074 Belly Band
Sun Sicheng opened the medical box and took out a small cloth bag: "Abbot, let me tell you in advance that this medicine has not yet been truly released to the public. For the time being, it is only being tried on a few people who really have no other options. It is quite effective and the effects are particularly fast.
If you are not feeling particularly uncomfortable, you can wait for a few months, but I suggest you carry a small bottle of medicine with you. When you suddenly have palpitations, take a pill. It can save your life. "
The old abbot laughed and said, "I believe you. Thank you very much for thinking about it. How about you drink this tea? It was planted in the back mountain last year and it is available this year. It is from the old tea tree. I left two kilograms of tea for you. Take it with you when you go back."
"Thank you, Abbot. The tea here is the best. I'm going to Jiangnan this time, but unfortunately I won't be returning from here, otherwise I would bring you some tea from Jiangnan."
"You have businesses all over the Great Zhou. Are you tired?"
Sun Sicheng smiled bitterly: "When I feel tired sometimes, I suddenly don't want to be so busy anymore. I just want to be a doctor peacefully, treating illnesses and saving lives. What's the point of being so busy?
Money? No, even if we don't make any money from now on, it's basically enough for us to use. If we just work as a doctor and open a shop, we can still make a lot.
Fame? I really don't take these things seriously. I'm very happy when I save people, and I wish I could let go of everything at once when I'm upset. Abbot, I've been like this occasionally in the past two years. I'm very upset, but I can't tell anyone about it. If I tell anyone, most people will probably think I'm being hypocritical.
When I first saw Ping An, I suddenly wanted to take him in as my apprentice. In the past few years, many people have wanted me to take in their children, but I refused.
At that time, Ping'an's father was unwilling and wanted him to study for the imperial examination. I was reluctant to let him go, so I promised Sun Yat-sen that I would teach him and guarantee that he would pass the examination and become a scholar. That's how it became possible.
But now, I suddenly want Ping An to study again, and even want to send him to Jiangnan Academy. He is extremely smart and can almost remember everything he sees. He can remember medical books, Three Character Classic, etc. after reading them once or twice.
Abbot, do you think I should let him study instead of learning medicine? This child is basically guaranteed to go to high school in the future, and I am in a dilemma?"
"Since he is so smart and still young, why not let him learn both? In a few years, when he is older and has his own ideas, let him decide. It will just be a little harder now."
"Abbot, do you really think so? I've been thinking this over the past two days, but I also feel that the child is suffering too much."
The old abbot laughed and said, "Why is it so hard to learn a skill? There are many people out there who can't even afford three meals a day, and there are so many people who are sick and can't get medical treatment and can only wait to die at home. Isn't it harder than this?
Sicheng, you care too much about this child, so you are obsessed with it. Just let it go. Worrying about gains and losses is not good for you or him. Some paths are destined by fate and cannot be changed by human efforts. "
Sun Sicheng smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, Abbot, for your enlightenment. I will give you acupuncture. Please treat us to a vegetarian lunch."
The old abbot smiled.
…
Tianguang Temple is indeed a famous temple in Da Zhou. Jixiang led several people around left and right. When they passed by the temple, everyone went in to burn incense and kowtow, and added some incense money.
Ping An was once again thankful that before he set off, Wu Jun had exchanged his ten-liang silver note for small change and even copper coins, all of which came in handy now.
Erqiang also reluctantly took the silver coins, but after knocking on several pieces of silver, all the three or four cents of silver in his pocket were gone, leaving only a silver nugget of one or two taels, which he could not take out no matter what.
I took out 120 cents with me when I went out, and later spent 100 cents on it. I don't remember exactly how I spent it, but I think I used it to buy food.
The one or two taels of silver left now are the only wealth I have. I can’t become a pauper, can I?
In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.
The little monk came and called them to the restaurant.
Jixiang clicked his tongue and said, "The vegetarian food at Tianguang Temple is amazing. Everyone who comes here wants to eat it, but they may not always be able to get a table. Let's go and eat vegetarian food. If we have time in the afternoon, we can go to the back mountain to play. The scenery is very beautiful, especially in March."
