Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

The first stop on the north journey: Hongnong County.

The Hongnong Yang family was a prominent family, comparable to the Yuan clan. Its current head, Yang Biao, was a renowned official of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yang Biao, renowned for his erudition, had recently been appointed a councilor. During his tenure, he collaborated with Ma Riti, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, and Han Shuo on the continuation of the Dongguan Hanji (Records of the Eastern Han Dynasty). Four years later, Yang Biao exposed the eunuch Wang Fu for extorting over 70 million yuan from the prefecture and the state, earning him widespread renown.

With the Yang family's head away and Dezu still young, Suo Chao didn't pay a visit. Following his example, he spent two days treating patients in Hongnong County before continuing north to Hedong County.

July 175 AD, summer.

Jiezhou in Hedong, Xiafeng Village in Changping.

Suo Chao and the other man rode past, raising a cloud of dust. At the corner of the village, a group of children poked their heads out and stared at them curiously.

"Ergou! A big shot has come to our village! Come and see!"

"Skinny monkey, wait for me!"

"Feng Ergou, your mother is here to find you with a thorn stick!"

"Ah? I'm leaving now. Don't tell my mom I was here!"

After a while, Ergou's mother came running over angrily.

"Have you seen my Ergou?"

"Oh! Ergou said he has never been here."

.......

It was early summer, and the weather was scorching. Suo Chao dismounted and rested in the shade of a tree, the cacophony of cicadas echoing across the countryside.

Suo Chao ordered Huang Gai to go to the village and ask the villagers for some water to drink, and also to buy some straw for fodder. The well water in those days was sweet, unpolluted, and every drop of it soothed the heart.

The two men settled all their matters. Suo Chao mounted his horse and set off, continuing north. Suddenly, news spread from the village that Er Gou had fallen while climbing a tree. He was seriously injured and unconscious, and the village doctor, Feng, was helpless.

Suo Chao pulled the reins and leaped.

"My fellow countryman! Please take me there! I'm a doctor!"

"Really? Doctor Feng can't do it, can you really do it?"

A nine-year-old boy, with phoenix eyes, a face as red as a date, lips as white as rouge, and a chubby figure, stared at Suo Chao.

"Brother, please lead the way!"

"Okay! Please follow me!!"

"Brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Feng Xian, and my courtesy name is Changsheng."

"Huh? Feng Xian? Where have I heard this name before?"

Suo Chao reminisced as he walked.

"Who's the most famous person in Hedong? Wow, it must be Guan Erye!"

"There seems to be a mainstream saying that Guan Erye's original name was Feng Xian."

Suo Chao activated the Eye of Truth and checked Feng Xian's attributes. His Strength was a whopping 60, and his Intelligence was 40. These two values ​​were significantly higher than those of an average person, quite outrageous.

"He was born with supernatural powers! He must be Guan Erye."

"Little brother, Ergou's house is just ahead!"

Suo Chao quickened his pace. Before he even reached the room, he heard heart-wrenching cries from inside.

"Come on! Stop crying! What's the use of crying?"

"Doctor Feng, is there really no other way?"

"My skills are limited! There's really nothing I can do!"

Suo Chao walked into Ergou's house. A group of people were standing in the yard, tightly packed. They all looked up at the stranger who walked in.

"Whose child is this? I don't know him."

"He's dressed so luxuriously, he's definitely not from our village!"

"Dear uncles and aunts, please make way! I can treat this injury."

"What? Are you kidding? Can a kid like him cure this disease?"

Ergou's mother quickly stood up and tightly grasped Suo Chao's hand, like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw. She cried hoarsely.

"Little brother, can you really cure my baby?"

"I can! But if I delay any longer, I may not be able to do that!"

Everyone quickly made way. Suo Chao approached Ergou and took out the Flying Crane Needle. Now that his Qi training had reached a high level, Suo Chao was confident in performing the final ten soul-restoring needles. He took a deep breath, channeled his Qi into the needle tips, and began his duel with the god of death.

"Blood-dispersing needle!"

"Spirit-nourishing needle"

Suo Chao inserted needles into ten acupuncture points: Baihui, Fengfu, Fengchi, Yamen, Shangshen, Tinghui, Tianchong, Ermen, Tianzhu, and Touwei. These last ten needles were coordinated with his own Qi. His movements were fluid, the needle tips vibrating, and the phantom of a flying crane appeared in the air. Suo Chao quickly dissipated the blood clot in Ergou's brain.

Suo Chao took another deep breath and continued to operate the first 26 needles, blood and qi replenishing needle, detoxification needle, cold-dispelling needle, blood circulation needle, tissue activation needle, ...

After setting the broken bone, Suo Chao once again administered the tissue activation needle. This was the first time in his medical career that Suo Chao felt physically and mentally exhausted. He'd been giving acupuncture for half an hour straight, like a donkey pulling a millstone. Suo Chao was drenched in sweat, and he wiped the beads of sweat from his cheeks.

"The condition is under control. But Ergou still needs to rest. He will be fully recovered in 7 days!"

"I'll prescribe some prescriptions to invigorate blood circulation, strengthen bones, and nourish the body. Just drink them for half a month!"

"Really? Little doctor, how long will it take for my son to wake up?"

"About an hour!"

A group of people were waiting anxiously inside and outside the courtyard. Suo Chao felt that this place was too depressing, so he made up an excuse and left.

Feng Xian took him around and told him that his ancestors were also from a family of scholars, but their fortunes had fallen on hard times.

Suo Chao met Feng Xian's parents, a simple family. Seeing how hard the Feng family was financially, he offered to leave 10 gold coins as a gift. Feng's parents refused to accept any.

Suo Chao had no choice but to leave some more food, and this time they didn't refuse. Suo Chao originally wanted to teach Feng Xian the Qi Refining Technique, but he was afraid that his plan would disrupt his life trajectory. Before leaving, Suo Chao handed Feng Xian a piece of gold and told him to keep it secret.

"Brother Feng! In the future, be humble and modest in your conduct. Even if you become very powerful, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. Remember, there are always people who are better than you."

"Got it! Brother Suo Chao, you're too long-winded!!"

"Really? If you get a chance, practice your martial arts more. I think you have a lot of talent."

"Really? I'm very strong."

......

Suo Chao went to Ergou's house again. He had regained consciousness and looked well. Suo Chao explained his purpose, and Ergou's parents tried hard to keep him. They even slaughtered chickens and bought meat to entertain him. It was a truly gracious gesture. Suo Chao was embarrassed to refuse, but Huang Gai was delighted.

Suo Chao had dinner here and saw Feng Xian waiting for him outside the house.

"Brother Suo Chao, are you leaving?"

"Yes! Do you remember my instructions?"

"Ah! I remember. Didn't it just tell me to be humble and practice martial arts in the future?"

"Okay! I won't say any more. Brother Feng Xian, take care!"

"Here are some prescriptions for removing poisons, treating injuries, and treating colds. Remember to keep them safe!"

"I understand. Goodbye, Brother Suo Chao!"

Suo Chao waved, mounted his horse, and galloped away. The moon was dim and the stars were sparse, and the trees beside the village were lush and green. Suo Chao entered Jiezhou Town and rested there for the night. The next day, the two of them practiced medicine in the town for two days. Nothing happened, and the two of them galloped northeast on their two horses.
