At the end of the east end of Bihai Village, a small river spreads from the edge of the village, and finally submerges straight into the lake. The water flow inside is gentle. Green trees grow on both sides of the river embankment. They grow in pairs on both sides of the river embankment. The shapes of the tree crowns are surprisingly consistent. , it looks like it has been carefully taken care of.

An elegant small courtyard is located at the other end of the river. A newly built stone bridge spans both sides, connecting the village and the small courtyard.

In front of the door of the small courtyard is a piece of thin bamboo, which grows silently around the courtyard wall. After passing through the gate of the courtyard wall, in the flat courtyard, there is a small lotus pond on one side, with several lotus buds waiting to bloom on the water, and on the other side of the flat courtyard. On the side is a flat mud floor, with dustpans stacked on top and some unknown herbs drying.

Next to the herbs, a few strings stretched across the courtyard, and there were actually many dried fish hanging on them. They were densely packed and of different sizes, bending the strings and making them look heavy.

In the middle of the courtyard, a two-story bamboo house stands. Two huge bamboo sheds extend on both sides of the bamboo house. In one of the bamboo sheds, firewood and charcoal are neatly stacked on one side, and on the other side is a pit like a stove. There are three potholes, and next to them are some pottery pots and tools used for cooking medicine. It looks like a refining pharmacy.

In another bamboo shed, various kinds of medicines that have been initially sorted are placed on rows of shelves, waiting for further processing. Next to the shelves are the utensils for processing medicines, such as pestles, mortars and other common ones. There are many names, but they are all kinds of strange and dazzling, but the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a huge medicine grinder. At this time, a young man with an honest and honest appearance is stepping on the medicine grinder, pushing the stone mortar back and forth with his waist. Handle the medication wholeheartedly.

"Is Doctor Mo here?"

An urgent shout interrupted the young man's movements. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and ran out.

What he saw shocked him.

In the courtyard, a villager was seen holding an unconscious young man in a panic. The young man was all wet, and it was Xu Zhian.

"Did you fall into the water?"

The young man rushed forward in a hurry. Without the villagers saying anything, he took Xu Zhi'an in his arms and rushed towards the bamboo building. He placed Xu Zhi'an next to the pit in the alchemy and checked Xu Zhi'an. , and then pressed his hands on Xu Zhi'an's chest and abdomen.

"Quickly, help me light the fire!" The young man shouted at the villagers who were following him, but kept pressing with his hands and feet.

Upon hearing this, the villager immediately took action, lighting firewood and pulling the bellows.

Then I saw the young man, his hands and feet stopped, and he probed Xu Zhian's nose, as if he felt Xu Zhian's weak breathing, then quickly took out a few herbs from the clay pot, and then hurriedly ran to take down some medicinal powder from the huge medicine grinder. After mixing it with water, it was fed to the unconscious Xu Zhian.

He watched Xu Zhian's pale face gradually return to rosy, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I didn't fall into the water for long. I'll wait for the fire to boil away and dispel the cold air." The young man wiped his sweat, and then looked at Xu Zhian's drenched appearance. He seemed to feel something was wrong, turned around and ran to the main building again. When he returned, he held a set of clean robes in his hand and said to the villagers: "The fire is almost at this level. Please help me change my clothes. Too much moisture is not good."

The villager hesitated to speak, but when he saw that the young man had started to take action, he had no choice but to hold back and cooperate with him.

After a while, the comatose Xu Zhi'an regained a new look. Flames rose in the alchemy, and the surrounding temperature increased rapidly. Xu Zhi'an's face gradually became healthier, and his breathing became much stronger.

Only then did the young man take a long breath, and then told the villagers: "Keep warm when you go back, and don't touch the water for three days. Chenghui, I'll give you fifteen cents for medicine and twenty cents for clothes. Please help. That's all. The rescue will be free of charge." Yes, thirty-five articles in total."

The villagers were dumbfounded and immediately replied: "You save your own family, and you want to control my payment?"

"Ah?" The young man blinked inexplicably.

"Isn't he the disciple that Doctor Mo accepted three years ago?"

"ah?"

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, their big eyes staring into small eyes, and they looked at each other in confusion.

"Is Doctor Mo here?"

At this moment, there was another sound in the courtyard.

The young man quickly put back his confused thoughts, suppressed the urge to argue with the villager, and walked outside the house, sighing in his heart that he was really busy today.

But he was completely unexpected by the person who came. It was the old man who had just presided over the sacrifice.

The old man was still dressed as a sacrifice to the gods. He must have arrived in a hurry and had no time to change his clothes.

"Village Chief, why are you here in person? Isn't today the Lake God Festival? You are here in person. Could it be that something big happened?"

"It turns out to be little friend A Niu. Can you please inform the commander? I do have something to discuss with the commander."

"This is really difficult to handle." The young man named A Niu scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Master went out before dawn, apparently to collect some medicine."

"That's it." The village chief pondered for a moment, and then asked intentionally or unintentionally: "A child fell into the water today. I wonder what happened to him?"

"I was just about to say this. The person is fine, but the uncle just refused to pay the medical fee and said he was a member of my family. Village chief, please judge. If you don't want to pay, you have to find someone else who can make excuses. Reason, I can’t even pass this level of argument.”

A Niu said distressedly, but did not notice that when the village chief heard that the person was okay, a light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared very quickly.

"To be honest, I came here just for this matter. That young man is indeed one of your family members. Doctor Mo accepted a disciple from another country three years ago. Unfortunately, he lost his footing and fell into Bibo Lake after arriving at the village. But he didn't expect that the lake would be like this today." God appeared and sent him back, and his appearance has not changed from three years ago. If Doctor Mo knows this, he will definitely be very happy."

"Ah?" A Niu was shocked.

"This is absolutely true. I wanted to express my congratulations to Doctor Mo in person, but unfortunately, Doctor Mo is traveling. It seems that I have no chance to see him today." The village chief sighed.

A Niu's face changed, and he was a little panicked. He didn't know what happened three years ago, but the village chief came in person, talking about the appearance of the lake god, and it was related to Doctor Mo. This was no small matter.

"Village Chief, in that case, please sit inside the house first, and I will prepare tea for you. Master may be back at any time."

A Niu said, turning around to prepare tea.

"Wait a minute." The village chief stopped him, "Little friend A Niu, since Doctor Mo is not here, I would like to ask you to convey the message on your behalf. After all, this is an internal matter of yours. I won't bother you too much, so I will take my leave."

"Ah?" Aniu was stunned again.

However, he saw the village chief glance at the alchemy, and the villagers who had been watching the courtyard hurriedly ran out, followed the village chief, and then left quickly, leaving Aniu in a daze.

"Is the village chief also avoiding the bill?" A Niu blinked innocently.
