The first time, the master
Everything was ready, Li Lao picked up his wine glass, looked back at the old man's tablet, nodded as if communicating, and said to us. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Today's visit to the old friend, I don't want people to pass away, the owner of the life can be said to have experienced strong winds and waves, but also a rare wise man in the world, my old man will host this family banquet on his behalf today, come, let's first toast the owner of a cup!"
After that, we raised our wine glasses and tilted our necks against the old man's tablet.
Li Lao closed his eyes and pursed his mouth, his eyebrows furrowed and slowly relaxed, and he said to the slag with a smile.
"When your grandfather was dying, he told me that he could take away a few books from his collection, hahaha, no, I'm also old, and I don't have the mind to study, in a blink of an eye, this year is the fifty-seventh year that I have known your grandfather, more than half a century, life is really like a white horse, fleeting. I'm very happy to see you two today, and I met the uncle's little friend in the mouth of the owner, come, friends of the four of us, have a drink! ”
When Linglong heard the word "uncle", she blushed and looked at Li Lao complainingly, but I had a special sense of intimacy with the old man in front of me.
"Li Lao, although the kid is the first time to see you, but I feel very kind, this time back to the village, and slag, Linglong renew the friendship, I am also very happy, especially to hear Linglong say that you are a living immortal, do not hide from you, I have been particularly interested in mysterious things since I was a child, and I have also experienced some, and I hope to get your advice. Boy, I wish you a glass of wine and wish you good health and good luck! ”
"Hahaha, this uncle's conversation is quite in the style of an owner, your grandmother told me about you, you can force the famous Xiahou to go back to the yin, and the noble person in your life is unspeakably prosperous."
"Huh? You heard my grandmother say, that time was really dangerous, if it wasn't for my grandmother to save me, it is estimated that the kid would have died a long time ago. This time I went to visit my grandmother, she said that she felt that her longevity was about to end, and said that she would come to pick me up in person when I died. ”
"Human nature, but your grandmother has already come out of the book of life and death, if you choose to leave, then you are really too lazy to live. After going to the yin for you that year, the end of the year was my three-year appointment with Grandpa Slag, and the three of us talked about your situation, and we all agreed that you have a great opportunity to solve the doubts in our hearts, so after that meeting, Grandpa Slag told me to meet you in person. ”
"Are you talking about the two treasures of the female ghost family? If you combine the experience of Grandpa Slag and the secret that Grandma told me, then, the big opportunity you are talking about should be related to chaos, right? ”
Li Lao nodded appreciatively, and the slag hurriedly answered on the side.
"Grandpa Li, I heard grandpa say that the two of you definitely met a strange fate."
"Oh? Tell me, how did the old ghost arrange me? If you listen to it, I'll tell you a secret. ”
In 1934, the twenty-third year of the Republic of China, it was another springless year.
In March, Pu Yi ascended the throne again, the puppet state of Manchukuo was established, and the RB people occupied North China in a big way, accelerating the pace of all-out aggression against China, but ****** still pursued the policy of securing the outside world before securing the interior, while the Communist Party suffered a heavy defeat in the fifth anti-encirclement campaign and had to start the Long March.
This year, GD continued to drought, crops died, eighty percent of cultivated land did not harvest, all said that the blessing is unequaled to the disaster is not a single line, and the outbreak of insect plague in the great drought, there are nearly 100 insects on a single plant in many areas, and the insect swarm will fly down to the next place after gnawing a field, among which the central and western regions of GD are the most serious.
The catastrophe directly led to the soaring price of grain, even the most expensive grain price in ordinary years, in just one week that year it soared more than 5 times, the people are the most pitiful, the family has finished storing grain, and can not afford to buy market grain, so they eat bran, wild vegetables, mountain fruits to fill their stomachs, but there are too many victims, and finally there is nothing to eat, so they pick up the ancestors' Guanyin soil and hard rice, and some even fill the hunger with water and finally swelling and die.
In the face of famine, human nature has completely degenerated into primitive animal instincts, eating human flesh occurs almost everywhere, and some people are crazy to make profits, by luring stray children to kill them, and then make meat to sell, falsely claiming to be wild things in the mountains. Many women had to become prostitutes, and those with many children simply sold them to wealthy families for a bag of rice.
However, in the face of the catastrophe, the Nationalist Government was almost helpless, firstly, the war against Japan and the encirclement and suppression caused a serious shortage of materials, and secondly, the main transportation routes were occupied by the military, and there were famines of different scales in GSSXSX and other places, which made the Nationalist Government even worse.
People who were unable to receive relief had to flee from their homes, but the entire province was starved to death on the road, and countless people were infected with the disease.
At that time, the old man was 34 years old, and he had been taking refuge in the south for four years, and he and his family had been living in seclusion in the border of Maoming County, which was located in the west of GD and bordered by the South China Sea, and did not fall until the end of the Anti-Japanese War.
After the 9.18 incident, the old man saw the current situation thoroughly, and the iron cavalry of the RB people must be like a bamboo, and he knew the history best that once the war began, food was the most important, so he used the money he brought to buy land and kept digging holes in his own house to store grain.
