Chapter Ninety-Seven: Snow Clams
Time flies so fast that it seems that a round of life has changed between the eyes closed.
Unknowingly, Sheng Zijun has been in Lotus Village for nearly half of the winter; In addition to sorting out the collected medicinal materials at Uncle Niu's house every day and composing his medical experience, he also conducts free clinics for the people in nearby villages for free. As soon as this righteous act came out, it was deeply respected and loved by the people of Shili and Baxiang, and I don't know who was the first to call out a "miracle doctor", which made Sheng Zijun a well-known figure in Shili Baxiang in word of mouth.
Such a big hat is crowned on Sheng Zijun's head, although it is his vocation to treat doctors and save people, but in the face of fame and fortune, is there no heart at all? In complacency, Sheng Zijun's enthusiasm rose even higher, and going to the village to ask for illness and donating medicine to save people became his compulsory homework every day.
Sheng Zijun, who has always been a loner, has recently changed the situation of being "single", and there is an extra little follower who carries a suitcase and runs errands to assist Sheng Zijun from the side.
I still need to ask who the little follower is? Naturally, it was Zhu Xishi who he and Uncle Niu rescued by the valley stream more than three months ago.
At first, Sheng Zijun thought that Zhu Xishi was by his side, but it was just a trick for her to force herself to comply. I thought that after a long time, the fat woman would retreat from the difficulties, and if she wanted to follow, she would do whatever she wanted. What I didn't expect was that this casual time was a month, and she did not waver in Sheng Zijun's ambition, and accompanied him around every day rain or shine to give medicine, which made Sheng Zijun admire the perseverance of this fat woman a little over time.
In fact, there is nothing bad about this situation, on the contrary, it makes Sheng Zijun feel much easier than before. Don't look at this Zhu in the past, he was chubby, he was quite quick to do things, and he knew people's eyes very well! Sometimes before Sheng Zijun could speak, Zhu Xi had already done things properly, and secretly Sheng Zijun didn't know how many times she snickered.
Isn't it okay for someone to carry a heavy medicine box for you, someone to grind medicine for you, someone for you to send, someone to add tea and water for you? It's so good! Anyway, everything is voluntary, and he never asked her to do this for him.
On this day, Sheng Zijun and Zhu Xishi came back from a visit to the next village, and as soon as they entered Uncle Niu's house, they saw the ecstatic Aunt Niu running to report the good news.
"Doctor Shan, you're back! Good news, good news! ”
In the face of Aunt Niu's good news, Sheng Zijun was confused, where did the joy come from? ! looked like a stunned monk was confused, and he didn't see a clue after looking at Aunt Niu for a long time.
"Aunt Niu, what is the good news, you should come and hear it. Don't keep hanging people's appetites."
"Gee, haven't you always wanted to find snow clams? Got it! ”
As soon as he heard the word "snow clam", Sheng Zijun, whose face was a little tired, suddenly cheered up, and a pair of black eyes shone like a pearl being brightened, and he excitedly grabbed Aunt Niu and asked urgently.
"Aunt Niu, where are the clams?! Take me to see it, quick! ”
Aunt Niu was also excited when she saw Sheng Zijun, so she didn't sell much, and hurriedly led him to the kitchen. And Zhu Xishi, who put down his clothes all the way, also followed closely to join in the fun, and also wanted to see what the snow clam that made Sheng Zijun's baby look like.
"Oh, Doctor Sheng, look!"
From a wooden basin filled with snow water, Aunt Niu lifted a bamboo cage and put it on the ground, and the little thing inside seemed to be frightened, and immediately "quacked" and screamed.
Through this hollow bamboo cage, I saw a small silver-white thing, constantly jumping in the cage in a panic. On further observation, the little silver-white thing had five small golden bumps on its back, a bit like golden beans; And on its constantly bulging cheeks, there is a little pink in the snow-white.
After carefully observing the small things in the cage, Sheng Zijun's happiness rose even more, and he shouted excitedly: "It's a snow clam, this is a snow clam!" ”
Zhu Xishi looked at the snow clam in front of the cage for a long time, except for the peculiar color and markings, how to see that the snow clam is no different from the field chicken in the field, and said his opinion lightly on the side.
"It's nothing unusual, it's just a field chicken. I thought it had three heads and six arms. ”
As soon as he heard Zhu Xishi's layman's contemptuous words, Sheng Zijun immediately turned his head and retorted to Zhu Xishi: "What do you know! This snow clam is full of treasures all over its body, and it is a good medicinal material that is hard to find! ”
"It's not the same. In the final analysis, there is no difference between it and field chicken, one is drugged, the other is drunk, and the usage is different. ”
"If you have eyes and don't know gold and jade, a layman is a layman! For the sake of this little thing, I have been guarding this lotus flower village for many months! ”
When I mention this sadness, it can be said that I smell sadness, and those who see it cry! For the sake of the little snow clam in this cage, Sheng Zijun not only trekked through mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, but also did not know how many times he tossed and turned in this Taiyin Mountain before he could have the fate to see this snow clam.
"Doctor Sheng, don't say it, I really can't see any treasures about this little snow clam, but you can tell us about its wonders, so you have a long insight."
After all, Aunt Niu is a mountain village woman who can't read big words, and naturally she can't understand what the preciousness of this snow clam is, but the shameless words make Sheng Zijun listen to it, unlike Zhu Xishi, who always has a cold thorn on his mouth.
"According to my master's 'Medicine King's Treasure Book': snow clams, also known as "golden-spotted jade rocks", grow in extremely cold places; The whole body is silver-white, with money spots on the back, and the eyes are blue and purple. ”
"The reason why these clams are precious is that they are scarce in number, and because they are extremely medicinally valuable. Its silver skin, peeled off and dried, ground into powder, with appropriate herbs, can cure ringworm; The snow clam grows in ice water all year round, and its blood is extremely cold, which is a rare thing in the world, which can restrain fire poison; Its flesh, air-dried into medicine, has a miraculous effect on the treatment of epilepsy, leprosy and other difficult diseases; Its clam eggs have an immediate effect on women who have a blood collapse after giving birth. And the most precious medicinal material on its body is the snow clam oil secreted by the five money spots on its back, which has the miraculous effect of regenerating muscles, stopping bleeding and dead skin, and can be described as a rare elixir for women in the world to maintain their eternal youth. ”
Sheng Zijun's explanation of the snow clam oil in the second half of the paragraph, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and when his clear eyes swept over Zhu Xi beside him, it was quite suggestive.
After carefully figuring out Sheng Zijun's words and the strangeness in his eyes, Zhu Xishi suddenly realized something, and asked Sheng Zijun who was gathered around the snow clam cage in surprise.
"Do you mean to say that this snow clam oil can help women be reborn?!"
Zhu Xishi's startled question fell, followed by an awkward silence in the room, where she repeatedly observed between Sheng Zijun and the caged snow clams; Although Sheng Zijun did not give her a clear answer, judging from the constantly rising corners of his mouth, this matter is not far from ten!
