Anemarrhena legend in plant cultivation
Once upon a time, there was a lonely old woman who had no children or daughters. When she was young, she made a living by digging medicine. Because she didn't need money, she gave all the herbs she collected to the sick poor, so she had no savings when she was old. This hard life is tolerable, but the old people have a heart disease, that is, no one can inherit the ability to recognize drugs. After much deliberation, she decided to beg along the street, hoping to meet a reliable young man and treat him as an adopted son to get rid of her heart disease.
One day, the old man came to a village to beg and told his heart to the onlookers. For a time, the news spread like wildfire that the beggar's old woman wanted to adopt her son and teach her the skill of picking herbs. Soon, a rich boy found her. This son has his own abacus: "Learn to recognize and treat diseases, and there are many ways to curry favor with officials." So he took the old woman home and served her with good clothes and food. But after more than ten days, I didn't see the old woman mention herbs. On this day, he called the old man "Mom" and asked about the medicine. The old woman replied, "Wait a few years." This time, the son was angry, and he roared, "You raised it for nothing for several years. If you want to cheat, eat, drink and fuck you! " The old man didn't get angry, laughed, put on rags and left the childe's house. She started begging in the street again. Not long after, another businessman found him and wanted to recognize her as a godmother. The businessman's mind is to sell medicinal materials and make a lot of money. He took the old woman home. First, it was delicious and entertaining. After more than a month, she still didn't talk about the doctor, so there was nothing she could do. Like her son, she kicked the old man out of the house again.
Two years later, the old man continued to beg along the street and speak his mind, but he was regarded as a madman and a liar by many people. This winter, she limped to a remote mountain village and collapsed outside a house because of physical and mental exhaustion. The noise alarmed the owner of the house. The owner is a young woodcutter. He helped grandma into the house and asked about her health. When he learned that the old man was hungry, he quickly asked his wife to cook and bring it. The old man was about to leave after dinner when the couple stopped him: "Where are you going on such a cold day?" When the old man said he was going to beg, the kind couple sympathized and advised her, "It's not easy to beg at your age. If you think we are not poor, stay here! " The old man hesitated, and finally nodded.
Time flies, and spring blossoms in a blink of an eye. One day, the old man tried to say, "I feel very embarrassed to live in your house like this." Let me go. " The woodcutter was anxious: "You have no children, and we have no old people. Let's form a family, we admit that you are a mother. Is this not good? " The old man shed tears and finally revealed the details. However, the woodcutter and his wife didn't mind: "They are all suffering people. What can I do to repay you? You can always be comfortable. "
From then on, the woodcutter and his wife were busy with their work and filial piety to the elderly. The old man lived a happy life for more than three years and reached the age of 80. This summer, she suddenly said to the woodcutter, "Please take me to the mountain, son." The woodcutter didn't understand, but he agreed to the old man happily. He carried the old man up the mountain and down the ditch, running here and there, sweating like a pig, but from time to time, Doby's old man was always cheerful. When they came to a hillside overgrown with weeds, the old man went to the ground, sat on a stone, pointed to a bunch of weeds with linear leaves and white and purple striped flowers and said, "Dig up its roots." The woodcutter dug up a tan grass root and asked, "Mom, what is this?" The old man said: "this is a kind of herbal medicine, which can cure diseases such as lung heat, cough, physical weakness and fever, and is of great use." Son, do you know why I just taught you how to recognize a doctor today? "The woodcutter thought for a moment and said," Mom wants to find an honest and kind person to teach him medical skills, and she is afraid that people with ulterior motives will use this skill to make a fortune and harm the people! "The old woman nodded:" Son, you really know what your mother is thinking. " This medicine has no name yet, just call it' Anemarrhena asphodeloides'. Later, the old woman taught the woodcutter many kinds of herbs. After the old man died, the woodcutter turned to collecting medicine, but he always remembered the old man's words and sincerely sent medicine to treat the poor.
