Invincible Witch Doctor King

Chapter 5

Walking into the yard, Zhao Tian saw Master Jiu sitting on a low stool at a glance, with a bluestone mortar in front of him, pounding with a pestle in his right hand, picking out some herbs from a pile of herbs piled up at his feet with his left hand and throwing them away. go in.

Glancing at an old man in his sixties and seventies who was sitting not far from Master Jiu, Zhao Tian found out that he also knew him, so he quickly greeted him and said, "Grandpa Luo, why are you here?"The old cold leg has committed a crime again? "

Luo Shi, the old village head of Liushui Village next door, is also a very prestigious person in several surrounding villages.

"Hehehe, that's right, the old cold leg has committed a problem again, come and see Master Jiu."

Luo Shi patted his knees. When he was young, he used to mine rocks on the mountain for ten years. At that time, he lived in a damp and cold cave. When he was young, he didn't feel anything. In the past year, when the weather turned cold or it was wet and rainy, I felt a dull pain, and when it was severe, I couldn't even walk.

Zhao Tian walked up to Master Jiu, took the stone pestle, and said, "Master Jiu, let me come, you can chat with Grandpa Zhong."

Pounding medicine is a physical labor, Zhao Tian is naturally eager to take over Master Jiu, so he just picked up the kettle to boil water to make tea, then lit the cigarette stick, and started to puff.

He has been by Jiuye's side since he was a child, and Zhao Tian is no stranger to pounding medicines. He threw handfuls of prepared herbs into the stone mortar, and the stone pestle didn't stop at all, and dense sounds sounded, The herbs have been smashed quickly, and dark green juices began to appear.

"By the way, Zhao Tian, ​​are you here for the college entrance examination? Can you get into college?"

Luo Shi took a sip of the tea prepared by Master Jiu, his brows relaxed.

"Hey, Grandpa Luo, you really don't know which pot you don't open and which pot you carry. I grew up right under your nose. You don't know how much it weighs."

Zhao Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and threw a small handful of herbs into the stone mortar.

"Hahaha!"

Luo Shi laughed loudly, pointed at Lord Jiu and said, "It's okay if you fail the exam, as long as you can learn three points of Master Jiu's skills, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking in this life."

This is the truth.

People who live at the foot of the mountain and rely on the mountain to eat, how can they not suffer from falls, sprains, or colds?

Although Master Jiu is a quack doctor, he is a master, and his reputation at the foot of Wushan Mountain is not small. Although Zhao Tian's studies are not very good, if he can learn some skills from Master Jiu, he can indeed live a good life. , It is not difficult to earn a lot of money.

"Hey!"

Zhao Tian nodded and said, "Of course! That's what I planned."

"Snapped!"

Master Jiu stretched out the cigarette pot, patted Zhao Tian on the head, and said, "Be honest and finish the college entrance examination."

Zhao Tian shrank his neck, but made a face at Luo Shi.

It's just that how can such a small trick of his deceive Master Jiu?With a whole face, he said:
"Zhao Tian, ​​if you want to stay at the foot of Wushan Mountain for the rest of your life, you can follow me, of course, but if you want to go out and live in a big city, then reading is the only way. Now the times are different, let alone , even if you have the ability? If you don’t have a medical license, you can’t work in the city. So, no matter what kind of university you go to, you have to go to the university, not to learn something , but to find a source."

"Yes, that's right, that's the truth. Now the society is different from before. You have to get a certificate for everything, or people will tear down the shop."

Luo Shi also nodded. Although the country people have little knowledge, they still understand this truth very well.

"Well, I understand that."

The college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops to cross. If it had been left before, Zhao Tian really didn’t have much confidence, but it’s different now. Last night, he discovered that clairvoyance can also greatly improve memory. Although it can’t be used for a long time, it can definitely be used Improving grades will undoubtedly add a lot of weight to the upcoming college entrance examination.

"Speaking of this matter, Zhao Tian, ​​today is not the weekend, why are you back? Shouldn't you be at school?"

Master Jiu suddenly remembered this matter, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Tian strangely.Zhao Tian's grades are not good, but he has always been very diligent, and he never does such things as playing truant.

"Hey!"

Zhao Tian smiled at Master Jiu, and immediately said, "Master Jiu, you are so powerful, you guessed right away that I have something to look for you."

"Okay, stop flattering, just talk about something."

Master Jiu is an old man, and he knew Zhao Tian's "bad intentions" as soon as he heard it.

"It's like this, one of my teachers got breast cancer..."

"and many more."

Before Zhao Tian finished speaking, Master Jiu waved his hand and abruptly interrupted, "What did you say? Breast cancer?"

"Yes, that's right, it's breast cancer, Master Jiu, it's just a minor ailment for you, no, it's a problem..."

Looking at Master Jiu's expression of looking at a fool, Zhao Tian couldn't help but gradually lowered his voice, and finally stopped by himself.

Because of Ke Tong, Zhao Tian went online to supplement some knowledge related to breast cancer. Simply put, this thing does not mean that people will definitely die, but it is not easy to cure, or it is very difficult to cure. This is not rich. It can solve the problem——didn’t a few rich celebrities die of this disease?
"Jiu Ye, even if you can't cure it, there is always a way to alleviate or control it?"

Zhao Tian looked at Master Jiu eagerly, this was his last hope.

"Snapped!"

