Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Li Hao's Prescription
Wang Yuantai hid the prescription behind his back, and said in a low voice: "It's better to have a prescription than none, alas, let a dead horse be a living horse doctor." After finishing speaking, he called out to a patrolling soldier in the distance: " Hey, Zhao Dacheng, come here!"

The patrolling soldier named Zhao Dacheng trotted over and saluted: "Wang Sige, what's your order?"

Wang Yuantai handed the prescription to him solemnly, and said: "This is the prescription given by Mr. Li Hao. It is said that it can cure the plague. You send it to Imperial Physician Liu and ask him to decoct the medicine according to the prescription and feed it to Hu Cunzheng's family. The two sons drink."

Li Hao reminded: "Let him cook a little more, and also give Hu Cunzheng and his wife some to drink. This soup has an anti-epidemic effect."

Zhao Dacheng was shocked when he heard the words. He felt that the prescription in his hand was no longer a prescription, but a treasure of the world. He gently folded him up and put it in his palm, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Wang Sige, even if my subordinates lose their lives, they will protect you." Good recipe."

Li Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard it, it was just sending a letter in this spittoon-sized village, and it was as tragic as going to the battlefield.

After Zhao Dacheng's impassioned remark, he went to deliver the prescription. The location was under a big willow tree in the village. It was originally an open space for the village to dry grain collectively, also known as the grain farm, but now there have been more than a dozen of them erected on the grain farm. A tent, officers, sergeants, and doctors all live here. A few hundred feet away from the willow tree, there are several small white tents. This is the isolation zone. Anyone who has the plague or has contact with the plague patients will He was taken there to be isolated, and the old man Hu's family was there at the moment.

About ten feet outside the tent, four or five soldiers were patrolling and guarding, not allowing anyone to approach, and not allowing people inside to come out.

When Zhao Dacheng gave the prescription to Imperial Physician Liu, Imperial Physician Liu snorted coldly: "Nonsense, there is no prescription for plague in this world, and it must be some charlatan who wants to take advantage of the plague to get rich. The death penalty should be imposed!"

Doctor Cao at the side persuaded, "Mr. Liu, don't get angry. We can't do anything about this plague right now. Since someone offers a prescription, it's okay for us to try it. If the prescription doesn't work, it won't be too late to punish the plague."

"Brother Cao is right." Doctor Hong, who is kind and gentle, agreed, "Let's try the prescription first, and then question the crime. If you punish someone without even trying the prescription, it will be a shame."

Although Imperial Physician Liu thought the prescription was deceptive, he also knew what Dr. Cao and the others said were reasonable, so he sighed helplessly: "Okay, Cen Er, take the prescription and go to decoct the medicine."

"Yes, Master." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stepped forward to take the prescription from Zhao Dacheng, and went to another tent to grab the medicine and decoct it.

About half an hour later, that is, an hour, Cen Er, a disciple of Imperial Physician Liu, came to report that the medicine had been decocted. Dr. Liu waved his hand and said nothing. , So he exited the tent, filled four bowls of soup and medicine, put them in a food box, and sent them to the isolation area.

Cen Er naturally did not dare to go deep into the isolation area, but handed the food boxes to the soldiers guarding outside. The soldiers carried the food boxes to a place four feet away from the isolation tent, took out the medicine bowls, and placed one every three feet. They lined up, then retreated to the original place, and yelled at the isolation tent: "Come out and get the soup!"

After a while, I saw Hu Dashan and the old man and his wife get out of the tent one after another. Hu Dashan and Hu Xiaohai had been diagnosed with plague, so they lived together. The old man and his wife lived in different tents. The old man Hu was so excited that he burst into tears, and the Liu family cried directly: "Dashan, Dashan, are you okay, Xiaohai, how are you..." As he said that, he wanted to run towards Hu Dashan.

Soldiers in the distance opened their bows and set arrows one after another, shouting sharply: "Stop quickly, or shoot them on the spot!"