However, according to the old man's temperament, he couldn't see the poor people suffering, and saw the crowds of victims fleeing, so he decided to take out more than half of the family's grain to help the victims.
First, only the elderly and children are allowed to come and eat in front of the canopy area, and are not allowed to take it away.
Second, adult men and women all go to work in the fields, whether it is to build city defenses or dig wells and ditches, and they are uniformly fed with the signatures that are completed every day.
Third, all the dying patients are quarantined, diagnosed and treated by the local Langzhong, and if they die, they must be cremated to avoid the outbreak of the epidemic.
Historically, there have been many problems in disaster relief, and if only the food relief is considered, those victims will either become idlers who ask for food, or they will steal and take more than they can handle, and how much food will not fill the hole. But as soon as the old man's three tricks came out, he considered the arrangement comprehensively, so the problem was solved.
In this way, the support of the old and the young, the relief of work and the control of the epidemic have not only completed good deeds, but also created a large number of labor in the county.
Sure enough, the remaining big households also agreed, and they all took out their own food reserves to join the ranks of disaster relief. And the proximity to GX to purchase grain has also been helped by the good businessmen there, and in just two months, Maoming County has begun to stabilize.
One day, the old man took Lao Ba to inspect the disaster relief site as usual, and he was most concerned about those who were sick or dying, so he asked about the situation in Langzhong in the rescue area.
As soon as I entered, I saw Lang Zhong rushing over to say that a person had come recently, saying that he was in his forties, but he was only in his early thirties.
At first, Lang Zhong was very disgusted, thinking that Zuo was a little liar who knew how to cheat, and lied that he had been cheated to eat and drink, but when he saw that this person was not bad, and his body was indeed tormented by famine, he was emaciated and weak, so he turned a blind eye and allowed him to eat.
However, on the third day, Lang found that the patients who had been doing the exercises in his hands were looking very good, and some seriously ill people were able to sit up and eat after the exercises for three consecutive days, so they became more and more interested in this person. However, the old man was dealing with other areas every morning, and he only came here in the afternoon, so he didn't meet this person.
When the old man heard this, his interest increased greatly, and he told Lang Zhong that this person would come again tomorrow afternoon, let him treat the victims first, and he would also disguise himself as a patient and blend in to see if this guy had real skills.
Early the next morning, the old man asked the eighth child to put on his own makeup, and then asked Lang Zhong to arrange a safe place for him to avoid contracting the disease, so he took the eighth child and a few people around and pretended to wait for the person.
Sure enough, as soon as noon arrived, the person appeared at the entrance, Lang Zhong hurriedly greeted him, the old man looked at it, and couldn't help but admire, this person is definitely not a liar who knows the door, the eyes are deep and quiet and full of compassion, the long beard is fluttering, the waist is straight and the jaw is slightly closed, a pair of arms seem to be hanging by the side as if there is support, and listen to him and Lang Zhong dialogue, the voice is full of qi, more peculiar, the frequency of his abdomen ups and downs, is several times less than Lang Zhong, this is obviously an extremely long breath, if it is not real kung fu, it is absolutely impossible to be so natural.
But this person really didn't dare to compliment what he was wearing, and the background color of the cloth was no longer visible, as if he hadn't changed it for many years, but it was definitely not the kind that was dirty in the desert, it was simply a decolorization after repeated washing.
Seeing that he nodded to Lang Zhong, he ticked a few people on the roster, and sat down in his own treatment area, which he also built by himself, very simple, with a wooden frame around him falling a hanging curtain, a wooden plank in it, and a wooden bed next to it.
Lang Zhong led people to carry the patients over one by one according to the roster, and they hurried over to help, helping the patient to lie on the wooden bed, and saw that the person was obviously acquainted with the patient, with a smile on his face, and the patient's eyes were full of gratitude, and then he sat cross-legged, let others out, put down the curtain and treated alone.
As soon as the curtain was lowered, the old man was in a hurry, and he couldn't see anything in it.
It turned out that every time the person exercised, he would ask the patient about the situation, and then stood up and put his right palm on the patient's body surface a few centimeters, walked slowly from head to toe, and then directly said what was wrong, and then checked with Lang Zhong, Lang Zhong felt amazed every time, did not call the pulse or press, just palmed it and said it accurately.
After the diagnosis, the person crossed his legs and told the patient not to panic if he felt anything, just close his eyes and recuperate, and then the palm of his left hand was upward to support the dantian, the five fingers of the right hand were naturally separated, the eyes were slightly closed, and slowly placed on the lesion.
After grasping the lesion, the person's right hand stood up again as if he had grabbed a needle, and lifted and rolled it in the big acupoint of treatment, as if there was really a silver needle, and the patient's limbs also followed the ups and downs and trembled, and finally, the person raised his left hand above his head, and his right hand rose and fell on the patient's dantian.
After two or three days, the condition of some patients improved significantly, especially those who were emaciated by hunger, and they were obviously full of vitality, and those with serious lesions gradually eased up.
The old man smiled and looked at the patient at the door, beckoned the old man to calm down, and waited until the last patient came out, and then made a noise to let them carry themselves into the curtain.
