I practiced medicine in ancient times

In October of the 25th year of Rui'an, in Lingshan Prefecture, Chuanshan County, Qingshui Town, in a room in the backyard of Huichun Clinic.

At this time, it was three quarters past midnight. Inside the side room, ten girls aged eleven or twelve were lying quietly on ten large bunk beds.

These girls are all servants in the Rejuvenation Clinic.

As the name suggests, chores are to serve tea, chop wood, boil water, wash clothes and cook, and they are always on call. In the rejuvenation clinic, these girls not only have to complete the daily chores of the clinic, but also take care of the patients, doing the dirtiest, most tiring and hardest work.

These girls came from different places. Among the ten, half of them sold themselves to the clinic, and the rest were orphans adopted by the clinic since childhood.

They are busy from morning to night every day, and only when it is late at night and everyone is asleep can they take a short rest in this simple room.

However, despite the hardships in life, these girls have not lost hope.

They all have a common dream in their hearts, which is to become a formal apprentice, disciple or even a master in a clinic one day, master medical skills, cure diseases and save lives, and regain their freedom.

Among this group of girls, there is one named Xu Qingyi. Although she is young, she is the most hardworking.

But half a month ago, Xu Qingyi caught a cold and did not survive. His inner soul was replaced by a modern Chinese medicine practitioner, Xu Qingyi.

Xu Qingyi only remembered that he was passing by the downstairs of the residential area and was hit by something. Then he came to this strange and memoryless ancient time, and his soul was possessed by the body of eleven-year-old Xu Qingyi.

She was hit by objects thrown from high altitude and won the prize and traveled through time.

In modern times, Xu Qingyi comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Her parents are both chief Chinese medicine practitioners in a Class-A tertiary Chinese medicine hospital. One specializes in gynecology and the other in orthopedics. Her grandparents are senior pharmacists, and her grandfather and grandmother are experts in surgery and dermatology respectively.

Xu Qingyi is 34 years old and unmarried. She has just been promoted to deputy chief general practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine in the hospital.

Although Xu Qingyi is young, she has been exposed to medicine since she was a child. When she was three years old, she began to come into contact with various Chinese medicinal materials and medical books. Her parents, grandparents, and grandparents were all her enlightenment teachers.

As time went by, her understanding of Chinese medicine became deeper and deeper, and she gradually showed extraordinary talents.

When she was 20 years old, Xu Qingyi had already started her internship at a Grade A Chinese medicine hospital and has been practicing medicine for 12 years.

With her talent and hard work, she became one of the best young Chinese medicine practitioners in the hospital in just a few years.

In addition to the four traditional Chinese medical diagnosis methods of looking, smelling, asking and palpating, she is also well-versed in facial diagnosis, tongue diagnosis and hand diagnosis. She can accurately diagnose the condition and prescribe the right medicine. By the time she was in the hospital, she had already accumulated a wave of patients.

"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it." Xu Qingyi, lying on the bed, murmured with a vicissitude and depth in his eyes that was inconsistent with his age.

Xu Qingyi and Xu Qingyi are just a name and a code name. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. From now on, you will be Xu Qingyi.

"Qingyi, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly." Bai Yan, a fellow villager, asked nervously and excitedly.

Because tomorrow is the twice-a-year pharmacy apprentice assessment.

Once promoted to an apprentice, not only can you learn more advanced medical theories from your master, but your future work will also be much easier and you will receive monthly wages.

His status is far beyond that of a menial servant.

"We will try our best to pass the apprenticeship assessment tomorrow. Go to bed early today so that you will have the energy to face the assessment tomorrow." Xu Qingyi saw Bai Yan's nervousness and excitement. She smiled at Bai Yan with relief, and then closed her eyes.

My thoughts were racing.

When the original body was seven years old, there was a drought in his hometown and his family was poor and had difficulty making a living.

She was the eldest sister in the family, and her other siblings were younger. At that time, the Huichun Clinic was recruiting for odd jobs.

Since there was no food to eat due to the disaster, the Rejuvenation Clinic offered food to buy out the servants and sell their bodies as a condition for recruiting servants. In order to survive, my grandmother and my parents decided to sell me to the Rejuvenation Clinic as a servant in exchange for food to survive the famine.

The original body's family survived by selling the food that the original body obtained from the Rejuvenation Clinic, and it has been four years now.

Fortunately, he traveled through time and space and possessed a person with a "matching professional background". Xu Qingyi was thinking about how he could gradually demonstrate his amazing "talent for medicine" in the future.

For now, let’s talk about being promoted to apprentice first. Servants are at the bottom of the social ladder no matter where they are. Not only do they do the hardest and most tiring work, but servants like them who sell their bodies to drugstores have no human rights at all.

Unless they are able to learn and practice medicine in the future, the pharmacy will return the contract to them.

In ancient times, doctors had high status and prestige. For ordinary people, being able to become a doctor was a symbol of honor and achievement.

Therefore, the pharmacy stipulated that only those who had completed their studies and were able to practice medicine independently would be considered to have sufficient medical skills and knowledge to practice medicine.

Under such circumstances, the pharmacy will return the indenture to them, and they will have to work for the pharmacy for at least ten years before they can regain their freedom.

On the one hand, such regulations are intended to protect the interests of the pharmacy, and on the other hand, to urge apprentices to study medical skills seriously and improve their medical skills.

On the contrary, it is difficult to study medicine and it is even more difficult for women.

The apprentice will learn and starve the master to death, and the master will always keep some skills back, plus some ancestral medical skills and secret recipes, which are passed down to males but not females, and there is also worldly prejudice and discrimination.

Therefore, for female apprentices, disciples and female doctors, if they want to achieve success in medicine, they need to make more efforts and sacrifices than men.

No sleep for one night.

Early in the morning, a large group of about fifty servants got up, washed and had breakfast, and then waited excitedly outside a spacious room for the apprentice's assessment.

Among these fifty or so servants, there are more men than women, and most of them are around 11, 12 or 13 years old. They are a group of people who entered the Rejuvenation Clinic to work as servants.

The assessment of apprentices is that the master randomly checks the contents of the "Thousand Herbs Classic".

"Thousands of Herbs Classic" records in detail the functions and indications of more than a thousand medicinal materials, as well as the nature, flavor, meridians, efficacy, picking and processing, usage and dosage, and applicable population of each medicinal material.

They need to read it thoroughly and memorize it by heart, and explain it in detail when the master randomly checks it in order to complete the assessment.

During the test, if even one herb cannot be answered, it means failure.

Xu Qingyi remembered that when his original body was sold to the pharmacy, he was not exposed to the "Thousand Herbs Classic" right away. Illiterate farm children like them needed to learn to read from the master of the pharmacy. Only after they recognized all the characters could they move on to further study. Some people could recognize characters and could naturally skip this step. In this way, their innate starting point would be higher than others.

The original body studied very hard. After finishing work, he would get up early in the morning to study and recite the "Thousand Herbs Classic". It took him three years and he had almost memorized the whole book.

If it were before Xu Qingyi came here, the original body would have only a 50-50 chance of passing the apprenticeship assessment, and would also need luck.

Now that I have changed the core, these are no longer a problem and I will definitely pass the apprenticeship assessment.

Xu Qingyi even discovered that she, who had traveled through time, seemed a little different, and she seemed...
