Chapter 1 The Five Poison Leaders(2/3)
"Hey!" Xu Changshan replied loudly.
"Chunliang, grandpa promises you that he will not force you to study medicine. You can do whatever you want in the future. Come home with me, okay?"
Xu Chunliang looked around. There were more and more people watching, and armored chariots with flashing red and blue lights were roaring towards them. Once they arrived, they were in peace. Before the nine major sects noticed, it was better to leave here before making plans.
So he nodded and said: "Okay!"
Huichun Tang, located on Shundi Road, is a time-honored medical center in Dongzhou. According to Xu Changshan, this plaque was given by Emperor Yongzheng, and the ancestors of the Xu family once served as court physicians.
However, Lao Feng from the woodwork factory had another theory about the plaque. The plaque was made by his father. The reason why he remembers it so deeply is because he started to read in Huichun Hall when he wore crotchless pants. He saw the plaque with his own eyes.
The whole process of production.
No matter what, there is no doubt that Huichun Tang has a long history, and Xu Changshan's medical skills are also well-known, especially in the treatment of bone injuries, the ancestral plaster is extremely effective.
However, after the 1990s, the recognition of traditional Chinese medicine in society has plummeted, and the living space has been shrinking. It is an indisputable fact that the west wind prevails over the east wind in medical ethics.
Under such an environment, the business of Huichun Hall has naturally been affected. The younger generation is visiting less and less. In addition, Xu Changshan is old and bone-setting massage requires physical strength, so his physical limitations have to be reduced.
this aspect of business.
With Xu Changshan's reputation, there are not a few people who come to him as his disciples. However, Xu Changshan is conservative in teaching and adheres to the principle of passing down his education to sons rather than daughters. The only one he can count on is his grandson Xu Chunliang. If his grandson refuses to learn, the Xu family's medical skills will only be passed down.
Neng was lost, and Xu Changshan was worried because of this, fearing that he would not be able to face his ancestors.
Xu Chunliang has been withdrawn and taciturn since he was a child. According to current reports, he has a very serious social phobia. His academic performance is not very good, and he has no special skills. According to the school teachers, this kid has difficulty concentrating.
My mind is not on study at all, I am not sociable, and I have few friends.
If Xu Chunliang hadn't insisted on it, Xu Changshan would not have let him repeat the college entrance examination three times. His college entrance examination scores were lower each time. This time, his total score did not even pass 400. Even private undergraduate courses were out of reach for him. With his
It was completely possible to choose to go abroad, but Xu Chunliang refused to go, so Xu Changshan had no choice but to give up.
Xu Changshan does not value academic qualifications. He himself has no academic qualifications, but this does not prevent his medical skills from being recognized. Chinese medical skills are extensive and profound, and they study the way of heaven and man. How can Western medicine be compared? Five thousand years of Chinese medicine are basically
They are all inheritance methods of masters leading disciples, which is enough to prove that this method is in line with the national conditions.
Lu Qi drove the two men to the Huichun Hall. On the way, he learned that Xu Cong's ID card was lost. He asked Xu Cong to go to the branch to get a replacement as soon as possible. He also gave him a few words by the way. The college entrance examination results did not mean everything, and he did not participate in it.
After passing the college entrance examination, now you are not serving the people with an iron rice bowl?
Xu Changshan looked at his grandson, who was only wearing a pair of underpants and said nothing, with love and pity in his heart. Xu Chunliang was only three months old, and his parents broke up. They threw the child towards him, and one of them flew away.
The United States went to Europe alone. Soon, each had its own family and its own children. No one would remember that this child existed in the country until the holidays.
Xu Changshan believes that his grandson's misfortune is largely caused by his parents. Of course, he is also responsible. Over the years, he has been busy curing diseases and saving people, neglecting his grandson's education. Looking back, this child was still very smart when he was five years old.
He already had a clear understanding of the herbal medicines in the store. At the age of six, he could memorize the eight extraordinary meridians and 362 acupoints of the human body.
It was just that his temperament suddenly changed after he went to school. Xu Changshan still clearly remembers that one day he came back from school crying and asked himself, why didn't he when others were picked up and dropped off by their parents? From that time on, he began to become taciturn.
, less and less interested in communicating with the outside world.
