Invincible Witch Doctor King

Chapter 23
"What is this?"

Ma Wei's eyes narrowed, and as soon as he pulled the knife down, he immediately found something oozing from the incision, and couldn't help but feel a little silly.

Xie Xian and Wang Shi were also taken aback, they also saw it.

"This... this... is mercury?"

Wang Shi reached out his hand and tapped the thing that had leaked out and flowed onto the table, and after looking carefully for a while, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"Yes, that's right, it's indeed mercury!"

Xie Xian nodded sharply after looking at it for a while, the thing oozing out from the wild ginseng is like silver water, and after oozing out, it will automatically form beads, and it will roll when you flick it with your hands. Is this not mercury?
This wild ginseng is stuffed with mercury?

Mercury, also known as mercury, is called mercury because it is liquid at room temperature and has a silvery color.

"No wonder! No wonder!"

Wang Shi smiled wryly and said: "Mercury is very heavy, about 16 to 18 times that of water, that is to say, water droplets and mercury of the same size, if water is one gram, mercury is 16-18 grams, this thing stuffed with wild ginseng It is very suitable for it - it is heavy, and at the same time, although it is metal, it is liquid, which is not easy to detect with ordinary metal detectors. I have heard people say that you can inject mercury into it with a syringe , Damn, there really is such a thing, I have learned a lot."

"let's go."

Song Ding stood up, he couldn't sit still, just now he attacked Zhao Tian wantonly, now the fact proves that Zhao Tian was right, how could he have the face to stay still.

Song Ding and Song Guo are gone, but who cares about them now?
Ma Wei's face was very ugly, but it was more of fear.

As a national doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, he knows that mercury can be used as medicine. For example, it can cure convulsions. Half a tael of mercury, one tael of raw southern star, and half a tael of musk. Grind it finely, add naphtha, mash it into a puree, and then make it into mung bean-sized balls. , when taking it, use mint soup to send it.In addition, it can also cure gallbladder heat, nosebleeds, head lice, etc., but it should be noted that mercury is poisonous, so be very careful. If it is not handled properly, it will not only fail to cure people, but also kill people.

The wild ginseng I found this time was used to hang my life——Xu Xiaojing's grandfather is seriously ill now, and he only has one breath left. He urgently needs old wild ginseng to hang his life.

Thinking about it made Ma Wei break out in a cold sweat, it was really terrible.

"Hello, little brother, my name is Ma Wei, I am really grateful this time, not only for ruining the old man's reputation, but more importantly, for saving a life!"

"I can't repay you. This is my business card. If you have the opportunity to come to Jiangdong City in the future, you must come to my house as a guest. Let me show you the kindness of a landlord."

Ma Wei arched his hand at Zhao Tian, ​​then took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Zhao Tian very carefully.

"This... old man, you are too polite."

Zhao Tian took the business card handed over by Ma Wei with both hands, "It's just a coincidence."

"Ma Wei? Are you Mr. Ma Wei?"

Wang Shi was taken aback. Others didn't know that Ma Wei had heard of him.

Ma Wei, one of the most famous Chinese medicine practitioners today, was already famous in Xinglin when he was in his forties 20 years ago, and he served the highest people many times. In the past ten or eight years, as he got older, As he grew older, his medical skills became more and more exquisite, but it was precisely because of this that he gradually faded out of the sight of ordinary people, and not many people had heard of him.

Wang Shi also just heard about Ma Wei from a rich man who stomped his feet and shook his ground in the real estate industry by chance. He clearly remembered that the man said that he entrusted many relationships and sold countless Even if he is willing to pay for talent, he can't hire a horse to see a doctor for himself.

Such a person has now carefully given his business card to Zhao Tian. If this matter gets out, it will definitely surprise many people.

Ma Wei shook his head, but said that he was not the person Wang Shi said.

Of course Wang Shi didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything more. He knew that Ma Wei didn't want too many people to know him, and if he persisted, it would only arouse the other party's disgust.

Ma Wei is the solution, but Zhao Tian can do it!
Wang Shi has already made up his mind to find an opportunity to build a good relationship with Zhao Tian in the future. Maybe he will be able to hire a horse if he has the opportunity in the future.Of course, this is just an idea, and the current occasion is not suitable.

Xu Xiaojing was stunned, happy and sad, the happy thing was that the problem was discovered - if Ma Wei used this kind of ginseng as medicine, instead of saving grandpa, it would poison him to death, sadly, the ginseng in front of him couldn't help it at all. It's hard to find another old mountain ginseng like this in a short time.

"Grandpa Ma, this ginseng... can't be used, right?"

Ma Wei shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Yes, this ginseng can no longer be used. It is filled with mercury. I don't know how long it will take. It is very likely that the whole ginseng will be polluted. It can no longer be used."

