Not to mention that Meng Xinlan was a reasonable person. Even if she was nervous because she had just arrived in a strange place and was kind to Xiaocao and wanted Xiaocao to stay and accompany her, she would definitely not say anything after Xiaocao clearly stated that she had something to ask. As a new bride, how could she make any demands on her aunt? That would be annoying.
Before leaving, Xiaocao told Wenren Yang not to think about reading today, as newlyweds should act like newlyweds. In Xiaocao's opinion, newlyweds should be a time to show affection and love, and if they don't do it well, they deserve to be beaten.
Wenren Yang has always been a good boy in front of his fourth sister.
It would be fine to just give a few words of advice, but Xiaocao certainly can't do anything about what happens.
After leaving the Wen family, Xiaocao went directly to the clinic where he had been yesterday and checked on the condition of several injured people. They had all woken up and were in good condition. Xiaocao gave them further treatment. Perhaps the people in the clinic had already told them what happened yesterday, so they were very grateful to Xiaocao, but after the gratitude there was a longer silence.
Come to think of it, even if they were born in a humble family and their lives were in the hands of their master, they would definitely not feel good when they heard their master say, "You are a worthless person, so if you die, you die."
Xiao Cao doesn't have the time to be a spiritual mentor. Besides, this class issue is not in line with her values. If she says something, others might think she is crazy. She still has things to do. As for the final arrangements for them, it depends on the Xu Guogong Mansion.
As for the fact that they haven't come to see me yet, maybe the people in the Imperial Hospital have the disease under control. If that's the case, then that's the best. This is actually what Xiaocao hopes for. But if the wife of the Prince of Xu is unwilling to come to see me for some reason, then it really has nothing to do with Xiaocao. Some things become indifferent after seeing them too many times.
To keep the patient in the clinic, someone would need to be hired to take care of him. Xiaocao paid for all the expenses. He also gave the doctor a notebook, which contained Xiaocao's previous notes on trauma.
The doctor was so overjoyed that he almost knelt down to kowtow to Xiaocao.
In fact, Xiaocao also wrote similar letters to people in the Imperial Medical Service, such as the Imperial Physician Dong. Her original intention had always been clear, which was to carry forward the medical skills and enable them to continuously improve and benefit more people, rather than to be self-centered and work in isolation.
This is Xiaocao's will, and actually also her adoptive father's will. When he traveled around in the past, he would try his best to teach people, teach ordinary people some commonly used herbs, and teach doctors more medical skills. However, because he had to collect and study more diseases, he would not stay in one place for too long, so it seemed that there was no effect, but in fact it was not the case.
Even so, what can be done is ultimately very limited. But Xiaocao is different now. She can do much more.
However, this matter cannot be rushed and needs to be done slowly. What's more, for her, the most important thing at the moment is Wei Tingyu. Until this matter is over, other things will not occupy the main position.
Xiaocao's carriage was carrying the last batch of books he had taken from the Imperial Medical Service. He had to deliver them back personally today. Then he wanted to see if he could find some more medical books in the Imperial Medical Service. Since there were no more books belonging to the Imperial Medical Service, perhaps he could look for them from private individuals.
Xiaocao hadn't been to the Imperial Hospital for a long time, so she was naturally welcomed by many people.
However, Xiaocao only took a glance and found that someone was missing. It was not because all the people in the Imperial Hospital had to revolve around her when she came, but mainly because Imperial Physician Dong, who would report to her whenever she appeared, was not there, and the same was true for another "problem king".
Xiaocao could probably guess where they were now. Of course, it could be someone else. After all, the Imperial Medical Service served the royal family and many dignitaries. With so many people, they might be needed at any time.
Ask someone to bring down the medical skills, count them, and then return them to their original place.
"Does the Imperial Hospital have no other medical books? Some obscure ancient books or something will do. Or do you have any? If so, can you lend them to me? Or we can exchange them."
Most of the people in the Imperial Hospital had a good impression of Xiaocao. She was always willing to tell them everything she knew about their problems, and she learned something from them. It was just about medical skills. If they had special collections, she believed they would be willing to show them to her. But in fact, the Imperial Hospital basically had everything they had, so there was nothing she could do to help them.
Xiaocao was a little disappointed, but it was expected. Even if it was death, it would only be a small one.
