[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

It was the end of June when Cao Cao put Hua Tuo in prison.

Previously, I had to say that the reason why Cao Cao was obsessed with Hua Tuo originated from Chen Deng.

Chen Dengben was someone Cao Cao trusted very much.Chen Deng's father once prevented Lv Bu from marrying Yuan Shu. When Chen Deng met Cao Cao at the order of Lv Bu, he said that Lv Bu is brave and has no plans.Therefore, Cao Cao immediately appointed Chen Deng as the prefect of Guangling, cooperated with him inside and outside, and took Lu Bu down.

Later Chen Deng got sick and asked Hua Tuo to come for diagnosis and treatment.Shi Huatuo said: "After the third stage of the disease, it will occur. If you meet a good doctor, you can save it." As a result, the disease recurred three years later, and Chen Deng died immediately.

Chen Deng's death shocked the whole world. While lamenting this disease, the world boasted that Hua Tuo was the only miracle doctor in the world.

When Cao Cao heard about it, he naturally wanted to invite him here.

In fact, Cao Cao had a bad head.Occasionally, the disease occurs, and the palpitation and dizziness are very uncomfortable.However, after calling Hua Tuo to acupuncture, Cao Cao found that it was really effective.

He ordered Hua Tuo to always be around, and later appointed Hua Tuo as his exclusive doctor.

It’s just that Hua Tuo didn’t like to be restrained on the one hand; on the other hand, he was also a scholar, who was heavily influenced by Confucianism, and hated Cao Cao, who was coercing the emperor to make the world; third, Cao Cao’s disease was an old disease, which was extremely difficult to cure.

Therefore, Hua Tuo often returned home on the grounds of homesickness.

Before that, Cao Cao was happy to win over Hua Tuo, the genius doctor, and it didn't matter if Yu Hua Tuo returned home several times.It's just that since the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, the headaches have become more frequent, so I thought of Hua Tuo and hurriedly summoned him.

However, Hua Tuo could not leave because of his wife's serious illness.

Cao Cao was almost furious!He immediately sent someone to check and found that Hua Tuo's wife was really pretending to be sick.So Hua Tuo was arrested and thrown into Xudu prison.

When Cao Zhi knew about this, Xun Yuyu and Guo Jia went ahead to warn Cao Cao.

At the time, Xun Yu said: "Hua Tuo's medical skills are too brilliant, and its existence is also related to the people of the world. If the Lord pardons Hua Tuo, one can let Hua Tuo continue to treat the disease as the Lord, and the other can get Hua Tuo Tuo is grateful."

Cao Cao sneered.

In fact, his headache was just a minor illness.He invited Hua Tuo several times, but the old man dared to push back and deceive him with his wife's serious illness.After seeing him, he said that the disease cannot be cured, and the only way is to open the skull.

Does the meaning of craniotomy mean splitting a person's head?And once a person's head is split, wouldn't he be able to survive?

Therefore, Cao Cao was furious at the moment and left in a huff.

Now Cao Cao was in a fit of anger. Hearing Xun Yu's words, he just sneered and said, "Hua Tuo takes care of himself when he is sick, and he is a villain. Even if Gu doesn't kill him now, he will never completely cure the disease for Gu."

Xun Yu frowned slightly.He opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him, but Cao Cao glanced at him, waved his hand and said calmly: "Okay, you go down. I'll see what the world can do without this quack doctor!"

With just this one glance, the subtle and complex emotions in it already made Xun Yu tremble.

——How could he not understand the subtlety and complexity in this look?

He has followed Cao Cao for more than [-] years, and almost devoted half of his life to Cao Cao, advising him, recommending talents for him, and devoting himself to him... In the past, he had nothing to say with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao never hid anything from him. things, I often say "my son's house" to the left and right...

Xun Yu also always thought that he was really Cao Cao's "ovary".

Until recently.

Until recently, Cao Cao proclaimed himself prime minister, and in his words, he wanted to kill literati like Kong Rong, so he advised Cao Cao as before.After that, he found that Cao Cao was no longer as knowledgeable and relaxed as before.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu restrained his face, hiding the bitterness and grief in his eyes.

