The Wizard of Medicine

Chapter 5 Regulating Insomnia
After dinner, Yan Zixiu helped clean up the dishes and asked his mother, "Mom, how many carrots and sweet potatoes do we have?"

"There are about five or six hundred catties of carrots, and five or six thousand catties of sweet potatoes. They are all stored in the Westinghouse."

"Do you think the carrots and sweet potatoes tonight are delicious?"

"It's delicious, very delicious, I've never eaten such delicious food. What's going on?"

Yan Zixiu smiled: "When washing carrots and sweet potatoes, I used a high-tech bioregulator developed by my teacher."

"Your teacher who teaches agriculture still has this ability?" Mother was a little puzzled.

When Yan Zixiu heard it, he had misunderstood.He was talking about his master, whom my mother thought was his teacher at the agricultural school.Well, Master is teaching agriculture again.Anyway, Master knows everything, so that's not bad.

He hummed vaguely, and said, "Fruits and vegetables improved with bioregulators are not only delicious, but also have great benefits for the body. I'll adjust a batch of carrots and sweet potatoes tonight and go to the market tomorrow morning. They will definitely sell well. "

Mother said: "Don't you have to peel the corn at night? You are in better shape, so don't get tired."

Yan Zixiu: "There is no need to stay up late to peel the corn. Wouldn't you bring the thresher back tomorrow morning? As long as you are willing to lend the thresher to everyone, you don't have to worry about no one to help. It is estimated that all the corn can be shucked in noon." .”

"Okay. You go to bed early, too." Mother closed the door and the door of the main room, and went to rest.

Yan Zixiu came to Westinghouse with a kerosene lamp in his hand, and took off the plastic sheet covering the carrots and sweet potatoes: "Wuyou, sprinkle the elixir." Carrots and sweet potatoes were filled in half bags.The carrots are about one hundred catties, and the sweet potatoes are two to three hundred catties.

Wuyou asked: "Why do you pretend to be so little?"

Yan Zixiu cried bitterly: "Brother Wuyou, I can't pull it too much. I'm in good health, and I can pull a shelf cart on foot. It's four or five miles away from the market."

"You're not used to using the Qiankun ring. But there are so many people in the market, you can't use the Qiankun ring all the time. It's too shocking. It's not good to be too shocking. Then you can't pull it with humans, so you can pull it with animals."

"Whose family? I don't have one. My uncle's family has a donkey in the west. He is very stingy, how can he be willing to borrow it?"

"Why do you want to borrow it? Isn't it over with the money?"

Yan Zixiu slapped his head: "Oh, I'm used to being poor, and I want to do everything by myself. Yes, I have money, ten thousand yuan. If I can't use him for nothing, my uncle will definitely be willing."

Wuyou smiled and said: "You don't know how rich you are now, and you can't imagine how rich you will be in the future."

Yan Zixiu also laughed: "Haha, please allow me to slowly adapt to the life of a millionaire."

Uncle Ciming was next to Yan's house, with three main rooms, a kitchen on the east side, and a barn.There is a corridor between the kitchen and the main room, which communicates with the Yan family.

Yan Zixiu walked through the aisle: "Uncle, are you busy with tea?" (Country dialect, meaning no dinner)
"Just drink it. Zixiu, are you back?" The uncle is 40 years old, handsome, and is busy working in the barn.The eldest concubine also came out of the kitchen: "Zixiu is back?" The eldest concubine is not tall, with a fat body and ordinary appearance.Back then, because of poverty, my uncle could not afford to go to school and was illiterate, so it was not easy to talk about being a matchmaker.So I had to marry the eldest concubine.It is said that after the first blind date that year, the uncle cried a lot, probably because he felt that he had lost his handsomeness.However, although the eldest concubine is poor, she is very kind-hearted, doesn't care about things, and is poor and generous.Sometimes my uncle scolded her when he was in a bad mood, and even beat her, but she just smiled and didn't care.

"I'm back. Uncle, I have something to discuss with you. Tomorrow morning, I want to borrow your donkey. One is to go to the market to sell something, and the other is to bring back a few corn threshers."

"Borrow a donkey?" Uncle hesitated.

Yan Zixiu smiled inwardly, and said: "It's not purely borrowing, it's helping a friend. Friends are willing to give money, 20 yuan a morning." In fact, ten yuan is a lot, and Yan Zixiu's salary is only three or four yuan a day .

The uncle rubbed his hands together: "There are no outsiders, so how can I pay you back?"

The eldest sister-in-law also said, "That's right, what kind of money should I give?" Unexpectedly, the uncle glanced at her.The eldest sister fell silent.Yan Zixiu knew very well that the eldest concubine really didn't want money, but the uncle was lying to be polite, and Gu concubine was afraid that the falsehood would come true.

Yan Zixiu took out his wallet, took out two cards of Great Unity, and handed them to his uncle: "It's a real deal, uncle, take it first."

The uncle took the money quickly: "Don't worry, I will feed the donkey early tomorrow morning, so there will be no delay."

"Okay. Uncle, sister-in-law, take a rest. I'm going back."

Yan Zixiu returned to the Westinghouse and loaded another hundred catties of carrots and two to three hundred catties of sweet potatoes into the rack cart.Then he took the kerosene lamp to the east room in the east courtyard, where he lived.

Of the four main rooms in the east courtyard, the two rooms on the east side belong to the elder brother and sister-in-law, and the two rooms on the west side belong to the elder sister.My sister just got married, and the house is still reserved for her.Of the two east rooms, the one to the south is the spare kitchen, and the one to the north is where Yan Zixiu and his second brother live together. Anyway, they are all bachelors at the moment, so it doesn't matter.However, the eldest brother, sister-in-law and second brother are not at home, and each has its own job.So Yan Zixiu was alone in the entire East Hospital today.

