When settled in one place, time is like a clockwork tightened, moving forward according to inertia, and all of a sudden, there is no trace of yesterday.

Ten years have passed in a hurry.

……

Shangluo, Caozhitang.

"Doctor Fang, are you here?"

"Doctor Fang, good morning!"

"This is the new cloud brocade silk in my shop, Dr. Fang, you take it and make gifts for Mrs. and the two young ladies...... What, I've been feeling sore and weak lately, and my eyes are ......."

……

As Fang Rui came over, the proprietor and shopkeeper of the shop next to him greeted each other, and their attitude was extremely polite, and they could even be called flattering.

"Well, here we are!"

"Shopkeeper Chen, good morning, business is booming!"

"Then I'll take it?! Judge Simon, you are not sick, but you are oversex...... I heard that you married another widow? Is the surname Pan or the surname Li? It's not a big deal, I'll open you a box of 'Dragon Spirit Tiger Fierce Kidney Tonic Pill' for you later......"

……

Fang Rui stroked his mustache lightly, nodded with a smile, and responded one by one.

Ten years ago, he was young, his chin fluff had not yet completely faded, and as a doctor, he was not very trusted; Now, with a beard, people look much more stable, and business has skyrocketed.

Well, that's a joke.

However, at the beginning, the business was cold, which was true, that is, Zhou Changfa brought some friends and deliberately took care of it; Later, there were many incurable diseases treated, and the reputation gradually spread, until he cured a first-class martial artist who was helpless by many doctors, and his fame completely exploded.

Nowadays, because there are too many patients who come here, the threshold of 'Caozhi Hall' has also risen, and Fang Rui basically only accepts patients with high-grade martial artists, and he has to make an appointment in advance.

It's a pity that there is no 'seed way' martial saint above the first grade to come to seek a doctor. He sighed in his heart.

The 'Seed Dao' Martial Saint above the first product, such a character is in Shangluo, although it is rare, there are still two or three of them, but they have never been here.

On the one hand, the 'Seed Dao' Martial Saint, such a character is rarely injured, and on the other hand, people are not very trustworthy.

'Alas, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, let it be! With my current fame, maybe one day someone like this will take the initiative to send it to the door. ’

At present, Fang Rui has sorted out and summarized the new method data obtained from Zhen Daoji, taken its essence to remove its dross, and combined with the diagnosis and control of high-grade martial artists, the research has gradually deepened.

Although it hasn't been completely successful, it doesn't feel like it's far off, and now, what I'm lacking is probably one or two real 'Seed Dao' Martial Saint references. ’

……

In the morning, Fang Rui treated a patient who came through the circumference hair relationship, and he was completely fine.

For other patients, he has his own doctor to diagnose and treat them, and he does not need to bother.

Sent away the patient friend of Zhou Changfa, but Zhou Changfa didn't leave, leaving to drink.

When the wine is hot.

Zhou Changfa said heartily: "Fang Rui, when your family migrated from Huaiyin Mansion, I was still a little vigilant, but now it seems that it is my villain's heart......"

The Fang family straddled the three states of Lu, Lan, and Qi, but came to Shangluo, there was nothing to do all the way, and the family still looked very good, he immediately guessed that Fang Rui was hiding.

- Of course, it is impossible to speculate on the open players, and it is impossible for Zhou Changfa to think that Fang Rui has hidden so much, and the surface is six products, but it is really one product!

"Fang Rui Xiaoyou, I won't hide it from you, when I was in Huaiyin Mansion, I was pitted by the Zheng family, Sun Shoucai, and Zhen Daoji, and I was really scared of the pit, so I was inevitably too vigilant...... The older I get, the less timid I become, and I just want to have fun in Shangluo after Zhishi, and I'm worried that if you bring too much trouble, you will implicate me. ”

"That's why I introduced the courtyard next to the old man......"

This is the meaning of letting Yuan Haogu judge.

Otherwise, with the status of Zhou Changfa, even though the housing resources in Upper Los Angeles are tight, as long as you are willing to contribute, it is not too difficult to find another yard in a hurry.

