Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1131 The Confusion of the Longevity Heaven

  Taking a bath was really a big event for ordinary people in the Han Dynasty. The so-called "bath every May Day" means that government staff can have a paid bathing leave every five days, and they can go home and take a bath leisurely, so as not to make them smell like muddy legs .

The easiest way to judge whether a person is noble or not is to look at whether he is clean or not, unlike western barbarians who do not take a bath, and then in order to cover up their stench, they come up with all kinds of perfumes, and the result is like this The perfume that was originally intended to cover up body odor, sweaty smell, and foot odor has become a holy water in the world and is sought after by people in later generations.

  It takes a lot of work to take a bath with a wooden barrel and to boil water. The vast majority of farmers are exhausted after a day's work. How can they be in the mood to burn a large bucket of water for bathing? Those who can occupy hot springs for home use are, after all, a minority.

  Especially in the north, if it’s summer, it’s okay. When the temperature drops suddenly, there’s not much storage in the stomach, and there’s not much fat on the body. Going into the winter swimming, I’m afraid it’s not a bath, but courting death.

  So when Zhengxi General Fei Qian ordered everyone to take a bath, and asked Zhao Yun to be responsible for it, Zhao Yun was almost stupid.

  In this era, although the beautiful scenery of nature can be seen everywhere, people are also full of the breath of nature. Not to mention the pediatric ones like mites, lice and fleas are even more common, and some people will even have a swollen abdomen or large nameless pustules on their hands and feet because of parasites of some unknown insects. These people live together in a group, everyone's boss doesn't laugh at the second child, and they are so dirty that they are full of the breath of spring. If you look closely, you can even see some small bugs crawling on the heads and bodies of these big soldiers.

  Is it normal? I don’t care.

It takes a lot of energy to maintain a person's hygiene in the Han Dynasty, and for the big soldiers, they have to fight in the mud, grass, and woodland, and they need to be with big animals, even if Even if people are clean, it is easy to get contaminated again on the livestock, so basically, except for the fixed cleaning time twice a month, most of the time should be ignored.

   But now, it must be taken care of.

The spread of germs, except for those germs in later generations that were metamorphosed enough to be transmitted by breathing air, most of the germs in the Han Dynasty, even vicious infectious diseases such as the plague, were transmitted through flies, lice, fleas, rats, etc. Living things, carry and spread, eventually leading to a large-scale outbreak.

  So after burning the corpses in the trench, do a good job of personal sanitation and clean up, and then everyone pours the medicinal soup prepared by Zhang Yun...

  Zhao Yun was fully armed, his scales gleaming in the sun, standing on the high platform majesticly. But if you look carefully, you can see the corners of Zhao Yun's eyes twitching slightly.

  In this life, I am afraid that this is the first time for Zhao Yun to command such a large number of soldiers, but he did not expect that he was taking a collective bath...

Because all the soldiers with bare buttocks are lined up below, the young soldiers are still shyly covering their crotch with their hands, while the older ones are swaying nonchalantly, and by the way, they even took a few glances at the buttocks of some young soldiers. Eye…

   All the armor robes that have been taken off are gathered together, washed, steamed again, and then dried in the sun, basically exterminating all the lice and fleas attached to the robes.

  The pawns must first drill through a large wooden pool filled with water and sprinkled with a lot of sulfur powder. When it comes to drilling, it is because there is a section in the middle with a roof. The soldiers need to hold their breath and dive into the water to pass, and then line up and jump into the second, smaller pool. The brush is used to poke up, down, left, and right for a while. As for where to brush, it basically depends on the individual's chance...

  Finally, it enters the large iron barrel that is continuously heated, and the whole person cooks for a dozen breaths, and then it can be out of the pot...

   Well, it's over...

   Not only that, Zhao Yun also needs to manage the follow-up cleaning work of these people, mainly defecation. The original shallow pools were completely filled, and new deep pits were dug, and lime was sprinkled in every day for disinfection. But anyone who defecates at will in the barracks is the thirty-mark whip serving the long-term memory.

  At first these soldiers were not used to it, and then those who had been whipped secretly gave Zhao Yun the nickname "Captain Shit Pee", which together with "Captain Bathing" became a new synonym for Zhao Yun...

  Compared to Zhao Yun's misery, Zhang Yun is much better.

   Not only is there a dedicated tent to shade the sun, but there are also several apprentices working and serving on behalf of him. The small days are obviously much more comfortable than Zhao Yunlai.

At this time, Zhang Yun was sitting in the tent, holding a pen, and recorded the events of the past few days, including some things that Zhao Yun had asked Zhao Yun to do by Zhengxi General Fei Qian, and recorded them one by one on the bamboo slips. After reading it two or three times, I felt that I had written it all down and nothing was missing, so I carefully dried up the ink, and then put the bamboo slips in a Gebu bag...

