Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 122 Woman
Su Tong smiled and didn't mind, he sat on the bed casually, reached out to hold the female patient's hand, and patted the back of her hand lightly, "Don't worry, take the medicine later, sweat, it's natural It will get better."

The female patient was lying on the bed half dead, her face as gray as iron. After a while, her body suddenly trembled and she stared at Su Tong with wide eyes. Said: "The wind is strong enough, even the room is very cold."

The nun narrowed her eyes and didn't say much. After a while, the medicine was boiled and served. The female patient drank the medicine, and she sweated a little, and her body temperature dropped. Su Tong asked the kitchen to boil water , wiped the patient's body, busily busy, very warm-hearted.

After such a tossing, Zhirou also believed in her heart that the little lady in front of her knew medical skills, and seeing her worried face was a bit funny, just like this kind of woman who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, she would show mercy casually, and she felt very sorry for her Out of contempt, she secretly thought it was a pity, if it wasn't for the fact that the guards brought by this person were not easy to mess with, as for her delicate appearance, it is really rare to see her in a hundred years, if she can turn her back, she might be sold for a high price.

But Zhirou is obviously successful, she has a family and a business in the local area, unlike those desperadoes who refuse to take risks at all, just sit by the side and talk with Su Tong, hoping that the rain will stop soon and send away the pile It's a big trouble, get rid of all the remaining women as soon as possible, and exchange them for silver to be safe.

After staying there for about half an hour, one of Su Tong's servants suddenly came to the door and knocked on the door. Su Tong turned a blind eye to Zhirou's nervousness and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

The young man replied: "Little lady, the rain is getting lighter. Brother Gangzi also came back from exploring the road just now. Let's hurry. This is a nunnery after all. We are mostly men. It's not easy to stay. There is a village in front of you. Why don't we go?" Take a few more steps, or it will be dark."

The man called Brother Gangzi, surnamed Zhao, is a guard from the Dachang Princess's mansion. He was born as a serious scout. Too straightforward, offending others, and will not take shelter under the eldest princess.

This time when Su Tong left the capital, Princess Dachang lent Zhao Gang to her, but the person was still from the Princess Mansion.

As soon as Su Tong heard what the boy said, he knew that Zhao Gang might have found out the details of the nunnery, and this was to remind them to get out immediately.

Zhirou's heart immediately dropped. Seeing Su Tong's hesitation, she hurriedly said: "It's not that the poor nun is not hospitable. If there are only young ladies and a group of female relatives, it doesn't matter. Nowadays, most of your subordinates are men. For the sake of the poor nun's reputation, Poor nun, I'm afraid it's really not good for your subordinates to stay longer, especially if you can't stay overnight."

Su Tong couldn't help but smile - what reputation is there for a den of thieves?

Even so, they were good-hearted, and the group immediately packed up and got up and left. Before leaving, Su Tong took the hand of the female patient on the bed again, and said softly: "Don't worry, your illness will last until night at most. Can be good."

The female patient was very agitated, sobbing and holding on to Su Tong's sleeve, and it was Su Tong's ingenious effort to break free.

The rain was really light. Although it was still falling, the road was not easy to walk. Master Zhirou sent Su Tong and his party out all the way. Seeing them driving away in the carriage, they closed the door and went back to the house.

Su Tong didn't say much when he got into the carriage, he just gave his men a wink, then leaned on the carriage, took out the charcoal stove with his maid, put the ceramic pot he had prepared on it, and poured it into the pot again Poured two packs of medicinal powder, poured water into it and started to cook on high heat.

Seeing that Li was leading a group of men from the village rushing forward through the mud, and seeing the servants and guards of the Su family climb over the wall and enter the yard one by one, Ah Zhen closed the car door casually.

Before the pot of medicine was boiled, Su Tong vaguely heard a shout from the nunnery. It was a man's roar, and the voice was full of viciousness and anger.

But there was only one sound, and several men screamed and wailed. There were faint begging sounds, kowtow sounds, and the sound of fists and feet. These messy sounds were accompanied by women's wailing. Crying, crying so loudly that even Su Tong frowned.

Ah Zhen flinched a bit, and said involuntarily: "Little lady, we might as well avoid it, and don't let people bump into it."

Su Tong sighed, and took a square handkerchief to wipe his rain-soaked, slightly damp hair: "Wait, just a few kidnappers, it won't take much effort."

Sure enough, as she said, after about a moment, the gate of the nunnery opened, and Zhao Gang had already led the guards of the Su family out. But with a helpless face, he said with a wry smile: "The villagers are crazy. Those kidnappers were beaten severely. If they don't get treated, they will probably die."

Xiaoying stood at the door of the car, heard the words and said bitterly: "This is Lizheng, if it's just the villagers themselves, it's fine to kill them, they must be cut alive!"

Su Tong doesn't care either, she has long known that the common people today are not as cold and indifferent as the common people in the future, there are really many people who hate evil like enemies, if there is something to say hello on the street, a lot of brave people will appear , not like later generations, no one dares to take care of their throats when they are in trouble.

