Chapter 23 Diagnosis and Treatment
"Oh, it turns out that it was Doctor Chen, who was at the lower level. Li Xiao was a cavalry in Zhongtun, Guangning. When the whistle probe fought against the Tartars, both of the brothers were seriously injured. They just spoke inappropriately. Please do not take it to your heart. It is important to save people quickly." Li Xiao smiled and bowed with an anxious look on his face.
"Since you are soldiers from Zhongtun Station, why don't you go back to the hospital for treatment, but come to my place to do it?" Chen Mazi said coldly.
"Doctor, if we want to return to Zhongtun for treatment, it will take more than an hour, so we may miss the treatment. In addition, the treatment level in Zhongtun... Oh, it would be great if we don't care about our lives." Wang Yishou interrupted.
Chen Mazi blinked, looked at Li Xiao up and down coldly, and then said lightly: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it later when you enter the house."
When he came in, Li Xiao saw that the yard was not big, but it was clean and clean. The ground was covered with blue bricks with a color, and more than ten flowers and trees were arranged in it, giving people the impression of being indifferent and elegant.
After passing the ear room, there was the main courtyard, with dozens of pots of flowers and plants in various colors under the eaves of the corridor. On the right is a large pharmacy. Two friends were busy counting the medicinal materials, and the door of the next wing was closed. It was probably where Dr. Chen treated the disease.
Chen Mazi called out to the two guys who were counting herbal medicines, and the two of them immediately came out and gently lifted the unconscious Chen Houzi off the horse.
The two gangs carried Chen Houzi into the wing room, stripped off the armor outside, and placed it carefully on the hospital bed.
Li Xiao saw that Chen Houzi's chest was swollen and his ribs were broken, and his lungs were most likely seriously injured.
Chen Mazi walked forward with a serious look on his face, pinched Chen Houzi's body and limbs, and then tried his breath with his hands. Then he took a silver needle from the shelf next to him and pierced it into Chen Houzi's Renzhong acupoint.
After the silver needle was pierced, Chen Houzi twitched and even called out a few vague words in his mouth.
Chen Mazi nodded slightly, pulled out the silver needle, then turned to Li Xiao and said, "Fortunately, you have not lost your mind yet. In addition, two ribs of this person were broken and his internal organs were seriously injured. This diagnosis and treatment cost a lot."
Li Xiao hurriedly said, "Doctor, Li will pay all the money for diagnosis and treatment. Please make sure to treat my brother well. I want the best medicine."
Chen Mazi sneered: "I will treat the doctor carefully. Why do you need to say too much? Go to the next pharmacy to pay a deposit of 30 taels. After the injury is cured, then calculate the total number."
Li Xiao responded and pulled it into his arms, but his face suddenly lost its color.
Oh no, the more than thirty taels of silver I had originally hidden on my body were placed in my room in the Zhongtun Office, but this time the detective was not brought.
"Medical officer, please help them with treatment first. It will not be too late to pay the deposit when I go back and get the silver coins." Li Xiao said anxiously.
The medical officer glanced at him again, but pondered and said nothing.
Li Xiao was anxious and ran outside, took off the steel tiger knife from the back of Taxue, and rushed into the room.
Seeing Li Xiao breaking in with a knife, Chen Mazi was shocked, and the two men were so scared that they wanted to run around.
"Li Xiao, what are you going to do!" Chen Mazi was shocked and angry.
Li Xiao reacted and knew that his appearance of holding a knife in armor scared them. He quickly leaned the tiger sword against the door and bowed to Chen Mazi, saying, "Doctor, if you don't believe in Li, Li can use this tiger sword as collateral first. This sword was seized for killing the Tartars, made of stainless steel, and is extremely sharp. It is worth a thousand gold. It is now placed at Doctor Chen. When I get a deposit, can I exchange it for this knife again?"
Chen Mazi looked at Li Xiao with an inexplicable complex look, then turned around and looked at Li Xiao's tiger sword standing upright against the wall.
During this siege attack, the tiger swords that cut the heads of two Tartars, with their armored vests, were soaked in freshly. Now, after a long time, the blood stains on the knife have all been scabbed. The dark red patch is so shocking that it looks shocking.
"Okay, just follow what you said." Chen Mazi sighed and said slowly.
"Mr. Li thanked Dr. Chen for understanding." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he comforted Wang Yishou a few more words, and then said goodbye to Chen Mazi.
More than an hour later, Li Xiao rode his horse into the north gate of Zhongtun, Guangning.
What Li Xiao didn't expect was that the fact that he had won 6 Tartar heads had been spread throughout the castle long before he came back.
When the soldiers in the entire Zhongtun Station saw Li Xiao returning from a horse, they looked at him with great respect.
When Li Xiao passed through the camp of Zhongtun Station and returned to the sentry cavalry team, he was even more enthusiastic cheers from the crowd of sentry cavalry.
"Deputy Team, next time I take me with me, I will also chop off a few Tartars' heads and establish a great reputation!"
"Yes, I'm going with the deputy team. If you die, you will never die for thousands of years. Kill the Tartars and get a bounty, it will be worth the rest of your life."
"I killed six or seven people in the deputy team. I can't compete with the deputy team. I'm satisfied if I can kill one or two Tartars."
The whistle-riding riders were shouting, and Li Xiao bowed to everyone with a smile on his face before riding a horse through the crowd.
Li Xiaoben wanted to go straight to his room to take out the thirty silver taels, but saw Gao Pu and Hua Ji walking towards him with a smile.
