Chapter 3: Xianmen Liu Xiang
"Mr. Yao?"
"Old medicine head!" Fang Huan said in surprise.
A tall old man, dressed in a gray robe, walked with a bamboo basket on his back, with a tall figure and full of energy, not at all like an old man.
The old man walked to Fang Rou, who was about to kneel, held Fang Rou's arm with his sleeve robe, turned his head and said, "Aunt Hua, for the sake of the old man's face, don't be embarrassed by this mother and son." ”
"Mr. Yao, this little bastard has no education at all, and he used a knife to intimidate me, so if it's settled, let my Hua Gu's face go, let my son Liu Xiang's face go, let Xianmen ......."
Mr. Yao raised his arm, interrupted Hua Gu's words, and said, "If Liu Xiang comes back and asks him to come to the old man, this kid's broken leg is still connected by the old man, and he should give the old man a face." ”
Hua Gu blushed.
If it were other villagers, Hua Gu could not give them face, but this old man couldn't.
Mr. Yao is the only Langzhong in Longweipo, almost everyone in the village has seen him for treatment, and Liu Xiang broke his leg when he went up the mountain to play when he was a child.
Who to offend, Hua Gu doesn't want to offend this old man Yao, she will have to live in Longweipo in the future, who can guarantee that she will not get sick in her life?
"Okay, kowtow will be waived, but the fourth child of my family let this kid cut off his arm, and this account ......"
Mr. Yao waved his hand and said, "It's just a flesh injury, go back to my pharmacy to grab medicine, and I won't charge you money." ”
Hua Gu hurriedly said: "That's not good, my fourth brother injured his arm, and he couldn't work in the field, now it's autumn, and I'm still waiting to collect the land, how much less land does our family have to collect!"
Mr. Yao took out a silver ingot from his sleeve robe and threw it to Hua Gu, turned his head and ignored Hua Gu.
Hua Gu, who got the silver money, quickly put the silver ingot into her arms, glanced at Fang Rou hatefully, turned her head and pulled Liu Laosi and said, "For the sake of Mr. Yao's face, spare you first, let's go!"
"I scattered, I had to cook and eat, and I had to work in the fields. ”
The villagers also closed their doors and windows, and went about their own business.
"Thank you, Mr. Yao, the money you owe will ...... back," Fang Rou Yingying gave a salute to the old man.
Mr. Yao waved his hand and said, "Deduct it from this kid's salary, Fang Rou, you are weak, go back to the house, don't let the wind blow." I'm going to take this stinky boy into the mountains to collect medicine, and if I don't leave, I may not be able to come back after dark. ”
Fang Rou nodded, and said to Fang Huan: "Huan'er, you have to listen to Mr. Yao's words, don't make trouble." ”
"Don't worry, mother, you've said it many times, I'm the old medicine man's right-hand man, so I won't make trouble. Isn't that the old medicine head?"
Mr. Yao rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
——————
Longweipo is backed by Ziyun Peak, and for many years, Mr. Yao Lao has taken Fang Huan to collect medicine in Ziyun Peak.
In the early morning of a sunny day, the peak of Ziyun Peak is filled with purple clouds and mist, gathering but not dispersing, so it is named Ziyun Peak.
Fang Huan's thin figure was extremely flexible in the mountains and forests, and the old man Yao, who was already in his early seventies, was not slow to walk in the mountains at all compared to a twelve-year-old boy.
"Old Yaotou, why do you say that those people in the village always can't get along with our mother, and my mother and I didn't provoke them, thank you today." ”
"Stinky boy, don't come here with the old man to be vain, let me ask you, how is the memorization of "The Theory of Ancient Innocence"?"
"The people of the ancient times are 100 years old in spring and autumn, and they are more than 100 years old and their movements are not declining, why not? Because they are in harmony with the four seasons, they are in tune with yin and yang, and the law is ...... heaven and earth."
"The Four Seasons of Tune the Spirit"
"Spring and March, this is called Chen. Heaven and earth are born, all things are glorious, lie down at night and get up early, walk widely in the court, and be slowed down to make Zhisheng ......
——————
By the time Fang Huan and Mr. Yao returned to the village, it was already evening, and the bamboo baskets of the two of them were full of medicinal herbs.
Longwei Slope, which is relatively calm on weekdays, is actually noisy today.
"Liu Xiang, who was accepted as an apprentice by the immortals, is back!"
"Hua Gu's family has a big banquet and gathers the villagers to eat!"
"Liu Xiang has been gone for three years, and Hua Gu talks about her son every day, and now that she is back, she may be a demon. ”
"Let's go, let's go, who won't go to the feast for nothing?"
Fang Huan rolled his eyes, and didn't plan to join in the fun.
It's just that he just cut Liu Laosi last night, and this morning he had another trouble with Hua Gu, Liu Xiang happened to come back at this time, I hope I don't come to trouble myself and my mother again.
followed Mr. Yao back to the pharmacy, put down the herbs in the bamboo basket, and hurried home.
My mother hasn't eaten yet.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Fang Huan pushed open the door of the courtyard and walked into the courtyard, and shouted cautiously, for fear that the sound would be too loud and disturb his mother.
"Mother?"
Without hearing Fang Rou's response, Fang Huan shouted again.
Still no movement.
"Could it be that my mother is out?"
Fang Huan pushed open the door suspiciously, and saw the woman lying on the kang lying still, silent, and felt a little apprehensive for a while, and hurriedly walked to the bed.
What caught Fang Huan's eyes was his mother's pale and beautiful face, Fang Rou bit her lip stubbornly, her brows furrowed.
