Druid's Country Retirement

It took a whole morning.

The last number plate was released, and no more tourists signed up in the small square.

There were two thick stacks of disclaimer forms and insurance policies on the table, and Fang Wanda's brain ached when he looked at them.

Tourists are so crazy that they can’t stop their enthusiasm for going into the mountains. Now there are more than 900 people participating in the picking activities in the mountains.

"Village chief, what should we do now?"

"Chilled salad, let's go. One duck is allowed, but a group of ducks are left alone. Have Dakui and the others come back?" Li Hongbing looked indifferent.

Hong Qi interjected, "No, a few old hunters came again this morning and went into the mountains with Uncle Da Kui."

A few more old hunters came.

Li Hongbing nodded. The boat would naturally straighten up when it reached the bridge, and then he waved his hand.

"We'll wait until they come back. We've been busy all morning. Let's go to the cafeteria for dinner. I'll treat you!!"

A group of people rushed into the cafeteria hungry and asked the chef to serve wine and food.

After lunch.

Li Hongbing remembered that the health care project had not yet been implemented, so he pulled Wanda up to the clinic and heard the Shen Nong's Materia Medica in the distance.

“The earth grows plants and trees, each with different properties and uses. The ancients have taught them, and this is intended to be summarized.

The hair can eliminate wind, the slime can remove toxins, the hollow can eliminate edema, and the thorns can drain pus.

The stems are square and can spread, the bones are round and the fire is red, the leaves are thin and can relieve pain, and the swollen joints can treat bruises."

This is! !
Xiaowuzi's voice.

He came to Caogou Village, why didn't he trust him?

Looking at Fang Wanda with questioning eyes, the latter murmured in a low voice, "As soon as you enter the city, the little five will come. There is no place to stay, so Lian Qian will let him live in the dormitory in the clinic."

Okay!

This second senior sister is quite competent at her job.

Li Hongbing nodded slightly and walked into the courtyard of the infirmary with his hands behind his back. He saw Xiao Wuzi sitting on the ground, holding a book in one hand and resting his back on sun-bathed gold. He shook his head while reciting the Materia Medica with a certain rhythm in his voice. Looks like an old scholar.

Cough!

He coughed twice on purpose.

Hearing the sound, Jin Zi reacted first, suddenly got up, ran with agile steps with his round body, and disappeared into the yard. Xiao Wuzi covered his hips and turned his head. The moment he saw Li Hongbing, his face was full of surprise and smile, and he didn't care. My butt hurt, so I ran forward in a few steps.

"Master, you are back!"

"You came back the day before yesterday. Your second senior sister didn't bully you, right?" Li Hongbing scratched Xiao Wuzi's head.

Xiao Wuzi shook his head quickly, "No, Second Senior Sister is very kind to me. Also, Senior Uncle Fei and Senior Sister Xiu taught me a lot about medicinal materials."

Uncle Fei, Senior Sister Xiu! !

They haven't left yet?
Li Hongbing was stunned for a moment. It had been half a month since his wedding. How could these two people still stay in Caogou Village?

"What about them?"

"In the clinic, the second senior sister is giving the patient an injection." Xiao Wuzi raised his hand and pointed to the infirmary.

Li Hongbing took a few steps, then suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"Xiaowuzi, are there any medicinal materials in the pharmacy?"

"Yes, Grandpa Guang will send a batch of medicinal materials to the village every once in a while and put them in the pharmacy."

"Take me to see!"

I was originally going to meet Mr. Fei, but I thought that tomorrow there would be thousands of people going into the mountains to sweep up. Although it is mid-autumn now, most snakes have already entered a state of hibernation. If an unlucky tourist accidentally stumbles into a snake nest or is bitten by a poisonous insect, the wild mountains and wilderness will be destroyed. Where can I find a doctor?

Make an antidote in advance and ask the old hunter to bring it with him tomorrow.

This is Li Hongbing’s first time visiting the traditional Chinese medicine dispensary in the infirmary.

