Chapter 205: The Road to Mortality (II)
Time passes, the years are in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, ten years pass like flowing water!
Ten years have passed, and Chen Xiaoming's appearance no longer looks young, but middle-aged, and his originally handsome face has gradually become more wrinkled at this time.
Like the old king next door, his appearance is deliberately done with spells, after all, his road to mortal transformation is not over yet.
In the past ten years, Chen Xiaoming has changed a lot, and the original outstanding figure has gradually dissipated in the ten years of busyness, and the faint fairy aura that was unconsciously revealed has also been worn out in time.
Chen Xiaoming seems to have really turned into a mortal, although his body is still straight, but it looks like there is no difference from a middle-aged mortal who has been busy all his life.
"Squeak."
Pushing open the door as usual, the cool breeze in the late autumn season blew, bringing up the withered yellow leaves on the ground, and a chill rushed to his heart, Chen Xiaoming couldn't help but tighten the thick coat on his body, and the fur hat on his head pressed downward.
Brunching his neck, wrapping his hands, he walked slowly towards the restaurant not far away.
"Squeak."
A soft sound came from behind him, Chen Xiaoming stopped his steps, turned his head and looked over, a figure with a slightly old face, bent over his waist, the collar of the coat he wore outside was erected, and he was firmly wrapped to resist the invasion of the cold wind.
The figure is the old Wang next door in Huafan, Chen Xiaoming's pace is stagnant, waiting for each other, in the past ten years, Chen Xiaoming has chatted with Wang Lin a few times, but it is only a general talk, and there is not much deep friendship.
Wang Lin has a cold personality and is bent on enlightening the Tao, while Chen Xiaoming also wants to comprehend cause and effect with the help of the mortal.
Between the two, apart from daily meetings, there is little talk.
"Squeak, squeak."
Stepping on the fallen dead leaves, making a soft sound, Wang Lin looked at Chen Xiaoming's figure, obviously stunned, but then he didn't care, and walked towards Chen Xiaoming slowly.
At this time, a rather sturdy young man walked out of the blacksmith shop opposite, he was carrying a bucket of waste charcoal in his hand, and after leaving the shop, he saw Wang Lin and Chen Xiaoming, so he grinned and said, "Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang, you two are going to listen to the play together?" ”
Wang Lin stopped his pace, turned around, and said with a smile: "Da Niu, bring me two pots of wine." ”
The young man answered, poured the charcoal in his hand aside, and hurried into the shop, and not long after, he ran over with two wine jugs, his eyes showed concern, and said: "Uncle Wang, you are old, drink less of this wine, just drink to warm your body." ”
After speaking, the small eyes in his eyes glanced at Chen Xiaoming behind Wang Lin with a little fear, and saw that he seemed to hear it and was walking step by step.
"Big cow, I saw how honest you were when you were a child, how did you grow up to be like your father. This wine is a good thing, how can it hurt the body. Don't forget, I'm ........"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Chen, you are a doctor, you are right."
The young man lowered his head and replied again and again, ten years have passed, and he is no longer the young man who didn't understand anything at the beginning.
However, for Chen Xiaoming, Da Niu still respects each other from the heart.
In ten years, Uncle Chen has become truly famous in the imperial capital with his medical skills, coupled with his willingness to provide free medical treatment for the poor, his virtues make this neighbor who is not impressed.
However, the latter is not perfect, usually lazy character, sometimes sitting in the restaurant is an afternoon, and likes to drink a little wine, if anyone says that he is not good at drinking, he will rely on his identity as a doctor, saying a bunch of crooked reasoning.
"Hmph, count your kid with eyesight."
Taking another pot of fruit wine from the latter's hand, Chen Xiaoming snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows and glared at Da Niu, stuffed the wine jug in his coat, wrapped his clothes, turned around and left slowly.
Wang Lin smiled slightly, took the wine jug, patted Da Niu's shoulder, and turned around and left slowly.
Da Niu looked at the backs of Chen Xiaoming and Wang Lin leaving, and there was a bitter taste in his heart, in the past ten years, Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen in his eyes have aged a lot, and he still remembers the heroic faces and star-like eyes of the two ten years ago.
Ten years have passed like this, and Da Niu suddenly sighed in his heart today, sighed in his heart, and slowly turned around and got busy.
In the late autumn season, the wind was full of coldness, Chen Xiaoming and Wang Lin walked side by side, walking slowly all the way, no one had any communication, and they seemed a little silent.
