Guanghua Temple was only eight miles away from the capital. Not far out of the city, one could see checkpoints set up on the official road, and notices were posted to direct smallpox patients to where to go.
The carriage sped along the road and soon saw Guanghua Temple standing on a hill.
Guanghua Temple covers a large area and is located on high ground. Locking the patients in the temple can prevent them from running around.
When the convoy arrived at Guanghua Temple, Chen Qi was already there with people to greet them. After entering the temple, the sick children's families lined up at the door, and when they saw Miss Jun and her group coming in, they all rushed forward.
"Doctor Jun, help me."
Someone cried out loudly.
Chen Qi immediately clicked his tongue at the man.
"Aren't you here to save lives?" he glared.
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctors." Others hurriedly followed suit.
Compared to the people outside the city who were only worried about their children getting sick, the children here were already sick, and their emotions were even more intense. Many of them even fainted on the ground crying.
This scene made the doctors feel both excited and heavy-hearted.
"We have been given such great expectations. What will we do if we fail to achieve our goals?" said a doctor, looking at the people who were being persuaded to leave.
This made everyone feel a little heavy.
Yes, they were so excited along the way that they forgot that what they were going to do was not very certain.
Now the enthusiasm of the people has been completely aroused. In their eyes, these doctors can save them. If...
The doctors who had just arrived at the main hall of Guanghua Temple all quieted down.
All the monks in the hall had been asked to leave, and the majestic, tall, and magnificent Buddha statue was still sitting quietly, with water and land paintings covering the walls on both sides.
This Guanghua Temple was once a royal temple of the previous dynasty. The Buddha statues and water and land paintings inside are much more magnificent than other temples in terms of specifications, brushwork, coloring, style and scale.
In the past, the place was bustling with believers and monks and was full of noise, but now the quiet hall was more solemn and dignified than ever before.
The sound of footsteps was heard in the silence, attracting everyone's attention. They saw that it was Miss Jun who walked to the painting on the wall and looked at it with some curiosity.
"These are the nine Buddhas, ten Bodhisattvas, ten Vidyarajas, and sixteen Arhats." She scanned the hall and said, "They are truly magnificent and lifelike."
Guanghua Temple's water and land paintings are famous, but now is not the time to appreciate them.
The doctors looked at Miss Jun with complicated expressions.
After Miss Jun finished looking at the mural, she retracted her gaze and stood in front of the Buddha statue in the middle, looking up.
The palace fell silent again, but the doctors could not calm down.
What is this for? You should at least follow some rules when you come here. How can this girl enjoy the view?
"Miss Jun." Doctor Feng was the most familiar with her and took the initiative to speak.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Miss Jun turned around and snorted at them.
"Listen," she said.
hear?
What to listen to?
Doctor Feng and the others were somewhat puzzled, but they still listened quietly. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and concentrate.
The hall became even quieter, as if nothing existed.
I don’t know if it was because everyone was holding their breath and keeping silent, or because of the solemnity of the Buddha statues around them, but everyone just felt their hearts gradually calm down.
However…
"What are you listening to?" a doctor couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't you hear the Buddha speaking?" Miss Jun said.
Is the Buddha speaking?
The doctors looked surprised. What was going on? They were all doctors. Although they were not as respectful of saints and humanity as the students, they were people who dealt with birth, aging, illness and death, so naturally they would not talk about strange things.
What did the Buddha say?
Miss Jun looked at them and smiled.
"You didn't hear it," she said.
We heard nothing but the devil.
The doctors looked at her, and some of them couldn't help frowning.
Miss Jun clasped her hands together and lowered her eyes slightly.
"Then I'll tell you," she said, "I heard Buddha say, just do good deeds and don't worry about the future."
Buddha said: just do good deeds and don’t worry about the future.
The doctors in the hall were stunned, and they silently repeated these words in their hearts, and then their expressions changed.
They understood what Miss Jun meant.
"Yes, but do good deeds without worrying about the future." Doctor Feng said with some regret, "We know what we are doing now and we just need to do it. As for whether we can accomplish it, we have to do our best and leave it to fate. As long as we have done our best, we will have a clear conscience and will not regret or feel guilty."
