what!Ginseng is refined!

The old doctor folded the note and put it in his sleeve, and asked unwillingly, "When did you write it?"

Chu asked Jing to point to him and then to Wang Dapu.

The old doctor understood, and he wrote the note while they were talking.With an inaudible sigh, he picked up the two jars of wine again, and said to Wang Dapu, "I've taken the things. I'll come back to pick them up after a few days when the medicine is used up. You can go back."

Then he went straight back to the backyard.

Chu Wenjing stopped Wang Dapu and told him to wait, and went to the kitchen in the backyard to get the newly made mooncakes from yesterday, and packed them for Wang Dapu to take.

After Wang Dapu left, Chu Wenjing cleaned the hospital, locked it again, and went to the backyard.

This morning, the medical hall has been very busy. After lunch, he hurried to deliver the medicine again, and he hadn't had time to water the mushrooms and ginseng in the yard.

There is a large tank in the yard, which is used to store spring water on weekdays.

The water closest to the medical center is the well water at the mouth of the West Village, and it is only used for bathing and laundry on weekdays.

Master's mushrooms, as well as his own ginseng, as well as helping the villagers who come to see a doctor to cook medicine on weekdays, and the medicinal materials and meals at home all use the clear springs in the mountains.This is a rule set long ago.

There was still half a tank of water in the big tank, which was left over from yesterday. Chu Wenjing first brought a bucket of water into the kitchen to boil water. Ask Jing to water his precious mushrooms, especially the one basking in the sun in the largest pot.

The mushroom has been around for a long time. Since Chu Wenjing could remember, his masters had raised it. When he was a child, he was beaten on the palm because he mistook the mushroom for Ganoderma lucidum.

Other mushrooms like shade, but this large mushroom likes to bask in the sun. Master often said that this one has become fine.

They say that those who study Chinese medicine often go to the mountains to collect herbs, and after a long time, they will have the magical ability to recognize mountain spirits and goblins.Chu Wenjing is still young, and has been to few mountains and rivers rich in medicinal materials, so it is a long-term love not to know those spirits.

The two masters are serious, and from Chu Wenjing's childhood to his present age, even if he has never seen the mushroom appear, he still believes it, and offers it as a treasure.Put it out to bask in the sun during the day, move it back to the place near the window at night, hang mosquito nets in summer, and set up a stove in winter, so as not to be bitten by mosquitoes, snakes and rats, and not to be bullied by cold, wind and rain.

In the past, when Master Ziheng was alive, the two old men even tried to sleep with Mushroom. In the end, they couldn't argue, and they simply lived together. Later, Mushroom became "unpopular" again, so they went to bed together. He was moved to Chu Wenjing's room.

Two months ago, the two masters and apprentices climbed mountains and waded from Huanglong Town in the south to return to Huaiyuan Town. The journey was difficult and dangerous. Mushrooms are the first, more important than Chu Wenjing and Du old man.

After watering Mr. Mushroom, Chu Wenjing watched the sun go west, so he moved the mushroom back indoors and put it together with ginseng.

The ginseng was brought back by Chu Wenjing when he went up the mountain two days ago. I don’t know why he feels close to this ginseng plant, but he can’t explain why. Yesterday, Master chased him and insisted on asking why. Chu Wenjing thought After a long time, he gestured badly to the master and wrote a note to explain, "This ginseng may be a mountain spirit. I feel that it is different from other plants in the mountains."

The old doctor pretended not to understand, and asked him: "The mountain spirit doesn't look like this, you admitted your mistake, and you should be punished with a slap in the palm of your hand."

Chu asked Jing: "..."

After watering the mushrooms, there was still some water in the bucket. Chu Wenjing estimated the size of the flowerpot and felt that the water was enough, so he picked up the bucket and fed the remaining water to the ginseng.

Then I put down the propped up window and closed it, and went out of the house to water the other mushrooms growing in the yard.

After pouring, the old doctor's meal is ready-three bowls of longevity noodles.

The sun is about to go down, and the sky in the west is a bewitching red, like an endless fire.

In the northeast direction, a huge full moon is climbing up at unhurried steps. The full moon has already risen, and it is time for the tribute to keep up.

Chu Wenjing put the mooncakes on a plate, the watermelon with cut teeth occupied a plate, and the three clay eggs sent by Wang Dapu put them on a plate, put them on the table in the courtyard, and then offered incense and kowtowed.

After Chu Wenjing kowtowed, his master came out with a bowl of noodles, and put it on the table that was temporarily used as an offering table, and then put two jars of wine on it. After setting it up, he also offered incense and bowed down.

The incense was not inserted into the noodle bowl, nor was it placed on the wine jar, but it was inserted on the moon cake together with Chu Wenjing's.

He was afraid of longevity noodles dripped with incense ashes, Ziheng didn't like to eat them.

It was getting dark and it was getting cold outside.After paying the tribute and praying to the moon, the two went back to the kitchen, squatted on the ground and ate the longevity noodles whole.

There was not much noodles, and he was half full after eating. After eating, the old doctor moved his small stool and leaned against the kitchen door, looking up at the moon.It was cool in autumn, and Chu Wenjing was afraid that his master would catch cold, so he brought him a winter coat and wrapped it around him.Afraid of the cold, the old man shrank into a ball and continued to admire the moon.

