Chapter 33 Zhong Kui, Don't Die
"Shenwei, where are you going? Why are you so panicked?" Zhang Xuanqing left Zuixiang Tower and just returned to the clinic. Before entering the door, he saw Liu Shenwei running out in panic and asked.
Liu Shenwei looked happy: "Uncle Master is back!" He grabbed Zhang Xuanqing's arm and said hurriedly: "Uncle Master comes with me quickly. A patient who was scratched by a tiger just now came. I can't deal with it. I'm about to go find Master. You are back. Come with me and have a look!"
Zhang Xuanqing knew it in his heart. No wonder Liu Shenwei was so anxious. In ancient times, medical equipment was not good, and trauma was generally infected. Even if Sun Simiao was hygienic, it would be useless.
Moreover, after the war era, Huayuan County is not a big county, and it can't handle several external injuries throughout the year. At least Zhang Xuanqing hasn't seen it in the past two months, no wonder Liu Shenwei is so at a loss.
When I entered the clinic, I saw a mighty man leaning against the desk, with claw marks on his back, some deep and some shallow.
Although Liu Shenwei was panicked, he treated the wound of the man. He apart from the clothes on the man's upper body, a few silver needles were inserted on the acupoints on his back, Jianjing, Yuguan and other acupoints, which was used to stop bleeding.
The big man heard the footsteps of the two, stood up and turned around, revealing an extremely ugly strange face, clasped his fists and said, "I've seen two Taoist priests. The Taoist priest, is this Taoist priest your master? I wonder if this injury can be cured?"
Liu Shenwei waved his hand quickly: "No, this is my uncle, my master has not come back yet. Don't worry, Mr. Zhong, uncle is extraordinary in medical skills and is higher than his master. Your injuries are unhindered, unhindered."
Zhang Xuanqing was a little confused at this time. The other party said what his name was? Zhong... Zhong Kui? After a careful look at the man, he found that he had a leopard head and a ringed eyes, iron face and curly hair, and looked ugly. Then he looked at the chopping board in front of the man. He was wearing a literati uniform, broken and damaged, covered with blood.
At this time, Liu Shenwei stabbed him: "Uncle Master, what's wrong with you? Let's show this young master quickly."
"Oh, oh." Zhang Xuanqing came to his senses and said to Liu Shenwei: "You go to my bedroom first and bring the iron box in the cabinet."
"Yes!" Liu Shenwei blinked and suddenly remembered that when he was cleaning up the room for Zhang Xuanqing a month ago, he saw an extra iron box in Zhang Xuanqing's room, and he didn't know what to do. At that time, Zhang Xuanqing didn't say anything, just let him put it up, which would be useful in the future. Could it be that he was specially dealing with trauma?
When Liu Shenwei went to the backyard to pick up things, Zhang Xuanqing walked to Zhong Kui and said with a little curiosity: "Your name is Zhong Kui? I don't know where you are?" He then checked Zhong Kui's back. Fortunately, the wound was not too deep, and there was only one part of his back. It was fine as long as it was disinfected and rinsed, and there was no need for surgery.
Zhong Kui answered questions and answered questions. Although he was injured, his voice was not weak at all. Ru Hong Zhong: "Return to Taoist Master, the surname Zhong, Kui, the name is Zhengnan, and he is a person in Zhongnan Mountain. He left home for a few months ago to study. Later, he heard that Your Majesty was going to open a tribute and returned to Chang'an immediately. Unexpectedly, he passed by the forest outside Gui County and was attacked by a tiger. After a fierce battle, although he killed the tiger, he also injured his body. When he came to Gui County, he heard that your Jishitang is the highest medical skills in this county, and there are even land gods who come to seek medical treatment."
Zhang Xuanqing: “…”
So are the land gods talking about themselves?
Wait, this doesn't matter. What's important is that this person is Zhong's name and Kui's name are Zhengnan, and he is from Zhongnan Mountain. Is he really that Zhong Kui?
According to legend, there was indeed a Zhong Kui in the Tang Dynasty. He was outstanding in his youth. During the Wude period, he went to the capital to take the exam, but was defeated because of his ugly appearance and was killed in the palace stairs. When the emperor heard about it, he gave him a red official robe and was buried. During the Tianbao period, Emperor Ming of Tang, Li Longji, after he was taught martial arts in Mount Li in Lintong, he occasionally suffered from spleen disease, but he could not be cured for a long time. One night, he dreamed of a great man with a magnificent appearance, caught a ghost, and then ate him. The man claimed that he was "I failed the Jinshi in the palace examination, Zhong Kui". The emperor woke up from his dream and recovered immediately... But it was wrong. There were not even immortals. How could there be ghosts and gods in this world!
Zhang Xuanqing frowned and thought carefully. It was not necessary to say that Sun Simiao's name was small at all. He was also a medicine prince in later generations, and he was considered a god. However, his medical skills were completely derived from Sun Simiao's life, which was different from Zhong Kui. There was no legend when Zhong Kui was alive, but he died. He was actually said to be a celestial master who caught ghosts and ate ghosts. Is it spread rumors or is there any other secret?
At this moment, Liu Shenwei walked in through the back door, held a white iron box, and came to Zhang Xuanqing: "Uncle Master, I'll get what you want back for you."
Zhang Xuanqing came back from his thoughts and agreed, "Yeah, let's leave it down." After Liu Shenwei put the iron box on the desk, he opened it.
