Chapter 1

Title: Hemu Medical Center

Summary: Plum of plum, usual flat

Mao Dynasty, during the reign of Mao Muzong.

On the 15st of the twelfth lunar month in the 21th year of Shenglin, a letter was written in the almanac: it is advisable to marry and live in the house, and avoid laying down a bed to pray for blessings and livestock.

It was raining in winter this morning, and I went to the outskirts of Chang'an City to pay homage to my master Wang Huaiyuan and weed his grave.

He died in Shenglin 13, and I was his closed disciple.

In the eighth year of Shenglin, the area of ​​Lizhou in the southeast of the Mao Dynasty suffered first floods and then plagues.I was originally born to an orchid in a salt merchant. After my mother passed away, the salt merchant fell into decline, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and I lived on the streets.

Before fainting from hunger, on the road outside Lizhou City, a man wearing the clothes of a high-ranking official who only appeared in the theater passed by.I ignored his entourage to stop me, and rushed to grab the hem of his robe, and this action saved my own life.

I woke up in a strange room, and when I was wandering around in the courtyard, there was an old man in his seventies sitting in a room with the door open, hale and hearty, with a stern look on his face.He called me over, looked at my complexion, took my pulse and pondered, and asked me to stick out my tongue, and then asked me my birth, age and place of origin, and I answered them one by one.

Later I learned that the man in the official uniform was Liang Zeren, who was born as a Jinshi and was an official in Lizhou at the age of 30.This time, he and Shen Lingbin, the loyal and brave army guarding Lizhou, came to rescue the disaster.The old man was Wang Huaiyuan, the imperial physician who had been retired for years.And Guo Bing, the general judge of Lizhou, patrolled the counties below Lizhou.

The reason why I know is because I have been following Wang Huaiyuan to take care of the patients in order to get food to eat.He is a serious man, and after fifteen days, I was often scolded.Whenever he scolded, I would respectfully kneel down and listen to the training.After that, he occasionally gave me some medical advice.

As January passed, the situation improved.The maidservant in the inner courtyard said: "Lord Liang and his party have finished processing the case files, and will return to Beijing in a few days."

I ran into Wang Huaiyuan's room to worship him as my teacher, so I left with him.

He refused.I knelt like every time I was trained.He walked away, and I knelt for three days.During those three days he came in and out, treating me as nothing.Some kind maidservants and servants came to persuade me, I thanked them for their kindness, and I still knelt at the door of his room.

Three days without water, my lips were chapped and my vision blurred.The door in front of me was still closed, and I couldn't help but fell backwards, feeling desperate.

Unexpectedly, someone stopped me, rushed to the door and said with a smile: "Physician Wang, he went to university with his hair tied. This young man is so sincere before he wears his hair. He is very suitable to learn the great skills of adults."

I whispered, "Thank you, Master Liang."

Lord Liang shook his head, and stuffed a coin into my hand: "I'll give you investment money."

Then the door opened, and a pair of mille-soled cloth shoes walked in front of me. I felt relieved and passed out.

After that, I returned to Beijing with my master.Lizhou City went away and became smaller until it disappeared.I was a little apprehensive.On the way, the master turned to Yutan City, Wangzhou to visit an old friend, and gave me the first medical book, and I put the silver osmanthus flowers I picked up in Yutan City in the medical book.

As soon as you enter Chang'an, you will have extraordinary vigor.I didn't have time to take a closer look at the prosperity, so I entered a small mansion with my master and formally worshiped him as my teacher.He sat on the chair in the main hall with a solemn expression.

Pay homage to the ancestors.I pray for the blessing of my ancestors so that I can succeed in my studies.

The second line kowtowed.Kneeling to offer red envelopes and investment posts.The money given by Mr. Liang was sealed in the red envelope, and the master took it solemnly.

Third, listen to the master's instructions.He read the door rules first, and I wrote them down carefully.The name has not been given otherwise, and the word "Li Ping" is still used.The lectures are nothing more than respecting the ancestors and obeying the rules, being innocent, studying hard and so on.

Since then, the pot has been hung.

After getting along for a long time, I learned that my teacher's wife had died early, he hadn't remarried, and his only daughter was married.All the former disciples were driven out by him to set up their own schools.After I became his closed disciple, he dismissed even his servants.

I served him like my own father, and he disciplined me severely, punishing me to kneel down and copy books at every turn, but I gradually developed a father-son relationship with him.He taught me all his medical skills, and never treated me badly, so why not treat me badly?

