For Lan Wang, this kind of life of going to the hospital every day without visiting the clinic and squandering it at will when he has time is easy and leisurely, and at the same time full of temptation. In my previous life, when I was a mercenary, I walked on the tip of a knife every minute and every second, and the only pleasure I had was limited relaxation between one task after another. Even though he can make a lot of money in this business, Lan Wang—in his previous life, he was still called Leng Xuanji—didn't know how to spend the money, he never seriously experienced time, enjoyed life seriously, and carefully experienced the feeling of loving and being loved.

Now as Lan Wang, he can have all of these.

"Maybe this is the legendary travel perk! You can do what you wanted to do in your previous life but couldn't do it. The traverser often said this to himself.

Such a leisurely life has passed for more than a year in the blink of an eye.

Before leaving Yangguan Town, Lan Fengyun and Haizi brought Lan Wang something that would allow him to stand and walk again—an old tree root.

When Master Fengyun put this old tree root on Lan Wang's unconscious leg, this tree root actually sprouted like a living thing without taking root! The newly extracted vines grew and climbed along Lan Wang's legs, until Lan Wang's hungry waist did not stop completely. The tough rattan bent into a brace around Lan Wang's waist and hips, and connected to the rattan wrapped around his legs, firmly supporting Lan Wang's standing body. The traverser could even clearly see that the vines around his feet had grown tiny fibrous roots, digging deep into the earth around his feet, firmly grasping the ground and keeping himself from falling.

"This is a living plant crutch! Ah no, according to the previous life, it should be called an exoskeleton walker! It seems that there are still too many novelties in this world. Lan Wang secretly admired.

With the encouragement of Lan Fengyun's master and apprentice and parents, our young master Lan began to practice walking with this "exoskeleton walker". Although Lan Wang's legs were still unconscious, with the support of the old tree roots, Lan Wang could at least maintain his balance and keep himself from falling, and then use his waist, hips, and upper thighs that were still partially conscious to drive the tree roots forward. The roots of the tree not only keep gripping the ground during Lanwang's walking, but even deform freely with Lanwang's gait, so that Lanwang can maintain good balance at different stages of walking.

The old roots replace the muscles, nerves, and bones of Lanwang's legs—in a sense, the old roots are Lanwang's legs. As long as the vines drawn from the roots of the old tree are still coiled around Lan Wang's legs, Lan Wang is theoretically no different from a normal person.

"Boy, this is for the teacher to spend a lot of face to help you get it!" Master Fengyun smiled at Lan Wang's beard in Haizi's jealous eyes, "This old tree root comes from the spirit tree of the Spirit Clan. This root is actually a doppelganger of the spirit tree, which is able to recognize its own owner and move with the owner's thoughts. Harness it! Until the teacher finds a cure for your legs, it will be your legs! ”

"Thank you for the gift!" Lan Wang shook it to the ground.

Lan Fengshan and Wu Lan were overjoyed that Lan Wang was able to stand again, and they were very grateful to Lan Fengyun. But for Lanwang, the challenge has only just begun.

For a long time after that, in addition to practicing martial arts kung fu, Lan Wang had another compulsory course: learning to walk, to be precise, learning to walk again!

After all, these old roots are different from the lower limbs of normal people, and if you want to control them skillfully and as you like, you can't do it without a lot of hard work. Since Lan Wang's legs were still unconscious, he could only use the strength of his waist, abdomen, and hips to drive his "root walker", and at the same time use his mind to grasp the changes in the shape of the roots as much as possible, so as to maintain the balance of his body when standing.

When practicing in the backyard of the Lan family's mansion and the medical hall, our eldest young master did not miss a lot of trouble. For a moment, the traverser even felt like he was back in his toddler childhood and a teenager who learned to ride a bicycle and fell into the mud! Finally, he could barely walk with the help of the tree roots, and the next big mountain was in front of Lan Wang's eyes again - how to manipulate the tree roots so that he could run or jump! You must know that Master Fengyun let Lan Wang be able to stand up on his own, not so that he could be satisfied with just being able to walk—Lan Wang had to rely on the support and help of the tree roots to practice various martial arts techniques and play every move and style that Yu Jian taught him! It's a lot harder than just walking!

