Xiao Niu went back to the old doctor's house and stayed there. He helped the doctor with his daily chores. From then on, the old doctor had a good helper.
At the old doctor's, the calf had a feeling that it was going home again. He stayed in the doctor's study all day, except to help him. There were the doctors' treasured medical books and the experiences and experiences of practicing medicine in the past few years. The calf worked every day on those books, and at night it read by night with the light on. The doctor saw him wallowing in the medical books all day long, shaking his head.
The old doctor and he had gotten along these past few days and knew his temper. The reason why Xiao Niu was reading so hard was because the last time the old doctor had seen him turn the wooden dragon into that shape, he had lost a lot of face by calling him a pig in a rage. Although he did not show it, his actions had betrayed him. The old doctor didn't know what to do with him, but he felt very apologetic in his heart.
One day, when the calf had just woken up, the doctor came running to him and said, "Little Li, your brother has woken up. "Hurry up and go take a look." Xiao Niu had named himself Xiao Li. He felt that he had to have a name when he was away, so the doctors called him Xiao Li. The two of them were the only ones left in the old doctor's house, and they had no children. Therefore, Xiao Li had become a good helper for them. In the past, it had always been the villagers who came to help. They had to do everything by themselves, even calling Xiao Niu their own. The calf washed its face and ran to the room where the dragon was recuperating.
When Xiao Niu entered the room, he saw Mu Long and the doctor chatting about something. Xiao Niu's face was filled with confusion. The calf's entrance interrupted their conversation, and they both looked at him. With a smile on his face, Xiao Niu said to Mu Long, "Brother, you've finally woken up. You've really made me anxious!"
The blank look on Mu Long's face deepened as he stared at Xiao Niu and said, "Brother, you look unfamiliar. Please forgive me for being stupid."
The calf was still smiling. "Of course. We've never met."
Mu Long replied, "Oh." He then asked, "Did you save me?"
Xiao Niu said, "If I were to say I have to save you, I would not dare to say so. It was this Godly Doctor who saved you. You have to thank him well. " The old doctor laughed and scolded, "Xiao Li, didn't I say that I'm not some divine doctor? What kind of genius doctor is there in the world, only a quack doctor. "
Xiao Niu said respectfully, "This young one has seen a lot of senior's medical skills in the past few days. He has a unique understanding of every word. I am truly impressed."
The old doctor could not help but feel proud when he heard him speak of his experiences. He said humbly, "A few insignificant skills will not make it to the top." Actually, the only thing he was proud of in his life was these medical knowledge.
As soon as the doctor was happy, he decided to test Xiao Niu's achievement these days. He said to Xiao Niu, "I believe you are quite satisfied after reading the medical books from these days. "Now, you come and see how your brother, who is so good as to make you kneel down and beg me?" He knew that this was a rare opportunity and the doctor was not hiding anything, so he put in a lot of effort. He felt that he should have achieved something in his medical skills, but he still replied modestly, "How could I dare?" Actually, he was already itching to give it a try.
The doctor saw through his thoughts and smiled. "There's no need to be modest in front of me." Xiao Niu laughed. "That kid is just making a fool of himself." He walked over and grabbed the wooden dragon's wrist to start pulsing.
The calf lowered its head and fell into deep thought. The old doctor didn't say anything and waited quietly.
Xiao Niu thought for a while and finally raised his head. The old doctor laughed, "You've thought it through?" Xiao Niu also laughed, "Yeah, I think Brother Mu's wounds are pretty much healed now." Seeing that his pulse is stable, although it is still a little weak, it does not look like he is suffering from severe exhaustion, so I think that as long as he is properly treated, there should be no problems. " The calf remained silent for a while before it continued, "But I still don't understand why Brother Mu looks so ruddy. Why is it that his pulse is so weak?"
The old doctor looked at him with a slight smile of shock and admiration.
Xiao Niu, seeing that the old doctor did not comment on his opinion, knew that his opinion was not yet at home. He hurriedly asked the old doctor for advice, "I wonder what's wrong with this kid's opinion?"
