Chapter 6: Traveling with Qi

I thought about it, so I told him what happened last night, and I didn't raise my head when I saw him listening to it, and I didn't know how this person was going to deal with He Shou Wu Zhihua, and when he was waiting for him to express his attitude, someone knocked on the door outside Brother Pan's courtyard, and when Sister Li ran out and opened the door, it turned out to be Yin An.

came to visit so early, and just as Lao Lei came out of the house, Yin An went straight to him, he walked straight to Lao Lei and hugged his fists and said straight to the point: "Sir, I heard that you have picked a hundreds of years old He Shou Wu, my father-in-law is now dying, can you borrow Shou Wu for use, as long as I have it, I can take it out and exchange it." ”

Unexpectedly, this Yin An originally came to beg Lao Lei to ask for He Shouwu, and he knew the news very quickly. Seeing Yin An's pleading attitude, and thinking of the kind Uncle Teng, I suddenly felt that Uncle Teng was also very pitiful, I only saw him coughing and wheezing continuously yesterday, but I didn't expect that Uncle Teng was dying.

In addition, I just heard a touching story, I don't want to break up a few little brothers and sisters in a family, people have no mother, and if they lose their brother again, a few little dolls will not be able to live. I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. Lao Lei still ate the glutinous rice cake in his hand, and did not raise his eyes to look at Yin An.

This is a big deal Yin An, this young man is uneasy and doesn't know what to do, and when he saw me sitting on the side, he said to me like a life-saving straw: "Sister Lin, Daddy is really dying, sister, you help me intercede, save Daddy." ”

Yin Anbian said, and his eyes seemed to be red. Seeing this scene, I didn't know what to do all of a sudden, on one side was the poor Shouwu brother, on the other side was the kind Uncle Teng, and He Shouwu was not mine.

At this point, just looking at Yin An looking at me eagerly, as if waiting for me to intercede for him, Lao Lei was bored, as if he was completely out of the matter, I wondered, why did this problem seem to have been transferred to my head all at once? Moreover, the story about He Shouwu's brothers and sisters was still told to Lao Lei.

Just as I was thinking about what to say, Lao Lei had finished eating and drinking, and looked at me with a wicked smile and said in a rather gloating tone: "Sister Lin, I have eaten and drunk enough, according to your wishes, now go and return Brother He Shouwu, I hope he can protect his younger brothers and sisters, hehe, do you want to go and see it?"

I hesitated, and suddenly had a bit of hatred for this old Lei in my heart, this guy, how can he be so good at passing on the problem, but with a little cunning little treacherous, it seems that he is waiting to see me deflated, and said that this is what I mean.

In this case, I will kick the ball back to you, so I said to Yin An: "Hey, I also want to save Uncle Teng, such a good person, such a kind old man, and I know the culture and customs of the Miao family, and I know almost all the allusions of Miao Jiang, but unfortunately, A An (Yin An), such a precious He Shou Wu belongs to this gentleman, you ask, or let this Mr. Lei agree, I am not very familiar with this gentleman, you beg me useless." ”

After hearing what I said, Lao Lei gave me a blank look, got up and left without saying a word. Haha, now it's up to him to deal with it. Yin An saw Lao Lei leaving, and hurriedly followed behind the other party's buttocks, but he didn't think about how to phrase and beg for that He Shouwu, so he had to follow first.

I also wanted to see how this matter ended up, so I joined in the excitement and followed.

Walking outside for more than an hour, Yin An couldn't bear to plead with Lao Lei twice, willing to pay his own hand to He Shouwu to treat Uncle Teng, even if he was a cow and a horse to serve Lao Lei in the future, but Lao Lei always remained silent.

As we walked farther and farther away, we finally reached the ravine, surrounded by trees and flowers, and we followed a stream to the bottom of the ravine, where we came to several mossy boulders.

