Chapter Seventy-One: An Unexpected Surprise
Thank you to the Blood Lion Beast Emperor and the Prodigal Son of Color for their great support!
At dawn the next day, Chu Jiaqiang exercised as usual, and at this time, the big rooster in the village had already "oh oh" and only crowed. At the end of the day, I happened to meet Wan Lao, and the old people have the habit of getting up early.
"I didn't expect Jiaqiang to get up earlier than us old men, it's really rare!" Wan Lao praised.
It just so happened that Xu Xiu also got up, and she also got up on time, and made breakfast after washing. When she heard Wan Lao's words, she couldn't help laughing and said, "He! I get up so early every day to exercise, and I don't look like a young man at all. ”
"Haha! It's not early! It's past six o'clock, and when I used to study, I would get up on time at six o'clock, and I had to jump up at half past six at the latest. Chu Jiaqiang immediately snorted.
I continued to eat corn for breakfast, but after the night, the taste was not as good as last night, and sure enough, everything had to be fresh. After that, Chu Jiaqiang first gave Yan Tianzhi a massage, and then it was the turn of Wan Lao and the two of them, and he was a little embarrassed.
"That...... Wan Lao, your situation must be acupuncture, and doing massage can also have some effect, but I don't have any needles now, so I have to go to the town. Grandma Wan's asthma is stabilized with Chinese herbs first, and acupuncture can also be done, which is of little use. Chu Jiaqiang said.
He learned a few techniques of acupuncture, either taught by the old Taoist, or seen from the old Taoist's medical books, but without a needle, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!
In fact, there are many kinds of needles used in acupuncture, and the earliest prototype of acupuncture needles is the needle stone. Acupuncture treatment is like a person holding a sharp instrument in the oracle bone of Yin Shang to treat the patient's abdominal disease. Yin Shang to the Western Zhou Dynasty acupuncture treatment, or the use of stones, Sui Dynasty physician Quan Yuanqi believed: "Stone is the ancient method of external treatment,...... In ancient times, iron could not be cast, so the stone was used as a needle, so the needle stone of fate. ”
Later, gold needles and silver needles were used, but now gold needles and silver needles are rarely used, silver needles are softer, easy to break, and the cost is high. As a result, it is now basically stainless steel needles. Sometimes you may see yellow moxibustion needles, don't be sure that they are gold needles, they are probably stainless steel, and the outside is just plated with a layer of yellow copper or something.
Chu Jiaqiang suddenly thought of the old Taoist's different sets of moxibustion needles, as well as many medical books, etc., he didn't know if the old Taoist priest had taken these things away. The old Taoist priest lived at the foot of Rooster Mountain, Chu Jiaqiang remembered that there was a secret room where the old Taoist priest lived, and he knew it alone in the village, and many things were placed in it.
He thought to himself, when will I go over and take a look, since the old Taoist left, no one has been there, and it is also appropriate to clean up, how to say that the old Taoist priest is also half of his own master.
"Haha! I know that you are not prepared, I have prepared a set of golden needles. Wan Guoliang immediately took out a set of golden needles, when Chu Jiaqiang said that the first time he went to the doctor, he knew that Chu Jiaqiang did not have any medical equipment, so he found the best set to come over.
Chu Jiaqiang gave each of the two elders acupuncture for twenty minutes, and Wan Lao and the two obviously felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
At this time, the old village chief came on time to collect the money.
"How? Do you feel like it's working? The old village chief asked Wan Lao and his wife.
"Haha! The effect is remarkable! For the first time, I felt so relaxed, much more clever than those self-proclaimed doctors in the hospital. Wan Lao Lang smiled.
"That's good, it shows that this kid Jiaqiang can be regarded as having a bit of the true inheritance of the old Taoist." The old village chief is also happy, at least the people in the village have any illness, and they don't have to wash their necks and go outside to be slaughtered.
Chu Jiaqiang took out a bundle of money, 10,000 yuan: "Grandpa the village chief, you can order it!" There should be nothing wrong with taking it out of the credit union a few days ago. ”
Although I believe in Chu Jiaqiang, it is more appropriate to have clear accounts.
