Chapter 016 Nanshan Village
"So, it was the silkworms inside the Taiji Halo cave-born earth eggs that cured the old lady's terminal illness? Then we can dig out all those earth eggs after we find Taiji Halo. In the West, how many dollars can an egg be sold for?" Huang Qian Sui asked after listening to Wu Daoming's report.
"The price varies from patient to patient, I think there is still a market for 5 million dollars a piece." Wu Daoming replied.
Huang Qian Sui sucked in a mouthful of cold air, his chest was hot, and he was busy and then asked, "How many earth eggs are born underneath the Taiji Halo?"
Wu Daoming thought for a moment and said, "Not many, it is estimated that there are only more than ten, and they are divided into five types, gold eggs, wood eggs, water eggs, fire eggs and earth eggs, the one that cured the old woman was the woodworm inside the green wood eggs."
Meng Zhuqi interjected from the side, "The other several types of eggs might be more useful!"
"These five elements eggs have been continuously absorbing the essence of the sun and moon since the beginning of time, sun by day and yin by night, they should have a great deal of energy, but their usefulness is not well understood, and all of the Yijing texts have never recorded anything about this." Wu Daoming explained.
The high person behind that Hansheng definitely knew about it, but there was no need to tell Director Huang and his stupid uncle about this matter.
"We can take out the silkworms from the earth eggs and artificially raise and breed them, so won't we be able to turn one into ten and ten into a hundred?" Meng Zhuqi blurted out with a sudden thought.
Stupid! Wu Daoming cursed in his heart, but his mouth patiently explained, "The earth egg loses the essence of the sun and moon, and its energy ceases to exist."
Huang Qian Sui asked Wu Daoming, "Master Wu, we must find the Taiji Halo and get the earth egg as soon as possible. I've already inquired, the big boss's condition is getting worse, and now his whole body is frozen and contracted into a ball, if the time is any later, it might be too late."
"I understand, then arrange for me to stay in Nanshan Village, I will try to inquire as soon as possible, I don't know which one is more reliable?" Wu Daoming asked.
Huang Qian Sui's eyes flicked to his uncle, the head of Nanshan Town's Revolutionary Committee should understand the situation down there.
"Zhu Biao, the squad leader of Nanshan village, a party member, politically reliable, stay at his house, I'll make the arrangements." Meng Zhuqi said.
"Good, it's settled." Huang Qian Sui stood up.
Wu Daoming and Meng Zhuqi knew that the conversation was over.
Nanshan Village Grass House.
Lan'er told Dr. Zhu about her and her mother's unfortunate life, and over there, her mother had already burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably.
Alas, this pair of mother and daughter's encounter is really pitiful, Dr. Zhu has practiced medicine for a lifetime, all kinds of unfortunate families have seen a lot, but such a bitter woman like Huo Xiang is still the first time to encounter.
"And then your father's whereabouts were never found?" Dr. Zhu asked Lan'er with a sigh.
Lan'er shook her head and replied, "No, the world is so big, I don't know where to look."
The suffering of the world ah, I think I am a cloth-clothed doctor, boasts of hanging pots to help the world, but in addition to curing some common epidemic diseases, how can I cure the suffering of the world? Thinking of this, Dr. Zhu couldn't help but sigh long and hard.
"Hansheng, was it really you who cured Lan'er's mother of the 'Iceman's Disease'?" Dr. Zhu asked his son seriously.
"Yes, Pops." Hansheng looked at his father timidly.
Dr. Zhu looked at Lan'er Niang and then at Hansheng, how could this be possible? Although his son was not stupid, he could not possibly cure this terminal disease that generations of famous Chinese medicine practitioners had been unable to do anything about!
"Hansheng, you tell me the truth, you just said 'woodworm' is that green wooden eggs in the silkworm? I do know about the 'Blood Remnant', which is human hair, also known as the 'Human Molt'." Dr. Zhu's tone was stern.
Hansheng nodded and said softly, "Pops, I smashed the wooden egg and used the green silkworm inside to give it to Auntie."
Dr. Zhu's face softened a bit, then slowly said, "Where did you get this odd method?"
"Pops, I ......" Hansheng thought of the letter that said, "the person who got the scripture when the pot to help the world, must not say its origin, but parents and children can not say, remember, not to live up to the trust also" advice. The advice, a moment speechless, do not know how to respond.
"Hansheng!" Father said sternly.
Hansheng knew his father's temperament, today not to say no matter what will not be able to pass, but said, it would be contrary to the millennium tomb owner's trust, it is really a dilemma ah.
