People walk for a lifetime, life is like grass and trees, withered or glorious, joy and sorrow are only in the pitch, but life and death are the same.

When Jiang Ming stood in front of the Mei family's mansion, his expression fell into deep thought, even though the rivers and lakes are ruthless, but he can't pay off these love debts, since he can't pay them off, how can he leave?

"Then Xue Buyi, can you help me?"

At dusk, a figure jumped on horseback and galloped out of the city gate, and the yellow dust was like smoke.

Jiang Ming saw the bamboo forest from a distance, and a wisp of cooking smoke wafted away, quiet and quiet. According to Mei Kuan, it should be Xue Buyi who is cooking in the evening, he has no waiter, even trivial things such as eating and drinking, he must do it himself.

Jiang Ming pulled in front of Ma Zhu and said with a wry smile: "This holy doctor is also very virtuous, but this casual habit of saving people is difficult for me." If it weren't for this kind of thing of bowing his head and begging for someone, Jiang Ming might choose to tie it back directly, but he could only ask respectfully, otherwise, if he made people unhappy, even if his life was at stake, he would not move this great god.

Putting on an ink-colored robe again, it no longer seemed abrupt to live in the bamboo forest, he carried a few taels of peach blossom wine, a bamboo cane, and knocked on the simple door.

The people in the house were cooking, and when they heard this noisy knock at the door, they shouted impatiently, "The door is not closed, come in if you want to come in, and get out of it if you don't come in." ”

After eating a snort, Jiang Ming walked into the house bitterly, looked at the old man with messy hair who bent over to make a fire, bowed down and said, "Senior Jiang Ming, I came to visit ......."

"Okay, old man, no matter what you do, you can sit if you want, don't disturb me to make a fire. What's wrong today, I don't believe there is nothing I can do about this fire. The old man whispered resentful abuse, and I have to say that this man's temper is really extremely worldly.

Jiang Ming put down the peach blossom wine, walked over and picked up some fine sticks, and said, "Senior, let me help you make a fire, I will bring the famous peach blossom wine in Jiangcheng, you can taste it." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and he didn't refuse, there were some people who had asked him to do this before, but his temper was not something that a little favor could smooth out.

"Boy, give you half an hour, and then give me the bamboo shoots on the ground to make a dish, this is the harvest I have been digging for half a day, don't waste it on me. After the old man finished speaking, he sat down on the wicker chair beside him, lifted the lid of the wine jar, and drank to himself.

Jiang Ming was not polite when he saw the old man, so he had to put down his body to deal with the bamboo shoots, blanch them in boiling water after pulling out the shells and washing them, and then take out the heat and stir-fry, this process is extremely skilled for Jiang Ming, and he also knows some cooking skills since he was a child, although it is not so delicious, it is enough to become a snack to taste.

"It's been a little slow, but this peach blossom wine is not bad. Hmm, this bamboo shoot is better than my craft, but it's still unpalatable. The old man ate and drank, ignoring Jiang Ming, who was standing aside, and said after eating: "There is firewood behind the house, I am tired today, you go and cut the firewood into half an arm's length." Also, the water in my tank is almost gone, so help me fill it up. Of course, I want water from the spring on the highest peak of the mountain, and there is a special bucket in the house, so I can taste it if I use another bucket. Also, there is a red ginseng plant in the house, now add it to the Ding furnace to boil, you have to add three taels of water eighteen times, and you can add water only after about half a tael of the medicinal juice...... The old man took a nap first. ”

After arranging a series of things, the old man walked into another narrow room to rest, Jiang Ming also wanted to explain his intention, but found that the old man didn't care at all, and didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

"How can it be so easy? No wonder everyone else is unmoved, this healer's temper is really different from ordinary people. Hurry up, it doesn't seem easy. ”

