Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 19

family heirloom?
Hearing these three words, Wang Chen and Zhang Hu were a little surprised at first, and then looked at the thing in Liu Shitou's hand with curiosity.

It was a rectangular box.

From the mottled red paint on it and the latch set on the edge, it is easy to tell that this box is very old and has probably been there for many years.

Zhang Hu looked at Wang Chen and asked curiously: "What is in here?"

Wang Chen scratched his head in confusion: "I don't know either, and I've never heard grandpa mention this box."

After speaking, he looked at Liu Shitou: "Brother Xiaowu, when did my grandfather give you this box?"

Liu Shitou put the box in front of Wang Chen and said: "One month before your grandfather passed away, the day seemed to be like today. It was raining lightly. I just came back from working in the town and happened to see your grandfather standing at the entrance of the village. .

At that time, your grandfather was already ill. I pushed the cart and ran over quickly, asking him what he was doing standing there, and he said he was waiting for me.Later, he gave me this box, saying that he was about to leave and asked me to hide this box until you graduate and return to the village, and find a suitable opportunity to give it to you. "

Wang Chen frowned: "But why doesn't Grandpa give it to me personally?"

Liu Shitou said: "Maybe you are worried that he will be dead when you come back, or that he will be completely confused when you come back?"

Zhang Hu also said: "This must be the reason. After your grandfather became ill, he was often confused and sober. Especially during the last period, sometimes he didn't even recognize me. So he should be taking advantage of it while he was still awake. Let’s make arrangements for the funeral in advance.”

Hearing these words, Wang Chen was a little sad.

When my grandfather died of a serious illness, he happened to be preparing for the exam. After he hurried back after the exam, his grandfather had breathed his last. At that time, he was speechless and just grabbed Wang Chen's hand and smiled at him. He laughed and then died.

The death of his grandfather gave Wang Chen a big blow. He felt that he was very unfilial and even felt depressed for a long time. Later, he recovered with the comfort of Zhang Hu and Liu Shitou.

At this point in his reverie, Wang Chen looked at Liu Shitou: "Besides giving you this box, did my grandfather say anything else?"

Liu Shitou said: "Your grandfather said that the contents of the box are very important and you must take good care of them. In addition, he also hopes that you will take the contents and become a promising man."

After saying this, Liu Shitou patted him on the shoulder: "Besides, there is one last sentence."

Wang Chen asked: "What?"

"He said, don't bear grudges against your parents."

Hearing this, Wang Chen suddenly froze.

He vaguely remembered that one summer when he was three or four years old, his parents said they were going out to work. Before leaving, they took away many things from home and told him they would come back during the Chinese New Year.

However, Wang Chen waited and waited for several springs, summers, autumns and winters, and several Spring Festivals but still did not see their return.

Later, he asked his grandfather if his parents didn't want him anymore.

Grandpa touched his head and said with a smile: "How could you not want it? Your parents have gone out to work to make money. When they save enough money for you to marry a wife, they will come back."

Grandpa's words gave Wang Chen hope again.

Even if my parents seem to have disappeared from the world without any news, even if there is no letter or phone call in more than ten years.Deep in his heart, he still imagined that one day, they would return to him.

Now, the last words left by his grandfather were equivalent to breaking his fantasy.

It was almost telling him that his parents would never come back and they didn't want him anymore.Let him not hate.

At this time, Wang Chen didn't know whether he should hate him or not.

He said he hated him, but he couldn't hate it. After all, his life was given by his parents.

He said he didn't hate him, but it made him inexplicably annoyed. His parents just ignored him, but they actually ignored his elderly grandparents.

"Don't think too much. You've managed to survive without them for so many years." Zhang Hu patted him on the shoulder and consoled him.

Wang Chen wiped a few tears from his eyes and picked up the box next to him.Looking at the tightly closed bolt, he asked: "Didn't Grandpa give you the key?"

Liu Shitou shook his head and said, "He didn't give it to me, but he said the key was with you."

"On me?" Wang Chen raised his head blankly, and then hurried to the side as if he thought of something.

Throwing the clothes he brought back aside, he found a small sachet.

This was given to him by his grandfather when he left the village to study in the city. It was said that there were several kinds of herbs in it, and he was asked to wear it not only to ward off evil spirits but also to repel mosquitoes and awaken his mind.

Originally he always wore it, but later his classmates always laughed at him for being old-fashioned, so he took it off and put it in his luggage.

He opened the sachet and poured out all the contents. Apart from the three shriveled herbs, there was indeed a small copper key.

Click!

He inserted the key into the lock and heard a crisp, subtle sound as the lock opened.

At this time, Zhang Hu and Liu Shitou both gathered around.

Wang Chen took a deep breath.With mixed emotions, I opened the lid of the box.

Soon, the contents inside appeared in front of them.

There are two books and a jade pendant. To be precise, it should be a broken half of the jade pendant, because you can clearly see that the lower edge of the jade pendant is uneven, as if it has been broken.

Zhang Hu subconsciously wanted to reach out, but was stopped by Liu Shitou. Liu Shitou shook his head at Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu thought for a while and looked at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, you are the closest people to me in the village now, you can see these things."

Zhang Hu did not reach out to take it again.

Wang Chen smiled and picked up the two books first.

Both books are on brown kraft paper.

The sides are not glued, but tied with hemp rope, which looks very ancient.

There was no writing on the book cover, so Wang Chen opened the first page of the first book.

It has the word 'acupuncture' written on it.

Wang Chen continued to scroll back. The first content was probably some very detailed acupuncture point maps and the introduction of these acupoints, and the later content was probably some introduction to acupuncture techniques.

Although he only read it briefly, Wang Chen felt that the traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture techniques recorded in it were more detailed than what he had learned in school, and there were many that had not appeared in textbooks.

Then, he opened the second book.

The second book has the words "One Hundred Medicines, One Thousand Diseases" written on it.

He flipped through it briefly. It contained various herbal medicines and their effects, followed by introductions to many diseases.

The more he read, the more excited he became, because the things recorded in it were simply treasures for those who studied medicine.

If he learns all these, Wang Chen's medical skills can improve many times.

However, a big question also appeared in his mind.

In his memory, his grandfather was an old man farming. How could he have such a treasure?
