"How far is this watch effective?" asked Li Yan curiously, interested in this high-tech product.

"There is no distance limit, as long as there is a signal, it can be received. Chen Aili said.

Li Yan nodded, put the watch on his wrist, and it looked pretty good.

Leaving the hotel, Li Yan entered the live broadcast room of the underworld to show the audience the scenery of Qingshui Town.

Li Quan: "Xiaoshuai anchor, is this really Qingshui Town? It's completely different from my impression!"

Li Yan laughed: "I can still lie to you, hundreds of years have passed, of course the town cannot remain the same." Later, when you go to the old house of the Li family, you will know if it is Qingshui Town. ”

After finding a snack bar, Li Yan ordered two snacks casually, and when he went to the counter to settle the accounts, he asked, "Boss, do you know where the descendants of the Li family live?"

"Descendants of the Li family?" The boss was stunned and said with a smile: "We have more people surnamed Li here, how do you know which descendants of the Li family you are talking about." ”

"It's the Li family's old mansion, you should have heard of it, right?" asked Li Yan.

"Oh, that Li family, everyone in the town knows it. The owner of the snack bar smiled and pointed to the car repair shop diagonally opposite: "That shop is opened by the son-in-law of the Li family." You can go over and ask. ”

Li Yan looked in the direction pointed by the boss, it was an electric car repair shop, the business was not bad, and there was a row of electric cars parked at the door.

Walking to the door of the car repair shop, two people were busy working. Li Yan stood at the door and watched for a while, and one of the older masters got up and asked, "Little brother, are you going to repair the car?"

"No, I was entrusted by an elder to find the descendants of the Li family. I heard the owner of the snack bar opposite say that you are the son-in-law of the Li family, so come and take a look. Li Yan said truthfully.

Another young repairman stood up, stretched his muscles and quipped, "Could it be that there is a huge inheritance for my master to inherit, just like the plot?"

Li Yan was stunned, amused by the young repairman, and said with a smile: "Actually, what you said is right, that elder told me that if the descendants of the Li family are not doing well, let me find a way to help them and ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing." ”

The older master smiled slightly, only thinking that Li Yan was joking, he didn't take it to heart, and continued to repair the car.

After standing for a while, Li Yan asked, "Master, do you know where the rest of the Li family live?"

The middle-aged master glanced up at him and asked curiously, "What are you doing with the Li family?"

"As I said just now, I was entrusted by an elder, and if the descendants of the Li family encounter any trouble, it is within the scope of my ability. I'll do my best to help. ”

The middle-aged master looked at Li Yan strangely, seeing that the other party looked serious, not like he was joking, and then he asked, "I don't know what is the relationship between your elder and the Li family?"

Li Yan groaned and said: "I really want to go back to it, it was several generations ago, the ancestor of the Li family, Li Quan, was kind to my family, our family has ancestral teachings, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, by the way, I am also surnamed Li, maybe five hundred years ago and the Li family were the same ancestor." ”

Wiping the stains off his hands, the middle-aged master took a cigarette in his mouth, and then handed one to Li Yan, who waved his hand to indicate that he did not smoke.

After smoking a whole cigarette, the middle-aged master made a phone call and mentioned the name Li Quan on the phone, presumably to verify the situation with the Li family.

Knowing that the Li family did have an old ancestor named "Li Quan", the middle-aged master believed Li Yan's words, but he still had deep doubts. Fear that he is a liar with ulterior motives.

After hesitating for a long time, the middle-aged master said, "That's it, wait until I fix this car and take you to see the Li family." ”

"That's troublesome master. Li Yan stood aside and waited patiently.

During this period, the two sides chatted a few more words, and learned that the middle-aged master's name was Liu Cheng, and the young repairman was his apprentice Lan Yi.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Liu Cheng repaired the electric car, tried a few times to make sure it was no problem, and took Li Yan to the current residence of the Li family.

What is more embarrassing is that the old mansion of the Li family did not belong to the Li family for a long time, and after the establishment of New China, many properties of the Li family with the nature of landlords were confiscated, including the old mansion.

The old mansion with a history of more than 200 years has been verified by experts and has a certain cultural value, and has been protected and become a scenic spot, although it is still called the old residence of the Li family, but it has almost nothing to do with the Li family.

Liu Cheng took Li Yan to the house of Li Zhenghai, the eldest son of the Li family, and only after asking did he know that Li Zhenghai was the ninth grandson of Li Quan, and Liu Cheng was married to his sister.

