Chapter 73: Words Can Heal Diseases
Mr. Li respectfully put away these words that calmed him down, then wrapped them in oil paper and silk satin, carefully placed them in a box, and then prepared to go for a walk on the street to relax. He may not have thought that
What is surprising is that he is about to encounter this strange thing, or a major turning point, which may be related to his devotion to words and the activation of his kind thoughts.
His son's stomach still hurts. The old famous doctor did not dare to prescribe medicine because he had never seen or heard of this strange disease. He was still anxious and worried, but deep down, the peace he had just established was indestructible.
, so that he could not be knocked down by these bad lucks, he sent people around to continue to inquire about famous local doctors, and strolled to a restaurant on the street, wanting to drink some wine to relieve the huge pressure.
It happened to be meal time, so there were a lot of people in the restaurant. In order to avoid meeting acquaintances, Mr. Li found a quiet corner and sat down quietly. Suddenly he saw a skinny, dirty old man coming to the restaurant to beg.
After sitting for two tables, they were all driven away in disgust. When the waiter saw it, he yelled at the old man to leave quickly. The begging old man had a miserable face and had no choice but to walk out obediently and accidentally bumped into a diner.
, and was scolded a few times by the diner.
The waiter in the shop saw that the old man was getting angry slowly, and he seemed to be even more angry, so he came over and pushed him while cursing: "You old man, why have you been here for the past two days? You don't know where this old thing came from?
If you don’t get out of here quickly, if you dare to come again, I’ll see if I don’t break your legs.”
When Li Yuanwai saw this scene, he sighed deeply and thought, life is not easy for all living beings. Although rich people like him don't have to worry about food and drink, life is still miserable and rough, and this person in front of him
The old man was even more pitiful. He was so old that he couldn't even have a full meal. He stood up from his seat, walked up to the waiter, handed over a piece of silver and said, "Waiter, this is for you."
, buy a bag of tea and drink it.”
When the waiter in the shop saw the white piece of silver handed over by Mr. Li, his features squeezed together with smiles: "Mr. Li, you are always so generous with your dealings. Hey, what are your orders?" As he said this, he quickly took out the silver.
Take it and put it into your arms.
Li Yuanwai said calmly: "Let this old man sit at the same table with me and eat. I will pay him twice as much as he eats, so don't kick him out."
The waiter smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, you are compassionate." Then he turned to the old man who was begging and said fiercely: "Old guy, you are lucky today. You met our Mr. Li. He is
But we are a well-known good person in this area. Since he has spoken out today, you have made a lot of money."
Then, he immediately changed his face to an extremely attentive smile and said: "Then please sit back, old man, and you can tell me what you want to eat. I guarantee you that your food will be served first." Mr. Li smiled.
He nodded to him.
The old man who was begging for food seemed to be so grateful that he wanted to cry. He bowed to Mr. Li repeatedly and muttered vaguely: "I wish you a long life and great wealth. You are really a kind man." I don't know.
Why, when Li Yuanwai saw the old man like this, he felt very bitter.
But when the old man faced the table full of food, he immediately seemed to have changed into a different person - he had swept away the trepidation, timidity and cowardice before, and started eating as hard as he could, without even using chopsticks, just grabbing it with his hands.
Then he stuffed it into his mouth, sometimes choking and rolling his eyes, but he kept eating, as if he hadn't eaten in a few lifetimes. Mr. Li found it funny and pitiful at the same time.
What's even more surprising is the old man's appetite - I didn't expect that such a thin and dry old man could eat as much as several strong men. A table full of food and wine was quickly wiped out by him, and he just sighed after eating.
It seemed that he was not satisfied yet. Li Yuanwai looked at him and asked softly: "Old man, are you full? Do you want some more?"
The begging old man didn't answer directly. He just grinned his toothless mouth and said sheepishly: "I'm so sorry to have cost you money. I'm just a loser. I can't do anything, but I can eat.
Alas, I can’t change it in this life.”
Mr. Li just smiled faintly, then turned around and ordered the waiter: "Waiter, have another table."
The waiter was a little surprised when he saw that the old beggar was so good at eating. When serving the food, he did not forget to mutter a few words to hurt the old beggar: "You old man, have you ever encountered a free meal?"
You can’t eat it to death.”
Mr. Li just smiled and waved his hand, but the old man who was begging for food pretended that he didn't hear anything and kept wolfing down his food. It wasn't until he had eaten all the food on the second table that the old man burped, and it seemed that he was done.
This time, when Li Yuanwai asked him if he wanted it again, the old man finally said: "You are such a kind and good person, but I really can't eat any more."
Li Yuanwai took out two ingots of silver from his arms, put them in the old man's hand and said: "Old man, take this little silver. It's getting cold. Take it to sell some clothes quickly. If you can save some money, this little silver will be worth it."
