Song Yi

Chapter 2 Wuweitang Pharmacy

Northern Song Dynasty, the autumn moon in the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Dongda County, at dusk.

Du Wenhao was dressed in a moon-white coarse cloth robe, sitting alone on a stone by the side of the main street in the city.

It has been a whole day since he traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty, tired, thirsty, and hungry.

When he just crossed over, he found out that he had inexplicably traveled to the Northern Song Dynasty 1000 years ago. He shouted excitedly, wandered around with his big eyes wide open, just like a fisherman in a paradise.

He had to stare at everything for a long time in novelty, causing others to think he was a lunatic, and seeing him wearing strange clothes made him even more frightened, and hid far away, only a few brave children followed him, Twitter and watch the fun.

However, his excitement didn't last long and disappeared.He was exhausted after a long day of wandering.Now, he just wants to eat a big bowl of shredded pork noodles and drink a big glass of warm water.

However, he has nothing.

When time travels over, he only has a new suit and a pair of leather shoes on his feet.He usually does not wear a watch, but uses his mobile phone to check the time, and the mobile phone is in the bag, and the bag was dropped on the sidewalk when he was running away, so he came to the Northern Song Dynasty empty-handed.

He found that others looked him up and down very strangely, pointing and murmuring, and only then did he realize that he was really weird compared to the people around him.

Men in ancient times had long hair, and their own hair was too short, and wearing a suit was a potential danger, if not done well, it would cause trouble for themselves, and be taken into the yamen by people as monsters or spies from foreign countries.

He quickly slipped into a clothing store, thinking of exchanging this suit for a pair of moon-white coarse cloth gowns worn by the people of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, the shopkeeper of the clothing store didn't appreciate the style of his suit, because the fabric of his suit was very novel, so he reluctantly agreed to exchange it with a set of the cheapest coarse cloth long gown, but he refused to give him the money, otherwise he would not change it.

Du Wenhao didn't care too much about the money, he thought that with his modern wisdom, he would definitely be able to eat well and drink spicy food in ancient times.

The clothes I got in exchange included a hat. I put the hat on my head to cover my hair. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t see that the hair is short. I changed my clothes and went shopping.

After visiting the whole city, he began to look for a job excitedly, ready to make his first pot of gold.

However, for a whole day, I couldn't find a suitable job.

Because he discovered at this time that he can't make guns, glass, perfume, hybrid rice, generators, cars, watches, or even the simplest bicycle.He doesn't know anything that can make a lot of money in ancient times in modern society.

Although he studied Chinese medicine in elementary school and memorized a lot of medical books, his university major was forensic medicine, and it might be possible to solve cases, so he wanted to find an opportunity to show his ability in solving cases, so as to gain the appreciation of officials, and since then he has been brilliant.

But after wandering around for a long time, I found out that the folk customs of this Northern Song Dynasty are simple and simple. Although it is still not closed at night and does not pick up things, it is rare to see police officers and soldiers patrolling bravely on the street. He didn't even see anyone quarreling and cursing, let alone any murder case that he solved.

He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and decided to go to the Yamen to recommend himself.

But when he came to the county yamen, he saw the policemen with knives stalking at the gate. Finally, based on his poor historical knowledge, he realized that the household registration system in ancient times was very strict. .

And he has no household registration and belongs to the blind stream. If he approached people so strangely and asked if they would let him help solve the case, he might be suspected, and he might become their target to solve the case instead.

He had no choice but to wander back and forth on the streets looking for business opportunities, but the Northern Song Dynasty was only a small-scale peasant economy, and there were not many decent big shops, let alone so many state agencies or large companies in modern society.

Although there are shops posting notices to recruit buddies, if he, a majestic college student in modern society, becomes a buddy in a shop after traveling to ancient times, wouldn't he be ashamed of the sacred title of time traveler?

When passing by several pharmacies, he thought of becoming a doctor in the past.

In ancient times, being a doctor did not require the approval of a medical institution, and there was no requirement for medical qualifications.

However, in ancient times, it was even more difficult to be a decent doctor than in modern society, because although you don’t need medical qualifications, you need the approval of the common people. Only when others recognize your medical skills will they come to see you.

If no patients come to see you, even if you think you are a genius doctor, it is useless, and the pharmacy will not ask you to be a doctor (doctor).

Although Du Wenhao has learned the true biography of his uncle, an old Chinese doctor, and has studied basic medicine and clinical medicine in the medical system, and has also been a guest doctor in his uncle's pharmacy during the winter and summer vacations, all prescriptions are checked by his uncle. .

At that time, with the support of his uncle, it didn't matter if he made mistakes, and he felt at ease, but now in ancient times, he had no idea if he wanted to practice medicine independently.

