This makes sense. Yesterday, the mare did not let Young Master Black come forward to breastfeed because she sensed that this guy contained a highly toxic substance. Those who eat will be poisoned and die suddenly.
After eating dry food but not drinking water last night, Changsheng was a little thirsty. He picked up the baggage and touched his sleeves and waist to make sure that the dagger, fire, folds and other items he carried with him were not left behind. Then he took the black master and set off on the road.
After walking seven or eight miles, he encountered a stream. Changsheng hurriedly walked over to drink water. After drinking the water, he walked a few dozen feet upstream. He found a secluded place and took off his clothes. The clothes he was wearing had been removed the night before. It got dirty. Although it was washed by rain, the odor and dirt could not be washed away, making it very uncomfortable to wear.
After spreading the washed clothes on the stones by the water to dry, Changsheng took a bath in the stream again. After washing, the clothes were still wet, so he could only find a sheltered place by the water to sit and wait.
At this time, the temperature was not very high, and the clothes would have to be dried in the afternoon, but he could wait, but Mr. Hei couldn't wait. He was hungry, so he bowed his head and humped again.
Changsheng had no choice but to look at the baggage on the side, which was left behind by Sanyunzi.
Sanmuzi escaped from death and was very weak. It was impossible for Sanyunzi to carry him around. The most likely possibility was to go south and return to Longhu Mountain. Sanyunzi probably wouldn't go back with the baggage he left behind. There was a set of clothes in this baggage. clothes.
He didn't have any clothes to change. After hesitation, he opened his bag and took out the clothes and tried them on. Unexpectedly, they fit him very well. In fact, Miyunzi was not short, just two inches shorter than Mimuzi.
Taoists have the habit of wearing hats on weekdays, and Sanyunzi also has a hat in his bag. Changsheng didn't want to wear someone else's hat, but he thought that he had made such a fuss in Zige Zaoshan not long ago, and everyone knew about him. His hair was very short, so he probably used it as a clue to find him, so he put his hat on as well.
There were shoes in the bag. Seeing that the shoes on my feet were muddy and dirty, I put them on and brushed the old ones as well.
On the road again, Changsheng felt a little awkward, not because his clothes and shoes didn't fit him, but because wearing someone else's clothes made him feel like an impostor. Although he had never received a gift and entered school, he knew that he couldn't take things that were not his own.
After walking awkwardly for a few miles, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind. Changsheng turned around when he heard the sound and saw several fast horses galloping from the south.
Chang Sheng took a deep breath when he saw clearly what the rider was wearing. There was a yellow patch on his chest, and he was from the Beggar Clan.
There's no village in front of me, no store in back, no way to avoid it, no way to escape, it's over, it's over.
Those horses ran very fast, and it didn't take long for them to get close. There were three horses in total. When they passed by him, the three people on them looked back at him almost at the same time.
At this moment, Changsheng was extremely nervous. He and the Beggar Clan had formed a deadly feud, and if he fell into the hands of the Beggar Clan, his life would be worse than death.
Fortunately, the three people just glanced at him and didn't stop too much. They shook their reins and galloped past him.
Just when Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Young Master Hei got into trouble. He didn't know whether he saw the same kind of people or what, he jumped and neighed to chase them. He was born not long ago, so naturally he couldn't catch up with the adult horses, but the neighing sound was loud. The three people on the horse looked back again.
Fortunately, the three of them did not become suspicious and did not rein in their horses and slow down.
After the horse galloped away, the black man turned around and ran back, shaking his head and sneezing loudly. He was not reluctant to follow his peers, but rather resentful that he had not caught up with others.
Changsheng was still frightened and frightened. He pointed at Mr. Hei and cursed, "You are really an old man who hanged himself. You have lived enough. You killed me. Let's see who will find milk for you."
Naturally, Young Master Hei didn't understand what he was talking about. He was hungry and rubbed his head against him again.
Changsheng took a deep breath, regained his composure, and then continued on the road with Young Master Hei.
