Zhang Tianzheng frowned and thought about it, and then said loudly, "Then can you tell me the place where the old Chinese medicine doctor treated you last time?" In any case, we have to try, first find a few places where the old Chinese medicine doctor used to rest and live, and if we can't find it, then find another way. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Lao Niutou nodded and said, "I remember that the villager who met the old Chinese medicine doctor met him on Jigong Mountain, three kilometers southeast of Jiang Village, and the agreed treatment site was on a hill at the southern foot of Jigong Mountain, where there was a thatched house built by the old Chinese medicine doctor himself. ”

Jigong Mountain! Xiao Qiang's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhang Tianzheng, "Grandpa, when I was a child, you carried me up the mountain to find an old Chinese medicine doctor for treatment, are you also in Jigong Mountain?" ”

"No, the mountain I took you to is Kunming Mountain, which is located in Jigong Mountain and is five kilometers deep, but we walked for a whole day and a half to get there." Zhang Tianzheng said, "It seems that we can only take one step at a time, and first go to the two points of Jigong Mountain and Kunming Mountain to find out." ”

Xiao Qiang and Zhang Jingyi looked at each other, and their eyes showed a rather helpless look. There are no major clues at the moment, and it seems that this is the only way.

"Old Niutou, did you talk to the old Chinese medicine doctor during your treatment? Is there anything worth noting? Zhang Tianzheng knocked on the side and said, "For example, did the old Chinese medicine doctor say anything like what he wants to do next?" ”

The old bull head struggled to remember for a moment, and then he spoke, "I found the old Chinese medicine doctor on the mountain and spent a total of three or four days with him. He had a strange temper and was reluctant to talk much, only asking me a few words during treatment. Sometimes I took the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't answer a word. Once, when I asked him why he stayed in Jigong Mountain, he said that he came to Jigong Mountain to pick a precious Chinese herb to treat his illness. I was very strange and asked him if he had any other patients besides me? He smiled and didn't answer, saying that the disease was much more incurable than mine. ”

"You mean...... In addition to treating you, this old Chinese medicine doctor is also treating other people? Zhang Tianzheng was surprised and said, "Won't it?" In this mountainous area within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is only one mountain village, Jiang Village, I have never heard of anyone in the village who was treated by the old Chinese medicine doctor more than two years ago? ”

"I wondered at the time, but the old Chinese medicine doctor didn't say anything." When the old bull head said this, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh yes, when I was treating in Jigong Mountain, there was also a situation where the old Chinese medicine doctor fainted. When he woke up, he was fine, just said that he was too tired and needed to rest, but I saw that his face was very bad at that time, and his body was shaking when he walked, and he didn't know what was going on. ”

Xiao Qiang's heart sank suddenly, he had a bold guess, and couldn't help but say loudly, "Is it possible...... Is it the old Chinese medicine doctor who is sick himself? He's going to heal himself? ”

As soon as his words came out, everyone was immediately surprised, but soon, Zhang Tianzheng patted his thigh and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense, it is likely that the old Chinese medicine doctor himself is sick!" ”

"That's the end of it...... old Niu Tou said with some regret, "The old Chinese medicine doctor is very old, if he really gets seriously ill, how dangerous should it be to live alone in this barren mountain and wilderness?" More than two years have passed, will it be ......"

"No, it won't!" Zhang Jingyi stood up violently and said excitedly, "I believe that the old Chinese medicine doctor will be able to cure his illness and survive!" ”

Xiao Qiang can completely understand Zhang Jingyi's excitement, after all, the old Chinese medicine doctor is the last hope of Melinda's company and the last hope of the Zhang family, and she must not let this hope in her heart be dashed!

