Hearing the old lady say this, I immediately said: "So, my second uncle brought me here to ask for medicine? ”

The old lady nodded, but I still didn't understand a little, "Mother-in-law, according to what you said just now, I was already very sick at that time, but why did the second uncle still travel a long way to bring me to Sichuan?" Aren't you afraid that I'll hang up halfway? ”

"Actually, your second uncle had no choice but to do it," said the old lady, taking a sip from her teacup.

I was actually a little thirsty, and I wanted to pick up the teacup and take a few sips of water, but I remembered what the old lady said just now: "The medicine that saves people and kills people, the Tan family is very good at it." I quietly withdrew my hand again.

The old lady seemed to see through my thoughts at once, and reached out and pushed the water cup in front of me, "Drink, for your grandfather's sake, I won't hurt you." ”

I smiled very unnaturally, and I felt like I was sitting here as if I had no clothes, completely seen through by the old lady in front of me. The old lady's eyes gave me an unfathomable feeling, even when I dealt with Aunt Tan before, this feeling was not so strong. I can't imagine what a powerful character this old lady was when she was younger.

Since the old lady said so, I couldn't help it, so I picked up the cup and drank it. Putting down the cup, I then asked, "You just said that my second uncle had to do it?" ”

"Yes," the old lady nodded, "many medicines have a very short period of time, and the more elixirs they are, the more so-called they are. Therefore, some medicines must be taken immediately after decoction, and the longer the delay, the faster the effect of the medicine will be lost. ”

I remembered what my second uncle said to me before he left, he said that the Tan family had been operating here for many years, and one of the biggest gains was that they had obtained a lot of cherished elixirs. So, I said to the old lady: "I heard the second uncle say that the Tan family has treasured a lot of elixirs. ”

"That's true," the old lady continued, "You also know that this was once the Ancient Tea Horse Road, but before that, it was also a trade route between Sichuan and Shu and the Western Regions. A lot of strange medicines from the Western Regions will enter Sichuan from here, but it is difficult for Shu Road to go to the blue sky, at that time, the mountain road is steep, and countless caravans are covered in the mountains, so when the Tan family was exploring here, they got a lot of good things left over from that time. ”

"I see," I nodded, "I don't know what kind of magic medicine my second uncle asked for when he came here back then?" ”

The old lady raised her head and looked at me carefully for a while before she spoke: "The medicine that your second uncle asked for back then was the treasure of the Tan family, and the Tan family caused an uproar for this. In the end, it was the eldest lady who agreed to your second uncle's request. ”

"Oh?" I didn't expect that the second uncle would have such a play for me back then, "I don't know what treasure of the Tan family my second uncle wants?" ”

The old lady took a deep breath before she spoke: "I don't know if you have heard of it, the name of this medicine is called: Uznamu!" ”

"Uznamu??" Of course, I've heard the name of this medicine, not only have I heard it, I've seen it with my own eyes, touched it with my own hands, and I've seen people fight for it. I just didn't expect that I had eaten this rare elixir myself.

I nodded and said, "I know Uznamu, which is said to be a miracle medicine that brings the dead back to life. It's just that I didn't expect that I would have such a great blessing. ”

The old lady smiled, "Your blessings are more than that, there are two main ingredients in the medicine that the Tan family helped you boil back then, one is Uzinamu, and the other is dragon scales." ”

"Dragon's Scale !!" I unconsciously screamed out loud, dragon scales? Dragon scales? I also feel a little familiar with this thing, I must have heard this somewhere. My mind was spinning quickly, and suddenly I thought that it was the second uncle!

The second uncle once told us about his experience of fighting back then, when he was young, he once went to the tomb of a Ming Dynasty admiral, where he got a piece of dragon scales. But I remember he told me at the time that he had given away the dragon scales. Hearing him say this, Lantern Xiao and I were very sorry at the time, but I didn't expect that he gave me the dragon scales.

The old lady continued: "Yes, your second uncle took out the dragon scales that he had treasured for many years. The Tan family used a special technique to divide the dragon scales into two, half of which was placed in the medicine, and the other half was used as the reward for the Tan family's attack this time. ”

It wasn't easy for me to calm down, "So the other half of the dragon scales are now in the hands of the Tan family?" ”

The old lady shook her head, "After many years, I don't know much now. ”

In just ten minutes of conversation, information like a bomb came at me like a cannon, and I almost forgot to breathe. I picked up the glass of water on the table in front of me and drank the tea inside. I took a few deep breaths to clear my chaotic thoughts a little.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, "I really don't know what kind of disease I had back then, and I had to bother to use these two sacred objects." ”

The old lady looked up at me and said, "It is said that your illness is related to the secret of your Zhuo family, so ......" At this point, she suddenly stopped.

I was whetted by her and asked, "So what?" Mother-in-law, go on. ”

The old lady lowered her head, "Forget it, it's nothing." Because I don't know what the secret of your Zhuo family is in the legend. ”

Seeing that the old lady wanted to speak and stopped, although I was curious, it was not good to continue to ask, so I had no choice but to give up. I opened my mouth and said, "Mother-in-law, this is the first time I've heard what you said to me today. I didn't expect that my illness would cause such a big battle. ”

Hearing my words, the old lady suddenly turned her gaze to me, "Actually, this is what I don't understand!" ”

The old lady's eyes revealed a sharpness, which made me stunned, "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that?" ”

"Because," said the old lady, who continued to stare at me, "because after you drink the medicine, it has no effect." At that time, several leaders of the Tan family agreed that you would not live for more than a year. I don't understand, the disease that can't be saved by dragon scales and Uznamu, how did you survive until now? ”
