An old man!
Hu Xiaobei was surprised at this mont because he saw an old man dressed in a Zhongshan suit slowly walking towards them.
"Old sir, hello!"
After quickly pocketing his keys, Hu Xiaobei proactively walked over and greeted him.
At the sa ti, Hu Xiaobei subconsciously scrutinized the man and quickly furrowed his brow because he noticed there was sothing wrong with the man's health...
"Um, young man, this is Xiaohe Village, right?"
Hearing the feeble question, Hu Xiaobei withdrew his gaze. "Yes! Are you looking for soone? I'm from Xiaohe Village, my na is Hu Xiaobei, I can show you the way!"
"Thank you! But I'm not here to find anyone, I just plan to have another good look around. When I was young, I used to gather dicinal herbs here, so now I want to take one last look before it's too late!"
Hearing the hoarse voice begin, Hu Xiaobei knew he must be aware his end was near.
After hesitating, Hu Xiaobei spoke up, "Elder, have you been frequently feeling uncomfortable in your heart area recently?"
The old man was montarily stunned as Hu Xiaobei bluntly pointed out his problem. "Hm? How do you know? Do you know dical skills?"
Seeing the surprise on his face, Hu Xiaobei nodded gently, "A little!"
Hu Xiaobei knew that his surprise was entirely because Hu Xiaobei was too young.
A slack mouth does an insecure job!
It seed that the older, the more sought-after doctors were...
"Then tell how you figured it out!"
Smiling, Hu Xiaobei organized his words a bit before replying, "It's quite simple. The heart controls blood, and since you have a heart problem that's causing issues with your blood circulation, you're weak and running low on Qi and blood, which is why your lips have turned purple!"
"Amazing! That's exactly what the doctors told too! Ah, getting old brings more health issues, that's why I've accepted my fate!"
"Aren't you going to try to treat it?"
"If there were a chance, of course I'd consider it, but the doctors are at a loss! So I don't plan to keep wasting money!"
Feeling his resignation, Hu Xiaobei felt it was a pity and hesitated slightly before speaking up, "Old man, I feel that I can cure you. Would you like to try?"
"You can cure?"
"I believe I can! Of course, if you're unwilling, then just ignore what I said."
After saying that, Hu Xiaobei just quietly watched him...
From the first glance, Hu Xiaobei felt a faint sense of affinity toward the man, Hu Xiaobei didn't know why, but he truly didn't want to see him give up like this...
At that mont, Hu Xiaobei noticed him taking an incense bag out of his pocket...
Curiously watching the incense bag, Hu Xiaobei heard a slightly hoarse inquiry, "Can you identify what dicinal herbs are inside through their scent?"
Knowing he was being tested, Hu Xiaobei smiled.
Because Hu Xiaobei knew that since he was being tested, it ant the old man believed in him!
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said, "I don't think there's a problem!"
Sensing Hu Xiaobei's confidence, he nodded, "Then you..."
As he said this and was about to hand the incense bag over, he heard Hu Xiaobei speak up first, "Ming Xiangzi, Juelian, Seven-flavor Zi, Jingzhi, and white celery!"
Shocked!
Song Feng was completely shocked by Hu Xiaobei!
Just before, when Hu Xiaobei ntioned Ming Xiangzi, he wasn't too surprised because he knew the scent of Ming Xiangzi was strong and anyone with a bit of knowledge could recognize it...
But when Hu Xiaobei called out Seven-flavor Zi, he was thoroughly shocked!
Because he knew that the Seven-flavor Zi had a very faint sll that was hard to detect even upon close sniffing, and yet he could still detect it from such a distance!
After reciting the nas of the dicinal herbs, Hu Xiaobei looked at the astonished Song Feng and said softly, "Old master, was I right?"
"You... you're amazing!"
Hu Xiaobei smiled!
Ever since he had acquired Shennong's Hundred Herbs Scripture, the Nine Wood True Qi had transford Hu Xiaobei's nose, making his sense of sll incredibly acute!
After carefully putting away the incense bag, he asked quickly, "You... you really have a way to cure ?"
"I can't make any promises without a closer examination, but I assure you, I will do my utmost!"
"Then I'm troubling you!"
"No problem! Let's head to my place now!"
"Alright!"
And so, Hu Xiaobei and he returned to his ho, where Hu Xiaobei learned his na was Song Feng, who normally resided in the city...
Looking around the village, Song Feng asked with so confusion, "Xiaohe Village doesn't seem to have changed much from the past! What's going on?"
Song Feng knew it had been many years since his last visit, so he expected significant changes to the village, but upon entering, he realized the village had barely changed at all!
Knowing it would take a long ti to explain, Hu Xiaobei promptly said, "I'll explain it to you slowly later. For now, let's focus on your illness!"
"Alright!"
Song Feng nodded and sat down.
Seeing him seated, Hu Xiaobei also sat down and then began to take his pulse...
Soon, Hu Xiaobei frowned slightly because he realized that Song Feng's problem was indeed very serious.
Song Feng had been watching Hu Xiaobei's expressions closely, so when he saw the frown, he asked nervously, "How is it? Is there a way?"
"There is! But a full recovery will require so ti for recuperation. Are you willing?"
"Of course, I'm willing!"
"Alright then! I'll clean up the room in the west side for you. You can stay there temporarily while I slowly figure out how to treat your body! By the way, it will be a quite long recovery, so you might want to let your family know, so they don't worry."
"Okay! I'll make a phone call ho later to have my family send so things over!"
"That'll work!"
After he continued to bask in the sun for a while, Hu Xiaobei started to tidy up a room...
While Hu Xiaobei was tidying the room, many people from nearby villages began to converge on Xiaohe Village because when they went to sell dicinal herbs at the county purchasing station, they found that it had stopped buying dicinal herbs!
After learning that they were no longer purchasing herbs and inquiring why, they found out it was due to Hu Xiaobei...
Knowing this, they beca angry and this ti ca directly to Hu Xiaobei to confront him...
"What's going on here? Why are so many people coming our way?"
The won watering the fields frowned upon seeing the influx of villagers...
"Let's go have a look!"
"Okay!"
With that, they all started heading back towards the village!
In the village, Wang Dagui, already in a poor mood because of Hu Xiaobei, grew curious upon hearing that many people from surrounding villages were gathering and, after inquiring, laughed upon discovering they were looking for Hu Xiaobei...
"Hu Xiaobei, it looks like you're in trouble again! Haha! You really are a troublemaker! This ti, I want to see how you'll get out of this!"
With an excited growl, Wang Dagui quickly ran out...
