There is a Yaowang Mountain in the east of Yaoxian County, the top of the five mountains is like a platform, the shape is like five fingers, the original name is "Wutai Mountain", later because the great physician Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty had resigned from the imperial court to answer the call, he lived in seclusion here to practice medicine and help people, so it was called "Yaowang Mountain". During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a Buddhist temple on the mountain, and the people of the past dynasties successively built the temple of Sun Simiao, and later generations worshiped here as the holy place of the medical sect, and the incense was prosperous.

A few miles north of the mountain is Sun Jiayuan, the hometown of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.

At dusk, Youliang and Erya finally arrived at Sunjiayuan, and it was getting late, so the two went to a farmer's house to stay.

The male host, surnamed Sun, was enthusiastic and talkative, and asked Youliang: "Are you two brother and sister?" ”

"It's not."

"I know what I know," he suddenly realized, "you ran away from home, and the old man is really now, what age are they, why should two young people fall in love with each other?" ”

"Do you know Sun Huaiyuan?" Arara asked suddenly.

"Sun Huaiyuan?" Uncle Sun was searching his intestines and scraping his stomach.

"You're asking the big guy's man, right?" Aunt Sun, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out and said, "Both of them passed away more than ten years ago. ”

When Arira heard this, he hurriedly said, "The man died in the army, and the woman died of illness." ”

"In charge, they are talking about the eldest girl and the couple." The woman affirmed.

"By the way, I remembered, Sun Huaiyuan and the eldest girl also had a child, and I heard that they were adopted later." Uncle Sun patted his head.

"That's her." Arira pointed to Erya.

"Oh, really?" The mother-in-law came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, looked at Erya carefully, and said, "Well, she looks quite like the eldest girl." ”

"What's my mother's name?" Erya asked quietly.

"She is my classmate, called Han Daya, but unfortunately she fell ill and died at a young age, and when Sun Huaiyuan came back from the army and got married, I also went to eat and drink." The mother-in-law said regretfully.

"Do you know who else is in my father's family?" Erya asked eagerly.

"Your father's and mother's family members are said to have died in the famine for more than six years, and if there were relatives close to them, the children would not have been given away."

"Where is my mother's grave?"

"It's at the foot of Yaowang Mountain, where is the ancestral cemetery of the Sun family."

"Can you take me to see it?" Erya pleaded.

"I'll take you there tomorrow." Uncle Sun readily agreed.

That night, Youliang slept in the same room with Uncle Sun, and when he was lying on the kang, he asked him about the tomb of the medicine king.

"Sun Simiao's hometown is in our village, and all the people surnamed Sun claim to be his descendants, and there is no way to distinguish the truth from the fake when it is old. It is said that there is a 'Sun Zhenren Tomb' under Wangwu Mountain in Jiyuan, Henan, and then there is an ancestral cemetery of the Sun family under Yaowang Mountain, some people believe that there is Sun Simiao's tomb in that large tomb bag, but there is no stele to prove that 1,300 years, even if there is, it has sunk to the ground. ”

"Have you ever heard of the Medicine King's 'Devouring Needle'?" Arira asked tentatively.

Uncle Sun said he had never heard of it.

"Do you know this person who is Sun Yifeng?" Ariliang described Professor Sun's appearance.

"The Sun family is a big surname, there are a lot of people working outside, you wait, Sun Huaiyuan has a cousin, isn't it called Sun Yifeng?"

Youliang was taken aback.

"That's right, it seems that he is the only one left in their Sun family, but I heard that he died two years ago."

"Dead!" Youliang was even more stunned.

"I'll find out when I go to the village tomorrow and ask." Uncle Sun muttered and fell asleep.

Youliang couldn't sleep all night, this time he came to Sun Jiayuan to harvest, at least he knew the origin of Sun Yifeng, but it must be a misinformation to say that he died, because he was alive and well in the overpass alley of the capital, and he also raised a lot of cats.

Early the next morning, Uncle Sun went out of the city, came back at breakfast, and told Youliang that he had inquired about Sun Yifeng clearly, and that this person was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in a hospital in Tongchuan, and he had indeed died a few years ago, and was also buried in the ancestral cemetery of the Sun family in Yaowang Mountain.

After eating, Uncle Sun led Youliang and Erya to leave Sun Jiayuan with a hoe, and walked south for about four or five miles to the foot of Yaowang Mountain.

There is a flat dam in the valley, basil is overgrown, large and small mounds are scattered in the middle, some of the graves stand in front of the stone monuments, most of them are just a barren hills, very desolate, similar to mass graves.

After searching for a long time among the many graves, I finally saw a mound covered with grass, and a dilapidated granite stone tablet was poured across the ground, and the floating soil was swept away, and the handwriting on it was clearly legible The words "The Tomb of Han Daya" were clearly recognizable, and the date of payment was August 1975.

Erya knelt down on her knees, tears welled up in her eyes, and she murmured: "Mother, Erya sees that you are here, you have been alone here for so many years"

Uncle Sun couldn't help but be a little gloomy when he watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Arara opened the travel bag that Erya carried, took out the burnt paper money prepared in advance and lit it, looking at the faint green smoke, thinking of his tragic death of his parents, his eyes were also red.