  This is something to be passed down as a family heirloom, how can you not be meticulous and cautious?

   Zhang Yun caressed the bamboo slips gently through the cloth bag with some pride, thinking that even later generations could rely on this method of curing plague and preventing plague, and was respected and treated with courtesy, so he couldn't help laughing.

It’s not wrong for a doctor to have medical ethics, but a doctor is also a human being. Eating, drinking, and laxatives are also annoying when faced with these ailments. Being able to leave some experience and inheritance for your descendants is the most important thing for a doctor in this era. item worked.

  Although Zhang Yun’s own descendants don’t have a horoscope yet, but speaking of Pingyang Lane, there seems to be a pretty handsome person. This time, do you want to find someone to be a matchmaker when you go back this time...

It is said that General Zhengxi is really good here. Before that, I was a little worried that as a doctor, I would either hold him to the sky and fall to death, or be **** to death by no one. Relatively speaking, Zhang Yun is in a relatively relaxed position.

There will be no dignitaries running over at every turn, asking for treatment for various difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and then if something goes wrong, they will have to pay for their lives, and there will be no Taiping Daoists who hold talismans to declare that the doctor is incompetent, or talismans are better. have divine power...

  Thinking back in Yuzhou back then, alas, didn’t my teacher Hua Tuo just get seriously ill from being **** off by this group of Taiping Taoist disciples pretending to be gods and ghosts?

  Well, the master doesn't know where he is now...

   "General Zhengxi is here!"

  Suddenly, a guard outside the tent sang loudly.

  Zhang Yun trembled all over, and suddenly woke up from his personal memories. He quickly put the bamboo slips aside, stood up, and ran out of the tent a few steps to meet Fei Qian.

   Feiqian did not enter the tent, but stood outside, with Zhao Yun standing behind him.

  Fei looked at the pawns taking turns cleaning in the distance, and said, "Zilong, according to the current progress, how long will it take to finish cleaning them all?"

  Zhao Yun stood aside, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it will take at least two days..."

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Good. Take advantage of Xianbei's slowness, hurry up. In addition, do not mix with the pawns after cleaning, otherwise it will be a waste of time... Well, Yiyang, how is the deworming medicine going? ?”

   "To the Lord," Zhang Yun said hastily, "For the external drive, use stone yellow and stone forging to scatter it in the tent, or under the eaves... As for the internal drive, this, um..."

  Zhang Yun hesitated for a moment, then took out something from his bosom, handed it up, and said, "If you want to find the medicine to expel internal medicine, you can find nothing better than this thing..."

  Fei Qian took it and saw that it was a dried fruit, which looked somewhat like an olive.

   Olives also repel insects?

   Isn’t olives used to treat sore throat and enteritis?

  Fei Qian took a closer look, took it to his nose and smelled it, um, it doesn't smell like olives... what does it look like? Oh, this is...

   "This thing... betel nut?" Fei Qian asked with some uncertainty.

"It's exactly Binan." The pronunciation of the word Langnan is similar, so Zhang Yun couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't expect Fei Qian to know this, and said quickly, "This thing is also called Binyu, Renpin, and it is mostly born in southern Xinjiang. Miasma is severe, it can repel abdominal worms, but... alas, it is a pity that this thing is hard to find..."

"In the past, Emperor Wu was planted in Fuli Garden in Chang'an, but unfortunately..." Zhang Yun shook his head and said, "...It is rare after that...This is passed down by a master, and it is only this one...A certain person walked in the east of the river Among the mountains and forests, I have never met half a tree..."

   "Betel nut repelling insects?" Fei Qian didn't notice the difference in pronunciation, but was a little incredulous. But thinking about it, I'm afraid it really has this curative effect. Otherwise, in Taiwan, Guangdong and Guangxi, there would not be so many locals who have the habit of eating betel nuts. After all, in Taiwan, Guangdong and Guangxi, they are all areas with a lot of mosquitoes.

   Welfare Institute, um, wrong, Fuli Garden, it was indeed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who squandered everything.

It is said that at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not know whether it was for the purpose of cultivating animals and plants, or purely for showing off his martial arts, he opened up such a garden in Chang'an to plant different tree species from various places, such as longan, lychee, olive, betel nut and so on. There are no less than a hundred plants of each kind, but it is a pity that these things are the emperor's imperial possessions, and have not been widely spread.

Now that it has been collected, it is necessary for people to study it, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only used it for himself to see and satisfy his personal desires, which seems too boring. If it spread out earlier, according to Hua Tuo's urine , Didn’t you already figure out how to use it as medicine and how to use it?

   "...Junhou, you can use stone yellow stone to forge the soup, and add vermilion grass horn branch, it can also be used to expel insects in the abdomen..." Zhang Yun said with some hesitation. Anyway, when the stone yellow and stone forging were sprinkled in the house, the insects basically walked around, so Zhang Yun naturally thought that mixing the stone yellow and stone forging into the decoction should also have the effect of repelling insects.

