Chapter 73: The Story of Seed and Motherwort
So how did this McCroce know?
Did you lose sight? Does this Bruce McRung really have a deep study of Chinese medicine? If that's the case, then it's a good explanation for why he slept in his class.
Because my classes are all centered on identifying some of the most basic herbs and introducing their medicinal effects, these things are full of mysteries for novices, but for a person who is good at Chinese medicine, it is really a boring thing!
Thinking of this, a trace of expectation flashed in Wu Wei's eyes, and he was very curious, how would this Mai Xiaolong introduce this ordinary-looking motherwort?
At this time, the classroom was also silent, everyone looked at Mai Xiaolong quietly, and Shao Meiqian's eyes were full of trust.
Shao Meiqian believes that since Mai Xiaolong is willing to step onto the podium, it means that he has a certain degree of certainty, these people don't understand Mai Xiaolong's ability, but she Shao Meiqian has understood.
Even a terminal disease like cancer can be easily overcome in the hands of Mai Xiaolong, not to mention just introducing some basic herbs!
In front of everyone's eyes, Mai Xiaolong quickly spoke, but to everyone's surprise, he did not directly introduce the efficacy of Zimucao, but told a story.
In order to make him remember Chinese herbal medicine, his grandfather can be said to have taken great pains to turn the prescription into a children's rhyme, and even made up many medicinal materials into stories.
Of course, there are also some stories that have been handed down since ancient times.
And the legend of this motherwort is one of the things that has been handed down since ancient times.
In this story, when the wanderer received the news of his mother's serious illness, he immediately rushed home, but when he returned home, he found that his mother was terminally ill and incurable.
When the wanderer was cornered, an immortal appeared.
The immortal gave the wanderer a fairy grass, saying that it could save the life of the wanderer's mother, but the premise was to use the wanderer's heart and blood as medicine.
The wanderer decisively agreed to the request of the immortals, dug out his heart with his own hands, and made a medicine guide.
The strange thing is that after the wanderer lost his heart, he did not die immediately, but waited for the medicine to be taken by his mother and woke up, and he fell to the ground with a smile on his face after losing his heart.
After knowing what happened, Youzi's mother was heartbroken and chose to commit suicide while holding Youzi's body.
The matter of the two people touched the local county official, and the county official immediately ordered their mother and son to be buried thickly, and personally carved a big word "filial piety" on the tombstone.
Three years have passed, the plague has risen, the corpses are all over the field, the people are not living, at this time, one day there was thunder, torrential rain, and so on the next day, a lang found that around the tomb of the mother and son, densely grew many plants that had never been seen before, after picking them off and putting them into medicine, they miraculously eliminated the plague!
Since then, this Chinese herbal medicine has been called Zimucao, and the legend of Zimucao has been handed down.
When telling this story, Mai Xiaolong's voice was very low and his tone was very solemn, as if he was talking about something he had seen himself.
McBruce has a talent for storytelling, and he appropriately intersperses the weather and environment at that time to describe the wanderer's heartbreak to save his mother, his mother's heartbreak, and the cheers of the people when the plague is under control.
By the time he finished the story, there was already a glimmer of tears in the corners of his eyes. Silently wiping the corners of his eyes, he quietly looked at the classmates sitting below.
The whole classroom was silent.
In a moment, a slap sounded, it was Shao Meiqian! At this time, Shao Meiqian's eyes were full of emotion, and her eyes were slightly red. Shao Meiqian's applause broke the silence of the entire classroom, so people immediately responded with warm applause.
Many people also began to talk about it.
"I didn't expect that this ordinary-looking motherwort still has this kind of legend."
"Yes! It's just so poignant. ”
Many female classmates even shed tears because of this.
And Wu Wei couldn't help but slap his face, with excitement on his face. He walked up to Bruce McCkey's side, then patted him on the shoulder, and said in an impassioned tone, "Good! I really didn't expect that there would be such a legend about Zimucao! In fact, I have heard a lot of stories about Chinese herbal medicine, but this time it is the most touching one I have heard! ”
Mai Xiaolong smiled and said, "I also got it by hearsay. ”
The classmates all laughed, but the girls looked at Mai Xiaolong's eyes, adding a touch of strange color.
Jia Zhensheng was also stunned at this time, and he was also moved by Mai Xiaolong's story. But soon he sneered, and then said loudly, "Mai Xiaolong, are you on the podium just to tell a story?" What does this prove? ”
Mai Xiaolong couldn't help frowning and glanced at Jia Zhensheng, and a few female classmates in the audience turned their heads to look at Jia Zhensheng with a disgusted gaze, and some discussions also quietly sounded.
"This Jia Zhensheng is so annoying!"
"Yes! What's wrong with Bruce McT! What a story he tells! ”
"I think it's just that Class Leader Jia is jealous! He couldn't tell such a wonderful story! ”
Even Wu Wei's eyes when he looked at Jia Zhensheng were full of dissatisfaction, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth to reprimand, "Jia Zhensheng, am I a teacher, or are you a teacher?" That's pretty much enough! ”
Jia Zhensheng's face flushed, he didn't expect that just one story would greatly change everyone's impression of Bruce Mai, and he was about to argue a few words unconvinced, but Mai Xiaolong spoke at this time.
He smiled slightly, and said to Wu Wei, "Teacher Wu, it doesn't matter, anyway, I also want to discuss with my classmates the usefulness of this motherwort." ”
As soon as he said this, the classmates below immediately cheered, and many of the female classmates couldn't wait to say, "Mai Xiaolong, start quickly!" ”
Wu Wei also nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, Wu Wei was ready to relieve the siege for Mai Xiaolong, just for the story that Mai Xiaolong said. can tell such a touching story from an ordinary Chinese herb, whether this story is made up by him or real, you can see that this Mai Xiaolong is not a bad person.
At the very least, he is a Chinese with a conscience!
Wu Wei is not only an old teacher, but also an old doctor, he knows how important conscience is for a doctor!
If the doctor is not proficient, he can learn it, but if the doctor has no conscience, then it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a moth of society!
However, from Mai Xiaolong's attitude at this time, Wu Wei knew that Mai Xiaolong didn't need to solve the siege by himself at all.
