Hundreds of bitter gaze made me feel a little surprised, but the water on the small stove boiled, and the water vapor rose. I don't know if my eyes are blurred and I am reading it wrong.
"This is snow water. It is stored when it snows in winter. I thought it would be useless this year, but I didn't expect it to be used to boil snow ginseng." Baiku sat next to the small stove, gently fanning the wind, The fire is more vigorous: "Snow ginseng must be boiled with snow water to change the properties of the medicine, otherwise, the medicine is too strong, and you can't stand it."
"After taking this medicine, how long will it take to heal?"
"It depends on your body. If you have a solid body and no other problems, you can rest for ten and a half days after taking the medicine, and it will be almost the same."
As soon as I heard that it would take only ten and a half months to recover, I felt a lot more settled. He seemed to be energized again, took the fan in Baiku's hand and slammed the small stove vigorously.
"Old man, why are you called Baiku?"
"Hundreds of suffering, all kinds of sufferings, when one is born, one must face a hundred kinds of sufferings. This is what the hundred kinds of sufferings mean." Sitting opposite to me, across a small stove, said: "Everyone comes into the world, They are all here to cross the robbery."
I don't know what Baiku means, maybe it's too profound, I won't understand it for a while.
The snow water boiled a small piece of snow ginseng, and after a while, the soup in the medicine pot exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, which smelled very good. Baiku took the pot down, poured out the soup, and said, "Bring it to your big friend. He has a solid body. He drank the snow ginseng medicinal soup directly and his injury would not be serious."
I responded and quickly took the medicinal soup out and handed it to Tie Tuo. Iron camel was not afraid of being hot, so he drank in two mouthfuls and touched his mouth and smiled.
The snow ginseng got rid of the excess medicinal properties, so I took it to dispense the medicine. At this time, I really couldn't hold it anymore. I had been exhausted for a few days, and I was very sleepy. The white-haired old man took us to the next hut. Fang Tian sat by the bed and guarded me. I was so sleepy that I fell asleep when I touched the bed.
I slept until dark, and Fang Tian was still by the side when I woke up. The white-haired old man told us to go out for dinner, but it was just plain and rough tea and rice, but it was very appetizing.
After a meal, Baiku walked out of the hut on the side. Snow ginseng was difficult to use as medicine, and it needed to be cooked for another night. After eating, a few people chatted for a while, and my sleepiness reappeared. This time, I didn't ask Fang Tian to guard by his side. Anyway, this place is very safe and I can rest at ease.
After I lay down again, my eyelids started to fight up and down again, I thought about it for a while, and then fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, when I heard the door of the cabin creaked. When I opened my eyes and looked at it, through the moonlight coming through the door, I saw that the people entering the house seemed to be suffering.
"Young man, come to the pharmacy." Baiku stood by the door and said something to me. I turned over and got up, rubbing my eyes and following him into the pharmacy.
Several stoves in the pharmacy were burning charcoal fires, and various medicinal smells were mixed together, and I couldn't tell whether it smelled good or bad. Baiku told me to sit next to a small stove, and I thought it was for me to sniff the medicine gas again. My disease is in my lungs, and it is useful to inhale some medicine gas, so I grabbed the fan next to me and helped Baiku fan the fire in the small stove.
"Young man." Baiku looked at me next to him, and said, "You are
Do you really recognize me, or pretend not to recognize me? "
"Huh?" I felt a little surprised, I don't know why Baiku asked this suddenly.
Baiku looked at me quietly, his eyes seemed to be able to see the bottom of my heart. He was telling whether I was lying or disguised.
Because I really don't know why he suddenly asked such a question, I am not afraid that he would see any flaws. After a while, Baiku retracted his gaze and added a little charcoal to the small stove.
"Old man, what the hell is going on?" I saw Baiku no longer speak, and my heart was even more ups and downs. I hurriedly asked: "What did you mean by what you asked just now?"
"It seems that you really don't remember. If you don't remember, if I say it again, I'm afraid I will make some taboos."
The more Baiku said that, the more uneasy I became, and I couldn't help but put down the fan in my hand and asked, "Old man, if you have anything to say, you say half of it and leave the other half. Isn't this bothering me?"
"You don't know anything, can you understand me when I say it now?" Baiku paused, perhaps thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "On your back, Is there a crimson birthmark, the birthmark is not big, about the size of a fingernail?"
"Yes... Yes..." I was shocked, and couldn't help but reach out and touch my lower back. There is indeed a birthmark on my lower back. It was born at birth, the scarlet birthmark: "How do you know ?"
