In Wang Ping'an's handkerchief, what was wrapped inside wasn't any medicinal herbs, but a small pile of sawdust, the wood shavings left behind by the carpenters in Talin when they were working on wood!

  Wang Pingan pointed to the end of the saw and laughed: "How is this not medicine? Not only is it medicine, but also a delicious medicine."

  The guests all shook their heads, can sawdust also be medicine? Unheard of, unseen!

  Huì Dé touched his bald head and suddenly said, "I understand now, this is indeed a precious medicine!" He said to the incense guests, "Everyone, my temple is about to make a batch of Buddha statues recently. The wood used is all sandalwood, which is very valuable. If it's not such good wood, it can't show the sincerity of serving the Buddha in the temple!"

  The guests nodded in agreement, this statement is quite right, other things can be sloppy, but the matter of serving Buddha must not be sloppy at all. They were all good men and believing women, so they naturally supported such a thing very much.

  Huì Dé looked at Wáng Píng ān and said, "Sandalwood has the effect of regulating qi and relieving stomach discomfort, while fresh ginger can warm the middle and dispel cold. The combination of the two is ingenious and has endless uses, which just so happens to cure the illness of Aiyidin Shizhu. I wonder if this humble monk's words are correct?"

  Wang Ping'an nodded and smiled: "Not bad, the host's analysis is completely correct. This prescription is cheap but effective, it was originally a folk remedy used by poor people, I didn't expect that today it would also be effective on a rich person. Ah, Aixin, the medicine you used, did it come from the temple or was it used to carve Buddha statues? It has a great relationship with the Buddha, you won't ask for money for incense oil again, will you?"

  Aiyin's face turned red and her ears were burning, she shook her head repeatedly and said that if it wasn't for the Buddha, she would have been finished. And she also wanted to offer more incense money to thank the Buddha! The pilgrims burst into laughter, saying that they should thank the Buddha, but even more so, they should thank this little doctor in front of them.

  Aiydin was grateful in his heart and naturally promised repeatedly that he would visit Wang Ping'an's house to thank him for his medical kindness.

  At this time, an old man squeezed in, saluted Wang Ping'an and said: "Little divine doctor, please help me out, take a look at my illness. My family is poor and can't afford to see a doctor. Can you prescribe a cheap prescription for me? I beg of you!" The old man who spoke was the one who had asked Wang Ping'an if he could diagnose illnesses earlier, with his back hunched over.

  Wang Ping'an hurriedly stood up and returned the courtesy. Although the other party had something to ask of him, he still felt a bit embarrassed that someone older than himself was showing him respect. He asked: "Is there anything uncomfortable about your life? Tell me about it!"

  "This old man pointed to his own ribs and said: "I have pain here, like being pricked by a needle. Especially at night, the pain gets even worse, so bad that I can't sleep. Because I don't have money for medical treatment, I've been dragging it out, but now it's getting more and more serious."

  Wang Ping An nodded and asked the old man to sit down, then took his pulse. After a moment, he said: "Sir, your pulse is slow and stagnant, this is a symptom of blood stasis, you've been injured before, right?"

  The old man was both shocked and delighted, this little divine doctor is really formidable, just taking his pulse for a moment, he could tell that he had been injured before. He nodded and said: "That's right, I make a living by chopping firewood, every day I have to carry a big bundle of firewood on my back. One time I accidentally fell down, my ribs hit the stone, at the time I felt nothing serious, but since then this place has been in constant pain, it hurts so much that I can't even straighten my waist!"

  Wang Ping'an asked him to stick out his tongue, saw the old man's tongue was dark purple and black, nodded, this is a characteristic of blood stasis after injury. He also reached out to gently press the old man's ribs, each time he pressed a place, he asked: "Does it hurt here? How about here, and here?"

  Every time he pressed a point, the old man would cry out in pain and say repeatedly: "It hurts here, it hurts there too! Oh dear, it seems to hurt everywhere!"

