The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 526 Goodbye Polygraph

Daqingshan, the land of Qingxiu.

In the first half of the year, there was a master named Baolitu who could touch bones and treat diseases.In the past six months, many patients with bone dislocation and bruises have been treated, and there is an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment.

Master Baolitu opens the clinic every afternoon and goes to the mountains to collect herbs in the morning.Don't look at him with a burly physique like a barbarian, but his solemn Dharma looks like a living Buddha. Wearing a big red lama robe on his body, he looks like an eminent monk.

When he treats bones, he just touches them, and the place where his hands touch is warm, and he enjoys the warmth without feeling any pain.It is especially good at treating herniated discs in the lumbar area. Many people were carried up and walked down the mountain by themselves.

His medical skills made the monastery receive a lot of donations, so the pilgrim guest rooms were expanded from the previous twenty to thirty.The kitchen has also become larger, with a complete set of utensils and a cold dish room, which is a bit like a restaurant kitchen.

Master Baolitu also likes to cook food in addition to touching bones to treat diseases, which has something to do with his work in a restaurant.Cooking used to be the main job, but now it is a side job and has become a hobby.

This morning, Baolitu did not go to the mountain to collect herbs, but stood neatly dressed on the parking lot in front of the monastery, waiting for Lao Tan's arrival.

Near noon, a black off-road mountain climbed up the steep slope in front of the temple and stopped in front of Baolitu.

The bald old Tan came down first, followed by the elder brother and sister-in-law, followed by a lady—Su Yaqiqige.

Su Yaqiqige took a few steps forward, seeing her younger brother in lama robes, her eyes were filled with tears.

Baolitu didn't expect his sister to come, he was excited at the moment, from the moment he saw his sister, he lost his dignity and became a mortal, a younger brother who relied on his sister.

"Sister——" Baolitu called "Sister" in Mongolian, followed by a sore nose and a layer of water vapor in his eyes.

"Hey—" Su Ya replied, tears streaming down her face involuntarily, with a smile on her face.

Baolitu's burly body knelt down, put his arms around his sister's waist, buried his head on his sister's chest, and cried like a child.

Su Ya wept and stroked her brother's head. She was both happy and distressed, and was moved by his sensibility.

The siblings talked cordially for a while in Mongolian, and then wiped away their tears with smiles on their faces.

The older sister is happy, the younger brother is happy.

Bao Litu turned around and greeted Lao Tan cordially with clasped hands. Lao Tan introduced his elder brother and sister-in-law, and the group entered the pilgrimage courtyard together.

After arranging the residence of the eldest brother and his wife, Lao Tan led the two of them to get acquainted with each other in the temple, and Bao Litu led his sister Su Ya to his meditation room.

It was late autumn, and the entire Daqing Mountain was immersed in gold and orange, and the mountain scenery was full of intoxicating autumn.

Yellow leaves have fallen in the temple, but a few ancient pines are still green, strong and straight.

Some pilgrims offered incense in the hall, knelt down and kowtowed devoutly, whispering in their mouths, praying for their inner prayers.

Lao Tan, whom he knew among the lamas, came forward to say hello and told the old lama that he was in retreat and would leave in three days.

The temple was originally small, and it was quickly completed.

It seemed that the eldest brother was in a good mood, standing outside the gate of the temple, he said with satisfaction: "This place is good, it is a temple, but I think it looks like a farmyard in the mountains, comfortable and comfortable."

The sister-in-law said: "What are you talking about, don't let people listen to you."

Old Tan smiled and said: "It's okay, there are no taboos here, and it really looks like a farmyard." Then he pointed to the mountain behind and said: "See, there is firewood on the mountain, and those who don't know how to cook are responsible for going up the mountain to collect it.

There are baskets in the pilgrim courtyard, and I get up in the morning and carry them up the mountain. The air on the mountain is good, and there is a natural oxygen bar. Picking up firewood is used as exercise. "

"Are there wolves?" My sister-in-law asked worriedly looking at the continuous mountains.

"Yes, but don't be afraid, it won't attack people if you don't mess with it. Besides, the wolf is in the back mountain, not the front mountain." Old Tan said.

