295. The Dragon and Phoenix Among the People(1/2)
It was the Lotus Pond Water Pavilion that we had last time, and the seats were already set up and the refreshments were placed on the table, but another "guardian fairy child" Zou Ling was not there. The only one who showed up Zou Bao and Shi Liangde asked, "Where is the immortal Zhu?"
Zou Bao pointed at a distance and said, "Zhu Xianren is waiting for you in the pavilion, he only invites you to come over." Looking in the direction of his finger, there was a small hill around the lotus pond, and there was a pavilion on the hill, and there was a man in white sitting in the pavilion. His back was blocked by a bunch of raspberries on the hill, and it was not very real, and a head of silver hair could be seen.
The personal bodyguard Hou Guangquan looked at Shi Liangde with inquiring eyes. Shi Liangde waved his hand and said, "Since the immortal master has invited me, I'll go over and pay my respects!"
Shi Liangde walked around the water pavilion alone toward the hill. He picked raspberries here last time. Now half a month has passed, and there are still many orange raspberries hanging on the branches, but a lot has fallen on the ground. Follow a path to the other end of the hill, climb the hill and walk into the pavilion. Zhu Xianren sat there and raised his hand and signaled: "Boss Shi, please sit!"
Shi Liangde finally saw Zhu Dafu, but he stood there and was stunned. After several seconds, he spoke: "Pretending, Zhuang Mengzhou?"
Zhuang Mengzhou smiled faintly: "Yes, it's me! If Boss Shi has any doubts, you can sit down and ask slowly."
Shi Liangde had never seen Zhuang Mengzhou before, but he had read all kinds of information from the Fang Foreign Alliance, including Zhuang Mengzhou's information. All the information that could be found was summarized and submitted to him by his subordinates, so he could recognize it at a glance. This was too unexpected, but Shi Liangde had also seen various big scenes and big worlds, and then he regained his calmness.
He sat down and said, "How could it be you?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "The name is just a title. I can call Zhuang Mengzhou or give myself a pseudonym Zhu Dafu. The Zhu Dafu that Boss Shi is looking for is indeed me. I am just curious, why are you looking for me for such a big price?"
Shi Liangde was a little confused about Zhuang Mengzhou's background, but he still smiled calmly: "Mr. Zhuang, the entire Fangwai League is looking for you. Of course, you know why. This is simply asking questions clearly! But I didn't expect that you have been a director of Fangwai League. The person you are looking for is by your side, and I admire you very much!"
Zhuang Mengzhou gave Shi Liangde a cup of tea and laughed out loud: "Boss Shi, don't praise me, you are hiding deeply!"
Shi Liangde did not take this and asked again: "Mr. Zhuang, what is your purpose in mingling into the foreign alliance?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "I just think it's fun, do you believe it? As an immortal, I just experienced the world of world and can witness one prescription after another. Is there any better way to get involved in the foreign alliance?"
Shi Liangde secretly complained in his heart that he pretended to be like him! He had read Zhuang Mengzhou's information for a long time and knew that he was from the Jingmen of the Jianghu. He also had a nickname called "Mr. Pretending", so he was good at pretending to be a god and pretending to be like a ghost. Now he ran to him and pretending to be a god!
He was actually a little impressed when he complained. Zhuang Mengzhou should have the means. Of course, the gods are nonsense, but they are also considered an expert in the world.
Zhuang Mengzhou obviously knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang can pretend to be an immortal, and immortal can also pretend to be Mr. Zhuang. It depends on what you think, Boss Shi."
Shi Liangde couldn't help asking: "Where are other people in the Fangwai League, do you know Mr. Zhuang's identity?"
Zhuang Mengzhou replied: "What happened here, including every word and every detail you and I said when you and I met, will not be known to anyone else. I have not and will not tell anyone in the Fangwai League. What does Boss Shi want to ask, and now you can just speak."
Shi Liangde: "I want to ask if the rumors are true. Have you really created such a secret method?"
Zhuang Mengzhou did not answer directly, but pointed his hand around and said, "This secret realm of heaven and earth is called Youhuaijie. I believe Boss Shi has also heard of it. Youhuaijie is now one of the members of the Fangwai Alliance, and the three directors are surnamed Song. But it is obvious that they do not really have Youhuaijie now, because you and I are sitting here."
As expected! Shi Liangde remembered Lu Juzi and his former inference that this was Youhuai Realm, and the Song family had long lost the inheritance of the secret realm of heaven and earth, but he did not expect that Youhuai Realm would fall into Zhuang Mengzhou's hands.
