Bidding farewell to his family carrying the 'medicine' box left by his grandfather, Han Ankang embarked on the first journey to the world of medicine since he received the inheritance of Taoist medicine. For this kind of traveling medical world, Han Ankang also hopes to try to regain his identity as a doctor.

Instead of taking a seat on the 'transportation' tools that can be seen everywhere now, Han Ankang walked along the Changbai Mountains, avoiding those bustling cities. Take those desolate but primitive country roads, and walk unhurriedly towards your final destination.

Maybe it's a childhood dream, or maybe it's a feeling that the destination still preserves the ancient primitive living customs. The end of Han Ankang's trip is Tibet, which is known as the closest to the sky, to wash his dusty soul.

Unlike the pilgrims who spread in western Tibet, Han Ankang also walked. But for Han Ankang, who has the cultivation of the foundation building realm, it is even walking. If he wants to hurry, it is not a lie to walk hundreds of roads a day.

Even though Huilong Village is a long way from western Tibet, Han Ankang believes that he should be able to go there before the Spring Festival. As for who and what he will encounter along the way, it is not something that Han Ankang can predict, and he can only take one step at a time.

In the inheritance of Taoist medicine, there is also a saying that 'medicine' medicine is destined for people. In the past, when Taoist doctors went to secular experience, not everyone was able to heal. For Taoist doctors, they only save those who are destined, regardless of whether they are rich or poor.

So who can be called a destined person?

That is the patient who is fortunate enough to meet the Taoist doctor, and he is collectively referred to as a destined person. If you can't meet it, the Taoist doctor will not accept any invitation, disturb the journey of training, and go to see someone alone.

In ancient times, most of these Taoist doctors were like monks. There are exclusive 'sect' factions and stations. Like the monks, they had little contact with ordinary people. Generally speaking, those who usually go to the 'door' to seek medical consultation are also cultivators.

No one comes to the 'door' to ask for 'medicine', and more often than not, Taoist doctors 'spend' on traveling the world, looking for all kinds of 'medicine' materials and strange 'flowers' and different herbs. It is only when they have undergone the experience that they will go down to the secular world for medical tours.

Although it is different from ancient times, Han Ankang still prefers to help those people who live in poverty. For him, money is not the same thing he is after. He is more. I want to find the benevolence of the healer in my heart.

Han Ankang who came out of Huilong Village. It's really like the Taoist doctors in the past. More of them look for usable 'medicine' materials in the mountains, drink the spring water in the mountains when they are thirsty, and feed on the wild beasts in the mountain passes when they are hungry, and live a life of 'open' sleep.

It's just that Han Ankang also knows it. This is not the case. Plus the current aura of heaven and earth. It's not as abundant as it was in ancient times. In the mountains during the day. Han Ankang, who was looking for some 'medicine' materials, mostly found a campsite to set up a tent to practice or rest at night.

This kind of life, which seems to be far away from the troubles of the world, has gradually made Han Ankang gradually find a feeling of peace of mind. How to get up every morning. The sun sets, as if he has truly become a hidden monk.

When Han Ankang felt that his space ring was already full of 'medicine' materials, he realized. Next, he is going to look for the so-called destined person. Find a remote farming village, go to beg for a bowl of rice, and go to treat the people.

When he walked out of the mountain, Han Ankang realized that seven days had passed in the mountain before he knew it. At this moment, he had left the province where Huilong Village was located and entered an Inner Mongolian region with a large number of nomadic people.

For this nameless village that lives at the foot of the mountain, also dominated by Han Chinese. Han Ankang also greeted these slightly more vigilant villagers as a nameless. The villagers also seem to have many doubts about Han Ankang's identity as a doctor.

In these years, unless it is really remote in the mountainous area, the average village is still more or less electrified. With electricity, there is such a thing as a television. The era of scammers has made people a little more wary of strangers.

Han Ankang, who realized this, didn't explain much. When I came to the house of an old man in the village, I said very politely: "Hello, auntie! Can I ask for a bowl of water? ”

Facing a stranger like Han Ankang, this mountain man with only an old couple said politely: "Young man, are you here to travel?" Look at you, you came down from the mountains, right? ”

Regarding the question of the old 'woman' who came out with water, Han Ankang smiled and said, "Sort of!" I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner, so I'm here to find some 'medicine' materials. I felt thirsty, so I came down the mountain to beg for a drink.

Auntie, did you break your uncle's 'leg'? When I see my uncle walking, I feel a little uncomfortable? If the eldest lady doesn't mind, I can take a look for the uncle. It's a kindness to repay you for this bowl of water! ”

Listening to Han Ankang's words, the eldest lady said with a vigilant face: "You young man, you're not a liar, are you?" ”

If in ancient times, someone dared to say that the Taoist doctors of the traveling doctors were afraid that those Taoist doctors would immediately drift away. But Han Ankang knows that the times are different from the past, and the common people hate liars, especially liars who practice medicine.

Regarding the vigilance of the eldest mother, Han Ankang's face remained unchanged and said with a smile: "Don't worry, eldest mother, I am really not a liar." I'm just a young man passing by, coming into your house to beg for a bowl of water to drink, and to know some medical skills.