The police car stopped at the entrance of Huichun Hall. Lu Qi got out of the car immediately and helped open the door. Mr. Xu walked out tremblingly. Lu Qi supported his arm considerately.
Xu Chunliang then left the car and said, "I'll do it!" He took the initiative to help his grandfather.
Seeing his actions, Lu Qi felt relieved a little. It was impossible for a person who didn't care about his own life to care about others. Various signs showed that Xu Chunliang had given up the idea of committing suicide.
Xu Changshan reminded his grandson: "Be careful where you step, don't get hurt." Xu Chunliang is still barefoot.
"Look, your grandpa cares about you so much." Lu Qi smiled at Xu Chunliang.
Xu Changshan was about to tell his grandson to invite Lu Qi to come in and have a cup of tea. Before he could say anything, Xu Chunliang said: "Brother Lu, I really worked hard for you just now. If you don't mind, please move to my humble house and prepare some wine.
Let’s have a drink and talk with Brother Lu.”
Mr. Xu was confused. What aroused my grandson? He had never seen him talking to anyone like this in the past.
After all, Lu Qixin comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. He speaks like classical Chinese. Such a young man is out of touch with the times. He smiled and said: "Some other time, I'm still on duty. You can't park for too long at the door. Come in quickly and take care of me."
Good old man, don’t let me worry anymore."
Xu Chunliang thought to himself, he is really a righteous man! This person is worthy of friendship!
He hugged Lu Qi's fists and, without saying much, helped his grandfather into the Huichun Hall.
Lu Qi watched them enter and then drove away.
Huichun Hall is a simple two-story building. There is a clinic downstairs and the upstairs is where the two men live. There is a middle-aged woman named Lin in the store. She usually cleans the store and helps with cooking. As for taking medicine,
The same goes for seeing a doctor.
The reason why Xu Changshan hired her was because she didn't know medical skills. How could the ancestral medical skills be allowed to be prying into at will.
Xu Changshan was worried that his grandson would commit suicide again, so he followed his grandson back to his room and asked him to take a shower and change clothes.
Xu Chunliang has preserved complete memories of his past life. In comparison, his consciousness in this life is somewhat fragmented. Xu Chunliang quickly absorbs useful information from these fragments. He should not blame others or give up on himself at any time or under any circumstances.
Standing naked in front of the bathroom mirror, I found that my appearance had not changed much from before, except that I was fairer, thinner, and my hair was much shorter. In this world, most men's hairstyles are like this.
The bathroom is small and there is no bathtub in the small space.
Xu Chunliang was surprised, but he soon discovered useful information from his memory. The lotus-shaped iron object above his head should be that. He touched it with his hand, but the texture was not metal.
Open the valve carefully, and more than a hundred water lines pour down.
Xu Chunliang was taken aback and took a step back. He was still splashed by the hot water, and his reflexes and movement speed dropped significantly.
The valve was closed and opened again, and the water line stopped and opened accordingly. The mechanism was extremely clever, and soon it was discovered that the valve could rotate left and right. The water flow became hotter when it was turned left, and the water became colder when it was turned right. It was an ingenious thing.
Xu Chunliang opened and closed it repeatedly and played with it. After a long time, he started to take a bath, washing away the rain stains all over his body and the blood of his previous life. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the washing and cleansing of the warm water.
A colorful centipede about an inch long swam quickly along the wall behind Xu Chunliang, and came to his heels close to the ground. When he was about to launch an attack, he grabbed the centipede with one hand, but it was Xu Chunliang.
This little bug was discovered just in time.
The centipede struggled and twisted between his fingers, but did not dare to attack. Xu Chunliang stared at the centipede, his eyes blazing, opened his mouth, and swallowed the centipede in one gulp.
While Xu Chunliang was bathing, the old man was always waiting outside. After waiting for half an hour, Xu Chunliang washed himself from head to toe before changing into clothes and walking out.
Looking at his refreshed grandson, Xu Changshan breathed a sigh of relief. The basis of traditional Chinese medicine is looking, hearing, asking, and understanding. His decades of medical practice have given the old man a pair of sharp eyes.
After experiencing this incident, my precious grandson has become full of energy and has obviously changed completely. He cannot be broken or established. This setback is a rare experience for him and may help him re-examine the world.
