The man picks medicine and encounters the grace of the snake, and the snake repays the deep grace and saves his life
In a small mountain village far away from the hustle and bustle, there lives a young man named Li Hao. Li Hao has been learning medical skills from the old doctors in the village since he was a child, and he is kind-hearted and has superb medical skills, and often goes to the mountains to collect medicine and treat diseases for the villagers.
On this day, Li Hao, as usual, carried a bamboo basket and a hoe on his back and embarked on the road to the mountains. The mountain road is rugged, the vegetation is lush, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow. Li Hao was admiring the beautiful scenery of the mountains while carefully searching for various herbs.
Just as he was concentrating on collecting the medicine, he suddenly heard a small groan coming from the grass. Li Hao's heart moved, put down the hoe in his hand, carefully pushed away the grass, and saw a stout snake curled up on the ground, drenched in blood, obviously seriously injured.
Seeing this, Li Hao couldn't help but feel a feeling of pity in his heart. He knew that snakes, despite their terrible appearance, were also creatures and had the pain of life. So, he crouched down and gently stroked the serpent's head to soothe its emotions. He then took out some herbs from the bamboo basket to stop bleeding and carefully treated the snake's wounds.
The big snake seemed to feel Li Hao's kindness, stopped struggling, and let him heal himself. After some hard work, Li Hao finally bandaged the wound of the big snake. He patted the serpent's head lightly and said, "You can rest here and leave after the wound is healed." ”
The big snake seemed to understand Li Hao's words, and a gleam of gratitude flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, Li Hao smiled slightly, turned around and continued to collect medicine.
As the days passed, Li Hao often came to visit the big snake, changed its dressing and fed it. The snake's injuries gradually improved, and he began to be able to move his body. Li Hao watched the big snake recover day by day, and he felt very relieved in his heart.
However, just as the serpent was about to be healed, a sudden disaster struck.
On this day, Li Hao was collecting medicine on the mountain, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps. When he looked up, he saw a group of thugs with knives and guns rushing towards him. Li Hao was shocked, and hurriedly put away the herbs and prepared to escape. However, the group of murderers had apparently spotted him and chased after him.
Li Hao tried his best to escape, but because the murderers were numerous, and they were all strong people, he was quickly caught up. The thugs surrounded him and smirked and asked him if he had any belongings hidden on him. Li Hao knew that if he handed over his belongings, he might not be able to escape death, so he gritted his teeth and resolutely refused.
When the murderers saw that Li Hao refused to give in, they were immediately furious and slashed at him with knives. Although Li Hao had learned some martial arts for self-defense, in the face of the siege of so many murderers, he was soon powerless, and he was stabbed a few times on his body, and blood flowed.
Just as he was about to die, a sudden gust of wind blew and dust flew up. When the wind stopped, the assailants were surprised to find a huge snake shadow appear in front of them. It was the big snake that had been rescued by Li Hao!
The serpent opened its bloody jaws, bared its sharp fangs, and let out a deafening roar at the murderers. The murderers were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and fled.
Seeing this, Li Hao was glad in his heart. He struggled to his feet, bowed deeply to the serpent, and said, "Thank you for saving your life!" ”
The big snake seemed to understand Li Hao's words, nodded slightly, and then turned around and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Since then, Li Hao has cherished life even more, worked harder to learn medical skills, and treated the villagers and saved people. And that big snake has also become a legend in the mouths of the villagers, and has been praised from generation to generation.
Since the big snake rescued Li Hao that day, he has become a legend in the mouths of the villagers. Everyone said that Li Hao was blessed by the snake because of his kindness, which is a clear proof that good will be rewarded and cause and effect cycle. And Li Hao himself often recalls the scene of that day, and his heart is full of gratitude and awe for the big snake.
As the days passed, Li Hao still went up the mountain every day to collect medicine to treat diseases and save people. However, the serpent never appeared again. Although Li Hao was a little lost in his heart, he also understood that the big snake was a creature in the mountains and forests after all, and it had its own life and place.
On this day, when Li Hao was treating a villager, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell. He held his body and checked his pulse, but found that his pulse was unusually weak, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison.
