Chapter 419: The Essence of Being a Man

The mystery of "mountain ghosts crying at night" was solved on the spot by Huineng in the middle of the night in Longtan.

The owner of Ding Zhai put down the big stone of "his son is haunted by ghosts" in his heart, but how to cure his son's serious illness is still a difficult problem.

Hui Neng saw the baby fish in Longtan, recalled the past when Senior Brother Sun treated Zen Master Shi Hui, and thought, why not come to a plate to cook a bowl, so he said: "Master Ding Zhai, I have a prescription, maybe it can make your son's illness better." ”

A ray of dawn flashed in front of the Lord of Ding Zhai, and he urged and asked, "What is a good prescription, tell me quickly!" ”

Huineng: "Take bird's nest as the main medicine, and use chicken blood vine as the medicine." ”

Lord Dingzhai: "Where can I find the chicken blood vine?" ”

"Master Dingzhai, you can rest assured," Huineng stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance, "I once went to the cliff over there to collect medicine for my mother, and I saw that there were chicken blood vines growing on the cliff. ”

The lord of Ding Zhai looked at the dark surroundings and muttered, "It's so dark now. ”

Huineng: "Tomorrow we will go our separate ways, I will go to the cliffs in the mountains to pick chicken blood vines, and you will send someone to the county seat of Xinzhou to buy bird's nest." ”

The owner of Ding Zhai happily: "Okay! ”

The next day, the sun set, and the changing sunset smeared Tianlu Mountain with a layer of blurry color.

After half a day of fatigue, Huineng came to the house of the owner of Ding Zhai with a bamboo basket on his back.

As soon as Huineng entered the door, the owner of Ding Zhai stretched his neck and asked, "Have you picked the chicken blood vine?" ”

"Got it." Huineng replied happily, took off the bamboo basket from his back, took out the handful of chicken blood vines he had just picked, and raised it in front of the master of Ding Zhai, "Look, is the juice it flowing out very much like chicken blood?" ”

Against the backdrop of the sunset, the bright red juice flowing from the severed cane stems is very eye-catching.

The lord of Ding Zhai nodded: "It's very similar, no wonder people call these vines chicken blood vines." ”

Huineng handed over the chicken blood vine and said, "But it's a special medicine to cure anemia!" ”

The master of Ding Zhai took the chicken blood vine and stroked it lovingly, and two lines of tears flowed from those old eyes.

Huineng asked, "Did you go to the county seat today to buy bird's nest?" ”

"No," the owner of Ding Zhai shook his head in frustration, "Today I led people to run in the county seat and my feet were about to break, and I still can't buy bird's nest." ”

It turned out that the lord of Ding Zhai got up early in the morning today, and walked dozens of miles to Xinzhou County with his servants full of hope, but when he came back, he was depressed. Because he walked all over the streets and alleys of the county, looking for large and small medicine halls and pharmacies, their answer was, "Bird's nest, a precious medicine village, has been out of stock for a long time." And told him that even if he went to the Duanzhou pharmacy hundreds of miles away, there would be no such thing as bird's nest.

The lord of Ding Zhai said sadly: "You found me the medicine of chicken blood vine, but without the main medicine of bird's nest, my precious son's illness still can't be cured!" ”

Huineng: "This is too. ”

The lord of Ding Zhai sighed to the sky: "It seems that the sky is ruthless, and it really wants me to be the last." ”

Huineng comforted him: "Lord Dingzhai, there will always be a solution to things in the world. Let's all figure it out. ”

Leaving Dingjiazhai in Yunpai Village and returning to the grass hut on the side of the stone gate of Wenyang Tianzhai, Huineng asked Li to sit on a bamboo chair as usual and stood behind her to massage her.

Press, press, Li didn't look back, and said, "Neng'er, do you have anything on your mind today?" ”

Huineng: "This ......"

Li: "I know, you have something on your mind today. ”

Huineng asked strangely: "Mother, how do you know?" ”

Li: "Neng'er, in the past, you gave me a massage, a little bit, not hurried, not heavy, not light, but today you give me a massage, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, I don't have to look back, I know what you are thinking." ”

Huineng couldn't imagine that her mother would be so sensitive, and from the weight and rhythm of the massage she gave her, she deduced that she had something on her mind, so she had to admit: "Yes, mother, I always can't escape your eyes when I have something on my mind." ”

Only then did Li turn around and point at him with a smile: "Knowing the son of Mo's mother." You still want to hide from me, the way you came back today is different from usual, and I saw through it at once. ”

Hui Neng said: "This ......"

Li: "Neng'er, if you have any difficult things in your heart, just tell my mother and me, maybe I can share it for you." ”

Huineng bit her lip and thought for a while, and said, "Since my mother said so, I can only tell you the truth." And he told him what had happened today.

