Chapter 008 Rushing to the marketplace
Early in the morning, my father got up early and made rice, greeted Hansen to get up, said today to catch wuyuan county town big fair, to go to buy some Chinese herbal medicine back.
Hansen climbed up, from a young age like to catch the market, the bustle of the market, every time will make him forget to return, not to mention is the county town big set it.
This go to the county seventy miles, must be to the town of Nanshan by car, so the father and son haphazardly eat a few mouth on the hurried departure.
Late autumn in the morning some cool, roadside weeds covered with dewdrops, the birds in the forest raucous, Hansen recognized that the black feathers is a local grackle.
Nanshan Town to the county quite a few people, father and son struggled to squeeze into the car.
The old bus spewed black smoke, bumping on the gravel road. The car is on the county town to catch the farmers, the car is stuffed with pepper strings, dried vegetables and red camphor, there are two reeds chicken occasionally "cluck" a few times, was the owner of the head hit two slaps.
The people in the car recognized Dr. Zhu and greeted him respectfully, and then everyone quieted down and smiled at Dr. Zhu's father and son.
A Beijing 212 type jeep honked its horn and leapt past, leaving a large cloud of dust behind its tail.
Hansen saw clearly that in the jeep sat Director Meng and the master from Hong Kong, Wu Daoming.
More than two hours later, finally came to the county town.
The market is located in the west of the city, a long way to see the bustling, crowded. In the end is the county town big set, village and town set is not comparable.
"Go play, at noon to Feng family noodle shop, we eat noodles there." Father said with a smile.
Hansheng answered and had already disappeared.
Dr. Zhu smiled bitterly, alas, still a child.
He turned around and went to the herbal medicine stall at the edge of the marketplace and greeted the stall owner. Dr. Zhu was an acquaintance and casually chatted about his family. Before noon, he had already bought some heat-clearing and blood-cooling herbs such as Di Huang, Xuan Shen, and Tomb Head, and blood-supplementing herbs such as Angelica Sinensis and White Peony, piling up a basket full of them. Seeing that it was getting late, he excused himself and left the bazaar, heading to the Feng Family Noodle House.
Dr. Zhu sat on a wooden bench outside the Feng Family Noodle House, resting on one side and waiting for Hansheng on the other.
Chansheng left his father, wandering around, inadvertently, found in front of a group of people surrounded, approached the front to see a small girl wearing a worn blue cloth coat kneeling on the ground, behind lying a hair white, the whole body tightly shrunken into a ball, dying old lady, the onlookers are all tut-tutting and sighing.
In front of the little girl on the ground spread a piece of paper, which is written in a crooked way:
Seek medical treatment, mother has a strange disease, someone cured, with his body in return.
"Little girl, what kind of disease does your mother have?" Someone in the crowd asked out loud.
"Little girl, how old are you?" Someone else asked.
The girl raised her head, and a hush fell over the crowd, but saw that the girl's eyebrow bones were protruding, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, her small eyes were like beans, her nose was collapsed and her mouth was big, and her face was full of freckles, so it was surprisingly strange and ugly ......
Cold Sheng at first sight is also shocked, thinking that there is such an ugly woman in the world. While he was thinking about it, he heard the girl start to speak.
"My name is Lan'er, this year sixteen years old, my mother last year in the waxing moon got this strange disease, so far less than a year, the condition is getting more and more serious, the whole body is like being frozen, stiff and can't move, shrunken into a ball, had to go to the hospital to see, all said that this disease can't be cured, so let's prepare for the aftermath. Lan'er kneeling to beg all the great masters and uncles, or there is a ray of hope, do cattle and horses are also willing."
Chansheng heard another shock, the voice hoarse as a frog roar, the eardrums were actually tingling.
"Little girl, this disease seems to be called 'gradual freezing man', unless Hua Tuo re-incarnation, magpie reborn, otherwise there is no cure, or earlier to take care of the aftermath of it!" The white-bearded old man who set up a stall next to him to sell dog skin plasters said.
"Woo......" Lan'er cried out at the words, the tears dripping down onto the paper book, surprisingly light red in color.
