Practicing business and practicing medicine

Zhangwang Village is a village that combines traditional water town style with modern vitality. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with green mountains and beautiful water. Every breath of air they breathe is filled with sweet, moist and refreshing freshness. Good mountains, good water and good place!

The village roads are paved with bluestone slabs, simple and quiet. Over the years, many places have been mottled and broken. The engineers have carefully repaired all the missing parts with stones, special cement, or pebbles... It is full of special artistic beauty.

Standardized rural circuits, high-speed broadband, highly modern drainage canals... The good impression of Zhangwang Village is very different from those underdeveloped villages in Bian Mu's hometown.

"No wonder Mr. Mi hides here. It turns out that this place is so beautiful..." Bian Mu thought to himself.

Medicine ropes, medicine incense, medicine banners... Once upon a time, they were all special medicines used by traditional Chinese medicine experts to treat and save people. 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 professional doctors, and one of them is quite interesting. People are used to calling it "unique". For example, there is a family named Liu, who has been specializing in treating bronchitis syndrome for generations, and also helps people with pneumonia. Of course, oral and ear diseases can be treated occasionally if a certain generation of descendants is very smart. Under normal circumstances, the effect is often very significant.

If patients come to them for other types of diseases, the doctors will often refuse them with a smile, be indifferent, not explain, and not earn a penny of money that should not be earned.

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 tradition, unique treatment, confidential medication, clear thinking... with 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 it is, only God knows. If we speculate from this... the village doctor Lao Mi may be a good Chinese medicine practitioner who has retired from the world after failing in the martial arts world.

The village doctor Lao Mi occupies three bungalows at the east end of the village. The two in the front are used as a proper village clinic. Another one is built on the west side, just to block the biting northwest wind. Bian Mu is proficient in Chinese studies. Standing in the yard and observing for a few times, he feels that the architectural design of this clinic should be Lao Mi's idea, with yin and yang in harmony and four dimensions. Lao Mi stays here all day to treat people, at least he can ensure that he will not get sick to the greatest extent.

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. There is nothing else, it blocks the wind, covers privacy, and does not leak yang energy... A large number of mulberry trees are planted inside and outside the wall. It can be estimated that the tallest one has grown to more than ten meters high, and each tree is lush and leafy.

Fortunately, the mulberry trees were carefully planned in advance and did 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 bureau.

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

The open space in front of the village clinic was rammed with river sand. It is estimated that there are a lot of pebbles and gravel underneath. The area is quite large. The surface looks very flat, and there is no debris piled on it. There is almost no wheel mark. I think the villagers even respect him. Usually, they go to the clinic to see a doctor in a hurry and don't stay too much. No one dares to stop here. There was not even a trace of chicken shit, dog poop, pig filth, etc.

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 clinic was built very low, with an iron fence built on it, the kind of metal fence in the town.

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

There is a soapberry tree near the middle of the metal fence, with a huge crown and a very large trunk. Anyway, 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 big eyes with sharp eyes, staring at Bian Mu and the others 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 getting a little hot and humid, and the two found a wooden bench opposite the guard dog to sit down and rest for a while, with the special gifts in their hands resting on the other side of the bench.

"It's strange! That dog is usually very fierce! What's wrong with it today?! So honest... Is it sick?" Old Hou said a few words with a smile.

"You have kung fu energy, and you are so 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.

"Near the village-run primary school, the old man has a small courtyard, which is very tidy."

"Oh! How is your wife?"

"The old lady was originally a teacher in a middle school. She seemed to teach chemistry. I asked her once. She was not in good health. I chatted with her when I was collecting ducks. She loved to grow flowers. She planted a lot of flowers at home and outside. You could smell the fragrance of flowers from afar."

"Are the old man's children all developing in other places?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

"I'm not sure. It seems that he has a son and a daughter. The villagers are not very familiar with his family affairs. However, 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... So that's it..."

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

The old man was tall and thin, with a medicine basket on his back and a sickle in his left hand lazily. Bian Mu was sharp-eyed and recognized it at a glance. It was a specially made "Mountain Opening and Moon-Combining Scythe", which was definitely not an ordinary farm tool. To be precise, it should be an old-style alloy weapon made mainly of wrought iron.

Old Hou was very perceptive. He hurried over to take the medicine basket carried by the village doctor Lao Mi. When he was about to take the medicine basket along with the "Mountain Opening and Moon Scythe", the old village doctor smiled and declined!

Interesting!

"Teacher Mi! Hello! I, the junior student Bian Mu, came to visit you. I am so rude. Please forgive me!" Bian Mu stepped forward and saluted the old village doctor.

"Humph! You are so famous! This temperament... looks so immature! You said you were 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 will not accept anything I don't like!" Wow! The old village doctor was really rude.
