Chapter 8 Medical Gymnastics and Pills

Ying Xiong was pulled by Sun Wu, left the flower and bird market, walked through two streets, several alleys, and finally came to an antique mansion.

Ying Xiong secretly sighed that he could own such a big house in the urban area. This Sun Wu was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he was worth a lot of money.

After Sun Wu handed over the birdcage to a middle-aged man, he led Ying Xiong into the main hall.

"Please sit down!" Sun Wu pointed to a chair beside Ying Xiong.

"Thank you!" Ying Xiong sat down slowly.

After a while, the middle-aged man served tea.

"Please drink tea!" Sun Wu said.

"Thank you!"

Sun Wu had a smile on his face: "I really didn't expect that the old ancestor would entrust me with a dream. It is my great honor!"

Seeing the pride on Sun Wu's face, Ying Xiong felt embarrassed to interrupt him, picked up the tea and took a sip.The tea was a bit astringent, and he couldn't tell the good from the bad, because he didn't drink much at home.

Sun Wu sighed: "Young man, under the guidance of our ancestors, you and I are destined!"

Ying Xiong also had a look of excitement: "I really didn't expect to see the person in my dream. 'Fu Lu Tang' really exists! It's amazing!"

Sun Wu pondered for a while, and then asked: "Who told you that I was in the flower and bird market?"

Ying Xiong saw that he was a different person from the foolish look at the flower and bird market just now, so he didn't dare to neglect, and replied truthfully: "It's the sister of the owner of Fulutang."

Sun Wu's eyes were very sharp, he looked at Ying Xiong, and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm not the same now as before?"

Ying Xiong smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.

Sun Wu said calmly: "Young man, in fact, I have been living in my own world, including my communication with birds, so those outsiders will think I am strange!"

Ying Xiong nodded lightly without comment.

Sun Wu said solemnly: "Let me introduce myself: I am the 47th generation descendant of Sun Simiao, the 'King of Medicine'. Our ancestors were from the same officials of the Three Qin Dynasties. In my great-grandfather's generation, our branch moved to Sui County. Young man, how old do you think I am this year?"

Ying Xiong fell into deep thought, frowned, and answered in embarrassment: "It's really hard to guess, you are just like the medicine king in your dream, you are both white-haired and young, and your real age is hard to guess. I guess you should be more than 60 .”

Sun Wu stroked his white hair, smiled slightly and said, "Hey, little slicker, don't tell me the exact age. Let me tell you, I am 78 years old this year!"

"Ah——" Ying Xiong opened his mouth wide. He guessed that Sun Wu was of a certain age, but he didn't expect him to be 78 years old.But just looking at his face, he was even younger than a middle-aged man, with snow-white hair.I don't know what method he used to keep his face and art.

Sun Tzu suddenly asked: "Do you want to live to be more than 100 years old?"

Ying Xiong shook his head with a smile, and replied truthfully: "Without ideals and pursuits, it is not my pursuit to live more than 100 years old. If I have to choose, I would like to be like a shooting star. Although it is short-lived, it is gorgeous and remains in the world. Make your own mark."

Sun Wu smiled: "Young man is very ambitious! What do you like?"

Ying Xiong almost blurted out: "Basketball!"

Sun Wu laughed and said, "Don't look at me at such an old age, I also like basketball."

Ying Xiong was a little surprised: "You like it too? But I can understand that basketball has a great charm, regardless of national boundaries, and naturally regardless of age."

Sun Wu asked, "How old are you?"

Ying Xiong said: "16."

Sun Wu smiled: "It's really the same age as flowers! Do you have any wishes?"

Ying Xiong thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I want to grow taller. Because of my current height, I probably can't play professional basketball. I like competition, and I hope I can get a chance to compete."

Sun Wu stroked his white beard and said, "It's really a pity that we lack the conditions to realize our dreams. You and I are predestined, and I will help you! In this way, just wait, and I'll be right back." After finishing speaking, he stood up Come, go to the inner room.

Ying Xiong didn't know what kind of "help" Sun Wu was talking about, but he didn't want to ask too much, and there was no other good way to grow taller right now, so it's better to wait and see.He sat drinking tea and waited patiently for Sun Wu.

Not long after, Sun Wu came back with an old book and a wooden box in his hand.

Before the curious Ying Xiong asked, Sun Wu explained: "Young man, I have two things for you." After speaking, he handed the old book in his hand to Ying Xiong, and said, "Take a look at this book." !"