Fortunately, he was still calm before and did not hide in the woods. If he escaped into the woods, the few members of the Beggar Gang would definitely become suspicious and chase him.
However, I was able to escape unscathed this time, thanks to the Taoist attire I was wearing. If I had not changed into this attire before, my bald head with only a little hair would definitely attract the attention of these evil people. Once they stop and investigate, , will definitely die.
Changsheng had never walked this road before, and he didn't know how far away the next town was. He walked all day without seeing any villages or towns along the way. One person and one horse could only sleep in the wilderness hungry.
At dawn, Changsheng took the Black Master on the road. After walking for more than ten miles, a huge city appeared in front of him.
Seeing the city, Changsheng was overjoyed. He picked up the hungry and stumbling Black Young Master and walked towards the city.
When he was still three or four miles away from the city, Chang Sheng discovered something unusual. Although the city was very large, there were not many passers-by entering and exiting the city. There were carriages driving out from the city gate from time to time, but these carriages did not go south along the official road. Instead, he went to the nearby mountains.
No matter how close we were, we could see more clearly that the carriages were all people, to be exact, they were all dead people.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng Haosheng was puzzled. The walls of this city were very complete and there were no traces of war around. How could so many people die in the city? The crops in the fields around the city were growing well, and it didn't look like a famine broke out. Moreover, when a famine broke out, there would be refugees fleeing. As he went north, he didn't see any refugees fleeing along the way.
Could it be zombies? That's not right. Miyunzi once brought back the corpse teeth of the zombie. According to him, the biting zombie had been killed.
The black man is too hungry to walk. No matter what happens in the city, he has to go into the city to find food for him.
Walking towards the city gate with full of doubts, I found several notices posted on the wall on the east side of the city gate. When I took a closer look, I suddenly realized that there was a plague in the city. There were government reward notices posted on the wall, looking for people who could restrain the city. The doctor and prescription of the plague.
Just as Changsheng looked up to read the notice, an officer and soldier guarding the city asked, "Little Taoist Priest, do you know medical skills?"
Changsheng turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw that the person speaking was a man in his thirties, wearing a captain's military uniform. There was eagerness and expectation on his face. It was obvious that he had to seek medical treatment in a hurry due to desperation.
Qian Jin Yi Fang was written by Sun Zhenren, the King of Medicine, in his later years. It contained the essence of Qi Huang. He was already familiar with Qian Jin Yi Fang, so he naturally knew medical skills, but he did not dare to answer questions randomly because the plague was different from ordinary diseases and could spread. It is contagious and extremely difficult to treat.
Seeing Chang Sheng's hesitation, the captain seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly walked over from the city gate, "Little Taoist Priest, do you know medical skills?"
Changsheng didn't want to cause trouble, and wanted to shake his head and deny it, but when he saw the captain's begging and expectant eyes, he suddenly felt compassion, "I only know a little bit about it, and I am far inferior to those doctors in the city who often treat people."
"As long as you know medical skills, I will help you uncover the list and take you to the government office immediately." The captain was very anxious.
Chang Sheng waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, I'm not good at medical skills. You must not reveal the results on my behalf."
Seeing Changsheng's refusal, the school captain did not force him, "How about this? I will take you to see the patient first. You can identify the disease and try to cure it. If the cure is good, I will take you to the government office. If not, you can go on your own." Leave, okay?"
Changsheng couldn't make up his mind and didn't answer the call immediately.
The captain didn't wait for Changsheng's consent. Seeing that he refused, he dragged him into the city.
"Sir, do you know where there are freshly foaled mares in the city?" Changsheng asked.
The school captain was not a fool. When he saw Young Master Hei staggering around behind Chang Sheng, he knew what he wanted to do. "I don't know where there are mares that have just given birth, but I have two goats that just gave birth to lambs not long ago. They can be milked." Feed this dark horse."
After hearing what the captain said, Changsheng followed him to the west city. The reason why the captain was so anxious was undoubtedly because his family was also infected with the plague.
