Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 121 The Nunnery

Soon, the group arrived at Wanfo Cave, a bamboo forest, green and clear, Su Tong looked through the car window, and felt that this place was very suitable for literati and refined scholars. The beauties come here for spring outings, reciting poems and painting.

It's a pity that such beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery have turned out to be a place where dirt and dirt are hidden.

However, this place is hidden, and it is quite appropriate to hide some villains. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to attract people's suspicion. After walking for a long time, I arrived outside the nunnery that the kidnapper said.

It is said to be a nunnery, but it is actually built like an ordinary courtyard, with red walls and green tiles, old doors, and it seems that there are a few dogs, and the barking of dogs can be heard faintly.

The group of people stopped, and there was a little hesitation there. Someone grabbed the kidnapper and asked: "You said, there are only five of you in total, but is it true?"

The kidnapper was obviously frightened, and he lowered his head honestly and replied: "It's exactly five. Except for a nun named Zhirou who was originally the owner of the nunnery, there are ten other women who were kidnapped. It won’t be sold for a while.”

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, thinking that there were quite a few people with them, and they were all powerful masters. If there were only five, even if they were thugs with weapons in their hands, they would still be able to reach them. It's not that it can't be taken down, but if it hurts the hostages, or if people run away without paying attention, then it's not considered a complete retreat, and it's not beautiful. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help saying: "Why don't we surround this place firmly?" , and then send someone to the yamen to notify the officials?"

Su Tong sighed, and said with a smile: "The gentleman of the Zhou family has already sent someone to the yamen, but the sooner this kind of matter is resolved, the better. It is not good to delay for too long."

If they didn't want to rescue people as soon as possible, why did they rush in the rain?This mountain road is not easy to walk.

After all, Lizheng was a responsible person, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Forget it, we have a lot of people, just be careful, and don't be afraid of them playing tricks. Wait here, little lady, and we will go now."

"Wait a minute." Su Tong smiled, looked around, and said softly, "Although I'm not afraid of them, it's not good to rush in like this. Why don't I take a few servants there first, and say that I'm passing by this place, just in time It's raining, and I want to borrow a place to drink a glass of water, firstly, so that I can find out what's going on inside, and secondly, it will make them less defensive."

When she said this, Azhen and the female envoys were naturally unwilling, and Zhengzheng was not willing to take responsibility there. Su Tong just smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will take the servants with me. My servants People with good skills, they have done it in the imperial army before, and they can be as good as ten, and they don't look at the mere gangsters."

There was a moment of surprise, not only him, but even the servants of the Zhou family and a group of villagers showed a bit of surprise and awe on their faces. Looking at the servants around Su Tong, although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were full of aura and gestures. He really looked like he was born in the army, and his heart skipped a beat—it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to use servants from the Imperial Army these days.

Xiaoying, who was accompanied by the Zhou family, blinked and felt relieved. Fortunately, their family did not neglect. This Su family is really unusual, so I thought about going back and talking to my master. I am afraid that it would be better to be more respectful. The status of the Su family is probably more expensive than they imagined.

She didn't know, in fact, the reason why there were people from the imperial army under Su Tong's command was that the eldest princess was worried about her safety, and the imperial army injured her hands and feet. Although there was no serious problem, it was not easy to earn a living in the army There are quite a few people here, so she did a favor and sent them to the Su family, which made both parties very satisfied.

Su Wencheng can be regarded as a person who is valued by the government now. In the future, he will be appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister, and there are countless people who want to find a way to join him.

Lizheng finally compromised and agreed to let Su Tong go in to test things out. If there was any movement, they would immediately call in to support. After the two parties discussed it, Su Tong asked Lizheng to lead someone to pretend that Su Tong hired a cart from the local area. When someone asked about it, they only said that the carriage got stuck in the mud in the front, and they helped to push it. Later, seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, they were afraid that the carriage would get stuck in the back, so they simply sent it another way, sending the Buddha to the west.

After explaining clearly, Su Tong took the carriage and led the people directly to the front of the nunnery.

Azhen and Xiaoying, the female envoys, couldn't help but tremble a little. Seeing that her little lady was calm and composed, Azhen didn't seem to be worried at all, and she couldn't help but admire her master for being tolerant and not panicking when things happened.

But Xiaoying became more and more convinced that Su Tong might not be an ordinary person, an ordinary person, or a woman. When encountering such a thing, how could she be as commanding as this little lady is now.

When he got to the door, Su Tong didn't get out of the car, but let Ah Zhen and a boy from the Su family hold umbrellas to call the door.

The two of them passed by and banged on the door for a long time before it opened. A nun who came out was about 20 years old. Yes, the nun hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "It's not that Benny doesn't want to do it, it's just that there are sick people in the nunnery now, and it is said that they have tuberculosis, and they want to pass it on to others. It's really hard to entertain distinguished guests."

With that said, the nun was about to close the door.

