In the end, Old Zhao was carried away by his two sons amidst his wife's scolding.
Dr. Chen gave him acupuncture and prescribed some medicine. When Old Zhao returned home, his complexion had improved considerably.
With Old Zhao's family gone, the villagers had nothing left to watch and, not daring to disturb Dr. Chen any longer, prepared to disperse.
"Ah Qing, are you coming or not?" Wang Da'an asked Lu Qing.
"Hey, Lu Qing, what are you doing here? Xiao Yan is here too?"
Only then did the other villagers notice Lu Qing and Xiao Yan standing in the corner.
"I've been here the whole time, but everyone was just worried about Uncle Zhao's health and didn't see me," Lu Qing said with a smile. "Brother Da'an, you guys go back first. I still have some things to ask Grandpa Chen."
"Ask for guidance?" Wang Da'an then noticed the book in Lu Qing's hand and suddenly realized, "You're here learning from Doctor Chen?"
"Yes, I'm learning some knowledge about herbs from Grandpa Chen." Lu Qing did not deny it.
The villagers were all surprised when they heard this.
Why is Lu Qing so highly regarded by the old doctor?
After the initial surprise came envy.
The old doctor's medical skills were widely recognized; he could even save people on the verge of death.
Lu Qing was so ill before that many people went to see her, but in the end, she was cured by the old doctor with one dose of medicine.
Earlier, when Old Zhao fell into the water, I heard that his face was ashen and he wasn't breathing.
Then, the old doctor massaged the person a few times and brought them back to life.
This medical skill is so advanced that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it can bring the dead back to life.
Now that Lu Qing has the opportunity to learn medicine from the senior doctor, how could everyone not be envious?
However, as much as they envied, the villagers knew that such things couldn't be obtained through mere envy.
Learning medicine is obviously very difficult; unless you're exceptionally intelligent, you probably won't even get started.
Didn't you see Lu Qing holding a book? In their village, the total number of characters that everyone knows probably wouldn't even fill a basket.
Only Lu Qing, who had been taught by his grandfather since childhood, was able to recognize some characters.
Perhaps this is why Dr. Chen values Lu Qing.
Thinking about all this, many villagers' jealousy lessened somewhat.
Because they know that even if such a good thing were to fall into their laps, they wouldn't be able to handle it.
An elderly villager stepped forward and patted Lu Qing on the shoulder.
"Well done, Lu Qing! You must learn medicine from the old doctor and try to master all his skills!"
The sudden encouragement left Lu Qing somewhat bewildered.
He really wanted to say that he was just learning a little about herbal medicine from Dr. Chen.
Looking into the old man's earnest eyes, he could only nod and say, "I will try my best."
Even after all the villagers had left, Lu Qing was still somewhat bewildered.
He thought that everyone would be envious and jealous of him for learning medicine from the senior doctor.
But he just saw it.
The villagers felt some envy and some jealousy, but not as intensely as he had imagined.
Instead of feeling envious and jealous, everyone seemed to really hope that he could learn the old doctor's medical skills.
Lu Qing doesn't like to assume malicious intent about others.
But he also knew that people's hearts are unpredictable, and sometimes, people's jealousy comes without any reason.
"Are you puzzled?" Doctor Chen came to Lu Qing's side.
"What?" Lu Qing was confused.
"I don't understand why the villagers are so eager for you to learn my medical skills?" Doctor Chen said with a smile.
Lu Qing nodded; he did indeed not quite understand.
Does the old doctor know the reason?
"Lu Qing, do you know how many doctors there were in the surrounding villages when I settled down in this village?"
The old doctor did not directly answer Lu Qing's question, but instead asked a question in return.
Lu Qing shook his head.
When the old doctor came to the village, the original owner was still young and didn't have many memories of this.
“Not a single one.” The old doctor gave an answer that surprised Lu Qing. “Before I came to the village, there wasn’t a single doctor in the surrounding villages.”
“When villagers get sick, for minor illnesses, they basically just pick some herbs they recognize and boil them to drink, or they go to a midwife or shaman to get some medicine. For the rest, they just rely on boiling it down. Only when they really can’t bear it anymore will they go to the city to seek medical treatment.”
"But most serious illnesses in the world develop from minor illnesses. By the time people can no longer endure the pain and seek medical treatment in the city, it is often already a serious illness."
"Serious illnesses are difficult to cure. Even doctors in the city cannot be sure they can cure every disease."
"Besides, living in the city is not easy, let alone seeking medical treatment."
"Even if doctors in the city are confident in treating the patient, the high cost of medical treatment is beyond the reach of ordinary villagers."
"Therefore, for ordinary villagers, a serious illness often means that they will not live much longer."
“Before I came to the village, in the surrounding villages, quite a few people died from illness every year.”
Lu Qing recalled that, in his memory, there were indeed funerals in the village every year before the old doctor came.
"When I traveled here, I saw that many people in the nearby villages were suffering from diseases and had nowhere to seek medical treatment. I couldn't bear it, so I stopped and wanted to give these villagers a chance to live."
"I never imagined that this stay would last for ten years."
"Over the past ten years, I can't say I've saved countless lives, but at least I've ensured that the villagers here have a place to seek medical treatment when they get sick, so that minor illnesses don't accumulate into major ones."
Lu Qing was deeply shocked by what he heard.
According to the old doctor, over the past ten years, he has truly been a protector of peace in the area, a living bodhisattva of this region.
"So that's why everyone hopes I can learn medicine from you and treat patients in the future?" Lu Qing asked.
"That's right, everyone's probably tired of living without access to medical care." The old doctor nodded.
"But what about Grandpa Chen?"
“But I am very old,” the old doctor said.
"Although I rarely go out in the village, I can still hear people talking about what would happen if I suddenly died one day, and where they would go for medical treatment if they got sick."
Lu Qing: "..."
He thought of the old doctor's identity as a cultivator.
Those villagers who were criticizing her would never have imagined that an old man could have such keen hearing.
Now Lu Qing finally understood why everyone, despite their envy and jealousy, still urged him to study hard when they saw him learning medicine from the old doctor.
It turns out that everyone was tired of the days before there were doctors.
They were afraid that if the old doctor were gone one day, they would go back to how things were before.
"Grandpa Chen, are you angry?" Lu Qing asked.
"What's there for me to be angry about?" Dr. Chen chuckled. "It's just human nature. Besides, I am indeed very old, almost half of me is going to be buried."
But I see that you are in very good health.
Lu Qing thought to himself.
He recalled the red glow emanating from the old doctor that he had once seen.
"Lu Qing, you're a smart child. Now you should understand what everyone meant just now, right?"
"I understand a little bit." Lu Qing nodded.
"So, would you like to study medicine with me?"
The old doctor suddenly asked.
In the end, Old Zhao was carried away by his two sons amidst his wife's scolding.
Dr. Chen gave him acupuncture and prescribed some medicine. When Old Zhao returned home, his complexion had improved considerably.