This is the deepest part of the ditch, surrounded by hundreds of flowers and trees surrounded by mossy boulders, and a few large boulders are pressed against the side of the stream so that the water of the stream flows through it gathers into a small pond, and under a huge boulder on the edge of the pond, someone has already supported one foot with three or four other half-sized stones.

Lao Lei walked to the big stone and leaned down, took out the He Shou Wu wrapped in newspaper from his arms, and gently put the Shou Wu under the boulder.

"Please, sir, save my Daddy, I'll kneel for you. Yin An saw that Lao Lei had taken out the shouwu, and couldn't help but kneel at Lao Lei's feet and plead seriously. How do you know that Lao Lei said coldly to Yin An this time: "Since you are so begging at this moment, why bother to be sneaky before." ”

Hearing Lao Lei say this, I wondered a little in my heart, what did he mean by this, and after thinking about it, I suddenly guessed, could it be that the spotted python last night would be Yin An's means? Could it be that Yin An originally wanted to use the python to steal or snatch He Shou Wu Zhihua last night, but he didn't succeed, so he came to ask for it today, otherwise how could Yin An know so quickly that Lao Lei had Shou Wu, maybe it was the insect Gu of his envoy who found out about this.

I saw Yin An suddenly kowtow again and again, and said while kowtowing: "Sir, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, I, I shouldn't have done that, it's just that Daddy is now at the end of his life and his time is running out, please sir, you must save Daddy." When Yin An said this, it was tantamount to admitting what happened the night before. After all, he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, kneeling at the feet of people and begging The appearance can not help but make people feel compassion, the night before may have been to save people's hearts, so he wanted to make the python steal Lao Lei's He Shouwu, sure enough, I heard him continue: "Sir, I was confused for a while, because the family can't get anything decent to exchange with you, and I don't have much money, I really can't make this decision, please Mr. atone, forgive me for my abrupt behavior." ”

After a moment of silence, Lao Lei said: "If you were an ordinary person, I'm afraid I would be killed last night, right?"

"No, no, Dahua has never attacked people, it's my partner for ten years, it's very well-behaved, and it's usually very gentle. Yin An hurriedly explained.

"However, these He Shou Wu have been psychic, last night I dreamed that if it were not for the protection of the big brother of the Shou Wu I picked, the other three small Shou Wu would also be in danger, they have lost their mother, can you bear to see them die in a broken family" Lao Lei said to Yin An.

"Well, sir, my father-in-law ...... him. Yin An was clumsy for a while, and he didn't know how to say it again.

At this time, Lao Lei has put He Shou Wu in his hand back into the small soil pit dug out yesterday, and once again He Shou Wu cultivated soil, planted flowers, and cleaned up, Lao Lei whispered to He Shou Wu like a person: "Shou Wu brother, no wonder I picked you out yesterday, everything has a spirit, cultivation is not easy, I don't know that you have been psychic and have unfortunate family affairs, at this moment you quickly took your younger brothers and sisters to find another place, this is no longer a safe place, and it will be dangerous if you don't leave." ”

Lao Lei said this, let me think that this person is a virtuous person, there seems to be a little compassion in his heart, but seeing him talk to a plant like this can't help but look a little funny, and even, even I have a little doubt that last night's dream is real, how can these Shouwu plants leave on their own?

At this moment, a startling scene happened. I saw a few corollas of Shou Wu nodding to Lao Lei with branches and leaves like people, together with the big brother Zhihua who had just re-cultivated the soil, the flower stems of the four Shou Wu trees bowed to Lao Lei nine times in a bent and nodding posture in a rhythmic manner, and then twisted the flower stems and bowed to me nine times.

These four shouwu stems are thanking Lao Lei and me! I was amazed in my heart just by looking at them, and at the same time there was a slight relief in my heart, these four shouwu plants are really psychic, and how extraordinary and full of spirituality is nature and even all things.

