Chapter 8: Strange Old Grandfather
It may be that the freshness of the child has passed, Shangguan Fei was on the road to the Medicine King Valley later, looking out through the car window with his hand holding his face, without blinking his eyes, and he had long lost the lively chatter at the beginning, Shangguan Long saw his son's appearance and knew that the child was homesick, so he deliberately said to the child without words: "Fei'er, we are almost to the Medicine King Valley, guess what the Medicine King looks like?"
"I don't know, it should be a white-bearded grandfather!Daddy, have you ever seen the "Medicine King"?" Shangguan Fei, who was in a daze, replied a little listlessly when he heard his father's words. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I haven't seen it either, but it is rumored on the rivers and lakes that although this "medicine king" is not very powerful in martial arts, but his medical skills are very good, do you know the bottle of pills you take every time you burn and ache? That is the apprentice of the medicine king developed, his apprentices are famous in the rivers and lakes, he is even more amazing, he has a chivalrous heart, legend has it that he almost lost his life for the people of a county!" Speaking of this, Shangguan Long deliberately paused, in order to arouse Shangguan Fei's curiosity.
"Really, father, do you know what's going on? Tell me. Sure enough, hearing this, Shangguan Fei's originally listless eyes really turned color, and he took his father's hand and asked.
"I don't know the specific situation very well, but the rumors in the rivers and lakes that the people of that county have a strange disease, when the "medicine king" traveled there, saw that the people there suffered, and were tormented by the disease, the "medicine king" chivalrous heart rose, decided to treat the people here, but suffered from no herbal medicine, had to go up the mountain to pick herbs, but also in order to find a way to treat this disease, he did not hesitate to taste the herbs himself, several times because of the mistake of eating poisonous weeds, almost died. In the end, a pharmacy was developed to treat this disease, saving the people of this side. It can be described as chivalrous righteousness. Shangguan Long also said with great admiration.
"Then this medicine king grandfather is so powerful, he will definitely be able to cure my illness, I hope to see him soon!" Shangguan Fei said a little yearning.
Maybe after listening to his father's words, Shangguan Fei no longer looked out listlessly but began to talk to his father, and time passed in a hurry in the conversation between the two, and three days passed in a blink of an eye. The carriage stopped in front of a big mountain near Zuozhou, and only after asking did he know that the horseman who was driving the car only knew that this Yaowang Valley was in this continuous mountain, and he couldn't tell where it was, and the mountain road in front was very rugged, and the carriage had no way to go over and could only be sent here.
The two got out of the car, paid for the car, and began to walk on foot, at the beginning Shangguan Fei also said to his father that the king of medicine is definitely not an ordinary person, you look at the place where you live, the scenery is beautiful, the mountains are continuous, it is really a fairyland on earth. But because Shangguan Fei was young and had no internal strength, he didn't walk long before he felt out of breath and weak, so he began to complain about the medicine king, what kind of broken place did the bird not to live in, saying that this place is inaccessible and not a place where people live at all. Shangguan Long couldn't laugh or cry when he heard his son's two diametrically opposed evaluations in less than an hour. I had to comfort him and say that it was probably because the king of medicine felt that the world was too noisy, which affected his great career of studying medicine, so he chose such a place to study medicine!
Just when Shangguan Fei shouted that he was dying of thirst and didn't want to go down the mountain, he saw a lake, it was a hot summer, Shangguan Fei was already hot and his mouth was dry, and when he saw a lake, he didn't want to spread his feet, so he ran over and jumped into the river with a pop, swam a few laps in the water, and played a few dog planings only to find that there was an old man sitting on the lake. And this old man was holding a fishing rod, looking at himself with surprise and anger, he was very embarrassed to be looked at by this old man, Shangguan Fei scratched his head and said, "Hello old man." β
Hearing Shangguan Fei speak, the old man felt even more angry, and shouted angrily: "Whose hair doll is so rude, where am I old, and I am still called by the old grandfather." β
At this time, Shangguan Long also came to him, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down with both hands and said: "Hello seniors, in Shangguan Long, this naughty boy is my son Shangguan Fei, in order to treat the child, he accidentally broke into the pure land, disturbing the seniors' Qing Xiu, and I hope that the seniors Haihan will forgive me!"
"He's sick, I don't think he's sick!" The old man pointed at Shangguan Fei and said.
At the same time that the old man pointed at Shangguan Fei, Shangguan Fei also stood in the water and looked at him, and saw that the old man was wearing a gray linen suit, a hat on his head, and straw sandals on his feet, looking about fifty or sixty years old, with a red face and a beard, and the whole person was dressed as a farmer. At this time, he was pointing at himself with an angry face.
"Grandpa, I'm really sick, born with no pulse, this time I went up the mountain to find the "Medicine King" old immortal, and asked him to come to the rescue. Do you know where he lives?" Seeing the old man pointing at him, Shangguan Fei hurriedly replied without waiting for his father to speak.
"I said don't call me grandpa, I don't care if you're sick or not, I don't care who you find to treat you, I just know that you disturbed me fishing just now, and you compensated me for the fish?" After listening to Shangguan Fei's words, the old man said fiercely.
"My son is so thirsty because of the mountaineering, so he saw the water source so stubbornly just now, and it really shouldn't have disturbed the seniors fishing, you see that I will pay you a few taels of silver, just as I bought the fish?" Hearing the old man's words, Shangguan Long hurriedly untied his bag and took out the silver and said.
"Silver, who is scarce silver, I only want fish, you don't compensate me for the fish today, don't want to leave." The old man still said unkindly.
"Okay, then I'll pay you for the fish, okay?" Shangguan Long continued to say with a smile.
"Good. I guess I also felt that I was a little excessive, and the old man's voice was not as high-spirited as he was just now.
"Can you lend us a fishhook, old man?"
"No, you use what I use, don't you have silver, you can buy mine. β
"Okay, I'll buy yours. β
Shangguan Long paid the silver and took the fishing rod to see if there was any bait, and when he mentioned it, he was stupid, not to mention that there was no bait or even a fishing hook, this time it was angry Shangguan Fei, this kid was a little angry when he heard the old man's aggressive words just now, but because he was at a loss to drive the mermaid away, he kept holding back and didn't speak. Then he came to the old man and said, "Why are you like this, look at how you are not young, why do you still do this kind of deception, what kind of fish can a fishing rod without a hook catch, and you are embarrassed to charge us for fishing rod money, I don't know why you are so thick-skinnedγγγγγγ οΌ
"Enough!" Hearing his child talk more and more unbearable, Shangguan Long slapped the child and stopped.
"Daddy, it's obviously him who is wrong, why did you beat me?" Shangguan Fei shouted a little unconvinced.
"This senior is certainly wrong, but how can you, as a junior, not understand how to respect the elder and forget how your mother taught you?" Shangguan Long looked at Shangguan Fei and said.
"Good, good. Sure enough, he is worthy of the "jade-faced scholar" Shangguan Long, who is worthy of the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. At this time, the old man, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