"You owe money to the old village chief?" Wan Weiling couldn't help asking.
"How can I build a road in the village, this is the money I donated." Chu Jiaqiang rolled his eyes.
When Wan Lao heard this, he nodded secretly, this village chief is a good person, he just said something inadvertently yesterday, and he immediately found a way to solve it. It can be seen that he is a responsible village chief. Now there are not many people like this pragmatic, and everyone outside is just thinking about political achievements.
Wan Guoliang also walked back and took out a bundle of money: "I'll donate 10,000 too!" Uncle Village Chief, you must accept it, we will come to Chujiazhai often in the future, and it will be convenient for us to repair the road. The most important thing is to implement it and do a good job. ”
The old village chief was shocked, obviously he didn't expect Wan Guoliang to play this play, and he was about to say a few words, but when he saw that Wan Guoliang said this, Wan Lao also nodded, so he had to solemnly accept it: "Okay!" I thank you on behalf of the villagers of Chujiazhai, and the road must be as good as possible. ”
"Uncle, I'll donate 2,000 too! Don't be too young! Yan Tianzhi also said that although he is now down, he can still handle 10,000 thousand.
The most important thing is that the medical expenses for coming here for treatment are not much, Chu Jiaqiang did not charge any fees at all, so he went to the town to buy the medicine himself, and did not spend much money. I really don't want to go, so I just donate some money to build roads in the village, which is considered to be a dedication. As long as the foot is healed, it is not difficult to turn over on your own.
"Oops! Thank you then! Many of them are really the nobles of our Chujiazhai. "The old village chief was so happy. It's really a surprise, 12,000 more, this time it's much more generous. He thought to himself, when the time comes to erect the road monument, add two more names to it, and the whole village will make a notice.
The old village chief did not linger long, and left in a hurry.
Then, Chu Jiaqiang slipped around the back of the house again, and then walked towards Jigong Mountain. Wan Guoliang and the others either enjoyed the shade under the big tree at the door, or went to the reservoir and river beach to play.
Coming to this familiar and unfamiliar place again, there are already some things that are different. Chu Jiaqiang is not a little concerned, and he has left a lot of memories here. I remembered that every time the old Taoist priest forced himself to look at some meridian diagrams and let him know various herbs, the pages of memory turned quickly.
The house was built against the mountain, and the back wall was the stone wall of the mountain, and the old Taoist priest dug a place into the stone wall behind it as a secret room. Of course, it is not as mysterious as the legendary mechanism or the like, except that the entrance is blocked by some stone bricks, and a tall wooden cabinet stands in front of it.
Chu Jiaqiang saw that the broom by the door had been corrupted, so he had to take out a broom in the mountain and river map, which was still thrown in the rental house at the beginning, and remained in the mountain and river map without moving.
The house is small and cleaned quickly. He removed the tall wooden cabinet, revealing the entrance to the stone wall, and dug out the stone bricks that had been blocked inside. It was dark inside, so I had to turn on the flashlight on my phone.
The inside is relatively dry and clean, and after sweeping around, I saw the candle on the side, and Chu Jiaqiang lit it.
To Chu Jiaqiang's surprise, the situation here has not changed much, all the previous things are left in place, and there are still a lot of dry medicinal materials stored in a cabinet containing medicine on the side.
There was a letter on the stone table in front of him, Chu Jiaqiang frowned slightly, walked over, picked it up and looked at it, and it was actually left for him. When he opened it, there were not many words in it, and he didn't explain the reason for leaving and where he went, but he just said that he would leave the things in it to him, especially those medical books, and hoped that Chu Jiaqiang could study them seriously. He specifically mentioned in his heart that the Heart Saving Pill he had refined could hang his life, and even save the life of sudden death, and he hoped that the Chu family would use it carefully.
Chu Jiaqiang sighed, he had never called the old Taoist master or teacher, but he was treated as the only disciple by the old Taoist. Pack up the things, a few bottles of pills, medicinal herbs, and even a few calligraphy and paintings, some jade porcelain and other gadgets.