When Xiaocao was about to leave, "Um, Miss Wenren..." a medicine boy who had been hiding at the back spoke hesitantly.
Xiao Cao locked onto the target immediately, "But there is..."
Everyone turned around to look at the medicine boy. He was only about ten years old and was still wearing the clothes of a handyman. He had no sense of existence on weekdays. Now that he had become the focus of attention, he was very nervous. "No, no, no, no," he denied hastily. "I don't have anything. However, the ancient books that Miss Wenren mentioned, I am usually responsible for cleaning the library. There is a utility room behind the library. There is a box in it, which contains bamboo and wooden slips and animal skin scrolls from earlier times. Most of them are related to "witch doctors". There are very few things that are related to medical skills. I wonder if this counts as the ancient books that Miss Wenren mentioned?"
Xiao Cao's eyes lit up unconsciously, "Really?"
"Now that you mention it, I remember that there do seem to be some of these things in the Imperial Hospital." An elderly imperial physician stroked his graying beard and said, "Although 'witch doctor' also has the word 'doctor' in it, it is actually very different. Miss..."
"It doesn't hurt to take a look." When he couldn't find any clues, Xiaocao didn't want to miss anything.
Xiaocao insisted, and the box in the utility room was soon carried out.
The things inside were very old and incomplete, and some of the writing was not very clear, but overall they were still well preserved. The box was not big, and with the animal skin scrolls, there were probably about 20 to 30 scrolls. Xiaocao carefully took them out and opened them one by one. She was glad that when she was studying with Tingyu, she also learned several ancient fonts from Mr. Che. You know, her memory was very good - otherwise, in her previous life, she would not have been able to study all medical subjects in a limited time - so it was naturally easy to learn, so now, she could read the contents above without any obstacles.
Whether it was bamboo slips, wooden slips, or animal skin scrolls, the contents were limited and could be read in a few glances. Obviously, these things really had nothing to do with medical skills. After reading one scroll, he put it aside and took out the next one.
After repeating this process over and over again, I had quickly scanned more than half of the content, and it could be said to be "meaningless".
I didn't have high hopes in the first place, so it's not really a disappointment.
It was just that when a certain animal skin scroll was opened, Xiao Cao didn't react at first. But after reading half of the content, his eyes couldn't help but fix on it, and the strength of his hands couldn't help but increase a bit. This animal skin scroll was different from other things, because it was a travelogue written by a witch doctor. Not to mention other miscellaneous things, it just introduced a plant that was quite magical. It could make the old people full of vitality and appear young and strong, which aroused heated discussion. However, someone looked for it later, but couldn't find it. As time went by, it was defined as a weird talk and nonsense, and it was left unresolved.
Xiaocao looked at the plant drawn with just a few strokes. It seemed to be just an ordinary grass with a medium stem. He looked at it for a long time, and then read the description, especially the location. He read it word by word many times and could clearly remember it all.
I don’t know how long it took before Xiaocao carefully rolled it up and put it away. However, there was not much emotion on her face.
She did not give up on the remaining things in the box. She took them out one by one and read them all until the last volume.
Except for the animal skin scroll, all the others were put back intact.
Most people's curious eyes fell on Xiaocao's hand. Xiaocao shook it and said, "Can I take it away? There is something on it. Maybe it will be useful."
"Miss, if you think it's useful, just take it. The things in this utility room were originally discarded. This box of things was preserved only because the books in front of it can be considered ancient. In fact, many people have studied it." The elderly imperial physician looked at Xiaocao and twirled his beard. "Some things are just rumors, just like those strange stories. Miss Wenren, you'd better not take it too seriously." Obviously, this man was one of the people who studied these things, and he knew what Xiaocao took.
Xiao Cao smiled and said, "Thank you, old man. But sometimes, you just have to keep trying until you hit the wall."
Hearing this, the elder didn't say anything else.
Xiaocao took the things back and entered his study. He spread out the animal skin scroll on the desk, then flipped through a geography book from the bookshelf and confirmed the location on the animal skin scroll. Of course, the range was a bit large, and trying to find even a single "weed" was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, according to what was written on the animal skin scroll, the location was very distinctive, it was a "big sinkhole", so it was easy to find.
Xiaocao has already made up her mind and is now waiting for her adoptive father to come back.
After returning to his desk, Xiaocao began to list solutions with "weeds" as the main remedy, even though it might be useless in the end.
