The weather is warm and bright, the weather is cold and the sun is cloudy, the four seasons alternate, hundreds of kinds of herbs are hidden in the wilderness and dense forests, and the sky is handed over, and the season is born.

As soon as you enter Taiyi Mountain, you can see a lot of herbs on the side of the road, and I saw Lu Fu walking in front of a plant that looked like a pulsatilla and stopped, gently digging up the surrounding soil with a pickaxe, and digging out the roots together.

Seeing this, Gongsun Yu also walked up and exclaimed loudly: "What a big general grass, the roots are round and thick. ”

"Brother, our name is pulsatilla, you see, there is a white mushroom near its roots, which resembles a pulsatilla, so it is named, it seems that the name is different in various places."

"Yes, Brother Lu, there are many types of medicinal materials, and the names are different in different places, so the medical skills are really broad and profound, and you need to spend a lot of effort to study them; You see, its roots are particularly enlarged, and it is really a good medicine for heat, blood, diarrhea, and malaria. ”

Lu Fu put the pulsatilla into the back fence and said with a smile: "Boil the pulsatilla and barley into porridge, that is to remove intestinal scale, eliminate stagnation, every time after the big fish and meat, I often make it to drink." ”

"Brother Lu, look, it's such a big mint grass." Gongsun Yu saw a few mint grasses on the sunny slope, and hurriedly stepped forward to dig them.

Lu Fu also helped to dig, and after a while, he dug up a few mint grasses, and while he put the herbs into the back fence, he kneaded the mint leaves, and then a fragrant fragrance came to his nose, and Gongsun Yu also came close to smell it: "It's really fragrant, it's really a good medicine for pain." "Of course, they didn't dig up all the mint grass, but they still had to leave a few plants to propagate, this is the rule of the trade, and the people who collect the medicine know it.

At this time, Lu Fu pointed to a bush with large white flowers and thorny stems and said, "What a big ashwagandha, it should be ten years old." ”

Gongsun Yu hurriedly walked up, only to see that the leaves of the eggplant flower are very large, round, the petioles are very long, and covered with thorns, each stem opens a single white trumpet-shaped flower, the green fruit, like an eggplant, so it is named the eggplant flower; Looking at the mountain cut flower that was about as tall as himself, he exclaimed: "Wow, it's the first time I've seen such a tall mountain eggplant, Brother Lu, we also call it stinky hemp flower, pick more and go back, and you can use it as an anesthetic to treat fractures and wounds in the future." ”

Lu Fu suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "Brother, there is one thing I have always wanted to ask you, that is, when Ciqian and Yu'er in Zhaojia Village were treating hand diseases, you used this medicine to make anesthetic, you said that this kind of anesthetic is called Ma Boiling San, I have never heard of mountain eggplant flowers can be used as anesthetic, presumably this is the ancestral inheritance of your Gongsun family." ”

Gongsun Yu saw Lu Fu asking, and thought that if he told him that there was a miracle doctor named Hua Tuo who invented this medicine hundreds of years later, then Lu Fu would definitely not believe it, so he smiled and said: "Yes, Brother Lu, this is the most important medicine in our ancestral anesthetic prescription; There is a story about the ancestors when they invented this anesthetic. ”

After taking a sip of water, Gongsun Yu continued to make up: "When the ancestors were practicing medicine, they treated those who were disabled, especially in the treatment of bone injuries, and often saw those patients dying in pain, so they secretly decided to find a medicine that could anesthetize the wounds and relieve the pain when treating the patients; Once I saw a patient with his teeth closed, staring at the white of his eyes, foaming at the mouth, lying on the ground and unable to move, so he stepped forward to take his pulse, and found that his pulse was stable and his body temperature was normal, so he asked the patient's family, and replied that the patient was strong and had never been sick, but it was only by mistakenly taking this kind of ashwagandha that caused this; So the ancestors took the eggplant flower to taste, suddenly felt dizzy, full of numbness, knew that this medicine was toxic, so he used a cool antidote to wake up the patient; Then the ancestors tried the leaves, flowers and fruits of the eggplant flower, and found that the fruit was the most effective; Later, I visited the famous doctor again and again, collected a few more flavors of anesthetic, so I added more angelica, Chuanxiong, Shengcaowu and Aracea and other herbs to prepare this anesthetic, and then add hot wine when using it, the effect is better, when cutting the wound of the patient, the patient said that it does not feel very painful, and after an hour or two, then use the cool and detoxifying herbs to detoxify, and the patient regains consciousness. ”

Gongsun Yu said it vividly, and Lu Fu was amazed when he heard it, and praised their Gongsun family's medical skills were really clever.

