In the early morning, everything is silent, the sky is bright, and the night is about to disappear. The dawn light slowly wakes up the sleeping creatures. The light and fresh mist gently sprays on all things in the world, which is a very pleasing feeling.
There were wisps of smoke floating on the roofs of the small mountain village. Chen Fan, who was always used to getting up early, was already doing various strange movements and postures in the front garden of his house.
At one moment he was like a bird spreading its wings and about to fly, at another moment he was crawling back and forth with his limbs like a tiger walking, and at another moment he was running like a wild deer...
The whole set of movements keeps changing back and forth like flowing clouds and flowing water. The expression also changes with each different movement. At one moment, it is like a tiger descending the mountain, extremely powerful, and at another moment, it is as agile and active as an ape...
Regardless of the changes in his movements, Chen Fan's breathing was still natural and steady, without the slightest hint of rush.
"Huh!" Chen Fan exhaled a deep breath, and felt extremely comfortable and refreshed all over his body.
"Fan'er, you are so good at this Five Animals show."
Chen Fan turned around and saw his grandfather standing behind him. He walked over quickly and said, "Grandpa, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early."
"It's getting late, you've already played with the five animals two or three times." Grandpa Chen walked to the center of the front garden and said, "Fan'er, continue to practice with grandpa one more time, and make breakfast, okay?"
"Um!"
Chen Fan accompanied his grandfather and played the Five Animals Opera from beginning to end again, and then said: "Grandpa, let me make breakfast first."
"Go." Grandpa Chen waved his hand and motioned for Chen Fan to make breakfast. He himself was active in the front garden for a while, until Chen Fan asked him to eat, and then he returned to the house.
After breakfast, Grandpa Chen called Chen Fan to his side and said, "Fan'er, Grandpa plans to go into the mountains to collect some herbs today, so you can help look after the house."
"Grandpa, what herbs do you want to pick? I'll go pick them." Grandpa is already quite old, and Chen Fan doesn't want him to go into the mountains again.
What's more, since Chen Fan was sensible, he has studied medicine with his grandfather, asking for pulses, making prescriptions, selecting medicines, decoctions, and acupuncture and cupping. Relying on his intelligence, Chen Fan did not only do clinical work when he was twelve years old, but also did other things.
All of them are almost completely mastered.
This is mainly because of his reputation as a disaster star, which makes the people in the village only ask Grandpa Chen to heal them even if they are sick. Even if Grandpa Chen is not at home or is too busy, they would rather endure the illness.
Not even letting Chen Fan take a look.
Chen Fan had no choice but to help his grandfather, or stand aside and listen to his grandfather explain the cause of the disease and how to deal with it.
As for the work of collecting herbs in the mountains, Chen Fan had already taken on it alone when he was fourteen years old. Whenever there was a shortage of herbs at home, he would go to the mountains to collect them as soon as possible. The basket full of herbs yesterday was all his.
Collected from the mountains.
"Haha, grandpa knows that Fan'er's medical skills are better than those of others, and the identification of herbal medicines is no problem, but this time grandpa plans to go into the mountains himself." Grandpa Chen naturally knew that Chen Fan was caring about him, but
He actually had other plans when he went into the mountains to collect herbs this time.
"But, grandpa..."
"Okay, stop talking." Grandpa Chen waved his hand and interrupted Chen Fan's words and said, "Grandpa is still in good health, so you don't have to worry about it. The matter of going into the mountains to collect herbs is settled. You can stay here."
I’m fine at home.”
Although he was reluctant, from his grandfather's tone, Chen Fan knew that no matter what he said about going into the mountains to collect herbs, his grandfather would never change his mind, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After Chen Fan helped his grandfather prepare the tools for collecting herbs in the mountains, he warned: "Grandpa, you haven't gone into the mountains to collect herbs for many years. Please pay more attention to safety on the road."
"Haha, when grandpa went into the mountains to collect herbs, you were not born yet, so you can rest assured." Carrying the medicine basket and the medicine hoe, Grandpa Chen left the house.
Chen Fan, who was staying at home alone, was not bored. He picked up one of the medical books on his grandfather's bookshelf and took a look at the title. It turned out to be "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".
He had already finished reading the medical book "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and could memorize it backwards and forwards. However, Chen Fan did not put the medical book back to its original position, but continued to open the first page and read.
I don't think it would be superfluous to do this, but I still enjoy watching it.
In fact, Chen Fan has read all the medical books on the bookshelf and understands what they say. However, when he has nothing to do, he will take them out and read them again. Maybe it is because he has not been able to practice them, which makes him want to start from
I found some newer things in the book.
"Those who often sweat spontaneously due to illness have a harmonious Qi. Those with a harmonious Qi are defensive Qi..." Chen Fan, who was fascinated by what he saw, couldn't help but read out the contents of the book.
"Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen..." While Chen Fan was still immersed in the content of the book, a rapid middle-aged man's voice came from outside the house.
Then there was only a "bang" sound, and a middle-aged man rushed in. He didn't even notice that he bumped into the door edge, and anxiously asked Chen Fan in the room: "Is your grandpa?"
"Grandpa, he went into the mountains to collect herbs." It turned out that the person coming was Uncle He Shangang from the village.
"Really, why did your grandpa go into the mountains to collect herbs at this time! My Tieniu is still waiting for him to save his life. What should we do now? What should we do..." As he spoke, He Shanzhuang's voice became choked up.