Uncle Sun re-dug the soil and erected the stone stele, and then dragged Youliang aside to let Erya whisper something with his mother.

"Sun Yifeng's tomb is over there, and the stele is still quite new." Uncle Sun pointed to a mound at the foot of the mountain.

"Is there anyone else in his house in Tongchuan?" Arira asked.

"I heard that my wife is still there, and the children are all older, Youliang, you two are slowly paying tribute here, I'll go back first, remember to go home for lunch."

"Leave the hoe behind, I want to add some dirt to the grave."

Uncle Sun left the hoe and went back alone.

There were only two people in the whole cemetery, he and Erya, so Youliang picked up the hoe and went straight to the foot of the mountain, and it was easy to find Sun Yifeng's grave, and the name on the stele was still very new. He saw that there was no one around, and although his hands were not flexible, he still gritted his teeth and struggled to dig up the soil, and the mound was moist and soft in the spring, and a large pit was dug out in a short time.

"What are you doing here?" There was an unconcealed exclamation from Er Ya behind him.

"This is Sun Yifeng's grave, I want to see if there is a corpse in it." He replied without replying.

"Are you talking about the professor Sun Yifeng who went to Li Jiagou?" The second girl was stunned.

"That's him, Uncle Sun said he died two years ago."

"He's alive, isn't he?"

"That's why I have to dig it out and take a look."

When Er Ya heard this, she stepped forward and grabbed the hoe and said angrily: "Let me come, grandma's, the one surnamed Sun dug up my father's grave, and I will dig your grave today." ”

After all, she was used to farm work in the countryside, and her temperament was also pungent, and the speed of digging was obviously much faster.

When they pried open the coffin board, they saw that there was only a small ash altar in the huge coffin, and it turned out that the body was also cremated.

"Could it be that Sun Yifeng in the capital is fake?" Erya wondered.

"The ashes alone don't mean much." Arara seemed a little frustrated.

"So what to do?"

"Sun Zhifeng was a doctor at Tongchuan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine before he died, his wife and children are still there, go, take them to the capital to meet Sun Zhifeng." Arira said categorically.

"Can people believe us?"

"Yes." Youliang spoke in a resolute tone.

The two re-buried the grave and restored it to its original state, and then returned to Uncle Sun's house together.

After lunch, they said goodbye to Uncle Sun and left Sun Jiayuan to come to Tongchuan County.

On the wall of the hospital hung a group photo of the hospital staff a few years ago, and Arira found that there was a doctor in a white coat and glasses in the middle of the front row, who was Sun Yifeng, and his appearance had not changed at all, and he still had a serious expression.

"It's really him." Youliang pointed it out to Erya.

"This is Dr. Sun, the most authoritative TCM physician in the hospital, who has been dead for more than two years." A doctor next to him saw the photo of their fingers and said casually.

"Do you know where his family lives?" Arira asked.

"Who are you?"

"We are relatives, Sun Jiayuan."

"Oh, that's Dr. Sun's hometown." The doctor nodded and pointed out the path to Sun Yifeng's house, which turned out to be in the family dormitory area of the hospital.

Finding Sun Yifeng's home, Youliang stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a kind-looking old woman opened the door.

asked if the two of them were from Sun Jiayuan, and the old woman warmly invited them in.

Youliang caught a glimpse of Sun Yifeng's black-framed photo on the wall, so he said straightforwardly: "Sun Yifeng is still alive, why did he hang the posthumous photo?" ”

The old woman laughed when she heard this: "The old man has been dead for two years. ”

"I did see him in the capital, and now I am a teacher at the Huaxia Qigong and Acupuncture Training School, and I am a student of Professor Sun." Ariliang said seriously.

"Impossible, unless you see a ghost." The old woman is colorful.

"I'm Sun Jiayuan's person, how could I admit my mistake? And they often talk together. ”

The old woman stared at Youliang suspiciously, and said slowly for a while: "What you said is true?" ”

"Absolutely."

The old woman hesitantly grabbed the phone on the coffee table, and talked to her son and daughter respectively, asking them to come immediately to discuss important matters.

Not long after, his son Sun Kang and daughter Sun Mei came in a hurry, and both of them had already married and had been singled out.

When they heard that their father was still alive, they didn't believe it, and they kept interrogating Youliang.

"If you don't believe it, forget it, the capital is not far anyway, and you will know the Tao if you take a look." Arira looked indifferent.

"Mother, when I took my father's ashes in the crematorium, it was a bit abnormal in retrospect, the people behind us got the ashes first, and I reasoned with them, and it was almost an hour late to take out the ashes." Sun Kang recalled.

"I also remember, it's a little strange." Sun Mei also said.

The old woman pondered for a moment and looked at Youliang: "Would you like to lead us to meet this Professor Sun?" ”

"Yes, then you know that I'm not lying." Arara agreed.

"In that case, let's take the night train to the capital." Sun Kang said a little impatiently.

The old woman cleaned up, and everyone went out together to Wuyi Road Railway Station and took the evening train to the capital.