The wick of the kerosene lamp shines yellow-white light through the glass cover.Yan Zixiu sat at the desk in the east room, full of thoughts.What happened today is incredible.is true?Is it phantom?Tell the truth, how is it possible?Call it an illusion, there are so many real changes.Do you want to go to the Immortal Mansion to verify it again?He thought about it for a while, and decided to go to bed, because he had to get up early tomorrow.

He doesn't want to stay up late now, because with Xianfu, he has confidence.In addition to staying up late for work and study as a last resort, other meaningless staying up late is a manifestation of lack of confidence in tomorrow.

After blowing out the kerosene lamp, Yan Zixiu took off his clothes and lay on the bed, feeling his heart beating up and down without feeling sleepy.Won't you suffer from insomnia again?Over the years, he has experienced a lot of insomnia.At this time, Wuyou said: "Your nervous system is too excited now. Traditional Chinese medicine says that qi and blood float up, and yang does not enter yin."

"What should I do?"

"Like this. You first put your attention on the soles of your feet gently. I'll tell you the next step later."

"Okay." Yan Zixiu gently focused his attention on the soles of his feet, and when his thoughts ran away, he would pull them back, and after running again, he would pull them back again. ...After a while, a worry-free voice came: "Now focus on the abdomen, as you breathe, the abdomen will rise and fall naturally, follow this rise and fall gently." Yan Zixiu obeyed, feeling distracted Fewer and fewer, more and more loose body and mind, more and more empty...

"Gegegen..." There was a sound of crowing roosters, and Yan Zixiu opened his eyes: "Ah, it's dawn. Once you close your eyes and open them, the night will pass? This sleep is really comfortable." He said Look at the watch, 06:30, get up quickly, get dressed, take the washing utensils to the side of the pressurized well, put down the utensils, go to the kitchen and take a spoonful of water, pour it into the pressurized well and start whirring Press water.This spoonful of water is called diversion.Without water diversion, groundwater is not easy to press up.

Mother got up early and was sweeping the yard.While washing his face, Yan Zixiu asked, "Mother, how did you rest last night?"

"Very good. I haven't had such a good sleep in a long time."

"Me too, I haven't had such a good sleep in a long time."

Just as he was talking, the uncle led the donkey and came over from the aisle: "Zixiu, are you up?"

"Morning uncle."

"You wash your face first, and I'll cover the car."

"I've finished washing." Yan Zixiu went over and flattened the rack cart, so that the donkey would be easy to put on it.

My mother asked, "Do you want to eat something first?" In rural areas, people usually work for a while before eating breakfast. In rural elementary schools, they go to school in the early morning and then come back for breakfast.Yan Zixiu's home is four miles away from the elementary school. He thinks back in the morning, noon and afternoon, six times a day, the sun was not seen at both ends, and he traveled tens of thousands of miles just to go to the elementary school.

"No, I'll just go to the fair and buy a couple of biscuits." Yan Zixiu found another fruit knife, took an enamel plate for serving vegetables, filled a thermos bottle of cold water, and put it in the car.Said to the uncle: "Uncle, lend me your scale as well."

"Okay." After a while the uncle brought the scale, led the donkey and pulled the cart to the road outside the yard, "You have to watch the donkey."

"Don't worry. Uncle, how do you sell carrots and sweet potatoes now?"

"Carrots cost fifteen cents, sweet potatoes thirty cents."

"Okay, got it, I'm leaving."

Laowanji is located in the west of Xinliang Village, with an area of ​​four and a half miles.There are fairs on every single day of the lunar calendar, and there are meetings on the ninth, nineteenth, and 29th of the lunar month.Set, from morning to after breakfast.Yes, from morning to after lunch.

Yan Zixiu was afraid that there would be no good place if he came late, so he didn't chat with Wuyou all the way, and hurried on his way.When I arrived at the east end of Laowanji, it was still too late.Good guy, people are everywhere.Looking at the situation, I can't get in either.There was no way, so I found an open space at Jidongtou, found a dozen bricks to pad the front and back of the frame cart, and untied the donkey and tied it to a nearby tree.Then open the mouth of the sack to expose the carrots and sweet potatoes.Things that are moistened by spiritual liquid have a smooth and complete skin, which is quite attractive.He rinsed the enamel plate and fruit knife with water again, washed a carrot and a sweet potato, cut them into small pieces, and put them on the plate. They were red, white, and juicy.With everything ready, he began to yell: "Delicious carrots, delicious sweet potatoes, fresh and sweet, try first before buying, this is a rare opportunity."

I shouted several times, and most of the passers-by looked at it, but they didn't stop.Yan Zixiu wondered, every word I said was the truth, why no one came.Called several times, still no one came.He understood a little bit in his heart, no wonder everyone set up a stall in the market.At the entrance of the village, those who didn’t buy things rushed in, and those who bought good things rushed to leave. The inertia of their actions was too great to stop.

Wuyou appeared and said, "I'll call for you. Hey, delicious carrots, delicious sweet potatoes, fresh and sweet, try first before buying, this is a rare opportunity."

It doesn't matter if you shout, almost everyone looks over, it's really rare that there is a bird shouting.People who have never seen a parrot ask each other, what kind of bird is this, it is so beautiful.Hula, a large group of people gathered around.Yan Zixiu was taken aback, and asked Wuyou in his heart, "How can everyone see you and hear you?"

"I want people to see and hear, so people can see and hear."

Yan Zixiu gave Wuyou a thumbs up: "Please continue to perform."
