Chapter 15: Talent Exposed
The dog days passed, and the weather gradually cooled.
On this day, Shi Sui was at Uncle Yuan's house again, the reason was naturally that Lou Changyun went to the mountains to hunt, but for some reason, Uncle Yuan always asked Shi Sui to read medical books recently, even if he knew that Shi Sui would doze off if he couldn't read a few pages.
The time has passed, the sun is not hot, and even if you can dry the herbs, people will not feel too hot when they stand in the sun.
After a few days, he would come to Uncle Yuan's house to eat and drink for nothing, and he was embarrassed after a long time, so he helped Uncle Yuan dry the medicinal herbs, and someone came to see the doctor to help grab a few medicines.
To Uncle Yuan's surprise, Shi Sui usually doesn't like to read medical books and always likes to doze off, but every time he reads those few pages of books, after letting him recognize the medicinal materials, even the medicinal properties can be said word for word.
This made Uncle Yuan's mind come alive again, An Yizhi is a Xuanshi, and the foundation is taught by Uncle Yuan, but in order not to waste An Yizhi's talent, the skills of Xuanyi are learned in the academy; Although An Yue is smart, her mind is not on medical skills, and Uncle Yuan does not force it. Therefore, Uncle Yuan's medical skills are facing the point of no one inheriting him when he is old, and now that he is old, how can Uncle Yuan not like it?
Uncle Yuan felt that Shi Sui might be a surprise sent to him by God.
The little surprise Shi Sui suddenly called out loudly: "Uncle Yuan, come and see, is this silk hidden flower wrong?" ”
Uncle Yuan ran out when he heard the sound, only to see Shi Sui holding a dried flower in his hand, and under the illumination of the golden crow, a faint silky silver light flashed.
It is recorded in "Wancaolu" that the silk hidden flower blooms with eight petals, and is named after its faintly visible silver light under the sun.
The silver light of the silk flower, even if it is ground into medicinal powder, you can faintly see such a little brilliance, which is amazing.
Uncle Yuan took the silk hidden flower in Shi Sui's hand, and carefully looked at it in the sun, but not only the appearance but also the silver light that only existed in the sun, this silk hidden flower all matched.
"Suisui, tell Uncle Yuan, how does the silk hidden flower be described in "Wancaolu"?" Uncle Yuan thought that he hadn't read the book carefully and made a mistake.
Inexplicably, Uncle Yuan is still a little happy, he was happy to be the medical secretary before the age of the year, but he has never made a mistake but it also worries him, he is afraid that when the age of the future will go out from him to make a mistake, and then there will be no guidance from him, a small mistake is fine, if it is a big mistake, it will be difficult to make up for it.
But when he opened his mouth, he said the appearance characteristics of the silk hidden flower, and even the medicinal effect.
Now Uncle Yuan is confused, and he clearly remembers it clearly and correctly, how can he still think that this silk hidden flower is wrong?
"Uncle Yuan, doesn't it also say in the book that there is a kind of weed that grows like a silk hidden flower, but it has no effect," Shi Sui raised his chin towards the flower in Uncle Yuan's hand, "This flower is the weed described in "Wancao Lu", not a silk hidden flower. ”
It is also recorded in the "Wancao Lu" that there are often weeds in the silk hidden flowers, and the appearance is the same as that of the silk hidden flowers, and even the silver light is there, which is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish with their eyes.
Xuanshi can tell the difference, but the silk hidden flower is a mortal flower, and there is usually no Xuanshi who will be condescending to the noble.
Fortunately, this weed is not poisonous and harmless, and when the two are mixed together, the medicinal effect will be reduced, and the rest is fine.
Uncle Yuan was surprised and hissed, "Then how did you tell the difference?" ”
Regarding the method of distinguishing the silk hidden flower, "Wancao Lu" also records that although the weeds also contain silver light, but different from the silk hidden flower, the method of identification is to put the two into the fire to roast, when the silk hidden flower burns, the silver light will float on the surface, and the whole flower will be as bright as silver for a moment, but the weeds are different, and they will turn into ashes as soon as they enter the fire, and there will be no silver light.
As for other methods of identification, the author of the Wancaolu did not specify it, and if there were other easy methods, this method of burning the herbs was included in the book.
The author of the book is no longer available for many years, but the pharmacological knowledge in the book is still in use today, and it is an introductory book for all doctors.
Shi Sui's answer was simple, "Didn't you show me the Silk Hidden Flower yesterday?" This one is not the same as the one you gave yesterday. ”
"What's the difference?"
"Isn't it written in the book?" At that time, he thought that Uncle Yuan was testing what he read yesterday, but on the next page about the method of distinguishing, he fell asleep at the time, and he didn't read it, so he tried to pretend to be righteous and confused.
"What is written in the book? Go and take a look at that book! Uncle Yuan was led astray by Shi Lao's answer, and he was so excited that he even unconsciously raised his voice. Uncle Yuan thought that there were other books that described the method of distinguishing silk hidden flowers, but he ignored them when he read them at the time.
Shi Sui was stunned by Uncle Yuan's loud voice, and a trace of misfortune flashed in his heart, so he hurriedly ran to the study to open "Wancaolu" and take a look - it had to be burned to distinguish it, and his face was bitter at the moment.
