The Cowherd twirled his beard and said cheerfully: "Haha, it's all my fault that I let the truth slip, and your quirky second wife saw through it."

Chen Bing was extremely happy. On that day in the county town, Chen Bing still has no idea why the man suddenly collapsed. She could vaguely feel that someone secretly saved her, but she didn't know how he did it. Now she knows that that day When the person who saved him turned out to be the Cowherd in front of him, he was even more excited and said anxiously: "Cowherd, tell me quickly, why did you save me that day?"

The Cowherd said: "That day I went to the county town to deliver some medicinal materials that I concocted to the pharmacy. It was a coincidence that just when I was about to go back, I glanced at you holding Li Yunniang's hand and a girl in the alley. The man said something, and I was curious about what you two were doing, so I jumped up to the roof to take a good look."

Chen Bing interrupted: "Ah, Cowherd, you mean the roof you jumped on? Then you know martial arts?"

But the Cowherd said: "Er Niang, please listen to what I have to say first. After I jumped on the roof, I saw you bit the man and told Li Yun Niang to run away. I thought you two were touching each other. He was a human trafficker. I wanted to show up to rescue him, but then I thought that since you were holding up a stick all by yourself and letting Yun Niang run behind you first, I became interested and wanted to see what you could do to deal with that man."

The Cowherd looked at Chen Bing happily and continued: "Hey, I was very disappointed with the result. After seeing the two of you fighting for a while, I saw that you were probably no match for that person. As expected. As expected, I saw that man grabbing your stick with one hand and stabbing you straight in the chest with a short knife in the other hand. I thought bad, if this stabbed me, my second mother would have died. At this lightning moment, , which made me think too much. I happened to hold a copper coin in my hand at that time, so I used my finger to pop out the copper coin at the Shenshu point on the man's waist. I secretly shouted in my heart: 'Here!', and the man responded. You fell down. You were stunned for a moment. I was worried that you had been stabbed by that person. I wanted to show up to see your injuries, but when I saw you come to your senses and pull Yun Niang and run out of the alley, I was sure that you were not injured. , and then returned to the village with peace of mind."

Although Chen Bing sighed, his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Niu Langzhong, and he thanked him: "Nu Langzhong, I don't know how to thank you. You were the one who saved me from the Lord of Hell after jumping into the lake. I pulled my hand back, and it was you who saved me from the man's fatal knife in the county town. You have saved me twice in just a few months, and I don't know how to repay you."

The cowherd said with a smile: "Haha, I only saved you. If you can learn medical skills from me, you can save more people in the future. Haha, no matter how you look at this deal, I, the old cow, will not suffer any loss." .Haha, if you want to repay me, the best way to repay me is if you master this medical skill."

Chen Bing was moved and said: "Cowherd, you taught me this acupuncture technique, are you planning to teach me martial arts?"

Niu Langzhong nodded, but then shook his head and said: "It's true to teach you the acupoint technique, but it is not martial arts. This acupoint technique is mainly used to treat diseases and save people. In addition, it also has the ability to protect yourself. The so-called silver needle The evil disease can be eliminated in your hand, and it can be as easy as an orchid on your finger. Think about it, if you had already recognized the acupuncture points and knew how to tap them, would you have almost died under the knife?"

Chen Bing was startled and said: "But my stature and strength are far different from that person, how can I get close enough to touch his acupuncture points?"

The Cowherd smiled and shook his head without saying a word.

Chen Bing suddenly realized, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "Oh, you see how stupid I am. I have a stick in my hand. As long as I know the location of the acupuncture point, I can tap his acupuncture point lightly with the tip of the stick."

Already."

The Cowherd said: "Er Niang is indeed a smart person. But you are wrong. A gentle tap is of no use. Acupuncture requires technique. If you master the technique and use a stick to turn your hand, you can also tap him.

Okay, now I will teach you my unique orchid acupuncture technique."

Niu Langzhong spent more than an hour teaching the formula to Chen Bing. Although Chen Bing had many things that she didn't understand, she had an excellent memory. After reciting the formula with Niu Langzhong several times, she knew the formula by heart.

After finishing, he told what he had realized and felt, and also asked a lot of things he didn't understand. Niu Langzhong had been with Chen Bing for more than a month, and knew that she had an excellent understanding, so it was not surprising that she answered them one by one.

Answered. Niu Langzhong spent more than an hour teaching Chen Bing the orchid acupuncture technique. This technique is different from other acupoint techniques. When applying acupuncture to save people, it should be light and elegant. It is necessary to identify the acupoints accurately.

You also need to have a steady hand, and you have to be as graceful as a fairy. When you take action to protect yourself, you need to be unexpected and elegant. As the saying goes, if the orchid is born in spring and summer, how green is the green, this technique is especially suitable for women.

After the Cowherd taught Chen Bing all the formulas and techniques, he explained the key points one by one. Looking at the sky, which was already getting late, he said: "Er Niang, try using a silver needle to prick my Yunmen, Zhongfu, Tian

Xi, Tianchi and Qihu points. Remember, you must apply the acupuncture according to the essentials and techniques I explained."

Chen Bing held the silver needle and recited the formula silently in his heart. Following the technique taught by Niulangzhong before, his five fingers flew back and forth between the acupuncture points of Niulangzhong. His body moved with it, and Pingting was graceful. The last silver needle pricked

After entering the Qihu point, Chen Bing tapped his left foot lightly, jumped back slightly, and his white shirt moved slightly, as graceful as an immortal.

The Cowherd clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Er Niang is so accurate in identifying acupoints and applying the needles so steadily that even when I first learned it, I can't match it."