"Pops, I fell down from the big place mountain, it was a forest keeper named 'Wu Chu Mountain Man' who saved me, that person lives in seclusion in Wolong Valley, he is proficient in astronomy, geography, medicine and feng shui, he is a person with great knowledge, I learned a lot from him." Hansheng has no way, only to make a sloppy, a brain pushed to the mountain man, in detail, he really did not explicitly say that it is the mountain man told him the prescription, depending on the degree of understanding of the father.
"Wu Chu Mountain Man?" Dr. Zhu thought about it, as if he had never heard of the name before.
"Lan'er, you and your mother have no home to go to, so stay for now, Hansheng you clean up the west room and give it to the two of them, you and I will sleep in the east room, I'll go to the village to cut some pork from Li Lao Er's house and come back." Father commanded.
"Wu Chu mountain man ......," father mouth chattered, walked out the door.
Fang Lan'er had not yet been able to mention that Hansheng was prepared to cure her of the 'weeping blood syndrome', at this moment, seeing his father walk away, Hansheng hurriedly instructed Lan'er not to tell her father about this matter for now. Lan'er nodded her head and agreed, saying that she would listen to Hansheng's arrangements.
Hansheng heart there is still a question, he heard Lan Er's life, vaguely feel that they mother and daughter and Wu Chu mountain man seems to have some kind of connection, he decided to take the time to take Lan Er to see the mountain man, if the mountain man is Lan Er's long-lost father, the family can be reunited that would be so good ah!
We all picked up the west house together, and the industrious Lan'er called for water, and cleaned the inside and outside, the east house and the west house.
Home for the first time there are outsiders to live, the father specially cut back two pounds of meat and played a catty of soju, Lan Er and Hansen went to the field to pick some vegetables back, they live together to cook, has always been a cold and quiet home suddenly bustling, even the big yellow dog Bum Bum is also excited to run forward and backward, but always staring at the eyes of the pile of pork.
Burning the fire, Hansheng quietly said to Lan'er tonight at the ugly hour can be healed, that is, after one o'clock in the middle of the night, the next day can be healed at Ohio time. Lan'er was so happy that she thanked him again and again.
At dinner, my father drank a few more cups, sweeping away the grievances of two days of imprisonment, drinking and drinking on the high, Hansheng hurriedly help his father back to bed.
Hansheng lying in bed without closing his eyes, wrenching fingers counting the wall of the old-fashioned wall clock chiming time to beat the clock, for fear of missing the hour.
When the clock struck 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, he quietly got up, listening to his father's snoring, tiptoeing out of the east room.
Looking out, the yard was sprinkled with cool moonlight, and it was quiet in all directions, with a few occasional frogs chirping from the distant pond.
Pushing open the west room, Lan'er and her mother were both sitting on the bed with their clothes on, they had been waiting for the arrival of the divine doctor at the ugly hour.
Without saying a word, Hansheng greeted Lan'er to come out to the yard, and holding the hoe he had put behind the door in the evening, he went to the old camphor tree at the edge of the ground and began to plow the soil. In a short while, a soil pit about two feet deep was plowed. Then he brought a bucket of water and poured it into the earth pit, and then asked Lan'er to use a water spoon to keep scooping up about more than a meter high, and then poured it in, and then scooped and poured it again, and repeated it over and over again.
About nearly half an hour passed, and when the ugly hour arrived, Hansheng said that it was ready.
"This is the 'Midnight Earth Slurry Water'." Hansheng carefully scooped up some of the remaining mud slurry water at the bottom of the pit and pulled Lan'er to the moonlight.
He took out the hard-won 'Thunder Strike Riding Cloth', laid it flat on the ground, and pulled out the packet of Hundred Herb Cream from his pocket, mixing the Hundred Herb Cream with the Earth Slurry Water and applying it evenly to the riding cloth.
"Close your eyes." He commanded.
Lan'er hesitated and obediently closed her eyes. Chansheng wrapped the riding cloth around her face, and on the outside, he circled it again with a strip of prepared cloth, and finally tied it in a knot.
"Alright, it can only be unwrapped tomorrow at the hour of midnight." Hansheng was relieved to have accomplished his task.
He helped Lan'er to the west room, then exited the room and quietly returned to the east room, where his father was still sound asleep. He gently undressed and got into bed, yawned, and soon drifted off to sleep.
Clumsy, his head sticking out of his kennel, witnessed this, shook his head, and continued to doze off.
