"May I ask my husband, where is this place?" Wang Yi asked the kind-looking old man in front of him.

"This is the old man's house, in the Qiluo Mountain." The old man took the stone bowl handed back by Wang Yi and got up to put it back in its place, answering at the same time.

"......" Wang Yi was a little confused, didn't I ask clearly? He asked again, "Qiluo Mountain?" Uncle, which boundary is this Qiluo Mountain? How far is it from Qianyang City? ”

"This is a place three hundred miles east of Luohe City, which is named after the Luohe River next to it." The old man explained.

"As for Qianyang City, I have never heard of a nearby town called Qianyang. Kid, are you from Qianyang City? ”

"Hmm!" Wang Yi nodded in response, sorting out his memories in his mind and looking for his location on the map.

"It's already so far away from Qianyang. I guess it's seven or eight thousand miles away. ”

Seeing Wang Yi bow his head and fall into deep thought, he didn't look like he wanted to continue talking. The old man was not annoyed that he was rude, and left the hut to go outside and do his own thing.

After a while, Wang Yi came back to his senses from his thoughts, and when he looked up, he found that the old man was no longer in the house.

"Uh...... Where's my husband? Wang Yi was a little puzzled, he was just thinking deeply, and he didn't know that the old man had left.

Feeling that he had regained a lot of strength, Wang Yi got up from the bed and got off the ground, supporting the edge of the bed to move his somewhat weak legs.

Moving his legs step by step, Wang Yi felt that he was really unaccustomed to this, and it took a lot of time to finally move to the door.

The door was gently pushed open by Wang Yi, making a "squeak" sound.

The old man who was busy with his own business outside the house heard the sound of pushing the door, he turned his head to look and found that Wang Yi was standing at the door looking at him at this time.

"You're up."

The old man said, "I saw what you were thinking, so I came out and did my own work, so as not to disturb you." How do you feel now? When I picked you up in the mountains, your body was so empty. ”

Wang Yi blushed slightly, and he made up something in his brain from the old man's words.

First, he fell into contemplation alone and left the old man aside, which was very rude, although the old man did not care.

Second, the old man picked himself up in the mountains, so it should be in the Qiluo Mountain, and although he survived, his body fell into a weak state, and it was the old man who saved his life. Otherwise, you are likely to become the food of wild beasts in a coma in the mountains and forests.

Looking at the medicinal herb-like plants spread on the ground to dry at the old man's feet, Wang Yi understood, it seemed that the old man was collecting medicine in the mountains, and suddenly found himself and kindly saved him, but just now he snubbed his savior.

"Thank you, sir! The grace of saving lives is unforgettable! Xiaosheng thanked his father-in-law. ”

Wang Yi solemnly bowed to the old man and thanked him.

For Wang Yi's behavior, the old man was a little overwhelmed, and the old man hurriedly walked over to help Wang Yi up, and at the same time said: "It's okay, child, this is as it should be, you don't need to be so polite."

The old decay is just at the right time, and none of our Luohe people will not die without help.

Even if you don't encounter old decay, other people will save you. ”

For the simplicity of the old man, Wang Yi was very moved. The great kindness is not grateful, Wang Yi will keep this kindness in his heart, and he wants to repay the old man.

Walking to Wang Yi's side, the old man wanted to help Wang Yi who bowed and saluted, but he saw the clean fine clothes woven from the unknown cloth on Wang Yi's body, and then looked at the coarse cloth clothes and muddy hands on his body that were slightly dusty.

"Get up, get up." The old man didn't know what to do, so he had to open his mouth to let Wang Yi get up. "The old rotten hands are dirty, and it is not easy to help you. Son, get up. ”

When Wang Yi heard this, he straightened up, and saw the old man's hands in embarrassment and didn't know where to put them, and the sharp-eyed Wang Yi saw that there were mud marks in the old man's palms, which should have been left after just fiddling with medicinal materials.

Wang Yi gently held the old man's hand and said softly: "It's okay, uncle, you can wash your clothes if they are dirty, my husband's kindness to me is more important than clothes." ”

"That'...... All right. ”

Hearing Wang Yi's words, no matter what Wang Yi thought in his heart, anyway, the simple old man believed it, and his hand, which was still struggling uneasily, relaxed and was gently held by Wang Yi.

…………

In this way, in order to repay the kindness, Wang Yi stayed with the old man, and followed the old man up the mountain to collect medicine every day. Help the elderly grind medicinal materials, and accompany the elderly to the nearby villages to diagnose the people.

Following the old man, Wang Yi also learned a lot of useful medical knowledge, although there are also many medical classics in the Ghost Valley, but they are not as detailed as the old man's explanation. Wang Yi felt more and more that this ordinary old man was not simple.

…………

On this day, Wang Yi was squatting on the ground to sort out the soil on the newly picked medicinal herbs, and the old man who had been concocting medicinal herbs in the medicinal herb house walked out of the house.

Well, after living with the old man for several years, Wang Yi knew that the old man's surname was Hua, which was not what the old man took the initiative to tell him, but what he got from the people in the nearby villages when he went out with the old man to treat the people.

Usually, Wang Yi usually refers to the old man as his father-in-law. However, after several years of teaching by the old man, Wang Yi has regarded the old man surnamed Hua as his teacher in his heart.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Looking at the old man surnamed Hua who came out, Wang Yi asked curiously.

"Wang Yi, get your things ready, we have to continue to start visiting the people." The old man said.

"Oh...... Good! Wang Yi was a little puzzled, after all, the two of them had just been visiting for the people for a short time, and according to the time rules of the elderly's visits, there should be a few days before they continued to visit the clinic.

However, Wang Yi still replied simply.

Wang Yi stood up and walked to the room where he lived with the old man, and after a while, Wang Yi came out again, carrying a small wooden medicine box on his back.

"I'm ready, sir. Shall we go now? Looking at the old man standing motionless in this small courtyard, Wang Yi asked.

"Huh? Everything is ready for the visit. ”

The old man who was silently watching the surroundings heard this, turned his head to look at Wang Yi, sighed a little gloomy, and said, "Let's go." ”

As he spoke, the old man walked out first, and Wang Yi hurriedly followed.

Seeing that the old man was not in high spirits, Wang Yi was very curious, because the old man had something on his mind.

He followed aside, not knowing whether to ask or not, looking embarrassed.

The old man walking in front noticed Wang Yi's expression, and he asked, "Wang Yi, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine." was answered by Wang Yi dryly, then he looked at the old man's face, and asked timidly: "Uncle, do you have something on your mind?" Can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you. ”

The old man turned his head and glanced at Wang Yi in some surprise, then turned around and continued to walk forward without speaking.

Wang Yi followed stupidly.
