Chapter 32: The Ominous Technique
In the Nanban Secret Realm, there have always been many such towns.
They have a simple chain of life and don't seem to have any needs for the outside world. And the hundreds of miles of mountains and forests in Nanban are like hundreds of miles of prison cages, boundless, so there is no exit. The people of this town are also used to it.
This town is just a very inconspicuous town on the border of the Silver Moon Country. Originally, the town also had a tribal name with a strange name, but it was no longer known after it was annexed to the Silvermoon Kingdom. However, the local population does not seem to care much about this.
The town is located on the edge of the dense forest of Nanban, and there is a mountain called the Moon Rock in the depths of the forest, and when it is a clear night, you can see a large moon, and from a distance, you can look at the Moon Cliff, as if the moon is standing on the mountain rock.
The moon rock is very high, and on the top of the moon rock, there lives a father and daughter, who were actually originally a family of three.
The local residents have a lot of respect for the father and daughter. In the Nanban Secret Realm, there are many people who study medicine here to collect medicines, but it does not mean that they can be treated if they are sick in the Nanban Secret Realm.
In fact, most of the tribes in the Nanban Secret Realm are in the 100,000 mountains of the Nanban in the treacherous mountains and bad waters, and most of the people from the empire who study medicine and seek medicine are on the border of Nansha City.
Medical skills are only a means of survival for them, and not many people will really venture into the 100,000 Mountains of Nanban for the sake of medical skills.
Many years ago, there was a plague outbreak in this town, and this town, far away on the border of the Silvermoon Kingdom and the border of the Empire, seemed to have been forgotten by both countries at the same time, and the town was facing the greatest crisis.
It was an outsider who saved them. A couple as well as their daughter.
The civilization of the Nanban Secret Realm is extremely primitive, and if the primitive is reflected in the folk customs, there are often two extremes, one is the simple folk customs, and the other is the barbaric folk customs.
This town belongs to the former. So this group of residents is very grateful to the couple. And because the husband of the couple, that is, Zhong Shenxian as the residents call it, is a doctor, the family's status in this town is even more transcendent.
The irony is here, the Nanban secret realm full of treasures for those who practice medicine, and the most lacking thing is the doctor.
After the Zhong family moved into this town, the locals were sick, injured or poisoned, and they were all treated by Dr. Zhong and his wife. In the past, many people would die of poisonous insects and beasts and various diseases every year, but after the Zhong family came, there were no people in the town who died of disease for many years.
Until one day, Zhong Shenxian's wife died.
On that day, even at the foot of the Yiyue Rock, the residents heard Zhong Shenxian's cry of remorse.
From that day on, the people in the town could no longer be treated by Zhong Shenxian.
It's been six years since that incident. The little girl of the Zhong family has also become a beautiful and moving girl.
She aspired to study medicine at a very young age, but she didn't learn much at the time. It wasn't until her mother died that her father stopped teaching her medicine.
In six years, he never saved anyone again.
The local townspeople are still very grateful for what Dr. Zhong and his wife did back then. Even though they were seriously ill, they still went up the mountain to seek healing. It's just that even if a person dies of illness at the door of Zhong's house, the Zhong Immortal will never save people.
People gradually knew that Zhong Shenxian probably wouldn't save them.
The residents are still very happy, and they have never forgotten the favor of the Zhong Shenxian because of this.
When the daughter of the Zhong family or the doctor Zhong went down the mountain to hunt and chop firewood to buy the family, most of them would enthusiastically help.
In fact, in their eyes, Zhong Shenxian is also a poor person.
This Zhong Shenxian is the target of scholars and cooks, that is, the world's first doctor who moved the continent back then: Zhong Wanxin.
Zhong Wanyu's daughter is called Zhong Yunxiu.
Zhong Yunxiu can be regarded as a local, maybe the people in this town are content and happy, and they rarely have the desire to explore the outside world, Zhong Yunxiu is a very quiet girl.
But without a doctor, there is always a tragedy that will happen at any time. Zhong Yunxiu really wants to change this situation,
……
On the mountain road of Yiyue Rock, outside the fence of the Zhong family's grass house, there is an old man and a young man, and in the old man's arms is a comatose child, the child's lips are purple, he has been poisoned, and the old man has been kneeling for a long time.
In the grass house, Zhong Yunxiu also knelt, she knew that no matter how this old man begged his father, his father would not cure them. So she begged her father,
Zhong Wan Poison was holding a certain poison scripture in his hand, and his expression was full of confusion.
"Ah Xiu, why are you doing this. Your father has long ceased to save people, even if you are like this, although your father is distressed, he will definitely not practice medicine again. ”
Zhong Yunxiu still knelt: "If it's my daughter?" Daddy, don't you save it? ”
Zhong Wanxin sighed: "If it is Ah Xiu, I will naturally save you, I killed your mother back then, but I can't lose you anymore, you get up first." ”
Zhong Yunxiu said: "Dad, why haven't you let go of your mother's death, when your mother is here, the most important thing is human life, but now, you don't save the villagers when they are sick, so even if your mother is still alive, she will blame you!" ”
Zhong Wanxin didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been gentle and demure, would be so abnormal today.
