Chapter 224 Free Clinic
Outside the city, when Shi Xiaoliu and the other two arrived near the Taoist temple, they saw a long line outside the temple.
As Shi Xiaoliu and his sister and Xia Yu walked forward, they finally reached the entrance of the Taoist temple.
The crowd blocked the entrance to the Taoist temple, and the Taoist boy stood guard at the entrance: "Don't worry, come one by one."
Shi Xiaoliu waved at him, and he saw that Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were carrying baskets full of medicinal herbs.
"Everyone, please make way. The herb deliverymen are here. Let them come in first."
Only then could Shi Xiaoliu and the other two squeeze into the entrance of the Taoist temple. The Taoist boy also recognized Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan at this time and said, "Your master is waiting for you inside."
When the three of them turned around the screen, they saw the abbot and Master Decheng already providing free medical consultation.
When Master Decheng saw Shi Xiaoliu, he pointed to the empty table beside him and said, "Xiaoliu, please go over the guests' situation first."
Shi Xiaoliu handed the backpack to Xia Yu, moved the table forward, and then turned to ask the abbot: "Abbot, what kind of patients are you good at treating?"
"I can do anything."
The temple master was actually not very confident in Shi Xiaoliu's medical skills, but Master Decheng told him that just letting Shi Xiaoliu go over the patient's condition would not affect their diagnosis and treatment of the patient's illness.
The abbot whispered to the Taoist boy beside him, "You can let people in, up to five people at a time."
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu walked in and saw Master Shanzheng and the Taoist priests from the Taoist temple already standing in front of the medicine cabinet.
The Taoist priest checked the three baskets of herbs sent by Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, and said in surprise: "You have processed the herbs very well."
Xia Yu smiled and said, "We just dried the herbs according to the normal processing method."
Shanzheng Zhenren arranged for them to pick up some medicine. He explained to the Taoist priest, “They both know the most basic medicinal herbs.”
The Taoist looked at Shi Zelan and Xia Yu with some concern, and said to Master Shanzheng, "They probably can't understand our master's prescription."
"You are responsible for your temple master's prescription."
They had already seen people being let in. The Taoist boy guided the patients to register at Shi Xiaoliu's table first and told them that their medical treatment would be in the care of the temple master and Master Decheng.
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu looked at the excitement in front of them. After a while, they no longer had time to pay attention to what was happening in front of them, so they started to get busy.
In addition to prescribing medicine, Shi Zelan and Xia Yu were also responsible for preparing paper and ink for Master Decheng and Shi Xiaoliu.
When there are too many patients, they have to help take care of them and comfort them.
When it was three o'clock in the afternoon and they were about to leave, there was still a steady stream of people outside who had heard the news and rushed over.
When Shi Xiaoliu and his sister and Xia Yu left the Taoist temple, they looked exhausted.
They saw the line outside getting longer and longer and just looked up at the sky.
There will be no rain in the next two days, and the Taoist temple's master has also made it clear that the temple can only provide free herbs for three days.
For some more troublesome diseases, patients still need to go to the city to buy medicine.
The three of them returned to the yard and looked at each other. Shi Xiaoliu asked Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, "Can you still gather two baskets of herbs?"
Xia Yu shook her head: "I only have a basket of herbs."
"I have two baskets of herbs, and I can give Xia Yu some."
The three of them discussed what herbs to bring the next day and then went into their rooms.
It was getting dark, Shi Xiaoliu left the room and hung the lantern outside the courtyard gate.
He stood at the gate of the yard and looked at the lanterns hanging outside the doors of each house, and then looked at the lights in the courtyards of each house.
Shi Xiaoliu loved the smell of fireworks. He turned and entered the yard and saw Shi Zelan sitting under the eaves.
He closed the courtyard door, sat down on the eaves, and asked Shi Zelan: "Are you tired today?"
"I am tired in my heart, but not in my body."
"Yes, I never thought that there are so many sick people and so much suffering in this world."
Shi Zelan looked at the expression on his face and smiled: "Brother Xiaoliu, even if you don't embark on the path of cultivation, you still have the potential to become a famous doctor."
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and shook her head: “Sister Lan, it’s very difficult.
It was only because I took the path of spiritual practice that I had the opportunity to learn medical skills.
If anyone in our clan has the talent to study medicine, I will do my best to support them. ”
After they talked for a while, they went back to their rooms to practice.
The next day, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two went to the Taoist temple. When they saw people queuing up and almost reaching the city gate, they frowned for a moment.
Xia Yu whispered, "The noise is too loud and will cause dissatisfaction among the pharmacies in the city."
After they arrived at the Taoist temple, the temple master asked Shi Xiaoliu to treat the patients directly: "Your medical skills are not weak. If you encounter a patient with a serious condition, you can transfer him to me and your master."
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu were arranged to sit in the front to register the patients' conditions. Shi Zelan was surprised to find that there were two more little monks in the Taoist temple today.
When the Taoist boy let everyone in, Shi Zelan had no time to think about other things. Although she only had basic knowledge of pharmacology, she still treated every customer with her heart.
At the end of the day, Shi Zelan couldn't remember how many patients' conditions he had recorded, and they all had to stay overnight in the Taoist temple.
At dusk, the Taoist boy said to the people queuing outside the door: "I will issue numbers to the first 100 people. You don't have to wait in line here at night."
After a while, the door of the Taoist temple was closed, but there were still many people outside.
In the yard, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other. They had talked too much that day and were not in the mood to talk at the moment.
Shanzheng Zhenren came over to check on their situation and said with a smile, "Have a good rest tonight. You will be busy for another day tomorrow, and you will be able to have a good rest the day after tomorrow."
"Master, will there be fewer people tomorrow?"
"No, but after noon, the temple master will arrange to check on the situation."
Shi Zelan felt much more relieved, and said to Master Shanzheng with a smile: "Master, Xiao Yingzi said that brother of that family is going to take the imperial examination.
She and I agreed to send that brother to the examination hall together. ”
Shanzheng Zhenren immediately understood what Shi Zelan meant, and said with a smile: "The abbot is a compassionate person, but he can't create more herbs out of nothing."
"Master, are you tired these two days?"
"I'm not tired. I'm prepared."
After Master Shanzheng left, Master Decheng came again. He directly pointed out the shortcomings of Shi Xiaoliu's medical treatment today: "Xiaoliu, you have to believe in your medical skills.
With your current medical skills, you can work as a doctor in a small pharmacy. ”
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu showed expressions of surprise and joy, and then they were both taught by Master Decheng.
"Xia Yu, Lan Jie'er, you are also people who understand pharmacology, but you lack some experience. You need to be braver."
Shi Zelan looked at Master Decheng and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Master, I'm afraid I'm wrong. Life and death are important matters in life."
"Pfft, anyone who can come here standing, no matter what serious illness he has, can be saved."