The room is dominated by solid wood counters and shelves that display neat rows of Chinese medicinal herbs and bottles.

The air is filled with a strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine, mixed with the aroma of various herbs.

"Xiaowuzi, do you have any medicine like indigo?" Li Hongbing glanced at the counter.

Indigo!

Xiaowuzi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said yes, then jumped into the counter, opened the drawer on the medicine shelf, and pulled out an unopened transparent bag filled with blue-black powder.

"Master, Qingdai has been found!"

After opening the package, a stream of light blue powder flew out. Li Hongbing picked up a handful and twisted it gently with his fingers. The powder became fine powder with a slight grassy smell and a light taste.

Not bad.

Lao Guangtou is not a good person, but his medicine knowledge is pretty good.

I didn’t fool anyone with parallel-imported indigo.

"Xiao Wuzi, let me ask you a question: What is indigo?"

"Indigo is also called indigo. It is a powder made from the processed stems and leaves of indigo, indigo, indigo, woad and other stems and leaves. It is cold in nature and salty in taste. It has the functions of clearing away heat and purging fire, cooling blood and detoxifying, and treating febrile fever. Excessive rash, rash, vomiting blood, hemoptysis, epilepsy in children, sores, erysipelas, snake and insect bites."

"Yes, then what is this indigo made from, and what grade is it?" Li Hongbing pointed to the indigo on the counter.

Xiao Wuzi stepped forward and picked up a handful of indigo, gently rolled it between his fingers, and then put it into his mouth.

"Master, this is top-grade indigo. It is made using the water flying method. It is fine and smooth when twisted by hand. It can stick to paper. It smells of grass and tastes slightly sour. It is more pure and powdery." fine."

The third apprentice's answer shocked Li Hongbing. He had given him a copy of Shennong's Herbal Classic since he accepted him as an apprentice, but he did not teach him about the preparation and evaluation of medicinal materials. How could he know so much and answer so accurately.

"How do you know the preparation method and evaluation?"

Xiao Wuzi lowered his head shyly, "I recite Shen Nong's Herbal Classic every day. The preparation methods of the medicinal materials in the book are all in my head, and they will come out when needed. But the second senior sister taught me to memorize acupoint songs and acupuncture songs. How do I recite them?" I can’t even remember it.”

After listening, Li Hongbing frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Xiao Wuzi is a pharmaceutical genius?

He knows a lot about medicinal materials, but he has no knowledge of acupuncture points and acupuncture.

This partiality is really serious!

Seeing Li Hongbing frowning, Xiao Wuzi panicked, tears flowed out, and he knelt down.

"Master, don't be angry. I will recite the acupoint songs well. Don't drive me away!"

"Stand up, when did I tell you to drive you away!" Li Hongbing was speechless. The movement attracted Sun Lianqian, Fei Lao and Xiu Pinyu who had just finished acupuncture for the villagers next door.

When he entered the room, he saw Xiao Wuzi with tears in his eyes, and Mr. Fei showed a little bit of unhappiness on his face. This child was the most serious and hard-working student he had ever seen since he was a doctor.

Every day, he would start reciting the medicine book even before the rooster crows, and he would still recite the medicine book late at night. If he were his apprentice, he would wake up laughing in his sleep and dreams with that kind of persistence.

"Hongbing, why do you punish Xu Xiaoyou?"

"Yes, Master, why are you quarreling with Xiaowuzi? He is so easy to learn! Is it because he can't recite acupuncture points songs well? Then you can't scold him!" Sun Lianqian also accused him.

Although Xiu Pinyu said nothing, the contempt in her eyes made Li Hongbing feel that he was an extremely evil person. "Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean, I didn't do anything." Li Hongbing spread his hands aggrievedly, "I just think that Xiao Wuzi is not suitable for learning acupuncture, but medicine is more suitable for him."

Just because of this! !
The three people who spoke upright looked at each other and looked at Li Hongbing embarrassedly.

