Legend had it that there was a miracle-working doctor living in the Shennongjia district of the Bamboo Forest County, which was in the city of the Qing Dynasty. However, he did not run a clinic and lived a leisurely life like a wild crane. It was only by fate that he could meet him.
In the eyes of those who had seen him, he was just an ordinary farmer. In the eyes of those that had never seen him, he was a legend. Whether there was such a person or not was unknown. But speaking of his legend, there were far more than one or two things.
A farmer died two years ago, and he was about to be buried. Just in time, Dr. Li went down the mountain to purchase. He stopped the burial with only one look. After he was stabbed with a needle, he was alive. People in the village all said that he had the ability to resurrect the dead.
Three months ago, Ye Fei's mother had a very serious congenital illness. She was sentenced to death by the director of the hospital in the city. There was no other way but to change her kidney.
In the face of a huge sum of medical expenses, Ye Fei was unable to bear it. When he was desperate, he thought of Great Doctor Li, who lived in seclusion in the mountains. He traveled a long way to the mountains to find him on his mother's back. He spent a lot of effort to find someone in the mountains. The legend was true. He prescribed prescriptions and every day of acupuncture to cure his mother's disease.
Today, Ye Fei came to see Great Doctor Li again. But this time, he was not here to treat his mother, let alone to get the medicine. His only purpose today was to learn medicine.
After three months of getting to know each other, Ye Fei understood the character of Great Doctor Li. He wanted to pass on his medical skills, but it was an indisputable fact that traditional Chinese medicine had declined in modern times. If he got sick, he would go to major hospitals to treat him. He didn't look at other things first, and he had to find Huang Niu to register in line. Otherwise, he couldn't be listed at all.
It took him a lot of effort to get on the list. After a simple examination by the attending physician, he would first take a picture of the patient, the patient, the patient's health, and the patient's magnetic core. After several thousand yuan was spent, the diagnosis would be confirmed, and then the treatment would be done. The minor drip would be 800 per hour, and the worst would be more than 180 million yuan. The minor illness would be cured, which was really difficult for ordinary families to bear.
However, Great Doctor Li was different. He did not rely on scientific instruments to treat and save people. By observing people's expressions and feeling their pulses, he was sure that the symptoms were almost accurate. It would not cost him much money to make prescriptions.
Ye Fei's mother's illness was cured with less than 2,000 yuan in the Third A-class Hospital. How amazing it was!
It was not Ye Fei's whim that he decided to become a disciple. It was because he had thought it over. He wanted to learn medicine. He wanted to be like Doctor Li, who helped the world and treated people. He wanted to be a respected doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, not a quack in the big hospital who only regarded money as money.
Passing the mountain pass, Ye Fei saw a bamboo house, a mud house, and a field dog in the yard. There were also some chickens, ducks, and livestock. Next to the door of the mud house hung dried corn and chili. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a farm, and there was no sign of a reclusive master living there.
But Ye Fei knew in his heart that Doctor Li, who had cured his mother's condition, lived in this plain farm yard.
Taking a deep breath, he firmly walked through the farm yard and went straight into the hall. An old man in his 60s was sweeping the floor. He was wearing an old Chinese tunic suit and an old leader's hat on his head. His exposed hair was full of white hair. Occasionally, he looked more like a teacher in the village. He was the legendary Magic Doctor Li. When he saw Ye Fei, he asked in surprise,
"Why are you here today? Have you finished your medicine?"
"No." Ye Fei looked up at him and said firmly, "Dr. Li, I want to study medicine. Can you teach me?"
"Why did you suddenly want to study medicine? Stop it. Go home and take care of your mother." Dr. Li scolded and continued to sweep the floor.
Ye Fei was anxious. "I'm sincere. It's not a whim. I want to learn medicine from you to save people, not to make money, but to save people."
Doctor Li raised his head and looked at Ye Fei for a long time. He put down the broom and said thoughtfully, "Do you know how hard it is to study medicine?"
"No matter how hard I work, I can persevere." Ye Fei expressed his determination.
"Don't you know that studying medicine also depends on talent?"
Ye Fei didn't expect this. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. "Stupid doesn't matter. I can fly first. As long as you teach me, I will definitely learn."
"Alas." Doctor Li sighed again and said slowly, "Silly boy, you think too simply."
He paused and said thoughtfully,
"There's an old saying in traditional Chinese medicine. It goes, 'It's passed down from the inside to the outside.' It's said that it's passed down from generation to generation. There's also this saying. Let's not talk about the Ancestral Behest. Your modern children don't have a long-term character. They spend three days in fishing and two days in the Internet. I've taught several disciples before, but they all gave up halfway. You'd better stop fooling around and go home."
"I'm different from them." Seeing that there was a chance, Ye Fei suddenly knelt on the ground. "I heard from you before that your son doesn't study medicine. Master, I sincerely acknowledge you as my master. Please accept me. I swear that I won't give up halfway. I will definitely teach you a lesson and then, like you, help the world and save people."
"Kid, get up. Will you kneel down and do anything?" Dr. Li stepped forward to help him, but Ye Fei pouted and said, "If you don't agree, I won't get up."
