Chapter 53: Regret Medicine
"Do you remember that Zhang Youji once refined a regret medicine?" Bai Xiaosheng said to Ning Xiao mysteriously.
Speaking of regret medicine, Li Linxi also became a little interested. The past of Zhige Town, Li Linxi has heard Ning Xiao mention it more than once, and naturally he has heard Ning Xiao talk about Zhang Youji's regret medicine, but he still doesn't know a little about it.
"Of course I remember! The medicine primer for the regret medicine was specially dug up by me in the peach forest in the east of the town!" Speaking of this section, Ning smiled and said proudly, "When I left the town at the beginning of this year, I also borrowed one from Uncle Zhang Youji to play with!"
Ning Xiao's words reminded Bai Xiaosheng of the plate of pastries he had borrowed from Ning Xiao, and when he saw Ning Xiao's proud appearance, he couldn't help but knock on Ning Xiao's head.
Ning Xiao's head hurt, and he also knew that he was a little carried away, so he quickly restrained his description and sat in his seat seriously.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Li Linxi couldn't help but laugh on the side, and at the same time was a little envious of the relationship between the two, it seemed that it was neither big nor small, but it was much more comfortable than being false and wrongful to each other..."Huh? Why do you have such feelings?" Li Linxi remained silent, but muttered a little in his heart about the thoughts that flashed in his mind.
"You kid won't have eaten it, will you?" After Bai Xiaosheng finished using his finger magic power, he realized what Ning Xiao said, and hurriedly asked.
"No, I don't have any regrets, why do I take regret medicine, what a pity, what a waste!" Ning Xiao hurriedly replied, and at the same time glanced at Bai Xiaosheng with disdain, as if he was disgusted with Bai Xiaosheng for not even thinking about such a simple truth.
Bai Xiaosheng was full of black lines, and he was about to knock on Ning Xiao's head again, Ning Xiao raised his hands in surrender, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth! Uncle, you are a cultural person, just tell me about anything, spare my brain!"
Li Linxi didn't hold back at this moment, and finally laughed out loud.
"If it's not serious, I won't talk about it!" Hearing Li Linxi's laughter, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't hold his face a little, and pretended to threaten, "Regret medicine! What do you think regret medicine is?"
"It's just that after eating, you can have the opportunity to do the things you regret again, so that you don't regret it!" This time Ning Xiao gave the answer in a decent manner.
"Miss Li thinks so too?" Probably feeling that Li Linxi was being snubbed, Bai Xiaosheng began to deliberately let the girl join the topic of himself and Ning Xiao.
Li Linxi frowned, "At first, I thought that taking regret medicine would give me a chance to make up for the mistakes I had done, but when my predecessor said this, there seemed to be something wrong?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded, "It's still Miss Li who is smart, much better than this lazy boy!"
"Oh, uncle~ regret medicine can't make you not regret it, so what else can you do?" Ning Xiao was a little puzzled.
"Hmph," Bai Xiaosheng snorted coldly, "Regret medicine, if you take it, you will never regret what you have done!" Bai Xiaosheng's words, at first glance, seemed to be no different from Ning Xiao's answer. But after listening carefully, its content made Ning Xiao frown. "If you eat it, you will never regret what you have done??"
In the process of Bai Xiaosheng nodding, Ning Xiao continued to ask with some excitement: "Even if you make an unintentional mistake and accidentally kill a good person, you will never regret it or feel guilty again after taking regret medicine?"
"Ning Xiao, you calm down first, and listen to the seniors say slowly!" Li Linxi saw that Ning Xiao was a little excited, and hurriedly comforted him.
"The stinky boy's wings are stiff, dare to yell at me, huh?" Bai Xiaosheng didn't care, but took the initiative to laugh with Ning Xiao. Without waiting for Ning Xiao to answer, Bai Xiaosheng continued: "Anyway, it's good that you didn't eat it." Not long after you left, Zhang Youji couldn't wait to take the regret medicine, and the whole person changed →_→"
Bai Xiaosheng often tells some stories about the rivers and lakes in front of the homeless children, and his eloquence is naturally excellent. It's just that as the teenagers in Zhige Town gradually grew up, especially Ning Xiao and Su Po left Zhige Town one after another, one after another wandered the rivers and lakes and learned the arts, the young men in Zhige Town all walked out of this town, and the north and south of the river broke through, so that Bai Xiaosheng had no chance to show his eloquence for a long time! So under the attentive listening of Ning Xiao and Li Linxi, Bai Xiaosheng seized the opportunity to tell the story of Zhang Youji.
