The sudden change made Xiao Qiang, who was roasting the field chicken, and Zhang Jingyi, who was drying clothes, suddenly dumbfounded, watching the blood of the old Chinese medicine doctor spray from his mouth, he didn't expect such an unexpected situation!

Looking at the stunned two, the old Chinese medicine doctor was very calm, wiped his lips and smiled reluctantly, "Why are you looking at me like this?" I'm just sick in my chest, and I feel better when I spit blood, you go on. ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor looked at him like he was fine, and he didn't care at all as if he was very accustomed to it, but who is Xiao Qiang? It can be seen from the trace of loss in the eyes of the old Chinese medicine doctor that his heart is definitely not as calm as it seems, and it is not as relaxed and comfortable as he said! Most likely, this old man is seriously ill?

As soon as he thought of getting sick, Xiao Qiang quickly thought of when he was in Jiang Village, and the old Chinese medicine doctor said by Lao Niutou was probably treating himself, and he immediately felt even more credible! This old Chinese medicine doctor is probably suffering from some kind of disease himself, so his range of motion has become smaller, and his body has deteriorated!

"Old man, are you alright?" Zhang Jingyi was a little worried, seeing that he actually took the initiative to chop wood, she couldn't help but care, "Do you want to rest?" ”

"What did you do with this girl? I said, I'm fine, what's the worry about? The old Chinese medicine doctor glared and retorted, "Don't worry, although I'm old, I can't die yet!" ”

Zhang Jingyi was a little aggrieved by the old Chinese medicine doctor, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little red. Xiao Qiang suddenly stopped doing it, frowned and said, "Old man, people just care about you, what kind of tantrum do you have for no reason?" Anyone who spits blood for no reason will be nervous, and we don't mean to hurt you! ”

"Who knows if you really care about me?" The old Chinese medicine doctor's eyes turned cold and said, "Do you really want me to have some terminal illness, and then you can cheat me into getting the formula?" I sue you, there is no door! Let's go, you guys will leave here today, I don't want to see you! ”

"You ......" Xiao Qiang didn't fight in one place, this old Chinese medicine doctor's temper was really weird to death, he was kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, and his mouth was so poisonous, he immediately wanted to step forward to theorize, but Zhang Jingyi hurriedly pushed away to stop it.

"Old Chinese medicine, we really don't mean that, whether you want to give us the formula or not, after this day of getting along, we have treated you as an elder and a friend." Zhang Jingyi said with tears in her eyes, "We really want to care about you, we don't mean anything else, we really ......"

The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at Zhang Jingyi, who looked sincerely, lowered his head and snorted coldly and stopped talking, but began to chop wood with all his might. I don't know if it was because of the vomiting of blood or because the chopping wood was too strong, he began to cough sharply again, and this time he couldn't even stand up straight.

Xiao Qiang's anger gradually subsided, and he didn't have a problem with the strange temper of the old Chinese medicine doctor. However, at this time, he seemed to think of something, and secretly used the little heaven and earth aura left in the Nine Heavens Xuanyu to instill it into his eyes, and secretly saw through his body.

Didn't you insist that you were fine? I'd like to see if you're really healthy!

His eyes fell on the old Chinese medicine doctor's body, and the skin of his body was quickly penetrated by Xiao Qiang's sight, and the blood vessels, organs and other internal structures of the entire body were completely presented in front of him without omission.

I didn't know if I didn't know and was startled, Xiao Qiang quickly stared at the lungs of the old Chinese medicine doctor. The lower half of his left lung has been completely shaded black, and what is even more terrifying is that at the junction of the edge of the lung and the pleura, there is a bulbous lump of flesh similar to a malignant tumor!

Almost instantly, Xiao Qiang understood that the old Chinese medicine doctor was lying, he was not only sick, but also very strict! If he is not mistaken, the old Chinese medicine doctor has lung cancer, which is an incurable disease!

If the old Chinese medicine doctor really got lung cancer, it means that he won't live long! This old man actually wanted to pretend to be indifferent in front of them, it is estimated that he already knew that he was seriously ill, so he would take medicine to heal himself.

