Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 261 Ask

As the days passed, the weather became cooler and colder, and the cold north wind finally blew down.

The severe cold in winter is not suitable for work. The weather is so cold that the river network in the Jiuqu Shibawan area slowly freezes, and the land gradually freezes.The frozen rivers provide no water source, and the frozen land makes digging more difficult.The kitchen households who cook salt have no production conditions, and the cat winter has begun.

The cold freezes everything, and naturally also freezes water vapor. In the cold winter, the humidity of the air is greatly reduced, which makes people with rheumatic bone disease feel much better. As long as they keep warm, their bone pain will not occur.This is also the quietest time for the medical clinic.

The warm winter sun shines down, making the ice flowers on the window crystal clear and emitting colorful brilliance.The light shone into the quiet medical hall and sprinkled a rainbow on the ground.

Three or five little birds that are not afraid of the severe cold are chirping and jumping in front of the door, spending their leisurely morning time.At this time, Zhang Miao could always see Xiangmao standing at the door, bathing in the sunshine, with a slight smile on her face.

"Life like this is great, isn't it?" She always said this. After listening to it for a long time, Zhang Miao asked, "What's so good about life like this?"

"There are so few people around. Isn't this the best day for a medical clinic?" Xiangmao said with a smile. She pointed to the little sparrow jumping in front of the door and continued: "No one came to the door, and the sparrows at the door were all." No one bothers me. No one comes to the hospital, so naturally no one gets sick. No one gets sick, isn’t it a good day?”

Zhang Miao was slightly startled by her words, and then she laughed and said, "Yes, it's such a good day."

Xiangmao also laughed when he heard this.Her smile is even warmer than the warm winter sun.In her body, Zhang Miao really felt the weight of the great doctor Zhiren's words.Over the past few days, his medical skills have not improved much through constant work in the medical clinic, but he has learned the "physician's kindness" from Xiangmao.

Medical skills, medical skills, having skills does not necessarily mean a good doctor, having both benevolence and morality, and superb medical skills are the real medical skills.

Citronella greatly touched Zhang Miao. In the past, Zhang Miao obtained a lot of medical knowledge by almost cheating.However, he has never really used his medical skills to serve many people, and he has never understood the concept of 'medical ethics and benevolence'.His medical skills are rich in veins and branches, but they lack one of the most important branches to support them. This branch is the 'morality' based on medical skills.

Without the support of branches, his medical skills would never be able to stand between heaven and earth and pray for the lives of the people.Lower doctors heal diseases, superior doctors heal people, and great doctors heal the country!No matter how high your medical skills are, without support, you are just a low-level doctor who can only cure diseases!

During this period of time, the roots of Zhang Miao's medical skills finally grew out, and branches will gradually emerge...

In the leisurely afternoon, there are only two or three pedestrians on the street.The winter freeze has blocked the water network, but this is the time when the road network is at its best.Various beasts of burden with thick fur appeared in Yancheng, bringing leather, grease, sugar and tools from far away, and taking away loads of refined salt.The frozen hard ground allowed these beasts of burden to walk very smoothly, and they could safely deliver goods to various places even if they carried thousands of pounds on their backs.

Yancheng is a trading city. The wind and snow here are not severe enough to close the mountains and roads. Trade will not freeze due to the cold, but will become more vigorous due to demand.

On this afternoon, Zhang Miao was drinking and chatting with Xiang Mao.Lemongrass doesn't like drinking tea. She thinks tea is too warm and cowardly, not suitable for people like her.She prefers drinking and believes that heroes can emerge from wine.Zhang Miao followed the local customs and could only drink with her.However, Xiangmao also took care of Zhang Miao. What they were drinking now was warm rice wine with salted beans, which felt indescribably comfortable.

Of course, the salt beans were also added at Zhang Miao's request.There is no need for side dishes when drinking lemongrass. Only to take care of people like Zhang Miao, I reluctantly added a bunch of salted beans.If you serve big fish and meat to eat wine, for Lemongrass, it’s not about drinking, but about eating.

When it comes to drinking, the two still have big differences.But the relationship between gentlemen is to seek common ground while reserving differences, and everyone accommodates each other, otherwise the wine will really be unbearable.

The two of them were drinking wine when suddenly, a ray of water flew over and they were in front of Xiangmao in the blink of an eye.Xiangmao took the water and looked at it, then frowned slightly.This was a letter, and judging from her expression, it didn't seem like good news.

