Chapter 1 The Langzhong who can't see a doctor
"I've never met a doctor who doesn't know how to treat patients."
"Weren't you able to see a doctor before? Why do you say you can't see a doctor today?"
Several patients gathered around Qiu Wuhen, staring at him with eyes wide as those of cattle, and asked strangely.
"Yes," Qiu Wuhen said seriously, holding his sleeves and shrinking his neck, "I was supposed to be able to see a doctor, but for some reason, when I woke up, I suddenly forgot how to see a doctor. Isn't it strange? I think it's strange too.
, it’s a pity that it’s true.”
Several patients and their family members looked at each other, and then looked at Qiu Wuhen in confusion: "You...you forgot how to treat a doctor after you fell asleep?"
Qiu Wuhen nodded with a bitter look on his face: "I don't want this either, but it's true, so please hire someone else."
Of course, Qiu Wuhen didn't really forget how to treat a doctor. He simply didn't know how to use Chinese medicine to treat a doctor.
Because he traveled through time, and before time travel, he was a forensic doctor, not a Chinese medicine practitioner.
A few days ago, he accidentally traveled to a small village called Mingshan Village in the Ming Dynasty, and possessed the body of a young doctor who died suddenly. The dead scholar he borrowed to resurrect his soul was his son-in-law, and the woman who interrupted the door was named Su.
A big family in the capital hired him as a wife because he believed that a fortune teller said that he, a poor scholar, would become a high-ranking official in the future. Unexpectedly, the business went bankrupt and he lost all his money. He sold his property and shops to pay off debts. The Su family master was so angry that he died, leaving only
The eight weak girls in the family returned to their ancestral home in the south to live.
Because the father-in-law had read some medical books, the Su family had to make a living, so the Su family converted the front yard of the old house into a small pharmacy to treat people. Unfortunately, the scholar managed to cure people to death for some reason. The Su family was really trying to lose money by selling iron.
The poor scholar was so embarrassed that he was able to avoid a lawsuit. The poor scholar was so ashamed that he hung himself from a rope. The forensic doctor traveled through time and was able to revive the corpse.
It's a pity that he is a forensic doctor who only treats dead people and does not understand traditional Chinese medicine. Although he studied "Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine" in college, it was only superficial and could not be used to treat patients at all.
The reason why he agreed to come out to see a doctor on this day was because he already knew that this drug store was the only source of livelihood for the nine members of the Su family, and the entire Su family were all female prostitutes who could not go out to make money.
Besides, no one knows medicine except him.
Because it is too remote, there is no other choice. When villagers encounter diseases, they can only come to his medicine shop. In the past few days, he has been sick in bed with excuses, and patients have come to his house to see him for treatment. The family is so poor that they can't open the door.
In order to make a living, and because the patient’s family members were struggling, I had no choice but to get out of bed and sit in the hall.
He thought it was just headaches, fever, diarrhea, and after seven years of studying Western medicine, he could handle it. But sitting in the drug store, he realized that Chinese medicine and Western medicine were completely different. He might be able to use Western medicine to treat people's colds.
He has no idea how to use Chinese medicine to treat people with minor illnesses like this, because he basically doesn’t recognize these decoctions and can’t even take medicine.
So, he decided to admit that he didn't understand Chinese medicine, so as not to delay other people's illness. However, the excuse was that he forgot it when he woke up, and he didn't know why such an excuse suddenly came up.
These villagers didn't believe it at all. How could the doctor who had been taking good care of the patients stop treating patients overnight? They all thought he was joking, but he didn't look serious and didn't look like he was joking, which made them confused again.
The little fat man Niu Shuitan was only sixteen or seventeen years old this year. He said to Qiu Wuhen naively: "My father also wants me to come to your pharmacy as an apprentice to learn to treat doctors. You don't know how to treat doctors, so what should I do? I
Dad asked me to take this piece of large intestine as an apprenticeship ceremony, will I give it to you?"
As he spoke, he held up a hanging pig intestine, which was slick with oil.
Qiu Wuhen looked at it and swallowed hard for a lifetime.
Before the time travel, he would never have looked at this thing, it was disgusting, but these days after time travel, he ate chaff and drank wild vegetable soup every day, and his eyes turned green when he saw the meat stars, not to mention this whole pig intestine.
Qiu Wuhen rolled his eyes and said, "Are you coming to study medicine? Well, just wait..."
