This painting hangs in the most prominent position at the entrance of the pharmacy, and I remember being very curious about this painting before. There are very few paintings in other pharmacies, and even if there are, they are none other than Li Shizhen, Sun Simiao, or Bian Que Hua Tuo. However, the painting hanging in the second uncle's pharmacy has nothing to do with these ancient medical sages, or even the medical profession.

It depicts an old man with gray hair and strong spirits, holding a seal.

Now that I look at the painting carefully, I have a different idea in my mind. I couldn't help but look at the seal in the hand of the person in the painting.

The more I look at it, the more I feel that the square seal seems to be the Faqiu seal, in this way, the person in this painting is also a Faqiu people, and the status is extraordinary, I wanted to ask the second uncle about the specific meaning of this painting, but I was embarrassed to disturb him when the second uncle was busy.

I approached the painting myself and looked at it carefully, I didn't know much about painting, I couldn't tell what age it was, and I didn't understand the painting technique. But there is one thing that makes me a little strange, and that is that there is no money for this painting. But it can be hung here, coupled with the Faqiu seal in the painting, the person who painted it must have this close connection with Faqiu and even the Zhuo family. Therefore, I speculate that nine times out of ten it was painted by my grandfather.

Obviously, Grandpa was very concerned about this painting, because it was obviously very carefully framed. Unfortunately, it has been hanging here for quite a long time now. The paper is starting to turn a little yellow.

Curiously, I reached out and touched it, and found that a thick layer of dust had fallen on the painting, and it was clear that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

I couldn't help sighing, after all, it was also an old object of our Zhuo family, and it was obvious that the second uncle didn't treat it as carefully as grandpa. I didn't have much to do, so I was going to clean up the painting.

When I turned my head, I saw Xiao Liu, who was checking the number of medicinal materials next to me, and I called him. Xiao Liu put down the account book in his hand and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Ran?" ”

"Get me a feather duster!" I said to him.

Xiao Liu looked at me, and then looked at the painting on the wall and hesitated, so I urged: "Hey, why are you kid stunned!" Go ahead! ”

"Gotcha!" Xiao Liu nodded, reached out and took out a feather duster from under the counter, "Brother Ran, don't look at this painting dirty, it's not that we don't usually clean it, the key is that the second master instructed us not to touch this painting casually!" ”

"Oh!" I nodded, the second uncle didn't let them mess with the painting, was it because they were afraid of being damaged.

As soon as I grabbed the feather duster, stepped on a chair and began to clean. As soon as I dusted down, the fine dust flew up all at once. I immediately choked and coughed. The second uncle happened to come out of it and quickly covered his mouth, "What's the situation?" ”

Xiao Liu quickly pinched his nose and pointed at me, "Brother Ran said that he wanted to sweep that painting." ”

The second uncle walked over quickly, "Eldest nephew, are you planning to demolish the house?" ”

I jumped down from my chair, "Second uncle, how many years has no one touched this painting?!" ”

The second uncle shook his head helplessly, stepped on the chair and took off the painting directly, "Eldest nephew, if you want to be diligent and take it to the back room to clean it, there are other customers in my store!" ”

At the moment when the second uncle took the painting off, I saw a small groove in the wall behind the painting. I was shocked, and I wanted to ask, but thinking of the crowd here, I had to close my mouth and follow the second uncle into the back room.

After the second uncle entered the house, he threw the painting on the table. I said to my second uncle, "Who painted this painting of my second uncle?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "I don't know about this, but I remember seeing this painting when I was a child, and then your grandfather opened a pharmacy and hung it on the wall of the pharmacy." Maybe it's your grandfather, or someone else from the Zhuo family. ”

"Then why don't you let someone else touch this painting?" I asked.

The second uncle took the feather duster and swept it gently, "Anyway, it's also an old object, and it was left by your grandfather, I'm worried that the group of people will be damaged." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, Second Uncle," I reached out and opened the window as the house was overwhelmed, "I saw a groove in the wall behind this painting, Grandpa must have done it on purpose, what the hell is there?" ”

"You're pretty sharp-eyed, kid." The second uncle nodded, "Actually, it's nothing, and I don't know why your grandfather put these things there." ”

As he spoke, the second uncle took out a small wooden box from the cabinet, "Here, this is it, after I took over this medicine shop, I found this behind the painting." ”

Curious, I opened the small wooden box and found that there were small bundles of very thin cotton threads and the like, each of which was about 20 centimeters in size. But it looks a little stiffer than cotton thread. I reached out and took it out, looked at it carefully, put it under my nose and sniffed it, there was nothing unusual, I asked my second uncle, "What is this?" ”

The second uncle told me that this is called fire velvet. He had seen this kind of thing since he was a child, this kind of fire velvet is very flammable, but it doesn't burn very quickly. It takes less than a minute for a piece of firewire to burn completely. And this kind of fire velvet also has a characteristic, that is, it can emit extremely bright light when burned. The second uncle once stole some when he was a child, and lit them up at night to play. But after being found out by his grandfather, he reprimanded him fiercely.

The second uncle also told me that his grandfather once told him that this practice of fire velvet has been lost, and only these are the ones that remain, so how can the second uncle be allowed to play like this! Later, Grandpa hid this box of firestring fleece. It wasn't until later that the second uncle found them again in the back of the painting.

Hearing the second uncle say this, I was very strange, why did grandpa value this small bundle of seemingly useless fireline fleece so much? I said to my second uncle: "Second uncle, what is the wonderful use of this so-called fire velvet?" Did grandpa tell you? ”

The second uncle shook his head, "No, a few years ago, I also checked this matter and asked a master for advice, but no one knows what this fireline velvet is for." ”

"What about this painting?" I pointed to the table and said, "Is there any mystery to the pattern in the painting?" ”

The second uncle sighed, "I have had similar speculations, but after so many years, I haven't seen anything. Now I'm going to tell you about it, I'm old and my brain can't work, maybe you can get something. ”

I smiled, "Come on, don't make fun of me!" If you don't even see it, I'll be out of action! ”

The second uncle also smiled and didn't speak.

I turned my gaze to the velvet, and thought it was interesting, and grandpa wouldn't be untargeted, and he must have a reason for keeping this thing in this way. So I picked up the velvet and asked, "Second uncle, can you give me a few of this thing?" I'd like to look into it. ”

"Whatever!" The second uncle said, "This is what your grandfather left behind, gave it to me, and it was also for you, you can dispose of it as you like." ”

I nodded, then carefully pulled out a few and put them in my bag.
