Chapter 01: Dahuatang

Next Chapter

It rained very heavily, with a hint of autumn coolness.

The wind swept through the sky, and the chaotic rain and fog flew all over the sky, and in this atmosphere, the neon lights of the flowers and wine were particularly dazzling.

Hua Tao stomped his feet, wrapped up his old suit, and tried to shrink his body into the corner, although he was wearing heavy rain boots, the rain pillars flying on the eaves and the water curtain from the car still splashed his large trouser rolls.

"It's the ninth day!"

Hua Tao gritted his teeth and looked up at the large vermilion plaque above his head, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart. The plaque is heavy, one zhang long, and there are three majestic big golden characters inlaid in the center - Dahuatang.

"Alas, it's really domineering and mighty! I, Hua Tao, can really worship under the divine doctor, and it is not in vain for my father's hard work. Hua Tao muttered and withdrew his envious gaze.

He stayed under the Dahua Hall for nine days, but unfortunately the door was closed from beginning to end, and he was unable to enter the hall, let alone see the master he wanted to meet. The lights in the hall were on from beginning to end, the medicine cabinets were lined up, and the goods were in order, not looking like something was wrong.

Originally, he was supposed to sit in the library with a book in his hand, or lie on the bed in the student apartment and enjoy the rain. But the sudden change made him have to give up his dream, and with a letter of worship and his father's last wish, he went to Dahuatang.

He was an orphan who had died at the age of 10, and his father had fallen in the cotton field a month earlier. When he received the notice from Dongda, his father still had a breath, he took the notice tremblingly, didn't look at anything, kneaded it into a ball with all his strength, and swallowed it directly into his abdomen. stared at Hua Tao with a desperate gaze, and did not withdraw that gaze until he finally breathed.

Hua Tao didn't exclaim, he understood his father's thoughts, so he silently kowtowed and sent his father away. wiped away his tears, exchanged the three acres of thin land left by his father for a thousand travel expenses, carried the Huaxing worship sticker, traveled thousands of miles, came to Shendu, and came to Dahua Hall.

Diagonally across the road, there is a huge electronic screen hanging on the golden wall of the 'Huangtian International Club', a sweet girl in a white dress is singing affectionately, and the sweet song passes through the rain curtain and falls into Hua Tao's heart, making him warm and full of hope.

"It's so beautiful, if only I could be with her!" Hua Tao looked at the girl in the white dress on the screen and couldn't help whispering to himself.

"Well, she is indeed beautiful, but she is a little star, and many sons and young people are her fans, you can only look at it, you can't touch it." Under the eaves, there was an extra woman in red, she took the red silk umbrella and turned to look at the screen.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a goose egg face, picturesque eyebrows, and her hair coiled behind her head, revealing a hint of precociousness. Dressed in a red hakama, a red silk shirt, red high heels, a large bow on the chest, and the flowing lace covered the two small jade peaks. The whole jade face is a little similar to the girl in the white dress on the screen.

"Hehe, you're beautiful too!" Hua Tao praised from the bottom of his heart.

Judging from her appearance, the woman in red who took the initiative to talk to him is definitely a great beauty, but standing here at this time, most of them are people in the dust. Because there is an entertainment club opposite, and next to it is a foot bath city, and the beautiful women who come here are either Xiaomi, who accompanies the boss, or the lady who begs for life, and her eyes are full of red flowers and green women.

The woman in red glanced at Hua Tao, took out a cigarette from her waist, took out a lighter and lit it, took a deep breath, and then spit out a string of white smoke rings into the rain curtain outside: "Beautiful or not, you have to feel it with your heart, not by your ears, nor by your eyes, nor by your eyes, let alone casually." You know, kids! ”

Hua Tao stomped his slightly numb feet, habitually shrunk his body, and nodded and replied, "Well, you are right." The neon eyes are charming, the beautiful sound is confusing, and it is really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake in this colorful city. ”

"Which university?" The woman asked, continuing to puff out the smoke ring.

"I didn't go to college, I dropped out of school, and I wanted to come out to eat, but unfortunately I couldn't get in for nine days." Hua Tao replied truthfully. He saw the woman skillfully swallowing the smoke ring, and was more sure of her occupation. The reason why I said it truthfully was that I felt that she was the same as herself, with a little vicissitudes in her words, and she must be a hard-working person.

"Drop out of school?" The woman turned her head and squinted at Hua Tao: "One meter eight, you can get a graduation certificate when you go to the construction site to move bricks, right?" ”

"Alas, don't say it, I really want to move bricks, but my dad won't give me a chance at all." Hua Tao could see that the woman despised him very much, and must have thought that he was a loser who didn't learn and didn't go to college.