Zhang Miao asked calmly: "What? What happened?"

Xiangmao shook his head lightly and said: "It's not a big deal. I heard that the water god from far away is going to be upgraded and is preparing to carry out a large-scale water exodus. I have also invited water gods from all over the world to watch the ceremony. Several of my sworn brothers have also been invited. "

Hearing the words '泳水水神', Zhang Miao thought of something.This Minshui is thousands of miles away from here. Did his promotion invite the water god here?
Xiangmao took a sip of the wine and said calmly: "Although I am invited to watch the ceremony, I am actually here to receive the gift. The promotion of any god will consume a lot of resources. If someone follows the rules when watching the ceremony, it will not be good for the upgraded water god. Undoubtedly, it is a help in times of need. These sworn brothers of mine are probably going to bleed."

Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Is there such a thing? What's the difference between this and ordinary people's marriages where they receive money from family members!"

Xiangmao thought for a while and said: "The biggest difference is that ordinary people can get back their share of money when they get married, but it is difficult to get back the share of money from gods who are upgraded. After all, not all gods have the opportunity to be upgraded. of."

This is quite true.When she said this, Xiangmao clearly thought of something, and her face darkened.Zhang Miao knew that she must be thinking of the Water God of Shuilong Bay who failed to be promoted.

Now that the conversation has ended, Zhang Miao took advantage of the situation and asked: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Water God of Shuilong Bay here?"

Xiangmao nodded, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes, and she said lightly: "It is indeed true, and it is not a secret. The Water God of Shuilong Bay is kind to me, and I have always regarded her as my best relative. It’s because of her that I’m connected to several other water gods.”

"What do you think about her death?" Zhang Miao continued to ask.

Hearing this, Xiangmao took a serious look at Zhang Miao, and then said: "You should be here just for this matter." Zhang Miao did not hide it and nodded directly to admit it.

After working with Zhang Miao for so many days, the two have established basic trust.Xiangmao pondered for a while and then said: "This matter is very deep. I have investigated it before, but the opponent is too strong. Even if I know some truth, there is nothing I can do." The opponents in her mouth should be the Poseidons of the East China Sea.

Hearing what she said, Zhang Miao also took out half of the Qingchi from his arms and said: "To be honest, I got this thing by chance, that's why I am interested in the Water God of Shuilong Bay."

Xiangmao looked at the half-piece of Qingchi in front of her, and her eyes changed again.She took a deep breath, took one last look at Zhang Qingchi, and said, "This is human nature. You got half of her Qingchi, so you probably want to explore her legacy."

Xiangmao's words were very direct, which made Zhang Miao a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and admitted: "It is true, when I got this green imperial edict, I was indeed interested in this water god's relic. But now , I feel that I gained more, and the treasure is not that important anymore." Listening to Zhang Miao's words, Xiangmao finally burst out laughing. She laughed and shook her head and said: "Sure enough, you really have the qualities of a gentleman. The wind, the nature of bamboo, will not deceive me!"

She looked at Zhang Miao and explained: "Since you came, I have asked the community to verify your words, and received feedback from several community members, saying that you have a gentleman's style and a sincere character and temperament. He has superb medical skills and meticulous thinking, but he is open-minded and pure, and is not tainted by foreign things."

These complimentary words made Zhang Miao blush. Despite his shamelessness, he felt that these words were a bit excessive. How could he be so good?

Xiangmao continued: "After observing these days, you really deserve these comments. Others can lie to me, but what I see myself is that you treat those patients equally. You and I are both medicine spirits. Shapes are not human by nature, and I don’t force you to have compassion and kindness towards ordinary people. But you are really different. You don’t dislike all patients and have compassion for them. This is very commendable. .”

"Monks are the same as gods. Both regard ordinary people as a resource. Since it is a resource, it must be used and developed. Human life is not worth mentioning in their eyes. The death of ordinary people is, to them, It’s just a number, and as long as there aren’t too many deaths, they think it’s an acceptable loss.”

Xiangmao sighed deeply. She shook her head and said, "I think this is wrong. It is indeed true. We are indeed very different from ordinary people. It can even be said that we and ordinary people are two different species. But this is not The reason why we hurt them is that we don’t have to love them, but please don’t hurt them.”

"But look at the domineering King Liu Yan here. He doesn't take human life seriously at all. People only provide him with money and silk and provide him with samples of fear. What's the use of such gods? conscience?"

