Chapter 2 Is the box open?
Watson sat in front of the grave until it was almost dark before he was picked up by Watson's father.
"Everyone is sad when grandpa is gone, but if you don't care about your body, grandpa will be uneasy to leave. Your grandpa may be watching you in the sky." Watson's father said.
Watson did not return to Donghai immediately, although this time is very critical to Watson. If time goes on for a long time, it may give the instructor a bad impression, and the evaluation of internship appraisal in the future will be affected. More importantly, if you want to stay in the Affiliated Hospital, it will probably be even more slim.
However, in the customs of Watson's hometown, these filial sons and grandchildren must keep the first seven.
"Watson, if you are short of time, hurry back. Your grandfather will not blame you," said Watson's father.
Watson shook his head, "I asked for a leave when I came back."
Watson's father naturally knew his son's temper and the decision would not change.
At night, Watson took the box and looked at it again and again, but he didn't open the box.
Looking at the box, Watson seemed to be back in the sixth grade of elementary school. One day, grandpa went out to see the patient and asked himself to recite the "28 Pulse Song" at home.
"Floating pulse is a yang disease, and the pressure is not enough to be lifted. Floating and strong and wind-heat are more likely to be used. Floating and weak is blood deficiency. Floating and floating are more likely to be used to be a flood. Although it is strong and declining when it comes, the waves are turbulent and the body is wide, and the fire is burning and the fever is cut off..."
Watson has memorized various medical books since he was a child, identified various medicinal materials, and had a very good memory. He can still memorize the songs now. It is only one application.
However, children's minds are always playful. Watson naturally would not really like to recite boring things in medical books all day long. How could "Compendium of Materia Medica" be more interesting as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"? How could "The Emperor's Internal Classic" be more attractive as "The Nine Yin Scriptures"?
Watson didn't dare to go out to play, but took this opportunity to find out the wooden box that grandfather hid very secretly. He always felt that there must be some martial arts secrets hidden in this box, otherwise, grandfather wouldn't have hidden so secretly. No matter how bad it is, it would be a rare treasure.
After Watson opened it, he didn't expect that there were only two books. Both of them were handwritten copies. The covers were extremely ancient animal skins, and there was not even a word on them.
Watson was indeed happy. In martial arts novels, the protagonist usually found a treasure in the animal skin book. It must be a martial arts secret book.
Watson couldn't wait to open the book, but found that it was full of irrecognizable traditional characters. Fortunately, Watson learned various medical books since he was a child. These traditional characters were not difficult for him.
Watson could tell at a glance that it was the Hua family's medical skills. Many of the contents had been read by Watson, but the other one was a very strange book. There were not many words in Watson that could not recognize, but few could understand. There were also some strange patterns in it, some of which were like some superstitious ghost painting talismans in the village. The more they could not understand it, Watson firmly believed that this thing might be a martial arts secret. After studying it for most of the day, he didn't even notice it when his grandfather came back.
The consequences were very serious, Watson was beaten up. Then the box was hidden by his grandfather. Even so, Watson was still very strange about the wooden box. As long as he had the chance, he would steal the wooden box and see what was going on.
Even one day, Watson found all the tools for ghost-drawing talismans inside, and used medicine to pour out Aunt Hua's black dog and put half a bowl of blood. After the beating that day, Aunt Hua's black dog looked like he saw Watson.
Watson imitated several ghost talismans in the book, but unexpectedly, after only two or three ghost talismans were drawn, Watson fell asleep in a drowsy way.
Watson didn't know that after his grandfather came back, he took the hard work to wake up the peanuts. After that, Watson put the box tightly. When he came to the clinic, he would always keep the box with him.
When Watson was in junior high school, he went to the small town where his parents worked, so naturally no one forced peanuts to learn Chinese medicine. Grandpa Watson no longer forced his grandson, and Grandpa Watson did not say a word about the secret in the box. From then on, there was a gap between grandparents and grandchildren. Grandpa Watson no longer forced Watson to take his mantle.
However, when I came back this time, Grandpa Watson passed the box to Watson, which was self-evident.
Watson did not open the box, so he naturally did not want to recall everything in the past. What the things in the box represented, Watson understood in his heart.
At night, Watson slept in his ancestral house, and Watson's father came to accompany Watson. The father and son didn't talk much. Watson's father regretted that he was unable to get along with Watson when he was a child. The father and son seemed very harmonious, but in fact the relationship was not very good. Respecting each other as guests can actually be said to be a satire for family affection. Watson's father seemed to want to make up for it.
"Xiaosen, when you were a child, your mother and I worked hard in the city. At that time, the conditions were not good and there was no place to live. I was worried that I would not take care of you well, so I didn't bring you with me." Watson's father said carefully.
"I know." Watson said.
Watson's father sighed, once something is lost, it is difficult to make up for.
It’s not that Watson is so indifferent, nor is it that Watson is so ruthless. When he grows up, he can stay with his parents for at most a week every year, and sometimes he can’t see him for a while a year. In total, it takes less than a year. Even blood ties are dependent on him, it takes time to cultivate. Watson always feels that his parents are familiar and unfamiliar.
The father and son were lying on the same bed, but both were silent.
Watson suddenly heard someone shouting, and his voice was very familiar.
"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng. Have you opened the box?"
Watson was confused and did not respond.
"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng. Have you opened the box?"
This time, Watson heard it clearly, it was grandpa's voice.
"Grandpa, don't you let me see this box?" Watson actually forgot that his grandfather had passed away.
But grandpa still asked the original words: "Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng. Have you opened the box?"
"Grandpa!" Watson suddenly woke up and sat up. His forehead was covered with sweat.
"Xiaosen, are you dreaming?" Watson's father asked.
Watson nodded, "I dreamed that my grandfather was calling me."
"Your grandpa is back." Watson's father said.
"Dad, you're back! Don't scare Watson, he is your biological grandson." Watson's father looked around.
The ancestral house was quiet.
"Sleep. Don't think too much. Your grandfather can't let go of you. After all, he brought you up." Watson's father said in a warm voice.
Watson nodded and lay down again, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the sound rang in his ears again.
