Chapter 12: What is the way to the west (medium)

"I remember that Mr. Matsumoto has been in Tokyo to take care of his wife for almost a year, right?" said Koyama, sipping edamame.

"It's been a year since I saw my boss for the first time, when I was working at my new company. The white-collar woman chimed in.

Mr. Matsumoto and his wife have been married for more than ten years, from Aomori to Tokyo and back to Aomori, and then to Tokyo again, and now one of them has stayed in Tokyo forever, and the other has to embark on the return journey alone, is it a destiny of God?" said Koyama with a sneer, his tone full of disdain.

Matsumoto and his wife have known each other since childhood, but they missed each other by chance, but they finally came together again because of fate. Now that the two can't accompany each other to the end, it's really impressive~" The cold boss uncle in the kitchen couldn't help but interject.

Lu Xihua drank beer with fried chicken nuggets and joined in the chat, "Why did his wife come to Tokyo for treatment? Can't she stay in Aomori?"

The white-collar woman glanced at Lu Xihua and said with a smile, "Little brother, you are still young and don't understand emotional matters." I remember Matsumoto saying that he and his wife were classmates in junior high school, and when they first met, it was because of an earthquake. ”

"Yes, I can still recall the happy smile on Matsumoto's face when he talked about it. "Matsumoto said he first saw his wife because of an earthquake. Because they are all dormitory students, all the students in the dormitory are arranged to spend the night on the football field. He got up twice that night because he wasn't used to it, and each time he saw a girl either filling someone's cup with water or helping someone else cover the quilt. ”

"I thought, this girl is so kind, if only I could marry her one day, that was the first time I realized what sudden love was. Boss Ono Tsuru suddenly said, "I remember when Matsumoto said this, it was in such a tone, it was really enviable~"

"Mr. Matsumoto's wife's father is from Tokyo, and she is a single parent. My father was temporarily transferred to Aomori to work, but two years later he returned to Tokyo, and Mr. Matsumoto's wife left Aomori with him. Mr. Matsumoto's hazy unrequited love simply ended, and Mr. Matsumoto continued to go to school, graduate, work, and live in his hometown. Koyama continued.

The white-collar woman continued, "Maybe it was fate, but ten years later, after graduating from university, she was sent to Aomori by the company she worked for. Mr. Matsumoto also re-met this figure who had been haunted by his dreams since junior high school because of his work. Under Mr. Matsumoto's perseverance, the two finally came together and lived happily in Aomori for more than ten years. ”

Lu Xihua asked, "I look at Mr. Matsumoto's appearance, it seems that he has no children, don't the two of them have children?"

The white-collar woman raised her head and glanced at Lu Xihua, and said in surprise, "You can see this?" Yes, Mr. Matsumoto's wife has not been pregnant with a child because of her health, which can be regarded as a pity. However, for Mr. Matsumoto's wife, Tokyo is her hometown. Ten years after her father passed away due to illness, she also embarked on this path, and I guess she already knew her situation, so she insisted on going to Tokyo to see a doctor. ”

"Who's to say it wasn't? If it weren't for the house and inheritance left by Mr. Matsumoto's father-in-law, Mr. Matsumoto would have had a hard time quitting his job for a year and coming to Tokyo to take care of his wife, otherwise the rent alone would be a lot of money. Koyama chimed in, "Perhaps, this is Mr. Matsumoto's wife's compensation for her lover." After all, he could not have children, so he could only apologize with the inheritance and house left to him by his father, and hoped that Mr. Matsumoto would be able to marry another wife after his death. ”

"Hmph, it's a good thing, it seems too utilitarian for you to say this, Xiaoshan. Could it be that as a man, this is the kind of thing that you think about all day long?" asked the white-collar woman with a serious face.

So the three men seated, including the boss, looked at each other inside, and finally Xiaoshan was the first to speak, "As a man, this is normal~ A manly man, like women, isn't it natural? Brother, are you right? At your age, you have just graduated and worked, so you should have the best experience. ”

Lu Xihua smiled without saying a word, picked up the beer glass and took another sip, and after a few words, the fried chicken nuggets in the bamboo basket had bottomed out, and began to attack the roasted crucian carp.

The craftsmanship of the cold-faced boss is really good, the whole fish is grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, the fat is plump, in addition to the radish puree, Lu Xihua specially added some pepper salt and sprinkled on the fish, bite down, the skin is crispy and fragrant, and it is extraordinarily delicious.

At this time, Boss Ono Tsuru finished his work in the kitchen and grilled a plate full of skewers, with meat and vegetarian dishes, and different colors, which looked very attractive.

