It all started when I was an old man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old man's ancestral origin is unknown, even my father is not very clear. I only know that he wandered in the Bayu and Chongqing areas all the year round, until his family moved to Yuzhou in 1943. It's about the whole family, but in fact, there is only one big yellow dog in the whole family, except for the old man and a few clothes.

After the old man settled down, he went to the city to work as a medicine catcher in a medicine hall, and he was also dealing with herbs on weekdays. Open the door to do business during the day, and read at night with the lamp at night. I often think that if I had half the perseverance of the old man at that time, I am afraid that the current prestigious school should also have a person like me.

The old man first got his hands on it in the spring of the second year. At that time, the weather was hot and cold, and the people queuing in front of the medicine hall could line up from the end of the alley to the end of the alley.

There are only a few people in the store, and it is really too busy to face the many people who seek medical advice. Those who know a little bit about medicine are basically ready, so the old man was pulled over to show his talent.

Although the old man was a big girl in the sedan chair this time, he did not panic at all. Pulse, take the ruler, prescribe the right medicine. What is said in the book is how he came, and what was not said in the book came according to his own thoughts.

The vigorous characters on the book instantly attracted the attention of the shopkeeper. Not afraid of danger, the most is the joy of doctors!

The shopkeeper has no children and no daughters under his knees, and then he has to recognize the old man as his godson. In the next few years, he raised the old man as his own son, and gave him all his lifelong medical experience.

The old man has been doing this for five years, from a young man in his twenties to a man in Bensan. Everything needs time to precipitate, and in five years, the old man has learned all the skills of his cheap father.

From the initial medicine grabber to the successor of the medicine hall later, no one will know how he walked along the way.

It is said that the old man was not satisfied with the status quo, and put on a green coat and traveled around the world to become a barefoot doctor. Carrying a broken wooden box, it was filled with medical books and medical tools. A person walked along Shandong all the way to Sichuan, and everyone and everything he met during the period was the biggest memory of his life.

The old man didn't really walk from Shandong to Sichuan on foot, and if he met a well-wisher, he would also hitchhike.

The old man got out of the car in Panzhihua, and it was already dark at that time. The old man thought that it was not convenient to travel at night, so he simply slept in a ruined temple next to the forest and waited for the early morning.

The forest is very large, and the old man said that he could not see the edge at a glance. But you can see a mountain peak not far away towering above the clouds, and the old man can't tell how tall it is.

The first half of the night was fine, calm and calm. But in the second half of the night, there were waves. First, the sound of frogs in the forest became rapid, and then several loud rumbling noises could be heard, which were even worse than thunder!

With such a big movement, the old man really couldn't sleep at night, and through the window of the broken temple, he could see the mountain peak outside with bursts of sparks!

Grandpa thought it was a nearby villager who was blowing up the mountain to get stones, so he wrapped his clothes and went out to take a look.

As a result, the frightened grandfather closed the temple door and got up!

The old man didn't dare to make the slightest sound, and even his breathing was carefully straightened first.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do all night, and the old man also stayed awake all night. It wasn't until noon the next day that the grandfather who was roasted by the sun couldn't stand it and opened the temple door tremblingly.

Maybe it was because it was dark yesterday, and the old man always felt that the mountain peak was a little strange when he saw through the sun in front of the temple again.

The old man only felt strange and didn't delve into it, and he couldn't help but shudder when he remembered last night's scene. The old man dragged three steps to the window, only to see a woman half-kneeling on the ground.

The night is certainly not comparable to the day, and the grandfather shook the woman's head with courage. As a result, before the hand was put down, the woman fell to the ground and never got up again.

The old man returned to the broken temple with the idea of saving his life and brought a wooden box, but this vein found that the woman had already died. Grandpa lifted the back of the woman's neck and found that her back was covered with corpse spots.

The old man was also powerless, so he had to dig a pit and bury the woman in it. When the grandfather was sorting out the woman's corpse, he accidentally found that the woman was clutching something in her hand. The old man gritted his teeth and broke the woman's hand, and then took out a piece of oilskin paper from it.

The old man stared at the oilskin paper for a while, but he didn't see the reason, so he simply picked up the oilskin paper and buried the woman in a simple mound.

After that, the old man went around in Yunnan again before returning to Yuzhou, he went back and forth almost half a rooster, and when the old man returned to his hometown, he was already in his thirties.

I asked the old man several times what he had seen that night, but he just shook his head and smoked hard.

The old man returned to the city and inherited his cheap father's medicine hall, and his former hometown was slowly forgotten with time.

That year, the old man was thirty-three years old and married his grandmother in the city. Grandma is also a well-informed family, and after marrying the old man, the two of them lived a nourishing life.

In another year they had three children, a son and two daughters.

When I was there, the old man was nearly eighty years old, and he sat on the Taishi chair in the medicine hall all day. Tea was placed on the table, and I squatted at the feet of the old man and listened to him tell me his old stories.

