Chapter 260: The Hermit Doctor Hu

Huang Rong understood what Xin Zhen meant, but Guo Jing shook his head and said, "Practicing medicine is good, Uncle Guo supports you, but you are only thirteen years old now, too young, and it is too unsafe for you to be alone outside.

How about this, you follow Uncle Guo back to Peach Blossom Island, and when you are 20 years old, if you still want to practice medicine, Uncle Guo will give you money to build a clinic, what do you think?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Aunt Guo has already tested my martial arts, so I should have no problem protecting myself with my martial arts.

I am a person who doesn't like to cause trouble. I am either in the pub or at home. There is absolutely no problem with my safety.

I like this kind of life in the city very much. Life on the island is not suitable for me. Uncle Guo, I will live here. You can come and see me when you have time."

Although Xin Zhen said this with a smile, he was speaking very sincerely. However, Guo Jing was unwilling to let the son of his old friend live outside again. No matter how good Xin Zhen's martial arts skills were, or how mature his mind was, he was only thirteen years old, and in Guo Jing's heart, he was just a child.

Guo Jing refused flatly and said, "No, you have to follow me back to Peach Blossom Island. When you are twenty years old, you can go anywhere you want, but not now."

Xin Zhen was quite helpless. He looked at Huang Rong and said, "Aunt Guo, please help me persuade Uncle Guo. I don't want to go to the island. I like this kind of life the most. There are people coming and going in the tavern, and there are always new things happening every day. When I go home, I can study, practice calligraphy and practice martial arts by myself. I am free and at ease."

Huang Rong said without changing her expression: "Can we go in and take a look at your little nest?"

Xin Zhen knew that Huang Rong wanted to find out about him, but he had nothing to be afraid of, so he opened the door and said with a smile, "Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, please come in."

When they entered the porcelain kiln, Guo Jing immediately saw the Lu couple and two little girls lying on the bed. Guo Jing immediately asked, "This is the Lu couple, right? How are their injuries?"

Xin Zhen introduced them to each other. Guo Jing checked their injuries and asked in surprise, "Can you treat such serious injuries?"

Huang Rong was also very surprised. One of them had his skull smashed by gravity, and the other was hit in the lower abdomen by a heavy palm. Both were seriously injured and their lives were in danger. If they were not treated in time, they might die on the spot.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "My medical skills are pretty good. As long as the patient doesn't die on the spot, I can basically save him. I can also easily treat other difficult and complicated diseases. Seriously, if I wasn't too young and no one believed in my medical skills, it would be easy for me to earn the title of a miracle doctor."

Guo Jing was very happy and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a talent. If your mother knew, she would be very pleased."

Huang Rong smiled and said, "Guo'er, where did you learn all these medical skills?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "A few years ago, a traveling doctor passed by here. He had no place to stay, so I let him stay for a year. During this year, he helped me learn about medicine.

Later, I read books and learned by myself. Doctor Hu had a lot of books in his collection, and he copied a lot for me. I studied more when I had nothing to do. In addition, I have been treating poor people nearby for free in the past few years, and I have seen a lot of them. Now I can say that I have achieved something."

Huang Rong asked, "Can you let me see the medical book you copied?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Why not?"

Xin Zhen pulled open the cabinet against the wall, revealing a cabinet full of notebooks.

Xin Zhen was also quite proud, pointing out: "This section is for medical books, the more valuable ones include "Huangdi Xiama Jing", "Xiangfang Zi Mingtang Jiu Jing", "Taiping Shenghui Fang", "Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing", and "Sun Simiao Qianjin Fang".

These were Doctor Hu's secret collections, which he treasured at first, but only after I invited him to eat at the tavern for half a month did he let me copy them. The rest were more common, all medical books that could be bought on the market, but I didn't have much money to buy them, so I could only browse them in the store, remember them in my mind, and then copy them down. Fortunately, I have a good memory, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort.

This word refers to the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang poetry and Song lyrics, etc. I will read them when I have nothing to do.

As for the lower section, there are some martial arts secrets, mostly sword manuals, a little less fist and palm techniques, and about ten kinds of internal skills. If I meet someone who is destined to be with me, I will give them a few books, which can be regarded as a good relationship."

Guo Jing and Huang Rong looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Huang Rong asked, "Can I see your martial arts secrets?"

Xin Zhen nodded and smiled, "Just take a look at it casually, it's not a big deal. Doctor Hu said that medicine and martial arts are inseparable. If you have time, learn some martial arts, and you won't be afraid of medical troubles when you practice medicine in the future.

Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, please watch for now while I treat the injuries of the Lu couple. They are just temporarily resting from the illness now."

Guo Jing quickly said, "Just go about your business."

Xin Zhen then became busy.

Guo Jing was originally concentrating on watching Xin Zhen treat Lu Liding. He saw Xin Zhen helping Lu Liding to adjust his bones, then mixing mud and other things with water, then shaving Lu Liding's hair clean, and then smearing the mud on Lu Liding's head. Guo Jing was just confused.

Suddenly Huang Rong poked him. He turned around and saw Huang Rong's serious expression. Guo Jing whispered, "What's wrong?"

Huang Rong whispered, "Brother Jing, take a look at these martial arts secrets."

Guo Jing didn't understand, so he picked up a book at random. On the cover was written "Little World Sword Manual". Guo Jing opened it and took a look. After a while, he looked at Huang Rong in surprise. Huang Rong nodded and handed him a few more books. Guo Jing flipped through them for a while and his face became very solemn.

Huang Rong was concentrating on watching Xin Zhen treating Lu Liding's injuries. When she saw Xin Zhen smearing mud on Lu Liding's head, she asked in confusion, "Guo'er, why are you putting mud on his head?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "His skull was severely fractured. I fixed his bones, but there is still a risk of him moving. This mud is plaster, which can fix the skull and prevent it from moving. When the bones grow back, we can take off the plaster."

Huang Rong asked, "Did Doctor Hu teach you this?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's not the case. I have my own research on orthopedics and trauma. This is a method I summarized for treating orthopedics. People nearby have used it and say it's good."

Guo Jing then asked, "Guo'er, were these sword manuals and internal skills left to you by Doctor Hu?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "He taught me, and I wrote it down after I learned it."

Guo Jing asked solemnly: "Have you learned all of this?"

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I have learned sword techniques, fist techniques and palm techniques, but I have not learned the inner strength techniques. There are more than a dozen of them, so I cannot learn them randomly. The inner strength techniques I have learned are the general principles of the Nine Yin Manual, supplemented by the Bone Strengthening Chapter of the Book of Changes. They are much stronger than those recorded."
