Zhiruo, a young girl who was plowing and weaving in the green ridge, unexpectedly found medical notes handed down from her ancestors, and from then on formed a contract with the herbal stars.
When she was grinding indigo with her hands stained with rice mud, Gu Yan'an, a down-and-out doctor who came to avoid disaster, used half a volume of broken pages of medical books to plant the skills of Qi Huang in the capital into the soil of the countryside.
He taught her to identify the "nine-section calamus" in ancient prescriptions, and she showed him the "blood-activating pill" in the fields.
Their clothes touched each other while spreading medicine by the stream, and the shadows of candles overlapped when they were reading under the lamp. When the plague swept through the village, the two used silver needles as shuttles and medicinal fragrance as threads to weave the tapestry of rejuvenation in the warp and weft of rice and mugwort.
This is not a deliberate practice, but a gift from the land and medical skills - when she healed the rickets of her neighbors, she also grew her own green growth rings into tough orchid grass on the shores of Tingzhou.
