I am Hu Tianming. I have been an orphan since childhood. I have no idea who my family is or where my home is. I only remember begging everywhere when I was very young.
It was not until the founding of the People's Republic of China that we realized that we have a truly stable country, China.
Compared with national affairs and hunger, hunger is more important.
Therefore, he continued to look for food like a wandering soul.
Sometimes he had a full meal, and sometimes he was hungry all day, so when he was six years old, he looked no taller than a three-year-old child from a wealthy family.
Until that person appeared in front of him.
He gave him a white flour dumpling and a meat dumpling. It was the first time he tasted meat.
He thought he would never forget that taste in his life.
He asked me if I wanted to go with him to fill my stomach.
Just this tempting condition made the young boy dare to jump into the abyss even if it was ahead of him.
Then I followed the man.
Later he asked me to call him Master, and then I began to learn medicine from him.
I'm really stupid. My only interest is massage and medicinal wine, as well as some of the crooked ways that the master talked about.
Master is very good, really very good. I feel the love from him like a father.
He felt that he was happy and lucky to have met Master, and he hoped that the good days would continue.
He had not expected that misfortune would come so quickly. When his master passed away, he suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, it was his master's ashes.
He buried his master in Qilin Mountain. His master used to take him to the mountain to collect herbs, so that was where they spent most of their time together.
He never thought about getting married, he just wanted to be alone and accompany his master quietly.
His master taught him how to heal illnesses and save lives, and with this knowledge, he got a job as a doctor in Wei.
He didn't expect that the eldest senior brother and the second senior sister would be demoted. He heard that it was because of the second senior sister that the eldest senior brother was implicated.
녦He was so useless that he couldn't even find where they were sent.
He was lucky in his life because God gave him the best apprentice.
She is very talented and can learn medical skills very quickly. If the master were still alive, he would definitely praise him for finding such a good disciple so that his medical skills can be passed on.
So that day he bought incense and paper money, brought his master's favorite wine, sat at the grave, chatted with his master for most of the day, and dug out his master's handwritten note and gave it to her.
That girl was indeed gifted. It took him half a year to memorize a complete set of Chinese medicine, but that girl memorized it by heart in just two months.
That’s not all, that girl is better at acupuncture than he is.
Even his best skill, massage with medicinal wine, was quickly mastered by her.
Soon he felt that he had nothing to teach her and wanted to take her to see more patients and practice more.
But before he could make arrangements, the girl was sent to the countryside by her family.
Such a well-behaved and sensible child, he couldn't understand why that family was so cruel.
Later, he heard from his young apprentice that it was to support his parents, and he understood.
Without a blood connection, how can I care about the life or death of the adopted child?
So the little apprentice was pushed here.
He didn't want his apprentice to neglect her medical studies, so he prepared a lot of things for her to read, and also told her that it would be best for her to get a medical license, so that she could work as a barefoot farmer in the village, which would be easier than working in the fields.
He knew that his young apprentice was always smart and would have a good life wherever he went.
But he didn't expect that his young apprentice was so quick-witted that he married himself off less than two months after going to the countryside.
How can this be!
He treated his little apprentice like a daughter-in-law and loved her very much. A daughter-in-law must prepare a dowry when she gets married, otherwise her husband's family will look down on her.
It was just that right after he sent his dowry, he received a package prepared by his apprentice.
It was such a huge package that even an old man like him couldn't move it. He had to ask someone for help to take it home.
After opening it, tears started to fall from his eyes.
After his master left, he hadn't felt the feeling of being thought of and loved by others for a long time.
His chest was filled to the brim. Reading the concern in the letter made him feel that his dowry was not given in vain.
From food to drinks to daily necessities, nothing was left out; even a complete set of cotton jackets and cotton shoes for winter was prepared.
When the thick quilt was taken out, the neighbors who helped move the things became envious.
"Mr. Hu, your niece is dearer to you than your own daughter. Look at all these wonderful things. You may not be able to buy them even if you have a ticket. The key is that you have to spend a lot of money."
The old widow next door even had the idea.
She actually wanted to propose marriage to him, which frightened him so much that he didn't dare to go out for several days.
Why would he, an old man over fifty, marry a wife?
He avoids people when he sees them, for fear of being tricked.
He also got to know about his young apprentice's husband, a soldier, who was already an officer at a young age, and was hardly worthy of his young apprentice.
It's just a pity that the face is ruined.
He developed a scar removal drug, but it could only lighten the scars but not completely remove them. After asking his apprentice and making sure she didn't care, he left it alone.
Where are you going!
On the contrary, the little apprentice did not mind and cured his face. Maybe he still has to be on guard against other little goblins, which is good.
Then he went to work leisurely every day, drank tea after get off work, and occasionally went to the mountains to collect herbs.
The young apprentice would send him parcels every now and then, including quite a few smoked chickens and rabbits, and he had also sent him more than a dozen bags of smoked meat.
