    Tie Heng and Zheng Kui were chatting animatedly here, while Wu Da on the side had already filled his stomach.  In a business like theirs, people usually eat quickly. Wu Da is the leader of the waiters and is very conscientious, so he stood up and wanted to go to the stable to look after the mules and horses.

    This table was a little crowded because there was an extra Tie Heng, and several people were sitting around it. As soon as Wu Da stood up, he accidentally bumped into You Meng, who was leaning on the edge of the table with Tie Heng. Tie Heng was tilting his head to talk to Zheng Kui on the right.  Speaking, he should not be able to see You Meng on the left side, but he seemed to be predicting the future. Just when Wu Dazhang had just touched You Meng and brought it down, Tie Heng had already reached out his left hand and fished it out.  He grabbed the handle of the knife and straightened it again.

    Wu Dazheng was about to bend down to catch the fallen long knife, but he didn't expect that Tie Heng would be one step ahead of him. His movements were fast and accurate, and Tie Heng never turned his head from the beginning to the end, or even said anything in his mouth.  Interrupted, everything seemed extremely natural and smooth.

    Wu Da was slightly dazed, and a gleam flashed in Zheng Kui's eyes.  As for the others, except for the tomboys Colgate and Wu Er, no one noticed the accident that happened just a moment ago.

    ¡°Brother, this man¡¯s skills are not weak!¡± Wu Er stood up and followed his eldest brother out of the cubicle. After walking some distance, he approached Wu Da and whispered.

    Wu Da did not speak, but nodded, with a hint of solemnity in his dull expression.

    Here, Tie Heng didn¡¯t take this episode seriously, and was chatting, drinking and eating. However, Zheng Kui and others were used to the speed of eating and ended the meal quickly.  Tie Heng was embarrassed to let others watch him eating and drinking alone, so he asked the waiter to clear away the cups and plates.

    "It doesn't matter, brother Zhuo, just keep eating your food. We rough people are always so anxious and angry. We are also like this when we eat, which makes you laugh."

    "How do you say this? I've disturbed you all, talked too much, and ate slowly. It's me who should be sorry." Tie Heng still asked the waiter to collect the leftovers and wine, and ordered a large pot of boiling water.  .  "I'm full too, and I'm about to make some tea to drink on the road."

    Zheng Kui felt a little strange when he saw him taking out a lot of herbs and utensils from the storage bag. Even Colgate also noticed it.

    "Brother Zhuo, are you making tea?" Zheng Kui has never seen tea parties held by wealthy families. He also knows that some people like to add various seasonings to tea to enrich the taste. However, no matter how exquisite the tea ceremony is, it seems that  Can't use so many herbs.

    "I am brewing a kind of herbal tea. I researched it on my own free time. Although it uses a lot of ingredients, it is actually very quick to make. Once prepared, it is the best way to relieve summer heat and quench thirst. If Brother Zheng has some  You can also try it if you are interested. I am sure you will like it." Tie Heng said, his hands were not idle as he moved skillfully and quickly, methodically placing more than a dozen kinds of herbs and teas that had been prepared in advance into a big stone one by one.  Boli.  Then use a small stone pestle to mash them and then grind them into a paste.

    "Uncle, this guy is weird. He obviously has good martial arts, but he has a good temper. He is bullied to the point of being bullied, but he can still smile. Now he is so particular about what kind of herbal tea he makes." Kantie  While Heng was immersed in his work, the tomboy Colgate whispered into Zheng Kui's ear.

    "This uncle can't see through it. It's even more complicated than expected." Zheng Kui replied in the same low voice.

    Colgate was startled, she did not expect Zheng Kui to say this, and it seemed that Zheng Kui had a special regard for this tall and thin young man from the beginning.

    Next to him, Tie Heng had finished his work. He poured the thick paste in the stone bowl into a large kettle filled with boiling water, closed the lid, and ignored it.

    "Is this good?" Colgate asked in surprise. Seeing Tie Heng taking out so many things, she thought there would be so many processes.

    "Yes, that's enough. You can drink the tea after it cools down. It tastes very good." Tie Heng smiled and thought that it seems to be quick and convenient to make now. That's because these herbs have already been prepared.  After processing and deployment, if you really have to start from scratch, you won't be able to finish it in an hour or two.

