The Wheel-Turning Master

Soybean-like raindrops fell, stimulating the smell of fresh soil.

As the thunder roared, the raindrops began to pour from sparse to dense during the tea time.

Lin Bai first hid the silver, and then used the rainwater under the eaves to wash away the blood stains on the hatchets and throwing knives.

Go back to the room, light the oil lamp, take off your clothes, and carefully check whether there are any blood stains on them.

After everything checked, I sat down and thought about today's gains and losses.

This action was a bit reckless, but at least the rain covered up the traces. This opportunity must be seized.

But we still can’t be careless. We need to sell straw sandals conscientiously in the next few days without showing off our flaws. At the same time, be extra cautious and stay away immediately if the limelight goes wrong.

As for the money I got today, I have to keep it secret and not reveal it easily.

The plan for now is to accumulate food and build high walls. Time is on your side, and strengthening yourself is the right thing to do.

"When the short-term crisis is over, we should start planning for the future."

Lin Bai held up the lanterns and made plans for the future.

The most important thing is to continue practicing the art of flying knives, which requires at least ten years of skill.

The second step is to learn something else. The sword manual says that the power of the flying knife will be doubled if it is supplemented by light skills and internal skills, so the light skills and internal skills must be arranged. Then there are also sword skills, sword skills, etc. Read more books and learn Some medical skills or something.

If you have many skills, you will not be overwhelmed, and you will be strong. If you retire, you can become a rich man, if you advance, you can strive for a career.

Then there is the debt problem. I was sick before and owed Baicaotang three coins. Today's "accidental income" cannot be used, so I have to pay it back slowly.

"The first step is to kill everyone, and the second step is to worry about the debt of three coins..."

Lin Bai planned to go to Baicaotang tomorrow. Although he couldn't pay back the money for the time being, he still had to tell people because of the situation.

As an honest person, Lin Bai didn't think it was the uncle who owed money. Besides, the reputation of Baicaotang is not bad. When I was ill, I even got medicine on credit. I have to recognize this friendship.

Of course, I'll see if I can borrow a medical book to take a look at it then.

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai sat on the bed, closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and appeared in the stone disk space again.

One night passed by in a hurry, and when I opened my eyes again, it was still raining heavily outside.

It was still dark at this time, so I washed myself briefly and cooked rice porridge.

Since practicing flying knives, the strength of the whole body has been greatly enhanced, and the appetite has also increased. I don't feel it in the stone plate space, but in reality, I feel hungry from time to time.

Moreover, I really want to eat meat, especially Sister Zhen’s meat buns.

I cooked the porridge and ate two sorghum pancakes with pickles, which was enough for breakfast.

The rain hadn't stopped yet, and seeing that he couldn't get out of the stall, Lin Bai was ready to go to Baicaotang.

Put on your raincoat and hat. There are many people walking on the street. They are all poor people in Beicheng who are struggling to make a living. They also have to work on rainy days.

There was nothing unusual on the street. The incident between Qi Wangzu and his wife probably hadn't happened yet. I don’t know if the club will order it, otherwise it will drag on for a few days...it’s summer, don’t stink.

After leaving the alley and crossing two streets, Lin Bai came to Baicaotang.

This Baicaotang is not large in scale, with only a small shop along the street. It deals with the business of poor people. The head of the house is Bai, an old doctor in his sixties or seventies.

The level is average, difficult problems cannot be solved, and the headaches and brain fever are not bad.

Moreover, Dr. Bai is kind-hearted, pays fairly for diagnosis, and can be credited, so he has a very good reputation. In the Beicheng area, even the several gangs that were entrenched rarely gave Baicaotang trouble.

There was no one else in the lobby, except for a girl about ten years old, who was sitting on a low stool, concentrating on crushing medicine.

This girl's name is Zhong Xiuxiu, and she is Doctor Bai's granddaughter. As for his parents, I heard they are dead.

On weekdays, only Doctor Bai and Zhong Xiuxiu visit Baicaotang to get medicine.

When Zhong Xiuxiu heard the footsteps, she looked up at Lin Bai, who was picking up his bamboo hat. A happy smile appeared on his little face, and she asked expectantly: "Are you here to pay back the money for the soup and medicine? The medical fee is waived, and the medicine is three cents." She stopped grinding the medicine and stretched out three tiny fingers.

Lin Bai: "..."

When Zhong Xiuxiu saw Lin Bai's apologetic look, she knew she was not here to pay back the money. She immediately suppressed her smile and lowered her head to crush the medicine again, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Xiuxiu, where is Doctor Bai?" Lin Bai took off his raincoat and squatted down, with a smile on his face.

"I'm on a medical visit." Zhong Xiuxiu's tone was not refreshing and she didn't even look at Lin Bai.

"Are you tired of grinding the medicine? How about I help you?" Lin Bai put his hot face on it.

Zhong Xiuxiu finally raised her head, looked at Lin Bai suspiciously, and said seriously: "The help is not worth the medicine."

"Of course." Lin Bai nodded.

