Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 140 Doctor Haoxu

In a small village in the State of Chu.

Inside the room, a handsome man was lying on the shabby bed.

His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his lips were bloodless.

The worn blanket covering the man looked out of place.

"squeak"

The door was gently pushed open and a man about twenty years old walked in.

The man was holding a bowl of medicine in his hand and was dressed simply.

Walking to the bed, the man first put the medicine bowl away, then helped the man on the bed to stand up, held the man in his arms, skillfully opened the man's mouth with one hand, and picked up the medicine bowl with the other hand to help him drink.

In an instant, the medicine flowed out from the corners of the man's mouth and dripped onto his clothes.

Seeing that the medicine in the bowl was finished, he put the bowl down and took the handkerchief that was stained with the medicine but not washed clean to wipe the man's face.

Seeing that the man still hadn't woken up, he put him down and went out with the bowl of medicine.

"Master, it's been two days, and that person still hasn't woken up."

The man is really Zhuo Mu, one of the disciples of Doctor Hao Xu.

Since escaping from the King of Chu's Palace that day, Zhuomu did not follow his master's instructions to escape with his fellow disciples and his master's wife. Instead, he let the others leave first and stayed in Shouchun City, waiting for news from his master.

"You can wake up today."

Haoxu was wearing coarse clothes, chopping firewood and wiping the sweat off his face casually.

Originally, the King of Chu died suddenly, and Haoxu was ready to die. However, who would have thought that Prince You suddenly launched a mutiny, Ling Yin Changjing died, and Prince You became the King of Chu.

He took advantage of the chaos in the palace and escaped in a hurry.

I originally wanted to go to Xianyang in Qin State, but unexpectedly I met Zhuomu outside the palace.

The master and his apprentice left Shouchun and came here a month ago. They saw that the villagers were living in hardship and were plagued by illness.

Haoxu, the head of the family, decided to stay here temporarily and provide free medical treatment to the villagers.

There are many medicinal herbs on the nearby mountains, and Haoxu took his disciples to collect some useful herbs.

This delay lasted more than a month.

A few days ago, the two were collecting herbs in the mountains and saw a seriously ill person. If he was not treated, he would die soon.

Haoxu immediately decided to bring people back.

"Master, I'll chop some wood. You can take a rest."

Zhuomu washed the medicine bowl and put it away, then came out to take the tools from Haoxu.

"No need. Go get the herbs and dry them in the sun. Once the man is well, we'll leave."

"promise."

The master and disciple were busy until the afternoon.

Inside the room, Dan slowly opened his eyes, looking a little confused.

It took a while before I reacted.

He was fleeing all the way from Qin State, and halfway he heard the news that Qin had destroyed Yan State. He was so angry that he fell ill.

Helplessly, he had to flee to the State of Chu with his sick body.

On the way, he met a merchant from Chu State. The man saw that he was alone and said that he could give him a ride.

Who would have thought that this person was a vicious wolf.

He actually planned to sell himself to someone else.

Fortunately, I heard the man's conversation and found a chance to escape, eventually escaping into the mountains.

In addition, his health had just improved, and he suffered another blow, so he fell ill.

I walked for two days, and my last memory was when I fainted.

Dan sat up slowly and looked at the furnishings in the room.

In the past, even when he was a hostage in Qin State, he had never lived in such a simple place.

Was this rescued by farmers?

Accompanied by a cough,

Dan just realized that his mouth tasted bitter. He lowered his head and saw a stain on his clothes on his chest.

"squeak"

The door was pushed open from the outside and a man walked in.

"you're awake."

When Zhuomu heard the noise, he put down the herbs in his hand and pushed open the door to go into the house.

Seeing Dan already sitting on the bed, he walked over happily.

"Since you're awake, it means you're fine."

"Rest well for a while and your illness will be cured."

When Dan saw Zhuomu coming forward, he grabbed his wrist and started taking his pulse.

The struggling movement stopped.

"Well, there's no big problem."

"Thank you, what's your name?"

Dan bowed and thanked him.

"A certain doctor is a good doctor."

"I went into the mountains with my master to collect herbs. I saw you unconscious, so I brought you back."

"Who are you?"

Dan dropped his eyelids.

"I, Danzhu, was tricked this time and had to flee to the mountains."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhuomu and Master Ling, for saving me."

"Then you should have a good rest. I still have things to do."

Having said that, Zhuo Mu stood up and left.

Dan leaned on the bed, motionless for a long time, wondering what he was thinking about.

In this way, after another two days, Dan was able to get up and move around.

"Thank you, Doctor Haoxu, for saving my life."

After being able to get out of bed, Dan walked out of the room and saw Haoxu who was busy, and thanked him solemnly.

"That's not necessary. Saving the dying and healing the wounded is our duty as doctors."

"After you recover in a few days, my disciple and I will leave this place."

You've delayed us for a long time.

I wonder how my family is doing now?

"I wonder where the doctor is going?"

"Go to Qin."

Qin!

When Dan heard this word, the faint smile on his face paused for a moment.

"Is the doctor from Qin?"

Haoxu saw that Danzhu was chatting with him out of boredom, but he didn't care and continued to busy himself with his hands and answered.

"No, I am from Chu."

"Why did Doctor Haoxu abandon Chu and go to Qin?"

Haoxu glanced at Danzhu.

"Do you know the Right Prime Minister of Qin, Saint Zhang?"

……

"Of course I've heard of it."

Dan clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves, fearing that he would lose control and reveal a flaw.

"The Right Prime Minister gifted my family many medical books, which can be said to be the greatest treasures of the medical family."

"I want to go to Xianyang to look at those medical books. If I don't have the chance to see them, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Danzhu once again wishes that Doctor Haoxu will achieve his wish in Xianyang."

"Hahaha, that's natural."

When talking about medical books, Haoxu's face smiled a lot more.

"What are your plans?"

Dan thought for a moment before saying, "Danzhu was murdered by thieves this time, and his family was also killed."

"Danzhu has no ambitions, he just wants to find that villain and take revenge."

The world is in chaos, and Haoxu has seen too many things like this. After hearing Danzhu say this, he didn't say much.

Everyone has his or her own way of living.

We doctors can cure diseases, but we cannot cure the many sufferings in this world.

Half a month later, Dan had recovered and bid farewell to Master Haoxu and his disciple.

After Dan left, Haoxu and Zhuomu also prepared to pack up and head to Qin.

When the villagers knew that the doctor was leaving, they came to try to keep him.

"Thank you all for your kindness, but my medical skills are still not good enough, and I need to go back and study more."

"Therefore, I cannot stay here for long. Please forgive me."

"If the doctor wants to leave, we will naturally not stop him."

"We are grateful to the doctor for treating us these days. Now that he is gone, I am heartbroken. Please take care of yourself and return to Qin soon."

"Thank you."

After Haoxu and Zhuomu left, the village returned to its former tranquility.

However, the words of Haoxu and Zhuomu still caused some ripples in the hearts of these people.

Just wait for it to surge up one day.

Why is the Qin State so good?

So the Prime Minister of Qin is really a saint of the time?

What does a saint look like?

Could the people of Qin really have enough to eat?
