Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 43 Entering August
Lightning-struck iron birch double sticks?

Fangyan took the pair of black wooden sticks and suddenly felt a heaviness in his hands. These things looked like wood and felt like wood, but they were as heavy as iron rods.

After swinging it a few times, Fangyan slammed it together, making a dull collision sound, like two stones hitting each other.

Everything indicates that its density is very high.

Fangyan remembered that his master had just said that the iron birch was used by the Soviets to make bearings. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have read an article about trees in his previous life, and it seemed to be talking about this kind of tree.

I can't remember the specific details, but I just remember that this tree is harder than ordinary steel, and it will not float when soaked in water. Even if it is soaked in water for a long time, its internal structure can remain dry. It is the hardest tree found in the world.

Mr. Lu also said just now that this thing can withstand being hacked by knives and chopped by axes. It seems to be really hard.

Moreover, this is lightning-struck wood. After being struck by lightning, this kind of wood not only does not lose its hardness, but instead turns it into black. This carbonization can extend its service life.

In addition, according to Taoism, wood struck by lightning is the essence of the combination of yin and yang electricity of heaven and earth. The wood struck by lightning has the effect of warding off evil.

Although this is not jujube wood, Fang Yan can feel that the pair of short sticks in his hands have a special smell, which is particularly pure. Just smelling it makes people feel calm. Although he doesn't know the principle, Fang Yan immediately fell in love with this pair of short sticks.

"Try it and see if it works well." Mr. Lu said to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan nodded, walked into the yard with a short stick, and then began to perform the moves that Mr. Lu had just taught him in the yard.

Although this pair of short sticks is heavier than the previous one, they are very thin and their original color is black, making them even more difficult to detect visually. When Fangyan put them into his sleeves, the outline of the two sticks was not as obvious as before.

If he wore thicker clothes, you wouldn't be able to see the short stick hidden underneath.

Fangyan then used the three moves he had made before: point, poke, and block. These three moves were used for sneak attacks. The previous stick was not quite suitable for his hand, and he felt it would be better if it was thinner. The current stick perfectly met his requirements.

The use of dialect makes it more covert and the sneak attack more insidious.

He was very satisfied with this.

Fang Yan stopped what he was doing and bowed to Lu Donghua:
"It is indeed a good thing. It is very suitable for use. Thank you, Master!"

Lu Donghua nodded with a smile:

"As long as you like it!"

He now has fewer and fewer opportunities to use double sticks. Fangyan is obviously more suitable for this weapon. It is easy to carry and he is more flexible in using it than him.

Next, Lu Donghua warned Fangyan that unless they encountered a dangerous situation, it would be best not to use weapons. This thing would hurt people once it was used, and ordinary people would not be able to withstand a few hits.

Fangyan agreed. This thing was not originally used to deal with ordinary people. It was just that the outside world was not peaceful now and it was inevitable to encounter some scum of the society. Only when he had a weapon in his hand could he stay calm.

I definitely won't use it to bully others.

After getting Fangyan's response, Mr. Lu nodded with satisfaction, and then took out a Xingyi double-stick martial arts training notebook. It was a record of his insights when he was young, and he had been recording it for many years. He hoped that it would help Fangyan improve.

As for recording martial arts notes, it is a habit he developed from writing medical records as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. He reviews the old to learn new things, and sometimes by looking back at his previous ideas, he can find some new inspiration and his own shortcomings.

Fangyan thanked him again for accepting it and promised to read it carefully when he got back.

……

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In terms of martial arts, Fang Yan still practiced with Master Lu every day. Fang Yan found that although his practice experience was enhanced by the system, his actual combat experience was almost zero. So in this case, he was very eager to let the system enhance his actual combat, but after fighting with Master Lu many times, it still did not trigger. Instead, he was educated many times by Master Lu's rich actual combat experience.

I don’t know if it’s because Mr. Lu didn’t take this as an actual combat at all, so he didn’t trigger the system, or if it’s due to other reasons.

Fangyan is now waiting for his second brother to come back from Shandong, and then go to their martial arts team to find someone to fight with, to see if he can trigger it.

If the martial arts team doesn't work, he plans to fight with the nearby thugs.

Or he could do some underground boxing, as long as it could trigger the system's blessing, he could do it.

As for the man who practiced Mantis Fist, Fang Yan didn't see him coming to his house, and even his master wondered if he had given up.

But at this moment, a formal declaration of war was delivered to the Lu family, agreeing on a decisive battle on August 18th.

In terms of work, Tong Ren Tang has now changed its store manager, who was previously the deputy store manager of another branch.

This person is quite important because her last name is Le.

She is the legitimate descendant of the Le family brand of Tongrentang. She is about 28 years old this year. Unlike Wang Aiguo, she usually keeps a distance from strangers.

As soon as he arrived at the store, he set up a lot of rules and strictly enforced the somewhat lax discipline in the store.

At first, she was a little skeptical about Fang Yan's medical skills, but after witnessing Fang Yan's treatment, she became convinced and became much kinder to Fang Yan, the attending doctor.

In addition, the deputy store manager Liu Zude was discharged from the hospital a week ago. He is still as self-willed as ever, but his buttocks and thighs were injured, so he walks a little strangely and is often laughed at by children outside. Now he and the new store manager do not interfere with each other.

There are three new people in the store, who are also educated youth who have returned to the city like Fangyan and his friends. Now the store is almost saturated with staff.

As August begins, Dr. Lu’s consultation hours are coming to an end.

The new doctor, Gu Xiutang, will be here soon. He is said to be also from the Chinese Medicine Hospital, but he specializes in classical prescriptions, so Fangyan will see patients separately from him in the future.

Fangyan’s main focus is on acupuncture, which has quick effects, while Gu doctors are responsible for prescribing prescriptions.

It was just that when Mr. Lu mentioned this ancient doctor, he happened to mention that he did not like the other person's work style.

Fangyan didn't ask any further questions. He guessed that it was probably the conflict between the modern prescription school and the classical prescription school.

Otherwise, the two of them had some conflict in the past. Anyway, Old Lu has a stubborn temper, and if he meets someone as stubborn as him, it would be easy for him to get into a fight.

After talking about work, let’s talk about some miscellaneous matters.

The previous "Shenxian Huomingyin" was judged to be able to treat heat and toxic syndromes such as impetigo.

The effect is relatively fast.

However, its efficacy is similar to that of the Five Flavor Disinfection Drink in the "Golden Mirror of Medical Ancestral" in 1742, so its value is not judged to be irreplaceable. It is only because of its quick effect that it is priced at three hundred yuan.

After receiving the three hundred yuan, which was equivalent to seven and a half months' salary for Fangyan, Fangyan could neither say that he was satisfied nor that he was dissatisfied.

This amount of money was a lot for his salary, but it was only more than one month's salary when given to his father Fang Zhenhua. Fang Yan thought about it and finally made ten prescriptions and handed them over, saying that they were the prescriptions he saw from the Taoist priest when he went to the countryside. In fact, these were new prescriptions developed by the Japanese devils in later generations.

They can rob, steal and learn from China, and Fangyan feels that it is obviously reasonable for him to sell their future research results for money.
