Waking up from a deep sleep, Li Hao fell into a daze.

"Who am I? Who am I really?"

At this moment, lying in bed, he didn't know who he was.

With his memory in chaos, he lay motionless on the bed.

In one set of memories, he was named Li Hao, a barely competent martial artist.

The martial arts he learned originated from the legendary Li Shuwen of the previous century.

Perhaps due to his poor martial talent, he started practicing martial arts at the age of seven and continued until he was thirty, but he never achieved much. In hand-to-hand combat, he could only take on three or four people of the same age.

Obsessed with martial arts, he was dragged into the water by a large fish during his first sea fishing trip...

In another set of memories, he was also named Li Hao, who had just graduated from Sanjiang Traditional Chinese Medicine University and was recently fired by the hospital's Director Fan. When he woke up, his mind was filled with additional information.

"Two complete sets of memories, one of which ended with being dragged into the sea by a fish."

"This is the Xuanhuang Star, and I am Li Hao, who has awakened the memories of my past life?"

After sorting through the chaotic memories and calming down, Li Hao got up and decided to check out and go home.

As for matters beyond Xuanhuang Star, he couldn't do anything about them; his heart was willing, but his strength was not.

No matter which world's Li Hao he was, he could only play the role of Li Hao on Xuanhuang Star.

Having offended the emergency department's Director Fan Deheng, he had no place left in the medical industry in Sanjiang City.

The day before yesterday, during lunch break, Li Hao saw Director Fan forcing a nurse in the office...

His sense of justice and heroic impulse led him to intervene, but the outcome was not worth mentioning.

In recent years, his hometown, Jiangshan Town, had developed well. Rather than wasting time in Sanjiang City, it was better to return home.

Many medical students did not have a medical practice license when they graduated from university.

Growing up in Li Family Village, he had always been fond of medicine and had learned for over ten years from his great-uncle.

To obtain a TCM license, one needed a referral. His great-uncle, Li Hongde, was a well-known old TCM practitioner in the area.

With Li Hongde's referral, he took several exams and obtained his medical practice license two years ago.

He couldn't treat serious illnesses, but he could handle minor ones like colds.

Many certificates and procedures were similar to driver's licenses; a few years ago, they could be bought with money, but now the regulations were getting stricter.

"Rely on the mountains for food, rely on the water for sustenance. My hometown, Li Family Village, has rivers, mountains, and the sea."

After packing his luggage, he found the landlord, checked out, and paid the bill. Li Hao then took a taxi.

Li Family Village had sixty-eight households, all of which were surnamed Li, and the villagers were all related.

Currently, Li Family Village had 343 people and covered an area of over 3,700 mu.

In the past, Li Family Village was an isolated village with the same surname.

After the Hu Mountain Tunnel was built, the beautiful Li Family Village attracted many tourists.

The rural road led to the village, and many young people in the village followed the trend of shooting videos of sea fishing...

Surrounded by rivers, mountains, and the sea, Li Family Village was once a remote village in the coastal area.

In the past, the Long River, Hu Mountain, and the sea had restricted the village's development.

Now, the Long River, Hu Mountain, and the sea were gifts from nature to Li Family Village.

An hour later, Li Hao paid the fare, got off the car, and dragged his luggage toward a two-story building.

The house had two floors, each with four rooms, a living room, and a balcony.

Seeing him return, Li Changquan, his father, said thoughtfully, "You're back."

"Dad," Li Hao called out and mentioned that he had been fired by Director Fan.

"It's better not to be a doctor. Like Li Kun, catching crabs and shooting videos can earn you two or three thousand a month. If you treat someone and they get worse..." Li Changquan comforted him.

"Dad, I'm fine," Li Hao said with a smile.

"What do you want to eat for dinner?" Li Changquan asked.

"Anything is fine," Li Hao replied.

"I'll go to your uncle's place to see if he has any fish," Li Changquan said and walked out.

In the village, some people farmed, and others fished.

Li Hao had over ten uncles and dozens of cousins.