"Guest, your skewer and grill combination, it's not enough to just eat meat, I cook some vegetarian dishes, I don't know if it suits your appetite. When Boss Ono Crane placed the boat tray more than a foot long in front of Lu Xihua, it immediately aroused the admiration of several people. This kind of extremely luxurious combination of skewers is really rare in izakayas.

"The boss is polite, very good, very good!" Lu Xihua smiled and took a skewer of roast guinea fowl, put it in his mouth and sucked it, and the whole skewer of meat was swallowed, while giving a thumbs up to express his praise.

"Hmph, men, regardless of age, they are all lower-body animals. The white-collar woman sarcastically mocked everyone present, and then raised her left hand and said to the boss, "Boss, I'm going to drink too!"

"Oh, what kind of wine do you want?" asked the owner.

"I don't want the beer they drink, I just want the plum wine you just gave Mr. Matsumoto. The white-collar woman glanced at Xiaoshan and Lu Xihua as if they were deliberately demonstrating.

"No problem~"

"Boss, please bring me some more raw green peppers, I want to eat them wrapped in skewers. Lu Xihua also raised his hand and asked.

"Please wait, plum wine and raw green peppers will arrive immediately. Boss Ono Tsuru sang a promise, then turned around and went to open the refrigerator.

The plum wine and raw green peppers were delivered, and the boss leaned on the counter again, smoking a cigarette leisurely.

Lu Xihua took the green pepper that had been cut in half on the plate, and smiled slightly to the boss to express his gratitude, because the boss was very careful to remove all the green pepper seeds.

Take a skewer of roasted crispy bones, remove the crispy bones from the bamboo skewers, add them to the green peppers, pinch the green peppers, put them in your mouth with satisfaction, take a big bite, the crispy aroma of the green peppers neutralizes the smoothness from the meat fat, and the full fragrance goes down the throat as soon as you chew it.

At this time, I picked up a cold beer full of foam, and after a few big sips, I could feel something called happiness all over my body.

Seeing that Lu Xihua was eating happily, a smile appeared on the corner of Boss Onozuru's mouth, "How about it? In order to entertain new customers, I have taken out all my skills." ”

On the other side, the young Xiaoshanjun looked at the white-collar woman who had taken the plum wine and began to drink non-stop, with a sullen expression on her face, and asked strangely, "May I ask what happened?" Could it be that you are out of love?"

The white-collar woman did not speak, but raised her middle finger at the hill. He continued to pour himself a glass and drank it all in one gulp, then sighed and said, "Today, the president of the company found me privately and told me that he hoped I could be his lover! ”

After speaking, the white-collar woman drank another glass of plum wine.

"If you don't like him, then you can refuse directly, what's the trouble?" Xiao Shanjun looked at the appearance and figure of the white-collar woman, who was indeed a top beauty, and said with a smile.

Do you know how hard it takes for an out-of-town woman to come to Tokyo to work alone? Every month's salary is dedicated to rent and cosmetics. If I follow him, I will be able to live a leisurely and prosperous life in no time. You don't have to work so hard every day, you can live in a mansion, drive a good car, wear expensive jewelry, and attend a drinking party for the upper class. The white-collar woman said with a tangled face.

So the men present looked at each other, smiled again, and were speechless.

In the end, it was Boss Ono Crane who was the first to tell the truth, "That means that you are still tempted, that's why you are so entangled now, right?"

"That's right, I'm tempted, who made you men so. The white-collar woman continued to say angrily, "I have no room to refuse~ I finally found a job in a large company, but I encountered this kind of thing." However, the conditions offered by the other party are really exciting, but they are a little unwilling. ”

"Please, we men are lustful, but if men are not lustful, where do you have the opportunity to live the kind of life you just yearn for~ Men need to conquer the world, and women only need to conquer men. Xiaoshanjun was also speechless about the mentality of white-collar women who wanted to be both a female cousin and a memorial arch, shaking his head and laughing.

"Woman, woman... Your name is probably vanity. But..."Lu Xihua deliberately shook his head and interjected, "There are thousands of ways to pursue happiness, and this is one of the shortcuts, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, just take what you want, you just feel happy now." As for the future, I'll talk about it later!"

Boss Onozuru's face twitched slightly, but he continued to smile and shake his head.

The white-collar woman snorted, ignored the crowd, and continued to drink plum wine.

