: Benevolent and Benevolent Hand
Although more than two months have passed since the earthquake, the county that has suffered the most severely affected still retains the tragic situation after the earth has churned. The city walls have completely collapsed, and there are ruins everywhere, and there is no intact house at all.
People live in shacks made of wooden boards, sitting or lying, looking indifferently at the dusty intruders, a little curious about what they were going to do.
Silence is also strange. It is the Spring Equinox. It is said that it is the busy farming season, so why is no one going to work in the fields?
But the matter is still important. He asked a smart guard named Chang Sanchi beside him to inquire about Li Shizhen's whereabouts.
Chang Sanchi completed the task with a small bag of fried noodles and came back to report: "Sir, Doctor Li has gone to the neighboring county."
"Let's go." Chen Mo verified the news again and headed to the neighboring county. This time Li Shizhen did not leave again. It is said that he was treating everyone in the teaching ground.
Silent breathed a sigh of relief, and surrounded by guards, he went to the county teaching ground. When he arrived at the ground, he saw a shocking scene. He saw that there were at least a thousand injuries on the huge school ground, either missing arms or missing legs or wailing with his wounds. This made him very confused. It was said that it was a hundred days of injury, but why did so long have passed and so many new fractures?
But seeing these wounds lie in order, there is enough passage between each line, and every ten feet in between, there is a huge iron pot, which boils not herbs, but some willow branches and bark, which is also very strange.
After walking around silently for a few days, he couldn't find the legendary doctor Li, so he had to ask someone. The man pointed at a distance and said, "He is there, and he is tying the bones."
Looking in the direction he pointed, Chen Si saw a man wearing a coarse cloth clothes with his back to him, squatting there, dealing with a patient's injured leg... He was so inconspicuous that when Chen Si walked past him, he thought he was a barefoot doctor, treating the patient.
This is not a complaint about silence. From Shaoxing to Beijing, there were hundreds of doctors he had met. None of them were hypocritical and full of postures, but from thinking about the famous medical saint Li Shizhen, he was so... ordinary.
He walked over gently and stopped his subordinates from making a sound. Silence stood behind Li Shizhen and witnessed an absolutely shocking operation...
After the examination, the man had a deformed bone injury that was healed due to his failure to be treated, Li Shizhen ordered a few men to hold it firmly, then stuffed a wooden stick into his mouth, tied it with a cloth strip, and then used a sharp knife to reveal the man's white bone injury along the texture of the muscles. Without seeing clearly what he did, he cut off the crooked bone.
Li Shizhen compared the taken part and made the peeled willow branches into bone shape. The middle of the willow branches was opened into a bone cavity, and then placed it in the middle of the two broken bones of the patient. After measuring, he found that the slit was tight. He applied hot chicken blood on both ends of the willow branches and the two sections of the bone. Then he tied them together while it was hot, and then sprinkled a kind of "Shiqing San" that can grow muscles on the muscles, sewed the muscles with intestinal thread, applied blood grafting cream on the joint area, and clamped the wooden board to fix the bone position, and then finished...
He was very fast, less than two quarters of an hour.
Seeing this magical scene, silent couldn't help but say, "Can willow branches also be used as bones?"
Li Shizhen, who was squatting on the ground, did not answer. A basin of hot water was brought by an apprentice, so that the master could wash away the blood from his hands in the copper basin. He could not help but show off: "Are you a layman? This is a good thing given by God. After being implanted, the fresh willow branches will become bones and restore their original functions; and they will not necrotize or rot in bone grafting, which can avoid amputation. What is more valuable is that they are inexhaustible and useless... Master, right?"
The doctor nodded and said, "Next." He stood up with his legs, bent his waist and went to a patient next to him... Fortunately, not everyone needs bone reorganization, and most of the operations are relatively simple and do not take so much time.
Siren followed behind. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't speak. He had to stand aside first and wait for Li Shizhen to finish his work before talking.
But not everyone is as patient as him. About an hour later, several men with a look of servants came over and found Li Shizhen and bowed and said, "Doctor Li, my old lady invites you again. You have to go with us no matter what this time."
Li Shizhen didn't listen, and didn't look back. He said with a hoarse throat: "I don't have so much spare time to visit the clinic. If I am sick, I come here to queue up. It's your turn, so I will naturally treat him."
