At the end of February, heaven and earth are born, all things are prosperous, and the earth appears full of vitality.
"Young Master, stretch out your hand." Abai pulled Gai Jun to the wooden basin filled with hot medicinal soup.
"I'll clean it for my brother," Gai Liao shouted.
Gai Jun shook his head hurriedly, joking, how can a little guy know this? If he doesn't cause trouble, then Amitabha will do it.
Abai smiled and opened the old cloth that bound the bamboo pieces with gentle movements and a cautious expression. Doctors in the Han Dynasty believed that ulcers, that is, fractures and dislocations, should be bound with bamboo pieces and wrapped with soft old cloth to ensure that they are not tight or loose.
It is suitable to loosen it, as it must fix the affected area without impeding the blood supply. This shows that Chinese medicine has conducted in-depth research on fractures.
Gai Jun put his arm into the medicinal soup and soaked it for a quarter of an hour before pulling it out. Ah Bai quickly wiped it clean with a clean cloth.
"That's great?"
I tried to stretch my right arm. Apart from some discomfort, I felt no pain. Gai Jun's obviously round face showed a look of surprise. He has been suffering from overnutrition recently. He was already slightly taller than his peers, and now he has grown to six feet.
When I look up, I look like a fifteen-year-old boy.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break a muscle and a bone, which is no more true even in modern times. He believes that medical treatment in the Han Dynasty was extremely underdeveloped, and it would take at least three or four months to recover, and the root cause of the disease may be left. Medical treatment in mid-to-late February
The doctor told him that his arm would be healed by the end of the month, but he still didn't believe it. He thought that he could cure the fracture in two months. Do you think you are a god? Facts have proved that the doctor is a good doctor even if he is not a god.
"Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master." A Bai congratulated him repeatedly.
"Great, I've been feeling depressed lately. Brother, please take me to play." Gai Liao, who was dressed in exquisite red clothes, cheered and jumped like a ball of flame. Gai Jun especially liked red, among the ten clothes
All nine pieces are of this color. My sister Xiao Gui and Cao Sui naturally also like red clothes.
Gai Jun said "Yeah". Although he could go out in the past two months, he had never left the south courtyard of Wubao. He immediately changed into light clothes and came to the wall, where two bows, one long and one short, were hung.
, simple and exquisite, he took off the long bow and rubbed it carefully. This bow is a walking bow, with a pulling force of one stone, and is nearly five feet long. It is a bit too big for his current height. In fact, it is an improved version of the regular walking bow in the army.
The bow will only be longer and larger, similar to his current height.
"Young Master..." A Bai hesitated before speaking.
Gai Jun and Gai Liao gave Ah Bai a "severe" look at the same time. Gai Jun tightened his grip on Ah Bai and left the room, humming a tune that the girl didn't understand.
Don't look at the two of them showing off their power to A Bai, but they were very afraid of the elders in the family, lest they see them. They walked out of the south courtyard of Wubao tremblingly. Fortunately, they didn't meet any elders along the way. Gai Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked around as he walked.
.
To put it bluntly, Wubao is actually a small town that is self-sufficient and has the ability to protect itself. Each family not only farms, but also makes wine, sugar, sauce, vinegar, and even clothes, shoes, candles, and various farm tools.
Weapons are all available, and those that cannot be used by the family are handed over to the clan leader, who sends people to sell them to the outside world. The biggest benefit is naturally food. He saw several food trucks in just a few hundred meters, but not all of them
It comes from the Gai family, but it was bought and hoarded last year when the grain was low. February and March are when the autumn grain is approaching and the harvest is dry, so it is the right time to sell grain.
Today's wealthy families all combine bureaucrats, landlords, and businessmen. It's really scary to think about this force. Fortunately, he is one of them.
His destination was the archery field located northwest of Wubao. When he arrived, he saw a row of more than a hundred people standing in the field. They were young and middle-aged, all wearing short clothes and straw sandals, and carrying steel knives at their waists, drawing bows and shooting arrows.