Ah Zhen was startled, before she had time to speak, Su Tong had already got out of the car, and said loudly: "Is there a patient? But I invited a doctor, this teacher, I have studied medicine since I was a child, and I can be regarded as proficient in medicine. The master once taught, Physicians are parents, if they encounter a patient, they must help them no matter what, so the teacher opened the door quickly and let me go in, so that I can get treatment as soon as possible, so as not to delay the patient's condition."

With that said, Su Tong got out of the car, still holding the medicine box in his hand, opened the medicine box with one hand, took out two packs of medicine from inside, rummaged through it, and showed joy on his face: "If someone has tuberculosis It’s really fate. I still have some medicines for tuberculosis that I don’t use. Hey, it’s not easy. This medicine is very expensive and rare. If I’m not away from home, my family members are worried about preparing some Bao, I'm afraid the patient will be delayed at this time."

As soon as Su Tong raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, he revealed a kind of gentle temperament that only a lady raised in a boudoir can have, and there was a feeling of compassion in his eyebrows and eyes.

The nun was also a well-informed person, when she saw it, her eyes moved, and she immediately knew that this was a spoiled daughter.

Her vigilance immediately subsided, and she looked at Su Tong's medicine box again, seeing the glazed glass bottle inside, her eyes shone brightly.

Ah Zhen stuffed a string of small gourds made of silver with great discernment, pretending to be not short of money, and said with a smile: "Master, our little lady is the most kind-hearted. We’ve been tossing around for a few days, otherwise we wouldn’t have delayed our trip, and if you encounter this heavy rain, it’s convenient for you, don’t make it difficult for us current people.”

The nun thought for a while, looked around, and saw the big and round bodyguard beside Su Tong, her eyes flickered, and she muttered in her heart.

However, seeing that their clothes and accents are indeed from other places, and most of them are in official language, she feels relieved a lot, and seeing the obvious signs of impatience in the eyes of these guards, she is afraid that they will make trouble , alarmed others, or another accident occurred, although the young lady of the Su family could tell at a glance that she could not be a female doctor, but with the fragrance of medicine all over her body, she might really be a daughter who can't eat the sufferings of the world and is proficient in medical skills.

After thinking about it, the nun finally nodded and agreed, just asking them not to run around casually.

"The poor nun is so soft, please invite the young lady to come in with the poor nun. There are female relatives in the nunnery, and your subordinates will temporarily go to the side room to rest."

Su Tong nodded, winked, and led Azhen and Xiaoying into the house with the nun, but the layout of the room was not like a nunnery, it was very luxurious.

The Duobao Pavilion leaning against the wall is full of antiques and curios, the bedding on the bed is brand new, and the cup on the table is actually a gold cup.

It's just that such splendor is really tacky.

Su Tong looked around, and saw that there was still a room inside with straw curtains, full of people, and occasionally could hear slight footsteps and panting.

Zhi Judao: "There are a few of my disciples who are not up to date, all of them are shy and shy, and refuse to meet guests. Don't worry about it, young lady. Please sit down for a while. The poor nun will prepare some refreshments."

Su Tong hurriedly said: "Don't dare to work on the teacher, may I ask where is the patient? How about letting the slave go and have a look first?"

Zhi Rou smiled: "Little lady, don't worry, rest first, rest, the patient is resting right now, wait for her to wake up, and then ask the little lady to rejuvenate."

After finishing speaking, Zhirou didn't wait for Su Tong to speak again, but pushed the door open and walked out.

Ah Zhen was anxious, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, this is a den of thieves, if there are bad guys hiding in the house, then what to do.

Su Tong was sitting and fiddling with the medicine box in a serious manner. She knew in her heart that since she had brought a group of servants here, and they were not easy to mess with, these people would definitely do one thing more than one thing less, and it was impossible to do something to her easily. Of course, it is inevitable to observe first.

Sure enough, within a short while, the nun said that the patient had woken up and asked Su Tong to take a look. As a result, Su Tong followed to the next room, and there was indeed a woman about 20 years old lying on the bed. The woman was wearing navy blue Clothes, a ponytail on her hair, a silver hairpin inserted, her complexion is fair, she looks like a pampered lady, but her face is full of panic, her eyes are red, and she looks at the nun with eyes full of resentment.

Su Tong was startled, went up to check the pulse, after a while, frowned slightly and said: "This lady has caught a cold, she is not well, I'm afraid it may be dangerous to delay, but it's not tuberculosis, please don't worry, Mrs. I have the medicine with me, so I don’t need to go to the county to get it, I just boil a packet of medicine powder for her to drink, and she will be fine in two days.”

The nun breathed a sigh of relief, said Amitabha, and waved her hand quickly. A little nun in Tsing Yi came in from outside the door and took the medicine powder in Su Tong's hand to grab the medicine. Holding the patient's hand, he did not let go for a moment.