Is it because he was too confident... He even forgot that in history Zhang Liang was able to avoid the fate of Han Xin, Peng Yue and others because they retired in time.

And he...has the lord become suspicious?

He clenched his hands in his sleeves, he didn't speak any more, he just bowed and bowed and stepped back slowly.

Guo Jia has seen everything in his eyes.

His palpitations were unbearable, and his face seemed to have never seen anything, calm and unwavering.

Cao Cao's complexion looked better, he glanced at Xun Yu's somewhat bleak back, and felt a little uncomfortable.But he quickly ignored the displeasure, and said calmly: "Feng Xiao, you came here to persuade Gu to release Hua Tuo?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Would my lord be willing to listen to Guo Jia's words?"

"What if Gu doesn't want to?"

Guo Jia sighed sadly.

Cao Cao said impatiently: "I know that Hua Tuo healed your serious illness this time, and I also know that you stick to the so-called drip of water and repay each other with springs. However, Feng Xiao can also think about it. In fact, it is only a matter of time before you recover. You could have survived without Hua Tuo."

Guo Jia frowned slowly: "Master, are you determined to kill Hua Tuo?"

Cao Cao also glanced at him, his eyes still complicated: "Not bad."

Guo Jia paused, bowed and said, "That's it, Guo Jia will leave."

And Hua Tuo's conversation with Cao Cao in prison soon spread widely.

Among them, the most surprising thing is the word "skull opening" that Hua Tuo said.

Craniotomy...

When Cao Zhi heard these two words, the corners of his eyes twitched fiercely.

The so-called craniotomy is surgery.But in this day and age, there is talk of a craniotomy...

——This is unscientific, hey!

Thinking so, Cao Zhi hurried to the main hall where Cao Cao was.He met Xun Yu first, stopped and walked to salute, but saw that Xun Yu had never seen him at all, and left in a daze.He felt that this matter was not good, so he saw Guo Jia approaching him.

Seeing him, Guo Jia didn't smile either: "My lord is angry now, it's useless for you to go."

Cao Zhi sighed.

"I'm going to visit the genius doctor in prison, the four young masters together?"

"it is good."

Seeing that it was Cao Zhi and Guo Jia who came, the jailer naturally didn't dare to make things difficult, and soon

The two walked together, Guo Jia remembered that a few years ago the boy beside him seemed to be only at his waist height, but now he could barely stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

The coldness of the prison made Guo Jia cough even more.

Cao Zhi shook Guo Jia's hand, feeling his fingers were cold for a moment, and couldn't help tightening.Then before Guo Jia could react and waved away, he let go of his hand decisively.

Guo Jia coughed, and his heart was subtle.

He could vaguely sense Cao Zhi's unspeakable feelings for him, but he still couldn't believe it, so he was happy to pretend he didn't know.

It's just that his hand...was too warm.

It was so warm that he even went into a trance for a moment.

This road came to the end very quickly, and it was also in front of Hua Tuo.

When I saw Hua Tuo last time, he looked like a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, but now his temples are gray and haggard.

Cao Zhi sighed in his heart, and respectfully bowed to Hua Tuo: "Mr., I'm coming down to see you."

Hua Tuo's eyes lit up.But when he saw Guo Jia beside him, his complexion was a little bad.

The cell was dimly lit, and Guo Jia's complexion was ashen.Hua Tuo said coldly: "You hurt your spleen and lungs in the north, and you are most afraid of coldness. Now you are still in prison, is this fatal?"

Most doctors in this world have a common problem.What they hate the most is the person who they have worked so hard to heal, only to be injured again in the blink of an eye.

Cao Zhi coughed lightly.

Hua Tuo glanced at him: "You're not sick, why are you coughing?"

Cao Zhi was embarrassed.

He turned his head, and Guo Jia stared at him with a half-smile.The light was dim, making his eyes darker and brighter.

Cao Zhi's heart moved slightly.

He rubbed his nose and abruptly changed the subject: "Mister, are you sure you can cure my father?"

Hua Tuo glanced at him and stopped talking.

In fact, in addition to disobedient patients, people who question their medical skills are also quite annoying in this world.

Cao Zhi saluted: "Don't blame me, sir, I'm just worried about you, sir."