……

My name is Zhang Shanshui, and the good water is as good as water.

The name was given by my old man, and according to him, the water benefits all things without dispute. I guess I also want his grandson to be a pure-hearted person, but I'm completely a master who only goes in and can't leave.

Yaotangzi is still the same Yaotangzi, but since the old man's death, I have changed my name to Eighteen Mile Shop.

As for why, it's probably the reason why there are a total of eighteen medicine halls from the alley to me.

Even if you forget a lot of things, all of a sudden your memory will still flash through some fragments.

The old man died two years ago and lived to be ninety-six years old. I also took over Yaotangzi at that time, and I remember that when the old man died, he held my hand until he took his last breath. I knew that he was asking me to one day return that piece of oilskin paper to others, and I don't know how many times I heard him say this sentence in my life.

I lay on the Taishi chair where the old man used to lie down, guarding the medicine hall and looking at the oily paper in my hand.

I don't know what the material is, but it feels as silky as a woman's skin, and it seems to have a fragrance when you smell it coldly and carefully.

"Snatch the mud swallow mouth, sharpen the iron needle,

scrape the gold Buddha face and search carefully;

Looking for something out of nowhere, the rising tide is full of wine,

Quail in search of peas,

The heron splits the meat on the legs,

Mosquitoes have fat in the abdomen.

Lose the old gentleman! ”

I read a limerick poem on oily paper, and there was no other hint. I have also thought about all kinds of clouds and clouds such as wordless heavenly books, soaked in oil and soaked in water, but in the end they are all in vain.

Since the old man handed me the oilskin paper on his deathbed, I have been studying the mystery of it all the time for the past two years, after all, how can something that makes a person unwilling to let go until death be a mortal thing.

"Whew! Fat aunt, what are you doing! ”

I was thinking about being fascinated, but suddenly a fat body sat in front of me.

"Shanshui baby, my aunt always feels a little unhealthy these days, what's going on?"

The woman is also a neighboring family, and everyone calls her fat aunt because of her physique.

"Ahem!"

I coughed dryly twice, put away the oily paper, and put it in my arms.

The medicine hall left to me by the old man is located in the downtown area, and the streets are crowded with large and small businesses on both sides. The whole street is counted from the beginning, I am the eighteenth medicine hall, and I have not changed anything except the name since the old man left.

As for the display inside, the furnishings and the like are still the same as before. I beckoned the fat aunt to sit across the counter and placed the soft pillow under her wrist.

"Auntie, do you always feel dizzy and nauseous these days?"

After I finished the pulse, I asked seriously, I still know this bit about learning medical skills from the old man.

"That's not what's wrong, it's disgusting to stay overnight!"

After speaking, the fat aunt frowned: "It's coming, it's coming!" Vomit......! ”

In these years, those who have money and those who have no money have seen Western medicine, but the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions left by the ancestors have become home remedies passed on by people.

"Auntie, your blood pressure is a little high. There is nothing wrong with the rest, I'll prescribe you a prescription and just follow the above to catch some medicine. ”

I handed Wang De the prescription while prescribing the medicine, and motioned for him to lead the fat aunt to grab the medicine.

Wang De is the youngest son of my third aunt, and he is studying and staying with me nearby. This baby is clever when he was young, and he helped me a lot when I wasn't in the medicine hall.

"Yes, yes, auntie, you come with me to grab the medicine!"

Wang De took the fat aunt's arm and walked to the medicine cabinet to grab the medicine.

The whole medicine hall is still the same as when the old man's cheap dad was there. The size of the inside is almost 200 square meters, and the front is empty for nearly 30 square meters. The remaining part is the place for diagnosis, and part is the medicine cabinet where the medicine is stored. Inside, there are three compartments, one is the bedroom, one is the living room, and the other is the kitchen and bathroom. After all, it is in Xin'an, where every inch of land is valuable, and it is not easy to have a place to sleep.

It's not once or twice that I have cooperated with Wang De like this, as the main source of income for traditional Chinese medicine, I still rely on traditional Chinese medicine. There are so many medicine halls on the whole street, but there are no less crowds for the two of us, who doesn't know the two babies who sing double reeds in the eighteen-mile shop.

"Shanshui baby, thanks to you this time! Aunt Ming'er has to treat you well! ”

The fat aunt carried a few bags of Chinese medicine and slapped me on the shoulder.

The fat aunt felt fine, but my little body was almost not slapped by her a few slaps: "Fat aunt, you are polite, the most urgent thing is to get better!"

"Yes, yes, I'll hurry home and boil medicine!"

When the fat aunt was leaving, she didn't forget to look at me with her approving gaze.

"How?"

After the fat aunt walked away, I asked Wang De.

After Wang De pushed the last medicine cabinet into the medicine cabinet, he took out a pile of soft girls from his pocket and said, "No more, no less, three thousand is just right!"

