TCM Gaoyuan

He was buried in Yanxun.

There was no funeral, and Yan Xun's wife and children did not show up until his death.The remaining so-called relatives and brothers of the Yan family did not come either.After Yan Qiao's death, the feudal Yan family failed to survive the subsequent turmoil. There were internal and external troubles, and there was no one in charge. The Yan family quickly turned against each other, and no outsiders were close to each other.

What Gao Yuan didn't expect was that the two cousins ​​Yan Kuan and Yan Ren were not here either. Because of Shen Congyun, these two people had been staying in Zhangzhuang and had Gao Yuan's protection, so they did not experience any big disturbances. , the relationship with the Yan family is not completely broken.

Unfortunately, they didn't come either, only Shen Congyun as his uncle came.

This period of time was so tiring that Shen Congyun's complexion was not as good as before. Looking at the deserted scene, he sighed slightly and said, "I thought of the scene when Li Shengli left."

Gao Yuan looked at him.

Shen Congyun said: "At that time, there were circles and circles of people inside and outside. Not so many relatives and friends came. They were all surrounding villagers who had received his kindness and treatment. You said, Doctors practice medicine all their lives, what do they want?"

"In other words, what can truly commend a doctor's lifelong hard work and achievements? Is it a senior professional title? Is it an official award? Or is it the overwhelming obituaries in newspapers? I think these are all, and these have always been what I think. pursued."

"But when Li Shengli died, he didn't have any senior professional title, no awards, no newspaper reports, and no leaders. He was just the poor people around him, but I envied him very much, really envied him. .”

"Look at Xiao Xun, and then look at Li Shengli. When it comes to medical skills, Xiao Xun's ability is thousands more than Li Shengli's. When it comes to death, both of them died trying to cure diseases and save people. But Li Shengli became a hero, and Xiao Xun became a hero. A lonely ghost."

At this point, Shen Congyun couldn't help but choked up. He covered his nose and barely suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart before saying: "Xiao Xun...Xiao Xun could have been better. He is the old man's highest hope." My grandson is the hope of the Yan family. It's a pity that the Yan family is gone, and Xiao Xun is gone too. How could this happen...how could this happen..."

Gao Yuan looked at Yan Xun's tombstone and remained silent.

Li Runyu also sighed deeply, thinking of Yan Qiao, the former No. [-] Chinese medicine family in the county, and the years when he and the Yan family competed.Now that the soil has been buried up to his nose, the Yan family has also been silent in history. Looking at the younger members of the Yan family, he knows that there will be no more Yan family in the future.Thinking of this, Li Runyu couldn't help but feel sad.

Li Runyu looked at Yan Xun's tombstone and said, "No matter what, at least he fought better than me in this battle."

After saying that, Li Runyu took away Yan Xun's relics, which was the copper coin, and walked to Yan Qiao's grave on the other side.Because no one was taking care of it, Yanqiao's grave was overgrown with weeds. Li Runyu helped his old enemy pull up the grass in front of the grave, and then buried the copper coin face up in the soil in front of the grave.

He said to Yan Qiao: "Congratulations, Doctor Yan, someone from your Yan family has defeated me."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up from the mountain, blowing up the sky full of paper money, smoke, dust and loess. The people on the mountain were so fascinated that they could not open their eyes. Only Li Runyu was still smiling.

Gao Yuan also gently closed his eyes and said slowly: "If there is another life, we will not be master and apprentice, but father and son."

……

After the funeral, Gao Yuan said to them: "You all go back, I want to go to Huo Township."

"Dad..." Several children looked at Gao Yuan worriedly.

Gao Yuan said: "Don't worry about me, just go with me if you go. You can go about your business."

The children all knew Gao Yuan's temper and did not dare to talk back to him, so they asked He Fang to take care of their father, and then they all left.

Gao Yuan and He Fang got on the bus to Huoxiang. He Fang didn't dare to talk much on the way. He knew Yan Xun's identity. He was also a disciple, and now he was a little envious of Yan Xun.

When they arrived in Huoxiang, ten thousand catties of grain were already waiting to pick them up in the village.When he saw Gao Yuan, Wan Jinliang's face was full of guilt: "Doctor Gao, I... I didn't expect that something like this happened to Yan Xun. I wish I had gone over earlier to take a look. What did you say? …”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "How can I blame you for this matter? It is his own choice. Everything is fate, and he has no control over it."

Wan Jin Liang also sighed, thinking of the innocent and active young man he once was, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Gao Yuan said to him: "I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"You say it, you say it." Wanjinliang agreed hurriedly.

Gao Yuan said: "Take me to the clinic where Yan Xun last practiced medicine."

"Okay." Wan Jinliang took Gao Yuan and He Fang to the abandoned cowshed. He pointed to the front and said, "This is it. No one raises cattle now, so it has been abandoned for a long time."

He Fang looked at the abandoned cowshed halfway up the mountain with curiosity. He did not expect that such a place could also be used as a clinic. Although he had never met this senior brother, he also became sentimental.

Wan Jinliang said to Gao Yuan: "Although Yan Xun's clinic is located halfway up the mountain, there are quite a lot of people who come to see him. He has good medical skills and charges very cheaply. He treats the elderly and children for free." , so everyone believes in him. After he was banned, many people came over. In fact... he is actually quite good."

Gao Yuan stepped forward to remove the seal, pulled the door lock, and found that the latch fell off.

Wan Jinliang said a little embarrassedly: "This is a broken lock. He picked it up. He was not willing to spend money to buy a new one, so he just used it."

Gao Yuan tightened his mouth. In the past, Yan Xun was very particular and would not use bad things, let alone pick up the rags that others threw away.Then and now, looking at the broken lock, Gao Yuan's heart felt like it had been gouged out.

Gao Yuan took the broken lock and pushed open the door.The smell of stale dust came from the shop, mixed with a strong and complex medicinal smell.Gao Yuan looked inside and saw that there were no electric lights in the dilapidated cowshed, only a bent candle on the table.

The ground was relatively clean, but it was also covered in dust.The rough mud wall was covered with mold spots, spider webs, and several cracks, allowing the wind to blow in along the cracks in the wall.The windows were already in tatters, but they were only wrapped in the worst plastic film, and they were also torn.Gao Yuan looked up and saw the sun shining in through the holes in the roof like a machine gun.

Gao Yuan asked with difficulty: "Is this... the place where he lives?"

Wanjinliang said: "Yes."

Gao Yuan asked: "Where is the bed? Where will he sleep?"

Wanjin Liang pointed to the haystack in the corner.

"This is not a place for people to live." Gao Yuan was heartbroken, but Yan Xun was unable to save such a simple livestock shed in the end.Perhaps this was the last straw that stopped him from preparing to start a new life. He must have done these things with the intention of dying, and he had no intention of coming back alive.

Gao Yuan slowly turned around and looked at the medicine cabinet placed on the wall, which was carefully covered with a transparent plastic sheet.Gao Yuan reached out and touched it, then looked back at the inferior and tattered plastic film used to cover the windows. The plastic sheet used to cover the medicine cabinet in the room was much thicker than the plastic film used to protect him from the wind and rain outside.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan could no longer restrain himself. Immediately he felt a surge of heat, then his head was confused and his body fell stiffly to the side.

"Teacher!" He Fang exclaimed.