    "Well, it sure smells good!" Martial arts practitioners have keen senses and their sense of smell is much more sensitive than ordinary people. A light aroma gradually emerged from the kettle, which was immediately caught by Zheng Kui.  Colgate next to him also twitched his nose slightly, and his beautiful eyes suddenly widened.  She obviously didn't have high expectations for the mushy thing just now, but the fragrance at this time made her change her mind.

    "I didn't expect Brother Zhuo to have such skills. I will have to taste it later. The aroma is so tempting, and the taste of this tea must be extraordinary." Zheng Kui stared at the big kettle with an expression of great interest.

    "Brother Zheng, thank you for your praise." Tie Heng said modestly: "Brother, I am a greedy person, and I am also very particular about food. I have read several cookbooks by Lingchu before.??Notes, I tried to come up with several new dishes, but failed. As a result, by chance, I discovered that several herbs and some tea leaves will produce unexpected aroma and taste.  After some experiments, we came up with this kind of herbal tea, which can be drunk in summer. It is refreshing, refreshing, refreshing and thirst-quenching than sour plum soup.  "

    What Tie Heng said is true. He really figured out this herbal tea by himself in his spare time.  At first, in order to join Liu Zang's hobby, he collected a lot of recipes and notes from chefs, and also studied how to cook all kinds of strange ingredients. Over time, he became really passionate about this, and whenever he had free time, he would cook  He always makes some attempts, and he is also very interested in alchemy and improving various plants. There are also some similarities between them, which makes him gain a lot.  Just like the herbal tea he is brewing now, it was obtained by chance, and it has a somewhat unique taste.

    "Is it really as good as you say?" The aroma became stronger and stronger, and Xiao Zhuzhu also smelled it, so he couldn't help but ask him.

    A boy next to him curled his lips and said suspiciously: "It smells just average to me! You can't be bragging, right? If you just mash it into a pulp like this and then dip it into boiling water, how much better can the taste be?"

    "Haha, everyone has their own taste. If it tastes good, I will invite everyone to try it later and you will know." Tie Heng would not care about the disrespect of these boys. They looked like novices at first sight.  He still doesn¡¯t know much about the ways of the world, and the edges and corners of his body have not been worn away by running around in the sun and rain.  Tie Heng would not be serious with them and said casually with a smile.

    That boy is stubborn.  He opened his mouth to say something, but Colgate stopped him and asked Tie Heng first: "Mr. Zhuo, I saw that you just used a lot of medicinal materials and mixed them together. You don't have to worry about the conflict of medicinal properties.  Is it even toxic?"

    "Of course this was considered from the beginning." Faced with Colgate's question, Tie Heng calmly explained that the identity he now plays is that of a cultured and well-educated person.  He is usually gentle and soft-tempered, and seldom fights with others.

    "I also learned some alchemy techniques when I was studying magic. This naturally involves the pharmacology of various herbs. Miss, there is no need to worry about this." Tie Heng added.

    "Have you ever studied medicine?" Colgate saw that Tie Heng had strong martial arts skills, and heard him say that he had learned spells and could make elixirs, so she didn't believe it.  After all, given the social class she lives in, it is rare to come into contact with such a person, so naturally she feels a little unacceptable.  Then suspect that the other party is a liar.  It's because of ulterior motives.

    The group of boys on the side also had the same idea. Xiao Zhuzhu said to himself: "If you have such ability, why would you still come to sell medicinal materials? Besides, how old are you? You were born seven or eight years earlier than me."  How capable can he be? It seems that this guy, like Sanzi, is also a guy who likes to brag."

    ¡°I just know a little about medical science.¡± Tie Heng saw what they were thinking.  I sighed a little in my heart, knowing that these young people were just ordinary people.  My knowledge is limited, Maozhou is located in a remote place in the south.  It can't compare to the prosperous places in China like Fuzhou. These young people are like frogs in a well, looking at others with their own eyes. In addition, they are young and energetic and are not convinced by people of similar age, so they sneered at Tie Heng's words.  If in a place like Kunyuan Academy, all kinds of talents emerge in an endless stream and their horizons are broadened, naturally there will be no such doubts.

    Tie Heng said no more, just turned his eyes and smiled at Zheng Kui.

    "Zheng Kui is not like the stupid young people around him who express his inner thoughts on his face. Moreover, he has rich experience and a good eye for recognizing people. He can tell that Tie Heng should have this ability.

    "Looking at the way this young man behaves, he should have gone to a private school, and his family background is probably not bad, so he can develop such a versatile talent, but I don't know why he comes to do this for a living." Zheng Kui turned his thoughts and said  Wanting to lighten the mood.

