Le Shanren has been practicing medicine for half his life and has never seen such a shameless person as Huo Liandong.
An old man in his sixties can't do that anymore, so what else can he do? Why can he still marry a concubine? It's not a joke.
Le Shanren said angrily: "If you want the long root medicine, you can do it. A pair of medicine costs one hundred taels of silver, not even a penny less!"
After hearing what Leshan said, Huo Liandong was happy at first and then stunned: "So expensive?"
Le Shanren rolled his sleeves and said, "If you want to buy it, don't buy it. If you don't, get out!"
Huo Liandong hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll buy it. Isn't it okay if I buy it? Well, how long can a dose of medicine last?"
"Ten medicines and one course of treatment will protect you for one year. By the way, I don't just sell this medicine!"
No matter how rich Huo Liandong was, it was only a thousand taels. How much was a thousand taels? It could buy a big house in the county. Huo Liandong was willing to risk everything in order to regain his power. He gritted his teeth and said
: "Ten pairs are ten pairs!"
Le Shanren was able to buy such a family business and at the same time treat the common people for free. The money was not brought by the strong wind. He cut it with a knife from the bodies of the rich and noble people, especially the scum who were unkind and greedy for wealth.
.
With these one thousand taels of silver, I have enough money to go out next spring to help people in need. People are in high spirits during happy events, and I saw Le Shanren humming a little tune, carrying a fishing rod and a fish basket, and planning to try his luck at the river again.
As soon as Le Shanren walked out of the door, he saw a man in green shirt carrying a sword box walking over from a distance. He couldn't help but lean on the roadside and take a look...
No matter where he squatted, Le Shanren, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, was no different from the ordinary people. He didn't look like the owner of the village at all, but the skinned man was a bit fairer.
Le Shanren was sizing up Li Taiping, and Li Taiping was also sizing up Le Shanren. Although Le Shanren was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked like a commoner, his impressive martial arts skills could not be hidden from Li Taiping's eyes.
When Li Taiping passed by Le Shanren, he nodded slightly towards Le Shanren as a greeting.
Le Shanren could not see the depth of Li Taiping's martial arts, and was secretly surprised: "This man is not as young as a young man, but his martial arts training is so profound!" He couldn't help but become interested, and simply stopped fishing.
Li Taiping strode to the door of the villa, raised his head and glanced at the four large characters "Houde Villa" with iron paintings and silver hooks on the plaque on the door. He couldn't help but smile at the gatekeeper, clasped his fists and said, "The boy was passing by here. I heard that the owner of the villa
I have made many good connections, so I have the courage to come and stay overnight!"
The gatekeeper glanced at the village owner behind the man, and when he saw the village owner nodded, he returned the greeting: "Young hero, you have come to the right place! Our village owner is always willing to help others, and everyone who comes to stay in the village will be given the convenience.
of the door.”
Li Taiping cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to thank the owner of the village, and I'd like to thank my little brother."
The gatekeeper led Li Taiping into Zhuangzi and said as he walked: "There are many people seeking medical treatment in Zhuangzi, and most of them are a little impatient. Please be patient and don't start any quarrels."
"Don't worry, little brother, I'll save it and won't cause trouble for Zhuangzi!" Li Taiping replied.
The gatekeeper continued to smile and said: "Zhuangzi doesn't have many rules. You just have to stay away from the back house and the quiet room."
After Li Taiping settled in the guest room, he took a leisurely stroll around the village. Houde Villa occupies a large area, but there are no rockery ponds. Most of them are rows of neat buildings. Except for the guest rooms, Li Taiping
These are warehouses where herbs are stored.
Li Taiping looked at the gloomy patients and couldn't help but thought to himself, "This doesn't look like a villa. This is like an extra-large medical clinic!".
"What a kind person! Not only did he give my daughter free diagnosis and treatment and prescribe medicine, but he also gave me fifty cents and asked me to buy two native chickens for my daughter to replenish her health when I go back!" An old man was speaking.
With a runny nose and tears, he said with tears of gratitude.
I saw a few ordinary people in coarse linen and linen clothes surrounding the old man, and they all agreed...
"Isn't that right? If it weren't for the good people in our family, we wouldn't be able to save our legs!"
"Those who are in a hurry need what they need! It is a blessing for the people of Dongyang County that Dongyang County has Houde Villa and there are kind-hearted people!" A man dressed as a scholar said happily.
Li Taiping walked around the village and heard many words of gratitude to Le Shanren for Houde Villa. He couldn't help but want to meet this great virtuous man with immeasurable merit.
"They are all false praises and cannot be taken seriously! Doctors have a parental heart, and Le Shanren just did what all doctors in the world would do."
A middle-aged man's voice came to Li Taiping's ear.
Li Taiping turned around and saw the middle-aged man who had just greeted him. He couldn't help but smile and said: "I don't agree with what this eldest brother said! There are so many doctors in the world, but how many of them can be like a kind person and not care about gain or loss?
He who practices the way of a healer!”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "My little brother has seen the owner of this village? Otherwise, how would you know that he doesn't have selfish motives for treating illnesses and saving people?"
Li Taiping shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it before, but I really want to see it! As for the elder brother asking whether the philanthropic person has any selfish motives, I actually think it is not important. People in this world are all running for fame and wealth, no matter how happy they are.