After hearing this, Li Shi laughed: "Ahem, I thought you had encountered some great difficulty?" It turned out that this was just a trivial matter. ”

Huineng: "A trivial matter?". ”

"The owner of Ding Zhai said that he couldn't buy bird's nest after looking for a long time in Xinzhou County, didn't there be some bird's nest in the bag you brought back from Huaiji?" As he spoke, Li got up from the bamboo chair, walked to the grass shed, took the burden from the wall, opened it, took out the bird's nests, and lit them up.

Huineng looked at those bird's nests and said, "Mother, these bird's nests are not easy to come by, they are very rare, I specially brought them back from Huaiji for you to use and replenish your body." You are my biological mother, I want to do my filial piety! ”

Li: "It's rare that you have this filial piety to me, but you do this just to be filial." ”

Huineng: "Xiaoxiao? ”

Li said with a serious expression: "You are a person in the world, and your care for your parents is only a small filial piety, and your care for the people of the world is a great filial piety." ”

"Caring for the people of the world is the ..... of filial piety" Huineng pondered Li's words, "Mother, your mind is really broad! ”

Li: "Don't say all the good things about my mother's kiss, this is the foundation of life." ”

Huineng: "My mother's heartfelt words are worth remembering for the rest of my life." ”

Li's demeanor became rarely serious: "Neng'er, let me ask you, is it important for your mother to make up for your body, or is it important to save people's lives?" ”

Li's question did pose a problem to Huineng: "This ...... This ......"

Lee: "What are you waiting for?" ”

Huineng said what was in his heart: "Bird's nest is so rare, I'm worried about giving it to others, so, what about your body?" You are also recovering from illness and need to make up for it! ”

Li said generously: "Ahem, your mother is already this age, it can be said that the loess has buried me in half, but the only son of the owner of Ding Zhai is a young man, maybe he will become a pillar of society in the future!" Besides, I, a villager, may not be able to eat such supplements, so you can give those bird's nests to the son of the owner of Ding Zhai as a doctor. ”

Huineng was still hesitating: "This ...... This....... ”

Li's tone was stubborn: "Ah Neng, don't think about it anymore, this time you must listen to my mother's words." ”

A wave of heat hit Huineng's heart, and he finally made up his mind: "Okay, the child will follow your mother's instructions to do it,"

Li praised: "You are the good son of your mother!" ”

Huineng: "Mother, you always don't care about yourself as a person, but think more about others. ”

That night, Huineng took the bird's nest brought from Huaiji to Dingjiazhai in Yunpai Village.

The owner of Ding Zhai was overjoyed, asked about the origin of this bird's nest, and was so moved that he held Huineng's hand tightly, and said: "It's rare that your mother understands the righteousness so well, if my son is saved this time, I will repay you with a straw ring." ”

Huineng: "My mother often said that don't try to reciprocate good deeds. Master Dingzhai, don't talk to me about these kind words anymore. ”

That night, Huineng took matters into his own hands and cooked some bird's nest and chicken blood vine and other medicines, and took the medicine bowl to Ding Yujia's bed and fed him medicine with a spoon.

The owner of Ding Zhai, who was watching from the side, was moved to tears and wet his clothes.

Ding Yujia already knew from her father that "the little ghost screamed in the middle of the night" was just the cry of the baby fish when she was courting, and the heavy spiritual burden of "haunted by mountain ghosts" was removed, and now she had to be treated with the right medicine, and she woke up the next day and felt much better, and her speech was not so breathless.

If this continues, Huineng went to the house of the owner of Ding Zhai for more than ten days to treat Ding Yujia and decoct medicine.

I don't know if it's because Tiangong has eyes, or if it's the medicine stone Qiling, Ding Yujia's sunken cheeks gradually swelled, turning from pale to ruddy, and there was still a little oil. The pupils of the two eyes have changed from the previous sluggishness to flickering from time to time.

A few days later, Ding Yujia had a bright smile on her face, and she didn't walk as light as she used to be, but with vigorous steps and full of energy. The muscles of the arms are also gradually plump, and the camphor wooden pier weighing more than 50 catties in the yard can be lifted high and lowered more than ten times.

Seeing that his son's health had miraculously improved, Ding Zhai was so happy that he was singing mountain songs.

When the lord of Ding Zhai and Ding Yujia came to the grass hut where Hui Neng lived in seclusion to thank their mother and son, Hui Neng pointed to his heart and said earnestly: "Lord Ding Zhai, the mountain herbs on Tianlu Mountain can cure the diseases in the body. But how much more you need to heal the sickness here! ”

Lord Ding Zhai: "My heart is also sick?" ”

Huineng nodded: "Well, being sick in the heart is more terrible than being sick in the body." You have to get rid of the obstacles in your mind, so that you can truly have a healthy body and mind. ”
