Next, the Bai family is naturally enthusiastic to stay, feast and entertain, thank you a thousand times, and be grateful.
During the dinner, the two sides each talked about their family origins and their different life experiences, and the two had a good impression of each other and cherished each other.
Bai Chongxian was very sympathetic to the embarrassing situation of Bai Chongshan's ancestors, and wanted to get closer to him and help him. With the strength of the wine, Bai Chongxian took advantage of the excitement and said: "I think Mr. is not only excellent in medicine, just like Hua Tuo's reincarnation, but also a very kind and bold person, if you don't mind, Bai is willing to marry Mr. as a brother of the opposite sex, I don't know if Mr. is willing?"
"Isn't that little one climbing?" Bai Chongshan's ancestors were also a little drunk, so they were naturally happy.
"In that case, how about you and I bow down in front of the church?"
After burning incense and bowing to the oath, the two married Jin Lan, and after exchanging the eight characters of the birthday, Bai Chongxian was the brother, and the ancestor of Bai Chongshan was the younger brother.
"That is, I have already bowed, and my brother has a reluctant request: my brother is willing to follow Brother Bai's surname, although he is not related by blood, but he is a brother with the same surname, wouldn't he be closer?"
"This... I don't welcome it, but I'm afraid my brother's family won't agree. ”
"No problem. Before, my brother knew the cause and effect of my family's exile here, the younger brother's family is actually the descendants of the Liangshan Yi people Zimo, belonging to the Wumeng branch, and the descendants of the family are all surnamed Wumeng, for example, the younger brother is called Wumeng Chier, and the next generation is also called Wumeng, and it will not change for all generations. But this is only within the family. Outside, in order to facilitate the incognito of our names, no longer provoke the enemies of the same clan to chase and kill, and continue to go deep into the hinterland of the Han people, and also to facilitate exchanges and trade with the Han people, most of the people of the clan are different from person to person, and they all take the name of the Han people according to the > of the Han people. For several generations, the surname 'Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng Wang' in > has been used by each of our families. Sometimes, in order to follow the local customs and integrate into the local area, we also constantly change our surnames, for example, Zhaojiacun or Qianjiazhai or Sunjiatun or Lijia Town who are willing to accommodate us for a short time, we change to local surnames to facilitate mutual close communication. If the elder brother agrees with the younger brother's surname Bai, the younger brother vows: From now on, he will never change this surname, and the same as my Yi surname, will not change for all generations. ”
"So you and I are closer again. The younger brother is my surname with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother cannot accept it emptyly. Bai Zhenxian replied happily, "In this way, my 'ghost valley' private land is high and forested, and there are springs and pools in the valley, except for some remoteness, it is also suitable for people to live in the village. My brother is a medicine picker and drug seller, which is even more appropriate and convenient. I will make a contract today to give it to my younger brother as a great gift for you and me to change their surnames, so that the younger brother and his clan will end the embarrassment of having no fixed place to live and being displaced everywhere. What does the little brother think?"
"Brother's 'Ghost Valley' is worth no less than 10,000 gold, and the younger brother will never dare to accept this big gift, which makes people poke the backbone and reprimand the younger brother for being a treacherous villain who seeks his brother's wealth. If the brother insists, the brother will immediately say goodbye, go away from the country, and never see each other again. The ancestor of Bai Chongshan flatly refused. Although he is slightly drunk, his virtue and integrity have not slept.
Bai thought for a while and said: "In this way, for the sake of taking care of my brother's virtue and reputation, my brother will lease the land of 'Ghost Valley' to my brother, with an annual rent of one tael of silver and a lease period of 99 years. The conditions are: Bai's only son worships under the younger brother's door, learns medical medicine, and hangs the pot to help the world. After expiration, whether to renew the lease or give it away is up to the descendants of the two families to decide. If the younger brother refuses to resign again, and disobeys his brother's kindness, he will dislike his brother and be unkind. ”
Under the sincere and bitter persuasion of the old mother of the Bai family and the white wife, the ancestors of Bai Chongshan settled in the 'Ghost Valley' of the village, multiplied and passed on from generation to generation, and there was the 'Ghost Valley' medicine village today.
The two families have been friends for generations, open and honest, and have no troubles. A few generations later, when Bai Chongshan's grandfather arrived, Bai Chongxian's descendants finally gave the 'Ghost Valley' unconditionally to the Bai Chongshan family. The descendants of Bai Chongxian also got the true inheritance of Bai Chong's yam Wang family's medical skills and pharmaceuticals, practiced medicine from generation to generation, and finally became a medical master within a radius of 100 miles, well-known in the southwest, and famous in the South Seas.