Whether a good person is doing it for fame or profit, or whether he is simply hypocritical, it doesn't really matter. What matters is how he does it."
"Hypocrisy doesn't matter either? Why did the little brother say this?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.
Li Taiping smiled and said: "For example, there is a treacherous and evil person. In order to gain a good reputation, this evil person does good things everywhere, and he does it all his life. Until the day when he closes his eyes and closes the coffin, he has never done a bad thing. This person is
He is a very good person."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Little brother, this idea is quite interesting. This is the first time I have heard of it. I wonder what you call little brother?"
But Li Taiping suddenly bowed and said: "Li Taiping has met the owner of the village and met the good man Le Da."
The middle-aged man smiled heartily and said, "Little brother Taiping, how do you know that I am that kind person?"
"You have the gatekeeper in front of you, and the people in the back who are seeking medical advice are all very respectful to you. In addition, the only person in Dongli Town who dares to openly question the owner of the village is the owner himself." Li
Taiping smiled.
"Little brother Taiping has dazzling eyes, unlike ordinary people!" the cheerful man sighed.
Li Taiping said with a smile: "The master of the village is so shameless! The master of the village has profound medical skills, extraordinary martial arts skills, and a benevolent heart. I can't be secular in front of the master of the village!"
"Brother Taiping, don't belittle yourself. Just look at the sword box behind Brother Taiping and you will know that the little brother must be a master of swordsmanship! When I was young, I was lucky enough to learn medical skills from the old immortal, and also learned a few sword skills. Unfortunately, I am not qualified and can only learn how to use swords.
I have scratched the surface! I would like to ask my little brother to give me some advice. How about being a teacher for half a day?" the cheerful man said with a smile.
"Master, please don't make fun of me. How dare you be a teacher with your three-legged cat's swordsmanship!"
I saw Le Shanren bowing and saluting: "There is no beginning or end in learning, the master is the teacher!"
In an open space outside Houde Villa, Le Shanren was very excited and broke off a branch. Like a child who has found his beloved thing, he danced with swords and flowers for many times...
"Please give me some advice from Brother Taiping."
Seeing this, Li Taiping couldn't help but thought, "Could this man be a martial arts idiot!".
Li Taiping also broke off a branch and made a sword-hand gesture: "Master of the village, please."
Le Shanren stepped forward and drew his sword. Several sword flowers appeared from the branches in his hand, and he stabbed Li Taiping in the chest.
In Li Taiping's eyes, this sword was full of errors and was not useful. Moreover, looking at the way Le Shanren held the sword, he knew that Le Shanren had become a monk halfway and was not practicing swordsmanship.
Li Taiping raised the branch in his hand, but did not intend to defeat the enemy with one move. After all, Le Shanren came to ask for lessons in swordsmanship, and he would have to go through several moves with Le Shanren.
The branches intersected with each other, and Li Taiping suddenly felt a gentle force suddenly hit the branch in Le Shanren's hand, and was secretly shocked.
"Such a strong internal force, but this internal force is a bit too cold. This is not a Taoist technique!" As soon as he got started, Li Taiping realized something was wrong.
Although there are many Taoist practices, most of them focus on neutrality, balance, hardness and softness. There will never be one that is too masculine or feminine, because that goes against the natural Taoist principles advocated by the Taoist sect.
Li Taiping thought it was his illusion, so he cheered up and fought with Le Shanren, and took the initiative to attack. The more serious Li Taiping was, the more frightened he became. You must know that Li Taiping had already used 70% of his hand-sword skills at this time.
Only with its power can it be able to suppress Le Shanren's offensive.
The branch in Li Taiping's hand passed through Le Shanren's sword net without any obstruction, and stabbed Le Shanren in the chest. However, he saw Le Shanren smile slightly and spin under his feet. The person spun out like a top, cleverly dodging Li Taiping's sword.
Move. Just when Li Taiping was about to change his move, Le Shanren turned back again, and was stuck at the moment when Li Taiping used his old move.
The branch in Le Shanren's hand used the power of rotation to slash horizontally towards Li Taiping. Li Taiping changed his moves to block while he was sheathing his sword. At the moment when the branches intersected, Li Taiping took advantage of the situation and took a step forward. At the same time, he used his backhand sword and stabbed Le Shanren again.
Shanren chest...
Le Shanren's ability to sustain himself for so long was not due to his sword skills but to his profound feminine inner strength and weird footwork.
"Sure enough, it's not a Taoist skill! But didn't my grandma say that it was taught by an old Taoist priest named Le Shanren!" After thinking about it, Li Taiping couldn't help but smile. What skills did he learn that are different from yours, Li Taiping?
What a shit.
Although Le Shanren had been able to sustain himself for a long time with his internal strength and body skills, he was ultimately defeated due to his lack of experience in fighting the enemy and his mediocre swordsmanship.
Li Taiping cupped his hands and said: "The master of the village has profound internal skills and good body skills. If he can improve his sword skills, he will definitely be no match for me!"
But he saw Le Shanren laughing and saying, "My little brother is so good at swordsmanship. I'm afraid I won't be able to practice my swordsmanship to the same level as my little brother in this life!"
Li Taiping knew in his heart that Le Shanren was not good at swordsmanship, but he did not point it out. After all, no one had any secrets and no backup plan.
On the way back, Le Shanren had been discussing swordsmanship with Li Taiping, asking for advice humbly, without any airs like the owner of the village...
