Chapter 30: Phoenix Tail Seven

Kiritawado has been around for decades. From www.biquge.info the first day of the opening, the doctor of Tonghetang is Renshouchuan, which is now over the age of antiquity, but the body is extremely tough. Tonghetang's old rule of not accepting medical fees for medicine has been the same for decades, and it has not changed so far. Every time there is a disease that spreads in the city, Tonghetang is always the first to come up with a prescription to control the disease, and the prepared medicine is widely distributed to the people, it is the old shopkeeper of Tonghetang, that is, Lin Xiuyuan's father Lin Ziye, whose prestige has been very high for decades.

Lin Ziye is open-minded by nature and likes to make friends, Tonghetang is overcrowded every day, and many people are not here to see a disease, but to find Lin Ziye. In recent years, Lin Ziye has been ill, so he simply handed over Tonghetang to Lin Xiuyuan, lived in a quiet place in the backyard, studied medical books and pharmacopoeia every day, and didn't like others to disturb him, so the number of people who came to the door gradually decreased.

Lin Xiuyuan's mother died when he was a child, and his temperament was completely different from his father's. He has a calm and quiet personality, few words, not smiling, and is known as cold than ice. He has been exposed to it since he was a child, and after taking over the Tonghetang from his father, he continued the style of the Tonghetang, giving wide favors to the people and relieving the orphans, and the prestige of the Tonghetang is even better than before. Lin Xiuyuan has been learning medical skills with Renshouchuan since he was a child, and his skills are higher than those of ordinary doctors. It's just that he has a cold personality, and now he is close to his age, and he has not yet married.

In the past few months, there have been more than a dozen cases of strange diseases in the city, and Renshouchuan's prescription can only temporarily alleviate them, not cure them. Ren Shouchuan has not seen this kind of symptom for decades, he went to the backyard to find Lin Ziye, who is closed all the year round, and the two of them read a lot of ancient medical books, and finally came up with a prescription, the others are ordinary medicinal materials, only one herb is extremely difficult to obtain, that is, phoenix tail seven.

Phoenix tail seven, is a folk precious herb, grows in the rock crevices of the top of the mountain, because of its above-ground part shaped like a phoenix tail and get this name. There are phoenix tail seven on the top of Lingshan Mountain, but the mountain road is extremely difficult to walk, and the higher you go, the colder it becomes, and the average person turns back halfway up. Even if you can withstand the bitter cold and reach the top of the mountain, if you don't have extremely high skills, it will be difficult to pick the phoenix tail seven from the steep cliff wall.

Ren Shouchuan informed Lin Xiuyuan of this matter, and Lin Xiuyuan thought twice and decided to go to Lingshan in person, in his mind, this was his unshirkable responsibility.

It's just that he didn't expect that at the foot of Ling Mountain, he met a person, and they went to Ling Mountain together, and this person's dying instructions almost changed the fate of the rest of his life.

Because of this entrustment, he fell into an emotional whirlpool that almost submerged him, and he was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself, and it was impossible to get out of it with his whole body. Perhaps, this is also the fate that he can't escape.

Lun Shiqing had seen her before she was engaged to Xue Zhao, and at that time, Xue Zhao followed Ling Bo to the mountains to collect medicines, and if they picked valuable medicinal materials that were difficult to find, they would come to Lun's pharmacy to sell them. Xue Zhao was not tall at that time, thin and small, with a bun on his head, carrying a medicine basket on his back, following behind Ling Bo, his small face was innocent and cute. Lun Shiqing is different from his eldest brother, he prefers to stay in his father's medicinal herb shop and follow some older pharmacists to tinker with medicinal herbs. As he grew older, Lun Wanjian let the second son participate more in the affairs of the pharmacy, and let the eldest son study with peace of mind.

Lun Shiqing knew a lot more about his father's friendship with Fu Wangye than his eldest brother, such as the conditions that Fu Wangye proposed to his father. And when he knew that his father had agreed to his relationship with Xue Zhao, he went to find Xue Zhao. At that time, Yu Qingyuan had already left for the West, and the fate of Xue Zhao and the Yaoqin left by Yu Qingyuan were firmly tied together. She told him that the piano had been made by her father with the best part of his life, that it was her father's life, that it was hers, and that it was even more important than theirs.

Lun Shiqing thought about it again and again, according to the conditions proposed by Prince Fu, the only way was to find the medicinal herb Fengwei Qi in order to help Xue Zhao keep that Zhang Yaoqin.

At the foot of Ling Mountain, Lin Xiuyuan and Lun Shiqing hit it off at first sight. Although they are both sons from a family of medicinal herbs, Lun Shiqing is far less physically strong than Lin Xiuyuan. Lin Xiuyuan lost his mother when he was a child, Lin Ziye found him a master who practiced martial arts, he followed the master to practice martial arts for more than 20 years, and his skills were far above Liu Zhi and Jingran, but no one had ever seen him fight against anyone. In addition to practicing martial arts, he also has a special gentleman to teach poetry and books, he is a very intelligent person, and it is natural to be familiar with poetry and books, but like his father, he is more interested in studying medical books and pharmacopoeia.

They walked together, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Lun Shiqing suffered from a cough disease, and it did not improve, he coughed day and night, but he still insisted on refusing to go down the mountain. Thanks to Lin Xiuyuan's care all the way, it would have been almost impossible for him to reach the top of the mountain. When he reached the top of the mountain, he could not bear the bitter cold at all, coughing up blood every day, and finally he was exhausted and collapsed under the cliff where the phoenix tail grew. Before dying, he told Lin Xiuyuan all the conditions proposed by Prince Fu and the matter of Xuezhao, and asked Lin Xiuyuan to help him take care of Xuezhao and protect her after he went down the mountain.

Lin Xiuyuan carried Lun Shiqing's body down the mountain, but fortunately, the top of the mountain was bitterly cold, and the body did not decompose. He handed the body over to the servants of the Lun family who were waiting halfway up the mountain, and they brought it back to the Lun Mansion.

Lin Xiuyuan climbed to the top of the mountain alone and came to the bottom of the steep cliff.

Although his skills are extremely high, it took him half a month to pick the phoenix tail seven. During this period, he tried all kinds of methods, knotting ropes, climbing rocks, and finally he made a tool himself - a long stick that could be retracted, tied an iron hook firmly at one end, and tied to his body at the other end, and finally climbed to the highest point of the cliff after countless failures, and picked the phoenix tail seven.

He went down the mountain and found the person entrusted to him by Lun Shiqing, he never thought that it was such a weak and strong woman, no wonder Lun Shiqing could give his life in order to help her save the qin. At the beginning, Lin Xiuyuan was going all out to fulfill his promise to Lun Shiqing, but gradually, he felt that his thoughts about her were no longer so simple. He would involuntarily think of her and want to do everything in his power to protect her; When I can't see her, my inner thoughts grow like a creeper; When he was with her, he felt her smile, sadness and happiness; Every time she was hurt, it was like a pain in his skin. It was a feeling he had never felt in thirty years of his life, and he fell uncontrollably into the abyss. He longed so much for her to be safe and happy, even if it wasn't him who was with her in the end.

At this time, Xue Zhao decided to come to Lin Xiuyuan. In order for Cang Shizhu to recover, she can do anything. He almost lost his life for her, and asked her to beg Lin Xiuyuan for Fengwei Qi, what reason did she have to excuse herself?

Of course there is, maybe this time, she and Lin Xiuyuan will never be possible again. She begged for the phoenix tail seven that he had obtained for another man, so what qualification did she have in the future to hold that bunch of purple-red peppercorns and call his name in her dreams with tears.
