Chapter 9 Maggot Therapy
Ga?Am I that old?

Although Liu Zhiwei knew that Li Buqi looked darker, fatter, and shabby, he never thought that he would be recognized as an uncle by children.This is so overwhelming.

But now is not the time to care about that.Liu Zhiwei didn't fully understand how important parents are to a family until after his mother passed away. Looking at the two poor children, he decided to help if he could.

So he nodded to the little girl: "Maybe."

Then he walked up to the woman.Since you are recognized as an uncle, let's admit it: "This cleaning lady, let me ask a question."

The woman raised her head: "Strong man, please speak."

"I don't know how long sister-in-law thinks he can live if he keeps doing this?"

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed, and the onlookers also booed.Someone shouted: "Man Wu, do you have a crush on her little lady?"

Liu Zhiwei continued without changing his expression: "I have a recipe, but it's a bit weird. So it's all up to my sister-in-law. If my sister-in-law is willing to listen, I'll say it. If she doesn't want to listen, that's all."

The flame of hope rose in the woman's eyes: "My family also knows that if no one can heal, I am afraid that it will not last for a few days. I beg the strong man to tell me if there is a way to heal this injury. Yep."

Liu Zhiwei said: "Since my sister-in-law understands, it's easy to say. To put it bluntly, now I am a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and I have to try any method. I have a method, but I just heard it said, and the share is worth it." I have no idea. But if there is no other way, you might as well try it.”

The woman hurriedly said, "Please speak, strong man."

"It's actually very simple. The wound doesn't heal because of the carrion. As long as you don't chase away the flies, let the flies land on the wound and produce maggots, and let the maggots eat the carrion. After the maggots have eaten the carrion, wash the maggots away, and let the maggots eat the carrion. The wound is healed. It’s just that his body is still weak now, so it’s hard to say whether he can survive until then.”

Looking back, everyone present was stunned, and the woman asked after a long time: "Is what the strong man said true?"

Liu Zhiwei said: "Of course it is true. But it still depends on luck. One is whether he can survive it, and the other is that the flies are already carrying dirty things on their bodies. It is better not to make the wound more... fester." He paused for a while. Find a word to replace "infection".

"What kind of method is this?" "So how can pickled things cure diseases?" "Maybe, bat feces can be used as medicine, why not maggots?" "But which doctor said that maggots can be used to cure diseases?"... …

There were whispers in the crowd, and the woman also looked surprised, but turned to look at a person.Liu Zhiwei turned his head to look over and saw that it was a poor scholar.The scholar was also shocked by the method Liu Zhiwei said, but when he saw the woman looking over, he suddenly jumped up and said to the woman, "That's the way. I think it's the way. Do you still remember what I told you about you?" The family man has the appearance of maggots biting his body? Now the method this brother said fits the hexagram."

Uh, what's the trouble?Why did you come up with a fortune teller?

But the woman quickly thanked the scholar, then turned around and said: "Since the strong man understands this method, please save him quickly."

Liu Zhiwei could only smile wryly and said: "The most important thing right now is to find a decent doctor and take medicine to keep him angry, so that he can last until the carrion is removed."

At this time, an idler shouted: "Let's go to Futian Hospital. There are imperial physicians there who often make rounds. If they see such weird healing methods, they will definitely keep them. Just treat them there."

This group of idlers hurriedly carried the wounded to Futian Yard, where the imperial court adopted orphans, widows and weak people.Sure enough, there was a Huimin outpatient clinic run by the medical officer's hospital. The medical officer who attended the clinic was very angry when he heard that maggots were used to treat the wound, but he had nothing to do with this kind of wound and could only agree to let Li Buqi try it.

Now Liu Zhiwei used Li Buqi's identity to ask the medical officer to prescribe tonic and antipyretic prescriptions to pour down on the wounded, and to remove the cloth covering the wound, so that the flies landed on it and laid eggs.It was getting late after finishing these.Li Buqi said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, the human affairs are exhausted, now I will obey the destiny. I want to go home now, and I will come to see him tomorrow."

Because of such a strange treatment method, the medical officer asked Futian Yard to tidy up a room for the family to live in, and they were not afraid of the wind and rain.The woman was very grateful for sending Li Buqi out of the house.Li Buqi looked up and saw that down-and-out scholar was already waiting at the door.There were still many idlers watching the excitement outside the door, but this scholar squeezed into Li Buqi's side lightly and skillfully.

With a Shaanxi accent, he cupped his hands and said, "Young man, please stay a little longer, I see that your bones are very clear and talented..."