The kidnappers who couldn’t afford to be beaten had their hands and feet tied up, and those with bleeding heads were naturally not given medicine, but they were also casually wrapped in cloth, and Li Zheng led someone to lift them up and prepare to send them to the county. Ya.

"Ten women have been kidnapped by kidnappers. This is a big case and cannot be concealed. I will send someone to notify the prefecture and county."

Lizheng looked around, the kidnappers were naturally taken away and sent to the county government office, but the women in this room were difficult to deal with for a while.

Su Tong got out of the car and went to see the woman who was locked in the firewood room. She couldn't help being surprised when she saw it. In her impression, kidnappers choose girls from rich families, who are easy to train and can It is easy to sell for a high price, but among the women imprisoned here, none are particularly beautiful, and at most they are pretty.

She roughly glanced around, and saw that the women who were huddled in the corner in fear, the oldest one was 27 or [-] years old, and the youngest was [-] or [-] years old. Jia, her words and deeds are petty, and the one Su Tong treated at that time was considered to be of the highest quality.

Just thinking about it, the female patient Su Tong was familiar with had barely sat up, with tears in her eyes, she took her hand and cried: "If the benefactor hadn't come in time, I'm afraid I would have died long ago... Along the way, The sisters who were kidnapped along with Nu were either sent away or sold out, if it wasn’t for Nu being sick and getting old, I’m afraid it would have been, long ago..."

When she said that, Su Tong immediately understood - this group of kidnappers must have kidnapped girls from big cities, and then resold high-quality ones to places like brothels and houses. It was only brought to such a small place for sale, and the group of women at the moment are probably leftovers from the sale and are worthless.

Li Zheng took a look around, and first asked Xiaoying and a group of female envoys to find a way to help the group of women wash up, let them calm down, and then get them something to eat.

"The county government office should be able to arrange a place for you. Don't worry, just tell us the origin of your names, so that we can send someone to notify your parents and relatives later."

Before Li Zheng finished speaking, the abducted woman burst into tears.Someone among them shouted: "I am from Xiaowangzhuang, my father is Wangda, I want to go home, I want to go home..."

When the group of women cried, Su Tong was relieved. Fortunately, it wasn't a little girl. If it was a little girl, she might not even be able to remember where her home is, and that would be a big trouble.

Su Tong asked Ah Zhen and the others to help, and fed medicinal soup to every woman. Some injured hands and feet were also bandaged with medicine. Xu Shi finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. Even though these women were sobbing, they still calmed down.

There was a moment of silence in the nunnery, Xiaoying saw that everyone had settled down, so she stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Little lady, there is nothing to do here, you might as well go back to Zhou's house first, it's cold here, if you get wind and hurt your body It's terrible."

Su Tong thought for a while, nodded, and said with a smile, "Forget it..."

"what!!"

Before Su Tong finished speaking, there was a sharp scream in the room. She was startled, and hurriedly opened the door to go in. She saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman who did not know where to find a pair of scissors and pointed towards her. Her chest was pierced, and blood spurted out, but she may have been hungry for a long time, and she was not strong enough, but she didn't die. She collapsed on the ground and panted heavily. At a loss.

Su Tong frowned, and rushed over in two steps. He was relieved when he saw the woman's wound. The injury was not serious, it was probably a flesh wound, but it was bloody and scary to look at.

She pulled off her sleeve and covered the woman's wound. Before she could speak, the female patient who had been sitting on the side sickly suddenly rushed forward, raised her hand and slapped her: "Are you looking for death now? Are you early?" What are you doing? If you don’t die long ago, don’t you die now, can’t you add trouble to your benefactor now?”

The injured woman was just panting heavily, her eyes open in a daze, her eyes glazed over, and she didn't say a word.

The female patient's eyes were red and her face was distorted. She stared at her for a while, then her body went limp, and she collapsed on the ground, crying loudly: "I know you are afraid, I am also afraid, we are all afraid... the future, what will happen in the future?" Do it! I have already promised it to my cousin, how dare I ask for such a marriage now, I am afraid that even my sister's marriage will be affected, it is really... It is better to die and get clean!"

When she cried, the whole house cried loudly.

Su Tong frowned and looked at these women crying bitterly. He didn't know why, but suddenly his heart felt sour. This is not the 21st century. No matter how unfair the 21st century is, women are also in a disadvantaged position. Marriage Weakness, maybe a good marriage will be ruined because of a mistress. Weakness in career, in many fields, it is almost impossible to get the same status as a man.

However, women in the 21st century, no matter how miserable they are, they can survive anyway. On the surface, there is a saying that men and women are equal. A woman is determined, she can always live as long as she wants.

Here, in the Great Song Dynasty, which is more enlightened than later dynasties, women encounter the catastrophe in front of them, but it becomes difficult to even survive...
