Chapter 10: A Visit to Uncle Abduction
Xue Congliang said that the reason why there is this plan is because the people of Xue Zhuang have always had the magical ability to resist external viruses.
Xue Congliang told his parents all the stories he saw in the book.
The two of them, both honest farmers, have never heard of the story of Xue Zhuang, let alone these sensational historical events.
"Ryoko, is what you said true?" Mom asked with some suspicion.
"It's true, our Xue Zhuang, in the final analysis, is a treasure of feng shui, if you don't take advantage of the natural conditions here, isn't it a waste? The current era is different from the past, and it is necessary to have strength and economic acumen. When Xue Congliang said this, his emotions were high, and he thought it was a good idea, but he didn't have the start-up capital yet. Some time ago, in order to open a clinic, Xue Congliang's parents also borrowed a lot of money from their neighbors, and they haven't paid it back yet!
"Well, listening to what you said, there is still some truth, but no matter what hospital you want to open, hurry up and pay back the money you borrowed from your neighbors! If this matter is not resolved, the two of us will not be able to raise our heads outside. Dad said.
"That's for sure, I've earned the money, and I'll pay them back as soon as possible." Xue Congliang was right, but when it came to repaying the money, he was a little worried. My rural hospital has not yet opened, how can I earn money and pay back?
However, from now on, Dad's side has no opinion. I'll take care of Dad's side first, and then let's talk about the rest of the matter.
"Eat, eat, your mother stewed chicken soup for you......" The expression on my father's face relaxed, and it seemed that Xue Congliang's plan gave my father a little comfort.
After lunch, Xue Congliang was going to find Xue, the kidnapper in the west of the village.
Unfortunately, at this point in time, it is the time when rural people take a lunch break.
Walking on the village road, everything is very quiet, the sun shines softly, and the fragrance of flowers comes to the face. The people who lived on the side of the road all hid the gate, and sometimes they would see a few dog heads, poking out from behind the gate, with hazy eyes, they glanced at Xue Congliang, and then retracted tiredly and fell asleep.
Occasionally, the hen that threw her eggs suddenly rushed out from the side of the firewood stack, chirping loudly, as if beckoning someone to collect the eggs.
Walking to the door of the small clinic of the kidnappers, I saw a reclining chair under the shade of the tree in front of the clinic, and there was a person lying on the recliner, snoring and sleeping soundly, and a wooden crutch with a shiny handle leaning on his hand.
Kidnapper Xue, is a famous village doctor in Xuezhuang, due to his old qualifications and old age, he only shows everyone some incurable diseases, some headaches and brain fever, and generally goes to a small hospital outside the mountain to see. As a result, the business of the kidnapper Xue is a little light.
However, it's okay to do this, but the kidnapper Xue has plenty of lunch break, and every day at noon, he will lie on the recliner under the tree and sleep beautifully until more than three o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, the weather is a little cold, and he usually sleeps for a while before getting up.
Xue Congliang took a look at the clinic very quietly, and slowed his pace, for fear of waking up the old man. People say that old people are easy to wake up when they sleep, but when the kidnapper Xue sleeps, he sleeps sweetly.
The clinic is very simple, the entrance is facing the courtyard outside, and it is more of an open space than a courtyard. At the entrance of the clinic, there is a long table, which is a very ordinary wooden table, which has been polished to a shiny and simple and heavy due to the perennial use. There was a hand pillow on the table, which was used by the abductor Xue to take the pulse, and the stethoscope was also placed on the table, as if the diagnosis had just been completed.
The medicine cabinet at the back is mostly Chinese medicine, and there are few Western medicines. Kidnapper Xue still likes our ancient traditional Chinese medicine, he dispenses medicine to patients, and he always writes a list first, and then uses a small name accurate to a few taels of money to give people medicine. Then, wrap the medicine in a piece of straw paper and tell the patient exactly how to fry the medicine in a pan and how much to drink each day when they go back.
