After a chat with Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao calmed down and continued to live their own tense and orderly life.

After July, the rain gradually increased, and the grass in the field was growing wildly. Lao Dao and others often led some children over eight years old to the field to pull weeds. The pulled grass was taken back to feed the pigs and the newly-grown two sheep. The newly-grown raised was mainly to solve the milk feeding problem of those infants and young children.

The trap located near the farmland has harvested more than 20 hares since spring. These things have no obvious natural enemies in this mountain, and their reproduction speed is amazing. However, the mountains are high and dense, and there are a lot of food inside. Generally, they rarely reach the edge of the forest. But every spring, after the snow melts in spring, many hares always run to the farmland at the foot of the mountain to eat wheat and other crops. However, this year, the hares that went to Zhao Zhenzhong and others to reclaim the farmlands and eat crops with crops that were stolen from the farmlands. This year, the hares that went to Zhao Zhenzhong and others to reclaim the farmlands have basically never returned. After being caught, they are cooked into delicious foods of different flavors and filled into the belly of children with laughter.

After the beginning of spring, Zhao Zhenzhong and others rushed to the sea at least twice a month as long as the weather permitted, and obtained as many seafood as possible to supplement their bodies that lack nutrition.

In addition to practicing martial arts, rushing to the sea, and collecting in the mountains, Zhao Zhenzhong takes Zhou Tian, ​​Zhou Hao and Li Laodao to Taiqing Palace every twenty days. In addition to visiting Zhou Luxue, two elders Zhao Shanchu can also watch Taoist classics collected in it. Zhou Tian even asked Zhou Luxue for acupuncture. Zhou Luxue and Li Shiqing have their own strengths in traditional Chinese medicine. Zhou Luxue is good at seeing pulses and acupuncture, Li Shiqing is familiar with medicine properties and is good at making various Chinese medicines. Zhao Zhenzhong uses the excuse of how to do abroad and provides Zhao Shanchu with some management examples from time to time to provide him with ideas for managing the Taiqing Palace industry. Zhou Hao came to listen to stories and asked about secret books. In the end, he heard a lot of stories and didn't see a single secret book.

Zhou Luxue heard about Zhou Hao's search for secrets, so he called him and said to him with a smile: "If Taoism wants to say secrets, there are only Taoist scriptures from all dynasties. The "Tao Te Ching" is the most famous book, and then it is "Daozang". But you can't understand it. I have been in the Taoist sect for more than fifty years and I don't understand many places. What kind of secrets do you want to find?"

"It's the kind that can make great progress in martial arts, fly over the eaves and walls, and pick leaves and flowers." Zhou Hao originally didn't believe in any superman martial arts, but after seeing Zhao Zhenzhong, Li Shiqing, Kuang Zhenjue, Li Tongsheng and others amazing skills, especially after nearly a year of hard practice, his strength and reaction were much stronger than when he turned out to be when he was a child, he couldn't let go of his secret feelings.

"Haha, what you are talking about is martial arts, not Taoism. Your master's innate internal martial arts and innate Tai Chi are something that many people dream of, and are much better than any false secrets. You have to practice well and not be greedy. Besides, even if there are secrets, you have to practice hard to achieve it, let alone not. Taoism emphasizes a normal mind and a natural mind. You will gradually understand when you grow up."

After saying this to the old Taoist, Zhou Hao stopped looking for secret books and carefully practiced the content taught by Zhao Zhenzhong and Li Laodao.

On July 12, Zhao Zhenzhong and four others carried some fruits and melons and fruits planted from the newly picked peaches and fields from the mountains and carried them to Taiqing Palace on a shoulder pole. After seeing the two elders, they exchanged greetings and everyone started chatting. During Zhou Luxue, Zhao Shanchu learned that Zhao Zhenzhong and the other two had basically mastered the writing of commonly used Chinese characters in less than a year and were able to read the classics thoroughly, and they couldn't help but admire them.

Just as the three of them were happy, an anxious voice came from outside the door: "Report to the two elders that someone came to seek medical treatment outside the door."

"Someone seeks medical treatment and asks the palace people to show it. Those who are in poor condition will just give them some medicine." Zhao Shanchu felt a little strange. These things should not be found here to trouble the two elders.

"Two elders, that person may not be able to do it anymore, and his family is still there. I am afraid that something will happen in the palace, so I will report it."

"Go out and have a look. Life is at stake, so don't have any accidents in the palace." Zhou Luxue stood up.

"Okay, let's go over and see what's going on." Zhao Shanchu agreed.

