After returning to Mawangzhai, Liang Shirong sifted the mountain herbs he picked back a little, cleaned them, and then mixed them according to the proportion of the portions, added a certain amount of water, and put them in a large pot.

Liang Shirong personally squatted by the stove and lit haywood.

The fire is raging, and the fire is booming. Liang Shirong waited for the mountain herbs to fry in the pot for a while, poured the Chinese herbal medicine water into a large wooden basin, and then slowly dried it until it was warm, then pointed to the pot of steaming Chinese herbal water, and instructed Liang Xiaolan: "Yalan, I, Yaxing and Yayun will go outside to herd goats, and you will use the mountain herb water here to help your mother soak her body." ”

Liang Xiaolan looked at the big wooden basin and the steaming light green Chinese herbal water, and asked, "How long will my mother soak in this wooden basin?" ”

Liang Shirong stretched out a finger: "It's about a bag of cigarettes." In this way, in addition to washing your mother's outer skin, those medicines also let it slowly sink into the body through the pores to get rid of those hot poisons. Do this twice a day. ”

Liang Xiaolan frowned: "Ahem, so troublesome?!" ”

"Who told your mother to suffer from this disease? Don't be afraid of trouble, Aram. ”

Liang Xiaolan blinked: "Okay, I listen to Uncle Rong, even if there is no more annoyance in the future, I am not afraid." ”

After dinner, the god of the night covered the boundless sky and the vast earth with heavy wings.

According to Liang Shirong's original idea: Liang's second daughter-in-law, who had washed her body with mountain herb water, had to go to the stream to wash and soak.

This task fell to Liang Er's daughter Liang Xiaolan.

"Mother, I'll take you over there to soak in the water." Liang Xiaolan took her mother out of Mawangzhai, and by the misty moonlight, she walked forward along the path and came to a stream, where the stream surface is about more than a zhang wide, the flowing water is relatively gentle, the trees on both sides are lush, the artemisia grass is dense, and it is very secluded.

Xiaolan and her mother put her foot into the stream and immediately shrank back.

Liang Xiaolan asked with concern: "Ya Niang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiaolan and her mother pointed to the stream: "This stream is very cold, I'm afraid I can't stand it at my age." ”

Liang Xiaolan patted her head gently: "Oh, if you don't remind me, I even forgot about this." ”

Xiaolan's mother pondered for a while, and said to Xiaolan, "If only the spring water gushing out of here was hot." ”

After her mother said this, Xiaolan immediately remembered and said, "I know that the spring water here is hot spring water. ”

Xiaolan's mother: "Where?" ”

"Not far from Longtan, there is also a small pool, and the water that comes out on weekdays is hot." Xiaolan pointed to the other side, "I'll take my mother over there." ”

Liang Xiaolan helped her mother, stepped on the night, and walked along the winding path in the mountains to Longtan.

The water source on the stone mountain is very abundant, and the "stone fairy source" of the eight views of Xinchang comes from this.

The night is shrouded in the stone mountain, there are hundreds of cliffs in the canyon, a thousand feet of dragon pool, several waterfalls fly down, hit the raised rock of the dragon pool, the water droplets fly out, like countless pearls are splashing and splashing, it is very spectacular. The roar echoed through the canyon.

Longtan is ten zhang in circumference, there is a skyscraper boulder standing on it, there is a clear spring next to the boulder, the spring water gurgles out, and mixes with the stream water gushing from the upstream waterfall, forming a peculiar stream. The locals built a Longtan temple on the bank of Longtan to worship the dragon god. Every year of great drought, the government and the common people will hold a ceremony here to pray for rain, prepare three animals, burn incense and light candles, and after praying, they will hit the boulder with stones. At that time, it was believed that if a boulder made a thunderous sound, it was a sign of heavy rain from the sky.

Not far from Longtan, there is a small pool with a radius of about one zhang, and the hot springs gush out from the spring. Wisps of heat bubbled out of the waterhole, and under the blowing of the mountain breeze, they quickly drifted away among the surrounding flowers and trees.

The agarwood trees, camphor, yew, lemongrass, alder, dragon's beard grass, cloves and other plants around the small waterhole grow unusually luxuriantly.

The night in the mountains is pervasive, and the waterfall brings a never-ending beautiful sound, and then kneaded into the soft chanting of the grass and insects in the mountain, forming a natural ensemble, which has a special taste. The fireflies that are not willing to be lonely drag a little light to wander and fly around, a poetic night view of the canyon.

