The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"The village head lives here."

A group of people led Xie Lingbai and Wen Changheng to a house, and when they walked in, they found an old man in his 60s lying on the bed, with a pale face and weak breathing.

Xie Lingbai bravely walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, took a look at Wen Changheng, and then stretched out his hand pretending to take the village chief's pulse, the room was silent.

Xie Lingbai looked calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was already like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't diagnose the pulse at all, what was normal and what was abnormal, no one taught him, and the medical books were only on paper That's all.

"Doctor Xie, how about my old man? Can he be saved?"

The woman next to her asked worriedly, Xie Lingbai let go of her hand, tried to make her voice sound calmer, and said, "The village chief is not bewitched."

"Isn't it evil? What's the matter?"

"This specific reason still needs further research to know."

"Leaving this aside, can you cure the village chief?"

The man who was the leader just now asked, his attitude was much worse than that of the village chief's wife, Xie Lingbai was unwilling to talk to him from the bottom of his heart, but the current situation did not allow him to do so.

"It can be saved, but it's a pity that I don't have anything at hand now, and I didn't bring my medicine box, so why don't you send a few people to follow us to the city, and then..."

"It takes a day to get to the city from here, and I don't know what will happen to the village chief and the others. Now they are very weak and cannot stand the wait."

"Doctor Xie wants a medicine box, we have it right here, Doctor Chen, go and get your medicine box here."

"Ah, okay."

A middle-aged man went out, probably the so-called Dr. Chen. Xie Lingbai's plan was unsuccessful. He originally wanted to leave here first. After arriving in the city, the Wen family has great influence. It is not a big deal to get rid of these people Difficult.

After a while, Doctor Chen brought his medicine box. Xie Lingbai opened it and took a look. He didn't know how to use the things inside.

"How many people are unconscious?"

Wen Changheng asked Dr. Chen, and Dr. Chen replied: "Including the village head, there are ten people, and the village head is the most serious."

"Just because you went into the mountains?"

"Yes, when they set off in the morning, they were all very energetic. Not long after they came back at night, they became delirious and talked crazily. They fell into a coma within two days."

"Never met before?"

"That mountain is often visited by people, and I have never encountered such a situation."

Wen Changheng nodded: "I roughly understand that Dr. Xie's clinic needs to be absolutely quiet. Please wait outside first."

"This……"

They looked at each other, and one of them said, "What if you run away?"

"If you are worried, you can enclose this house."

The group of people discussed it and finally compromised. After a while, Wen Changheng, Xie Lingbai and the village chief were left in the room.

Xie Lingbai ran to the window and opened a crack to take a look, and found that those people really surrounded the house, he looked up at the roof, and whispered to Wen Changheng: "Master, let's escape by climbing on the roof? "

As soon as the voice finished speaking, some footsteps were heard on the roof, and Xie Lingbai leaned against her. She really didn't expect that they even sent someone to guard the roof.

Now it's really hard to fly.

Seeing Xie Lingbai clasping his hands together, Wen Changheng didn't know what to mutter, so he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

"I pray to God that the village head will get well soon, otherwise we will have to be buried together, and I have to take care of my brother, so I can't die."

"Only the right medicine can be prescribed."

This means to tell him not to waste time, Xie Lingbai naturally understands this truth, but what can he do now, he walked to the bedside and said: "Then you have to have this ability, even if I know he is I can’t prescribe medicine for any symptoms, and I know how many catties I have.”

"How does it feel to feel your pulse?"

Xie Lingbai rolled his eyes: "What can I feel? I can feel that his pulse is still beating, at least he is not dead."

"Write a prescription."

"What to write?"

"random."

Xie Lingbai opened his mouth wide, then deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "You want to get away with it? If it gets worse, they might tear us apart."

Wen Changheng's expression was calm: "He is already like this, no matter how serious it is, how serious can it be?"

"But that's just random prescribing. Besides, how can I know how to prescribe even if I don't know all the medicines?"

"You read most of the medical books, but you didn't remember a single prescription?"

The medical book was left on the burning carriage just now, and now it is probably burned. Xie Lingbai recalled it carefully, and hesitated: "Just remember a prescription for clearing away heat and fire."

Wen Changheng raised his chin to signal him to write it down, Xie Lingbai walked slowly to the table to write down the prescription, and then brought it in front of Wen Changheng.

"It doesn't look like they are on fire, do they?"

Wen Changheng glanced at the prescription, "Put the prescription away, go to Dr. Chen, go to him to grab the medicinal materials according to the prescription, and then boil five bowls of water into one bowl of water. Remember, don't let others see the prescription."

"But……"

"You have to give some explanation, so they will believe that you are really trying to find a way to treat the village chief."

"But he won't get well after drinking this..." Xie Lingbai suddenly thought of something as he spoke, and guessed: "Are you trying to procrastinate until Wei Ze comes to rescue us?"

