html Tiansheng period of the Song Dynasty, there was a village in the south of Gaoping County, Pingyang Prefecture, called Liuxi Village. The villagers here are simple and hardworking, helping each other. There is a young man named Xue Li, who is twenty-two years old. He is young but is highly respected by the people of every village and household.
Speaking of Xue Li, there was a story about him, and it is still talked about by people.
Two years ago, the twenty-year-old Xue Li was already a well-known doctor. He did not often sit in the hall to practice medicine, but became a doctor who traveled around the countryside. Wherever he goes, he will go immediately as long as someone needs him.
When villagers in each village see Xue Li, they will shout, "Doctor Xue is here." Those who need treatment can quickly find him after hearing it.
Xue Li also has a rule in practicing medicine, that is, "the poor don't charge for treating diseases." Such a person is well-known as the kindness of a doctor.
Xue Li reduced his time in the hall and chose to practice medicine as an outsider, which also had his purpose. When he was 20 years old, his eyes were still invisible, and he walked out to find medicinal materials to cure his eyes.
In fact, Xue Li did not have eye disease at birth. He was born in the Xinglin family. The so-called Xinglin family means that the ancestors were all families of doctors. The Xue Family Medical Center is known to everyone in the ten miles of towns. By the generation of Xue Li's father Xue Cheng, he was the fifth generation of medical practice.
Xue Li was in such a family since she was a child, so she naturally came into contact with medical skills. In addition, the most common saying that Xue Cheng said when he educated Xue Li was: Doctors are kind and kind, save lives and help the wounded, and treat them fairly.
When he was seven years old, Xue Li came to the forest to catch butterflies. When he walked to a dense tree, he suddenly heard a "squeak" sound behind the tree. Driven by curiosity, he pushed aside the grass and saw a bird. The bird was wearing a bright feathered jacket, flashing with dazzling luster such as red, yellow, blue, and green, which was very beautiful.
The bird saw someone approaching and flapped its wings hard and wanted to escape, but no matter how hard it tried, it wouldn't fly. Xue Li could see at a glance that the bird's wings were injured.
He slowly approached and said softly, "Bird, you are injured. Today we have the fate to meet. I have learned some medical skills since elementary school. Can I treat you?"
The bird seemed to understand, and its wings stopped flapping and became quiet. Xue Li went up to check the injury and found that the bird had a slight fracture in its wings.
Xue Li said, "I came out to play and didn't bring any tools to fix them. What should I do? Otherwise..." After
said that, he turned around and picked up the branches falling behind him to fix the bird's wings, and pulled out his handkerchief to tie it tightly.
said to the bird: "Bird, I'll fix it simply. Now I'll take you back to my clinic and apply medicine. This way it will be good quickly."
said that, gently picked up the bird, put it in its own lunch box, and took it home.
The next few days, the bird received Xue Li's careful treatment and gradually recovered. Xue Li felt it was time to release the bird back to nature.
That day, he untied the bird's straps, took the bird to the yard, and said to the bird, "You have recovered, go home, see you again when we have the chance."
then threw the bird into the air, the bird hovered in the air, called Xue Li twice "squeak", and turned around and flew away.
The Xue family relies on their kind-hearted character and have a high prestige in Liuxi Village, and the poor in the village support them even more.
Because Xue's Medical Center has a regulation that no charges are charged for poor people who come to seek medical treatment, which brings hope to survive for those poor families. However, the Xue family, which had generations of good people, suffered a catastrophe one night.
That night, Xue Cheng's family of three were resting when suddenly he heard the family shouting outside: "It's a fire."
Xue Cheng hurriedly got up and woke up his wife Li next to him, "It's a fire. Get up quickly and leave the house. I'll go to save the wife."
After saying that, Xue Cheng rushed to Xue Li's room. At this time, the fire had spread and the thick smoke was even more rolling. The main fire point is close to Xue Li's room.
At this time, Xue Li woke up and found that it was noisy outside and was at a loss. In addition, his eyes were accidentally smoked and he cried in fear.
Xue Cheng found his son, picked him up and ran out the door, met with Li, confirmed that the mother and son were away from the fire, he rushed back to the clinic to get other important things.
