Chapter 236 Red Umbrella with White Pole
Old man Xin was holding the big jar of wine with his eyes shining, and he was almost drooling all over the floor.
Afterwards, he checked the medicinal materials sent by Wang Jin, and seeing that there was no problem, he waved his hand and sent him away.
"Okay, okay, go ahead. Come back in three days to get the medicine."
At this time, Song Ning had already started preparing dinner. She politely tried to ask Wang Jin to stay, but he refused on the grounds that he was worried about his mother being alone at home.
As soon as Wang Jin left, Yangyang came out holding a little rabbit. It was not that he was fickle and no longer wanted to hold the kitten after getting the rabbit, but the cat was a little bigger now and too active to be held.
"Grandpa, is the grandma who came today sick?"
"Ah! Yes!"
"Will she die?"
Uh, how should he answer? Discussing life and death with such a young child...
It was rare for a child to ask such a question, so Old Man Xin took the opportunity to test it out and pulled Yangyang over. "Come, come, Yangyang, come here. Grandpa wants to ask you, do you want to learn medicine from Grandpa?"
Yang Yang tilted his head and thought about it. Studying medicine means becoming a doctor, right? Doctors seem to be very good. "If I learn it, will I never get sick again?"
He knew that being sick was very uncomfortable. If he knew how to cure illness, he wouldn't get sick, right?
Hang Shuheng was listening on the side. After seeing the ability of old man Xin, he did not object to letting Yangyang learn medicine from him. He even helped to explain, "Yangyang, everyone will get sick. Even doctors will get sick sometimes. However, doctors can treat diseases and prevent them in advance, so as not to get sick as much as possible."
His explanation was very straightforward, making it easy for the child to understand. Old Man Xin agreed, "Your father is right. If you learn medical skills, you can treat people around you when they get sick in the future. But if you don't know anything, you won't be able to help them if they get sick."
Yangyang looked at his father, then thought about his mother, and thought seriously about what to do if his father and mother got sick in the future and there was no one to treat them.
"I don't want Daddy and Mommy to get sick. It's very painful to be sick."
"Then do you want to learn from Grandpa?" In order to make the child interested in this, Old Man Xin picked out two herbs from the pile of herbs. "Grandpa tells you, learning medicine is an interesting thing. Take a look at these two herbs."
He held a medicinal herb in each hand. "This one is poisonous. If you eat it, you will have a stomachache. This one is also poisonous. If you eat it, you will vomit. But if you take these two herbs together, you will be fine."
Putting the two herbs down, he found two more and said, "Look at these two. This one can cure toothache and sore throat, and this one can cure vomiting and diarrhea. But if you take these two herbs together, you will get poisoned. How about that? Isn't it amazing?"
Yangyang listened with great interest and nodded repeatedly, "It's amazing. It would be terrible if we eat the wrong food."
"That's right! So, you must recognize the herbs carefully and don't take the wrong ones next time."
"Ok!"
Old Man Xin performed a magic trick and suddenly a silver needle appeared in his hand. "Look, what is this?"
"Hey! Great Grandpa, how did you do it?" Yangyang grabbed Old Man Xin's hand in surprise and looked left and right, but couldn't find where he hid the needle.
"Hey, stop looking. If you find it, my job will be ruined. Haha!" Old man Xin held the silver needle and handed it to him: "Here, take this needle, hold it steady, and don't move!"
Yangyang took the silver needle and held it between his thumb and index finger, holding it steadily without any shake.
"Close your eyes."
Yangyang did as he was told. Even with his eyes closed, his hand holding the needle did not shake. Old Man Xin nodded with satisfaction and secretly boasted about his good taste.
His hands are so steady at such a young age, what a promising young talent! As early as when he saw Yangyang holding the pen very steadily while painting, he already knew that this child's talent was definitely beyond imagination.
"Okay, that's enough." Old Man Xin took the silver needle back from Yang Yang's hand and suddenly wanted to tease him, "Do you think it would hurt if this needle pierced you?"
As he said this, he pretended to prick him, and Yangyang was so scared that he ran away. Anyone who didn't run was a fool, because of course it would hurt if he was pricked by such a long needle.
Old man Xin was getting playful, so he chased him with the silver needle in his hand, "Be good, come and let Grandpa give you a prick, I guarantee it won't hurt."
"no no no."
Yangyang ran to hide behind Hang Shuheng, and when he saw him coming over with the silver needle, he ran into the kitchen to find Song Ning. Only then did Old Man Xin happily give up.
"Yangyang is a good candidate for acupuncture." Old man Xin sat back on the stool and spoke to Hang Shuheng in a serious tone.
Hang Shuheng finally understood that the old man was testing the child's potential. He didn't object to Yangyang learning these things, but he still had to say something ugly in advance.
"If you are willing to teach, Yangyang can learn from you, but I still say the same thing. If you want to take him away, you can't."
Old Man Xin snorted unhappily, "Short-sighted, humph!"
He turned his head away and didn't want to see this bad boy. In this world, all the people who wanted to be favored by this Poison Lord could line up here from the capital, but this boy was even worse. He was afraid that he would kidnap his son. He had to think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
He couldn't stay here for too long, otherwise if all the villages knew that there was an old miracle doctor here, those who had been looking for him secretly would definitely find him here, which would be really worrying.
Next, for three consecutive days, Old Man Xin would take Yangyang up the mountain to collect herbs. He would use his experience to teach him how to identify herbs and tell him the effects of the herbs.
When encountering a difficult road in the mountains, Old Man Xin would pick up Yangyang and use his Qinggong skills to shuttle through the mountains and forests. At that moment, Yangyang was completely conquered and insisted on learning Kungfu for fun.
Naturally, there was no reason for Old Man Xin to refuse. This was the child he had his eyes on and wanted to take him in as his successor. How could the future master of the Poison King Valley not know kung fu?
When we went down the mountain, we would shoot two pheasants and pick some wild vegetables every day, which made the little guy very happy.
Not only did it improve the family's food and save a small amount of expenses, but I almost didn't need to spend money to buy meat and vegetables these days.
When they went down the mountain today, the old man and the child actually brought back a basket of mushrooms. As soon as they entered the yard, Yangyang ran to Song Ning and told him about what he had encountered in the mountains.
"Mother, mother, let me tell you, we saw red umbrellas on the mountain today."
"Red umbrellas?" Song Ning didn't react at first, but then he understood when he saw the small backpacks they carried back were full of mushrooms.
"Mom, my great grandfather said that these are not poisonous! These are not red umbrellas, so you don't have to lie down after eating them."
Lying on the board... Song Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Yangyang, do you still know how to sing Red Umbrella and White Rod?"
"I know, I know!" He began to sing, "Red umbrellas and white poles, after dinner we lie down together, lie down and sleep in coffins, then bury the mountain together, bury the mountain and cry, the whole village comes to eat, there are umbrellas for dinner, the whole village lies down together..."