    Unexpectedly, Colgate spoke first again.  "Mr. Zhuo, since you have learned medical skills, then help my uncle look after him. He has an old disease and it will be very difficult when it attacks."

    Zheng Kui was even more surprised than Tie Heng, and at the same time quite moved.  He had been suffering from an old illness in the past few days and had been hiding it from everyone. Unexpectedly, this girl had already seen it and kept it in mind. As an elder, it was gratifying to have such a filial niece.

    "No wonder Brother Zheng has some inconvenience in his legs." Tie Heng decided to show off his skills, otherwise he would be looked down upon by this tomboy with a pretty face, who would think that he was talking big words, which would inevitably make people angry.

    He did not show off, and under the astonished gazes of an old man and a young man, he straightforwardly stated the crux of Zheng Kui's old illness: "Brother Zheng was bitten on the leg by a powerful poisonous insect when he was young.  Have you been living and working in a humid place for years??

    "Ah, brother Zhuo, can you even see this?" Zheng Kui was greatly surprised. Surprised, he couldn't help but talk about it.  "What you said is absolutely correct. A certain family has been dealing with the barbarian natives in the wild mountains since they were ten years old, and trafficking in the special products there. The mountains there are rolling, and they are all dense virgin jungles, and the humidity is extremely high.  When I was twenty-four years old, I had a conflict with a mountain barbarian village and was besieged by them. I was accidentally bitten on both legs by a black-spotted giant spider driven by them. Although I was treated in time, I was able to save my legs.  My life and two legs are still there, but there are also hidden dangers, which have occurred from time to time over the decades, especially now that I am older and the pain is unbearable."

    ¡°Do you sometimes feel so numb that you lose consciousness and have no reaction even when pricked with a needle?¡± Tie Heng added with a smile.

    "Youthis" Zheng Kui suddenly hesitated.

    "Uncle!" Colgate was really anxious next to him.  She initially pushed against Tie Heng because she couldn't stand Tie Heng and also wanted to retaliate against Tie Heng's weird smile before.  But when Tie Heng revealed the root cause of Zheng Kui's old illness in two or three sentences, he knew that he had misunderstood him. At the same time, he also saw the hope of curing Zheng Kui's old illness.  My mood suddenly turned 180 degrees.  But Zheng Kui concealed his symptoms, so how could she not be anxious.

    "Fourth uncle. Why didn't you tell us?" The group of boys nearby also gathered around and shouted away.  Zheng Kui ranks fourth among several sworn brothers.  Therefore, most of these juniors call her "fourth uncle".

    Zheng Kui smiled bitterly. He had been hiding the onset of his old illness. On the one hand, it was because of his dignity as an elder, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid everyone worrying.  However, he deliberately concealed it just now, but it was out of instinct, fearing that his weakness would be exposed and known to outsiders, which would be detrimental to the entire caravan.

    "Brother Zheng, your symptoms are already very serious. During the treatment, the toxins were not completely removed and remained in the body. In addition, after working in a humid environment for many years, the moisture penetrated into the bones. The two combined together, and slowly  It erodes the function of the legs, especially the knees, and the residual poisonous moisture accumulates here. If my internal strength hadn't been improved, the situation would have been even more serious."

    "Mr. Zhuo, can you cure it?" Colgate grabbed Tie Heng's hand a little glumly and asked anxiously.

    "I don't dare to vouch for this. You have to give it a try before you know. After all, after all these years" Tie Heng said, gently twitching his arm, but Colgate held on tightly.  It seemed as if Tie Heng would run away as soon as he relaxed.

    Zheng Kui next to him couldn't stand it anymore and pretended to cough twice.  Only then did Colgate realize that her actions were inappropriate and quickly let go of her hands.  His face was also slightly red.  But this shyness passed in a blink of an eye, and she said repeatedly: "Mr. Zhuo, could you please treat my uncle? You can see the crux of my uncle's old illness at a glance. This medical skill must be exquisite. I  Just nowI am here to apologize to you first."

    The girl stood up as she spoke and wanted to give Tie Heng a big gift. Tie Heng hurriedly supported her.  "It's absolutely impossible. As long as it's within my power, I will do my best. Just don't worry, girl."

    As soon as he said these words, the group of boys around him all looked ashamed and uncomfortable. A few of the more honest ones imitated Colgate and said a few good words, while the others remained silent.

