Chapter 10 The Pain of the Cones of the Heart for a Hundred Years
The breeze in the distance, with a gust of moisture, approached the sky of Gusu Water Township, the sun was soft, the water was flowing slowly, and one or two frogs called, calling the cooking smoke of the water town in the evening, like one or two green plums mixed in warm wine, turned into a quiet embellishment.
Further south of Miaojiang, there is a town surrounded by four hills and surrounded by water. The water is called Yuanhe, and the name of this town is also called Yuanhe Town after the water.
Although Yuanhe is called a town, in fact, there are hundreds of families. From the scale, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small city. The homes in this place were originally sergeants who settled in Miaozhai in the southern expedition. After more than ten years, they have fought in southern Xinjiang and gradually forgot the past and their hometown, and settled here. Over time, there has been a large scale.
There is a young man named Chen Mang. He is always good at chivalrousness and fights. He is the head of a group of young people here. When these people get together, they play, drink and fight have become their commonplace. When they disperse, it is difficult for the government to find their handle and manage them well. After all, these people It's just young people who are simple here and don't give them a chance to make big mistakes.
The reason why Chen Mang is famous is that on the one hand, it is related to the leader of a group of unscrupulous young people. On the other hand, there is also a rather legendary story. It turns out that he has caught a plague since he was a child, and all the people in his family, big and small, except his mother, died of illness. At that time, a wandering monk fell ill in his family, which made Chen Mang's mother be careful. Fortunately, he didn't die. When the monk recovered, he left a missing page of the sword score to Chen Mang, saying that he got this remnant book by chance, but he did not practice martial arts, but it was just right to leave it to Chen Mang. Later, when the monk left Chen Mang's house, he told him to teach day and night. Chen Mang followed his words and gradually had a strong body and outstanding body and outstanding. Swordsmanship.
At the beginning, Chen Mang only looked at the picture in the remnant sword spectrum. He drew a ladle and followed it with a clothes pole. After that, he recognized the words and understood the words written on the sword spectrum. It was "King Kong Moro Swordsmanship". He did not like to read. After studying in private school for a few days, he never went there after quarreling with Mr. Xi. I helped my mother do housework and learned this swordsmanship when I was free. When I was in my early 20s, I gradually achieved something. Unfortunately, this sword spectrum is finally a remnant, and there are only ten moves of the King Kong Moro sword listed...
At this time, in addition to his mother and Chen Mang, there was another person in the Chen family. He was originally a neighbor of Chen Mang's family. Instead, he was a partner who had been playing since childhood. Later, his parents died of illness. When Chen's mother saw his pity, she gritted her teeth and also took them at home.
Poor poor people at that time had to not only prepare for natural disasters, but also had to deal with heavy taxes. When there was an epidemic, or in the year of famine, ten households were nine empty, and the mountains in southern Xinjiang were high and the emperors were far away. The more such places were, the more rampant the corrupt officials became. They only cared about the deduction of disaster relief funds. Who careed about the smoke in the countryside, the people pulled each other except for helping the poor. There is really no way to struggle to survive.
Chen's mother thought that her family was also poor. No matter how many people there was, she took in Cheng Cai, and the latter was also competitive. She usually studied very hard. After being admitted as a student, she was more diligent, or it was possible to go to the state capital to study as Gongsheng, but it was a good future.
Although Chen Mang was a nerd, he said that he was reading while selling vegetables at a stall. When he was fascinated, he couldn't even see the vegetables stolen, but inside, he was still proud of this brother and was deeply happy. Chen's mother worked hard to pull them up. It seems that the days are gradually getting out of hardship. As long as there is no man-made disaster, it will be a bright day. It seems that the good days in the future have been captured by this miserable family.
However, people say what they are afraid of. In the year when Chengcai chose to be Gongsheng, there was a sudden earthquake in the area of the Yuanhe River. One day, the mountains shook and cracked thousands of miles of soil. The thick blood-like lava kept gushing out, and with the lava, there was also the boundless turfth hidden thousands of miles under the ground. It turned out that a family had offended a certain seedling. When the Miao people harmed people, they caught up with the natural disaster, which caused thousands of miles of underground pollution and disturbed the world. Then they saw that this filth gas gushed out of the mouth of fission of the earth, circling and overturned, and disappeared into the Yuanhe River around Yuanhe Town.
The water of the source river is usually available for people to live. It is invaded by filth. It looks quite ordinary, but there are changes inside. After the earthquake, every household who drinks the source river water can't help but have some abnormal symptoms.
Some people vomited and overturned the river and vomited all their internal organs together. Others had diarrhea more than ten times a day and pulled them straight to collapse. Some weak people gradually couldn't stand it and died because of it.
At that time, there was a well-known pharmacy in Yuanhe, called Shanshifang. The doctor's surname is Liu. At the age of 50, he was good at the age of 50. He was always good and often righteous, and was called a living Bodhisattva by the local people.
