655 See the effect

noon.

Ping An and his group rushed to the dilapidated house.

Youdong and Younan were getting anxious, while Younan had already taken the horse to look for Ping'an.

As soon as they saw the carriage coming, they immediately went to meet it.

"Master, Master Ping An, my master has a fever again, almost like the second half of the night."

Ping An put on a protective gown in the car and immediately said to the master, "Master, you and Mr. Shi San can go to the main house without coming out. Xiao Wu has disinfected the house very well. Lin Feng, you should go and boil some water. The more the better."

"Be safe. Be as careful as possible. You can never be too careful with an epidemic like this."

"Understood, Master."

Sun Sicheng stood there for a long time without moving. He had clearly agreed not to have close contact with patients, but now he not only had contact with Huo Zhi, but also with the village chief and three others.

"Master, don't panic. We have a good recipe in Ziteng Mountain. It's useless for people who are sick. It's only used to prevent diseases. But I don't know if it can prevent this kind of epidemic."

Sun Sicheng was shocked. The prescription from Zither Mountain must be good. It might also be Taoist Hu’s prescription.

Of course, it is possible that Master Hu’s prescription also includes the Shi family’s prescription?

It’s hard to explain this.

"Master Shi San, let's go inside and talk."

Ping An entered the room. Huo Zhiren was still conscious. One could tell at a glance that he had a severe fever, even his eyes were watery.

"Ping An, not long after you left, I started vomiting and having diarrhea. The diarrhea contained mucus and blood. I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand. I was also very cold at first, and I was shivering even under the covers...

Huo Zhi explained as clearly as possible.

"I understand. Don't say anything. I'll give you acupuncture to detoxify you first. The master is here too. The master and I will prescribe a suitable prescription for you later. Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as we're here."

A quarter of an hour later, Ping'an finished the injection and sat down to wipe the sweat off his face.

Huo Zhi was panting heavily while talking. On the one hand, it was because of his weak body and shortness of breath. On the other hand, the disease also had a significant impact on the lungs. He coughed briefly one after another. Although the coughs were not serious, the rest time in between was too short.

What Ping An feared the most was the organ failure caused by this disease. Huo Zhi was so young, but he became so sick in just two or three days. What about those weak, elderly and young patients?

After a while, Ping An picked up the needle and called Youdong to come out.

"He is asleep now. You should not stay inside. When you go in, you must be fully dressed. You are sick and no one is taking care of him. We have to heal you."

Huo Youdong nodded: "Master Ping'an, Younan brought out a lot of good medicines, which are in the small house where I live."

"I understand." Ping'an had an idea in his mind. Ma Huang Tang seemed to be very suitable for this disease.

Ping'an disinfected himself, changed into clean clothes, and went to the main house.

I saw that the master was talking excitedly with Mr. Shi Sanye.

"Ping An, Mr. Shi San just mentioned a recipe from Zi Teng Mountain, which is used to prevent epidemics. I think it's good."

Ping An heard this and thought, isn't this Yinqiao Powder? It is indeed useful for preventing diseases.

"Master, this recipe can be used."

He analyzed Huo Zhi's condition and then told him the prescription for Ma Huang Tang. He had no intention of avoiding Master Shi Sanye.

This moved Mr. Shi San very much.

This child hasn't even become a disciple yet, but they don't avoid him when giving him such an important prescription. They are really treating him as their own.

Sun Sicheng thought about it and decided that a medicine composed of ephedra, apricot kernel, cinnamon twig and roasted licorice could be very effective in treating this epidemic.

Needless to say, this must be the recipe that the Taoist priest told Ping An.

He has read several of the dozen or so books compiled by Ping An and even copied a copy. He really can't remember whether he has seen this recipe or not.

"You can try this prescription. Even if it doesn't work, at least there won't be any serious problems. Give it to Huo Zhi this afternoon. With us by his side, nothing will go wrong." Sun Sicheng didn't hesitate any longer and made the decision.

In fact, there was no time for them to hesitate.

If Huo Zhi's medicine works well, he can report it to the government office tomorrow together with the prescription for Yinqiao Powder and ask the government office to send people to prepare the medicine in large quantities. It won't work just relying on just a few of them.

