Traveling through time and space: Medical skills travel the world

Chapter 149: Spiritual Enlightenment

"Fang'er, you're back!" Hearing the voice, Chen Fang looked up and saw her mother Wang walking towards her with a basket of fresh vegetables in her hand.

"Mom, I'm back!" Chen Fang walked forward with a smile, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

Wang stopped and looked at her daughter carefully. "How have you been in the city recently? Have you been wronged in any way?"

"No, Mom. The learning atmosphere in the city is very good, and I have made some friends." There was some confidence in her tone.

"Making friends? What kind of people are they? Are they those arrogant city people?" The corners of Wang's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a look of disdain.

"No, mother, they are very friendly and like-minded." Chen Fang clearly recalled the situation in the academy, with wisdom shining in her eyes. "I learned a lot of knowledge that can help the village, such as new agricultural technologies and new methods of weaving."

"What's the use of these? What if they don't work?" Wang frowned slightly, as if she was full of doubts about her daughter's ideal.

"Mom, you see, the rice harvest in our village is always poor. If we apply the field management methods we learned in the city, perhaps we can increase the yield and improve everyone's life." Chen Fang was eager to convey her beliefs.

"But does what you said really fit the situation in our area?" Wang was still worried and looked hesitant.

"I want to give it a try, Mom. We can experiment in our own fields first. If it succeeds, others will naturally follow suit." Chen Fang's voice was firm, with a fiery anticipation on her face.

Wang was silent for a moment, and became more worried. "If what you said fails, our family will lose a lot. Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you?"

"Mom, I'm not afraid. The road to knowledge is full of risks." Chen Fang's voice was clear and bright, like a spring in the morning light, which made people feel at ease.

"Well, since you are so confident, let's start with our own fields." Wang sighed helplessly, "But you have to be careful not to learn bad things from those city people."

"I will, Mom. I will seize this opportunity." Chen Fang secretly swore in her heart that she would not let her mother down.

As the days went by, Chen Fang tried new farming methods in her fields. She carefully observed every change in the fields, drew notes, and recorded countless experiences. Every evening, she would share the latest progress with her mother.

"Fang'er, will this work?" Wang was full of worry every time she asked.

"I believe that the power of knowledge lies not only in books, but also in practice." Chen Fang always remains optimistic.

In order to give the villagers hope, Chen Fang decided to invite them to visit the changes in her fields during the autumn harvest. She prepared some simple food and welcomed the villagers to come.

The autumn sun shines on the land, and the golden rice fields reflect the hope of a good harvest. Chen Fang stands straight on the ridge of the field where he has worked hard, and from afar, villagers come one after another.

“Everyone, please look at my fields and see how the harvest is this season,” she called out in an excited voice, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

The villagers gathered together and looked at each other, obviously surprised by her action. "What is she going to do?" a villager asked in a low voice.

"Fang'er, can the yield really be increased?" another old man asked doubtfully.

"Please take a look. If I can achieve results, I am willing to pass on my experience to everyone." Chen Fang was calm and smiled slightly. The sunlight gave her a mysterious aura.

"Is this feasible? We have never tried it." A villager hesitated.

"All success comes from trying. Failure is only a part of the road to success." Chen Fang looked at them firmly, with fearless determination in her tone.

So, under her leadership, the villagers began to participate in this new attempt. A month later, the results gradually emerged, and the abundant rice harvest was like pearls in the fields, and Chen Fang's concept was recognized.

"Mom, what are you busy with?" Chen Fang pushed open the door and saw Wang was busy tidying up the kitchen.

"I just came back from the fields and was going to make some soup. Are you hungry?" Wang smiled slightly, with a warm light in her eyes.

"I want to discuss something with you." Chen Fang looked serious, sitting at the table with a firm gaze, "I want to open a medical project in the village, combining the knowledge I learned in the city."

"Medical project?" Wang became more and more worried, tapping the wooden pestle in her hand, "Fang'er, most of the villagers' illnesses are caused by hardship in life. Can we cure their illnesses with knowledge?"

