Chapter 45: Seeking Medicine and Asking for Medicine

Cuimei Mountain is located in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture. The mountain is less than 300 feet high and is only one mile in radius. Most of the surrounding houses are houses of civilians. Ma Ruhai chose the site here, one is the place where the place is remote and quiet, and the other is surrounded by ordinary people. Mei Jiutong followed Guo Rong's reminder and led the horse to the southwest direction of the mountain for a while, and saw a thatched hut standing on the hillside. Mei Jiutong turned around and said to Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun, "Brother Le, Lai girl, I guess this is the residence of Doctor Ma." Lai Jiyun smiled slightly and helped Le Yiyang dismount.

Mei Jiutong tied the horse under the big tree in front of the house, walked to the light door in front of the hut, and asked, "Is Doctor Ma at home? I'm in Kaifeng Mansion asking for a visit." The house was silent. Mei Jiutong knocked on the door again, but no one responded. Le Yiyang said softly, "Brother Mei, Doctor Ma may not be at home." Mei Jiutong saw that it was too late and said anxiously, "How is this good? Brother Le, it seems that this trip has been in vain." Le Yiyang looked around and said, "It may not be the case. Doctor Ma should come back tonight. We can wait for him here first." After that, Lai Jiyun helped him sit on the stone bench at the door.

Mei Jiutong was uneasy, and then stood up and looked up and down the mountain. He saw a hurried black shadow floating from the bottom of the mountain. The man walked straight towards the hut, and Mei Jiutong became alert instinctively. When the man approached, Mei Jiutong realized that it was Guo Rong. Mei Jiutong asked, "Guard Guo, why are you here too?" Guo Rong took a deep breath and replied calmly: "Mr. Mei, I walked in a hurry. I forgot to tell you that Ma Ruhai has always had a lot of prejudice against people in the government. I was worried that when he saw you, he would not treat Young Master Le. So as soon as he left the palace, I rushed over."

Mei Jiutong smiled and said, "This miracle Doctor Ma is really strange. He actually has this habit. I wonder how we offended him?" Guo Rong said, "I don't know much about this. I came with my father to treat the disease next two years ago to know that this happened." He heard them mutter for a long time and interrupted, "Mr. Guo, since miracle Doctor Ma does not treat the disease for the sake of an official, it will be useless for you to come here."

When Guo Rong heard her words, he turned around and said, "Miss I don't know that Ma Ruhai had a holiday with the government in his early years and vowed not to treat the people in the government. But his father, who is now the one who stayed in Taiyuan, is an official in the court, but he is a great hero who stands tall and upright. Ma Ruhai admired my father's character, so he agreed to treat him. He once met with Doctor Ma, and hoped that he could cure his injuries this time." Lai Ji Yun turned around and smiled at Guo Rong and said, "Mr. Guo, I will lend you auspicious words."

Le Yiyang sat on a stone stool, stood up and said to Guo Rong, "Mr. Guo, thank you for coming for me. I am grateful." Seeing that he looked haggard, Guo Rong drove him forward and helped him sit down and said, "Young Master Le, don't move. If you didn't stand up and expose Tuoba Jiyu's identity, we almost misunderstood that it was the Khitan. Mr. Le sacrificed himself to rescue the girl despite Tuoba Jiyu's threat. He also admired her very much. When Doctor Ma comes back later, I will ask him to treat your internal injuries no matter what." Guo Rong said these words sincerely, and Mei Jiutong and Lai Jiyun were all moved.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a man's voice coming from behind: "It's dark and quiet, who's making noise at the door of the old man?" Everyone was shocked and looked back. An old man in his sixties stood there with his back on his back, wearing a straw hat on his head and holding a torch in his hand. The old man stared at these people with his gray beard dragged on his chest and swung back and forth as he breathed.

Mei Jiutong heard what the man said just now and knew that he was Ma Ruhai. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Mei Jiutong in Kaifeng Prefecture, pay homage to Dr. Ma." As soon as he said, he thought of what Guo Rong said, and thought of him in his heart. Ma Ruhai looked at him, ignored him, and walked to the door with a torch to open the iron lock. Mei Jiutong glanced at Guo Rong, shrugged, and shook his head helplessly.

Guo Rong smiled slightly, walked forward, and said, "Doctor Ma, here Guo Rong, a friend here was seriously injured. I hope you can help him with mercy." Ma Ruhai originally wanted to close the door, but then looked at the two sitting on the stone bench, and turned to Guo Rong and said, "Young Master Guo, you should know my rules. I used to treat Lord Guo, but I have made an exception." Guo Rong's lips moved slightly, and I don't know how to reply to Ma Ruhai. Seeing that Guo Rong was powerless, Le Yiyang said, "Mr. Guo, since Doctor Ma refused to treat him, we will not disturb him."

After hearing this, Ma Ruhai remained indifferent and closed the door. Lai Ji Yunfei was in front of him and blocked the door panel with his hands. Ma Ruhai was stunned and said, "Miss, what do you mean?" Lai Ji Yun said, "Doctor Ma, why are you so unreasonable? An old saying goes: Doctors are kind-hearted. You doctors will naturally not forget the words "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" that are said to be covered with heaven and earth, and everything is ready. No one is more valuable than people. It is natural for the doctor to treat people's diseases, so why do you refuse in every way?"

