Chapter 165: Three-hundred-year-old man
Listen up, that old fellow!
Chu He's pupils shrank slightly, and he almost really forgot about this old guy.
Calling a respected president an "old guy" really doesn't mean to deliberately belittle him, but Chu He knows the shocking secret of this Tinglou president.
That's an old man who has lived for three hundred years, a real old guy!
"Good! Find a time to take me to meet President Tinglou, I really have something to look for him. Chu He said.
Qin Renhe and Tinghui Chun and the others didn't know why, but they couldn't think of anything else, so they naturally nodded and agreed.
Their efficiency was also quite fast, and it had already been arranged the next day, and they were very grand when they heard that Hui Chun actually came to pick up Chu He in person.
After all, the entire Chinese Medicine Association needs to rely on the power of Chu He.
The vehicle kept walking towards the suburbs, almost leaving the magic capital.
"My grandfather is not in good health, and he has hardly cared about the affairs of the Chinese Medicine Association over the years. It's just that there is no suitable candidate for the president, so he has always served as the president. Listening to Hui Chun, he showed a wry smile.
Chu He looked at the scenery outside, the outside was lush, the air was very good, and there was less noise in the city, which seemed very quiet.
"However, with Mr. Chu here this time, I believe that my grandfather can retire and let him enjoy his old age in peace!" Listening to the rejuvenation added.
"I'm afraid your grandfather doesn't want to retreat so quickly!" Chu He suddenly added one more sentence.
Hearing that Hui Chun just smiled and shook her head, she knew that even if her grandfather had such thoughts, his body would definitely not allow it.
When Chu He sees his grandfather, he will change his mind.
After driving for more than twenty minutes, I finally came to a huge manor.
There are all kinds of flowers and plants planted here, and they are beautifully maintained, and there are a few very leisurely people in front of the gate, chatting.
When they saw the car coming, they all came up one after another.
Because of the rejuvenation, the subordinates were respectful, and soon Chu He saw the old man in Tinglou.
He was already full of gray hair, sitting in a wheelchair, with his back hunched and a blanket draped over his knees.
His eyes were only slightly open, and the bags under his eyes were particularly large, listless and drowsy, like an ordinary old man who had been sick for a long time.
"Grandpa, this is the Mr. Chu He I told you about—" Listening to Hui Chun's introduction, he said.
"Oh, yes, yes!" Tinglou opened his eyes tiredly, and there was not the slightest trace of energy in his cloudy eyes.
Chu He stood there, looking at the old man in front of him without blinking, excited in his heart, he finally found him.
"Listen to the rain building, look up to the name for a long time!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man in the wheelchair trembled, and it seemed that he couldn't control his body at all, and he suddenly looked up at Chu He.
Listening to Hui Chun, he said: "Mr. Chu He, my grandfather's name is Tinglou." It's not listening to the rain building. ”
"Oh, that's my mistake." Chu He smiled and said, "Let me talk to your grandfather alone." ”
Listening to Huichun frowning slightly, at this time, what else is there to let her avoid?
It's just that she didn't ask too much and quit.
All of a sudden, there were only two people left in the entire living room, Chu He and the old man listening to the building.
Chu He suddenly became very relaxed, sat aside, picked up the cup of tea, first put it to his mouth and smelled it, and felt a little dissatisfied, so he poured it into the cup next to him.
"I said, listen to Yulou, you can't recruit people, this cup is the first cup of tea, and I don't know how to wash it."
As he spoke, he poured a second cup himself, and was only slightly satisfied.
"Who are you?" The old man's hoarse voice came out again, but this time it was less weak and weaker than before, and a little more resolute.
"My name is Chu He. Didn't you just introduce it? Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you. ”
Chu He knew that he must have frightened this old man, although this Tingyulou had lived for three hundred years, but he didn't have much powerful skills, and he didn't have any amazing martial arts.
The reason is very simple, he did call Yulou when he was young, but he didn't know that he could live so long, and he was also living in exile.
When he was one hundred and twenty years old, he suddenly realized that he seemed to live longer than everyone else.
It's just that the Qing Dynasty was about to fall at that time, and he didn't have too many worries, and he lived for decades in a daze, until he overthrew the Qing government, and he suddenly wanted to do something.
But what can he do as an old man?
It took decades to establish a mysterious power called "Listening to the Rain Tower".
Originally, it was to help everyone, but then it slowly evolved and simply changed to the Chinese Medicine Association, and he also changed his name in order not to arouse suspicion.
Now it's changed to the word Tinglou.
"What do you want to do? Little offspring. Tinglou said in a deep voice.
"I know your secret, but it's not actually your fault to live long. You're worried about being caught researching, right? Chu He said.
"You know !!"
Tinglou's body trembled, and he stood up from the wheelchair all of a sudden, this has been three hundred years, and he has always hidden it well.
Sometimes, even if it arouses suspicion, others think that it is just an old ignorance, or that it is really a wrong name.
But how did the Chu River in front of him know?
"Yes, I know. In the past 300 years, you have been scared every day, aren't you hard? Chu He said leisurely again.
Tinglou's eyes looked at Chu He without blinking, and his originally cloudy eyes burst out with a burst of fine light.
He said slowly, "Do you know what death tastes like? Are you scared? ”
"Don't be afraid. I've died many times, and of course I know what it's like. Chu He replied.
"No, you don't know. I have lived for three hundred years, and I am not afraid of death. When a person has experienced a lot, tasted the ups and downs of the world, and watched his loved ones leave, he will become not afraid of death. And you, how old are you? You really shouldn't have come to blackmail me. Tell me, how did you know my secret? ”
Tinglou said again, his eyes did not leave Chu He's eyes, as if he wanted to know all the secrets from Chu He's eyes.
"You lived for three hundred years, you can't explain it yourself, can you? I know, by chance. I'm here to help you today, and if you want to die, you can do so at any time, just go in and light the gas. Why should you live and refuse to leave the world? Chu He said.
"You won't understand. I'm not greedy for life or death, I think every day that one day I'm going to die, you know? My eyes are almost invisible, and when people live to be two hundred years old, their tongues will lose their sense of taste, and I don't want to die, I just hope that one day, people can crack the secret of longevity. ”
Listening to Lou's hoarse voice, he was a little sad and angry, he really wanted to use himself as an experiment, and asked all scientists to study why he could live so long.
But he studied medicine all his life, and he studied biology too much in Chinese and Western medicine, and even taught two biologists himself.
Eventually, he knew that there was no science to prove why he had lived so long.
"Listen to Yulou, don't be nervous, maybe, I can help you!"
