"We finally succeeded! We finally succeeded!" Dean Wang's voice trembled slightly. "The legend left behind by our ancestor was indeed true!"

Dean Wang put Xiao Wangge back on the bed, his aged fingers trembling as he pulled a crumpled book from his pocket.

The book was worn out from being read so many times; it was more of a photocopy than a book.

It's an image of an old book, but it's been flipped through so many times that the photocopy is quite wrinkled.

There are some obscure and difficult classical Chinese texts on the creased pages of the book, with one awkward character after another appearing on the pages.

Each page is covered with dense annotations.

Dean Wang pointed to each word as he read aloud.

He has read it tens of thousands of times.

I could memorize it with my eyes closed, but I still flipped through the photocopied book again and again, carefully checking the words on it.

The text on the photocopied ancient books is in complex classical Chinese, which differs somewhat from modern simplified Chinese.

At a glance, there are very few characters that can be recognized.

I can only vaguely make out a few similar words.

Headache, Hua Tuo, murdered...

This is a story from thousands of years ago.

Rumor has it that Cao Cao suffered from severe headaches.

Cao Cao heard that Hua Tuo was a skilled physician, so he invited him to treat him.

Cao Cao held a high position and wielded great power. Hua Tuo knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so he lied and said that his wife was ill and it was inconvenient for him to come.

Cao Cao was already very powerful at that time, holding the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords.

No matter how much Hua Tuo refused, he had no choice but to go and treat the patient.

The only way to cure Cao Cao's headaches was through craniotomy.

This was a shocking thing at the time. Cao Cao was furious, thinking that Hua Tuo was deliberately deceiving him and trying to kill him.

So they killed Hua Tuo.

This story has become widely known.

No one knows what the real story is like.

They have all been buried in the sands of history.

Is headache really just a simple headache?

Dean Wang, a descendant of Hua Tuo, knows more than history itself.