So I walked around several pharmacies in the county town, but I still didn't have the guts to go in, so I recommended myself as a sitting doctor.

Continue to wander until the sun sets, the shops have begun to close, but I still haven't found a suitable job, and there is no place to stay.

In the end, his feet were cramped, he hadn't eaten all day, his stomach was growling with hunger, he was dizzy, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he sat on the stone by the roadside and watched the pedestrians coming and going on the street blankly. .

Going on like this is not the way to go. You can’t use modern thinking to consider ancient problems. In ancient society almost 1000 years ago, you couldn’t find a decent white-collar job like modern society, unless you were an official.

To be an official must pass the imperial examination. If you don't know what the Four Books and Five Classics are, you don't have to think about it.

It seems that if you want to survive in the ancient society, you can only honestly start as a shop assistant and earn a living first.

Where are you going to be a buddy?
After thinking about it, I decided to find something as close to my profession as possible, such as a Chinese medicine shop.

He first tried to recall the classics of traditional Chinese medicine he had recited since he was a child.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, full of surprises.

Because, he found that not only the classics of traditional Chinese medicine that he had recited by heart were familiar to him, but also those Chinese medicine books, scriptures, prescriptions, medical records, etc. Medical knowledge, including surgical skills, medical miscellaneous diseases, etc., as long as I have read it before time travel, all the knowledge related to medicine is clear and memorized, even the punctuation marks are clear.

How is this going?

He quickly understood, obviously, this was due to time travel.

Time travel has greatly strengthened all the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in his brain.

For ordinary people, it is impossible to memorize the whole book after reading it once. It is a dream to have a photographic memory, but now, for Du Wenhao, he has memorized all the medical books he has read before.

What excites him in particular is that he clearly remembers all the syndrome differentiation and treatment in TCM, as well as the formula, dosage, and even the processing of TCM.

Of course, western medicine is no exception, but now there is no medicine and equipment in western medicine, and it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice, and it is not very useful to remember. On the contrary, Chinese medicine, in this era, is a must-have for home travel, suitable for all ages, and suitable for all ages Artifact.

Before that, he was worried that his knowledge of Chinese medicine was not enough to practice medicine, but now he discovered that he already had extensive and profound knowledge of Chinese medicine, because he memorized all the medical books he had read.

Just one time travel made him the most powerful Chinese medicine practitioner in all ages, bar none.In the entire Song Dynasty, who else could be stronger than him?
Immediately, his confidence increased greatly.

However, after recovering from the excitement, he discovered another problem: Chinese medicine is empirical medicine, so old Chinese medicine is more popular, and young Chinese medicine is not very popular. Therefore, although his medical skills have become the strongest in an instant because of time travel, But no one knew about it, and no one believed it, so no one would seek medical treatment from him.

Therefore, let's let the miracle doctor's dream cool down first, and start working as a waiter in the Chinese medicine shop.

He had seen the notice of recruiting staff in the Chinese medicine shop.

He recalled the shops he saw during the day with notices of recruiting assistants. It seemed that one of them was a Chinese medicine shop. At that time, he dismissed being an assistant, so he didn't care.Now I forgot where the traditional Chinese medicine shop was.

Time travel only allows him to remember all the medical books he read in his previous life, but it does not mean that his memory ability is superior now, and his memory is still the same as that of ordinary people. Look slowly. .

This county is relatively big, so he went around, and when it was getting dark, he finally found the pharmacy with the notice.

This pharmacy is not big, with three bays and four doors. Above the store door is a plaque with black background and gold letters. It’s getting dark and you can’t see it clearly. When you go up to look up, you find that it is written in four big characters in official script: "Wuweitang" ".

Looking at the pillars on both sides of the store door, there are two vertical plaques hanging. The right hand is "Wan San Gao Dan", and the left hand is "Decoction Pieces". A red lantern, it's almost dark but not yet lit.

The front shop is fairly large, with a wooden floor. Right above the shop, there is a horizontal plaque hanging on it, which is also in gilt official script, which is already quite old, and it says "helping the world and nourishing health".

In front of the store was a long row of tall medicine cabinets. Behind the medicine cabinets were two clerks, leaning listlessly on the medicine cabinets and taking a nap.

Behind a long table on one side of the shop, an old man with a gray beard was sitting, holding a book in the dark room and looking at it intently. He seemed to be the doctor in charge of the pharmacy.

Du Wenhao looked at the door for a long time, until it was completely dark, and the room began to turn on the lights, and the dim orange light filled the room. When the sitting doctor got up to pack his things and prepared to leave, he finally mustered up his courage.

