Chapter 24: The Bloody Case in the Rivers and Lakes

These three newly recruited apprentices don't know martial arts at all, if they are taken out to walk the rivers and lakes, there are many inconveniences, and Tongcheng County is not a suitable place to practice, Duan Yi bought horses for the three apprentices, and took them to the west to find a suitable place to practice.

Two days later, the four of them came to Luotian County, about 200 miles west of Tongcheng, and had not yet entered the city, and ate at a restaurant on the official road.

There are a lot of people coming and going on this official road, and the business is not bad, and many of those diners are talking about how Duan Yi got rid of the big bully in Tongcheng County a few days ago.

When the four masters and apprentices were eating lunch, they saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy on the official road, carrying an old man on his back. The teenager did not carry the old man directly, but carried a small chair, the small seat was tied with straps, and his hands reached into the straps to carry the small chair with his shoulders, the way of carrying was somewhat similar to the backpack of the 21st century, and the old man sat on the small seat, which was much more comfortable than directly making people carry it.

The young man carried the old man on his back and slowly walked to the restaurant, and ordered two bowls of white rice, the cheapest dish with meat.

I only heard the old lady cough twice, and said: "Yue'er, let's save some effort, I've already been to several counties, so don't take me into the city for medical treatment anymore, we can't afford to pay for the consultation and medical expenses." “

The young man said, "Mother, the child will definitely ask the doctor to heal you, and you will definitely be able to meet a kind doctor to heal you." “

Some of the guests at the other tables next to him saw that the old lady was coughing from time to time, and they were so worried that they had tuberculosis and passed away.

At this time, the owner of the restaurant came over and said: "Guest officer, you can bring the food and eat it on the road, I won't accept the meal money, you see, there are many customers who are worried that you will be contagious if you have tuberculosis, so they don't dare to come to eat." “

The young man took out a big bowl and put up the rest of the meal, gave the money for the meal, and said, "Thank you shopkeeper, we will leave, it will not hinder your business." Mother, let's go. “

The boy helped his mother into the small chair and carried it to leave.

"Wait, little brother, let me see your mother."

The mother and son looked at Duan Yi and stopped.

"Childe, do you know how to heal?" The boy was stunned.

"A little bit of understanding, let me see!"

Duan Yi took the pulse and said, "How long has your mother been coughing?" Have you ever had this type of disease before? “

"My mother has been sick for more than five months, and she has been in good health before, and she has never had this disease."

Duan Yi's father was a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, but he never studied traditional Chinese medicine systematically, and only knew some basic medical theoretical knowledge.

From the inquiry of the two people's conditions and the analysis of the symptoms, Duan Yi roughly judged that the teenager's mother's disease was one of the three diseases of chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and tuberculosis. If it is chronic bronchitis, it can be cured in ancient times, and as for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, although it cannot be completely cured in ancient times, it can be treated and alleviated, and these two diseases are not contagious; If you have tuberculosis, it is an incurable disease in ancient times, and the life expectancy of such an incurable disease is generally one to three years, and it can also be transmitted to others.

The young man knelt in front of Duan Yi, kowtowed, and said, "Ask Gongzi to heal my mother, I, Meng Yue, am willing to make cows and horses for Gongzi." ”

"Little brother, I can only preliminarily diagnose that your mother has lung disease, and as for the specific condition, I need to find a skilled doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine. Don't worry, I'll help you find a doctor to heal your mother, and I'll take care of the money. ”

"Thank you, Eun-gong!" Meng Yue kowtowed while crying, what a rare filial son.

Aunt Meng coughed a few times and said slowly: "Engong, thank you for your great kindness, son, you will repay Engong well in the future!" ”

Duan Yi was worried that Meng Lao Niang had tuberculosis, so he taught Liao Xiya to make a few sets of masks.

Duan Yi took Meng's mother-in-law and son-in-law, and rushed to Luotian County with his apprentices, and after entering the county seat, he went to find the doctor with the best medical skills in the county to diagnose Meng Laoniang.

After the doctor's diagnosis, he said to Duan Yi and Meng Yue: "Guest officer, although her tuberculosis is not the most serious, it can only be relieved by taking medicine and conditioning, and cannot be cured, if it is properly conditioned, she can have a life span of five to eight years."

According to the doctor's diagnosis, Duan Yi can basically determine that it is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, if even the doctor can't cure himself, there is no way, Jiuyang Zhenjing and other internal skills can help others treat internal injuries and poisoning, but they can't help people treat diseases.

Unless the patient cultivates his own internal strength, the disease can be gradually eradicated, in the martial arts world, people with deep internal strength basically will not get sick, unless they are beaten to death by others, or they generally die without illness. If the internal strength is cultivated to the late innate stage, under normal circumstances, you can live to be more than a hundred years old, and the three elders in the Tianlong World are almost a hundred years old, and finally they died because of the battle. In the Condor World, Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong died because their internal strength was exhausted, like Master Yideng was already over a hundred and one hundred years old when he was discussing the sword in Huashan for the third time, and Huang Yaoshi was also over ninety years old at that time. Zhang Sanfeng in the Yitian world has a longer lifespan.

