Chapter 5, this ginseng has a great origin
The word says;
There are many strange ancient trees on the ridge peaks, and the rock climbing crosses the wall around the vines. Watching chess and listening to the boy, holding a cup of water and don't Su'e.
The world is easy to waste, and there are remnants of songs in an instant. Luo Yi couldn't keep it, and the white-haired Xiao Sao was helpless.
- Proposed "Partridge Heaven".
But he said that the old man took his son, followed behind the little medicine boy, and walked deeper into the Hejing Medicine Hall.
The inner hall of Hejing Medicine Hall was secluded, and the three of them walked through the long corridor to the end of the corridor and saw a few pots of flowers here.
Before the little medicine boy could report it, he saw a small dark red door open with a "ah".
As soon as the door opened, the old man saw him and the old doctor walk out sideways, and when he reached the door, he stood still, and did not make a sound, but smiled at him slightly, and motioned for him to pass.
So the old man nodded, indicating that he understood, so he walked over with a puzzle in his heart, and Xiao Bang also followed sensibly and quietly.
The old man bowed to He Youshui, and whispered to the old doctor that he was not polite.
At this time, the old man found that although the old medical officer spoke in the same kind tone as usual, his expression was quite serious and respectful, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.
This is the same as the old medical officer and Youshui is the mind of the inner hall, although he is over eighty years old, he is full of red face and spirit.
This Hejing Medicine Hall is also the ancestral inheritance of Heyoushui's own family. All the medical officers and medicine boys in the hall are disciples of their family. Doctor Li in the outer hall is his junior brother.
At this time, he motioned to the old doctor to say goodbye, and then turned back to the door, and said respectfully in a not too high but very clear tone:
"Grandpa, it just so happens that both of them are here today, will you see them now?"
As the old doctor and the old doctor asked, the old man could hear an old voice from inside and say:
"Again, let them in. β
The old man was puzzled: "Grandpa, and the grandfather of the old medical officer Youshui, haven't you heard that he still has a grandfather alive?"
However, He Youshui said as if he knew his doubts: "Brother Shiqi, my grandfather lives in this house, and he wants to see what is going on with Xiao Liu's illness? β
While talking, several people came to the room together.
The old man raised his eyes and saw that the space in the house was very large, not smaller than the outer hall of the Hejing Medicine Hall, and the large bookshelves under the east wall were full of medical books. Under the south wall is also a large bookcase, but instead of books, bottles, jars, boxes and so on. Along the west wall was a large oval table, on which were placed several pots of flowers, and a large fish tank, in which there were fish, and what species, the old man did not know. On the north side, two screens are used to separate the small compartments of the large and small.
I think the cubicle is the bedroom of the grandfather in front of me, but I can't see anything in the bedroom through the screen.
However, when Xiao Bang saw the fish in the fish tank, he showed the curious light in the eyes of the little man, and he was about to step forward to see the rare things.
The performance of small bangs naturally fell into the eyes of that grandfather.
It turned out that this grandfather was the founder of Hejing Yaotang, he met strange people in his early years, and he was successful in self-cultivation, since his children and grandchildren took over, he retired behind the scenes, and he was dedicated to the Tao, so he was frighteningly old. Among the insiders of the Hejing Medicine Hall, this is not a secret, they all know that they still have an ancestor, and the people outside the Hejing Medicine Hall don't know, so the old man is very surprised. But he knows one thing:
ββAs everyone knows here, the medicine hall was founded in the hands of the ancestor of the He family, He Zixuan.
The ancestor of the He family also knew that Liu Shiqi must be surprised in his heart, but he didn't explain, but just said to Xiao Liuhai:
"Little baby, do you like it? I'll send you a pair to play with. β
This sentence alone attracted the attention of the little bangs: "Really, thank you, grandpa!"
"Don't mess around!" the old man rebuked his son.
"Grandpa is the founder of our family medicine hall. He Youshui introduced the old man from the side.
The old man's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Meet grandpa!"
"Get up, get up, I'm He Zixuan. The cheap name has long been annihilated in the red dust. Since we met today, we are also fated. Your baby, in my opinion, is not very sick. It's just that the physique is unique. β
"Please have mercy on Grandpa!" said the old man.
When He Zixuan heard this, he smiled slightly, but turned his face to He Youshui and said, "Take the jade box, the one that contains the ten thousand year ginseng!"
He Youshui took a jade box from the bookshelf on the south wall, which was transparent, and it could be seen that there was a formed ginseng plant inside.
The ginseng was shining in the box, and everyone could see it clearly, and it was expected that this ginseng must have an extraordinary origin!
"Doll, come over and see if you have any fate, if you want this ginseng. The ancestor of the He family said to Xiao Liuhai, and at the same time beckoned Xiao Liuhai to come forward.
So the small bangs stepped forward.
Everyone saw that the box was unlocked, and a note was pasted, and there were words on the seal, and the hook was scratched. Xiao Bang is illiterate, so he just thinks that this kind old man is giving him the jade box, and he reaches out to pick up the jade box.
"Wait!" said the ancestor of the family.
However, the small bangs have reached out.
Xiao Bang stretched out his hand, and he was still a foot away from the jade box, and he saw that the seal of the jade box was loose and fell down!
But seeing that the seal was fluttering, before it landed, everyone heard a "bang" in their ears, like a young girl's soft moan.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and when they looked at the place where the voice came from, there was no one!
