Any outsider or city dweller who has been wandering around Xuanhua City for a few years knows that they can walk to the most inconspicuous Niuyi Lane in the northwest corner of Xuanhua City, and then walk southward past two dilapidated and dilapidated shops that are still surviving, and pass through several long-established shops. When one goes to an empty old house, one can see an old dog with a yellowish tail tip and a black body mixed with white, nesting in front of a shop door. Most of the shop door is half closed all year round. The old dog needs to be given some food first. The old dog, whose fur was thinning day by day and had turned white on his forehead, stood up reluctantly and scratched the door with his front paws, and then someone opened the door to welcome guests.
Although the corner of the land is extremely remote, the medicinal materials in this shop are extremely complete, ranging from swords, guns and sticks to bruises, or life-threatening old ginseng, to Xiaoer crying about the cold at night, bumping sprained feet, medicinal materials and prescriptions. It's top quality.
The shopkeeper of the medicine shop is extremely old, and he never wears a bun, and his gray hair is disheveled all year round. He does not look like a skilled doctor at all, but he looks like an idle old man living in the mountains and forests, drinking dew and eating wind. However, he smells of medicinal materials all over his body. However, it is extremely rich. It is probably because of the medicinal herbs that surround him all year round. Therefore, the aroma of medicinal herbs that have been smoked over the years has slightly given this old man with an eccentric temperament and fierce words a slightly quaint air. But when everyone comes to the door to seek medicine and prescriptions, they are more or less sarcastic and scolded by the old shopkeeper. It turns out that Xuanhua City is rich, and most of them are slacking off on self-cultivation. Many young people have not yet arrived. Most of them have already exhausted their bodies due to drinking and sex, and in the eyes of old shopkeepers who have been practicing medicine for generations, of course they will not be able to avoid being ridiculed. What's more, they are very good at talking and often scolding others until they are speechless and blushing. Dare to offend this old doctor.
Not to mention that there are also a lot of martial arts practitioners in Xuanhua City. There are many rough guys who practice foreign martial arts or study the powerful sword and spear techniques. Whether they are competing with others or practicing martial arts, it is already the season. It was normal for him to be in the martial arts world, and he had never been seriously injured several times, but every time he came to this medicine shop, he couldn't bear the harsh and harsh words of this old doctor. Many of the neighbors who are familiar with the old doctor in Niuyi Lane are already familiar with it. Every now and then, they can see a few rough men with knives on their backs, walking into the medicine shop nervously, and they are exhausted after a while. He may leave with his head hanging down or his face full of anger.
Many people guessed that this old doctor had seen so many people in the martial arts world. He probably pointed out all the bad points in other people's moves in just a few words. Excellent boxing and kicking skills will inevitably hurt oneself, or the shoulder socket will be uncomfortable for three or two days, or the muscles and bones will often have a dull pain, and they are always uneasy. As for the number of swords, guns, weapons, and weapons, there is not much difference from the former, and the same is true for a long time. It is a certainty that long-term injuries will lead to loss. Relying on the skill of the old doctor, it is not difficult to see the shortcomings in the rules that damage one's body.
Therefore, whether it was the warriors who came to visit to treat injuries or the people in the city who came to seek medical treatment and take care of their health, they secretly gave Dr. Sun the nickname "Ghost Seeing Worry". They were respectful on the face, but quite respectful behind the scenes. I resented Dr. Sun's talk of everything, but he just suffered from the fact that the medicinal materials in this shop were of really good quality, and secondly, Dr. Sun's medical skills were really the best in the city.
In the past two years, Doctor Sun had accepted an apprentice, but contrary to what others expected, this apprentice who rarely made Doctor Sun smile was actually only in his late teens. Perhaps children of the same age were still playing in the middle of the street. I don’t know where this person lived. The children here are already vaguely self-conscious. At most every day, they will walk out of the shop, put a strange and ancient bamboo slip on their knees, and read it word by word, which is very irritating, but they don't know that because of this obvious He is still young and has a mature face, which attracts many people around him to come and offer some food.
It rained heavily today, but the child still woke up early. Wearing a raincoat that was taller than his head, he stumbled out of the shop. However, he did not take out the bamboo slips and had no intention of enjoying the rain. Instead, he braved the rain. Yusi took off her raincoat with great effort and put it on the old dog outside the door. She quickly walked to an abandoned pavilion in front of the door, watched the old dog shake off the rainwater all over its body, and huddled under the raincoat. The smile on his face grew.
A young man came in the rain, and he was obviously holding an umbrella. But looking from a distance, the child looked through the rain curtain and felt that the young man was not holding an ordinary umbrella, but holding a sword in his hand, walking step by step.
"Little Bronze Ball, was your master here?"
The young man walked forward, wearing a black shirt that had not been wet by the rain. He looked at the child with a smile, and the old dog who was sleeping again under the raincoat, bared his teeth and rubbed the child's temples.