This Dr. Liu was famous for his doctor and rich because of his name. He bought a big house, which is also a local rich man. There is also some connection between him and Chen Mang, that is, he has an only daughter, who is regarded as the pearl in his palm, but suddenly recognized Chen Mang when he worshipped Buddha's incense one day. Somehow, he was attracted by his jade posture. Jinghong glanced and was attracted by his restrained temperament. Finally, he opened his heart with his light and beautiful words. It turned out that Lang Youqing and his concubine were interested in love with each other.
After Dr. Liu knew about this, he was furious and forced Chen Mang to lead a group of idle young people here. He could not attack, but he still beat the mandarin ducks and easily married Miss Liu out of town.
On the day Miss Liu got married, Chen Mang held a sword and stood on the side of the road that must pass by the sedan chair with a group of unscrupulous teenagers. Chen Mang stared at the sedan chair Miss Liu was riding with a good look, and did not pay attention to the more than a dozen servants sent by the county government, only if Miss Liu was willing to do it. The sedan chair, which is the Longtan tiger's den, also wants to take the Yi people away. From then on, he will not hesitate to wander around the ends of the earth.
However, Miss Liu somehow did not lift the curtain of the sedan chair. Chen Mang had no expression on his face, but he was in infinite disappointment. He looked at the sedan chair getting farther and farther and gradually disappeared in front of him.
He still remembers that day, Miss Liu had already gone. At the end of his sight, the suona that greeted his relatives and the music played were still jumping happily. Chen Mang held his sword. No matter how much everyone advised him, he didn't say anything, just like a stone fixed on the spot, standing against the wind, silent and without tears. He knew in his heart that After that, the two fell into the sky, and there was no possibility of meeting each other.
How could he not complain about this matter? His mother had a small problem. At that time, he did not want to go to the Shanshi Hall for medical treatment and medicine. However, after the outbreak of the epidemic, Cheng Cai somehow contracted the epidemic. He vomited for days, and it was difficult to get in. Chen's mother saw She vomited until her hands and feet floated, and even her cheeks shrank around. She was heartbroken, so she called Chen Mang to ask Dr. Liu for a dose of medicine anyway to survive.
When Chen Mang saw Cheng Cai's appearance, he had no matter how much he disliked Dr. Liu, and he had to bravely ask for medicine. At this time, Dr. Liu was worried about the epidemic. Under careful observation, he was developing two doses of black and white medicine for the disease. Among them, the black pill treated diarrhea, while vomiting, but Bai Wan is coming to save it.
Under Dr. Liu's wonderful hand, these two doses of medicine have been taken to eliminate the disease, but this medicine cannot be given at will, because the materials for refining these black and white pills are quite precious. Even rich people like Dr. Liu can't afford to consume them. After all, Shanshitang also opened the door to do business and raised another family. So those who obtained this medicine at the first time were still the kind of people who were non-officials or businessmen.
Chen's mother cooked some ordinary soup for Cheng Cai, which could not prevent his illness from worsening. Cheng Cai vomited badly. Chen Mang was worried and had to go to the Shanshi Hall and knocked on the door to beg Dr. Liu to give pills. This is an unnegotiable thing, but somehow Dr. Liu heard Chen Mang kneeling in front of him. After talking about Cheng Cai's situation, he thought about it for a while and gave him a penniless dose of white pills.
Maybe after Miss Liu got married, she was even more unhappy. Dr. Liu thought about this and thought about it. Or when he saw Chen's mother assisting the orphan next door in danger, Chen Mang resisted his humiliation for his friend to ask for medicinal herbs, which aroused his righteous heart. Anyway, Chen Mang actually took Bai Wan when he went there. Arrived.
It is said to be a pill, but it is actually a potion. It is carefully packed in a silver bottle with a small finger thickness and length, which is also very precious.
Chen Mang took the medicine and was excited. He ran home excitedly and called Cheng to come over. He carefully took this dose of white pill. Sure enough, when the medicine arrived, Cheng coughed a few times and spit out some black water/things. After a moment, he was much more energetic.
Seeing that he was better, Chen's mother was also happy. She cooked soup noodles early, sprinkled eggs, and fed him a steaming bowl. However, when everyone felt that Cheng had recovered and was as good as before, that afternoon, the change came out again.
I don't know why, when I was next to **, I felt a sudden stomachache, and it seemed that there were thousands of teeth, biting together in the depths of the organs. He was so painful that his whole body sweated, and even the mattress was wet. Chen's mother was shocked and hurriedly called Chen Kai, who was teaching people to practice swords outside. When the latter rushed home, he saw Cheng Cai Struggling in **, his face became particularly ferocious at this time, and his hands were pressing his stomach tightly.
When Chen Mang looked at it, Cheng Cai's stomach bulged high, like a bulging ball. The meridians on the skin were bursting, and the skin was blood-colored transparent, as if it was about to burst. When Chen Mang called him to speak, Cheng Cai only cried for a stomachache. Chen Mang stamped his feet anxiously, touched his head, and suddenly shouted, "Oh, Dr. Liu must have taken the wrong one. Medicine, Chengcai, you put up with it, and I'll ask him for the black pill that specializes in treating stomachache!"
