Chapter 37: Butcher or Doctor?
At first, Yunchu thought that he was not born by Selaima, but Selaima found various reasons to say that Yunchu crawled out of her intestines.
There was no shortage of evidence. After a long time, many people in Sela thought that Yunchu was born by Selaima, but he just had a little mutation during the birth process.
So, Yunchu just pinched his nose and accepted it. After all, eating other people's food is under their care. This is the minimum moral requirement of being a human being.
Now, the old sheepskin also told Yunchu that Chen Xuanzang and the king of Dongnu Kingdom are his parents.
Yunchu still thinks that he is not, but the old monkey uses a meticulous and rigorous chain of evidence to prove that he, Yunchu, is someone else's son.
The chain of evidence is clear at a glance, making Yunchu speechless.
When he was born, he was a baby. A newborn baby has no right to say who his parents are.
Just like a group of ducks just hatched from the eggshell, if the first thing they see is a dog, they will follow the dog.
This made Yun Chu, who had a very deep memory of his parents, feel that his parents had raised him in vain. If they knew that they had raised a person who was often passively treated as someone else's son, God knows how they felt.
The weather was very hot, and Naha still liked to wrap herself in the old monkey's black sheepskin cloak and squat on the table to play stone catching with the old monkey...
After the battle yesterday, the Tang army won a great victory and seized the big flag of the Chuyue tribe, which was an extremely shameful thing for the Chuyue tribe.
This time, the Turks launched a fierce attack just after dawn.
The battle took place not only on the top of the city, but also under the city wall. The arrows from the top of the city were like locusts, and people's lives disappeared in an instant.
Under the city wall, from time to time, there were Tang cavalry and Sai cavalry who took turns to attack the Turks who wanted to pile up soil under the city wall.
The wall of Qiuci was not high at all, barely four meters high. If the Turks were allowed to pile up soil, they would be able to pile up a slope under the wall in less than two hours.
But this four-meter-high wall that suddenly appeared on the plain made the Turkic cavalry helpless against the city in a short period of time.
The defenders had no rolling logs and stones, no lime, no molten iron, no gold juice, only bows and arrows, swords and axes, spears and stones.
The equipment of the attackers was still simple. There were no catapults, no siege vehicles, no slowly moving arrow towers, and even no battering rams to hit the city gates. There were only simple ladders and bows and arrows.
However, the war was still extremely brutal.
The furious Turkic warriors abandoned their horses and dug small pits on the wall with scimitars. Every time they dug a pit, they stepped on it with one foot, and then dug the next one, until they were shot to death by the defenders with arrows or stabbed to death by spears.
Next, continue digging pits...
Within a range of three to five meters, everyone is a sharpshooter.
Some bodies fell under the city, some fell on the city walls, and gradually, surrounding this earthen city with a circumference of only five miles, the bodies piled up like a mountain.
As long as they were not forced by Ding Dayou to fight outside the city, He Yuanshan and Liu Xiong were still very useful.
He Yuanshan's hammer was thrown on the assault battlefield. Now he is using a spear. The Tang army's spears are very long. The three-meter-long pole allows him to avoid the direct shooting of arrows outside the city. He can squat and aim specifically at the Turks who show their heads on the city wall. His technique is very steady, and he hits them accurately.
It's just that the locust stones thrown by the Turks in leather bags are very annoying. This thing can't kill people, but the accuracy is amazing. It hits the armor and makes a clanging sound. The most injured people treated by Yun Chu that day are those who were hit in the face by locust stones.
A good thing like a javelin is basically useless when defending a city. Once you throw it over and kill a Turk, they will immediately have an extra spear. The javelin head is covered with a pine pole more than ten meters long, and it is difficult for people on the top of the city to prevent it.
The battle in Qiuci City was in full swing, but Ding Dayou, the bastard, disappeared again.
Yun Chu used the excuse of reporting the wounded condition and did not see him at his home. He was received by one of the Guoyi school lieutenants. After listening to Yun Chu's report, he signaled Yun Chu to leave and told him not to come over if he had nothing to do in the future. Of course, if he made new beef buns, he could call him over.
In order to retaliate, Yun Chu pretended that he did not see his red and swollen wound. Since he did not like him, there was no need for him to help.
In fact, he could not help much. Whether the wound would become inflamed or maggots would grow depends on the individual's fate.
Yun Chu took the opportunity to go to the station of Liu Chong, the chief physician.
Before he even entered the door, he smelled a foul odor, and many injured people fell casually on the ground covered with feces and urine.
To be honest, this place looks more like a slaughterhouse and a blacksmith shop than a clinic.
Doctor Liu, covered in blood and holding a woodworking saw, looks more like a butcher than a doctor.
He was sawing off someone's leg and heard that Yun Chu was here, so he deliberately stopped the operation to see him.
"I heard that fewer people died there than here?"
