Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 84 Know people, know medicine.

"Brother Mu, you know, what is the most important thing about studying medicine?"

In the wind and snow, Mr. Li spoke slowly, his voice was flat, but in the howling cold wind, it was transmitted to Chu Mu's ears extremely clearly.

"Know people, know medicine."

Chu Mu pondered for a moment, and said these four words very firmly.

"Brother Mu, you are really talented and intelligent. After only one month of studying medicine, you have understood the essence."

Mr. Li expressed his appreciation: "This principle is the most important principle of medicine!"

"Know people, understand people's needs, know medicine, understand the principles of medicine, can treat symptoms, and understand needs."

"Brother Mu, you are a martial artist, and you studied medicine with this old man, presumably because of what you need to practice martial arts. If so, you must keep this principle in mind. Only by knowing people and medicine can you know what you need."

Seeing Old Li speak, Chu Mu's scruples dissipated a lot, and he revealed the doubt that he always wanted to ask, but he didn't know who to ask.

"Dare to ask Mr. Li, the practice of Qi and blood is all a day-to-day effort?"

"Day after day, the water grinds kung fu..."

Mr. Li was slightly stunned, as if his emotions were aroused, but he sighed softly: "For ordinary people like me, it is naturally a day-to-day grind."

"A person's life is so short."

"Practicing with energy and blood can waste half your life in vain!"

"Naihe...Naihe..."

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, as if thinking, and then he asked again: "If you know people, know medicine...can you avoid this hard work?"

"Know people... know medicine..."

Mr. Li chuckled: "Brother Mu is talented and intelligent, so naturally he has such ambitions."

"It may be difficult for ordinary people to reach this level in a lifetime, so how can we avoid this hard work?"

"Furthermore, even if you don't need to grind your kung fu, how many of them will end up with nothing to do for decades..."

Chu Mu raised his head sharply, his eyes sparkled, and he looked at Elder Li with an inexplicable eagerness.

Mr. Li didn't seem to notice Chu Mu's eager gaze, and looked at the sky with slightly cloudy eyes, and said quietly: "It's too dark today."

Chu Mu was silent. He was very sure now that Mr. Li in front of him...not to mention whether he was truly extraordinary, but...he should have been in contact with the real extraordinary world.

Maybe... just like the old man in Qili Village?
Or, stepped into the extraordinary world, was devastated by reality, disheartened, and retreated to this small town?

It's...too dark?
Chu Mu was thoughtful, but then he felt extremely relieved.

Extraordinary sky, too dark.

Is this worldly sky already bright?
Chu Mu could understand Mr. Li's embarrassment, just as Mr. Li had always disliked the lives of ordinary people treated by inspection stations.

Chu Mu could understand, but couldn't empathize.

People, after all, are selfish.

He, Chu Mu, is just an extremely insignificant member of the crowd.

It would be nice to be able to be alone and do the best you can.

As for Daji Tianxia... that's nonsense.

Who wants to ask for trouble?Anyway, he didn't want to.

"Hey, when people are old, it's always easy to feel emotional."

Mr. Li shook his head: "Brother Mu, you are laughing at me."

Chu Mu was a little confused, he didn't understand, what was the intention of Mr. Li's half-covered words and deeds?

If you don't intend to, then you don't need to say so much, just keep the previous pure interest relationship.

But the fact is that they have uncovered their veils one after another, exposing their mysteries, but they don't say anything, as if pretending to be mysterious.

Unable to figure it out, Chu Mu didn't struggle too much.

No matter what, after all, there must be a purpose.

Since there is intention, it will be exposed to him sooner or later.

He... just stay the same and respond to all changes.

Chu Mu remained silent, silently following behind Mr. Li.

Although he didn't know the specific target of Mr. Li's visit today, Chu Mu could probably guess that the workload today might not be light.

After all, with such a big turmoil last night, it is impossible for a large number of patrol inspections without casualties.

Those who died can be buried directly, and in the end it is nothing more than a pension.

But if it is injured, it needs to be healed.

And in Nanshan Town, there are no other doctors except Mr. Li.

The facts are just as Chu Mu guessed.

The first day of his "paid leave" was a day of walking around the streets.

Despite studying medicine for more than half a month, Chu Mu already has a deep understanding of the medical skills of this era.

But after walking around the streets and alleys for a day and witnessing Mr. Li's treatment again and again, Chu Mu realized that his cognition was still too superficial.

In an era when the magical concept of qi and blood really existed, the seemingly backward medical system was combined with the magical physique of qi and blood.

Its healing effect and range of treatment seem to be much stronger than those in his previous life when the technology took off, and it is also...much more miraculous.

If it wasn't for having a certain understanding of the medical skills of this era, I'm afraid there is a feeling of watching... witchcraft.

Maybe there are only a few doctors like Mr. Li who have both superb medical skills and extraordinary martial arts, but in a sense, it seems that the upper limit of this era is indeed very high.

After all, this is only in the secular world, the Qi and blood system, and the medical skill system, it seems, are also a member of the secular system.

And on top of that, there is a higher level of transcendence, and there must be more unimaginable.

Chu Mu studied very seriously. There were dozens of wounded, with different injuries. Some were burned, some were missing arms and legs, and some were disemboweled. All of them showed the brutality of the battle last night.

Although most of the injuries were treated by Mr. Li last night, the follow-up consultation, Mr. Li's words and deeds, and the combination of Chu Mu's own accumulated knowledge and reality undoubtedly benefited Chu Mu a lot.

In particular, Mr. Li's combination of medicinal materials made Chu Mu almost amazed.

In Mingxintang, there are 230 or eight types of medicinal materials, and a detailed explanation of medicinal materials that Chu Mu read recently, there are nearly [-] types of medicinal materials included in the book.

Each medicinal material has different medicinal properties, and even the same medicinal material has different medicinal properties when used at different time points or treated in different ways.

This is like a math problem with countless answers. Chu Mu is still in the dark about all of this, and most of the time he just follows the scriptures.

But in the hands of Mr. Li, it seems that all the answers are familiar.

Of course, Chu Mu knew that this must be an illusion. No matter how superb his medical skills were, Old Li couldn't possibly know all the answers.

After all, there are countless answers.

But this kind of illusion undoubtedly clearly shows that Li's medical skills, knowing people and medicine, have reached the point where Chu Mu can't understand.

There is no doubt that what Chu Mu wants to pursue is what Mr. Li has already mastered.

His goal is undoubtedly unprecedentedly clear.