"That's right, come on, cheers. Xiao Shanjun obviously agreed with Lu Xihua's words, so he immediately proposed, "What do you want to do so much, you and I are willing, what is there to say." ”

"Here, cheers!" the two raised their glasses and prepared to toast.

"Wait, count me as one, praise one for what this little brother just said, what you said is indeed the truth, not hypocritical, much better than many people. The white-collar woman also raised the plum wine in her hand.

Boss Ono Tsuru said, "Wait a minute, since you can see it, I'll also participate in it, let's taste my plum wine together, I'll invite this glass." After speaking, he poured a special wine smoothie for Xiaoshanjun and Lu Xihua and himself.

"Boss, why didn't you say it earlier?Cause me to pay for the wine myself~" The white-collar woman complained, that's all.

Lu Xihua took out a few 10,000 yuan bills and put them on the counter, "Drink as much as you want, these bottles of wine are mine." ”

Someone helped pay for herself, and the white-collar woman immediately became happy, "Boss, why don't you take out a few more bottles of your plum wine?"

Boss Ono Tsuru said, "Is there still any alcohol in the izakaya?" Drink slowly, don't worry, everyone is happy." ”

"I propose, toast to each other's tomorrow!" Koyama-kun couldn't wait to raise his glass.

"Cheers!" "Cheers!"

So three men and one woman drank the wine in one gulp at the same time.

Lu Xihua licked his lips and nodded, "The boss's plum wine is indeed delicious, I don't drink beer anymore, I drink plum wine instead." ”

"Right?" said the white-collar woman and Koyama-kun in unison, and then the white-collar woman followed, "Plum wine is the specialty of this shop!"

In this way, several people drank plum wine and chatted together, and Boss Ono Tsuru occasionally interjected a sentence in the middle, and time passed like this, and gradually came to a certain moment.

------ Dividing Line------

A figure sits alone on the beach at night. The bay at night is like a fine velvet covering it. When the moon rises, the sea is illuminated by the bright moonlight, like a water mirror, and then the sea breeze blows, and the mirror-like velvet silk is broken, one by one, sparkling, like countless pearls and diamonds inlaid on it, and it is very beautiful.

The sea breeze blew across the reef on the beach, making a strange and high-pitched whistling sound, and the reef was like a wild beast lying on the beach in the night.

The figure closed his eyes, and the breath in his nose gradually merged with the sound of the waves around him, and the grandeur of heaven and earth everywhere seemed to form a resonance in his body at this moment.

Whoa~ Whoa~ The echo of the waves gradually sounded inside the figure.

As if in response, the clothes and hair on the figure's body also vibrated with the sound at this moment, as if an invisible wind in its body was blowing out from under the skin, blowing the close-fitting shirt one by one.

Several burly figures scattered in all directions, forming a semicircle around the figures sitting cross-legged on the beach, all of which revealed envy in their eyes. Farther away, on the balcony of a luxurious villa, a pair of binoculars that had just been put down were snatched by the people next to them.

"Dacheng, what's wrong with Ah Wei? The clothes on his body are bulging, and I seem to see his skin glowing... Could something be wrong?" a female voice is full of magnetism and gives a sense of intimacy.

"What else can I do? Ah Wei, this kid is blessed, he has passed the great test of millions of people, and he is bent on practicing the legendary Taoism. Heaven descended by chance, this was given by the immortals a piece of exercise called "Canghai Duel", at this moment is to practice under the moon, in his words, it is to experience the meaning of the waves of the sea. "The man's facial features are upright, but his figure is a little out of shape.

"Are those legendary fairy gods and monsters real?"

"When has this been, don't you believe it? Those merchants and officials who made fake vaccines, as many as hundreds of them are still tied to the black pillars, they are burned at the stake during the day and cannot die, and at night the flesh and blood are resurrected, day after day, wailing all the time, no one knows who knows in the land of Great Xia? The immortals have appeared many times, what doubts do you have? And now Great Xia is no longer the same as before. Otherwise, why do you think your son went to great lengths to join the first trial, and it took so much effort to get the qualifications and receive the Dao Fa transmission, not for the Dong family to take the lead. In my opinion, at least there will be great changes in the pharmaceutical industry, and our group will bear the brunt~"

"Ah Wei, this child is really filial, he thinks about his family, and he doesn't know how much he has suffered in the trial. As soon as I came back, I didn't rest, so I chose this place as a place to practice, and called us over. Fortunately, there is no shortage of money at home, which can give him peace of mind. However, it was strange for me to look at the child as if he had suddenly become sensible after a trial. ”

