For a hundred years, there has been a saying in the world: "There is a miracle doctor in the Hanjiang Pavilion, and the hanging pot comes to the world." ※ It was made into a nursery rhyme, and I walked in the streets and alleys of Fangli. Hanjiang Pavilion is located in the north of the Jiangbei Fangli this humid and stuffy place has been a hundred years, according to legend, the first generation of Hanjiang Pavilion is just a wandering medicine merchant, because of the art of Qi Huang and benevolence is widely praised by the world. Later, Hanjiang Pavilion grew stronger and stronger, and in the first year of Tianyong, Hanjiang Pavilion has become a huge medical institution set up by the imperial court in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, most of the doctors in Hanjiang Pavilion are from civilian backgrounds, without any officials, and it is precisely because of this that Hanjiang Pavilion can become a very special existence between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes. By the time of Jianghuai's generation, Hanjiang Pavilion had separated from the imperial court and became an independent institution.

Jiang Huai is kind-hearted and is quite respected in the Hanjiang Pavilion, but since the death of his wife He, Jiang Huai's heart has changed, sometimes he is often angry, and he is also strictly famous for his only son Jiang Qihan.

Jiang Qihan is nine years old this year, this young man has collected all the advantages of Jiang Huai and He's family, his eyebrows are delicate, gentle and elegant, and he knows how to be sympathetic to his subordinates. However, his only drawback is that he has been riddled with illness since he was a child, and minor illnesses in one month and major illnesses in half a year are already commonplace. Because of his constant illness, he had no friends. Growing up, he never met friends who stayed with him for more than three days. At first he would cry, but then he got used to everyone being away from him. They avoided him like a plague, and he would laugh it off. Even sometimes when he passes by a group of children, he will take the initiative to avoid it.

When the people in the pavilion saw him alone, they would always shake their heads and sigh, the little master was so pitiful.

Jiang Qihan was often sick, and Jiang Huai couldn't send him to the school, so he invited his husband to come to the pavilion to teach him to read. Jiang Qihan is extremely talented, smarter than anyone of the same age, and he can understand everything, and Mr. is very satisfied with him. So Jiang Qihan ran to his father Jiang Huai's study like an invitation, wanting his father to praise him, but he saw his father sitting at the desk crying bitterly.

Jiang Huai was very sad to hold a book, in Jiang Qihan's eyes, his father has always been serious and self-controlled, and he has never cried like a child like this. He didn't know whether to step forward or retreat for a while, and he asked cautiously in a childish voice, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jiang Huai raised his head, looked at his son with some dazedness, and then walked over and hugged Jiang Qihan's thin body, choked up: "Alas, Qihan, it's my father who is sorry for you, let you suffer so much at a young age, if your mother sees you like this now, I don't know how distressed she should be." It's all the sins of the Jiang family! ”

This was the first time Jiang Qihan had heard him mention his mother from his father's mouth, and he had no emotions other than doubts, because he didn't have any impression of his mother in his memory, and he heard that his mother He died after giving birth to him. Jiang Qihan's light brown eyes flashed with a confused look, "Is Dad missing his mother?" ”

At a young age, he already knows how to guess people's hearts, Jiang Huai looked at him a little stunned, and said: "Qihan has never seen your mother, will you envy those children who have mother's love?" ”

Jiang Qihan was confused and shook his head in confusion, "Qihan is not envious, it would be good to have a nurse." He didn't really understand what it was like to miss at the time, until many years later, when he met the person he cherished most in his life.

Jiang Huai looked at Jiang Qihan, sighed deeply, and said, "Qihan, you have had no desires since you were a child, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Qihan, why did you come to find your father today? ”

Jiang Qihan smiled, his smile was clean and bright, which made people feel comfortable, "Mr. praised me for my good book back today, saying that I am very talented." ”

Jiang Huai rubbed Jiang Qihan's head and said with relief: "Qihan is talented and intelligent, and he is very pleased to be a father. It's a pity that you don't like to study medicine? Which child of the Jiang family has not studied medicine since he was a child, you are a father and I have been in contact with medical books since I was 6 years old, and at your age, I already know how to prick needles and how to distinguish the smell of various medicinal materials......" As soon as Jiang Huai mentioned Jiang Qihan's medical skills, he would show a headache expression, and his tone became stern.

In fact, in addition to forcing himself to study medicine, Jiang Huai is still a kind father.

However, Jiang Qihan really has no interest in medical books, he likes to tinker with all kinds of organ parts, for this reason, Jiang Huai has lost his temper with him many times, and he has a kind of hatred for iron and steel. But after every reprimand, Jiang Qihan obediently went to read those obscure medical books, and Jiang Huai checked afterwards, Jiang Qihan could recite it backwards, let him smell and distinguish the medicine, and he could not be bad at all. In this regard, JAC is really helpless and quite proud.

In fact, Jiang Huai knew how many parts of the mechanism were hidden in the hole that Jiang Qihan secretly dug in the room, but he did not debunk him. Since Jiang Qihan likes it, let him go.

Fortunately, Jiang Qihan fell seriously ill after that, and suddenly changed his sex, staying up late every day to read medical books, as if he was in a state of selflessness.

In the winter when Jiang Qihan was eleven years old, it snowed heavily in Fang Li, which was the first snow in Fang Li in several years. Hanjiang Pavilion was covered in silver, and in the Qinghe Courtyard, a young man in blue stood in front of a tree, he was barefoot, and his handsome little face was red from the cold, but he didn't seem to care, he didn't feel the cold.

