It is said that there is Zhang Banxian in the capital, who is very accurate in fortune telling, so he is famous all over the world. There is an endless stream of people who come to him every day to solve problems, and most of them come in with a sad face and go out with a spring breeze.

That morning, as soon as Zhang Banxian opened the door, a person who looked like a scholar walked in. Zhang Banxian lowered his head and lit his cigarette bag, without even lifting his head, and habitually asked, "If there is anything difficult, please speak frankly."

Unexpectedly, the person who came shook his head and said, "There is nothing difficult, but there are happy events."

Zhang Banxian couldn't help but raise her head and looked at the person who came for a while: "If there is a happy event, you can just be happy at home by yourself, what are you looking for me for?"

The person who came said that he was a village doctor who had recently served as an errand in the palace and was favored by the emperor. Yesterday, a eunuch sent a message that the emperor would meet him the day after tomorrow, not only to reward him with a sum of money, but also to do it for an official. He was not at ease with such a big benefit, so he came to Zhang Banxian to ask for good luck and bad luck.

Zhang Banxian became interested and made an exception to show the visitor a seat: "I would like to hear the details."

He decided to become a good doctor instead of a good doctor. He took out the energy he had used to study medicine in the past, and he read many medical classics thoroughly. Then he worshipped an old Chinese medicine practitioner in the town and honestly became an apprentice for three years.

Unexpectedly, half a month ago, Bai Xiu was brought into the palace, and the peaceful days were broken.

It turned out that the prince in the palace had a strange disease. He didn't eat or drink, but his stomach was bloated like a drum. Hundreds of medicines were ineffective, and the imperial doctors were helpless.

Bai Xiucai had a good reputation in the local area and was recommended to the emperor by the county official. After entering the palace, Bai Xiucai knew that treating the prince was like walking on thin ice, and if it was not done well, his head would fall off. A few colleagues in front of her had already been killed, and Bai Xiucai also hung her heart high.

On this day, it was Bai Xiucai's turn to see the disease. As she approached the sickbed, she found that the five-year-old child was dying and her life was hanging by a thread. After a while, Bai Xiucai had a cold sweat on his head. Although she tried her best, she did not understand what disease the crown prince had.

Of course Bai Xiucai didn't want to die, and planned to go back to the living room to meditate behind closed doors and solve the strange disease of the prince. But if you don't tell the ugly child after seeing the disease, the eunuch won't let you leave at all. Bai Xiucai had to say to the eunuch: "As the saying goes, medicine is like using soldiers. How to arrange troops and strategize, please give me some time."

The eunuch said, "The Crown Prince's illness can no longer be delayed. You only have half a day!"

If you can't come up with a cure to bring back the dead after dark, you can only wait for death. Therefore, Bai Xiu couldn't calm down at all when she returned to her stay, so she had no choice but to walk out of the door and walk aimlessly in the harem. The garden of the harem is so big, and all kinds of flowers are colorful and colorful.

Bai Xiucai was in a bad mood and didn't have the mood to watch, just strolling on the flower path. Suddenly, a mushroom blocked the way, making Bai Xiucai's eyes wide open. The mushroom was the size of an umbrella, cutting off a flower path at the waist. Bai Xiucai had never seen such a huge mushroom, so she couldn't help but stop and watch. The color and texture of the mushrooms were the same as those usually picked by the forest and ditch, but the difference was that they were surprisingly large.

Looking at it, Bai Xiucai's heart lit up. As the saying goes, monsters cure strange diseases, but the prince's disease is incurable, so why not treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor? Seeing that he is dying, why not give it a try? Anyway, this mushroom can't cure illness or eat death. Thinking of this, he found a broken tile and dug up the big mushroom. The root of the mushroom grows on half an old wooden comb, which may be that the women in the palace usually like to dip their hair in vegetable oil. The wooden comb was soaked in vegetable oil and fell to the ground after being discarded and became fertilizer, which made this mushroom grow so fat.

Bai Xiucai boiled a pot of soup with big mushrooms and fed it to the crown prince himself. Strange to say, the crown prince just drank half a bowl of mushroom soup when his stomach suddenly rumbled, and he had diarrhea before he could get out of bed. In the pile of filth, there was a ball of stuff, which was round and slightly smaller than an egg. Bai Xiucai thought to herself that it might be this ball of stuff that blocked the intestines, which caused the crown prince to forget about food, bloated and thin. Using a knife to cut open the ball of stuff, it turned out to be a ball of hair. Bai Xiucai couldn't understand, how could there be a ball of hair in the crown prince's stomach? Why was half a bowl of mushroom soup washed down? Bai Xiucai was still puzzled, the crown prince had already recovered and kept asking for something to eat.

