Xu Banxian continued, "Throughout Ceng Guofan's life, what we have seen the most is' endurance '. What I want to say is that there are not many people who can do this, including you. "
Lu Yiwei disagreed with Xu Banxian, "Uncle Xu, I have been quiet in North River Town for five years, is this not endurance?"
Xu Banxian shook his head, "It is true that you have been quiet in North River Town for five years, but you did not engrave the word 'endurance' in your heart, but hovered over the blade in your hand. Being an official is the same as being a person. When you are not fully fledged, you must not be arrogant and act blindly without thinking, you must learn to protect yourself. If you reveal your trump card too early, or act hastily when it is not enough to win, you will often lose. The way to win is not in the weapon, but in the person. The weapon is only a tool in your life. When you have enough power to contend with the enemy, you must immediately make your move, and kill the enemy in one move. Only then can you win the overall situation! "
Lu Yiwei nodded, not fully understanding, "What do you mean?"
Xu Banxian said, "Although I do not care about worldly affairs, I do know a thing or two about the county. I know you have always wanted to take down Qin Erbao, but you revealed your trump card too early, leaving enough time for the enemy to prepare, causing you to be unable to take action, and instead fell into the trap yourself, isn't that right? Just like Guo Kaisheng of North River Village, when you were determined to take him down, you must eliminate him to prevent future troubles. But now, this poisonous thorn has begun to shine with new energy, it is very likely to become an obstacle in your path. "
Lu Yiwei carefully recalled every step he had taken, and it was indeed so. He looked at Xu Banxian in surprise, "Uncle Xu, what do you think we should do next?"
"Like I said, we must learn to endure, especially when it comes to Qin Erbao," Xu Banxian answered.
For a long time, Lu Yiwei was still thinking. Xu Banxian did not disturb him, and leisurely played with the big yellow dog …
The process of thinking was also a process of enlightenment. The ancestor of the study of heart, Wang Shouren, could look at the bamboo, and from it, he could understand the philosophy of 'unity of knowledge and action'. As a mortal, it was not that he had achieved enlightenment, but to be able to get rid of the inner demons that plagued him was already a great success.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was still pondering, Xu Banxian interrupted, "Right, why did you look for me today, Yiwei?"
Lu Yiwei came back to his senses and roughly explained Chu Chu's symptoms.
After Xu Banxian heard this, he shook his head and said, "Yiwei, forgive me for my incompetence, but I have never seen such an illness before. I'm afraid I can't help you."
Lu Yiwei was slightly disappointed. "Then do you know who can cure this disease?"
Half Immortal Xu shook his head again.
Lu Yiwei smiled and said, "Fine, I was just asking casually, it's fine. Uncle Xu, I'll stay here for lunch. How about we have a drink? "
"Great! Just nice, I caught a pheasant from the mountains two days ago, I'll go stew it now. " Xu Banxian walked into the cave happily, then took out a brown pheasant to pluck its feathers at the entrance. The big yellow dog dragged its long tongue and wagged its tail while staring at the pheasant with drool.
Lu Yiwei stood halfway up the mountain, gazing at the red mountain that covered the mountains and plains. His mind replayed Xu Banxian's words over and over again, and he habitually took out a cigarette from his pocket.
Cigarettes had become Lu Yiwei's indispensable friend. When he was in university, under the instigation of the black circle, Lu Yiwei lit up his first cigarette, and he could not leave it after that. In the beginning, he was not addicted to smoking, and he smoked at most a pack a week. However, after he started working, especially when he joined the government to write documents, his addiction gradually increased, and he only smoked one pack a week to two to three days. After he was demoted to Beihe Town, his addiction continued to increase, and he could not even finish one pack a day. He also tried to quit smoking, but he did not succeed after several attempts. Niu Fuyong's words gave him some comfort. Niu Fuyong said, how many years do you have in this world? As a man, what's the fun if you don't smoke or drink? Enjoy to your heart's content, as for the future, we'll talk about it later. Later, Lu Yiwei simply gave up smoking.
Quitting smoking, for a man, was a great pain. Unless he had to give up in the face of life and death, most people who quit smoking during other periods of time would relapse, or even worse than before.
"Oh right, Yiwei." Xu Banxian seemed to remember something and said, "I have a method, I wonder if you dare to try it?"
Lu Yiwei turned his head and said, "What method?"
"Bone Penetrating Grass and Musk!"
"… …"
Xu Banxian explained, "I've read medical books about psoriasis, it could be caused by excessive internal heat, or it could be caused by low immunity. Bone Penetrating Grass has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, while Musk has the effect of promoting blood circulation. I remember that my uncle's son contracted psoriasis, and an old TCM doctor treated him with these two herbs. In the end, it was cured. "
"Really?" Lu Yiwei seemed to have seen hope, so he sat before Xu Banxian and asked, "Is it really that amazing?"
