Chapter 20: Army Hospital
Renjitang is in Mingshifang, not far away, Xi Dacai obviously ran away is not the first trip, the group is familiar with the way to Renjitang, but found that Renjitang is also crowded at the moment, congested outside the door, and I don't know what the situation is inside.
At this time, Xi Hou, who was covered in dirt and sweat, rushed over. Looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly became anxious: "What are you neighbors still doing here?" My sons are all sick! ”
"His child is sick too?"
"My child is sick too!"
"Doctor, let my child see it first!"
"Dr. Qian...... Dr. Qian ......"
……
In front of the door, there were loud voices, and everyone was talking, and they all wanted Dr. Qian to give priority to diagnosis and treatment.
It's so noisy, even if there are many barriers inside, it can't stop the sound. In such an environment, it is natural that there is no way to see a doctor. The white-haired Doctor Qian walked out and bowed his hand to everyone: "Everyone, it's really not an old man. It's really that there are too many people who have been seriously ill recently, and they are old...... It is difficult to defeat the needs of 100 people single-handedly......"
……
The noise in front of the door was calmed down for a while.
At this time, a person on the street lost a look and went out. Three or five servants parted the crowd, and two strong men rushed over, one of them on the side, and immediately carried Dr. Qian up: "Doctor Qian, you can be wronged." Our lord is a person who understands, and he will never miss your consultation fee......"
Everyone was stunned, looking at this scene, they all despaired.
"That's the butler of Wu Shixin, a wealthy merchant in Huizhou, and I once saw him buying sauce and vinegar in Lee Kum Kee's shop...... I didn't expect the child of the rich family to fall ill too......" In the crowd, a slightly more decently dressed man sighed heavily.
When Xi Dacai heard this, his eyes were suddenly dizzy.
The old woman beside him wailed even more: "The only seedling left by the third baby, is it going to be explained here like this?" Heavens, how unjust, a war has lost my three sons, and now I want to take my grandsons......"
Xi Jinwen looked at such a scene, and he was helpless, and sighed heavily.
"Big Rich Brother! It doesn't matter if Renjitang can't be cured! Xi Bin suddenly said: "Go to the army hospital!" It was a newly opened hospital in the Holy Heavens, and it also treated the people. I have a sergeant I know who is also guilty of this disease, so it's good to go! ”
In desperation, Xi Dacai gritted his teeth, and inexplicably remembered the confidence of the new emperor when he was in the armor factory, "Go!" ”
……
From the Paozi River to the west, through Chongwenmenli Street to the north, around the west, along the East Chang'an Avenue all the way to Andingmen Street, Xi Dacai and his party finally arrived at the Taiji Factory.
Chengzu Zhu Di built the Forbidden City after the capital of Beijing, so he built a lot of raw material processing factories inside and outside the city of Beijing, and the place where the base of the palace was processed was called "Taiji Factory", and later the Forbidden City was completed, the factory was gone, but the place name has been used until now. Similar place names in Beijing include "Liulichang", "Shenmu Factory" and "Damuchang", all of which were factories when the Forbidden City was built.
Now, of course, the factory is gone. However, the new emperor Zhu Cihong specially approved a piece of land, and allocated a place called the Army Hospital in this inner city.
The army hospital originally accepted the real estate of the inner court, which was called public use, but in fact it was occupied by a few eunuchs themselves as private residences. So the decoration was majestic and gorgeous, and a few mighty armor soldiers stood at the door, so that the front of the army hospital was cold and the crowd was sparse. From time to time, a few people who dared to walk in were also dressed in military uniforms.
The group walked to the army hospital, and when they saw the stone lion standing at the door, and two heroic and upright sergeants standing, they immediately did not dare to enter.
Xi Bin took a deep breath, unwilling to see the child lose his life, strode over, took out the broken silver from his arms and handed it to the two armor soldiers in front of the door, with a smile on his face, and said: "The two military masters, the villain Xi Bin, have always heard of the rejuvenation of the army hospital recently...... Today, my younger generation is suffering from a serious illness, please show me how to heal it? ”
The two guards glanced at each other, with inexplicable looks in their eyes, looking at the two women, an old man and a young woman, looking at the child and crying, and said slowly: "If you want to see a doctor, just go in and pay the money and ask the sign, and look for a doctor to see a doctor." ”
After speaking, the two doormen turned into sculptures again, standing upright, without looking, or touching the silver in Xi Bin's hand.
Xi Bin mistakenly thought that there was too little money in his hand, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get an accurate word, and suddenly looked at the old father behind him with a red face.