So, for a period of time, the residents of Jiangning Street in Guiyang Street, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, can see interesting dioramas every day: a hairy boy who is "half human and half tree" runs and jumps back and forth on Guiyang Street and Jiangning Street, with a very clumsy and funny gait, and from time to time he will fall on a big horse or sit on a big butt, covered in gray stains like a mud monkey. After a long time, all the children of the same age in several shops on Jiangning Street followed behind the hairy child as soon as they were free, jumping, shouting and laughing, pointing and moving their hands and feet to make him happy; The child was not annoyed, but continued to run and jump as if no one was around. After a while, the ten-year-old child, who was half man and half tree, ran faster and more steadily, and his whole body ran like a fly, and the speed could even compete with that of a galloping horse—and the boy had indeed tried to race against the carriages that passed on the road, and there were even winners and losers! In this way, the children on Jiangning Street naturally couldn't keep up with him anymore, and could only watch him ride in front of him; Slowly, after a long time, the naughty boys also felt bored, so they stopped "fighting" with this hairy child.

However, what makes the adults on Guiyang Street and Jiangning Street feel strange is that although the child's clothes are not gorgeous, they are indeed the hands of a solid family, at least the family background is definitely better than the dilapidated families on Jiangning Street. But the son of such a wealthy family was unsupervised, and every day he ran around on the street without seeing any of his parents come and grab his ears, reprimand him, and then drag him back to a certain house to clean up.

It wasn't until later that someone with a heart finally discovered the clue: after this child ran and jumped outside every day, he would always return to the "Lan's Medical Hall" at the corner of the street. Good deeds look at the past, this medical hall is indeed like the foothold of this child, and it is also like the industry owned by a family of his level - in Yangguan Town, the industry that can be named "Lan's", even if it is not opened by the Lan family, must be inextricably linked with the Lan family, and these small people who are promoted to fight are naturally not guilty. What's more, even if the Xinglin family can't be rich and expensive, at least it can make its own children have good food and clothing, which is also worthy of the child's dress.

But soon someone found out: there has never been an adult in this medical hall, and this hairy boy has always been sitting at the counter, either looking at medical books or closing his eyes to recuperate. If you look closely, it is not difficult for people to find that this furry child is really the only one watching the store all day long! One day, when a housewife who went out to buy vegetables came home, she saw this little boy walking out of the hospital with a big wooden sign, and the ink on the "advertising slogan" on it was not dry: "Lan's medical clinic cures all diseases, and you don't get a penny if you shoot it!" ”

The housewife was curious for a moment, so she stepped forward to inquire: "This little brother, may I ask, who is the doctor in the Lan Clan's Medical Hall?" ”

The child looked up at her: "I am!" ”

The housewife almost thought she had misheard: "This young man, I'm asking the doctor sitting in the hall, not who is in charge!" Dare to ask your doctor's surname? Which apricot forest master did you study with? ”

"This aunt, you heard me right, I am indeed the doctor here, my surname is Chen, and I am sitting here. The boy was clumsy, he never studied with any doctor, and he was all self-taught. ”

Our time-traveler still has an eye on it—he can't sell the cheap master so early! And he has also heard of it: Lan Fengyun, the protector of the country, is a well-known grandmaster in the entire Great Ling Dynasty, a totemic existence, if you go out on the street and say, "I am the apprentice of Master Fengyun", passers-by will inevitably treat you as mentally ill!

However, after this conversation between Lan Wang and the housewife, the news that there was a ten-year-old, half-human, half-tree doctor in Lan's Medical Center spread. In Jiangning Street, where small households gather and housewives gather, and in neighboring neighborhoods, rumors spread like wildfire. It wasn't long before the front of Lanwang's medical hall was lively.

But what makes Lan Wang a headache is that these people don't come here to see a doctor, but to see the excitement and a fresh picture! Idle lazy people from all walks of life, old women with a lot of talk, curious children, and even children of good families who are simply curious and ruffians who are rampant on the streets, all came to the Lan's Medical Center at the intersection in groups or groups, and looked inside, and for a time the small medical center was full of people. Lan Wang was overwhelmed and asked everyone to disperse without seeing a doctor, but this stimulated the curiosity of the people who ate melons. The bolder ones began to enter the store without permission, here and there, and the young master Lan adhered to the principle that those who came were guests, and he was patient and did not hinder them; More people still followed Lan Wang's tone with great interest, asking him all kinds of "medical questions", such as reciting a piece of "Tang Yao Song" (similar to the "Tang Song" in the original plane, Lan Wang had already learned from the jade slip and memorized the rolling melon), talking about medicinal pharmacology, talking about acupuncture and moxibustion methods, and Lan Wang also answered them one by one in the spirit of being kind to others.

