Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 144

Qin Shou put his hands on the old man's veins, closed his eyes slightly, and looked carefully. After a while, Qin Shou opened his eyes, stared at the old man for a while, and asked, "Is the old man suffering from abdominal pain recently? It is also accompanied by abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, etc. ?”

The old man opened his mouth wide in surprise and nodded from time to time. Qin Shou said that he really had such a situation. Thinking that he had asked Qin Shou for a job before, saying that he had strength, he couldn't help but blush.

This is a symptom of gastric ulcer. Thinking of this, Qin Shou frowned and thought about the treatment plan for gastric ulcer. After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and began to write the prescription. After writing, Qinshou took the prescription and looked at it for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it to the old man.

Said: "Old man, you can go and grab the medicine. There are ten doses of this medicine in total, three times a day, take it after meals."

"Hey, thank you little doctor. Dare to ask the little doctor Gao's surname? So that the old man will remember the great kindness of the little doctor." The old man asked with red eyes, and the hand holding the prescription trembled from time to time.

Qin Shou smiled and said politely: "My surname is Qin, I don't dare to be a great kinder, old man, hurry up and grab the medicine."

"Hey, thank you, thank you!" The old man responded, saluted Qin Shou, walked out slowly, and walked into the city.

Soon a person sat down in front of Qin Shou, this time it was a woman in her early thirties, holding a child in her arms, the child's face was distorted, as if enduring the pain, the woman When the man sat down, he smiled embarrassedly at Qin Shou, then straightened the child in his arms, grabbed the child's right hand and put it on the table.

Qin Shou nodded slightly at her, and began to diagnose and treat the child. He soon found out that the child was not seriously ill. He was too hungry before. It may be that he ate the buns he asked the shopkeeper to send, and overeat all of a sudden, which caused his body to feel uncomfortable. feel.

Qin Shou took out the silver needle and pricked the child's thumb. After a while, the child let out two loud and smelly farts, twisted his body and whispered to the woman, "I want to shit."

Maybe it was because the word was not elegant, the woman's face was slightly red, and she looked at Qin Shou helplessly.

"Hold him, and when he poops and his stomach is empty, he will feel better." Qin Shou said with a smile.

"Hey, thank you little doctor." The woman's face brightened, and she ran to the woods not far away with the child in her arms.Qin Shou looked at the direction in which the woman ran, and frowned. These people live outside the city, and the environment is not good. Now they don't pay attention to hygiene, so they are more likely to get sick.

It seems that the problems of these people should be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the plague will break down. The medical facilities here are limited, and once a large-scale plague breaks out, it will be miserable. Qin Shou continued to see the free clinic with his heart in mind.

As time passed, Qin Shou found that young and middle-aged laborers appeared in front of him. Looking at the young man sitting in front of him, Qin Shou asked, "Is it easy to find work recently?"

When the young man heard Qin Shou's question, his complexion darkened, he shook his head, withdrew his hand and asked, "Does this consultation cost money?"

Hehe, Qin Shou smiled and said, "I don't need money, I just chatted with you, and raised my hand to pass it over."

The young man looked embarrassed, handed his right hand awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "It's hard to find a job. Some jobs only pay for a meal, and don't even pay for it."

Oh, Qin Shou nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then how do you live?"

The young man bowed his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Nowadays when some of us are looking for a job, we go to work, and if we can't find a job, we go to the mountains to hunt together. Worried about what to do when winter comes.”

Qin Shou thought so too, now that it's June, the weather is not cold, and fruits and the like can be found on the mountains to satisfy their hunger, but in winter they really have no way out.

Qin Shou tentatively asked: "If someone can provide a place to eat and live, they will also be paid on a monthly basis, but there is a premise that they will sign a contract of sale, will you be willing?"

The young man stared into Qin Shou's eyes seriously, and said, "If you can buy it together with my family, I am willing to sell myself as a servant."

After speaking, the young man lowered his head, smiled wryly and muttered to himself: "My parents are fine, they are not very old, but my grandparents are old, who would buy them who are useless, and raise a couple of idlers for nothing. "

Hearing this, Qin Shou felt sore, and asked curiously, "Since this is the case, why do you still insist on selling them together? You must know that you can get wages after selling yourself, so you can support them as well?"

The young man shook his head, sighed deeply, and said, "How can one man support four elderly people? They have to sell themselves with me to get a ration in the hands of the master. At least they won't starve to death. Look at these refugees. And those are just a few.”

"There are still countless refugees fleeing from the north. There will only be more and more refugees here, and life will become more and more difficult."

"If I can find an owner who is willing to buy it, at least I don't have to worry about starving to death in the future. As long as the family is still alive, even if the owner makes me work hard, I am willing!"

The young man's eyes were moist, and he lowered his head deeply. Qin Shou saw a few white hairs on his lowered head. you."

"Really?" The young man raised his head instantly, and looked at Qin Shou expectantly. This was the first time Qin Shou saw someone so excited about prostitution.

Qin Shou nodded, and said, "If you trust me, help me inquire among these refugees. If there are refugees who sell themselves, I will gather here tomorrow. I will try my best to buy them. Of course, there are young and middle-aged people in the family first."

The reason why Qin Shou added the sentence that the young and middle-aged are given priority is because he was worried that all the people who would appear tomorrow would be old and young. In this situation, Qin Shou would not be able to support so many people no matter how capable he was.

When the young man heard Qin Shou's words, he stared at Qin Shou in surprise, his eyes were like bull's eyes, and his voice trembled slightly, he asked, "Are you sure?"

Qin Shou withdrew his hand, nodded earnestly, took out a few silver needles, sterilized them on an alcohol fire, then asked the young man to walk to the open space next to him, laid his left leg flat, and performed acupuncture for the young man. The young man was in good health, but His leg was injured while fleeing, and it was not treated properly at that time, leaving a hidden danger. Qin Shou wanted to help him eradicate the hidden danger.

Watching Qin Shou give the needle, the young man admired Qin Shou even more. Qin Shou saw his hidden disease without asking him. People are here waiting for you."

Qin Shou raised his head and smiled, and said, "You don't have to come too early, I will come here in the afternoon."

Niu Ben hummed, and stopped talking. Qin Shou tied the silver needle, sat back at the table, and continued to treat the next refugee. Looking at the queue behind, Qin Shou felt that his whim was a bit overblown. The queue is so long that it's impossible to see the end, and it's definitely impossible to see the end today.

Just when Qin Shou was worrying about the long queue, Lin Langzhong came over with another doctor and several apprentices in the shop, smiled at Qin Shou, set up tables and chairs beside him, and joined the free clinic ranks.
