Chapter 53 Prime Minister, your third brother is here!

"Mr. Hua, Mr. Hua, are you there?"

The farmer stood outside the thatched hut, stretched his neck and looked inside, but the gap in the door was too small to see what was going on inside. Seeing that there was no response, he was a little confused for a moment and muttered, "Is Mr. Hua sleeping?"

"Squeak-"

The door opened.

Zhang Fei came out.

He was huge, with a leopard head and round eyes. He was intimidating without even getting angry and gave a very oppressive feeling. Just having him standing in front of him was like a mountain pressing down on him. The farmer was so frightened that he shivered and his legs were shaking.

Fortunately, he had met Zhang Fei when Hua Tuo was treating patients, so he resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and gritted his teeth and prepared to speak.

Unexpectedly.
Zhang Fei touched his head and smiled innocently, "Sir, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. Mr. Xu can vouch for me. Are you here to see Divine Doctor Hua? I'm really sorry, Divine Doctor Hua is busy right now. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I'll pass it on to Divine Doctor Hua."

"I see, I see, sir, that's right."

The farmer came to his senses, raised his arm and handed Zhang Fei a bamboo basket.

"What is this--?" Zhang Fei looked at the bamboo basket. It looked OK and there were no signs of having been used.

The farmer took a deep breath and said, "This is the bamboo basket my wife made. Mr. Hua and I agreed to use this as the 'consultation fee' and 'medicine fee'."

As he spoke, the farmer's cheeks became hot with shame. He lowered his head in shame. He felt it was ridiculous to use the bamboo basket as a life-saving favor.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei spared no effort to praise: "This bamboo basket is really exquisitely made. I have never seen such a bamboo basket before. Look at the texture and the craftsmanship. If it is placed in Luoyang, it will definitely sell for a good price."

The taciturn farmer asked, "Really?"

"."

Zhang Fei complained in his heart, I have never been to Luoyang, how would I know.

But he looked at the farmer's anxious eyes and said, "That's what I think anyway!"

The farmer stopped trembling. He could tell that Zhang Fei was speaking words of comfort. However, he still showed joy and bowed deeply to Zhang Fei. "Thank you, Commandant Zhang!"

After watching the farmer leave, Zhang Fei touched his head and muttered, "Doesn't this know me?"

He always felt that this time's thanks were a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Zhang Fei walked into the house quietly and put down the bamboo basket carefully. He looked at the room full of pottery jars, mats and straw sandals.
He always felt that after Dr. Hua stopped being a doctor, he would change his career to become a traveling businessman.

"Okay, okay, I see, that's how it is!"

Hua Tuo's exclamation came from the inner room.

Zhang Fei immediately rushed in and asked, "Dr. Hua, what are you doing?"

Hua Tuo stroked his beard and smiled, "This medical book is really not simple. The person who can write this book is definitely a rare wise man in hundreds of years. He proposed to use the six meridians, namely Taiyang, Shaoyang, Yangming, Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin, to analyze the evolution and prognosis of patients' conditions, and use the eight principles to determine..."

When Hua Tuo talked about his area of ​​expertise, he began to talk nonstop.

It is said that every different field is like every other mountain. Even though Zhang Fei memorized all the contents in the book, he still couldn't understand it.

The more excited Hua Tuo spoke, the more drowsy Zhang Fei became.

When Hua Tuo finished his lecture and took a break to drink water, Zhang Fei hurriedly stopped him and said, "Divine Doctor Hua, does that mean the person who wrote this book is really great? Is he more great than you?"

Hua Tuo admired him and said: "If it were me now, I would not be as good as him, but after a few years, when I have perfected my medical theory, I may not be inferior to him."

"Good!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands vigorously.

Hua Tuo raised his hand, signaling Zhang Fei to stop first, and asked: "Zhang Junwei?"

Zhang Fei waved his hand, "What are you talking about, Doctor Hua? What's the meaning of Zhang Junwei? Just call me Yide."

"Okay." Hua Tuo nodded, "Yide, don't always call me Divine Doctor Hua Divine Doctor Hua. I feel that my medical skills have not reached this level yet."

"Then I'll call you Mr. Hua." Zhang Fei asked tentatively.

"Okay." Hua Tuo picked up a volume of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases". "Yide, you still haven't told me who the author of the book is?"

Zhang Fei slapped his head fiercely and laughed awkwardly, "Look at my memory. The author of this book seems to be a man named Zhang Zhongjing. I heard he is from Nanyang. He should have just started his official career not long ago, right?"

"This, this is so amazing? How can you write such an amazing book while pursuing a career in politics?"

Hua Tuo was not calm anymore. It was too shocking. He had just entered the official career and he had written such a medical book. Was he the reincarnation of Bian Que???

wrong.

Hua Tuo discovered the blind spot. "I remember Zhang Zhongjing from Nanyang! In Nanyang, I met a county official named Zhang Ji, whose courtesy name was Zhongjing. He was different from other county officials in that he was obsessed with medicine. I talked to him and found that he was knowledgeable and a serious person. He had read a lot of medical books since he was a child. No wonder I saw traces of medical classics such as "Suwen" and "Tangye Jingfa" in "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

"Some of the ideas in the book coincide with those of Zhongjing, but the ideas in the book are more mature, but," Hua Tuo frowned, "but it is impossible for Zhongjing to write it. The large number of prescriptions and cases in the book are not something he could have collected. The time spent on it is unimaginable for ordinary doctors, unless..."

