In the morning of this day, Sun Simiao and his party first arrived at the county government office of Lantian County. This was the first stop of their free clinic trip. They chose this place mainly because it was close to Yunshan!
The magistrate of Lantian County had already received the news and went out to greet him personally at the yamen. The desks, tables and chairs had been placed in the county yamen courtyard. Everyone entered the county yamen. Sun Simiao and other doctors took their seats one after another, while Mo Zhong and other academy guards were Standing on both sides, Sun Simiao smiled and said: "County Magistrate He, Pindao is ready. You can go and do your work! Don't miss the official business!"
County Magistrate He is a middle-aged scribe who is nearly forty years old. He has a small beard on his chin and does not have a big belly like other officials. He seems to be a relatively easy-to-get-together person. At this time, he said with a smile on his face:
"Haha! It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! There haven't been any cases in the county government recently. I have also learned some medical knowledge since I was a child. I happen to be studying with Dr. Sun today. I won't miss my official duties!"
Li Zexuan sent people yesterday afternoon to say hello to the county magistrates of the 22 counties in Chang'an, saying that they must entertain Sun Simiao and his party, and must ensure the safety of Sun Simiao, Dr. Qin, Dr. Wang and others. Lantian County serves as most of Li Zexuan's fiefdoms Strictly speaking, Magistrate He was Li Zexuan's subordinate. How could he dare to neglect him at this time?
Today, none of the county government officials are absent. Regardless of what happened before, they were all summoned back by County Magistrate He. It can be said that today's county government officials are on full alert, just to prevent unruly people from colliding with Sun Simiao.
"Well! In that case, please ask County Magistrate He to let the people waiting outside in!"
Sun Simiao frowned slightly. Due to his years of practicing Taoism and traveling around, he didn't like dealing with local officials very much. Magistrate He's enthusiasm also made him a little unaccustomed!
"no problem!"
County Magistrate He responded, turned to the yamen servant behind him and ordered: "Captain Sun, ask the people outside the yamen to line up and come in one by one!"
After saying that, he winked at the latter, indicating that the latter should be more vigilant to prevent bad guys from mixing into the crowd.
"Here!"
Mr. Sun promised loudly and nodded imperceptibly.
"Line up, line up, no crowding allowed!"
There is already a sea of people outside the Yamen, and people with their families are crowded in the crowd. They don’t want to miss today’s free clinic. If they miss it, it will not only be a matter of waiting for a year!
Seeing that the official of the yamen was finally willing to let him go, the people cheered. The crowd, which had been crowded and noisy before, immediately formed two columns and began to enter the county yamen for treatment.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?"
"Master Doctor Sun, old lady, my leg hurts day and night, please take a look at it!"
After a while, the free clinic officially started. In front of Sun Simiao, a gray-haired old lady sat. Behind the old lady, stood a woman, who must be her daughter-in-law or daughter.
"Does it hurt here?"
"no!"
"here?"
"Yeah!"
"Does it hurt here?"
"Ouch, it hurts a little too!"
Sun Simiao stood up, walked to the old lady, pinched several places on the old lady's right leg, and after determining the location of the lesion, he sat back and said, "The main reason for this is that you have too much moisture in your body, and the weather is very cold now. , such symptoms will naturally occur, Pindao will prescribe you a plaster to remove dampness and coldness. When you go back, apply it on the painful area of your calf, and it will be cured in a month or so!"
The old lady agreed and the woman behind her was overjoyed and thanked her profusely: "Thank you so much, Dr. Sun! Thank you so much, Dr. Sun!"
Sun Simiao smiled, wrote the prescription after a while, and said: "Please go to the side to grab the medicine, next one!"
The two of them were stunned for a moment. They looked at Hu Jingran next to them and the pile of medicine cabinets behind Hu Jingran. Then they realized that Sun Simiao was not only treating them and prescribing medicines for them today, but also giving them medicines for free!
"Thank you so much, Doctor Sun!"
The two of them burst into tears of gratitude, thanked him again, and almost knelt down in front of Sun Simiao!
Sun Simiao waved his hand and said: "There is no need to thank Pindao. If you want to thank me, just thank the current saint and thank those who donated money to the Nuantang Foundation!"
..…………………………………………
In the palace, after the morning court, a doctor from the Imperial Medical Office asked to see Li Er. He told Li Er about the "tour" free clinic held by Sun Simiao and others in the "Datang Daily" and asked Li Er to allow the doctor from the Imperial Medical Office to Get involved too.
Li Er heard the news and immediately agreed.
So, near noon, a dozen doctors from the Imperial Medical Office and more than fifty students from the Imperial Medical Office came to the Lantian County Government Office and joined the free clinic team.
After hearing the news, many people involuntarily knelt down towards the palace and chanted "Your Majesty's kindness".
At this time, seeing so many doctors entering the county government office for consultation, those people who came later and were at the back finally no longer worried that they would not be able to get their turn.
"Divine Doctor Sun, my wife had a cold a few days ago, and her forehead suddenly feels hot today. Please give her some medicine to save her!"
In the afternoon, a middle-aged man staggered to Sun Simiao, holding a woman with her eyes closed and her face flushed, crying bitterly.
Sun Simiao's eyes narrowed and he said: "Then help her sit up quickly! Come and check her pulse!"
The man's face changed, and he said: "Master Sun, my wife is undoubtedly suffering from a fever, why do you need to check her pulse? You can just prescribe some antipyretic medicine! Besides, this man and woman are not close to each other, just in case..."
(The so-called fever refers to what is often called fever in modern times)
"presumptuous!"
Seeing that the man was getting more and more outrageous, County Magistrate He finally couldn't help but yelled.
At this time, County Magistrate He really wanted to take this man down for questioning, but he also knew that there were so many people at the moment, and if he took him rashly, it would probably cause panic. After thinking about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said:
"What a cunning person, you dare to say nothing in front of me and Dr. Sun! Doctors do not distinguish between men and women. If you hide your illness and avoid medical treatment, why do you need to bring your wife here for medical treatment?"
The man lay on the ground, crying with snot and tears: "Master Qingtian, it's not because I'm troublesome, but because my wife is born not to like other men to touch her! Now my wife's cold is getting worse and she has a high fever." I am not retreating, I am unconscious, please ask Master Qingtian and Divine Doctor Sun to prescribe some medicine for my wife! I beg you two!"
Hearing how pitifully he cried, many people in the courtyard began to whisper. Apparently, some people had begun to sympathize with this man.
Magistrate He's face froze. At this time, he also believed that this man was "evil", but on the other side was Sun Simiao! If he sided with this man, wouldn't he be denying Sun Simiao face? But if this is not the case, once the people's sentiments change, the official hat on his head will be gone!
