Chapter 6, Unexpected Joy

Pang Xiao glanced over it, and it listed several medicinal materials including Angelica, Xue Tong, Asarum, Fly Larva, Leech, Lingxian, Qin Jiao, Cinnamon Twig, Safflower, Salvia, and Achyranthes, along with their dosages, in great detail

Leave the strap of the first aid kit out, secure the entire package tightly, and then carry the box out of the temple.

Zhou Heng looked at the box, momentarily at a loss for words to express his feelings at that moment: astonishment, surprise, and ecstasy

Zhou Heng's eyes twitched slightly; had he been in the original world, he would surely have rushed forward to speak out for justice. Although doctors have a dismal income, most people still hold a sense of reverence for this profession

Such a wide river surface, no matter how skilled he is in martial arts, he certainly cannot fly over, especially while carrying a person on one arm

Zhou Heng instantly understood the meaning of what Pang Xiao had said last night about being unable to enter the city

Old Master Xue had grown impatient while waiting. Upon seeing him carrying a square object, he furrowed his brows and cast a glance, but did not inquire further

The iron chain wooden bridge is clearly raised at a set time in the evening. Looking at the long line of people waiting on the bridge leading to the city gate, Zhou Heng finally felt a sense of relief and raised his hand to pat his waist

Upon entering the courtyard and passing the shadow wall, one can see a main house; however, the vehicle did not head in that direction but instead followed a path on the right side, leading directly to the backyard. What caught the eye was a variety of trees, the thickest being a ginkgo tree that neither of the two could encircle with their arms, clearly indicating that this garden has a long history

If one were to know that they possess such a thing, it would be nothing short of a monstrosity, and they would undoubtedly be burned to death

Zhou Heng squinted his eyes, recalling that this box had once fallen on his head when it was brought over. Does it need to fall on him again before it can be put away

The gate opened, leading the vehicle directly to the young master's residence, and summoned the butler, Zhu Sanfu

However, seeing that there is no standing water on the ground, nor any traces of hail falling, and that the paper on the shop windows is undamaged, it seems that the hailstorm last night wreaked havoc around Lingshan Village

The yoke consists of two wooden beams, and the carriage allows the young master to lie down, while Pang Xiao also accompanies him inside the carriage. He can only sit with Xue Laoda on one yoke.

A wooden plaque hangs on the door, inscribed with the two robust characters 'Meiyuan'. Unlike the plaques of other residences, this one does not bear the surname of the owner.

The road from Lingshan Village to Qingping County is rugged and bumpy, and after the journey, Zhou Heng's backside has become sore and numb

Upon careful consideration, that object is very small, only about half the size of Pang Xiao's palm. It does not appear to be any kind of token, nor is it adorned with any dazzling tassels. If it were of noble status, surely the token would be made of gold

These memories run deep, and I never expected they would find their application at this moment. A glance at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall revealed characters in standard traditional cursive script, which further steadied my heart

Arriving directly at a courtyard with a donkey cart

If I take it over so openly, will it raise suspicions from Boss Xue and the others

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow; such a residence without a surname is typically associated with affluent families or the villas of officials. It is likely that this young man belongs to a similar background.

Zhou Xiaolang, writes exceptionally well!

He looked towards Pang Xiao, who stood with his hands behind his back, and said: "This is natural, but do you have any writing materials?"

A soldier approached the city gate, tapping the shaft of his sword against the cart's yoke, his face full of impatience as he shouted loudly

Shaking one's head is not an option; having been reborn with great difficulty, and not yet having made a name for oneself, to end up causing one's own demise would be a tremendous loss

Looking up, in the center of the blue brick city wall, a wooden structure of a city tower emerges, with blue bricks, red pillars, and a green roof that is exceptionally grand. At the city gate, a wide river flows beneath a wooden suspension bridge, lowered with iron chains.

