Excellent security guard

As the saying goes, ten ways and nine medicines.

This sentence means that medicine and morality have the same origin.

From a historical point of view, the technique of Qihuang originally originated from Taoism, and Taoism has five types of housekeeping skills, namely medicine, divination, astrology, hexagrams, and phases. Among them, medical skills are the crown of the five Taoist skills.

In terms of theory, the concept of the unity of man and nature, the theory of yin and yang and the five elements of traditional Chinese medicine, and its views on the meridians, qi and blood, and viscera of the human body are basically inherited and developed by Taoism. In Daoyin, Cunsi, Convincing and the more mature Inner Alchemy in the future.

Therefore, many medical sages in the history of China are outstanding in Taoism, most of them are like Xie Yifan. After being taught by a good teacher like the old man in accordance with their aptitude, they are proficient in medicine, and they can basically master all or part of the medical skills.

However, many techniques of Taoist medicine are based on qi. If the realm of inner strength cultivation has not reached a certain level, it will be difficult to understand the essence of medical skills, let alone master and apply them.

Logically speaking, Xie Yifan has such a good congenital condition, the skill of traditional Chinese medicine should not be weak.

However, Xie Yifan is an uncertain master. He always remembers revenge for his parents and sister, so he is more obsessed with inner strength cultivation. As for medical skills, he only learned a little from the old man. In the foundation building stage, he couldn't skillfully use many unique skills, so the old man didn't force him to study medicine.

But from a technical point of view, even if Xie Yifan only learned a little bit of medical skills from the old man, with his talent, intelligence, knowledge, and years of experience working with the old man, if he only competed in medical skills, Without systematic theoretical knowledge, Xie Yifan is no worse than those so-called old experts.

"Brother, I don't know which bowl of rice brother eats?"

The owner of the pharmacy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't look at the deep smile on his face, maybe he is going to pass the knife behind his back. No, he started to ask about Xie Yifan's origin after three sentences.

The thirteen gangs are jargon in the medicine circle, and the Guandong gang is the first, followed by Jingtongwei, Xibeikou, Gubeikou, Guangbang, Huangqi gang...etc.Those who make a living in this circle have their own set of rules, and they will not step over the line easily.

Xie Yifan had been with the old man for more than ten years, so there was no reason why he couldn't understand the meaning of the pharmacy owner's words, so he laughed and said: "Integrity is the foundation, no deception, brother, I am just a run-in, I am not helping."

The so-called "run-in" is actually a broker who specializes in connecting buyers and sellers to facilitate transactions. After they facilitate the transaction between the two parties, they only charge a certain percentage of the stated transaction amount as a commission, and never eat the price.

However, in the medicine store, if the buyer fails to pay when the due date is reached for any transaction made by a runner, no matter what the reason is, the runner will guarantee compensation. This rule has been maintained to this day.

It is precisely because of the eight words "honesty transactions, no deceit" as its own gold-lettered signboard, the running-in people are very respected by the drug dealers in the drug store, and their status is so high that even the thirteen helmsman will treat him Courtesy three points.

Moreover, Xie Yifan did not lie. After the old man finished his job as the welfare director in Sichuan, he has been working in the medicine store. Or the Thirteen Gang, almost no one knows.

The master is good at running, and the apprentice can naturally make do with this status.

As soon as the pharmacy owner heard that Xie Yifan was right, he reported his status as a runner, and immediately put away his small face in awe, followed the rules, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, third brother, I have eyes for the brother just now. Don't know Mount Tai."

Xie Yifan waved his hands and smiled, "It's not that troublesome, I just want to know who has the best medicinal materials in our neighborhood."

"Weird hand Zhang, who else can there be besides his family?"

After figuring out Yifan's identity, the owner of the pharmacy made a lot of friends, and his words were full of enthusiasm.

"Strange hand Zhang?"

Xie Yifan was stunned, on the surface he looked dazed, but in fact he didn't know where he was thinking.

Not only was this name familiar to Xie Yifan, but he could even remember that person's appearance.

The owner of the pharmacy didn't know what Xie Yifan was thinking, he smiled and explained enthusiastically: "The third brother didn't run on our Jiangnan Gang line, did he? The strange hand Zhang is Zhang Jingtai, the boss of Longji. Practicing medicine, my ancestors have produced five imperial physicians."

Suddenly, Xie Yifan was stunned. Now he finally understood why he was able to reach this place after running all the way. It turned out that there was his childhood memory here.

"Third brother, third brother?"

The owner of the pharmacy was a little puzzled, and looked at this unexpected runner with a complicated expression.

Xie Yifan came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Boss, don't bother me, I have to take a step ahead today."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the pharmacy owner to speak, Xie Yifan walked straight to the door.

When he was about to step out of the door, Xie Yifan stopped again, pointed to the medicinal materials beside the pharmacy owner, and said, "Don't sell that sulphurated Polygonum multiflorum, it's harmful, so put it away."

"Eh, eh!"

The owner of the pharmacy nodded again and again, and secretly Xie Yifan did as he ordered.

But the pharmacy owner didn't know that it was his enthusiasm that saved his life today, and not long after that, all the drug dealers who entered the batch of Polygonum multiflorum with him were sentenced and almost lost their fortunes.

......

"Sister, I want to eat honey..."

"Wait a little longer, okay, mom and dad will come out soon, let's go home and eat."

"No, I'm going to eat now... woo woo..."

In Xie Yifan's memory, until now there are two shadows, one big and one small, at the gate of Longji. The younger brother is crying and playing around on the ground, just to eat a bite of the food that Longji bought specially from Jingtongwei. Wait for honey.

"For rhubarb, you should buy solid porcelain, not foamy ones; fine materials should be prepared, not scraps; for musk, you should buy Huaibang Du Shengxing...Master Zhang, my daughter's 12th birthday will be in three days, so I must go there Have a glass of wine."

It was the father who said these words, and at this moment, the mother stood beside the father and looked at her husband tenderly, very warm, happy, and satisfied.

However, on the night when my father asked the boss of Long Jihao to drink at his home another day, my younger brother didn’t have time to eat the honey from the Jingtongwei Gang, and my older sister didn’t celebrate her 12th birthday. The happy family of four suddenly suffered a catastrophe. .

Standing at the door of Longji, looking up at the gilded flat that he was no longer familiar with, Xie Yifan burst into tears, his heart dripping blood secretly, and he didn't even feel a trace of his fingernails embedded in the flesh of his palm. pain.
