Chapter 143: Traveling Doctor (Rewarding Changes)
(Thanks for the tip!) οΌ
It has been a day since they left Guquan Town, and the road under the feet of the two has gradually changed from wide to narrow, and from a neat loess road to an overgrown path.
Looking at the pristine scenery on both sides of the road, Pang Shiyuan knew that this was the normal social form of the dream world - the land was vast and sparsely populated.
They had been walking in the mountains and forests for a long time, and it was almost noon, and not only did they not see the countryside, but they could not even see a single person.
And this is still on the road to Geumseong, the big city of Wonju waterway hub.
This road is still full of people coming and going, otherwise the road under their feet is not overgrown with weeds, but directly covered with grass and trees.
In fact, Pang Shiyuan also knew that the reason why the road was so desolate and primitive was also because Guquan Town was too remote. When it comes to the radius of larger towns, the situation is better.
The original scenery is very beautiful, but if you see too much, you will also be aesthetically tired, Pang Shiyuan and Pang Jianxiang are a little bored, sitting on the horse drowsy and following the horse to bump forward.
Inadvertently opened his eyes, Pang Shiyuan suddenly found a few wisps of black smoke floating in front of him, and his spirit suddenly lifted.
If there is smoke, it means that there are people.
And a few wisps of black smoke indicate that there are people living there, maybe it is a village.
"Incense, wake up, there seems to be a village ahead."
As soon as Pang Shiyuan shouted, Pang Jianxiang woke up immediately, and then shouted: "There is a village? Great, Brother Shi Yuan, quickly take out the signboard and hang it up. β
Signboard?
That's right, it's the sign of the traveling doctor.
When she went out this time, Pang Jianxiang also brought a traveling doctor signboard that she made by herself, ready to practice medicine.
Pang Shiyuan also felt that it was a good idea to practice medicine while walking the rivers and lakes. He had just learned his new medical skills, and he needed someone to test his skills.
Pang Shiyuan quickly took out a long strip of cloth from his blanket, stretched it out, and saw that it was written "Wonderful Hand Rejuvenation" on one side and "Benevolence and benevolence" on the other.
If you look closely, you will also find that these eight words are not written, but embroidered by someone.
Look at the stitches, the embroidery skills of this embroiderer are not bad.
Pang Shiyuan asked Pang Jianxiang who embroidered it and whether it was her mother.
Pang Jianxiang was a little twisted at first, and a little embarrassed to answer. In the end, she was repeatedly questioned by Pang Shiyuan, and finally said that she embroidered it when she was fine.
It turned out that Pang Jianxiang was not interested in learning martial arts, but he had a soft spot for traveling doctors.
Maybe it's all because she has been practicing medicine with her parents everywhere since she was a child, and it is the result of subtlety.
She had long imagined that one day she would be able to travel the world and heal the sick like her father Pang Xiangguo. It's just that her parents didn't worry about her going out alone, so she could only embroider the doctor's signboard by herself and live a good life.
This time she was finally allowed to come out, so she brought out the traveling doctor signboard.
But she didn't want to camp last night, she just took out the sign of the traveling doctor and wanted to imagine the days of the traveling doctor, but she was snatched away by Pang Shiyuan.
She wanted to snatch it back, but she was afraid that the signboard would be damaged, and as a result, the signboard fell into Pang Shiyuan's hands.
Pang Shiyuan took out two bamboo poles of about one meter and an iron piece from the bag hanging on the horse and began to assemble them, which were soon connected into a two-meter-long wooden pole.
These bamboo poles and iron parts are parts of the mobile tent that Pang Shiyuan asked the blacksmiths of Longshou Village to build.
Then, he tied the traveling doctor's signboard to the top of the long wooden pipe, and then showed it in the wind, and the complete traveling doctor's signboard was completed.
Looking at the eight words of rejuvenation and benevolence on the signboard, both of them were excited and nervous.
Pang Xiangxiang is because this will be her first time practicing medicine independently, and Pang Shiyuan does not have much confidence in his own medical skills.
But life is about becoming strong in the first attempt, and both of them are looking forward to it.
At this time, Pang Shiyuan thought of a question: "Xiangxiang, if there is really a patient, how much consultation fee are you going to charge?" β
Pang Jianxiang has obviously thought about this question for a long time: "No consultation fee." Anyway, I just pay for their medical treatment, and I don't administer medicine. What is the purpose of the admission fee? β
"As I expected."
Pang Shiyuan knew that the naΓ―ve and pure-hearted Pang Jianxiang would do this, but he didn't agree with it, so he said: "Xiangxiang, I know you have good intentions, but I don't think it's right for you to do this." β
"What's wrong?" Pang Jianxiang didn't understand very much, was it wrong for her to help others with good intentions?
Pang Shiyuan said: "Of course not. Let me ask you, in this world, are there more people who help people for free, or are there more people who pay to serve others? β
"Of course, there are many people who pay to serve people." Pang Jianxiang is naturally authentic.
Pang Shiyuan asked again: "So, do you think there are more doctors who help people see a doctor for free, or more doctors who pay for a fee?" β
"There must be more doctors who pay to see a doctor. Brother Shi Yuan, why are you asking this? What does this have to do with whether I charge or not? Pang Jianxiang didn't understand.
Pang Shiyuan said: "Of course it has a relationship, and it has a great relationship. Don't worry, I'll explain it to you later. Let me ask you again, if there is really a small village in front of you, do you think that in a year in a small village like this in the middle of now, how many doctors will pass by there? β
"It's nice to have one or two all year round." Pang Jianxiang followed Pang Xiangguo to travel to the world of doctors, and naturally knew the rules of the activities of traveling doctors and doctors.
In a small village like this, there is no money to borrow at all, and few traveling doctors and doctors will waste their time in these small places.
Unless they are passing through, traveling doctors and doctors generally prefer to stay in and around towns. In that kind of place, people are generally wealthier.
At this time, Pang Jianxiang had vaguely understood what Pang Shiyuan meant.
Pang Shiyuan continued: "One or two, very good. Do you think that these two doctors who came to this small village to see a doctor came to the village to treat diseases and save people, or to make money? β
Pang Jianxiang's voice was much lower: "To make money." β
"That's right. You see, doctors pass through here just to make money. If there was no money to be made, they would not have come to such a small and remote place at all. Today, you are seeing a doctor for free in this small village. Then if a doctor comes over in the future, the villagers here may think that the doctor should also provide free medical treatment. Do you think there are any doctors who will want to pass through here in the future? Pang Shiyuan finally said his reason.
His reason is the same as when Confucius taught Zigong that he had to charge a fee to help people.
If there are benefits, more people will do good deeds.
Pang Jianxiang also knew in her heart that Pang Shiyuan was right, but she still felt that Pang Shiyuan was making a fuss: "I only have free clinics occasionally, and those villagers should also understand that it is impossible for everyone to be the same as me." In the future, if a doctor passes by, they will definitely still pay for the doctor. β
"That's right. But I still think that you should charge a fee, and the standard of charging should be according to the standard of a traveling doctor. Don't be kind and small! Pang Shiyuan was pure and seductive, and misinterpreted the words of the wise saying "Don't take evil as a small thing".
