The heat is terrifying, and the scorching sun in May holds up an umbrella in the vast sky, frightening birds and beasts from daring to come forward. On the winding path, only one old and one young walked in this inaccessible remote place.

The old man's beard and hair were all white, and his clear figure looked more and more rickety under the scorching sun. But even if the sweat was raining, he just brushed his sleeves and gently wiped his forehead without leaving a trace, and then rubbed the small half bag of life-saving water left on his waist, and gently put it back on his waist. Then he turned to the boy and smiled kindly, signaling him not to be anxious.

"There are notoginseng, roses, gold and silver in the bag. All have the effect of quenching the heat and thirst, and the rose is the most tongue-in-cheek disease, you have two leaves by yourself. The old man looked at the young man who was like a young dog and said with a smile.

With a small amount of negative basket wrapped around the bag, he swallowed the last bite of tongue in his mouth, and his tongue was like a loach, falling into the desert Gobi Desert from the green mountains and green water outside the green poplar smoke. Shrugged over his mouth, he emitted a foul smell caused by lack of water.

The boy habitually touched his neck, found that there was nothing, and then complained all over the place.

"Master, let's go all the way from Shudi to this notorious three-way road, when you came, you said that you would take me to the mountains and rivers, and you also said that you would take me to hang the pot to help the world, and after you went through this experience, I can almost write a prescription. The young man seemed to open the conversation, and then said angrily: "But now you say that you didn't cheat me, even if you say that the sky is broken, I don't believe it." ”

For this master, who is still a young scholar and pretends to be a master in the world, dragging a pair of broken bones from Shu for thousands of miles, and getting here along the way, the young man is full of complaints. Before the master traveled, he boasted about going to Haikou, saying that he had traveled all over the world with him, and that he, the frog at the bottom of the well, who had only seen a few acres of fields in the head of the village and a few trees in front of the door, was a business that only made money and did not lose money.

On the way to travel, those rat-eyed ordinary people see his appearance of the fairy wind bones, and they will definitely serve him as an old immortal, if they are lucky enough to meet some dignitaries, even if they don't pull out a dime on weekdays, after he casually shows a hand of good rejuvenation, he must become kind and charitable, and then the master and apprentice will not chew a mouthful of pickles and a mouthful of tree roots to chew the skin of their mouths.

Oh, good guys. There was no one to see them along the way, and when they were out of Shu, they made a pair of cloth flags for night battles, and there were four mighty characters written on it, "The God of Medicine Goes Out of the Mountain". But before he left the village for fifty miles, and before he even passed the excitement, he was regarded by the indignant kind-hearted children as a swaggering doctor, and when an old man and a young man took shelter from the wind and rain in a dilapidated temple, he forcibly changed "the god of medicine out of the mountain" to "the demon god out of the mountain".

The next day, the boy walked for a long time without knowing it, not only did the business not improve, but even passers-by retreated, and pointed behind his back. In a rage, he threw the cloth flag on the ground, scolded, and threatened to go back and poison the group of little children who had no eyesight.

was so frightened that the old man even coaxed and deceived, and even moved out of the gentleman's trip in the "Analects" and persuaded him bitterly, so that he could stop the young man.

Later, after going out of Shu for 800 miles, the fortune did not improve, but in order to make a living, two poor families finally came to them to see a doctor, but the two families were so poor that they were a mess, and if they received half a copper child, the young people were afraid of losing their lives. Don't mention it, looking at the unkempt appearance of the master and apprentice, I didn't give a straight eye.

The master and apprentice only got in and out of the money bag along the way, and the few taels of trivial silver that had been stored for many days brought out from the house were given to the poor and sick families whose houses leaked and rained at night along the way.

Just before the three incense sticks, the master and apprentice only met a group of people who looked from afar and felt a little oil and water, but they didn't expect it to be a mountain bandit scoundrel, and the master and apprentice didn't have time to ask what disease and disaster as usual, the mountain bandit scoundrel who met in the mountains and forests looked at the master and apprentice who were in the tiger's mouth, and they couldn't wait to shout and shout to rob.

