- After Mo Ye and Wu Shu, who were disguised in disguise, hurriedly left the Xiao family's medicine house, it didn't take long for Xiao Song, the owner of the medicine house, to take off the thick cotton robe that was still clean and tidy on his body, changed into gray linen clothes, pulled out a straight wood knife hanging on the wall of the bedroom, went to the backyard to fetch a bucket of well water, and squatted next to the well and began to sharpen the knife seriously.

Although Xiao Song's linen clothes are not dyed with dye, reflecting the original dark color of twine, it looks a little dirty, and it seems that it can't be washed clean, but on the appearance of the cloth woven by this body of twine, those spots and red marks are still obvious and dazzling, and the different shades of color are faintly reflected, this dress is likely to be Xiao Song's special dress when he wants to do something special.

Among the people and people who know the nature of the Xiao family's medicine house, the rumors about this medicine house and the evaluation of Xiao Chung himself are actually a little close to mixed praise and criticism.

The secular folk title of pharmacist Liao Shi is preceded by a ghost word, because of the rumors, although there are few people who have been treated by Liao Shi, but those few people are still rare to die well. It is also said that the purpose of Liao Shi's treatment for people is to test the medicine on the living, and the diseases he handles have generally turned into unjust ghosts, as if Liao Shi himself is also entangled in a body of resentment from the dead that is difficult to dispel.

In comparison, Xiao Chung's reputation is better, but it is only slightly better than Liao Shi.

Xiao Chung is good at using two knives, one knife cuts the skin and scrapes the poison, and has saved some patients with severe external injuries, but this one is extremely risky, and there are not a few people who die because of this treatment, it is for slaughter. In addition, Xiao Song's second knife is a relatively pure slaughtering knife. It is rumored that he turned medicine from butcher to doctor. Playing a butcher's knife to save people, in today's medical world, only Xiao Chung can do it, and he does not shy away from it.

For this reason, he also caused a lot of trouble for himself, after all, this medical rescue is still out of the way. The experience accumulated by the seniors is very scarce. Today's orthodox medical Tao is actually verified with the lives of countless people, but those are all historical accumulation, unlike what Xiao Chung did in front of him, no matter what the purpose and result are, once there is the slightest problem, the person responsible can only be him.

Because Xiao Song's practice of medicine is contrary to the norm, the treatment scene is quite cruel, and the death rate is high, this method of practicing medicine always gives onlookers a feeling that they are not saving people but accelerating the death of patients. It is customary for the medical profession to disagree that he is qualified to be a doctor.

As for his reputation among the people, it is generally extremely light. Xiao Chung is not without self-knowledge, he knows that the medical practice rules he adheres to are still difficult to be accepted by the public, and often brings endless troubles to himself, and he has been in a cell several times. After changing places of residence a few times. He also understood a problem that coincided with Liao Shi's views and made a similar choice.

Therefore, in recent years, Xiao Song's whereabouts are really as traceable as his name.

And the interesting thing is that although he has not met Liao Shi in person, and talked to him about the life and morality of strange people like them, what he is doing today is very close to Liao Shi - either he will not save people, and once he makes a move, he will have to make a lot of money, and then disappear for a while.

In this regard, it is slightly different from Liao Shi's practice of picking large families to cut silver bags. Xiao Chung's patients are generally high-rollers. These people are not afraid of bloodshed and pain, but they spare a lot of money, but a lot of the rich money they have is also exchanged for their lives, so there is no shortage of outlaws among this kind of people. Xiao Chung did not have Liao Shina and other poisoning methods, and his ability to protect himself was very limited, so he chose to change places and then prescribe a medicine store after making a fortune.

If you want to keep yourself safe, if you don't use force, you must not be lacking in intelligence. Xiao Chung mostly treats ranger warriors and rogue thieves, and over the years, he has not missed a lot of time during this period, but he can still live well, even if he is not a very smart person, he has definitely refined his own set of routines.

Just a few days ago, when the sloppy groom came to the medicine house with a man in white who had been poisoned, Xiao Chung only glanced at these two faces, and the first thing he thought about was not to treat people, but to secretly say that he would move again soon.

It's only been a year since he last moved, and in fact, he still likes the capital city of Koyo, New Kyoto. It is very prosperous here, it is rare to be a big coastal city, and there is a son of heaven in charge, and the legal system is thorough and strict, which is really suitable for people like him who do not worry about no money and spend, and have already made enemies in several counties in Siye choose to live. Therefore, when he first moved here, he was already thinking about whether to stop the knife and live a plain and peaceful life with peace of mind.

But this consideration is not absolutely constant.

