"Master~~ I'm hungry!"

"Apprentice~~ I'm hungry for the teacher!"

"Master, do we have anything else to eat in our medicine box?"

"Well, the licorice has run out, and there is still a handful of yellow lotus left, why don't you make do with it first......"

"Wow......"

On the mountain road, Hua Tuo and the little medicine boy - Daoxiang sighed relatively long, walked for most of the day, and the stomach was already 'cooing', but they had nothing to eat on them, and there were still a few copper coins, but in the year of the catastrophe, rice was as expensive as pearls, and even if you have money, you can't buy food!

In the past few days, the two of them have barely relied on the medicinal materials they carry on their bodies to satisfy their hunger, and their tongues have become numb when they eat, but today, there are no more medicinal materials that can be eaten, and there are some yellow lotus left in the black lacquer medicine box, which is extremely bitter and difficult to eat!

Hua Tuo is exactly fifty years old this year, not tall, gray hair, because he travels all over the world all the year round, eats and sleeps in the open, his face is full of deep wind and frost, and only a pair of eyes as clear as water reveal his bright and unyielding heart!

Hua Tuo is a miracle doctor, but also a poor ghost, usually treat diseases and save people, basically do not take a penny, even the medicinal materials are given for free, at most a little food, as a ration on his own way, as a result, after decades of practicing medicine, his reputation is all over the world, but his private pocket is empty, except for the half-old cyan robe on his body, and a black lacquer medicine box, there is nothing else!

Even the little medicine boy 'Daoxiang' next to him is an orphan picked up by chance on the side of the road, otherwise who would want to be a medicine boy for a poor doctor who has no tile on the top and no cone on the bottom, and can't even eat three meals a day?

As for why the medicine boy is called 'Daoxiang', it's very simple, because he picked it up in the rice field!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Click! …… Click! ”

Just when the master and apprentice were worried, the sound of hurried horse hooves sounded, and a team of Xuanjia cavalry rushed over from behind, and the warriors sitting on the back were all waist long knives and hard crossbows, although the number was not large, only dozens of horses, but the thick murderous aura was terrifying!

Seeing this scene, Hua Tuo hurriedly dragged the little medicine boy to the side of the road, in the troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass mustard, as the so-called 'thieves are like combs, soldiers are like shaving', these soldiers on horseback may rush over at any time to give you a knife, as for the reason for killing, if anyone dares to come over for interrogation, then come again to stab, power is the principle of heaven!

Hua Tuo traveled the world, he had seen too many such things, and he had almost been in distress several times, if it weren't for the name of the 'miracle doctor', coupled with the harmless appearance of an old man and a small animal, it is estimated that he would have gone to check the pulse of Lord Yama!

Among the princes, Cao Jun's discipline is the best, and he usually has no crime with the people, and he never kills people indiscriminately, but it is better to be careful in everything, and if you can avoid it, don't go over, which is also one of the reasons why Hua Tuo can survive until now in the troubled times!

We are treating the sick and saving people, not sending them to death indiscriminately!

But it's a pity, there is no way to get lucky, some things can't be avoided, the black-clothed knight led by him rushed to the front and back, his eyes swept over the two of them, and then he aimed at the black lacquer medicine box, and immediately clamped his legs, and slammed the reins, and the 'ink smoke horse' that sat down suddenly stopped, raised his front hooves, and hissed in the sky, and the sound shook the sky...... "Roar!" …… Roar! ”

"Who are you?"

The black-clothed knight on horseback was Xiao Yi, after finding Hua Tuo's traces at the city gate, he immediately led people to chase all the way over, along the way there have been seven or eight groups of disaster victims, but there has been no trace of this miracle doctor, but Xiao Yi was not discouraged, continued to chase more than once, and finally found this old and young on the field road!

People who practice medicine all year round have a strong smell of medicinal herbs, plus the old man is carrying a medicine box, and the boy also has a small medicine hoe hanging on his body, so Xiao Yi is seven points sure, this old man is Hua Tuo!

However, there are too many people who deceive the world and steal fame, and they are often boasted of by the history books as transcendent and holy, and they are extremely perfect, and when you see the real person, you are disappointed in a mess, and even the bitter gall can be disgusting, such a thing, Xiao Yi has encountered it several times, and he is almost immune!