Liang Xiaolan helped her mother to the edge of this small waterhole, and there was no one around at this time. The two of them took off their coats and slowly descended into the water. This pool of water is only waist-deep, Xiaolan and her mother are soaked in the pool, and the clear water flows away from her side with bursts of warmth, like a pair of gentle hands gently caressing. She suddenly had a strange feeling, and her body felt very comfortable.

After soaking for a while, Liang Xiaolan stroked the wet Liuhai on her forehead and asked, "Ya Niang, how are you feeling now?" ”

Liang Xiaolan and her mother replied while rubbing her body, the smile on her face was like a blooming lotus flower: "This is a large natural bathtub, soaked in the hot water here, I feel hot all over my body now, and I am very comfortable." Xiaolan, I didn't expect that there would be a hot spring on this high mountain. ”

Liang Xiaolanyang pointed to the top of Longtan and said, "Ya Niang, if you go along this canyon to look for it, there are still many hot springs in Stone Mountain. I've heard those feng shui gentlemen say that our Stone Mountain and Tianlu Mountain are in the same dragon vein, so it makes sense that there are hot springs in Tianlu Mountain and hot springs on our mountain. ”

Xiaolan's mother felt that her daughter was reasonable, and nodded: "This is also the case." ”

Besides, Xiaolan and her mother have been soaked in the hot springs in the mountains, and they feel that the itching on their bodies is not as bad as before.

Liang Shirong saw that these methods were indeed effective in curing Xiaolan's mother's itching, so he went up the mountain for several days to pick mountain herbs, came back to boil water to soak her, and at night Xiaolan took her mother to the hot spring pool near Longtan to soak.

The pimples on Xiaolan's mother's body were obviously deflated, and the red, swollen and inflamed areas gradually turned pale color, and the whole person felt a lot more comfortable.

Xiaolan's mother's face gradually turned rosy from the previous gray yellow, and she was refreshed.

One day after lunch, Xiaolan and her mother rolled up her sleeves, revealing her skin, and a long-lost smile bloomed on her face: "Brother Rong, after soaking here with the Chinese herbs you picked back and soaking in the canyon hot springs, my body is indeed not as itchy as before." ”

Liang Shirong laughed: "I stated to you a long time ago that you should listen to what I said, yo, now it has really achieved great results." ”

Xiaolan touched her oily skin, puzzled: "Why does my soak in the hot springs in the Stone Mountain Canyon have such good effects?" ”

Xiaolan's mother: "I think the water in the stream of Stone Mountain has a special medicinal effect. ”

Liang Er: "I heard my ancestors say that the stream in the Stone Mountain Canyon is the nectar holy water sprinkled by Guanyin's silver bottle, so it can cure diseases. ”

Liang Shirong: "This is a folk legend that has been passed down orally by mountain people for generations, and I think there is a more well-founded reason. ”

Liang Er: "More well-founded reasons? Brother Aaron, speak quickly. ”

Liang Yun and Liang Xiaolan also urged Liang Shirong to quickly tell the reason.

Liang Shirong said his opinion with a serious expression: This stone mountain has abundant rainfall all year round, the grass and trees are flourishing, and the grass picked by Shennong is almost all found on this mountain. The rain from the sky falls on the mountain, passes through layers of soil, flows through the roots and stems of flowers and trees deep in the soil, and then seeps and filters out, and flows into the canyon streams, forming layers of waterfalls, so it is indeed not surprising that those streams carry the sap of thousands of trees and grasses in the mountains, and have all kinds of miraculous medicinal effects.

After hearing this, Liang Yun nodded: "What Uncle Rong said is very reasonable. ”

Liang Er's snake wound was also healed under Liang Shirong's treatment, and now listening to Liang Shirong tell this great truth, he stretched out his thumb and praised: "I know that there was a divine doctor Hua Tuo during the Three Kingdoms period, but I didn't expect that we also have a divine doctor Yarong now." ”

"I can't be a miracle doctor, mainly because I have gone out to 'run the rivers and lakes' in the past few years, opened my eyes, contacted a lot of people, and I have a person who is eager to learn, so I have learned some things," Liang Shirong replied humbly, pointing outside, "So, I have long known that the water in the Stone Mountain Canyon is very good for treating skin diseases and some other diseases." ”

Liang Er agreed: "No wonder the people who live on our stone mountain rarely suffer from skin diseases and other diseases. ”

Liang Xiaolan said admiringly: "Uncle Yarong, you have gone out to wander the world and seen the world, and your vision is very different from us huddled in the mountains all day long. ”

Xiaolan and her mother couldn't help but praise: "Brother Yarong, you heal our husband and wife so hard, your benevolence and benevolence really move us!" ”
