Qin Xiao's home is not very far from the provincial capital, and it is an hour's drive into the city. Qin Xiao's uncle Qin Yong was a soldier in the provincial military region, and his grandfather Qin Yuhan lived with him.

Qin Xiao often comes to the provincial capital, and among all the provincial capitals, today's provincial capital can be said to be not a metropolis, and many Shandong people, including the locals of the provincial capital, criticize this. But Qin Xiao didn't see it that way.

Lao She once wrote: Baotu Spring, Thousand Buddha Mountain, and Daming Lake are the three major scenic spots of JN.

Nowadays, traffic congestion and environmental pollution lead to the reputation of this beautiful "spring city" is not as good as before, "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake" is almost just the artistic conception of the poem itself.

However, Qin Xiao feels that a city can't just look at its past, nor can it only look at its surface, and it is true that some cities have sprung up and become the best in the country, but the provincial city, as a famous cultural city, does have its unique charm, and it doesn't make much sense for you to go to a city to see her landmark buildings and her signboard reputation, in fact, it is like a woman putting on makeup, putting on beautiful clothes, and letting you appreciate it under the beautiful lights. The real urban culture is in the middle of the city, in the alleys.

If you go to Zhang Dongmu's former residence to see those old photos, and go to the river of Tongyuan Bureau to enjoy the fog, you will understand that this is the true face of the provincial capital. In fact, culturally speaking, Beijing, Xi'an, Luoyang and Nanjing should be called "capital", and the provincial capitals, Fuzhou, and Taiyuan should be called "Fu". If the provincial capitals of the whole country are divided by this criterion, they can be called "fu", that is, cities with more magnificent names -- there are very few cities with such magnificent names, and some even those big financial cities can only stand aside.

Qin Xiao now goes to the provincial capital, every time he has to patronize a famous Lu cuisine shop that is extremely inconspicuous on Zhou Gongci Street, speaking of this small shop, there is only one dish - yellow stewed chicken rice, if only one dish is used to open a store, everyone may think this is crazy, but in the provincial capital, this is how it came. As long as you go around the city of Jin, walk around the north altar, you will find that the people of the provincial capital drink under the locust tree under the broken eaves of the house, and you will understand how leisurely and comfortable the city is. There is also the meat of the hand, we say "popular", in fact, the root is the way to make this kind of meat.

Seeing his grandson, Qin Yuhan thought he was very happy, but he saw that his grandson was not only thinner but also darker, but his appearance was more handsome and mature.

Qin Xiao told his grandfather about his recent work, and his grandfather said he was very satisfied. He asked about his grandfather's current situation again, and his uncle told him that his grandfather's body was getting worse day by day, but Old Man Qin was still arrogant, refused to obey the old man, and kept laughing with his grandson, whether he still used a cane to pick Qin Xiao a few times, but Qin Xiao felt that the strength of the previous wheel was much smaller than before, so he deliberately pretended not to dodge it, and took a few blows from his grandfather.

Qin Xiao said that the purpose of coming this time was to manage several leprosy gangrene in his hospital, and even the elderly with diabetic symptoms needed to change dressing and treatment in time to curb gangrene, and asked his grandfather if there was any good way.

Qin Yuhan sat in a wheelchair, hesitated for a long time, and said:

"Actually, all my Chinese medicine attainments have been handed over to you, but there is indeed one thing I haven't told you, that is, the 'Seven Spirits Flower Scattering' you asked last time." Qin Yuhan coughed for a while and continued:

"In fact, this Qiling Flower Powder is a topical prescription, which can also be taken orally, specifically for the treatment of traumatic healing, and is composed of seven kinds of herbs such as safflower and Tianqi, which have the best effect both internally and externally. It is said to be the recipe in Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Book", after the "Green Capsule Book" was lost, this recipe was handed down and compiled into the "Siku Quanshu" by Qianlong, and by chance, it was obtained by your grandfather's grandfather, that is, my grandfather. Qin Yuhan was fascinated and looked at the sky outside the window.

"This is just a volume recorded in the "Siku Quanshu", although the other recipes are also famous ancient recipes, but everyone in my generation also knows it, it is not surprising, only the recipe of the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter, firstly, it is from the hand of Hua Tuo, and secondly, the effect of this recipe can indeed be said to be miraculous, therefore, our Qin family has been secret. In fact, before the ancestor of our Qin family practiced medicine, that is, Langzhong, who hung the pot to help the world and walked the rivers and lakes, he didn't have much reputation, but since this recipe was obtained by my grandfather, it became famous, which is also the reason why our Qin family has been able to practice medicine for generations to have such achievements. ”

Qin Yuhan suddenly stopped talking, and motioned for his son Qin Yong to go out, and when there was no one in the house, he said to Qin Xiao:

It is precisely because this is a good thing that many people have the heart to covet it, and the Zhang family has been trying their best to get this recipe. But all they get is the external formula, which is actually very simple, and the most complicated is the internal formula. ”

Qin Xiao couldn't help asking, "Could it be that this internal recipe is more than just these seven flavor medicines, and it is very complicated to restrain each other?" ”

Qin Yuhan smiled and said, "Of course, it's just this seven-flavor medicine, why don't you still call it Seven Spirit Flowers?" It seems that you still haven't learned the essence, the simpler the recipe, the more knowledgeable it is in the combination of the monarch and the minister, but there is a strychnine in this recipe, the processing process is very complicated, the slightest heat is not enough, it will be toxic, and the strict zhòng can kill people, the fire is over, the effect of the medicine is greatly reduced, and the medicine can not be removed. ”

(Author's note: Chinese medicine prescriptions are purely fictitious according to the characteristics of Chinese herbal medicines, please do not believe the truth, please follow the guidance of the physician of a regular Chinese medicine medical institution to use the medicine, do not self-medicate, if there are strict consequences, will not be responsible!) ）

Qin Xiao nodded knowingly and said:

"I see."

"But when we prescribe this flavor medicine again, the internal medicine has been cured and developed into a powder, and it is just a prescription for external use, so outsiders don't know about it at all. Moreover, even if you watch me dispense medicine, if I don't tell me how much I want to dose and how much heat I concoct, you won't be able to learn. Qin Yuhan continued:

"Today, since you want to cure the disease and save people, I can't help but tell you, but you remember, you can only keep in mind the process of concocting this recipe, and you can't resort to writing, once it is leaked, there will be villains who will immediately come to trouble you."

So Qin Yuhan lowered his voice and knelt next to Qin Xiao's ear to tell Qin Xiao the dose, method, temperature, and hour of the entire recipe, and instructed Qin Xiao to memorize it three times until he knew that he remembered it accurately.

Qin Yuhan breathed a long sigh of relief and said:

"As long as I tell you this, I can leave with peace of mind."

Qin Xiao hurriedly interrupted his grandfather's words and said:

"Grandpa, what are you talking about, talking about Fangzi, how do you talk about death."

Qin Yuhan smiled, ignored it, and continued: "Actually, we have been fighting with the Zhang family for several generations for this recipe, and I am also tired, I really don't want you to get involved anymore, but creation makes people, this recipe must be passed on, the world is unpredictable, you also want to be a doctor with benevolence and be a low-key person, understand?" ”

Qin Xiao nodded solemnly. Qin Yuhan continued:

"Actually, the last time you were still in school, I didn't celebrate the New Year at home, saying that I came to the provincial capital to meet the old man, but in fact it was my cousin Qin Yuxiang, he said that he wanted revenge, and I refused. I don't want to say more about my grandfather, your great-grandfather, and your parents, I don't want to let your uncle and aunt know, that's what it means, now that your uncle is in the army, there will be no danger, your aunt is also married to another country, and the Zhang family will not be embarrassed, the grievances of the two families are so understood, you don't have to ask anymore. ”

Qin Xiao was about to ask about these things, but when he saw his grandfather say this, he had no choice but to stop, even if he wanted to know, there was nothing he could do.

Coming back from the provincial capital, although Qin Xiao asked for a prescription, the doubts in his heart were even greater, for the secrets of the generations of the Seven Spirits Flower Scattering, like a luminous jellyfish in the water, because of the flow of water waves, the light was more charming, and Qin Xiao became more and more curious.

Time flies, a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and another year's spring has come. After several months of hard work, he and his colleagues screened out more than a dozen leprosy patients in various towns and villages in the county on the basis of screening in previous years, and gave treatment and follow-up.

However, they don't have to run around the mountains and mountains every day, as long as a person regularly carries a medicine box to change the medicine for patients who are recuperating at home, they are gradually familiar with the road, and more importantly, they are more aware of their own value, every time they go to the village, the villagers affectionately call them living bodhisattvas, which makes them feel very happy.

Today, Qin Xiao wanted to go to Xiyu Village alone to change the medicine for Uncle Song Qinsheng, he prepared the internal and external Qiling Flower Powder according to the method that his grandfather said, and gave it to Uncle Song, after several courses of treatment, sure enough, the Seven Spirit Flower Powder has a miraculous effect, gangrene has been contained, and it is estimated that after a while, it will be completely healed.

However, Zhang Zhengguo, the boss of Zhang's Pharmaceutical Group, also learned about this and was pacing in the office. His son Zhang Haojian also rushed over and personally said that Qin Xiao was now in the infectious disease hospital, and he didn't know what method was used to put many gangrene patients with physical disabilities in their condition to improve rapidly.