These people are all Gai's guests. Guests have appeared in the pre-Qin era. At that time, their status was quite high. In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, the status of guests declined greatly and they became more dependent. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the term "nu guest" came from
It can be seen that guests are no different from slaves. On weekdays, they not only have to farm for their masters, but also perform various chores, such as practicing archery in the second month of the year to prepare for emergencies, and in March, they repair the walls of the house, repair the door, and set up police.
In the eighth month, the armor strings are tied, and the bamboo and wood bows are used to practice archery. In the ninth month, the field is managed, the warehouses are painted, the sinew cellars are repaired, the five soldiers are repaired, and the shooting is practiced.
Prepare for the cold, freezing, and miserable bandits. Build walls in October. Now is the stage of preparing for the spring bandits.
There are about 300 people in the Jiajiajia Military Troupe, only one of them is here, and most of the rest are in horse farms, martial arts venues and other places.
A big man in black attire was patrolling back and forth. He was about 40 years old, of medium height, with a dark face and a short beard. He caught a glimpse of the Gai Jun brother and sister walking slowly towards this side, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face.
.
"Father of the clan." Gai Jun pulled his sister forward to greet him. This man was from the same clan as him, named Hong. He had served in the Western Regions and had experience in fighting on the battlefield. Now he is the leader of the Gai family Qu tribe.
"Jin Nu, has your right arm healed?
"Well, I don't know if I can draw the bow or not."
"My aunt told me..." Gai Hong said with a half-smile, and the aunt he meant was Gai Jun's grandmother.
Gai Jun laughed sarcastically. He came to the archery field right away when his arms were good, but his grandmother's earnest words of advice had long been forgotten by Rinan.
"The clan father is not allowed to bully brother. I was the one who asked to come." Gai Liao was indignant.
Gai Hong patted Gai Liao's head and said, "Little He'er has grown up, and now he feels sorry for his brother." He then said to Gai Jun, "The bow in your hand has a pulling force of only one stone. Even on weekdays, you need all your strength to draw it. Now you
The arm is healed..." Gai Hong didn't say the next words, and needless to say, Gai Jun nodded and handed over the bow.
Gai Hong brought a small bow from somewhere and handed it over. Gai Jun pulled the bowstring but did not pull it apart.
Gaihong asked: "Do you feel any pain?"
Gai Jun shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, I just feel sore and unbearable."
"Your arm is indeed healed, but if you want to return to the past, it may take ten and a half months or more."
Gai Jun was about to reply when he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind. He turned around and saw several teenagers running towards him with bows. These people were his playmates and they came to visit from time to time while he was recuperating.
Strange, but unfortunately he can no longer get along with them as he used to. After all, they are similar in age, but there is a generation gap in their thinking.
"Gai Jun, are you healed? That's great."
"We have been practicing quite hard while you are recovering from your injuries."
"I hope my archery skills will improve greatly in the near future."
"It's time to change the position of leader."
"Chief..." Gai Jun muttered in his heart: "It's so childish, I'm not interested."
Just because Gai Jun doesn't care doesn't mean that Gai Liao doesn't care either. She bared her fangs and shouted, "Bah, you just want to surpass my brother? What a dream!"
"Haha, little He'er is anxious." The young men laughed heartily.
Gai Hong shouted: "Why are you laughing? Let's practice archery."
The young men were obviously extremely afraid of Gai Hong and obeyed him obediently. However, being children, they turned around and winked from time to time.
Gai Jun tried again, and this time he finally drew his small bow, which was stronger than before. The young men laughed again.
Gai Liao pouted her little mouth and wanted to vent her anger. Gai Jun quickly grabbed her, said goodbye to his clan father Gai Hong and his playmates, and turned back home. Gai Liao rarely came out, and he didn't want to go back so soon.
He promised to take her out every day, so he reluctantly agreed.