"The Water Goddess of Shuilong Bay was promoted back then. If she had been more ruthless, she would have directly flooded the Jiuqu Shiba Bay, setting off boundless floods here, and allowed Shuilong Bay to overflow, even if she would have killed tens of millions of ordinary people living here. But her promotion will definitely be successful, instead of going to the East China Sea and those hypocritical gods and snakes in the East China Sea."

"Her kindness killed herself. I once asked her that she didn't regret it, but she asked me why I wanted to establish Lemongrass House. I didn't know how to answer, but I also knew her answer."

"Some things will be successful, but it will be a loss of conscience. It doesn't matter if you have no conscience, but we have a conscience. If we fail because we have a conscience, and are laughed at and insulted, then it is not us who are wrong, but the whole world ."

"I can't change the world. I just hope to make the world a better place within my power."

Zhang Miao was greatly touched by Xiangmao's words. He stood up involuntarily, bowed deeply to Xiangmao, and said with admiration: "Sir, you are so righteous!"

Xiangmao smiled bitterly at Zhang Miao's words and said, "What's the use of high righteousness? After all, it's just an idiot's dream, an idiot's dream!" She stood up, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and walked away slowly.

Zhang Miao also understood her very well at this moment. A noble person will always live in pain if he refuses to join the others.

Xiangmao walked slowly to the door, she suddenly stopped, and then said: "Under the water of Shuilong Bay, you should be able to find his legacy with the Qingchi. If there is anything you can use in it, Just take it away." After she finished speaking, she disappeared out the door.

Zhang Miao got clues about the treasure, but he was not happy.He just sighed and went back to drinking.This time, the wine entered my heart, making the sweet rice wine seem extremely bitter...

The next day, Zhang Miao set out for Shuilong Bay.Among the nine bends and eighteen bays, Shuilong Bay is at the center. It faces the East China Sea to the east and is surrounded by lush thatched tidal flats to the north and south. Here, at least [-] kitchen households live.

The water surface of Shuilong Bay is calm. Since it is a "bay", it is naturally a sunken land. The sunken bay allows the sea water to reverberate here. There are many kinds of fish, large and small. In fact, the kitchen households who cook salt here occasionally go to the sea to fish. .It's just that the land in Jiuqu Shibawan is barren and saline, and there isn't even half a usable tree.Without trees, there would naturally be no shipbuilding industry. The fishing boats here are super rare goods.

Here, everyone is guarding the rich coast, but they can't get any benefits.

Zhang Miao flew over Kowloon Bay, then took a deep breath and plunged into the water.There is a river in Shuilong Bay that flows into the East China Sea. This river is the real Water God's Mansion in Shuilong Bay. The East China Sea outside Shuilong Bay belongs to the God of the Sea.

After getting into the river, Zhang Miao took out half of Qingchi and started swimming in the river.He didn't know where the relic was, so he could only rely on this stupid method to find it inch by inch. Fortunately, the river was not a big river, and he could always find it if he took some time.

The river is not deep in winter, except for the depth at the entrance to the sea. The further inland, the shallower the river becomes.Gradually, Zhang Miao reached the frozen river.He also did not walk under the water, but came to the surface of the river.

At this time, a man was cutting ice to get water on the river, and he saw Zhang Miao coming from the river.He looked Zhang Miao up and down.

"Young man! Where are you from? How come I haven't seen you before?" the man asked him.

"Come from the city and take a look around here." Zhang Miao also replied.

"Oh! I'm a foreigner. Can you lend a hand and help me take out this piece of ice?" the man suddenly asked.

"No problem!" Zhang Miao was also willing to help others. When he came to the ice cave, he saw that a large ice floe had been cut open.He didn't hesitate and squatted down directly. Not afraid of the cold ice, he grabbed the ice and pulled it out with force.

"What a young man! What a great strength!" The man praised with a smile, and then asked Zhang Miao to put the ice cubes on his trolley.He tied the ice cubes with thatch rope, and then said to Zhang Miao: "Young man, you have helped me a lot, and I have nothing to thank you for. This bead was fished out of the water when I was cutting the ice." Yes, I’ll give it to you to play with.”

When Zhang Miao heard this, he was about to refuse.Suddenly, the Qingchi in his arms glowed slightly, which made him slightly stunned, but he did not say any words of refusal.

And this man had already stuffed the beads into Zhang Miao and pushed the cart away...
