Chapter 141: The Compound Changes

Gu Jingui: "People speculate that maybe the medical skills can't reach that height. You can see minor illnesses and injuries or something, and it's almost a medicine to get rid of the disease.

"If people don't show it, there's no way. Especially for the elderly, if they have a serious illness, they will confess. There are almost no elderly people over the age of 70 in this village. Speaking of which, Uncle Changzhu is a mile older. ”

Gu Changzhu: "I'm blind, my family is poor, I'm afraid of causing trouble to them, so I grit my teeth and live." As soon as there is a problem, drink boiling water to remove the fire. ”

"That's what people have to do. It's not easy to come through, how can you give up easily! Did his daughter-in-law find him later? Qi Xiaoting led the topic to finding someone again.

The medical ethics of the surname branch are not something that she, a passerby, can reverse. Looking for someone, she promised the village chief first and then the family.

Gu Jingui: "No. It didn't take long, and another one was renewed. However, his woman never went out of the gate, and we didn't meet a few times, so I really don't know how to get lost. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Don't you live together?" ”

Gu Jingui: "Not here." The branch compound is in the southwest of the village, and there is a small river ditch in the middle, more than a mile away! ”

"Actually, that's the head of this village." Gu Changzhu blinked his eyes that couldn't see anything, and said with a dry tobacco pouch in his hand.

Qi Xiaoting: "Oh. What's going on? Uncle, can you tell us about it? ”

Qi Xiaoting has already become interested in this "Zhi Da Doctor": medical ethics and medical skills are not good, but the reputation is very good, what kind of person is this!

When Gu Changzhu heard Qi Xiaoting ask, he was happy in his heart: This is the great benefactor who saved his grandson's life! After taking two puffs of dry tobacco pouches, he opened the conversation:

"According to my grandfather, it was a rented house of a rich man at first, and then a big mansion was built, and the rich man's family moved in.

"As soon as the rich man moved in, people found that this was a treasure of feng shui: there were nine roads around the house, known as 'Kowloon Mouth'. Every year, from the day of the winter solstice until Qingming, as soon as the sun comes out from behind the mountain in the early morning, the first rays of sunlight must shine on the rich man's house. The rest of the place was still cloudy, and only the whole courtyard was shining gold.

"I heard that the rich man's house was very popular at that time, and his wife and concubines were like clouds, and there were herds of mules and horses. Outside, the mountains, forests, and land are connected into a patch, which is thousands of hectares large. There are also more long-term and short-term workers hired. We are the dwelling house that the rich man built for the long-term workers.

The rich man's surname was Lin, and when the long-term workers talked about their residence, they said that it was on the edge of the Lin family's compound, and later it was called Linbian Village.

"Later, I don't know what happened, the house suddenly became haunted, and two family members were scared to death."

Gu Changzhu stopped, knocked the dry tobacco pouch without sparks on the edge of the kang, touched the cigarette pouch purse, put the cigarette pouch pot into it, turned around, pressed it, and held the cigarette pouch in his mouth.

He also beat the moxa with a flint and fire sickle, and then pressed the sparkling moxa on the cigarette pouch pot. With a hard sufficiency of his mouth, sparks rose from the pot of the tobacco pouch - the dry tobacco leaves were lit.

The whole process is meticulous and in place, step by step, more neat than a person with eyes.

Qi Xiaoting was surprised.

Gu Changzhu took a big puff of "hiss", slowly spit out a large smoke ring, and in the smoke, he began to tell his story again:

"It was rumored that the house of the rich man Lin was haunted for a short time, and the courtyard of the house became deserted. The family disappeared like water vapor, and no one saw their family again.

Later, another story came out. Some people say, "What kind of ghost is to scare away wild animals." Some people also said that the family probably called the wolves as dry food!

"Because there were a lot of wild animals at that time. Coincidentally, in the middle of the night, a group of wolves came to the Changgong's house here, scratched the door and window with their claws, and screamed directly, listening to the grits man!

"The next morning, there were paw prints in front of the house and behind the house, and wolves scratched on the walls.

"The wild animals came for several nights in a row, and the long-term workers who lived here couldn't sleep. At that time, it was Layue, there was no farm work, and the long-term workers did not go to the Lin family's compound every day.

"When everyone remembers that they should tell the master's family, there will be no one in the Lin family. Even the long-term workers didn't know where they went.

"Since then, the wild animals have not been here.

"Without the control of the rich man, the long-term workers cultivated the land of the rich man in the spring of the second year, and became self-supporting laborers. Gradually, they all moved their families here, and it became a small village. It is still called Linbian Village and has been used to this day.

However, none of the long-term workers dared to go to the Lin family's compound. Everyone still believes that the house is haunted. It is said that in the middle of the night, he saw the ghost fire flickering and flickering; It is said that he saw a female ghost with a cloak floating inside. I often hear all kinds of strange sounds.

"It is said that there are neighing horses, people barking, shouting and killing, and swords, guns, swords and halberds clanging and rumbling, and the formation is like thousands of troops and horses fighting on the battlefield in ancient times.