"In addition, I also observed Fang Rui Xiaoyou for a few years after that, and then I was relieved...... It's me who is wrong, and I punish the wine to make amends. "Circumference raised a glass.

"Where? It's just human nature. ”

Fang Rui didn't mind.

The heart of defense is indispensable, and the other party is just cautious, what is the crime?

In addition, he is actually aware of this, but he doesn't care about it.

After all, when Fang Rui came to Upper Los Angeles City, he really didn't want to make trouble.

In the past ten years, he has always been honest and responsible, even if he purchases big drugs and old drugs externally, he only supplies energy according to the normal amount of five or six products, and has his own Chaos Dragon Ball Origin.

It can be described as: there is no abnormality.

"Fang Rui, why did you come to Shangluo in the first place?" Zhou Changfa is really only curious when he asks this question now.

"Because, there is an old man like Brother Zhou in Shangluo, who may be able to take care of him, and in addition, he doesn't eat people directly here."

Yes, in Shangluo City, there is no such bad thing as arresting people and refining medicine!

After all, it is the second best place after Shenjing, how can you put cannibalism on the bright side? Of course, all the resources of the 'magic medicine' and the 'elixir' were cultivated elsewhere and then offered.

Just like the sky, the sky is full of green mountains and green waters, and it is necessary to ......

Both of these things are true. As for dodging possible divination, deducing the new method above the martial arts, and looking at Dayu from a higher dimension...... That's not trivial. Fang Rui thought secretly.

"I see."

The circumference of the hair was bowed, apparently believing it.

He had completely let down his guard against Fang Rui a long time ago, and now, the two of them can be regarded as year-old friends, compared to Fang Rui and Ge Changgeng at the beginning, it is almost the same.

Bang!

Under the swaying tree, in the dappled light and shadow, the two clinked glasses, and this pot of good wine buried ten years ago has now become more and more mellow.

……

In the middle of the afternoon, the wine was dismissed, and Zhou Changfa left.

"Brother Fang! Brother Fang! ”

Yu Song is here.

This caravan master, in the past ten years, has been very close to the Fang family, and has supplied high-quality medicinal materials from the 'Caozhitang' at a price slightly higher than the cost.

Every time the merchant comes back, or during the New Year's holiday, he will visit the Fang family and bring some strange things, and he is very familiar with the Fang family.

This kind of operation is not a picture of anything, it is probably just that: usually cramming, thinking about what urgent things to do, so that you can open your mouth and so on.

Of course, he hasn't really asked Fang Rui for anything so far.

At the beginning, Fang Rui still wanted to keep his distance, but Yu Song could also pull his face, and he came too many times, and he slowly did not reject it.

Isn't the relationship between people just dealt with? At least what Yu Song did not make Fang Rui feel repulsed, and it was far better than the 'many half-baked so-called relatives' in his previous life.

"Proprietor Yu, are you here to supply medicinal herbs? To be honest, the quality of your herbs here is good, and the price is low, I'm embarrassed. ”

"Hey, hey!"

Yu Song beckoned the people below to load the goods, and without Fang Rui's bother, he took care of everything directly: "I don't lose either, Brother Fang, we have been friends for ten years, say these kind words?" ”

"By the way, I've gotten some interesting things back this time on my trip, you can take them and amuse the two young ladies."

At the invitation of Fang Rui, Yu Song sat down to drink tea, picked up what Fang Rui was interested in, and said some of the latest news and interesting things that the businessmen had heard.

When it was almost over, he was not embarrassed to chat, took the initiative to get up, proposed to leave, and grasped the proportions just right.

It's like spring breeze and rain to get along, and it's very comfortable.

After Yu Song left.

Fang Rui recalled getting along over the years, and couldn't help but secretly sigh that Yu Song would be a man.

"There are all kinds of worlds, cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, and everyone has their own way of living."

"This Yu Song, ten years like a day, running a relationship, ordinary people are far from it, he is a character!"

