"The war disaster is coming. Everyone in the village has left. You should go, too."
After the eldest brother left, the second brother packed up his luggage and came to his descendant's house with the cradle on his back. He said, "I'm old and can't go anywhere. I'd better go around to treat the refugees. You still have a long time to live. Don't worry about me."
Because his wife died early.
Second Brother wholeheartedly devoted himself to studying and learning medical skills. In addition, he devoted all of his attention to guarding his master's medicinal garden. As a result, he had separated from his children early on.
After telling his family.
The second brother left with the cradle on his back.
He knew that the war disaster would soon affect the Peach Blossom Village. At that time, no one could escape. Staying in the village and waiting to die, it would be better to go out and travel like he did decades ago and save more patients and wounded in this chaotic world.
Before he left.
The second brother took all his master's tools with him. He also put the Chinese herbs he planted and dried in the herb garden in the cradle, as well as his master's notes of traditional Chinese medicine.
He left the Peach Blossom Village.
The second brother set out according to the route he remembered.
Along the way, he met a lot of refugees. He took out the dry food he carried with him and the wild vegetables he picked on the roadside for the refugees to eat. He began to treat the refugees.
In this case, many refugees spontaneously followed him.
In the eyes of these refugees, the second brother was their only support. It was definitely a very luxurious thing to follow a doctor in this chaotic world.
Otherwise, the government would not spend so much effort to come to the Peach Blossom Village to escort the first brother away.
Along the way.
Because of Second Brother's existence, the number of refugees continued to increase, from a small group to a large group. All the refugees followed Second Brother, and when they met other injured refugees on the way, they would immediately go up to ask about their injuries and treatment.
However.
Not long after.
The bandits came.
With the war disaster, the whole world was in chaos. All the mountain bandits went down the mountain, burning and looting along the way, killing a lot of people.
The news of the bandits made the second brother very flustered. He hurriedly asked the refugees who followed him to leave.
But in a few days.
After the refugees left, a group of bandits on horseback rushed to the village where the second brother was. When they saw the second brother, they raised their sabers and wanted to kill him without saying a word.
When some of the refugees saw this, they all came forward to kowtow and beg for mercy.
When there were only one or two people who begged for mercy, the bandits would still laugh out loud in disdain. However, as more and more refugees appeared, more and more people came forward to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Soon, the refugees who were pleading on Second Brother's behalf gathered together.
The thugs took a look.
He didn't expect that Second Brother would have so many refugees supporting him. He thought that there were too many refugees and it wasn't good for him to clash with them to prevent himself from being affected by the battle. Thus, he spared Second Brother's life and quickly left.
With his life saved, Second Brother continued to treat the refugees.
Because he was old, and because he had always held the original intention of saving people, wherever there was a war, wherever there was a disaster, Second Brother would go there. He did not care about his own life at all, and everything he did was for the sake of saving people.
That was all.
Second Brother was on the battlefield, saving people everywhere.
Not only did they save the injured bandits, but they also saved the sick soldiers and countless civilians.
Finally.
The war was over, and the bandits were all gone.
Second Brother, who was on the verge of death, returned to his hometown. He returned to the Peach Blossom Village, which was completely different from before.
After the disaster subsided.
Many people in the village had come back.
After Second Brother returned to the village, he went directly to his master's grave.
It was accompanied by wine and incense.
"Master."
Second Brother lit a stick of incense for his master and said, "This is the last time I will visit your grave. The war and bandits are over, and I have saved many people. I always remember what you taught me, but I have let you down."
"I'm not talented and my medical skills are very poor. If my medical skills were better, many people could be cured. It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I'm not skilled enough. Those people could have been cured …"
As he muttered, Second Brother, who had reached the end of his life, his voice gradually weakened.
Finally.
He leaned against his master's tombstone and stopped breathing.
On that day, many people from other villages came to Peach Blossom Village to look for and thank Second Brother. They were all refugees during the war and bandits.
However.
When they arrived.
They found that Second Brother was already dead.
At that time, many refugees were in contact with each other. Through these people, those who had been saved by Second Brother came from all places to see him off.
Because they were grateful for Second Brother's kindness of sacrificing himself to save others in troubled times, people who had received Second Brother's kindness spontaneously donated money to build an ancestral hall for Second Brother.
It was called, the Temple of Magic Doctors!
And Second Brother, who could not reach the level of medical skills of the first brother in his life, became a legendary doctor after his death.
Seeing this.
Fang Qiu only felt a shock all over his body.
As if even his soul was trembling.
"This, this is a magic doctor?!"
While he was shocked, Fang Qiu suddenly understood.
And everything in front of him.
It gradually faded away. The picture returned to the Peach Blossom Village at the beginning.
This time, there was no one in the village.
Everything, was over.
Fang Qiu turned his head and looked.
