On the mountain-
Liao Fan sat beside the stone table, drinking the rice wine his disciple had bought for him when he went down the mountain. He was peeling melon seeds in his hand, and Si Qi was eating candy with relish.
Liao Fan thought to himself," This disciple is not only talented, but also very filial. I spent most of the change I got from buying rice on things for myself. Although it's not much money, it's rare for him to have such a good heart." However, just going down to buy things every day would not help him integrate into society very much. He had to think of a way to make him practice harder. Thinking of what he had done at the foot of the mountain, Liaofan had an idea. He turned his head and said to Zhu Siqi,
"My dear disciple, although you've done everything I asked you to do when you went down the mountain today, it won't help you much in experiencing social life. You have to know that the things you bought at the foot of the mountain today can be done by a child of a few years old. I think we should find you a job at the foot of the mountain so that you can exercise more. What do you think?”
"Master, what do you think I can do now?”Zhu Siqi did not have much confidence in himself. However, he did not know that he had a treasure mountain in his possession.
" There are many things you can do," Liao Fan teased him." Sweep the floor, wash the dishes, help out, you can be an apprentice."
"Master, I've been learning for more than ten years, but this is all I can do!”Zhu Siqi was anxious.
"Ha ha!" Seeing his disciple's anxious look, Liaofan laughed."Of course not. In fact, I have something suitable for you to do. There is a Santang Pharmacy in Santang Village. The doctor there is surnamed Deng. When I was traveling at the foot of the mountain, he admired me. If you go there, you just have to say that you are my disciple. He will definitely be willing to let you stay and help him."”
Seeing Zhu Siqi opening his mouth to respond, Liaofan immediately continued, not giving his disciple a chance to open his mouth." Actually, there is another way. Just like my master, you can set up a stall in Santang Market and treat others yourself. You have read so many medical books and memorized so many prescriptions. It should be fine, right?"”
When Zhu Siqi heard that he could do it himself, he was of course willing. However, he was not very clear about his own ability. He said to his master in a questioning tone,"Master, treating a patient and writing a prescription is a matter that concerns someone's life. Although I'm familiar with medical books and have memorized tens of thousands of prescriptions, and I know a lot of strange prescriptions, I've never taken a person's pulse before. Aren't you afraid that I'll embarrass you?”Zhu Siqi also heard his master's teasing, and his mood relaxed. He retaliated.
Seeing that his disciple was no longer fooled, Liao Fan could only tell him the truth." You practice internal energy every day, so you should have a good understanding of the structure of the human body. If you can't make a judgment when you take the pulse, you can send a trace of true qi into the other party's body to check. It's easy to find the cause. In fact, the most important thing in treating a disease is to find out the cause of the disease before you can prescribe the right medicine. And you have this innate advantage, so how can you have the opportunity to take the wrong pulse? Moreover, you know all kinds of pulse patterns. In the future, if you take more pulses, you can verify the pulse patterns described in the book one by one. By then, you won't need to send true qi, and you will naturally be able to take the pulse very accurately.”
" I didn't know I was so powerful." Zhu Siqi was happy." Are you willing to set up your own stall?"”Liao Fan asked.
"That's right. I'd rather be a chicken than a cow. This is my first step out of society!”Zhu Siqi's confidence had increased greatly.
" Alright then, in order to increase your motivation, I'll also increase your pressure. After you set up your stall, you'll only have to pay 100 yuan a month in addition to providing the two of us with daily necessities on the mountain." Now was the time to enjoy. In the past ten years, he had been thinking about how to maintain the life of a master and disciple every day. Now, there was someone to take over.
Since things had come to this, Zhu Siqi could only silently agree with his master's words." I'll go down the mountain to set up a stall tomorrow. I don't believe that I can't earn 100 yuan a month." After saying that, he immediately took action and prepared pens, paper, and other items." You can't rush this. Based on my experience, you're not famous yet. Moreover, the older you are, the more popular you are. You can go tomorrow and come back the way you go."”Liao Fan was afraid that he would be impatient, so he gave him a small blow.
" Then what should I do? Master, please give me an idea." Zhu Siqi asked his master for help." Alright, this is the last idea I'll give you. You have to decide for yourself in the future."”Liao Fan wanted to nurture his disciple's sense of independence, but when something happened, he could not help but want to help him. Fortunately, he changed his mind quickly. This was the best time. Disciple, it's up to you in the future!
"You should set up a stall on the next market day. There will be many people there, and there should be many people seeing a doctor. At that time, Santang Pharmacy will definitely be too busy, and someone will look for you. You must make a big hit with this. If the patient who took your prescription recovers on the next market day, you should be able to set up a stall there often.”As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier. He came up with a good idea all of a sudden.
"Thank you, Master. We should be able to succeed this time.”After listening to his master's words and deeds, Zhu Siqi felt more confident. He went back to his house and took out his medical book to revise.
Four days later, it was the day of the Santang Market.
Zhu Siqi arrived at the market early. He first went to Santang Pharmacy to visit Doctor Deng, who was the doctor there. Doctor Deng knew that he was the disciple of Master Fan, who used to set up a stall here to treat patients. He was very polite. When he heard that this young man also wanted to set up a stall here, he was very surprised. It was not that he did not believe it. Others might not know, but he knew Fan's ability. She was just surprised that he was only in his teens!
After knowing his purpose, Doctor Deng found two chairs and a table for him at the back of the pharmacy.