Day after day, our traveler feels like a monkey, and the people around him are amusing him, but no one is really coming to see him!

Even he didn't realize that a conversation he inadvertently had with that aunt turned into explosive marketing and Internet hype!

But even if our travelers are stupid, they can figure it out: the older the doctor, the more valuable he is, who would dare to let a child who has not grown all hair to treat him? No matter how rich the rich are, no matter how poor the poor are, they don't dare to joke with their lives! What's more, Lan Wang has no serious medical background, and the tone of the advertisement in front of the door is so crazy that patients can have a sense of distrust at a glance. It's okay to be amused, I really want to hear and ask, and everyone is still not sensitive!

Lan Fengshan had noticed this situation a long time ago, and he had to send someone to secretly protect Lan Wang, and Lan Wang could only accept it. However, the Lan family's parents' worries didn't last long—one day, two tattered gangsters with their nostrils in the middle of the crowd came to the door of the medical hall, poured a bucket of dog blood on the door without saying a word, and poured a large lump of foul-smelling grain reincarnation into the door. The crowd of onlookers dispersed in a hurry to see this scene, and only a few brave ones stayed to watch the excitement secretly.

A few thugs were arrogant, saying that this Jiangning Street was covered by the "Tiger Brother" of their "White Tiger Gang", and if they wanted to open a medical clinic here, they had to pay protection money!

It is impossible to pay protection money, it is impossible to pay it in this life, and you can only barely make ends meet by fighting. One of the two ruffians had his right arm and left hand removed, and the other had two kneecaps shattered, and Master Lan also pressed the head of one of them to let him eat all the grains and reincarnation, and grabbed the other one to lick the dog's blood on the door.

Since then, calm has returned to the front of Lan's Medical Center. This time it was completely quiet, and the door of the medical hall was crowded, and Lan Fengshan and Wu Lan no longer needed to worry about Lan Wang's safety. The people who eat melons are half frightened, half bored—people's strange curiosity always comes and goes quickly, and after the novelty has passed, it will feel boring. Most people who watch the excitement also have things to do, and they have a big family to raise, where can they come to the front of the hospital to watch the excitement every day! On Jiangning Street and Guiyang Street, there were only low whispers, legends of the ten-year-old children in the Jiekou Hospital who could not see a doctor but could beat people.

The days went round and round, and they returned to their previous state. Lan Wang was also happy to be idle, and continued to do what he should do; He hasn't enjoyed enough of this leisurely life!

However, the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace is still understood by the traverser. Someone wanted to kill him, the disability of his own legs, and some things about the family that his father and mother didn't say a word about, all like a sword hanging over Lan Wang's head. The hospital has been open for more than half a year, except for repairing two gangsters and offending a "tiger brother" who doesn't know what kind of goods it is, the former mercenary has not collected any information, and has not accumulated any contacts!

Lan Wang didn't plan to just nest in this world and play with mud by himself. If he wants to get more resources and opportunities, he has to jump out of his current small circle. Although his parents still forbade him to run around in Yangguan Town, Lan Wang still seized a few opportunities to go out of the city to the countryside with his servants to manage industries or go shopping in the city market through soft grinding and hard foam, and carefully inspected the humanistic features of this new world.

Originally, Lan Wang was about to give up the road of the medical hall and directly open up the second battlefield to earn the first pot of gold, but after a simple social investigation, the cruel reality ruthlessly beat our traveler back to its original form. Lan Wang enumerated all the artifacts and channels he could think of to make money, and found that none of them worked: oil lamps, matches, soap, glass, mirrors, perfumes, chalk, bright yellow and purple dyes, high-purity distilled spirits, horse-drawn carriages... There are dozens of "traversal artifacts" in this plane, and several of them have even become very popular, and it may still be profitable to sell them, but there is absolutely no profiteering. wants to make a fortune by doing such a small business, Lan Wang thinks that he doesn't have the ability and brains; Even more high-tech things, such as cameras, gramophones, and Western medicines, are even more difficult for Young Master Lan, who was a soldier ruffian in his previous life; If you don't go into business, don't practice medicine and want to make a quick buck, then Lan Wang can only go to be a bodyguard, a thug or try his luck in the underground martial arts hall in Yangguan Town, and these methods are obviously not available options - not to mention whether people will accept you as a hairy child, the Lan couple will not agree to be the first one.