Shi Liangde asked tentatively: "The Song family only retained the records left by their ancestors, but the inheritance of Youhuaijie fell into your hands?"
Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head and said, "No, Boss Shi guessed wrong! The inheritance of Youhuai Realm has nothing to do with me. It's just that the descendants of the Song family cannot cultivate the secret techniques left by their ancestors, so they can no longer enter this secret realm of heaven and earth. Over time, they can't find it, but they still have the treasure of controlling the realm."
Shi Liangde: "Then how are you...?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "Of course it's because of the Fangwai Alliance! You said why I wanted to get into the Fangwai Alliance. Now you know the reason? How interesting this is! I saw the information about You Huaijie in the Fangwai Alliance, so I did a lot of examinations and verifications, and finally found the portal of You Huaijie in this area.
Of course, Boss Shi wanted to ask how I came in and how could I open the door for you. I have not obtained the inheritance from the Song family, and I have no idea where their treasure of the world control is. I am sitting here at the moment, and you are also sitting here, of course because I have cultivated the secret method of the Fangwai, which is the best proof! Is there anything else that Boss Shi wants to ask?"
Shi Liangde took a deep breath and said, "I admire you. I am indeed a master of the immortal family! I am lucky to be able to meet him in person!"
Zhuang Mengzhou waved his hand with a smile and said, "No need to say these polite words. It is rare for old friends to reunite. Let's have a cup of tea and talk about the past!"
"Reunion of old friends?" Shi Liangde was a little surprised again, and then looked at Zhuang Mengzhou carefully and said, "I'm sorry, I can't remember when and where did we meet?"
Zhuang Mengzhou sighed and said, "It's been a lot of years ago. It's normal for you to remember or recognize me. But I still remember you, you can recognize me at a glance because you treated me for illness."
Shi Liangde: "Ah, when?"
Zhuang Mengzhou recalled: "It's been almost thirty years. At that time, I was a junior high school student. My mother took me to see a famous doctor... It took me a long time to find a doctor who treated me. In fact, you are the one who cured me!"
Shi Liangde has not seen anyone with illness for more than 20 years. How could the ancestor of Boci Group treat patients personally? But he worked as a doctor in the martial arts world for a long time, traveling around the streets and alleys all over the country, and has treated countless people. This career can last for three years or five years? At most, no more than seven years.
As Shi Liangde earned more and more money, his marketing methods became more and more mature, and the team became larger and larger. He took the exams less and less until he completely broke away.
Shi Liangde raised the teacup and said, "I didn't expect that we still have such a fate. I wonder how the treatment was effective at that time?"
Zhuang Mengzhou also raised his glass and said, "The medicine is cured! I still want to find an opportunity to thank you, but I have waited for so many years."
Shi Liangde breathed a sigh of relief and smiled heartily: "You don't have to be polite. Doctors should be kind to save the world and relieve the suffering of patients. This is natural... Even if it is a bit vulgar, you have to treat the disease after collecting money. I am very curious. Whose origin of Mr. Zhuang must be of extraordinary origin?"
Speaking of this, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed, and Shi Liangde is tentatively asking for more things. Among the information he has read, there are only various rumors about Zhuang Mengzhou, but the official archives of this person cannot be found, as if it emerged from the world out of thin air, and I don’t know where I was born, where I went to school, work, etc. It seems that it is also a pseudonym.
Zhuang Mengzhou leaned back slightly with his hands on the table, looking into the distance and said, "Boss Shi has already experienced the true meaning of You Huaijie, awakening all kinds of moods in the past and giving people the opportunity to re-examine himself. Boss Shi not only remembered his past, but also seemed to be very interested in my origin?"
Shi Liangde: "Yes, very interested!"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "Actually, my background is very ordinary, and my parents are ordinary people. They are undergraduate graduates in the 1960s."
Shi Liangde was stunned for a moment before answering, "It's not ordinary, this is not ordinary at all, it's a dragon and a phoenix among people! It seems that Mr. Zhuang comes from a scholarly family for generations."
Not to mention the 1960s, even in the 1980s, after the reform and opening up and the college entrance examination system was restored, college students were not common. At that time, educational resources were limited, but there was no such expansion of enrollment today. Taking the college entrance examination was a single-plank bridge in life.
So back to the early 1960s before the Cultural Revolution, shortly after the founding of New China, there were even fewer undergraduate graduates, and the parents of others were both, so it was not an exaggeration to say that one thing was the same as the dragon and the phoenix.
Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head and said, "It's not considered a scholarly family, but the lowest-level urban civilians and rural farmers. It's a bit legendary."
Shi Liangde showed an interesting look and said, "I hope to hear it carefully."
Zhuang Mengzhou: "I have never seen my grandfather. He was a bricklayer before liberation. When my mother was three years old, he fell from the house and died of injuries. My grandmother never remarried. A widow took four daughters to make a living. My mother ranked fourth and was the youngest."
Shi Liangde frowned and said, "This cannot be passed on in the old society. If you don't have a son at home, you may be killed by the clan people!"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "Isn't this happening to be the founding of New China? It's also living in the city. The old lady was originally illiterate, but later she participated in a literacy class organized by the street. She could read newspapers and write something simple. She even worked as a street director for several years. My mother was the youngest child in the family and the best child. Later, she was admitted to university and it was that simple."
Shi Liangde sighed: "It's not simple, it's not simple! What about Lingzun?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "My father is an ordinary farmer. He followed the family tree for seven generations and worked in the countryside for generations. But the family should be a bit of a tradition of farming and studying. My uncle graduated from a junior high school before liberation and later joined the People's Liberation Army."
Shi Liangde: "There is no such thing as high school seniors now. The graduates of high school seniors before liberation were considered intellectuals, let alone in the countryside."
Zhuang Mengzhou continued: "My uncle retired after he came back from the Korean battlefield and did not accept the resettlement policy and went to the city to work as a cadre. Because after the land reform, his family distributed the land, he still chose to return to his hometown to farm, but he had a monthly allowance. My grandparents were all very ordinary farmers. They raised four sons, and my father was also ranked fourth."
Before liberation, the infant's death rate was very high, and it was not necessarily possible to support him when he was born, so he only introduced his grandparents to raise four sons, and did not say that he had given birth to several sons. Shi Liangde nodded slightly and said, "The family has four adult sons, and they will not suffer any losses in the countryside."
Zhuang Mengzhou: "I don't know much about this. I haven't lived there. My father went to the elementary school in the countryside, then went to the middle school in the township, and then got admitted to the university. He happened to be in the same school and the same major as my mother. This is the case... From the heart, I really have to thank New China, thank Chairman Mao! Otherwise, they would not have had such a chance of life."
Shi Liangde nodded repeatedly and said, "It's not easy, it's not easy!"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "According to the current saying, they should belong to the post-40s, who are more than teenagers than Boss Shi. When I was admitted to university, no one in my family had the experience of filling out the application form. They even chose the most difficult major to study."
Shi Liangde asked, "What major?"
Zhuang Mengzhou smiled bitterly and said, "Mathematics Department!"
Shi Liangde also smiled: "It's really hard to read. It's one of the majors with the highest IQ requirements. It's fine if Ling Zun, but Ling Tang actually chose the mathematics department. But it was understandable in that era, and it was not as much attention as it is now... what happened later?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "In that era, there was no need to consider employment issues. They were all assigned by the state. After graduating from university, they went to the factory to work as technicians. They were considered as state cadres, and they happened to catch up with the Cultural Revolution. They worked for more than ten years. After the reform and opening up, they were transferred to government agencies and did not retire until 2000.
They started working in the 1960s, and the last time I saw you was in the late 1980s. At that time, they had been working for almost twenty years, worked in the factory for ten years, and transferred to the agency for almost ten years. My father was already an engineer and my mother was a statistician."
Shi Liangde: "The past is touching, no wonder Mr. Zhuang is so excellent!" This is a bit of a forced flattery, because he has not yet figured out what Zhuang Mengzhou does.
Zhuang Mengzhou shook his head seriously and said, "From the starting point of my origin, I am far inferior to them, because I was born directly in such a family and an environment... Boss Shi, do you know why I want to say this?"
The conversation between the two was very interesting, and even a bit painful to say the meaning of the revolutionary history. Shi Liangde just wanted to find out about Zhuang Mengzhou's origin, but Zhuang Mengzhou took the initiative to talk about the past of his father, so he had to follow the conversation and asked, "Why?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "I introduced my parents' background and experience. Does Boss Shi know what kind of people they are?"
Shi Liangde exclaimed: "There is no doubt that it is the best and hardest elite in their era and our society!"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "When I first met you, they had been working for twenty years. Do you know what their monthly salary is?"
