Chapter 243: Adventure
Seeing that there were only two of them present, Wang Gang sighed and told Chen Xu the beginning and end of this set of medical skills he had learned.
It turned out that Wang Gang's hometown lived in the Qingjiang Mountains, in a mountain village under one of the peaks.
Due to the blockage of traffic in the past, he has lived a life of seclusion since he was a child.
The population of their village is not very large, probably just over a hundred people. The people in the mountains have no other source of income, and basically rely on collecting medicines.
Due to this special geographical relationship, as well as the family composition, Wang Gang has been very familiar with various Chinese medicinal materials since he was a child. Over time, I have learned a little about the characteristics and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, and I am an introductory Chinese medicine.
Slowly, he fell in love with Chinese medicine. Coincidentally, although there are not many people in their village, there happens to be such a Chinese medicine doctor.
Since the village is not very large, it is said that the people in this village have the same surname. According to the old man, the people in their village all fled to this place in ancient times.
The Chinese medicine doctor in the village, according to his seniority, is Wang Gang's third uncle. In addition, Wang Gang has been interested in traditional Chinese medicine since he was a child, so he simply worshipped his third uncle as a teacher and followed him to learn traditional Chinese medicine.
Wang Gang's third uncle saw that Wang Gang was talented and intelligent, and he was diligent and studious, and he also liked Wang Gang very much, and passed on all his medical skills to Wang Gang.
After several years of study, Wang Gang's medical skills have made rapid progress. Soon he will be able to take charge on his own, and if there is any headache and brain fever in the village, Wang Gang can easily solve it according to the medical skills he has learned, and even solved a patient in a more critical condition.
That year, Wang Gang was just nine years old.
In this way, Wang Gang followed his third uncle and practiced medicine and saved people in several surrounding mountain villages.
One day, there was an old man in the Lijia village next door who suddenly fell ill. His son hurried to their village and asked Wang Gang's third uncle to treat him.
Hearing that there was a critical patient, Wang Gang's third uncle did not dare to delay, picked up the medicine box, and rushed to Lijia Village next door with Wang Gang to treat the old man.
It is said that it is the next village, but it is not actually two adjacent villages. Anyone who lives in the mountains knows that the layout of the mountains is different from that of the plains, and the distance between each village is quite far.
Although it is only the next village, there is a whole mountain in the middle. Even if there are mountain roads left by old people in the past, it is still difficult to walk.
Unfortunately, when they reached the top of the mountain and were about to cross the peak, it suddenly started to rain.
Since the mountains were bare, and there was no shelter from the wind and rain, several people saw that they were not far from Lijia Village, so they braved the rain to move forward.
It didn't take long to go, because of the rain, the mountain road was relatively slippery, and Wang Gang just lost his footing and rolled to the bottom of the cliff.
It was also time for Wang Gang's life, although he fell from such a high cliff, but he landed on the thick branches and leaves.
After the buffer of the branches and leaves, although Wang Gang was also hit lightly, there was no big problem after all.
When Wang Gang straightened his body, he didn't have time to take a look at his surroundings.
This is a naturally formed mountain cresm, and since it is so well hidden, ordinary people will not find this place at all.
Since he was a child, Wang Gang has often followed his father up the mountain to collect medicine, and as far as his mountain peak is concerned, he can basically remember what is in any place, even the location of a certain tree. But it was this crack that he never knew.
It is strange to say that when Wang Gang fell, it was raining heavily outside. And there is not the slightest trace of rain in this crack. Everywhere was dry.
The crack is not large, only the size of a few houses, and although it is still daylight, the visibility in the whole crack is relatively low due to the rain.
It took a while to get used to the old age, and Wang Gang's eyes got used to the darkness. Slowly, I was able to see the general outline of the crack.
He saw a cave not far ahead.
Thinking that he couldn't get out for the time being, he simply decided to go to the cave to rest.
The first is to prevent the rainstorm from falling suddenly, and the second is to prevent the wild beasts from disturbing.
After entering the cave, Wang Gang found that the area of the cave was quite large.
At that time, the weather was close to late autumn, and his clothes were soaked by the torrential rain, so Wang Gang only felt cold at this time.
Out of the cave, Wang Gang searched for some, slightly dry dead branches and collected them, ran into the cave, and found some leaves. Use a lighter to light the firewood.
The entire cave was soon lit up by a bonfire, and Wang Gang had the opportunity to look at the layout of the cave.
Although it is a primitive cave, Wang Gang found some artificial traces.
The cave is very deep, and Wang Gang's current location is only at the entrance of the cave. Out of curiosity, Wang Gang took out a piece of wood from the campfire, used it as a torch, and went to the cave.
After walking for a while, Wang Gang suddenly tripped over something under his feet, fell to the ground at once, and the torch he was holding in his hand was also extinguished.
I thought I had tripped over some stone, so I fumbled and picked up the stick, and used a lighter to set the wood on fire with difficulty.
The cave, which had been pitch black, was illuminated again.
Wang Gang couldn't help but glance at it, tripping over his things.
It didn't matter if it looked at it, but Wang Gang was frightened, and he saw a corpse lying on the ground.
Although Wang Gang has been studying Chinese medicine for some years, after all, he is still a nine-year-old child, how has he ever seen this kind of formation.
It was not human curiosity, but it quickly overcame fear, and Wang just began to look at the corpse on the ground.
Due to the special climate on the mountain, the corpse did not decompose, but turned into a dried corpse. Look at the corpse is wearing a costume, like the clothes of the previous dynasty, and there is a long braid on the head of the dried corpse.
Wang Gang suddenly thought that if there was any treasure on this ancient man, then he would be rich.
Thinking of this, Wang Gang began to look around. Soon a wooden box was found in the place where the dried corpses were plentiful. This wooden box is basically the same as the medicine box they are carrying
Wang Gang guessed that this might be an ancient doctor, and he might have also fallen here and died here for lack of food.
He couldn't help but open the medicine box, and he found that there were a lot of bottles and cans inside, as well as a few books.
