Chapter 10: The Second Uncle's Bag
Han Yushan brothers are from the Yi ethnic group.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, wars broke out, and the Yunnan-Guizhou border was also unstable. The brothers have been orphans for as long as they can remember, with no father or mother, and they don't even have anything to prove their identity, so they don't know their age.
At the beginning, the two were taken in by a traveling beggar, the beggar was not an ordinary person, in Han Yushui's view, it was a hidden master, superb medical skills, strong kung fu, sloppy, but he could play and sing everything, in the eyes of the two brothers at that time, that was a fairy-like figure.
The two worshipped the beggar as their teacher, and while learning kung fu, Han Yushan liked music, so he followed his master to learn music theory and musical instruments; Han Yushui likes medical skills, so he followed his master to learn how to see, hear, ask, and cut, and herbal medicine. To the beggar's delight, these two people were extremely talented, and within a few years of work, they had learned all their skills, and almost had nothing to teach.
At this moment, the master suddenly disappeared for a few days, and a few days later he returned with a soldier and asked the two children, who looked to be only ten years old, to practice a few sets of body movements, and the soldier took the brothers away.
This soldier is General Xie Ruyi.
It's a pity that the next year, General Xie Ruyi was assassinated, and the brothers couldn't find their master, and they became homeless children again. Because the two were not very famous, and they were children, no one noticed their whereabouts. According to Han Yushui, they were wandering and performing at the same time, but they were living well.
Later, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, the brothers, who were excellent at kung fu, were valued by many other warlords, but they were very loyal and vowed not to help any warlords except General Xie Ruyi.
I asked him why he later helped Sun Dianying to steal Tangling?
Han Yushui said that before Sun Dianying stole Dongling, his brothers had been hunted down and killed, and they were saved by Sun Dianying at that time, but the brothers still refused to enter Sun Dianying's warlord army, so they made a promise that if Sun Dianying needed it, they would help Sun Dianying do something.
When Sun Dianying stole Dongling, he was actually very afraid, at that time, many warlords were eyeing Sun Dianying, and even some remnants of the late Qing Dynasty were waiting for an opportunity to move, Sun Dianying thought about it again and again, and decided to call the Han brothers to help him.
After that time, the brothers disappeared again, and Han Yushui said that the brothers lived in seclusion in the forest south of the Jing River until they met a man.
Who is this person, Han Yushui doesn't say, I don't want to know, I just want to know if the two of them have anything to do with my father Gu Wenzhong.
When Han Yushui saw the photo of my father, he immediately shook his head and said that he didn't know it, and as for whether Han Yushan recognized it or not, he didn't know.
I was silent with him for a while, and asked the question I wanted to ask before: "Senior, I wanted to ask you yesterday, you should have told Uncle Ge Wei about the Sun Moon Lotus in Jinsu Mountain, right?" So, do you know where the Sun Moon Lotus is? ”
Han Yushui looked at me suspiciously: "Sun Moon Lotus? When that young man asked me about Sun Moon Lotus, he said that he was poisoned, and the organs of his body were degenerating, could it be that you were also poisoned?! ”
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "I'm not poisoned, but the genetics of our Gu family seem to have changed, and the phenomenon of premature aging began to slowly occur a few generations ago, and it appeared in my father's generation, in his thirties, which is similar to Uncle Ge Wei's poisoning, it is all organ degeneration, so I also need to look for Sun Moon Lotus." ”
"Sun Moon Lotus, this thing ......" Han Yushui frowned: "I don't know if there is such a peculiar effect, and I haven't heard of anyone who has seen the real thing, I know this thing, that is, in Tangling, there is a mural in it, which is very similar to Sun Moon Lotus, and it is marked that it is the hometown of Moyu, I think about it, this Moyu Township should be Fuping, and it is likely to be in Jinsu Mountain." That's why I said that, but it had been too long since I robbed Tanglin, and I didn't know if I remembered it ......or not."
"Tianshan Medicine Garden, do you know?" I didn't even think about it, and asked directly.