In fact, whether it is a mountain eggplant flower or a stinky hemp flower, it is what is called a mandala flower today, and Hua Tuo of the Eastern Han Dynasty used it to make hemp boiling.

The two continued to collect medicines, and after a while, they picked a large fence of herbs, including Poria cocos, gardenia, Banxia, Chuanxiong, Dendrobium and so on. Lu Fu also carried a bow and arrows, along the way can also shoot hares, birds and other game, Lu Fu's archery skills, that is really to the point of a hundred steps through the poplar, after a while also shot a lot of game.

Unconsciously, the sun was about to go down, and Lu Fu proposed to go down the mountain, for fear of wild beasts at night, and the environment here was relatively unfamiliar, and the danger was greater, so the two of them went down the mountain to the previous family to stay.

Early the next morning, the two of them went into the mountains early to collect medicine, and so on and so forth, and before they knew it, a few days had passed.

At noon that day, after picking a few dendrobium plants on the edge of the cliff, they were about to take back the rope when they suddenly heard someone shouting for help under the cliff, as if it was a girl's voice. So the two of them slid down the rope down the platform below the cliff. I saw that there was a cave on the right side of the platform, and there was an old man lying at the entrance of the cave, about fifty years old, with a relatively thin body, with all white beard, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old beside him, with a slender figure, a pair of clear and bright big eyes, soft and full red lips, which looked quiet and elegant. The old man seemed to be injured a lot, the girl hugged him, saw Gongsun Yu and the two of them coming over, and shouted loudly: "Two eldest brothers, come and save my father, my father fell and was injured." ”

Lu Fu ran up first and asked, "This girl, may I ask how the old man was injured and how was his injury?" ”

The girl wiped her tears and said: "This big brother, this morning I went into the mountains with my father to collect medicine, and saw that there were a lot of yellow essence on this cliff, and my father went down to pick it, but it had rained in the past few days, and the soil on the side of the cliff was loose, and the soles of my feet were slippery, and I accidentally fell down; I also hurriedly followed, seeing that Daddy fell like this and couldn't move, and I didn't have the strength to help him up, so I had to call for help, thanks to meeting you, come and save my Daddy. ”

Gongsun Yu stepped forward to see that the old man had broken his femur and couldn't move, his face was blue in pain, but he was still conscious, but he couldn't speak; Fortunately, the girl also knew how to heal, and did not move him, lest he be hurt again, but only stopped and bandaged the bleeding with a cloth.

By this time, Lu Fu had already chopped a few pieces of wood, cut the wood into pieces with his sword, and then fixed and tied the old man's wounded place. Gongsun Yu just picked some saffron flowers today, took them out and mashed them, and then bandaged them on the wound.

After a while, the old man didn't feel so much pain, and he could speak: "Thank you two for the rescue, the old man is grateful, listening to the accent of the two should not be from Chang'an, where are you from?" ”

Lu Fu saw that the old man was asking, and replied: "In Xia Lu Fu, Zhao Guoren's clan, this old brother's name is Gongsun Yu, from Qi State; We are all people who study medicine, and we are going to open a medical hall in Chang'an City, and we have heard for a long time that Nanshan medicinal materials are famous, so we came to collect medicines. ”

"The old man is also a doctor, his surname has changed his name indefinitely, and this is the little girl Yi Susu."

The old man pointed to the woman beside him and said, "Su Su, quickly help me up, thank you to these two strong men." ”

At this time, Lu Fu hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Old man, you have fallen to the femur now, don't move, your home is not far from here, let's find a way to help you carry you down the mountain." ”

The girl named Yi Susu felt that Lu Fu's words made sense, so she said: "Big brother, after going down the mountain, I have to walk ten miles south again, and when I arrive at a place called Phoenix Market, my family's hospital is open in Phoenix Market." ”

"Brother, let's take turns to carry the old man down the mountain, Susu, you lead the way in front." Lu Fu picked up the old man Yi Wuji and prepared to go down the mountain, and Yi Susu led the way in front.

The old man Yi Wuji was grateful and helpless, and sighed: "Thank you so much, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't know how to go down the mountain; Hey, it's useless when you're old, if you were in your early years, you wouldn't fall off the cliff every day. ”

Lu Fu and the others were afraid that Yi Wu's bone injury would be injured again, so they didn't dare to walk too fast. When they arrived at a lawn at the bottom of the mountain, both of their horses were grazing in the lawn, only to hear Lu Fu whistle violently, and the two horses rushed forward and backward like swords, Lu Fu carefully helped Yi Wuji onto the horse, and slowly walked south.
