There was a carriage parked outside Hua Tuo's house, and the carriage driver was standing by the carriage. When he saw Zhou Ping and Zhang Wu galloping towards each other, he couldn't help but stare at them.
Zhou Ping felt the carriage driver's eyes fall on the wine gourd at his waist and the bow and arrow Zhang Wu carried.
I don't know if he is sending the patient here, or if he is going to pick up Hua Tuo. In any case, it can at least mean that Divine Doctor Hua is still at home at the moment, and his trip is not in vain.
Zhou Ping jumped off his horse and threw the reins to Zhang Wu. He took off the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip. He then raised it to his ear and shook it gently. He felt that there was very little wine in the gourd. He curled his lips slightly, lifted the wine gourd and put it in the bottle.
He wanted to drink more, but seemed reluctant to let it go. After hesitating, he stuffed it again and tied it around his waist.
Hua Tuo's family often had dignitaries coming. Of course, these dignitaries were also patients, and many of them were military officials. Therefore, there was a horse-tethering post outside the door, and Zhang Wu led two horses to tie them up.
Zhou Ping stretched his hands and feet, smiled at the coachman who was still looking at him in surprise, and then went straight into Hua's house, followed closely by Zhang Wu.
"Yuan Hua, after taking the medicine for the first few times, I feel better now and seem to be fine. Do you think I need to continue taking the medicine?"
Zhou Ping walked outside the hall and saw two people sitting in the hall. One was slightly fat and was putting his hand on the case. The other was Hua Tuo whom he had met before and was putting his hand on that person's wrist to listen for his pulse.
There were patients in the hall, so Zhou Ping didn't want to disturb him. He stood quietly outside the door and waited, while looking at the two people in the hall and listening to their conversation.
After listening to the man's words, Hua Tuo slowly picked up his hand, shook his head and said: "Duyou, although your illness has improved a lot, your body is still weak and you have not recovered. You can no longer take the medicine, but you
Don't do hard work, don't work too hard, especially don't stay in the body. If you stay in the body, you will die. When you die, you will stick out your tongue several inches."
Zhou Ping didn't understand what "imperial" meant at first, but he soon understood that it was actually the case.
What kind of disease did this man have? He was almost cured, but he couldn't even sleep with a woman. He died as soon as he slept, and he died in such an ugly way. It's scary to think about it.
Zhou Ping stretched his ears and continued to listen.
"Don't worry Yuanhua, my wife is at home, more than a hundred miles away from me. We haven't seen each other since I fell ill. It's been nearly three months now. Even if I want to, I have no wife to control! Haha..."
The man whom Hua Tuo called Dun Du Post stood up with a smile. Hearing that he no longer needed to take medicine, he thought he was cured, so he said goodbye to Hua Tuo and left.
When he went out, his face was full of joy and he nodded and smiled at Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping also nodded slightly and watched him go away. He always felt that what Hua Tuo just said was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Zhou Wen'an, why are you here again?"
Hua Tuo saw Zhou Ping outside the door and asked coldly.
It doesn't look like they are welcome.
Zhou Ping walked slowly into the hall and said with a smile: "It's great to have friends from far away! Mr. Hua, I came all the way from Feng County, you can't turn me away. Besides, I'm here to see a doctor."
In order to show respect, Zhou Ping deliberately called Hua Tuo sir, and deliberately raised his voice when he said the word "sir".
But Hua Tuo didn't seem to appreciate it. He stared at him for a moment and continued to say with a cold face: "You are not sick."
Zhou Ping was secretly happy when he heard this. He was afraid that Hua Tuo would say something like "I will die in three days" or "I won't save him in five days." If that happened, he might die of worry even if he wasn't sick.
"Yes, I have a problem. I have a hundred kilograms of gold at home. I always want to use it, but I don't know how to use it. I am worried about it every day, can't eat well, and can't sleep well. You think this is
Not a disease?"
Zhou Ping didn't wait for Hua Tuo to speak, and sat down opposite him. Zhang Wu stood behind him with a baggage on his shoulders.
Hua Tuo's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Ping carefully. He saw that he was wearing silk and the wine gourd hanging around his waist was very exquisite and elegant. So he pondered for a moment and then said: "You can spread the gold to others."