It’s enough for you to survive the winter.” After saying that, he stood up and left his seat, preparing to go home.
Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly made a plop, knelt down in front of Mr. Li, and then said with tears: "You are a great kind man, and you will be rewarded with good things. But I am old and frail, and I don't know when I will die.
I have no family, no relatives, and it’s useless to ask for money. If you don’t mind it, I’m willing to be a cow or a horse and serve you.”
Li Yuanwai felt that the old beggar was really pitiful, and saw that the old man looked kind and honest, so he also liked it and sighed and said: "Hey, well, we are destined to be together today. My family has a good relationship."
There are dozens of servants, and it doesn’t matter if you have one more. Just be responsible for keeping watch at night, looking after the door, etc."
The old man lay on the ground and thanked him profusely. So, Li Yuanwai went to the street to have a meal and hired a servant. For some reason, Li Yuanwai suddenly felt extremely warm and calm in his heart, just like when he did good deeds decades ago.
The feeling is the same.
On the way home, he frowned again when he thought about his son's stomachache that no one could cure and the threats he faced from the foreigner. The old man who followed him was even more reluctant to beg for money, and he was quite good at it.
The old man, who was observing people's words and expressions, saw the sad look on Mr. Li's face. The old man asked carefully: "Master, it seems that you are worried about something?"
Mr. Li nodded solemnly and told the old beggar how his son had a strange stomachache and how he had gone to many doctors but was unable to do anything.
Mr. Li didn't know why he said this to an old man who had just become a servant. He just thought that finding someone to talk to would make him feel better.
But something unexpected happened.
After listening to Li Yuanwai's story, the old man just smiled lightly and said: "Master, don't worry, the young master's disease is actually very easy to cure. I am also knowledgeable about medicine, especially for the young master's disease, I guarantee that it can be cured quickly."
”.
After hearing this, Mr. Li couldn't help being surprised. He couldn't help but stop and stare at the old man - the old man looked serious, and it didn't look like he was joking. Could it be that the old man was mentally unstable? So many doctors treated him
No, an old man begging for food claimed that he could cure it! Mr. Li could not convince himself to believe what the old man said.
Seeing Mr. Li's confused look, the old man didn't explain much. He just said: "If the master doesn't believe it, you might as well let the villain try it. You can rest assured that the villain's method will be used to treat the young master. Firstly, no strange prescriptions and herbs are used. Secondly,
I don't need silver needles, and I don't even need to feel the pulse. I just use 'zi' and common medicines to cure the young master."
Using words to treat illnesses? This is really unheard of outside Mr. Li. Don’t believe me. Seeing that the old man has a serious face and a stable mood, it doesn’t look like he is bragging or lying.
As the saying goes, "I'm not afraid that you don't believe in God, but I'm afraid that you don't have patients at home." Once a loved one is seriously ill, everyone will be anxious. If there is a glimmer of hope, they will try it. Although rationally they tell themselves that it is impossible, they still
It is normal human psychology to hope for a miracle to happen.
Mr. Li is no exception. Since he has gone to so many famous doctors to no avail, and his son is suffering in pain, and if this continues, the consequences will be disastrous. Since someone is so confident that he can cure it and will not cause harm to his son, then
Why not try? What if it can be cured?
Out of this mentality, Li Yuanwai decided to let the old man give it a try. But in order not to worry his old mother, as soon as he got home, he asked the old man to bathe and change clothes first, and tidied up neatly. After washing and dressing up like this,
, the old man's whole temperament also took on a new look, he really looked like a kind-hearted old man.
At this time, Yuan Li's mother had not eaten for the whole day. She stayed beside her grandson, caressing his forehead, sobbing and murmuring: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you.
May my grandson be safe and sound. If his life is at stake, take my old life in exchange for it. He is still young, Amitabha."
As for Yuan Wai Li's youngest son, who had been in pain for more than a day, his face was sallow, dazed, and in a semi-conscious state. Several soft-hearted servants nearby could not help but cry secretly with him. As for Yuan Wai Li,
There was still that strange noise in my son's stomach.
When Li Yuanwai saw this, his heart was as sharp as a knife. He suppressed the grief in his heart, pretended to be calm and leaned down, and said softly to his mother who was sitting by the bed, her consciousness already a little numb: "Mom, I just asked
Come to a doctor and ask him to look at the child."
When Yuan Wai Li's mother heard that the groom had arrived, her eyes suddenly lit up and her whole figure came to life. Then she turned around to look at the new old beggar. Li Yuan Wai was about to say something, but his mother suddenly suddenly
He stood up, rushed forward, knelt down in front of the old beggar, and cried uncontrollably: "Sir, please save my grandson, please." Mr. Li saw that his mother was so out of control and in pain, and he