The other doctor also nodded.
"Yes, the ancient sages also said that we should not avoid danger, day and night, cold and heat, hunger, thirst, or fatigue, but should focus on saving lives without any intention of showing off. In this way, we can be great doctors for the people." He bowed and said, "Since we are seeing so many patients, we should focus on saving lives."
The doctors all nodded, their expressions no longer excited but also no longer anxious. They looked up at the Buddhist temple, just as Miss Jun had just done, wondering if it was really this majestic appearance that made them feel calm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
This tone was accumulated from the time Miss Jun came to ask for their help yesterday, the time when Old Doctor Feng persuaded them to agree at night, and the time they had accumulated all the way from the city to Guanghua Temple.
This tone contained a mixture of shock, excitement, fear, and a little joy, all of which accumulated in my disturbed heart and made my mind buzz.
Now that I've let out this breath, I feel like I've been reborn.
"Miss Jun, what should we do first?" Old Doctor Feng looked at Miss Jun and asked.
"Let's go see these sick children first," said Miss Jun, "and then discuss treatment methods together."
The doctors nodded and followed Miss Jun out of the Buddhist temple.
Chen Qi was waiting outside with his men.
"Everyone's accommodation has been arranged." He said, and pointed with his hand, "The patients are all arranged in the back hall."
Following his lead, Miss Jun led a group of doctors to the back hall.
"Manager Qi, these doctors look strange." A waiter standing beside Chen Qi whispered.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qi said, glaring at the clerk, "Call me Manager Chen."
The waiter chuckled and watched the people in front approach the back hall, and then walked into the house under the excited guidance of the patient's family.
"You look unhappy and sullen," he whispered.
Chen Qi pouted.
"You know shit." He said, "That's obviously calmness. Have you ever seen a doctor smiling while treating patients? Empathy, compassion, not being arrogant or impatient, and not showing sadness or joy, this is how patients can be comforted, and this is also treatment."
The young man chuckled.
"Seventh Boss, you know so much," he said.
Chen Qi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stroked his chin and looked at the doctors who walked out of one room and entered another.
It's really strange. The expressions of these doctors have become really different. Now they look like doctors treating patients, unlike the previous attitude of rushing people to do something.
It seems that it is quite effective for doctors to pray to Buddha before seeing patients. No wonder Miss Jun did not go to see the patients when she came in but took them straight to the Buddhist temple first.
…
After seeing the smallpox patients in more than a dozen rooms, the doctors gathered again in the Buddhist temple.
"We will discuss how to prescribe medicine and treat the disease here later," said Miss Jun.
This hall is too big, isn't it? Why is it here? There are still a few empty rooms in the back hall.
The doctors glanced around subconsciously and saw that tables and chairs had already been placed in the hall in front of the Buddha statue, which looked a bit strange.
But there's nothing strange about it. This is not a clinic. Everything here would be strange. Let's not worry about these little things. Let's just talk about the most important thing right now, which is curing the disease.
"As for the acne, most of these people have been ill for more than three days and are in critical condition."
“Then these people must use different medications.”
"Then let's use the honey hemp method."
The doctors were talking, and Miss Jun picked up her pen as she listened.
"Besides honey and sesame, I have another recipe," she said.
She had a way to deal with it.
The doctors breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her, but Miss Jun did not put pen to paper but paused for a moment.
"But this method will cause great pain to the patient," she said.
The doctors said hi.
"Miss Jun, don't think about this now."
"It's good enough to be able to cure diseases and save lives. Can the pain be worse than losing one's life?"
Miss Jun smiled.
"That's right." She said, "But let's put it this way. This method can be used on patients under three days old. Their spirits can still hold on. For those who are more than three days old and in critical condition, we should still use the honey and hemp method, and then use medicine to make them feel better, and then use my method."
The doctors nodded.
Miss Jun picked up her pen and wrote a prescription while the doctors watched.
"This prescription is indeed something we have never seen before." Everyone said with great excitement. Something they had never seen before must have miraculous effects. They immediately went out one after another, "We will prepare the medicine according to the method."
Miss Jun watched them walk out quickly, turned her head to look at the tall Buddha statue, then walked out with her head lowered.