His father's eldest brother, the eldest son of his grandfather, was his great-uncle.

Second Uncle... his great-uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle's eldest sons, he had to call them all Great-Uncle.

He brought gifts he bought in Sanjiang City to visit his great-uncle Li Hongde, then returned home and entered his room. Li Hao practiced a series of martial arts techniques: Bajiquan, Hunyuan Power, Divine Traveling Technique, and Yi Jin Jing.

He also recited the Bone Strengthening Classic and the Marrow Washing Classic, which he had never practiced before.

"At twenty-four, I'm too old, and my physical condition is too poor."

"I'm 1.8 meters tall, weigh 60 kilograms, and I'm handsome, but too thin."

"Medicine and martial arts are inseparable. I practiced martial arts for over ten years on Earth and studied TCM on Xuanhuang Star."

Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Li Hao turned and went downstairs.

"Li San, why are you back?" Li Kun asked in surprise.

He was the second son of his great-uncle, and many people in the village called him Li Er.

Li Mei, his great-uncle's daughter, was first, Li Kun was second.

Li Hao was third, and his younger brother Li Jie was fourth.

Li Er, Li San, and Li Si were their nicknames.

Those older than him, but of higher seniority, called him Li San.

Those younger than him called him Brother San, and those of lower seniority called him Uncle San.

"I quit my job," Li Hao said without explanation.

"Learn live streaming sea fishing from me. As long as you work hard, earning ten thousand a month is not a dream," Li Kun said insincerely.

"I'm a bit tired recently. I'll rest for a few days," Li Hao said without refusing.

"I have to go to work now," Li Kun said, took out his phone, and made a call.

A moment later, Li Fei, the cameraman, arrived with his equipment.

"Brother San, when did you come back?" Li Fei asked with a smile.

"Just got back," Li Hao replied. Li Fei was the eldest grandson of his second great-uncle, a few months younger than him.

Those older than him, but of higher seniority, called him Li San.

Those younger than him called him Brother San, and those of lower seniority called him Uncle San.

"Come, let's catch crabs together?" Li Fei suggested.

"Sure," Li Hao nodded.

"Everyone, this is Li Kun... and this is my cousin, Li Hao," Li Kun introduced Li Hao to the live stream audience.

Seeing Li Er's eloquence, Li Hao felt envious. In his past life, he was passionate about martial arts and not good with words. In this world, he was like a bookworm, lacking social skills.

"Let's not waste time. The sea fishing duo is off, no, now it's a trio," Li Kun said, holding a bucket in one hand and a pair of tongs in the other, heading straight for the sea.

With the intention of passing time and adjusting his mindset, Li Hao followed at a steady pace.

"Everyone, see that? Two blue crabs, one male and one female," Li Kun said with a smile.

Li Fei, holding the camera, carefully filmed the two blue crabs.

"Thank you for the tips," Li Kun said.

Li Hao's luck was good, and he caught six blue crabs over three taels.

To avoid resource depletion, the villagers only caught crabs over two taels.

"Uncle Er, how many did you catch?" Li Hao asked with a smile.

"Just a few rock fish," Li Changming replied.

Li Hao took out a cigarette and offered one to him.

"When did you come back?" Li Changming asked.

"Just got back," Li Hao said.

"What are your plans for the future?" Li Changming asked, puffing on his cigarette.

"Rest for a few days first," Li Hao said, feeling lost.

"You have a medical practice license. Opening your own clinic is better than working in a hospital," Li Changming said.

"My medical skills are not good, and I'm too young," Li Hao shook his head.

In TCM, the older the practitioner, the better the skills.

Even if the skills were good, being too young was a disadvantage.

"You go ahead," Li Changming looked at Li Kun.

"Okay," Li Hao nodded.

An hour later, Li Kun's live stream ended.

"How much did you earn?" Li Fei asked.

"Converted to Yanhuang coins, about three thousand," Li Kun smiled. The live stream was split 50-50, with Li Fei earning 300 daily, and Li Kun's net income for the day was about one thousand Yanhuang coins.