"Aren't you forced yourself to do something?" A housekeeper said with difficulty: "My master is a governor and a provincial official. How could my young master come to such a place?"
"Is your young master a human?" Li Shizhen asked lightly, his hands were still accurate and rapid, and it seemed that he had been repeated thousands of times.
"What is this? Of course it's a person." The butler said in a silence.
"There are people lying here," Li Shizhen said while bandaging the wound: "If others come, he will come too."
"Doctor Li, don't force us to move..." The strong man behind him was used to being arrogant and said without hesitation.
When he heard him say this, Chen Si immediately closed his eyes unbearable... The consequences of the Divine Doctor Li, who dared to threaten the patient and his family, can be imagined.
Sure enough, as soon as the man finished speaking, he was hit by countless trash and rubbish, like raindrops on his body. The few people had to run away with their heads in their arms... This is why the silence has not spoken for a long time.
He was silent for two more hours, and he could not see clearly until it was dark. In this short period of time, three or five groups of people came to invite him to see a doctor, and he threatened to prevent him from leaving the county town, so he was naturally driven away by the angry people. The money for inducing the doctor even cost 500 taels of silver, but Li Shizhen just laughed and continued to go there.
At night, he was silent and thought that he could rest. Unexpectedly, Li Shizhen asked his apprentice to light Song Ming and continued to be busy. At this time, the group of people who were beaten away earlier came back and sneaked up the sedan chair, as if they were afraid that others would see it.
The housekeeper asked softly again, and Li Shizhen moved his sore neck and said, "Okay, go in line."
"How long will it take?" the housekeeper asked cautiously, for fear of annoying this ancestor who was more arrogant than the governor.
"Two or three hundred people." Li Shizhen's apprentice replied.
The housekeeper turned around and looked at the young master who was moaning in the sedan chair, and had to grit his teeth and said, "If the miracle doctor shows my young master first, the Han family is willing to donate five hundred doses of anti-epidemic medicine..." This was taught by his old lady.
Li Shizhen paused and said in a deep voice: "One Thousand Pairs."
"Okay." This is exactly the price his old lady offered.
After dealing with the injury, Li Shizhen finally stood up slowly, rubbed her sore waist and said, "Take me to see the patient."
With the fire, Chen Mo saw clearly that Li Shizhen was not tall, dark and thin, with a tired face, and even had to hold his apprentice's shoulders to straighten his waist...
Li Shizhen's medical skills were indeed amazing. In just about a quarter of an hour, he came out of the sedan chair and wrote a prescription to the housekeeper, "Go back and take the medicine according to the prescription, and it will be fine in seven days."
The housekeeper thanked him so much that he wanted to pick up the recipe, but Li Shizhen stopped and refused to let him take it.
The housekeeper suddenly realized and quickly ordered someone to carry four large loads of medicine bags over. After Li Shizhen tested it, he gave him the prescription.
When the group of people left in the sedan chair, it was already the fourth day. Li Shizhen stretched out her waist and finally turned her eyes to silently and said, "What advice do you have?"
He bowed silently and said, "Although it is selfish to say this, I still have to say that there is a patient in the student's home, and only you can save him."
Li Shizhen put down his sleeves and said, "You saw it too, I don't have time to go to the hospital." Looking at the stars in the sky, he said, "If you have nothing else, please come back. I'll have to get up again after sleeping for two hours."
Silent bowed and said, "I know that my wife's life is not more precious than anyone else. If the villagers were still alive at this time and needed treatment in urgent need of treatment, I would definitely turn around and leave. But I have watched it for a long time and heard it. I knew that the villagers were all bone healing deformed, and this disease cannot be cured, but it is not as dangerous as my wife, and I will not be a few days later..."
Li Shizhen raised his hand and interrupted him and said, "Go out!"
Silent but unmoved, he continued, "I also heard from your apprentice that the weather is getting warmer, and the epidemic will definitely occur in the earthquake zone. At that time, there will be ten times more people who die than before. I am willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to ask my husband to buy medicinal materials to eliminate the epidemic, which can be regarded as helping my wife accumulate good deeds."
Li Shizhen finally let go of her fingers and sighed indefinitely desolately: "150,000 taels, buy them all into plague-removing medicine..."
