FAN Dai looked at Liu Bang doubtfully and asked, "Can this be true?"
"I have brought a physician from Si water. That Si water physician is quite famous."
"He said, there's no way to cure it."
Liu Bang asked doubtfully, "There's no way to cure it?"
"Is that doctor really saying that?"
Fan Kui nodded, "Indeed."
Liu Bang pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, you should go and cook the medicine first."
"Let's cook the medicine first, and the garlic won't hurt anyone even if it's eaten too much."
"I'll go see that physician."
After saying that, he asked concurrently: "Where did you set up the dispensary?"
"I will go and see, and at the same time, express my greetings to my brothers who stayed with me in these mountains and marshes."
Fan Kui hurriedly said, "Liu Ji, don't do such things."
"There are all plague patients in the dispensary. What's the difference between you going there now and going into a tiger's mouth?"
Liu Bang's face hardened, "Go into a tiger's mouth?"
"They are all my brothers, what's the talk about a tiger's mouth?"
"Damn it, the people followed me because they think they will have a good life with me. Now that they are sick, am I going to abandon them?"
"To act in this manner, what is the difference between me and an animal?"
Fan Kui was taken aback and knew that Liu Bang was indeed like that. He said, "Then go ahead."
"It's down there, by the mountain stream."
......
Liu Bang quickly went to the downstream of the mountain stream. Here, Fan Kui had already set up a simple shelter using plants from the mountain.
It happens that this is the mountain ridge position, which is relatively dry near the ridge and will not cause discomfort when living there.
"Fan Kui really went to the trouble."
Liu Bang smiled, he never expected Fan Kui, this rough man, to have such a thoughtful heart.
He walked to the outside of the shelter, where there were about seven or eight people inside:
These are the people who have already contracted the plague, and their symptoms are not severe by comparison.
Liu Bang walked to the side of the shelter, next to the person who looked like a physician, and greeted him by saying, "Mr., are you the physician that Fan Kui has invited?"
"May I ask, is there any way to treat these people's plague?"
He knew that asking was futile; if there was a cure, it would have been done already. But since Fan Kui had gone to such great lengths to invite him, he at least owed Fan Kui a favor.
The physician did not look at him, but said simply, "There is no way to treat it."
"The plague is not easily treatable with any good formulas, currently in the whole of Qin."
"It can only be about trying to eat and drink as much as possible."
"I am not good at it either."
？
Liu Bang felt puzzled immediately, "Then, Mr., what did you come here for?"
Damn it, bringing an physician up to Mang Yang mountain at least costs a copper coin.
Fan Kui spends a copper coin to invite you here, and you just sit outside?
So cold and indifferent?
The physician shook his head, with a voice full of indifference, "I can only try to alleviate their pain as much as possible."
"I am boiling a warm body medicine now. People who have contracted the plague will experience overall body coldness. After taking this medicine, they can only feel more comfortable."
He had seen so many people like Liu Bang that his attitude did not change:
He is a physician, and he doesn't want to watch people die——
Which doctor, will want to see people die? I learned medicine just for the sake of curing diseases and saving lives?
But it's no use, there's just no way.
Liu Bang helplessly said, "I'm sorry, Mr."
"I was also heartless for a moment, seeing my brothers waiting to die, I had no choice."
The physician waved his hand, his voice calm: "I understand, it's alright, Liu Tingzhang."
"Actually, I am quite impressed with you, for the sake of so many people, you are working hard."
"I'll tell you the truth."
"The plague, my ancestor said, no one in the world can cure."
"Unless someone can summon the far-off Zhao Zi, it may have a chance."
His voice remained very calm.
He dared not let any emotion seep through. He had seen too much.
Liu Bang hesitated for a moment, took out a plate of pills, and asked, "I have a pill that the Zhao Zi's medicine, do you want to... take a look?"
The physician laughed lightly, "Zhao Zi? That's already a dead man... ah?"
Liu Bang was puzzled. What's going on? Why does this person only say half of the words... "Ah, ah, ah, Mr., what are you doing? Don't grab it..."
"Zhao Zi's medicine?"
Upon seeing Liu Bang holding the medicine with pain, the physician who had previously shown no emotions was immediately excited. "What? Liu Tingzhang, do you actually have Zhao Zi's medicine here?"
Liu Bang was puzzled. The physician, who had just moments ago spoken with a cold tone as if all things in the world had nothing to do with him, why would he suddenly become excited?
The physician quickly stood up and said, "Could I please have a look at the medicine left behind by Zhao Zi Mr.?"
"In the ancestral classics, I have seen the unique shape of Zhao Zi's medicine, just like yours!"
"Zhao Zi called this... a capsule!"
"Only the Zhao Zi can have such skills and make such capsules among all doctors in the world!"
Liu Bang suspiciously took out a pill from the medicine left by Zhao Zi, and handed it to the physician. The physician was immediately excited: "That's right, that's how it is! That's exactly how it is!"
"My master said that Zhao Zi's lineage cannot imitate the kind of pills made by their founding master no matter what, and the efficacy is not even close."
"This is the only medicine that only Zhao Zi can produce!"
He looked at Liu Bang with deep respect:
He never expected that, coming to treat patients in a mountain ravine, he would actually encounter someone who knew Zhao Zi!
"What is your relationship with Zhao Zi?"
Liu Bang looked at the physician's excited expression, thought for a moment, and said: "It can be said... brothers?"
The physician looked at Liu Bang's elderly face, devoid of collagen, and acknowledged with admiration, "I didn't expect you to have such a high rank!"
"You can be considered as an ancestor!"
"Ancestor?"
Liu Bang immediately froze, how did my rank suddenly increase so much?
The physician was very excited and said to Liu Bang, "Since you have the pills given by Mr. Zhao Zi, may I ask, does Mr. Liu have any instructions on how to take them from Mr. Zhao Zi?"
"How to take it... Liu Bang really does remember, 'Take it before eating.'"
"Good, the meat soup hasn't been cooked yet. I'll prepare it now."
Suddenly, both the physician and Liu Bang sneezed at the same time.
The pungent smell of garlic wafted over, and the physician asked, "Liu Tingzhang, what's going on?"
"Isn't it better to use witchcraft here? You are someone who knows Zhao Zi. Why do you still practice this?"
Liu Bang shook his head and said, "It's not witchcraft."
"It's the pharmacy opened by Mr. Zhao Zi, he said it might be useful."
The physician's eyes suddenly blazed with excitement as he looked at Liu Bang: "Liu Tingzhang, how can you still have prescriptions opened by Mr. Zhao Zi?"
"Even if the ancestors haven't seen Mr. Zhao Zi's prescriptions himself!"
"If we're lucky, could we have the opportunity to see it with our own eyes?"