The technique is also extremely unkind, there is no self-report like a chivalrous man, and then say a lot of beautiful words as a foreshadowing, and the pomp and circumstance is like a fledgling chick. Even so, it can't stand up to the robbery doorway, and it is indeed perfect.

appeared on the stage, the knife holder neck, and said neatly: "Do you want money or death?"

The young man, who was full of enthusiasm and justice, also panicked at the moment and became timid. Knowingly, he looked at the master who was too shy to be shy in his bag, and tightly hugged the medicine box and medicine bag and asked cautiously, "Do you want money or life?"

The master was just about to use what he had seen and heard all his life to say that "a strong man can do everything when he goes out and behaves in the world", so that he can teach this simple disciple who has never traveled far a good lesson in human affairs and sophistication.

When the words came to his mouth, he had just said the word "good", and the person who stood the knife seemed to have been touched against the scales, and immediately the big knife fell a full two inches, and at the same time shouted: "There is no need to discuss." ”

The old gentleman looked at the knife edge that was a millimeter away from his neck and had to laugh, and before he could continue to speak, the young man was already frightened when he saw this, and stammered: "No... No money, to... Annoying. While respectfully pouring the items in the medicine box and medicine bag into the bamboo tube like beans at the feet of the bandits, for fear of annoying the heroes who fell into the grass, he forced himself to cry and spit out a few words: "Really... There is really no money, only medicine. ”

The bandits, who were very familiar with cleaning up the goods, quickly turned over the medicine boxes and medicine bags with their hands and feet, and did not take out a single copper, so they knew that today's trip was in vain.

I don't know if I was so angry that I robbed the herbs of the master and apprentice with the mentality of not going empty, saying that I was prepared during the plague. In the end, the disappointed knife bearer didn't know which tendon he had drawn, and said angrily: "Our family doesn't do business, what we want is a long-term repeat customer." I was relieved that I was close to returning from the village in vain this time, and then I looked at the scorching sun above my head, still indignant, and whispered to myself: "Only cross the goods, not kill people." Only oversell, don't kill..."

The evil mountain bandit casually glanced at the little doctor, who had turned pale with fright, and his gaze stopped at the little doctor's neck.

This little doctor, who had never experienced strong winds and waves, had never thought of doing the feat of killing a bully with one punch, but often fantasized about a dose of good medicine to save a person, and was overwhelmed by the terrifying knife-wielding stare.

In the end, the knife hand holding a pendant was so playful that he shouted: "Get out, don't leave if you want to die!" The master and apprentice were amnesty, but they were still frightened, and the young man hurriedly squatted down to sort out the medicine box and medicine bag.

To the surprise of the master and apprentice, a young man with a negative sword who had an incompatible temperament and had been silent among the bandits put the scattered herbs back into the medicine box and medicine bag in an orderly manner, and only took two percent from them. He respectfully returned it to the master and apprentice.

"Sir, offended. ”

"Shaoxia is polite, the medicine is to save people, as long as people can use it, it is not a waste. If the old and decayed broom is self-cherishing, how can the medicine be used to the fullest. It's just that the old man has a question, how far is Suping City from here?"

"It is fifty miles to the east, but the plague began to break out in Suping City a month ago, and the merchants could not do it this month, and the people of the city fled. Now it's almost a ghost town. It seems that the officials also want to use the time of the day to make a big break for the three departures of the black miasma, but they all choose to turn a blind eye and never send a single soldier to relieve the epidemic and save people. ”

"I am old and talented, and I am willing to do my best. ”

The boy traveled all the way, and he didn't have a day of peace, either rushing or collecting medicine, and he had to tinker with some medical skills and pharmacology along the way. How could there be such a chic and happy thing that Master began to promise. Now that his Kit Kat Shang Tong was wearing around his neck, he was robbed, and when he came back to his senses, he complained to the master, and talked all the way in fragments, chattering as if there was no end.