Even if Young Master Lan wants to go to the land to dig food, improve agricultural production techniques, or even sell the Lan family's real estate in the countryside, there will still be a lot of troubles waiting for him ahead. After going to the countryside outside Yangguan Town, Lan Wang came to a conclusion: the level of agricultural production of human beings in this plane is still in the stage of serfdom, and if it is copied from Chinese history, it is almost equivalent to the level from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties! The fields outside Yangguan Town are not villages one by one, but manors, or "granges". Every grange has a grange owner, this grange owner is not only a big landlord, but also a "powerful landlord", these old wealth in their own manor private courts, build forts, raise private troops, serve the population and even private officials, just like the emperor of the soil; A large number of people sold themselves to slavery and slaves for their livelihood, and as serfs helped the farmers to cultivate the land; These landlords and wealthy people also used this method to hide a large number of people and annex large tracts of land. Lan Wang can confidently conclude that as long as he goes out of the outer city wall of Yangguan Town, ninety percent of the people he sees are serfs, semi-serfs and debt slaves who live by being attached to the big landlords, and ten percent of the land belongs to these big landlords! The Lan family has a lot of energy in Yangguan Town or in the border army, but it definitely can't make any waves in the fields and countryside.

Because of this situation in the countryside, Lan Wang's idea of building a new countryside through the countryside has been completely ruined: the granges of these powerful landlords are very closed, and the people in them live according to the family patriarchal law, which is extremely xenophobic and conservative, and it is difficult to penetrate into it; The grange is often not only engaged in farming, but also in animal husbandry and even handicrafts, and the necessities of life are basically self-sufficient, and the whole estate is an independent economic unit completely isolated from the outside world. Therefore, it is basically wishful thinking to induce the farmer or serf to improve agricultural technology and share the benefits with the traverser by means of Huairou. It was the dream of every landlord to be able to increase the yield of crops in the field, but these big landlords were worried that the serfs would be able to pay off their debts once they planted the crops that increased their yield, and their tricks of controlling the serfs through personal dependence, high land rents and usury would not work, so most of the farm owners stubbornly rejected any technological innovation in agriculture. What is even more odious is that because the land is all in their hands, no one can buy or sell land around them, and these powerful landlords can use this to manipulate the price of land. If Lan Wang wants to quickly obtain a large amount of money by selling land, not to mention whether the Lan family will agree to it, these big landlords will immediately join forces to bargain fiercely when they hear the news - after all, Lan Wang can only sell land to them! In this way, let alone making money, the traverser can not be eaten by these local tyrants and inferior gentry, and there is not even a scum left, thank God!

"I haven't made any money, I haven't established my connections, I can't open my golden finger, I can't really be a shame for a traverser, right?" Lan Wang often mocked himself secretly like this when he sat in the infirmary.

But what can he do? In such a deformed society in the Middle Ages, where the urban commodity economy was developed and the rural economy was extremely backward, anyone who came could only do something in vain!

In fact, there is no way to face the dilemma in front of you: just break the trick with strength! Either use the machinery of industrial society to pry open the shackles of the feudal economy, or use the roaring guns to open the landlords' fortresses and smash all the old order! These two options work even better when taken together! It's a pity that whether it is to start the industrial revolution or build a modern army, it needs primitive capital, that is, money! The problem just went back to square one; Without money, you can't do anything! Our Lan Young Master can't take the border army under the Lan family to the countryside to eat big households, right?

To tell the truth, Lan Wang really thought about going back to his old job as a mercenary king and pulling up a team by himself. However, the team he envisioned was a modern army equipped with pure firearms, and the technical level of equipment could not be lower than that of European armies during the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century. If that's the case, it's okay for the soldiers to say, but where is Young Master Lan going to get weapons and supplies? How do you build flintlock pistols and smoothbore guns? The modern army inevitably needs modern industry to support it, not to mention anything else, let's talk about the arsenal - if you want to build an arsenal, plant, equipment, energy, capital, technicians and a large number of skilled workers are all indispensable. Where can I find these things on the plane? Did you conjure it out of thin air?!

After carefully surveying the actual situation in this world, our Lan Da Young Master had no choice but to return to the medical hall again and continue to "sit in the hall", hibernate and wait for the opportunity again.

He realized that while it wasn't an option, networking in this way was the only realistic way to break the game. The little brother can not be recruited, but the big guy can't help but make friends!

The traverser really doesn't believe it, why can't he make a name for himself if he gets the true biography of Master Fengyun? As long as the first patient sincerely comes to him for treatment, he guarantees that the name of the Lan Medical Center will resound throughout Yangguan Town!
