After Song Jing left, Father Xie said, "What did you ask Auntie to do?"
He thought it was very strange that when Xie Lingya and Song Jing met, they only had basic exchanges.
Xie Lingya smiled and said nothing.
About an hour later, Song Jing came back with a confused look and a list in her hand.
Xie Lingya was pouring water for Father Xie, "What's wrong?"
Song Jing raised her hand and said blankly, "... I'm pregnant."
The news was caught off guard, and the water in Father Xie's glass poured onto the quilt, and he choked several times, "Cough, what?"
Although the two of them did not deliberately do contraception, they did not want to have children in these years. Song Jing was a little younger than him, and she was thirty-seven or eighty.
Father Xie was both surprised and delighted, so Song Jing came to his side, took her hand, and asked if the test results were healthy, and if the doctor had any advice.
"Nothing..." Song Jing said, turning to look at Xie Lingya, she was more shocked than Father Xie.
The child was only about a month old, and she didn't even notice it herself, but Xie Lingya asked her to have a checkup. Could it be that she was pregnant? Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain, Xie Lingya has a weak relationship with her, why would she suddenly ask her for a medical examination.
But how did Xie Lingya find out that she was pregnant? Isn't this kid studying finance? Song Jing was so stunned that she didn't know what to say.
Father Xie thought she was worried about Xie Lingya's mood, and was a little embarrassed for a while, so he let go of her hand.
Xie Lingya smiled nonchalantly, "I'll ask the nurse and hire a nurse for you. It's not good for Aunt Song to stay in bed again."
Father Xie breathed a sigh of relief, he knew Xie Lingya, Xie Lingya said so, it should be nothing.
Xie Lingya spent another day with Father Xie in the hospital. He waited for the nurse to arrive before leaving. He made an appointment to see him again next weekend.
Song Jing never found a chance to ask Xie Lingya, and after he left, she worriedly mentioned this matter to Father Xie.
Father Xie actually also vaguely thought that Song Jing greeted Xie Lingya inexplicably before the examination. He knew the magic of Wang Yuji for a long time, including Xie Lingya jumping over the wall to exorcise ghosts at other people's houses, but he never made it public, not even Song Jing.
Now this trick is also learned from my uncle. Father Xie pondered for a while, although Xie Lingya promised, but now he is suddenly a little afraid that Xie Lingya will become a monk!
Xie Lingya didn't know that his father was worrying about gains and losses again. He was afraid that he would become a Taoist priest. He returned to Baoyang Temple and told everyone who cared about him very calmly that his father's fracture was not serious.
A day later, Fang Zhe came as promised, Xie Lingya and him reminisced in the old house, and recalled all kinds of childhood.
This is where Xie Lingya also led Fang Zhe to Haiguanchao, and let Haiguanchao show him.
Zhang Daoting asked Xie Lingya to go out halfway, and when Xie Lingya returned to the clinic, he heard Hai Guanchao say, "Please remove the recruitment notice, I decided to hire Xiao Fang."
Xie Lingya: "???"
Asking you to treat the disease, the two actually started talking about work.
Fang Zhe also smiled at Xie Lingya, "I had a great conversation with Dr. Hai. He said he was recruiting people here, and I was looking for a job again, so we hit it off."
Hai Guanchao is very satisfied with Fang Zhe. His disability does not affect his help in sorting out the medicine cabinet and decoction.
What impresses Hai Guanchao the most is that Fang Zhe is the successor of the "Book of Luban", which also involves some healing spells. That is to say, Fang Zhe knows a little about medicine and can help, but he will not conflict with him like some of his colleagues.
Xie Lingya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, let them say this, this job seems to be really suitable for Fang Zhe.
Hai Guanchao even thought about it, Fang Ze came to work in Tuyang, and could live in a room with him, he didn't mind anyway. Otherwise, if the clinic needs to expand in the future, it can also be separated into a small room.
They don't mind anymore, Xie Lingya doesn't mind even more. He said to FangZhe, "What to say... I originally wanted you to work for me to draw talismans, but who would have been kidnapped by Brother Hai first."
"Do you still need to draw talismans here?" Fang Zhe was quite interested, "I haven't drawn them for a long time, and no one needs them."
Hai Guanchao joked: "You can also work two jobs."
…
So Fang Zhe changed his body and became the second member of Taisu Clinic. He also lived in Baoyangguan. Like Haiguanchao, he could also be regarded as a non-staff member here.
Anyway, that's what Xie Lingya said when he introduced it to others.
Shi Changxuan heard that Fang Zhe was the successor of the "Book of Luban", and thoughtfully said, "My father once met a man in another province in his early years. He is proficient in Luban techniques, especially good at organs. His research advocates the combination of organs and spells. , to realize the automation of exorcism as soon as possible.”
Xie Lingya: "…"
Xie Lingya: "...This senior really has ideals. But I did well in elementary school. After I talked to him before, in addition to asking him to produce some miscellaneous characters to sell in the temple, he also promised to help me build something. "
Shi Changxuan asked curiously, "Where is it used in the view?"
At this time, Shang Lushen whispered in his ear, "Xie Lingya is fine!!"
Shi Changxuan suddenly had a bad premonition, "..."
"No," Sure enough, Xie Lingya put his hand on his shoulder and touched Shang Lushen, earnestly, "I asked him to use willow wood to make such a small bed for Shang Lushen to sleep on, and put it on your windowsill in the future, it is also convenient for the night. Absorb the essence of the sun and moon."
Shi Changxuan: "..."
Shi Changxuan was about to pinch Shang Lushen, who was crying non-stop, when the phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and listened for a while, his face became a little dignified.
Xie Lingya saw that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Changxuan said solemnly, "The seal of Yang Ping's governance has been stolen."
Shi Changxuan had previously told Xie Lingya the origin of Yangping's power seal for ruling the capital. This piece of the Three Treasures left by Tianshi is also the seal used by Zhang Tianshi himself, and it is hidden in the Provincial Museum.
Xie Lingya was shocked, "The museum can also be stolen? No, who is so bold, not afraid of being cursed by the Taoist priests all over the world?"
