Chapter 157 You Are Sick, Don’t Be Polite
Blindfold yourself and walk into the cave.
All colors and light and shadow disappeared without a trace.
Darkness, heartbeats, and footsteps intertwined, making all senses except the eyes become extra sensitive.
A group of people were blindfolded and walked holding each other's clothes.
The soil and stones underfoot were very cold, and the damp and cold air came through the soles of the shoes, making people slow down their pace involuntarily.
Su Zhizhi insisted on walking in front, holding onto the hem of Yu Changsheng's clothes with one hand.
She was very happy and felt like she was playing blind man's game.
Her nose twitched slightly, and she felt that the smell in the cave was different from that outside.
Wet, with a slight muddy smell.
I didn't walk in the cave for long, only a few dozen steps, when I suddenly felt a bright light in front of my eyes.
Although my eyes were still blindfolded, I could clearly feel that I had walked out of the cave.
Su Zhizhi: "Grandpa Baimei, can we watch it now?"
Yu Changsheng's voice fell from above his head:
"Wait a moment."
The road under my feet was much smoother, and occasionally I could hear the crisp sound of dead branches and leaves being stepped on.
The wind blowing on my face was much weaker than before, and not as cold.
When Yu Changsheng finally asked them to tear off the cloth from their eyes, everyone saw a flat land in the valley.
The mountains nearby are very high, but the sunken valley is so flat and spacious that it is big enough to build a large village.
A majestic stone tablet stood at the entrance, with three large characters "Divine Doctor Valley" inscribed on it.
"Everyone, please come in." Yu Changsheng made a "please" gesture to Hao Ren and others.
They walked in and looked around curiously.
The scene that Su Zhizhi and Xue Che had imagined in their minds before was that there were many people in white clothes like Doctor Yu, silently studying herbs in the yard.
But now, I see that the people in the Divine Doctor Valley dress no differently from people outside, all in bright and colorful clothes.
And they were not as quiet as Dr. Yu at all. Not far away, there were actually a few people sitting at the doorway, basking in the sun and chatting.
Seeing a group of guests coming, they all greeted them warmly:
"Master Changsheng is back from extorting people again? Why did he bring them back to the valley this time?"
"Who? Is it Xiaobai's friend?"
"Oh, those are the villagers Xiaobai mentioned a few days ago, who wanted to go back to Lingnan together."
"Come on, come on, come in and sit down."
“…”
They were invited into the sect's meeting hall.
The meeting hall was simply decorated, with the scent of herbs everywhere, and dried herbs hanging at the door.
A woman in her forties enthusiastically poured tea and brought out some snacks such as rice cakes and dried meat.
"Come, wipe your hands and have some snacks." The woman took two wet towels to wipe Su Zhizhi and Xue Che's hands, and then handed them the box of snacks.
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Zhizhi and Xue Che took the snacks.
Su Zhizhi took a bite of the candy and found that the rice cakes here tasted different.
It was sweet, but not the sweetness she was used to.
It's a bit cool and refreshing.
"Aunt Qiu, please try it. This rice cake is delicious." Su Zhizhi broke off a small piece and held out her hand to give it to Qiu Jinyu.
Qiu Jinyu sat on the long bench next to her, leaned over, and took a bite of Su Zhizhi's hand.
After taking just one bite, his eyebrows raised.
The taste is indeed different.
The woman who brought the snacks was called Yu Chunman. The clothes she wore were also colorful, as if spring had come to the world.
Yu Chunman smiled and said, "Licorice is added to this, so it has the sweet taste of licorice."
Qiu Jinyu nodded. "Thank you for your advice, ma'am. I also cook snacks on weekdays, but I've never thought of using anything other than cane sugar and malt sugar to sweeten them."
On the other side, Hao Ren and others were also chatting.
Ni Tianji clasped his hands together and said, "Excuse me, I am Ni Tianji. I have long heard of the name of the Divine Doctor Valley. I am honored to visit you today. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet the Valley Master?"
An old man with great vigor said:
"Our Divine Doctor Valley is different from other martial arts sects. We don't have a Valley Master, only elders. All matters are decided by the elders together."
This old man is Yu Weiwen, the oldest elder in the village. However, he has thick hair, bright eyes, and a straight body. He looks younger than Yu Changsheng, who is in his fifties.
Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan looked at each other and asked tentatively:
"I wonder how old the elder is?"
Yu Weiwen stroked his beard and said, "I have wasted more than one hundred and ten years in the human world."
The tea in Wei Dashuan and Qin Xiao's hands shook.
How many?
Over one hundred and ten?!
Hao Ren and Song Yu were also surprised. Even the wealthy and long-lived people in the capital who lived a life of luxury did not live past a hundred years old.
Yu Changsheng said to Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan, "The medicine I gave you last time was developed under the guidance of this elder."
Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan unconsciously touched the place where the small medicines were placed in their arms.
Fortunately, it is still there.
Eat, eat when you come back.
Su Zhizhi listened at the side and turned her head to whisper to Xue Che in an exaggerated tone:
"Ah Che, Grandpa has lived eleven lives like me!"
Xue Che corrected: "It should be fourteen."
Yu Rubai's master Yu Renxin came in at this time.
As soon as Yu Renxin came in, he bowed and said:
"Thank you all for taking care of our Xiaobai outside."
Hao Ren: "Senior, there's no need to be so polite. Our village has benefited greatly from Doctor Yu's medical care over the years."
Yu Renxin waved his hand. "We know Xiaobai's personality. Although he didn't mention his friends outside, the fact that he stayed in one village for several years shows that he really likes it. If he likes it, it means that you treat him well, tolerate his personality, and let him do what he wants."
After some pleasantries, Hao Ren and his group were invited to stay overnight.
"Xiaobai went to the Medical Book Pavilion the day before yesterday to study medical books. He stays there for three days, and no one can persuade him to come out. Tomorrow, he will come out on his own."
"How about this, the weather is nice today, I'll take you for a walk in the village." Yu Renxin stood up and suggested.
Su Zhizhi had had enough tea and snacks by this time, and when she heard that they were going out for a walk, she jumped off the stool.
"Uncle, I'll go with you."
If Su Zhizhi wants to go for a walk, then Hao Ren and others will naturally follow her.
The layout of the Divine Doctor Valley is somewhat similar to that of the Good Citizen Village, with a large open space in the middle and houses built in a circle around it.
The houses were built one after another, and they were all very large. There was a large wooden board at the door of each house.
Xue Che saw a wooden board passing by with the words written on it:
Ear, nose and throat.
Xue Che didn't understand, so he asked.
Yu Renxin replied, "In our Divine Doctor Valley, everyone is devoted to studying medicine and has their own specialties. This house, and the several rooms connected to it, are the residences and clinics of my peer Yu Mingxin and his disciples. This branch of their family specializes in treating ailments related to the ear, nose, and throat."
Su Zhizhi looked forward and saw a wooden sign with the word "heart" written on it:
"Then in that house further ahead, are the doctors there all good at treating heart diseases?"
Yu Renxin nodded.
When they passed by these houses, they saw some doctors sorting medicinal materials, reading medical books, or simply basking in the sun at the door.
When the doctors saw Yu Renxin walking by with a strange face and heard that this was Xiaobai's friend, they all greeted him warmly:
"Don't be shy, everyone. If you have any problem, just tell me."
"Yes, yes, you're welcome if you're sick."
Qin Xiao said that he had some problems with his legs and was pulled into the "bone" room.
Wei Dashuan said that his eyesight was not good at night, so Yu Renxin pushed him into the "Eye" room.
Qiu Jinyu didn't need anyone to introduce her. After seeing a wooden board with the word "skin" written on it, she took the initiative to go in.
Ni Tianji also went in.
Song Yu said: "I'm still young, no problem."
Yu Renxin suddenly touched Song Yu's lower back. Song Yu covered his waist and cried out, "It hurts, it hurts!"
He made ink every day in the ink workshop and was often so tired that his lower back ached and sometimes he couldn't even straighten his back.
He always thought it was a minor problem and didn't go to see Doctor Yu.
Yu Renxin: "This little brother should also go to the bone room."
After Song Yu went to the "Bone" room, Yu Renxin set his eyes on the little faces of Su Zhizhi and Xue Che.
Su Zhizhi said sincerely: "Uncle, I don't know what's wrong with me."
Xue Che: "Doctor Yu said my illness has been cured."
Yu Renxin took them to a house painted red with various cute little wooden carvings on the windowsill.
The sign outside the house said "Child".
Yu Renxin: "Then you two can check here and take a rest."
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che went in.
Finally, only Hao Ren was left.
Hao Ren half-smiled and asked, "I don't know what illness I have. I wonder where Master Yu wants to guide me?"
Yu Renxin looked at Hao Ren intently for a long moment:
"It's with me."
Hao Ren: "I haven't asked what kind of diseases Master Yu specializes in yet."
As the two were talking, they had almost walked around the village and finally stopped at the door of a house.
Hao Ren saw the words "detoxification" written on the wooden board at the door.
Yu Renxin: "My branch is best at detoxification."
Hao Ren shook his head: "I have not been poisoned."
Yu Renxin asked Hao Ren to sit down and insisted on taking his pulse.
The sunlight inside the house is not as abundant as outside, and it feels a bit chilly.
Yu Renxin placed her fingers on Hao Ren's wrist and sighed softly.
His voice was cold.
It was as cold as a snake crawling up the back of Hao Ren's neck and strangling his throat.
"You once took the poison that made you childless. Now that it's been so long, there's no turning back."
