sunset(1/2)

Wei Lian took Xu Wenqing to a pile of ruins. There was no one around here, remote and desolate. Wei Lianfang said, "I'll say that."

Xu Wenqing paused, lowered his head and wandered for a long time, and whispered: "Young Master, I think...those people are not worth saving."

Ignorance, ungrateful, greedy, and selfish.

What's the use of saving? Why don't you die directly?

His dream was to save all the people of the world and treat all patients, but what he saw and heard in just a few days was really outrageous.

Others are hell, nothing more than this.

Wei Lian said: "You are shaken."

Xu Wenqing was confused: "Am I wrong?"

Wei Lian shook his head gently, turned around and said, "Look."

Xu Wenqing looked at him in a blink of an eye and could only see a burnt house.

"Guess where this place used to be?"

Xu Wenqing was even more confused. How could he tell that the house was burned like this?

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he saw a bleak couplet on a pillar in the broken wall: I hope that people in the world will not be sick.

"I hope people in the world are not sick, even if the medicine is on the rack," Xu Wenqing subconsciously followed the next sentence and blurted out, "This used to be a medical clinic!"

There is always a couplet on both sides of the folk clinic, which symbolizes the good wishes of the world.

Wei Lian nodded: "Yes. There used to be an old doctor living here."

He told Xu Wenqing the story of the old doctor.

The old doctor suddenly came to this place one day. He was already very old at that time. No one knew where he came from. He only carried a basket and opened a clinic in Qingping County, and since then he settled down.

Before that, Qingping County had no clinic or doctor. When people got sick, they had to go to Qingning County next door to see a doctor, and the medical expenses were not cheap. Many people could only survive at home, and they were dying.

After the old doctor came, not only did the medicinal materials be half cheaper than outside, but also had excellent medical skills and almost all of them could cure the disease. When they encountered someone who really had no money at all, they would also allow them to take credit. In fact, they knew in their hearts that they would never have to pay back the account.

He is called a living Bodhisattva by the people here.

Xu Wenqing couldn't help asking: "What happened later?"

"Later, he failed to cure the plague and became sick himself. People instantly abandoned him like a piece of shabby shoes and became a plague god from a bodhisattva." Wei Lian said calmly and cruelly, "The old doctor died of the plague. People smashed his clinic, burned his house, slandered his reputation, and could not be at peace until his death."

The people here fully reflect this inferiority.

Xu Wenqing clenched his fists and trembled slightly: "It's too much to deceive others!"

"It's not over yet." Wei Lian continued, "In the past, the old doctor came here to see everyone. Everyone praised him as a Bodhisattva who came to the earth. Later, he died of a bad disease. People's resentment and anger were not gone, and they all maliciously speculated that he was a person full of bad luck, and they had originally escaped from where he had escaped."

Xu Wenqing was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Later... a group of imperial physicians came here and recognized the inscription on it." Wei Lian said, "That old doctor is Mr. Lin Shi'an Lin."

Xu Wenqing was stunned.

...Even a junior like him, he had heard of Mr. Lin's name. He was once the master of the Imperial Hospital, and the senior brother of Doctor Wang. My father always said that it was a pity that he was born late, otherwise Mr. Lin would have asked him to accept him as his disciple.

Nowadays, half of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were guided by Mr. Lin when they were young.

But that gentleman resigned from the Imperial Hospital eighteen years ago.

The reason is... If a doctor cannot save people, it will be like a general rusting sword. He is in Yongping to treat high-ranking officials and nobles. However, high-ranking officials and nobles do not lack doctors and have nowhere to display their skills. He wants to go to the world to save the world and help more people who cannot afford to see a doctor.

He gave up all fame, fortune and status, and set out on his way with a medicine box on his back, and no news ever since.

The imperial physicians all thought that he was returning home in glory and finding a place to live his life. Or traveling around to save the world and save people.

The latter guessed correctly. Lin Shi'an really helped the world, and every time he went to a place, he could benefit the people. Then one day, he came to the poor Qingping County and found that there was not even a doctor here, so he became a doctor here.

Half a lifetime of glory and half a lifetime of freedom, but the evening scene is miserable.

I hope that people in the world will be free from illness, even if the medicine is spread out. Mr. Lin’s belief has long been engraved in his bones and placed in the couplet. However, those illiterate people cannot understand it and cannot understand it.

Xu Wenqing covered his eyes and choked and said, "I have never seen Mr. Lin, but I have heard it from my uncles and uncles countless times. He is so respected in Yongping, but he is so trampled here!"

"Do not let those who support sentient beings die in public anger, and do not let those who benefit the world be buried in people's hearts." Wei Lian lowered his eyes, "It's just that the world always cold the hearts of good people."

Xu Wenqing couldn't speak.

"But I tell you this is not to make you desperate." Wei Lian said again, "Mr. Lin gave up all fame and fortune, and saved the world with his hands and a clean wind. He settled in Qingping County in his later years. It seems that outsiders are worth it, but to him, it is worth it."

