Yu Yi looked at Hua Tuo's appearance again. He looked no different from an ordinary old man, even more vicissitudes of life. However, he always had a smile on his face, which made people less likely to get angry.

"What are you doing here?"

Yu Yi saw Wei Gang walking over with a pair of men and horses, and asked quickly.

"I came to see the excitement. I heard that someone is coming to the city?"

Wei Gang replied.

"Haha, it's this old man, didn't you see it?"

Yu Yi introduced the old man next to Wei Gang, and at the same time told everyone around to find water to quench the old man's thirst.

"That's him, right? Come on, arrest him!"

Wei Gang looked the old man up and down, then his expression changed, and he gave an order to arrest the old man.

"No need to be rude, don't you know who this old man is?"

Yu Yi stood in front of Hua Tuo and helped him block the officers and soldiers.

"I don't care who he is. I think he's acting suspiciously. I'm afraid he's a spy among thieves, planning to lurk in our Julu City like this."

Wei Gang still insisted on his opinion.

Yu Yi thought for a moment, how could Wei Gang know why Hua Tuo needed people.

Hua Tuo is one of the few outstanding surgeons in the history of Chinese medicine. He is good at using anesthesia, acupuncture, moxibustion and other methods, and is good at thoracotomy and abdominal rupture surgery. The method of surgery is not the mainstream treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine based on the culture of "respecting Confucianism". Under the Confucian proposition that "the body is nourished by its parents," surgery is not widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. developed. Some medical historians have found that the treatment methods used by Hua Tuo are recorded in Indian medicine. The main drug "Mandala flower" in the Ma Fei powder he used is also produced in India. Therefore, they proposed that Hua Tuo traveled to the Central Plains throughout his life. Everywhere, he is most likely a doctor from India.

This kind of person, who is quite famous in history, wouldn't it be God's help to come to Julu City?

However, as the chief arrester, Wei Gang had the responsibility to investigate suspicious persons coming and going. He should have also discovered that Hua Tuo was able to come in through the west gate and was in a normal physical condition. He must have something special about him. , which adds some doubts.

In the moment of dilemma, Zuo Zuo brought the requested water, and Yu Yi took it and handed it to Hua Tuo.

He thought for a while and said to Wei Gang: "Do you still remember the three-day appointment between County Magistrate Huang Wenjie and me? Didn't you promise to help me?"

Wei Gang replied: "That's true, but what does it have to do with this person?"

In order to stir up trouble, Yu Yi secretly pulled Wei Gang to a corner, making sure that no one else could hear him, and said softly: "You don't know this man, he is my friend, a very famous doctor, the one who told us about Julu He came to visit me about the situation in the county.”

Wei Gang slapped the back of his head, smiled, and said, "So that's it, then you should have said it earlier."

Yuyi smiled, as if thinking of something, and asked, "How did you get the news?"

"It was County Magistrate Huang who told me. He said there was a suspicious person in Ximen, and he asked me to come and take a look!"

Wei Gang answered based on the truth.

In this way, Yu Yi understood the situation. Magistrate Huang may not have calculated that after an in-depth communication, Yu Yi and Wei Gang had become closer, and some things were easy to negotiate.

"Well, you can just say that he is a friend of mine in Daoxiang Village when you go back, so that he won't embarrass you."

Yu Yi made up his mind and made suggestions to Wei Gang.

After hearing this, Wei Gang also adopted Yu Yi's suggestion and hurriedly left from the west gate with the team of people.

After Hua Tuo drank the water, he felt a little confused. However, when he saw Wei Gang leading people away, he knew that Yu Yi had played a key role and quickly thanked him. However, there was something he didn't understand, so he still asked, "I This is my first meeting with you, why do you protect me so much?"

"They don't know you, but I know your name. I hope you won't take their rudeness to heart."

Yuyi looked very humble.

Hua Tuo was still a young doctor at this time, that is, he only treated people and had no reputation. He felt very embarrassed about the famous name mentioned by Yu Yi.

Yu Yi read something from his expression and changed the topic. He took Hua Tuo to the Ximen area and asked as he was leaving, "May I ask, sir, what kind of thing is this?" infectious disease?"

Hua Tuo encountered some symptoms when he entered from the west gate. However, he is a famous Chinese medicine expert after all and has a way to protect himself. However, he still has no clue how to treat this disease. When Yu Yi said this, he thought he had met a My colleagues looked very happy.

After asking Yuyi for his name, he casually asked about Yuyi. Yuyi just told Hua Tuo that he had read some introductory Chinese medicine books. He did not know any advanced medical skills.

Hua Tuo nodded, and he put forward his own opinions on this condition. He mentioned that the specific symptoms of this condition are, initially, lymphatic swellings in the groin or armpits, and then bluish appearance on the arms, thighs, and other parts of the body. Black herpes is a highly contagious disease.

Yu Yi combined Hua Tuo's observations and realized his own gap. He only saw the symptoms of high fever, and he observed them from a distance. Hua Tuo's conclusion must be based on personal contact with specific patients.

He couldn't help but give Hua Tuo high praise.

Hua Tuo's description of symptoms also allowed modern people Yu Yi to adopt some modern thinking. Yu Yi had read about this disease in history books, called the Black Death. In the Middle Ages, this disease swept across Europe. It invaded the entire Europe, reducing the population there by more than half and almost exterminating them. At that time, people had no choice but to use all weird treatment methods. Some eat feces and ashes, others cut out black lumps, and some even put live toads on their chests.

However, these were all Yu Yi's guesses, and he exchanged some ideas with Hua Tuo.

These theories of Yu Yi were very advanced for that era, and only famous doctors like Hua Tuo could understand them. However, he didn't know what the Black Death meant, so he asked. Yu Yi also patiently answered that the Black Death was actually the plague, which was a very strong infectious disease.

After Hua Tuo found out it was the plague, he seemed to suddenly realize that he had been exploring the origin of the disease during this period. The appearance of Yu Yi helped him completely understand the problem.

Hua Tuo continued to ask about the treatment plan for this condition. Yuyi naturally said nothing, because in modern times, there is this vaccine, and many people have no problems after being vaccinated. He just mentioned it briefly and said that there is actually no treatment.

When Hua Tuo heard Yu Yi's explanation, he did not give up hope, but went to a specific sick person in the Ximen area.