Such a good disciple is hard to find even with a lantern.
He always knew that Xiao Huang from the clinic wanted to study medicine with him, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
I've always thought that Xiao Huang was too worldly-wise. Compared with my little apprentice... bah, there's no comparison.
If you still want to ask him questions, he won't be fooled.
When he learned that his young disciple had a senior brother and a senior sister, he couldn't believe it.
Unexpectedly, the person he had been looking for for several years was found by his young apprentice.
He saw the letter written to him by his senior apprentice, but he couldn't go there, so he asked his junior apprentice to help take care of him.
In the letter, the senior brother praised the medical skills of his junior disciple. He was so proud of himself that he drank half a bottle of wine that day.
Because I drank too much, I didn't drink any water in the middle of the night and didn't cover myself with a blanket properly, so I got a fever that day.
Fortunately, he had wild honey given to him by his apprentice, as well as some antipyretic medicine.
Even though he is an adult, he really doesn't have any medicine at home.
These are the pills that his young apprentice made for him, so they are easy to use.
I took a pill of antipyretic medicine and a glass of honey water, had a good sleep at home in the middle of the day, and woke up feeling refreshed in the afternoon.
He also gave me a prescription for antipyretic medicine, which was very effective and suitable for the patient.
Later, he heard that his young apprentice was going to Heilongjiang Province to join the army. He could no longer stay there, so he asked for leave that day, bought a train ticket and went to Lujia Village.
He met the two senior brothers and talked to them for a long time.
Before leaving, he finally expressed his thoughts.
He wanted to adopt his young apprentice as his goddaughter.
When he first asked, he was worried that his young apprentice would not agree, and he was also afraid that his in-laws would have opinions. After all, if they became relatives, they would have to support him in his old age.
Unexpectedly, she not only agreed but also prepared wine and food and prepared a nice family recognition banquet.
The word "Dad" made his eyes wet.
That’s great, he isn’t alone anymore.
His goddaughter was very busy, and her hard work was reported in the newspapers every other day. Then, in addition to helping people with their illnesses, he also had a hobby of showing off, so that everyone who came to see him knew how busy his goddaughter was.
He just loves to see others being jealous and helpless against him.
What can I do? His daughter is good, but she has her own problems. It's useless for others to be jealous.
Later, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew, and he reached retirement age.
녦He could not sit still. He had been dealing with medicinal herbs all his life and always wanted to go to the mountains.
His beloved daughter was worried that he might get into an accident while going into the mountains, so she paid for him to open a pharmacy.
Hehe, if he had things to do, he naturally couldn't go to the mountains. He couldn't stay idle, so he dragged his eldest senior brother's two wives with him.
The three old guys live together so they can take care of each other.
I didn't expect the business of the pharmacy to be so good.
However, the baby lady set a rule that she could only take 30 patients a day, 10 per patient, and not one more, unless it was a matter of life and death.
He found it both funny and heartbreaking.
The lady loves him, so naturally he has to be obedient.
He was even laughed at by his eldest senior brother and second senior sister, who said that he had been lazy for half his life and did not marry because he did not want to be controlled by others. But now that he was old, he was completely controlled by a little girl.
Said he had no breath.
He just smiled.
But in his heart he was thinking, you know nothing, what's the use of him having that information?
He likes to be controlled by a beautiful lady.
That was their little secret between father and daughter.
He lived until he was 82 years old. In the following years, he was taken to Kyoto by his concubine and lived with them.
He either drinks tea and plays with birds all day, or likes children to be around him.
His later years were really good, he lived a comfortable life, and had nothing to worry about.
He never lacked money. His daughters would often stuff hundreds or thousands of dollars into his hands, and he could never spend it all.
The old guys who knew him all said that he must have been very lucky in his previous life to have such a good wife in this life.
In fact, he felt that he had suffered too much in his youth and God was compensating him.
His bestie!
I never forgot about him. Whenever I went to visit him, I would definitely bring him all kinds of things he had never seen or eaten before.
As my daughter said, money should be spent, and as a person, if you are old and still worry about what you have not accomplished, that would be a pity.
Then, he was fed all kinds of things by his grandchildren.
Well, I learned this word from my eldest grandson.
The children have grown up, and he can feel the passage of time.
He instructed his daughter to send him back to Wencheng and bury him next to his master. He wanted to go back to be with his master.
Qilin Mountain is his root, where his fallen leaves return to.
After arranging his own affairs, he fell asleep that day and did not wake up the next day.
He felt his body was light as he watched his daughter crying and his grandchildren were reluctant to leave him.
He wanted to hug the children, but he couldn't get close.
I watched as my daughter personally buried him in the cemetery and carved the words "Hu Tianming" on the tombstone, with the small words "daughter, Cheng Yunanli" next to it.
His life was over.
There are bitterness and sweetness, but more sweetness!
I just felt my body floating lightly, and finally turned into scattered starlight.
