The capital, the Ma family's mansion.

Today, the atmosphere of the whole house has become tense and dignified.

Because Old Man Ma's condition has worsened again.

White-haired and white-bearded, the old doctor Zhao Lao, who was quite ancient, walked out of the hall from Old Man Ma's room, and followed closely by the three brothers Ma Huanming.

"Old Zhao, my old man ......"

Despite his monstrous power and the authority of an important department, Ma Huanming, who has always been calm, is difficult to keep calm this time.

Old Zhao's face was solemn, and he said: "Old Man Ma's condition has worsened, I'm afraid, I can't support it for three days." Alas~"

The three brothers of the Ma family all felt like they had been punched hard, and their chests were stuffy for a while.

This news is not unexpected, all of them have been mentally prepared for a long time. But when the day really came, they found that they still couldn't accept it.

"Is there really no way? We have also found some of the precious medicinal materials you collected last time. Because the time is too tight, I can't find the one that matches the year at once. But a little bit later, we still collected a few. You see......"

Ma Huanquan is responsible for following Zhao Lao's medicine list and contacting and arranging everywhere to collect precious medicinal materials. But these things are just too rare to find. Old Man Ma's condition suddenly deteriorated, leaving them little time to operate at all.

For example, if you can't find a 300-year-old ginseng, you can find a few ginseng in a 100-year-old year. Other Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflori, etc. are similar.

It's not easy.

You must know that a 50-year-old wild ginseng is worth about 500,000 yuan. And a wild ginseng that is 100 years old can increase its price tenfold, and it depends on luck, and money may not be able to buy it. As for the 300-year-old wild ginseng, such a treasure is priceless and marketless, it is a rare treasure, and some people in their hands are regarded as heirloom treasures, and they don't even let outsiders see it, and they won't easily leak the news.

Therefore, the three brothers of the Ma family have huge energy and connections in both the political and business worlds, but they can't even find a qualified medicinal material in a short period of time.

When Zhao Lao heard what Ma Huanquan said, he shook his head helplessly.

"No, the prescription I have in my hands has also been handed down from my master. Okay or not, I don't have a bottom in my heart. It's just that with my experience in medicine, I think there may be a glimmer of possibility. If the color of the herbs does not meet the requirements, then I am not sure at all. Originally, I contacted some old friends, and I had already inquired about the whereabouts of one of them, He Shou Wu, which was more than 500 years old, and was about to discuss with the other party. But even if you can really get your hands on it, if the other medicinal materials are not in place, it will be useless. ”

When Ma Huanming and the other three brothers heard this, their faces were gloomy and their hearts were lost.

Zhao Lao has practiced medicine all his life, and there are countless living people, and he may know more capable people than the famous Ma family. He was able to inquire about the whereabouts of a five-hundred-year-old He Shou Wu, and he was also well informed.

However, there are many such precious medicinal materials on the list of medicinal materials, and just one He Shou Wu is not a top matter at all.

Even if it is this He Shou Wu, knowing that he knows it, whether he can get it is still a question.

Ma Huanming's face turned pale, and he asked astringently: "Is there really no way?" Old Zhao, you are Taishan Beidou in the medical world, and you are a living immortal-like existence, there must be a way, right?"

At this moment, Ma Huanming, who has always been majestic and steady, also lost his usual calmness and reason.

"Alas~" Zhao Lao waved his hand and shook his head slightly.

"I've tried everything I can think of. Mr. Ma is my best friend, and I hope he recovers. But my abilities are limited, and I am ashamed of the trust of my old friends and you!"

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Ma knew each other when they were young, and they had a friendship spanning half a century. Seeing that his friend was about to die, but he couldn't do anything about it, Zhao Lao's mood was not much better than the three brothers of the Ma family.

"I've done my best, you can think of other ways to see if you can save Old Man Ma's life. I'm sorry!"

With loss and helplessness, Zhao Lao slowly walked out of the hall and walked outside.

Ma Huanming took two steps to catch up: "Old Zhao, in the domestic medical community, where can there be someone who is more clever than you." ”

Zhao Lao didn't stop: "My peers lifted me up and gave face, which pushed me to my current position." But there is a saying that the master is in the people, and between the reckless, there may not be no one with more medical skills than me. And there are many capable people in this world, and it is possible to save Old Man Ma. It's just that I'm afraid it's hard to meet such a person. ”

Zhao Lao is comforting the Ma family brothers, but he is also helpless and humble.

He has really seen some "capable people" whose abilities exceed ordinary people's imagination, but not in terms of curing diseases and saving people. And such a character is either hidden in the mountains and old forests, with nowhere to be found. Either it is hidden in the city, even if it passes by you, you are ignorant.

"The master is in the folk!"

The speaker has no intention, but smells intentional.

When Ma Huanming heard Zhao Lao's words, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his heart, making him stunned.

Even Zhao Lao walked away and left from the gate of the Ma family's mansion, but he didn't react.

"Big brother, big brother?"

Ma Huanquan hurriedly took a few steps forward and gently shook his eldest brother's shoulder.

Old Man Ma is about to fall, and the eldest brother is the next pillar of the Ma family. If something happens to him again, the Ma family will quickly slide and never return to its previous glory.

Ma Huanming was shaken awake by the second brother, but he didn't pay attention to Ma Huanquan, but turned his head and shouted at the third brother Ma Huanqiang.

"Third brother, what did you say a few days ago, what is the name of the doctor introduced by that business friend?"

"Huh, the doctor?" Ma Huanqiang didn't react for a while.

"It was the doctor in a tertiary city hospital in Quang Nam Province who said that his medical skills were very good, and he was the doctor who rescued a patient with burns and a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. ”

Ma Huanqiang remembered it now.

"The First People's Hospital of Maoqin City, Quang Nam Province, is a traditional Chinese medicine physician named Yang Yonghui. ”

Ma Huanquan next to him also reacted: "Big brother, are you going to find him to show the old man?"

"Yes. Ma Huanming seemed to have made a major decision, "Elder Zhao has already given up, and it is impossible for us to collect the list of medicinal materials he wants in such a short period of time." And the famous doctors in the capital and even in the whole country, we have already searched for them, but there is no effect. No matter what, this Dr. Yang is a hope. ”

It can be seen from the hesitation of the eldest brother that he does not have much hope for that Dr. Yang.

But now, they have searched for all the people they can find, and all the methods they can use have been exhausted, and they have all failed.

It can be said that the formal way has come to an end, and if there are no new changes, Mr. Ma's future can start to prepare now.

Regardless of whether Dr. Yang succeeds or not, that is, the last attempt, the dead horse has the right to be a live horse doctor.

Well, their family also happens to be surnamed Ma......