Xi Jinwen squeezed out a little smile, took out about one or two or three pieces of broken silver, and handed it over.
At this time, a soldier from inside the door walked out, looked at the scene in front of the door, and said with a smile: "That fellow policeman, if you want to see a doctor, you can go in directly." The Holy Decree was given that the army hospital should also heal the people. If it's an emergency, the military doctor may be more effective. There is no such old practice as silver money, and my holy command will never have it. ”
With that, the man strode away and left the army hospital.
"A few old men, Fang Cai's robe Ze said very much. As a subordinate of the Holy Lord, how could I, the Royal Guards, do such a thing of a predatory citizen. If you want to see a doctor, you really just have to go inside. So saying, the doorman pushed back the bag and continued to stand like a pine, without looking at the silver.
"What are you still stunned about, the child matters!" The old woman twisted Xi Dacai, and when several people heard it, they panicked and went to the army hospital.
Entering the hospital, Xi Dacai, Xi Jinwen and Xi Bin and their entourage suddenly entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, looking at this and that, with a look of surprise on their faces.
The decoration here was originally splendid, and the use of luxury was excellent, and all of them were luxurious. Carved beams and painted buildings, rockeries and stones, pavilions and bending water, the end is pleasing to the eye.
However, such a place is open to the common people. There is a road sign for ten steps along the way, and the door of the house at the intersection is explained by the house number.
is such a heavenly fairyland-like place, and the people who come and go are really ordinary people in brown clothes.
What's even more surprising is that there are not only male doctors here, but also female doctors, all of whom are wearing white coats and masks, and they can't see what their faces are, but they look at a few people who are obviously not dignitaries, and they are also eager.
"A few old men and grandmothers came in, but they want to see a doctor? Just register in the lobby, get one copper coin and ten papers, and you can find a doctor for consultation. However, it is necessary to ask what the disease is wrong, but you must ask the right doctor. It was Su Feng'er who spoke, the head nurse of the army hospital, who patiently introduced various departments: "At present, our hospital is divided into internal medicine, trauma, gynecology, pediatrics, ......."
"Yes, yes, it's pediatrics! Our child is only seven years old! The old woman was pulling Xi Dacai at the moment, and asked her to hurry over to register.
The old woman looked at Su Feng'er and couldn't stop thanking her again and again, which made Su Feng'er a little embarrassed.
Xi Dacai hurriedly thanked him and took out ten copper coins, but this time he didn't dare to give the silver. Because it was a woman who sat and collected the money. Not only that, but many of the doctors and apprentices in white coats who came and went in this hospital were women.
"A woman sees a doctor, can this heal the dog?" Thinking like this, Xi Dacai hurriedly took the number.
The pediatric department of the army hospital is understaffed.
As an auxiliary department that followed the Royal Guards Corps into the Imperial City, the Army Hospital was actually very poorly known. Xi Dacai looked at the people who came and went, but in fact, many of them were military dependents.
Therefore, although the army hospital has set up a pediatric department, there are few patients, and as soon as they enter, there are doctors sitting on the clinic.
It's just that what made Xi Dacai and Xi Jinwen, who went there, frightened and cold...... The person in front of him turned out to be a female doctor. On the doctor's desk was a sign with her name written on it: Kong Luoling. It's just that when Xi Jinwen saw it, he turned his face away, and he didn't dare to see Kong Luoling's face, and he couldn't help but read slowly in his heart: "Don't look at indecent things...... Don't look ...... indecent manners"
Kong Luoling was not surprised by this situation, and now he saw the patient, and took a notebook for them to fill out.
Xi Jinwen took this errand over, just let him dodge, and it didn't take long for Xi Hongzhi to write three big characters of dragons flying and phoenix dances. After that, the place of origin, age, resistance, and appearance were filled in one by one.
Xi Hongzhi is the name of the dog, a seven-year-old child, it was when the dog was annoying, he was sick at the moment, and he was also making noise in the arms of the old and young women, kicking and stepping, with a pair of small faces pale, pursed his lips and frowned, and kept shouting: "It hurts...... Hurt...... Mother, grandma, I hurt ......"
Everyone was worried, but there was nothing to be done.
The female doctor took it, put the child on the bed, lay down, and said softly, "Child, wake up." Let my sister look at you, where is it uncomfortable? What have you eaten and done recently? ”
Xi Dacai's wife felt a chill in her heart, thinking that this doctor was seeing a doctor, how could it be like climbing a family.
