Chapter 90: Collecting Medicine
"I can't." Lin Yaozong replied very simply, so that Lin Yi's confidence was beaten to the ground, "The reason why I teach it to you now is also a last resort." ā
"As a last resort?" Lin Yi was even more puzzled.
"That's right," Lin Yaozong nodded, "On the one hand, it's because of your own Gu poison, and on the other hand, it's for the sake of your medical skills with Yanjing Medicine to Li Luoshan in half a month." ā
After a pause, Lin Yaozong said again: "Child, do you remember the generational grievances between the Lin family and the Li family that I told you during the day?" ā
Lin Yi nodded noncommittally. He really wanted to know what grievances the Lin family and the Li family had back then.
"More than 30 years ago, the Lin family, like the Li family, was the two most famous Chinese medicine families in Yanjing. At that time, in the field of Chinese medicine, my reputation even overshadowed Li Luoshan. Lin Yi could see that his grandfather had a proud look on his face when he spoke, but at the end of the mention of "Li Luoshan", a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
Lin Yi didn't speak, and quietly listened to his grandfather continue to talk about the rest of the matter, "However, because of the medical skill competition that year, I not only lost the title of the king of medicine, but also buried the huge industry accumulated by the Lin family for generations in the hands of Li Luoshan, a despicable villain!" ā
"Li Luoshan is a despicable villain?" Lin Yi couldn't imagine that his grandfather and Li Luoshan still had such a relationship.
"Yes!" When it came to Li Luoshan, Lin Yaozong even lost his previous calmness and composure, gritted his teeth and said: "On the eve of the medical skills competition, he sincerely invited me to go out for a drink, I thought he wanted me to show mercy to his subordinates on the next day's competition, but I didn't expect me to fall in love with him!" ā
"He actually poisoned the wine while I wasn't looking. This poison is very evil, and the poisoned person does not feel anything at the time, but after 12 hours, all the true qi in the body will be suddenly dispersed, and it will not be until 48 hours later that the true qi in the body will be restored. This also led me to not be able to compete with him with my true qi on the day of the next day's big competition, so that he could win the big competition dirty. ā
"And before the game, he also used the radical method to bet on the property owned by their respective families, and at that time I blamed me for being too conceited about my medical skills, and agreed to his bet, but I didn't expect to end up bankrupt."
"Afterwards, although I knew that I was plotted by Li Luoshan, I had no way to think about it when I was already bankrupt, so I had no choice but to leave Yanjing with your father, who was still young." With a heavy sigh, Lin Yaozong finally told the hatred that had accumulated in his heart for many years.
Lin Yi couldn't help but crack his teeth when he listened.
Li Luoshan actually used such a despicable method to plot against his grandfather!
Holding the fragment of the "Green Capsule Sutra" tightly in his hand, Lin Yi secretly swore that he must let Li Luoshan get the punishment he deserved.
It's been a week in the blink of an eye.
Nine days have passed since the day of the Gu Formation, but Lin Yi was surprised to find that the poison of "Ten Thousand Insects Devouring the Heart" every nine days that his grandfather said had not occurred in his body.
Lin Yi was secretly happy about this. Perhaps, this is the result of grandpa applying acupuncture to himself every day.
At this time, he was lying on his bed, holding his mobile phone in his hand and reading the contents with relish.
"Grandpa is too outdated, what kind of society is it now, where do you still need to hold a yellowed scripture book all day long and gnaw it repeatedly, just put it in your mobile phone and read it." Lin Yi felt a little proud in his heart.
In fact, on the night he got the fragment of the "Green Capsule Sutra", Lin Yi took pictures of the entire scripture one by one with a mobile phone camera and stored it in his smartphone.
As for the original scripture, Lin Yi hid him in a very secret place in his room.
In a week, he has read this fragment of the "Green Capsule Sutra", if there is something in it that he does not understand, he immediately ran to ask his grandfather for advice, and he is talented and intelligent, and he has mastered a lot of strange medical skills unconsciously.
Of course, these are all in the theoretical stage, and Lin Yi does not have the opportunity to take real patients into practice.
Just when he saw an obscure knowledge point, he was thinking sadly, and a coquettish voice interrupted his thinking.
"Brother, brother! Hurry up, grandpa told you to go. Lin Shan rushed in and went directly to pull Lin Yi who was lying on the bed.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yi wondered.
"I heard that grandpa asked us to go up the mountain to collect medicine!" Lin Shan was very excited, with a slight force, and pulled Lin Yi up from the bed with one hand.
Lin Yi's arm was pulled in a little pain, and he couldn't help complaining: "It's a good girl, instead of learning some serious medical skills, she has been pestering her grandfather to teach you martial arts, and when you reach the age of marriage in the future, who will dare to marry you?" ā
"What did you say?" Lin Shan raised her eyebrows and looked at each other angrily.
Seeing the other party's expression, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel slightly frightened in his heart.
This sister of mine is somewhat similar to the great writer Lu Xun. However, people gave up medicine and literature, while Lin Shan decided to give up medicine and martial arts after studying medicine for two years.
For more than ten years, Lin Shan's force value is stronger than herself, which is not a star and a half.
