Chapter 7, here comes a man in white
The words say:
Dream Zhaofei Bear is fixed, Fengming Wang Dao Bang'an. At that time, Weishui visited Liangxian, and the acting was easy to calculate.
The long years of wind and rain, the vicissitudes of life. A few times the situation tasted the ancient sayings, and the red dust hit the face.
ββProposed "Xijiang Moon".
But it was said that the old man and his son got 10,000 years of ginseng, and they walked back happily along the way, and saw the pass into the mountain, and the old man thanked Doctor Li and Qinglin, and asked them to go back - the old man felt that it was inappropriate for him to find out that he had a relationship with the people of Shanbei.
Doctor Li and Qinglin turned back, and the old man walked further on, and when he reached the edge of the jungle on the west side of the village, he stopped and sighed.
A figure popped out of the jungle again, it was Na Mag Xiuyuan.
Ma Ge Xiuyuan stepped forward, gave a salute first, and said in his mouth: "Brother En is back!"
The old man smiled and said, "Why are you called Brother En'en again now?" β
So Ma Ge Xiuyuan followed the old man and his son, entered the village, and went to the old man's house.
Along the way, I met neighbors in the village, and some people regarded Ma Ge Xiuyuan as if they hadn't seen him, and some people greeted the old man and asked who Ma Ge Xiuyuan was.
The old man smiled and replied that it was his former friend, and he gently took the matter over.
When he arrived at home, according to the instructions of the ancestor of the family, he first prepared the medicine hanger, selected good water, sliced the ginseng, and boiled it with a simmer.
He had an explanation with the ancestor of the family and Zixuan: This ginseng has to be boiled for seven days before the medicinal properties can be fully developed, and it can be taken at that time to cure all diseases. Since Xiao Bang is destined to get this ginseng, he will definitely be able to cure the disease!
The old man stewed medicine, prepared food and drink, and entertained Ma Ge Xiuyuan, the knife work and fire were all very well grasped, and I thought it was also the ability to practice so many years of homely life.
Ma Ge Xiuyuan praised with a smile: "Brother En still has such good cooking skills, admire, admire!"
The old man replied with a smile: "Life is compelling, where can you call it any kind of cooking? Not to mention that there is nothing good to eat, I am afraid that I will treat my brother slowly!"
Ma Ge Xiuyuan said: "Brother En, don't say that, even if you boil a bowl of cold water into hot water, I, Ma Ge Xiuyuan, am very grateful! Not to mention that I am here to be a spy this time, I really feel ashamed!"
The old man smiled and said: "Although you are here to be a spy, but I understand your intentions, what you want is not to fight, all you love is peace, just by virtue of this, I have to do everything I have to entertain you, and do my best to be a landlord, right-brother, you help me look at the fire under the medicine hanger." β
Ma Ge Xiuyuan smiled: "I'm going to stay at your house for a few days, and I'm not going anywhere, I'll cause you trouble." β
The two of them talked and did things at the same time, and after a while, the meal was ready, and the old man served the meal and went to feed his wife.
In addition to entertaining Ma Ge Xiuyuan, what the old man was most concerned about was to boil the medicine carefully, and on the fifth day, he smelled a fine fragrance.
On the sixth day, the neighbors could smell a strong fragrance, and when asked about He Xiang, the old man only said that he was boiling medicine for the child and his mother. However, people are curious about what kind of fragrance this is, because this fragrance is rich and pure, and the smell is intoxicating, and even the three village elders in the village smell the fragrance and rush here.
These three surnames are village elders, but they are one surname and one person, and there are exactly three of them.
"It smells so good!" said one sniffer.
"What kind of incense is this?" said another, wondering.
"What kind of medicine do you boil at home?" asked the patriarch surnamed Liu.
The village elders with the three surnames, that is, the patriarchs of the three surnames, came together at this time, although the words asked in their mouths were quite casual, but the expression was serious, but it really scared the old man!
The old man hurriedly stepped forward to salute. However, the old man didn't dare to say that it was 10,000-year-old ginseng, and he explained while inviting the three elders into the house:
"This is the medicine specially prepared by the old medical officer of Hejing Medicine Hall for my Xiaohai and the child's mother's illness. β
"What a world!" Patriarch Liu said: "You are busy boiling medicine at home, but you don't know that the fragrance of this medicine has alarmed all the beasts in the mountain, running around the wall, and it is about to turn into a beast tide, it is estimated that there will be a big beast tonight - what kind of medicine did Hejing Medicine Hall get for you, it is so fragrant? If the beast tide comes, isn't this a trap for our whole village!"
"What?!" The old man was taken aback: the beast tide, although he had only met once in his life, but he was still young at that time, and that terrible scene made people frightened and scattered, and anyone who saw it once would never forget it.
"It seems that the whole village will have to keep vigil tonight. One of the three elders said. So the three elders, the three patriarchs of the village with the three surnames, sat down under the plane tree in the courtyard of the old man's house, and called some of the hunters of the three surnames and various clans to discuss the matter of guarding against the tide of beasts. The old man served them tea.
