Translation of Yin Yuanli in Class Two of Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio

Yin Yuanli, a native of Yunnan, is good at acupuncture. Because the bandits rebelled, he ran into the deep mountains to take refuge. It's already dark, and it's still far from the village ahead. He is worried about meeting tigers and wolves. At this time, he saw two people on the road ahead in the distance, and he hurried to catch up. Where did he come from among the two when I arrived? Yin Yuanli told me his surname and birthplace. They bowed and said respectfully, "So you are Mr. Yin, a good doctor. I have admired your name like Taishan Beidou for a long time! " Yin Yuanli asked their names. The two claimed to be surnamed Ban, one named Ban Paw and the other named Ban Ya. After reporting his surname, he said to Yin Yuanli, "Sir, we also came to take refuge. Fortunately, the stone house in front can rest for the night. I took the liberty of inviting Mr. Wang to stay. We have something to ask Mr. Wang. " Yin Yuanli readily agreed. After a while, they came to a place together and saw a stone house near the valley. Firewood was lit in the room instead of candles, and it was only through Yin Yuanli's fire that I learned that the Bancroft brothers were fierce in appearance and body, as if they were not kind people. But considering there is nowhere to go, we have to let nature take its course. At this moment, I heard groans from the bed again. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be an old woman lying there, as if in pain. Yin Yuanli asked, "What's wrong with you?" "That's why we invited you," Benya said. So the class brothers lit up the bed with torches and invited Yin Yuanli to visit nearby. I saw two tumors under the old woman's nose near her mouth, both as big as bowls. And he said, "I dare not touch the pain, and I can't eat." Yin Yuanli said, "Easy." After that, he took out the moxa stick and made it into a small ball. He slapped dozens of strong women and said, "One night will be fine." The Bancroft brothers were very happy and entertained him with roast venison. There is no wine or rice, only venison. Ban Zhao said, "I didn't know you were in a hurry. Please don't blame our poor hospitality. " Yin Yuanli sleeps with a stone on her pillow when she is full. He felt that although the Bancroft brothers were sincere and simple, they were rude and terrible in appearance, and they were afraid to sleep after tossing and turning. Before dawn, he called the old woman and asked her how her condition was. The old lady just woke up and touched it with her hand and found that the tumor had broken into a sore. Yin Yuanli urged the class brothers to get up, lit a fire on the old woman, powdered her, and said, "All right." Say goodbye. The Bancroft brothers gave him another roast deer elbow.

There will be no Bancroft for the next three years. What? One day, Yin Yuanli happened to have something in the mountains. Two wolves stopped him and wouldn't let him go. As the sun went down, wolves came in droves again, attacking Yin Yuanli from front to back. The wolves came forward and tackled him. Several wolves scrambled to bite him again, tearing his clothes to pieces. Yin Yuanli expected to die this time. At this critical moment, two tigers suddenly arrived at a high speed, and the wolves scattered. The tiger was furious and roared loudly, and the wolves were scared to lie on the ground. The tiger jumped on them, killed them one by one and left. Yin Yuanli walked forward in a panic, afraid that she had nowhere to invest. At this time, an old woman walked in front of her, saw him like this and said, "Mr. Yin has suffered!" " "Yin Yuanli morosely told the old lady what happened just now and asked her how she knew about herself. The old woman said, "I am the old woman who asked you to treat tumors in a stone house." Yin Yuanli suddenly realized this and asked her to stay. The old woman took him to a lighted yard. She said, "The old lady has been waiting for Mr. Wang for a long time." He took out his robe and trousers and asked him to change into his rags. Then set the drinks and entertain the guests carefully. She pours wine from a clay bowl by herself, and talks and drinks generously, unlike ordinary women. Yin Yuanli asked, "Who were those two people last time? Why haven't you seen them? The old woman said, "Those are my two sons. I want them to meet my husband. They haven't come back yet. They must be lost. "Yin Yuanli thanked the old lady for her kindness, drank a lot of wine, got drunk unconsciously and fell asleep in her seat. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and there was no house to see around. He was the only one sitting on the rock. Suddenly, I heard a cow's snoring under the rock. When I looked carefully, it turned out that a tiger was asleep. This tiger has two scars on its mouth, both as big as fists. Yin Yuanli was frightened, afraid that the tiger would wake up and quietly ran away. Only then did he know that these two tigers were Ban Paw and Ban Ya.
