Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, there were only about a dozen people coming to seek medical treatment.

In fact, it’s no wonder. These days, people in the countryside have the following attitude towards illness: delay minor illnesses, endure major illnesses, and wait to see the King of Hell for serious illnesses!

Doctor Han Li is an honest man, but most of the villagers are also simple and honest. Most of those who come to him for treatment will give him some money or things in kind.

Imagine that a doctor treated the villagers in a village and ended up making nothing. He would not want to come to the village again next time.

After all, doctors also need to support their families.

This can be considered as a tacit understanding between Doctor Han Li and the villagers.

"Uncle Mancang, you often run around in the mountains. If you come across flowers, plants, or wild fruits that you don't recognize, please bring them back for me to see. Sometimes these rare things can be sold for a good price."

Han Li is now more knowledgeable than before. Unlike before, he didn't recognize the origins of many of the medicinal herbs brought by the villagers. As for wild fruits, he could also bring them back to Beijing for his family to taste.

"Okay." A spirited old man immediately nodded with a smile: "I found several purple vines a few days ago. Doctor Han, please help me take them to the city and try to sell them. I'll sell them for as much as I can."

In fact, there are some medicinal herb dealers who come to the village to buy medicinal herbs, but they often offer a relatively low price. However, if the medicinal herbs are given to Han Li to take to the capital, they can be sold for a good price.

Han Li was slightly startled, but soon realized that this purple vine was another name for Polygonum multiflorum. He smiled and nodded: "Okay. I'll come to your house to take a look when I'm done."

When Han Li, his predecessor, was in the countryside, he didn't have patients every day, so he had to do some side jobs, such as collecting herbs in the mountains and helping people sell Gastrodia elata and Ganoderma lucidum when he returned to the city.

Just now, I went up the mountain to collect herbs. I had been an honest person all my life and had never made any mistakes. But I slipped and died.

After treating these people, Han Li went to see outpatients, after all, some patients were unable to move due to injuries.

Before leaving, he told Lin Yongan: "Yongan, go dig some earthworms or some vegetable worms later."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Watching Lin Yongan running away in a hurry, Han Li smiled and shook his head: "This kid is really impatient!"

After finishing the outpatient treatment, Han Li went to the fields to look for some common medicinal herbs; since he had decided to start the plan of recruiting disciples, he naturally had to start with the simplest way of identifying medicinal herbs.

He mostly used these inconspicuous weeds to treat diseases, the reason being, of course, because he was poor.

But no matter whether they are weeds or herbs, all those that can cure diseases are good herbs.

The villagers working in the fields would greet Han Li enthusiastically when they saw him. It was obvious that his predecessor used to do this as well.

Looking at the simple smiles of these working people, Han Li greeted them with a smile, and suddenly remembered that as a farmer's son in his previous life, he knew a lot of crop planting techniques. As long as he told the planting techniques to these honest farmers and increased grain production, it would be a good deed.

He had even thought of an excuse, saying that this is what Qinjia Village did and that the output increased a lot last year; when he arrived at Qinjia Village, he said that someone in Linjia Village did the same thing last year and the output was increased.

Just when Han Li was still wondering which villager was reliable, he suddenly heard someone calling him: "Brother Han Li, Brother Han Li."

It’s like this in the countryside, transportation basically relies on walking, and communication basically relies on shouting.

Hearing Lin Yongan's voice, Han Li responded and walked back.

As for planting techniques, I can only wait until I find someone reliable to help me.

Not long after, Han Li and Lin Yongan met up.

"Brother Han Li, do you think these are enough?"

"Is that enough? You have destroyed the earthworms' nest." Han Li shook his head with amusement: "Let's go, let's go to the river to catch fish."

"Then I'll go home and get the hook."

"No need for a hook. I have a good thing that can catch fish."

The two walked back while talking. Whenever Han Li saw usable herbs on the road, he would teach Lin Pingan on the spot.

At this moment, Lin Yongping came running over, crying sadly, and she was already crying uncontrollably.

Lin Yongan was extremely anxious. After a while of trying to comfort his sister, he finally heard her sobbing and saying, "Heidan stole my paper windmill and also beat me, wuwuwu..."

"Pingping, don't cry. I'm going to beat up that bastard Heidan right now and get your paper windmill back."

Seeing Lin Yongan clenching his fists and about to vent his anger on his sister, Han Li grabbed him and persuaded him earnestly:

"Don't be impulsive when encountering things. Think about whether there are other solutions. You beat that black egg this time. Do you believe that he will dare to steal Yongping's things and bully Yongping next time?"

These two siblings have no parents, so they are bound to be bullied. It is foreseeable that after Lin Yongan beats Heidan up, Heidan will turn around and get people to beat Lin Yongan up.

Lin Yongan was confused: "Brother Han Li, what should I do?"

"When I was in Qinjia Village, there was a big kid who always liked to bully a little girl. After the little girl's brother found out, whenever he heard someone beat up the big kid, the girl's brother would give the kid a candy."

Han Li's mouth curled up slightly: "After that, more and more people beat up the older child, and the older child no longer dared to bully the little girl."

Lin Yongan looked frustrated: "But, but I don't have any candy."

Han Li tapped Lin Yongan's forehead: "Think carefully about what was stolen from your sister?"

Hearing this, Lin Yongan seemed to have grasped some key information. He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly he understood and said happily: "Brother Han Li, I know what to do."

Han Li waved his hand: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly, I will comfort Yongping."

Lin Yongan looked at Han Li with admiration and gratitude, then turned and ran away.

Then, Han Li squatted down, smiled gently and said, "Yongping, can I teach you to sing "Two Tigers"?"

Don’t think that Han Li can only tell stories, he has no problem singing nursery rhymes too.

Speaking of stories, he wrote ten more stories last night and asked his sister to give them to Li Zhaodi.

When Lin Yongping heard that Han Lige wanted to teach her to sing, her crying suddenly became much quieter and she just sobbed.

"Two tigers love to dance. Oops, I sang it wrong. Let's do it again. Two tigers. Two tigers run fast..."

When Lin Yongan came back, he was surprised to find that his sister not only stopped crying, but her face was full of happy smiles.

"Okay, let's go catch some fish. We'll have fish soup tonight."

Han Li greeted the brother and sister and walked towards Zheng Jinhe's house at the entrance of the village.

"Little Han, I was just about to come look for you." As she spoke, Zheng Jinhe took out a bamboo fishing cage and asked expectantly, "Take a quick look at the fishing cage and see if it looks like this?"

Han Li took the fish cage and looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction: "Right. That's it. Sister Jin He, ask my brother Dashan to make another one that's half the size of this one. This one is too big and it's not convenient for people to carry it with them when they go out."

"Okay, okay." Zheng Jinhe's face lit up, and she asked hesitantly, "Brother Xiao Han, how much can this fish cage sell for?"

"I can't tell you how much this can be sold for. I can buy it at the price of a bamboo basket first, and then we can split it if it sells well in the city. Sister Jin He, do you think this is okay?"

"That's great!" Zheng Jinhe said excitedly, "Little Han, I can't thank you enough. I will remember all your kindness to my family. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

Seeing Zheng Jinhe's seductive glance, Han Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This woman is really still harboring evil intentions!

"I didn't do anything. It's mainly because Dashan has good skills. Let's try this fish cage first to see if it works."

Han Li responded with an awkward smile, then took Lin Yongan and his sister to the riverside.