"Ah Wei's cultivation is called "The Battle of the Sea", no wonder he has to come to this Qiongya Villa, after all, this place is the closest to the sea, and no one bothered him. ”

As the husband and wife were talking, they heard the door open and a man walked in, "The east is facing the Jieshi to watch the sea." The water is surging, and the mountains and islands are sturging. Dad and Mom, I need to experience the meaning of the waves of heaven and earth when I practice this "The Decisive Battle", and now I understand that between heaven and earth, pine forests, clouds, rivers, lakes and seas, there are seas everywhere. The acupuncture points in my body are like the stars in the sky, and the muscles, bones, skin and flesh are the mountains, forests and rivers, and I need to use the meaning of the sea to wash myself and refine it into a sea that truly belongs to me. In this way, the body can be transformed and the heaven and earth can be connected, which is worthy of the method of the Daomen, which is really incredible, subtle and abnormal. ”

The husband and wife looked up and saw that it was their son ~ Dong Wei who had finished his cultivation.

Both of them are high-achieving students, from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, at least this ancient classic is not less, from his son's words, he immediately heard something different, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Xiaowei, have you started your cultivation?"

Dong Wei smiled bitterly, "Mom, how can it be so easy." The immortals said that there is no aura in the current Great Xia world, and there is no foundation for the growth of the elixir, let alone the elixir. This "Battle of the Sea" in a world with abundant spiritual energy may be a wonderful method, but until now, it is just a physical strengthening effect. ”

"Reiki, elixir... Could it be that Tianshou Xingjun is doing this?" Dong Wei's father, Dong Dacheng, suddenly remembered the mysterious words in the air two days ago. He spent a lot of money to find out the origin of Tianshou Xingjun, and it turned out to be Wu Jutong, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty!

Wu Jutong is a master of warm disease, representing the highest achievement of the school of warm disease in traditional Chinese medicine. In the "Differentiation of Warm Illness" compiled by him, he left many excellent practical prescriptions for future generations. For example, Yinqiao San, Sangju Drink, Huoxiang Zhengqi San, Qingying Soup, Qinggong Soup, Rhino Horn Dihuang Soup, etc., which are now sold in the Daxia market, are all very commonly used prescriptions by later generations of doctors. The prescriptions used in the clinical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, "Differentiation of Warm Diseases" account for eight or nine out of ten, which can be said to be the world.

This man is upright and virtuous, and he is a role model for those who study medicine.

"Dad, I think our group needs to prepare, and it is already the general trend for Chinese medicine to replace Western medicine, not to mention the pills that will be needed for Dao cultivation in the future. I guess that the immortals will spread the ordinary method of refining the body to the world, and when the time comes, everyone will be light and healthy, so how can they get sick?" Dong Wei has experienced more than ten years of illusory time in his dream, knows the horror of the Daomen, and knows the wonder of the pill, the refining of a pill is supported by thousands of catties of excellent medicinal materials, which can be described as extremely valuable, which is also the reason why the immortals said that those who are not rich and noble cannot cultivate immortals.

The absurd things he did in the dream let him pass, but some of the things in the dream will definitely become a reality, and it is better to make arrangements at home as soon as possible.

Dong Wei said, "Dad, Mom, do you have anything to eat at home? I found that after cultivating, the amount of essence and energy consumed is really a lot, so I'm so hungry." I haven't told you some things before, but now that a family of three is rarely together, I'll explain the trial to you. ”

"Yes, yes, there are still a lot of dishes in the kitchen, if it is not enough, call the club chef to arrange to do it. Dong's mother was naturally happy to see that her son could eat, and immediately went to the kitchen to arrange hot dishes.

"I've read some ancient books, those who practice martial arts, can eat a sheep or half a cow in one meal, is this the case for you now?" Dong Dacheng was surprised, the ancient military generals could eat dozens or hundreds of catties of food in one meal, and the famous general Lian Po was over sixty years old, and he could also eat a bucket of rice, ten catties of meat, and a cup of wine.

He used to see this as a story, but now when he puts it on his son, he vaguely feels that this kind of thing may be true.

Dong Wei nodded, "Yes, the more you go to the back, the more you eat, I'm afraid that if you want to be hungry in the end, you can only rely on pills or special ingredients." ”

Medicinal herbs, food, Taoism, and supernatural powers, a trace of veins seems to be gradually becoming clear. There has always been no shortage of smart people in the Huaxia clan, and the return of the trialists, under the analysis of the well-intentioned people bit by bit, gradually guessed the meaning of the various actions of the immortals, which seems to be to re-establish a new civilization model.

But what is the ultimate goal?