There are books left by his ancestors in the museum. Most of these books are records of medical practice, and there are countless medicinal materials. More importantly, there is a book written by Xue Cheng, called "Why is a Doctor a Divine". In addition to recording the problems he encountered during his practice of medicine, and solutions, it also records a summary of his thoughts and ideas about how he improved his medical skills.
This book is planned to be given to his son as a gift when Xue Li comes to adulthood. It was precisely because of the importance of these things that Xue Chengcai rushed back without hesitation.
At this time, Li outside the door was very anxious. The master had been in for a long time and had not come out.
She said to her family: "My master has been in for a long time, I'm not relieved. Please take care of Li'er for me, I'll go in and take a look."
"Mom, it's dangerous inside. Waiting for Daddy here, Daddy will be safe." Xue Li, whose eyes were hurt, said worriedly.
Li said, "Mom, go and help me, and I will do more." After that, she looked at her family. "I've left the li'er to you."
"But Madam..." As soon as the family members said, Li rushed out. But before Li just entered, there was a loud bang and the clinic collapsed.
Xue Li's eyes were in such a great pain that he could no longer open. He heard the sound and asked his family: "Dad and mother are out?"
But the family cried: "The house collapsed before the master's wife came out." Xue Li burst into tears after hearing this.
Then, the village chief and some villagers rushed over. With everyone's cooperation, the fire gradually went out, but the scene was in a mess.
The night was too dark, and everyone could only take the injured person away first. The next day during the day, everyone found the body of Xue Li's parents in the ruins.
At this time, some women at the scene cried out. On weekdays, too many people have received the favors of Xue Cheng and his wife, and they feel very distressed.
The villagers only thought it was an accidental fire. In the following days, the villagers were busy and helped Xue Li handle the funeral of her parents.
Wait until the seventh day of the funeral banquet, a group of people wearing official uniforms came to the scene. The man in the leader had a stern body and a dignified appearance. His eyes shot at the cold stars and his eyebrows were as if they were painted. The village chief recognized at a glance that this was Xue Cheng's younger brother, Xue Li's second uncle Xue Qing.
The second uncle is the head of the Supreme Courtyard of Pingyang Mansion. He has never seen anyone outside for many years, so no one knows him.
Uncle II went to find his nephew Xue Li as soon as he got off. "Li'er, are you okay?" Uncle II asked softly.
"Second uncle, daddy and mother..." Xue Li started crying again before he finished speaking.
"It's okay, the second uncle is here." Then the second uncle checked Xue Li's condition and found that except for his eyes, there was nothing serious. He also thanked the people who were accompanying Xue Li.
Then he turned his head and said, "The fire in Xue's clinic was a man-made arson."
As soon as this was said, it was undoubtedly a blow. The villagers worked hard and simple all their lives, and they could see very few things, without scheming. They did not think too deeply about the cause of this incident. People began to whisper, but one of the people in the crowd twitched.
The village chief was shocked and said, "Xue Qing, what do you mean?"
Uncle said in a casual manner. On the night of the fire, he and several subordinates came to Mo Village to arrest people, which were dozens of miles away from here. The original plan was to return home to reminisce with his brother after the mission, but during the mission, he suddenly saw a red light in the direction of Liuxi Village, and he felt uneasy.
But the task is important, and it is the second day after the completion of the issue. The second uncle just stepped back to Liuxi Village, but saw that the Xue Clinic was burned to collapse. He also learned that his brother and sister-in-law had lost their lives and that his nephew was rescued by the villagers.
This made him very sad. After secretly confirming that his nephew was not in danger, he began to investigate the accidentality of the incident.
Uncle Er once smelled the faint smell of white phosphorus on the scene. The white phosphorus is a kind of thing that can spontaneously ignite. The second uncle clearly remembered that his brother told him that there are many types of medicinal materials in the museum, mostly dry and flammable, and he dare not be careless in fire prevention. He also made fun of his brother for being overly nervous, so the spontaneously ignited white phosphorus will never appear in the clinic.