Zhang Zhenguo asked, "Are you sure this is the effect of the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter?" ”

Zhang Haojian picked up a banana and opened the skin and ate it, and when he saw his father asking like this, he couldn't help but say a little impatiently:

"Surely, Dad, although I am not very studious, I also know that this gangrene, especially in patients with diabetes, is difficult to heal if the wound is broken, let alone limb gangrene! - That's basically going to be amputated, originally leprosy made these hillbillies have not much left of their arms and legs, and they can't amputate their limbs at all, but Qin Xiao actually cured the gangrene of many diabetic patients, this is not the evil Seven Spirits Flower Scatter that you told me since I was a child, what else can it be. He threw the banana peel on the table and continued:

"To be honest, Dad, you have said for so many years how good the Seven Spirit Flowers are, but the external medicine we have created has not seen such a good curative effect, and it is thanks to the good advertising that it has been profitable in the past few years. But this time, ......" Zhang Haojian said with a more solemn face: "This time I can be regarded as knowledgeable, I don't believe that you can send someone to see the few diseases he treated, the effect can really be said to be a resurrection, I am sure that it is the seven spirits scattered!" ”

Zhang Zhengguo held a few strings of Buddhist beads in his hand and said lightly to his son: "I know, you can go." Oh yes......" he remembered something, and continued:

"What's the matter with you and that little nurse named He Jing, I tell you, it's okay to play, but don't come to the real thing. At the beginning, I saw that you wanted to help me deal with Qin Xiao, so I let you get close to her, this matter is in the past, I don't want such a daughter-in-law with no background, I will disperse as soon as possible, or I won't give you a penny from now on! Do you hear that? ”

Zhang Haojian couldn't help but be a little unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't dare to talk back, he knew that his father could do what he said, if this old guy really cut off his monthly rations, it would be troublesome, so he just nodded resignedly and went out.

Qin Xiao arrived at the Daixi River, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and went into the river. Although it is the beginning of spring, the snow and ice have not completely thawed, but there is no other way to cross the river nearby, so you can only wade barefoot. The cold river water made Qin Xiao suddenly feel cold to the bone, but when he recalled the situation of fishing reasonably in winter, he was fascinated and forgot the coldness of the river.

Qin Xiao found a big rock, dried the water on his feet, put on his shoes and socks, and continued to walk, singing songs on the way. The surrounding is a dusk world, the surrounding trees are bare, and they have not yet seen life, the spring is cold, and the north wind is still cool with a hint of coolness, if you have tried to sing or shout in the wilderness, people will know how refreshing it is to take a long roar from the dantian.

If it is in the middle of the city, this will attract a lot of "attention", but in the wilderness, your voice will only speak to the wind, and your long howl will only shout to the heavens and the earth. - This really thinks of the aristocratic dog in "The Wild Calling", but the cry is not sad, but love.

It was noon when I arrived at Xiyu Village, so I walked all the way inside, and the whole village was in a valley, with mountains to the north, rivers to the south, and mountains to the south. After a while, I arrived at Uncle Song's house, and now the collapsed house was rebuilt and strengthened by the government, and the cattle and sheep outside the door did not make a sound, as if reporting that someone from the owner was coming.

Xiwa also poked her head out and saw Qin Xiao's arrival, and suddenly rushed out of the door and threw herself into Qin Xiao's arms. Qin Xiao hadn't seen this little brother for a long time, touched his head, and asked him if he had been disobedient recently, and if he was naughty.

When he arrived at the house, the old man Song Qinsheng sat on the kang and said with a smile on his face:

"Come, kid, sit down, rest for a while, drink some hot water to warm up."

Qin Xiao hurriedly thanked him, and checked the old man's condition, he was indeed almost healed, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Seven Spirit Flower Scatter can actually heal the wound with leprosy and high blood sugar so well, it is really a miracle medicine.

Qin Xiao asked the old man: "Xiwa, this child can take care of you now, but now that he is seven years old and is almost of school age, you will have to find someone to take care of you in the future, so it is better to contact a nursing home." ”

The old man shook his head and said: "I'm used to being alone, I'm not used to seeing people, this is good, although I have no hands and feet now, but the people in the village are also willing to come to help do this and that, action, eating are also very good practice, don't believe you look." As he spoke, he took a sip of water with his stump holding the water cup.

Qin Xiao also knew that once lepers were alienated, they were prone to form a lonely character, and since they couldn't make sense, it was up to the old man.

After Qin Xiao changed the medicine for Uncle Song, he took out the vegetables, meat and eggs he bought, made lunch, and helped the uncle's water tank to fill it with water.

Seeing that Uncle Song's house was no longer full of stench and filth, and there were no mosquitoes and flies flying everywhere and sewage everywhere, he also declined Uncle Song's invitation to leave him for lunch, and left with confidence.