Hua Tuo sighed sadly when he heard the words: "I also know that you are doing it for my own good. But you don't need to say much, I know this life is probably coming to an end!"

As he said this, his expression was a little sad, but there was no madness or pain.

Maybe he was already used to seeing life and death, but he didn't care so much.

Hua Tuo paused, and said slowly: "I was a scholar when I was young, and I was quite conceited because I also knew the Sutra. I naturally wanted to be an official at that time, but unfortunately the world was chaotic, and I didn't have any backing, so I became an official. As far as it is concerned, it is just a luxury."

Cao Zhi and Guo Jia listened quietly without interrupting.

Hua Tuo continued: "In desperation, the old man abandoned his studies to pursue medicine. In this troubled world, to be a doctor is at least something to eat."

"In the beginning, the old man was also resentful. It's just that I saw more people and understood all kinds of sentient beings, so I gradually calmed down."

"Some people don't dare to resent when dying, some avoid medical treatment, some are narrow-minded, and some are open-minded in the face of death..." Hua Tuo said here, smiling: "Not only is he calm, but every time he heals a person, seeing their admiring eyes, The old man felt an indescribable satisfaction."

Especially when I saw those who were on the verge of dying, they could run and jump under my own treatment, and they were alive and well, and I felt indescribably happy and proud in my heart.

Cao Zhi also smiled: "Although you can't benefit the people as an official, you have saved more lives as a doctor."

Hua Tuo heard it, and proudly said: "Not bad."

After saying that, his expression became a little gloomy again: "As for the old man's fate, he asked for it himself. I am not afraid of death, but I am worried that after death, no one will be able to inherit the old man's mantle."

As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag and handed it to Cao Zhi: "This book is the work of this old man all his life. The fourth son has taken it. If you meet someone who is dedicated to medicine in the future, it is better to hand it over to him."

Cao Zhi agreed.

He suddenly said: "Sir, do you remember the agreement we made that day?"

Hua Tuo smiled again: "Of course I remember."

"Please always remember, Mr. Cao Zhi, if Cao Zhi opens medical clinics all over the world in the future, he will still invite Mr. Lao to sit in the hall."

Hua Tuo became more and more happy: "Okay, okay!"

Coming out of the prison, the atmosphere became a little heavy.

Guo Jia suddenly said: "I'll go back and think about how to save him. Don't bother me."

Then he ordered someone to bring a few buckets of cold well water, and then waved away the crowd, intending to pour it on himself.

His body is naturally understood.

In the past, Hua Tuo heard that Cao Cao was not far away, and he didn't want to stay for a long time. He only left medicine to facilitate his departure.This body has never been healed, and now if he can get seriously ill again, wouldn't it be possible for the lord to release Hua Tuo and make him heal himself?

Guo Jia looked at the bucket with a delicate expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, he has been strategizing for so many years, and now he would use this strategy... In fact, even though he had other methods to persuade Cao Cao, none of them was so direct and effective.

He was thinking, and when he was about to pick up the bucket and pour water on his body, he heard Cao Zhi's voice outside the courtyard: "Mr. really did that."

Guo Jia put down the bucket with a pale expression.

Cao Zhi walked into the court and sighed: "Sir, why bother? If you don't let the students come, even if you are sick, you can recover quickly."

Guo Jia glanced at him.

The 16-year-old boy has a handsome figure and is naturally much stronger than him. Even if ten buckets of cold water are poured on him, it may not make him suffer from a minor illness.So he said casually: "Can you do it?"

"..." Cao Zhi's complexion was subtle.

He looked Guo Jia up and down, looked at his pale complexion and said: "Whether I can do it, sir will know in the future."

Guo Jia was taken aback.

He slowly widened his eyes, and suddenly realized the meaning of Cao Zhi's words, suddenly turned his direction, and poured the whole bucket of cold water on Cao Zhi with a "splash".

Cao Zhi wiped his face and stared at him speechlessly.

Guo Jia smiled.

His smile was still as calm and gentle as before, but in Cao Zhi's eyes, somehow it turned out to be ferocious.

He said softly: "Oh? Since the Fourth Young Master does his part, it's hard work."

"..."