But the female doctor has a fair complexion, a good temperament, a soft voice, and lying on the soft bed is much more comfortable than swaying in her arms, which suddenly makes the bear child quietly have a little more trust, and the bear child covers his stomach, but he doesn't make trouble: "Stomach hurts...... And also...... Headache, dizziness, lack of energy, and...... Pull...... Pulled ......"
"It's been five times!" The old woman took the words, and said with a broken face: "Our child is originally alive and well-spirited. But today's ...... This...... I heard that they were all about to catch up with the plague...... How is this so good, the third baby left such a lone seedling, but I didn't bring the child well...... After a few years, I kicked my legs, but how can I see the three babies......"
Kong Luoling was silent, just pressed on the child's stomach, and asked from time to time: "Is it hurting here?" Over here......? Over here......? ”
After asking a few more questions, Kong Luoling stopped talking, just took the quill pen and dipped it in ink and wrote it on the booklet where Xi Hongzhi's name was written: "Who said it was a plague?" ”
"Who'......?" The old woman looked at Xi Jinwen.
Xi Jinwen coughed lightly and said, "The plague has always been urgent, and Xicheng and Liulichang have always been in a hurry. These days, the police station has also received a detailed report, saying that there are signs in Dongcheng as well. I'm worried, my child's ......."
"Just the usual diarrhea and it didn't get in the way. It's like pulling five times a day and still has the ability to make trouble, and after dehydration, he is still so energetic, where it looks like a plague, but like a monkey. Parents, don't worry. I mixed salt and sugar water with my fangzi, and then took the medicine according to the prescription, and it will be fine in a few days. It's this collective ...... sick" Kong Luoling looked at the child's mother and said, "Recently, you went to Mingshifang Primary School?" If I'm not mistaken, Mingshifang Primary School is open for lunch for children these days. It's done with good intentions, it's all some fresh seafood from the sea......"
Saying that, Kong Luoling's tone was a little resentful: "Although Tianjin Wei is not far from Jingshi, it will only take a day to rush all the way. But the weather has been hot recently, coupled with the poor health situation in Beijing...... It's not hard to explain that I have a bad stomach. What a pedantic ......."
The crowd focused on the young woman.
The young woman immediately lowered her head and said, "Indeed, as the doctor said......"
Everyone suddenly relaxed.
Xi Dacai gasped: "Thank God, the ancestor appeared......"
Xi Bin was unhappy: "Brother Dacai, this is not the time to thank God. Healed, it's the credit of the army doctors! ”
Xi Dacai laughed a few times, and Kong Luoling also laughed softly when he listened.
Just when the atmosphere was cheerful, suddenly, a hurried whistle sounded.
When Kong Luoling heard this, his expression suddenly tightened, looked at a few people, and said apologetically: "Summoned in the army, I lost my company." In a moment, a doctor on duty will come in. ”
Xi Jinwen and the others looked at each other. Xi Dacai took the prescription and said, "Let's hurry up and get the medicine...... I don't know how to do it, whether it's allowed or not......"
Xi Bin wanted to speak for the female doctor, but heard another rush of footsteps at this moment.
A man in an ink-colored stand-up collar uniform strode over, and when he saw Xi Jinwen, he was immediately overjoyed: "Brother Jinwen, you are really here!" Come with me, the police station will gather urgently! ”
"Urgent gathering?" When Xi Jinwen heard this, his face also changed.
Sure enough, at this moment, an apricot-yellow firework rose in the sky. Xi Jinwen said a few words of apology one after another, and also rushed out.
Xi Bin chased after a few steps, wanting to ask himself about joining the army, but suddenly stopped halfway through.
In the army hospital, almost all the medical staff were assembled in place, and the army hospital doctor Zheng Hu Bo turned sideways, allowing everyone to see a man dressed in a dragon-patterned yellow robe, too young to be believed, and a unique temperament that people would not question.
This person walked out like a starry moon, stood in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Hello to all the robes of the army hospital. I haven't been here for a long time, and I miss it so much. I just don't know, brothers and sisters, do you still remember the battle fought in Linqing back then! ”
"Remember!" Su Feng'er said loudly: "The Holy Lord led us to cure the plague and win the battle against the Tartars, and this is how the name of our army hospital was earned!" ”
"Yes!" Zhu Cihong said: "Then today, I will lead you to start another battle!" This battle is not a Tartar, but it is the eternal enemy of all mankind for thousands of years: disease! We declare war on it, and declare to the people of the Ming Dynasty that there are countless people with lofty ideals here who are with them and protect their well-being! (To be continued.) )
