Seeing that Xue Boyong's physical condition had stabilized, and it was time for him to accumulate experience, Lin Dan finally decided to go out to practice medicine.
"Brother, I'm going out, and I won't be back until the afternoon." Before leaving, she went to the next room to say hello.
Xue Boyong frowned when he saw that she was wearing a set of coarse clothes, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, holding a string of rattles in her hand, and looking like she was going out for a long trip, "Where are you going?"
"I went to the villages and villages outside the city to see a doctor. I have read all the medical books that I should read, and I also understand all the medical and pharmacology I should understand. Now I need to practice. The people in the capital are very special. Pay attention, if you are sick, you should go to the medical center to see the doctor. For a budding young man like me, the medical center will not accept it, so I can only go for a walk in the remote countryside. The living conditions of the people there are not as good as those in the city , most of the sick can only survive the disease, unless it is serious, then put on an ox cart and go to the city. If I take the initiative to go to their door to see a doctor for them, and I will charge a little less for the consultation fee, I think they will be willing to come. After I accumulate enough Experience, sooner or later I will be able to heal eldest brother's leg, eldest brother, please wait." Lin Dan said while waving his hand, and left like this.
Xue Boyong hurriedly stopped her: "Wait for me, you are a weak woman walking outside all day, what if you encounter danger?"
"Big brother, I'm not a weak woman." Lin Dan squeezed his little fist.
Thinking of her strength to easily hug a big man, Xue Boyong's expression froze slightly, but he still said firmly: "I won't stop you if you want to practice medicine, but you must bring a guard when you go out, otherwise you will stay at home with me."
Seeing his resolute expression, Lin Dan had to perfunctory: "Okay, eldest brother, I will listen to eldest brother, you, you, go out with me." Then he casually ordered two guards, turned his head and left, regardless of others. If he didn't keep up, that posture was more skilled than the marshal who ordered troops on the battlefield.
Xue Boyong looked at her straight back with an angry expression and a little helplessness, and after a while he held his forehead and laughed lowly. He waved his hand and said, "Go, go, let her go, be sure to protect people."
The two guards who were ordered then handed over their orders and chased after them with strides.
Looking at the closed courtyard gate, Xue Boyong shook his head and murmured, "I didn't blame you, so why bother." Having said that, his cold heart had already been captured by this stubborn little girl. , becomes soft.
After Lin Dan left, the courtyard seemed extraordinarily quiet. At this time in the past, she was already studying in the study, and the murmured recitation came from time to time, like a swarm of bees buzzing. Xue Boyong had protested several times, and she habitually agreed, but she would forget it later, and it seemed her habit to endorse and recite the voice. Up to now, Xue Boyong was actually used to her habit, the voice suddenly disappeared, instead he felt uncomfortable anywhere.
He asked Li Zhong to carry himself outside to bask in the sun, and sighed, "Little girl didn't ask me what I wanted to eat for lunch this morning."
Li Zhong replied subconsciously: "Miss Lin said that she can only come back in the afternoon, and the lunch will be cooked by Chef Fang. What do you want to eat, eldest son, I will go to the kitchen and tell me now."
Xue Boyong waved his hand sullenly: "No, I don't want to eat anything."
Seeing that the eldest son had a depressed expression and frowned, as if he had returned to the way he was when he was just injured, Li Zhong said quickly, "If you are young, call Chef Fang over now and ask her what went into the small kitchen today. Fresh food?"
"No need, let's talk about it after noon." Xue Boyong was still not interested, just stared at the courtyard gate, wondering what he was thinking.
In the past, just after breakfast, Miss Lin teased the eldest son to order the dishes that he wanted to eat at noon. Today, Miss Lin is not here, and the eldest son doesn't order dishes. She also said that lunch should be waited until after noon. This shows that it is the rhythm of not wanting to eat! Li Zhong became more and more nervous, dared to say "I'll go to the small kitchen to see" and ran away.
Xue Boyong closed his eyes, his expression a little lonely. Although he was surrounded by guards, and even though there were countless servants waiting outside the courtyard wall, he suddenly felt empty in his heart and had nowhere to go.
After a while, Li Zhong ran back, his anxious expression was replaced by a smile on his face, "Eldest son, you must have never imagined that when Miss Lin was leaving, she would cook a pot of beef on the stove, and the meat would be rotten by noon. Now, you can eat it. I smelled it just now, and the taste was absolutely incredible. If I hadn't covered my hands quickly, my saliva would have dripped into the pot. I don't know what seasoning Miss Lin put in, so she didn't lift the lid of the pot. As soon as I opened it, people in the kitchen almost got drunk, I have never smelled beef so fragrant!"
Xue Boyong, who was still a little absent-minded at first, has turned his head to listen to him attentively at this time, and his dark eyes are constantly flickering. He just remembered that when he fell asleep yesterday, the little girl ran to his room and asked him if he had anything he wanted to eat recently. He casually said beef, but he didn't expect this dish to be stewed when she left this morning. up.