"Mom, you don't know. The medical concepts and application of herbal medicine in the city can greatly improve the health of our fellow villagers. I have learned a lot of effective prescriptions and treatments." Chen Fang said eagerly, her eyes shining.

"But Jifang's medicinal herbs are incomplete, and the older generation in our village have deep-rooted ideas. Can they accept new things?" Wang seemed hesitant.

"I will communicate with you with all my heart, mother. The villagers will see the hope of change." Chen Fang's expression became more determined. "Also, I want to start with simple diagnosis and treatment, and gradually guide everyone to accept the new concept."

Wang lowered her head in thought. After a moment, she raised her head and sighed, "Okay, since you are so determined, let's give it a try. But you have to be careful not to let gossip cause you trouble."

"Thank you, Mom! I will take this project seriously!" Chen Fang excitedly held her mother's hand and vowed silently in her heart.

So Chen Fang started to prepare. She first built a simple clinic on the open space at the entrance of the village, with a roof made of hay and surrounded by bamboo. She wanted to conduct initial diagnosis and consultation in this place to alleviate the villagers' concerns about seeing a doctor. The sign read "Free diagnosis and treatment, welcome."

One day, Chen Fang was busy in the clinic, when suddenly an old woman came in, leaning against the wall, looking dazed and pale. "Girl, I'm vomiting a lot..." Her voice was weak, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

"Don't worry, grandma. Please lie down and let me take a look." Chen Fang immediately stepped forward and said with concern.

"I thought it was just a minor illness, but I didn't expect it to get worse." A trace of regret flashed in the old woman's eyes.

"You may have food poisoning. Did you drink some unclean water?" Chen Fang asked calmly.

"My husband bought it from the market, so it might not have been washed clean." The old woman grinned, her expression revealing helplessness.

After careful questioning, Chen Fang prescribed several herbs for her and personally prepared them for her. The aroma of the herbs filled the air, and the old woman gradually regained some strength.

"Thank you, young lady. I'm so grateful to you! It's not easy for my old bones to live to this day." The old woman shed tears and held Chen Fang's hand gratefully. The warm touch warmed Chen Fang's heart.

As time went by, more and more villagers heard about Chen Fang's medical project and came to seek treatment. Some held their children, and some supported the elderly. Chen Fang was very busy, but every time she saw the villagers relieved their pain, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

One day, Chen Fang met Uncle Li outside the clinic. He was the oldest local doctor in the village, and his medicine box was always filled with herbal medicines he prepared himself. Uncle Li frowned slightly, walked up to Chen Fang, and said with disdain in his tone: "Little girl, can you cure people's diseases with this patchwork of medicines you put together?"

"Uncle Li, medicine is universal. I hope to help everyone with new methods. Your traditional experience is also valuable." Chen Fang said earnestly.

"Hmph, young people are reckless. Real medical skills require years of accumulation!" Uncle Li responded coldly and turned around to leave.

"Uncle Li, why don't we try to combine traditional and modern methods to help our fellow villagers together?" Chen Fang was unwilling to be outdone, and his voice revealed persistence.

Uncle Li stopped and looked back at her, his eyes revealing a bit of inquiry, "If you can cure my neighbor's chronic cough, I would like to see your method."

"Okay, I'll come and see it with you tomorrow." Chen Fang nodded confidently.

After a few days of hard work, Chen Fang's medical project gradually attracted the attention of the villagers. By combining tradition with modernity, it slowly changed their views on medicine and their yearning for health. During each diagnosis and treatment process, she always patiently answered questions and helped everyone understand the necessary health care knowledge.

As Chen Fang persisted, Grandpa Li gradually let go of his prejudices and began to discuss cases and share experiences with her. Together, the two of them gradually became the medical pillars of the village.

"I used to think you were a kid with no real skills, but I didn't expect you to be so good." Uncle Li admired Chen Fang from the bottom of his heart, and there was no more contempt in his words.

"Thank you, Uncle Li. I have also learned valuable experience from you." Chen Fang responded with a smile, feeling extremely gratified.