"Sobbing blood syndrome." Hansheng blurted out.
"Huh, this young man actually knows about 'Sobbing Blood Syndrome', this is also an ancient terminal disease, are you studying medicine?" That old man said in amazement.
Hansheng blushed and nodded his head.
"It's a pity that even the highest medical skills of the doctors in the human world can't cure this disease." The old man sighed.
"It can be cured." Hansheng whispered, his voice so low that only he could hear it.
"What, you said it can be cured?" The old man's ears were sharp.
Cold Sheng "hmmm".
"Young man, don't talk nonsense, do you know how you got this disease?" The old man's eyes were filled with disdain.
Hansheng shook his head, "I don't know."
"Hmph, if you don't know the cause of the disease, how can you cure it? Young people nowadays really don't know the heights of heaven." The old man huffed.
"This big brother, you can cure my mother?" Lan'er looked at Hansheng suspiciously.
Hansheng nodded affirmatively.
"If you cure my mother, I am willing to marry you!" Lan'er said firmly.
Hansheng remembered the words of the letter in the wooden box, "The person who has obtained the scripture should hang the pot to help the world", this mother and daughter are so poor, since there is a cure for "Iceman" in the Qing Nang Jing, he should be like Hua Tuo back then, to save people in danger.
Hansheng looked around, said: "I need a pair of scissors, a bowl of water, a box of matches will be fine."
There were quite a few enthusiastic people among the people watching, and in a short while, everything was ready. Word spread and more people gathered around.
Hansheng copied the scissors and walked toward Lan'er's mother.
Lan'er watched in horror, Hansheng also ignored the crowd's puzzled gaze, walked straight to Lan'er's mother's body, squatted down, grabbed her hair, "click" a cut, cut off a lock of hair.
He arranged the hair inside the porcelain bowl, picked up a handful of matches and lit the hair, the lock of hair burned to ashes in an instant, and then, in full view of everyone, he took out the green-colored earth egg from his pocket, and forcefully broke it on the ground.
There must be a woodworm in the egg, he prayed.
"There's a green worm!" The onlookers cried out in amazement.
Thank goodness, Hansheng carefully twisted up the green worm and held it in his palm, but he saw that the silkworm was fleshy and very fat, with two small lime green eyes, wriggling in his hand. Green sac scripture records, five elements of the earth eggs within the white, green, black, red and yellow five-colored silkworms, absorbing the essence of the earth, into the medicine is extremely effective. It is also a coincidence that the first of the symptoms treated by the woodworm is "Iceman", which can be said to be the right medicine.
The magic of "Qing Nang Jing" is the main drug only need to use a flavor, and the citation is very peculiar, and even incredible, the "Iceman" formula, the main drug woodworms, the citation is "blood", the scripture notes for the patient's hair.
The next step is simple, Hansheng will be put into the bowl of woodworms, the silkworms see blood Yu gray surprisingly open mouth to eat up ......
A few moments, the woodworm's stomach bulged up, the skin is also more green, and finally probably eaten enough, they close their mouths, closed their eyes and went to sleep.
Hansheng grabbed the woodworm with one hand, and with the other hand, he pinched open Lan'er Niang's mouth and stuffed the silkworm into her mouth.
Lan Er Niang's throat wriggled a few times and swallowed the silkworm.
People had watched in awe, even the old man next to her stared intently as Lan'er knelt next to her mother's head, stroking her face with her hand from time to time.
Hansheng heart the same tension, he also do not know what will happen next, from the five elements of the birth of grams point of view, "ice man" symptoms should belong to the water, water and ice. Wooden eggs silkworm color green belongs to wood, water can be born in the five elements of wood, in turn, wood also drain water, from the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, than with the earth to force water, much milder, but also in line with Lan Erniang's weak physique.
Not long after, someone softly called out. Under a closer look, Lan Erniang's head, face, hands, and body clothes, all gave birth to a trace of light white fog, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and finally in the skin and clothes on the surface of a layer of white frost.
The sunlight shone on Lan Erniang's body, slowly evaporating the white frost.
Lan Erniang's huddled body gradually stretched out, and Lan Er's tense expression relaxed.
