Chapter 50: Strange Old Man

When the three of them came to the small courtyard of the brick house, Uncle Jin was lying on the bamboo chair next to the stone table with his eyes closed, and he was boiling water in the kitchen, carrying a teapot and a few glasses, and making four cups of tea and placing them on the stone table.

Zeng Xiaopeng brought a few bamboo stools and placed them around the stone table.

Old Man Dong did not sit down, but walked straight into the brick house, came out a few minutes later, sat down on the bamboo bench next to the stone table, and said to Dunzi: "The refrigerator is too small, tomorrow you go to buy a big refrigerator with two doors, pull it back and install it, the refrigerator must be full at any time to ensure their nutrition." ”

Old man Dong saw that Dunzi agreed repeatedly, and continued: "The weather is getting cold, tomorrow you can buy a few beds of thick cotton wool by the way, I just entered the room to see, their mattresses are too thin."

Dunzi said: "Dong Lao, I remember, I will do it all tomorrow." ”

Old Man Dong asked again: "Have you ever had a tetanus shot for the injury on Uncle Jin's forehead?"

Dunzi replied: "I have been shot, he is afraid of injections, or Zeng Xiaopeng is good at talking about it before letting the nurse get the injection." ”

At this time, when Old Man Jin heard the voice, he opened his eyes, looked at Old Man Dong, and said, "Old Man Dong is here, these indisputable things have cost me my life!"

Old Man Dong said with a smile: "It's all taken care of, Brother Jin, your complexion is good, those medicines are reduced by an appropriate amount, they are three points poisonous, Zeng Xiaopeng didn't trouble you, right?"

Old man Jin nodded: "It's okay, the cooking skills are good, my food volume has increased." ”

When the old man Dong heard this, he immediately became interested, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said to Zeng Xiaopeng, who was sitting on the side: "Xiaopeng, you see that the meal is almost here, or my old man will stay and learn your cooking skills?"

Zeng Xiaopeng was deeply moved by the old man's meticulous care, and it was a big refrigerator and thick cotton wool, Jinhong Group had so many major things that the old man needed to worry about, but the old man could still care so carefully and thoughtfully for the two guards in the ravine!

Hearing that the old man was going to stay for dinner, Zeng Xiaopeng was naturally happy, and hurriedly agreed, and ran down the hillside to pick vegetables.

It happened that last night Dunzi sent a few live fish over, and they were kept in buckets, and there were frozen chickens and ducks in the refrigerator, and Dunzi also went into the kitchen to help, and in less than an hour, a table of sumptuous dishes was served on the stone table.

Old Man Dong looked at a table of dishes full of color and aroma, laughed, unceremoniously picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of chicken and fed it into his mouth, and praised:

"Yes, yes, there are these good foods to serve every day, and they are all natural green foods, and I will also move here!"

Old man Jin was eating a large piece of meat, and when he heard Old Man Dong's words, he said: "Old Dong is coming, I raise my hands in favor, there is this kid waiting, his appetite is great, the air here is fresh, it is simply a natural oxygen, I, we are all here to retire!"

Director Ren looked at the two old men strangely, a piece of fish meat that was fed to his mouth was actually hanging in the air, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he was stared at fiercely by Old Man Dong, and Director Ren immediately stopped. Of course, Zeng Xiaopeng did not see this small action.

Zeng Xiaopeng also echoed: "I also like it here, I feel light and comfortable all day long!"

Old Man Dong smiled: "Xiaopeng, you can't be light, you have to be down-to-earth." ”

The five of them were talking and laughing and eating, and the old man Dong had a great appetite and praised Zeng Xiaopeng's craftsmanship.

Zeng Xiaopeng sandwiched a piece of chicken leg for Old Man Dong, and said coldly: "Old man, I want to ask you for a favor, the two kneeling at the bottom of the mountain, you can let them go, they are all in their fifties, don't kneel and make a mistake." “

Old Man Dong chewed the chicken leg and said: "Yes, Director Ren, you have eaten almost, just go back with them first, remember, tell them that it was Zeng Xiaopeng who begged for them, otherwise, I will never let go!"

Director Ren agreed, glanced at Zeng Xiaopeng in surprise, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and walked briskly down the hillside.

Old man Jin also stared at Zeng Xiaopeng strangely, but he didn't say anything.

After eating this meal for more than an hour, Zeng Xiaopeng and Dunzi cleaned up the dishes and entered the kitchen, and when they heard the two old men in the yard not knowing what to say, they let out bursts of hearty laughter!

"Blame the old man! People are crazy!" Zeng Xiaopeng sighed in his heart, stretched out his head and glanced at the two old men in the yard.

It wasn't until the warm sun was about to set that the old man Dong left the courtyard accompanied by Dunzi, and when he was about to go downhill, he turned back and shouted to Zeng Xiaopeng: "Xiaopeng, my old man is hungry one day, and he will come again." “

Zeng Xiaopeng also replied loudly: "Warm welcome!"

Old man Jin didn't take a nap today, and he was injured, his face was tired, and he was about to go into the room to rest, Zeng Xiaopeng took his hand at the door, looked at the gauze wrapped around his forehead, and said softly: "Uncle Jin, thank you today! I will accompany you to the hospital tomorrow morning to change your dressing." ”

Old man Jin nodded, pushed the door and entered the room.