Xu Xiaojing was still hopeful at first, but when she heard what Ma Wei said, she was completely shattered. She was stunned for a while, then shook her head, turned around and walked downstairs.

Ma Wei was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately understood what Xu Xiaojing was thinking, nodded embarrassedly at Zhao Tian and the others, and followed behind to go out.

"Please stay."

Xie Xian hesitated for a moment, and suddenly spoke when Xu Xiaojing and Ma Wei were about to walk down the stairs.

"Oh? Thank you boss, what else is there?"

Xu Xiaojing stopped, but did not turn around.

"This...you are looking for wild ginseng, I don't know how many years old it is?"

Xie Xian looked at Xu Xiaojing and Ma Wei. A thought popped into his mind just now, and after a quick calculation, he made a decision immediately.

"Boss Xie, do you know where it is? Boss Xie, if you know where it is, please tell me, I... I am very grateful!"

Xu Xiaojing turned around abruptly, her face that had been calm all this time revealed a surprised expression, and her voice trembled at the end.

"This... depends on how old wild ginseng you want."

Xie Xian thought for a while and said, "How about the ones that are over 200 years old? If possible, I have them. However, the whole one is impossible. I only have half of them."

"Grandpa, you... didn't you keep the ginseng for yourself?"

Xie Manting was anxious when she heard that, there is indeed half a branch of wild ginseng at home, which was harvested ten years ago. Three years ago, Xie Xian had a serious illness and used up half of it - if it wasn't like this, he would probably have left .

So the remaining half of the ginseng is very important to the Xie family. Now that she heard that it was going to be sold, how could she agree?
Xie Xian waved his hand, pointed to Xu Xiaojing and said: "This girl seems to want this ginseng to save people. I don't need it for the time being, so let her. We guard this Wushan, and there is still a chance to receive such a gift again." Participate. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

Xie Manting originally wanted to say something, but seeing Xie Xian's serious expression, she stopped talking.

Xu Xiaojing didn't expect such a thing to happen, she was stunned, and it took her a while to realize that tears welled up in her eyes, "Thank you... thank you... thank you..."

Ma Wei was also overjoyed, and immediately said: "Great! It's really great! Although the year is not enough, I can add some other medicine and it will work."

"Hehehe."

Xie Xian smiled and said: "This is also fate. It is a good thing to be able to save someone's life."

"Thank you boss, I won't say anything else, the Xu family owes you a favor, and it will be rewarded in the future."

Xu Xiaojing and Ma Wei left soon, and she had to rush home.

Wang Shi also left, but before he left, he had a special conversation with Zhao Tian, ​​and even gave Zhao Tian his business card, saying that he must get in touch if he has the opportunity in the future.

Only Xie Xian, Xie Manting and Zhao Tian were left on the second floor.

"Zhao Tian, ​​come here, we two will have some tea."

Xie Xian waved at Zhao Tian, ​​and walked towards the tea table in the corner - besides the first floor, of course there is also a tea table on the second floor, this place is usually used to entertain good friends.

Knowing that Xie Xian must have something to say to himself, Zhao Tian nodded and followed.

"Man Ting, make some tea."

Xie Xian sat down and pointed to the tea set on the tea table.

"Hmph! This kid is the one who gained the most tonight, and now I need to serve him."

Xie Manting glared at Zhao Tian, ​​but obediently boiled water and made tea.

"This...isn't it like this, you are the one who gains the most, that's 300 million!"

Xu Xiaojing took away the half of Xie Xian's ginseng, but also left 300 million. At the same time, she also said that she would definitely find a chance to buy back a wild ginseng with enough years to send back in the next time.

Xie Manting frowned, and said, "That's the life-saving ginseng left by our family, and it won't be sold for any money."

"This... well, you are right."

Zhao Tian knows that this kind of wild ginseng, which is hundreds of years old, is indeed very difficult to find now—not to mention that it is more than 200 years old, even if it is more than 100 years old, it is very rare now, and anyone who encounters it will collect it. Get up, I won't take it out again later.

For example, one of the important reasons why Xu Xiaojing couldn't find the money was that she was short on time, and the other was that there would never be such a high vintage ginseng on the market. They were all in the hands of private collectors and could be bought. How many people who can afford such ginseng have no money?And this kind of ginseng is often reserved for emergency-hanging life, and will not be taken lightly.

Although Xie Xian's family specializes in buying medicinal materials, but now there are few of them, and I really don't know when I will meet them next time.

Xie Manting's "complaint" is also very reasonable.

However, what does this matter have to do with me?
This ginseng was brought out by Xie Xian on his own initiative, but Zhao Tian knew that he couldn't be serious with Xie Manting, otherwise it would be endless.

Women are often unreasonable!
