Within three days, the locust plague, which was classified as an epidemic, was under control.
The relevant departments also went to Yunxi to perform leech treatment.
It seems that the specific method is to mix a large amount of various medicinal powders required for the pills made by grandpa at the source.
Pour into Yunxi.
Moreover, the villages and towns along the Yunxi River did not dare to drink the water from the Yunxi River.
After all, the disaster was so severe that no one dared to joke with their own lives.
Then grandpa also became famous, and the city’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Association sent a letter inviting him to join the association.
Many people even came here because of his reputation, some came to discuss the matter, and some came to seek medical treatment.
It seemed that they had all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.
My grandpa is also a little older than me.
He is a Chinese medicine practitioner, but he is not as powerful as I thought, and he can’t cure all diseases.
It’s just that this time I happened to have the prescription given by an old friend, which happened to be able to treat leech. .
What's more, he didn't want to be too busy with how many patients a person could see in a day, so he hung up the no-war card and only saw doctors one day a week, which was Sunday, and there were only forty places a day, and the numbers started to be allocated at eight in the morning.
That day, grandpa said he wanted to go out to see the situation in Yunxi and asked me to accompany him.
Since I had been hiding in the house reading, he asked me to go out for some fresh air, so I followed.
Yunxi is very long, but we are concerned about the section closest to our farm, because the villagers will complain if they have been drinking tap water for a long time.
What grandpa meant was to see if the medicinal powder sprinkled by the relevant departments had taken effect.
We walked downstream along Yunxi River.
There were many people on the edge of Yunxi River, all wearing red armbands.
As soon as they saw someone coming to the stream, they immediately stepped forward to drive them away.
Because the crisis has not been completely resolved, so this It's not over yet.
Then when we walked to the big rock where Wu Xiaoyue and I often sat, we suddenly found a thin old man sitting on the rock to rest, fanning himself with a straw hat and drinking water.
There was also a full kitchen knife next to him. , tool holder for scissors and hoe.
Isn't this the old man who borrowed the kitchen knife?
Why is he here?
As soon as my grandfather saw him, his eyes suddenly opened wide and he walked quickly towards him.
When he arrived, he cupped his fists and said, "Brother."
The old man turned around and saw that it was us, and said cheerfully: "It's you, Taoist Priest, why are you here?"
"There is a problem with the water quality of Yunxi River.
The relevant departments said it has been solved, so let's see how the situation is."
My grandfather asked, "Why are you here?"
"I was walking along Yunxi River to collect money for kitchen knives from nearby villages and towns.
I was thirsty, so I came to Yunxi River to get some water."
After saying that, he held up the gourd in his hand to show his grandfather.
"You can't drink the water from Yunxi River."
My grandfather and I's faces changed drastically.
The old man smiled and said, "It should be fine.
You see, I drank so much water and it's fine."
"You mean the leech is clean?"
My grandfather's eyes widened.
The old man did not speak, but still laughed.
That smile was so simple, and paired with his face that was tanned by the sun, he looked so kind.
My grandfather quickly took out the Chinese cigarettes, which were given by the patients, because my grandfather did not charge for medical treatment and also gave medicines.
The patients felt bad about it.
Some gave them this, some gave them that, and they were all placed directly on the table, and then He turned around and left, fearing that my grandfather would refuse again.

