Chapter 55: Sustaining Life
When the man saw me ask him, he looked a little proud and said, "That's a man of God!" I heard about her a few years ago when I was out doing business, and it was said that she was very skilled in medicine, and she could even make people immortal! Everyone said that she was already 120 years old, but she still looked like a young girl! ”
The people around me were amazed when they heard him say this, but I felt that this fact was a bit ridiculous. But he still asked casually, "So where is she now?" ”
The man replied, "How can such a man of God say that she will see it when she sees it, they all say that she has not lived in the world at all but has gone to heaven, and if she meets someone who is destined, she will send a messenger to pick him up and go to heaven to become an immortal together!" ”
I thought to myself, oh my God, it's not necessarily where the holy aunt is, you can brag about it, right!
simply turned around and was about to leave, but heard the man say again: "But when I was in Luoyang, I really met a buddy who said that he had seen the Holy Aunt, and he asked the Holy Aunt how to find her and seek medical treatment from her, and she said that she just went to the 'land where the water flows'." However, I have never heard of a river called 'Kanshui'...... When I went out, I went to a lot of places, all the famous mountains and rivers......"
Hearing him start babbling about the courage of the year, I didn't listen to it anymore and quickly left.
Before leaving, he saw Xu Xiangdong standing curled on the side, and remembered that his problem had not been solved, so he called him over and said, "I will also prescribe a prescription for you." Tomorrow, I will start working in the fields with other young people in the village every day for three months, and the results will be visible. ”
He was surprised and said, "Ah, that's it?" Don't you need to take any medicine? ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it definitely works!" ”
When they got into the car with Rui Wei and continued to hurry, they saw the father and son of the Xu family standing there from a distance, bowing and waving reverently!
Rui Wei asked me, "That person seems to be sick too, so you sent him away like this?" ”
I smiled and said, "What kind of disease, you see that his hands are more delicate than you, and they are pampered and raised at first glance." The more such a person, the worse the spleen and stomach, the spleen and stomach belong to the soil, the soil and water, the next step is the turn of the kidneys to suffer, the water is damp, and the heart and kidneys do not communicate and produce deficiency and heat. If you do more work, your appetite will be opened, and you can sweat and expel water and dampness, and your body will naturally be fine. ”
She listened and teased me, "You love prescriptions so much, you thought you had a pair for everyone!" ”
It seems that as soon as this little girl's body gets better, she will start to provoke again. Of course, I didn't show weakness, and immediately said seriously, "Yes! The next recipe I've prepared for you is called 'Ganmai Jujube Soup'. ”
"What does that do?" She asked.
"The symptoms of women are sometimes in a trance, disturbed hearts, restless sleep, and even disorder......ed words and deeds," I said.
She pondered it seriously at first, and when she heard the words "words and deeds", she instantly realized that I was laughing at her again, and she was immediately furious, and she was about to be rough when she came up!
I grabbed the horse hard and shouted, "This is it, this is it!" This is the 'sweet wheat jujube soup disease'! Ah...... If you don't stop the handcar, it's going to overturn! ”
Father Yan and Wang Shaoting listened to it on the side, and immediately laughed, just like that, the horse's head went south and continued to go straight to Luoyang!
After four or five days, one morning, we returned to the main road, in front of the road pedestrians in an endless stream, coming and going very lively, asked the next way, found that the front is to a big place, Jizhou subordinate to Hejian County.
Now that they are out of Youzhou, those black-clothed troops are probably beyond the reach of the whip. However, because of the many eyes and ears of the digging group, our original plan was to leave the official road and avoid crowded places, so as not to be tracked down.
But these days, people are sleepy and sleepy, and if you don't find a stable place to rest, it's really a bit unbearable.
And we also have a tricky problem, which is, there is no money.
Originally, when Rui Wei came out, he brought some money and things that had never been brought from Longshan. But she, a bad person, in addition to buying medicine when she rescued Xujiazhuang, she also helped wherever she went, and soon she used it almost all. The three of us men had empty minds and physical strength, but they couldn't exchange it for real money for a while, and after the supplies we carried were almost used, we suddenly became anxious.
When I used to read novels, I always envied those righteous people who walked the rivers and lakes, not because they had good martial arts, nor because they were surrounded by beautiful women, but because they were never short of money.
So, we unanimously decided to take the plunge and take a look around the city and find a way to get some money for it.
When we arrived at the city gate, the four of us parted, and agreed to gather at the city gate in the evening, whether we had gained anything or not.
Although it is inevitable that people will be a little apprehensive about being separated in this way, it is too easy to attract attention if four people who don't seem to be in line with each other act together, and if they are unfortunately caught by the enemy, the rest of them will also have a chance to rescue, which is better than being held in a nest.
After separating from them, seeing that it was still early, I did not rush into action, but walked around the city first.
When I was fine on the road, I once made up for the geographical knowledge of the current era from Wang Shaoting. They were shocked to see that I was always talking with the truth, but I was so uncommon-sense.
