Bai Shan's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "There is very little salt. As you know, we can only bring enough salt for us to eat. But we brought some tea..."

So the two parties got closer and stood on the hillside to talk.

The herdsmen wanted to buy some tea with them, but some people kept looking at the basket on Zhou Man's back. The leader of the herdsmen couldn't help but ask: "Is there a doctor in your caravan who knows about herbal medicine?"

Man Bao smiled and said: "Yes, I know some medical skills. What, do you have any patients?"

"You are a doctor? Then do you know the prescription for treating smallpox? I heard that Xiazhou put the prescription on the city gate."

Man Bao: ...It’s true that the city gate is not posted, but it has never been concealed, and will be promoted to the officials.

After all, this is medicine, and it must be seen by a doctor before taking it. Otherwise, the prescription will be posted and anyone can write it down. If you get sick later, you will not see the doctor. You will judge the condition by yourself and take the medicine yourself. If you take the wrong medicine,

what to do?

Manbao asked them: "Do you still have smallpox patients?"

Seeing that they were not afraid when they heard about smallpox, for some reason, the herdsman became convinced of them. He said: "No, but we want prescriptions. The gods said that if smallpox happened once, it will definitely happen again next year."

It relapses, so we want to prepare some medicinal materials in advance."

After all, no one knows whether the imperial court will send them medicine next year. Even if it does, they don’t know whether it will be enough, and it will always waste a lot of time.

Last year, someone got sick in the twelfth lunar month, but the medicinal materials were not delivered until the first lunar month. Many people in their tribe died, and the effect of taking the medicine was not very good. They all said that it was because it was taken too late.

If you take medicine, you will definitely be cured a lot.

The herdsmen stared at Zhou Man with sharp eyes. At this sight, some of them felt that something was wrong, and a young man from behind squeezed up and whispered in the ear of the leader.

The leading herdsman couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Manbao.

Man Bao and Bai Shan were a little nervous when he saw them, and they couldn't help but tighten their hands. Da Ji quietly stepped forward and stood on the other side of Man Bao, only half a step behind them.

"You..." the herdsman looked Zhou Man up and down, and finally landed on her eyes, "Do you know someone named Zhou Liang?"

When Bai Shan heard that his surname was Zhou, he turned to Man Bao and asked, "Do you know him?"

Man Bao: "...my fourth brother, don't you know him?"

The herdsman's eyes lit up, he said "Oh!" and shouted: "So you are brother Zhou's sister. I know you. Brother Zhou said you are an imperial doctor, a doctor who specializes in treating the emperor. You are very powerful."

Man Bao's eyes also lit up and he said in surprise: "You know my fourth brother."

"I know you, I know you. He bought a lot of furs and cattle from our tribe the year before last and last year, and sold us a lot of tea and porcelain." The herdsman relaxed and asked curiously: "Aren't you an imperial doctor?"

Man Bao nodded and said, "Yes, but now I am out on a study tour, and you want a prescription for smallpox, but do you know how to diagnose smallpox?"

Man Bao changed the topic and said to them: "It is easy to confuse smallpox with common acne and high fever. The early stage is particularly important. You cannot take the wrong medicine. You must first learn to judge whether it is smallpox before you can use smallpox medicinal materials."

The herdsmen listened attentively, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Can you teach us? We can give you money."

Man Bao thought about it and then smiled and said: "I don't want money. Do you know about the wild antelopes on the grassland?"

The herdsmen all shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

"Do you want sheep? We have them. As many as you want, we will give them to you."

Manbao paused for a moment and then said: "I just want the wild antelope."

She looked at Bai Shan, who took out a small notebook and a very thin pen from his arms. The pen had a rope connected to a small bamboo tube one finger long.

He opened the bamboo tube and handed it to Man Bao, who held it for him. He opened the pen and dipped it in some ink, then started drawing on the book. After a while, a vivid wild antelope appeared on the paper.

He showed it to the herdsmen.

The herdsmen said "Ah" and said, "We know this. There are a lot of wild sheep over there. They are too thin and not tasty. They are not as delicious as the sheep we raise."

The herdsmen highly recommended the sheep they raised and said that if Zhou Man was willing to teach them, they would be willing to give her a lot of sheep as a reward.

Man Bao laughed and said, "I'm not here to eat, I want to use them for research, so I want them alive. Can you help me catch two live antelopes?"

"We caught the antelope, are you willing to teach us how to identify smallpox?"

Man Bao nodded.

The herdsman patted his chest in response, and then led them down the hillside, "You go see our clan leader."

There are witches in their tribe, so they can't learn this kind of thing, but the shaman and the clan leader should be able to learn it, they are smart.

Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded and rode with them toward the tribe that had already walked a distance.

The leader of the tribe was waiting. He had received the report earlier, so he let them go first, and he took a few people behind.

He was a little wary at first, but when he saw them standing on the hillside talking from a distance, they didn't look like they were going to fight, and there were only three of them, so he relaxed and didn't rush to leave, just slowly.

and the tribesmen strolled forward slowly.

When he saw them coming down, he stopped with his men.

A herdsman ran at the front, dismounted his horse and whispered to him first. When Manbao and the others arrived, the patriarch had already raised his smile and greeted him enthusiastically.

The patriarch looked to be in his forties, with a thick beard that covered half of his face. Man Bao and Bai Shan also subconsciously respected him more because of his age.

Both parties are interested in each other, and the communication is very smooth.

So the migration was temporarily stopped, and they planned to camp on the spot. The herders set up the big tent at an extremely fast speed, and Wu quickly brought two children over.

The patriarch enthusiastically introduced their shamans in Chinese and Manbao, and then spoke to the shamans in their tribal language: "This Miss Zhou is Zhou Lang's sister, the imperial physician who treated the emperor. You and she learned how to treat smallpox."

You must learn all your skills."

Although he spoke fast and was a little different from the Hu they learned, he still understood 70% to 80% of Man Bao and Bai Shan:...

The two of them were silent.

The herdsmen on the side hesitated and wanted to tell the patriarch that they could speak nonsense, but it seemed too late to tell them at this time, and it might embarrass the patriarch, so they became distressed, not knowing whether they should say it or not.

The clan leader didn't give them a chance. After talking to Wu, he stared at Zhou Man with bright eyes and said, "You can teach me now."

Wu smiled politely at Man Bao. He looked much younger than the clan leader, only twenty-four or five years old. He looked about the same age as Yang Heshu.

His Chinese was even better than that of the clan leader. He bowed slightly and saluted Man Bao before introducing himself: "My name is Gu Lu."

Bai Shan took the opportunity to ask: "My name is Bai Shan, I don't know the name of the noble tribe yet."