Jiang Ming only found a machete full of red rust, when chopping wood, he often had to use the power of wielding a halberd to cut people to achieve the effect of a general machete, although the total number of firewood behind the house was not much, but the efficiency of chopping wood was extremely low. He threw the red ginseng into the Ding furnace again, but found that it was not easy to boil three taels of water into half a tael of water, even if the fire burned from time to time, it would take more than half an hour, and in view of the old man's requirements for accuracy, Jiang Ming had to come to inspect every half an hour. The other thing is to fetch water into the water tank, the water tank is not big, but the wooden barrel is a leaky barrel, even if he manages to repair it, he can still only bring back a small half bucket of water each time, and because he has to come back in half an hour, he has to run back and forth. It's just that in this way, his physical strength is consumed very quickly, and at night, it is extremely inconvenient to walk and chop wood, and he is exhausted after a night of hard work.

Around the dawn of the morning, the old man seemed to get up and lazily practiced an unknown set of boxing techniques in front of the house, as if he didn't see Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming had already chopped the firewood at this time, the water tank was full, and the red ginseng was still boiling for the last time, so he took the time to take a moment, bowed down and asked with a smile: "Senior, it will be boiled in half an hour, I wonder if you can go with me to save a friend today?"

The old man was silent, and he punched himself, as if he had not heard of it. Jiang Ming had no choice but to say again: "Senior, can you save my friend's life, as long as you have a request, the kid will try his best to achieve it, please give me a chance." ”

The old man stopped his fisting, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Why? There are so many people in the world, and people die every day, if I have to save them, when will I be able to live my own life? I'm just a person who wants to be quiet, I don't want to care about the affairs of the world, you don't know me so well, don't want to press me with any reason that people's lives are at stake, you can't get what I want, and I won't help you." You did all the chopping wood and carrying water voluntarily, I didn't force you, and I didn't owe you anything, don't tweet in my ear, disturb people's peace!"

Jiang Ming was not angry, poured a cup of tea for the old man, put it on the table, still squatted next to the Ding furnace to watch the fire, but said casually: "Senior, you should not be so ruthless on the surface, right? Since I entered this bamboo forest, I saw a simple and quiet atmosphere, I thought that my predecessor was a hermit who cultivated sentiments, so I changed into a dress that conformed to the landscape style, and brought a jar of peach blossom wine that was dark and natural, just to make the predecessors feel that it was not too abrupt. ”

"However, I am not right, although your house is very neatly cleaned, your clothes are extremely sloppy, and it does not look like those profligate literati. Until I noticed a bunch of inconspicuous small graves in the bamboo forest behind the house, whether you were drinking or practicing boxing in the morning, you were facing this direction, and your face was melancholy as if you had a memory. ”

"The bucket for carrying water is broken, and you don't get a new one, and the machete for chopping wood is rusty, and you don't polish it. I noticed the words of Gongli embroidered on the neck of your clothes, so I have my own understanding. Clothes are not as good as the old, people are not as good as the old, and what the predecessors can't let go of is always the past. So the more lazy people are, the more they don't forget to tidy up the house, the more irritable they are, but they still keep the old things and miss each other, and they miss it deeply, and they also have a knot in their hearts!"

The old man was silent, he looked at Jiang Ming, his footsteps moved slightly, and he came to Jiang Ming's side in an instant, and grabbed Jiang Ming's neck, Jiang Ming only felt that his strength was completely lost in an instant, and it was not easy to struggle under such imprisonment.

"Sure enough, the predecessor is not just a medical saint, such forces are at least the status realm. Jiang Ming exhaled hard and said with a wry smile.

The old man stared at Jiang Ming, and vaguely saw the story of more than ten years ago in Jiang Ming's eyes, in the courtyard washed by a rainstorm, a woman in a plain skirt fell to the ground, the corners of her mouth overflowed with blood, and her eyes were filled with gentle ripples. ”

The old man smiled bitterly and let go of Jiang Ming's hand, turned around, and laughed unscrupulously, laughing so deeply that he couldn't stop crying. His lamentation ended, and only the choked murmur remained: Even if I become a medical saint, I can't save you, I can't save you, I can't save you......