Li Hao was shocked in his heart, he knew that although his medical skills were high, the poisoning was extraordinary. What's more, as a healer, he is extremely careful in his daily life and has never come into contact with any poisonous substances. How this poison came in, even he couldn't tell.
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but feel a burst of despair. He knew that if there was no one to help him, he might die soon. However, in this remote mountain village, who can cure him of this poison?
Just when Li Hao was in despair, there was a sudden rush knock on the door. He struggled to get up and open the door, only to see a strange old man standing outside the door. The old man's hair was white, but his eyes were bright, and there was an indescribable majesty on his body.
When the old man saw Li Hao's pale face, he knew that he had been poisoned. He smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Xiaoyou's medical skills are superb and his kindness is commendable. Today, I came to help, I don't know if the little friend is willing to accept it? ”
When Li Hao heard this, his heart was excited. He hurriedly invited the old man into the house and told him everything about his poisoning. After hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "This poison is not trivial, and it needs to be solved with a strange medicine called 'ambergris'. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. He knew very well that 'ambergris' was a rare medicine in the world, and although he often collected medicine, he had never seen it.
However, the old man did not seem to be worried. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, little friend, I know where this 'ambergris' is hidden." All you need to do is come with me, and you can get this medicine. ”
When Li Hao heard this, his heart was suddenly full of hope. He hurriedly thanked the old man and went with him to look for 'ambergris'.
After a long journey, they finally came to a hidden cave. The old man told Li Hao that there was 'ambergris' hidden in this cave. However, the cave is guarded by ferocious beasts, and you need to be careful.
When Li Hao heard this, although he was a little scared in his heart, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk. He followed the old man and cautiously entered the cave.
The cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. Li Hao followed the old man closely, for fear of getting lost. They groped their way forward, and after some unknown time, they finally came to a spacious cavern.
I saw that in the center of the cave, there was a strange grass that exuded a faint fragrance, which was 'ambergris'! However, just as they were about to obtain the strange grass, a sudden gust of fishy wind blew, and a huge black shadow pounced out of the shadows!
Li Hao exclaimed in surprise, only to see a huge black bear opening its bloody mouth and rushing towards them. There was a moment of despair in his heart, but at this moment, a golden light suddenly shot in from outside the cave and shone on the black bear.
The black bear seemed to be hurt by the golden light, and howled in pain. It turned to flee, but was trapped by an invisible force and unable to move.
Li Hao took the opportunity to step forward and pick the 'ambergris'. When he looked back, he saw the old man standing at the entrance of the cave, holding a golden charm in his hand. It turned out that this old man was actually a master of Taoism, and he had been secretly guarding Li Hao, and he did not show up to help until this moment.
Li Hao was grateful, he hurriedly thanked the old man and brought the 'ambergris' back to the village. After some suffering, he finally took this miraculous medicine, and the poison in his body gradually dissipated.
After this catastrophe of life and death, Li Hao has a better understanding of the preciousness and kindness of life. He worked harder to learn medical skills and treat the villagers and save lives. And the person who attained the Tao also became a model and example in his heart.
As for the big snake that once saved him, although it never appeared again, Li Hao was always full of gratitude and respect for it in his heart. He knew that in this vast nature, every living creature has its own unique spirituality and wisdom. And being able to meet the big snake and get its help may be an arrangement of fate.
Since that day, after obtaining the "ambergris" to cure the poison, Li Hao's body has gradually recovered, and his gratitude to the mysterious old man is beyond words. However, the old man seemed to have evaporated from the world and never appeared again. Li Hao knew that this must be a master of the world who did not want to leave a name, and he could only keep this kindness in his heart.
Time flies, and months pass in the blink of an eye. On this day, Li Hao was collecting medicine in the mountains, and suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near. He looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards this side, led by a boy in a brocade dress.
As soon as Brother Gongzi saw Li Hao, he reined in the horse's head and asked in a loud voice, "Hey, are you the Li Hao who has excellent medical skills?" ”
Li Hao nodded, a little puzzled in his heart. He didn't know this boy, and he didn't know why he found him.
