Chapter 2 Barefoot Doctor, King Kong in the Clouds

People are afraid of famous pigs.

This old saying is indeed true.

Cao Jie was just a local doctor living in the vicinity of Shijie Village, and he also had some experience as a barefoot doctor besides fishing. Who could have expected that something like this would happen tonight.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid.

Born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze, I have never personally encountered such acts of violence.

Even though he is dreaming about robbing Wang Lun, mixing with both the black and white worlds, and unifying the nine provinces to become the emperor, it is all fantasy. Now all three legs are weak!
First of all, it’s obvious that these heroes are not serious people. If they are tricked into going up the mountain, they’ll be doomed.

His own plans, arrangements, and the heroes he needed to make friends with were all in chaos.

Secondly, Cao Jie knew exactly how much he was worth.

Medical skills, that is to open up six of the seven orifices, and rely entirely on the "medicine" given by the soul to practice medicine and treat diseases.

If the patient cannot be cured, or is killed by the cure, then it is like a knife going in and a knife coming out, and the mission is accomplished but the patient dies before the cure is accomplished. Who can I complain to?
It's so hard to get the chance to change your fate, so naturally you cherish your life more.

"Doctor Cao, don't be afraid. Once our eldest brother is cured, we will let you go back."

The man who was speaking had an untidy beard and unkempt hair. The smell of blood mixed with body odor on his body was quite pungent.

Cao Jie walked quickly in the middle, forced a smile, and said: "I try my best, but I am just a country foot doctor, and I am not very effective in treating headaches and foot pains. I know a miracle doctor, why don't you go and ask him to come, he can bring people back to life, his power is great."

"Who? Where?" The man was a little interested.

"This man's name is An Daoquan, he is known as a miracle doctor, and he is from Jiankang Prefecture."

"Jiankang Prefecture? Our eldest brother can't wait for this trip. Doctor Cao, I have found out everything. You are the only doctor with great medical skills in this Liangshan Lake area."

"..."

Cao Jie had a lot of grievances to express. In the past half month, he had gained experience and transformed a lot of "medicine", which actually saved some villagers.

But this "medicine" is not a panacea!

Come on, there will always be a way when you reach the mountain. No matter how scared you are, you have to go ahead.

After running in the dark for ten miles on the mountain road, a ray of fire finally appeared in front of us.

"Who?"

A low shout was heard in the darkness, and the faint sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard.

"It's me. How's my brother?"

"Old Third, you are back. Have you invited a doctor?"

"Please come."

"Hurry...Brother may not be able to hold on..."

When Cao Jie saw the "big brother", he was fainted beside the campfire, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and his bare chest was wrapped in a red-stained white cloth. Looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he might really be dying.

"hiss!"

Don't worry about whether you can do it or not, just act professional.

After pretending to take the patient's pulse, Cao Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least people are still alive.

It's hard to tell the pulse, but he definitely has a high fever.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing twice, Cao Jie said thoughtfully, "The injury is a bit serious. The most important thing now is to reduce the high fever. Go prepare a bowl of warm water."

As he spoke, two more pills appeared in Cao Jie's hand, one anti-inflammatory pill and one antipyretic pill.

And his face quickly turned tired as he took the two pills.

He turned his head to look at the patient again, pondered for a moment, and then two more pills appeared in his hand.

This "big brother" is really big. Although he is lying down, I estimate that he is definitely not shorter than Yao Ming.

Cao Jie felt that the normal dosage was not enough. He wondered if doubling it would lead to serious side effects. The person was almost dying, so there was no point in worrying about this.

The most important thing is to save the life.

'Amitabha, you must live!'

After taking the medicine with a bowl of warm water, Cao Jie sat down by the campfire. He seemed calm, but in fact, he was as nervous as an old dog. "When the day breaks, the fever will subside and the patient will be alive. Give me a portion of the barbecue. I'm so hungry that I'm almost starving."

"If you don't retreat..."

Before the quick-talking man could finish his words, a slap landed on the back of his head.

The force was quite strong and made him stagger.

"What are you talking about? Big brother will definitely survive."

"Yes, yes, yes! Doctor, you eat meat...eat meat."

The roasted wild boar meat sprinkled only with salt had a strong fishy smell when chewed and was also very chewy, but Cao Jie ate it to his heart's content.

These days, it’s good enough to have meat to eat, there’s nothing to be picky about.

After eating and drinking his fill and replenishing his consumed energy, Cao Jie finally had the mind to observe this group of heroes.

There were at least a dozen people, who looked like disaster victims, but also somewhat like soldiers.

Suddenly, two words popped into my mind - "Xiangjun".

What is the Xiang Army?

In fact, they are essentially refugees.

For a long time, the resettlement of refugees and disaster victims has been an old, big and difficult issue in every dynasty. If it is not handled properly, it will inevitably lead to endless troubles.

In dealing with this issue, the imperial court took a new approach and recruited refugees as soldiers, which not only strengthened the army but also maintained national security.

The starting point was good, but by the time of Emperor Huizong, even the imperial guards had collapsed, let alone the garrison troops.

These are a group of deserters!
Cao Jie stood up and pretended to check "Big Brother's" body.

I have to say that this "big brother" has a rather scary figure, estimated to be about two meters forty-five.

Although it was a demon version of Water Margin, Cao Jie had never seen anyone so tall.

'Song Wan, the King Kong in the Clouds? Or Du Qian, the One Touching the Sky?'

'Oh, and there's also a dangerous god called Yu Baosi, who's also a big fool.'