It's not that I'm asking for a sky-high price, but that the original purchase price ratio of the medicine hall business is high. Take the 3,000 yuan as an example, excluding the cost and storage fees, it can basically only fall to about 1,000. Fortunately, this house was left by the old man, otherwise the rent alone would have been enough for me to drink a pot.

"Brother Shanshui, you see that this business is getting better and better, you ......"

Wang Deyi paused in front of the counter.

I watched this baby grow up when he was a child, and I knew what kind of he was pulling when he squatted down. How could it be difficult for me to get this little bit of flowery intestines, I pulled the money in his hand and counted one for him: "A bag of gold leaves, and the rest should be treated to you."

"Oh, I see."

Wang De drooped his head and wilted in an instant.

"I'm waiting for you in Yuzhou, waiting for you to go to Luoyang with me, Luoyang to see the scenery......" At this time, a loud and crisp voice came, and the mobile phone I put on the table suddenly rang.

I picked up my phone and looked at it, and the area indicated on the caller ID was Beijing: "Hey, who is it?"

"You, can't you even hear my voice, master!"

A thick male voice came from the other side of the phone.

I was about to wonder who this Lord was, when another voice came from there: "His grandmother's, the little master Yu Houtu!" You're too inauthentic, come to the airport to pick me up! After a few hurried words, he hung up the phone.

"Yu Houtu?"

I almost laughed at the thought of the name.

Yu Houtu is my hair small, the difference in size between the two of us is 98 days, and the name Yu Houtu was also given by the old man. Kindness is like water, virtue is loaded, it is estimated that the old man will not think that one of us can't get on the water and the other can't carry things.

Yu Houtu is not a heavy master by nature, and when I was in school, he often took me to skip class and pick up the wall. I still remember that it was a morning when we ran away and we went to the market to eat dog meat. Dog meat is raw dog meat, and the butcher cuts a piece directly from its back. Then we were chopped into small pieces with a boning knife, and we could eat it for a day with salt.

The two of us went to the same class from elementary school to high school, but Yu Houtu was taken to the field by his father in the early stage of the college entrance examination. After graduation, I returned home and inherited the old man's medicine hall, and Yu Houtu has been cut off since then.

It's just that I didn't expect that the two of us would have the opportunity to meet again, and I didn't expect that the guy would go to Beijing.

I took the cigarette that Wang De bought, lit one, picked up my coat and walked out!

"Who's in charge?"

I hadn't taken three puffs of a cigarette before someone interrupted me.

"I am, I don't know ...... two?"

I looked at the two men who walked in outside the door, puzzled. It stands to reason that spring in the north should be hot and sultry, but the two people in front of them are good, and they don't know how many clothes they have draped on, layer upon layer like a mille-feuille. Even a thick scarf was put around his neck.

"See a doctor."

The two of them pressed their hats very low, and the scarves around their necks were tightly wrapped. I can only deduce from my voice that the two men are in their thirties.

"Wang De, you come and show the two masters."

At that time, I was only thinking about Yu Houtu, who I hadn't seen for a long time, where would I still be in the mood to see a doctor. Wang De also learned a lot of skills from me, not to mention other things, he can still cope with some minor illnesses and disasters.

"Wait!"

I hadn't even taken two steps before one of them grabbed me, and the cigarette butt in my mouth fell to the ground!

"What do you want!"

I was also stunned at the time, it was the first time I had seen a patient treat a doctor like this when he was so old.

"See a doctor."

One man pulled me and the other said.

It was then that I calmed down. Because the strength of the man is too big, and it is a little terrible. Although I am relatively thin, I am also a young man. But no matter how much I struggled, I couldn't shake the man in the slightest, but I felt that the man's hand was getting tighter and tighter!

I looked down at the man's hand as soon as I was struggling, and saw that his palms and backs were all covered with a thick layer of calluses! Not only that, but his entire palm is more than half a circle larger than the average person! I turned my head and looked at the other man, his hands as big and thick as the hands that grabbed my arms!

"Do you see a doctor like this? I'll call the police if I don't let go! Wang De took the mobile phone and scolded angrily.

Maybe I felt that I was doing something wrong, or it could be a deterrent to call the police, but in short, the man then let go of my arm.

I immediately rolled up my sleeve to inspect it, and found that the top of my elbow was red from the man's grasp. I could faintly feel the muscles inside stretching, and before I put my hand on it, it hurt for a while, and I grinned for a while.

At this time, I felt that the two men standing in front of me were terrifying, at least not simple. Not to mention the man's iron tong-like hands, I don't know how many years it will take to train like that with that strength alone!

"What kind of illness do you two want to see?"

I lit another cigarette, for I felt that my little thought was as clear as a thousand horses in front of the two men.

Neither of the two men spoke, but as they took off their scarves, I was speechless in astonishment......
