Chapter 7
Dreams are illusory and definitely not reality, Ying Xiong naturally understands this truth.From childhood, our teachers taught us to believe in science.Clearly, dreams have nothing to do with science.

However, there is a strong impulse in Ying Xiong's heart, like a magic power, driving him to pursue such an illusory dream.

In this way, after 3 days.During these three days, Ying Xiong's life was no different from before.I thought that time would dilute this impulse, but what I didn't expect was that this impulse became stronger and stronger, which made him restless.

"No, I must go to Sui County, Hubei Province, and find this man named Sun Wu!" Ying Xiong couldn't bear the impulsive feeling, and secretly made up his mind that even if he fetched water from a bamboo basket, it would be better than doing nothing I feel aggrieved.

The next day, Yingxiong took out the 2000 yuan he usually saved from a small iron box, took a bus to the bookstore in the county town, bought a national atlas, and went to a shopping agent to buy a map book for Jiangcheng. Train tickets (there is no direct train to Sui County, you have to transfer to Jiangcheng).He lied to his parents, saying that he was going to play with his classmates in the provincial capital for a few days, took a change of clothes and toiletries, and set off with his schoolbag on his back.

Ying Xiong has never traveled far, never taken a train, never been out of the province.But he is not afraid, there is a first time for everything.Fortunately, I already have an ID card, so staying in a hotel is much more convenient.

When Yingxiong got on the train to Jiangcheng, he felt that he had grown up suddenly.Imagine yourself alone, without the company of your parents, taking a train to a place hundreds of kilometers away.

The train runs at night and arrives the next morning.In order to save the fare, Ying Xiong bought a seat ticket.It is not the peak period of holidays, so there are not many people on the train.

Early the next morning, the train arrived at Jiangxia Railway Station.After getting off the station, Ying Xiong ignored the solicitations of the drivers in the train station, walked to the bus station, and got on the bus to Jianghan Railway Station.Soon, the bus started to drive from Jiangxia to Jianghan.

The bus was driving on the Jiangcheng Yangtze River Bridge, Ying Xiong ate bread and watched the scenery outside the window.This was the first time he saw the Yangtze River, and he sighed: "So this is the Yangtze River, how magnificent it is!"

When Jianghan Railway Station arrived, Ying Xiong went to the ticket office to buy a train ticket to Sui County.There are many trains passing by Sui County, and Ying Xiong got on the train soon.

On the train, Ying Xiong was thinking about what to do after arriving in Sui County.Because I don't know if there is a pharmacy called Fulutang, and if it does exist, I don't know the exact location of the pharmacy.

After arriving at Suixian Station, Ying Xiong asked a local taxi driver with the mentality of trying it out.

Yingxiong's luck seems to be good. There really is a pharmacy called Fulutang in Suixian County. What surprised him even more was that the driver happened to know him and said he had been there just yesterday to buy Chinese medicine for his old mother.

Ying Xiong felt that everything was moving in the ideal direction, so he sat in a taxi full of hope and came to the traditional Chinese medicine store street in Xicheng Street, Suixian County.

The taxi driver was very enthusiastic and took Ying Xiong directly to the gate of Fulutang.After Yingxiong paid the fare and got off the bus, the three words "Fulutang" on the plaque of the pharmacy came into view.

Ying Xiong looked around and saw that there were still many pharmacies like Fulutang here, but of course, they were far inferior in terms of grandeur and scale.

With his schoolbag on his back, Ying Xiong stepped over the threshold and walked into Fulu Hall.As soon as he entered the gate, he was greeted with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. The smell of various Chinese medicines mixed together made him feel a little uncomfortable.

There are people coming and going in Fulutang, people grabbing medicines, replenishing goods, decocting medicines, and holding pots of decocting medicines. It is very lively.No one pays attention to Yingxiong, everyone is busy with their own affairs.

Ying Xiong stopped in the pharmacy for a while, and managed to grab a female staff member in overalls and glasses, and asked, "Hello, my name is Ying Xiong, I came to your store to find a man named Sun Wu, is Sun Wu there?" ?”

The female staff member looked at Ying Xiong suspiciously, shook her head and replied, "I don't know you, you have found the wrong person!"

Ying Xiong then asked, "Is your boss here?"

The female staff member became more and more puzzled as she listened: "He's not here, he's gone to a Chinese medicine tasting meeting. Do you have anything to do with the boss, classmate?"

Ying Xiong felt a little anxious, he came all the way by train, and finally got here, Sun Wu didn't find him, let alone told him that there was no such person.This is a major blow to a hopeful man.

Ying Xiong's face was full of disappointment.Seeing the handsome middle school student with a schoolbag, the female staff couldn't bear it, so she asked patiently: "I really don't know about the 'Sun Tzu' you mentioned, and our boss is indeed not here, so I didn't lie to you. But our boss is also surnamed Sun, and the person talking loudly over there is his sister, you go ask her, maybe she knows Sun Wu."

Ying Xiong smiled at the female staff, and said, "Thank you sister!"

"You're welcome!" the female staff member left after she finished speaking, leaving behind a beautiful back.