For example, the price offered by the sloppy groom to save people was too rich and attractive, full of 1,000 taels of silver, enough for him to spend the rest of his life without doing anything. And if he doesn't use knives anymore from now on, with his ordinary appearance and low-key lifestyle, even if he makes a special exception this time, and doesn't move after the treatment of people, and simply moves directly to live in the inner city of Kyoto, no one should recognize him.

This idea had been swirling in Xiao Song's mind when he treated the man in white who was deeply poisoned, and after sending away the man in white who was out of danger yesterday and receiving the one thousand taels of snow-colored silver ingots cashed by the sloppy coachman who accompanied him, it was only a day or two to prepare for the pack to be taken away, and the idea of collecting the knife and settling down in Xiao Song's heart also fell into place.

However, while the two people who suddenly visited today made Xiao Song feel strange and apprehensive, after observing these two uninvited guests, especially the older man among them, Xiao Song's plan to collect the knife and settle down vaguely wavered again.

Is it really just a whim at the beginning of the moment and a means of making a living after changing the knife of slaughter to a knife that cuts the skin and heals diseases? Of course, these two reasons cannot be ruled out, but at the same time, they cannot be ignored, Xiao Chung is willing to take such a big risk and trouble, and embark on such a wrong path of medicine, it must also be a copy of his love for this industry.

Xiao Chung has been practicing medicine for many years, and although his usual treatment methods are not recognized by the medical community, since it is a skill to treat diseases and save people, no matter how the way it is presented changes, some knowledge points are the cornerstone. Xiao Chung can use a knife to treat diseases, it doesn't mean that he will only do this, other four tips of medical Taoism, as well as medicinal herbs are necessary to learn, and now he has accumulated a lot of experience in these aspects, since then he has closed the knife and become a local village doctor, absolutely no problem.

But he didn't choose to do so.

In his opinion, either let him follow the knife, abandon all the medicine boxes and medical canons, and completely leave the path of practicing medicine, or he will carry the knife to the end, even if this insistence will make him have to hide all day long.

It's a persistent love.

Because of this attachment, this kind of love is not easy to extinguish, and even if you forcibly restrain this kind of affection, it is very easy to be affected by a little bit of foreign objects and explode again, picking up what has been left behind.

Among the two people who suddenly came to visit today, although the person who came meant to diagnose the fair-skinned young man, in Xiao Song's opinion, he was more concerned about the other - the man with a very different skin color on the left and right sides.

Xiao Chung practiced medicine with a knife and treated diseases, no matter what the process was, the purpose must be to save people's lives, of course, he would not just cut or stitch up, but also because he had studied this way wholeheartedly for many years and had several successful experiences, so he only glanced at the man's face and became suspicious.

- Half of the face seems to have been sewn up!

Most of the people who usually have the opportunity to communicate with Wu Shu would not make such a guess about the appearance that his face was different. Everyone will naturally feel in their hearts that they don't need to ask, that is, a birthmark that is too large, but it is a pity that this strong and powerful man has been living a dodgy life.

Xiao Chung is probably one of the few people in this world who can take a look at it and think about the art of skin and flesh repair.

Just because he loved this medical technique deeply, he only took a look at it and paid attention to it, and then looked at it a second time, and sure enough, there were some slight new discoveries. The edges of the half of the young man's complexion, which were indeed faintly seamed, were indeed faintly seamed, but perhaps because of a little more age, those marks now seemed more likely to be mistaken for slight skin wrinkles.

But Xiao Chung didn't think so, and after just a few careful glances, he could have reason to confirm his conjecture. Although he had only a few dozen cases of stitching and threading on human skin, he had already made more than a thousand attempts to mend them by borrowing pigskins, sheepskins, and many animal skins -- although his methods of medical treatment looked bloody and cruel, this did not mean that he did not know how to value human life.

In any case, he is also a healer with the highest purpose of curing the sick and saving people.

And the man with a strange face who suddenly came to visit today made Xiao Chung a little disheartened by the doctor who carried the knife to save people, and his mentality came back to life.

It turns out that his choice is not lonely, and there are other people in this world who choose to practice medicine with surgery, and the method seems to be more subtle.

This discovery made Xiao Chung quite excited, although he was bold enough, but he could move a knife in the head, which he had not yet thought of, and the colleague he had never met had done it a long time ago, and he could do it so exquisitely.

It seems that there are still great deficiencies in my medical skills, as well as the upside of excellence!

So Xiao Chung changed the decision he had made a few days ago and picked up what he was going to leave behind yesterday.

He decided to go one more step on this path of sword practice, and even though he might unfortunately not be able to go long on this path because of some troubles, at least he would hold on until he could meet the fellow godman, and the knife in his hand was not yet unfamiliar, so that he could be qualified to communicate with the fellow god-man-
