The limp langzhong has a wealthy family and has opened several large medicine shops. Every time it is cold, everyone will put away the air-dried aurantium, tangerine peel and other medicinal materials and wait for the limp langzhong to collect them. The limp langzhong knows medicinal properties, understands pathology, and can cure some difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Therefore, the villagers respect the limp langzhong. Li Erguai at the entrance of the village not only provides the limp langzhong with a wooden cabinet for storing medicinal materials for free, but also provides the limp langzhong with free food and housing. Therefore, the limp langzhong also trusts Li Erguai.
This winter, Limp Langzhong got wild ginseng from nowhere. Returning to Li Erguai's house in the evening, Limp Langzhong excitedly said to Li Erguai: "Today, let my brother open his eyes." Limp Langzhong was right, Li Erguai really opened his eyes. He held the wild ginseng and turned it over and over for a long time, and his eyes almost fell out: "This thing is very valuable, right?"
The lame man joked, "No matter how valuable it is, you can't sleep with it, right?"
Li Erguai replied, "If you want to hug him to sleep, it's not my turn!" With this, he returned the wild ginseng to the lame man. The lame man was so frightened that he hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch it, put it in his pocket, and put it away.
At dinner in the evening, Limp Langzhong was happy, so he drank a few more glasses of wine with Li Erguai's daughter-in-law's fat intestines stewed. After a few glasses of hot wine, Limp Langzhong felt his head swell, so he told Li Erguai's daughter-in-law that he would not go out to receive the goods tomorrow, nor would he ask him to have breakfast. He wanted to sleep in.
Sure enough, at noon, the limp lame out of bed lazily under Li Erguai's repeated calls. He pulled up his pants and went to the latrine, turned back to the wing where the medicinal materials were kept, and planned to take a look at the wild ginseng that had just been collected yesterday. The limp lame did not look at it, and when he saw it, beads of sweat the size of a bean appeared on his forehead. The pocket containing wild ginseng lay flat on the ground, but the wild ginseng in the pocket did not know where it was going.
Asking Li Erguai, Li Erguai was also sweating profusely in a hurry and said, "Brother, how can I afford to lose such a valuable thing?"
Asked Li Erguai's daughter-in-law, Li Erguai's daughter-in-law asked the lame man, "Can that thing be eaten?" The lame man frowned and said, "Of course it can be eaten, the sweet one has a slightly bitter taste." Li Erguai's daughter-in-law stomped her feet and said, "It's over, the donkey egg from Simazi's house in the east of the village just came, did he take it to eat?" The lame man ran out in a hurry when he heard that. He saw a child under the haystack from afar, chewing something with relish. The lame man rushed up in blood, and he was not angry. He ran over and grabbed the donkey egg by the collar and scolded, "Rabbit, you dare to eat such a precious thing?"
Donkey Egg had never seen such a battle before. He opened his mouth and bit down on the hand that grabbed his collar, and the limp hand loosened, and Donkey Egg turned and ran away. The limp held back the pain, put his hand to his nose and sniffed, and there was a faint wild taste. "Don't run!" The limp shouted at Donkey Egg, "Come back quickly!"
Donkey Egg did not listen to Lame Langzhong's greeting at all, clutching his stomach with one hand and running up the mountain with all his might. Lame Langzhong had to follow along and run up the mountain with a limp. Here, Li Erguai also rushed over in a hurry, grabbed Lame Langzhong and said, "You've eaten it all, why are you rushing him? Let's go find Simazi and ask him to pay you."
Lame Langzhong stared at Li Erguai, frowned, shook his head and said, "No, I must chase him away."
"What's wrong with you chasing him? Could it be that you still want to suck his blood?" Li Erguai grabbed the limp and didn't let go.
The lame man struggled and nearly tore off half of his sleeve. "I just want to suck his blood," he said angrily as he rolled up the torn sleeve. After saying that, he limped to the donkey.
"Alas, this donkey is in big trouble!" Li Erguai sighed to himself and shouted at the back of the limping lang: "I'm going to inform Si Mazi!"
Li Erguai finally found Si Mazi, and Lame Langzhong and Donkey Egg had already circled the two mountains for several circles. As soon as Donkey Egg saw Si Mazi, it was like seeing a savior, and quickly hid behind Si Mazi. Si Mazi grabbed Donkey Egg and slapped him twice, then kicked Donkey Egg's leg and scolded, "Kneel down, you unsatisfactory prodigal son! What do you want me to pay for?" Si Mazi's face was bitter, his eyes blinked with two lines of turbid tears, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop."
