Woyun Village is nestled between a canyon surrounded by mountains, and the peaks around the village are covered with clouds and mist, as if they are located among the clouds, which is the origin of the name "Woyun Village".

There are no roads in the village, only a dirt road leads to the mountains, and the nearest town is said to be more than 60 kilometers away, and it takes two days to walk into the town to catch a market. Traffic is blocked, and the economy cannot develop. When Ning Tao came to the village, he had a feeling of going back in time, as if he had come to a village decades ago.

Jian Mi pulled Ning Tao to his house, and Ning Tao saw his mother. She was not very old, but because of years of hard work, gray hair had appeared on her head, her hands were very rough, and her fingers and tiger mouth had obvious calluses.

Jian Mi's mother heard that Ning Tao had saved her son and the people of the archaeological team, and said that she would keep Ning Tao for lunch, and asked Jian Mi to catch chickens. Ning Tao couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree. The members of the archaeological team also stayed at Jianmi's home, and Ma Tongtong and another woman helped Jianmi's mother cook. Jian Mi's mother's surname is Jiang, and they all call her Aunt Jiang.

Ning Tao couldn't stay and wandered around the village with Qing Chai.

At the end of the village there is a small temple that looks very old, and the two nanmu trees in front of the door need to be hugged by someone. There is a stone monument next to the steps of the small temple, the stone tablet is full of moss, full of traces of weathering, but the handwriting on it can be vaguely recognized: Yandi Temple.

The god enshrined in this small temple is Emperor Yan, that is, the Shennong clan.

Yandi Shennong is the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang, and Jian Mi's mother is also surnamed Jiang, Ning Tao can't help but have some inexplicable associations in his heart.

The door of the small temple is open, and at a glance you can see the idol sitting on the shrine, holding a grass in one hand and a handful of agricultural tools for shoveling soil in the other. The statue was carved out of rock, and its face was so weathered that it was impossible to see what it looked like.

Under the shrine is a stone tripod used to burn incense, but no incense is burning.

There was no one to be seen in the small temple, it was quiet.

A thought suddenly popped up in Ning Tao's heart, and he said to Qing Chai: "Qing Chai, you help me watch some people." ”

Qing Chai said, "Do you want to relieve yourself? This is not good, this is a temple, but I can accompany you to the grove." ”

Ning Tao didn't bother to pay attention to her, he opened the small medicine box on his shoulder, took out the small porcelain bottle containing the fragmentary Xunzu Dan, uncorked the bottle, and poured the fragmentary Xunzu Dan inside into the palm of his hand. Then, he handed the remnant of the Ancestral Pill to his nostrils and sniffed deeply twice.

The drug allergic reaction of the remnant Xun Zudan soon appeared, Ning Tao's eyes burned, and after a second or two of brief blindness, the scene he saw suddenly changed.

The small temple in front of me still exists, and there is still the stone statue of Emperor Yan sitting on the shrine, but the face is not blurry, it is very clear. A child squatted under the steps and teased ants with grass, he was wearing open crotch pants, and the bird was exposed to the air without cover, dirty.

I don't know whose child it is, and I don't know what period it is, but it's certain that the grass on his grave is probably overgrown, right?

Ning Tao blinked, looked at the small temple again, and was suddenly stunned on the spot.

The woman reappeared, this time standing at the door of the small temple and watching him. Her face was thin and beautiful, her eyebrows were like daisies, and she had a pair of miserable green Danfeng eyes. If it weren't for these demon eyes, she would definitely be a beauty who fell into a fish and a goose, and she might have left a famous name in history, such as Xi Shi, such as Yang Yuhuan, such as Diao Chan and Wang Zhaojun. She may become a poet, such as Shangguan Wan'er, such as Li Qingzhao.

She just stood like that, silent, but she felt that she was full of stories, and every story was so mysterious, as well as the vicissitudes of history and the thick atmosphere.

This was the first time Ning Tao had seen her face, in this sudden situation.

Last time, she was wearing a red cheongsam, and he felt that she was a figure from the Republic of China. But this time she was wearing a set of red Hanfu, with wide sleeves and a golden hairpin on her head, which looked like a lady from the Han and Tang dynasties or the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at each other, time and space seem to be blurred, the past is not the past, and the present is not the present.

"You...... Are you Zhu Hongyu?" Ning Tao spoke up to break the strange atmosphere.

The woman didn't speak, she was just an image that didn't know why.

But it was this opening, and the scene in front of Ning Tao's eyes shook and melted like snowflakes under the scorching sun. His vision blurred for a second or two, and after returning to normal, he could no longer see the woman, and the face of the Yan Emperor Shennong in the small temple was no longer clear, and the years blurred its face.

The drug allergic reaction to the remnant of Xun Zudan is gone.

"Brother Ning, who did you call just now?" Qing Chai said curiously, "But I didn't see anyone else." ”

"Sniff this Ancestral Dan, I can see some strange visions. Ning Tao said that he didn't want to hide it.

Qing Chai suddenly came to Ning Tao's side, lowered her head and sniffed the remnant of Xunzu Dan in his hand, there was no response, she even stretched out her tongue and licked it, but there was still no response.

Ning Tao said: "You have one yourself, if you had reacted, you would have seen what I saw." He put the fragment of Xunzu Dan back in the small porcelain vase, put it away, and then said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Qing Chai followed Ning Tao into the small temple.

