Chapter 156: Ancient Medical Book
A few days later, Jiang Chao really ordered the army to go north, Yi Qingfeng, Mu Qianqian, and Xiang Chen were extremely strong, so they naturally went with the army, while Wu Renliang stayed to defend the city because he was newly married. After a few days, the city was peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and order, and few wicked people and evil things appeared. In addition to directing his sergeants to practice every day, Wu Renliang drinks at home, and his life is not shocking.
On this day, he sat at home and drank alone, Cui Yan stepped forward and said: "Early in the morning, why do you drink wine?" Wu Renliang said: "Today, the soldiers have a day off for training, and I have nothing to do, so I have to drink some wine to relieve my boredom." ”
Cui Yan said: "I want to go to the city to buy some things, why don't you come with me?"
Wu Renliang said: "I'm drinking hard, you let Liu'er accompany you." ”
Cui Yan had no choice but to call the maid Liu'er and let her accompany her into the city.
Liu Er followed Cui Yan and walked on the crowded streets, Liu Er said: "Young grandma, I think the young master seems to be a little depressed recently, and he doesn't even come to accompany you into the city for a walk." ”
Cui Yan said: "I understand what he thinks in his heart, let's go, accompany me to the study building for a walk, I want to pick a few books to go back." As he spoke, he walked forward with Liu'er.
Cui Yan wandered around the library, searching for books of interest from the densely packed bookshelves, it turned out that she had always been interested in medical skills, and had followed an old Chinese medicine doctor in the town for a while, but this old Chinese medicine doctor had limited ability after all, and his medical skills that were not very good were quickly learned by the talented and intelligent Cui Yan.
Cui Yan soon discovered that the little medical skills she had learned could only cure some simple diseases, and she was completely helpless against slightly more complex diseases. Unwilling to be a quack doctor, Cui Yan decided to seek the legendary superior medical skills that can make the difference between life and death from the dead.
Cui Yan kept strolling around the library, the number of medical books in her hand increased one by one, and Liu Er beside her said: "Young grandma, do you want to move all the medical books in this library building home, these books are enough to read for a few years." Cui Yan looked back at the dozen or so medical books in Liu Er's hand and said to herself: "These books are enough to read for a while, let's go here today, Liu Er, let's go." As he spoke, he strode towards the outside of the library.
The two of them each held five or six medical books in their hands and walked towards the camp, walking, when suddenly there was a shout not far away: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, come and take a look, our store has launched a new batch of rare treasures, and the opportunity is rare and not to be missed." ”
Cui Yan followed the sound and found that it turned out to be an antique shop called "Jubao Zhai" soliciting business, Cui Yan said: "Liu'er, let's go to that antique shop to see what treasures there are, and by the way, take a break, it's really tiring to walk with these books." ”
Liu Er said: "Yes, young grandmother, I knew that if you were going to bring so many books back, you should have asked the young master to send a sergeant to follow." ”
Cui Yan said: "No, let's just hire a sedan chair to carry us back." With that, the two of them walked towards the antique shop together.
There are really a lot of items in the antique industry, various materials and styles, or new or old objects, there are countless dazzling, Cui Yan is not good at antiques, but he is not easy to sell if he wants to be addicted. At this time, the owner of the antique shop was looking at Cui Yan with thief eyes, he saw that Cui Yan was good-looking, luxuriously dressed, and there was a girl serving beside him, thinking that he must be a rich daughter.
Then he glanced at the many medical books that Cui Yan was holding in his hand when he first entered the door, and secretly had a plan in his heart, he made a look and called the guy who was shouting at the door in, and then muttered a few words in his ear, and the guy Wei Wei nodded and retreated.
After a while, a handsome boy walked in, and he said to the owner of the antique shop: "Shopkeeper, I heard that you have a lot of rare treasures in this treasure shop, and this son has been looking for some items related to medical skills recently, I don't know if there are similar treasures in the treasure shop?"
The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles and said: "Childe is really coincidental, the little one happened to receive a similar treasure recently, this object is said to be an ancient artifact that has been passed down for thousands of years, I wonder if Childe is interested in taking a look?"
Childe was overjoyed and said: "There is such a divine object, please come out quickly." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Son, wait, the little one will go and get it immediately." He turned and headed upstairs.
Soon, the shopkeeper walked out with a lacquered wooden box that looked clumsy in his hand, he took out a well-preserved ancient book from the box and said: "Childe, you see, this ancient medical book can record many excellent ancient forensic skills, the small one has recently studied it carefully, but the knowledge is shallow, so far can not understand the mystery, Childe has always been knowledgeable, I must be able to understand the wonders." ”
Childe took the ancient book in his hand and read it over and over again, and he said with a sad face: "This book is obscure, and the medicine described is contrary to common sense, and it will be difficult to appreciate the beauty in the next hour and a half." ”
The shopkeeper said: "That's nature, this is an ancient medical book, mysterious, if you don't have enough talent to learn, how can you understand, a few days ago there was an old Taoist priest out of five thousand gold coins to buy, I didn't give up." ”
Childe said: "With all due respect, you can't understand this book, and it's useless to keep it, and if you are willing to buy and sell this book for 8,000 gold coins, I don't know what the shopkeeper wants?"
