Chapter 596: Current Situation in Tongxiang Village

Li Yi briefly considered Chen Ruqing's words and agreed. The road to Tongxiang Village is not so easy to walk, and during this period, people from Jinyuan Town often go to Tongxiang Village to help out, sending some food or meat, and the two places have always maintained contact.

Now Tongxiang Village's view of the outside world is not so extreme. With the help of the residents of Jinyuan Town, people from Tongxiang Village often come out to exchange some necessities of life. Because they have no salary at all, they usually use some game in the mountains to exchange for the necessary daily necessities, and there are also some very precious herbs in the mountains.

There are many rare and exotic things in the Shiwan Mountains, and there are many precious herbs that people in the town cannot get because they have no relevant experience. The villagers of Tongxiang Village have lived in the village for generations, so they can naturally find relevant things easily.

Among them, there are two most popular herbs, one is Polygonum multiflorum and the other is Panax notoginseng. Needless to say, the functions of these two herbs are said to be able to prolong life if the age is sufficient. However, this is just a legend. However, Polygonum multiflorum is a good thing that can replenish qi and blood and strengthen bones and muscles, especially the Polygonum multiflorum in the Shiwan Mountains. No one picks it all year round. Every time, the people in Tongxiang Village only pick a small part of it. This leads to the fact that the age of Polygonum multiflorum in the mountains is very sufficient, and there is no shortage of fine products from 80 to 150 years old.

In addition, Panax notoginseng is very common in the mountains. It can generally promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and treat some simple injuries. The villagers in Tongxiang Village cannot go to the hospital. They have always relied on the two old Chinese medicine doctors in the village. The two old Chinese medicine doctors often accept apprentices and keep the prescriptions. They have been self-sufficient for many years.

Fortunately, the children who grew up in the mountains are very hardy and strong. These are not a problem. Minor illnesses and disasters can be cured by taking some herbs.

The air in the mountains is fresh and there are no viruses. Children often exercise and run in the mountains and water, so their bones are very tough.

The old people in this place often say that children who grow up in the mountains are spiritual and blessed by God, so they can live a long life. In fact, this is exactly the case. Of course, it is not because of God's favor, but because the children are originally healthy physically and mentally, and it is not difficult to live a long life.

…

Li Yi and Chen Ruqing decided on the time to enter the mountain and decided to enter the mountain tomorrow morning so that they can come back before sunset at night. Although Xu Qingyao wanted to learn more about Tongxiang Village, staying overnight in the village would inevitably trouble the villagers. After Li Yi's persuasion, Xu Qingyao agreed to this plan.

Chen Ruqing cleaned up two houses and temporarily let Li Yi and Xu Qingnan stay, and then came to Li Yi's room alone.

Li Yi saw that Chen Ruqing's face was a little serious, and he knew that he must have something serious to say to him.

"Brother Chen, what's the matter?"

Chen Ruqing pulled a chair over, sat down, and whispered:

"Do you remember the two old Chinese doctors in Tongxiang Village?"

Li Yi nodded, frowned and said:

"The two old people are a couple, they are not young, they must be over 70 years old, right?"

Chen Ruqing nodded, sighed, and said helplessly:

"The two old people sent someone to bring us a message last time, asking us to help and find a few doctors to go to the village. They said that their condition was a little bad, after all, they were old, so they asked us to find two doctors to go..."

Li Yi immediately understood what Chen Ruqing meant.

To put it bluntly, these two old Chinese doctors are actually the apprentices of the barefoot doctor in the village. It happened many years ago. The first time they treated patients was when they were 17 or 18 years old. Now the youngest of the two is 71 years old. They have been working diligently for more than 50 years, which is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

But manpower is limited. During this period, the two old men felt that they were no longer suitable for curing diseases and saving lives. After all, they were too old. The children who could inherit the mantle in the town had not grown up yet. The only apprentice they accepted went into the mountains to find medicine a few years ago and never came back.

Everyone living in the village knows that people who have not returned after three days in the mountains are mostly in danger.

Later, the facts proved that this was the case. There are precious herbs in the Shiwan Mountains, and of course there are corresponding dangers. Many young and strong people went into the mountains and never came back. Either they encountered wild animals, or they were poisoned, or they inhaled miasma, or they fell from the mountain.

Once a person can be saved, he needs to see a doctor. To put it bluntly, these two old Chinese medicine practitioners don’t even have the qualifications to practice medicine, but the mountain village doesn’t value this. If the old man says you are hopeless, there is no need to complain.

Now the two old men are not strong enough, so they need a successor. Chen Ruqing has no way to solve this problem, because he has been in the town for many years and knows some situations. The old Chinese medicine practitioners in the town are unlikely to leave. Once they go in, it will take ten or eight years. They have families and businesses, so you can't force them to go, right?

So Chen Ruqing found Li Yi and explained the current situation.

Li Yi was also embarrassed, because he really didn't know any old Chinese medicine practitioners, and among the people he knew, it seemed that there was only one person working in the medical industry, Tan Zhenhua...

Thinking of this, Li Yi's eyes suddenly lit up!

That's right, it's Tan Zhenhua! Tan Zhenhua is the director of Jiangnan City Hospital. Isn't it easy to find a Chinese medicine doctor?

The only difficulty is how to negotiate the conditions. It's easy to find someone, but they may not be willing to come!

After all, Tongxiang Village is a remote place in a remote place. Frankly speaking, why would they leave a good hospital and come to such a small mountain village?

Li Yi is not a person who likes to play moral kidnapping, so he still plans to communicate with Tan Zhenhua first to understand the relevant situation.

"I have a friend who is the director of the hospital. Maybe he can help with this problem. I'll call him and ask!"

Chen Ruqing was relieved when he heard this, and then said:

"We have tried our best to help with the things in the village. The rest of these are powerless. It depends on you!"

Li Yi nodded, sent Chen Ruqing out of the door, and then came to the telephone booth outside the door.

The situation in the town could not be explained clearly for a while, so he could only briefly talk to Tan Zhenhua about the conditions.
