Chapter 166 - The Devil

"The printing effect is not bad."

On the streets of Huaiyuanfang, Li Ang flipped through the new issue of Neo-Confucianism and nodded.

There are many kinds of publications in the academy, among which the most popular "Confucian Science" is actually a large series, with sub-journals such as engineering, computing, astronomy, and architecture.

These publications not only accept articles written by academic doctors and students, but also accept contributions from members of the Folk Science Society-as long as they are approved by the publications, the articles can be published and widely read by the people all over the world. earn a fee.

With Li Ang's current status, all the content he wrote was published in the main issue of "Confucianism".

In order to fully print his "Anatomical Diagrams of Poultry and Livestock" series, recent issues of "Neo-Confucianism" have become much thicker and clearer.

"When all the anatomical diagrams of common poultry and livestock are published, we can consider human ones."

Li Ang thought silently, "The most important foundation for the development of medicine is to understand the human body.

Wait until the general public gradually dispels the prejudice that associates human anatomy with magic, and then some real surgery can be performed.”

In the past, due to the difficulties in printing books, frequent wars, doctors who treasured their brooms, and the chaos caused by demons, the development of medicine in the Central Plains has always been in a state of ups and downs.

In the "Emperor's Internal Classic · Lingshu · Gastrointestinal Chapter" in the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the data of various organs of the human body are clearly recorded, such as [the length from the lips to the teeth is nine minutes, and the width of the mouth is two and a half inches. From the back of the teeth to the epiglottis, three and a half inches deep, with a capacity of five joints. The tongue weighs ten taels and is seven inches long. The small intestine is attached to the ridge, and the left circle is piled up in circles. When it is injected into the ileum, it is attached to the navel.]

These data would not have been available without extensive anatomical data.

"The devil's gate of all evil."

Li Ang shook his head, closed the publication, and walked forward.

"Hit her, hit her!"

"Don't let her get away!"

A group of children in civilian clothes happily ran past, holding rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, mud and stones in their hands, chasing and throwing an unkempt young figure.

brush--

A certain child with a snotty nose accidentally smashed it, and the rotten egg in his hand flew towards Li Ang.

Li Ang raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his palm, released his thoughts, and froze the rotten egg in the air, spinning slowly.

tread.

The chasing children stopped in unison, looking at the rotten egg suspended in the air in awe and timidly, and Li Ang standing behind the egg.

"what happened?"

Li Ang asked calmly, the group of Chang'an children, who were only about ten years old at the most, didn't say a word, you look at me, I look at you, and finally ran away in all directions.

"It's clever."

Li Ang couldn't help laughing, as expected of the most benevolent place under the feet of the emperor, these little kids in Chang'an are much smarter than their peers in Weizhou, they know not to mess with monks and young monks with Neo-Confucian publications in their hands.

"Are you okay?"

Li Ang turned his head to look at the unkempt young figure in front of him, his, or her messy hair was still covered with fragments of eggshells and mud,

Below the bangs is an ordinary and thin face.

"."

The unknown little girl shook her head, raised her arm slightly, revealing the small bamboo flower basket hidden under her arm.

The orange-yellow flowers in the flower basket were well protected during the chase just now, but a few of them were hit by rotten eggs, giving off a foul smell.

"How much does it cost, I bought it."

Li Ang smiled and handed the other party three pieces of 50% discount, picked out two pleasing flowers, and at the same time, quietly put a 100-guan flying ticket at the bottom of the flower basket with a concealed technique.

"."

The little girl glanced at the three five-dollar coins in her hand, shook her head, took out one of them, and handed it to Li Ang.

Li Ang shook his head and refused to accept it, and she handed it over again.

Li Ang still shook his head and refused to accept it, so she handed it over again.

After going back and forth like this, she finally made sure that Li Ang would not accept the extra money, so she silently bowed to him, then turned her head and ran away, disappearing at the corner of the street.

Probably the child of that poor family.

Li Ang looked at the back of the other party and shook his head.

Chang'an, with a population of three million, is too powerful to siphon surrounding areas. Every year, there are refugees who are forced to return to poverty due to land annexation, and even live in other places.

Li Ang's ability is limited, seeing one help another, that's all.

"Is it Mr. Li Xiaolang from the Academy?"

The owner of the nearby food stall hesitated to speak, Li Ang turned his head and looked over, feeling that the other person seemed familiar, "You are."