As the oldest old man, Fei Lao coughed twice and said, "The red soldier is right. Xiao Wuzi does have a special talent for medicinal materials. He should teach students according to their aptitude and not waste such a rare talent."

"Master, I wrongly blamed you!" Sun Lianqian made a pitiful expression. Li Hongbing didn't take this trick and glared at her instead. Fang Wanda, who was standing next to him, looked obsessed.

Having no time to talk to the three of them, Li Hongbing asked Xiao Wuzi.

"I'll give you a task. Use 10 grams of indigo powder and 5 grams of mung bean powder to make it into a powder. Can it be done?"

Make powder!
Xiao Wuzi suddenly looked up at his master. Even though he knew the medicine books by heart, this was his first time preparing medicine.

I have always dreamed of concocting medicine, but I didn’t expect this day to come so soon!
"Hongbing, the fifth son is still young. Is it too early to concoct the medicine? It will undermine the success of the work." Mr. Fei did not expect that Li Hongbing would be so radical. Apprentices from Chinese medicine practitioners need to study for at least two years, and they can only start making medicine after being approved by the master. Start making medicine as soon as you get started.

"Indigo powder is not difficult, I have to do it myself." Li Hongbing looked at Xiao Wuzi with an indifferent look, "Can you do it?"

"can!!"

Xiao Wuzi nodded heavily, quickly picked up the indigo on the counter, and ran into the pharmacy, for fear that the master would regret it.

Clinic room.

Li Hongbing, Sun Lianqian, Fei Lao, Xiu Pinyu, and Fang Wanda sat looking at each other holding teacups.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

I really can't find a starting topic.

Finally, Mr. Fei couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Red soldier, the big boss's condition is due to his ignorance. He diagnosed it with fever dysentery and did not diagnose Yangming disease as the cause."

Li Hongbing waved his hand.

"Yangming disease is rare, and it is indeed similar to febrile dysentery. Mr. Fei does not need to blame himself. The sticky substance in his godfather's intestines has been removed and there is no serious problem."

"Your medical skills are not as good as mine!" Mr. Fei knew that this was to give Li Hongbing a chance to step down for him, but if he was not as strong as others, he was inferior to others, so there was no need to hide it.

At this time, Xiu Pinyu, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"Doctor Li, Pinyu. I would like to become your teacher and learn the art of acupuncture."

Worship me as your teacher.

Li Hongbing was stunned for a moment. In fact, Xiu Pinyu's thoughts could be seen from the first meeting. He had always avoided meeting each other. He didn't expect that the other party could endure it, and he had to show up after he endured it.

The core of the Li family's medical skills is Wuqinxi, which helps them obtain Qi movement. Only by mastering Qi movement can one truly learn the techniques of acupuncture and massage.

Xiu Pinyu is different from Sun Lianqian and Xiao Wuzi. She has inherited her family education, and her character is also unknown.

If the aerodynamics are leaked, it will be difficult to live a peaceful life in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Hongbing shook his head.

"Mr. Xiu is the grandmaster of the opening sect of Fei Jing Zou Qi sect. The Li family's medical sect is of low seniority. How can we accept Mr. Xiu's descendants as disciples? I have taught all the acupuncture techniques to Lian Qian without any reservation. If you want to learn it, you can Together with Lian Qian, you can come to me to discuss anything you don’t understand.”

Although the words were not stated clearly, the meaning was obvious.

To put it bluntly, I'm sorry, you are too senior and I can't accept it!
Xiu Pinyu's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she wanted to say something, but Fei Lao stopped her with his eyes.

Li Hongbing is right. Xiupin's grandfather Xiu Yangzhai was from a medical family. He was a disciple of imperial physician Kang Zigeng. Later, he became a disciple of Yuan Chunying, a master of acupuncture. He was a pioneer in the "Acupuncture Fei Jing Zou Style" and was known as "Xiu Yi Zhen". ".