Surprised by the shouting, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to move forward any more, and could only wipe away her tears and cry. Seeing his parents like this, Hu Dashan couldn't help crying when he thought of his family being infected with the plague. I still don't forget to comfort my parents: "Father, mother, I'm fine, and Xiao Hai is also fine, but we don't have much strength, so we all take the medicine obediently. I heard that this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. It is the doctor who treats the emperor. He is the most powerful doctor in the world, we will get well soon..."

The soldiers felt very sympathetic when they saw the tragic situation of their family, but they were soldiers who had been on the battlefield, and they had already cultivated their hearts of stone. Staying outside for too long!"

After hearing the words, Hu Dashan went to get two bowls of medicine first, and then returned to the tent. Old man Hu and Mrs. Liu also went to get the medicine bowls one after the other. They naturally knew that the plague could not be cured, but for such a little hope, they still went back. Drank all the medicine.

Hu Xiaohai is only ten years old this year, at the age when he loves to play, but now he can only lie on the straw bed, his body and face are covered with dark gray spots, terrifying and frightening, Hu Dashan's arms are also These spots have appeared.

Hu Xiaohai was unable to get out of bed and walk, and Hu Dashan fed the medicine for drinking. After Hu Xiaohai finished drinking the medicine, he looked up at Hu Dashan and said guiltily, "Brother, I'm sorry, I made you sick too."

Hu Dashan squeezed out a smile: "Idiot, you are my younger brother, how could you harm me, don't talk nonsense."

Hu Xiaohai looked leisurely at the sunlight coming in from the gap in the tent, and asked leisurely, "Brother, are we going to die?"

Hu Dashan was shocked, and tears poured out again. After all, he was still afraid of death. After all, he was only 12 years old, and the best years of his life had not yet begun, and they were about to end.

"Brother, you are crying." Hu Xiaohai looked up and saw that Hu Dashan was crying.

Hu Dashan wiped away his tears and said with a forced smile: "Brother didn't cry, it's just that the sand got into his eyes, you go to bed first, this is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, it's very effective, after a sleep, you'll be fine when you wake up."

"Yeah." Hu Xiaohai, who has always been naughty, finally became well-behaved at the critical moment of life and death. He lay down and closed his eyes and began to sleep. In fact, he was not sleepy at all, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, because he had slept for five hours, but he knew It will be very tiring for my brother to take care of himself, and it will make him feel more relaxed if he sleeps by himself.

But for some reason, he lay down for a while, and really felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep before he knew it.

When Hu Xiaohai woke up, it was evening, and the tent was getting darker and darker. He got up slowly, and found that his body had some strength, not as weak as in the morning.

At this moment, Hu Dashan was resting on another wooden couch. He seemed to have had some bad dreams, and his brows kept frowning. When Hu Xiaohai saw his brother frowning in his sleep, he felt more guilt in his heart. He couldn't help but come up with an idea: I was the one who killed our family, and I was the disaster star.

Hu Xiaohai, who hadn't experienced anything before, got into a dead end for a moment, got out of bed gently, put on rag shoes, and tiptoed out of the tent.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, the patrolling soldiers outside found him. Immediately, someone pointed a bow and arrow at him and shouted in a cold voice: "Plague patients, don't walk around at will, go back!"

Hu Xiaohai gritted his teeth, mustered up all his courage, and walked towards those soldiers, he was courting death!

"Looking for death" is usually used to scold people, but not here, he really wanted to die, but he didn't have the tools to commit suicide, nor did he have the courage to commit suicide, so he could only use the hands of these soldiers to kill himself, he thought it was The punishment I deserved, a ten-year-old child had such an idea, it can't help but make people feel sad and respectable.

"Stop! Otherwise we'll shoot arrows!" The soldier yelled loudly, but it was useless. Hu Xiaohai clenched his teeth and moved forward step by step. He could feel his legs trembling. Exhausting all his courage and strength, even the soldiers were shocked, they didn't know what the kid was up to.

"Xiao Hai! Come back!" Hu Dashan was awakened by the shouting just now, and rushed out of the tent. Seeing that Hu Xiaohai actually made a move to seek death, he rushed up with a loud cry, and threw Hu Xiaohai to the ground.

