Chapter 2150 Stay
Gulu opened his mouth, wanting to keep them. If he had doubted their purpose at the beginning, after just one hour, he could already tell that Zhou Man was really capable, even very capable.
Manbao had already stood up, brushed off the grass debris on his body, and said to him, "You'll know if you feel his pulse more often. Practice makes perfect. Listening to the pulse is like listening to a song. The more you listen, the better you'll get."
Gu Lu withdrew his hand expressionlessly, thinking to himself: How are they the same? They are not the same at all.
The clan leader looked at Wu's expression and took the initiative to say to Bai Shanmanbao, "I've sent someone to find the antelope. Miss Zhou and Mr. Bai will be able to see it tomorrow."
Manbao emphasized: "We want to live."
"They must be alive. We not only set traps, but also can trap sheep. We won't kill them." Even if we can't trap them, we can drive them down with horses. I don't believe we can't catch them.
Manbao was satisfied, and then asked, "Aren't you going to continue heading east tomorrow?"
The clan leader said, "Miss Zhou is willing to teach us how to treat smallpox, so naturally we have to stay. Not to mention just for a day or two, we're willing to stay even for a month or two."
He then asked somewhat nervously, "I wonder how long it will take us to learn this skill."
Manbao sighed and said, "If it's short, you can actually learn it in half a day. If it's long, since you don't have a foundation, it may take a while. I will try my best to teach you."
When treating smallpox, she discussed it with the imperial physicians and other doctors. Once we know that smallpox will break out in a mass outbreak, it is not difficult to diagnose it. The difficulty lies in how to discover and diagnose it before a mass outbreak.
Its pulse manifestations and body surface manifestations overlap with many diseases, which often leads to misdiagnosis.
Therefore, this requires the doctor to have a dialectical ability, but Gu Lu...
How can she teach if she can't even tell whether the pulse is stagnant or smooth?
Manbao led the horse away with a somewhat sorrowful look on his face. Bai Shan also felt a headache. He had not been idle just now. When Manbao was teaching Gulu, he was talking to the herdsmen nearby and had already inquired: "Aside from the tribe leader, Wu is the smartest person in their tribe. Before you, everyone thought Wu was very capable."
The witch is responsible for offering sacrifices and treating the herdsmen. The depth of the sacrifices is unknown, but the treatments...
"It is said that the chances of their tribe surviving injuries are higher than those of several nearby tribes, and they can also gather more medicinal herbs than others," Bai Shan couldn't help but laugh. "I heard from them that Zhou Si has been buying medicinal herbs from them for the past two years."
Manbao worried for the safety and health of the people on the grassland, then said, "Several children in their tribe have worms in their stomachs. I'll go back and get them some medicine."
Daji reminded: "Master, we have to go back quickly, the sun is about to set."
Bai Shan kicked his horse's belly to speed up and ran towards the official road. "Where are they?"
Daji had been keeping an eye on things and pointed to the northeast, saying, "Master, they've already reached the front."
Their horses ran fast and had left the others far behind, but because they did not move during that afternoon, Mr. Zhuang and his men had already run ahead.
Fortunately, they were not far away, and the three of them met the guards who came out to look for them before they ran far, and then they returned before dark.
This was the first time they came back so late. Mr. Zhuang frowned and asked, "Did something happen?"
Manbao jumped off his horse, carrying a medicine basket on his back, and said to him, "Sir, we ran into the Tutu tribe over there who are migrating."
Bai Shan looked at Master You who was standing beside him and asked with a smile, "Does Master You know about this tribe?"
Master You actually knew. He occasionally did business with the tribes along the way, but his focus was still on the Hu people outside Yumen Pass. "I remember their chief was called Azmon. He was a very cheerful person, and doing business with him was not bad."
They were just too poor, and whenever he did business with them, they would lower the price too much, whether it was tea or porcelain, so he didn't like doing business with them.
Moreover, this place is not far from Xiazhou, and it can be reached in three or four days by horseback riding. If the price is high, they can just ride horses to Xiazhou to buy it themselves.
Bai Shan understood what was going on. He and Manbao looked at each other and pulled Mr. Zhuang aside to discuss the matter.
The intermittent voices of the three masters and apprentices could be heard, "How many days do you want to stay?"
"...It's not impossible, but I have to tell General Nie."
Manbao is the chief officer and she is the boss. If she says she wants to stay for a few more days, not to mention that General Nie has no objection, even if he does, Manbao can find an excuse.
The reason of "finding out whether Tutubu has any smallpox remedies" is still very strong.
Who can truly guarantee that the Tutu tribe doesn't have a smallpox remedy? After all, some members of their tribe have had smallpox themselves.
Sure enough, after speaking to Lieutenant General Nie, he agreed and then asked, "Should we use the names of court officials?"
"No," Manbao said, "Change back into your regular clothes. If they ask, just say we are traveling to study and doing some business, and you are all our guards and family servants."
General Nie said he understood.
However, they said these words quietly and did not reveal them to anyone. When they returned to the campfire, Manbao could only apologize and tell Mr. You that they were afraid they could not go with them and they would have to stay here for a few days.
Mr. You expressed his understanding and said goodbye to them and left early the next morning.
After they left, Manbao took his bowl and squatted by the fire to eat porridge, while General Nie took his men to change clothes.
He changed out of his officer uniform and put on a casual uniform similar to that of the Yin family's guards. The two passersby took a look and took off some of their accessories. They said to Manbao, "Sir, we are the manager and accountant of the caravan?"
Manbao nodded repeatedly, "That's good. Since we're doing business, we must have a manager and an accountant."
Zhou Liru also stuffed the luggage containing Man Bao's official uniform into the deepest part of the box.
Manbao said, "We'll go there first after breakfast. You guys walk slowly behind. Do you see the hills that are connected? They are right behind the hills."
Mr. Zhuang squinted his eyes and looked for a while, then asked, "Is there any water over there?"
Manbao recalled for a moment and said, "I forgot."
Bai Shan said: "I asked, and there seems to be a small pond not far away. With so many cattle, horses, and people, they can't survive without water."
Mr. Zhuang nodded and let them go.
Bai Erlang wanted to go with them. When Liu Huan and Yin Huo heard this, they immediately took their horses and waited by the side.
Zhou Liru saw that he was not willing to stay alone, so he asked the guard for a horse. Finally, they left together, leaving Mr. Zhuang waiting for everyone to pack up.
See you at 6pm
