Chapter 532 The Snowy Country

"Oh! It's finally here. I don't know how long I've slept on the plane." As the plane gradually came to a stop, Xiao Fan stood up and stretched, all his bones accompanied him. The movement made a sound like "crackling", and Shu Chang and others who were sitting on the side also took off the blindfolds on their heads, and slowly woke up from their sleep; a group of people followed other passengers to get off the plane go.

Xiao Fan turned on his phone and looked at the time. It was past ten o'clock in the evening. He originally thought it would be dark when he got out of the plane, but when he got out of the plane, the sun was shining in the sky. A ray of bright sunlight hit his face directly, making Xiao Fan quite A little caught off guard, it was only at this moment that he realized that he had already gone abroad and arrived in the northern hemisphere with a different time difference. It was really impossible to know the world and the day and night after sleeping.

Although it was a sunny day, the cold wind after getting off the plane still made Xiao Fan tremble a little. He quickly put on the down jacket that Shu Chang had prepared for him in advance, and he became warm instantly. Only then did I have the thought to get off the plane while looking at the scenery of Terdam.

The whole area of ​​Tedan is covered with snow, both the nearby airport hall and the residential buildings in the distance are covered by thick snow; Xiao Fan didn't feel it when he got off the plane and stepped on the concrete floor of the airport, because the The snow has been swept away by the airport staff, but when he walked out of the airport with a group of people, he immediately felt the traces of the heavy snow when he stepped out. His own feet fell into the heavy snow, almost below the knees. No go in.

As for Xiaomu's little girl, she is used to walking behind Xiao Fan's buttocks, but now that Xiao Fan stepped on her front foot, she followed her back foot, but her little girl was not as lucky as Xiao Fan, almost the whole body The body was buried in the heavy snow, causing everyone to burst into laughter, and even the surrounding passengers couldn't help laughing.Xiaomu was angry and ashamed, and his cute appearance made people laugh even more.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan quickly turned around and picked up the little wooden girl in the snow, and placed it on the snow-swept sidewalk: "When we get to Terdan, let's just follow the path that can be seen, the ghost knows how the snow will end. How thick."

"Xiao Fan, you don't know. Before we came to Terdan, it had snowed heavily for more than ten days. It was only at the airport that someone would clear the snow. If it was a residential area in the city, the residents at this time basically They don’t come out for activities. Basically, there is thick snow everywhere. Let’s go to the hotel as soon as possible. With such thick snow, our clothes and pants will get wet within a few steps. If we don’t change clothes in time, I’m afraid it will Frostbite." Before Shu Chang came, it can be said that he had put in a lot of work, and he raised his hand to stop two taxis and headed towards the hotel.

Sitting in a taxi, there is no need to worry about where to step on the next step. Xiao Fan and others just need to sit in the heated car and enjoy the scene outside the car window; The scenery is different. I'm used to seeing green mountains and green waters. Seeing the scenes of whiteness everywhere, Xiao Fan feels miraculous everywhere he sees.Moreover, in this country, taxis have their own special driving lanes, and the roads for ordinary residents next to them are mainly dog ​​sleds or electric sleds.

Huskies, which can be seen everywhere in China, are genuine sled dogs here, and can be seen everywhere, but there is another strange thing, that is, all the local residents here don't wear thick clothes, and some of them just wear a single piece of clothing. The last light coat was wrapped around his body, so thinly worn, it didn't seem to be cold at all.Compared with Xiao Fan and others sitting in the car, they seemed to come from the North Pole.

"Why don't they feel cold in such clothes?" Elder Jing, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, was obviously also very curious, so he couldn't help but ask.At this time, the local driver spoke. The driver was the guide and translator invited by Shu Chang, so he understood and could speak some Chinese: "You don't know that? There is a mountain in Tedan called Amu There is a strange tree growing on the sacred mountain of Tesi Mountain. The branches of the tree are like iron hooks. The tree will grow green leaves every winter, which is completely different from other trees withered in winter. We People here like to use the leaves of this tree as raw materials instead of down to stuff them into the padded jacket, so that the clothes can keep warm and look good!"

"There is such a miraculous thing in this world." Jing Lao sighed, and Xiao Fan who was sitting in the back responded with a smile: "I don't know what this thing is called in Terdan, but if I remember correctly, Our ancestors actually recorded it, called Zhu Yu, who lived on the North Sea and Beishan all the year round. It not only keeps warm, but the fruit it produces in spring can also satisfy the hunger. It is one of the indispensable things for ancient people, but in China it has been It’s been a long time since there was such a thing, and I didn’t expect to see clothes made of this thing in Terdan.”

