Chapter 24 Planning and Grasping Traditional Chinese Medicine
And finally, weapons!
Although I didn't bring anything into the Liaozhai painting book last time, but be prepared, the world of Liaozhai is not a good place, the chaos is small, and the demons, foxes and ghosts are big!
Thinking of this, Bai Ze suddenly remembered some small objects he treasured, these things that were once just souvenirs, and now they may be of some help to his future trip.
Bai Ze pulled out a small wooden box covered with dust from under the bed, wiped it with a damp cloth, and opened the small box that had been dusty for many years.
The first thing that catches your eye is a few photos.
Bai Ze's movements couldn't help but slow down, the first few photos were all photos of a pair of men and women snuggling together, the man was very handsome in a tunic suit, just to that station, people's eyes would involuntarily look at him.
In comparison, the woman is very ordinary, but the happy and soft smile on her face is very infectious, and the two stand together indescribably natural, and they don't seem abrupt and incompatible at all.
These two people are Bai Ze's biological parents, and they should be the people he is most familiar with, but in Bai Ze's memory, the appearance of these two people is very vague, and there is almost no impression. Every time Bai Ze looked at the photo, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
The following photo shows a familiar person, this one was taken by grandfather and father together shortly after Bai Ze was born. At this time, Bai Ze's mother had passed away, and the faces of the two people in the photo were a little heavy, and they wanted to force a smile but couldn't smile at all. Grandpa hugged Bai Ze, but his father had some distance from the two, as if he was a little estranged.
Next is a photo of a family of three in the park, Bai Ze's current mother is holding him, and his father's face is also seeing the sun again, and the two are very happy with each other.
The last photo was taken a few years ago, that was the last time grandpa met Bai Ze before his death, Bai Ze was in the third year of junior high school at the time, and he had a strong sense of strangeness after not seeing his grandfather for a long time, and he couldn't smile on his face when he took pictures, on the contrary, grandpa smiled very brightly.
Bai Ze carefully put away a few photos, and the other things in the wooden box were also revealed. A jade lock that his father brought when he was a child, a hosta that his mother tied her hair before her death, and a discarded amulet given to Bai Ze by his grandfather, and four other grandfathers carved it, Bai Ze's biological parents and a small wooden figure of his grandfather's family of four, at the bottom is a "martial arts cheats" that he was addicted to for a while when he was a child.
Bai Ze brought the wine worm over and put it on those old objects to see if the wine worm could sense something strange, but the wine worm crawled in it twice, got covered in dust, and shouted at Bai Ze aggrievedly "ribs and ribs", Bai Ze sighed and put the wine worm back on the table.
Sure enough, there is no good thing. Although it was an expected result, Bai Ze was still a little disappointed, he picked up the "martial arts cheats" under the box and looked through it.
This was obtained by Bai Ze when he went to his grandfather's house at the age of six, at that time, Jingu martial arts novels were in vogue, and Hong Kong and Taiwan were often remade and moved to TV, and the children in the village were all obsessed with all kinds of exercises in TV dramas, and Bai Ze was naturally no exception.
It was the children in the village who said that Grandpa Bai Ze was a master of the hidden world, and the adults in the family said that Old Man Bai knew kung fu and knew yin and yang.
When Bai Ze heard the news, he excitedly ran back and pestered his grandfather, so that he had to teach him peerless martial arts.
Grandpa Bai Ze put down the half-carved wooden figure in his hand, entered the house with a smile, and when he came out, he really took out a "cheatbook" with a villain painting.
But after half a month, except for the sun like coal, Bai Ze did not feel any physical changes. Children don't believe in evil, Bai Ze still firmly believes that he is not an ordinary person, one day when the sun is hanging high, he ran to the head of the village and hit a small tree with a straight punch, and then Bai Ze covered his red and swollen little hands, sat on the ground and cried bitterly.
Later, as he grew older, Bai Ze once again turned out this "cheats", and he understood that it was just some ordinary exercises and breathing methods such as Zama steps and plum blossom piles, and it was not a martial arts cheat. Then he threw it under the box and didn't notice it anymore.
But with the different information known, grandpa's legendary life has revealed the tip of the iceberg in front of Bai Ze. Bai Ze once again carefully flipped through this book of gymnastics and suddenly felt the solidity and heaviness of the foundation of this book.
Time is pressing, the family will be back tomorrow, and Bai Ze only has one afternoon of free time. He put away the forging cheats, got dressed, looked at himself in the mirror, and once again settled on an item in his heart, he needed a baseball cap.
The Wine Bug was still curiously touching the Transformers model on the table, it had never seen anything like this.
Bai Ze didn't give it any more time to play, grabbed the wine worm and asked solemnly:
"Do you know how to concoct potions?"
The wine bug looked at Optimus Prime on the table reluctantly, and nodded without hesitation.
Bai Ze's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he nervously asked again:
"Then is the medicinal wine you concocted more effective?"
The wine worm began to get confused, and looked at Bai Ze in confusion, it had never seen the medicinal wine brewed by others, but it didn't know if the wine it brewed was stronger than others.
Bai Ze saw that the wine worm didn't answer for a long time, so he changed his question and continued to ask:
"Then you're going to choose the herbs for brewing?"
The wine worm did not hesitate this time, raised his head triumphantly, and nodded his head in disbelief.
Bai Ze was overjoyed in his heart, stuffed it into his pocket in his clothes pocket amid the protesting cries of the wine bugs, pushed open the door and went out to buy medicinal herbs.
Shengkang Chinese medicine store is also regarded as the city's time-honored signboard, all because the Shengkang clinic next door has a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor in the province, most of the people who come here to buy medicine are to go to the old Chinese medicine doctor first, and then go to the pharmacy next door to grab medicine.
Although it is only the second day of the Lunar New Year, the old Chinese medicine doctor can't sit still at home, although most of the clerks are still on vacation, but the old Chinese medicine doctor has opened the store with the granddaughter of an old friend.
However, this afternoon, the counter of the pharmacy ushered in a strange bald customer, who did not say who to see or what kind of doctor to see, let alone go to the doctor, and did not have a prescription drug list, but asked to see the quality of the Chinese medicine and take the medicine himself.
The little girl who worked part-time at the counter to grab medicine encountered a problem that she couldn't solve, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and finally asked the guest to wait for a while, and she hurriedly ran next door to ask the old Chinese medicine doctor.
This old Chinese medicine doctor's surname is Du, and he is dressed in a moon-white Tang suit with a small stand-up collar and a white coat on the outside.
Although he was over seventy years old, Dr. Du had a ruddy complexion and dexterous legs and feet, and if you ignore his silver hair, he looks younger than the middle-aged man in his fifties sitting opposite.
