48 Hours a Day

The old trainer just opened his mouth and suddenly closed it again.

Shortly afterwards, Zhang Heng also heard the words and hidden footsteps coming from the corridor. A large group of gladiators walked in from the outside, presumably just after training, walking and joking with each other, so the teacher also changed his mouth, “I'll go find you, I'll talk to you later. ”

After that, he came down directly from the mansion and walked out of the hot air bathroom.

Zhang Heng steamed inside for a while and returned to the hot tub.

“As a first-time steamer, you have to admit that you have a good time.” Varo saw Zhang Heng come out of the back, and the former antique merchant seemed to recover a lot of spirit after soaking up in the pool, and stood up from the bathtub, "it was time to see me next. ”

“I'll wait for you here.” Zhang Hengdao.

When Varo came out of the hot tub and the two went to the cold water bathroom next door, the ancient Romans had a very strange bathing habit, and they seemed to like the alternating sensation of cold and hot, but in fact the washing was likely to cause heart problems, in addition to being in a cold, humid environment for a long time, it could cause sailor's syndrome and cause hearing loss.

In contrast, women in ancient Rome were significantly better, and they barely soak in cold water baths.

Zhang Heng just tried and didn't intend to wash like this anymore. Besides, he also advised Varo not to bathe like this in the future. The latter now obeyed Zhang Heng's words. He didn't ask why he nodded and said yes immediately.

And the two of them ended this bathhouse tour with a massage.

According to Varo, although the outside bathroom entrance fee is cheap, services such as clothes storage, snacks and massages are charged separately, whereas the Baths of the Gladiators School are all free to protect the valuable assets of the school owner.

This is probably one of the few benefits of being a gladiator.

When Zhang Heng and Varo returned to their homes, the battle over there was long over. All four female slaves left the room. The remaining two drunk gladiators lay on their beds, looking at the smile hanging from the corner of their mouth, they should still have dreams.

Today is the day for new recruits to pass the exam. Gabi also knows that people have been suppressed for a long time, so he didn't arrange any training on the day, so let everyone enjoy the party.

Varo himself, however, seemed very restrained, taking a hot bath, recovering his mental and physical fatigue, and then returning to the training grounds to start training spontaneously.

He knew that he was fortunate to pass the test this time, even without Habitus' problems, to be downstream among the newcomers with his own hands, and that in order to succeed in getting out of here, he needed to further improve his fighting skills in order to survive the next battle.

As for Zhang Heng, he took a nap and then wandered around in the gladiator's school until dark.

After obtaining official gladiator status, the scope of their activities has indeed grown considerably. As long as they do not leave the door of the gladiator school, they can go virtually anywhere. Zhang Hengxian went to visit several gladiators to learn more about some of the gladiator schools and the people inside them, especially the information of some trainers, know what they are good at, and prepare for their subsequent education.

Zhang Heng paid particular attention to the information related to the old Persian trainers, but in terms of the information gathered so far, it is similar to what was said earlier.

His name is Dadatis, he entered the gladiator's school six months ago, brought a new recruit, and since then he has been specializing in the training of Habitus. His origins are mysterious. He is said to have some ties with Gabi, and they met many years ago, but apart from that, they don't know much about him.

There were also gladiators who asked him for training questions, and Dadatis refused, but his answers and other trainers were nowhere near there, so gradually no one came to him.

Zhang Heng then went to the infirmary again, almost every gladiator school will be equipped with a infirmary, so that the less injured gladiator can return to the field after being treated and rehabilitated, greatly reducing the loss of this owner.

Rest assured, these doctors had good skills in this era, taking Zhang Heng's gladiator school as an example, and even retired medical doctors working here. They were particularly good at dealing with trauma and bone injuries, even equipped with some copper or steel surgical tools, similar to modern surgical instruments, although there were no effective anesthetics other than alcohol and opium, and of course no disinfectants.

Besides, they don't have a very good idea for internal tissue injuries, they just have to wait for their patients to die.

When Zhang Heng entered the door, he saw a doctor who was already half-white, bandaging a gladiator with injured legs, Zhang Heng stood by the door for a while, waiting for the doctor to complete the work at hand, and finally looked up at Zhang Heng after warning the wounded gladiator patient about the precautions.

“Where did you get hurt? Let me see.”

“I'm not hurt.” Zhang Hengdao.

The doctor frowned, "Then why are you here? ”

“Oh, I was wondering if you could buy herbs here.” Zhang Heng explained his intention.

In the heterogeneous copy, he used the rest of his time to learn some herbal knowledge, in order to cope with the current situation of premature copy medical underdevelopment, Zhang Heng picked some commonly used, such as anti-inflammatory swelling, treatment of diarrhea and fever, as well as falling injured herbs, the vast majority of which were distributed in the Mediterranean, but even then he took a long time to explain the appearance of those herbs with drawings.

After hearing it, the doctor will be suspicious. Fortunately, Zhang Heng's luck is good. He met a relatively enlightened doctor, and even earlier in this era, some herbs were popular. After all, besides these surgeons, the mainstream treatment of diseases in internal medicine at this time is herbal plus prayer.

The doctor promised to help Zhang Heng find it. If it really worked, he didn't intend to receive Zhang Heng's money. Anyway, the cost of the treatment room was borne by the gladiator's school, which is why he was willing to accept the invitation to be a doctor here. In addition to the huge remuneration, he also had a number of opportunities to test his medical theory.

Until evening, Zhang Heng returned to his residence.

The old Persian trainer didn't come to him again during this period, as if he'd forgotten.