This word sounded familiar, Liu Zhiwei hurriedly interrupted him and asked: "What do you want to say, Mr. Xiucai? Just accept me as a disciple and you won't be spared."

The scholar smiled and said: "I see you are not like an ordinary person, so I counted my fingers, and the hexagrams I got are very strange. Therefore, I want to chat with my brother. It's not early, and I see that my brother hasn't eaten yet. Right? Why don't you treat me together and drink two bowls of wine over there?"

Li Buqi was indeed hungry, and there were not a few copper coins left, so it was great to be invited to dinner.So he followed Xiucai to a foot shop on the side of the road.The scholar ordered two dishes and a jar of wine, but Liu Zhiwei was not interested in the wine of this era, and only wanted a bowl of soup cakes, that is, noodles.

This scholar did not have the elegance of a scholar at all. He poured two bowls of wine into a large bowl from a jar and drank it. After Li Buqi had eaten half a bowl of soup cakes, he said, "My little brother was kicked out from the Shaanxi frontier army." ?”

Upon hearing this, Li Buqi immediately became alert and asked, "How do you know?"

The scholar said: "I know divination, and everything is in the divination. Today, the woman waited outside the city gate until you healed his man, so I did the calculation for him."

so amazing?Even if Liu Zhiwei was killed, he would not believe it.

The scholar said, "Since you have been in the frontier army, have you heard of Lian Guangzhi?"

There is such a name in Li Buqi's memory.What is it for?Check Li Buqi's memory carefully. Liu Zhiwei knows that Lian Guangzhi is a man of utility.It's just that Li Buqi had never met this man. Lian Guangzhi had already left the army when he arrived in Shaanxi.

Seeing how Li Buqi remembered it, the scholar said, "I'm Lian Guangzhi. Now you believe me, I can tell a fortune teller, right?"

Seeing that Li Buqi acquiesced, he went on to say: "Here I have to ask my brother for advice. I saw that your bones are clear and talented, so I calculated a hexagram. I didn't expect this hexagram to be very weird. From the hexagram See, you are not alone, but two. How is this possible? I wonder if my little brother has encountered any strange things recently? My little brother told me so that I can avoid doubts."

Liu Zhiwei felt his back drenched in cold sweat - can this be calculated?Isn't it amazing?But it's not like nonsense.

So through Li Buqi's mouth, Liu Zhiwei told how Li Buqi escaped from death in Haoshuichuan and the Zhenrong Army.Lian Guangzhi frowned after hearing this, kept pinching his fingers and muttering words, and shook his head for a long time before saying: "Is it because my brother escaped from death that such weird hexagrams appeared? He escaped alive from Han Papi's hand." It can be considered as a human being in two lifetimes, maybe this is why you have two lives?"

It seems that Lian Guangzhi has started to open his mind, but obviously his brain is not big enough.Liu Zhiwei nodded hurriedly: "That's the way I think it is." Then he quickly changed the subject: "I heard an old horseman say that my brother was a utility soldier in the army? Why did he suddenly leave the army?"

Utilitarians are equipped with their own weapons and horses to join the army, similar to volunteers.

Lian Guangzhi took a sip of wine and sighed, "You have also suffered from Han Qi, and I will not hide it from you. I originally wanted to join the army to earn a living, but who would want to see those civil servants are too stupid to win the war? But it was difficult. Later when Han Qi came to take office, if I didn’t get out of there quickly, I would probably follow Ren Fu and throw his body into the wilderness. A man is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of dying in a wrong place.”

"What does that say?"

Draining the wine in one breath, Lian Guangzhi said: "Of course you know that Han Qi proposed to the officials the strategy of attacking Xixia, but you may not know that his strategy of attacking Xia is just like a dream come true, even how to march and where to attack. I don't know. Besides, he held a high-level banquet in three or two days, and he didn't prepare for an attack at all. If the officials really use his offensive strategy, hundreds of thousands of troops will take my head if they travel three hundred miles without food. And Han Qi specializes in killing warriors.

"After that fellow Han Qi took office, he would mercilessly kill any soldiers who he thought had bad conduct, and would reward those who fought with death. What's worse is that Han Qi didn't know how to fight and was self-righteous, and he killed warriors like a butcher. Dog, he killed many of those who knew how to advance and retreat when facing the enemy for the crime of fearing the enemy. Only reckless people like Ren Fu are good people in his eyes.

When Ren Fu meets such a cunning and cunning opponent as Yuan Hao, it's no wonder our army is undefeated!But I still dare not say that Han Qi is good at killing people, if Han Qi finds out, he will definitely expose me to the crime of bewitching the morale of the army. "
