Chapter 2: The Plague
Zhang Xiang returned home and happened to be seen by Widow Li, now Zhang Xiang should call his mother, Widow Li likes Zhang Xiang very much, this white child, Widow Li is of course very distressed when she sees the scars on Zhang Xiang's face.
Widow Li: "Child, what's wrong with your face?" Come and mom will give you a medicinal wine. ”
When Zhang Hao heard the news, he also saw the injury on Zhang Xiang's face, and without saying a word, he gave Zhang Fei and Zhang Feng a slap on the face, the sound was really loud, and it spread far and far away, and even Zhang Xiang had to admire the thickness of the two people's cheeks.
Zhang Xiang also immediately explained: "My father and mother are fine, I accidentally fell and was scratched by a stone, and there is nothing to do with the two brothers." ”
Zhang Hao: "That's not good, these two bastards are your brothers, so they should protect you, how can they come back together and only you are injured?" It's their fault, you two should reflect on it. ”
After this incident, Zhang Fei and Zhang Feng paid more attention to Zhang Xiang, but it is conceivable that Zhang Xiang collapsed in his heart at this time, and he was followed by two black boys, and he was not a little girl, of course, he was very depressed.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Feng can be said to be the child kings of Zhuojun, causing trouble everywhere, it can be said that they are famous, Zhang Fei is called a tiger by the people of Zhuojun, and Zhang Feng is called a lion, which makes some shops uneasy, and in the end Zhang Xiang came forward to solve it, so Zhang Xiang is naturally liked by the people of Zhuojun.
This like even developed to the point that Zhang Xiang went to any tavern in Zhuo County to eat without spending money, and Zhang Xiang was also very sensible, Zhang Xiang was five years old when he was caught up with the drought in Youzhou, and there was no harvest in the field, and finally Zhang Xiang persuaded his father Zhang Hao to help the people of the county, and this matter did not know how to spread out, and the people of Zhuo County liked Zhang Xiang twice, and they simply treated him as their own child.
The year when Zhang Xiang was five years old can be said to have spent time among various families, because Zhang Xiang did not go to anyone's house to live in someone's house and had meat to eat on the same day, so Zhang Xiang rarely lived at home during the year, which was also to change the direction of relief for the villagers.
After a year, it finally rained in Youzhou, which greatly alleviated the disaster Zhang Xiang could return to live at home, and Zhang Xiang had nothing to do after the disaster was alleviated, but he was idle and troublesome, which was like before.
But now it seems impossible to mess around, because Zhang Hao hired four bodyguards for Zhang Xiang's safety, they were all people with strong bodies and full of flesh, and now Zhang Xiang is hiding when he goes out.
In fact, Zhang Hao is also thinking about Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang is so popular, every time he goes out, he is robbed by a group of people, and even fights for Zhang Xiang, and there is a group of seven aunts and eight aunts, as soon as he sees Zhang Xiang, he pinched his face, once Zhang Hao saw Zhang Xiang come back, his face was swollen, and of course his children were distressed, so he thought of the idea of asking for a bodyguard.
But Zhang Xiang didn't like this very much, he felt like a ruffian, Zhang Xiang enjoyed the feeling of being close to the county people, so today Zhang Xiang sneaked out of his home.
It was early in the morning, and the sky was still bright, but the hard-working Zhuojun people had already begun to work, and Zhang Xiang smelled the smell of various snacks as soon as he went out, and the oil cakes and small pickles were all things that Zhang Xiang loved to eat.
Zhang Xiang smelled the smell and passed, when Zhang Xiang arrived, there was no place, the breakfast seller was a small shop, it was opened by a pair of old people, Zhang Xiang still knew them, because Zhang Xiang still lived in their house last year.
When the old man saw Zhang Xiang come in, he was very welcome and specially got a place for him, although he was setting up a table with others, but Zhang Xiang was also very content, of course, the people at the same table were also happy to share the table with Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiang had a full breakfast, in fact, the breakfast in Zhuo County is very sufficient, because in Zhuo County, most people eat two meals, and only a wealthy family like the Zhang family will eat three meals, of course, the amount of breakfast is very sufficient.
Zhang Xiang's amount of food is actually known to everyone in Zhuo County, so the food sent by the old man is just the right amount for adults, Zhang Xiang perfectly inherited the amount of food of the Zhang family, it can also be said that Zhang Xiang has inherited everything except for the talent of martial arts, which makes Zhang Xiang the saddest, because the Zhang family really has nothing to do except martial arts.
Lost the harvest of Sangyu in the east, Zhang Xiang lost the martial arts talent of the Zhang family, but he also perfectly inherited his mother's appearance, and it may not be a other harvest, at least very handsome, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact, appearance is also a standard for officials, and the court is so popular that of course they are vying to imitate.
This can be said to be the reason for Zhang Xiang's popularity, Zhang Fei has said more than once why he is not like his mother, and he was whipped several times by his father Zhang Hao because of this.
As soon as Zhang Xiang finished breakfast, he was knocked down by a group of people as soon as he came out, this look is a group of outsiders, no one dares to look like this to Zhang Xiang in Zhuo County, and no one can be willing to do it.
Zhang Xiang was blown up, because it was early in the morning, and every family was in a hurry to go to farming, so there were a lot of people on the street.