When the doctor heard him speak, he immediately smiled and said, "Boy, you are already very good. To be able to achieve such a feat in just a short half a month was already quite good. Actually, you're right. It's just that you have no experience, no medical experience. You know what's in the book. It's not in the book, you don't know. Even though you don't know it, you've found out that other quack doctors can't compare to you on this point. Your Brother Mu ate my thousand year old ginseng and it's enough. He doesn't need to recuperate, so his face was red. As for the fact that you found his pulse a little weak, that was another reason. For one reason you can't think of, because there won't be any records in a book, such a thing is hard to come by even once every thousand years. If you can completely combine my medical records with your own thoughts, you should be able to understand the cause of this symptom with a certain amount of experience. " At this point, the doctor got up and prepared to leave.
Xiao Niu hurriedly said, "Senior, you're not done yet. What's the cause of this symptom?"
The old doctor looked at him and sighed. "I think it's better if you don't know." "Because I don't have any way of treating it right now." Xiao Niu hurriedly said, "Even if there's no cure, it doesn't matter if you tell me." Tell us and we'll be prepared. "
The doctor thought for a moment. He stared at the calf and asked, "Do you really want to know?" Although the calf was baffled, it answered straightforwardly, "Yes." The old doctor sighed again and said, "Ai, the reason why his pulse is weak is because his meridians have been damaged." The calf felt as if it had just awoken from a dream. It couldn't help but say, "So that's how it is. I didn't think of it that way." I'm so stupid. "
The doctor said, "You are not stupid, you are influenced by the book, you think only of the ready-made examples in the book, and forget to combine all the knowledge. Because any situation can happen to a person, and it is not always the same, but a myriad of complicated events, and this point in various examples, that drop of water can happen to a person, or it can happen to a person together. " Xiao Niu nodded repeatedly and asked, "Then what happened to his Jing and Mai?" As soon as he asked, he found the answer. He was no longer the ignorant calf who knew nothing about the Way of Medicine.
As soon as the calf asked the question, a pained look appeared on its face. The old doctor knew by the look on his face that he already knew the answer. He already knew very well the nature and character of the calf. So he didn't intend to say it out loud, but he knew that he would find out sooner or later, and since he couldn't force him to do it, he decided to just say it out loud.
When his life was in danger, the ice crystals condensed from his own Zhen Qi had frozen his wound. Although the blood had stopped flowing, it had saved his life, but it had frozen his meridians, and his Zhen Qi was strange. Although his meridians were injured, it did not die out, but it was slower than the normal signs of life, and the blood flow appeared to be still, but in fact, it was not completely still. The old doctor had never seen this phenomenon before, so he was at a loss. Of course, Xiao Niu did not know about these matters yet, because the old doctor did not want to mention it. He wanted to wait until he thought of a way to save the old man.
Now, the calf knew that the only reason the wooden dragon could survive was because its body was different from that of an ordinary human being. His heart was on the right side, and the enemy had stabbed the sharp weapon into the left side of the wooden dragon's chest, thinking that he would definitely die without being able to make up for it, which was why he was lucky enough to escape. Luckily, his heart was on the right side. Otherwise, if Xiao Niu's true qi had frozen his heart, it would not only be his Jing and Mai being injured.
Xiao Niu's temper could only be owed by others. He couldn't owe others, so he had to take responsibility for his own matters to the end. This was the reason why the old doctor didn't want to say it. He wasn't confident that he could cure the wooden dragon either. He didn't want the calf to carry the burden with it for the rest of its life, but in the end, it all went against his wishes. When the calf found out what had happened, it was filled with regret and fear. Fortunately, it did not kill the dragon. At the very least, there was still room for salvage. He swore to cure the wood dragon.
Xiao Niu was no longer as confused about martial arts as he had been before. He had a basic understanding of the human body's meridians and training methods that he had heard about for the first time. He had made great progress in his training these days, but that was only in training Qi. In his opinion, this thing was only a very powerful force that could be used to injure people. It was like sending a big cow flying and freezing a wooden dragon, but only with this kind of experience. In addition, the Qi in his body was not very obedient. Sometimes, when he wanted to use it, he couldn't.
