Traveling through time and space: Medical skills travel the world

"Sister Fang, what are you looking at?" A crisp voice came from behind, interrupting Chen Fang's thoughts. She turned around and saw her sister Chen Qi leaning against the door frame with a curious look on her face.

"I'm reading some ancient medical books, which record many unique treatment methods." Chen Fang smiled slightly, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

"An ancient medical book?" Chen Qi's eyes lit up and he walked forward. "Is there anything interesting in it? I want to see it too!"

"These recorded secret recipes are not simple stuff." Chen Fang said softly, pointing to a paragraph of text on the page, "It mentions a recipe for using medicinal wine to treat colds. I heard it's very effective."

"A cold caused by wind and cold? Is it what we call a cold now?" Chen Qi tilted his head, looking as if he was thinking seriously.

"That's right, but the explanation in ancient medical books is more detailed. The 'wind' and 'cold' mentioned there are not just changes in the weather, but also an understanding of the circulation of qi and blood inside and outside the body." Chen Fang pointed to the words as he spoke, his eyes revealing his admiration for ancient medicine.

"Then let's try this medicinal wine!" Chen Qi suggested excitedly, "If it really works, we can let all the elderly people in the village benefit from it!"

"It's not something that can be made simply. The combination and proportion of medicinal materials are very particular." Chen Fang pondered for a moment and continued, "Moreover, the process of making medicinal wine requires some special operations. I have to read it carefully."

"Let's study it together! I can help you collect herbs!" Chen Qi said confidently, with a hint of mischief in his smile.

"Okay, but you have to be careful not to spoil those rare herbs." Chen Fang nodded in agreement, then warned her seriously.

"I will be careful! We will become the best doctors in the village!" Chen Qi patted her chest with a determined look. The enthusiasm of the two sisters intertwined under the candlelight, igniting their vision for the future.

As the night deepened, Chen Fang was still immersed in the ocean of medical books. She suddenly discovered that the book mentioned a magical medicine called "Millennium Pill", which had powerful curative effects, but the materials were extremely scarce.

"Millennium Pill? Can we find such material?" Chen Qi leaned over with a curious look.

"Most of these materials are only available in deep mountains or special areas. I heard that it takes a lot of hardships to find them all." Chen Fang sighed helplessly.

"In that case, we can consider organizing an exploration trip! To find those mysterious medicinal herbs!" Chen Qi's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"This... is quite difficult." Chen Fang hesitated slightly. She was well aware of the risks of exploration.

"Sister Fang, we can take other people in the village with us and set out together! This way we will have more strength and we can always find it!" Chen Qi looked enthusiastic and said a lot in one breath.

"Now that you mention it, I'm a little moved." Chen Fang lowered her head and thought. She knew that the exploration journey was not just to find herbs, but also to explore their deep desire for medical skills and the unknown world.

"It's decided! We will go to the village elders tomorrow to discuss this idea." Chen Qi had a look of anticipation on his face, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes shining.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow." Chen Fang finally nodded.

"I also want to ask, does the book mention anything about acupuncture?" Chen Qi suddenly remembered something, his face full of curiosity.

"Yes, acupuncture can dredge the meridians and harmonize qi and blood. Many diseases can be relieved by it." Chen Fang couldn't wait to point to a page in the book and said excitedly.

"Then can we find some beans and try to give each other acupuncture?" Chen Qi suggested with a blink.

"This is a good idea, but we have to be safe. We need to prepare needles and disinfect..." Chen Fang said as he thought seriously, already thinking about how to conduct this experiment.

"Will we... become the best doctors in the village?" Chen Qi asked with a little anticipation.

"Miss Chen, are you reading again?" Li Mo asked in a low voice, with concern in his eyes.

"Well, Mr. Li, I'm just thinking about learning some new medical skills." Chen Yu didn't look up, his fingers skillfully sliding across the pages of the book, as if he didn't want to interrupt his train of thought.

Li Mo put down the porridge, sat opposite her, and looked at her carefully. "You work so hard every day, aren't you afraid of exhausting yourself?"

"I just want to know more, Mr. Li. Medicine is not only a means of saving lives, but also a spiritual practice." She finally raised her head, her eyes were as sharp as torches, revealing a hint of determination and persistence.

Li Mo sighed softly, and his admiration for her rose spontaneously in his heart. "But how can you put what you have learned into practice? Has the knowledge in books never encountered a practical challenge?"

"Of course there will be challenges." Chen Yu's tone was firm, "But every challenge is an opportunity for growth. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I believe that if you don't go through hardships, you can't truly master this skill."

Li Mo was deeply attracted by her belief, and his eyes showed some appreciation. He remembered the old doctor he met in the city earlier, who once said the four words "doctors have a kind heart". "Miss Chen, I heard about the medical practice of an old doctor in the market recently. If you are interested, maybe you can go and ask him for advice."

"Old doctor?" Chen Yu was slightly surprised, with a look of surprise on his face. "Who are you talking about?"

"His name is Fang Ming. I heard that he is quite famous in the town, and many patients come to see him. But he is a low-key person and usually only diagnoses pulses near the market." Li Mo smiled, as if he had already thought of the next arrangements.

"Let's go tomorrow!" Chen Yu's eyes flashed with anticipation, encouraging his every thought.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth and the river sparkled with golden light. Chen Yu and Li Mo arrived in the town early. The bustling market was bustling with people and the steaming stalls were full of dazzling goods. The two looked around for the old doctor.

"Mr. Li, look over there, there is an old man sitting in front of a stall, and there seems to be a few villagers around him." Chen Yu pointed at a streak of white hair in the crowd and said anxiously.

"Let's go quickly."

As she approached, Chen Yu saw that while Fang Ming was taking the patient's pulse, he was also patiently answering their questions. His technique was skillful and he was calm and composed. She couldn't help but be deeply attracted by his demeanor.

"Everyone, go slow. Illness needs to be treated carefully." Fang Ming's voice was hoarse, but it revealed a reassuring power.

After everyone around him had left, Chen Yu mustered up his courage, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Excuse me, Senior Fang Ming, I am very interested in medical skills and hope to receive your guidance."

Fang Ming looked at her, hesitant at first, then smiled: "Little girl, it's a good thing that you are willing to learn medicine. But the road of a doctor is difficult. Are you ready to face the test?"

"I am willing! No matter how big the challenge is, I am not afraid." Chen Yu's eyes were firm, even with the enthusiasm of fireworks.

"Good, if you have a heart, you are a good doctor." The old man nodded approvingly and turned to let her sit down with him. "Come, take my pulse first, and I will give you feedback."

Li Mo watched quietly from the side, vaguely feeling Chen Yu's growth and transformation. As Chen Yu's fingers gently fell, Fang Ming quietly analyzed her pulse, frowning slightly.

"Although your pulse is a little unstable, your grip is very accurate. You need more practice to go further." He nodded slightly, giving Chen Yu confidence.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." She looked happy and became more determined to study medicine.

"Remember, medicine requires effort. It is not only about technique, but also about respect for life." Fang Ming narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.

Li Mo watched this scene quietly, silently feeling gratified for Chen Yu's persistence. He knew that this encounter at this moment would change her destiny and would also be a journey of exploration that she had never experienced before.

From that day on, Chen Yu often came to the market and listened carefully to Fang Ming's teachings. Every time she learned, she became more fulfilled. With Li Mo's company, she gradually embarked on the path of a doctor, and her dream began to take shape little by little.
