Chapter 9 Compendium of Materia Medica

Mu Wenbin picked up the book, and there were four big characters written on the cover: Compendium of Materia Medica. He opened it and began to read, it turned out that this was a book introducing various medicinal materials, just at a glance he was attracted by the content of it, and kept looking, a kind of medicinal materials, drug names, medicinal properties, effects, etc., he was dazzled.

At this time, the master finished meditating, and when he saw that he was so engaged in reading and reading, he didn't call him, just looked at him quietly. It was only after two hours that the master interrupted him, and it was only then that he realized that the master had been waiting for him for two hours. The master asked him if he was good-looking? He nodded nicely. The master didn't say anything next, he put the book away, and he didn't know where to hide it, it should be hidden in his sleeve, and the master was wearing a robe with wide sleeves.

The master called him out, caught a few fish first, he was also hungry, the two of them roasted and ate them, and then took him into the mountains, and today he picked more wild fruits, but the kind he picked before going to school was never found again. When she returned to the cave after picking wild fruits, the master handed her a burden and said, "Disciple, you won't go into the mountain tomorrow." ”

Mu Wenbin was stunned for a moment, doesn't the master want himself? With tears in his eyes, he sobbed and said, "Master, don't you want me?" Did you do something wrong there? I don't want to leave the master. ”

"Hahaha, I'm too worried, why doesn't the master want you? Such a good apprentice is willing to be a teacher," the master laughed.

"Then why don't you let me into the mountain tomorrow?" Mu Wenbin stopped sobbing.

"Don't divulge it, you'll know tomorrow. Inside this bag is the fruit picked today, you take it back to your grandparents to eat," the master said, and then took out the compendium of materia medica and handed it to him: "You take this book back and read it slowly, you know that there are all kinds of medicines in it, you just need to remember the names, medicinal properties, and pharmacology of these medicines." ”

Mu Wenbin took the book as if he had received a treasure, immediately hid him in his arms, and then asked, "Then master, when will I come to see you again?" ”

"When you memorize all these pills, you can come! Also, keep in mind that you can only read this book for a maximum of two hours a day in the morning, not more. The master said solemnly.

Seeing that the master spoke to himself so seriously for the first time, Mu Wenbin nodded and replied, "Remember." ”

Farewell to the master and went home, but he couldn't figure out why the master didn't let him enter the mountain again, and he didn't think so much, the master said that he would know tomorrow, whatever, anyway, the baby is in hand, and I can see it myself at home.

When he woke up early the next morning and opened the door, Mu Wenbin was shocked and almost stared out his eyes, it turned out that it had snowed heavily overnight last night, and now the snow has closed the mountain. God, too godly, the master is really a god, and he actually knows that the mountain will be closed by heavy snow today, so he has to let himself enter the mountain. He admired the master even more in his heart.

He couldn't go anywhere under the heavy snowfall, and the whole village was at home for winter. Fortunately, the master gave him the book, he got up every day to help his grandfather do some housework, and began to read after breakfast, his grandparents were illiterate, and he didn't know what he read, but seeing his grandson so diligent and loving to learn, he couldn't smile every time he thought of the praise of his grandson in the village, especially Tian Lihu, when he saw him, he praised Wenbin for being smart and studious, and he must be a Wenqu star, unlike his family Xiangzi who knows how to play all day long. The little sister is also very well-behaved, and let her brother play with her for a while before she went to play with the stones by herself. Every time he plays with his sister for a while, he will take a fruit for his sister to eat, the little sister especially likes to eat these fruits, the grandparents are sorry for the granddaughter and are reluctant to eat, so they leave the fruit to the younger sister.

Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mu Wenbin did not read, got up early in the morning and began to prepare for the New Year's house with his grandfather, steamed steamed buns, stewed meat, croquettes, etc., today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, is the most solemn festival in China, although Yongkang Village is relatively closed, the snow covers the mountains and cannot go out, but the whole village can still see rare liveliness. After lunch, I helped my grandmother make dumplings, last time the medicinal materials were sold for a thousand yuan, and the grandfather also went into the mountains to collect medicine after his health was better, and the grandfather was experienced, although he did not pick a very valuable medicinal material, but he also picked a lot, and the family still did not worry about food and clothing. The family quickly wrapped the dumplings and waited for Chinese New Year's Eve to eat dumplings.

After wrapping dumplings, grandparents and grandparents went out to chat with their sister, Mu Wenbin came to the kitchen to raise the fire and start boiling water, and after boiling the water, he cooked dumplings. I cooked a big bowl of dumplings, found a clean cloth to wrap them, and then took the dumplings and went out.

Looking at the snow all over the mountain, Mu Wenbin stuffed the dumplings into his arms, and entered the mountain with a wooden stick in his hand. The mountains were full of snow, and it was difficult to distinguish where the road was, so he explored the road with a stick by feeling, and entered the deep mountains little by little, but fortunately, he went to the master's way. The road that used to take only an hour to complete, this time he walked for almost three hours, and he fell a lot along the way, and it was almost dark by this time.

He walked into the cave and saw that the master was still meditating there, ready to call the master, but then the master spoke first, "Why don't you listen to the master and go into the mountain?" ”

Listening to the master's somewhat angry tone, Mu Wenbin hurriedly said: "The apprentice knows his mistake, but the master, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have to eat dumplings, I know that the master is alone in the mountains, so I cooked it at home and sent it to the master." As he spoke, he took out the dumplings from his arms, put them on the stone platform and opened them, and then tears burst out of his eyes instantly, because he fell a few times on the road, and the dumplings were almost broken.

The master opened his eyes and looked at the apprentice, he was very happy and distressed, picked up the dumplings and ate them, and said that he had never eaten such a delicious thing. Seeing the frostbite on the apprentice's hands, he lit a fire in the cave, then took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out some oily substances from it, wiped it on the apprentice's hands, and then accompanied the apprentice to bake the fire and chat.

"Master, you are a fairy, why haven't you ever flown over? Didn't you say that immortals can fly? ”

"Do you want to see the master fly? When you grow up and learn the medical skills, the master will fly to you. ”

"Master, how long have you been in this mountain?"

"How long have you forgotten to be a teacher, it's been hundreds of years, right?"

"Hundreds of years? How old are you this year, master? ”

"It's been 100 million years old as a teacher"

"How much is 100 million?"

"It's many, many years old!"

"Then master, which village is your family from? I've never heard you talk about your home?"

"The master is a god, of course his home is in heaven"

In this way, the master and apprentice kept chatting, the master's medicine was very effective, and the injury on his hand was healed after a while, and it was getting darker and darker, and he was afraid that the apprentice's grandparents would be worried, so he carried the apprentice out of the cave, and the master walked fast, and after a while, he carried him to the vicinity of the village, and after putting down the apprentice, he waved his hand to let the apprentice go home quickly. Although neither of them spoke much, they both knew that their hearts were tightly connected.