When a doctor applies medicine and places a needle, it can determine life and death. I have also encountered hardships and dangers.But regardless of whether it was peaceful or not, five years passed by in a flash.Since the fourth year, his body is not as strong as before, he often coughs, and gets tired easily, but he asked me to clean up the Hemu Medical Center in the southwest of Chang'an City and open it for consultation.In front of the medical hall is a pharmacy, across a small yard, there are three wing rooms.I had to run between the medical hall and his mansion.

The day before his death he called me back to his residence.His son-in-law and disciple stood beside his bed with their heads bowed.I knelt beside his bed.His cheeks were sunken, his eyes were no longer clear as before, and he took some things from under the pillow and handed them to me.I looked through the house deed, land deed, and ten taels of silver of Hemu Medical Center.As a human being for the rest of my life, I have had his care and love for five years.I held back my tears during the sourness, and called him respectfully: "Master".

With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to touch my head, opened his mouth and coughed again.The eldest disciple at the side hurriedly helped him, he took a few breaths and said with difficulty: "Good boy."

After that, I stayed in the mansion until his death.When he left, there was a room full of people kneeling, and I was among them, kowtowing heavily along with everyone.Knocking and knocking, tears flowed silently down the cheeks.

After the trellis was erected, he was placed in the main hall.Burn paper and thread joss sticks, burn long-burning lamps, and wear hemp and mourning.I knelt down to meet the mourners during the day, and guarded the spirit at night to protect the incense.Mr. Liang also asked someone to send a sacrificial ceremony.

On the third day of his death, the cypress coffin was sent away in a paper carriage and paper money.The master has no children, and the elder disciple will take the tablet in front of the funeral, and I will carry the coffin.When the coffin is buried by the loess, there will be one less doctor in the world, and one new grave on the ground.Three days after his burial, his tomb was dug up. I read that the deceased had to cross a river in the sky to see the four gods, and the river was not free of feathers.So three paper boats were glued and burned.On the seventh day after his death, Tianyi Sect came to the mansion to pray for salvation.On that day, I and other people gathered around the brazier and burned paper ladders.The burned ashes flew with the wind, I was stunned for a moment, and my heart suddenly became calm.

In the 13th year of Shenglin, in such a daze, I moved to Hemu Medical Center.

On the afternoon of the 15st of the twelfth lunar month in the 21th year of Shenglin, I finished weeding the weeds in the tomb of my master, bought some sesame oil at the store in Caoshi Town where the Hemu Medical Center is located, and went back to worship the Four Gods.The shopkeeper laughed at me: "Li Ping, which one do you like best?"

I smiled back at him: "I like them all, I like them all."

He said: "You should make more offerings to the god of lust, and bless you to get married."

I was a little embarrassed and didn't answer.

At this time, his youngest son ran out from the room, and he shouted, "Go back quickly, so many children have been lost recently, and I lost you, how can your mother spare me?"

And I went back to the hospital with a small backpack on my back.The end of the new year is here, and Renyazi will also celebrate the new year. Many children have been lost in Chang'an City. When Yan Butou, who was in charge of my area, went to Hemu Medical Hall for dinner, he sighed when he said it.

I told him to worship Qishen more, Qishen is in charge of luck, maybe he can find some children.

Almost every household in Maochao worshiped the four gods taught by Tianyi.No matter how impious I am, I also set up four small statues of gods in the wing room.The teaching of Tianyijiao is very strange, "Forgetting the two things and me, the unity of heaven and man".The main altar is located in the inaccessible Uszang, and the four gods of wine, sex, wealth, and energy are worshiped in the religion, and the patterns and flowers are used as records.

What the storyteller likes to talk about most is "Tianyi Sect takes the highest martial arts master as the leader, and the four gods have their own messengers in the world." But because it has nothing to do with me, I don't remember much.

On the evening of the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, I offered the sesame oil to the statues of the four gods.The front bunk door was banged on.I went to the front shop and opened the door. There were two people, one holding the other across their arms, both dressed in black clothes.

The standing man begged me: "Doctor, dig out the Gu worms in his heart."

I was afraid of these strangers, so I asked in a low voice, "What kind of Gu worm, where did you get it?"

The person standing there replied: "In order to save my life, I planted Symbiosis Gu in the Southwest Miao Region after a narrow escape. I never thought that life would be worse than death. Instead of living with this feeling for the rest of my life, it is better for the doctor to dig it out."

I couldn't help it: "This... I can't help it. I only practice medicine and don't harm others. You take him away."

