Chapter 103: The Past Is Like Smoke
At this time, Lin Fei could even clearly feel the sadness of the old man in front of him, although the old man still did not speak, his silver hair was still fluttering, and his face was still rippling with a trace of kindness. k update
"When I came to the United States, I was an orphan, unlike you, who were born and cared for by your parents, and I experienced the era of China firsthand. My parents originally lived well, my father was an old Chinese medicine doctor, has been treating people, and the medical skills are superb, but later in the Cultural Revolution was arrested by a group of madmen to criticize, my father was tossed alive and died, and my mother also died of sadness because of my father's death, but fortunately, my father had a friend who took me to the mountains to hide for a while, and finally escaped, and then as soon as it opened, I took the opportunity to smuggle to Hong Kong, and after the introduction of my father's friend, I came to the United States from Hong Kong. Since then, I've always had a shadow of my hometown. Although I went back twice, I didn't try to find my relatives much, and the place I stayed in was a different place! "Tell me, the old man's tears are also flowing down.
Lin Fei may also realize that he mentioned the sad topic of the old man, so he apologized again and again.
"Huh! Actually! Now that I think about it, maybe it's nothing, but it's a little regretful! I didn't even have a chance to honor my parents at that time, and they just passed away! ”
"I can't believe you've had another experience like this! Is your medical skills family traditional? ”
"Huh! How can my three-legged cat kung fu be called a medical skill! I just learned a little bit under the influence of my father, and then my parents died, and I got the guidance of my father's friend, that is, my master. ”
"Chinese medicine is hard to learn, right? Many of my classmates also studied this, and it took at least seven years of college to get a little way! Lin Fei seemed to be deliberately diverting the topic, so that the old man could get rid of those sad pasts!
"Huh! Eight years? That's probably the shortest time! When I was eight years old, I followed my father as an apprentice, at that time, it belonged to the war era, many people could not afford to see a doctor, only able to use some earthwork to see a doctor, and Western medicine was not popular in China at that time! So when I was almost 6 years old, I came into contact with books about Western medicine, and later when I was 8 years old, I helped my father make medicine! I remember that at that time, although I was my father's son, I also suffered a lot! I clearly remember that at that time, there was a prescription, I had to use green bamboo with bamboo fire to make a medicine primer, and it had to be mixed with my own sweat, at least 4 hours to be able to boil into a pair of medicine, I suffered a lot at that time, that is, at such a young age, I actually relied on my own interest to give over! Later, when I was fifteen years old, I began to prescribe medicine, and at that time I was liberated! When our family was just liberated, we still received special care, after all, my father and mother had studied, and my father also knew a lot of Chinese medicine, which was very respected! At that time, I was also a little successful in studying medicine, but later, China began to be in chaos, at that time, the Gang of Four made China a mess, my father was persecuted because he was unwilling to admit that Chinese medicine is a harmful business, and I was also criticized a lot, at that time there were still some more far-sighted people who have been out to protect us, after all, at that time, there are not many people who know Chinese medicine! Later, the situation became more and more chaotic! My father couldn't support it and passed away directly! I also had to take refuge with my relatives! At that time, my relatives were still hiding in the Qinling Mountains, a generation of people, inaccessible places, and also avoided some hardships, and I found that although my relative was in the deep mountains, he was extremely exquisite, so I directly apprenticed! Later, the country corrected the line, and the problem of understanding, I thought about going out of the mountain, or some achievements, the master still did not believe that the world would get better, so he did not go down the mountain, but he gave me a letter, let me go to find a leading cadre he cured, I went directly to Hong Kong with the help of that person, and later someone in Hong Kong found out that I still know a little bit of Chinese medicine, so they helped me come to the United States, and then this is the case! ”…,
The old man seemed to open up the topic all of a sudden, and there seemed to be no tendency to stop. At this time, Lin Fei also seemed to feel that although this old man was more open-minded, there were so many endless sadness hidden behind him.
"Your children?"
"Huh! I don't have children! ”
Lin Fei is stupid again! Why doesn't this old man have children? Isn't China saying that there are three unfilial pieties, and the latter is greater? Why doesn't he have any children?
Without waiting for Lin Fei to speak, the old man spoke directly!
"My life! There are two regrets! The first one! Even I never got married in this life! The second one! I just haven't studied Chinese medicine thoroughly! Anyway, when I was about the same age as you, I met a girl, at that time! He was only 20 years old, but he was quite old at that time! Later, my family was criticized, and we were also scattered, until I left China, and I didn't see her again! ”
Lin Fei was even more unbelievable when he heard it, this old man turned out to be such an infatuated man! In his old age, he still misses the person he was at the beginning, and he never marries and has no children, how have he come over all these years?
The old man still didn't wait for Lin Fei to ask anything! Then he said: "Later, I came to the United States, I don't know anything about the language, and I am not familiar with people, and I got a lot of help from my fellow villagers, and I always survived, and then I started Chinese medicine acupuncture and massage, and prescribed some prescriptions, and gradually had my own little achievements, but after coming to this country, I almost didn't make any progress, because I almost didn't have anyone to ask, and I didn't have any books about Chinese medicine to read, even later, many Chinese medical books had translated versions, But it is also a few books that I know, so I am often familiar with the books I memorized when I was young, so that I now remember Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "The Eight Veins of the Strange Classics" quite clearly! Of course, there are also "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", but I can't remember a lot of things! If I'm in the country, maybe I can still get some results! It's a pity! ”
At this time, Lin Fei didn't know what to say at all! I was shocked by the old man in front of me, who was not too inconspicuous! It turns out that in this world, there are still quite a lot of cattle people!
