Because Shou Jingfang was still prescribing medicine to those women, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan didn't dare to talk, but just watched from the sidelines. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Until Shou Jingfang finished writing, he handed the prescription to Lin Su and asked her to send a few women to the front cabinet to grab the medicine. Then he got up and poured water and washed his hands, and finally sat back with the smell of pancreas, and they had a real chance to talk to each other.

However, it was also very surprising that at this time, Shou Jingfang didn't wait for Hong Yanwu to speak, and immediately recognized his identity from him and Chen Liquan.

"Are you the third child of the Hong family?"

Hong Yanwu hurriedly called "Uncle Cousin", and then asked, "Why did you recognize me at a glance?"

"You look a lot like your uncle, and your mother is right. ”

Hong Yanwu didn't know how to say this, because he had never seen his uncle, and he had only occasionally heard his mother mention it in the past, and probably remembered that it was a urine character who dared to use a skull to play with the lama of Lama Temple.

So after nodding his head perfunctorily, he took out the five hundred yuan first, said that he wanted to return it, and said a lot of words of thanks for his mother.

But Shou Jingfang sighed, but refused to take it back.

"When I gave your mother money, I guessed that there would be such a thing. If it weren't for the loss of her soul because she heard the bad news, I'm afraid she wouldn't have reached out to take it. I know she's a strong person, and she doesn't want to be helped, no matter how difficult it is. But we're not relatives, we have generations of friendship, why are you so polite to me? To put it bluntly, money is a thing, I don't bring it in life, I don't bring it in death, I live alone, lock the door, and I'm not afraid of starving to death on the small bench. If you recognize me as a cousin, then you have to listen to me and get the money back. ”

Shou Jingfang's words are very heartwarming. However, because he was entrusted by his mother, Hong Yanwu did not dare to make a false claim.

"Uncle Cousin, when you came to the house to leave the fifty yuan, it has actually solved our urgent need, and the whole family is grateful. But this money is not a small number, and you have to eat and drink it by yourself, and besides, you have two children who are suffering outside, so how can we bear to accept it again? So when I came today, my mother asked me to advise you to take this money back, and please don't wronged yourself because you are worried about us......

Unexpectedly, Shou Jingfang laughed when he heard this, and actually said a rather surprising situation.

"Your mother knows me well, and knows that I can't live as a person, so it's no wonder she's worried about me. But to be honest, you don't have to worry about it, even if you spend the money, because it's not too hard for me to make up the money. Don't forget, I'm the queen of the Imperial Doctor after all. In such a big capital, I can dig up some herbs and sell them to pharmacies for money. Like the "Motherwort" planted by the Empress Dowager of the West after the "Buddha Xiang Pavilion", and the "Ruicao" and "Night Vine" in the wild forest of the "Old Summer Palace", I will pick them on time every year. This money is more than enough for me to live a comfortable life, and my children will not be able to suffer......"

I really didn't expect Shou Jingfang to have this kind of means of making foreign money, Hong Yanwu was stunned when he heard it. However, when he was secretly surprised and admired, Shou Jingfang then mentioned "Frustrating Tiger Dragon" again.

“…… Alas, but it is true that I don't have an economic concept, otherwise if I save all the money for collecting these medicines, it will be enough to buy the "Frustrated Tiger Dragon......"

In this way, Hong Yanwu can no longer care about arguing about money. Because his father's illness is the focus of his visit today, he naturally has to seize the opportunity in front of him to ask first.

"Uncle Cousin, can you tell me what this 'Foiled Tiger Dragon' is?"

Hong Yanwu's attitude was very eager, and his body leaned forward sharply. This sudden action startled Shou Jingfang. However, he also understood quite well, and then told everything he knew one by one to solve the doubts in Hong Yanwu's heart.

Dare to love this "frustrated tiger dragon", in fact, is another name for cherishing sea fish.

It is rumored that this thing is the transformation of the heavenly sin dragon, so it grows near Snake Island in Liaodong, in a water area where cold and warm intersect and the temperature difference is very large, so as to suffer from the combination of ice and cold.

Of course, in this environment, the growth of this creature is also extremely slow, growing at most an inch a year, and it takes about 100 years from juvenile to adult.

