   I was stunned! It is said that this book is adapted from the personal experience of the author Wu Xudong and real events collected by some fellow practitioners. Do not imitate or learn from it at your own risk. I believe children in the Northeast have heard of Hu Huang Chang Python Hui. That is the Baojiaxian offered to every household! Read it carefully, there are also beautiful photos of the author blowing himself up! The article is not long, only 500 chapters, and I haven't read enough [sad]

   🧊 [I think it's reasonable for a village doctor to practice the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate] (Barefoot Doctor from Northeast China) They say that we have many pimples and strange diseases. My father was a master dancer, and my father was a pig butcher. In my generation, he became the only barefoot doctor in the village. The health center is just one room, with a shelf for Western medicine on the left and a cabinet for Chinese medicine on the right. In the middle hangs the old robe left by my grandfather. The villagers said I was unprofessional. Until that winter night when the mountains were covered with snow. ❄️ The first shot saved the old bachelor who was in trouble in the stable. He talked nonsense and was so powerful that five men couldn't hold him down. I opened his eyelids and saw a "little figure" smiling in his pupils. Without further ado, he took out the long needle from his bag and injected it into the acupuncture point of his thumb. He screamed strangely, and a stream of black air emerged from the top of his head, condensing into ice on the edge of the kang. The next day, he came to thank me with half a fan of pork on his shoulders: "Dr. Chen, I seem to have... Taken away Huang Pizi's godfather." 💉 The second injection cured the widow's aunt's "deficiency disease" that she had suffered for many years. She always said that her heart was empty and it was cold in the dog days of summer. I asked her to lie down and gently inserted a silver needle into the "ghost heart" of the Thirteen Ghost Points. Needletail trembled on its own for a full quarter of an hour. When the needle is lifted, a wisp of gray-white "cold air" like hair is brought out. She sat up and cried: "My heart... Feels warm." Later she found out that it was her child who had died in childbirth, and she couldn't bear to leave. 🌙 The most evil thing is the "frozen to death ghost upper body" caused by the twelfth lunar month last year. The second boy from Houchun went to the ice cave to fish, but when he came back he had a high fever and frost flowers on his skin. His father banged on my door all night, followed by a looming, dripping shadow. I lit up mugwort and injected seven needles in a row under the kerosene lamp. Needles are stuck on the "ghost road". When the last needle fell, all the ice skates outside the window broke. The water shadow knelt down, kowtowed to me three times, and then dispersed. The second boy woke up and said that in his dream there was a man wearing Qing Dynasty clothes who was nailed to the bottom of the river by seven golden nails. Now that the nails are gone, he can swim away. 🏮 They all asked me who I learned it from. I pointed to the yellowed "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" on the wall: "It's written in the book." They didn't believe it. It wasn't until a group of experts from the provincial capital discovered that I had used acupuncture to control "hysterical collective convulsions" that even the hospital couldn't detect, that they insisted on inviting me to the research institute. I squatted at the door of the health center, smacking the popsicle: "I'm not going. If I leave, who will look after the sick animals in the village? Who will call the children who are scared out of their wits?" "Besides -" I flicked the silver needle in my hand: "I am a northeastern village doctor, inheriting some ancestral skills, and knowing the mysterious acupuncture techniques. It is reasonable, right?" # Northeastern Barefoot Doctor # #FolkThinking #CountryGhosttalk #XuanhuJishi 🩺At eight o'clock every night, Barefoot Doctor opens a consultation on time. It treats all diseases, including... Those you think are unscientific.

   It is said that rivers and lakes are about human nature, but how many dangers and deceits are hidden in the real rivers and lakes? Money and power are all fleeting, and you can't help it once you get involved. The author uses personal experience to reveal the true face of the Northeast Jianghu. He even arranged the short play "The Heroes of the North City: The Wind Rises in the Ice City". It's more than addictive to follow the book and the drama!

   🏡 In these lean years, my family is the only "BUG". My mother has a portable supermarket, my father knows where treasures were hidden in previous lives, and I have an automatic farm. We originally wanted to make a fortune in silence, but we are always forced to "show off" our wealth. "Feeding pig chaff" to your neighbors is ten times better than saving grain for them. The oilcloth used to "wipe the pot" made all the children in the village cry. Until the disaster victims surrounded the village and the county magistrate came to the door, our cellar full of food could not be hidden after all... # Farm #space hoarding #accidentally became the savior