Huo Zhi was in good spirits in the evening and drank a large bowl of porridge.

Half an hour later, Ping An personally came to his bedside with the medicine.

"Brother Huo, this is the most suitable prescription for your illness that my master and I came up with. It's called Ma Huang Tang. It's never been tried on anyone. Do you dare?"

Huo Zhi chuckled: "Why not? Since you've already brought it here, at least nothing will happen. The worst that can happen is that it won't have any effect."

He took the bowl and drank it up.

Ping An handed over a cup of tea: "A young marquis is serving you tea and water, Brother Huo, you are the first person who has asked me to do this."

Huo Zhi grinned, and the two seemed to have returned to their youth.

The first time they met, one was eight years old and the other was fifteen. He gave Ping An a jade pendant and Ping An gave him a dagger.

The second time they met was two years later. Ping An saved him like a god. In the days that followed, the two studied together from the capital to Yingtian.

In this life, peaceful friendship is the best gift God has given him.

"I'll ask Youdong and Younan to disinfect your room carefully later. Once you feel better, you can walk around the room and move around."

"Got it, Ping An, when you return to Beijing I will take my wife and children with me to go with you."

Ping An had already walked out, but he stopped and sat down at the table.

"Brother Huo, tell me, what's going on in your family?"

"Is it appropriate for you to be obedient and homely at this time?"

Ping An looked at him without saying a word.

Of course it is appropriate.

During this meeting with Jiangnan, Huo Zhi was worried the whole time. He shouldn't be like this. In Ping An's heart, Huo Zhi was the most sunny and energetic person.

When they met for the first time, when the master still had a lot of complaints about Huo Zhi, he liked him very much. Not only did he accept Huo Zhi's gift, he also gave him a gift in return. Wasn't it because he liked that carefree, sunny smile?

Is this Huo Zhi still the same Huo Zhi as before?

Excessive worry is not conducive to recovery.

After thinking about it, Huo Zhi decided to tell Ping An all about his family affairs.

"I have been working hard to support Huashou Hall on my own. My father and elder brother never intervened. My mother and elder sister-in-law always targeted my wife and children, while the other seized the power of the household manager. My wife is not in good health and is too worried. She hardly talks to me. She used to be a talkative and cheerful person.

Ping An, I am really tired. I have worked so hard, but my wife and children still have a hard time. No one says a good word about me. That day in the West Ward, I even thought about just dying. "

"Brother Huo, I think you are a little funny. Now the head of the Huo family is you, not your father or your eldest brother.

You don't need to tell them in detail what you have done. Huashoutang is just a business after all. You don't care about your career, so are you afraid that they will sue you for being unfilial?

This time when your eldest brother comes back, you can tell him directly that you want to divide the family business.

If he says that the family will not be divided as long as the parents are still alive, then you should say you are giving up and pretend to pack up your things and take your wife and children away.

You don't have to leave home temporarily when the family splits up. Your grandfather gave Huashou Hall to you, so it is yours. The other things can be divided among them.

If your parents say that more than 70% belongs to the eldest wife, you can take away a few% in advance as private property as long as you are willing. Don't tell me that a gentleman should not do this, and that a man who does not care for himself will be punished by heaven and earth.

I believe your elder brother will not want Huashoutang. If he really wants it, you should give it to him. What does this mean? What can't you, Huo Zhi, earn? Does the family business have to be passed down from generation to generation? Many things cannot be passed down.

You can be filial to your parents, but if they always favor your elder brother, then there is no need to be blindly filial. You should be good to your wife and children. Your wife will stay with you until old age, and you should teach your children from an early age, otherwise you will regret it later.

To be honest, since I was ten years old, only my master and my husband knew about my income. I only gave my parents a sum of money every year. I just got used to it. My parents never asked me about it. I was very free and easy. "

Huo Zhi started laughing as he listened, and his mind suddenly became clear.

Yes, I can't blame anyone. I have reached a dead end over the years. I always feel that since I have taken over my grandfather's burden, I have to run the Huo family well.

But not all parents love their children, and not all efforts are rewarded.

So why not be nicer to yourself?