Counting them, it was exactly the same quantity used yesterday. Zhou Heng patted his wildly beating heart, "Amitabha, Holy Mother Mary!"

Even if this week the young master does not repay the wheat money, we cannot pursue the matter, as it is a matter of goodwill. Gather the clan members and repair the Zhang family's house

After speaking, he jogged back and called out to the person behind him

Zhou Heng searched the great hall and instantly spotted the piece of wrapping cloth that Old Xue had brought over yesterday, still lying on the haystack. He quickly walked over and shook the wrapping cloth clean.

Turn right at the intersection ahead, walk to the end, and you will find a large vermilion gate to the north of the road, which is the residence

There is a patient in the vehicle who needs to go to the county town to seek treatment from a local doctor, and I wonder if it would be possible to make an arrangement.

This is the Yang Tong Luo Decoction, which not only promotes blood circulation and resolves stasis but also warms and unblocks the meridians. The names and dosages of the herbs are indicated above. After rinsing each dose with clean water, boil it in three bowls of water until reduced to one bowl, then take it together with half a bowl of yellow wine

Still find a way to package it up

Xue Nansheng, do not speak coldly; Zhou Xiaolang's grandfather provided you with free medical treatment in Lingshan Village and also gifted you so many medicinal herbs. Your wife's condition of excessive bleeding was cured by him. How can you not be grateful for his kindness

As the yoke swayed, Zhou Heng shook his head and quickly grasped the yoke, while Old Xue had already driven the donkey towards the city

Pang Xiao pointed to the eastern room, and only then did Zhou Heng see that there was a writing desk there. He quickly walked over, and a servant came to grind the ink. Zhou Heng placed the medicine box on the writing desk, picked up a brush, wrote down a prescription, and after blowing it dry, handed it to Pang Xiao

Upon reaching the city gate, Old Xue pulled on the reins, and the donkey came to a halt in response.

Upon reaching the end of the road, I indeed saw a large vermilion gate

Get in the car, we are leaving

Subsequently, this person led Xue Laoda into the courtyard, and Zhou Heng also got out of the car, stamping his feet to relieve the soreness and numbness in his legs, as he stepped into the courtyard with the vehicle.

How should this box be taken out

Sigh

Butler Zhu Sanfu had arrived long ago. Upon hearing what Zhou Heng said, he quickly took careful notes and instructed someone to make preparations. Pang Xiaosong let out a sigh of relief and gestured for Zhou Heng to speak in the outer room

Several attendants stepped forward and directly carried the young man from the cart into the room. Zhou Heng followed them inside, examined the young man's leg injury, and found no signs of bleeding or heat.

Alright

How did you come to know this

Upon seeing the sign, the officials and soldiers immediately retracted their previous demeanor, displaying a fawning expression as they clasped their fists and offered their greetings

The capital city is also known as Beijing, Shandong Province became the Shandong Provincial Administration, and Jinan became Jinan Prefecture. The Qingping County they arrived at is not far from Jinan Prefecture, situated at the confluence of three states, with convenient transportation.

As for the flashlight, it is estimated that it is not a medical device, so the quantity has not changed; these are all minor matters. However, at this moment, Zhou Heng found himself in a predicament

Isn't this first aid kit like a treasure trove of one's own? Not only does it automatically restore what has been used, but it can even replicate an entire set by itself. In the future, one could rely on this to practice medicine.

The injury is manageable, and the young master may have someone assist in changing clothes and provide some rice porridge. However, it is advised to avoid consuming scallions, ginger, garlic, fishy foods, beef, chives, and spicy items, as these are detrimental to the healing of the wound. Other foods are acceptable, but they should be primarily light and mild in flavor

It is uncertain whether the young master of the Zhou family has truly recovered; previously, he was quite mad. How could he possibly be capable of treating illnesses?

... ...

"There seems to be some discomfort in Lord Xiao's left arm. At this moment, there is no one around. May I take a look?"

