Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3: Hulao Pass fooled Hua Tuo

() Early in the morning, the servants loaded the luggage into the carriage, Lu Rui and Cao Cao sat in the carriage, and the servants drove the carriage to Luoyang.Along the way, Lu Rui looked at the scenery on the road and was very excited. This was the first time that Lu Rui came out of Cao's mansion, and the first time he got close to the natural world of Dahan.The air in ancient times was really fresh, unpolluted air, and there was a hint of sweetness in the air. Lu Rui enjoyed this kind of nature very much, and went to play by the stream from time to time. Cao Cao was also very happy to play with Lu Rui, showing his smile from time to time. The ugly smile made Lu Rui speechless, Father Zhong, you don't look very good, so don't smile, you hurt your eyes!

After half a month's journey, Cao Cao and his party finally arrived at the boundary of Luoyang, the first pass of the Han Dynasty. Standing in front of Hulao Pass, Lu Rui saw the ancient pass for the first time. It is rugged, the city wall is more than [-] feet high, and there is only one gate less than five meters wide to enter and exit the customs.Lu Rui jumped out of the carriage, and said to Cao Cao, "Father Zhong, shall we play here?"

Cao Cao looked at the lovely Lu Rui, patted his head and said: "Okay, Ruier, since you like this place, we will stay here for a few days. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to enter Luoyang, so we will accompany you here Play for a few more days." Cao Cao had a purpose in staying at Hulao Pass, although He Jin recruited himself into the General's Mansion, Cao Cao was still unclear about the situation in Luoyang, thinking of Lu Boshe's death back then, Cao Cao still had lingering fears, It should be done by someone who has made enemies in Luoyang. He wants to continue the Lu Mansion's big banquet and use the bandits to raid Lu Mansion as an excuse to massacre the guests as a cover to deal with him. There is no more Cao Mengde.Thinking of this, Cao Cao took Lu Rui's hand and went to an inn to stay.

At night, Lu Rui was sleeping next to Cao Cao, when suddenly the door of the inn moved, and a man in black came in. After seeing Cao Cao, the man in black knelt down and said, "See my lord." This man is Cao Cao. The personnel of Cao's intelligence agency, known as Hei Ying, Cao Cao looked at Hei Ying and said, "Hei Ying, how is the situation in Luoyang?"

Hei Ying looked at Lu Rui on the bed, and Cao Cao said, "Tell me, there is only one child here, what can't you say?" Alright, when we arrive at the General’s Mansion, the General will take care of the lord, the Grand Master is going to resign and return to his hometown, this is his last effort for the lord.” Cao Song is still an official Taiwei now, although he has no military power but powerful Still very powerful, he already felt that the Great Han Building was about to collapse, so he decided to resign and return to his hometown, waiting for the opportunity.

At this time, Lu Rui kicked the quilt. It turned out that Lu Rui was awake. In addition to doing some dandy things for the children of the aristocratic family in the Cao Mansion since childhood, Lu Rui also learned some kung fu with Cao Chun and laid some foundations. Cao Cao saw Lu Rui Kicking off the quilt, he quickly touched Lu Rui, then pulled the quilt, helped Lu Rui cover it, then looked at the black shadow and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Heiying was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Rui and said, "My lord, there is a clue to the matter of chasing and killing you in the Lu Mansion. It should be the work of Eunuch Zhang in the palace." Cao Cao immediately motioned for Heiying to close the door. mouth, and then tested Lu Rui. Seeing that Lu Rui was still asleep, he was relieved, and then asked: "Have you checked it out?"

