Mysterious Old Man and Pulsatilla

Once upon a time, there was a seat of Niutou Mountain on the edge of the Great Lakes. There is a village under the mountain. There is a young man called Abao in the village. A Bao is cheerful, kind-hearted, and helpful. Everyone likes him very much.

But one day, Bao suddenly suffered a stomach ache, and the pain was not as good as usual. Pained his head and took cold sweat. Even his hands and feet were cold. At that time, the people who happened to be left and right had gone up the hill and went down to the ground. They all went to work and no one helped. A Bao really couldn't stand the pain and had to take advantage of his stomach and struggled to find Lang in his neighboring village. As he resisted the pain and just walked out of the village, he couldn't support himself and he would end up in the grass on the roadside.

I do not know how long after, Bao suddenly woke up and saw a gray-haired grandfather stood with a walking stick and stood by him. The grandfather asked how A Bao was lying on the side of the road. A Bao replied powerlessly: “The stomach hurts and it can't walk anymore.” Grandpa said, “Let's get a bit of medicine,” said Bao. : “Let me find it?” Grandpa used a cane to point to the grass next to Abao. On the grass there was a green grass with white fluffy hair on top, and said: “The root of this grass is medicine, you Dig a few to go back to soup and it will be good to drink several times.” A Bao thought: This grass is often common, hillside fields are everywhere, can it really cure? The grandfather did not wait for Abu to open his mouth, as if he had long seen through the doubts in his heart. He took advantage of the beard and said: "I'm an old man with white hair, and will lie to you?" Then I slowly turned away.

A Bao was determined to give it a try. He resisted painfully digging some kind of green grass with a white head on top, and returned home to drink grassroots water. The stomach was not so painful. After three consecutive days of drinking, the illness was all right. When the neighbors came to visit Bao, they also knew that Bao’s illness had been cured with a grassroots cure.

A Bao was sick and went uphill to cut firewood. On this day, Bao went to the old grey-haired grandfather on the mountain to go to cut firewood. The old grandfather stood there with a stick and looked very spirited. From afar, the white beard fluttered. , like a fairy in the mountains. A Bao rushed forward and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, you let me eat medicine really well. I drank a few times and I was sick." The white-haired grandfather laughed and said, "Young man, I was just trying to tell you that it was the secret recipe of my family's ancestors. I saw your heart is good and willing to help the people in the village. I want to use your mouth to help me pass to the world.” A Bao nodded his head. The white-haired grandfather suddenly disappeared.

Since then, no matter who is in the village, if he has made a stomach ache, A Bao will pick it up day and night and go to the wild to dig the kind of green grass on the head and go back to it. Give the patient drinking water with grassroots Jianshui. After drinking, the bellyache was cured.

Someone curiously asked Ah Po what was this medicine. When did Ah Biao learn how to use herbs to heal a disease? A Bao was a kind person. He asked him how he had stomachache in 15010 and how he met a white-haired grandfather. Wait, all told everyone. People asked where the grandfather had gone. Asked Abu straight regret: Yeah, why didn't you ask the grandfather's home?

The next day, A Bao ran to the place where he met his grandfather for the second time. He would like to thank the grandfather again. Afterwards, if anything, he would ask him again. However, Ai Bao waited for the day after day, waiting for a half-month, and never saw his old-haired grandfather reappear.

A Bao was very disappointed. He sat beside the mountain road where his grandfather met for the second time. He watched as many heads of long green hair straight out of the grass. Suddenly, he saw a bright light from the head of a white green hair. The grass came out, and in the light, the green grass swayed gently in the wind. A Bao suddenly discovered: Well, this grass is like a white hair to be a grandfather! A Bao understands that the old man with white hair is probably an Antarctic celestial person. He teaches secret recipes and relieves the suffering of others. A Bao thought that we should not let the posterity forget the grandfather who passed the secret recipe. Since this grass still does not know the name, it is better to call it "Pulsatilla". Since then, there has been a herb called "Pulsatilla" in the human world.

Until today, people are using "Pulsatilla" as a blind herb. But also in the garden for natural configuration or arrangement of flower beds, etc., to beautify the environment.

Legend II

It was Du Fu who called this grass “Pulsatilla”.

Legend has it that the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu was trapped in the Jinghua era and his life was extremely difficult. He often said: “The tumbler is not cold, and the dive is full of misery.” One morning, Du Fu took a bowl of porridge left two days ago. Soon he vomited and his stomach was extremely unbearable. However, he was living in a hut, penniless, and he had no money to seek medical advice. At this time, a white-haired man just passed his house and met with Du Fu. After asking about the illness, he said, “You should wait for a while until the old man collects medicine to treat you.” After a while, White The old man picked a wild grass with white velvet and swallowed it with a decoction. After the cuckoo was served, his illness slowly cleared and he recovered after a few days. Because “there is no one asking for self-pity, but the pity is a white-headed wolf,” Du Fu used the name “Pulsatilla” to express his gratitude to the white-haired man.
