49. Test drug
This is the first time that Gu Qianxue has traveled such a long distance to Nanyue Country, and it is also the first time to go out as a guest.
Of course, going to Prince Li's Mansion doesn't count.
The carriage passed the lively market, passed the alleys of residential houses, and then passed the small woods, and just left the city.
Yulian and Yucui were a little worried, and secretly tugged at the corner of Gu Qianxue's clothes, "Miss, are we going too far?"
How could Gu Qianxue care about it? It has long been like a runaway pony, as excited as a bird out of the cage, not to mention, there is this miraculous lightness kung fu, you know, Chinese people have an inexplicable enthusiasm for martial arts and light kung fu.
"It's not far, it's not far, what kind of distance is this? I used to study in the United States, and that was half a circle around the earth!" After speaking, he turned back and chatted with Zhou Rongqiu, what kind of bodyguard agency, what kind of martial arts sect.
Yulian and Yucui looked at each other suspiciously—studying abroad? U.S? What is the earth
Soon, they arrived at Zhou Rongqiu's home, Zhou Mansion.
It is said to be the Zhou Mansion, but it is actually not as luxurious as the mansions in the city.
But after all, it is an old house handed down from the ancestors. Although the house is old, it has a different kind of heritage.
The house has a wall, but the wall is only half, as if it is only in front of the front. There is a gate, the Zhumen is huge and majestic, with a plaque on it saying "Master Zhou's Mansion", and an inscription next to it. The name is very strange. Gu Qianxue estimated that it should be another inscription by a very powerful person from Nanyue Kingdom or some other country.
It's a pity that this exquisite gold-plated plaque is gray and dusty, which means that no one has cleaned it, and it also shows that the owner doesn't care about these false names at all.
The gate is open, and there are few birds, and the stone lions on both sides are a little lonely.
After going up the stone steps and entering the door, Gu Qianxue was amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
I saw that there were towering trees on both sides of the stone road, the trunks of which were so thick that the two of them could barely hug each other. In autumn, the leaves were golden, some swayed on the branches, and some simply fell to the ground.
Gu Qianxue has seen many boulevards, but this is the first time she has seen this kind of boulevard formed by ancient trees. The branches on both sides are intertwined in the sky, leaving only one passage, and the sunlight penetrates through very few gaps. , forming a beam of light in the shade of the trees, and the beam of light leaves light and shadow on the ground, mottled and dreamy.
There are also many golden fallen leaves on the stone pavement, like a beautiful oil painting.
Gu Qianxue stared at the trees dumbfounded, and said, "These trees must be very old, right?"
Zhou Rongqiu said, "I don't know, anyway, this house has been passed down from generation to generation by our Zhou family. In the past, the Zhou family had a prosperous population, but I heard from my grandfather that in my grandfather's generation and the previous generation, some members of the clan moved in one after another. After leaving other countries, the Zhou family gradually disappeared, and after my parents passed away, it was only my grandfather and me."
While talking, the two walked side by side on the boulevard.
Yulian and Yucui followed, also surprised by the beautiful scenery.
"I just heard that besides you, there is only an old couple in this house, right?" Gu Qianxue asked.
"Yes." Zhou Rongqiu replied, "Originally there were a lot of servants, and even a doctor came to my house as a servant just to learn medical skills, but after my grandfather passed away, I dismissed them all, mainly because I seldom At home, it is useless to keep servants, only Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong are left."
In addition, Zhou Rongqiu has been gathering and experimenting with new medicines all year round, and the people who came to seek medical treatment could not find a miracle doctor. Gradually, no one came to seek medical treatment again.
Yu Cui, who was behind her, couldn't help being curious, "Young Master Zhou, I have a question, can I ask it?"
Zhou Rongqiu didn't put on airs at all, "Miss Yucui, you're welcome, if you have any questions, just ask."
Yucui said, "Since Mr. Zhou is a genius doctor, and Mr. Zhou's grandfather is also a genius doctor, why did Mr. Zhou's parents die so young, and Mr. Zhou's grandfather died so early? All the officials in the city live long lives."
Although this question is embarrassing, Gu Qianxue is also extremely curious. In modern times, doctors live a long life. The main reason is that doctors have good self-discipline and know how to maintain their health.
"Experimental medicine." Zhou Rongqiu's complexion suddenly became serious, and he lowered his eyes to hide the sadness in his eyes, "Grandfather and father are both extremely progressive people in medicine, and sometimes they even test medicine by themselves, my father is In order to cure a poison, he died when he tried the poison himself, and my grandfather tried the medicine too many times, although he was cured every time, but his body couldn't stand the repeated toss, so he passed away early."
Gu Qianxue was dumbfounded. She had heard of "Shen Nong Tasting Herbs" in modern times, but she didn't know that it actually existed.
But after thinking about it, when Li Shizhen created "Compendium of Materia Medica", he traveled all over the land of China. On the one hand, he collected knowledge of medicinal herbs from various places, and on the other hand, he also wanted to taste and test medicines.
Thinking back again, when I was in college, I often opened textbooks and saw so many drug names, characteristics and medicinal effects. It was very boring to memorize them one by one, but I forgot that these precious materials were obtained by the predecessors with painstaking efforts and lives. , it is not easy.
Doctors, respect doctors more.
Zhou Rongqiu restrained his usual heartless laugh, his expression was focused, his deep eyes were full of self-evident sadness, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but that smile was bitter.
"It's because being a member of the Zhou family has to pay too much, so now, the clansmen have left one after another. They would rather open medical clinics in various places and be unknown doctors than stay in the Zhou family and provoke the master of the genius doctor family." Zhou Rongqiu looked around, "This house used to be prosperous, but now it is lonely, but I hope that it will be lonely forever."
Gu Qianxue sighed silently, but didn't know what to say.
Miraculous doctors, miraculous doctors, who can cure diseases that others cannot cure, and can cure poisons that others cannot cure, have to pay efforts and prices that other doctors cannot pay.
"That's why you were so excited when you heard me talk about animal experiments in Ling Xiao Pavilion, isn't it?" Gu Qianxue asked softly.
Zhou Rongqiu nodded with a smile, turned his head, and stared at Gu Qianxue with burning eyes, "Yes, at that time I thought, why didn't the clansmen think of animal experiments? They experimented on themselves instead."
Gu Qianxue suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly asked in surprise, "You don't want to experiment on yourself, do you?"
Zhou Rongqiu smiled slyly, "I haven't lived enough, so I don't want to try poison. I don't care about the reputation of a genius doctor or not. If I can cure it, I will cure it. If I can't cure it, I will leave. Even if I am scolded or stabbed in the back , so what? You can’t kill me, can you?”
Gu Qianxue nodded frequently, "You're right." But her tone suddenly changed, "Don't lie to me, I don't think you are the kind of person who doesn't think about making progress."
"How do you know?" Zhou Rongqiu looked at Gu Qianxue in surprise, "That's right, although I don't test the medicine on myself, I look everywhere for people with related symptoms, and treat them for free, and try the medicine by the way."
Gu Qianxue smiled and said, "It's not that I know, but you said it when you were in Ling Xiao Pavilion, I just remember it."
But at the same time, Gu Qianxue had an inspiration—after her penicillin has undergone animal experiments, can she also find people with related diseases and conduct clinical trials