This discovery attracted his attention. Then he asked his subordinates to divide into two groups, trying to find the fireman and check the brother's business affairs all the way to judge whether his brother had committed evil with others and was retaliated against by humans.
After investigation, the second uncle soon found the arsonist in a tavern. After the interrogation and combined with the information found, Uncle Er learned who the real murderer was behind it.
It turns out that Xue’s clinic originally stipulated that the poor can cure diseases for free. This move gave the poor a way to survive, but offended the Wang Medical Center, a competitor in the same village.
It became the only two clinics in the village with Xue’s Medical Center earlier. Wang Le, the current manager of Wang's clinic, is a real businessman. While he gained fame by being a high-ranking official and noble, he made his fortune by sucking the blood and sweat of the poor.
In theory, the poor are his parents who are fed and fed. But he charged too high the poor, and for a while, the poor complained and suffered a lot.
As a doctor, Xue Cheng couldn't see such a tragic situation and was determined to make new rules. Afterwards, the poor came to ask for help from the Xue family, causing the business of the Wang Family Medical Center to plummet.
Wang Le saw that the business showed no signs of improvement. He did not want to win people's hearts by improving his business methods, but as resentment accumulates, he became murderous. So one night, a torch burned the Xue Clinic.
The Xue Family Clinic was originally a compassionate act, but it turned the Xue Wang family from a competitive relationship to a hostile relationship, and gradually brought disaster to the Xue family.
Uncle 0After saying that, everyone looked at Wang Le one after another. Wang Le suddenly became the focus. He thought that no one knew about the plan, but the net of heaven was vast and unobstructed.
At this time, he wanted to argue a few words. Uncle's subordinates bet the man who was arranged to set fire, and took out the silver that Wang Le used to bribe, which had a mark for the Wang family on it. Wang Le was unable to defend himself and was detained on the spot.
After the funeral banquet, Xue Qing wanted to take Xue Li away so that he could protect him. But at this time, Xue Li was hit and was in a bad state. Especially when he saw things in a hazy way, he would cry after watching them for a long time. This situation should not be done at all.
The village chief immediately said: "My children are all out, and I am the only one in the family, so I will raise the children. You can rest assured that you can come back and see them when you have time. This will also repay the help of the Xue family for us over the years."
Hearing this, other villagers agreed in their hearts that they will take good care of Xue Li in the future. The second uncle then took Wang Le away and raided his house.
The Wang family withered overnight, leaving only the Wang family’s wife and children. But soon after, the mother and son also left Liuxi Village, and no one knew where they were going.
Some time has passed, Xue Li's injured eyes have suffered from eye disease due to failure to seek medical treatment, and she is also depressed.
The village chief and the villagers were anxious in their eyes and tried every day to comfort him, but he could not cheer up.
During these days and nights, Xue Li fell asleep normally. In his dream, he saw a phoenix with a huge body, sometimes flying up and soaring, sometimes falling and staying, which was so spectacular. Only when the phoenix was about to stop, Xue Li dared to approach.
The phoenix said, "Children, do you still remember the bird you saved?"
"What bird?" Xue Li was full of questions.
Phoenix continued: "The bird you saved was named Sunbird, it was my son." Xue Li recalled the little bird wearing colorful feathered clothes.
Phoenix said: "I sent him to pick spiritual medicine from the mountains, but because of his greed, his wings were hurt. You saved him. Today you suffered setbacks and your eyes were blind. But you don't have to be discouraged. This is a test given to you by God. I'm here to give you some guidance."
Xue Li said: "My eyes can't see, I don't know what to do? "
" To heal your eyes, you need Scrophularia , Guanfangfeng, Schisandra chinensis, and Lingyu. This feather is my feather, and the other three herbs grow in different directions. It takes time to search for them. You can try your best to find them. "Phoenix said again.
" Can it really be cured? "Xue Li said in surprise.
Phoenix said: "Yes, I will send you feathers when you are twenty years old. But during this period, you must improve your medical skills, carry forward the fine traditions of the Xue family, and be a kind and generous person. I will also let my sunbird be by your side to protect you. "
What else Xue Li wanted to say after hearing this, but he woke up in an instant and was puzzled by the content of the dream, but he could only hear the "squeak" sound around him.