……

In the evening, Fang Rui stepped on the sunset, left from the 'Caozhitang', went to the Qiguo store, and bought half a catty of 'Amethyst Li' and returned.

He has practiced medicine for so many years, and naturally accumulated a lot of contacts, his status has risen, and he has the qualifications to enter this strange fruit shop to buy things.

"The patriarch?! The patriarch?! Fang Rui didn't go back directly, and came to the courtyard next to him.

For this Yuan Haogu, he was called 'Mr. Yuan' at first, but later found that this bad old man's temper was really stinky and hard, and the relationship was also close, so he called 'Mr. Yuan' the same as Zhou Changfa.

The old man didn't care about that.

"It's Fang boy?!"

At this time, Yuan Haogu was lying on the rattan chair, half-squinting, wiping his 'Tianxin Seal', and carefully put it down when he heard the voice.

The 'Heavenly Heart Seal' is a secret treasure of luck, after Fang Rui and Yuan Haogu got close, they also borrowed it to play with it, but they didn't see anything why.

However, according to what Yuan Haogu said: After entering the Zixiao Pavilion in the center of Shenjing, the 'Taichu Gold List' will be named, and the 'Tianxin Seal' can borrow luck to automatically defend, and even counterattack and counterattack, and be invincible under the top three grades.

In addition, it seems to have a special state similar to the 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration', and even the existence above the first grade can be taken away - this is also the reason why there are countless powerful people in Shangluo City, but he is allowed to eradicate the injustice and dare not provoke.

"Boy Fang, did you buy me something again? Is this time still a strange fruit? Say okay first, you can bribe me again, if you do something hurtful, I will still knock you. ”

Yuan Haogu paused, and added vigilantly: "Also, don't think about tricking me, it's useless." ”

Fang Rui laughed dumbly.

This bad old man's stinky temper is something he can bear.

"You have to get it, old man, I have suffered such a big loss from you, this is the strange fruit 'Amethyst Li', take it and chew two to nourish your body!"

He knew that Yuan Haogu was extremely poor, not because he had no money, but because he had all the money he had given to the poor people who were oppressed, and he even wore clothes like cloth.

Except for that room of books, there is really nothing to grow.

Oh, even this courtyard is allocated by the imperial court, and it is not a private property of Yuan Haogu, otherwise this bad old man can be sold.

'I heard that the patriarch originally had a wife and children, but because of a big case, he was retaliated against and lost his ......

Fang Rui thought secretly and shook his head slightly.

He can't become such a person, but he doesn't hinder and admire such a person.

Let's go! Let's go!

Yuan Haogu chewed 'Amethyst Li' and let Fang Rui apply needles on him to treat some pains.

"Old man, the aura is poisonous, what do you mean by this? What impact does this have on spirituality? Fang Rui asked as he applied the needle.

This is when he feels that he is almost in proportion, and asks again.

"Spirituality!"

Yuan Haogu muttered: "In other words, the talent of the old spirit master is still extremely high, and it is a green qualification that is one in a million. ”

Fang Rui was speechless.

The green 'ordinary qualification' is indeed one in a million, but it has just crossed the threshold of spiritual master cultivation, is it something to be proud of? That's what my family is!

Besides, who asked you about your spiritual qualifications?

Fang Rui paused, waiting for Yuan Haogu to continue, explaining that 'aura is poisonous', but this bad old man shut up and didn't say anything, just chewed 'Amethyst Lily' one by one.

'I knew it, bad old man with a bad character! ’

Seeing that Yuan Haogu didn't say anything, Fang Rui took the initiative to mention it again: "Old man, the aura is poisonous, what do you mean by this?" ”

It's not that he is uninteresting and doesn't understand the 'euphemistic refusal to avoid answering', but this bad old man can't be guessed by common sense, and many times, he just likes to deliberately play tricks on people.

