At 10 o'clock in the morning, in the deep mountains and old forests on the outskirts of City A, a slim figure was walking through the woods. The girl was wearing a red sportswear and carrying a small backpack. She looked down from time to time, dug with a small shovel, and muttered something.
Not far behind, an old man in his 60s was also looking around with a shovel, digging some herbs, and then looked up at the little girl in front of him.
Soon, the old man couldn't dig anymore, and he smiled and shouted to the front: "Ranran, dig later, come and have a rest."
The little girl responded, ran over, took out the water bottle from the backpack and gave it to the old man to drink, while she drank water from another bottle herself.
The old man looked at his granddaughter lovingly, thinking that his family's medical skills had been passed down for hundreds of years. His son didn't like to study medicine and went into business. In this generation, only this granddaughter liked to study medicine. She went into the mountains with him to dig herbs and learn medical skills since she was a child... Thinking of this, the old man took out some herbs from his backpack and asked his granddaughter, "Ranran, grandpa asks you, what are these herbs?"
"Gorgon fruit...is sweet and astringent, and neutral in nature. It enters the spleen and kidney meridians. It nourishes the spleen and removes dampness, benefits the kidneys and consolidates essence, nourishes and strengthens the body, stimulates appetite, helps to nourish Qi and replenishes essence, and replenishes the middle and replenishes Qi. It is beneficial in autumn. ... Wolfberry: It is sweet and neutral in nature. It enters the liver and kidney meridians. It nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves essence and improves eyesight. It is beneficial for consumptive disease, essence deficiency, low back and knee pain, dizziness and tinnitus, internal heat and thirst, blood deficiency and sallow complexion, blurred vision..." Anran's clear voice rang out in the forest.
The old man smiled and said, "Of course, that's right. You'll be going to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in a while. You won't be able to accompany me to dig herbs anymore... Logically speaking, you don't need to go to school. It would be great if you could practice medicine with me. Why would you go to school?"
An Ran sighed and said, "Grandpa An, there's nothing we can do about it. We can't practice medicine illegally. Besides, she's only a sophomore and hasn't graduated yet. Do you have the heart to let your granddaughter start working a nine-to-five job?"
Old Master An laughed and scolded, "You little devil." He didn't talk about that topic anymore and continued to test An Ran's knowledge of herbs.
After resting, An Ranhe continued to dig herbs.
. . .
It will be noon soon.
Mr. An and An Ran went down the mountain and met the driver who came to pick them up halfway up the mountain.
The driver saw them and hurried over, saying, "A patient came to our house today. The old lady said she was seriously ill and asked me to ask the master and the young lady to go back."
The An family is a medical family. It has been hundreds of years since their ancestors started studying medicine. They are well-known in the country and have encountered quite a few difficult and complicated diseases. The old lady has been with him for decades. Although the old lady does not like to learn this, she has a lot of experience. This time, what makes the old lady feel difficult is probably really troublesome.
Old Master An nodded and said, "If that's the case, it looks like it's going to be very tricky. Let's go back and take a look."
After more than an hour, we drove to the An family's old house.
The An family's old house has been passed down for several generations. Both the architecture and the decoration of the house look ancient and quaint. Almost everyone has his or her own small courtyard, and the patients are placed in the front yard.
After returning home and washing up, An Ran and her husband went to the front yard to check on the room. They saw a gray-haired man in a wheelchair near the flowerbed. His head was tilted to one side, his eyes tightly closed, his face sallow, his lips bluish. He looked lifeless, like a withered flower. A woman in a blue coat and high heels accompanied him. She was probably the patient's daughter. Two security guards accompanied him. Upon seeing the old man enter, they quickly saluted and greeted him.
The lady said to Mr. An, "Mr. An, I'm Shen Mengying. Could you please take a look at what's wrong with my father? It's been almost a year. We've been to hospitals all over the country and abroad, but there's nothing we can do. Then an old doctor recommended us here. Thank you so much."
Old Man An nodded, took the patient's pulse and examined him, then asked An Ran to take a look. Then he said, "Ran Ran, you have been studying medicine with me for more than ten years. You take care of this patient."
After Anran gave the patient the medicine for half a month, the patient's condition was significantly relieved.
A few days later, it was time to go back to school. So Anran attended classes while receiving treatment. Time passed quickly, and in a flash, half a year had passed.
In half a year, Anran used dialectical medicine many times and discussed with her grandfather. Finally, the patient's illness was almost cured, and she told him some things to pay attention to and let him go home.
This day is the day for the An family to open the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and reunite with the family.
After opening the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, the sons, daughters, grandchildren and great-granddaughters gathered in the An family hall. Old Man An looked at An Ran with a complicated expression, and finally sighed and asked the old lady to take out the ancestral Nine-Turn Linglong Ring.
In front of everyone, he said, "Tomorrow is Ranran's 20th birthday. She has grown up. This year, I asked Anran to treat the old man of the Shen Group. This can be regarded as a test of Anran's medical skills. Now that Anran has completed her apprenticeship, I will give Anran my family heirloom ring, the Nine Revolutions Exquisite Ring, in front of everyone. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone else knew that the Nine-Turn Linglong Ring was given to the person with the best medical skills in the family, so the entire family had been following the old man to learn medicine, and they had no objections. They all shook their heads and said they had no objection.
Old Master An held the ring in front of An Ran, who was still in shock, and said, "Ran Ran, medical skills are the foundation of our An family's livelihood. You must pass it on well."
An Ran woke up from her shock and said, "Grandpa, I will work hard and will not let you down." An Ran took the ring and put it on her index finger. It fit perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her. She couldn't help but feel surprised.