The old man stroked his beard, and the old gentleman, who had been a silverfish all his life, had been a silverfish all his life, and he was not angry at the vain's transgressions. No matter what happens, the kind old man, who is gentle and frugal, said calmly: "Isn't it just a kitschat thing that you bought at random in the Shudu Bazaar, and when you go back this time, Master will buy you a basket for you to wear." Now the people of Suping City are in dire straits, even if we can save them, there will be people who 'drown and burn to death', and we are here to save people, and we are also here to solve this invisible urgent need for the people of Shudi, and it is bound to keep the plague out of Shudi! Jiang'er, I brought you this time for the teacher, not because I was worried that there would be no successor for the teacher and doctor, you have learned everything you should learn, and you will also know what you should know. But in terms of the benevolence of doctors, teachers still have to set an example for you, so that there will be no successors after the doctor, and medical ethics will not be accepted. ”

The young man named Jiang Chengzi nodded as if he didn't understand. "Yes, Master. But in my heart, I still miss the things that Master gave me.

After walking more than 20 miles, a faintly towering city wall came into the eyes of the master and apprentice, the two eyebrows smiled, they drank the last half of the water bag in the water bag, and now the biggest expectation is to hurry into the city to find a place to shelter the sky and the sun, if there is a clear spring next to the treasure land is the best icing on the cake.

Big fish and big meat, hotbed brocade quilts, and the empty money bags have already smashed their minds.

When the master and apprentice gradually hid in the mountain stream with hundreds of steps and nine twists and turns, the young man with the sword in the bandit said thoughtfully: "The plague is rampant, and there are also falling grass bandits that can be seen everywhere in these three departing roads, hanging pots to help the world, entering the WTO to seek peace for the people, than those who drill into the book of sages with their brains, lifting the pen is 'benevolence', and the exit is 'righteousness', and the full stomach is all used to prevaricate the people but lying in the women's nest all day long, and the 'sages' who reason with their hands to the unclothed women are too many sages." ”

The illiterate knife hand felt big when he heard words like "benevolence" and "righteousness", but he had special respect for this second master who had an unknown origin three years ago, and echoed and said: "The second master, a cultural person." That's right!"

Then he looked at the few dispensable herbs, felt sorry for himself, and sighed: "Today's yellow calendar, it is not suitable to rob." ”

Then he used his innate ugly face to squeeze out a smile that was barely ugly. smiled at the young man with the sword and said: "The second master, I went out of the house under the scorching sun today, and I don't know whether the credit is or not, but the hard work is real, let's go back to the village to drink, according to the day, you should go to the house to ask for wine today." ”

The young man with the sword looked at the "Zhengrong" man who "didn't take three or five steps out of the painting hall, and went to the front of the painting hall with his forehead first", and said with a smile: "Wang Jingdao, of course you can ask for wine, but you are not allowed to pour me wine." ”

"Cut! I'm afraid you'll drink too much. Then Wang Jingdao sat on the horse, looking at the two percent of the herbs he had snatched today, and a slight smile leaked from his face.

"Take two percent of the goods, don't kill a person. "It's the rule set by our two masters, my Wang Jingdao, was the first to be unconvinced, but now he is the most convinced.

At dusk, the master and apprentice spent half a month on the road day and night, and now they finally arrived at the foot of Suping City, which people avoided, and the city gate was full of dried blood, so black that it made people's hearts palpitate.

The master and apprentice looked at the empty money bag, and were worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if they wanted to hang the pot to help the world, but they also had to comfort the five internal organs temple first, which is now an urgent matter.

Before they approached the city gate, a cry sounded in the ears of the master and apprentice.

"Master Bing, let me go out of the city, my family of seven, before the outbreak of the plague, five people died, there was a little daughter, but this morning also died, now I am the only one left, I have to leave a root." Please, let me go out of the city," said a sallow citizen, cloaked and almost insane, kneeling on the ground with a spiky fence and prostrating himself and pleading.