But Zhong Wanxin finally sighed: "I have made up my mind not to save people anymore, you should also stop this thought, after a while, I will take you out of this place, you learn a single skill." ”
Zhong Yunxiu shook his head and said with a firm expression: "No, I want to study medicine, my father is the first doctor in the world, but I don't even know how to do medicine, like this...... That's not right. ”
Zhong Wan's poisonous expression became stern: "I said, your mother died of medical skills!" Medical skills are ominous techniques! If I hadn't promised you at that time, ......"
Zhong Yunxiu didn't wait for Zhong Wanxuan to finish: "That's my mother's willingness, she loves you, and she is naturally willing to do anything for you." But you failed her, and now there is a sick person outside the door, but you can't save it! ”
Zhong Wanxin turned his head, waved his hand, and said no more.
Zhong Yunxiu's eyes were full of determination, and she got up and walked outside the house.
Medical skills are ominous, this is the most said by his father since his mother's death, but Zhong Yunxiu doesn't think so, his father just loves his mother too much, so much so that he falls into endless remorse and self-blame.
Those who study medicine may meet many people who are in pain, but medicine is the art of dissolving pain and bringing happiness.
Zhong Yunxiu made a decision, no matter what, he had to treat the disease and save people.
……
The grandfather and grandson outside the house have been in the scorching sun for a long time, and the old man's body is gradually unable to hold on.
The world is very boring and unforgiving.
If one day your most important person is going to die, but there is only one person in the world who can save him, and he will not save him. Do you blame him?
Zhong Yunxiu knew that he didn't blame his father, and the villagers only regarded Zhong Shenxian as a faint hope.
But Zhong Yunxiu knows that it is not easy to be a person who is not to blame, she grew up in this town since she was a child, so of course she can feel how simple the people here are.
Such people should not die of the epidemic.
"Uncle Wu, how did Xiao Liu get poisoned." Zhong Yunxiu brought a bowl of water to the old man.
When Uncle Wu saw that it was Zhong Yunxiu, he was a little excited:
"Miss Xiu, you have to save this doll in my family, he is so young!"
Wu Bocang was old and stiff, and tears flowed down his face.
"Uncle Wu, I will definitely save Xiaoliu, you tell me, how he was poisoned, what was bitten."
Uncle Wu knew that although this little girl of the Zhong family knew a little bit of shallow medical skills, she couldn't solve many poisons in the Nanban Secret Realm, but she still had hope in her heart, so she told her how her grandson was poisoned.
After listening to this, Zhong Yunxiu secretly wrote it down, and asked Uncle Wu to take Xiaoliu back first. Tell them that they will be cured.
Uncle Wu just felt a little uneasy, what the hell is Miss Xiu going to do? He didn't know in his heart that Doctor Zhong would never save people.
After helping Wu Bo back to the bottom of the mountain, Zhong Yunxiu walked to the forest to the north.
……
The border of the Nanban Secret Realm, the last floor inn.
The scholar parked the inn somewhere in a hidden place, which was already very close to Zhong Wanxuan's residence, and from a distance, he could vaguely see the outline of Yiyue Rock.
The cook is no longer curious about why the scholar knows everything, Zhong Wanxin must have come to this kind of place with a bit of seclusion, but since the scholar knows, he always has his own way.
When he talked with Qi Linya that day, he vaguely felt that the scholar might know a big secret that many people in the rivers and lakes did not know.
But the cook believes in the scholar. It's like the shopkeeper believes in scholars.
An inn, the bookkeeper and the cook, naturally can't have problems with the relationship.
The scholar and the cook left the inn at this moment and walked towards Yiyue Rock, and the two did not chat, because the situation of the shopkeeper did not improve.
The shopkeeper seems to be stuck in his own memories, and often talks nonsense, probably some dialogue that he said to someone a long time ago.
The Empire's hunt will not stop, and if the shopkeeper does not get better sooner, the scholar is not sure that he and the cook will be able to deal with the bounty hunters.
The shopkeeper has changed from coming to recruit doctors to coming to seek medical treatment, and everything is a creation that makes people's fate impermanent.
No matter how accurate the deduction is, it can never be compared with the magic of fate. The scholar didn't know what would happen in the next moment.
But he was always prepared. The same goes for the cook, his personality is to cover the water and the earth, and the gods block the gods.
However, the two big men could never have imagined that the first thing that happened to the Nanban Secret Realm was not a dangerous thing. It's a maiden.
The girl was dressed in red, her eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful and moving, Ding Qiliang looked a little stunned, but suddenly came back to her senses.
The girl in red was poisoned. His lips were purple, and he was so weak that he fainted in the dense forest before heading to the Moon Cliff.
Countless thoughts flashed through the scholar's conspiracy theory brain, and a girl who was so touching but not a barbarian fell in front of him, he would think of many possibilities.
But in the end, seeing the girl's innocent and lovely face, it was difficult for him to compare it with those killers, and he glanced at the cook. The cook picked up the girl.
The two continued to walk towards the Moon Rock.
There are many encounters in history, and we are always amazed at the excessive coincidences, but the coincidences are also funny sometimes.
For example, Zhong Yunxiu. Years later, she would think about these things, always smiling and lamenting what a coincidence.
also met the people in the inn because of this coincidence, which changed her life.
