Once upon a time, there was a man surnamed Qin who was addicted to alcohol. On this day, when brewing medicinal wine, I mistakenly mixed poison into it, and when I found that it was full of fine wine, I said that I was reluctant to throw it away, so I sealed the mouth of the bottle and put it in a corner.
Once upon a time, there was a scholar named Qin Hao, he was generous and honest, but the only thing was not very good, that is, he was very addicted to alcohol, he often found famous wine from all over the world, and got drunk with friends.
If you drink less, that's it, drink too often, and you almost become an alcoholic. This made his family often worry about his health, but he didn't listen.
His old father is a famous local Chinese medicine practitioner, medical skills are very high, often there are patients from other places to admire, he also has an older brother named Qin Tao, his brother has studied medicine with his father since he was a child, often go to the mountains to collect herbs, so their family often basks in a lot of unknown herbs.
Qin Hao has not been interested in herbal medicine and studying medicine since he was a child, so his father did not force him to learn, and one of the learned ones in the family can be inherited.
Once, Qin Hao got a bottle of wine, others told him that it was precious, he tasted it, felt that the taste was not particularly delicious, and later he asked his friend if he lied to him, the wine did not taste good.
However, friends said that this is a good home-brewed wine, and the time is not very large, and after a few months, the taste can be more mellow after full fermentation.
As soon as Qin Hao heard this, this bottle of wine could be well preserved, so he planned to brew it into medicinal wine, just right, there were some herbs at home, he looked at it, thinking that one of them was a precious tonic medicine, so he grabbed some and put it in the wine, and put the wine in a cool place.
In the afternoon, his brother Qin Tao came back from collecting medicine and found that he had less herbs to dry, so he asked Qin Hao if he had seen someone take some of this herb.
Qin Hao said that he took it to make wine, his brother was shocked, let him quickly pour the wine, Qin Hao asked curiously, isn't it a precious herb, why should it be poured.
My brother said that this is a poison, very similar to the kind of precious herbs that Qin Hao said, but this one is highly toxic and cannot be soaked in wine, so it is better to pour it out quickly, otherwise if it is drunk by an uninformed person, it will also be poisoned.
Qin Hao promised, but did not act, he thought that this was a good bottle of wine, how could it be easily thrown away? He secretly took out the poisonous herbs in the wine and threw them, thinking that it didn't take long to soak, the poison should not have penetrated much, it should not matter.
So he sealed the bottle and put it in a small corner. After a while, almost all the good wine collected by Qin Hao was drunk by him, he remembered this bottle of wine soaked in poisonous herbs, and he wanted to take it out and drink it, his brother was also present at the time, trying to dissuade him, and he promised at that time.
But taking advantage of his brother's lack of attention, he took out the wine again, first taking a small sip, but soon his forehead began to sweat and foam at the mouth.
Seeing this, his brother knew that he must have been poisoned by drinking, so he found several detoxifying Chinese medicines for him to drink, fortunately, due to the timely treatment, Qin Hao picked up a life, and his brother was so angry that he was ready to throw out all the remaining wine.
When pouring, Qin Hao also blocked and said, "Don't pour it, it's a good bottle of wine, keep it!" ”
The brother glared at him angrily and said, "Why keep it, do you still want to drink?" ”
Qin Hao said: "Isn't this saved? Since it can be saved, it is better for you to mix some herbs for detoxification, I drink a sip of wine, drink a sip of antidote, isn't this the solution? ”
My brother didn't listen to his nonsense, and quickly threw out his poisoned wine, and the place where the wine was poured was still growing weeds, and in a few days all died, and the surrounding grass was also dry.
In this way, Qin Tao told his younger brother that in the future, he should pay attention not to soak medicinal wine casually, and don't be greedy for cups, Qin Hao said yes again and again.
However, he still couldn't quit drinking at all, and he still often got drunk with his friends, and after a long time, his family was overwhelmed, so he asked his brother to find a way to scare and scare him.
He was going to drink again, his brother came over and poured him a glass of water, let him drink, after drinking this glass of water, he went to drink again, but when he got to the place, he just drank a small half cup, felt a little dizzy, couldn't walk, he could only ask his friends to help carry him home and lie down on the bed to rest.
He still can't walk, as soon as he wants to get up, he dizzy, he quickly asked people to call his brother to give him a pulse, but the brother came to touch it, said that it was not good, this pulse is very peculiar, I am afraid that he usually drinks too much, he can't see it, so he found the old father to see.
The old father looked at it, shook his head, and said, "Second brother, if you drink like this again, Dad is afraid that he will send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." ”
After speaking, the old father shed tears.
Qin Hao was still very desperate, seeing that his old father said so, he felt that he might really be drunk, but in fact, this was a family colluding together and deliberately doing it for him.
Then the old father mixed a lot of Chinese medicine, let him drink for a full month, and walk on the ground so that he could not faint. From then on, he never dared to drink too much alcohol again, drinking only a small amount each time, and never indulged again. #历史开讲 #