At this time, the sun bird also turned into a human form and said, "Young Master, you took care of me, and I will take care of you in the future. "
Xue Li was shocked when she heard this, and still spoke, "Bird, thank you. "It was not until this time that he was sure that what he saw and heard in his dream was true.
Days passed day by day, Xue Li slowly regained his confidence and studied medical skills seriously. Until his sensory skills were good, he began to try to treat people. He knew that his eyes could not see clearly, so he practiced his hearing to be different from ordinary people.
And every time he came to see him, he also pestered his uncle to teach him a move and a half-standard to use it to be with him.
As for the identity of the sunbird, Xue Li claimed that this was a distant relative who came to take care of his cousin. With the sunbird being around, Xue Li grew up safely. When he was sixteen, he began to go to various townships and households.
Time flies, and years pass by. Four years pass by, Xue Li reaches the age of twenty .
During this period, he always remembered the warning of the divine bird in his dream and practiced it. The three medicines he was looking for had been found during his journey to the village and alleys, and only the feathers were missing.
That day, Xue Li and Sunbird returned to the new Xue Medical Center in Liuxi Village. The new clinic was built later. Although the scale was smaller than before, there were old clinics and new ones.
Therefore, every time he returned to Liuxi Village, he was more than enough to sit in the hall to practice medicine here.
When Xue Li and Sunbird entered the house, he found that the medicine in the clinic had been turned over. Xue Li reacted, and this was a thief who had visited.
He immediately ordered Sunbird: "Go somewhere else to see what was missing. ”
After a while, the Sunbird said, “The other things were not lost. "
After hearing this, Xue Li thought to himself: Who would come to steal medicine?
Just as they were about to clean up, a big man broke into the clinic and knelt on the ground with a pounce. Seeing this scene, Xue Li said, "This is..."
The sun bird reacted and ran over to help him up, but the big man was motionless as steady as Mount Tai.
At this time, the big man opened his mouth and said, "Doctor Xue, I'm sorry, this is the medicine I took from you. "
After saying that, he took out a little medicinal herbs from the bag. Xue Li recognized the medicine, but he didn't say anything because he knew that the man had something to say.
only heard the man continue, "My name is Ge He, and he lives in the north of the village. A few days ago, my daughter suddenly had a high fever and wanted to come to the clinic to ask for help from Dr. Xue, but you haven't come back yet when you go out. I thought to take her medicine and cook herbs first, but it still didn't improve in the next few days. Yesterday I suddenly foamed at the mouth. I was anxious and broke into the clinic, took the medicine myself, thinking of going back and boiling it and drinking it. "
" The old woman at home was worried that taking medicine would aggravate her condition, so she stopped me. Today I came back from fishing out and heard that Dr. Xue had returned to the village. I rushed over to apologize and beg Dr. Xue to save my daughter. "
Xue Li heard a patient and said to Ge He: "Uncle leads the way. "
After saying that, he simply packed up his things, let the sunbird stay and clean up the clinic, and then set off with Ge He.
As soon as he stepped into Ge He's courtyard, Xue Li heard a slight woman's moans. He ignored the others and accelerated his pace into the house.
After half an hour, Xue Li walked out. He was aware of his hearing, and then he found that there were more strangers in the yard, one of whom was talking to Ge He.
"Brother, why did you leave without sounding? And this time I've been so far away. I've been looking for you for a long time in the past six months." The person in charge said.
Ge He continued: "Second brother, I know you hope your brother is good and want your brother to enjoy it. I am grateful. But I am really not used to it. I have been rough with your sister-in-law for the rest of my life, so just let me live a peaceful and stable life."
Xue Li stood aside and listened to their conversation. It turned out that Ge He came to Liuxi Village half a year ago and settled his home in the north of the village to make a fisherman's livelihood.
The person in charge is Ge He's younger brother, called Ge Hu. The two brothers were poor at that time, and Ge He was a few years older. He saw that his younger brother was fond of studying and was willing to endure hardships, so he worked hard to get the exam with peace of mind. Ge Mu really did not disappoint everyone's expectations and was the first to win the list.
