Chapter 273: Good Medicine

"Mr. Toling's great kindness not only cured the old disease, but also made the old man feel as if he was more than ten years younger!

While saying words of gratitude, Old Man Chen squinted at Ling Zikai with a pair of eyes full of wisdom, as if he wanted to find some unknown secrets in the young man in front of him.

I've injected you with so much Ancestral Divine Energy, if you don't feel like you're a decade younger, that's weird!

Of course, he could only complain in his heart, Ling Zikai would not say it, and said humbly: "The old man has won the award! Actually, I am not a doctor, and I don't know any medical skills, but I just got a home remedy by chance, which happens to be able to cure your diseases." Perhaps, as they say, the blind cat touched a dead mouse. ”

The old man laughed when he heard this, and said, "If it is really as Mr. Ling said, then your fate with our old Chen family is not shallow, otherwise how could you, who are thousands of miles away in the north, meet me and Xiaoyi, a pair of dead mice?"

"Grandpa, what kind of mouse is not a mouse, it sounds disgusting!"

Chen Yi protested loudly on the side, and looked at Ling Zikai with disgust, as if he was a little unhappy with his comparison of himself to a dead rat.

Seeing that Chen Yi's face was disgusted, with a different style, Ling Zikai laughed: "I'm sorry, Miss Chen, it's really inappropriate to compare your fairy-like beauty to that animal, count me as a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"

Hearing Ling Zikai praise himself in person for looking like a fairy, Chen Yi's face showed a slight shyness, but when he looked at him, there was an extra layer of strange color in his eyes, with a bit of heat, which made Ling Zikai dare not look at her for a while.

Old Man Chen secretly looked at the expressions of the two young people in his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.

A servant walked into the living room, bowed to Old Man Chen and said, "Old lady, the dinner is ready!"

Old Man Chen nodded, and with Chen Yi's support, he led Ling Zikai into the restaurant.

I saw that more than a dozen plates of dishes had been placed on an oval mahogany dining table, which was not only sumptuous, but also surprised Ling Zikai that all of them were specialties from his hometown of Ouzhou, including the dried vegetables and meat that he had loved since he was a child.

Seeing the look of surprise on Ling Zikai's face, Old Man Chen said: "I heard that Mr. Ling used to be from Ouzhou, Jiangnan, so I asked people to make a few Ouzhou side dishes, and I don't know if it suits your taste." ”

Since people even know their birthplace, they must have done a lot of research on their identity. Although there is nothing unpleasant about his identity, but he was secretly investigated, he was always a little uncomfortable, so he said lightly: "Old man, I bothered you!"

Old Man Chen is old and refined, how could he not see the displeasure in his heart.

But Ling Zikai's identity and origin is a very important matter for the entire Chen family, even if it will cause the other party's disgust, it must be clarified.

But this matter can't be explained, Old Man Chen can only haha and change the topic: "Mr. Ling, let's take a seat!"

"Old man, you have such a sumptuous dinner, can we eat it for the three of us?"

Ling Zikai asked with some puzzlement. Since it is a banquet set up to thank him for saving his life, even if it is not a big scene, at least Chen Shihao, who is the head of the Chen family, must come forward to entertain!

"Mr. Ling, my grandfather and I specially invited you to this dinner today, so I didn't let anyone else come over.

The third uncle said, hold a drinking party at Nanshuiwan in a few days, and express my grandest thanks to you on behalf of the Chen family. Not only will all the Chen family members be present, but some celebrities on the island will also be invited to come and cheer.

By the way, I'm going to have a party. When the time comes, there will be a lot of beautiful women to participate, so don't miss the opportunity to feast your eyes!"

Chen Yi said and glanced at Ling Zikai mischievously.

Ling Zikai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Miss Chen, what I'm most afraid of is attending a drinking party or something, so this matter will be avoided! Besides, when the time comes, it may not be that I am still on Hong Kong Island!"

"No, even if you want to leave Hong Kong Island, you have to wait until I'm done with the party!"

At this moment, Chen Yi finally revealed the arrogant side of the daughter of a wealthy family, and directly made a decision for Ling Zikai.

Ling Zikai frowned, and didn't say anything more, anyway, it's your business whether you can have a party or not, and it's up to me to decide whether to come or not when the time comes.

"Yi girl, you can go and get the bottle I hid in the cupboard!"

After hearing Grandpa's words, Chen Yi seemed taken aback, and asked with some hesitation, "Grandpa, what do you want me to get?"