"That's okay—"

"I won't take you two up the mountain. Baolitu will take you there tomorrow." Old Tan then turned around and pointed in the direction of Donggou and said, "There is Donggou over there. There are springs in the ditch. Pick and go. It takes more than two miles to go back and forth."

The sister-in-law said: "I see that there is an organic well in the pilgrim courtyard."

"Yes, but the water is not as good as that in Donggou, so we all go there to pick it up." Old Tan said.

"Go and have a look." The eldest brother became interested.

"Can it work? I've been on the bus all morning, so don't get tired." Old Tan said with concern.

"Okay, it's okay. I'm not tired from the car, so go and have a look." The elder brother insisted.

The sister-in-law said: "Don't go, wait for tomorrow, there is plenty of time, and we don't want to leave right away."

"I think so, and it's time for dinner at noon, let's eat first." Old Tan said.

The three of them returned to the pilgrim courtyard, and Bao Litu was already waiting in the courtyard, he had come to ask Lao Tan and the others to have dinner in his meditation room.

Baolitu's meditation room is next to the pilgrim courtyard, with two rooms inside and outside.The back room is the living room, which is very simple, with a bed, a table and a stool, and a few daily necessities.The outer room is a treatment room, with a table and a bed, and a medicine shelf against the wall, and the room is filled with medicine fragrance.

There are four dishes and a small pot of rice on the table, which are delicious.

"When did you learn how to touch bones?" Old Tan asked Baolitu while eating.

Bao Litu said: "I don't know either, it seems like I did it when I was a child."

"He learned it from my dad. My dad understands it. When we gacha, anyone who has a broken arm or leg is treated by my dad.

I remember that he has never been bone grafted or healed, but sometimes he rubs a sprained ankle, and it heals without swelling. " Su Ya said.

Old Tan smiled at Baolitu, "You are self-taught."

Baolitu smiled foolishly.

Lao Tan said to his eldest brother and sister-in-law: "Baolitu has a predestined relationship with Buddha. He came here to see me at the beginning of the year. He became enlightened here, just like a living Buddha in his previous life. The old lama in the temple fell in love with him. When I left, he called I left him, hehe, no, he has become a well-known master."

The eldest brother said: "It was a chance meeting, I think he is a Buddha, and he should be here."

Lao Tan said: "Some people practice Buddhism for a lifetime but they have no predestined relationship. They have their own predestined relationship from past and present lives."

Su Ya said leisurely: "I don't want him to be like this, it's best to go back and find a wife—"

Old Tan said: "Many things are predestined, and it's not a bad thing for Baolitu to be here. Your sister hopes that he will marry a wife and have children, and start a family. But his destiny is to save all sentient beings in the monastery, and heal the world with medical skills. Getting people out of suffering and gaining happiness is both practice and merit, so you should be happy."

"I'm glad to see him like this—but I can't help myself," said Suya.

"Sister, don't be sad, Changshengtian asked me to do this, I am willing." Baolitu said.

"Well, sister knows—"

The sister-in-law on the side couldn't help asking: "Well, that, that Master Bao, do you think his disease can be cured?" After speaking, she looked at the elder brother beside her.

Baolitu smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I can't cure this benefactor's disease, but I can massage him once a day to dredge the meridians, strengthen Qi and blood, and improve his physique."

The sister-in-law looked pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said, "Thank you so much."

"No thanks." Baolitu nodded.

The eldest brother was also very pleasantly surprised, and said to Baolitu, "Thank you, thank you."

Su Ya was also happy to hear what her younger brother said, and said, "If you have the ability, let Master Tan do the same."

Bao Litu looked at Old Tan and said peacefully: "Master has something on his mind, I can't stand this time, wait until next time."

"Huh—" Old Tan asked in surprise, "How do you know I can't stand?"

"You didn't save a room for yourself," said Baolitu.

Lao Tan was still very surprised. He didn't expect Baolitu to judge that he couldn't stand up through this detail.

I can't help but sigh in my heart - I really don't know when people will be successful.