One of the people in the group was a follower, "Do you guys know? Who is this person next to me, he is Liu Bei. I'm about to go and learn from Master Lu Zhilu, so you dare to touch him and try it. ”
Zhang Xiang didn't expect to meet Liu Bei so coincidentally, in fact, Zhang Xiang still deliberately didn't see Liu Bei all these years, in fact, the two families are very close, Liu Bei's home is in Lousang Village, not far from the city, the more I don't want to see, the more I can see, I really can't hide, as for why Zhang Xiang wants to hide from Liu Bei? After all, I don't want to mess with him in the future, if I put Zhang Fei in, won't I lose a lot?
The people of Zhuo County were still a little scared when they heard the name of Lu Zhi's student, Liu Bei didn't want to make a big deal and wanted to make amends, but it should also be Liu Bei's bad luck, Zhang Fei was also eating nearby, and when he heard that Zhang Xiang was bumped into, his temper came up, and he hurriedly rushed to the direction of Zhang Xiang, and he still thought in his heart, little brother, you must be fine! If my father knew that you had been knocked down and that I was still around, my brother's ass would be gone.
Liu Bei here is still very polite, "Little brother, I'm really embarrassed." Liu Bei was about to say the following, but Zhang Fei happened to arrive, and a big fist interrupted Liu Bei's words.
What followed was a violent beating, Zhang Fei beat Liu Bei This scene Zhang Xiang is also the first time to see it, it is quite fresh, it is more interesting than watching a play, Zhang Xiang saw that Liu Bei couldn't stand it, so he asked Zhang Fei to stop.
Liu Bei also left Zhuo County with the support of a group of friends and returned to Lousang Village, Zhang Xiang sighed, it seems that Liu Bei, you are destined to have no chance with Zhang Fei in this life, big-eared thief, don't blame me.
The celebrity effect, that is, celebrities are big things in small things, Zhang Xiang is equivalent to a celebrity in Zhuo County, and the fact that he was knocked down by his father Zhang Hao was really known, and Zhang Fei naturally didn't avoid the beating.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei's rough skin and thick flesh stopped, if this is on Zhang Xiang, he has to be scrapped, he can be similar to how hard Zhang Hao beats, he is worthy of being a butcher, and he is very accurate, and he hits Zhang Fei where he has the most meat.
Zhang Hao suddenly had less and less strength, Zhang Fei and Zhang Xiang both felt that something was wrong, one was used to being beaten, and naturally knew Zhang Hao's strength, and the other was that he saw Zhang Hao's face pale, never white.
Zhang Hao fainted suddenly, the doctor came to see that it was a severe cold, this severe cold in the Han Dynasty had another name called plague, it turned out that in this winter in Youzhou froze to death a lot of livestock, people and horses, this to the spring of the natural plague was infected.
Since Zhang Hao fainted, there have been people fainting in Zhuo County, it can be said that everyone is in danger in one day, the pillars of the Zhang family suddenly fell, and the servants of the Zhang family also panicked for a while.
The current Zhang family is headed by Widow Li, but a woman can go through something, she is at a loss, how can she manage others, fortunately, the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty is still very strict, and the family slaves go out without the consent of the master, and they will be executed, so this family has not been dispersed.
The housekeeper of the Zhang family is the old man of the Zhang family, and in the past few days, he has invited many doctors to treat Zhang Hao's illness but is helpless, and there are precedents for other people in the house to get sick, Zhang Hao ordered them to move out of Zhang's house and go to a house in the county to settle down.
Zhang Xiang knew that Zhang Hao had already reported his mortality, but Zhang Xiang was reluctant to look rude, Zhang Xiang still remembered that this man changed his diaper when he was a child, and he was in a hurry.
There is no way, Zhang Hao's body is getting worse and worse, Zhang Xiang can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Zhang Xiang still remembers seeing a home remedy for the treatment of plague in modern times, and he doesn't know whether the symptoms are right or wrong, but at this point, he can only fight.
This prescription is Daqinglong Soup, which is a prescription for typhoid fever, and Zhang Xiang also remembered it because of its peculiar name, 12 grams of ephedra (to the knot), 4 grams of cinnamon branches (peeled), 5 grams of licorice (burned), 6 grams of almonds (peeled, pointed), 9 grams of ginger (cut), 10 jujubes (broken), 20 grams of gypsum (broken).
Zhang Xiang can only count on this prescription, but after all, the measuring instruments of the Eastern Han Dynasty are different from modern times, so Zhang Xiang is also very cautious about entering medicine, everything is blindfolded, it can be said that he is going down the river by feeling the stones.
Zhang Hao is very confident in Zhang Xiang, as long as Zhang Xiang boiled the medicine, he drank it immediately, and finally miraculously recovered, and finally asked the doctor to check it to know that it seemed that Zhang Xiang's medication was wrong, which hurt Zhang Hao's vitality.
But that's it, Zhang Xiang is also a treasure in their eyes! Zhang Xiang also told them the formula of the medicine, of course, there was no measurement, and they had to explore the rest by themselves, with Zhang Hao's body hurting his vitality, ordinary people would not be able to survive, Zhang Xiang didn't want to kill others.
It is precisely because of Zhang Xiang's prescription that the epidemic in Zhuo County has been alleviated, and because of Zhang Xiang's disorder, the people in the county have been cured, so the people in Zhuo County call Zhang Xiang Yao'er.