After thanking Doctor Deng, Zhu Siqi moved the tables and chairs to a place not far from the Santang Pharmacy and set up his life stall. He actually had an idea why he had to be so close to the pharmacy. The people who came to Santang Pharmacy were all here to see a doctor and get medicine. Even if he was close, people would still see the stall. He had indirectly borrowed the reputation of Santang Pharmacy. It was really good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
Then, he picked up a small wooden board at the side and pasted a piece of white paper on it. He took out a brush and wrote the words 'prescribe a prescription for treating a disease' on the table. Why didn't he write words like 'Hua Tuo is living',' Bian Que is resurrected', and 'specialized in treating incurable diseases'? He also had his own thoughts. He was too young, and no matter how good he wrote, it was not as good as the prescription he wrote. If he wrote such words, it would not matter if people did not believe him. He was afraid that they would think he was a liar, and he could only close the door today.
Time slowly passed, and the number of people in the market began to increase. When people passed by his stall, their eyes moved when they saw his " signboard." When they turned around and saw his young appearance, they turned around and walked forward. Even if someone wanted to approach and ask, there were people on the side who stopped them and refused to come over. They all went straight to the Santang Pharmacy.
Zhu Siqi was also secretly anxious when he saw this situation. It's not my fault that I'm young. Seeing that the Santang Pharmacy not far away was packed with people, and the people inside did not even have a place to stand, he could only sigh in his heart.
At this moment, a woman squeezed out of the Santang Pharmacy. She was holding a few packets of medicine in one hand and a little boy in her other hand. She was an ordinary farmer's woman in the vicinity. Because she had been drenched in rain when she was young, she was now affected by the wind. Every time it was rainy, her knees felt like they were being pricked by thousands of small needles. It was painful and uncomfortable. She had grabbed medicine from the Santang Pharmacy a few times, but there was no improvement. Seeing a young man who was setting up a stall not far away, he came over with the feeling that it didn't matter if he wanted to see another stall.
Zhu Siqi saw someone walking over and knew that he was here to see a doctor. He was happy and finally opened the pot.
The woman walked to the stall and asked,"
" Young man, are you seeing a doctor alone or are you keeping a stall for your master?" The young woman thought that there should be a master around. It was not so young to see a doctor.
"Auntie, I'm the only one treating the patient. Don't worry, I'm still quite capable. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to set up a stall!”
Although the young woman didn't believe it, she was already here, so she just took a look.
"How much does a prescription cost?”In the countryside, people would spend every penny they had. They would ask about the price before seeing a doctor.
A prescription from Santang Pharmacy cost three yuan. Zhu Siqi originally wanted to set the price at two yuan, but when he saw that no one had been interested for so long and that it was another patient, he said," One yuan."
Hearing that the price was cheap, Mrs. Nian walked to the chair beside the table and sat down. She put her hand on the table and did not say anything. She wanted to test his skill.
Zhu Siqi did not think much of it when he saw the young woman stretching out her hand. He stretched out three fingers and placed them on her pulse. When he felt her pulse, he knew that she had cold air invading her legs, so it should be rheumatism. However, in order to be more certain, he sent a trace of true qi into the young woman's body. After checking, it was indeed rheumatism. Rhesmanship was a common disease, but it was also very difficult to cure. Of course, it was a piece of cake for Zhu Siqi to use true qi, but that would immediately expose the fact that he had internal energy. This was something he didn't want to do. It seemed that he could only do acupuncture.
He let go of his right hand and said to the young woman,"Auntie, this should be due to the cold air invading your body in the early years. You didn't feel it when you were young, but now it has become rheumatism.”
When the young woman heard that Zhu Siqi was right, she quickly said to him," Then do you have a good prescription? Can it cure it?”
"You don't need to take another medicine for this prescription. Just use the medicine in your hand. I'll give you acupuncture.”Zhu Siqi had already seen the medicine bag in her hand. He smelled the medicine and sensed it. He knew that it was medicine for rheumatism. With his acupuncture, it should be fine.
Hearing the young man's confidence, the young woman's confidence immediately increased." Alright, can you give me the needle now?”
" Sure." After saying that, he took out a set of needles that his master used to use when he was a doctor. He asked the woman to stretch her feet over, but he did not ask her to pull up her pants. With his perception, he inserted a few needles into the acupuncture points on her knees through the small gaps in her pants.
The young woman saw that he moved very quickly. In a flash, a few needles had already been inserted into her legs. She felt a little numb and finally believed that this young man had some real skills.
After more than ten minutes, Zhu Siqi pulled out the needles and said to the young woman,"Auntie, your acupuncture session is considered complete. I'll do it again when you come back to the market next time.”
" Thank you, young man. If my leg recovers, I'll introduce you to someone else next time." After saying that, he handed a dollar to Zhu Siqi and left.
" I'm finally open! I've finally earned a dollar of my life!" Zhu Siqi was very happy and shouted in his heart!
With one, the people behind were not afraid anymore. After all, it was cheap here. It was only one yuan. A man saw the young woman leave and immediately walked over to sit on a chair.
This time, it was very simple. It was just a cold. He wrote a prescription in one stroke, but he only gave him one yuan. Zhu Siqi did not withdraw the money. He could only accept this reality. In the future, he would write a prescription for one yuan.
The number of people at the market gradually decreased. Zhu Siqi treated a few more patients. Seeing that it was getting late, he was ready to close the stall. He returned the tables and chairs to Doctor Deng and left his pens and papers with him. Then he began to walk up the mountain. This time, he did not buy anything because he was reluctant to spend the money he earned every time.
