Seeing several people staring at him with wide-eyed eyes, Uncle Gu stretched out his hand to pick up a cup of tea on the bedside, drank a few gulps, took a breath, cleared his throat again, and said slowly: "When I was 23 years old, One summer night, I was so hungry that I didn’t have half a grain of rice in my stomach. I couldn’t find anything to eat, so I sneaked up the mountain to look for it.

At that time, everyone was very hungry, and they all went to the mountains to look for food, and almost all the food on the mountain was found.The moonlight was very bright that night. Taking advantage of the flickering moonlight, I went to the cliff in one go and picked a few clumps of wild fruits.Immediately sat there and chewed.

At this moment, a groan was faintly heard.I thought there was a ghost.He clenched the hatchet in his hand and looked around boldly, but he could still hear moaning, but saw no one. "

Guo Zisu and Liang Shi looked at each other, remembering how they rescued Mr. Gu that night.

Uncle Bone also looked at them lovingly, and continued: "I asked loudly who it was and where it was humming and chirping? The voice raised a little bit, and told me it was at the bottom of the cliff.

At that time, there were many kinds of miscellaneous trees on the cliff, countless weeds and ancient vines, which were entwined and pulled each other to the bottom of the cliff.

I didn't think much about it, so I pulled the branches and ancient vines on the cliff and explored all the way down.

Lying at the bottom of the cliff and moaning is an old Chinese doctor who often comes here to collect medicine.According to him, a powerful person in his locality wanted to grow taller, so he asked him to pick long grass.He slept in the open, walked through several high mountains, and finally found it under the cliff.Just as he was gathering the medicine and was about to climb up the cliff, he accidentally fell down and broke his leg.

I carried him home and applied medicine to heal his injuries according to his instructions.He wrote another letter asking someone from his family to pick him up.

But I don't know if his family didn't receive the letter, or because of other reasons, his family didn't come.

He can't move, and he relies on eating things I secretly dug and picked from outside to satisfy his hunger, not to mention nourishing, it is difficult to fill his stomach, and the injury heals very slowly.

He lived in my house for several months, depended on me for life, and taught me a lot of medical skills. "

Guo Zisu listened, glanced at Liang Shi, remembered that Uncle Gu had mentioned the word "karma" to her many times, and taught Liang Shi the art of bone setting carefully, and seemed to understand something, so he couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

Uncle Gu also seemed to understand what she was thinking, and looked at her with loving and trusting eyes, and there seemed to be a lot of content in his eyes.

He took another sip of tea and continued his narration in a low and hoarse voice: "Afterwards he was able to walk around on the ground with a stick, so he insisted on not staying any longer and went home.

A short time later I received a package from him, in which he had sent me some books and his notebook, with orders not to answer my letters, or to let anyone know that he had taught me the art of setting bones.

I was young at the time, and thought he didn't want others to know that he had such a useless apprentice as me.I really didn't reply to him, but secretly worked hard, carefully studied the things he sent, and constantly improved my ability to heal injuries.

Over the past few decades, I have also encountered a lot of confusion, and I really want to ask him for advice, but when I think of the entrustment in his letter, I finally dare not.

A few years ago, I felt that I was old, and I really wanted to see him again, even if it was a peek from a distance.Just follow the address on his envelope many years ago. "

When Uncle Bone said this, he burst into tears, choked with sobs, buried his head deeply in the bed in front of him, trembling all over, and wailed like an old beast from his throat.

After a long time, he raised his head slightly, opened a pair of dizzy red and swollen old eyes, stared blankly at the front, and said in a sleepwalking voice: "The locals told me that he died soon after returning. His relatives, Long before he came home, he didn't know where he went."

Everyone fell into a sad mood and didn't say a word.

After a long time, Zeng Wenwei asked: "Master, I just heard from you that your master fell when he climbed the cliff after gathering long grass. Did he bring long grass back later? Is he really Grow bones for the guy who wants to grow taller?"

Uncle Bone shook his head, and still said in a hollow voice like sleepwalking: "He took the grass back, but I didn't ask him who was going to set the bone. Later, when he got there, he was no longer there, and his family couldn't find it. I don’t dare to inquire further.”

Zeng Wenwei asked again expectantly: "Then, sir, have you ever used this long grass to grow bones for other people?"

Uncle Bone shook his head again and again: "I haven't used this prescription yet. All broken bones can usually heal naturally with the help of medicine, and there is no need to deliberately promote the growth. In such a situation where short bones need to be lengthened, I will It’s the first time we’ve met.”

Liang Shi and Guo Zisu glanced at each other quickly, and their hearts tightened suddenly.

Zeng Wenwei's face had long since changed color, his eyes had become empty, and he muttered: "So, what should I do, what should I do?" He said, holding his head in his hands, and sat on the chair, sobbing.

For a moment, the room was enveloped in a thick sense of desolation, and everyone seemed a little out of breath.

Guo Zisu looked at Uncle Gu who was lost in remembrance and Zeng Wenwei who was immersed in disappointment, at a loss, and involuntarily leaned towards Liang Shi.

Liang Shi stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and said, "Master Bone, although you haven't used that prescription, I think your master may have tested it to be effective, otherwise he wouldn't have gone all the way to find it."

Uncle Bone's eyes glowed, and he said in a proud tone: "He said he used it before and it succeeded."

