Grandpa said leisurely: "I think back then, in addition to your grandmother, there are several excellent women in the village who like me, this small village is isolated from the world, at that time the feudal ideology is still deep-rooted, plus there are many boys and girls, polygamy is a very normal thing, Zhao Da at the head of the village, there are four wives, and Ah San at the end of the village, there are also three, those girls directly expressed their love for me, I actually like it in my heart, they are all good women, is a good helper for the house, so your grandmother also agreed, and strongly encouraged me, But I have always been limited by modern thought, thinking that it is not dedicated to love, and flatly refused. In the end, they married someone they didn't like and died depressed. ”

Grandpa looks much older at this time, and the scars of love seem to be irreparable forever.

"I have never been trapped by etiquette in my life, but this matter is in accordance with the rules, I regret it, I regret it!"

Grandpa sighed: "Xiaolin, no matter what, you must carefully handle the relationship with them, you are very good now, excellent men will naturally have many girls like them, remember, don't be swayed by the world." I know that today's society is different from what it used to be, but you are a smart person, you use your brain, and you can solve everything. ”

I was also a little heavy by my grandfather's words, and nodded when I heard the words, but I was not half sure whether I could handle this annoying problem.

After taking Li Xiao to play for many days, I began to devote my energy to my grandfather's traditional Chinese medicine, and due to my own problems and my mother's cancer, I unconsciously began to become interested in medicine.

The breadth of Chinese medicine is indeed true, just the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" made me dizzy, burying my head in it every day, the shape, characteristics, growth conditions, leaves, the use of various parts of the fruit, the impact of picking time on the medicinal power are very particular, as well as acupuncture, diagnosis, etc., my grandfather is very knowledgeable, of course, he is also willing to teach what he has learned in his life to me, his most painful grandson, seeing that there are successors, in addition to rest and meal time, he simply keeps instilling all kinds of things to me every day.

There is only one large bookshelf in his study, which is divided into categories to put books in various fields of traditional Chinese medicine, some are written and some are old, so old that they can't see the age, the old is yellow, the handwriting is blurred, and the new one is published in that year, it seems that my grandfather will occasionally go outside to accept new things, not a pedantic and conservative person.

The books on this shelf are not much compared to the thousands of medical books in the library, but my grandfather proudly told me that the books here can contain almost all the books on Chinese medicine in the outside world. Although there are many books, they are basically the same reason, but with a slight change, plus some unnecessary nonsense, they immediately become a new book.

Even though I am smart and have an amazing memory, I can't digest so much for a while, and there are occasionally some of his unique radical thoughts, both medical and personal, and over time I have gone from being difficult to accept at first, and slowly feeling that some of his bizarre theories are very reasonable.

Among these things, I am most interested in acupuncture, because acupuncture has a lot to do with meridians and acupoints, although the Shaoyang Sutra is not recorded in detail in the medical books, but it is always beneficial to learn more about other meridian acupoints and touches. This is also my grandfather's most proud specialty, these days there are also some villagers who come to see a doctor, and he doesn't need to prescribe medicine for a minor illness, just two injections to solve it. The principle is to improve the activity of cells, that is, the ability to prevent epidemics, by stimulating the meridian acupoints, so as to achieve the purpose of resisting the invasion of germs. When I was a child, I suffered the most from minor illnesses, and I went back twice every three days, and I suffered greatly from them, so I was the most attentive to my studies.

It's just that it is not an easy task to master acupuncture, and there must be three harsh conditions: fast, accurate, and ruthless. For example, the acupuncture point, which is a very small area hidden in the body, the general location is similar to everyone, but the specific location varies from person to person, and it is that the difference adds a lot of difficulty to learning acupuncture.

If you start slowly, the resistance of the muscles will also cause the needle to deviate from the target during the needle placement process. People who are fat and thin should use different passages, and people with different bone thicknesses also have an impact on the position of the meridians near the bones, in addition, there are many factors such as the size of blood vessels, the number of muscle masses and so on. When I first saw my grandfather's needle, it was very casual, but it was very simple, and I didn't know how cumbersome it was until I actually got in touch.

Of course, I can't take people to prick people when practicing needles, my grandfather asked me to go up the mountain to pick some spotted mushrooms, which are wild mushrooms, edible, cold, and the most obvious feature is the snow-white umbrella leaves with pinholes in the big spots, and those small spots are my practice objects, I must treat them as human acupoints.

On the first day, I stabbed all the baskets of mushrooms and pricked them in the right place, until the second was a little accurate, but it was far from the standard that my grandfather said, the mushroom umbrella leaves are soft, and the human muscles are not so easy, even this can't be done well, I was annoyed, I thought I was too stupid, but at dinner my grandfather said that it was already progressing rapidly, when he first practiced a week at my level, this made me suddenly restore confidence.

Whenever I study, Li Xiao sat quietly beside me, when I was annoyed, she said something to relieve my boredom, what should have been a boring life became a lot more exciting, I know that she is not interested in these drugs and acupoints and other things, but she can obediently stay with me, which makes me quite moved.

My grandfather has been loving her more and more since listening to the origin of the relationship between Li Xiao and me that day, and it seems that my eccentric cousin is indeed very temperamental to my grandfather, and the old and the young keep discussing some strange questions, which is very harmonious. It's just that I'm a little worried, Li Xiaoren is tricky enough, and under the influence of my grandfather, I'm afraid it will give me more headaches.

In the inevitable ear and sideburns, our relationship has also been further improved, and then I simply took off my coat when I just went to sleep, and I didn't shy away from suspicion, I don't know if what my grandfather said had an impact on me, and I no longer deliberately avoided it.

More than two weeks have passed, and I have been at my grandfather's house for nearly a month, and although there are many questions that I have not understood, it is time to go back, and I am afraid that if I continue like this, it will explode soon.

And although Li Xiao is not too depressed, but the novelty at the beginning of life in the mountain village is over, it is estimated that it will make her tired for a long time, Director Li is also worried, Li Xiao said that she went to a female classmate's hometown in the countryside to play, she was afraid that her father would not agree, so she packed her luggage and clothes early in the morning, left a note and ran out, until she got in the car to tell me about it, which made me cry and laugh, such a "good" daughter, it is really difficult for her father.