    "Brother Zhuo, this matter has causedBrother, I" Zheng Kui was a little overwhelmed by the development of the situation. He didn't know what to say for a while. After all, this was the biggest concern for him.  Hidden dangers could even involve his life and death. How could he calm down?

    "Brother Zheng, we'll talk about the rest later. Now let me see your legs first!" Tie Heng interrupted him with a smile.

    "Yes, uncle, let Mr. Zhuo take a look first. This stubborn disease has plagued you for many years and how much suffering it has caused you. The last time you took me to Shanman Village, I also had an attack on the way, and I slept all night.  No, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know, I just didn¡¯t say it.¡± At this moment, Colgate was no different from the family members of patients who saw hope. Regardless of Zheng Kui¡¯s obstruction, she knelt down and took out Zheng Kui¡¯s two trousers.  Flirted up.

    It was almost the end of autumn, but because of the hot weather, everyone was still wearing light summer clothes, and their trousers were also loose and loose. Colgate could easily roll up his trousers, and everyone could see clearly the knees of Zheng Kui's legs, and they all exclaimed.  .

    I saw that both knees were swollen and bulging, and the color of the skin was also very abnormal, showing a gray-black color. Looking at it, it felt full of lifelessness and stiffness, as if this part was not made of flesh and blood, but  Like a piece of rotten wood.

    The boys next to him looked at Tie Heng with more complicated eyes at this time than before. Before, Colgate admitted that Tie Heng¡¯s diagnosis was good, and they were still a little confused.I took it for granted and thought it was just a minor ailment. Now that I saw it, I realized how wrong I was.  At the same time, Tie Heng also became impressed.

    Xiao Zhuzhu, who was helping Colgate next to him, also had a different attitude: "Hey, my dear, all the doctors I've seen before have to look, smell and ask everything before they can judge the condition. This man is so good that he doesn't need to bother. He can tell with just a few glances."  The fourth uncle is not feeling well, and he can still tell that it is the root cause of the disease decades ago. The most famous doctor Mu in his hometown does not seem to have such abilities! But he But he is too young. Doctor Mu is already seventy.  How old is he? I don¡¯t know where he learned the skill of waiting"

    Xiao Zhuzhu¡¯s previous contempt has unknowingly turned into envy, yearning, and a little bit of newly born worship.

    But he didn¡¯t know that Tie Heng¡¯s medical skills were far from as advanced as he showed.  Gongsun Bian was good at alchemy and also proficient in medical skills. Tie Heng learned some from him in more than three years, and he also read a lot of medical books. In total, he could barely be considered a good doctor, but he wanted to  It was not enough to diagnose Zheng Kui's old illness based on his eyesight and experience alone.  In fact, he was able to interpret the identity of this "miraculous doctor" by relying on his ability to see into the void.

    Zheng Kui had previously invited him over to dine at the same table, and Tie Heng, who had always been cautious, used Peeping to investigate.  Among all the people, Zheng Kui has the deepest skill, almost reaching the level of the sixth level, but this level of cultivation cannot stop Tie Heng's ability to see into the void, and he can easily see through his details.  At that time, Tie Heng discovered that Zheng Kui's legs and knees were sick, and they were very serious. In a few years, these two legs would be completely disabled, and it might even cost his life.

    Later, Colgate turned the topic to Zheng Kui¡¯s old illness. Combining the medical theory he had learned, it was not difficult for Tie Heng to make an accurate diagnosis.

    At this time, Tie Heng came closer and carefully checked the condition of Zheng Kui's knees and legs, and asked some questions, such as how he felt during the attack, what kind of discomfort he usually had, and even what kind of internal skills Zheng Kui practiced.  They all asked in great detail.

    People like Zheng Kui have been out there selling goods all year round, fighting against beasts and monsters, fighting against the natural environment, and dealing with bandits and bandits. They are all cautious and suspicious, and they will not trust others easily, let alone  Reveal your roots.  Therefore, even though it is related to his own health, Zheng Kui's answers to Tie Heng's questions are still inaccurate.  But Colgate was picking up the pieces and filling in the gaps, shaking his foundation.  Zheng Kui smiled bitterly, knowing that she would be confused if she cared. Normally, she would not say so many words because of her shrewdness.

    Tie Heng naturally knew what Zheng Kui was thinking and understood his concerns, so he smiled and didn't say much.  He pondered for a moment, considering the most appropriate treatment and prescription.  (To be continued)
