Chapter 206: Chen Rejuvenation
The next day, Qiushui and Lin Lin set off again and rushed to Riverside Town to invite the old man with the title of Living Immortal. www.biquge.info The hope of the whole city is now pinned on them, and if it fails, thousands of people may die as a result. Of course, it does not mean that as long as this person goes out of the mountain, there must be a way to cure strange diseases, but hope is in front of him, and he always has to work hard to fight for it.
As Chen Min said, Riverside Town is not too far from Yucheng, and it only took half a day for the two to arrive in the town. According to the previous information, the old man lived alone in an ordinary house in the west, living a simple life. It's just that the location information is too vague, and Qiushui has never been to this place, so I can't touch the north for a while. Fortunately, the fame of this miracle doctor is really not small in the town, and with the guidance of passers-by, the two finally found the old man's residence before the moon rose.
"That's too broken, isn't it? Qiushui sighed. In front of the two of them, there was an old wooden house that was decades old, with several large holes in the roof, barely covered with a few pieces of white cloth to prevent rainwater from pouring into it, and the walls of the house had long been moth-eaten to the point that it would creak and rattle when the wind blew, as if it might collapse at any time. A generation of miracle doctors lived in such a place, and it was no wonder that Qiushui was so surprised.
"Well, maybe people just like to live in shabby houses. Lin Lin stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door. But after a long time, there was no answer.
"Strange, is the old man out?" Lin Lin tried to shout a few more times, but there was still no change. Qiushui on the side seemed to have expected this result, only to see him swaggering to the door, and then waved his hand to Lin Lin, signaling her to step aside.
"Hey, old man, come out quickly, or don't blame your Grandpa Qiu for kicking the door. Qiushui shouted in a thick voice. Lin Lin just wanted to stop it, but suddenly heard a noise inside, as if someone had knocked something down.
"Don't pretend to be dead inside, I heard it, give you three seconds, and if you don't come out, I'll go in." Qiushui knocked the door and said in a threatening tone.
"Three, two, one......" Qiushui counted loudly, and found that there was still no movement in the house, so he decided not to waste any more time, and kicked directly on the wooden door. With a bang, the wooden door slowly fell inward, raising a cloud of smoke and dust, and before Qiushui could come to his senses, a broom suddenly poked out of the smoke and dust, and hit him straight towards his faΓ§ade.
Qiushui's reaction was so fast, I saw him dodge it sideways, and then grabbed the broom and pulled it out, and suddenly an old man was dragged out and fell heavily to the ground.
"Old man, are you okay!" Lin Lin saw it, hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and then looked at Qiushui with complaining eyes. Qiushui shrugged his shoulders and said with an innocent expression, "He attacked me first." β
"Stinky boy, you didn't slam my door first!" the old man stood up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and then pointed at Qiushui and began to curse. I saw that the old man was barefoot, wearing a shabby cloth coat, and the beard and hair on his head were gray, but his face was quite ruddy, making it impossible to guess his real age.
Seeing that Qiushui still wanted to argue, Lin Lin hurriedly glared at him, and then said to the old man with a smile: "This grandfather, may I ask if you are the famous divine doctor, Chen Huichun?"
When the old man heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "You recognize the wrong person, you recognize the wrong person." After speaking, he walked towards the house, but Qiushui stopped directly in front of him, looked him up and down carefully with his two eyes, and then the corners of his mouth curved: "Old man, you are Chen Huichun, and you still want to deceive people?" to tell you, I inquired about your appearance before I came." β
"What's the matter? Stinky boy, get out of the way. The old man blew his beard, and saw that he was going to get the broom on the ground again. Lin Lin hurriedly stepped forward, pushed Qiushui aside, and then said to the old man with a smile: "Divine doctor, don't get me wrong, we are not bad people, but here to save your life." A few days ago, there was a sudden outbreak of a terrible disease in Rain City, dozens of people have died as a result, and hundreds more lives are in danger, we hope that you can go out of the mountain and help see if there is any cure. β
Unexpectedly, the old man snorted, showing that he didn't care about himself, and waved his hand to Lin Lin and said, "The old man has retired from the medical world for many years, so let's find someone else to do this matter." After speaking, he pushed Lin Lin away rudely and walked towards the house with his head held high. It's just that he didn't pay attention to the wooden door under his feet, and he tripped over it all of a sudden, and fell hard to eat.
Qiushui saw it and laughed on the side. And the old man got up from the ground, turned around, and looked at Qiushui angrily. Because the noise here was too loud, the surrounding people gradually gathered around, pointing at Qiushui and Lin Lin, as if they were bullies who bullied the weak.
"Qiushui, let's go first. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Lin Lin hurriedly left this place with Qiushui, and walked for a few miles before stopping, and found a stall on the side of the street to fill his stomach first.
"That stinky old man, he has no medical ethics at all, I think, he is a coward who has no ability at all, and he deliberately refuses to go out of the mountain for fear of being exposed. Qiushui ate five bowls of large wontons in one go, and then said indignantly while burping there.
"It's not that you're too reckless, you kicked someone's door as soon as you came up, and if it were me, I wouldn't have agreed. Lin Lin complained. Qiushui pursed his lips, but he didn't argue, but just said stupidly: "Then what now, do you want to come to apologize to him?"
Lin Lin shook his head: "Now he must still be angry, and it will be in vain to go, it is better to stay here for one night first, and then find a way tomorrow." β
At this time, Qiushui suddenly found that there was an old man sitting in the stall in front of him, and his back seemed to be a little familiar. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and slowly walked behind the man, although Lin Lin on the side was a little puzzled, he still followed. The old man happened to finish eating the ravioli, stood up and was about to pay the bill, but after a while, he turned his head and confronted the two.
"Uncle?"
"Squeak!"
This old man was the botanist that Qiushui and others met in the Longya Gobi, and he went deep into the Gobi hinterland with them to find the whereabouts of the dragon's beard grass. I didn't expect to meet here again after half a year, which was really surprising.
"Uncle, I didn't expect you to live here. Qiushui ordered another pot of wine and drank it with the old man. Lin Lin was having a lively time with Squeak on the side, bursting into bursts of cheerful laughter from time to time.
The old man swallowed a sip of wine and looked very happy: "Yes, it's really fate." But Shaoxia, I remember that you and your partner were going to Rain City at the time, why did you come here again?"
Qiushui hesitated, but still told the old man the purpose of their coming here. When the old man heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh: "Say it earlier, I have known that Chen Huichun for decades, and I am a good brother who worships the son, I will go to help you talk about it tomorrow, I believe he will have to give me some face." β
"Ah, thank you so much!" Qiushui hurriedly said happily when he heard this.
