Chapter Thirty-Six: The Wonderful Hands of the Apricot Forest
In the early morning, a soft sunlight poured in from the bamboo window, waking up Liu Yifan.
In a daze, I heard a crisp and pleasant birdsong outside the house, which was very pleasant.
There seems to be a quaint tune coming from the faint melody, which seems to be in harmony with the birdsong, as beautiful as fairy music, quiet and elegant.
Liu Yifan opened his eyes, slowly sat up, and looked around with a puzzled expression.
It's a bamboo house, not very spacious, but it's more than enough for one person. The furnishings in the room are very simple and quaint, most of the utensils are made of bamboo, and the bed he is lying on is also the same.
"Where am I?" Liu Yifan's consciousness was still a little vague, and he felt that he couldn't exert his strength all over his body. I don't know how I ended up in such a place. Didn't he just go to the Seven Absolute Poetry Meeting?
Thinking of the poetry meeting, scenes began to emerge in Liu Yifan's mind, until he fell into the water for it.
"Ah, I was trying to avoid Zhang Liao and them, and because of an inexplicable pain in my stomach in the forest, I accidentally fell into the water. Liu Yifan completely remembered.
I was busy looking down and looking, and when I found that I was not missing arms or legs, I was relieved. There were a few scratches on his body, and I don't know who smeared the wound medicine.
Liu Yifan's original clothes have also been replaced, and now he is wearing a burlap shirt. The size is slightly larger, and it is a bit leaky.
The clothes I wore before had been washed and placed neatly on a bamboo table not far away. There was also a small wooden box next to it, and Liu Yifan knew that it was used by him to put the golden needles given by the remnants of a hundred flowers.
"Looks like I was rescued from the water by some kind Samaritan. Liu Yifan thought so. He didn't know who it was, but it was certain that it could never be the Wang family or Zhang Liao. It is impossible for the former to wake him up again, and the latter, looking at Dong Bai's well-dressed appearance, this simple bamboo house is definitely impossible to live in.
Suddenly, I heard a "grunt" sound suddenly coming out of my abdomen. Liu Yifan was shocked, thinking that the unbearable abdominal pain was about to start again, but he immediately reacted, it was just his stomach protesting and saying: Enjoy the food.
Liu Yifan laughed at himself, and said in his heart: "It seems that I am still a little scared." ”
"Hey, this scene and this plot are familiar. Isn't it usually played like this in TV dramas, where the protagonist is killed. Then when you open your eyes, a beautiful woman will push the door in with medicine or rice. Then during the period when the protagonist was recuperating from his injury, the small flame of love between the two burned quickly, and they never gave up and composed a song of love. ”
Liu Yifan suddenly thought of some plots when he was chasing dramas before, and a little expectation suddenly rose in his heart. If you want to talk about the protagonist, isn't he the protagonist of his life, I don't know if this time he will say goodbye to the group of single dogs because of a blessing in disguise.
I don't know if Liu Yifan's expectations have reached heaven, so I heard a "squeak", and the bamboo door was really pushed open.
In Liu Yifan's eyes full of surprise and expectation, the first thing he saw was a tray with a pottery bowl.
"Eh, the bowl is here! Is this really going to be acted as I just said?" Liu Yifan felt that his heartbeat seemed to speed up a little, and he felt nervous when he was introduced on a blind date by a colleague for the first time.
It's just that the hand that came in with the tray made Liu Yifan's little fantasy completely broken. It was an old man's hands, dry and emaciated.
In came an old man of about fifty or sixty years of age, with silver hair and a kind face. Like those hands, the old man was very thin, and his thin body seemed to be able to blow in a breeze. But he walked very steadily, and the tray he was holding was even more stable, and even the black-brown soup in the bowl did not make the slightest ripple.
The old man came in and saw that Liu Yifan had woken up, and was sitting on the bed looking at him with a look of regret. Although he didn't understand what the other party regretted, he still said with a smile: "This young man, you are awake, you have been in a coma for seven days and seven nights." ”
"Seven days and seven nights?!" Liu Yifan was shocked, why did he close his eyes and open them in a week.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I originally thought that the young man would wake up tomorrow." As a result, yesterday, my senior sister suddenly told me that Shaoxia would wake up today, so I boiled the medicine in advance. It seems that Xiao Lao'er is still not good at learning. ”
Put down the tray and pick up the pottery bowl and handed it to Liu Yifan, saying, "Shaoxia drank this bowl of medicine first, make up for it." ”
"Senior sister, this old man is so old, isn't his senior sister even more like an old woman?"
Liu Yifan glanced at the old man, and then at the black-brown soup in the bowl. The heart said that if these people wanted to harm him, why should they use poison or other means? While he was unconscious, nothing had already been done.
