Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 238: Medicine King

Xia Lin had just finished dinner with the little princess. He was too lazy to go out in this hot weather, so he leaned in the yard, lit the mugwort incense, and browsed his phone while enjoying the evening breeze.

"Brother Daosheng, you look at that paperweight every day, and it's closer to you than looking at me."

The little princess brought some tea and placed it next to him: "I wonder what you are looking at."

Xia Lin raised his eyes and glanced at her, then glanced at the topic on the screen: "Teaching you how to create an economic crisis step by step", and then put down the phone: "Comprehend the great way."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and figure it out. I was thinking of asking you to go to town with me, but it seems like we won't have that chance. Alas, it's your fault that you're always working hard during the day. There's really nothing I can do."

As soon as this woman got married, her whole mental outlook became completely different. Normally, the little princess would never say such shady words and would just do whatever she was told to do. But after the wedding, just a few days later, her face of wanting to turn the tables was exposed.

"What are you talking about? I'm not going out with my girlfriend." Xia Lin turned over and sat up: "If you ask me, don't learn those tricks from Qiu He. Don't you see who your husband is fighting with? Do you think you can use these little tricks on me?"

The little princess pouted and said, "Oh my, my, my, my, it's only been a few days since we got married and it's already like this. I can't believe how much I'll have to swallow my grievances in the future."

Xia Lin was too lazy to talk to him, so he grabbed it, pressed it on his leg and started spanking her butt, making the little princess scream. However, the more she screamed, the more itchy it became and the muddier the soil became. Seeing that they were about to use the stick technique, Qiu He and Tian En walked over quickly.

"Come back later and play again." Tian En called out, "You are amazing. You don't even know how to be discreet in this yard."

"What's wrong? I married my wife in a formal ceremony, and my father-in-law bought the house. It's not against the law of heaven." Xia Lin didn't feel embarrassed when he saw Tian En. Instead, he lowered his head and kissed the little princess on the buttocks: "Why not?"

"Of course you can, of course you can, but now is not the time. Sun Simiao, the Medicine King, has come and happened to meet His Majesty. His Majesty asked you to go and greet him."

"Ouch."

Xia Lin quickly put the little princess down: "Go, go, go, hurry up, this is an important person."

How to say it, it is no exaggeration to say that Medicine King is a living god of this era. It is said that he can live for another 70 years at his current age. He is a top boss. Although his specialty is different, such a person is still worthy of being welcomed with open arms.

Xia Lin quickly straightened her clothes and pinched the little princess' waist: "I'll deal with you when I come back."

"Who is afraid of whom!"

"Okay, okay!" Xia Lin nodded repeatedly: "Just wait!"

After saying that, he hurriedly followed Tian En. On the way, Tian En gave him a meaningful look and said, "Boy, you are still young. Don't waste yourself on women. I, an old eunuch, have seen too many people who have wasted their bodies on wine, sex, money and anger. Most of them were heroes and strong men in their youth, but in the end they became haggard and accomplished nothing."

"It's just a hobby, it can't be elevated to that level." Xia Lin chuckled, "Oh, by the way, Oban, I want to ask you something."

"You said."

"Just say, have you adopted a son from outside?"

Tian En pursed his lips, but did not hide it: "I don't have a son, but I have a nephew, what's the matter?"

"Let him come to my place." Xia Lin did not hide anything: "If he is the offspring of Otomo, I must find a way to make him rich."

Tian En had a smile on his face, but he waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it, he is dull and can't stand the overwhelming wealth, it will cost him his life."

"It's all right, Otomo. You can trust me to do the job. You've taken good care of me from the beginning, how could I harm you? Here's my plan. When Otomo's nephew comes, I'll let him run a glass factory specializing in glass Buddha treasures. This technology is unique in the world. I'll give him this technology so that even if Otomo passes away, he can still keep his family alive."

When Tian En heard his words, he couldn't help laughing. He slapped him with the dust in his hand and said, "Boy, if others dare to speak like this, I will just glare at them and they will be as quiet as a cicada. But you come up and curse me?"

"Oh, those people are just flattering me. I am serious about solving your problem. How can that be the same? It is said that flowers do not last forever. If one day, Otomo is really in poor health, will those bastards in the palace let you go? If they can't get you, will they let your family go?"

