A doctor who travels through two eras

Lin Sanqi pointed out the location of the Qin Terracotta Army, which will surely be recorded in history.

In future historical records, the first person to discover the Terracotta Army was Comrade Lin Sanqi, Vice Minister of Health, Executive Deputy Commissioner of Fushan Special District, Secretary of Bao'an County, and Director of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital.

When future generations see this long list of unrelated titles, and then think that an outsider actually discovered this world wonder, it will be incredibly ridiculous, enough to make a lot of tourists laugh.

Thinking of this, Lin Baiyi, who was in a great mood, couldn't resist his wicked sense of humor and looked at Village Chief Yang beside him:
"Village Chief Yang, is there a farmer named Yang Zhifa in your village?"

Village Chief Yang looked puzzled, but nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Yang Zhifa is my third brother, he's here..."

Village Chief Yang glanced around at the crowd of onlookers, then pointed in one direction:
"The one over there wearing a white short-sleeved shirt is Yang Zhifa."

If this were a fantasy novel, you would see that the once-powerful red aura above Yang Zhifa's head has slowly disappeared, and his good fortune has vanished completely.

According to the normal historical record, it was around 1974 that Shaanxi Province experienced a severe drought, and Xiyang Village organized the villagers to dig wells together in an attempt to combat the drought.

Then, Yang Zhifa and two other farmers were grouped together and found a spot to dig a well.

As for whether water will come out, that depends on the weather. After all, this isn't Lin Sanqi's Changping Farm. Back then, there was no high-tech water-finding equipment, so they could only dig blindly.

At that time, Yang Zhifa casually drew a circle on the ground and said to his two companions: Let's dig around here and see if we can find water.

At the time, the villagers were curious and asked why this place was chosen.
Yang Zhifa explained that there used to be a persimmon tree here that grew very lushly with many dense leaves, making it look as if there was plenty of water underground.

The three of them immediately got to work, picking up shovels and digging down into the soil.

After digging about four or five meters deep, Yang Zhifa felt as if his pickaxe had been bumped by something. He mustered his courage, jumped into the pit, and reached out to scrape off the yellow soil on top.

When I touched it, I found a lump of mud that looked like a human head.

This is the first time that the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang has been discovered.

But since it was discovered by three farmers together, why does the history book only record Yang Zhifa's name?

That's because the first thing unearthed from the Terracotta Army was a head, with jet-black hair, a rosy face, and bright black eyes, looking almost exactly like a real person, incredibly lifelike.

However, the color of the unearthed clay figure faded quickly, which made the already terrified villagers feel as if they had encountered a real ghost.

At that time, someone actually suggested taking the head of the terracotta figurine home and placing it on the stove in their kitchen for worship, since no one wanted to offend the gods.

Yang Zhifa had served in the army before, so he had some knowledge and was a materialist. He didn't have any supernatural ideas in his mind, so he felt that it must be some kind of cultural relic.

So he loaded the pottery figurine fragments he had dug up one after another onto a handcart and took them directly to the Lintong Cultural Center to have them appraised by experts.

Upon arriving at the cultural center, Yang Zhifa handed the fragments to Zhao Kangming, the center's director.

Zhao Kangming spent three whole months patiently piecing together the fragments of the terracotta warrior, repairing and mending them until he finally created a complete warrior terracotta figure.

Therefore, many people later mistakenly believed that Zhao Kangming was the first person to discover the Terracotta Army, but this is incorrect. Yang Zhifa, a farmer from Xiyang Village, was the first discoverer.

Later, the county gave Yang Zhifa a bonus of 30 yuan, which at the time was equivalent to almost two months' salary for an average worker.

As a result, Yang Zhifa was too timid and felt that the 30 yuan was too hot to handle and the amount was too huge, so he took the initiative to hand over the 30 yuan bonus to the production team.

To commend Lao Yang, the production team leader gave him an extra five work points, which amounted to a reward of one cent and thirty cents.

Thus, Yang Zhifa, the first person to discover the eighth wonder of the world, ultimately received a prize of only 13 cents.

Yang Zhifa's good fortune didn't end until 1998, when US President Richard Lamb visited China. His first stop was Xi'an, and he immediately went to visit the Terracotta Army at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor after getting off the plane.

