When Xiaolan saw her grandfather taking out his pipe, she quickly stood up and took out a box of matches from the counter to light her grandfather. Then she nodded vigorously, looked at the old man and asked: "Grandpa, did you use Chinese herbal medicine to treat my father?"
"
The old man nodded and said: "Yes, I saved your father with Chinese medicine. Chinese medical skills have unique curative effects. As long as you study hard, you will definitely become a good doctor."
As the old man spoke, he looked at Xiaoya and said with a smile: "Xiaoya, I'm not belittling your Western medicine." Xiaoya suddenly laughed: "Hehe, Chinese medicine and Western medicine each have their own advantages. Nowadays, doctors in the city
The hospital uses a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat patients, and it has indeed achieved very good results in treating some difficult and complicated diseases. Besides, if I follow you, I can be considered a half-traditional Chinese medicine practitioner now, right?"
Xiaoya laughed as she spoke, then looked at her grandfather and said sincerely: "There are indeed very few truly accomplished Chinese medicine practitioners nowadays, and even fewer Chinese medicine practitioners with profound medical skills like you. Alas, China's traditional Chinese medicine skills are broad and profound.
It is indeed difficult to use common sense to judge, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of some difficult and complicated diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique effects that Western medicine cannot match."
The old man nodded, turned to look at Xiaolan's envious eyes and said: "Xiaolan, study hard. Your ancestors lived in this mountain forest, so you should know a lot of herbal medicines. Children in the mountains follow the adults into the mountains since they were young.
Collecting herbs is also a major source of income for mountain people. Didn't your father fall down while collecting herbs in the mountains?"
Xiaolan suddenly looked at her grandfather with big eyes: "Yes, I know a lot of herbal medicines. Our children in the mountains often follow the adults to collect herbs in the mountains after the holidays, so naturally they know a lot of herbal medicines. They also know the medicinal properties of many herbal medicines.
We all pick our own medicine to treat minor ailments. We still have a lot of herbs picked by my father at home. My father said some of them are very precious. We just don’t know the pharmacology and how to use these good medicines."
Grandpa laughed: "There should be a lot of good medicinal materials here in the beautiful mountains and beautiful waters. Your knowledge of these medicinal herbs is the basis, and it is much better than your sister Xiaoya. She has just started to learn Chinese medicine now, and she doesn't know many medicinal herbs yet, haha
hehe".
Xiaoya also smiled and said to Xiaolan: "That's right, much better than me. Come on, Xiaolan, take sister to the back mountain to see if there are any herbs I know. Wan Lin, help Xiaolan
Check out the store."
Xiaolan happily agreed, pulled Xiaoya and ran towards the hill behind the hotel. Grandpa and Wan Lin watched the two sisters running happily up the hill, with a look of relief in their eyes.
Wan Lin immediately looked back at the old man and asked: "Is there no big problem with Xiaolan's father's injury?" The old man nodded and replied: "It's not a big problem. Let's observe it one more night. We'll go there and take a look tomorrow morning. If there's nothing wrong,
We can leave the problem."
Wan Lin nodded, got up and walked to the door of the hotel. He turned and looked in the direction of Xiaolan's house on the hillside for a while, and whispered: "I wonder if that gangster will come back to continue committing crimes?"
When the old man heard Wan Lin's worries, he stood up and walked to Wan Lin's side. He looked up at the rolling mountains in the distance and said, "No way! He missed twice in a row. He knew that the people here had been alert and would not come back.
. And the police and mountain residents here must have been more vigilant. If something goes wrong, security personnel have been deployed in the mountains. If he comes again, he will fall into a trap. This person is not young and has received professional training. His analytical ability is still
some".
Wan Lin nodded reassuringly, looked at his grandfather and said: "You go for a walk on the street. I'm here to help Xiaolan look after the store. Take a look at what good things are here. Buy some if you see what you like. The customs here
Human relations are very different from those in our hometown." As he spoke, he took out his wallet, took out a few bills and stuffed them into his grandfather's hands.
The grandfather smiled and stuffed the banknotes into his trouser pocket and said: "Okay, then I will go around and see if there are any good things? I will also spend my grandson's money!" As he said that, the old man walked excitedly into the town.
It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the street suddenly became lively. Several off-road vehicles and vans filled with passengers drove into the town one after another, and two off-road vehicles parked in front of Xiaolan's small hotel.
Seven or eight people in casual clothes jumped out of the car and walked toward the small hotel with backpacks on their backs. Wan Lin quickly picked up the accommodation price list from the counter and took a look at it, knowing in his heart that he was here for business.
He looked up and down at the people who were walking towards the door, and saw them striding into the hotel with extremely steady steps. One of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, and the others were all young men in their twenties.
.
He immediately understood that these people were all martial arts practitioners and must be going to participate in the martial arts competition. It was estimated that the older one was the master of these young people.
He hurried up to greet him and asked: "Hello, are you guys staying in the hotel? Yes." A young man walked up to Wan Lin and said, then looked at Wan Lin in surprise, obviously he didn't look like a local.
Wan Lin quoted the price of the room with a smile, and then said: "There happen to be a few empty rooms. The conditions here are a little rough, but they are very clean."
The young man turned his face to look at the dilapidated bamboo house and frowned. He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Master, the conditions here are worse. How about we look at another one?"
Wan Lin quickly said: "Just live here. I also stay here. It's really clean here. I'm temporarily helping the little girl in the store to look after the store. The little girl here and the owner are very poor, but the house is very clean."
Yes, why don't you take a look, it's absolutely spotless."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, turned to look at the passing cars outside, and then said: "Just stay here, there are no good hotels here, as long as it is clean."
Wan Lin quickly thanked him, picked up a bunch of room keys marked with numbers on the counter, and led several people up to the bamboo building.
After Wan Lin arranged a few people, he just walked back to the first floor with the key. He saw Xiaoya and Xiaolan coming back with a few handfuls of green plants. Xiaoya looked up and saw Wan Lin coming down the stairs.
Seeing him walking triumphantly while shaking a bunch of keys in his hand, he covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Staff, have you got business?"
"Hahahaha, of course! A few guests came in to look around and were about to go out, so they asked me to persuade them to stay. How about it, it would be good for me to be a small boss, right?" Wan Lin looked at Xiaoya with a smile proudly.
He said, unexpectedly, he was busy talking and forgot about the stairs at his feet. His left foot stepped out and he suddenly fell forward from the high stairs.
"Oh, be careful!" Xiaolan screamed. Wan Lin was also shocked at this time. His right foot on the stairs suddenly kicked off the stairs, and his body suddenly jumped upwards, jumping from the two-meter-high stairs.
