After seeing off the guests, An Ran returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, stared blankly at the medicine box left by the master before leaving.

The box in front of him was about one foot square, and it was carved from red sandalwood. Because the master had carried it with him for many years, it had turned purple-brown.

Fingertips gently rubbed along the delicate lines on the side, An Ran was in a deep trance: I remember Master once said that when he traveled in the early years, he went to a tribe in the deep mountains and cured the disease that the local pharmacist elder was helpless. So the pharmacist gave him the box as a souvenir.

Master loves this box so much that he has kept it with him for more than 2000 years, and now he keeps it for himself.

Yes, Master has lived for over 2000 years.

An Shipeng was born in 1984. He is very talented. At the age of 26, he received a doctorate from a famous medical school in the United States.After returning to China with his lover, he became the leading surgeon in China when he was less than 30 years old.

But when An Shipeng was at his happiest, his lover, who had always been in good health, got a strange disease.The master who saved countless patients was helpless when faced with his lover's illness. He tried countless remedies and took his lover to seek medical treatment in a country with the most advanced medical level, but in the end he still failed to save his lover's life .

After the lover's funeral, An Shipeng, who was devastated and tormented by loneliness and longing, finally jumped out of the window of their home after getting drunk. When he woke up, he miraculously returned to the year 2000. forward.

But he soon found out in despair that time seemed to have forgotten him. When he returned to the Three Kingdoms era, he would not suffer pain, bleed, grow old, or die, and even his hair and beard would no longer be there. Grow, and never drop one more.

Almost desperate, he was lucky enough to meet Hua Tuo, a genius doctor who was studying surgery at that time. After some exchanges, the two became close friends. Precious manuscript.

With the change of dynasties, whether it is emperors, generals, genius doctors or common people, each of them is gradually lost in the long river of time and turned into dust.Only him, watching the people around him leave him one after another.As time went by, he became more and more silent and his personality became more and more withdrawn. He didn't even dare to stay in the same place for more than 20 years.

During the thousands of years, he has been to countless places, met countless people, talked and discussed with many famous genius doctors in history, and slept in the same bed.He developed his medical skills to the miraculous point of curing diseases with medicine and bringing the dead back to life.His immortal body also rekindled his hope—maybe one day he can really live to the age of time travel and see his lover again, maybe this time he can save his lover's life with his own hands.

An Shipeng remembered that his lover's hometown was Yulin County, so he came here and waited quietly for his lover's arrival.During the days of waiting, he picked up An Ran in the swaddling baby, and saw that the little baby was exactly the same as the child he and his lover imagined in the previous life, so he took him home.

He raised the child carefully, taught him all his life skills, and even opened a small Chinese medicine clinic because he was afraid that Xiao Anran, who did not go to school, would not get along with others, and taught him to know outsiders through the Internet. world.

As little Anran grew up day by day, An Shipeng's temper became more and more withdrawn and irritable, because his lover never showed up.One morning years ago, when An Shipeng got up and added fake wrinkles and a fake beard to himself as usual, he suddenly froze in front of the mirror, first laughed, and then cried bitterly—he saw a few strands of his own hair on the comb, The time that had strayed from its course in him was finally back on track.

After regaining his composure, An Shipeng called An Ran to him. After the master and apprentice had a deep talk, An Shipeng trapped himself in the room for a whole day, and then left a letter and disappeared.

But An Ran knew that Master did not lie to herself, because during the 17 years that she lived with Master, his appearance had always been 30 years old and had never changed.

Although Master's departure made her very sad, An Ran understood that Master had delayed her for 17 years, so she could no longer be so selfish, but should hope that Master would find her lover sooner.After all, he has grown up, big enough to live independently without relying on his master.

Thinking of this, An Ran sniffed, her eyes were reddened and she opened the medicine box. The small box has four layers in total.

There is a cloth bag on the first floor, as well as tweezers, scalpels and other sundries;

The second layer is divided into many small grids, which are filled with large and small celadon bottles, which are pills with various effects that the master and apprentice have studied; on the third layer is a bank card, which is enough for the master to leave. My own living expenses without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of my life; a hard disk, which stores the master's experience in practicing medicine over the years, miscellaneous notes, and various difficult and miscellaneous diseases encountered. It was knocked in; when the last layer was opened, An Ran's eyes were red again: a black jade bottle and a manuscript lay quietly at the bottom of the box.He knew that it was Hua Tuo's manuscript and the life extension pill made by his master.Many kinds of medicinal materials in the life extension pill are gone now, but the master left it for himself when he left.

Although he had little contact with outsiders, he was not stupid. He understood why Bai Yichen stopped talking today after hearing that his master left him behind.

Does he feel sorry for himself?

But An Ran never thinks that he needs sympathy from others. Although he has no parents, he has a master who loves him as his own son; although he has never been to school, what he has learned is that others will never learn. knowledge.

