Li Er did not deliberately stop or suppress Su Li.
Although Li Er felt that his daughter was being mistreated by marrying a farmer's son in such a sloppy manner, it would still affect Changle City if they divorced.
Putting aside his personal feelings, the more outstanding his son-in-law was, the better.
Thus, when he learned that Su Li was going to hold a free consultation, Li Er immediately agreed.
If this matter was exposed, it would be because the royal doctors treated the poor people for free.
The ministers couldn't find any fault with him, and instead, they would praise him. Why not?
Su Li received Li Er's order and led the officials to the outskirts of Chang 'an.
"Fuma, why don't we do a free consultation in Chang 'an?”An acolyte from the Imperial Academy of Medicine was confused.
Su Li smiled and said," Those who can live in Chang 'an City are mostly families with some excess wealth. They won't go so far as to look down on doctors. Moreover, Chang' an City has all kinds of famous doctors 'shops.
However, there were only some doctors in the villages in the suburbs. The farmers did not have any money left. If they got sick, they could only endure it. If they could not, they could only wait for death.”
Su Li spoke from the bottom of his heart. When he was five years old, he had caught a cold.
It was originally just a small cold, but it had not been treated and became more and more serious.
It also caused Su Li to be in a coma for nearly a month.
This was the first time Su Li felt the fear of death. That despair and helplessness lingered in his mind for a long time.
Without any medical treatment, he could only leave it to fate.
In this life, his mother also cried all day long.
There were no doctors in the ancient village. Even if there were, their medical skills were not enough.
Moreover, these farmers did not have the money to see a doctor.
Compared to Chang 'an City, where a stone could hit a dignitary, it was obvious that the villages in the suburbs needed free medical treatment more.
In the village, Su Li had also seen several people who had passed away due to illness. Some of them were even younger than him.
Some of them were just simple wounds…
Medical treatment methods were too low, so in the countryside, it was very common to jump to the gods and pray to Buddha.
When Su Li was sick, his mother had gone to Huichang Temple to burn incense.
He had burned the few strings of money he had at home…
It was precisely because of this that Su Li had always had a bad impression of those monks.
Moreover, he had heard that the fields in the neighboring village belonged to Huichang Temple, and the people in that village were all tenant farmers of Huichang Temple.
How was this a monk…
He was no different from a butcher with a knife.
The group walked and chatted, and a village appeared in front of Su Li and the others.
"Let's do it here!"
Su Li said with a nod.
After walking for almost four hours, the acolytes who were carrying medicine boxes were all exhausted. If they continued walking, they would not be able to treat their illnesses.
Therefore, the volunteer clinic was set up at the village entrance.
A large number of villagers gathered around curiously. After all, such a mighty team was also a lively event for a village that had not been visited by outsiders for a long time.
"What are you guys doing?"
The villagers seemed a little reserved and only watched from afar. Only a child asked out of curiosity.
"Free consultation!"
An acolyte replied.
"What's a free consultation?"
the child asked again.
"I just don't want your money. I'll get you medicine for free. If there are sick people in the village, you can bring them over. If they are seriously ill, you can bring us over.”
Su Li replied with a smile. He patted the child's head and gave him a piece of candy.
Hearing Su Li's words, the surrounding crowd began to discuss enthusiastically.
"You don't need money to treat your illness? Are you a liar?"
"I don't think so…"
"Isn't the third son of the Zhang family seriously ill and unable to get out of bed? Should he call his family's adults over to take a look?”
"Sure, sure!"
While they were discussing, someone had already arrived. Before Su Li could make a move, he was snatched away by a royal physician and handed over to his disciple.
After all, in the palace, there was little actual combat experience.
The apprentice had obviously been learning for a long time. Although the process was a little stiff and a little scripted, he was diagnosed with a cold.
Another acolyte next to him followed the prescription and grabbed the medicine.
A group of royal doctors were watching to prevent any mistakes.
Just like that, the first patient was treated in less than 15 minutes.
After that, a few more people came in succession. They were all suffering from minor illnesses and did not delay much time. After that, no one came.
After a long time, a group of people came over with a wooden board.
On the wooden board lay a young man. His body was covered in pus, some of which had already festered. Before he could even come over, a foul smell was already coming from him.
The young man's face was already red and hot, and the pus was still flowing out.
" Sir, my baby suddenly had a high fever half a month ago. These sores started to grow on his body. It was fine at first, but now he's unconscious. It's useless to find a doctor in the city. His mother went to burn incense and Buddha didn't care…"
The middle-aged man's expression was one of terror…but Su Li looked at the youth lying on the wooden plank as if he had not heard anything.
An acolyte at the side was about to take his pulse when he was suddenly pushed aside by Su Li.
"Don't move!"
Su Li carefully looked at the youth's body, seemingly confirming a bad guess of his.
The few imperial physicians at the side stared at each other, but there were two white-haired imperial physicians. After hearing Su Li's words and carefully observing, their expressions also began to become heavy.
"Tianhua! It's small-flower!"
A white-haired imperial physician said.
The remaining group of imperial physicians instantly turned serious.
Smallflower!
It was an infectious disease in ancient China. The infected were festered and covered with pus, accompanied by signs of high fever.
The fatality rate was as high as 50%!
In ancient times, it was basically an incurable infectious disease.
Hua Tuo had some medical experience in his mind, but none of these treatments were successful.
And in Su Li's memories, it seemed that even in the modern era, small-flower was an incurable disease.
Su Li took a deep breath and pulled out the golden needle at his waist.
According to Hua Tuo's memory, the most he could do was to help the young man get rid of his high fever and then help him relieve it. If he could not find a cure, he could only wait for death.
There were many illnesses that doctors could not cure. Even if they could not cure them, Su Li would only feel sad.
What he was most worried about was that in ancient times, no one knew how to prevent smalllessness.
Smallpox was an infectious disease. How many people were infected with it now?
How far had smallflower developed?