Heiying cupped his hands and said: "I found out, those people have been following the Lord. Originally, the Lord went to Dongjun. If they arrived in Dongjun, they would not attack, but the Lord went to Lu Mansion temporarily, so they moved." Killing intent." Zhang Rang?How could this old man think of killing himself? He didn't seem to have any deep hatred with himself?I offended a lot of nobles in Luoyang, but I didn't offend Zhang Rang. The person who had the deepest hatred should be Jian Shuo. His uncle was killed by him. Why?Why kill yourself?Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Lu Rui was lying on the bed at this time, and heard the black shadow's report.For Lu Boshe's family, Lu Rui's feelings are complicated. Although he only stayed in Lu Mansion for three months, it was always Lu Boshe's family who gave him his life so that he could come to the era of the Three Kingdoms.Although I don't have any family affection or even affection for Lu Boshe, Lu Rui still feels that there is an inseparable emotion, especially what Lu Boshe said when he entrusted himself to Cao Cao, which reflects the love of a loving father to his son. Caring, if Lu Boshe didn't protect Cao Cao, he would not be Cao Cao's adopted son, and Cao Cao might not care so much about him. Just for this, Lu Rui made up his mind to avenge Lu Boshe's family .

After hearing Soi Ying's report, Lu Rui was also full of doubts. Zhang Rang wants to kill Cao Cao?Why, Cao Cao was considered as a young eunuch after the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was the young representative of the Eastern Han eunuch group. Because of Cao Cao's identity, he was still despised by the Eastern Han family. Zhang Rang, as the head of the eunuchs, would actually kill Cao Cao. It is suspicious The place is suspicious, could it be that he borrowed a knife to kill someone?

Cao Cao is also puzzled at this time, if other people are dissatisfied with him and kill him, he will still understand, but Zhang Rang is really impossible. Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at the black shadow and said: " I understand, you step back." The black shadow cupped his hands and stepped back.Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui, touched his forehead, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The next day, Cao Cao took Lu Rui to the market at Hulao Pass. Although Hulao Pass is a pass, because it is an important town close to Luoyang, there are many novel things compared to Qiao County. But these are not attractive to Lu Rui who has traveled through time, because there are many more toys in modern times than in this era. Originally, Lu Rui wanted to make up for his childhood and play with more things, but in this era, there is really nothing. Fun.

Lu Rui and Cao Cao walked on the street, looked at the lively market, and ate while walking. Although the toys at Hulaoguan did not attract Lu Rui, the food did.Now Luoyang is still very prosperous. There are merchants from all over the world, so the food is still very attractive. There are delicacies from all over the country and even all over the world, such as roast lamb, roast pork, sliced ​​sauce dog meat, braised horsewhip, cured meat, etc. Mutton, sauced chicken, sauced belly, stewed lamb, sweet bean curd, carp slices, braised venison, fried caviar, fried quail mixed with orange shreds, stewed soft-shelled turtle, these delicacies make Lu Rui linger, Cao Cao only I can follow Lu Rui and pay for it.

After a morning of walking around the streets, Lu Rui and Cao Cao came to a teahouse, sat down, and prepared to take a break and drink tea. Cao Cao had just ordered a pot of good tea when he suddenly heard a group of people downstairs He shouted, "Here comes the living genius doctor, here comes the living genius doctor, here comes the living genius doctor." Then he saw a group of people, surrounded by an old man, walking up slowly. He must be over half a hundred years old, but judging from his appearance, this person is definitely only in his prime. Cao Cao was also taken aback when he saw this person, and it was the first time he had seen such an old man after traveling all over the world for many years.

Lu Rui looked the old man up and down, and then saw the disciple beside him, Lu Rui's heart skipped a beat, could this be Hua Tuo? Thinking of this, Lu Rui pulled Cao Cao's clothes and asked, "Father Zhong, who is that man?" ?" Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't know, how could Lu Rui ask this question?Cao Cao had no choice but to call a clerk to ask, Cao Cao asked: "Xiao Er, do you know who that old man is?"

The clerk looked at Cao Cao, he seemed to be a nobleman, then he flicked his handcloth back and said, "This guest officer, that old gentleman's name is Hua Tuo, he is a genius doctor and a great benefactor of our Hulaoguan. Well, there was a plague in a small village outside the pass, the gods are really gods, you don’t know how many people died in the plague in our village, thanks to this old genius doctor.” After hearing this, Cao Cao ordered Nodded and said: "Okay, got it, you go down." The buddy threw the sweat towel and retreated.

Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui, then smiled and said, "I see, Rui'er, an old genius doctor who cured a plague in a village, you have no problem." For Lu Rui's weird questions, Cao Cao sometimes I am really overwhelmed, for example, why do some people urinate, how do you answer this question?This is still a small question. Once, Lu Rui came to ask Cao Cao, with an innocent face, why does this kid ask everything? How does this old Cao answer?The Cao brothers and Xiahou brothers covered their mouths and laughed, Cao Cao really wanted to find a crack in the ground and slip in.If Cao Cao knew that Lu Rui was asking questions knowingly, he would probably blow his ass out. Lu Rui also relied on this weird habit to make everyone in the Cao family like him, and his status in the Cao family was rising steadily. Even Cao Cao Sometimes you have to follow Lu Rui's mood.

Lu Rui nodded, then lowered his head and ate the sesame seed cakes, but a thought came to his mind, Hua Tuo, a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms era, was later killed because of Cao Cao, Hua Tuo, a historical legend in the Chinese medical field, Lu Rui didn't want him to die. If he didn't die, maybe a lot of history would change. If he wanted to assist Cao Cao, it would be much more convenient. Thinking of this, Lu Rui decided to fool Hua Tuo.

While Lu Rui was thinking about Hua Tuo, an old man came up, and many people gave way to him. He was probably a prestigious old man. A strong man said, "Old village chief." Then he moved in. He gave a stool to the old man. It seems that this is the head of the village where Hua Tuo cured the plague.The village chief looked at Hua Tuo, grabbed Hua Tuo's hand and said, "Thank you, Doctor Hua, thank you for saving the people in the village. You are an old genius doctor. I have something to ask you for." Hua Tuo knelt down.

When Hua Tuo saw the old man, he was taken aback. He quickly helped the village chief up and said, "Old village chief, if you have anything to do, just say, as long as I can do it, I will help you." He helped the old village head up and sat on the chair again.

The old village chief looked at Hua Tuo and said sadly: "Doctor Hua, you cured the plague in our village. I am very grateful to you, but my son died because of the plague, and I only have one grandson left. There is a plague, so will it take my grandson’s life? In the past few years, there have been many plagues. Please tell me a way to prevent the plague, the old doctor, please tell me, the old doctor said When it was over, I began to cry.In the past 20 years, the plague near Hulao Pass has been relatively frequent. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, another major plague occurred. The old village chief lived his whole life. In the past 20 years, he has experienced several major plagues. Originally prosperous descendants, now there is only one little grandson left. In order to keep this little grandson, he wants to ask Hua Tuo for a way to avoid the plague.

When Hua Tuo heard this, he was stunned. This is really embarrassing himself. He is really incapable of preventing the plague. When a plague occurs, it usually takes several months for Hua Tuo to find the cause, and then prescribe medicine for diagnosis and treatment. Over time, some people with poor physique or serious illnesses, especially children, will die. This is unavoidable. Thinking of this, Hua Tuo shook his head. There is really nothing he can do about it.

Hua Tuo looked at the old village head, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, old man, I can't prevent this. I can only treat the patients who have the plague. I really have no way to prevent the plague. I'm sorry. , old man, I can't help you." The old village chief looked at Hua Tuo disappointedly, he just hoped to get an answer from Hua Tuo, and he knew that it was basically hopeless, because he lived his whole life without any help. Hearing that there is a way to prevent the plague, I thought Hua Tuo had it, but unfortunately Hua Tuo let him down.

Wu Pu, Hua Tuo's disciple, saw Master's embarrassment, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Old village chief, Master really doesn't know how to prevent the plague. If he knew, it would be a blessing for me. We will follow Master for ten days. For many years, I have traveled and practiced medicine in various parts of the Han Dynasty, trying to find a way to prevent the plague, but unfortunately, our master and apprentice have not yet found a way to prevent the plague.”

Lu Rui watched the conversation between the three, and smiled in his heart, how to prevent the plague?Chickenpox, the simplest plague, a method of vaccination only appeared in modern times. If you can prevent the plague, unless you are a doctor from time travel, hehe, vaccination?It seems that Hua Tuo can be fooled.