Ying Xiong had another glimmer of hope in his heart. He bypassed the crowds, walked to the place where the medicine was collected, and found the boss's sister that the female staff said.At this time, she was calling the shop assistants to grab medicine, and she was very busy.

Ying Xiong thought that Sun Wu could not be found just now, but now he has hope again, so he naturally refused to give up easily.So he stood aside, quietly waiting for the boss's sister to finish her work.

About 20 minutes later, fewer people came to grab the medicine, and the boss's sister stopped urging the waiter.Ying Xiong felt that the time had come, so he took a step forward and asked, "Sister Sun, hello! Do you know Sun Wu?"

The boss sister turned her head, looked at Ying Xiong in surprise, and asked, "Who are you? What do you want him for?"

The boss's sister's question did not make Ying Xiong feel bad at all, on the contrary, he was very excited, because the meaning in the other party's words should be that he knew Sun Wu.

Ying Xiong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and replied seriously: "My name is Ying Xiong, and I have something to do with Mr. Sun Wu!"

The boss's sister smiled strangely, and said to a female buddy next to her who was grabbing medicine: "The old man is getting better at playing, and he has made friends with middle school students."

The female buddy smiled and said, "That's mentally young!"

The boss sister said disapprovingly: "You can also help him talk, alas—the old one is not like the old one, and the young one is not like the young one."

Ying Xiong is not in a hurry to urge the boss's sister, now that he has something to ask for, he can't offend her.

The boss sister turned her head and said to Yingxiong: "Hey, handsome guy, if you want to find him, go out the gate and turn right and go straight for 500 meters. You can find him at the flower and bird market."

Ying Xiong asked, "Where is he at the flower and bird market?"

The boss's sister said: "It's very simple, you just need to find the place with the most people. Say the name 'Old Urchin', and you will definitely find him."

Ying Xiong suddenly realized and nodded, saying: "Thank you!" After speaking, he turned and walked out, leaving Fulutang.He wanted to leave here quickly, firstly because he was in a hurry to find Sun Wu, and secondly because he was not used to the smell of traditional Chinese medicine here.

Following the instructions of the boss's sister, Ying Xiong walked for less than 10 minutes and quickly found the flower and bird market.Birds singing in the flower and bird market can be heard endlessly, but it doesn't seem noisy.He inquired about "Old Urchin" at the owner of a bird seller.Sure enough, the boss seemed to be very familiar with "Old Urchin", and pointed out that he had just seen Old Urchin in the cultural square.

Following the instructions of the bird seller, Ying Xiong walked through the alleys between the shops and soon found the Cultural Square.In fact, it is called "Cultural Square". Such an incredible name is actually a large open space with a large stone in the middle.

A group of people formed a circle in the cultural square, Ying Xiong looked through the crowd, and saw an old man in the middle holding a birdcage in his hand, and a strange bird was locked in the cage.

Ying Xiong stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd.The old man in the middle has snow-white hair and is not tall, but his body looks tough.What surprised him even more was that the old man looked like a child, and it could be described as reverse growth.

The old man was carrying the birdcage, smiling and talking inexplicable words to those onlookers.At the beginning, everyone chatted with him very enthusiastically, but after a while, everyone lost interest and dispersed, leaving Ying Xiong alone.

The crowd of onlookers dispersed. The old man fiddled with the birdcage and didn't want to talk anymore, so he planned to leave.Looking up, he suddenly found a young man with a schoolbag on his back and looked like a student was still there, so he looked at Ying Xiong with a smile and said, "Little baby, do you know what kind of bird this is?"

Ying Xiong shook his head, then asked: "Grandpa, are you Sun Wu?"

While teasing the strange bird in the cage, the old man replied casually, "Yes!"

Ying Xiong was very excited, because the "Sun Wu" mentioned by the king of medicine in the dream was indeed a real person, and he was the old man with white hair and childlike face in front of him.He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to confirm: "Are you really Sun Wu?"

The old man looked away from the birdcage, turned to Ying Xiong, looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously, and said, "That's right! Why, what do you want me to do?"

Ying Xiong nodded vigorously.

The old man asked suddenly: "Aren't you a local?"

Ying Xiong nodded and said, "I'm from another place. I changed trains several times and finally came here."

"Oh, what do you want me to do?" the old man asked.

When Ying Xiong saw the other party asking this question, he replied truthfully: "Grandpa Sun, hello! The thing is this: I had a dream a few days ago. In the dream, a grandfather who claimed to be the "King of Medicine" Sun Simiao appeared. He asked me what difficulties I had, and I said that I wanted to be the best basketball player in the world, but I didn't have that kind of physical condition. After hearing this, he directed me to find a doctor named Sun Wu at the "Fu Lu Tang" drug store in Sui County, E Province Man, said he would help me! So, here I am!"

"What?" The birdcage that Sun Wu was carrying just now had fallen to the ground.The strange bird was also frightened.He ignored the birdcage, took a step forward, took Ying Xiong's hand, and asked excitedly: "Is it a dream a few days ago? What the ancestors said in the dream?"

Ying Xiong was a little surprised by Sun Wu's abnormal behavior, but he kept nodding.

Sun Wu took a deep look at Ying Xiong, paused, picked up the birdcage with one hand, held Ying Xiong's hand with the other, and said seriously: "Come with me!"
