Chapter 726 Fainted Again
Manbao arrived the fastest. Firstly, Jishiditang was close by, and secondly, there were no patients in the pharmacy at the time. As soon as the yamen runners went to call her, she packed up her things very quickly and came.
And she didn't come alone, she came with Bai Shan.
The two of them moved so quickly that County Magistrate Tang finished giving various instructions before sitting down and drinking two sips of tea.
Even the county lieutenant who worked in the side courtyard next door didn't come.
Manbao, carrying his backpack, ran into the hall with Bai Shan. He bowed perfunctorily to County Magistrate Tang, then looked around and asked, "Master Tang, where are the people?"
County Magistrate Tang did not stand up, but pointed his finger at the ground behind the pillar next to him.
Bai Shan ran over first and found a mat on the ground. A person was lying on the mat with his eyes closed and blue marks on his forehead and face.
His hands were crossed in front of his chest, making him look particularly peaceful.
Manbao, who ran in behind, was shocked, "He's dead?"
County Magistrate Tang: "...You are a doctor, and you can't tell whether he is unconscious or dead?"
Manbao went forward and touched his neck, then he said "Oh", looked up and said to the two of them: "It's alive."
County Magistrate Tang looked at Bai Shan curiously and asked, "Why are you here too?"
Bai Shan: "I came here with Man Bao."
County Magistrate Tang smiled slightly and said, "I'm not blind. I'm asking, aren't you going to school today? Why are you so free?"
Bai Shan looked at him sympathetically and said, "Sir, today is the 28th, and tomorrow is the 29th. We will have two days off."
County Magistrate Tang then slapped his forehead and said, "It's already the 28th. This isn't right. Shouldn't your ten-day holiday be on the 29th and the 1st?"
"The school officials said that the morning is the most important part of a day's plan, and the first day of a month is the most important part of a month's plan. So the school rules have been changed. From now on, there will be no holiday on the first day of the new year. Everyone must go back to school to attend classes."
County Magistrate Tang was very curious, "But on the first day of the new year...what if some students want to accompany their elderly family members to the mountains to worship Buddha or visit the Tao?"
Bai Shan said expressionlessly: "The academic officials said that this is a filial piety. They should approve their request for leave."
County Magistrate Tang stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked, "How do you think the officials will approve my request for leave?"
"It depends. Some officers like ornate articles, some prefer simple ones, and some just want to know if you're lying or not. ..."
County Magistrate Tang understood that the approval of leave was entirely based on their preferences.
He couldn't help but burst out laughing, clapping his hands and saying, "That's a good idea. The people living near Buddhist and Taoist temples often complain that on the first day of every month, people riding horses around the fields damage the crops. Some of them are fine if they happen to be there, as they usually get some compensation, but others just leave behind horse hoof prints. I've investigated and found that the students from your prefectural school are the ones who do the most damage."
Bai Shan said: "That's not me. I don't need to worship Buddha or seek Taoism."
"I didn't say it was you..." As the two of them chatted, Manbao put down the backpack and began to look at his eyelids. After feeling his pulse, he asked County Magistrate Tang, "Besides your forehead and face, are there any other injuries?"
County Magistrate Tang glanced leisurely down at the man on the ground and said, "It took his subordinates several days to catch him, so I told them to go back and rest. Aren't you a doctor? Take a guess."
Manbao: ...Can this be guessed?
She is a doctor, not a fortune teller.
However, there are only a few ways to make someone faint.
Seeing that he couldn't wake up for a while, Manbao grabbed his shoulders and tried to turn him over to look at his neck and the back of his head.
Bai Shan squatted down to help.
When County Magistrate Tang saw her groping around and actually taking out the needle bag from her backpack, he couldn't help but walk over, leaned over, and looked at her for a moment before saying, "Are you really planning on treating him?"
Manbao was stunned for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Didn't you call me here to treat him?"
County Magistrate Tang coughed lightly and said quickly, "That's right, I asked you to treat him. Put everything else aside and wake him up first."
Bai Shan glanced at him, and his hands became a little rude. He forcefully bent his shoulders towards him so that Manbao on the opposite side could see more clearly.
Manbao nodded to County Magistrate Tang, indicating that there was no problem at all.
Then the two of them saw her picking out the needles in the needle bag. It seemed that the needles became thicker and longer as she picked. Not only County Magistrate Tang, but also Bai Shan looked away.
County Magistrate Tang was afraid he would feel dizzy, so he turned his head away from the long needles Manbao was picking out and asked, "Is he okay? Can he be tortured?"
Manbao said: "He didn't have any serious problems, he just hit his head, so he fainted."
County Magistrate Tang nodded, lowered his head to look at the robber, and felt something was wrong.
Why did he feel that this person's eyelids were trembling?
Bai Shan didn't want to look at the needles Manbao picked out, and the person he was carrying felt a bit heavy, so he just stared at him.
I also noticed that his eyelids were trembling.
Bai Shan blinked and looked up at Man Bao opposite him.
Manbao finally picked out a needle that she was particularly satisfied with. She smiled sweetly at him and said, "Okay, put him down."
Bai Shan loosened his grip and the robber fell to the mat with a thud.
Manbao took a thick and long needle and inserted it into his Ren Zhong acupoint quickly, fiercely and accurately.
The person who had his eyes closed suddenly opened them and screamed.
Manbao said slowly, "Just scream. The louder you scream, the deeper the needle will go in, and eventually it will be completely inserted."
The robber's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
County Magistrate Tang: "...I asked you to come here to treat people, not to scare them unconscious. How can I interrogate someone if they're unconscious?"
Manbao didn't expect him to be so easily frightened. He felt a little embarrassed and quickly pulled out the needle.
Bai Shan said: "It's nothing, just give it another shot and use a thicker needle."
Manbao said, "No, it won't be easy to pierce if it's any thicker."
Then she inserted the needle she had just pulled out and turned it twice, and the person who had fainted suddenly opened his eyes again.
Manbao smiled slightly and pulled out the needle quickly this time.
The robber covered his nose and looked at the three people surrounding him with trembling body. There were also many yamen runners guarding nearby.
County Magistrate Tang straightened up and asked kindly, "When did you wake up?"
The robber trembled, "Just now."
County Magistrate Tang smiled slightly, not caring whether what he said was true or false. He waved his hand and two yamen runners rushed up and took the man to the center of the hall to kneel.
It was the first time for Manbao and Baishan to witness the trial of a robber. They were both quite excited and immediately stood beside County Magistrate Tang.
County Magistrate Tang glanced at them and said nothing.
At this time, the county lieutenant had not arrived yet.
County Magistrate Tang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and without waiting for him, he picked up the gavel and banged it, saying, "Everyone kneeling in the hall, report your names and household registrations!"
