Chapter 389 An Unbelievable Case
I couldn't help but ask the old man: "Did that person see you when you were pretending to be a 'Monkey Eagle'? Otherwise, why would he keep staring at the bag?"
The old man shook his head firmly: "This is impossible. As soon as we came out of the cave, I put the 'Monkey Eagle' in the bag. There was no one around. How could he see it?"
Hearing what the old man said, I felt even more strange.
After completing the formalities, we hurried upstairs, but what made the old man and I feel uncomfortable was that the man actually followed us, his eyes still fixed on the cloth bag in the old man's hand.
Although the old man and I felt awkward, we had to let others see it.
It's a coincidence that the old man and I were on the second floor, while everyone else was on the third floor. The Japanese female translator paid for it. Her family is indeed a multinational company, and they are very generous. They all booked hotels for us. The best room, and it’s one per person. Although we don’t think it’s necessary, to be honest, we still think it’s more comfortable and convenient than sharing. In the past, if we booked rooms by ourselves, in order to save money, we would definitely share. Usually Xiaolei and I share a room, Hongmei and Sister Li live in the same room, and my cousin lives alone.
Because after all this trouble, everyone was very tired and wanted to go back to their rooms to take a shower and rest.
After arriving on the second floor, they continued to walk to the third floor, while the old man and I walked to the corridor on the second floor to find our own rooms.
It just so happened that the old man's and I's rooms were next to each other. He was No. 261 and I was No. 262. When we opened the door and were about to enter the room, the man suddenly came over.
"You two, if you don't mind, I have something to ask you," he said in a very humble manner. However, it was a bit unexpected for both of us that he came over to say hello so suddenly. The old man and I looked at each other and said nothing. He nodded politely to him.
Although we didn't speak, the man still took the initiative and said: "Let me introduce myself first. I am in the medicine business and I usually practice medicine. Over the past few decades, I have come to this mountain almost every year to inspect our company. The medicinal materials in the area have also been established in nearby counties. The business is now doing well, exporting to South Korea and Japan. I have traveled to many famous mountains and rivers, but only in the mountains here, the medicinal materials are of the highest quality. , also has the most variety.
The reason why I interrupted you two rudely is because I just saw the old gentleman's bag and found it very strange. When the bag in the old gentleman's hand was close to the "shy tree" in the hall, the shape of the "yin and sunny tree" The tips of the branches will turn slightly red, which is very unusual."
The old man seemed very shocked when he heard what the man said. He quickly opened the door and let the man in. He immediately became polite to the man. The old man didn't show any surprise to me and let me in too. .
The sudden change in the old man's attitude towards that person, and what the person said about the "cloudy trees" turning red, etc., made me confused.
But as for the "cloudy and sunny tree", I do know that it is a unique plant species in our mountains. It is said to be a "tree", but it is not, but a shrub-like plant. This plant has no leaves, only branches. When the weather is sunny, When it is cloudy, its branches will stretch out, but when it is cloudy, the branches will all droop. Because of this, it is called a "cloudy and sunny tree".
Strange to say, this kind of plant can only survive in our area. Once transplanted to other places, although it will not die, its shape will completely change. For some reason, this "shady tree" no longer only has branches. , they will grow leaves, and the shape of the branches will no longer change with the weather.
Many medicinal merchants were extremely excited after seeing this kind of "Yinqing tree" and spent a lot of money to buy it. However, they did not expect that when the area changed, although this "Yinqing tree" could still survive, it seemed to completely become It is another very common plant, no longer a "shady tree".
Therefore, the "Yinqing tree" only exists here, and it is also one of the most famous specialties here.
In the lobby of this hotel, there are many pots of "Yinqing trees", and there are also special nameplates introducing this peculiar plant in detail. Tourists from out of town will stop to observe curiously, and take photos as souvenirs. of.
But for us locals, although it is considered very rare, we all know it after all, so no one pays special attention to it.
After the man entered the house, he gave us both business cards. His attitude was extremely humble and respectful, and his conversation was very elegant, which made us feel very comfortable. However, the old man still did not take out the "Monkey Eagle" from the bag, and the "Monkey Eagle" "Still motionless in the bag.
After the three of us sat down, the man continued: "Seeing that both of you are straightforward people, I will tell you the matter directly. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
Old sir, you may also know that the thing that can make the 'Yinqing Tree' turn red is one of the most precious 'herbs' in the mountains. This plant is called 'Monkey Face Flower'. It is a very peculiar plant. It is said that it The shape is very similar to a monkey head. I have seen this kind of 'monkey face flower' with my own eyes, and I was shocked by its weird shape.