Wen Changheng didn't admit it or deny it, Xie Lingbai took it as his acquiescence, thinking that this might be a solution, after all, there is no other way now.

"I'm going to grab the medicine now."

"You cook the medicine yourself, don't let that doctor get close to the medicine jar, otherwise the truth will be revealed."

"understood……"

Xie Lingbai put the prescription into his arms, and then walked out of the room to ask Dr. Chen for the medicinal materials. Wen Changheng glanced at the door, and then sat on the side of the bed and put his hand on the village chief's wrist.

The pulse condition seems to be peaceful, but if you look carefully, you can find that the peace is occasionally mixed with a little confusion, but it is easy to be ignored because it is not obvious.

He raised his hand to check the village chief's eyes and mouth, lifted the quilt and pressed his abdomen, raised his hand to untie the village chief's clothes, and then took out the acupuncture kit from the medicine box next to the bed.

He spread out the acupuncture bag, took out a silver needle, found an acupuncture point and inserted it, and then continued with the second one, until the fifth one, when he heard some footsteps at the door.

Wen Changheng sat up straight and looked over, the door was pushed open after a while, and the wife of the village head walked in, holding a pan in her hand.

The village chief's wife was stunned when she saw the silver needle on the village chief's chest when she came in. Wen Changheng stood up and explained: "Doctor Xie just gave the village chief the needle, and ordered me to watch it here. He has gone to decoct the medicine."

"So that's the case, thanks to meeting the two of you, otherwise my old man wouldn't know what would have happened."

The village head's wife put the plate on the table, which contained some meals, and she put them all on the table. Wen Changheng asked, "Madam, don't you believe in sacrifice?"

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I feel uneasy. If you want to exchange human life for human life, how can you live with your conscience?! If the old man wakes up, he will definitely not accept it. It's a pity that there are many people who are bewitched by evil spirits, and I am not the only one." People can do what they want.”

"Did the village chief say anything when he came back that day? For example, did he encounter something he hadn't seen before?"

The wife of the village chief recalled it for a while, then shook her head and said: "No, that day was no different from before, but because the prey was more difficult to catch that day, so the delay in the mountains was longer, and usually you can come back at noon. I don’t come back until it’s dark.”

"I haven't returned for a day, but have I brought enough dry food and water?"

"I brought water, but I didn't bring dry food. Originally, it only took half a day."

"Did the village chief say anything about eating on the mountain that day when he came back?"

"I haven't mentioned it."

Wen Changheng pondered for a while, then the village head's wife said: "It's getting dark outside, and I'm afraid you two won't be able to leave today, so I'll stay here temporarily, and I've prepared some meals."

"Thank you..."

"It's me who should thank you."

After the village head's wife finished speaking, she looked at the village head lying on the bed with some concern, and Wen Changheng said, "Madam, I hope Madam can keep those people from coming in to disturb Dr. Xie during his treatment."

"it is good……"

The wife of the village head went out after agreeing, and Wen Changheng returned to the bedside to continue giving acupuncture. I don't know what the village head did or ate that day. I'm afraid the only way to find out the cause is to go into the mountains. ...

When Xie Lingbai boiled the medicine and brought it in, the food on the table was already cold, and the silver needle on the village chief's body had already been retrieved, everything looked the same as before he went out.

"Finally finished, do you really want to feed him?"

Xie Lingbai was a little hesitant, what if he died later?

"Feed as much as you like."

Wen Changheng didn't seem very worried, Xie Lingbai couldn't figure out whether he was really not worried or if he always had this expression, maybe he was already anxious to death.

He stepped forward to raise the head of the village chief slightly, then handed the medicine bowl to his mouth, and poured the medicine juice into it carefully, because he was unconscious, so it was not very easy to feed, so he gave up after a few mouthfuls .

"I drank the medicine, what should I do now?"

"Wait."

"Wait? What are you waiting for? Wait for a miracle or wait for Wei Ze to save us?" Xie Lingbai said a little discouraged, "I don't think it's possible to do either, I just asked, what is the name of this place? Wei Ze must have gone to Yu Village to find us now."

He walked to the table to look at the food, sat down and picked up the bowls and chopsticks to eat a few mouthfuls. Although it was completely cold, he hadn't eaten all afternoon, so at least he had something to eat, and he would be a full ghost!

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

At this moment, there was a faint coughing sound from the bed, and Xie Lingbai sprayed out the food in his mouth, and turned his head to look at the village chief on the bed with a ghostly expression.

"Cough cough..."

It was indeed the village chief who was coughing. He got up and walked to the bed to take a look. He saw that the village chief's eyelids seemed to move, and then slowly opened his eyes. Xie Lingbai took a step back in fright and ran into Wen Changheng behind him. .

"Damn, Wen Changheng, he really got angry!"