'At this point in time, Du Qian followed Wang Lun after leaving Chai Jin's house, Yu Baosi was a Qingzhou bandit, and the one in front of me should be Yunli Jin Gang! '

"Wang Lun has money, and Song Wan has connections with the Xiang army, no wonder they established Liangshan in such a short time." After thinking this way, Cao Jie put his mind at ease, found a comfortable place by the campfire, and slept soundly with some straw as a cushion.

It's not possible that someone would die from taking anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs!
When everyone saw how calm he was, they felt relieved.

Look, what is professional? This is called professional.

Big brother can’t die.

Sleep! Sleep!
Groggy and half asleep, Cao Jie suddenly jumped up from the ground and looked in the direction of Song Wan with a look of horror.

The cold moon is like a hook, hanging alone in the sky.

Only dark red charcoal was left of the campfire. The cold moonlight shone down, and a terrifying giant ape was seen standing beside Song Wan, pounding his chest violently with his arms and roaring silently towards the sky.

A wild breath hits me in the face!

hiss!
It was the first time that Cao Jie saw someone else’s soul, and his face was filled with horror.

You can tell at a glance that this thing has extremely high combat power!
Anyway, his soul is still trembling, so he can't be provoked.

The Earth Demon Star and Cloud King Kong Song Wan ranked 82nd among the 108 generals.

Then the three heroes of the Nguyen clan...

"Doctor, why are you so startled?"

"I was so scared that I almost killed my brother."

The two men who were dozing off on night watch put away their knives and kept cursing.

The others were also awakened and lost their sleepiness for a moment.

Suddenly, someone said in surprise: "Big brother is awake, big brother is awake."

"Brother is really awake!"

"Brother, brother, how are you..."

Amid the commotion, Cao Jie shouted, "Move aside! Your wounds haven't healed yet, why are you crowding together? Go get some dry firewood and cook some porridge..."

After sending everyone away, he looked at Song Wan again, but the giant ape was no longer there.

"You saved me? I don't know what the young doctor's name is, Song Wan will never forget it."

Song Wan was sitting cross-legged. He was only a head shorter than Cao Jie. Apart from his pale face, he no longer looked seriously injured.

This kind of recovery ability is simply a monster.

The reincarnation of the devil ape is nothing more than a monster.

"Cao Jie, you are from Shijie Village. You are in good health and can handle it without our medicine."

You should be humble. It would be bad if others want to start their own business and ask you to be their employee.

"Cao Jie, I'll remember this. When we find a place to stay on the mountain and make a lot of money, I will repay you for saving my life."

Song Wan looked serious. He was an "honest man" and had been called a big fool in the village since he was a child.

Cao Jie's heart moved, and he asked, "Where are you going?"

"See if there is any mountain that will take me in."

"Do you know Liangshan in Shuibo? You can stop there and give it a try."

Since they will all go to Liangshan anyway, it is better to give them some advice and end up in a good situation.

This reputation in the world was accumulated bit by bit.

"Liangshan?"

The two chatted for a while, Song Wan drank some porridge, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

It was still dark, and although Cao Jie was exhausted, as he had consumed too much energy to condense four pills in one breath, his body felt empty, but he had no desire to sleep.

Under the light of the campfire, the shadow in the corner twisted and distorted into a few lines of words in his eyes.

[Soul aspect: barefoot doctor (knows a little about internal and external medicine, Chinese and Western medicine, and general practice)]

[Experience: Level 2 (13/400)]

[Talent: Medical Kit LV2 (consume a certain amount of energy to condense the medicine you need)]

"Curing Song Wan actually gave me 20 experience points. I made the right decision this time."

"LV2 has more hemostatics, trauma medicine, and painkillers, all of which are good things."

"Now that the scope of medical practice has expanded, the experience points will definitely increase faster..."

After concentrating slightly, he saw that there was a small medicine box on the shoulder of the soul of the previous life, with a small red cross on it.

The talents of the [Barefoot Doctor] are quite different from those of the [Fisherman]. This medical box is more like a magic weapon. By investing essence into it, it can transform medicines from the previous life.

With such magical powers, it is only a matter of time before he gets the nickname "miracle doctor".

After checking out tonight’s harvest, Cao Jie couldn’t help but think of the black giant ape again.

"What kind of talent does Yunli Jin Gang have?"

'Does a combat talent need to develop in an inhuman direction?'

Recalling the nicknames of the Liangshan heroes, such as Jade Unicorn, Leopard Head, Thunderbolt Fire, Green-faced Beast, and Red-haired Ghost, more than half of those who can fight are non-human.

A small number of them are historical and mythological figures.

"My soul is my previous life!"

'It's difficult!'

"Can carpenters and blacksmiths drive Gundams in the future?"

As I was lost in thought and tossing and turning, the sky suddenly brightened. A ray of light dispelled the darkness, turning the sky into a pale sky.

As the morning glow rises, a red sun suddenly jumps out from the horizon, and a ray of faint morning light spreads across the vast land.

"My benefactor, please accept this little bit of silver. I will come back to you when we have established a firm foothold in Liangshan."

After using the hemostatic and analgesic drugs condensed by Cao Jie, Song Wan, who felt in much better health, became more humble.

According to the rules of the underworld, killing a doctor is a taboo.

Moreover, inviting such a "miracle doctor" to come up the mountain is equivalent to saving a few more lives!
Naturally, use sweet words and money to win them over.

Cao Jie couldn't refuse, so he took the silver ingot and put it in his sleeve, then bowed and said, "Brother Song Wan, please stay and take good care of your injuries. We will see you again if we are lucky."

Song Wan was very reluctant to leave, but he didn't want to offend the doctor who could save his life and force him to stay, so he said to his men, "Old Third, please send my benefactor home for me. The world is not peaceful now, and bandits are rampant. You must send my benefactor home safely."
