Chapter 10: A Bowl of Herbal Soup

A good one, that's all. I looked at Dr. Lowe's wrinkled face, and the wrinkles on his forehead were particularly deep, like an insurmountable chasm.

"Listen to Luo Min, you are a famous doctor in the city."

Doctor Luo sighed, as if remembering the original thing, and slowly said: "No matter how famous a doctor is, he is also a doctor, if the doctor does not save people, or cannot save enough people, no matter how famous he is, it is just nothing." ”

"I want everyone in the village to know that you saved them." I looked at him firmly and said righteously.

Dr. Lowe frowned again and shook his head. I know what he wants to say, he doesn't need others to be grateful to him, but this life without conflict with the world makes him more relaxed and relaxed. I understand him, but I still can't stop the strong desire in my heart to want Zhaoxue him, not so much that I want to save Dr. Luo, but that I want to save this respect that I deserve.

I started running to the homes of people who were sick, treating them with the little fur Dr. Lowe had taught me, and then grabbing their medicine. I know the villagers might not believe it easily if I say it directly, but if I do cure them, what I say will be somewhat convincing.

Soon after, the villagers became enthusiastic about me, and although I stayed at Dr. Luo's house and learned my medical skills from him, I was a foreigner after all, and had nothing to do with the plague that had happened before. The villagers began to greet me to their homes for dinner, and every time they saw me walking with Dr. Luo, they would greet me warmly. Seeing Dr. Luo, he would also smile and nod his head, not like before.

I was happy for what I was doing and seemed to be more active in front of Dr. Lowe because I felt like I had done a good thing for him after all. But Dr. Lowe never mentioned the impact it had on him, and he never said thank you or anything like that, but he still didn't say anything good to me.

The old captain knew what I was doing, and he once said to me that he actually liked this little mountain village too, although there were not many people, but the scenery was beautiful, quiet and peaceful. I knew that he understood that I was reporting the favor of Dr. Luo, and he didn't want to bother me or put pressure on me, so he never mentioned leaving from the time I went door-to-door to deliver herbal soup to the villagers.

I always felt at home with them, whether it was the old captain or Dr. Lowe. This freedom comes from an indescribable sense of security, allowing all the cells in my body to play or relax freely.

I thought about Cher's face again, and I thought that if the Luke siblings were here, we might learn medicine with Dr. Lowe together, rush to collect medicine, play around together in the mountains, and then sit here together at night to watch the moonlight. But now it's just me, yes, and Dr. Lowe. I smiled and took a sip of the herbal soup next to me, it was still as bitter as ever, but it didn't seem to be as bad as before.

In the following days, I continued to deliver medicine and see doctors for the villagers, and everyone was always very enthusiastic about me. But their relationship with Dr. Luo seems to have reached a bottleneck, and there is no progress from being strangers to nodding and smiling. I sighed and looked at Dr. Luo, who was sitting there frowning and reading, and a sense of frustration arose in my heart. Although Dr. Lowe didn't care what their attitude was towards him, I wanted him to know that there was someone who wanted him to be better.

I don't want to fail. I began to tell them something about the plague, telling them that the villagers had gone to Dr. Luo first, and he had come back to treat the villagers. Dr. Kou Luo is a well-known doctor in the city, and he chose to return to this warm and quiet mountain village because he didn't want to live in a deceitful environment. Every time I said this, the villagers just smiled wryly and nodded. They didn't seem to believe me, and they were embarrassed to refute, they knew that I was on the same side as Dr. Lowe.

I had no choice but to ask the sick villagers to go to Dr. Luo's house to see a doctor, but everyone shook their heads and refused.

Thinking about it, it is actually understandable, there are not many households in the village, and most of the diseases are minor diseases such as typhoid fever and cold.

It was another moonlit night, and Dr. Lowe and I sat next to the house and watched the moonlight together, as if under my influence, he spent less and less time reading at night, but more and more time watching the moon with me.

"Maybe I can't get everyone to trust you anymore." I thought about it for a long time and finally spit it out, and then sighed softly.

"It's okay, I know you did your best." Dr. Luo said solemnly: "But I also said that physical illness is easy to treat, but heart disease is difficult to treat. ”

"Uncle Luo, sooner or later, someone in the township will get seriously ill, and when you cure more seriously ill patients, the relationship between everyone and you will definitely improve."

"Maybe." Dr. Lowe smiled softly, his eyes still fixed on the moon.

"Don't you hate the villagers for treating you like this?" I asked him.

"Hate? It's a little less, and it's more pitiful. When we know more, we always resent that others know too little. But there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside the sky, and for those people, we are just frogs at the bottom of the well, so why bother to resent others. ”

I looked into Dr. Lowe's eyes, the thick lenses shattering the bright moonlight into splinters into his deep, gray pupils.

I understand what he means, just compare humans with animals, how can humans resent them because of their stupidity, it's more pitiful. The fog once again covered the small mountain village, and apart from the occasional birdsong and the chirping of insects from the distant mountains, it was so quiet that I could clearly hear Dr. Lo's breathing.