Xu Wenqing lived too simple for the past 17 years. When he suddenly saw such darkness, he easily felt that the world was bad and directly subverted his entire outlook on life.

Wei Lian would not comfort him how beautiful the world was. This was a complete lie for him. He just put all the sinister ones naked in front of Xu Wenqing and told him: Things in the world can be far more sinister than you think.

But things in the world are not black or white.

"Our medicinal materials have already been sold out. Medicinal materials merchants in several nearby counties have taken the opportunity to raise the drug prices and make a fortune. Those medicinal materials were purchased by the imperial court at high prices." Wei Lian said lightly these things that are unknown to outsiders.

Xu Wenqing was almost desperate. He found that the young master was not here to untie his knot, but to kill him to death.

"But." Wei Lian turned around, "There are also a group of medicinal materials vendors who are willing to donate all medicinal materials to us to solve the urgent problem."

Xu Wenqing was stunned.

"There are dog officials like Liu Rengui, Zhang Xuwen, and there are also good officials like Zhou Tingwei and Qingqiu County Magistrate who really pleaded for the people."

"When I ordered all patients to be isolated to Qingping County, they thought they were going to die." Wei Lian said, "Some people wanted to push their families to die for money, while others voluntarily died for their families. Some were ignorant but knew how to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, while others read poetry and books but did all the bad things. People are different."

"The land standing beneath your feet nourishes ignorant, selfish, and extremely vicious people, and also nourishes those who are like a mirror, with great love boundless and immortal."

"But they are more just ordinary people. They are not that pure and kind or that bad. They are just the most ordinary people among the countless people. They have never made any contributions in their lives and have never done anything bad. They should have the right to survive."

“The human world is not heaven, nor hell.”

“This place is the world.”

Xu Wenqing's lips twitched and she didn't say a word for a while.

He had always thought that the young master was a god-like figure and was not involved in the fireworks of the world.

But now I feel that the young master is the most humane one.

The young master lived too clearly.

"Authentic, there are many people in this world who are not good. They are short-sighted because of their limited environment, or do evil because of their natural harshness." Wei Lian said, "You must know that so many people will always have good or evil. They coexist in the world, form a family and country, and our king is working hard to build it."

Xu Wenqing: "Your Majesty?"

"Well." Wei Lian lowered his eyes, "You should go to see the State of Chu. The royal family there was corrupt, the officialdom was turbid, and the people were suffering and complaining. I came to Qin all the way, but what I saw was the simple customs of the people, the political clarity, and everyone had a smile on their faces, your king...or our king," he smiled, "It's really good."

"Don't have too much hope for people's hearts." Wei Lian said, "but don't have to be so desperate."

A person who is full of darkness will devour his body and will be punished severely by law.

And your bright heart cannot be shaken by it.

The world is worth it. He only understood this principle not long ago, but now he is going to teach others again in a blink of an eye.

Xu Wenqing seemed to be thinking.

After hearing what the young master said, he felt like he was enlightened and suddenly realized. Although he was still a little uneducated, he was not as strong as before.

"Thank you, my son, I understand." Xu Wenqing bowed and bowed.

Wei Lian nodded: "It's good to understand, I will teach you medical skills in the future."

Xu Wenqing was stunned and then said ecstaticly: "Are you willing to teach me?"

"If a doctor cannot save people, it is like a general's sword rusting." Wei Lian said helplessly, "I have tied up with your Majesty in this life. If I want to accompany him to a sword and iron horse, I may not be able to save the world. It is better to teach people how to fish and benefit all living beings."

Xu Wenqing: “…”

While moved, I felt like I was shown off.

"Xiao Xu?" An old woman held her granddaughter and rubbed her eyes when she saw Wei Lian and Xu Wenqing.

"Eh?" Xu Wenqing turned around, "Auntie Li?"

The grandparents and grandchildren were also infected before and were taken care of by Xu Wenqing. Now they have completely recovered.

"It's considered finding you!" The old woman was holding a chicken and was about to hand it to Xu Wenqing, "Thank you for taking care of us before. If it weren't for you, we would have lost our lives. We have nothing to repay you. This is the old hen raised at home. We came here to thank you."

Every household in Qingping County is not rich, and an old hen is probably the entire property of the grandparents and grandchildren.

Xu Wenqing was shocked and his face turned slightly red: "Miss Li, I can't ask for this chicken! You'd better take it back!"

"You just accept it..."

"I can't accept it if it doesn't work!"

The little granddaughter also said, "Brother, please accept it!"

Xu Wenqing was so scared that she hid behind Wei Lian: "Young Master, save me!"

Wei Lian laughed softly and said, "My aunt took the chicken back. Xiao Xu is allergic to chickens and can't eat them."

Xu Wenqing immediately agreed: "Yes, yes! I feel itchy all over when I eat chicken and I will get sick!"

Although it is true that he likes to eat chicken legs, this old hen must not be collected.

The old woman was worried: "But... we have nothing else to show off..."
To be continued...