At this time, it was already the beginning of the afternoon. A twenty-eight-nine-year-old man who was in charge of watching the wind and watching, the old man recognized him as Zhang Nanfeng, came in with a happy face and reported to the third elder that there were many fewer wild beasts outside the stockade than before.
After everyone heard this, the younger ones were a little happy, but when they looked at the older ones and the three elders, their faces were even more solemn.
"South wind", Patriarch Zhang said: "You have grown so big, you have never seen the beast tide hit the village." You don't know, there are fewer beasts, but I am afraid that there are higher and more terrible beasts that have come and scared the lower beasts away, but in fact it is more dangerous. β
"That's the case!" Zhang Nanfeng was surprised.
"Our village has not been harmed by the beast tide pit for nearly 40 years, and the young people have not gone through the battle, so naturally they don't understand the key points here. β
It was the patriarch surnamed Wang who spoke, he was the youngest among the three elders, but he was also in his seventies. "It's still an hour before it gets dark, so let's go and see the situation outside the village with a few old antiques. β
So the three elders and the villagers left one after another.
At this moment, a crisp bell sounded in the air. The bell was unhurried, not only clear and intelligible, but also quiet, as if it were ringing in the ears, and at the same time a voice was heard singing:
A hundred years old time and misfortune, the world is ignorant and self-wrong. The heavenly machine is clearly distinguished by my judgment? A fortune and a fortune refer to the lost way -- fortune telling! Fortune telling! God counts the heavenly machine wholeheartedly and loyally, and the fortune teller is coming -- I have to indicate it with a hexagram, and I will live a safe life from now on.
Everyone was puzzled: Where did the fortune teller come from at this time?
The three elders and a group of villagers looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw a white-clothed scholar, with a scribe's scarf on his head, wearing a white dust coat, stepping on cloud embroidered silk shoes, holding a white banner in his left hand and a purple gold bell in his right hand. I am walking from the entrance of the village step by step.
But when the bell shook and went, it sounded a string of crisp bells, and I saw that the front of the banner read: "Heaven and God calculate; as soon as the wind blew, the flag turned, and a line of words appeared on the back, which read: A good man has a safe life.
When I got closer and looked again, I saw that the face of this white-clothed man was like the autumn moon, his eyebrows were like willow knives, his eyes were like ancient pools, and the divine light in his eyes reflected the water, which seemed to be unfathomable.
The white-clothed man came to the front and saluted everyone, "Everyone, please, please! But if there are strange worries and doubts, this great immortal can give you some advice." β
The three elders and everyone didn't have time to speak, and that Zhang Nanfeng was originally a young and frizzy person, and he was in an unhappy mood because of the beast tide at this time, so he immediately stopped Xiangshi's words and said unceremoniously:
"I've never heard of any gods in this world, you're a self-appointed immortal, right?"
"Haha! Good eyesight! I can actually see at a glance that my great immortal is self-appointed. But even if you ask me to calculate, this great immortal will not tell the fortune of your little hairy child. β
"Who do you say is a little hairy child? Who is rare for you to tell fortunes with old winter melons!?" Zhang Nanfeng sneered.
"Nanfeng! Don't be rude!" Patriarch Zhang, one of the three elders, opened his mouth to stop the younger members of the family, "Dare to ask Daxian, did you miss the stay or pass by here?" If Daxian needs help, Xiao Lao'er, as the patriarch, can provide convenience. β
"Thank you, Ben Daxian didn't miss the night, nor did he pass through this place - I only came for his doll. The white-clothed soldier stretched out his flag and pointed ahead, and his words were amazing.
"In that case, please come with me. Patriarch Zhang, the village elder who accosted him, said.
When the other people heard the words of the white-clothed man, they all wondered in their hearts, and they all followed curiously.
After a while, everyone gathered again in the courtyard of the old man's house, and heard the white-clothed man say in a serious tone: "If I don't come today, there will be a great disaster in your village!"
The white-clothed man is really a blockbuster, but this amazing remark also speaks to everyone's hearts.
The three elders said in unison: "Please advise the Great Immortal." β
Zhang Nanfeng was unhappy in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said disdainfully:
"As the saying goes, 'fortune telling, a belly of nonsense,' patriarch grandpa, don't be deceived by him.'" He came from outside the village, and naturally saw that there was going to be a beast tide in our village, what kind of disaster could there be, and he just talked about deceiving people!"
The three elders hurriedly scolded.
The white-clothed man ignored him, and only spoke to the old man: "The ginseng soup you boil will only be good for six days and six nights, and if you continue to boil it, the medicinal properties will weaken." β
Only then did everyone understand that the medicine boiled by the old man was ginseng soup, but they were strange: they had never seen ginseng soup with such a particularly strong meat flavor! This is really extraordinary, and it greatly subverts people's understanding!