Hearing this, Zeng Wenwei jumped up like a stretched rubber on a slingshot, jumped to Uncle Bone's bed, and said, "Master Bone, that Zihao's leg can also be cured." Uncle's hands and eyes stared at Uncle Bone's lips for a moment, eager to spread the gospel from that mouth.

Uncle Bone still had a peaceful appearance, and said slowly: "Everything has a cause and effect."

Hearing these eight words, Zeng Wenwei became dejected, stomped his feet, and sighed: "I have lived for so many years, and I don't say that I am a good person, but I have never done anything harmful to the sky. Why did God torture me like this?" child?"

His words are pathetic, and everyone who hears them is moved, and a heart of compassion is born.

Zeng Wenwei didn't pay attention to the expressions on their faces. He bowed deeply and begged: "Master, you live here and are familiar with the local conditions and customs. Please think of a way. I will go to the mountains to collect herbs again." Uncle Bone knelt down.

Uncle Bone stretched out his hand to stop him: "Mr. Zeng, you are a person of status, kneeling down like this will ruin my old good-for-nothing."

Liang Shi and Guo Zisu hurried forward, pulling Zeng Wenwei up.Zeng Wenwei sighed: "Master, compared with the health of my child, my dignity is worthless."

Uncle Bone sighed heavily: "You are also poisoned right now, and your movements are inconvenient. We will talk about collecting herbs later."

Zeng Wenwei walked up and down the house in boredom, sighing.

Liang Shi thought for a while, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Mr. Zeng, don't worry. Let's make some preparations. I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow morning."

Zeng Wenwei raised his head in surprise and stared at Liang Shi with an expression of disbelief.Liang Shi nodded to him again, and grinned lightly.

Uncle Gu stretched out his hand and grabbed Liang Shi's arm, boasting: "Good boy, I saw you right."

Liang Shi turned his head and glanced at Guo Zisu, only to see that her big eyes were full of admiration and admiration, she smiled sweetly, and quickly gave him a thumbs up.

Several people began to discuss how to cross the blockade of poisonous insects and go to the cliff to collect medicine.

Uncle Bone said that both scorpions and centipedes like dark and damp.Most of them live in places overgrown with weeds and in the loose soil in the crevices of cliffs. They usually inhabit in their nests during the day and come out to move at night.They return to their nests to rest one after another before dawn, and it is difficult to see them after dawn.

The reason why Zeng Wenwei was attacked by them when he went was probably because he happened to meet them at the peak of their activities.So this time I will strive to leave early during the day.

"However, there are giant hornets during the day, and the sky is full of stars. When they see people, they sting fiercely. It's really terrible." Zeng Wenwei said, with fear in his eyes.It's a pity that his injuries are not fully healed yet.

"That should not be a giant hornet, but a wasp." Uncle Bone corrected, "The wasp is indeed fierce and highly toxic. It is difficult for you to avoid them during the day. However, the wasp usually attacks because it senses danger. I I can only ask you to be careful, and when you see them flying by, squat down quickly and don't let them touch your body."

Liang Shidao: "I heard from friends who like outdoor activities that they usually wear smoother clothes when they are exploring. It is said that this can also effectively reduce the chance of being stung by wasps."

Zeng Wenwei couldn't wait to say: "Then I will go to the county right now and buy two smooth expedition suits and come back."

"We have raincoats. Isn't it different to wear raincoats? It's also very slippery." Guo Zisu said.

"It's better to be cautious, buy an expedition suit and come back. I can't let Liang Shi get hurt because of my child." Zeng Wenwei looked at everyone and said sincerely
Uncle Bone stroked his gray beard and said in agreement: "Mr. Zeng is right. Mr. Zeng is already injured, and his son is waiting for him to take care of him. I also count on Liang Shi to take care of him. Neither of you can have any accidents." .Hurry up and buy an expedition suit."

Zeng Wenwei tugged Liang Shi's hand and urged, "Liang Shi, let's go together. I'm not familiar with this city, and it's best to try on the clothes when you buy them, so that they fit you well."

Liang Shi was noncommittal, so Guo Zisu urged, "Go quickly, I'm at home."

Uncle Gu instructed Guo Zisu to prepare straw sandals and bamboo hats for Zeng Wenwei and Liang Shi to go up the mountain, and put some detoxifying powder, bandages, disinfectant, snake medicine, safflower oil, insect repellent and water in the medicine bags for them. Wait.

Not long after dark, the two men came back. They bought a full set of expedition equipment, including Swiss army knives, walking sticks, wading shoes, and climbing ropes.Also stylishly paired with goggles.

Guo Zisu curiously picked up Liang Shi's goggles, looked at them, gathered her hair and put them on her face.Then he turned around and asked them: "How is it? Ladies, are you still awesome? Do you look like a female agent?"

"Returning female agents, female agents are real." Liang Shi said without raising his head.

Guo Zisu took off the goggles with a laugh, and rolled his eyes.

Uncle Bone laughed when he saw it, his gray beard was raised high, and he said enviously: "It's really an eye-opener. I didn't know that there was such a good thing before. Mr. Guo, hurry up and take me away." Throw away those worn-out sandals and bamboo hats, the old bastard will wear them like this next time he goes up the mountain."