   "Ah?" Fei Qian glared, and drank the decoction made by Shi Huangshi. Isn't this courting death?

Stone yellow is realgar, and stone forging is lime. No matter what it is, it is somewhat corrosive, so mosquitoes dare not fall on it. But realgar, when heated, will turn into arsenic. Zhang Yun also said to use other Make soup…

"Forget about stone yellow, after all it is poisonous, what about stone forging?" Fei Qian said after pondering for a while, after all, later generations seem to remember that gypsum was also used as medicine, "you can try it... Well, Zichu, remember to say it later , send two Xianbei laborers over to test the medicine for Yiyang..."

  ………………

  In the Xianbei camp to the north of the Yinshan camp, the great shaman Hu Yehan was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

"how?"

The great shaman stared closely at the Xianbei scouts who were going to spy on the camp, holding the scepter inlaid with colorful stones and feathers in his hand, as if holding the power given by the immortal, holding it so hard, The blue veins on the back of the dry and thin arm were bulging, like purple-black earthworms wriggling non-stop.

   "Reporting to the great shaman, there are indeed fewer people on the camp wall..." said the Xianbei scout.

   Hu Yehan stared at the scout, his eyeballs beating like will-o'-the-wisps, and said slowly, "You have to look carefully, have you ever counted them?"

   The Xianbei scout said: "Yes, respected great shaman, I counted three times, the Han people are on the wall of the village, and there are indeed fewer people..."

  Hu Yehan closed his eyes, leaned back relaxedly, then closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and said, "Go and call the commander..."

   Zaruda is coming soon.

   "...the Han...the curse of Changshengtian...has taken effect..." Hu Yehan said in a low voice.

   Zaruda was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He waved his arms in the air and said excitedly, "Really?"

  Hu Yehan slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at Zaruda, and said, "Changshengtian is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent..."

   "Uh..." Zaruda realized that he might have asked a stupid question, so he changed his words and said, "These... these **** Han robbers should also bear the wrath of Changshengtian!"

   "...Tomorrow, early in the morning, send people up to attack the wall..." Hu Yehan said slowly.

   "So fast?" Zaruda said subconsciously.

   "What? Brave commander, are you afraid?" Hu Yehan asked, "Or are you unwilling to obey the will of Changshengtian?"

  Zaruda laughed twice, then thumped his chest, and said, "How could I be afraid! I'll make arrangements later and attack the stronghold tomorrow!"

  Hu Yehan nodded, expressing satisfaction.

"By the way..." Zaruda scratched his bald head that looked a little bald because of his age and began to lose his hair, and said, "The great shaman... about the longevity you said before that created everything in the world... well, I I have a question, I want to ask..."

   "...Let's talk..." Hu Yehan shook the colorful scepter, and said slowly, "Changshengtian will not reject a believer who has a heart of exploration..."

"This... I remember the year before last in May, when offering sacrifices to Changshengtian, the great shaman also said about the power of Changshengtian..." Zaruda said, "Well... everything in the world is created by Changshengtian, he created it first The water and all kinds of creatures nourished in the water, and created all kinds of birds in the air... Then Changshengtian created all kinds of beasts on the grass... When everything was ready, Changshengtian created us and created the grassland. The greatest nation... Great Shaman, you said that at the time, right?"

   "...um," Hu Yehan Buzhi replied, and then said, "Is there any problem?"

"...But, but..." Zaruda frowned and said, "But you called everyone after the sacrifice yesterday, and you also talked about the power of Changshengtian... you said that Changshengtian used the white clouds in the sky and the black soil on the ground to squeeze out Our appearance, and then filled the nostrils with the aura of Changshengtian, so our ancestors came alive... Then Changshengtian felt that it was not good for our ancestors to be alone in this world, so they created various beasts and birds in the sky , and then brought it to our ancestors, and told our ancestors which ones are good, which ones are bad, which ones can be eaten, and which ones can't...Is this the case?"

   "...Well," Hu Yehan thought about it for a while, and said, "Is there any problem?"

"I just can't figure it out..." Zaruda scratched his somewhat bald head again, and said, "...Did Changshengtian create our ancestors first, or the fish and birds in the water and sky first? Which? One is in the front? Also, since Changshengtian created us and we are Changshengtian's darlings, who created the Han people? Doesn't the omnipotent Changshengtian know about this?"

  Hu Yehan suddenly opened his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "How dare you question Changshengtian?!"

"No, no," Zaruda suddenly put away his original silly smile, stared at Hu Yehan and said, "I'm not questioning Changshengtian, and I dare not question Changshengtian...I just remind you, I Great shaman of yours... Be your great shaman well, Changshengtian didn't ask you to do the rest, did he?"
