Practicing business and practicing medicine

Chinese medicine treats diseases by using the Five Elements dialectics. Some patients are born with inharmonious Five Elements. Wearing bracelets made of certain medicinal materials can indeed achieve certain therapeutic effects. Bian Mu once tried to prepare some medicinal bracelets and put them in the clinic for use. After searching for a long time, he never found the right medicinal materials, and forgot about them.

After buying the health sofa, Bian Mu raised his nose and sniffed it. There was still a lot of medicinal smell. If he disassembled it inside and out, he could make a dozen bracelets!

Remove all fabric structures, peel, remove mortise and tenon parts... Anyway, he had nothing to do, so Bian Mu disassembled it slowly...

Camphor wood, red sandalwood, pistachio wood... The more he disassembled, the happier he was. Although they were all corner woods, the wood was first-class, and the spatial matching between various medicinal woods was obviously the work of an expert.

Obviously, the so-called doctor named Yuan who was instructing the carpenter to work might be Zhao Xicheng's uncle...

Just as he guessed, Director Yuan's medical skills were at least not inferior to Zhao Xicheng's.

"Eh?! What is this? It's a bit soft..." Realizing that the touch was not right, Bian Mu found that there was something unusual inside the backrest of the sofa.

Bian Mu was very cautious by nature. God knew whether the thing he had just touched was harmful, so he got up and walked to the closet to find a pair of surgical latex gloves and put them on and reached out to explore again.

"It seems to be something that was specially filled before, a medicine pad? A medicine bag?! To enhance the efficacy! Doctor Yuan is really extraordinary. It seems that Doctor Yuan has a close relationship with the old owner. This is a health-preserving sofa made for the symptoms!" Thinking of this, Bian Mu took out the bag of things that were not thrown away.

Oh! The burlap bag, young city dwellers have never seen this kind of cloth, but Bian Mu is not unfamiliar with it. It is made of two-sided weaving technology. One side is made of ramie raw materials, which is rough and not tacky. The new cloth is easy to pull when touched by hand. However, the interesting thing is that this thing becomes soft when it sees water, and the hand feeling is no longer prickly; the other side is woven with coarse cotton yarn, which feels more comfortable.

Bian Mu knows that this kind of burlap is the most moisture-proof. He has seen his father use this kind of cloth to wrap more important mechanical parts, and often smear some butter on the innermost part, which has excellent anti-rust effect.

The burlap bag is tied very carefully with red hemp rope, and there are seven or eight flower buckles in the middle. It is obvious that it is made by a meticulous person.

Curious for a moment, Bian Mu found a pair of scissors, put on a disposable mask, and went to the north balcony with the thing in his hand, opened the two windows, and he had to ensure that the air could circulate smoothly.

The scissors are very sharp, and they cut all the ropes with a few strokes.

Gently peel off the layer of linen bag, hey! There are two medium-thick and medium-length bamboo tubes inside, Xiangfei bamboo, which also grows on the back mountain of Cuiwei Mountain. It is of excellent quality. Bian Mu remembers that a craft and art factory rented a lot of that area, and some of them were used to make musical instruments such as flutes.

In addition to the bamboo tubes, there were no other objects in the linen bag.

Bian Mu's curiosity grew even stronger.

He picked up a bamboo tube and looked at it carefully for a long time. Both ends were sealed tightly, with lead bullets. In the past two years, the younger ones have never seen this kind of sealing method. It is a bit heavy, no need to ask, there must be something hidden inside, Bian Mu thought about finding an old kitchen knife to split it in half.

"Wait! This thing is obviously made by a meticulous person. Wouldn't it be a pity to destroy the things inside with a knife?!" Thinking of this, Bian Mu changed his mind.

Bian Mu shook it gently a few times when he brought it to his ears. It was definitely not filled with liquid. The entire space was basically filled up, and no special noise could be heard.

Bian Mu found a screwdriver and tapped the bamboo tube for a long time. There was no response from inside. His ears were much more sensitive than those of ordinary people. He guessed that the things inside were definitely not metal products, nor powdery things.

Bian Mu always had a very delicate magnifying glass on hand. He took off his left hand glove, went to the study, took the magnifying glass and carefully examined it under the lamp for a long time...

"There is a dark pattern in the shape of the word 'hui', which goes all the way to the bottom... Then... if you divide the top and bottom by two, there should be a symbol in the middle. Look! There is a mark, oh! It is still the word 'A'. What about the bamboo tube? It can't be the word 'B'?" Thinking of this, Bian Mu walked quickly to the balcony and picked up another bamboo tube to check it carefully.

At the same position, another bamboo tube was engraved with a character "A", but the direction was reversed by 180 degrees, in the opposite direction of the character "A" on the previous bamboo tube.

"Looking at this, I have to connect the two bamboo slips, and try to make the tails of the character "A" all face outwards." Thinking of this, Bian Mu put on his gloves again, connected the two bamboo slips head to head, and adjusted them repeatedly several times, and the long stroke between the two "一" characters was spliced ​​into a "一" character.

At this time, Bian Mu found that two grooves were carved on the inconspicuous place at the top of the bamboo tube, a short point, one was engraved in the negative method, and the other was engraved in the positive method. The two looked like a pair.

With an idea, Bian Mu used one of them as a screwdriver and gently pried along the other groove a few times.

"Plop..." There was a soft sound, and the rotten lead sealing pill that had been forcibly knocked into the top of one of the bamboo tubes rolled down to the floor. The sound was dull. It must be made of pure lead. The residents on the floor downstairs also rented They live in the same house as a young couple, not many years older than Bian Mu. They are office workers. Bian Mu usually tries not to make any noise so as not to annoy the neighbors downstairs.

After thinking about everything, Bian Mu thought a little, and then pried off all four lead-sealing pills.

At this time, Bian Mu discovered that a very even gap had cracked at the top of the bamboo tube. It looked like it was man-made. There was a steel wire wrapped in the gap that was difficult to identify with the naked eye.

"Wow! What kind of treasure is hidden inside! Is it sealed so tightly?!" Suddenly, Bian Mu became very suspicious.

Under the magnifying glass, Bian Mu found the thread of the steel wire and fiddled with the small screwdriver along the opening a few times before opening it...

…

Once the four extremely fine steel wires are removed, the bamboo tube will naturally be divided into two halves. There is a roll of something inside, with a layer of waterproof drawings wrapped on the outside. That was a thing from decades ago, and it is already long ago. It has disappeared from the world.

Gently open the waterproof and sun-resistant drawings layer by layer, oh! There are several sheets of parchment and mulberry paper folded inside.

"Holy crap! Treasure map?! Could it be that... there is really an astonishing gold mine on Cuiwei Mountain?!" Thinking of this, Bian Mu's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

With Wu Fenglan's previous foundation, Bian Mu's first reaction was completely normal.

Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Bian Mu was not in a hurry to spread it out and take a look. He chose to go to the shabby little sofa and continue rummaging...

Okay! Later, I rummaged through and found 12 identical bamboo tubes!