Old Man Chen scolded with a smile: "You little girl, can't your ears be worse than my old man's at a young age! ”

Chen Yi was sure that what his grandfather said just now was true, and quickly stood up and walked out. After a while, he came back cautiously with a small maroon wooden box.

Ling Zikai glanced at the small wooden box on the table, which was shaped like a high-end wine box, but it wasn't that tall.

The workmanship of the box is also very fine, and there are some patterns carved on the outside, and I don't know what material it is made of, but it looks like it should be many years old, and this box alone should be an old antique.

Chen Yi called the lid of the box and took out something wrapped in yellow silk cloth from inside. When I opened the silk cloth, I saw a cyan jade bottle exposed.

Although Ling Zikai didn't have any research on jade and other things, judging from the smooth and clear appearance of the jade bottle, it must have been carved from some kind of high-grade jade, even if it was an empty bottle, if it was sold in the market, it must be worth a lot of money.

So, what will it be in the bottle?

Chen Yi saw the bottle gently placed in front of the old man, and said, "Grandpa, you should open this thing yourself!"

Looking at the jade bottle, Old Man Chen's face also looked a little dignified, as if the bottle contained rare treasures, and he looked reluctant.

Ling Zikai asked with some curiosity, "Old man, what is in this bottle?"

According to his guess, since it was brought to the table, it was probably aged wine.

"Mr. Ling, to be honest, I can't tell if it's wine or something else. This jade vase was handed down from my grandfather's grandfather, and I don't know how many years it has been. It is said that drinking what is inside is of great benefit to the human body! Today, I also ask you to see what is mysterious inside!"

Hearing this, Ling Zikai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Old man, since it is the ancestral heirloom of your Chen family, what it contains must be extraordinary, isn't it a tyrannical thing for you to entertain me? Even if you pour it out, I don't dare to drink it! Let's put it away quickly!"

Old Man Chen glanced at Ling Zikai's anxious appearance, shook his head with a smile, and said, "If it was before, even if you begged me, I wouldn't take it out." Because the contents of this bottle can be said to be related to the lives of me and Yi Yatou. However, now that I meet you, Mr. Ling, the things in this can be said to be worthless!"

Ling Zikai was confused by Old Man Chen's words, and asked, "Why does this have anything to do with me again?"

"Of course it has something to do with you!"

Chen Yi said on the side: "Because what is in this bottle is actually a kind of medicine." It was able to cure me and my grandfather of a strange disease. Now that we've been cured of our illness by you, there's no use in keeping it! Grandpa, do you think I'm right?"

Old Man Chen nodded and said, "I heard my grandfather say that the contents of this jade bottle were prepared by the ancestors of the Chen family at a great price to ask a master from outside the world, and its purpose was to be able to cure this strange disease in our body. ”

After Ling Zikai said "oh", he immediately felt that there was something wrong with Old Man Chen's words, and asked, "No, old man, according to what you just said, the contents of this bottle are a kind of medicine prepared by your ancestors, and it should have been passed down to you for many years."

How could your ancestors have prepared medicine for you in advance in anticipation of the strange disease that their descendants would suffer from a strange disease in the future?

And if you have medicine for your disease, why don't you take it and be tormented by a strange disease in agony?"

Hearing Ling Zikai ask a series of key questions, Old Man Chen showed an appreciative look.

This young man is not simple, he was able to immediately perceive the key to the whole thing, and this keen reaction alone has surpassed his peers.

Coupled with the mysterious abilities he possesses, it seems that he must remind Shihao that the Chen family must have a good relationship with him in the future, even if it cannot be used by the Chen family, he must not be allowed to be an enemy of the Chen family!

Seeing Ling Zikai looking at him with a puzzled face, Old Man Chen sighed and said, "Mr. Ling, although the questions you asked are related to a secret of our Chen family, you have a life-saving grace for us, so there are some things that we don't need to hide from you.

The reason why my ancestors would ask someone to prepare a medicine to cure the disease was not because they could predict the future illness of their descendants, as you might imagine, but because there would be people in every generation of our Chen family who would be infected with this strange disease.

In other words, at that time, there were children of the family who were sick, so the ancestors would ask someone to prepare medicines.

As for why, we don't take it when we have the medicine in our hands, and we are willing to suffer a lot of pain. ”

For a moment, the three of them seemed to have forgotten the dishes in front of them, and all the thoughts in their minds were caught in the past.