Li Xiao quickly dismounted and bowed to Gao Pu.
"Li Xiao has met Mr. Bar."
Gao Pu, who had a smile on his face, patted Li Xiao's shoulder affectionately: "I know that you have made great contributions by killing the Tartars, but I don't value these things. It's best for you to return safely."
Li Xiao felt a little excited, so he seized the time to report to Gao Pu briefly, and then told Gao Pu that he would hurry back to Jinzhou and pay the deposit for treatment.
Gao Pu winked at Huaji, and Huaji left quickly. Soon after, he came with a box.
"Li Xiao, there are 50 taels of snowflakes in this box, all of which are some savings I have saved in the past. You can use them to treat Chen Houzi and Wang Yishou." Gao Pu smiled and handed the box to Li Xiao.
"Put it, how does this make..."
"Take it quickly. If you have any extra money, go to Jinzhou to get some wine and meat, so that the brothers of the whistleblower team can enjoy the benefits of you and have a good meal." Gao Pu refused Li Xiao's refusal without hesitation.
Li Xiao solemnly bowed to Gao Pu, put the box in his arms, and turned his back on the horse.
"drive!"
Li Xiao quickly rode his horse away.
Behind the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves was Gao Pu with a happy smile on his face, and Hua Ji with a gloomy expression.
When he returned to Chen Mazi's clinic, Li Xiao saw that Chen Houzi's injuries had been treated. The fall wound on his chest was covered with splints and wrapped them in white cloth very tightly. Chinese medicine doctors have not used gypsum to fix the bones these days, so they had to use splints to fix them. Li Xiao could see that Dr. Chen was indeed good at making the splints very firmly, and his technique was also sophisticated. Although Chen Houzi was still sleeping now, he breathed smoothly and his face was stable, so he should be fine.
At this time, Chen Mazi and two friends were nervously dealing with Wang Yishou's injuries on another bed.
Chen Mazi held a handful of large iron scissors in his hand, first cut out the exposed tail of the arrow, then threw down the iron scissors, grabbed the arrow shaft with his left hand, and held a sharp knife in his right hand. With a bite, he cut apart the flesh at the arrow shaft, and then carefully cut out the steel arrow from the gushing out of the pus and blood.
Li Xiao saw that at this time, Wang Yishou was muttering a bite in his mouth, and a large bead of sweat gushed out of his forehead. His whole body was trembling, and his face was extremely distorted. It was obviously extremely painful. If the two men held his body tightly, Wang Yishou jumped up from the bed in fear of pain.
With a "date", the three-edged steel arrow with a deep blood groove was thrown into a porcelain basin.
"You guy's luck, the arrow of the Tartars is slightly off. Otherwise, your thigh bone will be shot." Chen Mazi asked a guy to help him wipe the sweat off his face and said to Wang Yishou.
Wang Yishou, who had biting objects in his mouth, couldn't speak, and had to nod his head gratefully.
"Get the gold-creating medicine." Chen Mazi said to another guy.
The guy responded and went to the pharmacy next to get the medicine.
Chen Mazi suddenly turned his head and saw Li Xiao who had been watching silently standing behind him.
"Doctor Chen, I've got the deposit." Li Xiao quickly took out the box from his arms and handed it to Chen Mazi.
Chen Mazi signaled to a guy next to him. The guy opened the box and took out only ten taels of silver from the box, and then handed the box back to Li Xiao.
"Doctor Chen, why is this?" Li Xiao didn't understand his intention.
Chen Mazi did not answer him in person, but took the Jinchuang medicine from his friend. While bandaging Wang Yishou, he followed Li Xiao’s story.
It turned out that Chen Mazi was from Liaoyang and opened medical shops in Liaoyang for generations, especially for treating external trauma of swords. Later, in the late Wanli period, Liaoyang was captured by an old slave. Chen Mazi's parents were killed, and his wife was humiliated and died. Only Chen Mazi escaped by chance. Later, he fled to Guangning and reopened the medical shop. Unexpectedly, a few years later, Huang Taiji led his army to annex Guangning City. Chen Mazi fled south again. Before he settled in Jinzhou City, rented the house and opened the medical shop to make a living.
"Over the years, whenever Chen thought of his parents and wives who died tragically under the Tartars' sword, he felt like a knife cut in his heart. The original desire was broken at that time and went with them. However, Yu was really unwilling to accept it in his heart! I always thought that my Ming Dynasty was traversing millions of miles and nearly one million officials, and there would be a chance to defeat the Tartars and cheer up again, and Chen could also return to Liaoyang to pay homage to his parents' first wife. However, so many years have passed, the official army has been defeated one after another, and the Tartars have no choice but to siege the cities and plunder the land. Chen sighed in his heart, I was afraid that it would be difficult to return home in this life."
Li Xiao listened to his murmuring silently, and his heart was heavy.
"I just heard Wang Yishou telling you about your visit to the siege and killed 9 Tartars. Chen was extremely impressed. Li Xiao, I will treat you this time and only charge for medicine. I am a wise man, and the people who died in the hands of the Tartars in order to make the case for Liaodong, thank you for your achievements in killing the Tartars." Chen Mazi said calmly, but his eyes were slightly red.
"Mr. Li, thank you for your kindness." After listening to Chen Mazi's story, Li Xiao solemnly bowed and thanked him.
"Li Xiao, if there are any more whistle cavalry killing the Tartars next time, they will be sent to us. Although Chen has no ability to serve the country, he can do his best to save the heroes who killed the Tartars with all his might, and he is also very comforted."
