Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1058: The Village Clinic is Special

Zhangwang Village is a village that combines traditional water town style and modern vitality very well. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with green mountains and clear water like a mirror. Every breath of air they breathe is filled with sweetness, moisture and refreshing freshness. What a great place with beautiful mountains, beautiful waters and beautiful scenery!

The village roads are paved with bluestone slabs, simple and quiet. Over the years, many places have become mottled and dilapidated. The engineering workers have carefully repaired all the missing parts with stones, special cement, or pebbles..., which is full of special artistic beauty.

Standardized rural circuits, high-speed broadband, highly modernized drainage canals...the beautiful impression given by Zhangwang Village is very different from those underdeveloped villages in Bian Mu's hometown.

"No wonder Mr. Mi hid here. It turns out this place is such a wonderful place..." Bian Mu couldn't help but think to himself.

Medicine ropes, medicine incense, medicine flags... Once upon a time, they were all special medicines used by traditional Chinese medicine experts to treat and save lives. Since the village doctor Lao Mi is proficient in one of them, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

There are many types of traditional Chinese medicine professionals, and one of them is quite interesting. People are accustomed to calling it "unique". For example, there is a family with the surname Liu, who have been specializing in treating bronchitis syndrome for generations, and they also help people with pneumonia and so on. Of course, oral and ear diseases can occasionally be cured if a certain generation of descendants is very smart. Generally speaking, the effect is often very significant.

If patients come to them for other types of diseases, the doctors will often just smile and turn them away, being lukewarm and indifferent, without any explanation, and not taking a penny of the money they shouldn't earn.

In Bian Mu's eyes, this kind of Chinese medicine colleague is also a type of doctor, but this kind of Chinese medicine colleague often has the true medical knowledge, unique treatment methods, confidential medication, clear thinking... and has a certain mysterious color.

Perhaps, the village doctor Lao Mi is one of them.

However... Bian Mu has another consideration for the village doctor Lao Mi: there is an objective and inevitable connection between Lao Mi and Situ Jianqing. As for how deep the connection is, only God knows. Based on this speculation... the village doctor Lao Mi may be a good Chinese medicine practitioner who has retired from the world after failing in his career.

The village doctor Lao Mi occupies three bungalows at the east end of the village. The two rooms in the front are used as a proper village clinic, and another room is built on the west, which is just right to block the biting northwest wind. Bian Mu is well versed in Chinese studies. Standing in the yard and looking around, he feels that the architectural design of this clinic should be Lao Mi's idea, with the yin and yang in harmony and the four dimensions expanded. Lao Mi stays here all day to treat people, and at least he can ensure that he himself will not get sick to the greatest extent possible.

There is a wall built in the backyard of the village clinic. Judging from the height, it is slightly higher than other buildings in the village. It is used for wind blocking, privacy protection, and preventing the leakage of yang energy... A large number of mulberry trees are planted inside and outside the wall. From a visual observation, the tallest one has grown to more than ten meters high, with lush branches and leaves.

Fortunately, the mulberry trees were carefully planned in advance and do not affect the lighting of the clinic at all.

Looking at the all-Mulberry trees in front of him, Bian Mu guessed that the village doctor Lao Mi probably had the habit of raising silkworms. Of course, judging from the layout, it was definitely a small feng shui arrangement.

Behind the west room, there is a patch of yellow birch poplar, a very rare tree species. In Bian Mu's impression, this kind of poplar seems to be suitable for planting in northern regions. It is cold-resistant and strong. Unexpectedly, Lao Mi actually managed to plant it alive. From a distance, those poplars are obviously taken care of by someone. At this moment, they have formed a small climate and grown into a small forest.

The open space in front of the village clinic was rammed with river sand, and there were probably a lot of pebbles and gravels underneath. The area was quite large, and the surface looked very flat, and there was no debris piled on it. There was hardly a wheel mark. I think the villagers respected it. They usually went to the clinic to see a doctor in a hurry and didn't stay for too long. No one dared to park their cars here. There was no chicken shit, dog poop, pig feces... or anything like that.

Bian Mu suspected that the village doctor Lao Mi was also a martial artist.

The gatehouse was built very simply, and the courtyard wall facing the health center was very low, with an iron fence built on it, the kind of metal fence found in rural areas.

It seems that the village doctor Lao Mi is definitely not a simple person.

Near the middle of the metal fence, there is a soapberry tree with a huge crown and a very large trunk. It is impossible for Bian Mu and Lao Hou to hold hands and hug each other. Under the roots of the tree, there is a dark brown guard dog lying, with pointed wolf ears and a pair of sharp eyes, staring at Bian Mu and his friends from time to time. Bian Mu secretly communicated with the big dog with his eyes for a few times, and the guard dog's eyes gradually became very docile, as if Bian Mu and his party were frequent visitors here.

The weather was gradually getting hot and humid, so the two found a wooden bench opposite the guard dog and sat down to rest for a while, placing the special gifts in their hands on the other end of the bench.

"It's strange! The dog is usually very fierce! What happened to it today?! It's so well-behaved... Is it sick?" Old Hou said a few words casually with a smile.

"You have kung fu energy and you look very imposing, so it's afraid of you!" Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"No way! Haha..."

"Where does the old man usually live?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"The old man has a small courtyard near the village primary school, and it's very tidy."

"Oh! How is your spouse?"

"The old lady used to be a teacher at a middle school. I think she taught chemistry. I asked her about her health once. She was not in good health. I chatted with her when I was collecting ducks. She loved to grow flowers. She had a lot of flowers planted inside and outside the house. You could smell the fragrance of flowers from afar."

"The old man's children are all developing in other places, right?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"I'm not sure, I think he has a son and a daughter. The villagers are not very familiar with his family affairs, but the old man has a high prestige in the village. People don't dare to ask about things that he doesn't want to talk about."

"Oh I got it……"

The two were sitting there chatting when the village doctor Lao Mi came back from collecting herbs in the mountains.

The old man was tall and thin, carrying a medicine basket on his back and lazily holding a sickle in his left hand. Bian Mu was sharp-eyed and recognized at a glance that it was a specially made "Kaishan Heyue Scythe", which was definitely not an ordinary farm tool. To be precise, it should be an old-fashioned alloy weapon mainly made of iron.

Old Hou was very perceptive. He hurried over and took the medicine basket that the village doctor Lao Mi was carrying. When he was about to take the "Kaishan Heyue Sickle" together with the medicine basket, the old village doctor smiled and politely declined!

interesting!
"Teacher Mi! Hello! I, the junior student Bian Mu, have come to visit you specially. I'm sorry for being so intrusive!" Bian Mu quickly stepped forward and greeted the old village doctor.

"Hmph! You are so famous! But your temperament... you look so immature! You said I was being rude, what else can I say! This is our first meeting, what gift did you bring? Let me take a look, I have to make it clear in advance! I won't accept anything I don't like!" Wow! The old village doctor was really rude.