Zhong Xiuxiu still looked at Lin Bai, as if judging Lin Bai's character. After hesitating for a while, she finally stood up and said, "Then do it."

Lin Bai sat down, grinding the medicine in his hand. Zhong Xiuxiu stood up straight, stretched, yawned, and took another sip of herbal tea. Then she sat across from Lin Bai and taught Lin Bai how to grind the medicine.

"See, your arms are strong and you're not panting or sweating. Is your illness completely cured?" Zhong Xiuxiu asked.

"Doctor Bai's wonderful skills can cure diseases with medicine." Lin Bai praised.

"I can't help you pay for your medicine even if you say nice things." Zhong Xiuxiu became serious again.

"I didn't plan to pay it back in the first place. I planned to run away tonight." Lin Bai also followed her example, with a serious look on his face.

"How could you do this?" Zhong Xiuxiu was stunned, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Lin Bai smiled, lowered his head and crushed the medicine.

Zhong Xiuxiu looked at Lin Bai and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything. She could only curl her lips and stare, as if she was afraid that Lin Bai would run away.

After half an hour, Doctor Bai finally came back. He also wears a raincoat and a bamboo hat. His figure is slightly stooped, but he is still in good spirits.

"Grandpa, you are back." Zhong Xiuxiu stepped forward quickly and helped Doctor Bai take off his raincoat.

"Doctor Bai." Lin Bai stood up and cupped his hands.

Doctor Bai looked at Lin Bai carefully, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Looking at your face, you should be feeling better."

"He is already well! Grandpa, please ignore him." Zhong Xiuxiu glared at Lin Bai, helped Doctor Bai sit down, and poured hot tea.

"Reach out your hand." Doctor Bai sat down with a gentle smile on his face.

Lin Bai honestly stretched out his hand, and Doctor Bai felt his pulse with two fingers. After a moment, he nodded and said with a smile: "He is indeed a young man, and his health is getting better quickly. The pulse is strong and strong. It doesn't look like he has been sick, but more like a practitioner." "

"Doctor Bai's wonderful skills..." Lin Bai then realized that he shouldn't have asked Doctor Bai to take a pulse, but the matter had come to this point and there was no way to undo it. He could only change the topic, cupped his hand again, and said: "Doctor Bai, I have never forgotten the three yuan of soup and medicine I owed, but my family is poor and I asked Doctor Bai to stay for a while. "

Zhong Xiuxiu glanced at Lin Bai, and then quietly tugged on Dr. Bai's sleeve.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you don't have the money, just wait for a while. You are young, as long as you are practical, are you afraid that you won't make money?" Doctor Bai waved his hand, looked at Zhong Xiuxiu again, and said with a loving face: "You kid, you are pulling me. What do the sleeves do?”

"..." Zhong Xiuxiu lowered her head and said nothing.

"Doctor Bai's benevolence and righteousness will be deeply appreciated by the younger generation." Lin Bai cupped his hands again and asked for advice seriously: "Doctor Bai, after experiencing this illness, I also want to learn some medical skills, so I want to ask Dr. Bai for advice. Beginners What book should I read?”

Hearing this, Zhong Xiuxiu turned her head and frowned at Lin Bai, as if she didn't believe it.

Doctor Bai then stroked his beard and hummed, then shook his head and said, "It's too difficult to teach yourself."

"Is there any explanation?" Lin Bai knew it was difficult, but wasn't there a stone plate?

"You must first understand the principles of yin and yang and the five elements, that is, the internal organs and veins, qi, blood, body fluids, acupuncture points and meridians; then learn how to diagnose, which is the four diagnosis and eight cardinal principles; then you need to identify various types of herbs and memorize various prescriptions. And the corresponding symptoms; in the end, of course, how to treat the disease, you need to see more cases and see more patients. It will take less than ten years to waste people's lives. There are also acupuncture, pediatric and women's diseases, and specialized doctors will not do it. Those who teach medical skills. As for difficult and complicated diseases, you need Xinglin’s expert skills.”

Doctor Bai stroked his beard and talked a lot, took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Bai, and asked: "Really want to learn? This stuff can't be learned overnight. If you want to master it, you must also read the Essentials of the Nei Jing, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Treatise on Febrile Diseases, It is necessary to memorize the prescriptions of herbs, treat diseases and decoctions. Those who are self-taught are most likely to go astray. I have seen many self-taught medicine practitioners who often end up dead or disabled after taking their own medicine."

"Doctor Bai, this junior wants to give it a try." Lin Bai humbly handed over his hand again.

"You are a young man after all." Doctor Bai smiled, stood up, went under the medicine cabinet, pulled out an old book, and said: "This is "Nei Jing Tong Yao", take it and read it, if there is anything you don't understand. , ask me again.”

"Thank you, Mr. Bai. If I don't understand anything, please come back and ask for advice." Lin Bai took it with respectful hands.

"My family does not accept apprentices." Zhong Xiuxiu reminded seriously, and then added: "Remember to return it." She carried Doctor Bai on her back and stretched out three fingers to indicate not to forget the three coins.