After a while, the two came to a restaurant at the corner of the street, and as soon as they entered, the guy in the restaurant, a rather clever young man with a towel on his shoulder, immediately smiled and said: "Ho, shopkeeper Wang, Dr. Chen, what is the wind today, let the two come together, hurry, please come in." ”
"Doctor Chen, is it still the same?"
In ten years, the business of the hospital has gradually stabilized, and Chen Xiaoming has gradually spent more time in the restaurant, especially in the last three years, Chen Xiaoming will come almost every day, and the guys in the store have long been familiar with it.
"Well, just share a table with Shopkeeper Wang today."
Commanded softly, Wang Lin's eyes flashed in his eyes, and he was silent, which was considered to be a response.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Wang, Doctor Chen, please come here."
As he spoke, he walked a few steps briskly to the position of the east head by the window, swept the towel in his hand, and bent back.
Chen Xiaoming sat on the bench and took out the fruit wine in his arms, and Wang Lin on the other side also sat down.
After a while, the man served a few plates of side dishes, and served a small charcoal pot, in which boiling water was boiling, Chen Xiaoming put the wine pot in his hand in the small pot and began to warm the wine.
The fruit wine was heated in boiling water, and Chen Xiaoming and Wang Lin were idle for a while.
Chen Xiaoming's eyes also looked at Wang Linlai, he didn't use immortal energy, nor did he use the power of blood, etc., he just watched quietly, Chen Xiaoming hadn't used immortal qi for a long time.
"The wine is ready, come."
The fruit wine in the small pot was taken out, poured a glass, and handed it to Wang Lin, Chen Xiaoming poured himself another glass, took a sip gently, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked at the restaurant comfortably.
A few piano and rap plays, walking out of the back room, the woman who led the singing looked forward to it, and the water sleeves danced,
The voice is quite beautiful, and the drinkers in the inn applauded again and again.
Wang Lin picked up the wine handed by Chen Xiaoming, took a sip, and listened to it with Mimi in his eyes, but there was no abnormality because Chen Xiaoming was there, as if he was really a mortal.
At the same time, Chen Xiaoming, who was listening to the music comfortably, also closed his eyes slightly, indulged in the opera, and from time to time picked up the fruit wine on the table and took a sip in his mouth.
Just when Chen Xiaoming and Wang Lin were listening to the music quietly, a noisy sound suddenly sounded, and then they saw an old man in a gray cotton robe, his hair was messy, his face was blue and purple, and there were several big footprints on his chest.
As soon as I entered the door, my eyes swept over, and a somewhat obscene voice sounded: "Yo, this little lady sings well, hooked me from the north of the city, good!" ”
Chen Xiaoming raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but glance at Wang Lin beside him, the moment he saw the old man just now, Chen Xiaoming caught the fleeting essence from the latter's eyes.
"Brother Wang, do you know?"
His eyes swept over the old man, and Chen Xiaoming had a trace of confirmation of the latter's identity, and asked Wang Lin knowingly.
"Well, there was a while."
Wang Lin calmed down, the old man had deceived him for a meal many years ago, but the latter's strength, Wang Lin couldn't figure it out, and he was taking the road of transformation into a mortal, so he didn't care.
I never thought that after many years, I would be able to see it again.
"Oh? Meeting is fate. ”
Chen Xiaoming pretended to be amazed, and then shouted to the restaurant owner not far away, and whispered a few words in his ear, the latter frowned, but after glancing at Chen Xiaoming, he still responded.
"Forget it, let him come in and take him to Dr. Chen."
His brows were furrowed, and there was a bit of disgust in his words, if Chen Xiaoming hadn't opened this mouth, he would never have let a beggar in.
"Hmph, it's your boss who has a vision."
As soon as he heard the restaurant owner speak, the old beggar snorted arrogantly, and the angry restaurant guy was angry, but he was helpless.
"Let's go."
He said angrily, even if the guy was unwilling, but he couldn't show it, if you ask who is most likely to help this beggar in this huge restaurant, it can only be the kind-hearted and benevolent Dr. Chen.
After a while, the man took the old beggar to Chen Xiaoming and Wang Lin, and then said respectfully to Chen Xiaoming and Wang Lin, and then retreated.
"Sit down."
Chen Xiaoming smiled lightly, and casually pointed to the stool added to the side, but he didn't stay on the old beggar too much.
"Hey, you kid, huh?"
The old beggar stared at Chen Xiaoming with a smile, and glanced at Wang Lin on the side, which was originally swept away, but he was instantly stunned, turned around, looked carefully, and then said with a strange look on his face.
"It's you!"
