Chapter 1 Medicine House
Spring is warm and the sun is warm.
Xu Yan lay on the bamboo chair, looking at the green mountains in the distance, and the clouds and mists were floating, and couldn't help but sigh.
It is said that life is like a dream, but his dream has been too long. For six years, more than two thousand days and nights, every time he opens his eyes, he hopes that he can return to his original world, but he is always disappointed.
He is still here, and in this wild and backward ancient world, he will never be able to return!
The wind blew, rolling up the pages of the book in his hand, and the year name on it was Jin.
The Great Jin Dynasty is the dynasty he lives in today. It began with Emperor Wu of Jin, Zhou Shen, to pacify the troubled times and establish the national dynasty.
Yes, the emperor's surname is Zhou, not Sima.
In other words, he is now in a different time and space, not simply traveling back to ancient times!
The golden finger that predicted the future was no longer useful, and Xu Yan himself did not want to do anything earth-shaking, so he did not feel disappointed. In this strange world, he just wanted to live well.
"Sir, it's time to eat!" Wang Qin shouted to him.
Xu Yan agreed and got up and walked towards the Medicine House.
This is a small hillside, with a tall mountain peak backed by sparse grass and trees around it. Two thatched huts stand in the center, and a wooden shed next to it, filled with medicinal materials.
In the small courtyard surrounded by wooden railings, there is a table with lunch on it, the golden egg cakes on it are stacked high, and two plates of cold wild vegetables are also attractive.
Xu Yan washed his hands and sat down, picked up the egg pancake and tasted it, nodded and said, "No, good, good cooking skills!"
Zhao He smiled and said, "Sir, you are well taught!"
There were three people living in the medicine house, Xu Yan was a doctor, and Wang Qin and Zhao He were apprentices.
Wang Qin was literate and helped Xu Yan dry the grinding medicinal materials on weekdays. He even secretly read medical books and memorized the prescriptions. Xu Yan saw through it but did not say it out.
How can medical skills be learned so easily?
After Xu Yan came over, the master taught him step by step for four years. He only stepped into the threshold with half of his foot. No one taught him, so it was almost impossible to get started!
In contrast, Zhao He is much more honest. He has never studied, but he has a good body. He is doing all the work of carrying water and chopping firewood in the medicine house.
At this time, they were in a big mountain called Qunyingshan in Shu, surrounded by primeval forests.
The name Qunyingshan sounds heroic, but it is actually a bandit's nest. The thief leader Liu Heiqi occupied the mountain as the king and stationed here with a group of subordinates, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
Six years ago, a fool who fled from Hanoi to Shuzhong joined the group of bandits for a bite. Unexpectedly, he was not good at getting off the mountain and was knocked and slapped when he first went down the mountain to rob. When he woke up, his body had changed his soul.
When Xu Yan first came to this world, he felt uncomfortable and felt that he was full of awkwardness everywhere. It took him a long time to get to know him.
He was careful everywhere and became taciturn, so that people mistakenly thought he had become a fool and took him to the medicine house for treatment.
Xu Yan also met his master, Qu Renhuan, whose pseudonym was Song and Yuan dynasties!
He was the only doctor in the mountains. Because he was charged and wanted by the government, he had to join the bandits and gain a foothold.
Xu Yan was in a depressed mood at that time. Seeing that the Yaolu was quiet, he often came here to daze. After a while, he became familiar with the master. Seeing that he was literate and had a steady personality, Qu Renhuan began to teach him medical skills and let him live in the Yaolu.
Two years ago, the master died of illness, and Xu Yan took over the Yaolu and became the new doctor in the mountains. Liu Heiqi sent two men to Yaolu to help, namely Wang Qin and Zhao He.
The two of them are here to steal the stolen ones rather than to help.
Qu Renhuan is the thirteenth generation descendant of the Shunyang Qu family. The Qu family has practiced medicine for generations and is well-known. The secret medicine Baibao Dan developed by his ancestors can stop bleeding and remove blood stasis, detoxify and reduce swelling, and is even more miraculous for sword injuries, and countless living people are alive.
Because of his presence in the mountains of Heying Mountain, the mortality rate of bandits has dropped rapidly. In a few years, it has become the largest bandit group in Shu.
The prescription for Baibao Dan is not written on paper. The Qu family has been passed down from generation to generation. Qu Renhuan passed it to Xu Yan before his death, so that he could remember it in his heart.
So as long as Xu Yan didn't say it, even if they turned the medicine house upside down, they wouldn't be able to find it!
Based on this point, Xu Yan did not refuse Liu Heiqi's kindness.
In fact, after the master passed away, he wanted to leave here, but the terrain of Qunying Mountain was strange. Looking down from a high altitude, it was like a lying flat gourd. The narrow part was the exit, and there was only one, which was guarded by Liu Heiqi's confidants day and night.
They obviously would not let Xu Yan go, so they could only do it slowly!
Most of the time, the medicine house is very quiet, and Xu Yan collects medicines every day, and ignores everything else.
But when the bandits go down the mountain to rob, the injured will be sent to Xu Yan for treatment. Most of them are trauma, and the prepared treasure elixir is enough to deal with it.
The injured person sent to him today was quite serious. A large hole was cut on his back, spreading from his shoulders to his waist, dripping blood.
When the person was carried over, he was already in a coma. Xu Yan tore open his clothes, checked the wound, and said to Wang Qin: "Go and get the needle and thread!"
Wang Qin hurried into the house, found the needle and thread, and Xu Yan soaked it in spirits to disinfect it, and then began to sew.
He quickly started to do it. After sewing the wound, he applied hundreds of treasure pills and then wrapped it with gauze.
"Okay, carry it back. I will prescribe two medicines for him later to replenish his qi and blood!" Xu Yan asked Zhao Hedao.
There were many people injured this time, including those who were stabbed, those who were shot by arrows, those who were pierced by iron nails, and one unlucky guy was bitten by a dog on his butt. I don’t know if he would get rabies.
Xu Yan treated them one by one. From them, they learned that because the bandits in Shu were rampant, they attracted the attention of the court. They specially transferred a general to suppress the bandits. The officers and soldiers had destroyed three villages in a row. Soon it was their turn to Heishan Mountain, which caused panic among the bandits.
In recent days, Liu Heiqi has frequently brought his men down the mountain to rob, just to rob more things, and then he can't defend it. He uses the terrain of the mountains of heroes to block the officers and soldiers. If the officers and soldiers fight for a long time, they will retreat.
I think he also knew that in terms of combat effectiveness, bandits are definitely not the opponents of officers and soldiers, so he came up with this idea.
After a while of busyness, all the injured were sent away. Xu Yan looked into the distance and fell into deep thought.
It's time to leave. If the officers and soldiers come in, I'm afraid they can't even leave!
After dinner, he returned to the room, closed the wooden door, then moved the bed board and pried open the bricks and stones on the ground to reveal a square wooden box.
