Chapter 28: The Southern Star

At the beginning of August, I went back to the countryside and lived at my grandfather's house for a while, he is a retired old Chinese medicine doctor, but Rao is that he is retired, and there are still many people who come to him every once in a while. He was very kind, and I used to sit next to him, and he began to tell me some stories about Chinese medicine, and I found that the names of Chinese medicine are indeed very beautiful, such as Jingmo, such as Sedum, such as Banxia, such as Nanzhu, and my name, Luokui.

But he is also quite concerned about my studies, so I handed him all the transcripts of the first semester of high school, he put on reading glasses, looked at it very seriously, I sat next to him, he was boiling medicine, it was for Uncle Zhang next door, the medicine in the house was fragrant, shallow, as if the air around was also dyed with a clear and light green.

Suddenly, he laughed, pointed to a name and said to me, "This kid is also a Chinese medicine name!" ”

I leaned over to take a look, but I was surprised: "Gu Nanxing? ”

Grandpa squinted his eyes, smiled and said: "Yes, it should be called Aracea, which has the effect of expectorant and pain-relieving, and can also treat stroke paralysis, hand and foot spasms, headache and dizziness, convulsions and phlegm." Grandpa said eloquently, then suddenly looked at me and smiled: "But, although this is a good medicine, the seeds and underground bulbs taken directly from the plant are not edible, and those who eat it seriously will die." ”

I nodded suddenly, and suddenly remembered that when I first met before, Gu Nanxing had also asked me if my name was a Chinese medicine name, but I didn't know that he was the same until this moment, and I felt a little inexplicably happy.

Back in the room, I couldn't wait to send a message to Gu Nanxing: "I just learned that your name is also Chinese medicine." ”

Gu Nanxing's message has not been replied to for a long time, I picked up a medical book from my grandfather at random and flipped through it, and he replied: "You don't know until now." ”

I laughed a little unconvinced: "You didn't tell me either. ”

"A woman with shallow knowledge."

Seeing this, I was happy, Gu Nanxing is learning some strange domineering president? But it's kind of funny to learn.

But at the end of the day, we still have one more thing in common, just an inconsequential name, but I still feel happy.

Now, I often think of that ordinary afternoon, when I was happy and jumping around the room because of this little thing, so I also raised the corners of my mouth, but I felt a little inexplicable. At that time, I was as humble and cowardly as me, but I dared to secretly look up to the light that did not belong to me.

When a typhoon passed, a small tree in front of the village fell, and my grandfather took me to plant it and then went home, while I lingered around, and saw a little boy squatting in front of a banyan tree, patiently feeding a puppy to eat ham sausage, I was suddenly moved by some strange feelings.

I walked over and crouched down as well.

This is a particularly cute puppy, snow-white, fluffy, and looks like a small ball. The little boy looked like he was about six or seven years old, with chubby hands and faces.

"Does my sister like puppies too?"

I looked into his pure eyes and nodded.

"But my parents don't like it, so I can only raise it secretly." The little boy sighed, his face full of loneliness that did not correspond to his own age.

I was speechless for a moment and said, "Why don't you discuss it with your parents?" ”

The little boy shook his head vigorously: "Mom and Dad are dirty and don't provide for them, I'm afraid that Xiaobai will be cold and hungry, and I'm afraid that the bad guys will take them away." Then he suddenly looked at me with hope: "Can my sister's family raise me?" I nodded and went to my grandfather's house with a man and a dog.

But my grandfather was strangely easy to talk to, so Xiaobai settled in my house.