Yun Chu was terrified when he saw the minced meat stuck on the saw teeth, and hurriedly said, "All the injuries there are minor."
Doctor Liu laughed and said, "I guess so too."
After saying that, he took out a red-hot iron from the blacksmith's furnace and casually hit the back of a wounded person.
"Ah——" The injured person was lying on the ground, jumping like a fish. Dr. Liu stepped on the injured person's spine and cursed angrily: "The arrow sores are bloody pus. If you don't burn them, you will die."
Yun Chu smelled the smell of burnt meat, looked at the injured people scattered all over the yard, listened to the screams of the injured, and just thought about how to escape as quickly as possible.
"You are a doctor from the eighth grade, and you are qualified to open a shop for injured patients. You can be considered a help to me. If you need any medicine, just ask me. As long as I have it here, you can take it."
Yun Chu said dullly: "Aren't you amputating someone's leg?"
Liu Chong, Doctor Liu was slapping his forehead, turned around and was about to leave. After taking two steps, he shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. That man is dead. He was clearly told that amputating his legs would kill him, but he just wanted to live. He is a real loser." A man is dead when he dies, dragging his disabled body back to drag his family down? "
Yunchu felt that the words "manly man" were not appropriate to use here, and wanted to correct him. He saw a wounded man who had one of his legs amputated, his hands hanging on both sides of a door panel, limply covered by two beards. People were carried out.
Yun Chu looked carefully, and there were still two lines of tears hanging from the corners of the man's eyes, which showed how unwilling he was before he died.
"I want pulsatilla, coptis, wormwood, bupleurum, honeysuckle, andrographis, isatis root, skullcap, purslane, thistle and thistle.
If you have borneol, musk, blood root, and Panax notoginseng, give me some. I can exchange them for frankincense and myrrh. "
Doctor Liu looked at Yun Chu in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that a little kid like you would really know some medical skills, and the medicines you picked were all available at the time.
What’s even more rare is that you actually know Panax notoginseng. Who is your medical master? "
Yun Chu said quickly: "My master's surname is Liu and his given name is Huacheng. He is a Qi Refiner, and his name is Hengshan Qi Refiner."
Dr. Liu nodded and said: "Oh, Taoist disciple, in that case, you can ask the medicine boy to pick up medicine for you. Borneol, if you don't have much blood, I can give you some. There is a lot of panax notoginseng in stock, but you It needs to be replaced with frankincense and myrrh, which are used by women.”
Yun Chu thanked him and followed an eight-foot-tall boy to get the medicine.
After entering the pharmacy, Yunchu realized why Dr. Liu was so generous. He really had no shortage of medicinal materials, and the whole room was full of them.
The tall boy also said to Yun Chu: "Here are the medicines sent by Longyou. Among the medicines they sent, the best ones are Bupleurum and Angelica. There are also medicines sent by Guanzhong, including Pulsatilla and Coptis from Qinling Mountains. , Yinchen is the best, and the rest of the medicinal materials are very average.
I wonder when my husband takes medicine, does he prefer to prescribe single prescription or compound prescription? "
Does Yun Chu know the difference between single prescription and compound prescription? He said directly: "Just find me all the medicinal materials I want."
Unexpectedly, Yun Chu's unreasonable attitude gained more respect from the medicine boy. In his opinion, all doctors in the world were the same and would not easily teach outsiders their skills in making a living.
Not long after, Yun Chu carried a sack full of medicinal materials and left the place where Dr. Liu was killing people.
The medicines he chose were all anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicines. Although he didn't know how to use dry medicines, he still chose the simplest one, which was to grind all the dry medicines into powder and cook them into concoctions separately. Soak the linen strips in the medicine, dry them in the sun and then wrap them around the wounds. Let the injured drink the remaining medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes that the emperor and his ministers make decisions. Yun Chu didn't want it because his chemistry teacher told him that the most important reason why medicine can cure diseases is the chemical elements in the medicine, and the rest is not important.
Although only one or two injured people die every day in Yunchu, those who are injured habitually go to Liu Yizheng for treatment, especially those who are seriously injured and rescued. They have to crawl to Liu Yizheng for death surgery. .
Yun Chu didn't know how Sun Shenxian cured diseases. He only heard that he had the ability to revive the dead with flesh and white bones. He didn't see the old man's magical methods with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to comment casually.
But it was doctors like Liu Yizheng who made him have great doubts about Datang's health and medical conditions.
This was also the reason why he dared to give medicine to the injured indiscriminately. In his opinion, instead of letting the injured go to Liu Yizheng to die, it was better to ask for a miracle of survival here.
This itself is an extremely abnormal war. One side wants to turn the Kucha area into a no man's land through burning, killing and looting.
One party is thinking about how to keep the other party here so that they can kill them all at once.
Looking around, the world is full of perverts, and my little personality distortion really doesn't mean anything.