If you wish to enter the city, you must disembark and undergo inspection. Why are the people in your vehicle not moving?

"Doctor Zhou, does my son still need to take medication for conditioning?"

Before the words had left his mouth, the wooden door of the carriage creaked open, and a hand reached out, holding a pitch-black metal plaque.

An hour later, the donkey cart had arrived outside the city of Qingping.

A group of people behind stretched their necks to look, and a middle-aged man let out a sigh

Convenient? I provide convenience to you, but who provides convenience to me? Don't say it's the patients; even the dead should stretch their heads out to take a look!

Inside the box, it appeared as if it had just been opened yesterday, with various medications and instruments neatly arranged, while the medical waste that I had thrown in was nowhere to be found

Pang Xiao was taken aback, never expecting Zhou Heng to ask such a question. He quickly turned to the side, his eyes fixed on Zhou Heng like those of a hawk.

The person bowed and acknowledged, then withdrew. Once Zhou Heng noticed that no one was around, his gaze fell on Pang Xiao's left arm, and he asked in a lowered voice.

Zhou Heng nodded slightly, bowed to the head of the Xue family in greeting, and then jumped onto the cart. Xue Laoda raised his whip, and the donkey cart drove away

My eyes are weak, damn it! I will clear the way for you, esteemed one, please wait a moment!

The head of the Xue family cast a cold glance at him, flicking his sleeves and snorting.

A young man, seemingly searching for something, did not hear his shouts. Annoyed, the man raised his hand and struck him with a whip

The man shrank his neck, quickly bowed his head in acknowledgment, but his gaze still glanced at the official road

Even so, his first aid kit was still strapped to his back, and Boss Xue glanced at the kit several times.

Listening to the intermittent introduction by Master Xue on the road, Zhou Heng gained some understanding of this world. The Da Liang Kingdom he arrived in is somewhat reminiscent of the historical Ming Dynasty

After counting the items in the *illustrated* book, the syringe, infusion tube, cefazolin sodium, scalpel, sutures, tweezers, retractor, hemostatic forceps, and gauze were all in excess, while the flashlight remained at one, although its battery was fully charged.

Zhou Heng turned around to take a glance at the carriage, as he had not clearly seen what Pang Xiao had taken out just moments ago

Saying this, he handed the prescription to the young man who was grinding.

Take the prescription and have Butler Zhu fetch the medicine, remembering to go to the best pharmacy in the city

Quickly make way, let the noble person pass first, step aside, I am talking to you

Xue Laoda was taken aback for a moment, and then clasped his fists and said

However, upon arriving here, without an identity or support, one must live with their tail between their legs. Nevertheless, the appearance of that city guard, Zhou Heng, was etched in his memory.

Upon hearing Pang Xiao's voice, the young man at the door quickly turned around and called for someone to open the big gate. He grabbed another young man who was dressed similarly and said a couple of words to him, after which the latter dashed into the courtyard.

In terms of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine, Zhou Heng was relatively resistant during his childhood. After all, both his mother and grandfather were practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. While other children were memorizing Tang poetry and Song lyrics, he began to memorize the "Thousand Gold Prescriptions," practiced calligraphy, and experimented with various styles of writing.

Old Master Xue grasped the reins and had not yet opened his mouth to inquire of Pang Xiao inside the carriage when the corner door swung open. A young lad in a blue robe and cap hurried over, and before he could ask a question, Pang Xiao inside the carriage had already begun to give orders

The stone-paved road is wide, with shops lining both sides, and the air is filled with the sounds of various vendors calling out, creating a scene of bustling prosperity

After traveling for a long time, as they approached an intersection, Pang Xiao in the vehicle instructed:

Old Xue jumped out of the car and pulled the donkey into the street on the east side. After traveling for a short distance, the bustling main road disappeared, replaced instead by many grand mansions, which appeared to belong to affluent families.

Zhou Heng was unaware of his intentions and clutched the box tightly, not daring to let go
