Poor family mother and son

Chapter 588 "I'm not Lao Tzu, I don't write books!"

Don't think that children can get gifts from adults just by pretending to be innocent, no, at least not here in Li Hu.

Li Hu took off the bag, put it on the table and opened it, and Xiao Bao took a look: "What's all this?"

In Li Hu's baggage, there was a large bag of peppercorns. When he opened the bag of peppercorns, there was a white cotton bag inside. Then he opened the cloth bag, and inside were a few yellow-brown, forked, hairy branches.

Each fork has the thickness of a baby's wrist and the length of the rest, while the bottom connection is neatly cut, dark red in color, and smells of blood.

There are six in total, each weighing less than a catty.

"Uncle Tiger, what is this?" Xiaobao asked again.

Before Li Hu could answer, Shui Maomao's voice came from behind: "Hey! Good stuff! Stubble velvet!"

Li Hu smiled: "You know the goods!"

Shui Maomao touched those velvet antlers, couldn't put it down, as if he couldn't smell blood at all, his eyes were full of greed, but he said, "Take it, take it! We can't afford it!"

Xiao Bao curiously picked it up and compared it: "What is deer antler? Why do these two look the same? Those two are also the same. Oh no, are these three pairs?"

Li Hu explained to Xiaobao what velvet is, and while describing the appearance of the sika deer, he opened a small cloth bag, revealing the off-white stuff that looked like dried mushrooms.

When Shui Maomao saw it, he became even more greedy. He snatched it up, took two or three out of his pocket and looked at it carefully. Can’t afford it? Then don’t touch it!”

But Shui Maomao didn't let go: "Humph! You still want to take away the things from my boat gang?" In the end, he licked the "dried mushroom" and praised: "It's worth it! It's worth it! What a deer antler hat, Just me licking this mouthful is worth two silver coins!"

In addition to the precious deer antler and antler hat, there are also some precious herbs in the bundle.

Naturally, these treasures were not taken away, but they were not given as gifts either, so Li Hu had nothing to beg for.

"Boy!" Li Hu looked at Xiaobao and said, "I came here to treat this old bastard's dental disease for your sake, and you have to take care of it!"

Shui Maomao immediately had a flattering face: "Uh... how about I give you one first?"

Shui Maomao's toothache is a chronic disease that has plagued him for several years. He always says it is a "fire tooth", and it hurts when it gets angry. Drink some cold water and it will be fine.

But the real reason is that his teeth were damaged, after a long delay, the teeth were broken, but the residual roots were still there, repeated inflammations, and the gums were red, swollen and eroded.

And when he was beaten for seeking medical treatment for his mother in the early years, he despaired of doctors.

"It's better to put medicine on the couch to infect the worms, and hope that there will be no diseases in the world". They are all filthy, human-faced beasts!" This is Shui Maomao's evaluation of the doctor.

Li Hu finely ground the antler cap into powder, mixed it with several herbs, and then circled Shui Mao Mao with a silver needle.

Shui Maomao knew that he wanted to treat his own teeth, but he was frightened by the bright silver needle and lost two of his souls: "Grandma! I didn't even blink when I was hacked with a knife, why did I hurt my calf with a needle?" What about twisting your muscles?"

Li Hu selected acupuncture points on Shui Maomao's ears. After a quarter of an hour, Shui Maomao felt half of his face was unconscious, so he pulled out the stumps of the teeth.

He also helped Shui Maomao clean up the wound and oral cavity, and quickly filled the prepared medicinal powder into the rootless cavity.

It was all done in less than a quarter of an hour.

However, Shui Maomao kept his eyes closed the whole time, making the upper half of his face wrinkled into bun folds, and broke the armrest of the wicker chair with both hands, but he kicked his legs straight, with his toes pointing to the sky, Xiaobao I look tired.

Because of being anesthetized, the saliva flowed from the corner of the mouth to the base of the neck without knowing it.

When the silver needles on Shui Maomao's ears were pulled out, the anesthesia still persisted, and he said vaguely, "Don't even try to ask me for money! You pulled out my teeth, so it's good that I didn't ask you for money!"

Li Hu took out a small box from his arms, which contained a piece of ivory that was inch long. He deliberately let Shui Maomao see it, but said to Xiaobao: "See, ivory! I'll grind it out later. One tooth, put it in the mouth, not only is there a lot of teeth, but also does not delay the taste and spicy food!

Boy, do you know that if one tooth is missing, the teeth on both sides will come to fill the gap, and all of them will be loose! "

Xiaobao was curious, then understood, and looked at Shui Mao Mao Le.

Shui Mao Mao's cheeks became conscious, and he put on a flattering face again: "Well, I'll give you two knocks, okay?"

Dental inlays can't be inlaid right away, you have to wait until the root of the tooth is completely inflamed.

I always thought that Shui Mao Mao's body was very weak, but he didn't expect that once the rotten teeth were removed, he would be refreshed. Moreover, Xiao Bao was surprised to find that as the days passed, Shui Maomao's back didn't even hunched!

A month later, Li Hu came again and compared the ground teeth several times in Shuimao Mao's mouth. After trimming, this tooth made of ivory with gold-copper alloy wire was tied to the teeth on both sides to fix it. , there is not one tooth left in Shui Maomao's mouth!
The velvet antler that Li Hu brought last time, took a slice, and then soaked it into medicinal wine. It took Maomao a full month to drink, thinking that the teeth would be ready to drink, but he didn't want to. Li Hu said that he had to wait another month. Otherwise, the medicinal properties cannot be exerted.

Although Shui Maomao had bad words for Li Hu, he remembered this kindness in his heart.

"Maomao, you are becoming more and more immortal now, why don't you write something quickly, such as "Tao Te Ching"?" Xiao Bao suggested.

Shui Mao Mao didn't know, so Xiao Bao pointed at him and asked Li Hu: "Uncle Tiger, do you know me? I guess Mao Mao looks like this!"

Li Hu didn't know why.

Ever since the children entered Xiaobao's academy, their fluffy hair has grown up, and now it can barely be tied up. He looks in the mirror every day to tie his hair tightly, and wraps cotton in a gray veil The bun is fastened on the hairdo, and the bun looks full.

Now that he is no longer hunchbacked, he looks even more stinky, and he combs his hair and beard again, which really makes him feel a little ecstatic.

Xiaobao said: "My mother said that I was born with a bright head, that is to say, he was born with white hair and is also the son of the moon. Then our family Mao Mao is also like this, shouldn't he also write a book?"

Shui Maomao laughed and scolded: "I'm not Lao Tzu, I don't write books!"

Shui Maomao seemed to have been reborn, and he was in good spirits all day long. Xiaobao wanted to return the boat to him, but Shui Maomao waved his hand: "I'm going to go to the north!"

Shui Maomao has always felt that since Xiaobao has opened up both the waterway and the land route in the south, there is also a waterway in the north, so it is bound to be opened up as well, and it is necessary to make good contact with the poor family.

In addition, the last time the poor family helped Xiaobao to make Zhang Yushi notorious, Shui Maomao thought it was a good idea, he wanted to go north in person, learn from others how to do it, and come back to teach this huge boat gang.

"Your mother has no one in court, no one can help her keep an eye on the movement, so someone must help her control the situation?" Shui Maomao said.

*Note: Deer antler is the newborn young horns of sika deer and live red deer with fluff. It is a very valuable medicinal material, and sika deer antler is the best.

Antler cap: After the sika deer or red deer harvest antlers, the platform-shaped horn disc left on the head of the stag gradually ossifies. When the horns are replaced, the horn and the horn disc are separated and broken. It is a good anti-inflammatory drug.