"What's the panic, Lord Pingzhou Thorn Shi has ordered all the famous doctors in Shu to rush to this city, you just need to wait for good news in the city, and someone will naturally come to save you at that time." One of the leading soldiers deliberately kept his distance from the man, and spoke to comfort the poor man.

"Half a month ago, most of the doctors in the city medicine hall were missing, and the doctors who stayed in the city were helpless against the plague. Nowadays, it is even more difficult to find a doctor who can see a doctor than to climb to the sky. Please, let me out of town. I just want to keep a root with my old Li family, so that I won't be cut off from my children and grandchildren. "After a long time of begging but still not being able to leave the city, the plague suddenly broke out and tried to fight for his life and rushed out of the city. The soldier with amazing strength threw the silver spear in his hand, and nailed the poor boy to the city wall, and the blood stains made the originally dry city wall wet again.

"Old man Lu, collect the corpse!" the leader of the soldiers who had been comforting the sick shouted loudly into the city, and at the same time added a stroke to the many horizontal lines on the side of the city wall.

"Four hundred and eighty-six!"

This corpse, whether it is infected with the plague or not, as long as it comes out of the city, it will make the guards of the city stay away, even if the quietest and most colorful Oiran in the city comes to give them a hug, these soldiers will not have the audacity to think about the slightest thing about rolling the quilt.

"Come on, soldier. "A thin old man over seventy years old, with bright eyebrows and hair, wore a coarse cloth garment crawling with traces of sewing and mending. Pushing a cart out of the city to collect the corpse, the silver spear was pulled out of the city wall with difficulty, and after a good cleaning, he trotted to a distance of five steps away from the soldier, and put down the silver spear respectfully, with a simple smile on his face. "Master Bing, take care of it for you. After greeting the soldier, he turned around and pushed the cart into the city.

A series of movements are mastered, and they are even more comfortable than a young man with a sturdy posture. Only when you see the back of the old man who tried his best to make the wooden cart carrying the corpse slowly enter the city, can you really be sure that this man with a white head of snow is really old.

Even the guards of the city, who were five steps away from the old man, did not notice that the old man had already burst into tears when he turned around to push the cart.

"Lao Li, the second dog comes down, don't blame him, you used to nag in my ear every day for a non-stop nest son, for the incense of your Lao Li family, now you are hard!"

As the sun set, the evening breeze had just stolen a trace of coolness from the heat, and it landed inside and outside Suping City without hesitation.

An old man and a young man standing not far from the city saw this shocking scene, and a chill arose. The young man was stunned, and after the old man was silent for a long time, he turned around and gently touched the young man's head, and the young man clutched the old man's shirt tightly. With red eyes, he said to Master, "Master, let's go back, let's really go back." They killed, they really killed, more lightly than the mountain bandits. This young man, who has been following his master to collect medicine and study medicine since he was a child, suddenly found that when the master saved a person, he needed to work hard to find medicine and prescribe medicine, and these people could kill one person so easily, and he cried completely.

"Master, no matter how much pickles I eat in the future, I won't complain about chewing more roots. Let's be a good doctor on our own one-third of an acre of land, and be a good doctor. ”

The old man, who has been practicing medicine for many years, saw the stubborn young man who cried unusually, and knew in his heart that the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him had nothing to do with the world.

This time, I'm really scared.

"What no one does, someone will do it, and no one in the world will do it, and it's not a reason why we don't do it!"

Suddenly, from the great city gate, a horse opened the way, followed by several chariots and horses with a yoke of flying eagles, and a capable man covered in armor, carrying a spear, holding a reined horse in his left hand and a token in his right hand. shouted loudly: "In the autumn of the critical survival of Suping City, the eldest prince went out of the city to seek medical treatment to save the city, and all the idle people avoided it. ”