However, it is precisely because of the particularity of this growth environment and way that this kind of marine fish is born with the ability to regulate yin and yang, dissolve poison and eliminate siltation, and is a rare treasure for treating sores, tumors, and liver and kidney diseases.

In the Qing Dynasty, in fact, the "frustration of the tiger and dragon" has always been the item that the Heilongjiang general must pay regular tribute to the imperial court in addition to the "Haidongqing" and "sturgeon fish". For this reason, the Liaodong garrison sends several hunting teams every year to stay on Snake Island for a long time, looking for fish day and night.

Speaking of this, Shou Jingfang shook his head, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

"It is indeed a divine object, the water dries itself, it does not rot or rot, as long as you have it, your father's illness can be cured. It's a real pity, the only medicine primer that can be found has been bought by others...... Having said that, I have been cured of incurable diseases all my life, and this disease is nothing, if I had gone to your house earlier, it would not have been delayed...... It's all my fault, just for those things back then...... Your father and I grew up together, and our friendship is no less than that of our own brothers......"

Hong Yanwu heard his mother talk about some of the situation back then, and when he saw Shou Jingfang's true feelings revealed at this time, he was also very sad, so he took the initiative to speak out to comfort him.

"Uncle Cousin, all of this is caused by special historical reasons, and it is not your fault. In fact, my father's illness is still possible thanks to you. Besides, now that this is the case, it's useless for us to be sad, the most important thing is whether we can find this medicine elsewhere. For example, what if you go to the origin of Liaodong Snake Island......"

"It's a good idea, but it's not easy to talk about......"

Faced with Hong Yanwu's question, Shou Jingfang sighed deeply, and then told him how difficult it was to capture the "Frustrated Tiger Dragon".

It turns out that this fish is not only extremely scarce, but also appears only in shallow waters in late autumn and winter. And his temperament is extremely fierce, with scales like blades all over his body, and his swimming speed is also amazingly fast. If an ordinary fisherman encounters it, let alone manages to catch it, he may not have time to escape. Often the small boat will be crashed and destroyed, and once a person falls into the sea, he will also be buried in the belly of the fish under the "thousand cuts".

Therefore, capturing the "frustrated tiger and dragon" has become the most difficult task for the Heilongjiang generals of the Qing Dynasty. The correct way to catch fish is to first send a large number of ships to find the fish in time after the autumn, and then send a large number of soldiers to the sea with iron nets to block them in the icy water.

Therefore, in the past, the Liaodong banner soldiers would have a lot of losses every year. It was not until the Jiaqing Dynasty in the middle of the Qing Dynasty that the royal family was sympathetic and completely exempted from this tribute, and the soldiers under the command of the Heilongjiang general were relieved from this kind of hard labor.

It's just that since then, there has been no entry and exit in the imperial pharmacy, and this thing has become less and less. Later, when Cixi was in power, even the Forbidden City was completely gone. If it weren't for the temporary fishing, it would have been too late, and the people couldn't find it, so the Tongzhi Emperor wouldn't have died if he had the "bayberry sore......

Hearing this, Hong Yanwu completely understood that this "Frustrated Tiger Dragon" is indeed a life-saving treasure that can only be obtained by luck at the cost of people's lives. Since it is difficult for folk fishermen to catch fish, I am afraid that even in the place of origin may not be able to find it.

However, in any case, there is still such a thing in the world, and there is a silver lining. If he didn't try his luck, then he really couldn't feel at ease.

So he thought about it and quickly made a decision.

"Uncle Cousin, now that the other family has sold it, what else can I do? Seriously, born as a son of man, I can't let my father die behind closed doors purely by luck, right? I have to take the initiative to do something, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep and eat. So I have to go to Snake Island for a run, I don't believe that a living person can suffocate urine. I've always felt that there are always better opportunities in the local area than here. Besides, I really can't, I can still try to catch it, after all, it's the age of machinery, and if I'm lucky, I don't know if I really want to catch a ready-made one. But I'm worried about my father's health, how long will he last, can you give me a word?"

Shou Jingfang was quite surprised when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Hong Yanwu to say this. However, he was really touched by Hong Yanwu's determination, and after looking at Hong Yanwu deeply. also looked upright and told without concealment.

"Two years, I guarantee that your father will live for at least two years! and as long as you can retrieve the 'Frustrated Tiger Dragon' during this time, I will be able to cure your father!"