"Spending wealth for no reason would not make others laugh." Zhou Ping said with a smile.
"Then what do you want?" Hua Tuo asked.
Zhou Ping did not answer immediately, but stretched his hands behind him.
Hua Tuo looked at it suspiciously, but saw the entourage standing behind him with his back bowed taking out a piece of gold cake from the bag and putting it in his hand.
Zhou Ping took the gold, put it on the table in front of him, and said in Hua Tuo's astonished eyes: "This is a pound of gold, here for you."
"Give it to me?!" Hua Tuo was even more shocked. Is the man in front of him really sick?!
"Yes, this is a deposit. In terms of medical skills, you are unparalleled in the world. You should write a medical book and record all the diseases you treat. You should clearly write down the cause of the disease, the state of the disease, and how to treat and use medicine.
In five years, I will come to pick up the book, and then I can give you a hundred catties of gold in exchange for the book, how about it?"
Hua Tuo hesitated and looked at the person in front of him in surprise, not quite believing what he said.
Although the medical books you wrote are good, they may not be worth hundreds of gold.
Although the man in front of me is young, looking at his demeanor and appearance, he seems to be a man whose family has a hundred gold coins, which is not a lie. And I heard that this man is quite good at predicting things. Maybe he can predict that the medical book I wrote is worth a hundred gold coins.
indefinite.
Seeing that Hua Tuo hesitated for a long time, Zhou Ping continued: "I, Zhou Ping and Zhou Wen'an, are somewhat famous in Yuzhou. Do you know about Wen'an's plow? Even if you change the straight shaft into a curved shaft... you won't understand even if I tell you, now in Feng County
Everyone in Hepei County uses Wen'an plows. I cooperated with the plow seller and got a lot of money for this..."
Seeing that Hua Tuo was a little impatient, Zhou Ping hurriedly added: "In a few months, I will go to Xuzhou with Liu Shijun. After five years, maybe there is no need to wait five years, but only three years, or even one year."
After that, I will ask Liu Shijun to invite you to be a medical officer, how about that?"
"Not going."
Hua Tuo refused without thinking, which surprised Zhou Ping.
But when I thought about it again, it was true that he even refused the request of Taiwei, let alone a small medical officer.
"Okay, even if you don't go, you can exchange a hundred gold for medical books, right?"
Hua Tuo hesitated again and remained silent for a long time.
"A silent promise is a promise. I will keep this pound of gold. I will pick up the book and say goodbye five years later."
After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he stood up, bowed his hands to Hua Tuo, turned around and walked out quickly, Zhang Wu hurriedly followed.
Hua Tuo looked at the gold on the table, then looked at the figure walking away from the door, then silently picked up the gold cake on the table and looked at it carefully to identify the authenticity.
In this era of huge promises, Hua Tuo was hesitant and did not explicitly refuse. Zhou Ping took it as a promise and left at this time without giving Hua Tuo a clear rejection.
He believed that Hua Tuo would write down a medical book, and he would be able to obtain the medical book five years later.
No matter how divine a doctor is, if he personally practices medicine, even if he sits in the clinic and treats every day, he can only treat tens of thousands of people. But if he leaves medical books and allows dozens or even hundreds or thousands of people to learn from them, the number of people he can heal will only be 10,000.
That's hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
Zhou Ping remembered that history books said that Hua Tuo was evil in nature and could not be proud of himself. He had always been ashamed of taking up medicine as a profession. It would be useless to tell him about benevolence and righteousness in saving the people.
One hundred kilograms of gold is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Even a small landowner like Zhou Ping does not have so much gold at home. But five years later, Liu Bei will definitely have it, and Liu Bei will definitely be willing to spend one hundred kilograms of gold to buy Hua Tuo.
A medical book written by.
As for Hua Tuo, he couldn't refuse this hundred kilograms of gold. If he really had so much gold, he could live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and stop practicing medicine.
To take a step back, even if this Zhou Wen'an is a big liar, it is always a good thing to write his own medical books. Moreover, the pound of gold he left behind is indeed real gold.
Hua Tuo heard the sound of horse hoofbeats outside the courtyard and thought that this man's behavior was quite strange, but the change of Wen'anli from the straight shaft to the curved shaft was indeed made by him, and Hua Tuo knew this.