After asking, I felt a little regretful, this Tianshan Yao Garden is one of the top ten secret realms, it is top secret, this old-timer......
"Yes." Han Yushui nodded and said, "But that's too illusory, just like the elixir of life, you can listen to a mythical story, but don't take it seriously." ”
Yes, people don't look down on this Tianshan Yao Garden at all, and they think it's a lie.
"Then ......" I thought about it, but I really didn't know what to say: "Well, what about the old general?" ”
"The old general wants to play with his old comrades-in-arms in the military region for a few days, so I will be given a two-day vacation." When Han Yushui said this, he really looked like a worker working for others, not like an ancient predecessor at all, which always sounded weird to me.
"Okay, if you're all right, I'll go back first?" I stood up and whispered.
"Let's go back." Han Yushui's eyes showed a trace of sadness at this time: "I haven't chatted with my brother for many years, I live here tonight, you can go back." ”
I nodded, opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but I didn't know where to start, so I said hello to the old-timers, and when I was about to leave, Han Yushui stopped me again: "You wait a while." ”
I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head back: "Is there anything else to do, senior?" ”
"You said that you Gu family have premature aging?" Han Yushui's ruddy old face looked at me and asked.
I nodded, "Yes." ”
"Give me your hand." Han Yushui nodded at me.
I just came back to my senses, this senior Han Yushui, but a famous doctor! Hurriedly stretched out his hand, the old man put his hand on my vein, trumpeted for nearly ten minutes, and looked up at me: "Spleen deficiency, stomach cold, a little kidney deficiency, and more importantly, you seem to have some cardiovascular problems, although they are not considered diseases, but if you talk about the phenomenon of premature aging, count." ”
"Huh?!" My heart suddenly felt like falling into a big stone: "This, this, I won't tell you, just now, I still felt that I didn't have premature aging, and I was relieved for a long time, ...... you said this."
Han Yushui waved his hand: "What I'm telling is the truth, but seriously, most young people have your physical condition now, just take care of it." However, you said that the premature aging of your Gu family is caused by genetics, and I can't judge this. ”
"How to recuperate?" I immediately wilted, I really didn't expect that I, a man who usually prides himself on being very strong, turned out to be a strong man with a strong outside and a dry skin.
"I'll write it to you." Han Yushui reached out and took his father's notebook, opened it from behind, found a pen in the desk, wrote a prescription and handed it to me: "If your second uncle is the same, you can also eat it." ”
I nodded, kept thanking me, Han Yushui told me a few more words, I left in a trance, stood at the mouth of the alley and watched for a while, sighed for some reason, returned to the teaching building to find Teacher Zheng, thinking that no one went there to check, so I didn't tell him about Han Yushui's situation in the house.
When I came out of Huimin No. 3 Middle School, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and I called a few friends who I hadn't seen for a long time to have dinner, stayed in the hotel for one night, and rushed back to the antique store early the next morning.
I handed my father's diary to the second uncle to look at, but the second uncle couldn't find any valuable clues.
"What now?" I looked at the second uncle with a bitter face: "Could it be that our grandfather and son are going to wait for death?!" ”
To be honest, after learning about Progeria, my mindset is slowly changing.
The second uncle looked at me and shook his head, muttered for a while, got up and beckoned me, "Xiaorui, you come up with me." ”
I glanced at the second uncle suspiciously, I didn't know what he was going to do, I was stunned, but I still stood up and followed the second uncle to the dark secret room again.
A few of the safes I had left with my friend had been pulled back and relocated in this secret room.
The second uncle turned on the light, walked to a small safe, and began to open it.
I've never seen this safe before, silver, brand new, I don't know what my second uncle bought it for.
The second uncle quickly opened the safe, took out a leather bag from it, pulled out another folder from the leather bag, and handed it to me: "Open it and take a look." ”
I let out an "oh", I don't know what it is, a folder, and it is hidden so deep by the second uncle. After opening it and reading a few pages, I was stunned......
