Chapter 2: Sad Past

Huang Guofan shrugged his nose and said, "I'm only thirty-three years old this year, okay, when will I be promoted to the rank of uncle?" If a child calls me uncle, forget it, it's not good for you to call me uncle as an adult, introduce yourself Huang Guofan, you can call me Brother Huang!"

Zhao Yuxin looked at the traffic light at the intersection and said, "If I am called, it will not be called Brother Huang, I will definitely call you Rhubarb, how does Rhubarb sound like a dog's name, so it is better to call you Uncle, besides, I am only twenty-three years old now, you are ten years older than me, I call you Uncle Sheng, you can also afford it."

Huang Guofan was sweating profusely, after entering the Starbucks, the three of them found a secluded place to sit down, Zhao Yuxin said to Huang Guofan with the menu, "Uncle, what do you want to drink?"

Huang Guofan touched his slippery head and said, "Big niece, I don't have anything to do with coffee, just drink a little bit, this thing is bitter, it's boring." In this way, the waiter, I add more milk and sugar to my coffee, and try not to drink bitterness. ā€

Zhao Yuxin glanced at Huang Guofan and said, "It's okay for me to call you uncle, but you can't call me my eldest niece, we are the first in comparison, God knows, you can call me Xiao Yu, my friends call me that." This is Sister Zhang, she is older than yours, you can also call her Sister Zhang. ā€

After the coffee was served, Huang Guofan took a sip and said, "I didn't want to mention my story to anyone, but today I have to tell it to outsiders." This story is a bit long, so I will tell it slowly from the beginning. ā€

Huang Guofan cleared his throat and said, "This thing goes back to fourteen years ago, when I just entered the university, on the first day of entering the university, I was deeply attracted by my class, the back sitting in front of me, that is, I am still very timid, what I can do every day is to pay attention to her silently, and slowly everyone is familiar with each other, but I have never dared to show my mind in front of her, so I have been silently paying attention to her, thinking about her everywhere. I have always liked her silently in four years of college, although she has not found a boyfriend, but there are many boys who have a good relationship with her, which makes me seem a little inferior, and I dare not confess to her. After graduating from college, I didn't show her face, but just expressed my love to her through WeChat, but she declined. ā€

Huang Guofan said that there was infinite sadness in his eyes here, "Although I graduated from college and I confessed to failure, I have been silently paying attention to her dynamics to see if she is doing well now." We both studied sales, she got a job in her senior year, and she was the sales elite of their company. I could have wanted to start a business, but without projects and funding, these plans were forced to be suspended, and I went to the first-tier city of Guangzhou to find a way out. I have worked in Guangzhou for almost two years, and I have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, the most important thing is that the sales work has made my face thicker and thicker, I know that she has no boyfriend and I have been harassing her, and I have maintained this similar ambiguous relationship with her. ā€

Huang Guofan shook his head and said, "Two years for her to still grow up a social elite, and I am just an ordinary front-line salesperson, there is a gap between me and her, in order to make up for this gap and fulfill my dream of being my own boss, I resolutely returned to my hometown from Guangzhou, a small village at the foot of the Qinling Mountains." At that time, because antibiotics were generally resisted by the society, Chinese medicine developed rapidly, the demand for Chinese medicinal materials also increased, and the price of medicinal materials increased wildly. As the dividing line between the south and the north, the Qinling Mountains have an extremely unique climate and are very rich in medicinal resources. After I returned home, I started to grow medicinal herbs, and I planted dozens of Chinese medicinal herbs. The more scarce the Chinese medicinal herbs are, the more expensive they are, so in order to make a fortune quickly, I began to take risks and go into some primeval forests to pick those precious medicinal herbs. ā€

Zhang Qiufang asked, "But does this have anything to do with the story you want to tell?"

Huang Guofan smiled and said, "Of course it matters, this is the prelude to the story, you wait for me to talk about it slowly." In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, there is a medicinal herb called the golden hairpin, which is known as the immortal god grass, and its price and gold are high, so I want to get some to grow at home, so that my medicinal pu can soon bring me a good economic income. However, the environment in which this medicinal herb grows is extremely harsh, it grows on the top of a cliff, and lives on the essence of wind, frost, rain and dew, and the sun and moon. I came to the cliff of our local area, known as the Gate of Heaven, to find this miraculous medicinal herb. The gate was a granite rock wall with a steep vertical drop of more than 300 meters, so smooth that there were no trees to climb. But when I had spent more than a day climbing from the side of the mountain, I was surprised to find an old man with a white beard and white hair living on it. ā€

Zhao Yuxin said in surprise, "There are actually people on this cliff, and they are such old men, who is this old man?"