"In fact, the development of Chinese medicine focuses on the harmony of yin and yang in the human body, and the same is true for nature." Jing Lao extended the topic and said with a sigh: "Man, nature, and everything in the world must pay attention to a balance and harmony. The herbs used in Chinese medicine come from Nature can save lives. But human beings do not know how to be grateful to nature. Instead, they intensify the destruction of the environment, resulting in the gradual disappearance of many precious herbs and many rare animals. As a result, many pharmacies left by the ancestors are like a piece of waste paper. Those treasures are all useless, and I feel that it is a pity that there is no possibility of rebirth in the future, what a pity!"

"Are you Chinese medicine?" The taxi driver was slightly taken aback when he heard Jing Lao's words: "In the past, Chinese medical circles used western medicine to come, why did you let Chinese medicine come this year?" Although the taxi driver was not from Huaxia , but when he mentioned Chinese medicine, he seemed to know something about it, but Xiao Fan could hear some prejudice against Chinese medicine from his disliked tone.

"Why, do you think Chinese medicine is not good?" Xiao Fan asked the taxi driver indifferently.

The taxi driver was quite polite, smiled and said: "I'm telling you the truth, don't be unhappy, after all, you are also my guests, let me tell you, you are here to attend the International Medical Exchange Conference in Tedam. They are all well-known western doctors, and the number of Nobel Prize winners can’t be counted on one finger. If you really want to win any honor, you should let your western doctors come, Chinese medicine, no.”

"There should be no Chinese medicine in your country? Have you ever been in contact with Chinese medicine? Why do you say that Chinese medicine is not good?" Mr. Jing was a little unhappy when he heard the driver's words. With such prejudices, it is impossible for Mr. Jing to feel comfortable.After all, Chinese medicine is something he has devoted his whole life to.

"Although there is no Chinese medicine in our country, our Western medicine will introduce Chinese medicine to us when we do health science popularization. With all due respect, your Chinese medicine is really unhygienic and unscientific, and even a little scary." The driver frowned. He frowned and said, "Think about it, there are all kinds of messy herbs on this mountain, how can you know that they can be eaten by people just by looking at them?"

"The medicine given by western medicine, isn't its ingredients extracted from nature?" Jing Lao said unconvincedly, but an old man is like a child, constantly arguing with others for his beloved things.The driver shook his head when he heard Jing Lao's words and said: "It's different. Western medicine extracts relevant ingredients to make medicine. It is a scientific experiment, which is a deep analysis and understanding of plant ingredients. But your Chinese medicine does not have any equipment. , It depends on people, how can one mouth tell the ingredients and effects of quasi-drugs."

"This is a treasure left by our ancestors. Naturally, it is not a random talk. I will not argue with you, but why do you say that Chinese medicine is a bit scary? Chinese medicine pays attention to the harmony of yin and yang in the human body, and never messes around. How can it be possible?" It will be scary, but what we Chinese medicine advocates is gentleness, take your time and progress gradually!" Jing Lao said unconvinced.

The driver smiled and said: "But I heard that your Chinese medicine practitioners often ask patients to use cupping jars, that is, to burn people with fire; also, when our western medicine is doing science popularization, we are still unscientific Chinese medicine practitioners like you. I like to prick people with needles. Of course, this good disease needs to be cured with medicine. How can it be cured by pricking it twice with a few iron needles? This is too unscientific."

The driver's words made Mr. Jing speechless. At this moment, Mr. Jing Zhonghan really realized that foreigners' ignorance of Chinese medicine is a bit too ignorant; There was also intentional publicity by Western medicine. Even though Mr. Jing wanted to tell the driver a thousand things in his heart at this time, he swallowed them all back in his stomach. He just shook his head with a wry smile and didn't say anything more.

This kind of silence lasted until the driver put everyone in front of the hotel, Xiao Fan finally couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Jing, this driver has such a deep prejudice against Chinese medicine, why don't you tell him."

"It's useless to say it, and it's impossible to really change his view of Chinese medicine from the bottom of his heart." Jing Lao shook his head and said, "Many people really have a deep misunderstanding of Chinese medicine."

"In fact, Chinese medicine does not have so many advantages over western medicine, but it is not as useless as western medicine belittles. In fact, both Chinese medicine and western medicine have advantages and disadvantages." Xiao Fan smiled and looked Jing Lao said: "The reason why Chinese medicine cannot develop is because of the development of the times and science, people are more keen to believe in science; if Chinese medicine does not have a dark horse like me, if you say that you and I have left in the future , for a while no one can take on the role we are taking on now, then western medicine will soon overwhelm traditional Chinese medicine, this is the trend.”

"Yes!" Jing Lao also nodded and said: "So we must emphasize the development of the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, take Chinese medicine as the foundation and then supplement it with Western medicine, and let Western medicine scientifically transform the inappropriate and outdated parts of Chinese medicine. The real process of the development of post-medicine. Instead of blindly abandoning Chinese medicine or some people in our current Chinese Medicine Association blindly advocating abandoning Western medicine. These are all wrong. On this matter, I have the same point of view as you at the time, but we must It is not an easy task to let other people, especially Western doctors abroad, understand this truth."