"Kid, get up first. I'll talk to you first and tell you the rules of studying medicine with me."
After hearing Doctor Li's words, Ye Fei reacted for a moment and then stood up excitedly. He first called "master" and then stood aside with a smile on his face.
"This child." Dr. Li smiled and said, "What about the certificate of traditional Chinese medicine that the country has acknowledged? It requires a teacher and a disciple to take nine years to get the qualification of an assistant doctor. After getting the qualification, you don't have the right of prescription. It will take another three years for you to get the qualification of a doctor. Only then can you write a prescription to cure the disease. So you follow me to study medicine. It will take you at least 12 years to become a doctor. Do you understand?"
"Not to mention nine years and twelve years, as long as you are willing to teach me, I will learn as much as I can in the next ninety years."
"You still have a bad temper." Doctor Li stood up straight, pointed at Ye Fei's nose and said, "Remember what you just said. If you give up halfway, be careful that I will break your legs."
Ye Fei raised three fingers as an oath. "If I give up halfway, I'll kill myself myself. I don't need you to do anything."
"Well, I'll give you a chance to enter the sect, but you have to pass the test first. Let's see your talent first. If you don't pass the test, it means that you don't have enough talent. Besides, it's useless. I still can't accept you."
"Ah, what kind of test?" Ye Fei's face instantly turned bitter.
"Well, that's difficult. To tell you the truth, it's much harder to learn traditional Chinese medicine than in the West Heaven." Dr. Li said firmly, "Is traditional Chinese medicine an inheritance of ancient experience, or a practical practice method? When facing patients, you have to learn his medical history through looking, listening, listening, and questioning. According to the clinical phenomenon, you know what disease the patient has. Then, you should give prescriptions and prescriptions according to the experience of the doctor. Every time you see a doctor, you will test him. If you don't have enough talent, even if I teach you, you won't be able to learn it. I don't want to waste any effort."
"Alright, I'll take the test. I believe that I'll definitely become your disciple." Ye Fei's tone was very firm, as if he was encouraging himself.
"Child, let me prepare. Come to my house tomorrow morning and I'll arrange the exam questions for you. If you fail, don't think about it."
"Thank you, Master, for giving me a chance." Ye Fei smiled and bowed, repeatedly thanking Dr. Li for his understanding.
"Go home and take care of your mother."
"I'll go back now." Ye Fei left with a smile. Just as Dr. Li picked up the broom and was about to sweep the floor, Ye Fei poked his head out and came back.
Dr. Li took a look and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Fei licked his face and said, "Master, what are you going to test me for tomorrow? Give me some hints. I'll go home and prepare for it first. If I can't succeed tomorrow, I'll be happy for nothing."
"Child, if I told you in advance, would it still be called an exam?"
Ye Fei licked his face and said with a smile, "Isn't there a paper-opening exam in the school?"
When Dr. Li saw that Ye Fei was making a fool of himself, he threatened him with a broom. "Leave now, or I'll beat you up."
Ye Fei turned and ran. "Master, don't be angry. I'll leave right away."
Seeing that Ye had flown far away, Dr. Li smiled faintly. He happily went into the backyard and shouted, "Old woman, give me a pot of wine."
The old woman in the yard was setting up a table. When she saw that the old man wanted to drink, she looked puzzled. "What's the happy event today? Why are you drinking so early in the morning?"
Dr. Li sat at the dining table and said with a smile, "You don't know that I am looking forward to a good disciple every day."
"Well, are you going to take me as your disciple?"
"The child of Old Ye in the countryside is the child whose mother had a heart disease. The next day, he carried her mother to do acupuncture."
"This child is so kind and filial, but can he have a long life? Don't be like our child. And your disciples won't learn after a few days?"
Doctor Li stroked his beard and thought, "I don't think so. This child has a broad forehead and a wide mind. His lips are thick and he is loyal. His nose is straight, his back is straight, and his eyes are bright. He is a person who can do things for a long time."
"You're just a doctor. When did you learn to look at people's faces?" The female teacher muttered, "I don't know who it is. At that time, you've accepted so many disciples, but later, you've all changed."
"Don't mention it when it's not open. Hurry up and get some wine."
...
People were born with fear for unknown things.
On the way home, Ye Fei was frowning. Although Doctor Li said that he could accept him as a disciple, this test was like a big stone that weighed down on his heart.
First of all, Ye Fei didn't know how talented he was in medicine, and he didn't even know if he could pass the test tomorrow. Ye Fei insisted on taking him as his teacher. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. If one wanted to study medicine, he might have to take Doctor Li as his teacher. But when Doctor Li treated Ye Fei's mother, he once said,
A doctor was able to cure all living things in the world and save the world from suffering. He did not seek fame for money, nor was he forced and tempted by others. He could be called a doctor if he did not care about his country or his clan.
Nowadays, in this money society, doctors with excellent medical skills and deep sense of justice were nowhere to be found.
From then on, Ye Fei's belief was extremely firm.
"I want to learn Chinese Medicine from Dr. Li!"
