Ask Sword

Weizhou City said that it was not small, and it was not big. Soon, the story of a young doctor who went to the slaughterhouse to buy hundreds of pig eyes spread in the chatter of the market.

People in Weizhou never eat pig eyeballs, and I have never heard of anyone paying money to collect them—this in itself is a gimmick, not to mention that the doctor also claimed to use pig eyeballs to treat Chengnan Mu. More than one hundred of the supervisor's army horses were sick.

"If you go back to Langjun, the front door and courtyard door of the security hall are closed, and you can't see what's going on inside. But Li Ang will go out every morning, take his medicine box, and ride a borrowed horse to the pastoral supervisor. Secretary, go home in half an hour."

In the backyard of the Jifutang pharmacy, the clerk Yu Liu was reporting to Yu Miaoshui, "As of yesterday, it has been the fourth day."

"Well"

Yu Miaoshui frowned. He had already regarded the Baoantang as his pocket, and he didn't want to see any accidents at all. "What's in his medicine box? Did you find out?"

"No, every time Li Risheng went to the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry, he would ask people to lock the stables so that no one else could see them."

Yu Liu hesitated for a moment, and replied: "I heard from the shepherd in the supervisory department that the temper of those sick horses has improved a lot, and their eyes seem not to be as red as before."

Hearing this, Yu Miaoshui's slightly dark face became even more gloomy, looking like the bottom of a pot, "Humph."

"Lang Jun, what shall we do?"

Yu Liudao: "Yesterday Li Risheng said that he will be outside the gate of the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry today, and that Yu Chen will start at the right time to heal all the more than one hundred army horses.

At that time, many people in the city will watch it, and even the limelight of the Cuju competition will be overwhelmed.

If he is really allowed to do the job well, the supervisor will give him a reward of 100 guan. "

"If you get rid of the one hundred guan, don't you still have fifty guan? Why panic?"

Yu Miaoshui yelled at the servants, but she felt a little uncertain in her heart.

He is a Fu doctor himself, and he knows how important reputation is to a doctor.

If Li Ang really healed hundreds of military horses at once, would he still worry about Baoan Tang having no customers?

Clang—clang—clang—

The bronze bell resounded throughout the city, and it was time for Chenzheng (8:00 a.m.).

"Prepare the horse, I want to see what tricks that kid has."

Yu Miaoshui patted the armrest of the wooden chair and stood up. At the same time, many idlers in the city of Weizhou also walked towards the direction of the supervisor in the south of the city.

Some were holding birdcages, some were holding snacks, and some even dragged their families along to watch the excitement.

"Master, are you really all right?"

In the security hall, Chai Cuiqiao uneasily helped Li Ang adjust his collar.

"It's fine."

Li Ang patted Chai Cuiqiao's head with a smile, squatted down, and inspected the objects in the wooden box again.

Finely crushed ice cubes covering the bottom of the box;

Ten shochu-flask-sized porcelain airtight containers;

two bottles of pure wine;

and eleven brass syringes.

These eleven syringes were ordered by him and Wang Yamen at the blacksmith's shop that day.

The barrel of the syringe is made of copper, and the hollow needle is made of softer silver with a small amount of copper. When making it, first put a solid tin needle inside, and burn it with a flame to melt the tin with a lower melting point to obtain a hollow needle.

Although compared to modern syringes, they are extremely crude and crude, but they are usable, but they are a little more expensive - the cost of making each needle is the same, and only 11 of the 17 needles are usable.

After preparing, Li Ang raised his hand with a smile, pinched Chai Cuiqiao's worried face lightly, carried the wooden box on his back, and walked towards the wooden door of the backyard.

Squeak.

The wooden door opened, and the servant Wang, who was about to knock on the door, had his palm hanging in mid-air, a little embarrassed.

"Let's go."

Li Ang didn't take it seriously, locked the wooden door, got on his horse, and headed south.

————

"Where are people? It's been a quarter of an hour since Chenzheng, why haven't you come yet? Could it be that they are playing with us?"

"Hey, there are so many military horses, this head, this coat color, it's really spectacular."

"Piro, cherry, pear, apple, piro."

"Aye, I want to eat Bi Luo."

On the street where the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry in the south of the city is located, there are many citizens of Weizhou crowded, bustling with people, like a market.

More than 20 government servants holding water and fire sticks stood in front of the crowd, blocking the citizens,

And behind the yamen servants, there are more than a hundred sick military horses—all the military horses are tied under the courtyard wall of the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry, their eyes are covered with goggles, and their ears are plugged with cotton balls to prevent them from panicking when they hear the noise of people. out of control.

"It's coming, it's finally here."

"That's the doctor? Why are you so young?"

Amidst the noise, Li Ang rode a horse, followed behind Wang Yamen, passed through the crowd, and dismounted in front of the gate of the supervisor.

Xun Mujian had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Li Ang, he asked softly, "Doctor Li, what you want is ready. Today, how sure are you?"

"Xun Mujian, haven't you seen the results of the past few days? I'm doing things, please rest assured."

Li Ang smiled slightly. For the past four days, he has come to the Supervisor of Animal Husbandry every day to clean the conjunctival sac of the sick army horse with the normal saline prepared by himself, which has relieved the symptoms of conjunctivitis and keratitis.

If not, Xun Mujian would not have agreed to allow him to treat illnesses of more than a hundred army horses at a time in the downtown area.

Without talking any more nonsense, Li Ang directly opened the wooden box, took out the pure wine bottle from it, and handed it to Wang Yamen.

"Also ask the servant Wang to pour me some pure wine and wash my hands."

Under the suspicious eyes of the onlookers, Li Ang carefully washed his hands with alcohol, then picked up the syringe, and drew some transparent liquid from the porcelain bottle.

"Bah—"

Li Ang pointed the syringe towards the sky, squeezed the syringe, and pushed out excess air and some liquid medicine.

Seeing the horrific-shaped syringe, there was a slight exclamation from the crowd, but what was even more astonishing was that Li Ang walked slowly towards a military horse holding the syringe.

"Please also support the horse's head, and pull the blindfold a little bit."

Li Ang gently asked the two yamen servants to support the army horse's head, and then took a step forward. Before everyone could react, a needle was inserted into the corner of the army horse's eye socket, and he pushed the syringe slowly and steadily.

"ah!"

"hiss!"

"Hey!"

With such a sharp needle inserted into the edge of the army horse's eye socket, all the onlookers exclaimed in empathy, and some parents even reached out and covered the eyes of the children in their arms.

Li Ang didn't make a sound in the unexpected world, and took out the syringe in time after pushing it and backed away.

"The first one, done."

He breathed a sigh of relief, put the syringe into the pure wine prepared in advance by the pastor supervisor, washed it with pure wine first, and then put it in an iron pot to steam over water and sterilize it with steam.

"Then, the second horse."

Li Ang took out a new syringe, extracted the solution from the porcelain bottle, and walked slowly towards the dazed second army horse.

The porcelain bottle contains the only eye drops in this era.

Extracted from pig eyeball tissue fluid, eye drops.