Lin Yi didn't dare to guarantee that if he repeated the original words, Lin Shan would abuse himself in what way.
"Hehe," Lin Yi laughed, "I'm wondering, why haven't you been to school in the past few days, I remember that you are only a sophomore in high school, and you haven't graduated from high school yet!" ā
"Brother, do you really don't know, or if you don't know, I'm on summer vacation!" Lin Shan was successfully diverted, and Lin Yi secretly clenched his fist in his heart, so dangerous!
"It turned out to be summer vacation, I said. Let's go see Grandpa. ā
When he came to his grandfather's room, Lin Yaozong had been waiting there for a long time.
"Xiaoyi, I want to tell you today, there is not much inventory of the star anise maple root that treats your Gu poison, you and Xiaoshan will go to the back mountain to pick some more, there are still two months before the Ninety-Nine Double Ninth Festival, and there are still many days to use medicine."
The back mountain is a rolling mountain range, and Lin Yi has followed his grandfather to collect medicine in it since he was a child, so he knows that there are many Chinese herbs in it.
"Hmm." Lin Yi nodded.
Lin Shan had an excited expression on her face, and couldn't wait to say, "Then let's go quickly!" ā
"Wait, at least bring some medicine collection tools." Lin Yi can understand Lin Shan's expression at this time.
Since she went to high school, this little girl has rarely followed her grandfather to the mountains to collect medicine, and the last time she went to Houshan, it seems to be a year ago.
Prepare the shovel medicine basket, change into hiking shoes, and Lin Yi and the others are ready to go.
ā¦ā¦
Lin Yi's home is located at the junction of Lin'an City and other cities, and the rolling mountain range behind the mountain is called Daqiao Mountains.
There are many huge trees and various exotic flowers and grasses in its mountains, as well as some jackals, tigers and leopards, which belong to the national second-class nature reserve.
At this time, the two of them were walking one foot deep and one foot shallow in the mountains, and there was a tall and strong wolf dog in front of them constantly exploring the way.
"Brother, tell me, apart from the killer named Bing Lan last time, have you encountered anything else exciting in Yanjing?" Lin Shan felt that what Lin Yi said last time was not enjoyable, and wanted to hear some other things.
"What's the excitement there's going on?" Lin Yi observed the surrounding grass and trees while walking, looking for traces of the octagonal maple root, "Every day I treat a few patients, it is very dull." ā
When Lin Yi spoke, he couldn't help but think of several women in Yanjing City.
I wonder how they live in Yanjing now?
In a week at most, I will be able to see them again. Lin Yi's heart was faintly excited.
"Wow, brother, look, it's a snake!" Lin Shan's cheers interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts.
Lin Yi followed her gaze.
A seven-foot python with black and yellow patterns was entrenched on a big tree not far away, spitting blood-red letters at the two of them.
"Hey, dare to spit snake letters at us, see how this girl cleans you up!" While speaking, Lin Shan casually picked up a palm-sized stone on the ground, aimed at the target, and with a flick of his wrist, the stone was already shooting towards the target.
The python in the tree didn't have time to react, and was hit the head by a stone. The python immediately fell from the tree, and for a moment it was a little dizzy, and it didn't even know where to run.
Immediately after that, Lin Shan rushed forward, his arm stretched out, and he had already grabbed the python's seven inches.
Letting the python struggle in pain on his wrist, Lin Shan was not moved at all, and was not even afraid at all, he directly shoveled off the snake's head with the shovel he carried, threw it into the medicine basket containing herbs, and smiled at Lin Yi: "Brother, the taste of this python's thin skin and tender meat must be very delicious, go back and let my mother fry a plate of braised snake meat, let's have a good meal." ā
Taking in all of his sister's watches, Lin Yi stood in place and instantly petrified.
Catching snakes with bare hands, and eating snake meat, where is this still a delicate and frail girl, it is clearly a female man!
Thinking of Tang Jingya, who went to Dabai Mountain to collect medicine and was with him last time, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.
is the same woman, the same age, how can there be such a big difference in life?
"Brother, why are you in a daze?" Seeing that his brother didn't react for a long time, Lin Shan walked over and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.
Lin Yi gasped in pain.
This palm, which seems delicate, is simply a Rakshasa hand!
"It's nothing, let's find herbs." With that, Lin Yi walked straight to the front.
"Wangwang~"
A series of restless dog barks sounded in the depths of the jungle, and Lin Shan was slightly surprised: "What happened to Da Hei, usually even if it encounters jackals and wild boars, it won't bark." ā
The two chased after the dog's barking, and after a while, they saw the tall big black lying trembling in a pair of bushes and whimpering in a low voice, his eyes full of indescribable fear.
Seeing this, Lin Yi was also a little puzzled.
Usually the big black, but the fierce wolf dog that can fight one against three, ordinary jackals and wild boars dare not approach it, Lin Yi really can't think of any other beast that can scare it like this.
"If we don't go back first, I have a bad premonition." Lin Yiti yƬ said.
Although Lin Shan is a master of art and bold, she is a girl after all, so she can't help but nodded: "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." ā
