Volume 1 Fledgling Chapter 3 The Past. Now, the future?
Chen Wang was not polite, and hurriedly put the thick envelope into his arms.
In fact, he can't be blamed for his Pixiu face, it's really his age, pretending to be a master can't bluff people, and today it's rare to pretend to be a master, and it was exposed; Secondly, he has been away from home for four or five years, and he had a big quarrel with his family for the college entrance examination, Chen Wang wants to study medicine, but the family feels that the number of years of studying medicine is not to say, tired and bitter, and often does not get the understanding of others, although in ancient times, doctors are indeed respected, and there is also a saying that "good doctors are better than good looks", but in modern times, it is not true, not to mention that the current medical industry is classified as a service industry, and it is an indisputable fact that people are now slandered and alienated from traditional Chinese medicine, and the medical community even circulates "persuading people to study medicine." , the sky thunders and splits".
But Chen Wang is different, he has studied traditional culture such as Taoism and Chinese medicine with his grandfather since he was a child, and has a deep love for these; When I was a child, my grandfather often put the sentence in the seventy-seventh chapter of the Tao Te Ching on his lips, "The way of heaven is more than damaged, and it is not enough." The way of man is not, the loss is not enough, and the service is more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world? Only Doyle". And told him that when he grew up, he must help the world and save people, accumulate virtue and do good. At that time, he said to his grandfather, "When I grow up, I will become a Taoist priest!" Grandpa shook his head and said: "It's okay to be a Taoist priest, but don't be in a hurry, you have to be a good person first, and experience all kinds of joys and sorrows, ups and downs in this world, and then if you have looked down on everything in this world, it is still not too late to become a monk." Xiao Chen Wang blinked his eyes ignorantly, and asked the question that changed the choice of his life: "Then what should I do when I grow up?" Grandpa touched Xiao Chen Wang's head and told him: "Be a doctor, as the so-called medicine carries the Tao, martial arts defend the Tao, and only by studying medicine can we help more people." After speaking, he sent a small iron box to Xiao Chen Wang, and when he opened the iron box, there was a pair of calligraphy words, on which were Mr. Hengqu's four precepts: establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.
It was the conversation and experience when he was a child that made Chen Wang firm in the future path, but there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune, grandpa feathered in his third year of junior high school, since then his closest people have left him, and his parents are not around all the year round, which makes his character a little rebellious, so after graduating from high school, he left home alone and came to Jincheng. I went to university while working part-time. During this period, he went to Jincheng Baiyun to worship the master, thinking that while learning something, he would come to eat two meals every day, and he would have 30 yuan to take after the evening class every afternoon, don't look at this small 30 yuan, this is the living guarantee he depends on; Chen Wang sometimes thinks that this is actually to blame himself for being young and frivolous, ignorant and fearless, and he only knew the hardships of life when he left home. As the so-called penny is difficult to beat the hero, and he rented a small house on the outskirts of the city, don't look at only 30 square meters, a month rent of 400, water and electricity are calculated, plus now odd jobs are not easy to find, usually go to do some odd jobs after class, when there is really no work to do, he went to the edge of the Yellow River, and used the word measurement he learned when he was a child to calculate the hexagram for others, which is not to bury this ability, and can subsidize living expenses. Because of his profound foundation in Chinese studies since he was a child and his metaphysical talent that is different from ordinary people, he is also very accurate. Coming and going, in their circle is also a little famous, acquaintances also gave him a "straight mouth" name, but because of tuition fees and daily expenses, etc., his life has been tight, this is not early this morning to see a few magpies on the tree at the door, on a whim to calculate a hexagram, found that there is a noble person coming to the door, this is the previous scene.
But this visitor is not an ordinary person, and his small dilapidated house, can not support a big scene, today's desktop these furnishings are brought from home, usually reluctant to take out, despite this, still give people shallow dishes filled with water - at a glance to see the bottom.