Zhang Fei asked, "Unless what?" Hua Tuo looked up and stared at Zhang Fei, "Unless, this book is not written by the current Zhongjing, but by Zhongjing ten, twenty, or even thirty years later! Yide, where did you get this book from???"

You have to know that Hua Tuo was nine years older than Zhang Zhongjing. If we talk about the current medical skills, he was confident that he was better than Zhang Zhongjing. After all, he had been practicing medicine for much longer than Zhang Zhongjing. If we talk about medical talent, he was not inferior to anyone.

In fact, Hua Tuo had never seen "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" in his life.

Before Zhang Zhongjing wrote Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, Hua Tuo's head had been cut off by Cao Mengde and grass had grown on his grave for two years.

Zhang Fei thought for a moment and said, "This is what the immortal has entrusted me with!"

"The immortal has entrusted me with this. Great!" Hua Tuo was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "The sooner this medical book is published, the more lives can be saved!"

Zhang Fei asked again: "I wonder if Mr. Hua is satisfied with my brother's gift?"

Hua Tuo nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied! This is a treasure that belongs to everyone in the world. In my heart, nothing can compare to it. However."

Zhang Fei could hear the disappointment in Hua Tuo's words, and he asked curiously, "But?"

"After a quick look, I found that the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases has omissions and is incomplete." Hua Tuo sighed, "What a pity."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Hua, what's the difficulty? My elder brother wants to recruit you as an official, to serve as the county magistrate, and to take charge of the medical affairs of the prefecture, recruit talents, train doctors, and if there is an opportunity, he will also set up medical officers! Eliminate all disasters for the Han Dynasty, even the capital of Guizhou can afford to see a doctor! By then, you and Zhang Zhongjing and other famous doctors will gather together, I don't believe that Mr. Zhang will not be able to fill in the missing chapters!"

"What did you say???"

Hua Tuo stood up suddenly, staring at Zhang Fei intently, and ignored him even when the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

He tightly grasped Zhang Fei's hand, and his strength was so great that Zhang Fei was amazed. No way, how come everyone who practiced the Five Animals Exercises has such great strength!!!
Zhang Fei felt a little scared when Hua Tuo stared at him. His eyes were too eager, so eager that he couldn't stand it. He couldn't understand the complicated emotions in his eyes.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to look away and asked, "Mr. Hua, what do you mean?"

"What are you waiting for! Hurry! Let's go to Liangzhou and Jincheng County!!!"

Hua Tuo grabbed Zhang Fei's arm and was about to rush out the door. He didn't look like a forty-year-old man, but more like a warrior in his twenties.

What surprised Zhang Fei was that Mr. Hua, who was obviously a doctor, actually dragged himself.

"Stop, stop, stop -"

Zhang Fei, fearing that he might hurt Hua Tuo, hurriedly said, "Mr. Hua, please wait a moment."

"? Is there anything more important than saving the sky, or more important than my being an official?"

Having said this, Hua Tuo still stopped and turned to look at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said somewhat embarrassedly: "I want you to save someone."

"Save people? Who?" Hua Tuo rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong muscles.

"Xuzhou, Langya, Zhuge Jun tribute."

"Okay, Yide, when shall we set out? But outside, don't call me a doctor. I am just a scholar who knows a little bit of medical skills." Hua Tuo asked again, "Then shall we set out immediately?"

Zhang Fei chuckled: "No hurry, no hurry, I still need to buy some things."

"Purchasing something?" Hua Tuo asked curiously, "What is it? Can you tell me?"

Zhang Fei said frankly: "Childhood sweethearts!"

"Childhood sweetheart?"

Hua Tuo was confused. Shouldn't bamboo horses be children's toys? What did Zhang Yide mean?
Zhang Fei explained: "I once heard that a childhood without a childhood sweetheart is not a good childhood, but my Prime Minister doesn't have one. If other families have them, my brother must have them too!"

"I see."

Hua Tuo pinched his beard and sighed in his heart that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Zhang Yide is a man who values ​​brotherhood.

Zhang Fei rode a tall horse. He asked the guards to help Hua Tuo onto the carriage. Hua Tuo waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I can do it myself."

After saying that, he jumped into the carriage.

Zhang Fei clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Hua, you are so skilled!"

Zhang Fei and his entourage rushed to Xuzhou, Langya and Yangdu.

He ordered the guards to wait at the entrance of the village, and he and Hua Tuo walked to the door of Zhuge Gui's house with gifts.

"Is this Mr. Zhuge Jungong's house? Is anyone there?"

Zhang Fei knocked on the outermost door.

No one responded.

Zhang Fei was so excited that he shouted to the courtyard, "Is Zhuge Liang here? Your third brother is here to see you!!!"

　Sorry for something going on at home today.