The Li family is backward, and the people have not been prosperous, and it is barely improved in Li Zhenghai's generation, in addition to one sister, he also has a younger brother. He has a son and a daughter, both of whom are in college.

When I arrived at Li Zhenghai's house, it was a small courtyard with a single family, and I smelled a strong smell of herbs before I walked in the door.

Liu Cheng explained: "My brother-in-law is in the medicinal herb business, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs in the yard, and this smell is perennial. ”

"Do you have a medicinal herb business?" Li Yan's heart moved, and asked, "What kind of medicinal herbs are involved?"

knocked on the door, Liu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Where and what scale, just go up the mountain to collect some medicine, dry it and sell it on the street, and grow some prince ginseng yourself, just a few acres of land." ”

As he spoke, the door opened, and a very vicissitudes of life face appeared in front of Li Yan, and he couldn't help but think of Chen Aili who was still in the hotel.

Chen Aili is not very old, but he seems to be very vicissitudes, perhaps because of his rough life experience.

Li Zhenghai is similar to Chen Aili, he is several years younger than Liu Cheng, but he looks much older than the other party, because he often goes up the mountain to collect medicine, and the wind and frost leave obvious marks on his face.

"Brother-in-law, why do you have time to come over today?" Li Zhenghai asked with a smile, looking at Li Yan on the side: "This is...; …;”

Liu Cheng told Li Yan's intentions, and Li Zhenghai also felt unreal, and was secretly wary in his heart. It's just that the face doesn't show it.

When I entered the yard, I saw that there were many herbs, all of which were relatively common, such as tangerine peel, honeysuckle, prunella vulgaris, etc., and several of them were medicinal materials needed to prepare healing liquid.

Noticing Li Yan's gaze, Li Zhenghai asked, "Little brother also knows medicinal herbs?"

Li Yan laughed: "Speaking of which, the industry we are engaged in has a lot to do with each other, and I am in the pharmaceutical business. Naturally recognizable these herbs. ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, Li Yan casually pointed out several herbs and told them their main effects one by one, which made Liu Cheng and Li Zhenghai stunned.

"Don't hide it, I'm actually still a Chinese medicine doctor, but I don't open a clinic and don't rely on this to support my family. Li Yan said.

"I really didn't expect it, Little Brother Li is not very old, and he knows a lot of things, some of the pharmacology you just said I didn't know much about before, and today I can be taught. Li Zhenghai said sincerely.

He has been dealing with herbal medicine all year round, and he can also be called half a Chinese medicine practitioner, but he is only at the level of a half-asser, and his knowledge of herbal medicine is far inferior to Li Yan.

You must know that Li Yan got the true biography of Li Shizhen. And Li Shizhen compiled the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and his knowledge of herbal medicine is unparalleled, and many rare and rare Chinese medicines can still be recognized by Li Yan, not to mention that these are very common.

After showing his hand, Liu Cheng and the two had a significant change in their attitude towards Li Yan, and they were much more enthusiastic than before.

made a pot of tea for Li Yan, and Li Zhenghai said embarrassedly: "There is no good tea at home, don't mind Brother Li." ”

Li Yan took two sips, and at the same time looked at the small courtyard, seeing that this house should be some years old.

Li Zhenghai is the only one in the family. Li Yan asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you see my sister-in-law, did you go to work?"

Speaking of this, Li Zhenghai's expression was much darker, and he sighed and said: "It's been many years since the Nei passed away, and there was no money to treat him when he was sick, so it didn't take long to...; …;”

Li Yan's expression froze, and he immediately apologized to Li Zhenghai, but he didn't expect to ask casually and ask about the other party's sadness, and he regretted it very much.

Li Zhenghai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Little brother doesn't need to apologize, I've been used to it for so many years, but fortunately, I have brought up the two children, and I will go underground in the future, and I will have the face to see her." ”

Liu Cheng, who was sitting next to him, also sighed and said: "I have suffered you all these years, I have been both a father and a mother, but fortunately, the two children have a good life and have become famous college students, and the girl will graduate soon. ”

Speaking of the two children, Li Zhenghai showed a look of relief and said proudly: "The children are angry, I have been busy making money all these years, and I don't have much energy to care about them." ”

"I don't know where Ling Yan and Ling Lang are studying in college?" asked Li Yan.

"My daughter is in Modu, and my son is in Funing. Speaking of this, Li Zhenghai raised his head and asked, "Little Brother Li seems to be from Funing, right?"

Li Yan nodded, it was really a coincidence, Li Zhenghai's son is studying in Funing, and he can help when looking for a job in the future.