The long tobacco rod in Master Jiu's hand slapped Zhao Tian's head hard, his eyes widened, and he said, "Do you think I can cure this kind of disease? If I can cure it, I need to be stupefied." In Fanshi Village, a place where birds don't shit?"

"This one……"

Zhao Tian was suddenly dumbfounded, he realized that his thinking was too simple.

That's right, if Master Jiu could cure such a disease, how could he stay in Fanshi Village?

In recent years, breast cancer has become the number one killer of women. If Master Jiu can cure such a disease, he will definitely thrive. It is impossible for him to be a grassroots doctor in Fanshi Village.

"Master Jiu, in order not to affect us who are about to take the college entrance examination, that teacher decided not to treat the illness first, so you can't think of a way? Or...Master Jiu, I'll bring him here for you to have a look first ?”

Master Jiu shook his head and said: "Zhao Tian, ​​you kid has also studied medicine with me for many years, and you should understand a truth, that is, medicine can never kill a disease, and a doctor is not a panacea. There is no way, even if you bring someone here, I can't do anything."

Zhao Tian's face was very ugly, and the movement of smashing the medicine in his hands stopped at some point, and there was no reaction for a long time.

Master Jiu was smoking the pipe in a "puffing" manner. He understood Zhao Tian's mood very well at this time, but understanding was nothing but understanding. He really couldn't cure this disease.

"Zhao Tian, ​​put this matter aside for now, it's getting late, hurry up and make the medicine, and I'm waiting."

"Oh well."

Zhao Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood. He knew that Master Jiu was not cold-blooded, but that he was used to life and death. On the contrary, he was too tender in this respect.

Concentrating on the hands, the action of pounding the medicine is a little faster, and the fresh herbs exude a unique taste after being crushed.

"Master Jiu, the medicine...is ready."

Master Jiu nodded lightly, and said to Luo Shi: "Old man Luo, let Zhao Tian take action tonight, how about it?"

"Okay, no problem, let this kid try it out. My broken leg is already broken, so I'm not afraid of it no matter how you treat it. Besides, aren't you just by the side?"

Luo Shi nodded and agreed.

"I?"

Zhao Tian pointed to his nose and couldn't believe his ears.

Although it is said that he has been studying medicine with Master Jiu for some years, but before that, he only memorized soup recipes to distinguish herbs and the like, and practiced it by himself, but he never really treated people seriously.

"Snapped!"

Master Jiu slapped Zhao Tian directly on the forehead with another cigarette stick, "I'll give you a chance to get started, and I'll be yelling!"

"Hey. I just feel like pie in the sky, I can't believe it."

Zhao Tian rubbed his head, he was never a good baby in front of Master Jiu.

"Just like what I told you, first use the juice to massage, and finally apply the powdered medicine. Do you remember the acupuncture points that were massaged?"

"of course I remember."

Zhao Tian nodded, carefully fished out the powdered medicine from the stone mortar and put it in a bowl. Zhao Tian picked up a piece of gauze, rubbed the medicine juice on Luo Shi's knee, and then started to massage.

Old cold legs are actually rheumatism.Generally speaking, all diseases that cause bone, joint or muscle pain can be called rheumatism. From this perspective, rheumatism includes hundreds of diseases. According to modern medical research, there are many types of rheumatism according to the etiology, such as Infectious, metabolic, immune, endocrine, genetic, etc.

Zhao Tian didn't know much about these things, but that didn't mean he knew how to treat them.Luo Shi had to come several times a year. Zhao Tian used to beat him when Master Jiu made his move. Although his academic performance is not very good, he has a little talent in this area. He has massage techniques and acupuncture points. I have already memorized it by heart.

So he was not afraid at all, but a little excited, this was the first time he was treating a disease!

"Grandpa Luo, your disease is not easy to cure."

Zhao Tian gently massaged Luo Shi's knee. The characteristics of rheumatism are very troublesome and difficult to cure.

"Hehehe, I'm used to it."

Luo Shi waved his hand, with a helpless smile on his face, this disease has haunted him for many years, of course he knew, "Apply some medicine, it will not hurt so much, I guess I won't be able to get rid of the root in this life."

Zhao Tian nodded lightly, didn't speak any more, and concentrated on massaging. As soon as he concentrated, he immediately found that the perspective was activated again, and Luo Shi's entire knee could be clearly seen. The thing that caught his attention was the cup. The whole piece under the kneecap like a lid has turned pale yellow, with traces of pus and blood and a trace of white foam mixed in the middle.

"What does a rheumatic knee look like?"

Zhao Tian blinked vigorously, this was the first time he saw his rheumatic knee, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Grandpa Luo, bear with me, I will give you a little force, it may hurt a little."

After a while of gentle massage, Zhao Tian found that Luo Shi's knees had become warm, and he knew it was time to use some strength.

"Okay, use more force, my old bones are under pressure."

Luo Shi nodded, and sat upright a little.

Jiuye didn't speak, just smoked one puff after another, and the thick smoke spit out from his mouth, as if to cover his whole body, but if you look carefully, you can find his half-closed eyes Staring at Zhao Tian's hands.This time, Zhao Tian was asked to do it on a temporary basis. One was that Zhao Tian had studied medicine with him for many years, and it was time for him to try it out.The other one is that Luo Shi is an acquaintance, and it is an old wound, so it is more suitable for Zhao Tian to treat it - no new wound will be healed.

However, even though it was Zhao Tian who got started, as a "master", he had to keep an eye on him, and if there was something wrong with his technique, he would immediately correct him, and he couldn't relax for a moment.
