Hello, 1983

In the woodcut on the mountain, Xu Dabeard sat quietly at the table, his thin cheeks seemed very calm.

Opposite him, the mute grandpa's fingers rested on the bearded principal's wrist, with the same calm expression.

After arranging school affairs, the bearded principal was invited by Liu Qingshan to a jeep and drove back to Jiapigou.

As for the matter in the county, it was not bad for a day or two. Liu Qingshan called Lao Zhou in No. 1 Middle School and explained it.

The dumb grandpa took a long time to check the pulse this time. Liu Qingshan, Gao Feng and others in the room were all holding their breaths and looking nervous.

Even Xiao Liuzi blinked his eyes, looking at the bearded principal and grandpa, switching back and forth.

She hasn't seen it before, but it took so long for grandpa to check the pulse.

"Old man, it's okay, I know in my heart that death is the only one that has been difficult through the ages, but who can avoid death?"

Principal Xu withdrew his hand gently and muttered to himself:

"I'll be content if I can escape that one more than ten years ago. I've earned it for more than ten years. What else can't I face calmly?"

There was no rhetoric, but Liu Qingshan almost burst into tears.

The dumb grandfather nodded slightly and drew a picture in his hand: "This disease was called rock in ancient times, which means that the tumor will become as hard as a rock."

"It is said in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon that accumulation begins and ends, so what?"

Liu Qingshan understands this a little bit. Cancer is a chronic disease, of course, the sooner it is found, the better. When it is late, there is nothing that can be done.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan asked, "Master, can you have surgery in this situation, Principal Xu?"

The dumb grandfather raised his palm, swayed it gently, and then said:

"If you don't move and take medicine slowly, you can delay its growth. If you use a knife, the reason is probably like stabbing a hornet's nest."

Liu Qingshan also understood that with the current medical methods, surgery is not necessarily a good thing.

At this time, the bearded principal suddenly interjected: "Sir, just tell me the truth, how long do I have to live?"

The dumb grandfather stared at him for a while, and concluded that this person was tough and would not have a mental breakdown, so he raised a slap and spread his fingers slightly.

"Five years, the doctor of the provincial hospital scare me, only one or two years left, five years, enough to do a lot of things, hahaha, ahem."

The bearded principal coughed again.

Liu Qingshan gently patted his back: "Principal Xu, according to my master, you have to insist on taking the medicine for the past five years."

"On the one hand, it strengthens the foundation, and on the other hand, it inhibits the growth of tumors. You can't be obedient. If you're busy, you forget to take your medicine. That's not possible."

Principal Xu nodded and agreed: "Actually, a hundred years of life, starting from the moment of birth, has entered a countdown, but some countdowns are longer. For me, five years is enough!"

The dumb grandpa immediately began to consider the prescription. This prescription is very difficult and must be balanced.

If you nourish your body, cancer cells will also rush to absorb nutrients;

In order to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, some powerful drugs have to be used to fight poison, which will cause damage to other organs in the body.

So the scale here is the most difficult to grasp.

When the recipe came out, Liu Qingshan took a look. There were nearly thirty herbs in total, and it seemed that Master had also spent a lot of thought.

Because you use the main medicine blindly, you often need to match several auxiliary medicines, and also consider the medicinal properties of each other, so the relationship is complicated.

The recipe was handed over to Gao Feng, who was in charge of picking up the medicine. There were several herbs, such as scorpion centipedes and ground turtle insects, which were not readily available.

However, these bugs are all found in the forest, just go and catch them.

Moreover, in the forest here, environmental protection is good, and the medicinal materials produced are of the best quality, including poisonous insects such as scorpions and centipedes, which are more poisonous.

Liu Qingshan asked Lu Xiaolong to send the bearded principal back first, and brought a lot of goose eggs and other nutritional products. After the compatibility is complete, he will send the traditional Chinese medicine.

Then, Liu Qingshan and Gao Feng, along with Master, went into the forest to replenish the medicinal materials.

Xiao Liuzi also carried a small medicine basket on his back and followed behind.

The dumb grandfather trains doctors. In addition to teaching the method of seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting, the first step is to collect and differentiate medicines, and then to use precise medicines.

This point, Liu Qingshan also thinks it makes sense. If you don't understand herbs, how can you use them well?