Jiang Ming took a few breaths, looked at the old man with fear, and said: "Senior, the kid didn't mean to offend, it's just that my friend is now highly poisoned, and only the seniors can save him, if the seniors can save him, the kid is grateful." ”

The old man laughed at himself: "That's it, let's help it once today, I can't even cure a poison, what kind of medical saint do you say?"

On this day, Xue Buyi came out of the bamboo forest, saved the plum rain in Jiangcheng, removed poison with 100 needles, and put people's lives in danger, and shocked a city in the name of the medical saint.

This city is the holy place of medicine, two famous figures of medical attainments have settled here, so for a hundred years, people of the two races have been a common thing, sitting and talking about the Tao is a means of winning. What everyone knows is that their family is surnamed Xue, and the family is surnamed Qin.

The Xue family has no talent this year, and at the age of ten, he can know all kinds of medicinal herbs, and mortals know everything they see, and as for the medical properties of grass, they can tell it eloquently without being mistaken. At the age of 15, it is not a case that he can cure a stubborn disease that a 40-year-old doctor cannot do, and he is praised as a medical genius. As for three out of twenty, there is a great way for medicine, and fame covers a family, and no one dares to talk about medical science with him. The people of the city say that "medical Tao is easy, but Xue is not easy".

On this day, the sky was cloudy, and the clouds were overwhelming, and a woman in a green robe slowly entered the medical hall under the Xue family, and named her surname to see Xue Buyi, but the little girl couldn't stop it, so she led it in. Unexpectedly, the green-robed woman opened her mouth to debate medical theory, Xue Buyi came one by one, and answered the question more than 100, and the woman asked again: "Red ginseng is cold, born in the land of high mountain cold springs and glacial rocks, five years of rooting, five years of planting, five years of flowering and fruiting, bright red flowers, if it cannot be mined within seven days, it will inevitably attract eagles and falcons to eat." Dare to ask sir, what does red ginseng mean, and what is the medical nature?"

Xue Buyi pondered for a while and said: "Red ginseng can relieve the poison of the liver and spleen caused by fire, which is the principle of the combination of water and fire, and the way of yin and yang. The green-robed woman shook her head and motioned for Xue Buyi to explain again.

Xue Buyi pondered again, and said: "Although the ginseng is red, but it grows for fifteen years, it is deeply cold, and all the medicines used must be boiled with boiling water repeatedly eighteen times, and each three taels of water can be boiled into one or two water before adding water, and the fire does not stop, and the medicinal properties are lost, and the method of medicine is harsh, so it is not easy for doctors to use it." ”

The green-robed woman said: "No, no, red ginseng doesn't need to be justified by Mr. like this." I know that this ginseng is a divination thing, born bright red, and will provoke birds and beasts to eat it. The inner heart is cold, it can detoxify fire and poison, but the combination of yin and yang is not balanced, and the embarrassment of this participation in life cannot kill its coldness despite repeated boiling! From this point of view, although the inner harmony is a skillful technique in medicine, the person who uses it will be contaminated with the poison of the cold, and it is no different from the previous disease. ”

Xue Buyi listened carefully, and realized that the next day he closed the medical hall and went to the mountains to hide. In the same year, the people of the Demon Sect above the city forcibly recruited doctors from all over the world, and the Xue and Qin clans were all recruited, and none of them returned. Xue Buyi survived because he studied medicine in the mountains. Cover the principle of "bright red ginseng" and "wood show in the forest", and the blue-robed woman is foresightful!

Xue is not easy to travel to famous mountains and rivers, looking for strange flowers and plants, quite a meritorious contribution to the promotion of the holy way in medicine, as for the talent and learning, it is not incomprehensible.