This next paragraph is easy to get this Meng Yue's idea.

"Meng Yue, if you want your mother to be completely healed, there is only one way to cultivate internal strength."

"Duan Daxia, are you willing to teach my mother's internal skills?"

"If you can worship me as a teacher, you won't have any worries."

"Meet the Master!" While kneeling and kowtowing.

Duan Yi bought the medicine according to the prescription and bought a carriage to take Aunt Meng back.

Meng Yue's home is not far from Luotian in Macheng County, Macheng County is located in the easternmost part of Hubei, at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, Meng Yue and his mother live in a small mountain village at the foot of Guifeng Mountain in Guishan Town.

Duan Yi saw that this place was already secluded, and he didn't reveal his identity on the way here, so he planned to live here and teach his disciples to practice.

As the saying goes: practice one breath inside, and train muscles and bones outside; If you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty until you are old. To practice martial arts, it is necessary to cultivate both internal and external, that is, to practice both internal and external basic skills, and the external basic skills include horse steps, piling, speed, reaction, strength and psychological state.

As for internal strength, since the four of them have no foundation in martial arts, they can only start from the basic understanding of the meridians and acupoints of the human body, and then practice the basic internal strength and mental method.

Aunt Meng's disease is not contagious, and everyone can rest assured, usually those housework such as washing clothes and cooking are mainly taken care of by Liao Xiya, and Duan Yi occasionally cooks a few good dishes.

After everyone settled here for more than ten days, Aunt Meng called Duan Yi and Meng Yue into the house, and said with a straight face: "Duan Daxia, since you have accepted my son as an apprentice, our life experience can no longer be hidden from you. ”

"Our mother and son are actually the wife and son of Ximen Feng who suddenly disappeared on the rivers and lakes ten years ago, my son's real name is Ximen Zhinan, and my name is Qin Erniang. Our Ximen family turned out to be not well-known in the rivers and lakes, but they usually did not offend anyone, who knew that one day ten years ago, when Nan'er was only five years old, someone masked man broke in, opened the killing ring to my family, I don't know martial arts, and I hid in the underground secret room with Nan'er to escape.

When the man in black left, our mother and son came out of the secret room and found that more than 20 people, including Nan'er's father, grandparents and other household servants, had not survived, and since then they have changed their names and moved here. “

Another tragedy, three years ago there was a tragedy in Tangjia Villa, and now I have just learned of a tragedy ten years ago, Tangjia Villa at least already knows that it was 'Fengyuntang' who committed this murder in order to seize the treasure map, so who did this tragedy?

Duan Yi said: "Qin Erniang, have you seen the physical characteristics of the black-clothed person, have you heard him say anything, and what martial arts do you use?" ”

Qin Erniang coughed a few times, drank a glass of water and continued: "I haven't seen the man in black at all, when I took Nan'er to hide in the secret room, I heard the man in black say two words, which means that my husband wants to hand over the martial arts secrets, when the man in black and my husband fight, I haven't heard the sound of the blade, my husband's martial arts are palm techniques, and it is estimated that the man in black also uses martial arts such as fists." “

"The voice of the man in black will be remembered clearly even in another thirty years, as long as I can hear him say another word, I will know that he is my father's killer."

At this time, Ximen Zhinan's eyes emitted a flame of hatred.

Duan Yi said: "Qin Erniang, do you know if your husband has any martial arts cheats." ”

Qin Erniang pondered for a while, and said: "The martial arts of my Ximen family are not very high in the rivers and lakes, but the husband is only practicing the family heirloom technique, and there are no advanced martial arts secrets. ”

Duan Yi thought for a while: Ten years ago, that Ximen Peak didn't have any enemies, he didn't offend anyone, and he didn't seem to have any incompatible competitors, who would kill him for no reason? Could it be that the man in black killed the wrong person?

At this time, Qin Erniang seemed to suddenly remember something, and only listened to her: "By the way, ten years ago, more than a month before the man in black killed my husband, a good friend of his life came to the house, and he took out a sealed wooden box and said that I would keep it for a while, and he would come back to retrieve it later." Since my husband had a good relationship with him, he didn't ask what was in it at the time, so he agreed to help him keep it for a while. ”

Duan Yi patted his thigh and said, "That's it, it's very likely that this wooden box contains martial arts cheats, Qin Erniang, do you know where your husband hid the box at that time?" ”

Qin Erniang said: "I don't even know this, my husband didn't tell me at the time, I remember that after the man in black killed more than 20 people, he faintly heard the sound of him rummaging in the room, thinking that he should be looking for the box." ”

"Zhinan, do you want revenge?"

"I want to kill my enemy right away! But the disciples don't even know who the enemy is! ”

"Okay, you have to practice martial arts well in the future, and the teacher will try to help you find out who that enemy is?"
