Chapter 596: Get a single prescription and test the word "Step"

Director Liu took a sip of tea and the girl added water for him.

He then said, "A friend of mine taught me this. He's not a doctor either. Doctors need a medical license. He didn't have one, only a prescription."

This recipe works for some people, but not for others. But it works for me.”

I said to the girl, "Go find a piece of paper and a pen."

The girl went out and brought back paper and pen in a moment.

Director Liu walked to the mahjong table, wrote a square, and handed it to me.

When I read it, I found it was written in quite detail.

Medication: Fresh Smilax glabra root, 90 grams.

Usage: Stew with 1 pig tripe and take.

Function: dispel wind and dampness.

The Compendium of Materia Medica states that it can cure thirst and is now used clinically to treat diabetes. This is a folk remedy introduced by Lin Qingxiang, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Xiamen.

Director Liu explained, "This is originally a folk remedy, but Mr. Lin used it to treat illnesses, and my friend also understands it."

I put my hands together (a habit I still haven't gotten over): "Thank you, thank you. No matter if it works or not, I'll give it a try first."

I folded the paper and put it in my pocket. Picking up the tea, I said, "Here's a cup of tea for you. When you come to Upstate, come see me. Food and lodging are free."

Director Liu said, "I've heard of you for a long time. Dongzi told me about you, and so did Mingbai. Mingbai and I are cousins. You've helped him a lot."

"Ah? The world is too small. We are all acquaintances. Are you the son of your uncle?"

"Yes, yes, you know my dad?"

"I understand. I took you to your house for dinner. I noticed that you look a bit like your father."

"Oh, I see. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have wanted to come. I'd be pushing this with my friends at home."

I smiled and said, "It's a sign of true love that you're willing to step down from the mahjong table. Come on, let's play again."

After saying that, I glanced at my phone out of the corner of my eye. I had been sitting there for an hour.

Director Liu said: "But to be honest, if Dongzi calls me, I will come. Dongzi is a talented person."

I said, "Director, you should promote him and make him a better person. All his knowledge is rotting in his head. Even if he is Zhuge Liang, if he doesn't come out for a long time, he will be just a useless scholar."

Director Liu glanced at me and changed the subject, "Does fortune-telling have to be done for yourself, or can it be used for others?"

"You can test others, but it's best to test yourself."

"Is it possible to measure the direction of something?"

"It's impossible to test it in the long term, but you can try it within a year. But you'd better write it down."

After hearing this, Director Liu suddenly walked towards the mahjong table. There was paper and pen there. He wrote the word "Mai" on the coffee table.

Then he said, "Measure the direction of something."

At this time, the girl probably knew that I really could tell fortunes, and she looked at me with curiosity.

I said, "Master, I interpret characters based on several principles. The first is to interpret based on the original meaning of the character. I will interpret based on the original meaning of the character.

The second is the secret harmony of the entrance and the hall. This is a bit difficult to explain. I can only use an analogy to explain it. For example, if you ask me to predict the gender of the baby, and a man happens to come in, I will predict a boy.

The reason is why this man didn't come in earlier or later? He just came in when you asked me to test him. This is called the secret harmony of the entrance."

Director Liu said, "I understand. Last year, my father asked me to drive to my uncle's house to play. After lunch, he said, my uncle's house is not far away, so I should go and play too.

After playing for a while at my uncle's house, he said that my two aunts' homes were nearby, and since I was there, I wanted to go and sit down.

He made one final walk, and died three days after returning. This is called a farewell. Why not go earlier or later, but go on a full walk three days before death? Things in the world are just so coincidental.

I nodded and said, "Let's touch it again. If you understand correctly, it will be easier for us to communicate with each other if we have this understanding as a foundation."

Putting down my teacup, I said, "The character 'mai' originally meant to walk. The earliest writing of the character had a zodiac radical on the left and a scorpion on the right.

Together, they mean a scorpion crawling. Now, it's extended to mean walking. For example, "The pass is as hard as iron, but now I'm starting over again."

Dongzi said: "Yes, the poems of great men."

I said, "Look at your action of leaving the table and walking to the mahjong table to write. This is also 'walking', which is called the secret harmony of the entrance hall.

In short, the direction of this thing can be described in one word: 'walk.' It's just that scorpions crawl very slowly. Try walking again, using the same method as before. How many steps does it take to get from the sofa to the mahjong table?

Director Liu walked it again and said, "Six steps."

I said, "We'll leave before the Lunar New Year."

Dongzi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He asked, "Who is sick?"

Director Liu patted Dongzi on the shoulder and said, "In this vast world, there are always people who are sick."

Dongzi looked confused.

I gave Dongzi a look secretly, signaling him not to ask.

At this time, the girl became interested and said, "Teacher, can you give me a fortune telling?"

I was telling this to the young lady, as well as to Director Liu and Dongzi, so I said:

"Okay, anyway, I still have ten minutes to accompany my master. Since you are beautiful, I will test you."

The girl said, "Yes, it passed. Then she felt something was wrong and asked me, 'Should I write it down?'"

I shook my head.

Everyone looked at me again.
