The Rural Life of the Dragon King in the Mountain Village

I heard grandpa continue to mutter: "What is the Zhenzi Jue? I have been studying it all my life but I still can't figure it out... It's too difficult for me!"

Xiao Xingyun almost burst out laughing, this was so embarrassing.

The demeanor of a miraculous doctor can cure the disease in an instant.

Really hammered!

Grandpa is really a charlatan!

Xiao Xingyun's words of admiration were instantly stuck in his throat and he could not spit them out.

No wonder my grandfather’s traditional Chinese medicine skills were not passed down. It turns out that he also clearly knew his true level.

My uncle and father would rather farm at home and earn some hard-earned money than follow my grandfather's example of using traditional Chinese medicine to deceive people.

"Grandpa, are you practicing your medical skills again?" Xiao Xingyun said.

"Yes, you have to live and learn. You young people should also carry forward this spirit! If you don't return to the city recently and move to grandpa, I will pass on the medical skills passed down from our ancestors to you!"

Xiao Xingyun curled his lips secretly: "Is the medical skill passed down from our ancestors? How come I heard people say that my great-grandfather used to be a bandit... ah no, he is the King of the Mountain!"

When he mentioned the past, Xiao Zhengde became excited: "You know what the heck! What happened to the Mountain King? Can't the Mountain King know medical skills? Our Baijiazhai was originally a bandit den. To be a bandit in those days, no one had any special skills, just like

What you young people are talking about...what kind of part-time job!"

"Like Wu Laoliu behind the village, his ancestor was an ironworker. Did he delay becoming a bandit? Lu Dapao's ancestor was a carpenter. When he used to hang out with your grandfather, he was a murderer without blinking an eye!"

Xiao Xingyun regrets very much that he shouldn't have mentioned the past things to his grandfather. As long as he brings it up, he can drag you around all day without repeating it.

It’s not the same thing today, but I’ve said it hundreds of times before, just in a different order.

"Grandpa, eat a peach to moisten your throat."

"Well, these peaches are delicious... Hey, Erbao, please don't leave. Your grandfather went on to tell you that back then, I followed your great-grandfather and often hunted in the back mountains. One day, there was a heavy rain and lightning and thunder.

Your great-grandfather was upset, so he shot an arrow into the sky and shot down a golden dragon. That is the origin of Luolong Lake Reservoir..."

Xiao Xingyun walked to the yard and came back: "Grandpa shot down a golden dragon? Are you serious?"

Xiao Zhengde didn't change his expression, hesitated for three seconds, and said: "What...ahem, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I just heard what your great-grandfather said."

Xiao Xingyun pouted: "Give me a bottle of Erguotou, and I can shoot down nine suns! If you don't want to keep any of them, then give me another bottle of snowflakes! Add a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai, and I can even shoot down the moon for you.

!”

"Go away! Many old people in the village have seen the scene of the golden dragon falling...Give me another peach, my legs will be numb and I can't stand up."

"..." Xiao Xingyun threw another peach to his grandfather, turned around and walked into the yard again.

The yard of my grandfather’s house is also divided into a front yard and a backyard. This is the layout of most houses in the village.

The difference is that the front yard of my grandfather's house is also full of medicinal herbs, leaving only a path paved with broken bricks in the middle.

The backyard is also full of herbs, mixed with some scattered vegetables.

Xiao Xingyun knew all the vegetables, but only a few types of medicinal herbs.

He has known valuable medicinal herbs such as Polygonatum, Gastrodia elata, and ginseng since he was a child, because whenever he had time, he would secretly dig up a few plants and take them home.

For this, I got scolded a lot.

As the youngest grandson of the Xiao family, he was rarely beaten, and his grandparents were reluctant to do so.

Grandma was pickling candied garlic at the door. When she saw Xiao Xingyun coming with a bamboo basket, she smiled kindly and said, "My good grandson, why are you free to come here today? When will you return to the city? Let me know in advance. Grandma will bring you some pickled vegetables and bacon."

go back!"

"Grandma, my peaches are ripe. I'll pick a few for you to try. If you like them, I'll send you a basket in two days."