When the nurse saw the people in the yard, she hurriedly ran to him, held his face and said, "Young Master Jiang, why are you standing barefoot in the snow, you will get sick like this!" Let's go back to our room! ”

Jiang Qihan glanced at her lightly, then moved his gaze to the tree in front of him, and said blankly: "Look, no matter how brilliant your life is, it will eventually pass away." ”

The nurse was puzzled by his words, and then followed his gaze and saw something yellow buried under the tree. Suspicious, the nurse walked over to remove the snow, and when she revealed what was under the snow, she fell to the ground in fright.

It turned out to be a newborn puppy.

Jiang Qihan walked over, leaned over, stretched out his finger and touched the puppy's already cold and stiff body, without sadness or emotion: "Yesterday it was still alive and kicking its tail at my feet to please me, and today it died in front of my door, it seems that everyone, even an animal, will leave me." ”

The nurse hurriedly pulled Jiang Qihan back, patted his hand, and said, "Young Master Jiang, you are weak, don't touch the corpse, so as not to get contaminated with any bad luck." This must be the nonsense of those ignorant children in the pavilion, and I immediately called the housekeeper to investigate. As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Qihan to go back to the room.

Jiang Qihan didn't move, shook his head and said, "Forget it, they are just too playful, spare them." ”

"The little young master is really kind-hearted, I will tell the housekeeper later, and no idle people will be allowed to come in the Qinghe Courtyard in the future. These children are really, when they see that the young master is sick, they will bully the young master, and they don't look at who is in charge of this Hanjiang Pavilion! If it weren't for Jiang Qihan's good temper and reluctance to make trouble, she would have told the pavilion master a long time ago. The little master is very sensible, and sometimes the sensible makes people feel distressed.

Jiang Qihan calmly looked at the nurse who was angry for herself, and said indifferently: "It's not good to bury it here all the time, let's deal with it." By the way, see whose dog this is, and tell the owner to avoid being anxious about finding it. ”

The nurse hurriedly said: "Okay, young master, you go back to the room first, and I will immediately find a place to bury the dog." ”

Jiang Qihan stopped her, "No need, go find a fire fold for me." ”

"Huh?" The nurse was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Jiang Qihan was going to do.

After bringing it, Jiang Qihan had already carried the puppy's corpse to the empty snow, and he actually lit a fire and threw it on the puppy's corpse. A flame suddenly rose in the snow, and in the black billowing mist, Jiang Qihan watched intently as the once agile life gradually turned into ashes, there was no trace of pity in his eyes, there was only indifference that he should not have at his age.

Jiang Qihan stayed in the snow for too long, so he really contracted the wind cold and couldn't afford to get sick.

Fu Xin is a child brought back from outside by his father, and he is the only one who stays by Jiang Qihan's side for more than three days, but Fu Xin is quiet by nature and rarely talks to Jiang Qihan, just accompanying Jiang Qihan to read and study together. Fu Xin is more like a companion than a playmate, or a guard.

On the days when Jiang Qihan was sick, Fu Xin stayed in Qinghe Courtyard every day and copied Mr. Jiang's class notes for Jiang Qihan.

Jiang Qihan lay on the bed and said to Fu Xin: "Fu Xin, you don't have to come again tomorrow." ”

"Why?" Fu Xin raised his head and put down the pen in his hand.

Jiang Qihan sighed, "You don't have to force yourself to be my companion, I'm not in good health, and they don't want to approach me, probably because they think I'm too sick." You don't have to listen to my father, you have to stay here, if you want to leave, I'll just tell my father. When Jiang Qihan spoke, there was no sadness or joy in his eyes. He didn't look like an eleven-year-old at all.

Fu Xin said: "Young master, I am physically strong, and I am not afraid of this. I heard about the puppy from Aunt Hui, since the young master is the son of the pavilion master and has a noble status, why do you want to let those people come nonsense? "As long as Jiang Qihan tells Jiang Huai about the evil deeds of those people, with Jiang Huai's beloved son, he will definitely punish those people severely.

Jiang Qihan smiled indifferently, "I don't like to oppress people with my identity, and I don't have the heart to care about others, so it really doesn't mean anything to me, it's better to read a few more medical books." Since you don't want to go, then wait for tomorrow to go to the Valley of Strange Flowers with me, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. ”

"But young master, your illness is not well yet, so ...... go out like this," a trace of worry appeared on Fu Xin's slightly aged face.

Jiang Qihan sat up from the couch, moved his arms, and said with a smile: "I've been lying down for several days, my back hurts when I'm lying down, how can I get better, I'm fine, I know my own body very well." And a trip to the Valley of Strange Flowers is better than reading for ten years. You'll know if you've met my uncle, and one sentence of his is much more useful than reading three books. ”

Fu Xin was skeptical, "Is there such a powerful person in the world?" Could it be that the young master's uncle is the master of the Qinxin Doctor Jiang Rong Valley? ”

Jiang Qihan nodded, quite proud, "That's right." ”

A hint of fascination suddenly appeared on Fu Xin's face, "I have long wanted to meet the Jiangrong Valley Lord, but unfortunately I heard that it is difficult to buy him for ten thousand dollars, and it takes fate to see him." Master, how many days are we going to go this time? ”

Jiang Qihan saw that he was rarely so excited, so he laughed, "Then it depends on how many days the Jiang Rong Valley Lord can keep us." ”