As soon as I said this, I heard a sick woman sitting on the bench next to her clutching her stomach and groaning in pain. Cold sweat on her forehead was as big as a soybean, and she was wailing intermittently: "I... I have a stomachache, Qiu Langzhong"
, you... stop bragging, quickly... show me quickly, I'm in so much pain... I'm about to die..."
His husband also anxiously said to Qiu Wuhen: "Yes, Mr. Qiu, please show my wife."
"I really forgot, I'm not lying to you. - I've heard of people forcing mothers into prostitution, but I've never heard of people forcing people to see doctors. You'd better find another doctor."
The sick woman's mother-in-law also said next to her: "You are the only pharmacy in these four miles and eight villages. Unless you go to the county town, my daughter-in-law has such a stomachache that she will die on the road before she can reach the county town. Qiu
Doctor, stop joking, she is almost dying of pain, please give her some medicine as soon as possible."
Others echoed the instructions and urged him to seek medical treatment quickly.
Qiu Wuhen thought about how poor his family was. Seeing that the opportunity to make money was right in front of him, there was no reason to push it out. After all, he was studying medicine. Although he was a Western medicine doctor, he might be able to understand some Chinese medicine while practicing. He would first treat the disease.
Well, as long as it's not a serious illness that's fatal, I might be able to think of a way, which is better than these villagers who don't understand medicine.
He was about to find a medical skill and come over to look through it. At this time, a lean man sat on a long bench, rubbed his feet and said: "This is the third time I have come to collect a debt. You must pay this debt today."
, If you don’t pay it back, I will take the medicinal materials from your pharmacy to pay it back.”
This man is a medicine farmer in the village. He goes up the mountain to collect medicines. Because he is very agile when climbing cliffs to collect medicines, he is nicknamed Iron Kitten.
Qiu Wuhen already knew him, and he had come here twice to collect debts in the past few days. This was because their pharmacy bought medicinal materials from the other party but never paid back the debt on credit.
The old woman wanted Qiu Wuhen to help her daughter-in-law see a doctor, so she spoke for Qiu Wuhen and said to Tie Yaozi who was asking for debt: "I said you can't do this. If you take away the medicinal materials, how can Qiu Langzhong treat her daughter-in-law?"
He will definitely be able to pay you back. Don't underestimate him. Although he is the son-in-law recruited by the Su family, he is not an ordinary person. He is a scholar. And I have long heard from the Su family that Zhang Banxian in the capital told fortunes that Qiu Lang would be the best.
He should be a general or a prime minister, with a first-class official position. Otherwise, why would the Su family, a big family, hire a poor scholar like him? You must not offend the future prime minister!"
Tie Yaozi curled his lips: "The Su family is a big family? That was in the past. Ever since I hired this poor scholar, my business has lost everything... Hehe, let's not talk about it anymore. I'm here to collect debts, not to expose other people's shortcomings."
Qiu Wuhen asked Tie Yaozi: "How much money do we owe you for the goods?"
"The total including principal and interest is zero, two hundred and thirty-one cents. If you can pay me back today, I won't give up even a cent. How about that?"
"Don't worry, it's only natural to pay back your debts, but it's not available right now. If you can extend it for two days, I will definitely pay you back with interest."
After all, I traveled through time and mastered knowledge that was five hundred years ahead of this era. How could I make money?
But Tie Yaozi shook his head and said: "No, these medicinal materials were dug up from the mountain by me and a few neighbors. We all worked so hard and exhausted, but we still can't get any money. Your doctor and his family need to live, and so do we medicine farmers."
Yes."
Seeing that the creditor was pressing for debt, Qiu Wuhen had no choice but to look up books and seek medical treatment. He decided to take the Thirty-Six Strategies first, so he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I just ate the wrong thing and my stomach hurts.
I have to go to the hut."
"Don't run away. I won't leave unless I pay the debt today." Tie Yaozi said coldly.
"Who ran away? My home is here, where should I run?"
Qiu Wuhen walked towards the back door. After taking a few steps, suddenly, there was a burst of electricity in his head.
In the past few days, this kind of electric sound often appeared in his head, and now it happened again. However, after the sound, there was a medicine gourd in his head. It looked a bit old and crooked, and the gourd was still tied.
A bright yellow ribbon.
A line of words is currently displayed on the gourd: "Treat the patient, I can help you."