"Before, we met."
"Meet?" I followed Baiku's words and began to think hard. I was thinking back, where did I see Baiku before? Or Baiku saw me before
I don't know how many strangers I have to pass by in my entire life. There are some people who have a little impression even if they meet at the time, but after a long time, they will eventually forget. I thought for a long time, but I couldn't remember anyhow, when and where I saw Hundreds.
"Old man, did we meet somewhere, but I didn't pay attention?" I tentatively asked, but when I spoke, I felt wrong. If he was just hurriedly with Baiku, how could he know that there was a scarlet birthmark on my back waist
"It's very early. A long time ago, I saw you a sickness." Baiku slightly raised his head, thought for a while, and said, "It's about sixty years."
"Sixty years..." I chuckled, and after a long time, I was joking. However, I don't understand, how could Baiku make such a joke with me
Suddenly, I remembered making medicine in the pharmacy at noon, looking at me with unpredictable eyes.
"Yeah, it's been sixty years. Time flies." Baiku said, "At that time, I was only in my thirties and I was very strong, but now I am too old."
The harder words made me more confused. I hurriedly sat next to him and said, "Old man, tell me what happened sixty years ago? But, old man, you must have admitted the wrong person, I This year is just in his early twenties."
"I told you. If you believe it, then believe it. If you don't believe it, then listen to it as a story."
"Okay, old man, go ahead."
The old Baikui began to tell while looking after a few stoves.
Old man
I was born in a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, but the family was thin and passed on for several generations. He studied medicine with his father since he was a child. When he was thirty years old, his father passed away. He was immersed in medical skills. As soon as his father left, he was the only one left in the family. Once he had no worries, he would wander around, traveling and helping. People see a doctor, and at the same time visit Xinglin masters to enrich their medical knowledge.
As soon as he traveled, he traveled for several years. By the time he was thirty-seven years old, Baiku’s medical skills had reached a considerable level. In the north of the big river beach, he could hardly find anyone who could point him anymore. There was a plan to continue traveling to the far south.
After he made plans, he set off soon. This time, he decided to travel to the south for ten or eight years, so he had a lot of luggage, so he took the water route and wanted to transfer land from here to the south.
One day, when the sky was approaching dusk, Baiku and the boatman he hired stopped in a small creek to light a fire and cook. Although Baiku has superb medical skills, he has no arrogance and is very easy-going. So he gets along well with the boatman, and the boatman takes care of him. The two are idle here and there is nothing wrong with the boatman. The boatman is fishing by the boat and wants to give it to him at night Make a fish soup.
Fishing by the river is an ordinary thing. Soon after the boatman’s hook was put down, he felt that a fish had taken the bait, but I couldn’t even mention it. The fishing line sank and fell down. The boatman was very happy, thinking that a big fish had taken the bait, and hurriedly greeted Baiku to help. The boatman told Baiku that someone in the river once caught a golden carp that grew one by one and sold it for a big price.
Baiku helped the boatman, but the fishing line could not be raised. The water on the side of the river is not too deep. The boatman told Baiku to take a fishing rod and took a fishing net to go to the bottom of the water.
After going back and forth like this, the fishing net really caught something, and the boat owner took a lot of effort to lift the fishing net up by the buoyancy of the water. After the things in the net surfaced, the boatman was shocked. He couldn't hold the net with both hands, so he sat on the boat.
After all, Baiku is more knowledgeable than the boatman. He usually treats people with illnesses. There are more traumatic injuries caused by missing arms and legs. Therefore, ordinary things can not scare Baiku. Baiku saw that the boat caught the net with a single person.
Baiku felt a little strange. If a person died in the water, most of them would have to float on the surface of the water, so it was called a floating corpse. But the man who caught it seems to be calm under the water.
The boatman was shocked and felt very unlucky. They originally planned to take a rest after having dinner here at the river bay, and wait until tomorrow morning before going on the road. However, the boatman responded with such a corpse, so he had to leave in a hurry and definitely not stay here overnight.
Baiku didn't say anything, but felt that since the corpse was picked up, even if he didn't care, he had to get it ashore and leave it to family members to find it, or let the volunteers hired by the nearby squires transport the corpse to Xi Temple and Hanging Corpse Cliff.
Baiku knew that the boatman was afraid, so he dragged the body up without asking the boatman for help.
After all, he was a doctor. When he dragged the corpse up, he immediately realized that the man was actually not dead.
When I was talking about this, Baiku seemed to have intentionally stopped telling, and looked at me again, and it made me feel uneasy.
"Old man, what's going on behind?"
