Three Kingdoms

It is a small courtyard with a mixed structure of civil wood. Due to the age, the wood used to build the house is so old that it has become somewhat cracked, exposing the brown wood inside. The tiles on the roof are also somewhat incomplete and have not been repaired. They are just covered with some thatch.

Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng sat on a stone bench in the small courtyard, silent.

There were bursts of coughing sounds in the house, a heart-wrenching cough that was uncomfortable.

Every year when the weather starts to get cold, Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng's children start to cough. The coughing lasts for almost four to five months. The colder the weather, the worse the cough. Then it gets better in the summer, and then gets worse again in late autumn, and the cycle repeats. It's been years.

Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng were fine at first. He could go up to the mountains to hunt some prey, sometimes hunt some good furs, and save some money. However, since his son started to get this cough disease a few years ago, there were not many at home. All my savings were spent on these coughs.

I saw a lot of doctors and took a lot of medicine, but it just didn't feel better.

Every time the doctor comes to see him, he always says something that Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng can hear but don't understand at all, such as "deficiency of Wei Yang, loss of ascending and descending," "yin does not restrain Yang, loss of Xuansu" and so on. The medicinal ingredients in the prescriptions are also strange and weird. Sometimes they can be found by chance, and sometimes there is no other way at all, so they have to make do by decocting the medicine without the medicinal ingredients and letting them take it.

Therefore, the condition also waxes and wanes and cannot be eradicated.

As the old saying goes, men are afraid of coughing and women are afraid of diarrhea. Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng's son has been coughing for so many years, and his health is getting worse and worse. Logically speaking, he is already a teenager and a half, but because of this disease, he is so thin that he only looks like an average person who is ten years old...

The coughing in the room became violent, and it seemed that he finally coughed up some phlegm, then wheezed and slowly calmed down.

The door curtain of the house was gently lifted, and a woman walked out of the house. Her face was also a little sallow. She was holding a wooden tray. She turned around and looked at Huang Zhong. A silent tear fell down her cheek and fell to the ground.

Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and remained silent. The veins on his forehead twitched twice. He turned around and entered the house. He quickly came out again. He held a bow and arrow wrapped in cloth in his hand and whispered: "...I'll go up the mountain to see again." Look..." Huang Zhong was going to go up the mountain to see if he could hunt some living animals.

The woman opened and closed her mouth a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just said: "...be careful..."

In fact, both of them knew that the weather had not warmed up yet, and most of the animals were still hiding and would not easily come out to move around. What's more, Huang Zhong had basically collected all the mountains in this area before, and he didn't hunt anything. nice one.

Just go out and take a look, there is still some slim hope.

Huang Zhong nodded, walked to the door of the small courtyard, opened the door, and saw two riders walking over in a hurry from a distance. The person in front saw Huang Zhong on horseback and waved repeatedly.

Huang Zhong took a look and saw that it was Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family, and his son-in-law Fei Qian.

Before Huang Chengyan arrived, the voice came through first: "Haha, is Han Sheng going hunting again?"

Fei Qian, who was following behind, thought to himself that it was a good thing he came a step early. It looked like Huang Hansheng was going out. If he had been later, he would not have been able to catch up.

Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng greeted Huang Chengyan into the courtyard first.

Fei Qian first tied up the horse, took out some fried beans from the backpack on one side, fed some to both horses respectively, patted the two big heads, and then took off the horse from the horse. Taking a bag and a wine gourd, I entered the yard.

Huang Chengyan had obviously been here before, but it had been a while. Looking back now, he found that there seemed to be fewer objects in the yard, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Seeing Fei Qian coming in with the bag, Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "When I came here this time, I happened to bump into a rabbit on the road. I happened to know that Han Sheng had a good way of preparing wild animals, so I used it to trouble Han Sheng."

Fei Qian also handed over the bag and said, "Thank you very much!"

Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng were silent for a while, then crossed their arms and saluted Huang Chengyan, and said, "That's all right. You two sit down for a while, and I'll go pack it up and come back." After saying that, he took the bag from Fei Qian's hand and turned around and entered the house. .

Fei Qian looked around briefly and found that Huang Zhong's home was so dilapidated. He couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. If he hadn't told him, who would have known that this was the place where a strong martial artist lived!

Look at the wall that has had some gaps due to the rain, and look at the roof of the house whose tiles are damaged and can only be replaced with some thatch. The word embarrassment is written all over it.

Why did Huang Zhong never become an official?

In addition to the reason for Huang Zhong's son, Huang Zhong's personal character may also have a certain influence. Fei Qian told Huang Chengyan not to bring anything else with him before he came, but he only brought a rabbit, which he had guessed a little bit.

Not long after, Huang Zhong came out with a pottery pot of rabbit meat. The three of them sat around on the stone table and benches at the edge of the small courtyard, took some bowls and chopsticks, poured some wine, and started eating. .

After moving his chopsticks a little, Huang Chengyan put them down and said with a smile: "Han Sheng, I have something to ask of you..." Huang Chengyan talked about Fei Qian's mission, and then said, "...although this journey is There are some soldiers and armor to protect us, but it is not very peaceful after all, so I asked Han Sheng to come here, hoping that I can help take care of him along the way."

Fei Qian stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "I have known before that Han Sheng was highly skilled in martial arts. If he can be blessed by his care, it will be Qian's blessing!"

Huang Zhong quickly stretched out his hand to help Fei Qian up, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's not that Zhong doesn't appreciate it, it's just that it's hard to get away from trivial matters in this family..." Huang Zhong sighed and shook his head silently.

Huang Chengyan was about to say something when suddenly Huang Zhong's son in the room started coughing again, and he sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

How to persuade? It's not easy to persuade Huang Zhong to leave his sick son and go to another place alone. If his son's condition is relieved when he comes back, it's easy to say. If something happens to him, where will Huang Zhong be left?

Fei Qian quietly listened to the coughing sound of the people in the room, and suddenly asked: "I wonder if you have a fever?"

Although the question was unclear, Huang Zhong still understood what Fei Qian meant. His eyes lit up and he said, "I have fever from time to time, but not in recent days."

Although Fei Qian is not a doctor and has not learned any medical skills, thanks to the blessing of a large amount of information from later generations, especially the virus incident that inexplicably swept the world and shocked everyone when he coughed, he somewhat understood the cause of the cough. There are many, the most feared is pneumonia.

Pneumonia is contagious and can develop into tuberculosis in the later stages. Because there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, it was almost a fatal disease in ancient times. However, pneumonia is often accompanied by high fever. So since Huang Zhong said that he did not have constant fever, it may not be pneumonia, but may be chronic bronchitis or asthma.

But there was no such thing as tracheitis in ancient times, and there was no way for Fei Qian to prescribe his own prescription, but Fei Qian felt that this was an opportunity to persuade Huang Zhong...