After bowing to Lao Lei and me, the stems of the four shouwu flowers trembled slightly, as if some kind of force from the ground was dragging their rhizomes, and the shouwu were pulled into the ground and disappeared in unison. It seems that they seem to have escaped from the ground, which may be the ability of the big brother of Shouwu Zhihua.

"Ah, they!" Seeing that Shouwu was gone, Yin An, who was anxious, hurriedly stretched out his arms to grab these grass and tree spirits, but unfortunately he was one step slower after all, and the four Shouwu plants that were originally hiding under the boulder had disappeared.

Seeing this result, Yin An was completely speechless and desperate, he originally expected to use this hundred-year-old Shouwu to renew his father's life, but now he has completely broken this thought, his heart is both lost and sad, worried about the illness of his father at home, Yin An did not say a word, turned his head and left in silence, but just took two steps, but he heard the old Lei behind him shouting to himself: "Young man, don't be in a hurry, or I'll give your father a look?"

Looking at Lao Lei's smiling face, thinking of Lao Lei's indifferent attitude towards himself just now, Yin An didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's heart, with a little doubt and incomprehension, Yin Anxin muttered, clasped his fists with both hands and waved deeply at Lao Lei and said, "Then I invite Mr. Lei, I thank Mr. for your kindness on behalf of Daddy." ”

Through all kinds of circumstances, Yin An already knows that Lao Lei is a stranger, and now Daddy's body is in danger, and he has no other way, seeing that Lao Lei can be so kind-hearted and selfless to send He Shouwu back to the mountains, and take him to see Daddy's illness, it is also a little more hope, even if it is not good, it should not be harmful to Daddy.

I didn't expect Lao Lei to have such a play, and offered to go to see Uncle Teng, since this is the case, I will continue to watch the excitement.

After following Yin An all the way to the wooden building in the bamboo forest where Uncle Teng lived, Uncle Teng, who was sick on the bed, accepted Lao Lei's pulse with great gratitude. I saw it really on the side, Lao Lei pressed his eyes on Uncle Teng's left arm with three fingers and closed his eyes, and he really looked like an old Chinese doctor, quite strangely, when Lao Lei took Uncle Teng's pulse, Uncle Teng suddenly shot a strange light, as if he was quite amazed by Lao Lei's pulse.

After a moment, Lao Lei opened his eyes and asked Uncle Teng with some doubts: "Uncle, due to my shallow medical skills and lack of experience, in order to cure your illness, I need to understand some specific details in detail, I don't know if Uncle can tell you the truth about the onset of your illness." ”

"Well, of course, I know everything about being able to get such a master to act for me, old man, thank you very much. Uncle Teng said to Lao Lei, and his tone seemed to be extremely respectful to Lao Lei.

What does it mean to "travel with qi", is it a way to call the pulse, I muttered in my heart. (PS: In the history of traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying of "ten ways and nine doctors", such as the famous Chinese medicine masters Sun Simiao, Fang Zhongjing, etc., are all practitioners of medicine and Taoism, after applying Taoist internal strength to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, in order to be able to microscopicly diagnose the problems of various bodies and organs, tissues and meridians in the patient's body, according to the operation of the five elements of yin and yang, and the eight meridians of the strange meridians in the human body, a stream of true qi is injected into the patient's body and walks in the meridians and five elements of the viscera and diagnoses the patient's symptoms in accordance with the operation of the five elements of yin and yang and the eight meridians of the strange meridians in the human body)

"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth, according to what I just found in your veins, old sir, there is a very deep and very stubborn poison hidden in your meridians, which is mainly concentrated in the veins near the liver, so it causes your liver to flourish and cause what modern medicine calls cirrhosis. In addition, among these latent poisons, there is also a very small black cockroach-like worm that is smaller than half a grain of rice, and from the medical scriptures I studied, this cockroach-like worm with black millet grains seems to be a kind of corpse worm. "Lao Lei is telling Uncle Teng.
