Chapter Thirty-Eight: Looking for the Old Daoist
Three days later, Qin Hongze and I left the hospital at the same time, and at my begging, he took me to find the old man.
Qin Hongze is very talkative, and he tells some jokes to amuse me along the way. I could tell he was a warm-hearted man. After chatting with him, I felt that the relationship was closer, so I also left his contact information.
Qin Hongze drove his own taxi and pulled me directly to Jujia Village in the western suburbs of Jiangzhou. The conditions for rural construction are much better now than when I was younger, and every household has built its own courtyard. The door head is very beautifully decorated. Yes, it would be nice if I had these self-built houses like small villas.
I complimented it. Qin Hongze was even happier to see that I didn't look down on rural people at all. I'm getting more and more enthusiastic. The car drove to the small shop at the entrance of the village and bought me soda. To be honest, I appreciate his thoughtfulness. Because I was thirsty.
After a while, Qin Hongze stopped the car, turned off the engine and said, "We have arrived." ”
I drank my soda and looked at the room in front of me. Although I was mentally prepared when I came, I was still taken aback by what I saw. There was only one old tree in front of the door. The house is old and broken with wooden doors and yellow earthen walls. No wonder the old man's body has such a strong local atmosphere. There was also a brand-new Buick sedan at the door, and the scene looked nondescript.
Qin Hongze said on the side: "Look at the broken here, the master is not short of money, I told the master several times, but he just refused to live in a new house." He stared at the black Buick sedan outside the door and muttered, "Whose car does this car belong to?" ”
I snapped. Hearing the sound of a dog barking at the door, he hesitated for a moment, but followed Qin Hongze into the house. Anyway, my sister has even seen ghosts, and she almost died. Don't be afraid of anything, but also a dog?
As soon as we entered, we saw a big black dog leashed at the door, barking at us. When the dog saw me, he suddenly caught his tail and fell to the ground without saying a word. Look, when the dog saw that his sister was beautiful, he didn't bark anymore.
Listening to Qin Hongze's mouth, he said "huh". I looked into the courtyard and saw two people sitting at the table facing each other in the small courtyard, one was the strange old man, and the other was Li Ruiyuan, director of the Jiangzhou Forestry Bureau, who had come to visit Qin Hongze.
Li Ruiyuan's expression was very surprised when he saw us coming in. "You are"
Qin Hongze said: "I came to find my master. "I kind of gave an answer.
What a coincidence.
The old man glanced at me. He lowered his head again and said to Li Ruiyuan: "You are not strong in blood and qi, you are really sick, go to the doctor as soon as possible." Don't waste your time with me. ”
When Li Ruiyuan heard the old man say this, he immediately said with a smiling face: "Zhang Zhenren, I have been inquiring for a long time before I heard about you, so I asked you to help me see if my disease can be cured?" ”
The old man waved his hand and said unhappily: "Don't call me that, I haven't reached that level, you can just call me Old Man Zhang." I can't cure you. ”
Li Ruiyuan smiled bitterly and continued to beg: "Master Zhang, I really can't help it, since I knew that my family had this genetic strange disease when I was a child, I don't know how many nationally renowned experts I have seen, and now I am only in my 20s, and I have begun to vomit blood inexplicably, I am really afraid that I will not live to be 40 years old like my family." Please help me. ”
Old man Zhang frowned, "If you say you can't cure it, you just can't cure it." Even if you stay here, I can't save you. He turned his head to see me, but smiled a little and said, "Girl, you're here." A mouthful of smoky-blackened teeth was bared