When he came to the door of a side room near the Taiqing Palace Gate, nine people stood in front of the door. A strong boy in his teens was lying on the door panel of the ground. There were some stains on the ground that exuded a strange smell. The two middle-aged Taoist priests next to him looked embarrassed, and the seven on the side should be the family members of the patient, with sadness and begging on their faces. Zhao Zhenzhong recognized one of the middle-aged men with a somewhat dull expression, which was Boss Lin who used to help transport supplies by boat.

The two elders and Old Dao Li stepped forward to look, and they all sighed and shook their heads. After seeing this, Boss Lin lost his spirit and sat on the ground.

"Master, what's the disease?" Zhao Zhenzhong asked.

"Shim epidemic." Old Dao Li looked solemn.

"Uncle, can you tell me what symptoms he had after he got sick?" Zhou Tian asked about the family members of one of the patients. Unexpectedly, the family members saw that she was just a little girl about ten years old, and felt bored, and replied angrily: "I don't know!"

"Tell me what symptoms he has to cure the disease. If you don't talk about the symptoms and don't know the cause, no one can cure it." Zhou Tian was not polite.

"You said my son can be cured?" Boss Lin, who was originally slumped on the ground, got up and asked with hope as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"You tell me what happened to him first."

"I don't know either. I was fine when I left in the morning. When I was almost noon, I found something was wrong with the child, and I vomited and had diarrhea. After a while, the child couldn't hold on. I knew that the Taoist priest of Taiqing Palace was skillful in medical skills, so I quickly asked someone to help him carry him here. But who knew..."

"So have he eaten any bad things?"

"There is nothing bad. I just ate a few cold buns in the morning. I bought them for my children when I returned home from Qingdao City yesterday afternoon. I didn't finish eating last night, so I left them to eat this morning."

"Didn't you eat?"

"You can do whatever you want. The child is young, so you bought it for him." Boss Lin asked in confusion: "It can't be the ones that eat the buns, right?"

Sighing, Zhou Tian said, "It is probably caused by those cold buns." Then he asked, "How long has he been like this?"

"I have had a meal after the sun came out in the morning, but it's less than half a day."

"If I guess correctly, there is still a way to save me."

Boss Lin knelt down to Zhou Tian with a "shot": "Daughter, I beg you! As long as I can save my son, I can do whatever I want!"

Zhou Tian was startled: "Uncle, what are you doing? Get up quickly! If you do this, I won't care."

After hearing this, Boss Lin quickly got up and begged with tears on his face: "Several Taoist priests and this daughter, please save my son."

Zhao Zhenzhong asked Zhou Tian: "What kind of disease is it? Are you sure?"

"It is likely that it is explosive dysentery or cholera. There is no effective medicine now. Whether it can be saved depends on whether his body can withstand it."

Then Zhou Tian turned around and said to the two elders, Old Dao Li: "Two elders, please help me provide some clean water, preferably cold boiled water, and a little salt. If there is garlic, bring a few heads."

"Cool boiled water is not a problem, but garlic is a meaty thing, and there is no in the palace." Zhao Shanchu replied. Then he ordered a Taoist priest next to him to get a few pots of cold boiled water.

"Garlic is vegetarian and meaty, and it is not allowed to be used in the palace." Zhou Luxue asked after adding explanations: "Child, are you sure?"

"Grandpa, I'm trying my best. There is no effective medicine now, but it's already like this. Can it be worse than this? Why not try it?" After Zhou Tian answered, he said to Boss Lin: "Uncle, feed him the cool boiled water with salt first. Even if he vomits, he must feed him, so he can't stop." Zhou Tian turned around and said to the families of several patients next to him: "Can you get a few heads of garlic as soon as possible?" One of the men in his thirties said: "Yes, I'll run home to get it." Then he rushed out of the palace gate and ran away.

After the man panted and mashed the garlic into garlic juice, Zhou Tian added the garlic juice to the cool boiled water mixed with salt and asked Boss Lin to feed the child.

Everyone went from noon to around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The child's body gradually stopped twitching, and the cold boiled water with garlic juice fed was gradually no longer vomited or diarrhea. The eyes could also be opened slowly, and they became a little brighter, but they were still very weak. Seeing the child like this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Boss Lin cried with joy.

Zhou Tian said to everyone: "Don't relax, but you should pay attention to things. Patients and people who have been in close contact with patients, especially Uncle Lin, must be thoroughly cleaned, and their clothes must be steamed and cooked in hot water before use. The places where the patients live and the patients' excrement must be disinfected with lime. In addition, you must not eat cold food casually in summer, but steamed and cooked before eating. You must wash your hands with clean water before eating to prevent the disease from entering the mouth."

"The patient needs to rest now and cannot move around. Now he can only drink salt water with garlic juice. Don't add too much salt. At most one tenth of the salt is enough. If you are hungry, you can only make some porridge for him. If there is no problem in six days, it will be fine, so you can eat normally and move."