Shi Liangde was stunned: "How many? That was the 1980s, it should be very rare, right?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "It's not much, each person is less than 100 yuan. My father has subsidies for the construction site. Including this income, the salary of the two people will be more than 200 yuan."
Shi Liangde sighed: "It's very good. This is a dual-working family, and they are all state cadres. At that time, the income was not low. But now looking back, the times are developing so fast!"
Zhuang Mengzhou smiled slightly: "Don't worry, now I look back now. I said that at that time, I asked you to see a doctor and got half a bowl of ointment, about five milliliters. Do you still remember how much money you charged at that time?"
Shi Liangde asked guiltily: "How much does it cost?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "Sixteen!"
Shi Liangde: "How do you remember so clearly?"
Zhuang Mengzhou: "I only had a few dollars a month at that time. How big is 16 dollars a huge sum? How could I not remember it clearly?"
This sentence is different from each of the previous sentences, because it is accompanied by divine thoughts and is imprinted into Shi Liangde's mind. It is the story of his mother taking him to see Shi Liangde for medical treatment. This divine thought also awakened Shi Liangde's memories. He finally remembered when and where he had experienced such a thing, as if he had reappeared in the past.
It was in a county town in Jiangnan. Shi Liangde brought Chen Muguo, who was still a child, and a family uncle from his hometown. He booked a room in a state-owned hotel and advertised a color on the street outside to treat skin diseases. The so-called colored paintings are various photos printed on cloth and are also equipped with the names of various skin diseases. In short, it is very dazzling and ugly, and often attracts passers-by to watch.
If it were now, the urban management would definitely not have people pull up such things on the street, but no one was in charge at that time, and passers-by were curious. They were there for a month, and one day a mother took a teenage child to see a doctor. The child's legs had seven or eight round tinea pleuris the size of a silver coin. The edges were raised and the surface was flat, which was a little hard to touch.
She had already taken her child to the county hospital for a visit. The doctor in the county hospital prescribed a tube of clotrimazole ointment. It was obviously treated with sarcopenia, but it was useless after applying it. Therefore, she found the "ancestral old Chinese doctor who specializes in treating skin diseases".
Shi Liangde could tell at a glance that this was allergic dermatitis caused by biting a worm in the mountains, which was rarely seen in cities. However, in many mountain villages, it is not uncommon for children to be bitten and this kind of mark on their skin. They would not spend money to treat it at all. Anyway, it doesn't affect anything. Most people's stains disappear by themselves after a while, leaving at most traces of pigmentation.
It seems that the child is quite delicate, so my mother took him to the county hospital first. The doctor at the county hospital didn't understand it, and then took him to find it. As long as the diagnosis is correct, it is actually easy to treat, just take some medicine and apply it.
It has to be admitted that Shi Liangde was much more skillful than the doctors in the county hospital at that time! There is a saying that a long time of illness becomes a good doctor, and his doctors need a lot of clinical experience to accumulate. Shi Liangde had been in the world for nearly two years, and he had always been the banner of treating skin diseases.
The old man gave him a prescription, but Shi Liangde could not rely on this prescription after he went to the world. He also looked up various medical books and classics and kept learning. If Shi Liangde had not had this ability and the spirit of hard work, he would not have become Shi Laozu of Boci Group later.
What’s even more rare is that Shi Liangde travels around the streets and alleys and has seen countless cases with his own eyes. He is considered an old doctor who has gained experience. Although he is not old, compared with the doctors in the county hospital, Shi Liangde has seen more skin diseases in the past two years than the other party’s doctor’s life in his entire life.
Therefore, Shi Liangde could basically see the symptoms and causes at a glance, and he knew what medicine should be used to treat it, which conditions could be cured, which conditions could be effective, but it was difficult to cure it, and which conditions could not be cured at all. This time, he encountered the easiest to treat it.
His uncle pretended to be a diagnosis, and then instructed Shi Liangde, who was pretending to be an assistant, to start dispensing medicine. Shi Liangde was too young at the time, so he found a good-looking uncle in his hometown to play the role of an old Chinese doctor, and he pretended to be the assistant of an old Chinese doctor, responsible for dispensing medicines. In fact, the old Chinese doctor who wore a silk shirt and had white beard was just a cover.
But the cover is not useless. Shi Liangde secretly used the medicine spoon in his hand to send a secret code to tell his uncle that the disease can be cured and easy to treat. The uncle twisted his beard and said, "This disease is a bit serious, it was bitten by poisonous insects in the mountains."
To be continued...