The shopkeeper pondered for a while and said: "No, no, no, such an ancient medical book is rare in the world, and you want me to make an easy move for a mere eight thousand gold coins, and the small one will not obey his fate." ”
Childe said: "Why is the shopkeeper so stubborn, 8,000 gold coins is already a lot, whether this book is an ancient medical book is inconclusive, why not give it to me." ”
The two were holding each other, and Cui Yan, who was listening to it on the side, was moved, she stepped forward and said: "Shopkeeper, just now I heard the two of you discussing a medical book and ancient book, and the little woman also knows a little about medical skills, I wonder if I can borrow a treasure to take a look?"
The shopkeeper said: "This treasure of mine is extraordinary, since the girl knows how to use medicine, she can see it." As he spoke, he handed the ancient book to Cui Yan.
Cui Yan took it in her hand and read it carefully, she was very talented and intelligent, although the ancient books were obscure, but she could understand one or two, and after reading for a while, she sighed secretly: "The medical skills contained in this book are extremely clever, if the sentences are true, there is no disease in the world and cannot be cured." ”
The shopkeeper saw that Cui Yan was fascinated and hurriedly asked, "Can the girl appreciate the subtleties?"
Cui Yan said: "I know a little bit about it, dare to ask the shopkeeper how much this book is worth?"
The shopkeeper muttered for a moment and said: "The little one sees that the girl is sincere, and how can such a treasure be met if it is not destined for someone, if the girl really wants it, the little one is willing to give it up at the price of 10,000 gold coins." ”
Cui Yan said: "10,000 gold coins is really not much, but the little woman went out early in the morning and didn't carry so many gold coins with her, I don't know if the shopkeeper can wait for a while, and the little woman will go home to get it immediately?"
The shopkeeper said, "Of course, of course, the girl please take care of herself." ”
Cui Yan immediately called Liu'er, and then went out and hired a carriage and hurried towards the camp.
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw Cui Yan and said: "Brother Ge, it seems that the cooperation between the two of us is seamless, and that girl would never have thought that this ancient book was worthless." ”
The person who is called Brother Ge is the handsome son, it turns out that the two of them are used to deceive people of money, the ancient medical book they just said is indeed a medical book with years, but the medical skills contained in this book are absurd and useless after being identified by a special person, so this book has been ignored for several years.
Today, the shopkeeper Jian Cuiyan is young and obsessed with medicine, so he set a trap with Brother Ge to lure her into the game.
Let's say that Cui Yan hurried back, Wu Renliang saw her come back with a lot of medical books and asked, "Cui Yan, what are you doing here, coming back with so many books?"
Cui Yan took the book into the room and said, "Of course I read it, isn't it possible to use it as firewood?"
Wu Renliang said: "I didn't expect you to be so interested in medicine?"
Cui Yan said: "You know, I have been practicing medicine with an old Chinese medicine since I was a child, and now I am just returning to my old business." ”
Wu Renliang said: "So you plan to open a medical center?"
Cui Yan said: "No, it's just that I want to study medical skills, by the way, just now I found an ancient medical book in the antique shop in the city, the shopkeeper's bid is 10,000 gold coins, the medical skills contained in this book are very mysterious, I have never heard of it, I really want to take this book to study, I don't know if you agree?"
Wu Renliang pondered for a while and said: "If it is really an ancient medical book as you said, then 10,000 gold coins is really not much, I am afraid that it is fake, 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount, you should consider it carefully." ”
Cui Yan said: "You have always been well-informed, why don't you follow me to see what is going on?"
Wu Renliang said: "Naturally, I want to go and see what is going on, I have been frugal for so many years, and I have only saved so much savings, if you let you take it to waste, I will not follow it." So saying, the two got into the carriage and headed for the city.
When the shopkeeper saw Cuiyan returning, he happily closed his mouth and said, "The girl is really a trustworthy person, please come in quickly." ”
After Wu Renliang came in, he said: "Shopkeeper, and bring the ancient medical book to the general." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It turns out that the general is coming, forgive the little one who has no eyes, please sit down." As he spoke, he sat down for the two of them.
Wu Renliang carefully studied the medical book and said, "Shopkeeper, where did you get this book?"
The shopkeeper said: "To be honest, three years ago I stepped into a deep mountain with a friend to hunt for treasure, this book was obtained from an ancient tomb, in order to get this book, the small one almost lost his life." General, please rest assured, this book must not be fake, and the small ones are willing to guarantee with their lives. ”
Wu Renliang saw his words and said ruthlessly: "Okay, I believe you, Cui Yan, then we will accept this book, right?"
Cui Yan smiled: "Thank you." ”
Wu Renliang took out a big bag of gold coins and said: "Shopkeeper, here are 10,000 gold coins, let's pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other, the gold coins belong to you, and this ancient medical book belongs to me." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Thank you, General, there is also a wooden box here, which is a companion to this ancient book, and please accept it." As he spoke, he handed over the wooden box.
Wu Renliang accepted it and put the book in it, he turned around and handed it to Cui Yan and said, "With this treasure, it seems that your medical skills will definitely soar." ”
After Cui Yan took it, he said happily: "By borrowing the auspicious words of the minister, I should study with all my might." With that, the two of them went out.