While Hua Tuo was chatting with the old village head and the villagers, a voice suddenly came over, "Can't even prevent the plague, is he still a miracle doctor? It seems that he is also a deceitful person." Everyone was shocked when he said this Now, the piece of meat that Cao Cao brought into his mouth stopped by his mouth. At this time, Hua Tuo and the others all looked over, Cao Cao realized that it was Lu Rui who said it, and cursed in his heart: Oh, my little one! Ancestor, what are you doing? This is also your business?

Wu Pu saw that it was Lu Rui, just a three-year-old child, and then scolded: "Little child, what do you know? My master is Hua Tuo, a famous doctor of the Han Dynasty. How could you, a child, be able to slander you? Preventing plague? This is the work of gods. Dao." Seeing Wu Pu yelling at Lu Rui, Cao Cao's personal guard immediately stood up and showed his sword.

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, little ancestor, what are you doing, wanting to fight?That's not the way to be a dandy. Although Cao Cao did a lot of ridiculous things when he was young, he rarely took the initiative to find trouble. Lu Rui's words were indeed provocative.Even if it is a dude like Cao Cao, he has no choice but to look for trouble for Lu Rui, so he can only turn his head aside. Anyway, he is a child, and this group of people dare not do anything. At that time, he will rush out and go to the county government to reveal his identity , it’s settled, I didn’t do this kind of thing less before, and this time I also took Lu Rui to learn, and I have to be reasonable to be a dandy, it seems that I have to educate Lu Rui well later, this is Hulao Pass, It doesn't matter, but in Luoyang, if Lu Rui does this, it will be bloody!Thinking of this, Cao Cao regretted bringing Lu Rui out, Little Demon King, he will really find trouble for me.

Hua Tuo and the others were stunned when they saw Cao Cao's personal guards. It seemed that they belonged to a rich family, and they should be from aristocratic families, otherwise they would not be protected by these guards. Thinking of this, Hua Tuo stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: " My little friend, you are right, there is no way to prevent the plague, you really can’t be considered a good doctor, little friend is right, Hua Tuo really dare not take the name of a miracle doctor." Hua Tuo knew that Lu Rui's status was extraordinary, The so-called people don't fight with officials, if Lu Rui starts fighting, he will definitely suffer the loss.

Wu Pu was furious when he saw Hua Tuo's appearance, and then said to Lu Rui, "Boy Huangkou, my master doesn't know how to prevent plagues, don't you? Hmph, ignorant boy." When Hua Tuo heard this, he immediately He glared at Wu Pu, this kid really doesn't know what to do, what do you care about with a child.Thinking of this, Hua Tuo wanted to apologize to Lu Rui.

Lu Rui smiled and said: "I am a child, but I am a child with a yellow mouth. I have a lot of experience in preventing plagues. Old man Hua Tuo, if you follow me, you will definitely benefit a lot. How about it? Come back with me." Become a famous doctor in the family."

When Hua Tuo heard this, he was taken aback for a moment. Could it be that this child, seeing his superb medical skills, wanted to recruit him to be a doctor in the mansion?When Wu Pu heard this, he laughed and said, "You kid, you are talking nonsense. You know how to prevent the plague? What a joke."

Lu Rui looked at Hua Tuo and said, "Old man Hua Tuo, have you ever heard of diseases coming from the mouth? When the plague breaks out, is it not easy for rich families to be infected with the plague? Why are the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the plague area Not dead? Humans are the leader of the larks, why is the mere snake and mouse not dead, but the leader of the larks is dead?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and Lu Rui asked some troublesome questions again. After hearing this, everyone in Hua Tuo was stunned, fell into deep thought, thought for a while, as if Lu Rui said It must be reasonable, I can't seem to find any reason to refute Lu Rui, Wu Pu yelled from the side: "You little boy, what are you talking about here?"

Before Wu Pu finished speaking, he was stopped by Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo is not an idiot. What Lu Rui said makes sense. I don't know why people from wealthy families are not easily infected by the plague. , and the words behind Lu Rui aroused Hua Tuo's interest. A child who can say such a thing must not be an easy child!

Hua Tuo cupped his hands and asked, "Little friend, I don't know how you can prevent the plague. Can you tell me? Hua Tuo thank you very much." After speaking, he bowed and expressed his willingness to ask Lu Rui for advice.