This box is the medical box of later generations, but Zhang Xuanqing painted the red cross in the middle, which contained alcohol, gauze, gloves, etc.
When the box was completely opened and the things inside were exposed, Liu Shenwei screamed: "Ah! This... this is..." The bottle containing alcohol inside was crystal clear and shiny, which was the glass bottle of later generations. However, Zhang Xuanqing lifted the wrapping paper outside, which made it even more smooth and translucent, like a treasure.
Liu Shenwei was inexplicably excited, grabbed Zhang Xuanqing's arm and shouted: "Uncle Master, are you pretending to be the immortal medicine and divine water?"
Zhong Kui also had a slightly moved expression at this time. He originally didn't believe that the county people said that there were land gods in this clinic. In his opinion, at best, the doctors in the clinic were just skilled in their medical skills. Now, seeing the alcohol bottle in the medicine box, he couldn't help but believe it a little in his heart.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Zhang Xuanqing's mouth twitched slightly: He just couldn't find a bottle of alcohol in Datang, so he used a glass bottle directly. Did he change to a porcelain bottle without seeing Yunnan Baiyao?
It turned out that after he finally obtained the "medical qualification", he was preventing patients with trauma and had prepared red medicine, Yunnan Baiyao, etc. If he hadn't done surgery, he might have dared to buy all surgical instruments and suture equipment.
However, based on the principle of caution, Zhang Xuanqing was unwilling to expose too much in this world. He found a porcelain bottle in ancient times for anything with simplified Chinese characters and trademarks. However, alcohol was too easy to evaporate, so he could not find anything to replace glass bottles in ancient times, so he used glass bottles directly.
At Liu Shenwei, Zhong Kui and the others laughed dryly. Zhang Xuanqing picked up the alcohol bottle and said casually: "It's not a fairy medicine or divine water, it's just 'alcohol' for disinfection. There are many bacteria in the air we breathe, and the wounds are easily infected when they come into contact with those bacteria. I think this alcohol is the essence of refining alcohol and is useful for sterilization. Apart from this, there is nothing strange." As he said that, Zhong Kui was lying on the desk and cleaned and disinfected the wound on his back.
Zhong Kui was very obedient and immediately lay on the table when he heard this. Zhang Xuanqing opened the cap of the alcohol bottle and looked at Zhong Kui's back. There were not many, but there were five wounds in total. The rest were nothing, and the wound in the middle was the deepest. After thinking about it, he poured the alcohol directly on the wound in the middle.
Then……
"Ah--" Zhong Kui screamed and howled ghosts and wolves, which attracted the attention of passers-by on the street outside the clinic.
Then, the scream stopped abruptly. Looking at Zhong Kui again, his eyes rolled, his face turned pale, and he fainted from pain.
Liu Shenwei: "..."
Zhang Xuanqing: “…”
Damn it!
What's going on?
Liu Shenwei's face turned a little pale, and he carefully pulled Zhang Xuanqing, pointed at Zhong Kui and said, "Uncle...he...he...he...wouldn't die, right?"
"How is that possible!" Zhang Xuanqing's face twitched, and he grabbed Zhong Kui's wrist and took his pulse with a dry smile, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not dead, I just fainted from the pain. Well... Alcohol disinfection hurts a little, I forgot to say it before, that's it!"
"Haha... that's good, that's good." Liu Shenwei laughed repeatedly, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Seeing Zhang Xuanqing pouring the so-called "alcohol" on Zhong Kui's back, Liu Shenwei retreated, retreated again and again... until he moved out of the clinic gate, he shouted: "Master, come back quickly!" Saya ran away and hurried to find Sun Simiao.
One is that he is afraid that Zhong Kui will die and Zhang Xuanqing will kill people to silence him. The other is that he is afraid that Zhong Kui will be killed by Zhang Xuanqing even if he is not dead at once.
Zhang Xuanqing: “…”
When Sun Simiao was dragged by Liu Shenwei from the brothel, Zhong Kui's wound had been bandaged by Zhang Xuanqing, but the person had not yet woken up.
Sun Simiao stared at Zhong Kui's face and glanced at him a few times, confirming that although his complexion was pale, he was not dead yet, proving that he was still alive. He then breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhang Xuanqing on the side, saying, "Brother Dao, I came back just now, and I didn't say anything. Can you tell me what's wrong?"
Zhang Xuanqing glared at Liu Shenwei a few times. "Bao, you are so kind to him. You were still holding him to practice medicine together. How big is it to tell the parents? You smiled dryly and said to Sun Simiao: "Brother Dao, don't worry, it's actually nothing big..."
I explained the principle of alcohol antivirus, and then analyzed it carefully to Sun Simiao, saying that although alcohol antivirus was painful, it would not make people faint. It was just that Zhong Kui lost too much blood and his spirit was always tense, which led to his inability to stand the pain and coma... Anyway, he would not admit that this was his mistake!
Perhaps Zhang Xuanqing had a strong position in Sun Simiao's heart. After hearing this, Sun Simiao immediately believed it and turned to scold Liu Shenwei who was hiding behind him, saying, "Tell me, it's fine if you do things roughly, why dare to doubt Brother Dao?"
Liu Shenwei looked aggrieved and said, "Master... it's not what you said... I'm going to find you if there is something that cannot be solved..."
"But brother, have you solved it?" Sun Simiao glared at him.