Seeing Li Hao nodding, Brother Gongzi jumped off the horse and said, "There is a distinguished guest in my house who is seriously ill, and he is helpless to ask for famous doctors. I heard that you are a skilled doctor, and I would like to invite you to come for treatment. ”
When Li Hao heard this, he hesitated a little. He knew very well that although his medical skills were high, the distinguished guests in the palace must be extraordinary, and if the diagnosis and treatment were not done properly, he was afraid that he would cause a big disaster.
However, Brother Gongzi seemed to see his concerns, took out a gold ingot from his arms, handed it to Li Hao, and said, "As long as you are willing to go for treatment, this ingot of gold is your medical money." If you can cure the distinguished guest, there is another reward. ”
Li Hao looked at the gold in front of him, and his heart was shaken. He knew that this ingot of gold was enough to make a good life for the people of the village for a few years. However, he knew better that medical skills were used to save people, not to make money.
So, he took a deep breath and said, "Childe, although I am a doctor, my medical skills are limited. Your guest is seriously ill, and I dare not easily diagnose and treat him. Please also ask the son to invite another master. ”
When Brother Gongzi heard this, his face suddenly sank. He was about to get angry, but suddenly saw a wriggling in the grass behind Li Hao, and a thick snake slowly crawled out.
When Brother Gongzi saw the big snake, he immediately turned pale with fright. He hurriedly took a few steps back and asked in a trembling voice, "What's this......?" What is this? ”
Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "This is the spirit snake I met in the mountains, it won't hurt people." Childe don't have to be afraid. ”
Although Brother Gongzi was scared in his heart, he didn't say much when he saw Li Hao so calm. He took back the gold in a foolish manner, turned and mounted his horse, and departed with the men.
Li Hao looked at the back of Brother Gongzi who was far away, and his heart was relaxed. He knew that although he had rejected the ingot of gold, he had stayed true to the original intention of the healer.
However, he did not expect that this refusal would bring him even greater misfortune.
A few days later, a group of vicious thugs suddenly broke into Li Hao's home and forcibly took him away. It turned out that after the son-in-law returned home, he told the distinguished guest about Li Hao's refusal to be diagnosed. The distinguished guest was furious and sent someone to arrest Li Hao to punish him.
Li Hao was taken to a luxurious mansion, and saw that the distinguished guest was lying on the bed, with a sallow face and a dying breath. As soon as the distinguished guest saw Li Hao, he shouted angrily: "You are so bold! Dare to refuse to treat this official! Come, take him down! ”
When the thugs heard this, they stepped forward to arrest Li Hao. However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly shone in from the window and shone on the distinguished guest. The distinguished guest suddenly felt a warm current rushing into his body, and the pain was reduced a lot.
He looked out the window in amazement and saw a large golden serpent perched in the treetops, its eyes shining with wisdom. The distinguished guest suddenly understood that this big snake was Li Hao's patron saint.
He hurriedly ordered the thugs to stand back, and said to Li Hao: "It turns out that you actually have a spirit snake to help, and this official is disrespectful." Please also ask the gentleman to ignore the past suspicions and treat the official. ”
Li Hao was relieved to see the change in the attitude of the distinguished guests. He stepped forward to diagnose and prescribe a prescription for your guest, and after some careful treatment, your condition was finally relieved.
The distinguished guest was very grateful to Li Hao, not only rewarded him, but also apologized to him and promised not to embarrass the villagers again. Li Hao also took the opportunity to put forward suggestions to the distinguished guest to improve the lives of the villagers, and the distinguished guest readily agreed.
Since then, Li Hao's reputation has become even more far-reaching, he is not only a superb doctor, but also a benevolent person with a heart for the world. And the golden snake has also become a legend in the mouths of the villagers, and has been praised from generation to generation.
At this point, the story has finally come to a successful end. Li Hao's kindness and medical skills not only saved his life, but also brought him more opportunities and respect. And the spirituality and wisdom of the big snake are also fully demonstrated in this legend. The story between them will forever be the most beautiful legend in this land.