Seeing this scene, the lame man who was one step late couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't care that he was still panting heavily, he hurried forward to help Si Mazi up, and asked with a smile, "Fourth brother, what are you doing?"
"Brother, it's all my fault for being helpless!" Simazi snot and cried, and his voice was extremely bleak, "Your wild ginseng, I can't afford to pay even if I go bankrupt!"
"Fourth brother, what are you talking about?" The lame man rolled his eyes, patted Si Mazi's shoulder and said, "Let me tell you the truth, my wild ginseng is fake!"
"Fake?" Simazi and Li Erguai couldn't help but exclaim in unison, and then they both let out a long breath.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The lame man hurriedly smiled and said, "I just wanted to scare the children, but I didn't expect to scare you."
Seeing that it was a false alarm, Si Mazi pretended to be angry and kicked the donkey egg, pulled the donkey egg in front of the lame man, and said sternly, "Even if it's fake, brother, you have to help me teach this bastard a lesson." The lame man looked at the donkey egg carefully, put on a straight face and said, "Okay, just give him a little punishment..." With that, he knocked on the door of a house on the side of the road and asked the owner for two large radishes. The owner didn't know why, and the radish was a common dish that every family would store for the winter, so he took two radishes from the vegetable cellar. The lame man handed the radish to Si Mazi, "Go home and wash it, and let the child eat it raw." Simazi looked at the lame man in confusion, didn't dare to ask any more questions, pulled up the donkey and hurried away.
In the evening, Simazi brought a pot of fragrant dog meat, knocked on Li Erguai's door, and asked, "Where's Brother Langzhong?
"Brother Langzhong has already gone back to Bozhou." Li Erguai did not allow Si Mazi to enter the house and only asked, "Have you eaten the two radishes?"
"Isn't that just scaring the kids, do you really eat it?" Si Mazi said with self-mockery, "Let his mother stew dog meat."
"It's all stewed?" Li Erguai shouted in shock, "Do you know what Brother Langzhong said when he left?"
"What, what did you say?" Simazi asked.
Brother Lang Zhong said that wild ginseng is a great tonic medicine, and it would be difficult for anyone to bear it after eating a whole root, but he chased the donkey egg for most of the afternoon, and the donkey egg ate two raw radishes. I think it should be fine..." Before Li Erguai finished speaking, Si Mazi was so frightened that his hand shook, and a pot of dog meat was spilled on the ground.
In the end, while Donkey Egg was fine, it also shocked Si Mazi.
After many years, Donkey Egg became a famous businessperson. Once passing through Bozhou, he went around the Chinese herbal medicine market and saw a ginseng with a beautiful body, five shapes and full hair in the glass cabinet of a pharmacy. He couldn't help but ask for the price. No one can buy this wild ginseng without a price. "
"What do you mean?" Donkey was a little surprised.
"To tell you the truth, my father was a famous medicine dealer here. More than ten years ago, he was entrusted by an old friend to bring a century-old wild ginseng back to Bozhou, but unexpectedly he lost it on the way home. In order to compensate for the treasure of my old friend, my father rushed to Changbai Mountain, and it took half a year before he was fortunate enough to buy this wild ginseng. He held the wild ginger excitedly and returned to the starry night, intending to pay for it to his old friend. Unexpectedly, my father's old friend passed away three months ago. It turned out that this wild ginseng was purchased by an old friend, but it was not available for a long time. The old man got into a fire and caused an old disease, so he died without medicine. The family of the old friend refused to accept compensation from my father for this wild ginseng, saying that this wild ginseng is the essence of harming people, what is the use of keeping it? My father was helpless, so he put this wild ginseng in a special box and placed it in the cupboard to show his apology to his old friend, and to warn us that we must be loyal to others when we are entrusted by others. "After saying this in one breath, the merchant took a long breath of relief before continuing, ""So, all the other medicinal materials in our store are clearly priced, only this wild ginseng is not priced." "
Donkey Egg listened carefully while nodding. As soon as the medicine dealer's voice fell, Donkey Egg couldn't wait to ask, "Is your father's leg a little lame?""
Donkey Egg stared at Donkey Egg in surprise and nodded. Donkey Egg stared at the drugmaker's face with a serious expression. After a while, he slowly turned around and secretly pinched the beautifully packaged century-old wild ginseng into his handbag.