Moreover, the master also said that I have almost learned what I should learn, and the rest needs time, accumulation, practice, and treatment of various patients. This is the meaning of the existence of a doctor.Since this is the case, then I must be like my master, no matter what situation I encounter, I must go on the path of medicine resolutely.

Thinking of this, An Ran looked up at the clock, the hands were already pointing to 10 o'clock, but remembering what Bai Yichen said during the day, "You can call him at any time", she still called the number Bai Yichen left behind.He waited nervously for the call to be connected. After hearing the gentle voice of the other party, he suddenly felt that the tension eased a lot, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up slightly: "Sorry, Brother Bai, excuse me Have you rested? I want to talk to you about what you mentioned today."

Ten minutes later, Bai Yichen appeared at the gate of An's house with a chill in his body, and was dragged into the house by An Ran who seemed to have been standing at the door waiting for a while.

In a blink of an eye, he was already sitting on the small bed in An Ran's room with a cup of hot tea in his hand. He looked at the child who was also holding a cup of tea and sat on the opposite chair with some amusement, looking at himself hesitantly.

"Are you still used to living alone?" Seeing An Ran's nervous look, Bai Yichen's heart softened a little. After all, he was a minor, so he couldn't treat him the way he used to treat those yamen.

"It's not bad." The child kicked his legs on the stool, holding the teacup like a little squirrel, very cute.

"I was there when that woman urged you to move today." Seeing that the child didn't answer, Bai Yichen continued to search for topics in frustration, "What are your future plans? If you don't want to move, you don't have to. I'll help you buy the house "The child has lived here with his master since he was a child, and now that his master has left and he is kicked out by the landlord, he must be very sad.

"No, thank you." An Ran raised her head and said seriously, "Aunt Gui didn't urge me to move, and this house was originally hers, so she should take it back." Even so, the child was still a little sad He lowered his head, "Besides, Master is gone, it doesn't make any sense for me to stay here, and it's time to go."

Bai Yichen's heart moved when he heard the words, but he asked nonchalantly, "Then what are your plans in the future? Is there any place you want to go?"

The child shook his head: "I just want to go out and have a look, but I don't know where to go." He looked directly into Bai Yichen's eyes with black and white cat eyes, "You said that your brother is the county magistrate of Quyang County, your elder brother Is it true that you came here from far away to ask Master for the prescription of herbal tea so that the people in Quyang County can live a better life?"

"Yes." Bai Yichen also looked directly into the child's eyes, and explained seriously, "Anlao's herbal tea is very effective. I want the prescription not only so that more people can cure their diseases, but more importantly, Cure the disease of 'poverty' in Quyang County." He explained earnestly, "Because of poverty, many children in Quyang County can't afford to go to school, adults can't afford to see a doctor, and generations can only repeat the fate of eating from the soil .I really hope to change this situation, at least let them pay the same hard work and get a little more return. This is not only for my brother's political achievements, but also for the tens of thousands of people in Quyang County to live better good."

"If you are poor, you will benefit yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Brother Bai, you are really a good person." An Ran turned the teacup in her hand, and praised Bai Yichen seriously: "Actually, the soothing tea is such a simple herbal tea. I did it myself. The herbal tea that Chang Hui took away years ago was made by me. I can write you the method of making it, and I can even give you some prescriptions that can improve and alleviate other diseases. They are all like soothing tea, very efficient."

"Really?!" Bai Yichen was overjoyed to confirm, and then felt that his questioning words were inappropriate, and quickly corrected, "Sorry, I didn't mean to doubt you, I'm just too happy. Don't worry, as compensation, I will Do your best to help you get the best benefit."

An Ran shook her head: "I don't want money, the money Master left is enough for me." He looked at Bai Yichen stubbornly and emphasized, "As long as you can do what you said before, I can give the prescription for free. gift to you."

"Why?" Bai Yichen looked deeply at the child in front of him, "Do you know how precious the prescription you gave is? Although there are many kinds of herbal teas on the market now, few are as effective as calming tea. If it weren't for the test results showing that it was really made of pure Chinese medicine, I would have suspected that it contained western medicine ingredients."

"How can Western medicine compare with traditional Chinese medicine?" the child said proudly, "Of course I know the value of the prescription. But as the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep, the more compensation I want, the less the tea farmers will get. Since If you want to help them, don't care about small profits."

What's more, the master told him about the various ways that officials in various dynasties exploited merchants and people. Even if his brother would not do that, there is no guarantee that other officials in Quyang County would not. "And I also hope that no other family will lose their children like my parents lost me because they don't have money."

Speaking of this, An Ran looked into Bai Yichen's eyes as if confirming, and asked again with some stubbornness: "Can you do what you said and let so many people live a good life?"