"Going down is Wang Xiaosi,"

The expression of the food stall owner became lively and flexible, "Mr. Li Xiaolang used to drink fermented glutinous rice here when he was temporarily living in Huaidefang to prepare for the exam."

"oh oh."

Li Ang recalled that at this time last year, he and Chai Chai had just arrived in Chang'an and were staying in the hotel in Huaidefang to prepare for the exam. Sometimes when Chai Chai fell asleep, Li Ang would go to a food stall near the West Market if he wanted to have a midnight snack.

"How is shopkeeper Wang's business recently?"

With a feeling of nostalgia, Li Ang proposed to buy a portion of fermented glutinous rice,

Excited, Wang Xiaosi firmly refused to accept the money, and gave Li Ang a bamboo food box, and exchanged greetings with Li Ang under the envious eyes of all the food stall owners around.

"Hey, Mr. Li Xiaolang can drink my fermented glutinous rice. How do you say that, a scholar dies for his confidant?"

Wang Xiaosi frantically picked out elegant words, seeing Li Ang put the orange and yellow flowers on the bamboo food box, he suddenly hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

Li Ang noticed the expression on his face and asked casually.

"No, it's fine. It's just that the little girl who sold Li Xiaolang Junhua just now is unknown."

Wang Xiaosi said hesitantly.

The little girl, surnamed Nie, lived in a thatched hut in Xinghuafang. The family had an elder brother who was born stupid and a father who was lame.

Old man Nie is an honest man who is not good at speaking. He makes a living by selling bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets and some small bamboo toys.

Because his son Nie Dalang is born stupid and laughs all day long, no matter how others beat him or scold him, he will not get angry.

Old man Nie was afraid that he would be bullied at home or get lost by accident, so he would take him with him when he went to set up a stall in Dongshi.

And the youngest daughter of the family also sells freshly picked flowers every day on the streets of Dongshi.

Although the family is poor, they can survive anyway.

Wang Xiaosi said: "During the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, a fourteen or five-year-old girl died in Dongshi, and it is said that she was defiled and killed by Nie Dalang.

Now Nie Dalang has been imprisoned and is being held in Dali Temple. "

"A fool kills?"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it a frame-up?"

"The witnesses and the physical evidence are convincing. The Zhen Fusi has smelled it with a fine dog, and the traces left on the body of the deceased were left by Nie Dalang.

Zhenfusi's fine dogs can never go wrong. "

Wang Xiaosi said vaguely: "Their family is also evil. The son was born stupid, and the wife died of dystocia when giving birth to the daughter. The husband fell off the bridge a few years ago and became limped. The youngest daughter is fine.

So everyone said that she was the lone star of the devil. "

"Is that so?"

Li Ang nodded, looking at the direction in which the little girl ran away, frowning slightly.

————

Tiansha Lone Star is actually a synonym for unlucky and pitiful.

Li Ang was walking on the way home, Yu State is really too big, there are always places that Yu State's court and academy cannot take care of.

If defined by loose standards, those poor people living in remote state capitals can all be the lone stars of heaven and earth.

Tread Tread.

He walked to the Jinchengfang mansion, nodded and greeted the palace guards outside the mansion, and stepped into the door.

In the courtyard, Li Leling is still supervising Chai Chai's studies.

I don't know if it's because of Li Leling's frequent feeding during this period, but I feel that Chai Chai's face has become rounder, and his arms seem to have become more charming.

"Sunrise is back."

Li Leling put down his book, and asked with a smile, "What do you want for dinner? Mutton in a water basin or Lengtao leaves."

"Mutton. I just bought some fermented glutinous rice."

Li Ang put the food box containing fermented glutinous rice on the table, watched Li Leling standing in the corridor, commanding the royal chefs in the back kitchen - during this time, Li Leling used the excuse of "better tutoring Chai Chai's life and study" , A group of royal chefs came over to cook for Li Ang's family.

At dinner, the three of them sat at the dining table, chatting while eating, and Li Leling occasionally asked Chai Chai some exam questions and today's study experience.

It feels weird, there is an inexplicable sense of sight of a family of three.

Forget it, after the Chai Chai Academy exam is over, let's thank Li Leling again.

Li Ang shook his head, shaking the messy thoughts out of his mind.

tread.

A Jinwu guard walked into the courtyard and whispered a few words to Li Leling.

"The king of Changxiang County is visiting?"

Li Leling raised her eyebrows in surprise, and exchanged a glance with Li Ang.
