A life of two souls traveling through time

"Morning, Mr. Huifeng!"

Si Yao followed Hui Feng all the way to the east gate of Mucheng, where she saw an old man with a kind face coming forward and smiling respectfully.

"Good morning, Steward Wu. Thank you for coming all the way out of town to greet me." Hui Feng also humbly returned the greeting, and then asked with concern, "How has Master Situ been doing these days?"

"Your complexion has improved in the past few days, and you were able to walk this morning." The old man said to Huifeng with a kind smile.

"It looks like he's recovered."

"Well, yes, fortunately there is Sanxiu Pharmacy in this border city, otherwise my young master..." Having said this, the butler stopped talking with concern and did not continue.

Huifeng didn't say anything else. The two of them followed the old man in silence, crossed a street, and turned into a deep alley.

In the east wing of the inner courtyard of the county government office, a pale, skinny boy of about fifteen or sixteen was lying quietly on the bed. Huifeng was feeling the boy's pulse beside the bed. Si Yao was standing silently behind him with a medicine box. Madam Situ and Butler Wu were waiting quietly outside the curtain.

"Mr. Situ's body has been cleared of most of the poison, but his internal organs are still weak and cannot be exposed to the cold outside. He should rest in bed and eat light, thin meals. Remember not to take too much tonic." After taking the pulse, Huifeng opened the curtain and walked out. After speaking softly, he asked Si Yao to deliver the three prescriptions prepared in the pharmacy to Butler Wu and continued to instruct him, "These three prescriptions are for aftermath. After taking them, Mr. Situ will recover. He will recover slowly with food in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Huifeng." Mrs. Situ was so excited that she thanked Huifeng profusely.

"Madam should also take care of your health." Huifeng said softly, looking at Madam Situ who looked haggard.

"As long as Qing'er can get better, I will naturally feel relieved." Mrs. Situ said in a hoarse voice with red eyes looking at the young man on the hospital bed from afar.

"Why do you want to study medicine?" Huifeng suddenly asked after leaving the government office.

"At the beginning it was all for survival..." This question instantly made Si Yao feel heavy.

"now what?"

"Now...I don't know either..." She just felt confused.

"Because you read the medical book I gave you?"

"I can't understand."

"I didn't expect you to be so honest."

"If you don't understand, you don't understand. There's no need to pretend to understand."

As soon as the two of them walked out of the alley, they saw that the teahouse in front of them was full of people, and everyone was talking about it:

"He had just had a big argument with someone, and suddenly he fell to the ground."

"Someone please find a doctor."

"Get out of the way, everyone!" After hearing the discussions of passers-by, Huifeng and Si Yao realized that someone had fainted in the teahouse. They hurried into the teahouse and saw from afar an old man with a red face fainted on the ground, his body still twitching slightly.

"Oh, there's help, there's help." When the teahouse owner saw the person coming, all his anxiety disappeared.

"He should be a doctor."

"What do you mean by should? Don't you know that this is Mr. Huifeng from Sanxiu Pharmacy?" The teahouse owner looked at Huifeng with admiration.

"Great! The miracle doctor is here and we can be saved now."

Although the crowd took a few steps back after hearing Huifeng's words, they did not disperse and continued to watch curiously.

"Take out the needle!" Huifeng pinched the Ren Zhong acupoint of the fallen old man with his fingers and said to Si Yao who followed him.

Si Yao took out a needle bag from the medicine box, pulled out a silver needle, aimed it at the old man's Ren Zhong acupoint and pierced it. Then he turned around and hugged the old man's hands, quickly pierced his ten fingers, and blood instantly oozed out from the punctured places.

"Hey, I'm breathing again!"

"Oh, he's awake. He's really a miracle doctor!"

"Yes, yes, good doctor!"

The old man who fell to the ground gasped at first and then slowly opened his eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"I didn't expect Mr. Huifeng to have such advanced medical skills at such a young age."

"That's right, a genius doctor from Sanxiu Pharmacy, how could he not be very good?"

"Dad! Dad!" Just when everyone was praising Sanxiu Pharmacy, a middle-aged man squeezed into the crowd. When he saw the old man who was rescued, he rushed forward, crying and laughing, gasping for breath and unable to speak for a long time.

"Son, I'm fine now, this is all thanks to Mr. Huifeng from Sanxiu Pharmacy." The old man held his son's hand with tears in his eyes, trembling.

"Thank you, Mr. Huifeng! Thank you, Mr. Huifeng!" The middle-aged man also bowed to Huifeng repeatedly with red eyes and gratitude.

"No need to thank me. How can a doctor watch a person die without helping? But old man, you must take care of your health at your age and don't let yourself get angry and lose your temper easily." Huifeng stopped the middle-aged man who kept bowing and turned to speak to the old man.

"Dad, did you hear me? Don't argue with others in the future. You can't just turn a deaf ear to what Mr. Huifeng said, right?" The middle-aged man also took the opportunity to advise his father. It can be seen that this is not the first time that his son has given his father earnest advice.

"I've taken note of what Mr. Huifeng said." The old man's face turned slightly red after being advised by his own son in public. He glanced at his son disdainfully, then raised his hand, bowed to Huifeng, and hurriedly left with his son.

When everyone saw the old man leave in shame, they laughed for a few words and then dispersed. Huifeng and Si Yao continued to go towards the east gate.

I didn't expect that a small silver needle could bring a person who had fainted on the ground back to life.

Even if you can't be Mr. Sanxiu's apprentice, can't you still learn medical skills by following Mr. Sanxiu's apprentice? So why bother to become his apprentice?

This rescue in the busy city of Mucheng made Si Yao once again admire Hui Feng's medical skills, and she regained her confidence in studying medicine.

"Have you heard? Mr. Huang's house caught fire last night, and all the family members were killed!"

"Is this true? Why did a fire break out out of nowhere?"

"Really! The county magistrate went there early in the morning..."

Si Yao followed Hui Fengzheng and walked towards the East City Gate thoughtfully. Suddenly, she heard the conversation between the two women and was shocked. She hurried forward to ask:

"Madam, is the fire at the Huang Mansion on West Street?"

"Yes, this is the only Huang Mansion in this small wooden city..."

"No one survived?" Si Yao frowned and asked again.

"It's strange, how could no one escape from the fire in this huge Huang Mansion?"

"I heard that a few days ago, a hunter newly hired by Mr. Huang was eaten by a wild beast in the mountains while hunting. Could it be that the hunter's ghost came to collect the debt?" another woman whispered in a low voice.

"Oh, stop talking, it's scary..."

Si Yao walked away silently, feeling sad about what happened to the Huang family and guilty for leaving without saying goodbye.

Although Huifeng noticed Si Yao's strange behavior, he didn't seem to have any intention of asking.