One day, he saw a woman lying on the ground on the side of the road and kindly rescued her, but he didn't expect that this woman was the green-robed person who asked in the medical hall many years ago. He picked her up, a little panicked. She seemed to be enduring great pain, slowly opened her eyes, looked at Xue Buyi with some surprise, and said in a low voice: "I have had fire poison since I was a child, and in the past, I relied on drugs to suppress it, and gradually my body became resistant, and now it has finally completely exploded." ”

Xue Buyi only then remembered to take her pulse, as an experienced doctor, he easily found out the clues in her body, but his brows also began to wrinkle. He picked up the woman who was paralyzed on the ground and said softly: "From now on, I am your doctor, and you will not die without my permission." ”

If it was not easy for Xue to say this in the past, no one would not be convinced, but for this only woman who was better than him, even he felt self-deceptive. The woman didn't say anything, a light smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she accepted.

Xue Buyi boiled a series of expensive cold medicines for the woman, and used a special acupuncture method to guide it, and after obtaining the woman's consent, the woman's clothes were removed and the woman was bathed every day, and the woman who was standing in front of the palace of Hades actually recovered.

She can wander around like ordinary people, and she can also frolic and laugh with Xue Buyi, and she has the effect of resurrecting the dead like a real medical saint.

But the good times didn't last long, and after half a month, the fire poison in the woman's body broke out again, this time more violently than before, the woman lost consciousness in pain, and Xue Buyi even felt that she was really gone. But he didn't give up, he still found all kinds of cold medicinal materials to suppress the fire poison in the woman's body, and all the medicinal materials he could think of that did not violate the pharmacology became the woman's stomach and bath water.

She came back to life. This time her smile was sweeter, but there was no hint of rosiness on her pale cheeks.

Do you use medicine or make good use of the method of reconciling yin and yang? But the fire poison that I have accumulated in my body for more than 20 years cannot be neutralized even by the most precious medicinal materials.

Xue Buyi went crazy in despair: Back then, you didn't come to ask, but to seek medical treatment? But at that time, I was useless as now, and I couldn't solve your fire poison. So you explained the path of medicine for me, so that I could avoid the bright red ginseng? But if I can't save you, how can I dare to be famous?

The woman said: But you don't know that there is such a person, she has been smart since she was a child, and few people in the clan slandered, and she once thought that she was unsurpassed in medical skills. Until that person named Xue Buyi appeared, it was a real genius, it was worth letting her follow in his footsteps, and she longed for the day when she could sit in front of him with her medical knowledge and truly discuss the Tao with him. But she was so poisoned by fire that she could not even live a few years younger, let alone the hope of her whole life, until she met him, and the depth of his knowledge struck her, and she was fascinated and fascinated, but she knew that her short life could not be disappointed. She finally retreated in the unsolvable answer of "Red Red Ginseng", thinking that if he became a real medical saint in the future, he would be able to cure her fire poison......

Xue Buyi knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, she couldn't persuade her, and she also cried gloomily on the side.

The next day, Xue Buyi took a blushing and smiling woman to worship in the mountains to get married, the woman refused, so he begged stubbornly, and the two finally became husband and wife under the witness of the mountains and rivers in the wilderness. It's just that this title is far less than they think.

The woman's surname is Qin, the Qin opposite to the Xue family. Other than that, the woman didn't say anything, they were originally a big family of medicine and science who were dependent on each other, but now only two people were left to live in seclusion in this mountain.

In addition to chatting and joking with the woman every day, Xue Buyi went to the mountains to collect medicine in the rest of the time, and studied ancient medicine in the room. The woman also did the things of a good wife, took care of the house, cleaned the house, cooked for her husband, and lived a very warm life.

This year, the woman's fire poison attacked thirteen times, and Xue Buyi saved her thirteen times, but after all, she still did not become a medical saint, and she still did not save her from the sea of suffering.

The fire poison was not cured, and the poison of the red ginseng also broke out in the woman's satisfied gaze, and there was no cure for the medicine stone from then on. The woman who had been with Xue Buyi for a year died suddenly after a long time.

What a bullshit doctor I'm a saint!

Xue Buyi took the woman's body, the bucket that the woman used to cook for herself, the machete that the woman often used to chop wood and cook the fire, and came to this bamboo forest with endless thoughts......