Let's just say that Kong Rong, who can make pears at the age of four, has always been regarded as a model of morality and a model for educating children, but in reality, this Mr. Kong Rong has no talent and no talent, except for reciting a few sentences of "Analects", he can't do anything serious!

When the Yuan army attacked Qingzhou, Kong Rong couldn't resist it, in order to escape for his life, he threw away his wife and children, and ran to Xuchang alone, and relied on the blessings of his ancestors to get the official position of a 'middle doctor', which made Xiao Yi despise it fiercely for a long time, and he couldn't even protect his wife and children, what kind of man should he be?

So now Xiao Yi knows people, just look at whether you have real skills, don't look at false fame, if this old man is really a miracle doctor, even if he is not Hua Tuo, Xiao Yi will also invite him back, so that he can be raised and let him contribute to the country, if he is a charlatan, I'm sorry, even if you really call Hua Tuo, it will be a knife to the west!

"I've seen Lord Lieutenant, Xiao Lao'er is a traveling doctor who walks all over the world, treating and delivering medicine to the people, and he is definitely not a bad person!" Hua Tuo was quite calm, first pulled the little medicine boy behind him, and then touched it in his arms, and finally found a few broken copper coins, spending money to avoid disasters, this is already all his property!

Xiao Yi's expression froze, he was not interested in those copper coins, but the old man's outstretched hand attracted his attention, dry as tree bark, rough as sand and gravel, and there was a layer of black-brown medicinal alkali on it, which was left by boiling decoction all year round, such a hand Xiao Yi once saw a pair, it was his old Taoist master 'out of the dust', it was exactly the same!

"Shennong Baicao, the fire is endless!" Xiao Yat jumped off the horse, and then put his hands together, palms up, between his eyebrows, to make a flame shape!

Officials have official words, thieves have whispers, all walks of life have their own internal secret words, master and apprentice teach each other, never pass on, the same is true for people who practice medicine, in several ancient sects, there is a set of unique gestures and secret words, specially used for internal communication, ordinary mountains and wild Lang is absolutely not!

"A heart of ice, help the world and save people!" Hua Tuo was slightly stunned at first, and then immediately stretched out his right hand and two fingers, pointing at his heart, he didn't expect to meet his peers, or the descendants of ancient doctors, but why was he wearing a suit of armor?

"The 'licorice' and 'angelica' in the medicine pot, did you add them?"

"That's right, it's what the little old man did!"

"In that case, let's take care of the pharmacology!"

"This~~ Okay!"

……………………

There are internal rules in all walks of life, one physician prescribes a prescription, and if another physician modifies it at will, it can be regarded as a provocation, then the former has the right to challenge and defend his reputation, while the latter must fight, otherwise he has to kowtow and make amends, and in the hearts of doctors, reputation is above all else!

In the former, Hua Tuo modified the prescription prescribed by Xiao Yi without authorization, so he has the right to put forward a debate on the medicinal properties and pharmacology, and Hua Tuo can't refuse, knowing that the other party is powerful, and he also has a blade, whether he wins or loses, he may not be pleased, and he can only bite the bullet.

"Come, set up a banquet, I want to debate pharmacology with this old gentleman to prove right and wrong!"

As soon as Xiao Yi waved his hand, his soldiers immediately took action, on the open space on the side of the road, the leather felt was paved on the ground, and a screen was erected around it, and then all kinds of food began to be placed, oily meatloaf, large pieces of barbecue, all kinds of dried fruit snacks, and the little medicine boy 'Daoxiang' drooled, for hungry people, seeing food is seeing a savior!

When a jar of wine was opened, even Hua Tuo was a little moved, in his life, in addition to studying medicinal herbs, he just liked to drink a few sips, but because of the shyness in his pocket, he usually drank a few sips of bad wine brewed in the village at most, and today is really a blessing, but he is also slightly puzzled in his heart, how can a small captain have such a big pomp?

"Sir, please take a seat!" Xiao You slapped open the wine jar, filled a bowl, respectfully handed it over, and then untied the 'Chopping Sword' on his waist and put it on the banquet, today, if the other party is not a real 'Hua Tuo', then there will be no Hua Tuo in the world!

The toast of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' is not so easy to drink!