But nowadays, young people don't like to drink this bitter Chinese medicine, especially children, when they see these Chinese medicines, they cry profusely. Only the elderly still come here to grab medicine, and they know that the medicine of the abductor Xue is a real medicine, with no side effects and no price.
Xue Congliang at the door of this Chinese medicine store, left and right, there are Chinese medicine store names are very strange, such as: ephedra, dog bones, Qiangqing, etc., although Xue Congliang in medical school, learned a lot of medical knowledge, but for the broad and profound knowledge of Chinese medicine, is also a little understood, the teacher once introduced that in the future, if you have the opportunity, you must learn Chinese medicine knowledge, this is the medical skills of the unity of nature and man, far more profound than Western medicine.
"Help, help!" Just as Xue Congliang was concentrating on the name on the Chinese medicine drawer, he suddenly heard someone shouting for help.
Out of professional sensitivity, Xue Congliang immediately turned over and rushed out. It was found that next to the abductor Xue, several children were imitating the appearance of the wounded soldiers, screaming with their teeth and claws.
Although the voice was small, it also alarmed the abductor Xue, and he reacted the same as Xue Congliang, his somewhat old body, as if he had put on a spring, jumped up with a bang.
What followed was a hearty laugh of the children, and before the kidnapper Xue picked up the crutches, these children all scattered and ran away.
At this time, the kidnapper Xue saw Xue Congliang's figure.
"That...... I want to think about it, aren't you ......" The kidnapper Xue Zhen was a little old, and he couldn't remember what the name of the handsome young man in front of him was, "Aren't you Xue Ergou's eldest baby?" ”
Xue Ergou is the milk name of Xue Congliang's father, and the current elderly people all call Xue Congliang's father Ergou.
"Yes, Uncle Abduction, I'm a good son, do you remember me?" Xue Congliang walked up and hurriedly introduced himself.
"Oh...... Right, right! Liangzi, look at my memory, you young people, you are not often at home, I have forgotten it, hehe......" Abductor Xue said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, Uncle Abductor, are you okay?" Xue Congliang asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm an old Chinese medicine doctor, I still know some health knowledge, but the doctor is not autonomous, sometimes, my body is sick, and I can't do anything about it, you see my leg, since I was lame, I have never been better...... "Abduction Xue said with some regret.
"Uncle Kidnapper, don't move when you sit, rest well. What's going on with your legs? Xue Congliang didn't know why Lu Dao asked this question, and when he said it, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate. Why mention the old man's past scars!
Unexpectedly, the kidnapper Xue wanted to tell the past. In fact, this is exactly what Xue Congliang wants to know. He wanted to learn something about Xue Zhuang's past from the kidnapper Xue.
"Alas—it's far away, and I told my sons that I had broken my leg back then, but in fact, I didn't tell anyone the story of the real thing. Now, after so many years, I'm old, and I don't tell young people anymore, and I guess I won't have the strength to talk about it anymore in the future......" The abduction Xue seemed to have returned to a long time ago, his eyes were blurred, and the cigarette pouch in front of him, I don't know when, a puff of green smoke came out, and it surrounded the abductor Xue.
"Uncle kidnapper, you speak slowly, let's talk about it." Xue Congliang saw hope, he knew that the abductor Xue wanted to talk about something that others didn't know.
"At that time, I was only twenty years old, that is, nearly forty years ago, at that time, I was still young and ignorant, but I had already begun to study Chinese medicine, the teacher was an old man before, he knew a lot about Chinese medicine, but later, he said that the Chinese medicine of Xue Zhuang was cursed by the god of Zhuang, so he changed his surname, and later changed his surname to Chen, and after that, he also moved out of Xue Zhuang. I'm the only one who is obsessed with Chinese medicine, and no matter what, I want to continue learning. The teacher saw that I was loyal to the letter, so he told me the truth of the matter......" When the kidnapper Xue said this, he coughed violently.
Xue Congliang got up and poured water for the abductor Xue, and brought out a cup of boiling water with tea leaves: "Uncle Abductor, you drink a glass of water first......
Abductor Xue took the glass of water and took a sip, and the aroma of tea filled the air.