"Daxian," said the old man, "I naturally believe you when it comes to fortune-telling." But boiling this medicine was taught to me by the old doctor of Hejing Medicine Hall, this is a matter related to my son's net worth and life, how can I listen to you?"
"Hahahaha. The white-clothed man laughed:
"I know how to see both fate and medicine. The medicine hall doctor only knows one and doesn't know the other.
Do you know that the cicada has flown away, leaving only the skin that has been shed, and I am talking about the ginseng you boiled, the essence of which has passed away, and it cannot cure your son's disease. but it can cure your wife's illness.
If you don't believe me, you can invite your wife out, and I'll treat her now, and you answer me first, and if you get rid of the disease immediately, do you still believe me?"
The old man was shocked and rejoiced: What surprised him was how the other party knew that his wife was sick in bed? Perhaps this person really had the ability to calculate; the joy was that the other party had such ability and could not lie if he thought about it, and maybe he could really cure the illness of his wife and children;
So the old man hurriedly said, "I believe it, I believe it." And they all rejoiced.
"Won't you invite your wife out?" said the white-clothed man calmly.
"Quick, quick!" said the crowd. Without waiting for the old man to greet him, a few female relatives of the family had already carried the old woman's wife, known as the old girl, to the yard with the bed.
The old man also brought the medicine hanger. When I opened the medicine hanger, I saw that there were as many as three bowls of juice inside, which was extremely rich and the aroma was intoxicating.
The white-clothed Xiangshi poured the ginseng soup into three large white magnetic bowls, took out a green jade bottle from his sleeve, poured out a dark red pill, the size of a longan, put it into a bowl of ginseng soup, stirred it with a silver spoon, and handed it to the old girl.
"Drink!"
The old girl looked at the old man, and then at the small bangs leaning on the side of the bed. The old man gave him a look, meaning to drink.
The little bangs are small but very sensible, and they say, "Mom drinks medicine." β
So the old girl drank the medicine, and felt only that it was sweet in her mouth, and after a while the rumbling in her belly was clear and audible, and in a moment she felt an unbearable need for convenience, and at once she got up from her bed and went up to the hut.
The white-clothed man said, "How? Now you should believe me, right?"
The old man was so excited that he was stunned.
The white-clothed scholar didn't care, and turned his face to Ma Ge Xiuyuan, who was watching from the sidelines, and said: "I know where you come from, I advise you to come from and where you go back!
And again, go back and tell your superior, that he should report to your lord, and not to the south, but to guard against the north. Ten years, there will be changes!"
When Ma Ge Xiuyuan heard this, he was shocked, and secretly praised this white-clothed scholar for being a god, and he had actually recognized his identity! However, the words of the white-clothed scholar were too amazing, which made Ma Ge Xiuyuan feel uneasy when he heard this.
At this time, the old man already believed 200% of the words of the white-clothed Xiangshi, and immediately said to Ma Ge Xiuyuan: "Brother, there is nothing wrong with listening to the Great Immortal!"
Ma Ge Xiuyuan said "yes", immediately thanked the white-clothed minister, and then saluted the old man, and hurriedly left.
Then the white-clothed man said to the crowd, "There are two more bowls, one for the master and the other for the master," he seemed to groan.
Zhang Nanfeng pushed the old man who was out of his mind, "Uncle Kui, the great immortal told you to drink medicine!"
"Ah," the old man came back to his senses, and was about to kneel down to thank the great immortal. But he was brushed by the great immortal, but he couldn't kneel.
"You drink the medicine too. β
"Yes!" said the old man excitedly.
"That frizzy boy!" The white-clothed Xiangshi pointed at Zhang Nanfeng: "Your kung fu practice is not right, you hurt your hand and Shaoyin Sutra, you can drink half a bowl." β
After speaking, the white-clothed Xiangshi poured out half of the last bowl of ginseng soup and handed it to Zhang Nanfeng, but poured the other half into a small magnetic bottle and sealed it and handed it to the third elder, "Take good care of it, maybe you can save the lives of one or two people in your village in the future." β
Zhang Nanfeng looked excited, stepped forward quickly, and thanked for the grace.
The white-clothed man laughed sarcastically: "Don't say that I'm talking about deception this time, right?"
One sentence made Zhang Nanfeng red-faced. The three elders salute in unison. Patriarch Zhang said: "Children are ignorant, and great immortals are not strange. β
The white-clothed man said: "I still have to treat this doll, you can't watch." The medicine has been distributed, and the beast tide will naturally subside. You may all be gone. β
The three elders said that they would thank Daxian for saving my village's life, and they took everyone away.
The courtyard fell silent. At this time, the old girl also came back with Shi Shiran, and saw that her face was ruddy, although she was still thin, but she was no longer sick. The old man said: "Please also ask Daxian to save my son." β
"I came for this son. The white-clothed man said, "Why don't you invite me to sit in the house?"
"Please!" said the old man and his wife.