After knowing the truth, Xiao Qiang was not angry, but became sad and sympathetic. The old Chinese medicine doctor who has lived like a savage for decades is undoubtedly unlucky, he lived in an unfortunate era and was forced to flee for his life to the mountain, and unfortunately got an incurable disease, God hit him too hard! If he hadn't had lung cancer, he might have lived for ten or twenty years, but now...... I'm afraid it's the end of my life, and I'm only a thin line away from death......

Xiao Qiang really wanted to help the old Chinese medicine doctor, but he was not a doctor, and the Nine Heavens Xuanyu was not an artifact that could bring the dead back to life, and in the face of lung cancer, he was not sure that he could cure it at all. However, he was confident that if he used the aura of heaven and earth to suppress cancer with all his might, he might be able to prolong his life. Of course, this is only a stopgap measure to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

The original hearty breakfast was very plain because of this, the old Chinese medicine doctor drank a few sips of mushroom soup and Tian chicken and then got into the thatched house, and soon a strong smell of Chinese medicine wafted out of the house, he was cooking medicine for himself to cure the disease.

"Xiao Qiang, I think the old Chinese medicine doctor is probably really sick, otherwise he wouldn't have cooked medicine for himself." Zhang Jingyi was still a little worried, "I really don't know what his physical condition is." ”

Xiao Qiang thought for a while before he said euphemistically, "Jingyi, I see that the old Chinese medicine doctor seems to be very sick, do you remember what the old man Niu said?" He may have been sick since two or three years ago, but he has not recovered yet, and even a person with great medical skills like him cannot cure his own disease, and this disease will obviously be very troublesome. ”

"That'...... So what to do? Zhang Jingyi sighed lightly and said, "Although I really want that Chinese herbal formula, I don't want such a good Chinese medicine practitioner to die in the mountains like this, it's really a pity." ”

"People's fate is sometimes unchangeable, what we can do may be to stay in the mountains for these days, accompany him well, and make him more comfortable and happy." Xiao Qiang also sighed, he knew that Yiqiē was no longer able to return to the sky, and this was the only thing he could do.

Since knowing that the old Chinese medicine doctor had an incurable disease, Xiao Qiang began to change his attitude, his attitude was enthusiastic and hard-working, Zhang Jingyi no longer mentioned the illness, but tried his best to help the old Chinese medicine doctor do housework, sort out herbs, and gradually became his deputy, and also learned a lot of herbal knowledge.

Time passed day by day, and the three of them became more and more tacit. The old Chinese medicine doctor's strange temper hasn't changed much, but he has gradually stopped mentioning the words of letting them leave, which can be regarded as a disguised recognition.

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Qiang feels that there is less and less hope. After all, they can't really stay in the mountains all the time, and worldly things can't help them become idle clouds and wild cranes like the old Chinese medicine doctor. In this isolated mountain, information from the outside world cannot be sent, and for the two of them, the day of departure is imminent.

Zhang Jingyi needs to manage Melinda's company, a company full of holes and debts cannot run well without a general manager for a long time, the summer vacation is about to pass, and Xiao Qiang is about to start school to report. However, the old Chinese medicine doctor still kept his mouth shut and did not mention the Chinese herbal formula, which made the two inevitably more and more anxious and lost. It seems that in the end, they will still return in vain......

As usual, after dinner, the old Chinese medicine doctor drank fruit wine and leaned on the sea of flowers to watch the sunset gradually set, while Xiao Qiang and Zhang Jingyi took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Old man, tonight is our last night with you, and tomorrow morning, Jingyi and I will leave and go back." Xiao Qiang sighed, but still had to say out, "You have to pay attention to your body." ”

Zhang Jingyi's pretty face was full of helplessness, and she could see that she was in a very bad mood, and she just silently washed the dishes and chopsticks without saying anything.

Seeing Xiao Qiang's farewell words, the old Chinese medicine doctor did not show any surprise on his face, he was silent for a long time and suddenly said loudly, "Xiao Qiang, Jingyi, accompany me for a while, since you have taken care of me for so many days, I am not a cold-blooded animal, before you leave, I have something I want to give you." ”