The child is from outside the city of Xuanhua, just like those children who go to shops, restaurants or other trades as apprentices since childhood. Either their parents died young, or their family is too poor, but the child belongs to the latter, obviously. I went to learn Dr. Sun's skills, but Dr. Sun, who had always been eccentric, would give the child's parents a lot of money every month. The reason was that the child's talent was hard to find in generations, and teaching him by myself would be a waste of time. I feel guilty about my future. It is so easy to get a child in a remote country. According to the rules, of course you have to give a nickname so that you can make a living and prevent the boy from dying young. So he was given the nickname Wang Tongqiu. The child's complexion and facial features are straight and tight. However, in the past two years, I went with my master to collect medicinal herbs from streams in the mountains. The wind and sun had soaked some of the underlying color of my tender skin, but it became more and more like the name of the breast, like a copper ball.
Children are born with a stable temperament, but they cannot hear the word "little copper ball". This is probably because they have been teased by children in the city. When they heard this, their faces wrinkled, but they also remembered what their master said to them. However, this young hero surnamed Yun was extremely capable. In all these years, he had never encountered a junior who had practiced such exquisite internal martial arts. He threw the clod of earth aside angrily and rolled his eyes angrily.
"Master was thinking yesterday that it was probably time for Shaoxia Yun to come to pick up the hangover decoction. Today, he was supposed to go into the mountains to pick up the medicine, but he was delayed because he was waiting for others. Instead, he accidentally avoided the heavy rain, so he Unlike you, you’re angry.”
The young man bowed and clasped his fists seriously, still smiling, "Then I have to thank the young doctor. If I succeed in my studies, I will come to the door in person and ask for a way to open the door."
It was obvious that the child was very helpful, but he still pretended to be unfazed and politely returned the gift. However, when he caught a glimpse of the teasing and cunning look in the young man's eyes, he immediately became very bored. Just as he was about to go back to the shop in the rain, there was so much weight on his shoulders. An umbrella.
"It's two steps away. I'm an idler. Even if I get caught in the rain and wind and cold, I won't delay anything. But don't let your little copper ball get caught in the rain. In the end, it will delay your study of medicine. That will be a sin."
The child was startled. He was about to say a few nice words, but he saw the young man talking about the little copper ball several times with bad intentions. He immediately lost the thought of thanking him and was very bored. "Shop Manager Sun, has your business been doing well recently?"
The young man seemed to be very familiar with the shopkeeper. When he walked into the house, he happened to see an old man with disheveled hair rummaging through the medicine cabinet. The medicinal herb was spread all over the ground, and a nest of tiger's chest and achyranthes were in disorder. In the house, the young man was stunned, almost thinking that the medicine shop had been robbed, but finally he saw that Dr. Sun was so busy that he wanted to turn over the entire medicine cabinet.
"When did you, Yun Zhong, know anything about business?" After all, you have been a doctor for many years. The smell of medicinal herbs in the house was so pungent that even the young man hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, but the gray-haired old man behaved like a doctor. As usual, he still cursed, "I have only been in Xuanhua City for a few months, and I am getting more and more sobering decoctions. If this continues, even the Neijiaquan passed down by the gods to activate the muscles and bones and strengthen the body may not be able to save you, kid. Liver and gallbladder, at a young age, don’t learn well.”
Hearing this, the young man grinned and simply sat down on the old man's usual chair, shaking his head.
"This kid doesn't agree with this. He has seen many injustices and slanderous tricks in the world, but he is helpless because his skills are not that high, so he can't relieve himself, so he has no choice but to fall asleep and be confused even when he is awake."
Seeing that the old man had no intention of paying any attention to him, the young man suddenly felt bored, so he sat up straight and looked at the old man's back.
"I guess the shopkeeper was rummaging through the cabinets in search of rare medicines that are not considered medicines at all."
"The name of the medicine is Tinglancao. It cannot cure diseases. It is just a toy. Therefore, even if there is one in the drug store, it is considered to be at the bottom of the box. Your old nose was so good that you could smell that I was beating myself up." How can people who come down from Yunchuan work so hard to find medicinal materials?"
The old man didn't seem to listen to the young man's words. He just rummaged for a while before taking out a green herb. He frowned slightly and then looked at the young man.
"The dirty tricks have long been familiar. The old man only saves people and treats illnesses, but he never cares about all the things in the world. Then again, who can take care of it, and who is so capable."
"They are two different things. Besides, if you can't control it, you can only think of it as your own incompetence. If you can control it, try it anyway." The young man answered in confusion, "The man in black is gone." , it’s actually pretty good, but I still want to try to see if the way the guy in red is walking works.”
"The worst thing is to let people choose the path they want to take. If everything is about seeking advantages and avoiding disasters, and taking the path that others think is most suitable and comfortable, wouldn't it be too boring? What's the point? To put it bluntly, even if you hit the south wall head-on, it is better than following other people's wishes and walking steadily without ups and downs. We really want everyone to follow the path pointed by their parents and seniors, just like the rainbow after the rain. Like Isshiki, no one is like me.”
"So no matter who I offend or step on someone's family, I plan to give it a try."
It was clearly out of the clouds, and the words he heard had nothing to do with the old man's words. After the young man finished speaking, the old man sighed deeply, put the orchid on the table, and started packing the medicine cabinet.
Without looking at the young man at this time, there was a flash of green light all over his body.