I think the uncle's 'leg' should be caused by a fall. Maybe your treatment is not thorough, resulting in the root of the uncle's 'leg'. If Uncle Auntie doesn't mind, I can show it for you, and I don't want you a penny.

And I'm not a Western doctor, but a Chinese medicine doctor. If you don't believe it, you can take a look, my 'medicine' box is full of some Chinese 'medicine' materials. What's more, what kind of scammer would go to such a remote village to cheat and not want money? ”

Compared with the vigilance of this eldest lady, the uncle who didn't talk much said very frankly: "Okay, old woman." I don't think this descendant looks like a liar. What's more, we are all like this, what is there to deceive? ”

After talking to his wife, the uncle said: "Young man, my 'leg' has been injured for some years. Because my family was poor, I went to a big hospital for treatment, and I heard that it would cost hundreds of thousands, but I didn't treat it much.

Relying on some earthwork, my 'leg' was finally saved. It's not as good as it used to be, but at least it's still walkable. If you can cure it, then you can cure it, and don't cure my 'leg'. ”

Regarding this uncle's free and easy, Han Ankang said with a smile: "Thank you for your trust, please rest assured, wait for me to do some 'medicine' for you, I believe that the uncle's 'legs' will be restored." If it's cured, I'll pay for it! ”

As he spoke, Han Ankang asked the old man to come out with two chairs. It was in the old man's yard that he began to check his body. Of course, the necessary pulse is still indispensable. And this doctor's style made the two old men feel a little more at ease.

This kind of small village at the foot of the mountain rarely comes in with strangers at all. Except for a few, adventurous travelers, who occasionally go into the mountains behind their village to do some kind of adventure, usually no one in this village will come at all.

Now I know that Han Ankang is a doctor and wants to treat the old man. Naturally, many people watched. In this kind of onlookers, there are also many people who say that Han Ankang is a liar, so let the two old men pay attention.

In the face of these doubts, Han Ankang did not make any rebuttal. On the contrary, he finished taking the pulse and said: "Uncle, you should have used some herbal 'medicine' to heal injuries for your 'legs', right?" Now, every time it hurts, do you swallow centipedes to relieve the pain? ”

Understand that in some remote areas, rural people have a little headache and brain fever, and prefer to use some so-called home remedies to treat diseases. Of course, some of these remedies work, some don't. But the people don't know!

For the people, if they are sick and have no money, they are willing to try any remedies. Even if this kind of swallowing live centipedes is disgusting in the eyes of ordinary people, there are still some old people who dare to do it.

Hearing Han Ankang's inquiry, the old man and the onlookers were also slightly surprised. And the old man quickly said: "Look at your next life, it seems that you really have two hands." Yes, when the pain is severe, I like to swallow centipedes to relieve pain. Isn't it? ”

Looking at the old man's slightly worried expression, Han Ankang said with a smile: "It's not that it's not impossible, this kind of home remedies still has some effect on the old man." It's just that this kind of pain relief is also a symptom rather than a cure.

Did the old man feel that your 'leg' hurt recently? In the past, a centipede could relieve your pain, but now it can't. And the number of pains is a little more than before? ”

Seeing that Han Ankang was right again, the old man said very eagerly: "Yes! Oh, yes! It used to hurt only once every three days, but now it hurts almost every other day. And now, I have to swallow two centipedes every time to feel the pain get better. ”

Looking at the old man's eager expression, Han Ankang said with a little seriousness: "Old man, your treatment in this way is actually more harmful to the body. Centipedes are also poisonous, can relieve pain, and are also a way to fight poison with poison.

If you continue to be treated like this, in another half a year, you are afraid that your old 'leg' will not be able to be saved. However, don't worry, since I said that I will cure you, I will definitely cure your 'leg'. ”

As he spoke, Han Ankang took off the needle bag from his wrist, looked at the old man's slightly black 'legs' and said, "Old man, I will remove the toxins from the wound for you first, and then bind the 'medicine' for you." It's a bit poisonous when it's detoxified, so you have to endure it. ”

Maybe it was Han Ankang's tone, or the diagnosis that made the old man hopeful: "It's okay, it's a little pain, I can still bear it." ”

After the old man's words were finished, Han Ankang used a small needle knife to lightly cut the wound. It didn't take long for black blood to flow out of the wound, and Han Ankang used blood-sucking cotton to absorb all of it.

As the blood in the wound became less and less, the old man also felt that the 'leg' began to hurt again. It's just that compared to the usual pain, he was still able to endure this pain, and he didn't interrupt Han Ankang's treatment.

When the blood from the wound was clear, and the bright red blood finally flowed out, Han Ankang took four needles in one hand. Sealed the old man's injured knee, took out a little 'medicine' powder from the 'medicine' box, and sprinkled it, and the old man immediately felt very comfortable.

The people who had been watching, from the process of treatment, saw that Han Ankang seemed to be really pure. Gradually, his voice that he was a liar became much weaker, and he began to pay careful attention to the process of Han Ankang treating the old man's 'leg'! ,