.
Chen Fan quickly stood up, helped He Shanzhuang, who was already squatting on the ground and began to cry, and asked: "Uncle He, what is going on, can you tell me? Maybe I can
Please help."
"Yes! Why didn't I expect that?" He Shanzhuang patted his thigh, looked at the doctor's book in Chen Fan's hand, took Chen Fan's hand, and said excitedly: "Xiao Fan, no matter what happens this time,
Anyway, you have to help Uncle He and save my Tieniu."
Seeing that He Shanzhuang kept holding his hand and dragging him out of the house, Chen Fan was embarrassed to break away and said with some embarrassment: "Uncle He, please don't pull me too busy. I don't know what happened yet. What's more, I
I haven’t really started to treat villagers yet.”
"I can't care so much anymore. You have been with Dr. Chen for so long, and you know how to do anything with medical skills. My Tieniu is still waiting for you to save his life. I will tell you what happened while walking." He Shanzhuang couldn't care less at this time.
So much, he didn't let go without saying anything, he kept holding Chen Fan's hand and walked forward.
"Even if it's to save lives, you still have to wait for me to get the medicine box!" Although Chen Fan didn't understand what happened, he knew that most people in the village came to his grandfather to treat illnesses and save people, so he was still the first
Time reminds me of my grandpa’s medicine box when he visits the doctor.
"Why did I forget?" He Shanzhuang then realized that Chen Fan, who had been dragged away by him for a long time, had nothing in his hands except the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" in his hand. He immediately said: "I
I’ll go get it for you.”
He Shanzhuang ran back into the room in a few steps, picked up the medicine box on the consultation table and hung it on his body. He quickly ran back to Chen Fan and urged: "Let's go quickly! Are you there?"
It’s not in a hurry to leave.”
Along the way, Chen Fan was pulled by He Shanzhuang and rushed towards He Shanzhuang's home. On the way, Chen Fan also heard He Shanzhuang mention that his son He Tieniu was fine in the morning.
But just now I don't know what happened, I suddenly fell to the ground with a face of pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and developed a high fever, making it difficult to breathe.
He Shanzhuang's home was surrounded by some villagers who came after hearing the news, and even the village chief was inside.
Seeing He Shanzhuang who had already hurried back, he looked behind him and saw no sign of Grandpa Chen. He asked doubtfully: "Dazhuang, Doctor Chen?"
"Village chief, Dr. Chen went into the mountains to collect herbs..."
"What? You went into the mountains to collect medicine?" After hearing the news, the village chief immediately shouted, and then said anxiously: "Our village is more than 30 kilometers away from the nearest town, and the road is very long.
It’s not easy to walk, this...how can this little kid survive for so long?”
"Village chief, although Dr. Chen went into the mountains to collect medicine, I brought his grandson to him. I still asked him to check Niu Wa's condition first." He Shanzhuang was more anxious than anyone else about his son's condition.
"Chen Fan?" Only then did the village chief notice Chen Fan standing next to He Shanzhuang. He also knew that Chen Fan had a reputation as a disaster star in the village. None of the villagers wanted to be with him, and Chen Fan
Apart from going into the mountains to collect medicine, Fan rarely left his grandfather's small clinic.
"Village Chief." Chen Fan greeted the village chief and asked, "How is Tieniu doing now? Do you want me to go in and have a look?"
"this……"
Before the village chief could say anything, he saw a middle-aged man of medium build outside the house shouting from the side: "Dazhuang, are you out of your mind? Why don't you invite such a disaster star to come and help your son?"
See a doctor, don't let your son get into trouble if the disease is not cured."
"Yes, Wang Ming is right. This disaster star killed his parents as soon as he was born. Da Zhuang, how could you invite such a disaster star to come back to treat Niu Wa's illness? What's more, you haven't heard of him in these years.
He knows how to treat illnesses and save people." Another villager also spoke and drank.
"That's right. Da Zhuang, if you invite this disaster star back, why don't you send your son to the road to hell?"
"…………"
With the first voice of opposition, there will naturally be a second and third one... The villagers outside the house began to talk, saying that He Shanzhuang should not invite Chen Fan to treat Tieniu.
Chen Fan was called the "disaster star".
"this……"
He Shanzhuang didn't know what to do at this time. Because he was so worried about his son's safety, he temporarily forgot Chen Fan's name in the village. Now seeing the villagers making noises, he felt embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know whether he should do it or not.
Let Chen Fan see a doctor for his son.
Chen Fan stood there, listening to the villagers' voices talking about each other. His clenched fists turned a little white, especially the right hand holding the medicine box belt, which was used to buckle the medicine box belt with a thumb.
The hole was so big that if the belt of the medicine box hadn't been strong enough, the whole medicine box might have fallen to the ground.
One can imagine how uncomfortable it was for Chen Fan to hold back the unvented anger in his heart at this moment. If it had been anyone else, he might have vented it long ago.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Chen Fan, who couldn't stand listening anymore, finally roared angrily, causing all the villagers who were still discussing to shut up. At this time, Chen Fan glanced at everyone and shouted loudly: "If Niu Wa gets sick, I will
If it can't be smelted, I will willingly pay for it with one life. Are you satisfied now?"
After shouting, Chen Fan ignored the villagers at the door and walked into the house. Seeing this, everyone did not dare to say anything and made way for Chen Fan.