"What do you eat for mom and dad?" The woman in red shook her head slightly.

At the mention of his parents, Hua Tao's face became silent, and he laughed at himself: "My father and mother are all underground, waiting for me to go back and burn money." ”

"Huh?" The woman's hand holding the cigarette trembled obviously, she turned her head again, and looked Hua Tao up and down a few times: "The Huangtian Conference on the opposite side is a drunken dream of death, and the Fengyu Foot Bath City next to it is a happy paradise, as long as you go in, whether it is to serve or serve others, you will be thrown into it in this life." Listen to my sister's advice, go back, even if you plow the ground and plant vegetables, don't drill into it. ”

"Hehe, you misunderstood me, I didn't go there." Hua Tao shook his head and laughed dryly. This woman is not bad-hearted, she knows that she is a sea of suffering, and she can persuade lost youths.

"Oh? Where are you going? Didn't you say you waited here for nine days? The woman in red smiled.

Hua Tao didn't pay attention to her anymore, and continued to look at the opposite screen, where the girl in the white dress appeared again, and there was a singing voice like a spring water, and his heart was also jumping with the song.

"What about you?" The woman in red threw the cigarette butt and asked again.

Hua Tao frowned slightly, he admired the intoxicating girl in the white dress, and said impatiently: "Isn't there a Dahuatang here, I can't enter the Dahuatang?" ”

"Dahuatang?!" The corners of the woman in red trembled, she shook her head with a sneer, turned around and walked to the vermilion lacquer gate, took out a key, and opened the door lock with a clang.

Hua Tao didn't come back to his senses for a while, his heart was still on the girl in the white dress on the screen, and a pair of big eyes flashed in the rainy night, a kind of obsessive light.

The woman in red opened the door lock, glanced back, and found that Hua Tao was still looking at the opposite screen, and sneered: "Aren't you going to enter Dahuatang, come in!" ”

"Dahuatang?" Hua Tao woke up like a dream, he turned his head, and saw that the gate was slowly opening towards him.

……

The hall is 1,000 square in size, the entrance door is paved with white jade marble, the north and south sides are full of vermilion lacquer medicine cabinets, the cabinets are divided into small squares, and the identification cards are pasted on the squares, roughly looking, at least thousands. In front of the medicine cabinet is a glass countertop, which is filled with various medicinal herbs. There are several carved paintings hanging on the east and west walls, standing or lying, thinking or laughing, all of which are portraits of Hua Tuo.

The woman in red walked straight to the west side of the hall, where there were two compartments, the north room was closed, and through the openwork window, it could be seen that there were pennants all over it; The remaining room had a set of desks and chairs, and four or five wooden armchairs. The woman sat at her desk and looked back at Hua Tao.

"Are you ......?" Hua Tao hurriedly walked into the cubicle and stood in front of the woman, showing a puzzled expression.

"Hua Xueying. Tell us about yourself. The woman in red replied lightly.

Hua Tao's eyes lit up, this woman's surname was Hua, and she was able to open the door, and she was sitting directly in the consultation room, obviously an important person in Dahuatang, at least she had a close relationship with the person he wanted to meet.

"Miss Hua, my name is Hua Tao, and I'm here to see Doctor Hua Xinghua."

"What are you looking for him?" Hua Xueyingdai's eyebrows frowned slightly, Hua Xing is Hua Qiming, who is her father, that is, the famous Hua Shen Doctor.

Hua Tao hurriedly took out a small sealed bag from the pocket of his clothes, and a yellow paper letterhead was neatly stacked in the bag, and after opening it, he respectfully handed it to the woman: "This is what Dr. Hua left to my father more than ten years ago, he lived in my house for half a month, and finally left this letter of worship, hoping that I can worship under his door when I grow up." ”

"Excuse me?" Hua Xueying was very surprised, she took the letterhead curiously, and looked at it carefully.

The yellow paper letterhead is old, and a few folds have been opened, and there are several rows of vigorous brush letters written on it: "Hua lives in the mountains, meets this son by chance, and saves him." Looking at its bones, it seems to have the charm of Chinese medicine, and it is specially named: Hua Tao. I hope that in ten years, I will worship my disciples. Hua Qiming left a pen. ”

After reading the content, Hua Xueying's face became sad, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and she muttered: "This is my father's handwriting, and Hua Qiming will only use it on the yellow paper of the prescription, it is the ink treasure written by his old man when he is in high spirits." ”