The two of them did not embarrass me and left on their own.

This is the third wave of quacks who asked me to dig out the heart-mouth symbiosis Gu in my two years of practicing medicine.It is written in the "Gu Shu" left by the master that there is a Gu in the southwestern Miao area, and its name is "Symbiosis".The main Gu and the attached Gu reside in two people's bodies separately, and the hosts of the two Gu live the same lifespan.In other words, as long as the main Gu host is alive, the attached Gu host is alive.The master also noted at the bottom of the medical book: If it is not a matter of life and death, the determination will never be found.I asked the master when I saw this, is there really no solution?The master shook his head and said that he had already asked, but he really hadn't.

As for other things about this Gu worm, I haven't seen other books mention it.

When it was time for dinner, I went to the kitchen to cook.No friends come to me today, I just have to be myself.

I am lonely, and after taking over the Hemu Medical Center, I didn't get to know many people well.There are four acquaintances, one is Chu Ming, one is Yan Butou who is in charge here, one is the girl Sang Lan from the next door, and the other is Wei Yan.

Chu Ming is a person with many words and problems.

He is thin and small, and he is my colleague, but he specializes in treating diseases of willows and flowers.The sordid business of the brothel Chuguan is also in order, and the income is huge.When I went to Weihou Mansion to see a doctor for Weihou's concubine Lingxian, he was there.I discussed it with him and found that he is quite accomplished in medical skills.I was taken to the residence by him, and he always came to hang out in the Hemu Medical Hall.Fortunately, although he has the notoriety of "treacherous and nasty", he is honest and friendly when we get along with me.In addition to my own key to the Hemu Medical Center, he also has a key.

When he came over for dinner, he said that I was too honest to ask Wei Hou for a reward.It is rumored that Marquis Wei is the richest man in the world, Marquis Wei's mansion is in the southeast of Chang'an City, Marquis Wei is generous.Chu Ming asked Marquis Wei for a snow-white bird that can recognize specific smells and often plays with me.When I saw a snow-white bird flying in from the Hemu Medical Center, I knew that he was secretly sprinkling special spices on my clothes again.At first I could smell it, then I couldn't, only birds could.He was proud and said that the training of the bird was effective.So under his teasing, I can distinguish many aromas.

Among these fragrances, I like Zhilantang's reassuring fragrance. When I went to the other hall for outpatient visits, I got a little on my clothes.Chu Ming also said it smelled good when he came that day, but it was only one or two, and I was reluctant to buy it.

Chu Ming always complained about the butcher Liu Wu and his wife who lived next door.I've seen Liu Wu, who is as thin and small as Chu Ming, and I thought he was the same person from behind.Liu Wu married a woman who was tall and mighty.Chu Ming recently said that Liu Wu and his wife piled meat in the yard, attracting mosquitoes to disturb his cleanliness.

He went to Sihu, who was in charge of Caoshi town, to join the army Linlin several times for this matter, but he had a bad reputation and always let it go.I asked him to find Butou Yan, but he refused to let him help Butou Yan heal the wounds of the arrester, but Butou Yan despised him, and the two of them never got together for dinner.

Moreover, he is also afraid of children. He drank too much and boasted that he had treated many children.

I suspect that he only treats those who are paid well in brothels and Chuguan, not children.He said that the child had to be treated, but when he was treated, he would think of the bad things about him when he was a child.

I got excited, and he actually showed me a roster.His roster is a bit strange, not only the name and place of origin, but also where he went.I don't even remember such details, but this is the first time I know that he is more careful than me.

Yan Tutou doesn't talk much, and he handles things upright.I never saw him walking around with the people from Dali Temple, so he was not promoted, and he was always a small head catcher in Caoshi Town.

Sang Lan lives next door to me, she is quiet and elegant.I don't see her many times, but sometimes I see patients very late, and before I have time to start the stove, she will ask someone to deliver pastries.

After saving enough consultation money, I want to go to her house to propose marriage.

As for Wei Yan... I got acquainted with him when I rescued him when Shenglin first took over the clinic in 13.He knows martial arts, and he should be very powerful.He said it was great because he was never seriously injured; he said it should be because he often came to the hospital with minor injuries.

And my name is Li Ping, the Li of plum, the ordinary Ping.22 years old this year.As the name suggests, people are ordinary.

In the turbulent Mao Dynasty, I lived in a Hemu medical clinic, thinking about how to save enough money for consultation to marry the girl next door.

Sometimes I get weird consultation fees, but other than that, I live a normal life.