Behind the main hall of the small temple is a small courtyard with a stone wall, and a small shed built under the stone wall, in which some miscellaneous items are piled up, buckets and brooms or something, and nothing else.

Ning Tao's heart was a little disappointed, he left the small temple at the end of the village and returned to Jian Mi's home with Qing Chai.

Aunt Jiang and Ma Tongtong were still busy in the kitchen, and Ning Tao walked in to help light the fire.

"Doctor Ning, don't be busy, you can rest, you are a noble person in our family, how can you still let you light the fire if you have a meal?" Aunt Jiang looked very unhappy.

Ning Tao said with a smile: "It's okay, idle is idle, Aunt Jiang, don't say polite words, I came to light the fire to talk to you." ”

Aunt Jiang smiled, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ning Tao said: "When was the Yandi Temple at the end of the village built?"

Aunt Jiang thought for a while before saying, "I don't know the specific time, but I heard my grandfather say that the Yandi Temple was there when he was born, and I think it's probably hundreds of years." ”

"Isn't there anyone to manage it usually?" Ning Tao asked again.

Aunt Jiang stir-fried the potatoes and chicken in the big iron pot, "In the small village temple, whoever has the need to pray to God and worship Buddha will go to burn incense and worship, and no one will manage it." In the past, the incense was quite vigorous, but now no one goes to worship Emperor Yan. Young people, people who have access to the city have gone to the city to make money, leaving us old and useless farming, who still has the leisure mind. After a pause, she added, "By the way, Dr. Ning, why are you asking this?"

Ning Tao said: "I'm just asking casually. ”

Ma Tongtong, who was cutting chicken offal, said: "I have also been to see that small temple, according to my experience, it is at least four or five hundred years old, it is a small temple, and there is nothing special." ”

Ning Tao said, "Miss Ma, can you give me your mobile phone number?"

Ma Tongtong said: "Yes, my mobile phone number is 138......"

Ning Tao edited Ma Tongtong's mobile phone number into a contact, and then dialed Ma Tongtong again. When Ma Tongtong edited his number, he said: "If you borrow that book, you can call me, if I can't come, please take a picture of the book and send it to me, is it okay?"

Ma Tongtong smiled at Ning Tao, "Of course you can, but you still have to give me yours> Ning Tao also smiled, and then said his > At this time, Jian Mi walked in, glanced at her mother, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Doctor Ning, can I worship you as a teacher and study medicine with you?"

Ning Tao hurriedly held him up and said, "What are you doing here? Studying medicine is not a simple matter, I studied for 12 years before I was admitted to the medical university, and then I studied in the university for another four years, and I barely mastered the ability to see and treat diseases. It's easy to say anything else, but this matter of studying medicine is sloppy, and I can't accept you as an apprentice. ”

Aunt Jiang sighed.

Jian Mi also looked sad, but he seemed to understand what Ning Tao said, studying medicine requires a wealth of knowledge, and he just didn't have it.

Ning Tao said: "Otherwise, I'll show you the medicinal materials I picked, and you can help me pick the medicine if you're fine." You can also ask the villagers to help pick it, and I will buy it when the time comes. There is absolutely no problem in terms of price, and you are guaranteed to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Jian Mi's face suddenly turned red.

Aunt Jiang said, "It's really stupid, don't thank you Dr. Ning." ”

Jian Mi came back to her senses and said shyly, "Thank you, Doctor Ning." ”

Ning Tao said: "Jian Mi, take me to your room, and I'll have a good talk with you." ”

"Okay, Doctor Ning, come with me. Jian Mi looked very happy.

Ning Tao took the collected medicinal materials to the simple room, and then told him one by one the characteristics of those medicinal materials, where they could be collected, and so on.

Jian Mi listened very carefully, for fear of missing something.

After Ning Tao finished speaking, he put his right index finger between his teeth and bit it gently, then walked under the wall and drew a blood lock in an inconspicuous place.

Jian Mi looked at Ning Tao with curious eyes, "Doctor Ning, are you...... What are you doing?"

Ning Tao said: "You don't care about this, you remember not to wipe it." ”

Jian Mi nodded, "Okay, I won't wipe it." ”

Ning Tao said: "It's better to cover it up with a painting. ”

Jian Mi nodded again, "Okay, I'll cover it up with a painting." ”

Ning Tao said with a smile: "You are really an honest child, when you are older, I will introduce you to a partner." ”

Jian Mi asked, "Doctor Ning, have you found a partner, and what does it feel like to find a partner?"

Ning Tao was suddenly embarrassed, "That...... Let's go out and see if the meal is ready. ”

After lunch, Ning Tao said goodbye to the members of the archaeological team, as well as Aunt Jiang and Jian Mi, and left along the way out of the village with the medicinal herbs collected by Qing Chai and the collection. Soon after leaving the village, Ning Tao and Qing Chai went into the mountains and forests, and came to a cliff that would not be drenched by rain and drew a blood lock.

"It's past the time for the clinic to move, and I don't know where it's going to go. Standing in front of the blood lock, holding the key, Ning Tao became nervous.

Qing thought for a while and said, "Won't you know when you go back and see?"

Ning Tao stabbed the key into the blood lock.