He knows the process of history. After the reform, with the large-scale invasion of Western medical equipment, Chinese medicine will go through a period of decline of 20 to 30 years, and there will be serious faults in Chinese medicine practitioners.

It seems that if he wants to develop his Chinese medicine career, there are still many things he needs to do.

At least from top to bottom, from training traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to clinical diagnosis, from medical diagnosis to traditional Chinese medicine collection, to form a complete system.

Liu Qingshan thought about it all the way, and then realized that the team had stopped in front of a piece of stone.

I saw that the dumb grandpa drew a few gestures, meaning that he was on the stone, so he still had to capture more.

However, the poisonous insects in this season are also the best time for the medicinal effect to be stored for the winter.

Of course, it was Liu Qingshan who turned the stone over. He saw a boulder weighing two or three hundred kilograms, put it on it with both hands, and lifted it up violently, turning it over directly.

Hearing a cheer from Xiao Liuzi, he stretched out his little hand and pinched a large centipede the length of a chopstick.

The centipede had a red head and an iron back, and its dense feet wrapped around Xiao Liuzi's slender wrists, making his scalp a little numb.

The little guy was still giggling. What she was pinching was the segment of the centipede that was next to the back of the head, so the centipede looked scary, but couldn't sting her.

Gao Feng moved the iron clip in his hand and felt as if he was useless. This little junior sister was much more courageous than him.

The dumb grandfather happily took out a small flower basket, opened the top cover, and told Xiao Liuzi to throw the centipede inside.

He also reached out and touched the little guy's head to show encouragement.

Liu Qingshan quickly turned over another stone. This time, the iron clip of the peak finally came in handy, because there were three or four large centipedes in this nest.

Of course, the most powerful one is the dumb grandpa, who holds one in one hand.

This piece of stone mullet has been turned over, and the harvest is good. There are more than 30 large centipedes in total. This is not counting the relatively small ones, and they have not been caught at all.

Liu Qingshan was sweating profusely. His work was the most laborious. There were a few larger stones, which he and the dumb grandfather pushed together.

Sitting on the stone, Xiao Liuzi handed over the green military water bottle and whispered to Liu Qingshan, "Brother, fry a few centipedes to eat at night, it's delicious."

Judging from her appearance, she must have eaten it before. When Liu Qingshan watched the divine sculpture, there was a scene where the gang leader Hong was eating centipedes, but this thing looked a bit scary.

"Wow, Xiaohongguo!" Xiaoliuzi soon found out that there was a big tree with stubby branches next to Shitoilazi. The tree was covered with small red fruits, dotted with stars, which was really beautiful.

Liu Qingshan smiled and explained to her, "That's yew."

"Can I eat it?"

Xiao Liuzi was eager to try it, but this yew tree is estimated to be hundreds of years old, and the branches are relatively high, so her small arms and calves can't reach it at all.

The dumb grandfather waved his hand, indicating that this kind of fruit is poisonous and should not be eaten casually, but it can be used to make wine.

Then he gestured towards Liu Qingshan for a while, and told him that this kind of wine can make Principal Xu drink a cup every day, and it is also good for curing diseases.

Yew, paclitaxel!

Liu Qingshan's heart suddenly moved, this is a good thing that can extract the best anticancer drug paclitaxel. If it can be extracted and used paclitaxel for Principal Xu, there may be miracles.

However, paclitaxel cannot be refined in China. Should we introduce this technology?

It is necessary, very necessary, the price of paclitaxel is worth more than gold.

As long as their Jiapigou consortium vigorously planted yew and formed a virtuous circle, they would surely make no losses in the next few decades.

The most important thing is that this thing can save lives, life is priceless.

A plan slowly took shape in Liu Qingshan's heart.

Since the yew fruit was helpful to Principal Xu's illness, Liu Qingshan certainly wanted to collect some.

The shelf life of this small berry is very short, and if it is sold in the future, it must be made into a dry product, and the effect is the same.

But since you want to pick the fruit, of course you have to choose the best, at least the yew that is more than a thousand years old, and the fruit produced will definitely be more effective.

So the team continued on the road and started heading towards the oldest yew tree in Liu Qingshan's memory.

Along the way, he collected centipedes and scorpions as he walked, and Xiao Liuzi didn't use any clips to catch scorpions, he started directly.

However, the scorpion's poisonous needle is in the tail, and she directly carried the scorpion's tail and threw it into another basket.