Looking at these incredibly magnificent treasures, Zipperton suddenly said he wanted to meet the first person who unearthed the Terracotta Army.

Shaanxi Province quickly contacted Yang Zhifa, who was farming at home, and arranged for him to meet with the US President.

When Kelin met this simple farmer from Shaanxi Province, he was very happy and even offered to have Yang Zhifa sign his name as a souvenir.

It was through this incident that Yang Zhifa truly rose to fame.

Later, Yang Zhifa became the honorary curator of the Qin Terracotta Warriors Museum, coming to the museum every day to clock in, sign autographs, and take photos with tourists. Of course, each autograph and photo cost a certain amount of money, which tourists had to pay for. Yang Zhifa, in his old age, finally made a fortune.

Now that Yang Zhifa's good fortune has been taken away by Lin Sanqi, Lin Sanqi feels somewhat embarrassed and wants to make amends to this poor farmer.

“Village Chief Yang, call your younger brother Yang Zhifa over. I see that he has extraordinary talent and will surely achieve great things in the future.”

Village Chief Yang was full of questions. He wondered how he could not tell what his younger brother looked like. He couldn't even get a temporary job at the sewing machine factory next door. How could he possibly amount to anything?
"Fa-zai, come here."

(Wait, what the heck? This is Shaanxi Province, not Huadu. How could it be called Fa Zai? Let's try again.)
Okay, let's start again: "Third brother, come here, the big boss has something to ask you."

Yang Zhifa was a little puzzled, but he was very obedient and ran over quickly:

"Brother, are you looking for me?"

"Hey, you idiot, this is Commissioner Lin looking for you. Just answer whatever he asks, and give a proper reply."

Lin Sanqi quickly waved her hand, looked at the thin man with wide eyes, and patted his shoulder apologetically:

"Comrade Yang Zhifa, hello, hello. Don't be nervous. I feel like we've known each other forever. I just wanted to ask if you have any difficulties at home, and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Lin Sanqi actually wanted to give him 30 yuan, but then she thought, what if he thought it wasn't enough? So she gave him a chance to make a wish.

Yang Zhifa had served in the army, and he understood better what the two golden branches and one star on his epaulets represented—something he looked up to.

Upon hearing Lin Sanqi's question, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Startled, Lin Sanqi hurriedly returned the salute, showing the utmost respect to the veteran whose luck she had stripped away.

"Reporting to the commander, I have no requests; I cannot accept rewards without merit."

Upon hearing this, a woman nearby became agitated and kept waving her hand, signaling Yang Zhifa to make his demands.

Yang Zhifa pretended not to see it.

Lin Sanqi sighed. Rural life in the 1960s was truly hard. Not having enough to eat was the norm. How could there not be difficulties?

So Lin Sanqi walked directly up to the middle-aged woman and asked:

"Comrade, are you a family member of Yang Zhifa?"

The middle-aged woman was also willing to take the plunge and nodded directly, saying, "My fourth wife, my name is Wang Juan."

Lin Sanqi squeezed the cash in his pocket and asked with a smile, "You're his wife, so you have the right to make a request on his behalf. Go ahead and say it."

Wang Juan glanced at her husband, whose face was ashen, and bravely stated her demands:

"Sir, my youngest son's leg is rotting. I was wondering if you could give us some medicine. If we don't treat it soon, my youngest son will die."

Lin Sanqi blinked, thinking that he might not be able to meet other requests from this woman, but when it came to healing and saving lives, he was a professional.

"Where is your youngest son? I'll go check on him."

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Yang and Yang Zhifa became enraged and began to hurl insults at Wang Juan:

"How high-ranking is Commissioner Lin? Even our county magistrate would salute him. Would he really go out of his way to treat a country bumpkin like you? How dare you say such a thing?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Juan, with tears streaming down her face, stubbornly retorted:

"What? I just want to save my child. I would kneel before the big leader and die without complaint so that my child can live. Cadre Lin, please save my little one."

Lin Sanqi knew she shouldn't laugh, but she just couldn't help it.

Listening to these Xi'an people speak, the image of Tong Xiangyu, the shopkeeper, kept flashing through his mind; he was completely brainwashed. (End of Chapter)