The afterglow of the setting sun swayed on the earth, and a touch of fiery red on the horizon was reflected in the small courtyard, Zeng Xiaopeng picked up the broom in the corner of the courtyard and cleaned the yard.

Looking up and seeing the sunset red on the horizon and the scenery was pleasant, Zeng Xiaopeng walked down the hillside and walked towards the depths of the field.

Walking aimlessly, unconsciously came to a courtyard, with a dog barking, a man walked out of the courtyard, Zeng Xiaopeng fixed his eyes, it turned out to be the middle-aged man Wei Renfu who was carrying the flat in the No. 4 shed today.

Wei Renfu also recognized Zeng Xiaopeng, and immediately greeted the barking yellow dog, and said happily:

"It turned out to be little brother, I was talking about going to see you and uncle!" As he spoke, he took Zeng Xiaopeng's hand and entered the courtyard, raised his hand and pointed to two skinned hares and a cloth bag on a wooden table, and then said:

"Little brother, I accidentally injured my uncle today, I cut two hares that I raised, packed a bag of millet, and said that I would send them over to make up for his old man's body. ”

Zeng Xiaopeng was also amused by the coincidence in front of him, and said: "It's Uncle Wei, I just came out for a walk, and I met you by such a coincidence! Thank you for still thinking about Uncle Jin!"

As he was talking, an old man with white hair and white beard came out of the house when he heard the sound, Zeng Xiaopeng saw that this old man was much older than Old Man Dong, his face was full of wrinkles, and a pair of big hands with prominent bones were wrapped in a layer of skin, bent his waist, holding a cane, and moved tremblingly to the courtyard.

Wei Renfu immediately stepped forward to support the old man and introduced to Zeng Xiaopeng:

"This is my grandfather, 103 years old this year, he is a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in our ten miles and eight towns, now he is old, and he doesn't go to the doctor, but there are many people who come to see him. ”

When Zeng Xiaopeng heard this, he frowned, thought about it, and said to Wei Renfu:

"Uncle Wei, can you please ask your grandfather to see Uncle Jin, he keeps taking medicine all day, I'm worried that he will not be good for his health if he takes too much Western medicine. ”

Wei Renfu agreed: "Okay, my grandfather's medical skills have cured many incurable diseases." ”

"Okay, I'll bring Uncle Jin over tomorrow and ask the old man to give him a number and pulse. ”

"Uncle Jin has a wound on his forehead, and he can't stand the cold when he goes out, so I accidentally injured his old man, so let's do it, I will go to his old man's house with my grandfather behind my back now. ”

When Zeng Xiaopeng heard this, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's change the old man on our back." ”

Wei Renfu immediately asked for the old man's consent, turned around and went into the house to take out a medicine box, and as soon as he bent over, he carried the old Chinese medicine grandfather on his back.

At Wei Renfu's suggestion, Zeng Xiaopeng picked up the two rabbits and a bag of millet on the table and walked towards the small hillside brick house guarding the greenhouse.

In front of Old Man Jin's bed, Wei Renfu's grandfather squinted his eyes tightly and carefully checked Old Man Jin's pulse.

Traditional Chinese medicine to take the pulse, not the left and the right of the woman, but the left and right hands are touched, each hand is divided into three parts, Guan, and Ruler, and the left and right organs are different, such as the left inch Hou heart, Guan Hou liver, and Qi Hou kidney;

At this time, the old Chinese medicine doctor checked the pulse of the old man Jin, that is, he touched the patient's left and right hands for a long time, frowned for a while, nodded and smacked his tongue for a while, and only after a long time did the old man withdraw his hand to take the pulse, and said with words in his mouth:

"The lungs are weak and qi is deficient, all qi comes from the lungs, the lungs are the qi of the whole body, the lungs are deficient, the qi is hidden in the five organs, and the qi deficiency also includes the deficiency of the five organs, and it has been accumulated for a long time, and it takes a lot of time to recuperate. Moreover, you have other medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and poor liver function. ”

After listening to the diagnosis of the old Chinese medicine doctor, the old man Jin stood up and asked, "Old man, can I cure the root cause of these diseases?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor replied: "One look at the medicine, the other looks at the creation, first treat the lung weakness and qi deficiency, I will prescribe you a Chinese medicine, but there is a medicine in it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find?"

Old man Jin and Zeng Xiaopeng asked eagerly almost at the same time, "What kind of medicine?"

The old Chinese medicine doctor said mysteriously: "Wild ginseng that is more than 50 years old!

Old man Jin lowered his head in disappointment.

Zeng Xiaopeng jumped up and exclaimed: "I have wild ginseng for more than 50 years, a truly authentic wild ginseng for 50 years!"

The old Chinese medicine doctor tilted his head to look at Zeng Xiaopeng, stretched out a pair of bony hands and said, "You have, you can show it to me, artificially planted, although it is wild ginseng, but it is not old enough, you can't hide it from my old man?"

Zeng Xiaopeng hurriedly replied: "I'll bring it to you for inspection tomorrow, it's not on me at this time." ”

Old man Jin also asked suspiciously: "Xiaopeng, you really have wild ginseng that is more than fifty years old, but I haven't found it for a few years?"

"I do, I'll go back to the city tomorrow and get it. ”