Zhang Youji's family lives in the Butterfly Valley in the territory of the Qinglong Gang in Jiangbei, although it is located in the northern Xinjiang, but the climate is pleasant. In the Butterfly Valley, only Zhang Youji and his sister Zhang Wuji depend on each other. Zhang Youji learned ancestral martial arts and medical skills, and often treated the people around him for free, and was widely loved. That year, the Green Dragon Gang had just been established, and it had several bloody battles with the White Tiger Gate. One day, Zhang Youji traveled and rescued a man in Tsing Yi covered in blood on the side of the road. After some diagnosis and treatment, the people in Tsing Yi picked up a life, but they insulted Zhang Wuji when Zhang Youji went out to seek medical treatment. Zhang Wuji was humiliated and committed suicide, but the man in Tsing Yi sat swaggering at the door of Zhang Youji's house, waiting for him to come back so that he would not let others know his whereabouts. However, what the people in Tsing Yi didn't expect was that Zhang Youji, who seemed to be powerless, was a rare master. When Zhang Youji saw his sister's corpse and rushed into anger, the momentum spread all over his body, and the people in Tsing Yi who were about to attack Zhang Youji were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. After the Tsing Yi man was about to be broken into thousands of pieces, Zhang Youji has been in regret. If he hadn't rescued the Tsing Yi people, then his sister would not have died; if he hadn't gone out to practice medicine and left his sister to take care of the Tsing Yi people alone, his sister would not have died; and even if he had shown his martial arts earlier, his sister would not have died under the fear of the Tsing Yi people......
Zhang Youji, who was tormented by boundless guilt, turned around and left, no longer nostalgic for this butterfly valley full of memories, wandering around like a walking corpse, and met Bai Xiaosheng, who had traveled. It happened that Bai Xiaosheng found a prescription called regret medicine, so Zhang Youji asked for it, wanting to have a chance to make up for his guilt. Bai Xiaosheng knew what the effect of this regret medicine was, but finally Zhang Youji had a new pursuit, and he couldn't bear to tell him if he was soft-hearted for a while. After many years, Zhang Youji finally collected all the medicinal materials needed for the regret medicine.
The silent refining was successful, swallowing it without thinking, when Bai Xiaosheng saw Zhang Youji who judged the two of them again, the middle-aged man in front of him who was gentle and elegant, full of compassion, made Bai Xiaosheng a little afraid to recognize him!
"After taking the regret medicine, I suddenly don't regret the things I have always regretted. The duty of a healer is to save the wounded, whether the person is a good person or a bad person, if he needs treatment, I will save him. I'm going to travel all over the continent and do everything I can to treat everyone I meet. After saying this to Bai Xiaosheng, Zhang Youji carried his bags and left Zhige Town.
Listening to Bai Xiaosheng finish telling Zhang Youji's story, Ning Xiao let out a long sigh of relief. Judging from the results, there is one less middle-aged man in the world who is haunted by the past, and one more doctor who is benevolent, which is a good result. But for some reason, Ning Xiao always felt a little unhappy.
Just like watching Shi Diyan leave, Ning Xiao and Li Linxi stood side by side, watching Bai Xiaosheng, whose desire to tell a story was greatly satisfied, humming an inaudible tune through the campus. The cold moon was silent, warming the entire courtyard. The north wind is slightly cool, brushing the tips of the forehead. I don't know when, snowflakes fell in the yard, fluttering in front of the two of them.
"Lin Xi, what do you say is a good person and what is a bad person?" Ning Xiao suddenly asked out loud.
"Idiot, why do you suddenly ask this?" Li Linxi was a little confused, so what was Ning Xiao crazy about?
"It's the bad guy who lies, right?" Ning Xiao asked Li Linxi tentatively.
"Of course! It's not right to deceive people!" Li Linxi said as a matter of course.
"But what about the lie that the doctor told the terminally ill patient that his illness could still be saved?" Ning Xiao continued to ask.
Li Linxi frowned slightly, "Such a lie is probably good, right?"
But the patient felt that he had been deceived and that he had played with his feelings. To patients, doctors are bad people, right?" Ning Xiao said again without thinking.
Li Linxi was a little speechless for a while, although he didn't know why Ning Xiao asked these questions, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed interesting.
"Good people and bad people should look at whether the results of this incident are good or bad for others, right? There is never a shortage of people in the world who do bad things with good intentions!" Ning Xiao said thoughtfully, "We people who practice martial arts are more powerful than ordinary people. Using these powers to bring a peaceful life to more people, is this the purpose of our martial arts?"
Li Linxi smiled happily, Ning Xiao thought of the purpose of practicing martial arts, which was an improvement in his state of mind. "It is said that in ancient times, the first martial artists were warriors of the tribe, responsible for guarding the tribe, defending against the attacks of powerful beasts, and bringing food to the old and weak in the tribe. The purpose of martial arts from the very beginning is to protect it!" Li Linxi's heart moved, and he said to Ning Xiao.
After listening to Li Linxi's words, Ning Xiao seemed to have an understanding in her heart. For a long time, most of my martial arts practice is motivated by interest, and I have never thought about why I want to practice martial arts. Today's encounter with Zhang Youji made Ning Xiao feel a new life, and Li Linxi slightly revealed the ancient anecdotes, which seemed to make Ning Xiao find the reason for his martial arts.
"Practicing martial arts, is it to protect it......" Ning Xiao reached out to catch the snowflake, watching it slowly melt, muttering in his mouth.
"Guardian friend...... Ning Xiao touched the jade pendant in his arms with his left hand, and there was a trace of warmth from the jade pendant.
"Guardian Faith...... Ning Xiao tightened the Qingping sword in the tent with his right hand, and the long sword trembled lightly like a hidden dragon groaning.
"Protect her...... Ning Xiao turned his head and looked at the beauties beside him, and it happened that Li Linxi also turned his head, and the two looked at each other, smiling, comfortable and full in their hearts.