However, the truth is often cruel, if the old Chinese medicine doctor was really seriously ill more than two years ago, then I am afraid that it is really bad luck now. But because it didn't stimulate Zhang Jingyi, Xiao Qiang didn't say this, but analyzed, "If the old Chinese medicine doctor is really seriously ill himself, then I think he will definitely not walk around like before, but will definitely concentrate on finding a place to settle down and do his best to treat his body's diseases." In other words, it is very likely that the old Chinese medicine doctor is still on Jigong Mountain, or Kunming Mountain! ”

"If the old Chinese medicine doctor is really seriously ill, it is indeed possible." Zhang Tianzheng nodded and agreed, "After all, if a person is sick, the range of activities will undoubtedly be greatly limited. ”

"Well, in this way, the illness of the old Chinese medicine doctor is an opportunity for us. Xiao Qiang, without further ado, let's set off into the mountains! Zhang Jingyi said seriously and excitedly, "I must see the old Chinese medicine doctor and ask him for help!" ”

"Leaving today? Isn't it too hasty? Zhang Tianzheng didn't expect Zhang Jingyi to be so resolute, and hurriedly said, "That's it, you stay at home, I'll go to Kunming Mountain in Jigong Mountain to help you find it, if you find it, how about letting you go?" ”

"Grandpa, how can this be? You are old, what should you do if you run into danger when you climb such a high mountain and such a long road? It's better for me and Jingyi to go, it's more convenient. "Xiao Qiang is still full of confidence in himself, after all, he has the Nine Heavens Xuanyu in his hand, and various special abilities can help him at least not get lost, and he can also deal with the beasts in the mountains. What's more, he also went to Jigong Mountain and Kunming Mountain when he was a child, and he knew which direction it was, so he didn't need his grandfather to be a guide.

Zhang Tianzheng shook his head and said, "Xiao Qiang, the mountain roads in the deep mountains and old forests are not so easy to walk, not to mention that they are sparsely populated, there are many wild beasts, some roads are rugged and difficult to walk, it is easy to get lost, Miss Zhang is used to staying in the big city, I'm afraid I can't bear it?" ”

"Don't worry, grandpa, I have already prepared the positioning equipment, it doesn't matter if Jingyi can't bear it, I can help her walk together, as long as you tell me the general direction." We also had a camping tent and sleeping bags with us, so there would be no problem. Xiao Qiang said, "Jingyi is a patient, if she doesn't go, even if she finds the old Chinese medicine doctor, it's useless, so it's better for us to go." ”

Zhang Tianzheng is still very worried, he is from the mountains, of course he knows the danger in the mountains, how can a delicate little girl like Zhang Jingyi be able to bear it? However, seeing Xiao Qiang and Zhang Jingyi's firm eyes and gaze, he was embarrassed to speak again.

"Brother Zhang, let's do it, my wolf dog Xiao Huan is very familiar with the mountain roads over there, and I took it with me last time I went for treatment, so let it go with Xiao Qiang, with Xiao Huan, these beasts in the mountains will also be a little scared, and if there is danger, you can give them a sound alarm, so that safety is guaranteed." When the old bull head said this, seeing that Zhang Tianzheng had no objection, he whistled outside.

Soon a large brown and black wolfdog rushed in at the door, and without hesitation, he threw himself into the arms of the old bull. The old bull head smiled and stroked its thick hair, and whispered as if he was commanding something, the wolf dog actually fell on Xiao Qiang like a psychic, stuck out his tongue and walked over slowly, licked his palm, and said hello.

This scene made Zhang Tianzheng couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Old Niu, Old Niu, you guy doesn't seem to have done anything recently, so he patronized and trained this dog, don't say it, this dog has spirituality!" ”

"That is, my dog Xiaohuan is a breed of military dog, so he is naturally psychic!" The old bull head said a little proudly, "Xiao Qiang, you take it with you when you go, you only need to give it some meat to eat, and it will become a good guide and guard." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Niu." Xiao Qiang touched Xiao Huan's head, and undoubtedly liked this wolf dog full of spirituality.

"Without further ado, Xiao Qiang, let's go back and get ready to go. I didn't find an old Chinese medicine doctor for a day, and my heart was not steady. Zhang Jingyi took the initiative to get up and say goodbye, "Target Jigong Mountain, I must find the old Chinese medicine doctor in the mountains!" ”