On the way to the captain's residence, Changsheng took the opportunity to ask about the specific symptoms of the plague. According to the captain, the plague appeared at the beginning of last month. The sick people had persistent fever, chest tightness, coughing, vomiting and diarrhea, and weakness in the limbs. As the condition progressed, As the symptoms worsen, the symptoms of shortness of breath will become more severe, until you can't breathe and eventually die.
After listening to the captain's story, Changsheng had something in mind. It was not that he came up with a suitable prescription based on the symptoms mentioned by the captain, but that Qianjinyi Prescriptions originally contained prescriptions for treating various plagues. The plague mentioned was also recorded in Qianjin Yifangli.
"This plague does not infect livestock." Changsheng said.
"Yes, yes." The captain nodded.
"Half of the people who get sick can survive, and most of the people who die from the disease are the old, weak, women and children." Changsheng further confirmed.
"Yes, yes." The captain was overjoyed.
Although Changsheng already had some idea in his mind, he did not rush to make a conclusion. He still needed to see the patient with his own eyes before he could make a final decision.
The school captain lives in Xicheng. His official rank is not high, and the courtyard he lives in is not very big. He has his parents, his wife, and a pair of young children.
Except for the young lady, the two elders and two children were all infected with the plague.
While the woman was carrying a wooden bucket to milk the goat, Changsheng asked the school captain to read the prescriptions prescribed by the previous doctors.
As the saying goes, people have to die when compared with others, and goods have to be thrown away when comparing goods. This is a wise saying. The most fearful thing in the world is comparison. Without comparison, you can't tell the difference between good and bad. Without comparison, you can't tell the difference. These doctors said The prescriptions given are simply nonsense. They only treat the head when it hurts and the feet when the foot hurts. They are superficial and one-sided. They only focus on how to treat the symptoms without trying to trace the root cause and try to cure the root cause.
After reading the prescription, Chang Sheng inspected the four bedridden patients one by one, and finally determined that the plague was the plague called "Western Fire Suffering Gold" recorded in Qian Jin Yi Fang.
In his baggage were the talisman pens and cinnabar used for drawing talismans. He found them out to mix the cinnabar and ink, and then he said and wrote, "Ginseng enters the lung meridian, greatly replenishes vitality, replenishes the spleen and lungs, and uses six coins."
"Gypsum enters the lung meridian, clears away heat and purges fire, relieves irritability and relieves dryness. Use six coins."
"Tian withdraws into the lung meridian, clears away heat and removes phlegm, widens the chest and dissipates stagnation, use six qian."
"Almonds enter the lung meridian, lower qi and eliminate phlegm, relieve cough and asthma, use two coins."
"Tinglizi enters the lung meridian, relieves the lungs and lowers qi, eliminates phlegm and relieves asthma. It costs one dollar and two cents."
"Longsha enters the lung meridian, relieves the lungs and relieves asthma, diuresis and reduces swelling. It costs one dollar and two cents."
"Reed root enters the lung meridian, clears away heat and promotes fluid production, relieves irritability and relieves vomiting. This is the first decoction of the medicine. Use five coins."
"The lotus root enters the lung meridian, moistens the lungs and kidneys, replenishes qi and relieves cough. This is the second decoction of the medicine, and it costs five coins."
Changsheng finished writing and handed the prescription to the waiting captain.
Changsheng spoke quickly and wrote quickly. Seeing that he was young, the school captain was worried that he would be reckless and did not dare to take the medicine according to the prescription. "Little Taoist Priest, this is a matter of life and death. Do you want to think more about this prescription?" ?”
At this time, the captain's wife was coming back with a wooden barrel. Chang Sheng hurried out to pick it up, and the captain also followed.
Changsheng took the barrel and walked quickly towards the hungry and dizzy Young Master Hei. When he saw the captain following him with a worried look on his face, he stopped and turned around and said seriously, "The real prescription cures diseases and saves people, and does good deeds. Fake prescriptions mislead people." Life is a loss of good fortune and longevity. I know the severity and I won’t write it randomly. Go get the medicine quickly. One dose of medicine is boiled twice, three bowls of boiled half bowl, take once in the morning and evening..."