Regardless of qualifications or inheritance, Li Hongbing's medical skills are far ahead of him. Although Li Hongbing has superb medical skills, fame and fortune cannot escape the traditional Chinese medicine field.

If the Xiu family sacrifices their status and becomes Li Hongbing's disciple, the golden name of the Xiu family will undoubtedly be ridiculed by their peers. Moreover, Xiu Pinyu is not the only one in the Xiu family, and she is not the one who can become a disciple if she wants.

Then, the atmosphere in the clinic became awkward again.

Even Mr. Fei didn't know what to say, so Xiu Pinyu killed him with just one sentence.

At this time.

Xiaowuzi ran in excitedly from outside with a medicine bag.

"Master, Master, I have prepared the powder."

"Here, let me take a look!" Li Hongbing took the paper bag. There was nothing to compare with the indigo powder. There were only two drugs, one indigo and one mung bean powder. No matter how they were mixed, they were almost the same.

The paper package is opened.

Dark blue indigo powder mixed with some grey-green mung bean powder.

It can be seen that Xiao Wuzi did it very carefully. He used a mortar to grind the two medicinal powders again.

The medicinal powder is fine and has reached the maximum degree of manual grinding.

The weight is also very accurate, fifteen grams per pack, no more, no less.

"How is it, Master?" Xiao Wuzi said with a nervous and excited expression.

"Very good, very good!" Of course, Li Hongbing praised him without hesitation, and Xiao Wuzi narrowed his eyes with joy.

"Can you make 6 medicine packs before 300 o'clock today? The powder does not need to be so fine. One pack is worth 20 yuan, and Xiao Wuzi will pay 5 yuan." Li Hongbing looked at Fang Wanda, "The village committee will settle the bill, Wanda How about taking some time to check the accounts with Lian Qian?"

Little Wuzi, Fang Wanda immediately smiled.

The former did not expect that he could earn money by making medicinal powder, while the latter thanked the village chief for creating the opportunity for him to be alone with the goddess.

"Village Chief, I think it's okay."

"Hongbing, why do you make so much indigo powder?" Fei Lao asked curiously.

"Tomorrow the village will organize tourists to go into the mountains to pick mountain fruits and make some indigo powder to prevent people from being bitten by poisonous mountain ants, so that they are prepared." Li Hongbing explained with a smile.

Mr. Fei nodded and said, "There is a saying in Kaibao Materia Medica that Indigo Naturalis is the main detoxifier of various medicines. It can also be applied to heat sores, kill pests, malignant swelling, golden sores, bleeding, snakes and dogs and other poisons. It is indeed a detoxification agent."

"Village chief, health care project." Fang Wanda came to the infirmary for a long time without mentioning anything serious, so she couldn't help but whisper anxiously.

correct!

Forget the business of today.

Li Hongbing cleared his throat, "Lian Qian, have you chosen the health-preserving decoction you mentioned last time?"

"You've chosen!" Sun Lianqian quickly put down her tea cup and took out a piece of writing paper from the table. "I have selected some medicinal herbs grown locally in the forest area. Master, please take a look."

Taking the letter, Li Hongbing read it carefully, nodding while reading.

[Erchen Soup], [Sanren Soup], [Sishen Soup], [Siwu Soup], [Sijunzi Soup], [Wuhong Soup], [Bazhen Soup].

The functions include replenishing qi and nourishing the skin, regulating qi and harmonizing the body, nourishing the mind and calming the mind, moving qi and nourishing the blood, which is perfect for maintaining health.

Some of the medicinal materials can be substituted. For example, wild yam can be substituted for Chinese yam, and wild ginseng from Laozhai Medicine Garden can be used for ginseng.

The most important thing is the sacred ginseng for men. Although there is an agreement that you cannot make and sell ginseng pills, you can always make soup!

A bowl of ginseng, wolfberry and pigeon soup.

It sells for 3000 yuan, which is cheap enough!