I already knew that Youzhou was roughly the area around Beijing, Hebei and Liaoning. And now we are in Jizhou, which is mainly in the current Shandong and Shanxi regions. It's a pity that I haven't been out of the Northeast much when I've grown up, not to mention what it is like here in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even what it's like here in modern times, and I've only seen it in books.
So when I walk on the street, I feel very interesting and curious to see everything, but unfortunately I don't have the money to buy it.
Only then did I remember that today's main task is to solve this problem, and as for how to solve it, I already have some plans.
Immediately took out a piece of white cloth from his arms, found a piece of wood on the side of the road and burned it, wrote the word "look" on the cloth with coke, and then found a slender wooden stick to support it, squatted on the side of the road, and waited for the rabbit to get up.
In fact, I really wanted to write the word "see a doctor" on it, but after walking around the city, I still didn't see any decent pharmacies. Without good medicine, I have no place for a bunch of theories, so I simply dismissed this idea.
In addition to knowing a little about Chinese medicine, I don't have any other skills, so I can't point to it, so it's better to use my three-inch tongue.
For a while, I really envied Rui Wei and Daddy Yan that they would work hard, at least they could sell their arts, and they could make money and exercise, wouldn't it be good!
But to my surprise, this small stall was just practiced, and it quickly attracted people's attention. Not so much because of how authoritative I looked, but because I was interested in my sign.
Several people came up and asked, "What is written on this?" ”
At that time, I was really going to faint, and I really wanted to shout wrongly: Lao Tzu really can't write seal scripts!
But how can a person in the service industry be so grumpy, I have to pretend to be serious: "This is the Sanskrit word for 'look'......" and then wondered whether to find some horsehair to put a mustache to help attract business.
After a long time of meaningless conversation, a girl stopped in front of me and asked, "I heard that there is a person here who looks like you?" ”
As soon as I heard it: Yo, it seems that this non-authentic signboard is not completely ineffective, and it seems to have played some propaganda role!
Hurriedly stood up and nodded in response: "That's right! The girl wants to see the face? ”
When she saw that I didn't even have a table or chair here, she pursed her lips as if she was a little distrustful, and asked, "Then guess what I came to ask you first?" ”
Hey, this is a test for me, I'm looking, not divination, if I can really predict the prophet, I went to the casino early, and I was still standing here in the sun! But the professions of physiognomy, divination, and word measurement have always been inseparable, so the master will play with you for a while.
I first took a closer look at this girl, and she looked like she was twenty-six or seventeen years old, and although she was not particularly beautiful, she was also beautiful, but there was an aggressive taste between her eyebrows.
In addition, when I watched the other women on the road just now, I found that although they had different buns on the back of their heads, as long as they were a little older, they all had no bangs on their foreheads. The girl in front of her is the same as Rui Wei, with short bangs, maybe it's because she hasn't married yet.
Besides, whether they marry or not, women are keen on seeing physiognomy and divination, and nine times out of ten they are for men.
So I confidently said, "Girl, you want to ask about marriage, right?" ”
I saw her eyes widen and she said in surprise, "Ah, how do you know?" I couldn't help but snicker.
With this good start, she obviously trusted me a little more, and asked eagerly: "Then tell me, when will my marriage come?" Why are all the girls who don't look as good as me married, but I can't always find a good man! Why is God so unfair to me......"
"Girl," I interrupted her grumbling, and said in a pretended deep voice, "this marriage is like a breeze, it can be welcomed but not stopped, it can be met but not sought, and when it will come, it depends on when you are ready!" ”
Curious, she asked, "What are you prepared for?" ”
I asked, "Has the girl been feeling bored lately, depressed and uncomfortable?" ”
She nodded yes again and again. I also said: "The anger is hidden inside, the resentment is exposed, and the marriage is like a frightened bird, wanting to kiss but not daring to approach." It's not as good as showing off the wisdom, floating and independent, I bloom by myself, and the colorful butterflies come from me. ”
I didn't know what I wanted to say, but it was like hitting her point, and she was silent for a while.
This is also to earn food, if it is a normal chat, I will definitely talk to this girl directly: "You are not ugly, if you can be gentle and kind, are you worried about not being able to find a man?" Even if you can't find it, you can just have a good time! I am anxious and angry every day to get married, and I don't solve any problems and make myself more and more uncute, isn't it! ”
As a veteran friend of women for many years, I have a good idea of talking to girls about this kind of topic.
The girl was obviously not a dull person, and I said a few nonsense words that seemed to wake her up at once, and made her smile with relief. With such a smile, it also looks much better than just now.
Seeing her smile and silent, I asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" ”
She shook her head, took out two small coins from her sleeve and handed them to me, saying, "Thank you!" And he turned and walked away.
I looked at her back and froze. I guess this girl also understood what I wanted to say, and came to me just to confirm her own thoughts, and to persuade herself through other people's mouths. Woman, I'm really convinced!
