Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 100 Writing and the Willow Tree

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Fuwangli began to be lively. Morning glory, chauffeuring, farewell, all busy.

Yesterday, Zhu Lidian took Wu Yong back to Lizhong, and began to gather the villagers to gather in the square to discuss the purchase of iron and stone and the sale of iron pots. In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that if there is money to contribute, and the benefits will be divided equally according to the number of households, regardless of the size of the family.

No, early in the morning, Zhu Lidian led everyone to drive the thirty ox carts gathered from each family towards Lin Xi County.

Such an incident happened in Lizhong, and the construction process of Wu Yong's family was naturally dismissed, and it is rare for the Wu family to be quiet today.

In the morning, Wu Yong took a group of sisters to go to school in Mengxue School, and the others were arranged by Zhuo Wenxuan to take corresponding courses, leaving him alone to practice writing traditional Chinese characters in Zhuo Wenxuan's study.

To be honest, this was the first time he had used a brush to write on a bamboo slip, and although he was very uncomfortable, he still persevered all morning. Because he wanted to see what level he really was.

When the lunch break came, Zhuo Wenxuan led Wu Yong's sisters to the study to take a look, and everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Wu Yong to copy so many bamboo slips in just one morning.

Looking at the bamboo slips on the ground, Zhuo Wen announced that everyone should not disturb Wu Yong, who was still writing, and he picked up a scroll casually.

At this time, he was surprised to find that this was actually the "First Aid Chapter", and picked up another volume, and found that it was Li Si's "Cangjie Chapter", and when he checked all the bamboo slips, he was surprised to find that these were the contents of Mengxue.

That is to say, Wu Yong only took one morning to transcribe all the Mengxue content more than three times, and the handwriting except for the first few volumes of bamboo slips seems immature, and the later is becoming more and more sophisticated, especially the volume of Hu Mujing's "Erudite Chapter" that Wu Yong is copying in his hand, the handwriting is not bad at all compared to him, a teacher who has written for twenty or thirty years, and even far surpasses him. This made him quite depressed, and even doubted his life for a while.

After He Lian saw the bamboo slips in Zhuo Wenxuan, she cleaned up the scattered bamboo slips while checking the handwriting transcribed by Wu Yong, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, but she didn't expect that in just one morning, her brother had practiced the words to the point of perfection, in her heart, her father He Wen's handwriting that had just passed away was already very powerful, but by comparison, she found that Wu Yong's handwriting was more vigorous and powerful, not at all like a twelve-year-old child's writing.

At this moment, He Lian's heart was shocked, worried, and happy, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

The good thing is that Wu Yong has made rapid progress, and the future is immeasurable, maybe she can be famous all over the world, but the worry is that she originally thought that with her knowledge, she could impress Wu Yong, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, Wu Yong would surpass her.

He Lian couldn't help but secretly swear in her heart: In the future, she must read more books and study, so as not to let her knowledge fall too far behind Wu Yong. Since she was a child, she has been praised as a genius, and her father has great expectations for her, often lamenting that if He Lian is a man, her future achievements will definitely not be lower than him.

For a while, everyone was thinking about their hearts, and the study was quiet, only Wu Yong was writing rustling on the bamboo slips.

After a while, Wu Yong finished writing the last word, put down the pen, and shook his somewhat sore wrist, only to find that there was already a group of people standing in the study at some point. So he smiled and said, "Why are you all here, do you want to go home for lunch?" ”

Zhuo Wenxuan reacted at this time, and said angrily: "You think you are a powerful family, you go to Wancheng to inquire, there are a few families that can be luxurious to the point of having lunch, even if the Taishou Mansion only has two meals a day." ”

Then he asked curiously, "You kid tell me the truth, is it really the first time to write?" ”

"My nephew has always lived under my uncle's nose, and my uncle is not clear about the details!" Wu Yong did not answer him directly, but told a fact.

This made Zhuo Wenxuan even more depressed, Wu Yong's situation, no one really knows better than him. But it is because of this that he is even more congested, he has studied and practiced hard for so many years, and he is not even able to compare to a child who has just learned to write, maybe it is really his lack of talent.

At this time, He Ye and He Cao ran to Wu Yong's side and said with a smile: "Brother, you are so amazing, the handwriting is so beautiful!" It's better than what Mr. Wenxuan wrote! ”

While talking, he also made a few gestures, which caused Zhuo Wenxuan to be depressed.

Wu Yong was a little embarrassed, the reason why his handwriting was progressing so fast was thanks to the system he carried with him. He hasn't used the system these days, and he almost forgot that he was a systematic traverser.

That is, when he first started writing, a word was written several times is not ideal, he thought of the system's creation skills, but he didn't expect to try it, it is indeed feasible, so he has been writing with the system on, so the words are written better and better, and the practice time in the morning is equivalent to the level of others for one or two decades.

But it's impossible for him to tell others that this is the credit of the system, and even if he does, others won't believe it.