However, Chen Wang also secretly rejoiced in his heart, although he did not bluff these two people, but seeing that this shot is not ordinarily generous, this deposit is a meat bun beating a dog anyway - there is no return, as for what happens, success or not, that is a later story. After thinking about it, Chen Wang opened his mouth and said to the woman in front of him: "Before, I watched people in the crack of the door - I flattened people, and here I will make amends to the two of you again, we can't buy and sell benevolence, not to mention that I haven't asked the two of you for their names, why are you here, so that I can think about it carefully and make plans again." ”
After hearing these words, the woman scolded again in her heart: "What a cheating, treacherous and slippery charlatan, picking up the scene and saying that before this work is done, he began to pick himself up first, and put his feelings on this empty glove white wolf!" "I suddenly had the idea of regretting coming here, but after thinking about it, I threw out all the money, and if I walked away like this, wouldn't it be cheaper for nothing; What's more, if it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and walk it. Thinking about it in his heart, he said expressionlessly: "You will know the name later, but Mr. Chen's deposit has been paid, and the sincerity is self-evident, do you have to show us your hands before doing things, let us open our eyes, to be honest, I am not very interested in your strange methods, but since others have recommended you, I always need to see what is going on, after all, seeing is believing, hearing is false, what do you say?" ”
Chen Wang listened, and said: "Measuring a line, it can be regarded as my eating skills, since you have spoken, then please write a word, I will use the word to measure things to see what you want today." As a new young man born in New China and grew up under the red flag, she has always scoffed at these things that the gods are chattering, but she can't stand the encouragement of her friends, and Uncle Fang's persuasion and there is indeed an urgent matter at home, so she reluctantly came to this investigation, but despite this, she still had all kinds of doubts in her heart, so she dipped in tea and wrote the word 'Lu' on the table.
Chen Wang looked at it and said seriously: "If you write Lu characters on the coffee table, it is actually two mouths, and if you take two mouthfuls on a few bites, it is a spell word; It is written that the woman is also the same as the father, although the person who asks the matter is a young lady, in fact, it is the father who asks the matter, the father should be the middle curse, the woman and the father have the same name, and the book is two, it is a faint word, according to my inference, your father should be in a coma in the curse. ”
The woman was shocked, but she didn't want to believe all this, she couldn't say a word for a long time, but Uncle Fang behind her saw that the master showed his hand again, and hurriedly said: "Sir, this measurement level is indeed worthy of its reputation, we are Jincheng Pharmaceutical Xie Shi, this is our young lady Xie Nan, as for me, the contemptible name is Fang Huating, and I am the housekeeper of the Xie family, if you don't mind, just like Miss, just call me Uncle Fang." ”
Chen Wang looked at Uncle Fang, and felt in his heart, "He is worthy of being the housekeeper of the four major families in Jincheng, and he is amiable and generous in his words, unlike this Miss Xie and Sichuan Opera actors, who keep changing her face." "Make up your mind, no matter what, let's listen to Uncle Fang first; So he didn't care about this Miss Xie anymore, and listened carefully to Uncle Fang's narration. ”
Uncle Fang took a sip of tea, and then said: "My lord fell into a coma after returning from a business trip a month ago, and he couldn't wake up after trying his best, we began to think that we were sick, and went to many hospitals in vain, but in the end we were given a sober vegetative person; You may have heard some of them, like our family usually has some personal doctors, and we invited them to consult the master, but the results they gave were the same, but a doctor told us that the disease of the master is neither stimulated by external injuries, nor has the accumulation of old diseases, the strange origin of this disease, and told us not to give up, to find some masters in the people, to see if there is a way.
A few days ago, a friend of the young lady came to visit the lord at home, and inadvertently mentioned it, saying let's count a hexagram, first find the source of the matter, at first we were suspicious, but Mrs. spoke: Anyway, there is no clue, simply dead horse as a live horse doctor, just Miss friend said that she knew you, and said that you measured quite accurately, we found you here according to the clues. ”
After listening to the ins and outs of this, Chen Wang thought about it in his heart, and said: "What about me, I haven't graduated from college yet, my knowledge is shallow, and the only thing I can do is this hand test, but I have a soft mouth and a short hand, and I have already received the deposit, so I will take this job hard, but the specific situation can only be judged by seeing me." ”
Although Miss Xie was shocked by the master's hand test just now, she still believed in her heart that this person was at most a charlatan, and he was not much more clever than a charlatan. But as the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe, and if you come, you will come, so you simply invite people to come over and have a look, in case there is a turnaround, you may not know.
Subsequently, accompanied by the two, Chen Wang got into the car that had been waiting for a long time at the mouth of the alley.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, Chen Wang looked back at the alley behind him, watching the hut get farther and farther away from him, gradually disappearing into the night, what he didn't know was that this hut that had been with him for four or five years, with his departure this time, he never went back......