- The voice clearly came from the jade box. But at this time, there was no movement in the jade box. This surprised everyone, and they didn't know what was going on.
However, He Zixuan seemed to know something in advance, and even the tone of his speech changed, and he was no longer as calm and calm as before.
"Quickly show me the jade box!" said the ancestor of the He family hurriedly. Everyone also looked at the jade box, and it seemed that there was a change in it, but it didn't seem to change, and the ginseng was still there.
The ancestor of the He family and Zixuan opened the jade box, glanced at it and closed it, it was indeed seen that his expression was quite excited, and when He Youshui saw his grandfather's excited look, he wondered in his heart, and felt that his heart was very important, after all, his ancestor was usually like an ancient well without waves, but today it was the wind that blew a pool of spring water?
But seeing this, the ancestor of the family and Zixuan said to the old man and his son: "When I returned from your visit to your house and reported to me, I suspected that your child was not sick, but now it seems that it is not." β
Although the voice of this ancestor of the He family was a little hurried at this time, it was obviously suppressed. And Youshui and the old man were all surprised. Xiao Bangs looked dazed, and he didn't know what the old man in front of him said.
"Please make it clear to grandpa!" said Heyoushui.
The old man also stepped forward, bowed down, and pleaded: "Please grandpa be gracious, show mercy, and save the child." I was in the army, a stay is more than ten years, the child's mother pity me, has been waiting, after I come back, before I get married, hoping to live with Hemeimei, but since I got this son, his mother has been sick since then, I am also heartbroken.
What's even more sad is that there are also those who gossip and hurt people's hearts!"
He Zixuan listened, comforted the old man and said: "Shiqi, your situation, and the water have also told me, you don't have to be sad, I can tell you now, this little child of your family is a person who has a lot of fate!"
When the opportunity does not come, he will naturally suffer some pain and sin. Today, as far as I can see, I believe that your hard days are coming to an endβ
Do you see this ginseng? This jade box, even this ginseng, is a thing with a great origin, and in my hands, it is not just a day! If you calculate it carefully, it has been 300 years.
Over the years, no one has been able to open the jade box, but today as soon as your child arrives, it will be opened, doesn't this mean that your child is a person with great fate!"
When the old man heard this, although he was very happy in his heart, he still said to He Zixuan respectfully: "Thank you grandfather for making it clear! It's just that the root of my little Hai'er's illness will not be removed for a day, and I will be uneasy for a day! I also ask grandpa to pay more attention and be more gracious." β
The ancestor of the He family and Zixuan listened to the old man's words and said, "Shiqi, of course I can understand your suffering. However, didn't I tell you, your child is not suffering from some incurable disease, but he has a special physique. Don't worry, with my medical skills, I will be able to cure the disease!"
When the old man heard this and the ancestor of the family talk so firmly, he was naturally grateful.
The ancestor of the He family stopped the old man and thanked him, and said: "Do you know why I want this little baby of your family to come and see this ginseng? This ginseng is not simple, it is indeed a 10,000-year-old ginseng, and this ginseng is so precious that you can't imagine it."
10,000-year-old ginseng can cure all diseases and prolong people's lives. With this 10,000-year-old ginseng, what are you afraid of? This little baby of your family is the one who is tied by chance and deserves to get this 10,000-year-old ginseng. I told you that, but you still don't understand?"
When the old man heard this, he felt greatly settled in his heart, but when he turned his mind, he felt uncomfortable in his heart:
As the ancestor of this family said, this 10,000-year-old ginseng is naturally very precious, but I am afraid that it is a thousand taels of gold, and it is not as valuable as this ginseng, so I can take out all my belongings, how can I buy half of this ginseng?
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel gloomy. The little joy that had just appeared on his face disappeared again, and his brows furrowed again.
However, he also secretly thought in his heart, I can't say, even if I sell iron in this life and work as a slave and servant to Hejing Yaotang, I will save money and exchange this ginseng for my son's medical treatment. It's just that my little Hai'er's problem attacks once a year-
Anyway, I asked the ancestor of this family, can you cut this ginseng and sell it to me little by little?
Thinking of this, the old man resolutely reached into his bosom, and took out the two hundred pieces of silver that he had obtained from selling his skins, and said in his mouth:
"I see. Thank you, Ancestor, for your instructions. I still have the silver taels I got from selling the skins today, so I just ask the ancestor for grace, cut off a piece of this ginseng and sell it to me, and go back to the child to take it! β
He Youshui watched the old man's face change from cloudy to sunny, and suddenly turned cloudy, and after a little thought, he understood the old man's worries. I don't know how to persuade him, after all, this is a 10,000-year-old ginseng.
Unexpectedly, when the ancestor of the He family heard this, he laughed out loud.
This laughed loudly with the ancestor of the family and Zixuan, and after laughing, he pointed at the old man and said, "Son of the world, it's hard for you to care so much for your son." This 10,000-year-old ginseng cannot be sliced and sold. β
Before He Zixuan finished speaking, the old man heard it, and his face suddenly turned gray.
The ancestor of the He family and Zixuan saw it in his eyes and continued:
"Shiqi, you haven't heard me finish speaking, what's the hurry, my ginseng, a person who has no fate, can't change it even if he takes ten thousand taels of gold in exchange, if he is a person who is destined, hehe, even if he doesn't have a penny of silver!
Haha, you don't have to be discouraged, this ginseng, I've decided not to give it to your little baby, do you understand?"