Suddenly.
The 48 people in front of him turned and left one by one.
Fang Qiu also knew that everything recorded here was completely over. There would be no more information if he continued to stay.
Thinking of this.
Fang Qiu turned and was ready to leave.
But at this time.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter.
Hearing the laughter, Fang Qiu immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw.
The person who laughed was one of the 48 people. This was a man who looked like a Taoist. He carried a long sword on his back. At first glance, he looked righteous.
While laughing.
The Taoist suddenly shook all over. The long sword on his back was immediately unsheathed. It circled around his body like a dragon coming out of the sea. After a few circles, it flew into his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of the sword shook the sky.
The Taoist waved his right hand. An extremely sharp Sword Qi burst out and went straight to the sky!
"Since ancient times, magic doctors can save people, but who can kill evil spirits?"
A question.
As the Sword Qi rose to the sky, spread.
As the sword fell, the Taoist laughed and turned to leave.
But Fang Qiu's eyes were fiercely attracted by the Taoist's sword.
No.
Not attracted.
Instead, he was stunned.
The Taoist's sword strike shocked Fang Qiu. Although it was just one sword strike, Fang Qiu could not feel it. With just one sword strike, Fang Qiu had a hint of understanding in his heart.
This sword was too powerful!
Staring at the Sword Qi rising to the sky, Fang Qiu didn't recover from the shock until the Sword Qi collapsed and disappeared. He cupped his hands to the back of the Taoist who had turned to leave and then left.
"Swoosh."
His eyes darkened and then brightened.
Everything around him was back on track.
In front of him was the back hall of Shennong Temple. In front of him was the stone book inlaid on the wall. The moonlight was still shining on the stone book, and the stone book was still absorbing the moonlight.
"Hiss …"
Taking a deep breath, Fang Qiu took out his phone to check the time. He found that although he saw the life of two people, only two hours had passed.
"I just watched a movie."
Slowly exhaling, Fang Qiu murmured to himself. Then, he raised his head and looked at the moon hanging high in the sky.
He was lost in thought.
"Is there no real miracle-working doctor in this world?"
"Is there really no miracle-working doctor in this realm?"
"This is the only place that records the method of miracle-working doctor. Even this place doesn't exist. Does it mean that there is no way to become a miracle-working doctor?"
"Or, miracle-working doctor is not a realm, but a kind of recognition. A doctor who is recognized by the people is a miracle-working doctor?"
Thinking and thinking.
Fang Qiu couldn't help shaking his head.
He couldn't figure it out. He wasn't sure whether it was true or not.
Thinking.
Fang Qiu thought of the two completely different lives he saw in the stone book.
"They are not wrong."
Thinking back, Fang Qiu shook his head gently and murmured, "Both my senior brother and junior brother saved a lot of people. They both have the moral character of a doctor. They both take saving people as their foundation and are kind-hearted."
"But in the end, the senior brother who had reached the level of a holy doctor became an imperial doctor. But the junior brother who only reached the level of a bright doctor became a miracle-working doctor."
"Alas …"
Fang Qiu sighed softly.
He knew that his eldest brother had a good heart. If he didn't have his family to rely on, if he had chosen to save people in this chaotic world with his second brother, perhaps he would have become a legendary doctor. Or perhaps he would have lost his life when the bandits broke out.
There were too many uncertainties in one's life.
Even though the eldest brother didn't become a miracle-working doctor, he had a stable environment and a peaceful old age.
He shook his head.
Fang Qiu didn't think about it anymore.
He knew that it wouldn't work if he kept thinking like this.
Under the moonlight, Fang Qiu observed the stone book again. He wanted to see if he could see anything else.
It was late at night.
The Shennong Shrine was locked.
Of course.
Even if it was locked, it wouldn't be able to trap Fang Qiu.
However, in order to hide his identity, Fang Qiu couldn't use any of his internal Qi. As a normal Chinese medicine practitioner, he wouldn't climb over the wall. Especially the wall of the Shennong Shrine.
Under such circumstances, Fang Qiu didn't leave the Shennong Shrine. Instead, he observed for a long time to make sure there was nothing wrong with the stone book. Then, he found a clean spot in the back hall and sat down with his legs crossed.
Until the next day. At dawn.
At half past five, Fang Qiu practiced boxing in the back hall.
At six o 'clock, a staff came to open the door. Fang Qiu left the Shennong Shrine.
He didn't stay in the small town.
Fang Qiu rented a car and quickly returned to Yuji City, which was five kilometers away. He came to the high-speed railway station.
On the way.
Fang Qiu was thinking carefully about what he saw last night.
Therefore, when he arrived at the high-speed railway station, Fang Qiu ran into a small shop in the station and bought a pen and a notebook. He was going to write down all the stories he saw in the stone book last night.