So the prince's illness was cured by Bai Xiucai? There was jubilation in the harem, and soon someone reported the good news to the emperor. The emperor waved his hand and said that since the prince had been found by Bai Xiucai, let go of the other quacks who were going to kill him earlier.

Bai Xiucai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and several doctors behind him knelt on the ground, thanking Bai Xiucai for saving his life.

Bai Xiucai said, "I don't understand. How could a big mushroom cure the Crown Prince and save the lives of many of our doctors?"

As soon as Bai Xiucai's words fell, he picked up the stubble: "Why can't you understand? As soon as the crown prince left his mother's womb, he was held by a group of palace maids in turn. The palace maids are all young and green like clouds. The crown prince may like to play with the blue silk of the palace maids, and inadvertently ate sections of hair into his mouth, and over time, the hair formed a ball. As for the reason why the mushroom soup can lay down the hair ball, it is not the mushroom, but the root of the mushroom is on the half of the wooden comb. What is the use of the wooden comb? Comb your hair! Yes, comb your hair, and with a light comb, you will comb off the mess!"

There might be some truth to this statement, but Bai Xiucai still couldn't understand anything: "How did this good thing happen to me, and I cured the prince's illness?"

Zhang Banxian smiled and said, "What's wrong? It should be God's will."

Bai Xiucai was puzzled: "As a rural doctor, how can I dare to work hard?"

Zhang Banxian said, "Healing and saving people and relieving people's suffering are immeasurable merits."

Bai Xiucai shook his head and said, "That's the duty of a doctor, just like a farmer who must grow good crops and talk about merit!"

Zhang Banxian asked, "Think about it. During your medical practice, have you ever done acts of righteousness, kindness, or even feats?"

Bai Xiucai waved his hands again and again: "Outside of my position as a doctor, I did not do the'three moves' you mentioned. On the contrary, I slapped a patient's family because I was insulted!"

Zhang Banxian said, "Oh, you weak scholar, actually hit someone? Tell me."

Bai Xiucai said that one day, when he went out to practice medicine, he was stopped by a daughter-in-law on the way and invited Bai Xiucai to his home to treat his husband. Bai Xiucai didn't think much of it, so he walked into a small farmhouse with his daughter-in-law. Arriving at the sickbed, Bai Xiucai looked at the man on the sickbed and couldn't help but sigh secretly. The patient was already terminally ill.

At this time, the little daughter-in-law said, "I'll go and clean up the study at the back, and Mr. will go over to write a prescription later."

Since there is a study room, the patient is also a student. Bai Xiucai decided to do everything in his power to cure his illness. After the diagnosis, Bai Xiucai came to the study, but she couldn't help but be shocked. There is a small bed in the study, and the little daughter-in-law has a jade body, beckoning Bai Xiucai infinitely charming. Bai Xiucai has traveled south and north, and has seen many things in the world, but he can't tell for a while what peach-colored traps are waiting for him in this backcountry. He was slightly stunned and asked quietly, "What do you mean?"

The little daughter-in-law actually jumped up and hugged Bai Xiucai: "Please save my husband's life!"

Bai Xiucai quickly pushed it away and said, "You asked me to come and see a doctor, but I didn't refuse."

The little daughter-in-law's warm body clung to Bai Xiucai: "But my family is useless and can't afford the medicine. So I am willing to devote myself to sleeping in exchange for a panacea."

Bai Xiucai said, "For those who can't afford the medicine, I can not charge any fees. Let go!"

The little daughter-in-law did not let go, but hugged even tighter: "I don't believe that pies will fall from the sky. Only by changing my body for medicine will I feel at ease."

Bai Xiucai felt insulted, raised her hand and slapped her daughter-in-law heavily, and the daughter-in-law released her hand. Bai Xiucai brushed and wrote a prescription: "Hurry up and get the medicine and see if I charge a penny!"

Bai Xiucai did not break his promise and gave away the medicine for half a year until the husband of the little daughter-in-law recovered.

Before Bai Xiucai could finish speaking, Zhang Banxian stood up and said respectfully, "You have the art of Qihuang, but you don't take advantage of the danger of others. Such a high wind is worthy of being a model for the world. As the saying goes, people are doing, and the sky is watching. Many things in the world seem to be accidental, but they are connected by cause and effect in the dark." Bai Xiucai even said that she was ashamed and ashamed.

Zhang Banxian said: "Since it is God's will, you don't have to refuse the emperor's reward. Whether it is an official position or money, there is only one use in your hands, and that is to do the right thing for heaven."

These words untied the knot in Bai Xiucai's heart, and the sadness when he came gradually dissipated.