Thinking of this, Liu Yifan no longer hesitated anything, took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wow, that's so bitter. "Liu Yifan has grown so big, and the most bitter thing he eats is bitter gourd. This bowl of soup that I don't know what it is, it's like using a few catties of bitter gourd to stew a pot of bitter soup, and finally condense it into a bowl of feeling, the bitter one is called a sour one.
The old man smiled and said, "Since ancient times, good medicine is bitter. The young man had not eaten for seven days and seven nights, and his internal organs were already weak. This bowl of small rejuvenation soup is peaceful and neutral, replenishing qi and rejuvenating the mind. Just right for the young man now. ”
Hearing what he said, Liu Yifan also felt that after a bowl of soup and medicine, not only did the hunger in his stomach dissipate, but the limbs that were weak and weak just now gradually recovered some strength, and a faint warm current wandered all over his body, which was really amazing.
Liu Yifan hurriedly wanted to go down to the ground to thank him, but the old man obviously saw his plan, and his thin left hand gently rested on his shoulder. Liu Yifan felt that the other party didn't have much strength in his hands, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get up again.
Liu Yifan was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that the old man who saved him would be so strong in martial arts.
The old man smiled and said: "Young heroes don't need to be polite, saving lives and helping the injured is my style of doing things in the valley." Shaoxia and it is good to have a good rest first, although the little rejuvenation soup is magical, it is not a miracle medicine, and it still needs time to slowly recuperate. ”
When the other party said so, Liu Yifan no longer twisted politely, sat on the bed and bowed: "Under Liu Yifan, there is no way to repay the grace of saving his life today, if he is sent in the future, he will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire! I don't know if the old man is ......"
Although his words were learned from the lines he heard in previous TV series, his tone was sincere, and he was also what he really thought in his heart, and he was not fake.
"The little old man's surname is Dong Mingfeng, and everyone calls me Old Man Dong. The old man smiled and said: "I return to the Spring Valley to save people's difficulties and help people's troubles, I only hope that benevolence will be widely spread, and the world's health will be fulfilled, and there is no need to mention the matter of repaying kindness." ”
"It turns out that the Rejuvenation Valley Dong Feng Dong is an old senior!" Liu Yifan didn't expect that he was so lucky that he was rescued by the Rejuvenation Valley, one of the most mysterious three valleys.
This rejuvenation valley is famous for its medical skills, and the two holy hands in the valley, the medical saint Hua Tuo and the medicine saint Zhang Ji have a lofty status in the rivers and lakes, and are admired by all the people.
It's just that the Valley of Rejuvenation is hidden, and no one knows where it is. With the same mysterious traces of the Bosom Valley and Buxing Valley, it is called the three secret valleys of the rivers and lakes on the rivers and lakes.
As the eldest disciple of the valley, Dong Feng is naturally also famous for his medical skills. I heard that he would leave Huichun Valley for nearly three months every year to practice medicine and save the world in his old mansion near his hometown Houguan County.
Because Dong Feng never charged the slightest amount of money for treatment, he only let the cured patients plant an apricot tree around his old house to show his gratitude.
Today, the old house is surrounded by thousands of apricot trees, becoming an apricot forest outside the world. Dong Feng was also called "Xinglin Wonderful Hand" by the people on the rivers and lakes.
Dong Feng smiled and said: "What seniors are not seniors, they are just a few years older." Just call me Old Man Dong. He didn't care much about Liu Yifan's surprise, and the people who saw them for the first time in Rejuvenation Valley all reacted like this.
Dong ...... The old man's life-saving grace, the kid is unforgettable. Maybe the old man doesn't need the kid to repay the favor, but the kid will remember it. Liu Yifan bowed again on the bed.
Dong Feng waved his hand, dodged away from Liu Yifan's bow, and said, "Young heroes really don't need to be polite. Besides, it wasn't me who saved the young man, it was my senior sister. If you really want to say thank you, it's better to wait for the young man's physical cultivation another day, and thank my senior sister. ”
"Senior sister?" Liu Yifan was stunned, isn't this Dong Feng the eldest disciple of Rejuvenation Valley, when will there be another senior sister. Could it be that the rumors in the rivers and lakes are wrong? I was puzzled, but I was not too easy to ask, so I could only say: "They are all benefactors, so naturally they all want to be thanked." I don't know who Old Man Dong's senior sister is?"
Dong Feng's face was embarrassed when he heard this, and he said, "My senior sister doesn't like others to say her name. It's better to ask Shaoxia himself in person another day. ”
Liu Yifan was slightly surprised, and said, "In this way, it is abrupt." I hope that Old Man Dong will not be surprised. ”
"I still like to be mysterious, who will this Dong Feng's senior sister be?" Liu Yifan's curiosity was aroused.