Xiaozui muttered a few times from time to time: "Fried scorpions are also delicious."

Liu Qingshan was also completely speechless: I really don't know who can withstand this little girl when she grows up?

Finally, I came to the yew tree of my grandfather's grandfather's generation and looked up at this towering tree. Anyone would feel their own insignificance.

Not only the small size, but also the vicissitudes of those thousands of years.

Liu Qingshan took out the thread gloves and prepared to climb the tree. The lowest branch was also more than ten meters away.

It's just that the trunk is a little thick, and Liu Qingshan is reluctant to use the pedals specially designed for climbing trees.

Because the inner side of the iron pedals has sharp spikes, which can penetrate into the trunk and give people support.

Although such small thorns are basically equal to zero damage to such a big tree, the yew is too precious, and Liu Qingshan still respects it and does not dare to offend.

In the end, the dumb grandfather replaced Liu Qingshan. I saw the old man's hands and feet were sticking to the tree trunk, and his body moved up quickly. It felt like a gecko was flexibly climbing the tree.

Soon, the dumb grandpa rode on a big tree branch and began to collect small red fruits.

The fruit of yew is not very big, generally only one centimeter in size.

The fruit of this old tree, even if it is big, is only the size of an adult fingernail, and picking it is not easy.

It's not easy to pick it slowly, but you can't cut down the branches. In that case, Liu Qingshan is estimated to be distressed to death.

Although in the future, it will definitely be unavoidable to prune and prune the big trees and get some extra branches to extract paclitaxel, but that will be a matter of the future.

Pruning the branches of trees is also a lot of knowledge, so it is necessary to ask professional guidance.

Grandpa Mute spent more than an hour picking yew seeds from the tree, and then he put down the basket, and he jumped and landed directly.

Yew seed wine, the concentration can be higher, one catty of seeds, two catties of high wine.

Looking at the red and bright fruit, not to mention Xiaoliuzi, even Liu Qingshan has the urge to pinch and taste it.

Helping the mute grandpa to clean his clothes and trousers, the mute grandpa also gestured in his hand: This kind of seed must be full of medicinal power!

That is, the seeds produced by the yew for thousands of years are not an exaggeration to say that they are golden seeds.

The seeds, bark, branches and leaves of Taxus chinensis can all be used to extract paclitaxel, but the bark, branches and leaves, etc. are too destructive, so the seeds are the best, and they can grow every year.

Liu Qingshan felt that after the autumn harvest was over, villagers would be organized to collect yew seeds on a large scale.

After being transported to the wild vegetable factory, it can be dried directly, which will ensure the future entry into the field of biopharmaceuticals.

The troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. This is the truth.

With their yew reserves in Doubaoshan, it is not a problem to harvest tens of thousands of kilograms of dried fruit.

On the one hand, it can be used medicinally, on the other hand, it can also be used to cultivate seedlings and vigorously develop the cultivation of yew.

Liu Qingshan told his master about this plan, and the dumb grandfather nodded in agreement. Of course, he strongly supported the good deeds of curing diseases and saving people.

After learning that Liu Qingshan was going to harvest the seeds of yew, the dumb grandpa gestured again:

"A rare yew forest in the cliff of the soul."

You know, the tree species of yew is very difficult to form a forest.

Just like the yew trees on the bean bag mountain, there is one tree here, one tree there, and dozens of trees together, all of which are very rare.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it. He really didn't go all the way to the hot spring valley, and he didn't know there was such a treasure hidden.

Since the master said that it is a forest, there must be at least a few thousand plants. Liu Qingshan can't wait to follow the master now and go to see it.

But there is no hurry, first prepare the decoction of Principal Bearded, and then soak the yew seed wine.

Because it is a fresh small berry, it can be drunk after soaking for ten and a half days.

The bearded principal himself has a good mentality and a tenacious character. With the help of drug treatment, Liu Qingshan firmly believes that a miracle will happen.

After returning to the wooden house, the dumb grandfather was busy concocting the poisonous insects he caught.

And Xiao Liuzi quietly found Liu Qingshan and whispered to him for a while.

By dinner time, a plate of golden fried scorpions appeared on the table.

Xiao Liuzi grinned and grabbed one for everyone, and then he grabbed one with his little hand, and it was delicious.

Liu Qingshan couldn't hold back, took a bite and tasted it. It felt very crispy and had a strange aroma. It would be the best for drinking.
