Chapter 15: Experience
The faint aroma of tea drifted in the air.
After serving two cups of tea, Fang Han observed the frail and delicate young girl in front of him, feeling quietly puzzled.
Because in that Life Simulation, he had never once encountered her.
But on second thought, back then he had been struggling just to survive and hadn’t even met Elder Zhen yet—how could he have known about this “distant relative’s young girl”?
Years later, after wandering and returning, he had been over thirty.
She was probably already married by then—how would they have crossed paths?
Thinking this far, he couldn’t help but sigh a little inside.
Only…
Recalling what Elder Zhen had just said, Fang Han furrowed his brow slightly.
That old man—if nothing else—wasn’t the type to tell lies lightly.
If he said this girl’s medical skill surpassed Fang Han’s, it likely wasn’t just empty talk.
But this was a girl of ten-something, at most sixteen or seventeen. Could she truly have such remarkable talent?
It had to be known—his medical skill, honed through the Life Simulation, was superior even to Elder Zhen, a master with decades of experience.
Truthfully, the skill he now possessed…
If it were back in his own time before transmigrating, he’d have been considered a national-level Traditional Chinese Medicine master.
He could treat and manage many complex illnesses and obscure pathologies.
Some so-called “incurable diseases,” he believed, he could at least try addressing.
Sometimes, he would even think—
If I were to go back now with this skillset, wouldn’t I easily become a big shot?
It was because of this ability that, in the Life Simulation, he had accumulated such great fame and built extensive connections in Linshui County.
Yet now, according to Elder Zhen, he wasn’t even as skilled as this “distant relative’s girl”?
And a teenager, no less?
Fang Han couldn’t help but feel a little skeptical.
Even with exceptional talent, there’s no way a person could master such profound skills at such a young age.
This line of work relies on practical experience and learning over time.
On paper, he was twenty-two years old, yet his medical skill was at the “Proficient” level—that wasn’t due to talent.
Elder Zhen called him a genius, but he knew very well—it wasn’t talent. Not entirely.
Maybe a little. But mostly, it was because of the decades of trial-and-error and practice within the Life Simulation.
Otherwise, let alone real medicine, he wouldn’t have even understood a medical text properly.
So even if this girl had started learning medicine from inside the womb, could she be this absurdly skilled?
Over at the tea table, Elder Zhen took a light sip, catching Fang Han’s glance at Cheng Lingsu.
He smirked inwardly.
This kid might act indifferent, but he’s bothered.
And rightly so—if someone said his medical skill was inferior, how could he not mind?
Stroking his beard, Elder Zhen was just about to boast when suddenly someone arrived outside.
He had no choice but to swallow his words in frustration.
Fang Han also retracted his gaze at just the right moment.
Staring at a shy young girl for too long wasn’t polite anyway.
Turning to look, he couldn’t help but smile and rose to his feet.
“Elder, what brings you here today, especially?”
The visitor was none other than the village head of the Li family village.
About seven or eight people came with him, each carrying a basket of herbs, with some miscellaneous items.
Old Village Head Li looked at Fang Han and greeted him warmly.
He added, “These are some fresh vegetables and fruits just grown in the countryside. Thought I’d bring some for Mister Fang to try.”
Fang Han smiled.
“That’s very kind of you. Please, come in and sit.”
Old Li glanced inside and saw there were guests.
Not wanting to disturb, he quickly waved his hand.
“Oh no, don’t bother. I still have to buy a few things and head back to the village—won’t stay long.”
Fang Han tried to persuade him a few times, but they were insistent.
Left with no choice, he weighed and tallied the herbs.
Old Village Head Li was extremely grateful:
“Mister Fang, you’re a truly good man. I may be an old farmer from the countryside, but I know the difference between good and bad, and I remember kindness.”
Thanks to this herb-collecting exchange, every family in the village could now earn some extra money every month, enough to buy some household necessities.
To them, it had tangibly improved life—maybe even survival itself.
And not just them—even a few idle layabouts in the village had benefited.
After countless expressions of gratitude and farewells, Fang Han watched their backs as they walked away, standing silently for a moment.
He let out a soft sigh.
Life in ancient times… common folks did have it hard.
During the Life Simulation, he had felt it personally and seen it with his own eyes.
His heart was full of empathy.
At some point, Elder Zhen had walked to the side and noticed Fang Han’s pensive expression.
For some reason, he suddenly lost the desire to compete and crushed his momentum with petty jabs.
Cheng Lingsu’s eyes blinked softly as she looked at Fang Han.
In her bright gaze, a few flickers of emotion shimmered.
Suddenly, she spoke:
“Mr… Fang, let me help you sort these herbs.”
Fang Han snapped back to reality at the sound of her clear voice.
He looked at the young girl and saw that a bit of color had returned to her waxy-pale face.
Her clear eyes were so bright they drew attention.
He was momentarily stunned, then smiled and nodded:
“All right~ Thank you, Miss Cheng.”
The two of them began organizing the piles of herbs.
Fang Han was, of course, quite practiced.
But even Cheng Lingsu’s movements were swift and deft.
This made Fang Han glance at her a few more times.
Occasionally, when she handed over a sorted packet of herbs, there seemed to be a subtle, fleeting fragrance in the air.
Elder Zhen quietly stepped back to sip his tea, stroking his beard while watching the two.
Who knows what he was thinking?
Very soon, the herbs were fully sorted.
But before they could sit down and chat, more villagers arrived seeking consultations.
Fang Han had no choice but to offer an apologetic smile to Elder Zhen and Cheng Lingsu, pouring them more tea.
“Forgive my poor hospitality. Please relax, both of you.”
Elder Zhen sighed:
“Tending to the sick is more important. Don’t worry about us.”
Fang Han nodded, then gave Cheng Lingsu another smile.
He walked over to treat the new patients.
Cheng Lingsu cradled her teacup and took a small sip, but her gaze remained fixed on Fang Han.
Elder Zhen suddenly spoke:
“When I said earlier that he had a kind and righteous heart, it wasn’t just polite talk.”
Cheng Lingsu replied with a quiet “Mm.”
She had seen the earlier scene with her own eyes—
And she could tell it was true.