After leaving, I was worried that my eldest brother's lunch would not arrive, this little girl... Thinking of this, Xue Boyong pressed his fist to his lips, trying his best to cover the corners of his raised mouth.
…
When Lin Dan left, he had already done everything he had to do, and he had explained everything clearly, so he didn't have to worry about anything going wrong with his eldest brother. She hired an ox cart and slowly drove out of the city. Seeing that the city gate was just around the corner, she said to the two guards, "I agreed to let you come along to appease the eldest brother, but in fact, I can handle everything by myself. Unexpected situation. You have nothing to do with me, why don't you help me find someone."
The two guards sat silently outside the carport, completely ignoring her.
Lin Dan was not angry, and continued: "You guys help me find someone with exactly the same symptoms as my eldest brother. All of them have paralyzed legs after a fall. After finding the person, tell me the address of that person, and I will go to the doctor. I have no experience. It's not easy to place acupuncture on my eldest brother at will. I want to find a similar patient for diagnosis and treatment. Let me tell you the truth, Lin Chaoxian is my great great great great great great great great great grandfather. In any case, this is also a way of life, please pay attention to it."
The two guards who were slumbering with their eyes closed while holding the saber suddenly opened their eyes and looked into the car, only to see a layer of bamboo curtains.
"Lin Chaoxian is your ancestor?" The two of them said in unison, with a cautious tone.
"Naturally, eldest brother also knows about this." Lin Dan opened the bamboo curtain and asked, "Are you helping me with this?" Lin Chaoxian's medical skills are known to be amazing, but the medical books he left behind are the most important. Since then, the talents of the Lin family have been hidden, and they dare not publicize it at will, lest they fail to preserve this inheritance, but completely ruin the reputation of their ancestors.
The methods of acupuncture and massage handed down by the ancestors of the Lin family are both effective only when supplemented with internal energy. If there is no inner strength, the patient will die as soon as the doctor pierces the acupuncture point. This is not saving people, but killing people! Because of this, Father Lin clearly had a family heirloom, but he didn't dare to learn it. He only studied the simplest technique of bruises and injuries, which was really helpless.
The inside story, the two guards did not know, and did not intend to inquire. They only knew that they had to seize any hope of curing the general, so they nodded immediately: "Okay, we'll help with this! There are many people in the city, so let's look for it in the city first, if not, then go to the surrounding area. Township."
"Okay, then, you can get off here. We will meet at the West City Gate on time." Lin Dan knocked on the cab and signaled the driver to stop.
The driver is a rude man. He doesn't know anything about Lin Chaoxian or Xuanji acupuncture. Even if he knows about it and spreads it out, Lin Dan is not afraid. She has the confidence to solve any trouble.
After the two guards got out of the car, they showed the token on their waists to the driver and warned: "This is the young lady of General Xue's mansion. You must bring her back with all her hair. Where is your home? How many people are there? Man, we know very well."
The coachman agreed with sincerity, and when the two guards left, the clothes behind them were soaked with cold sweat. Knowing that these guests are so big, he would not accept this order.
"Let's go, with me there, nothing will happen on the road." Lin Dan waved his hand, his tone was calm, completely unaware that the positions of the protector and the protectee had been completely reversed by her.
In fact, Xue Mansion also has horse carriages, but the decorations are very luxurious and not suitable for walking in the countryside. Furthermore, if the people in the manor needed to use the carriage, they had to report to Madam Xue to prepare. In this way, whether Lin Dan's plan could still be carried out was a question. Mrs. Xue can tolerate her staying to take care of her son, but she may not tolerate her being a travel doctor and embarrassing the Xue family.
Saying something unpleasant, Lin Dan was very displeased with Mrs. Xue, who was always paying attention to decency. If it weren't for the debt left by the original owner, she would have to repay her, she would have left.
The coachman was amused by the girl's tyrannical attitude, and his nervous mood instantly relaxed, shaking the reins and driving the ox cart, slowly driving out of the city gate.
Lin Dan took out a set of silver needles and a human-shaped puppet hidden in the bamboo basket, and took the time to practice acupuncture. She had tried her best to control her inner strength, but she still lost her sense of proportion when inserting the needle. The tyrannical qi flowed into the cork along the tip of the needle, and instantly exploded a small cavity.
Hearing a muffled "pop", snow-white sawdust spurted out of the cavity and sprinkled on Lin Dan's face. Fortunately, the material of this set of silver needles is very special, and it can withstand the destruction of internal energy without breaking, otherwise she will destroy even the guy who eats. If the puppets were replaced by real people, it would be conceivable that it was not wood chips but blood and minced meat that sprinkled her face now. If you can't control the input of internal energy, this acupuncture method can only kill people, not save them.
Therefore, what she said to the driver just now is not an exaggeration. As long as she holds a needle in her hand, she can kill someone and kill a Buddha without fear of stepping into danger.