Ordinary flowers are colorful and extremely delicate, but this kind of 'Human Face Flower' is green, and the flowers have clear facial features, which indeed look like monkeys. However, when you look closely, you feel that there is something on this flower. The facial features are somewhat similar to those of frogs, so it can be said that this flower looks like both a monkey's face and a frog's, a mixture of the two.
This flower not only has a strange shape, but also has special curative effects. It is a special medicine for treating various sores, ulcers, and infections.
To digress, my family is a medical family. Some of my ancestors served as imperial doctors in the courts of the Ming and Qing dynasties. I also practiced medicine since I was a child. I also went to Japan to study for eight years, specializing in medicine, so I have a relatively good understanding of medicine. Yes, but as far as I know, so far, even if medicine has developed to such an advanced level, there is still no effective treatment for some sores and ulcers. For example, I once encountered such a peculiar case:
A few years ago, there were three dredgers in Harbin.
One day, as usual, the three of them were working on the river. The work went smoothly at first, but as they were digging, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, they seemed to have encountered something heavy in their mud bucket and could not roll it up. .
The three people quickly went into the water to check.
At first they thought that the dredging bucket might have become entangled in water plants or something like that.
However, when they got into the water, they found that the situation was completely unexpected. There was actually a bomb in the dredging bucket.
The shell was already rusty, and the outside of the shell was severely corroded, but a few lines of Japanese could be faintly seen on it. It turned out that this was an unexploded shell dropped by Japan during the Anti-Japanese War.
The three dredgers thought it was just an ordinary cannonball, so they carried it onto the boat.
But during this process, there was one detail that none of them noticed. Some liquid flowed out from the shells, and the liquid quietly dripped onto their cloth shoes. Unexpectedly, the next day, the three people's shoes Big blisters appeared on my feet and started to fester.
Among them, the most seriously injured one was named Wang Shibao. The terrible thing is that there is no specific medicine to treat this kind of ulcer. He went to all the hospitals in Harbin and Beijing, but he still couldn't control the development of the disease. The severe and unbearable pain forced him to He was given morphine every day to relieve the pain, which eventually festered to the bone. Wang Shibao was tortured to death like this.
It turned out that the artillery shell they dug up was not an ordinary artillery shell, but a "biochemical bomb", which is a very lethal chemical weapon.
But the tragedy didn't end there.
When Wang Shibao's daughter was six years old, she used her father's footbath to wash her feet. However, since then, her feet also began to ulcerate. Like his father, this ulceration was incurable and became more and more serious. Seeing that this young girl is about to follow in her father's footsteps, she may eventually fester and die.
Coincidentally, I happened to have a relative and friend in Harbin who told me about this incident, and there were also related reports on it on TV and in newspapers.
So, I took the ointment prepared by 'Monkey Face Flower' and made a special trip to Harbin to apply it on the girl's affected area. Unexpectedly, this ulcer that had been incurable for many years not only stopped getting worse, but also In just a few dozen days, new flesh gradually grew. I only applied this 'Human Face Flower' ointment to her five times. In about three months, she was basically cured.
You say God is not miraculous.
Of course I am happy to be able to cure this girl's disease, and through this case, I also have a better understanding of the amazing curative effects of this 'monkey face flower'.
Later, a Japanese research institution heard about this incident from somewhere, and came to me specifically to buy my 'Monkey Face Flower' ointment at a high price, but all that ointment had been used up. , I can only politely refuse them.
But they thought I was unwilling to trade with them, so they let me bid whatever I wanted, and said that no matter how high the price was, they would try their best to satisfy me.
But I really didn’t have any, so I couldn’t close the deal in the end.
What surprised me even more was that after a period of time, an institution in the United States also took the initiative to contact me. This shocked me and made me very strange, why are some institutions in the world so sensitive to this kind of drug.
Later, relevant domestic institutions also talked to me. They told me that this 'human face flower' ointment not only has extremely high medical value, but also has immeasurable military strategic value. It can be used to treat and reduce chemical Damage caused by weapons.
Most chemical weapons cause huge damage to people by causing ulcers on the skin and mucous membranes, but this 'monkey face flower' has a miraculous effect on ulcers.
After learning this information, I realized the great value of this herbal medicine. The country also sent many experts to come here quietly to look for this herbal medicine, but in the end they couldn't find it. So, they still entrusted me to look for it. I feel that I have experience in it. I am relatively rich and have a deep medical background. The most important thing is that I know the most about this kind of 'Human Face Grass'.
Unfortunately, I have bad luck. Since then, although I have searched countless times in the mountains, I still haven't been able to find it. The reason why I found the 'Monkey Face Flower' last time was probably pure luck. I just wanted to smoke it. Winning the lottery is the same, but the odds are really low.