"Mother?"
Fang Huan didn't dare to shake it vigorously to wake up Fang Rou, and anxiously pulled up Fang Rou's right wrist, and put his index finger on Fang Rou's pulse.
The pulse is weak!
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
My mother was fine when she left this morning, but why did she come back in the evening and fall unconscious?
Fang Huan hurriedly ran out of the house and locked the door.
Go to the pharmacy!
When Fang Huan ran to the pharmacy, he saw a tall figure wearing white clothes and a sword behind his back standing at the door of the pharmacy, bending slightly to bow to the old man Yao.
"If it weren't for Mr. Yao's rescue, how could Liu Xiang, who had broken a leg, have today's scenery? ”
Fang Huan was a little stunned, this is ...... Liu Xiang?
Liu Xiang is three years older than Fang Huan, he used to hang Erlang in the village every day and didn't do business, and he called himself the little bully of Longweipo, a complete ruffian, and often bullied the children younger than him in the village by virtue of his height and strength.
Because Hua Gu was dissatisfied with Fang Rou, Fang Huan was the object of Liu Xiang's "care".
But at this moment, Liu Xiang is tall and polite, and he can't see the ruffian appearance of the year.
Mr. Yao waved his hand and said, "The old man is happy and quiet by nature, so he will be exempted from going to the banquet or something." ”
"This ......"
Liu Xiang's face was a little embarrassed, his steps hesitated, and he refused to leave.
"Old medicine head, come with me to see, my mother ...... her"
Although he was surprised by Liu Xiang's changes, his mother's condition was serious, and Fang Huan couldn't care about Liu Xiang, and shouted at Mr. Yao Lao while running.
Liu Xiang looked back, and when he saw Fang Huan, instead of showing the fierce expression he had in the past, he raised a smile.
The smile is very kind and kind.
"What's wrong?" asked Mr. Yao with a frown.
Fang Huan ran to the door of the pharmacy, panting, bent over, supported his knees with both hands and said, "My mother...... My mother was in a coma, and her pulse was very ...... Weak, old medicine head, come back with me. ”
Mr. Yao nodded, turned around and walked back to the house to get the medicine box.
Liu Xiang turned his head, raised a hand on Fang Huan's shoulder, and said in a calm tone: "Little Brother Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I was young and ignorant in the past, and I offended a lot, you don't have to take it to heart, in addition, I also heard about what happened last night and this morning, and I apologize to you on behalf of my father and mother." ”。
Fang Huan was stunned, is this really Liu Xiang?
Seeing Fang Huan's stunned eyes, Liu Xiang continued to smile and said: "Since Aunt Fang is sick, I won't bother here, if Aunt Fang's condition improves later, I welcome Junior Brother Fang and Aunt Fang to my house for a banquet." ”
In Fang Huan's stunned eyes, Liu Xiang turned around and left.
Xianmen really has the means to turn decay into magic???
"Alright, boy, let's go. Mr. Yao walked out of the pharmacy with the medicine box on his back and said to the other party.
The pharmacy was not far from Fang Huan's house, and Fang Huan dragged Mr. Yao all the way back to his house.
Looking at Mr. Yao's furrowed snow-white eyebrows, Fang Huan was anxious in his heart.
After a long time, Mr. Yao let go of the dry fingers that held the pulse and opened his mouth, but there was still no sound.
"Old medicine head, what's wrong? You are talking! What's wrong with my mother? I was fine in the morning, why can I ...... now" Fang Huan's voice trembled a little.
Mr. Yao's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "Those whose hearts are dead have no medicine to treat." ”
"None...... There is no cure?"
Fang Huan was like being struck by lightning, his footsteps shook, he finally stabilized his figure, grabbed Mr. Yao's sleeve robe, and his lips trembled: "Help...... Save ......"
"If he can save it, will the old man stand by and watch?"
"How so? It's okay in the morning...... It was fine in the morning!"
Fang Huan suddenly seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, fell to his knees, and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.
"The heart is on fire, the internal organs are burning, and your mother is already weak and sickly...... The most important thing is that she has no idea of living at all...... Otherwise, the old man can still save ......," Mr. Yao shook his head and sighed.
"Mother...... Mother, open your eyes and look at me, mother! I'm Huan'er!"
"Tell me what happened, mother. ”
"Don't leave Huan'er, mother, please, mother. ”
Fang Huan buried his face in the quilt and cried bitterly.
"Alas......" Mr. Yao sighed and walked out of the house with the medicine box on his back.
There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.
Tears soaked the futon, Fang Huan pulled his mother's cold wrist, and everything was lost.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
Fang Huan touched a handful of tears, rushed out of the courtyard of the house, and ran to the next door and slammed the door of the skinny monkey's house hard.
"Who, who, who? smash it, smash it, you will pay for it. The skinny monkey scolded and pushed open the door.
Because he has always been at odds with Liu Laosi, no one invited him to today's banquet.
"Who came to my house today!?" Fang Huan asked as he almost roared.
"Today, this afternoon, Hua Gu seems to have been here. The thin monkey opened the door, leaned against it, and replied with his arms folded.
"What is she doing here!?"
"I didn't do anything, I just said a few words to your mother, I didn't listen to what I said, and I left. ”
"Hua Gu!" Fang Huan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"I said, what's wrong with you, kid?" the thin monkey looked at the boy very strangely.
Fang Huan didn't pay any attention to the thin monkey, reflexively rushed back to his yard, and picked up the woodcutter next to the firewood.