Chu Wenjing washed and tidied up the tableware in the kitchen, then followed his master and squatted at the door.

The old man was cold and wanted to drink to warm himself up, so he asked his apprentice, "Where's the wine you bought today?"

Chu Wenjing showed him the altar, and there were only two altars of daughter red in the family, and they were all on the altar.

The old man tightened his clothes, like an aggrieved child who can't eat candy, "Then give it to your master Ziheng first, and we can drink it after he finishes drinking."

The things for offering sacrifices to the moon had only been put on display for half an hour, old man Du endured and endured, passing the time of his apprentice's pharmacopoeia exam, barely endured it for another half an hour, he really couldn't sit still.

He walked into the yard and looked up at the moon. There seemed to be a person living in the moon.

After staring at the wine on the altar, he walked around the table.

Started to discuss with Chu Wenjing's Master Ziheng, "Have you finished your drink? It's been an hour, should I have two jars of wine?"

"There are only two jars of wine in the house, one for each of us, okay?"

Of course no one responded to him.

Chu Wenjing couldn't make a sound, leaning one shoulder against the door frame, propping his head with his bent arm, watching his two masters discussing.

Master Ziheng couldn't speak anymore, so he could only follow old man Du, so old man Du carried two jars of Nurhong and a clay egg in one hand, went back to the small stool at the door and sat down.

He happily told his disciples, "Your Master Ziheng agrees, Nidan will have one for him, one for me, and one for you."

After eating the eggs, I will be seventy percent full.

Old man Du urged Chu Wenjing to drink again, "Look, you must be thirteen this year, and you will be fourteen soon after the new year, and you will be an adult soon, and you should drink when you are an adult."

Chu Wenjing shook his head and refused to drink.

Old man Du was quiet for a while, and changed his tactics, "You see, your master Ziheng has already finished his drink and ignored me. You can't let your master Qizi drink alone at the bar. I'm getting old..."

"Old Doctor Du, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want Kongming lanterns? The children in the family made one more." The neighbor leaned against the wall, holding an unlit Kongming lantern in his hand.

"Yes, thank the children for me." Just now, she looked aggrieved that no one was drinking with her, but when she heard the neighbor talking, she immediately changed her appearance, and stuffed the wine jar into Chu Wenjing's arms without saying a word.I stood up and went to pick up the Kongming lantern.

After receiving the lamp, I said a few more words to my neighbors, "Why do you also make up for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

The neighbor leaned his arms against the wall and said with a smile: "That's right, I saw little doctor Chu come back with two jars of wine this afternoon, and then he ate and rabbits. Everyone in the village knows that the medical center is making Mid-Autumn Festival Yes, this year the field has a good harvest, but the autumn festival was not completed because of the rain, and now it will be made up."

"Look, old man."

The neighbor barely stretched out a finger to point to the sky, one by one Kongming lanterns were lifted into the sky, some of the lower ones flickered, and some vague blessings could be seen; the higher ones could hardly see the light spots, and slowly flew towards the moon .

The praying sky lanterns are really beautiful. The old doctor looked up for a long time before realizing that there was a neighbor next to him. He thanked the neighbor and took the mooncakes that were newly made in the past two days to the neighbor. taste.

The neighbor let go of his grip on the wall and went back to his yard to light sky lanterns with his children.

The old doctor walked back to the door of the kitchen with the Kongming lantern in his hand. Chu Wenjing had already taken out the fire folder, and the master and apprentice struggled a lot before lighting the Kongming lantern.

Old Doctor Du held the lamp in his hand and asked Chu Wenjing, "What wish shall we write?"

Chu Wenjing had been prepared for a long time, and ran back to his room to take out a letter. On the envelope was written "Master Ziheng Enlightenment", and then stuck it on the lamp. It turned out that the letter had been written long ago.

Old Doctor Du held the sky lantern, and his face became serious, "Are you suing me with your Master Ziheng?"

Chu asked Jing, who was he referring to?So he shook his head.

The old doctor was not satisfied with the answer, "Bring a pen from the medical clinic in front of you, and I have to report you to Master Ziheng!"

Chu Wenjing obediently went into the front clinic to look for pens.

As soon as Chu Wenjing turned around, Old Man Du looked left and right like a thief, and then quickly bit his own finger. He actually planned to write directly on the lamp. What did he write?

Beads of blood oozed from his fingers, and the old doctor fell into deep thought.Before Chu Ziheng passed away, the two old men had endless conversations every day, and after three and a half months of separation, they didn't know what to say.

"Squeak-"

It was the sound of the door being closed, and Chu Wenjing came back with a pen.

The old doctor was startled, and quickly drew something that looked neither like a peach nor an apple on the lamp, and then pretended to look at the wick, and said to his apprentice: "If the lamp oil is exhausted, it will not be able to fly. Don't write, let it go." Bar."

Chu Wen and Jing Wenyan put down their pens, and set up Kongming lanterns with their master.

The sky lantern is tied with nostalgia and flies to the place where the old man went, it is for lovesickness.