Erqiang didn't care about looking at the mountain, but Ping'an was interested. Visiting the ancient temple made people calm down all of a sudden. The special smell of incense seemed to be able to wash away the resentment he had always had in this life.
I am unwilling to see that such a good family in my previous life is gone in the blink of an eye.
Unwilling to give up after years of hard work, he finally retired and wanted to take his wife around, but the trip never took place.
I am unwilling to accept that my son is about to return to China to get married, but he has inexplicably come to this strange world.
Yuan Qing followed him from beginning to end, occasionally looking at him with a sad expression and slightly red eyes.
He might have also been thinking, why the Bodhisattva could not protect his parents and grandfather, and why they became orphans at such a young age.
The restaurant was big enough, and Ping An felt like he was in the cafeteria of his previous university life. But it was not like that here. Everywhere he looked, he saw shiny bald heads.
The young monk took Ping An to a private room, while Jixiang took Er Qiang and the others to another private room.
"Master, Master."
"Ping An, come and sit down. The vegetarian food at Tianguang Temple is famous."
Ping'an hurriedly sat down at the bottom, and there were six dishes and a soup for three people.
It looked very good, and it must taste good, but he had eaten many delicious foods in his previous life, and had also eaten a lot of vegetarian food in temples, some of which looked much better than this.
"Ping An, this dish is called Good Luck Dang Tou. It looks like meat, but it's actually..."
The old abbot watched with a smile as Sun Sicheng introduced the dishes to his apprentice, as if they were father and son.
Ping An especially likes to eat dried bamboo shoots and chayote. He didn’t like this dish in his previous life, but here the chayote is cooked to perfection, making it truly delicious in color, aroma and taste.
The other dishes also have their own characteristics. For example, tofu is a very simple dish, but it is fried to a particularly beautiful color and garnished with several side dishes, which makes people want to pick it up involuntarily.
"Sicheng, help Doctor Liu check the patient later. He is not in good health and the doctor cannot cure him. He prescribed medicine himself, but I don't think he is getting better. If you don't come today, we will go to Baicaotang to ask for help."
"Doctor Liu? Did he say where he felt uncomfortable?"
"She said she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, and it kept coming up, and her face looked bad."
"Okay, I'll go check it out later, but you'll have to go back this afternoon. You have to take care of your waist and take care of it slowly."
"It's okay. I feel much better after you gave me the acupuncture."
"Master, you can also use a belly band on a regular basis. It will be much more comfortable."
"Ping An, what do you mean by a belly band?"
"Master, my grandmother also had a bad waist. I saw her tie thick cloth around her abdomen. She said it was much more comfortable and she wouldn't feel pain from the unintentional shaking of her waist.
I thought about this a while ago. This kind of belly band can be made to look like a thick waistband, and it can be harder and wider than a waistband. It should be able to protect the waist, but it is not convenient for people who are very busy. "
Ping An thought about it, then used the other end of the chopsticks to dip in water and started drawing on the table.
In fact, it is an imitation of the style of belly bands in previous lives, combined with the style of waist belts, which is both useful and beautiful.
Sun Sicheng nodded, looked at the abbot and said, "Don't mention it, it's really feasible. It can also be made of leather. It's just not suitable in summer because it's too hot to bear. But it's OK in other seasons. Abbot, I'll draw the picture later. You can have someone customize two kinds for you, one leather and one thick cloth."
The old abbot also figured it out and realized that this method can indeed protect the waist.
"Ping An, your grandmother must be dead?"
"Yeah, it's been three and a half years."
"How old were you then? Only four years old. It's amazing that you still remember all this." Sun Sicheng felt sorry for his apprentice.
"Master, four years old is not young anymore."
The old abbot sighed in his heart that the child's biological father was clearly still alive, but the family thought he was dead.
The word "fate" is really hard to explain, and neither is destiny.
He was obviously a lucky little boy with great fortune, but he suffered a series of misfortunes when he was young.
He wanted to see his child's future clearly, but he couldn't.
Master, what's wrong with him? How come he can't even see through a child?