Uncle Japan didn't know why, saying that he had nothing to do at home all day, so it was better to read some medical books with him so that he could help him. Although Shi Sui has always wanted to help with housework, whether it is Lou Changyun or Uncle Yuan, they will not let him do it, Uncle Yuan said that he has nothing to do, and Shi Sui is really wronged. But Uncle Yuan said that he wanted him to dry herbs, pound medicinal powder or something, and he was quite happy at the age of the year.
Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be raised as a wasted person.
It's just that the medical book is really boring, which is as vivid as a travelogue, and every time I look at it, I can't help but doze off, and finally I can't help falling asleep.
Yesterday was the tenth page prescribed by Uncle Yuan, and when he saw the eighth page, he couldn't hold it.
If time could go backwards, Shi Sui promised that he would honestly read the next two pages, and he would not be in such an embarrassing situation now.
Where can he distinguish the difference between a silk flower and a weed with the naked eye, it is nothing more than his talent and perception.
What to do, what to do...... Shi Sui was anxious to spin around the study, and a dense layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Years old." Uncle Yuan called in the courtyard, and his voice came from far and near.
Oh no, Uncle Yuan is going into the study, but he hasn't figured out a way to deal with it yet.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a familiar hearty voice sounded outside: "Uncle Yuan, Sui Sui, look at what I found today." ”
"Oh, you're a good kid, you can hunt a young Fire Cloud Fox Beast!" Uncle Yuan's voice was far away.
Lou Changyun was praised by Uncle Yuan with a happy face, Huoyun Fox is good at fire, and his speed is extremely fast, especially the female fox who has just given birth to a cub, in order to protect the cub, can exert extraordinary combat effectiveness.
Usually against the Fire Cloud Fox, after the Fire Cloud Fox finds out that he is invincible, he will run away in a smoke, and it is difficult for ordinary Xuanshi of the same level to kill, let alone capture.
Lou Changyun hugged the Huoyun fox cub who couldn't even open his eyes, wondering why Shi Sui hadn't appeared. Uncle Yuan liked this young beast very much, and when he saw the cub open his mouth, he went to the kitchen to get some rice soup to feed.
"Age?" Lou Changyun called.
Shi Sui heard Uncle Yuan's voice far away, so he came out of the study and beckoned to Lou Changyun.
As soon as Lou Changyun entered the study, Shi Sui recounted what had just happened as it was, and then looked at Lou Changyun pitifully.
The delicate brows frowned, just like the appearance of the probe beckoning.
Lou Changyun immediately remembered what happened in the town before, "So you can know that Zhuo Ying is in the hands of Dr. Zhang, and she also relies on this?" ”
Shi Sui nodded, "Well, I have been able to perceive grass and trees since I was a child. ”
"So your weakness during the day and night was also caused by perceiving the grass and trees?" Lou Changyun clearly remembered that he had told him that if he needed to eat blood, he would tell him in advance, but that night was obviously an emergency.
Lou Changyun originally thought that everyone had secrets, and he was no exception, if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask, and when he was willing to say it, he would listen to it.
Shi Sui hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Then you dare to use it casually?" Lou Changyun put the Huoyun Fox in his hand casually, and rushed out with Shi Sui in his arms.
"Y-What are you doing!" Shi Sui subconsciously hugged Lou Changyun's neck, and was frightened by Lou Changyun's sudden move, "Let me go!" ”
Lou Changyun rushed home with Shi Sui in his arms, and Uncle Yuan, who came out of the kitchen, only had time to watch the backs of the two disappear in his field of vision, and couldn't help but sigh that the world was declining.
A bowl of cold red liquid was held in his hand, and Lou Changyun stared at Shi Sui, and there was a sign that he would pour it into his mouth if he didn't drink it.
Shi Sui didn't understand what was wrong, so he looked at the bowl and Lou Changyun with a puzzled expression, "I don't have to drink blood yet." ”
After some difficult communication, the two finally knew that they were making a joke with each other.
Before An Yi gave that incident, Shi Sui's body was weak and he didn't look like this, Lou Changyun thought that Shi Sui would be like this this time, so he anxiously brought him back.
Shi Sui explained that his body was weak because of the Xuan Qi contained in the medicinal powder, but perceiving ordinary plants and trees, for him, was like breathing, it was an innate instinct.
Lou Changyun, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, what about the Silk Hidden Flower?" Shi Sui asked.
Lou Changyun was relieved to raise his anger again.
There was such a big mistake in Uncle Yuan, Lou Changyun couldn't think of a perfect solution, he didn't know anything about these medical skills, at most he knew a little under the influence of Uncle Yuan and An Yizhi, after all, he often went to the mountains to collect medicine, but if he wanted to study a method of identification that the author of "Wancaolu" failed to discover, it would be really embarrassing for him.
"Or," Lou Changyun said hesitantly, "Tell Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan is his own person, and I believe he won't tell anyone else." ”
"Huh?" Shi Shi's first reaction was to refuse, but after thinking about it, there was no other way than the method that Lou Changyun said, and ...... Uncle Yuan treats him very well, except for forcing him to read medical books every day, everything follows his wishes, and he is reluctant to suffer the slightest grievance.
"Then tell Uncle Yuan," Shi Sui tugged at Lou Changyun's sleeve, "You said to Uncle Yuan." ”