Xu Banxian nodded his head. "According to the theory of medicinal properties, these two herbs are harmless, so you can give it a try. However, it will depend on the patient's physique. TCM is different for each person, and it might be effective on you, but it might not be effective on others. "
Lu Yiwei trusted Xu Banxian more, so he pondered for a long time before saying, "Let's give it a try, then. How do I use it? Where can I buy it? "
Xu Banxian replied, "Bone Penetrating Grass can be found everywhere, so I'll find some for you later. As for Musk, I still have a wild one here, and it has a strong effect, so I'll need to mix it with other herbs. As for the usage, mash the Bone Penetrating Grass into a paste and soak it in a bath. Then grind the Musk into powder and smear it on the affected area, so the effect should be good. "
"Can it be done?" Lu Yiwei was a little worried.
"I can only say that it's worth a try." Xu Banxian said, "Psoriasis is a stubborn disease, and it's not impossible to cure it. The key is to prescribe the right medicine."
Lu Yiwei couldn't make up his mind at the moment. After all, Chuchu was Zhang Zhiyuan's daughter. If he made a decision on his own and something happened to her, he wouldn't be able to explain. But if he didn't try, the disease would continue to plague Chuchu, and it would be even more torture. He asked again, "Are you confident?"
"Make your own decision."
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Lu Yiwei finally made up his mind.
After lunch, Xu Banxian was busy preparing the herbs, and it wasn't until dark that he finished preparing the herbs for a week. Lu Yiwei didn't waste any time and rushed home. Before leaving, he gave Chuchu a puppy so that she could have a companion.
In the evening, after Lu Yiwei told his parents about it, Lu Weiguo jumped out and objected, "No! Chu Chu is not your child. If you give others more serious, can you bear the responsibility? What's more, she took her child to all the major hospitals in the country, and none of them were cured. Can you rely on a quack doctor who doesn't know medicine to cure her? That's nonsense! Absolutely not! "
Liu Cuilan also said, "Your father is right. This is not building a house. If it's wrong, we can push it down and start again. This is a matter of life and death. If there's a problem, we can't bear the responsibility. I also don't agree with you doing this. "
His parents were against it, but Lu Yiwei stubbornly said, "How do you know the effect if you don't try? What's more, Uncle Xu said that these two herbs can clear heat, detoxify, and promote blood circulation. It's not harmful to the body. What if it's cured? Look, I've brought the herbs back. "
"No!" Lu Weiguo said firmly.
Lu Yiwei was still stubborn and stubborn, and he insisted on trying.
Liu Cuilan said softly, "If you must try, you should ask her mother's opinion. If her mother agrees, then we have nothing else to say, okay? "
Lu Yiwei compromised and had to call Xie Yufen to ask for her opinion. He thought she would disagree, but she readily agreed and said, "As long as it can cure Chuchu's disease, we can try anything." Lu Yiwei understood that Xie Yufen was anxious, so he repeatedly promised, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will take good care of Chuchu wholeheartedly."
Lu Yiwei once again asked for Chuchu's opinion. Chuchu was still young, so she nodded in agreement. That night, according to Xu Banxian's advice, he gave Chuchu medicine.
Lu Yiwei didn't sleep all night. The next morning, he asked about Chuchu's reaction. Chuchu happily replied, "It's not as itchy as before, but the cortex has begun to soften." After hearing this, Lu Yiwei was very excited. However, that afternoon, Chuchu was so itchy that she rolled on the kang, which scared Lu Yiwei's family.
"Look at you, I said don't try. What should we do now?" Lu Weiguo said with trembling hands.
Liu Cuilan covered up for her son and said, "At this time, don't blame each other. Hurry up and think of a way."
Lu Yiwei called Xu Banxian in panic. After Xu Banxian learned about it, he was worried and rushed over. Seeing Chuchu's appearance, he was also very nervous. After checking the psoriasis on his body, he shook his head and said, "It's not right." Then he asked, "What water did you use to bathe the child?"
"Well water." Liu Cuilan said.
"Is it boiling?"
"It must be boiling."
"What about cold water?"
"Just add cold water."
Xu Banxian seemed to have found the root cause, so he was relieved and said, "This kind of disease is particularly sensitive, and the amount of alkali in the well water is high. I'm afraid it has something to do with it. Tonight, you soak her in the river water. Remember, you can't use cold water directly. You should wait for the water to boil and cool down before it can kill the bacteria. "
That night, Xu Banxian didn't go home. He wanted to observe Chuchu's illness in person. The next day, Chuchu didn't complain about itching all day. Instead, she said that her body was much more relaxed, so the whole family was relieved.