"There was an old man in the village who lived to be more than 70 years old. Once, he passed by in front of the door of the rich man Lin, and he was confused as he walked, and went straight to dawn, and when he saw it, he was still circling the wall of the rich man's house!

After the old man's statement was confirmed, people were even more afraid to approach. Even if you have to pass by, you have to take a detour.

Later, out of nowhere, an old feng shui gentleman came, and people called him Mr. He. Seeing that there were still houses in the Lin family's compound that could be lived, he lived in them. During the day, I carry a blanket to show people Feng Shui, and I live in it at night.

"That feng shui gentleman came dressed in shabby clothes and looked very poor. But after staying for a while, suddenly the shotgun changed, the clothes were neat and bright, not to mention, and he also wore gold rings and bracelets on his hands. In particular, the gold bracelet, yellow and clear, as thick as a little finger, people speculated that it had to sink a catty.

Not only is he dressed, but some people who have been to his room say that the hand-made goods in his house are also very expensive, and the pots and bowls are all gold-edged, and the patterns are also very unique. If you sell it at the antique market, it's worth the money! I don't know if this is true or not.

"One winter, a group of robbers somehow heard that Mr. Feng Shui was rich, and they came to rob him on a moonless night, killed him, and robbed him of all his gold and silver jewelry and valuable articles in the house, including his gold-rimmed pots and dishes.

"The old people said that the winter was very cold that year, and after a heavy snowfall, people hardly went out. When the weather is good, some people say that they haven't seen Mr. Feng Shui for a long time. A few people went there as companions to take a look, only to find that Mr. Feng Shui had been dead for some days. ”

The room was quiet. The three of them were all attracted by Gu Changzhu's narration, and no one said anything.

Gu Changzhu sighed and took another puff of cigarette, the cigarette pouch didn't know when it had been extinguished. knocked the tobacco bag pot on the edge of the kang, loaded a pot of dry tobacco leaves, skillfully lit it with flint fire sickle, and continued to speak:

"Listening to the old man, Mr. Feng Shui's two eyes are still as wide as bells, that is reluctant to pay the money, and he will not die.

"After Mr. Feng Shui died, people were even more afraid to go to the house. Later, after years of war and chaos, the house was set on fire by someone who didn't know it, and the house burned down. The Lin family compound completely disappeared from there.

Later, Dr. Zhi's grandfather came here again, and built the current big courtyard on the east side of the Lin family compound, more than ten meters apart. The north and south are generally the same as the Lin family compound, and the east and west are wider than the Lin family compound.

"The family doesn't farm land, they don't buy mountains and forests, they only plant flowers, grass, trees and so on in the courtyard, and they are growing vigorously. People say that what people grow is medicinal herbs, refined or dried and sold out. I can't stop driving the wagon to pull the goods to the city.

"Everyone wants to know what he grows and wants to get to know him. But people are not very happy to associate with the people in the village, and they keep a door closed all day long, and they are mysterious.

"Their family is very rich, and they have built one house after another, and if they don't deal with it, they tear it down and rebuild it. Until the compound was covered, and the flowers and plants were moved to the house to be raised. It is said that people call it a conservatory, and the flowers still bloom and the grass grows in winter.

"But the men in their families don't live long, the grandfather of the doctor lived to be in his fifties, and his father lived to be in his forties. Dr. Zhi lived in his twenties and supported the family.

"Dr. Zhi is different from his grandparents, although he is usually silent and silent, but he is very good to people, often bring some injured and sick beggars back to the house, use the flowers and plants he planted to decoction and cook medicine, cure them, and then send them away.

He also often interacted with the people in the village, and whoever had a headache and brain fever, he would give a few herbs and let them decoction them, and they would all be cured of the disease. The people in the village had a good impression of him.

"When people from other villages heard about it, they also came to ask for medicine. came and went, and he became a trusted doctor in this bend. ”

When Gu Changzhu said this, as if he had completed an important task, he took a long breath and smoked without a puff.

"Don't look at the uncle's eyes, when it comes to the things in the village, you know more than anyone else." Gu Jingui said to Qi Xiaoting: "I don't know what he said, especially the old and perennial things. ”

Gu Changzhu: "Because I am blind, I can inquire about things, and I will remember it when I hear it." Unlike you, who see a lot and don't remember things specifically. Master, what's this called? ”

Qi Xiaoting smiled: "This is called, 'God closes a door for you, and will definitely open a window for you'!" It shows that all people are equal in destiny and God is fair! ”

Gu Changzhu: "Yes, that's what it means. That's how I encourage myself. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "It seems that this doctor has a good reputation in the village. ”

Gu Jingui: "Not bad. However, it is only to treat some minor diseases, and major and serious illnesses are not treated. I don't know if it's because the medical skills can't be reached, or if I don't want to see it, I shirk it when I see a serious illness. After a long time, people don't look for him if they have a big problem. ”