Hu Xiaohai struggled with all his might, shouting to himself: "Let me die, I'm the one who killed you, I'm sorry to my parents, I'm sorry to you, it's all my fault, everyone in our family is going to die..." he said By the end, I was sobbing.

Hu Dashan managed to hold him down, and suddenly asked in shock: "Xiao Hai, where did you get so much strength?"

When Hu Xiaohai was asked by him, he forgot to cry, wiped his tears and said, "I've always been so energetic."

"That's not what I meant!" Hu Dashan thought about his words, and then asked, "Didn't you feel weak because of the plague? You couldn't even get out of bed and walk. Why do you have strength now?"

Hu Xiaohai shook his head in confusion: "I don't know either."

At this moment, three official servants came from afar with a few food boxes, and said loudly from afar: "It's time for dinner, it's time for dinner."

Three soldiers greeted them, took the food boxes and ran back, left two food boxes for dinner, and sent the other three to the tent area. This is the dinner for the four members of the Hu family, and one of the food boxes is what they should drink medicine.

Hu Dashan and Hu Xiaohai took away a food box and two bowls of soup and medicine. After a while, Old Man Hu and Mrs. Liu came out and took the remaining two bowls back into the tent.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, shortly after the patrolling soldiers changed their guards, they heard Hu Dashan's voice coming from the tent: "Great, Xiao Hai, the plague spots on our bodies have faded!"

Then I saw Hu Dashan rushing out of the tent excitedly, shouting to the tent more than ten feet away: "Father, mother, the plague spots on our bodies have faded!"

These words were like throwing a stone into a calm river, causing ripples. Old man Hu and Mrs. Liu rushed out of the tent excitedly, stood at the door and asked questions excitedly, while the soldiers who had just changed shifts had a look on their faces. Confused, the leading soldier asked one of the brothers to report the situation to Imperial Physician Liu.

This place is very close to the medical tent. When Physician Liu and the other two doctors heard about this, they quickly put down what they were doing, put on the epidemic prevention equipment, and rushed to the isolation area in a hurry. Sure enough, they saw Hu Dashan and Hu Xiaohai He was chatting with his parents from a long distance away, and he didn't look like a person infected with the plague at all.

Imperial Physician Liu interrupted their chat, walked closer, observed Hu Xiaohai carefully, and found that most of the plague spots on his body had faded away, and the color had also faded a lot, which was a sign of the weakening of the plague.

Physician Liu was excited, stepped forward a few steps, came to Hu Xiaohai, grabbed his wrist to check his pulse, Hu Xiaohai saw that he was a doctor, and asked him with blinking eyes: "Mr., am I getting better soon?" gone?"

After a while, Imperial Physician Liu suddenly let go of Hu Xiaohai's hand, his eyes glowed, and he murmured excitedly: "The medicine really works! It really works!"

After finishing speaking, he ran all the way back, shouting as he ran, "It's done! It's done! This medicine really works!"

When Dr. Cao and Dr. Hong heard this, they were so excited that they burst into tears, and they kept shouting: "Great, great, we are saved! The people of Tang Dynasty are saved!"

After Imperial Physician Liu ran in front of them, he first explained to Cen Er: "Precoct more of this medicine, and give them three doses a day. At the same time, give the village soldiers and fellow villagers also take this medicine. If there is an epidemic, it will be cured. It can also be used just in case.”

"Yes! Master!" Cen Er nodded and accepted the order.

Doctor Hong thought for a while, and suggested: "Physician Liu, since this soup is so miraculous, why don't we report it."

Imperial Physician Liu thought about it carefully, stroked his beard and said slowly: "It's still too early to ask for credit. Let's wait a day or two and see how the follow-up effect is. If the good news is wrongly reported, I'm afraid that all three of us will lose our lives."

Both Hong and Cao nodded their heads when they heard the words, sighing secretly that Imperial Physician Liu is indeed a member of the officialdom, and he is much more sophisticated than them in this way, and he can see it more thoroughly than them.