Chen Bing felt quite proud, but he was also worried about what impact the five needles would have on Niu Langzhong. He was worried and asked: "Niu Langzhong, will these five silver needles prick your acupuncture points without any impact?"

The Cowherd shook his head with a smile, took off the five silver needles on his body, and said: "Er Niang, I'm going to punch you right now, so you can touch my giant bones with your orchid hands again, ride the wind, Qu Yuan

, Tianzong and Jianzhen points." As soon as Niu Langzhong finished speaking, he formed a fist with his right hand and hit Chen Bing's door.

Chen Bing didn't expect Niu Langzhong to attack directly. She didn't know how to dodge, so she had to turn sideways to let the punch pass. However, she was panicked. The orchid hand couldn't be used in place, and her body shape lost its gracefulness.

Embarrassing. Only the Quyuan and Jianzhen points in Niulang's body were touched.

Chen Bing was annoyed that he was in a hurry, but Niu Langzhong said cheerfully: "You can touch two of the five acupuncture points, which is good for the second mother. Don't be too upset and blame yourself. The reason why I don't let you face the fake

When people practice, the main thing is that the dummy doesn't move, it's just a dead thing. It's easy for you to hit its acupoints. But it's different for people. It can move at any time and will not let you succeed easily. There is

There are a lot of variables.”

Chen Bing nodded and said: "That's what the Cowherd said. You asked me to caress the Jugu, Chengfeng, Quyuan, Tianzong and Jianzhen acupoints. At that time, I only had those five acupoints in my mind. When your punch came,

At that time, I was very panicked and didn't know how to respond. Because only by dodging the punch could I touch those five acupuncture points. In fact, I didn't have to dodge at all. There are many acupuncture points on your hands, and I only had to touch your Yang Gu.

Any one of the three acupoints, Yangchi and Yangxi, can make your arm sore and numb and unable to move. When you explained before, you said that the orchid acupuncture point is about surprise when it comes to self-protection. Now that I think about it, this

Surprise should be a sign of anticipating the enemy's opportunity and adapting to circumstances."

The Cowherd clapped his hands and laughed, sighing: "There are a lot of smart people in this world, but people as talented as you, Erniang, are very rare. Yes, the reason why I said that my five acupuncture points are to disturb

Your mind makes you make wrong judgments. Hey, it would be great if Awan back then could have half the talent you have." Niu Langzhong seemed to be thinking about the past, looking out the window at the herbs drying in the yard.

, somewhat stunned.

Chen Bing opened his dark and bright eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and with a slight smile on his face, he asked curiously in a low voice: "Among the cowherds, who is Awan? Is he a boy or a girl? Is he your former apprentice?"

?Where did she go? Why wasn’t she with you? "

"Awan is my teacher..." Niu Langzhong seemed to wake up with a start, and said hurriedly with a straight face: "You must know what these are, okay, okay, it's getting late, you should go back, don't

I've made your father and mother worried." After saying that, he actually issued an eviction order.

Chen Bing knew that he did not mean any harm. Seeing that there was still some time left in the sky, he smiled and said: "Cowherd, let me heat up the pancakes in the pot for you first, and then prepare a side dish for you to eat."

After that, regardless of the objections of the Cowherd, he cut a piece of dried fish that was drying in the yard, poured some oil from the can of soy sauce he brought today into the pot, and simply fried it with the dried fish and wild vegetables.

Chen Bing brought the fried vegetables and hot pancakes to the table. The Cowherd ate a piece of fish and praised: "My second mother is so good at her craftsmanship. How come you want to cook for me?"

Chen Bing said: "I have been studying medicine with you for a long time, and I have seen that what you eat on weekdays is not cooking cakes or cooking cakes, not even vegetable soup and black beans. You only dried the fish I sent and hung it in the yard untouched.

But, how can you bear it if you keep eating like this? So today I specially brought a can of soy sauce and some wild vegetables. Although they are ordinary things from the countryside, I still want you to eat some. Okay.

, Cowherd, please eat slowly, I will go back first and come back to learn medical skills from you tomorrow."

Chen Bing has a lively and smart temperament, and the interaction between the two of them when Cowherd taught her medical skills was very interesting. He did not feel bored at all, and he even looked forward to the teaching activities with her the next day. Xu

It was today that touched the deepest past in Niu Langzhong's heart. The setting sun shone slantly on Niu Langzhong through the window, but the elongated shadow made him appear extremely lonely. He sifted out a bowl of wine from the wine jar in the corner and took a sip.

, murmured to himself: "Awan, where are you now, I really miss you..."

After receiving the 2,000 yuan and the key to the old house from Chen Tingyao, Chen Bing was very happy. She didn't know how Chen Tingyao got the key from her father, but she thought it took a lot of effort. And Chen Bing wanted to achieve it as soon as possible.

What I was thinking, I couldn't wait to go to the east end of the village to find Fang Mengshan.

Fang Mengshan's home is next to Zhang Liulang's home. His home is a rare brick and wood house in the village. The red vermilion door is quite impressive. However, the yard is surrounded by a wooden fence, which looks very nondescript. The yard is empty, what?

There were none, and the room was even more messy, damp, and very uncomfortable.

Chen Bing sat in the house, smiled and said to Fang Mengshan: "Brother Fang, let me get straight to the point. On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, you said you could buy sulfur and saltpeter. I came here today just for these two things.

"Obviously Chen Bing doesn't care about the bad environment around him.

Fang Mengshan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "First of all, I'm sorry. There is no fire in the house today, and there is no hot tea to serve. I hope you will take care of me. You said that sulfur and saltpeter, yes, I can indeed buy them.

Especially the price of this saltpeter is cheaper than that from the drug store, and the quality is much better than that from the drug store. Just Erniang, are these two things you want really used for making elixirs?"