After Ge Hu returned home in Jin, he quickly took his brother to the mansion to live with him. But my brother said many times that he was not used to it and wanted to return to his original place.
once successfully ran away, and Ge Hu took it back. This time my brother simply moved to Liuxi Village, which is hundreds of miles away from the original village. But unexpectedly, Ge Hu came to the door.
was talking when the sick woman's mother and Ge He saw Xue Li beside him and rushed over. They were nervous, afraid that something would happen to their daughter.
Xue Li said to the woman's mother at this time: "Don't worry, Ling Ai is only the typhoid fever, it is probably because it was raining a few days ago, and she accidentally got infected with wind and cold, and it seems to be more serious because..."
Speaking of this, Xue Li approached the woman's mother's ear and said, "It's because Ling Ai has reached the age of menstruation. I hope my aunt will take care of her in the past and can't suffer from wind and cold again."
The mother said: "Doctor Xue, I've recorded it."
h After tml0, Xue Li continued generously, "As for foaming at the mouth, it was caused by convulsions caused by continuous high fever, which is no serious at present."He paused and said, "But if this happens again later, it is more dangerous to avoid the patient's tongue biting. Remember."
After hearing this, Ge He said, "Doctor Xue, what medicine should be used?"
"I prescribed a prescription for Ling Ai, but now the medicines in the clinic are not complete. I will go back and move my body to collect herbs." Xue Li said.
After saying that, he said to Ge He: "Uncle Ge must not take medicine to his family indiscriminately in the future. It is three parts poisonous, which will harm people. As for the matter of stealing medicine, I will not pursue it because you are eager to save your daughter."
After hearing this, Ge He lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "Thank you Dr. Xue, thank you Dr. Xue."
"Then I won't bother you. After I pick the medicine, I will bring it back for you to cook." After saying that, Xue Li turned around and wanted to leave.
At this time, Ge Hu walked over and said, "Thank you for your treatment of my niece. I heard that Dr. Xue was going up the mountain to collect herbs. I said bravely, I noticed that your eyes couldn't see clearly. I sent a subordinate to go with you. What should I do on the way?"
Xue Li was about to respond, but Ge Hu shouted, "Ahai, go with Dr. Xue. When Dr. Xue is inconvenient on the way, you can help."
The servant named Ahai responded, "Okay, master."
Xue Li realized that this was one of the few opportunities Ge Hu could do something for his brother. So he refused to refuse and agreed.
Then Xue Li returned to the clinic and cleaned up briefly. After explaining some matters to the Sunbird, she set out with Ahai to go up the mountain to collect herbs.
The mountain you want to go through Mo Village, the journey is dozens of miles. But Ah Hai was with him along the way, and the two of them talked and laughed, but they didn't realize that they had reached their destination. The medicinal materials that were to be picked were quickly finished, and they set off to rush back. There was a small episode during the process of collecting herbs at
. Xue Li picked a high-quality Ganoderma lucidum , which was an unexpected gain. It is said that such a plant can be sold for a thousand taels of silver, which makes Ah Hai envious.
Speaking of Ah Hai, he is about the same age as Xue Li. And he is young and has a rich resume. In addition, being able to speak wisely, this also makes the two of them less bored and boring along the way.
It was night before they knew it, but they just returned to Mo Village. It seemed that they had to stay in the inn first and wait until tomorrow to get on.
Then after dinner, after washing up a little, Xue Li went to bed and rested. He was sleeping soundly. That night he had a dream.
In the dream, Xue Li met her mother. She was still wearing the light pink butterfly embroidered costume and stood in front of her. Xue Li called out with tears in his eyes: "Mom."
but spoke out from the other side: "I am not your mother, I am Phoenix." This is also the second meeting between Xue Li and Phoenix over the years.
Xue Li wondered: "Why do I see my mother like?"
Phoenix said: "I completed a round of cultivation, and I just fell out of all my old feathers this year, my face was radiant, and my magic power increased a little. You can see the appearance of your mother, which is also presented by this magic power."
Xue Li wiped her tears in her dream and said to Phoenix: "I have always kept your warning in mind and be a good doctor."