At this time, Lin's mother had prepared dinner and invited the two of them to eat.
A centipede simply couldn't satisfy the hungry Xu Chunliang, who was already craving for delicious food. Despite this, Xu Chunliang still did not forget the etiquette. He served his grandfather the rice first and acted with due courtesy.
Xu Changshan had no appetite, so he smiled and said, "I won't eat it. I'll just watch you eat it."
Xu Chunliang nodded, went to make another cup of tea for his grandfather, and then sat back at the dining table to eat.
Xu Changshan held the teacup and looked at his grandson devouring the food with a smile. He felt a little comfort in his heart. It was a blessing in disguise. Chunliang has obviously become more sensible. In the past, let alone serving me a meal, he didn't even bother to say a word.
Who among the elders in the world doesn’t want their descendants to succeed, but talents and talents are different, and the grandson is not a material for learning, and you cannot force him. But he does not want to inherit his own mantle. He cannot just stay at home at such a young age?
Wouldn't it mean that he has cut off contact with society, and he will only become more and more withdrawn in the future?
With this in mind, Xu Changshan fell into deep thought. Before he thought about it, he was interrupted by the visitor's voice.
"Is Uncle Xu here?"
The visitor is Gao Xinhua, the deputy director of Changxing Hospital. Recently, he has been visiting Huichun Hall frequently. The purpose is not to seek medical treatment, because Changxing Hospital is right next door to Huichun Hall. The second phase of the hospital's plan includes Huichun Hall and other shanty towns.
When it came to the relocation scope, other residents basically agreed, but Huichun Hall was the most difficult to convince because Xu Changshan was highly respected in the area. As long as he agreed, the relocation problem would be solved naturally.
The hospital also offered generous conditions, including cash compensation, a cooperative Chinese medicine expert clinic for Xu Changshan within the hospital, and the option of finding a new location to reopen the Huichun Hall.
But the old man accepted his death and refused to move the house no matter what. He also took out a sign with an intangible cultural heritage sign and declared that no one would allow Huichun Hall to move unless he died.
Because his father and Xu Changshan were close friends, Gao Xinhua could still speak well, so the task of persuading Xu Changshan fell on him. For this matter, he ran from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, and from winter to summer. But Mr. Xu
His attitude has not changed at all.
The reason why Gao Xinhua came here today is because he heard about Xu Chunliang's attempted suicide in the river. There are no secrets to keep in the information society.
When Xu Changshan saw it was him, he immediately became serious: "I've told you so many times that we don't need to talk about the demolition."
Gao Xinhua said with a smile on his face: "Uncle, I'm not here today for official business, I just stopped by to see you and Xiao Cong." While speaking, he glanced at Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang was immersed in the bowl of braised pork. It was so delicious! He was so hungry that he couldn't care about etiquette.
Xu Changshan didn't want his grandson to hear their conversation, so he stood up and walked out. Gao Xinhua followed him out before he could sit down. When he came to the door, he hurriedly took out his cigarette and handed it over respectfully.
Xu Changshan took the cigarette, and Gao Xinhua respectfully lit it for him. Then he lit one. Neither of them spoke, and they took a few puffs of cigarettes. Gao Xinhua looked at the busy road and said, "Municipal Planning
, the road will be built here next year.”
Xu Changshan took a drag on his cigarette, glanced at him sideways and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush with me."
"Uncle, let me tell you straight away, the subway is going to be built here. You should also know that according to the plan, it will definitely not be completed within three to five years."
“It’s not like the subway passes by Huichuntang.”
"It will affect your business. As soon as construction starts, the door will be blocked. Maybe the road will be closed from the north intersection. No business can withstand such a long period of trouble."
"Dean Gao, are you finished?" Xu Changshan was already impatient. He pointed to the road at the door and signaled Gao Xinhua to leave after he finished speaking.
Gao Xinhua laughed and said: "Don't worry, I found Xu Cong on my mobile phone today, and the college entrance examination results are out? How did you do in the exam?"
Xu Changshan threw half of the cigarette to the ground and stepped on it with his round-mouthed cloth shoes. His unruffled eyes made Gao Xinhua tremble from the bottom of his heart.
"Why don't you open any pot? It's not as good as your daughter, Shuimu, a talented student, who makes you laugh."