When Tian En heard this, his eyes became fierce and his face became more serious: "That's true. If there really comes a day like that, those evil bastards will definitely suck my marrow out of me. Alas... Life in this world is difficult, so difficult."

"What's the problem? Just get it and give him a Liulichang. What's the problem?" Xia Lin waved his hand: "It's better to have it yourself than to have it by your parents, Daban."

"Well, I'll go back and think about it."

As for what Tian En's final choice will be, that is his business and Xia Lin will not interfere. If he really lets his nephew come, then Xia Lin will fulfill his promise. If he lets him come, then that is his own business.

There is a saying that goes "Do your best and leave the rest to fate." Don't force anything, and your life will be fulfilled.

The two of them arrived at the town. At this moment, Medicine King Sun was feeling the pulse of His Majesty, shaking his head as he felt the pulse. When Xia Lin went over, he heard the old man say to Emperor Hong Bao: "Three years, I can give you another three years at most. If you add it up, you may only have three or four years left."

If it were any other doctor, taking the emperor's pulse would tell him that his majesty's throne was healthy and everything would be fine, and prescribing a tonic medicine, which wouldn't harm anyone anyway. But only Sun Simiao prescribed a strong medicine for Emperor Hongbao, hoping to prolong his life for a few more years. But even this god-like figure could only keep Emperor Hongbao alive for another three years. You can imagine how far Emperor Hongbao has come.

"Three years... Three years is three years." Emperor Hongbao chuckled: "Even though we are reluctant to leave this world, in the end, it is all in vain. Forget it, I have no regrets in this life."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xia Lin, and then said to Sun Simiao: "This is the boy who asked you to come."

"Boy, you haven't met the Medicine King yet!"

Xia Lin went up to him and flattered him in every possible way, causing Sun Simiao to twirl his beard and smile. Then he raised his eyebrow and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Xia Lin didn't know what to say next, so he could only put his hands on the table in confusion. Sun Simiao took his pulse and asked with a smile, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

"Of course, it's to cure diseases and save lives. I plan to set up a medical school, and practice medicine while farming. Then the population will naturally increase. With a larger population, there will be more taxes. With more taxes, the city will be bigger. With a bigger city, there will be more people. Then I can continue to reclaim wasteland and farm. I can farm land to the ends of the earth. Then I can think of ways to develop medicine, so that people can live longer, the neonatal mortality rate can be lowered, and mothers don't have to go through the gates of hell when giving birth. As for other things, I don't plan to make money from this. It doesn't make much money, and it's tiring."

Sun Simiao's face flushed with laughter when he heard Xia Lin talking there, while Emperor Hongbao kept making eye contact with Xia Lin, but it was difficult to remind him. Because this divine doctor Sun actually had a quirk, that is, no matter what celebrity, noble, or aristocrat he was facing, if he didn't say something to his satisfaction, he would get up and leave. Not to mention, even the emperor of Emperor Hongbao's generation had suffered a lot of humiliation from the divine doctor Sun. When he was young and didn't believe in Buddhism, he was even so angry with Sun Simiao that he turned over the table.

Now listening to Xia Lin's nonsense, he was really anxious. After all, who doesn't want the Medicine King to come out of the mountain? The road from Jiangnan Road to Jinling City is much closer than Mount Zhongnan, right?

"Then if one day you refine a pill that can revive the dead, what will you do?"

"How could such a thing exist? We should be more realistic and not dream about it. And even if it does exist, I will immediately post the formula all over the floor so that anyone can make it."

"Oh?" Sun Simiao was curious: "Why?"

Xia Lin sat there thinking for a moment, smacking his lips, "I'm not short of money, why should I risk my life for this thing? Besides, if you have it, I have it, and everyone has it, then it won't do any harm except making everyone live longer. Right?"

Sun Simiao burst into laughter, but his hand had not yet left Xia Lin's arm. He asked a third question: "There was a major epidemic this year, and the court ordered that all people and animals in the affected villages be burned. If it were you, what would you do?"