Yuan Haogu glanced at Fang Rui, chewed another 'Amethyst Li', and clapped his hands: "Didn't I tell you, can't you say it!" ”

"Co-authored, this 'Amethyst Lily' is really eaten for nothing?" Fang Rui couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This bad old man is really angry.

This time, Yuan Haogu may also feel embarrassed, and finally showed a little tone: "It's not that I don't say it, it's that I said it, and I have to explain it here in detail today." ”

'So serious?! It seems that this is not a matter of mentioning at all, but saying that there is a heavy price to pay, no wonder the old man is secretive. ’

Fang Rui secretly thought and joked: "Are you still afraid of death?" ”

"I'm not afraid, it's just ......"

Yuan Haogu was silent for a long time, and just when Fang Rui thought that he would not continue to speak, he suddenly spoke again: "The old man has already lived enough, looking at life and death, if he goes down one step earlier, he is just accompanying his wife and children." It's just that there are still so many injustices in this world, how can the old man be willing to close his eyes? ”

"Fang boy, it's not worth dying to give you an answer you want; To die for the punishment of adultery and to eliminate evil, it is worth it! ”

Hearing this, Fang Rui was silent.

He believed this, but because he believed, he was silent.

"Haha, boy Fang, was you scared? It's not time to die yet, it's really that time......"

Yuan Haogu shook his head and didn't continue: "As for what you want to ask...... Don't ask, life is in the world, it's rare to be confused, and the less you know, the happier you are. The happiest time in my life is when I am studying, and I want to ...... at the beginning."

As he spoke, his voice grew lower, and he fell asleep.

"Alas!"

Fang Rui looked at Yuan Hao's old face and sighed lightly.

Ten years ago, this old man was full of energy, walking around the streets on crutches every day, taking care of injustices, and he could really jump up and knock people......

But now, my energy is not enough, and the frequency of going out has been greatly reduced.

'Time is like a knife! ’

He shook his head, covered Yuan Haogu with a blanket, and got up to go out.

……

Go home.

It was the three ladies who greeted her.

Now, she is also thirty-nine, even though Fang Rui is there and well maintained, she still sees tiny wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"Ling'er, what about Nannan?" Fang Rui asked as he washed his hands.

"Nan Nan has been practicing at home all day, and she is about to fall into the devil, I asked Ling'er and Qingyan to call her to go outside the city, but until now, she hasn't come back!"

"That's right,"

The third lady said one thing: "Auntie has not been in a good state recently, and she always talks about what happened in Changshan County before, and I accompany her to enlighten, which doesn't seem to be of much use......"

"I'll go see my mother!"

Fang Rui went to the backyard, and when he saw Fang Xue's family, he found her sitting on the threshold alone, looking at the sunset, in a daze.

Now, she is also in her fifties, she has seen some gray hair on her head, her spirit is not as good as before, and she rarely moves every day except for cooking a meal for Fang Rui for decades.

For some reason, when Fang Rui saw this scene, his nose was sour inexplicably, and he didn't care about what he was doing or not, so he went over and sat down beside Fang Xue's family.

"Brother Rui, are you back?!"

In front of Fang Rui, Sanniangzi and a few other people, Fang Xue's family talked more, chattering, talking about the recent family events, talking about Changshan County, talking about Fang Baicao, and talking about Fang Rui's childhood......

Probably, when people are older, they really like to remember the past!

……

After a long time, Fang Xue went to cook.

Fang Rui came out of the backyard.

At that time.

In the sky above Shangluo City, the sun is setting, the glow is like blood, and the 'Chaos Four Elephant Flags' manipulates the light curtain to reflect the water of the Luo River in the sky.

It is like a river of remnant sun, flowing down from the sky.

Fang Rui looked at this scene, stood for a long time, and the shadows of Yuan Haogu, Sanniangzi, and Fang Xue's family flashed in front of him one by one, inexplicably, an unspeakable melancholy arose in his heart.

He couldn't help but close his eyes and whispered: "You don't see, the water of the Luo River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns; You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk! ”

Its voice was like a cry, echoing in the twilight wind, and it lasted for a long time.
