659 Two-pronged approach

Master Hu had tears in his eyes, but he just nodded and did as he was told. Master Ping An not only took his pulse, but also gave him acupuncture, completely disregarding his own safety.

He would never be able to repay such a great favor even if he spent his entire life on it.

Ping'an carried several sets of needles with him. By the time he finished giving injections to three people, half an hour had passed and he was sweating profusely.

It is really too difficult to do acupuncture continuously.

"Master Hu, cover them with blankets and remember to give them medicine when you go back. Bring them here again at noon tomorrow and I will give them another injection."

Ping An patiently told him how to keep the house clean for patients and how to disinfect the house with the most common things.

"Take them back."

Hu Songyun knelt on his knees again, kowtowed three times to Ping An almost devoutly, then turned around and took his wife and children home.

If Master Ping'an is willing, when they return to Beijing, he is willing to take his wife and children with him and be willing to work like a slave for the rest of his life.

Ping'an turned around and walked back. Lin Feng and Xiao Wu were standing not far away. There was a steaming bucket of water in front of them, mugwort was burning on the ground, and there was a backpack next to them. Needless to say, it was filled with clothes and shoes.

Ping An smiled.

These guards who were like brothers to him truly touched his heart.

"Master, your hair is wet. You need to wash and dry it." Xiao Wu used to be quiet, but now he can chatter endlessly.

"I'll do whatever you say." Ping An would be the best person to speak at this time.

It took nearly half an hour to clean up everything.

Ping An gave these soldiers some preventive medicine packs and asked them to boil some medicine and each drink a bowl.

By the time Lin Feng finished cooking the outer clothes and the carriage started again, it was already past noon.

"Huo Zhi might be waiting anxiously at home."

Lin Feng said, "It's not something that Mr. Huo is waiting for right now. If Captain Fang goes back and tells Mr. Huang about this, Mr. Huang will probably be angry."

Ping An closed his eyes and said, "He is the prefect, and I am still a young marquis. If the other doctors disagree with this prescription, it is not difficult. Half of them will use my and my master's prescription first, and the other half will use the doctors' prescription first. We will see how effective it is in two days."

Inside the inn.

Captain Fang told Lord Huang that Young Master Ping'an would not be able to come until the afternoon.

Doctor Qin was a little unhappy: "How could Ping An delay such a big thing for a few villagers?"

Captain Fang said, "Master Ping An also said that he needs to find a few more patients of different levels for consultation."

Mr. Huang waved his hand, motioning him to go down.

Sun Sicheng smiled faintly: "Master Huang, Master Yuanzheng, I have handed over the prescription that Ping An and I came up with. It is normal for other imperial doctors to have different opinions. After all, the incident happened suddenly and we cannot spend time to verify it.

Let’s do this. Some patients will use our prescription first, while other patients will use Qin Taiyi’s prescription. The results will be out in two days at most.

It makes no difference whether Ping An comes or not. What he wants to say is what I am saying now.

As for the preventive medicine that Master Shi San brought out, I think it's worth a try. Master Huang also said that the number of patients in and outside the city has increased dramatically today, and those who are not sick must take medicine as soon as possible."

After Sun Sicheng finished speaking, he added lightly, "This is a recipe from Ziteng Mountain."

Everyone present was shocked. Wisteria Mountain? That was a privileged place.

Zhu Yuanzheng asked, "Sicheng, is Shi Sanye the third master of the Shi family in Ziteng Mountain? Why is he here?"

Sun Sicheng smiled softly: "Because he is Ping An's martial arts master."

Shi Wei had just stepped in and heard Sun Sicheng say this, and he grinned: "Master, isn't Ping An here yet?"

"Master Shi, Ping An has something else to do. He should be able to come over in the afternoon."

Mr. Huang stepped forward and bowed to Mr. Shi Sanye: "Mr. Huang would like to thank Mr. Shi Sanye for taking out the prescription for the people of Yuhang."

Shi Wei waved his hand and said, "Master Huang, you don't have to thank me. I'm giving the prescription to my apprentice."

Everyone present was extremely envious of Ping An. Including this Master Shi San, he now had four masters, and each of them was extraordinary.

A yamen runner came running over and said, "Sir, General Hao has arrived at the government soldiers' camp."

Lord Huang became excited. The flood washed away many people and naturally washed away more food. It was impossible to rely solely on donations from the rich families in the city to feed so many victims. The government storehouse was almost empty.

"Sicheng, you and General Hao are old friends, how about we go and see General Hao together?"

"Of course it is good."

Shi Sanye said, "I'll come too. I've long wanted to meet this brave general of the Great Zhou."

A doctor nearby said, "Master Shi, you are Master Ping'an's master, and General Hao is Master Ping'an's godfather. You are all relatives."

Mr. Shi San laughed out loud: "That's true."

Xiao Ming came over quickly: "Master Shi, four people are looking for you, saying they are your guards."

Master Shi San raised his lips. He hadn't seen these four people for many days and he really missed them.

When Ping'an returned to the roadside house, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Huo Zhi sitting at the door of his own room, and Younan was drying his hair.

"Brother Huo, you look in good spirits today?"

Huo Zhi smiled and said, "I ate a large bowl of porridge and drank a small bowl of ginseng soup. My legs are a little stronger now. I asked Younan to wash my hair. It was sticky and uncomfortable."

"I have had a fever for the past two days. I will continue to take medicine in the afternoon."

"I left some food for you guys. If it's cold, just heat it up."

"Okay, I'll give you acupuncture after you finish eating."

It turns out that a combination of medication and acupuncture is the best approach.

However, there are very few people who know how to perform acupuncture, and even fewer who have truly excellent skills.

People in this dynasty valued acupuncture more than their lives, and the Sun family's thirteen needles were rarely passed on to outsiders. He was the master's apprentice and son-in-law, so naturally things were different.

He also only taught his own sixteen needles to his master. Qingshi and the other four were taught, but their acupuncture skills were still not good enough. He was afraid that they would not be able to catch up with him and his master in three to five years.

Huo Zhi won't teach for the time being. No matter where you go, it's best to abide by the local rules.

But when giving him acupuncture, the needles used are sixteen, and it's up to him to learn as many as he can.

But Huo Zhi probably won’t learn it.

In the afternoon, Ping An brought Lin Feng and Xiao Wu back to the city. Only then did he learn that Godfather Hao had already arrived at the government soldier camp outside the city, and that the master and Mr. Shi Sanye had also gone there.

He was about to go, but Zhu Yuanzheng stopped him.

"Ping An, your master and General Hao will be here in the evening, so you should talk to me about Mr. Huo's illness."

Ping An asked, "Master Yuanzheng, why hasn't the five-flavor soup from Hujia Village been distributed yet?"

Zhu Yuanzheng sighed, "We had distributed the medicine yesterday, but there were so many people in the city who were sick that the medicine we had prepared was taken away.

But we have already sent someone to deliver the medicine."

"Master Yuanzheng, is the prescription my master sent back being prepared?"

"Ping An, after your master brought back the prescription this morning, we discussed it together, but Imperial Doctor Liao and Imperial Doctor Qin also came up with a good prescription.

Finally, your master said that we should prepare a portion of each prescription and give it to people from different places. The results will be clear in two days."

Ping An raised the corners of his lips. After all, he was his master and had the same idea as him.