"In the middle of the year? In summer? The epidemic will come with water, rats, and mosquitoes. There is no need to burn everything. Livestock should be burned and buried, and feces and urine should be stored in lime pits. Patients should be separated in batches to prevent rat infestation. Lime should also be sprinkled in sewage to remove eggs, mosquitoes, and flies. Eat cooked water and food, keep clean, and those who apply medicine should cover their faces with gauze and cotton and clean their hands with strong liquor. There is no disease in the world that can kill all the people in a place. There is only one disease that can kill people completely, and that is called panic disease. If it is a large-scale malaria, you can use the rhizomes of Artemisia annua to soak strong liquor until the liquor is emerald green. It has a miraculous effect when taken."

Xia Lin's words shocked Sun Simiao: "Hmm? Who is your teacher?"

"Barefoot Doctor's Manual!"

This sentence actually made Dr. Sun laugh: "A manual? Can you show it to me when you have time?"

"I'll ask someone to get it right now."

The only person who could shout was Tian En, but he was not dissatisfied. It was his job. Soon, the barefoot doctor's manual that Xia Lin had copied was handed to the King of Medicine.

He was a Taoist priest, and what he practiced was to follow his heart. Even though the emperor was right next to him, he could still read the manuscript as if no one was around.

He read it in at a glance, and even told Emperor Hongbao to go back and rest early, saying something like "I won't keep you company, you go back and rest by yourself, and don't drink, not even a drop."

Emperor Hongbao was also quite helpless. Facing such a person, he had no way to deal with him. He could only sigh and get up to leave.

But who would have thought that when Xia Lin whispered something in Doctor Sun's ear, the Medicine King looked up at him and said, "You are so young and vigorous, what do you need that medicine for?"

"Competitive!"

The Medicine King chuckled, leaned close to his ear and whispered a prescription, then coughed, "Grind it into powder, mix it with sheep oil to make a one-cent pill, and swallow it a moment before the event."

"Okay! Thank you, Lord Medicine King!"

"Don't overdo it. Medicine is poisonous."

Xia Lin happily planned to get one to try later, but at this moment, Emperor Hong Bao could see his distracted mind, so he waved his hand impatiently: "Go away first, I will chat with the Medicine King for a while."

"Then I'll leave first." Xia Lin quickly stood up, grinned, and left stealthily.

After he left, Emperor Hongbao asked curiously, "Why did you ask him those three questions?"

"Original intention, character, and compassion." Sun Simiao raised his head. "Virtue is manifested in the body. When the heart is guilty, the pulse is weak; when it is deceiving, the pulse is short and flat; when it is murderous, the pulse is rapid and rushing. When I asked him those three questions just now, his pulse obviously became tough and strong. This is the pulse of a settled mind. It means that what he said is what he thought. What he thought and what he thought are combined into one. What comes from the heart will be manifested in the body. If he is deceiving and fooling around, even if you are here, I will get up and leave."

Sun Simiao smiled and raised the book in his hand. "This is a rare book. I have to go back and study it. We'll meet again tomorrow."

After saying this, he no longer cared about Emperor Hongbao. He stood up and strolled with Dong Niang to the resting place prepared for him.

"Hey... this old guy."

Emperor Hongbao cursed with a smile, then sat there and asked for a cup of tea: "But he is really a god."

"Your Majesty, that kid is also a god." Tian En reminded.

"Yes, he is also a god. Over the years, there are very few people who can make this old guy smile, and even fewer who can pass his test. The last one was Xu Shiji, who was taken in as an apprentice by the pharmacist. I remember that the age difference between them is not that big, right?"

"They look about five or six years older."

"After all, heroes emerge from youth. When I was young, that old thief said that I had evil intentions. I also have evil intentions."

Tian En wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. At that time, Emperor Hongbao was indeed picked up by Lord Yaowang. He didn't expect that he would remember this for half his life. It was really interesting.

After sitting for a while, Emperor Hongbao also strolled back to rest.

Xia Linze sat beside the bed of the pharmacy manager, and he kept asking him to get up at night to prepare medicine for him. This was thanks to his high reputation here. If it was someone else... he would have been scolded to death.

"Master Xia, you are so strong and vigorous, why do you need this medicine? This medicine is for people in their forties, huh? There are some things in this prescription that I have never seen before, and the medicinal materials are quite precious."

"You can just take the King of Medicine's prescription and prepare it secretly, and don't tell anyone else."

The pharmacy manager's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned back to look at Xia Lin: "Master Xia, please don't lie to me."

"Am I a liar? Stop talking nonsense and get it out quickly. I have to fight a bloody battle on SH Beach tonight!"