But just as he was pulling up his robe and going in to apply for the job, he suddenly heard the noise from the other side of the street, and then many people rushed over, at first he was a strong man, and rushed straight to the door of "Wuweitang", raised his hand and pointed to the table that was being cleaned. The gray-haired doctor with pen and ink was sitting in the hall, yelling aggressively: "Damn, quack doctor surnamed Chai, pay for my brother's life!"

The burly man rushed forward, grabbed the old man by the collar across the table, and was about to hit him with his fists.

Hearing the noise in the front hall, a young woman turned out from the back hall. She was wearing a long skirt and had a graceful figure, but her eyes were as sharp as cold lightning. It was Lin Qingdai, the female shopkeeper of "Wuweitang".

When she went out to the front hall, seeing this scene, she shouted sharply: "Stop!" She rushed up and grabbed the strong man's wrist, "What are you going to do? Speak up if you have something to say!"

"Shopkeeper Lin, I'm finding this quack doctor to settle accounts, and it has nothing to do with you! Get out of the way!"

The strong man shook his hands to break free, but he couldn't shake Lin Qingdai's control, knowing that the other party's hands were unambiguous, and he didn't dare to act recklessly, so he stiffened his neck and shouted: "Master Lin, what are you going to do?" What?"

"I was going to ask what are you going to do?"

"This quack doctor cured my brother to death, I want to kill him!"

Lin Qingdai shook the strong man back a few steps, and said in a cold voice, "Doctor Chai is my doctor invited by Wuweitang. For my sake, please speak slowly and don't be rough!"

The gray-bearded doctor had turned pale with fright, and stood there with his hands up to cover his face, trembling.

At this time, a few men behind the strong man carried a dead body into the store with the door panel and put it on the ground. The strong man said sadly: "I... my brother has a fever and dampness disease. I went to this quack doctor for treatment. He was fine in the morning. Well, I took the medicine prescribed by this quack doctor at noon, and in the afternoon, it will not work. I sent it to "Jishitang". Dr. Yan, the apprentice of Qian Shenyi, looked at it, and shook his head, saying that the poison had entered the lungs and could not be cured. He only used ginseng to hang his life. , hoping to hear the last words, but I can't, after the evening, I finally died, woo woo woo..."

Many of the men, women, and children who followed followed suit and began to cry.

Lin Qingdai frowned, walked over and squatted down, stretched out two fingers to probe her nose, she was out of breath, felt her pulse again, rolled her eyelids, saw that this person was indeed dead, her heart sank.

Du Wenhao was among the onlookers, and he also took the opportunity to observe the corpse carefully.

Maybe the man just faked his death.

If that's the case, if you take the initiative to treat him, turn the tide, bring the dead back to life, and help the building collapse immediately, then you will surely surprise everyone with your skills, become popular in an instant, and become a famous doctor in the world.

Haha, cool!

He imagined all kinds of success and joy in his heart, but after a closer look, all the possibilities in his brain soon disappeared.

Because, when Lin Qingdai inspected the deceased, he found that the corpse had become rigor, the arms could no longer be bent, and there were plaques on the lower part of the deceased.

Forensic expertise let him know that this is already a dead body, a dead body that cannot be brought back to life.

Lin Qingdai shook her head, stood up and said, "Brother Ling passed away, it is indeed a pity, but whether Brother Ling died of illness, or Dr. Chai made a mistake in prescribing the medicine, we have to find out."

"Check it out? What else do you want to check if it's clear? 'Ji Shitang' doesn't charge money. Doctor Yan, the great apprentice of the genius doctor, has said that it's a mistake in prescribing the prescription. Third, tell me what Doctor Yan said. They listen!"

A frail scholar came out from the crowd behind him, and said with tears, "Doctor Yan said, my eldest brother suffers from a disease of temperature and dampness. Or add or subtract prescriptions such as Cangzhu Baihu Decoction to ensure stability. Although the curative effect is slow, there will be no mistakes. Do not use strong medicines to attack and rush forward. This quack doctor uses tiger and wolf medicine indiscriminately, using Dachengqi Decoction and Huanglian Jiedu Decoction to force Purging and dispelling dampness, my eldest brother is already high fever and stunned, how can he endure this kind of tiger wolf medicine, pity him, he was so good, he was cured to death by this quack doctor!"

The big man roared like a tiger, and wanted to go up to grab Dr. Chai again.

Lin Qingdai swayed to stop her, and said, "Come on slowly! What the apprentice of Master Qian doctor in Jishitang said, must it be true?"

"Is there any miracle doctor in Dongda County who is more powerful than Miracle Doctor Qian? If his disciples don't count, then who can have the final say?"