Therefore, for the praise of the two young sisters, Wu Yong only laughed and said: "Brother also found out today that he has a talent for writing, but I still have to work hard in the future, and I can't start to be arrogant because I have talent." ”

The two young girls hurriedly nodded in agreement, "We will also study hard in the future and strive to surpass our uncle's knowledge." ”

After Zhuo Wenxuan listened, he held back for a long time before he said a word to Wu Yong, "You won't use it here in the future, you can take these Five Classics back, and you can study them at home in the future." ”

He is really upset when he sees Wu Yong now, and it will be wonderful to rarely see him in the future. But then again, this kid is really talented, not only can he write poems at a young age, but he also writes so well, and his future is immeasurable. Thinking of this, he thought of his son Zhuo Tao again, who is really incomparable.

Wu Yong didn't take Zhuo Wenxuan's words to heart, he returned to Wu's house with the Five Classics and a group of sisters, and began to prepare lunch.

In the first few days, he either made his own food or taught others to make food, and he couldn't be idle all day long, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with not eating lunch.

But after breakfast today, he hasn't eaten anything else, which makes him a little uncomfortable. What's more, before he crossed over, he had at least three meals a day, and sometimes even a supper, but now if he only had two meals a day, he really couldn't stand it.

Wu Yong turned over the case and checked it, and finally decided to eat the steamed bun.

Doing it when you think of it is Wu Yong's consistent style. Let my mother Guo help and teach everyone to make this steamed bun by the way.

When she was in the school just now, Sister He didn't say a word, but now when she sees and eats, she is more active than anyone else, and she rushes to do the work of washing vegetables and burning the fire. Of course, after Wu Yong finished this baked oil bun, she ate more than everyone else, and shouted that she would eat this for dinner.

After the meal, He Damei was reluctantly dragged by He Ye and He Cao to Mengxue Academy. Wu Yong and He Lian Chengzhao stayed at home, and the three who had nothing to do were sent by Guo to arrange to prune willow branches.

Wu Yong didn't take it seriously, but when he saw that the pruned willow branches were carefully put away by He Lian and Cheng Zhao, he suddenly felt a little inexplicable, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want these useless willow branches to do?" It's too much smoke to burn the fire! ”

He Lian glanced at him, knowing that Wu Yong lacked these common sense, so he opened his mouth to explain: "This is a life-saving thing, how can you say that it is useless, in the future, in front of outsiders, you can't say that willow branches are useless things, and you will be laughed at." ”

Wu Yong was stunned and asked with some disbelief: "Willow branches can save lives, who said this?" Do you have a certificate? ”

"It's not the willow branches that can save lives, it's the willow bark that is peeled off the willow branches, and the water boiled from them can not only relieve pain, but also cure cold. If you have ringworm on your body, you can also be cured by regularly scrubbing it with water boiled in willow bark. So at this time of year, every household has to prepare some and save it for when they need it. ”

"This willow branch not only heals diseases and saves lives, but also can be used for brushing teeth. After a while, you can pick the buds on this willow tree and make vegetables, which is very delicious. Then you can also collect catkins to make pillows, which help with sleep. There is also this summer wicker, which can be cut down and used to weave baskets, which is very strong and durable. Therefore, no matter how poor the conditions are, a few willow trees will be planted in the spare space. ”

He Lian introduced the functions and functions of the willow tree like a few treasures, which made Wu Yong suddenly remember seeing a detailed study of the willow tree in later generations.

He originally studied agriculture and forestry, and he had heard the saying that willows were treasures all over their bodies. However, the abundant material conditions of later generations make it easy to ignore the existence of willows.

I remember that he once read a report that the roots, bark, branches, leaves, and flowers of this willow can be used as medicine, which has the effect of expectorant and bright eyes, clearing heat and detoxifying, diuretic and windproof. In particular, willow bark contains natural salicin, which is converted into salicylic acid by enzymes after absorption, and is a natural painkiller. The famous aspirin is a derivative of salicylic acid.

Willow bark can treat ringworm because willow bark contains salicylic acid, salicylic acid can penetrate into the skin, has a bactericidal effect, many skin diseases are caused by fungal infection, but willow bark treatment of skin diseases is relatively slow, not many people have used it in later generations, but it is still very useful for ancient societies with backward medical conditions.

The willow buds can be eaten in later generations, and can also be made into tea and drunk, which can be described as a rare good product.

In fact, the iodine content of fresh willow leaves is thousands of times higher than that of ordinary food, and some people in later generations made sugar-coated tablets of willow leaves for internal use, which has a good effect on endemic thyroid disease.

In summer, the willow trees can be shaded and ornamented, and the branches can be woven into strong baskets. The trunk of the tree can be made into smooth furniture, and the trunk is not big, but the texture is very hard. Moreover, furniture made of willow trunks is not only hard, but also less prone to warping and deformation.

These functions and functions of willow trees, with the development of social economy, only have ornamental properties for ordinary people, which is indeed regrettable.

Thinking of these, Wu Yong realized how naΓ―ve and ridiculous what he said just now, the current medical technology is still being explored, and for ordinary people, this willow tree is simply a godsend.

At that moment, he also put away his playfulness and began to be in awe of the willow tree. At the same time, I secretly warned myself in my heart: I can't be a man without awe, otherwise I will be prone to accidents.

He Lian saw that Wu Yong was a little depressed, and thought that what she just said hurt his self-esteem, so she asked with a smile: "In two days, it will be the day of the ancestral shrine, and my mother will prepare new clothes and new boots for you, do you want to try them on later?" ”