Xiao Xingyun said, raising the bamboo basket in his hand. In addition to the sweet and delicious peaches, there were also a few cucumbers.

"Hey, why did the peaches ripen so early this year? Calculating the days, you still have at least twenty days before you can eat peaches, right?"

Grandma said, looking up at the two peach trees in the corner of the yard. The peaches on the branches were green and small, only the size of eggs.

"Who knows, the old peach tree in my house may be a little anxious to grow." Xiao Xingyun said nonsense seriously.

"You kid..." Grandma ate the peach and found it delicious. Then she asked about Xiao Fugui's condition and suggested that she go to the hospital in the town for treatment.

Obviously, she didn't believe in her old man's medical skills either.

"It's okay. I no longer have a fever, and the wounds on my feet are scarred. I applied iodine and changed the gauze in the morning. I'll be fully recovered after a few days of rest."

Xiao Xingyun said and was about to leave.

After resting, we have to dig out the drainage ditch in the afternoon so that the water in the pond can be reduced.

My father was reluctant to use a water pump. If he used a water pump, it would be simpler and the problem could be completely solved in a day or two.

Grandma packed a dozen salted duck eggs, some soybean paste, and freshly pickled sugar garlic for Xiao Xingyun and asked him to go back and eat.

When he walked out of the door, grandpa Xiao Zhengde had not yet taken out the silver needle from his leg.

I flipped through the book a little anxiously and muttered: "Should I pull out the left side or the right side first? I just saw it written in the book, why can't I turn it over now?"

He didn't even hear Xiao Xingyun greet him.

"For someone of this level, he still dares to open a medical clinic in the town. Grandpa is very brave!" Xiao Xingyun secretly admired.

The Xiao's Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in the town opens on even numbers on the 246th day of the lunar calendar. Because there are so many people gathering there, it can always swindle a few patients.

He couldn't cure serious diseases, but he didn't cure anyone badly. Xiao Zhengde still had a good reputation in the town, and he was a proper old Chinese doctor.

In the woods ahead, the village's king hunter, Black Tiger, walked out carelessly, holding a cigarette, a translucent plastic bag, and a snake-catching pole.

There were more than a dozen venomous snakes in the bag, all colorful and intertwined. There were also a few vipers with triangular heads. They attacked the translucent bag fiercely, but they couldn't escape.

"Uncle Tiger, you have a good harvest today. There are more than a dozen venomous snakes, which is enough for a drink." Xiao Xingyun greeted from a distance.

Wang Heihu shook his head: "No, no, no, the gang of grandsons who collect medicines in the town are driving down the prices too hard. Some countries don't allow catching snakes, saying they are protecting animals. I can't get those grandsons to lower the prices, and I don't dare to go to the city to sell them! Shit!

As a protected animal, there are so many venomous snakes in our Lingshe Town that tourists don’t dare to visit our town. I can’t wait to catch them all!”

Xiao Xingyun deeply agreed: "That's true. When I was in school in the city, my classmates jokingly called this place a poisonous snake town, and I didn't even dare to invite them over for dinner."

"So, even if I don't make money, I have to catch them all. Only by catching them all can our place become a tourist attraction, open some farmhouses, and everyone's life can be easier. Hey... these unlucky things, what's going on?

honest?"

Since the venomous snakes in the translucent bag came in front of Xiao Xingyun, the venomous snakes huddled up one by one, trembling, and did not even dare to raise their heads.

Here, there are cobras, five-footed snakes, bungaras, golden kraits, and bamboo-leaf green snakes, all of which are famous venomous snakes in the country.

Among them, the five-step snake had the most violent temper. It was grinning and wanted to choose someone to bite, but when it saw Xiao Xingyun appear, it huddled up like a meatball, and it was honest and did not dare to say a word.

"It's good to be honest. It's safe to be honest." Xiao Xingyun vaguely understood some reasons why he still couldn't control the dragon energy in his body.

Under the dragon's aura, snakes and pythons can be coiled up and treated like grandsons.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and were about to leave when they heard Wang Heihu call out to Xiao Xingyun.

"Er Bao, don't leave yet, I have something important to tell you!"

"Ah? What's going on?" Xiao Xingyun turned around and asked with a confused look on his face.