Phoenix said: "This makes me very relieved. You are 20 years old this year. I am here to fulfill my original promise and give you feathers. This feather has just faded and is used to treat your eyes. It has the best effect."
Xue Li was very happy and expressed his gratitude to Phoenix.
Feng said that he turned around and was about to leave, but turned around and said, "The person around you has a problem. He has no kindness. He will harm you. You should hide in the closet."
After saying this, Xue Li opened his eyes and found that there was indeed a feather with colorful light on his hand, which was very beautiful.
Jie Li was thinking about Phoenix's words and murmured: "Why does Ah Hai harm me?"
At this time, he suddenly heard the footsteps outside the house very heavy. He hurriedly got up and hid in the closet.
Just as the wardrobe was closed, the man arrived outside the door. He gently pushed open Xue Li's door and walked in, tiptoed to the edge of the bed, then raised the big knife in his hand and chopped the bedding.
After a while, he heard the sound of lifting the quilt, and then said: Hey!
The man then found that Xue Li was not on the bed, so he turned his head and looked at the wardrobe. But just as he was about to walk towards the closet, another group of people broke in.
Xue Li hid in the closet, and heard the sound of swords and swords colliding outside, and soon there was no sound.
At this time, someone suddenly opened the wardrobe. The man saw Xue Li and said, "Li'er, are you okay?"
"Second Uncle?" After hearing the question from the other side, Xue Li shouted in confusion and then received a response from the other side.
Xue Li left the wardrobe and asked, "Uncle Second, what's going on?"
Uncle Second said immediately, "This Ah Hai is a thief. We have been following him for a long time. This time it was a stolen person and captured it."
Uncle Second then explained to Xue Li, but he didn't expect that this matter was related to Ge Hu.
Four months ago, Ge Hubao official said that valuable items were lost at home this time, but the thief could not be found for a long time. During the investigation, it was soon confirmed that the thief was Ge Hu's servant Ahai. As the investigation deepened, it was discovered that he had greater crimes.
A Hai's name is Wang Hai. When he was a child, he wandered with his mother to a village called Xinxing Village. Later, they lived there for many years.
The villagers don’t remember when they came, they only know that their lives are very hard, and Ahai’s mother was still working until the month before her death.
Later, my mother disappeared, and Ah Hai also left Xinxing Village and disappeared. When he appeared again, Ah Hai had already started working as a servant at the homes of gentry in other villages.
Not long after, Ahai disappeared from the gentry's house again. Then several households in the village reported that some items were stolen, including the one where Ahai stayed.
During that time, the same thing happened in different villages. It was not until he became Ge Hu's servant that the same thing happened again, but this time he met Xue Li's second uncle investigating the matter, and the matter became clearer and clearer.
But the second uncle was worried that there was no direct evidence, so he arranged for someone to stare at Ah Hai, hoping to catch a turtle in a jar, and both the people were caught. But I didn't expect that this time, the person he wanted to attack was Xue Li. Just because Xue Li picked the Ganoderma lucidum, Ah Hai, who was determined to get rich, wanted to kill and rob.
A Hai thought that Xue Li was a blind man, and things were more convenient to do. But he was greedy and relaxed his vigilance and was caught.
Later, I discovered that Wang Hai was the son of Wang Le, the Wang Clinic.
Unexpectedly, his father harmed Xue Li's parents. Today, he will harm Xue Li again, verifying the truth that having a father like him must have a son like him. But the laws of nature do not allow it, and he failed.
Later, Xue Li and his second uncle and others returned to Liuxi Village. Xue Li gave the medicine to Ge He and his wife, stared at them after boiling the medicine and fed it to their daughter, and then felt at ease. The second uncle also took the lead in dealing with Ah Hai's affairs, which was to give Ge Mu an explanation.
When everything was calmed down, Xue Li also grabbed the treatment of his eyes, which was amazing. As the Phoenix said, after using the medicine, Xue Li's eyes could be seen again, which surprised and happy.
Since then, Xue Li continued to practice medicine to save people, had a clear conscience, and lived a very free and easy life in this world.