"Okay!" Ying Xiong took the old book and carefully turned over the first page. There were three words written on it - "Five Animal Play".

"Hua Tuo's 'Five Animals'?" Ying Xiong asked Sun Wu.

Sun Wu smiled slightly, and said appreciatively: "Little Doll knows a lot, that's right, this is a book about Wu Qin Xi."

Sun Wu went on to explain: "Wu Qin Xi was created by Hua Tuo, a genius doctor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Now it is used as medical gymnastics, and there are many versions. Do you know which five birds are 'Wu Qin'?"

Ying Xiong replied, "Tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird."

Sun Tzu nodded appreciatively and said: "One is called tiger, which can improve explosive power after practice; two is called deer, which can improve speed and durability after practice; three is called bear, which can improve strength after practice; fourth, ape, can improve flexibility after practice; Wuyue bird, after practice, you can improve your jumping and staying in the air."

Ying Xiong couldn't help exclaiming: "So amazing?"

Sun Wu nodded confidently and said: "Of course, I don't need to show things that are not helpful to you."

Ying Xiong asked, "How do you practice this?"

Sun Wu explained: "The moves and routines are very simple and easy to learn. You can learn them easily by following the demonstration actions in the books. Listen, the most important thing is two words - persistence. Remember, no matter how boring you want to give up You have to persevere, otherwise, this will have the same effect as the radio gymnastics you middle school students do at school."

Ying Xiong remembered Sun Wu's words and nodded solemnly.

Sun Wu continued: "If you want to succeed, how can you do it without putting in effort and energy? If you want to succeed, you have to be tough on yourself! There is also this, you take it." He handed the wooden box to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong took the wooden box and asked, "What is this?"

Sun Wudao: "You will know when you open it."

Ying Xiong carefully opened the wooden box, and saw round black pills inside.The size of the pill is about the same as the chocolate pill of Mai Lisu, and the color is gray-black.

Sun Wu explained: "This is Baoli Pill, which can grow taller and improve physical fitness in a short period of time, but it needs to be gradually fully utilized after the age of 20. You will take one pill a month and 12 pills a year. I have 50 pills here, which is enough for you to take until you are 20 years old. You can take this medicine with confidence, and it has absolutely no toxic and side effects, but some physical abnormalities may appear after taking a certain amount. You need to pay attention to this, and rest well. Problem!"

"This little pill can make me grow taller and stronger!" Ying Xiong stared at the little chocolate-like pills, as surprised as seeing aliens.

Sun Wu said confidently: "I know you are surprised, but you have to understand that there are many things in this world that are beyond the scope of our cognition. Your common sense tells you that the impossible may be happening."

Ying Xiong nodded thoughtfully.

Sun Wudao: "You just need to store this pill in a dark and dry place, and you don't have to worry about mold. As a descendant of the medicine king, I don't have the ability to preserve it at all, and I don't need to open my Fulutang."

Ying Xiong couldn't help but disbelieve the confidence in Sun Wu's words.Although he came here under the guidance of the medicine king in his dream, the various things that happened today really surprised him.

Ying Xiong asked, "Grandpa Sun, how much does this cost?"

Sun Wu said with a smile: "It is a predestined person, how can I take your money and give it all to you."

Ying Xiong knew that no matter how polite he was, he would appear hypocritical, so he said sincerely, "Thank you, Grandpa Sun!"

Sun Wu said solemnly: "You don't need to be too polite, but I have something to tell you. You can't tell anyone about today's events, including Wu Qin Xi and Bao Li Wan, and the secrets of heaven must not be revealed! Can you do it?"

Ying Xiong nodded solemnly and said, "I can do it!"

Sun Tzu added: "If you are practicing Wu Qinxi and someone sees it, it's okay. It's useless for others to practice."

Ying Xiong smiled wryly, "Others thought I was practicing martial arts!"

Sun Wudao: "Wu Qin Xi can give full play to your potential, but you must wait until you are 20 years old to fully display its power. In addition, it has a hidden function."

"What effect?" Ying Xiong asked.

Sun Wudao: "You will know when the time comes, the secret must not be leaked!"

Ying Xiong didn't ask any more questions, so he just nodded.

Sun Wudao: "Put your things away, and you should go home early. Parents will inevitably worry when they are away from home!"

Ying Xiong carefully put the old books and wooden boxes into his schoolbag, and thanked Sun Wu again.Then bid farewell, and then embark on the journey home.

Ying Xiong took the train home overnight.