Huang Guofan said, "I was also very curious before, because no one had ever been to that place, and I saw that this old man was wearing clothes made of tree bark, after communication, I learned that this old man was actually in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement, because he did not heal the gunshot wound of an important general of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, and was chased and killed all the way north to escape here, seeing that the mountains here are steep, and there are many medicinal herbs, so I chose to settle down here until I appeared on the mountain." ā€

Zhao Yuxin was simply stunned, and it took five seconds before he said, "Uncle can you make a draft before bragging, when I was in junior high school, I knew from the textbook that this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was a matter of the late Qing Dynasty, it seems to be around 1850, at that time he fled that means that he has been on his mountain for at least one hundred and seventy years, and I don't know how old he was when he went up the mountain, which means that his age is likely to be more than two hundred years old! Looking at the world, who can live past two hundred years old!" I'm not asking you to tell stories, not bragging!"

Huang Guofan smiled bitterly and said, "This is really not bragging, I didn't believe it when he said it at the time, but when I saw his medicinal cat, I was relieved, that large piece of medicinal cattail was all planted and said to cherish medicinal materials, he said that he usually took some medicinal materials as a meal, and only lived for such a long time." I chatted with him for a day and a night, when he knew that there was no Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the world and no Qing Dynasty, he danced with excitement, and when he knew that Western medicine was now in charge, he was saddened. In the end, when he knew that I was in the medicinal herb business and recognized hundreds of medicinal materials, he still decided to teach me medical skills and qigong, he said that I was still young, energetic and courageous, and hoped that I could carry forward the traditional medical skills of the Chinese people. ā€

Zhang Qiufang said, "Oh, did you stay in the mountains to study medicine, and then that crush of yours left with another man, and finally you killed that man because you were angry?

Huang Guofan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The storyline is almost the same as what you said, I stayed in the mountains for two whole years, I systematically sorted out my master's medical skills, and basically became a qualified doctor, but the most important thing is that in these two years, I have learned the legendary qigong, which is often seen on TV!"

Zhao Yuxin smiled and said, "It's also qigong, an old man who has lived for almost two hundred years and hasn't died can actually have qigong! yes, then haven't you earned it, not only to have a medical skill but also a legendary qigong!"

Huang Guofan smiled bitterly and said, "This matter, when I say it, no one may believe it, but this is the truth, because at that time, I was twenty-five years old, and the bone veins in my body had been finalized, so my master prepared a medicinal bath for me. However, I persevered, and in two years I made some achievements in qigong. Because the precious medicinal herbs planted by Master were all soaked in a medicinal bath for me, and there were not enough medicinal herbs to nourish me, Master and his old man passed away after two years of service to me at the age of 214. Master, after the old man left, I went down the mountain and returned to the life of a normal person. ā€

Zhao Yuxin and Zhang Qiufang both said with a sigh on their faces: "Two hundred and fourteen years old, bragging, not drafting, I have read the news, there is no one in the world, the world's oldest is a Japanese old lady, now one hundred and thirteen years old." Two hundred and fourteen years old, but a full hundred years older than others. You just blow it, I won't talk about this paragraph, tell me how you ended up in prison!"

Huang Guohao smiled, he already knew that few people believed this statement, "After I went down the mountain, my parents have been urging me to find a daughter-in-law, our family is a big family, my brothers and sisters have all married and had children, my parents were sixty-seven or eight years old at that time, they were already old, and I was already twenty-seven years old, under the pressure of my parents, I began to go out to find my daughter-in-law." That's when I thought about the person I had a crush on. In the middle two years, I didn't contact her in the mountains and didn't know how she was doing now, in order to surprise her, I inquired about her whereabouts through my classmates, and when I unexpectedly appeared beside her, she was very surprised, and at the same time she also said that she had started a new love. I also knew that she and I are now completely two different world men, so I chose to leave, as a friend to invite her to dinner, this is just an ordinary meal, I didn't want her current boyfriend to know, her boyfriend and her are in the same company, but I don't know how to know that I used to like her, he did it to me after he came, and kept abusing her, I was very angry after hearing it, and I fought back. But at this time, I am not the same person I used to be, two years of qigong practice and some martial arts, I punched him angrily, but I didn't think that this punch would kill him. My punch shattered his spleen and liver, and he closed his eyes in less than a minute. Because of this incident, I was sentenced to seven years in prison by the judicial organ in accordance with the law, causing death due to excessive self-defense. I thought I had behaved well in prison and was released early with a reduced sentence, but I was only released from prison two days ago. The 1,000 yuan I had on me was given by the warden of our prison, saying that I had no money when I first came out, and that I had helped him cure a stubborn illness for many years when I was in the service, so I was given 1,000 yuan for me to study and then engage in the Chinese medicine industry. ā€
