Although Bai Shan had never thought of hiring any staff, Zhou Man decided to introduce Cui Langjun to them because he was nice to talk to.
As a local official, it is also a good thing to interact with local scribes.
So Zhou Man invited them to have dinner together in the evening.
Several people readily agreed and introduced themselves to Zhou Man by the way, "I am Pang Xu in Qingzhou."
"I'm in Liuyang, Qingzhou."
"I'm with Cui Yuan in Qingzhou."
"I'm in Qingzhou, Zhao Rui."
Zhou Man was curious, "Are you all still studying now?"
The four of them said: "With limited knowledge and age, I am really embarrassed to study with the primary school students in school, so now I am studying in a cottage outside Qingzhou City."
Zhou Man couldn't agree with their point of view, "It is because of limited knowledge that we should need the guidance of our teachers. How can we not enroll in school just because we are embarrassed? Confucius could be a teacher to children, but now you just have to do it with children."
Just classmates."
Cui Yuan: "...Not everyone can have such a big heart as an adult. The four of us are far behind."
Pang Xu and the others were very uncomfortable with Cui Yuan's changes. If the real person hadn't been in front of them all the time, they would have almost suspected that he had been replaced.
Zhou Man thought about it and realized that he really couldn't demand others based on his own state of mind, because everyone is different.
"That's all, just sit back and wait. When the court hearing is over, I will take you back to the county office to see Magistrate Bai."
Cui Yuan and others smiled and said that they were not in a hurry at all.
The four of them relaxed a little. After relaxing, they discovered that there were two long tables behind Zhou Man, with chairs placed in front of and behind them. Next to them, there was a flag with the word "Free Clinic" written on it.
There is a gourd hanging.
Cui Yuan: "This is?"
"Free clinic," Zhou Man said, "Four of you, please step aside. We have to receive patients."
The four of them looked back and realized that there were two women holding two children behind them. They wanted to come forward but did not dare to, so they immediately stepped aside.
Zhou Man quickly waved to them and asked, "Is anyone feeling unwell?"
A woman looked at another person, then took the child's hand and came forward, smiling sheepishly at Zhou Man, "Mr. Zhou, why did you move the medical department here? Is this the same as when you used to walk on the street?
Is it the same as the free clinic in Chuanxiang?”
Zhou Man nodded and asked, "Do you want to see it?"
The woman immediately pulled her son forward and said, "I don't want to see it. I, I want to show it to my son."
She said: "I don't know what's wrong with this child recently. He always loves to cry, is noisy, and likes to eat his hands. Sometimes he twitches when he sleeps at night. Maybe he is frightened..."
The woman on the side immediately said: "Our mother-in-law has already gone to worship Grandpa Tu, but the child is still not well. The old people said that we have to go to the City God Temple."
So the two wanted to ask when the Yamen could move the prisoners out of the Chenghuang Temple so that they could go in and pay homage.
Zhou Man: "...when did the child start to panic and cry?"
The two recalled it for a while and said uncertainly: "It seems to have been five days ago."
They hesitated for a moment and then said: "My mother-in-law said that because the county magistrate has recently arrested too many murderers and brought them back to the city, the fierceness in the city is too strong. When the children sleep at night, they are easily associated with the nightmares of those murderers, so they are frightened."
So whether it's the antecedent or the consequence, it seems to be related to Bai Shan's arrest.
Zhou Man was speechless for a long time. After checking the child, he asked him some questions and then told them, "He was frightened, but it's not just frightened."
"In this way, I will give him two injections in a while, and then give him a medicine. You can take it to him before going to bed, and stroke his back more when he goes to bed at night." Zhou Man warned: "You can usually eat more eggs and soy products.
, beans, tofu and all these can be eaten.”
When the woman next to her heard this, she immediately pushed her son to Zhou Man, "Mr. Zhou, look at my son, is he also frightened?"
Zhou Man lowered his head to look, and the little boy also raised his head to look at her. His eyes were round, full of energy, and his face was rosy.
Zhou Man pinched his fleshy cheek. No wonder so many people liked to pinch her when she was a child.
She asked the little boy, "Did you cry when you went to bed at night?"
Little boy: "I'm not crying. I'm not a cousin, I'm just a crybaby."
Zhou Man nodded and took back his hand, and said to the woman: "The child is growing. If you want to grow taller and be in better health, you can eat more beans and eggs."
After the woman heard this sentence, she was satisfied. Even if her son had no medicine, she would not ask for it anymore.
Zhou Man asked the child to sit on a chair, and then took out the needle. The child's mouth tightened and he cried.
Zhou Man took a look, inserted the needle back into the needle bag, put the needle bag aside, turned the direction of the chair, lifted up his clothes, gently pressed the acupuncture points on the back of his neck and back with his fingers, and said warmly:
"That's all, just don't prick you, I'll press it for you."
The child was sobbing and sobbing. He found that Zhou Man really didn't prick him, but pressed his fingers on his back and neck. Although it hurt sometimes, it was not very painful, so he slowly stopped crying.
Zhou Man pressed for a long time, rubbing his thumb to find the acupuncture point to be inserted, pressing it with the thumb of his left hand, and quickly took out a needle from the needle bag with his right hand and inserted it...
The woman was about to speak, but she saw that her son just moved his buttocks, turned his head slightly, and felt her hand stroking down his back. He became quiet again, completely unaware that he had been injected with a needle.
.
The woman was surprised when she saw that such a long needle had been inserted into her son's body, leaving only the upper part. Cui Yuan and the others also widened their eyes.
Wen Tiandong stood aside and observed and studied carefully.
Zhou Man inserted three needles. After all of them were inserted, he asked the little boy to sit still and took his hand to massage the acupuncture points.
When Zhou Man pulled out the needle, he didn't feel much. The child only felt something strange in a few places on the back of his neck. But he was still young and didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts, so he didn't know what was happening to him.
Wen Tiandong took the medicine for him according to the prescription, gave it to the other person's mother, and said: "If there are poor people around you who get sick from now on, let them come to the medical office."
Zhou Man added: "If you have any physical discomfort, you can also come to the medical office for consultation. For many illnesses, it is useless to pray to God or Buddha."
The two women were unhappy. How could the gods and Buddha be useless?
Man Bao said: "With minor illnesses and pains, gods and Buddhas are very busy, so how can they take care of them? There are so many people in the world praying to gods and worshiping Buddhas. Is your family a person with great merit?"
The two of them were stunned and shook their heads.
Zhou Man then said: "Since you are not a person of great merit, how can you guarantee that the gods and Buddhas will bless you first? So it is better to prepare with both hands. If the gods and Buddhas do not work, you should ask for help first."
Cui Yuan and the other two looked at Zhou Man in surprise, but the two women felt that Zhou Man was right, so they nodded repeatedly to express their understanding.
? ?See you at eight o'clock in the evening
• I went to see Guobo today. There is only one feeling. Compared with the ancestors of wisdom, I am a slag. The ancients of more than 8,000 years ago made various cooking utensils and food appliances that have never been concepts.