The old man took it readily.
My grandfather quickly lit it.
The old man took two strong puffs and said, "Good smoke, good smoke."
"If you like it, keep it and smoke it."
My grandfather handed over the whole pack of cigarettes.
"No, no, I rarely smoke.
If I want your cigarette today, I'll just smoke one."
The old man waved his hand and refused.
"Thank you, thank you on behalf of the folks who have recovered from the illness."
My grandfather took a sip and said suddenly.
The old man just kept shaking his head and laughing without saying anything.
Finally he stopped and said, "The person they want to thank is you, because you are the one who gave the medicine."
"Without your reminder, we wouldn't have known how to prepare in advance."
My grandfather said.
"I didn't say anything," the old man said.
My grandfather was startled, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, you didn't say anything."
Then the old man looked up at me, stared at me for a while and said, "Your grandson is very good-looking and extremely talented.
He will become a great person in the future."
"Good luck to you."
My grandfather also turned to look at me and said with a smile.
If I hadn't known that the old man in front of me was very capable, I would have definitely thought that he was trying to get money by saying this.
"Brother, I have to remind you something."
The old man suddenly said something while blowing out white smoke.
My grandfather was startled, then he braced himself and said seriously: "Brother, please tell me."
"Shoot the bird on the branch.
You are so famous now.
The big tree attracts the wind."
The old man sighed.
My grandfather frowned slightly, sighed and said, "This is not what I want.
I never thought about fame and fortune.
I just want to help these people.
That's all.
We can learn from the world."
"I know, I know."
The old man smiled and waved his hand to tell my grandfather not to explain, as if he knew everything.
Then neither of them spoke, but quietly looked at the gurgling water in the Yunxi River, while I stood stupidly on the side.
My grandfather handed another cigarette to the old man.
The old man was startled, then smiled, took it and said, "Okay, two cigarettes are good."
My grandfather looked confused, what did he mean?
He didn't ask, but ordered it for him, and then said: "Brother, do you still have credit for this kitchen knife?"
The old man turned his head and looked at the knife rest, and said with a naive smile: "No more credit.
I'm old and can't do it anymore."
Only then did my grandfather realize that something might have happened.
He asked the old man: "Brother, what's wrong with you?
Is something wrong?

If anything happens, just tell me and I will try my best to help you."
The old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay.
I just don't want to do it anymore.
I've been working for a lifetime and it's time to take a break.
You and I are about the same age.
How long can you keep working?"
My grandfather took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, I can't accept old age.
I'm really old."
The old man turned to look at me, then waved, and I walked over and said, "Grandpa, what are your orders?"
"It's nothing.
It's just that grandpa doesn't sell kitchen knives on credit.
It's a pity to throw away this kitchen knife stand.
You pick it up.
This knife stand weighs about eighty pounds.
If you can pick it up, this stand will be given to you."
The old man smiled. explain.
"No."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, my grandfather stopped him.
He looked at the old man with complicated eyes.
The old man still had a smile in his eyes and continued cheerfully: "Try to see if you can shoulder this burden if you are so big."
I was excited and became interested instantly.
I could lift a hundred pounds, not to mention eighty pounds, so I said, "Then I'll give it a try."
My grandfather looked at me with complicated eyes.
I walked to the knife rack.
There were about a dozen kitchen knives in the left rack, and a dozen scissors and hoes in the right rack.
There was a pole between the two racks. , the middle of the shoulder pole was polished and dented, which showed that the old man's shoulders had already developed calluses.
I felt very grateful, then I squatted down, put the pole on my shoulders, and straightened my waist, the entire burden was lifted off the ground.
The old man nodded and smiled, but my grandfather's eyes were solemn.
But the next moment, the old man's words made me uneasy.
He said: "Once you pick it up, don't put it down."
"Brother, you" Grandpa looked at the old man puzzled.
"It's okay.
I'm just teaching him to understand.
There are a pair of invisible burdens on a man's shoulders.
He can't put them down once he picks them up.
But he can put down my burden.
I've already said that if he can pick it up, he can give it to me.
He can handle it however he likes."
After the old man said this, he stood up.
"Brother, where are you going?"
My grandfather looked at him blankly.
"Walking around, there is no burden on my shoulders, and I feel lighter instantly."
The old man put on his straw hat and tied the gourd to his waist.
Before leaving, he turned to look at me and said: "There is an old pair of scissors in the drawer of the shelf.
It is not used normally, but it is absolutely handy when used.

It can cut any kind of steel wire, red thread, or rope.
Keep it well." " My grandfather looked at the old man blankly.
The old man had something in his words, and then he said: "Brother, do you play mahjong?
If so, remember to ask me to help you when three are short of one."
Before my grandfather could reply, the old man walked straight down the bank of Yunxi River, letting my grandfather shout without looking back