  Wang Ping let go of his hand, thought for a moment and said: "This illness is not some kind of difficult or complicated disease, nor is it a life-threatening one. Although it looks quite serious, in fact, as long as you take three or four doses of medicine, the illness will be cured, and it will recover faster than Ah Yi's!" As he spoke, he pointed at Aiyiting.

  The old man's originally worried face broke into a smile and he said: "Thank you, young divine doctor. Thank you, young divine doctor. I just don't know how much the medicine costs..."

  Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's not expensive, one bundle of firewood is enough for each dose." He asked the little monk to bring over paper and pen, and he wrote down the prescription: Chaihu two mace, Tianhuafen, Danggui, Chuanshanjia, Taoren, Honghua each three mace, wine-fried Dahuang and licorice each one mace.

  After finishing writing, he handed the prescription to the old man and said: "You can go find a kind-hearted pharmacy, deliver firewood to them every day, and consider it as the medicine fee. Then take this medicine once a day for four days, and the blood stasis between your ribs will disperse. After that, you just need to pay attention to nourishing your body."

  Seeing the old man's hesitant expression, he patted the old man's hand and said: "Don't worry, this medicine will definitely work. If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor at the pharmacy if this prescription is effective, and you'll know right away!"

  The old man hurriedly said: "Of course I trust you, little divine doctor, you are indeed a kind-hearted person!" He bowed again.

  Wang Ping'an wrote a prescription, and this time it was really chaotic. The pilgrims pushed forward with all their might, saying: "I also come from a poor family and look down on doctors. Little divine doctor, you'd better take a look at me too!"

  The hall was suddenly in an uproar, and the incense guests all shouted together. Huide happened to be standing in the middle of the circle, and with a slight carelessness, he was squeezed and fell to the ground, his body trampled by several feet. In extreme pain, he could only cry out: "Amitabha Buddha, good, good, patrons, watch your step..."

  Wang Pingan originally wanted to shout to everyone not to rush, line up and come one by one, but seeing the excited pilgrims, they all seemed to have seen a big bargain, wanting to run over to pick it up. He had no choice but to say: "Wait, everyone, I have something to say!"

  "Let the little divine doctor speak!" some of the perfume guests shouted.

  What's more, some even shouted directly: "After you're done talking, hurry up and let us see a doctor!"

  Yang was originally quite happy, after all, his son was respected by others. But now he found that everyone was more interested in not paying for medical treatment, and he became angry again, thinking to himself: "These guys really love taking advantage of others, they actually want to save money on medical expenses, why don't I let my son charge them money, see if they still dare to shout or squeeze!"

  Taking advantage is a common human nature, it has always been the case since ancient times. There's nothing worth getting angry about. However, with so many people coming to see him, Wang Ping'an can't handle it. Moreover, he observed that among the crowd of patients, except for the old man just now, none of them seemed to be suffering from serious illnesses, at most some minor ailments. In that case, there's no need for him to snatch the business from the medicine shop.

  "Wang Ping'an said loudly: 'A person must have principles, I am a man of principle, and I only see three patients at most in one day. Today, I saw the host's younger brother, Aiyiding, and this old gentleman, exactly three people, that's all for today. Please go to the city to find a doctor if you need further treatment!'"

  As he spoke, he stood up, helped Yang up with his left hand and pulled Ding Danru over with his right hand, desperately squeezing through the crowd, out of the Bao Ta Temple, jumped onto their own carriage, and let the coachman hurry up and whip the horse to escape.

  The fragrance guests are not willing to give up, and they chase after Wang Ping'an while persuading him not to be too principled. One day is not enough, three or four would be better! They run and stumble to catch up with the horse carriage, just like fans chasing after their idols in later generations!

  They ran for more than two miles before the horse carriage finally shook off the pursuers. The three people in the carriage looked at each other and burst out laughing. Yang said with a smile, "My son has really made a name for himself this time, and so many people are chasing after him."

  Wang Ping'an shook his head and sighed, "Becoming famous is a good thing, but from now on, our quiet days will be fewer. People seeking medical treatment will probably trample down our doorstep!"

  Ding Danruo said: "This is the young master's ability, if it were someone else, they wouldn't even dare to let their doorstep be trampled on!"