When Doctor Ma saw that the woman was young, she brought out the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" to talk about the matter, she was already secretly amazed, but she still replied coldly: "The girl is unreasonable. I made a rule more than ten years ago not to treat people in the public. Over the years, there have been no less than a thousand people who have retreated. Everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture knows this rule. I guess you are not a local, right?"

Lai Jiyun thought to himself: "This Ma Ruhai is very stubborn, not more than a provocation method." So he said: "I am very clumsy and I have never seen a doctor like you. I am afraid that he is a miracle doctor, but I am afraid he is just bragging." But Ma Ruhai was calm and still said that she refused to agree to treat Le Yiyang's injury. Lai Jiyun's provocation method was not effective, so he had to beg: "Doctor Ma, I just said that it was not intentional, please treat Master Le's injury. He was injured by the Dangxiang Tartars to save me." Seeing that she was sincere and her eyes were blurred, Ma Ruhai knew that what she said was true, and said: "Girl, you said this young master was injured by Dangxiang people, how do you say this?"

Seeing that things were turning around, Ma Ruhai sighed and said in a concise way. After hearing this, he sighed: "So that's the case. I used to think that you two are either constables or imperial guards, so I was very negligent. Come and help the young master into the house." He also said to Mei Jiutong and Guo Rong: "Two masters, the humble house is so simple. If you don't dislike it, please bring the door with you when you come in." After hearing this, the two were overjoyed and thanked him.

Le Yiyang said to Lai Ji Yun, "Yun'er, thank you." Lai Ji Yun murmured, "Brother Yang, don't say that. If it weren't for you, I might have died now." After that, he helped him up and walked into the house.

Everyone entered the room and saw that there were medicinal materials piled up in it except for a bed, a set of tables, stools and a pot. Ma Ruhai asked everyone to sit down, put the eleven bundles of fresh fine grass from it, put the herbs on the ground and dry them, and said, "You are laughing. I went up the mountain at noon this day, and I have only harvested such a little herbs until now." Mei Jiutong and Guo Rong looked at each other and did not answer silently. Lai Jiyun said, "Doctor Ma, Cuimei Mountain is too small. If you go to my hometown Luzhou, there will naturally be endless herbs there."

Ma Ruhai brought out a porcelain cup filled with clear water and handed it to everyone, saying, "The humble house is so ugly, I can only ask you to drink water." Everyone thanked him quickly. Ma Ruhai turned around and said to Lai Ji Yun, "Miss Lai is from Luzhou? OK. But Luzhou and Daizhou are both sad places for me."

Le Yiyang drank a sip of water and heard him talk about his hometown Taiyuan. He stood up and said, "Doctor Ma has been to Daizhou? To be honest, I am from Daizhou." Ma Ruhai replied, "Old's hometown is Luzhou. He worked as a doctor in the Daizhou military camp fourteen years ago. Later, he left because of the incident. He has never returned for so many years." Le Yiyang said softly, "So that's the case. I didn't expect that Dr. Ma and Daizhou are quite destined to be together. I don't know why they came to the capital later?" Ma Ruhai said, "This is all in the past. It's better not to mention it now. Young Master, please relax first, and I will check your injuries first." Le Yiyang then remembered that he was injured.

Ma Ruhai successively conducted four examinations for Le Yiyang. These four examinations were from the "Ancient and Modern Medical System": "The four words "Look, Listen, Question, and Check" are truly the medical program." The so-called "Look, Listen, Question, and Check" refers to observing the complexion; "When hearing, poem refers to listening to sound and smelling smell; question refers to asking about symptoms; cleavage refers to touching the pulse. Ma Ruhai is a miraculous doctor of a generation. Through the four examinations for looking, listening, asking, questioning, knowing about his injuries by eight or nine parts, and said: "Young Master is injured by someone's internal force, and the true qi in your body is dispersed and difficult to gather. Now the acupuncture points of all the meridians above the Dantian are extremely unobstructed, which is amazing." Le Yiyang replied: "Dr. Ma, at the beginning of his injury, he closed the acupuncture points by himself, and the true qi can be preserved in his body. Now, two hours have passed, the acupuncture points have been recovered by itself."

Ma Ruhai said: "Although this is the case, the young master's true qi is difficult to transport freely in a short time. It still needs to take several pairs of Chinese medicine for several days." After hearing this, Lai Ji Yun asked: "Doctor Ma, what do you mean is that Mr. Le's injury is not serious?" Ma Ruhai stood up and replied: "If ordinary people suffer such strong internal injuries, their five internal organs will have been damaged. It is amazing that this young master is now intact."

Lai Ji Yun was overjoyed and held Le Yiyang's hand and said, "Brother Yang, have you heard it? Doctor Ma said that you will have a few days to rest for your injury." After hearing this, Le Yiyang sat down and felt that in addition to the faint pain in his abdomen, he could freely control the true qi in his body. Le Yiyang remembered that he had turned bad luck into good luck several times in the past few days, and he relied on the true qi that his father had previously sent him to him to protect his body. Now that his father is no longer in the world, Le Yiyang couldn't help but cry.