Lu Rui didn't answer Hua Tuo's question, and then asked: "Old man Hua Tuo, you promised to come to my mansion and be my son's doctor for the rest of your life, so I'll answer you, what do you think?

Hua Tuo was taken aback when he heard this.Lu Rui said again: "Old man Hua Tuo, I know that you traveled all over the world to save people, but in order to save more people, you should stay at my house. My house can provide you with pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which are paper , not bamboo slips, you can record your medical practice experience and pass it on to your disciples, as long as you stay in my mansion, the rest of your disciples can continue to practice medicine outside, isn’t this the best of both worlds?” After finishing speaking, Lu Rui continued to eat his own Flatbread.

After Hua Tuo listened to Lu Rui's words, he glanced at Lu Rui meaningfully. It should not have come from the mouth of this three-year-old child who could say these words, but he actually saw through his own thoughts. what the men taught?If there is really a way to prevent the plague, you must figure it out yourself.

Thinking of this, Hua Tuo cupped his hands and said: "Little friend, if you can tell why rich and noble people are not easily infected with the plague, I will go into the mansion to follow the young master. I don't know what the young master will think?"

When Lu Rui heard this, he patted the butler next to him and said, "Butler Cao, quickly write down the written document and let old man Hua sign it." All I had to do was take out a pen and paper, and write down a written proof, a written proof that Hua Tuo sold himself to Lu Rui.

Steward Cao handed over the document to Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo looked at the document and said to Lu Rui: "Little friend, you can tell the reason."

Lu Rui smiled and asked: "Old man Hua Tuo, do you know why people get sick?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Tuo said, "There are different pathologies in the world, but if a person is infected with a disease, there must be evil spirits invading the body. If one wants to be cured, one must find something that can restrain the evil spirits in the body, and then he can be cured."

Lu Rui listened to Hua Tuo's words, the ancients are the ancients, and the oriental medical theory is to enter the body with evil spirits, find something to restrain them, and then take treatment to drive away the evil spirits. This is the basic principle of Chinese medicine.Lu Rui smiled and said: "I only know how to get rid of evil spirits but don't know how to prevent evil spirits from entering the body. Let me tell you that the reason why rich and noble people are not easy to get sick is because their practical things, including drinking water, are easy to use. Cooking with fire, fire is the aura of exorcising evil, of course it can prevent plague, what a stupid old man." After speaking, Lu Rui took a sip of tea and looked at Hua Tuo, old man, are you still fooled by me?

When everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought, thinking about Lu Rui's words. At this time, Hua Tuo's heart was turbulent and ups and downs. To restrain the plague from the source, Hua Tuo had never thought about it. The impact has been great.Moreover, what Lu Rui said seems to make sense. This phenomenon is around me, but I have been practicing medicine for many years but I haven't noticed it, or even said I haven't noticed it. But when Lu Rui said it, he seemed to suddenly realize it.

Lu Rui looked at the crowd, then asked Hua Tuo, saying: "Old man, I have already told you, you sign the contract."

Wu Pu shouted from the side: "What kind of method is this? What a joke."

Hua Tuo interrupted Wu Pu, and then said: "Okay, young master, I will be a doctor in the son's house from now on, I hope you will keep your promise."

Lu Rui glanced at Hua Tuo, hooked?It seems that Hua Tuo wants to find a way to prevent the plague from Lu Rui. The plague seems to be an insurmountable gap for Hua Tuo. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Hua Tuo will not give up. Lu Rui nodded and said: " Hua Tuo, I'll give you a few days to deal with your disciple's affairs, and after three days, come and find me at the biggest inn in the city."

In this way, Hua Tuo, the genius doctor of the Three Kingdoms, was fooled by Lu Rui. Hua Tuo was originally from Xuzhou, and he was from a wealthy family. The older one, Lu Rui tricked him into Cao's Mansion with some modern knowledge and understanding of Hua Tuo. No, it's not Cao's Mansion, it's Lu's Mansion. Lu Rui will leave Cao's house when he grows up. .
