233 Sun Siyuan was angry
At dawn the next day, both teams of people at the inn set off.
Sun Sicheng did not plan to rest any longer. He had a good breakfast with Ping An, Wan Li and others. As soon as he put down his bowl and chopsticks, Sun Siyuan came over angrily.
"Brother, let me ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Sun Sicheng's eyes turned red when he saw his brother.
"Brother, I just came from the Qi family. My cousin said you were going to the border? Why?"
Sun Sicheng sighed. Qi Wei was a chatterbox. "Nothing. The Great Zhou was in danger. The government was looking for doctors. Ping An and I took some people there to save more Great Zhou soldiers. They were also human beings."
As for practicing my craft, that's something I certainly can't talk about. It's not something that can be brought to light.
Sun Siyuan was angry: "Brother, isn't our Sun family's contribution enough? All we have is a doctor like you? That's a battlefield, where is there an absolutely safe place? Don't you usually pamper Ping An? Are you willing to give him up now?"
Sun Sicheng waved his hand and asked Wanli to take Ping'an upstairs. The others should do what they should do as they were not leaving today anyway.
Soon, only the two brothers were left in the private room.
"Are you angry enough?"
"That's not enough. Have you ever thought about your parents, your grandfather, your wife and children, and me? If you have anything, how can we live?"
Sun Sicheng laughed and said, "Silly Second Brother, first of all, I am in the military medical department, in the rear, and will not go to the front line. Secondly, the situation in the Great Zhou is difficult this time, and what we lack most is capable doctors. We can choose not to go to Baicaotang, but my father and I are still receiving monthly salaries from the court.
Yes, these monthly salaries are nothing, but you can’t deny the hidden benefits. Our Sun family is already one of the best in the medical field in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I went there, contributed, and also shut people up.”
He also whispered another purpose into Sun Siyuan's ear.
"Second brother, this is also my purpose. There are very few people with this ability in the Imperial Hospital. You asked me why I brought Ping'an with me. That kid is better than me in this aspect."
Two days before he was released, he used a knife to cut off a tumor on a man's neck. It was as big as an egg. He peeled off the skin and flesh just like peeling an eggshell.
Sun Siyuan was stunned: "He holds the knife? What about you?"
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "I was helping him. To be honest, I felt sick and wanted to vomit. I was also very proud. None of my disciples in the whole Great Zhou were better than him."
Sun Siyuan was convinced of this. Now he also had an apprentice. He looked good on his own, but compared with Ping An, he was inferior in every way.
"Second brother, don't tell my parents about my trip to the Northern Territory for now. Wait for a while. If I can't come back by the end of the year, you should bring your wife Xin'er back to Beijing as soon as possible and make arrangements here. Don't come over for a short time."
"Brother, if you really want to go, come back at the end of the year. I heard that the doctor doesn't require a one-year stay."
"I'll do my best, but it also depends on how the war develops. Let's not talk about this anymore and go to the Qi family."
Speaking of peace, thinking about the plague in Huaibei Prefecture, I really can't sit still.
Master is going to Qi's house. He can't leave today anyway, so he might as well take some Ganlu Xiaodu Dan with him. This medicine is very effective against plague, and can also be used to promote dampness and turbidity, clear away heat and detoxify. It can't be wasted.
This is an ancient prescription for treating plague in modern medical books, but he has never seen such a prescription in his four years of studying medicine, and the prescription in Taoist Master Hu's medical book is also different from this one.
There is also Zhang Zhongjing's Da Qing Long Tang, which contains a total of seven herbs: ephedra, apricot kernel, gypsum, roasted licorice, cinnamon twig, ginger, and red dates. This prescription has been passed down for more than two thousand years and is worth a try.
He quickly called Zhang Xiaoshan, and asked Jixiang to take Erqiang to the cloth shop to make the protective clothing he drew. Each of his family members would get a set. Although they were not real protective clothing, they were better than nothing. Since they did not live in a real epidemic area, wearing them would still be useful.
He took Xiaoshan to Baicaotang and prepared more than a hundred servings of medicinal materials. When he returned to the inn, he took Xiaoshan, Qingshi and others to work. Xiaowu, Linfeng and others could also do some heavy work.
In the afternoon, when Sun Sicheng returned to the inn, Ping An had already brought people to prepare a large jar of pills, which could be dissolved in boiled water and taken. It was convenient and practical. So many pills only cost him a dozen taels of silver. The shopkeeper asked him to keep an account of the money, and although the silver was not much, he still paid. If his uncle was there himself, it would not be necessary.
"What's this?"
"Master, I remembered another recipe for curing plague that Master Hu mentioned. It can be used for other purposes besides curing plague. I will take Xiaoshan and the others to make it, just in case."
Sun Sicheng looked at the prescription on the paper. This kid must have studied with the Taoist priest for more than a year, otherwise how could he know so much? He felt both sad and happy.
The good thing was that by accepting this apprentice, he got many precious prescriptions out of nowhere.
It's so sour that Taoist Master Hu is his real mentor, but since the child doesn't say anything and he doesn't ask, he just pretends it never happened.
Erqiang and Jixiang brought a large bag of protective clothing.
"Ping'an, you gave me ten taels, and there are still three taels left." Erqiang handed over the change.
Ping An said, "Take this, buy some food you like nearby and share it among the others. The extra is yours."
Erqiang was happy, thinking that Ping'an was giving him money. Dinner would be in an hour, and the eldest master never treated them badly when it came to food. He only had to spend one or two taels of silver to buy some cooked food and have everyone eat a little.
Only a cousin can do this.
Sun Sicheng asked: "What is this?"
Ping An explained in detail: "Master, when we get to the vicinity of Huaibei Prefecture, we will have to wear these. Unfortunately, we don't have enough time, so I prepared one set for each of us."
"It's okay. Ping An has done a great job. It won't be too late to do it once we get there. These can still be used to perform surgery on people in the North."
Sun Sicheng was delighted and took out a small stack of banknotes: "Ping An, take this, spend it on anything you want."
Ping An looked at it and said: "Master, this is too much, isn't it?"
"What's the big deal? They're all in 20s and 50s. They're convenient to use. They look like a lot, but they're only a few hundred taels."
Ping An took it with a smile.
Sun Sicheng lay down on the kang and said, "The Qi family is really miserable today. My cousin fainted at the funeral. Qi Wei has been suffering these days and also fainted. As for that child, Chen Sheng cried so hard that he couldn't catch his breath and also collapsed. Fortunately, your uncle and I are here."
Ping An has nothing to say, this kind of thing is tragic.
But he himself was not there, and he didn't feel particularly sad, he just felt a little sorry for the child.
"I have to go check before the evening. I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning. I'll be worried if I don't check."
"Master, I'm going to say something you may not like to hear. If Qi Jiaojiao doesn't die and doesn't change her character, who knows what she'll do in the future. The Qi family, including her son, will suffer, and she will suffer as well. Now that it's over, her family will feel sad in the short term, but in the long run, it's not a bad thing for everyone."
Sun Sicheng laughed and said, "That's true, but you must not say it outside, otherwise you will be criticized by thousands of people."
"Master, why would I say this outside? Do you think I'm that stupid?"
