Chapter 1292 Extra Li Wang
At the age of forty, Li Wang was already the head of the Imperial Medical Service and was in his prime.
If nothing unexpected happens, he still has 20 to 30 years before retirement. He has a bright future ahead of him and his promising future is just beginning.
Although the rank of this official position is not high, its role is great.
People who eat grains and cereals will inevitably get sick. Anyone who is sick must see a doctor. He has been studying hard over the years. In his early years, he traveled around all year round as a traveling doctor for ten years, and he gained a lot in these ten years.
Its reputation spreads throughout the country.
At the age of fifty, Li Wang had been the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau for ten years. During these ten years, not only had his medical skills become more sophisticated, but he had also developed the Imperial Medical Bureau. During these ten years, new talents continued to come to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and each of them was talented. In time, they would surely become extraordinary in medical skills.
He also found a successor for the Imperial Medical Service and accepted him as his apprentice. His medical skills over the years have been recognized by everyone.
Therefore, when he was fifty years old, he asked for his resignation from the emperor, saying that he wanted to travel around. He had stayed in the palace for ten years and had not seen that many diseases after all, so he wanted to go to different places to treat difficult and complicated diseases.
The emperor readily agreed.
Li Wang left the Imperial Hospital where he had worked for ten years, and soon left the capital with his luggage and entourage.
Looking back at the gate of the capital, he couldn't help but think of how he embarked on this journey when he was a child, and his thoughts began to drift away.
……
When Li Wang was picked up by Zhou Guo, he was older than Li Lai. Perhaps because the disaster was too shocking, he had no impression of it like Li Lai.
At such a young age, he always remembered the scene of his mother lying there. No matter how he called her, she would not respond. Her face began to turn black and purple, and her body began to stink. He didn't know what to do in the future or where to go.
At this moment, Zhou Guo fell from the sky and took him away.
For Li Wang at that time, Zhou Guo's appearance was like a ray of light that pulled him out of the darkness.
He and Li Lai became members of the Zhou family, sharing the same surname as the Li family.
At the beginning, he couldn't let go and didn't know how to talk to the Zhou family, which made Li Lai also timid.
Later, slowly, he began to speak.
The Zhou family was really well off, and all the children could go to school. Even though he didn't know what it meant to be able to study and go to school at that time, he knew it was not an easy thing.
Because in the whole village, only their children can go to school, or even all the boys in the family can go to school.
He went in and out all day, doing work, and lived a dull life.
Until one day, an old man with a white beard came to the house. His amazing medical skills saved Zhou's uncle who was about to die. Li Wang was filled with admiration and yearning for him.
He couldn't help but think of his mother who had become a blur in his memory. If he had such ability, or met such a powerful person, wouldn't he have to die?
And there is Li Lai’s biological mother, so so many people’s mothers and children can survive.
He wants to learn!
Li Wang has found his life direction since then. He doesn't want to be like his brothers and sisters, learning all sorts of nonsense in school. He thinks it is useless. It is better to learn some real skills so that at least he can save people.
But how can I learn medical skills from an old doctor?
The first person he thought of was Zhou Guo, his extremely capable sister. It seemed like nothing could be a problem in front of her. She could find a solution with just a glance.
He thought about it for several days and finally found her and told her his idea. He was a little nervous when he said it. After all, he felt that this was really not sensible. The old doctor had just saved his uncle and was very capable and respected. How come he was noticed by the boy in the family and wanted to study medicine with him after just one visit?
It causes trouble for others.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Guo did not blame her, but only asked him twice whether he had really thought it through. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Once you choose this line of work, there is no turning back.
He nodded firmly. No matter what, he wanted to study medicine and save lives.
My sister is really amazing. She was so persistent that she finally got the old doctor to take him away. Although he didn't accept him as an apprentice, having him as a grand-disciple was also good, and he wasn't picky.
He left home and followed the old doctor to the border.
It was really cold at the border, much colder than Cangshan Village. Even though he wore cotton clothes and cotton shoes, he couldn't stand the cold. His hands and feet were numb all day long, and soon he got frostbite, which later rotted.
The master asked him several times whether he regretted it and whether he wanted to go back.
Li Wangdu shook his head firmly. Although the little guy didn't have any medical skills, he could still help out and pass things around.
He will slowly learn medical skills, learn everything little by little, and finally be able to treat the wounded like his senior brothers.
Seeing that he was so young, yet still so determined to study medicine, his master finally decided to accept him. "At such a young age, with such determination, even if he doesn't have much talent, he will achieve something."
Li Wang was very happy. This proved that he had stepped into the door of medical study. As long as he worked hard, he would definitely succeed.
From then on, he worked harder than anyone else, without a single day of rest, 365 days a year. Even though Zhou Dacang was in the army, he never went to see him. One reason was that he was too busy, and the other was that he didn't want others to look down on him, fearing that they would say he was able to get in through the back door.
It was his first time on the front lines, and he had fully prepared himself mentally. His master and senior brothers had told him countless times about the scenes on the front lines: broken arms and limbs were everywhere, and there were even people whose stomachs had burst open and their intestines were spilling out...
Even after making such preparations, Li Wang, who was on the battlefield for the first time, couldn't help but vomit when he saw the wounded soldiers who had just been carried off the battlefield.
He saw the white thing on his head...
This time he even vomited up the food he had eaten the previous night. As soon as he entered the camp, he subconsciously wanted to vomit. But even though he vomited out bile, he still didn't give up. He entered the camp again and again. After seeing it so many times, he got used to it.
As soon as he could enter the camp and stop vomiting, he could help. At first, he could only assist from the side. Later, there were not enough people. Seeing their pitiful cries, he began to try to treat some minor wounds.
The master nodded secretly while watching from the side. He was quite nimble and could endure hardships. As long as he could withstand such an impact, he would have the opportunity to join the doctor's camp.
After getting the hang of it, Li Wang made rapid progress.
In just one year, he was able to treat wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs without any trembling of eyes or hands, and was as skillful as his fellow brothers.
From then on, Li Wang worked even harder. In addition to treating the wounded, he also carried medicinal herbs and read pulse cases, and learned from his master. He even squeezed out time to eat, let alone other things.
As the days passed, the little boy gradually grew into a teenager, and his medical skills also made a qualitative leap.
……
The first time he returned home after many years away was many years later. By that time, the Xu family had already firmly established its power, the world was stable, and there were no more wounded soldiers, so he had time to go home.
Looking at the surprised expressions of his family members and listening to their complaints, Li Wang's eyes gradually became moist. He didn't expect that after so many years away from home, they still remembered him and didn't feel estranged at all.
Later, his family found him a wife and he had children. By this time, he had made some progress in medical skills.
He spent half a year traveling outside and half a year working in a medical clinic in the capital. When he was thirty years old, it was natural for him to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau, and he stayed there for twenty years!
Fifty-year-old Li Wang lowered the curtain, waved his hand, and the carriage left the capital.
Fifty years old is still young. If he lives to the same age as the old man, he can live another thirty years, which is longer than the years he spent in the Imperial Hospital.
The future is long!