Lan'er Niang opened her eyes and actually slowly sat up ......
The people present were moved to cheer, a few women were wiping tears from their faces, Lan'er flung herself into her mother's arms.
"Divine doctor, it's really a divine doctor." Someone shouted.
Lan'er turned around, her eyes filled with tears, and she fell on her head and bowed to Hansheng, her mouth kept saying, "Eun Gong, I, Lan'er, am as good as my word, if Eun Gong cured my mother, Lan'er shall return the favor with her body."
Han Sheng blushed and said softly, "The next big fair, still here, I'll heal you." Said drilled out of the crowd, ran away as if in a puff of smoke.
"Who is he?" Lan'er's mother asked.
Lan'er didn't answer, and a few light red tears flowed from her deep-set eyes.
The crowd slowly dispersed, the news that there was a divine doctor in wuyuan spread, and by that night, it had already spread throughout half of the county.
At sunset, in the city of Wuyuan, an ancient deep mansion.
This mansion is a typical Hui-style ancient residence, three into the patio, whitewashed walls and green tiles, horse-head walls with high eaves and flying ridges, inside the courtyard curved paths and corridors, especially the door cover on the wood carvings, one side of the fisherman and woodcutter farming and reading, one side of the qin, chess, books and paintings, exquisite, enough to show that this mansion must have been a family of scholars.
Today's owner is Huang Qian Sui, director of the County Revolutionary Committee, is also the director of the Nanshan Township Revolutionary Committee Meng Zhuqi's brother-in-law.
Inside the parlor of the main hall, cigarettes were lingering, and three people were sitting on the yellow pearwood eunuch chairs.
"So, the matter of the Divine Doctor is true, and not a rumor spread by class enemies?" Director Huang Qian Sui looked at his brother-in-law and puffed out a mouthful of smoke.
"It's true, a lot of people in the marketplace saw it with their own eyes, and that old woman's illness is said to be some kind of 'tachyphylaxis'." Meng Zhuqi said with certainty.
Huang Qian Sui turned his gaze to the man sitting on his right and said, "Master Wu, what do you think?" That person was none other than Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Wu Daoming.
Wu Daoming smiled faintly and said, "Director Huang, as far as I know, 'Acromegaly' is known internationally as 'Human Motor Neuron Atrophy', where the motor nerve cells of the patient's brainstem and spinal cord are attacked by an unknown cause that The patient's brain stem and spinal cord motor nerve cells are attacked by unknown causes, resulting in gradual muscle atrophy and weakness and paralysis, and the body is gradually frozen as if it were frozen, and the patient will usually die within two years. This disease is classified as one of the world's five most terminal diseases, and there is currently no precedent for a global cure."
Huang Qian Sui nodded and said, "Master Wu has a point, but my Chinese nation has a long history of five thousand years, the folk hide a lot of strange people, it is hard to guarantee that there is not out of a god doctor, just like the master you, is not also the leading yin and yang geomancy sector?"
"Director Huang, I'm also pondering on this issue, it's said that the young miracle doctor in the bazaar cured that old woman with a green worm and hair burnt to ashes, if this matter is true, there are hundreds of thousands of 'gradual freezing' patients in the world, how many billions of dollars should this one formula alone be worth? The business opportunities here are infinite!" Wu Daoming said.
Director Huang waved his hand, stood up, paced on the floor, and said meaningfully, "Let's not talk about money, even if it's the Chinese nation contributing to the world's working people or not, its impact is incomparably huge. As far as I know, there are revolutionaries from the older generation of the Central Government who suffer from this disease, if we can cure it, we can ensure that the revolutionary rivers and mountains will never change color, and this is the greatest contribution."
"Brother-in-law, this is also what I think." Meng Zhuqi said, looking slightly agitated.
"Alright, the matter of the Divine Physician you will conduct an investigation in secret, the key is to determine the authenticity. If it's false, then the person spreading the rumors should be arrested and report back to me at any time. In addition, the search for the Dragon's Lair should be intensified, and you must keep it a secret."
"Yes." Meng Zhuqi and Wu Daoming responded.
