In the evening, in an old bungalow area at the foot of the mountain, stepping on the stone road, many people returning home from work are in a hurry, or rushing back to cook with the vegetables they have bought, or pulling the children who have just been picked up from kindergarten to walk home.

The life that belongs to the people themselves often starts from the evening after work, cleaning up the fatigue of the day, and running a family of three in their own one-acre and three-point land.

Most of the old neighbors who have lived in this bungalow area for many years know each other well. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, when cooking at night, the garlic cloves of the east family are not enough, from the west family, the braised fresh fish of the Wang family is cooked, and a child is sent to the Zhang family to taste, the atmosphere between the neighbors is harmonious, and occasionally encounters a troublesome thing, and several families help to solve the crisis.

In recent years, the city has developed greatly, and those who have a little money have bought big houses on the high-rise in the center of the city, and moved out of this old bungalow area.

Compared with the new residential areas in the center of the city, the ordinary people living here may still be in poor economic conditions, but the relationship and affection between people are much closer than those of the wealthy people who live in high-rise mansions.

Nowadays, private cars are everywhere in the city, causing traffic congestion while competing with each other for their brand and performance. I don't know who said it: part of the tiredness of living comes from livelihood, and part of it comes from comparison. To say that the tendency of the people in the city to become inflammatory, and the rampant materialistic desires, all come from this material comparison like a dream bubble.

In this quaint bungalow area, every household can't afford to buy a car, and every morning, countless electric bicycles and bicycles quietly set off under the cover of the faint morning light to start a new day's work.

Because this bungalow area is located on the edge of the city, there are often traffic jams on the way from the city center to here, and there are no regular parking lots and commercial areas nearby, and there are news from time to time that a certain car has been stolen due to parking here, so it is rare to see a car staying here after evening on weekdays.

At half past seven o'clock in the evening of this day, when the sound of frying and frying of vegetables and vegetables was thriving and busy, an Audi car drove in from the far crossing, and with a dozen headlights, it illuminated a black wild cat wandering alone in the old bungalow area and alley.

After the car stopped, the black door opened, and a slender white calf stretched out from the A8, which was worth more than a million, and a delicate women's high-heeled shoe was kicked on the foot. After waiting for someone to get out of the car, her high-end dress, which was out of place in this bungalow area, was particularly conspicuous.

This is a middle-aged woman who is actually in her forties, but because she is good at beauty and maintenance, coupled with exquisite dressing and hairstyle, she looks only over thirty, and her body is well controlled, still slim and curvy. It's just that, from her originally beautiful big eyes, what she saw was unconcealable sadness and anxiety, and her brows furrowed, I don't know if it was because of the mess in this bungalow area, or because of the puddle of mud that she had just stepped on under her feet, or because of something else.

The intricate lanes and labyrinths of laneways in the bungalow area make it impossible for outsiders to determine the direction and location, but the intricacies of the laneways are not difficult for the indigenous people.

After walking a few corners along the muddy and garbage-filled alleyways along the way, this delicate woman in her forties could not find her direction, and in desperation, she had to knock on the big iron door of a large iron house from which the sound of cooking was coming from.

"Sister Zhang, the soy sauce you asked me to buy has been bought. Before the door opened, the hostess's voice had already come, and it seemed that the master had subconsciously taken the future as a next-door neighbor.

As soon as the door opened, it was a strange woman, well-dressed and well-dressed, and at first glance it was not a person who lived in this area, and the hostess was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm trying to come here to find a gentleman surnamed Qian, he has a nickname called 'Qian Tongtian', I don't know if you know, eldest sister?" said the delicately dressed woman.

The hostess suddenly understood, "oh" nodded and said, "It turns out that he is looking for old money, he is here, you see, he walked forward from here, and when he came to the end, he turned left ......." ”

Because the alleyway was too complicated, the hostess felt that she was a little messy after speaking, so she turned back to the shopkeeper of the house and passed it from afar, and then did not untie the apron that was tied, and personally walked out of the door to lead the way enthusiastically.

After going around and around, he took the woman to an old courtyard door in the deepest part of the bungalow area, patted the faded old wooden door, and shouted into the courtyard: "Old Qian, someone is looking for you!"

"Just come. After a pause, a male voice came from the courtyard.

The road has been brought, and the people are there, and the hostess smiled at the strange woman and said, "He happens to be there, you wait, I'll go first." After saying that, he turned around and hurried back to stir-fry.

With a "squeak", an old small wooden door opened, and a man of nearly sixty years old stood inside, with sparse and fluffy hair, wearing a pair of old black plastic square-framed glasses, wearing an old-fashioned Mao suit, holding a pipe in his hand, and a "stinky old nine" posture during the special period.

Seeing the comer, the man asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Excuse me, are you looking for it?"

"Oh, may I ask you Mr. Qian, Mr. Qian Tongtian?" the woman asked.

"Yes, I am. What's the matter with you?" asked Qian Tongtian.

"Mr. Qian, that's the case, my child had something happened two days ago, and after inquiring, I would like to ask you to help. The woman said.

"Oh, that's right, then you come in first, come in and talk. After Qian Tongtian let the woman into the courtyard, he slowly closed the old wooden door with red paint.

In the small courtyard, there were already four or five people sitting in the folding chairs in the courtyard, silent to each other, as if they had been here for a long time. Qian Tongtian gave the woman a seat, saying that she was busy, and there were several other things, and if the woman couldn't wait, she could come tomorrow.

The woman shook her head and said she was willing to wait, so Qian Tongtian made the woman another cup of tea and went into the house. The door was closed, and there were other people in the room, and I didn't know what was going on there.

After waiting for a long time, as if registering to see a doctor, one was sent out and another went in. In this way, the woman waited straight for two hours, and when her buttocks were a little numb, after sending another person away, Qian Tongtian beckoned to her, and it was finally her turn.

She is not the last one, I don't know what day I rushed today, but two more people came looking for money, and they also sat patiently and waited quietly.

Some of these people who came were well-dressed, and some looked simple and casual, some were young men in their twenties, and some were old men in their sixties and seventies, and they did not speak to each other, as if they had a heavy heart, and they shook their heads and frowned from time to time, as if they had encountered some trouble.

Although they also live in this bungalow area, they are in harmony with a group of neighbors, and often send some fish, chickens and other food to the surrounding neighbors, but in the entire bungalow area, it has a special status.

In the past, the people living in this bungalow area, if anyone was sick or confused, they would go to find Qian Tongtian. Qian Tongtian is proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and can easily cure many incurable diseases, and part of his reputation is because he has helped others cure stubborn diseases.

Two terminally ill cancer patients once came to Qian Tongtian with the attitude of giving it a try, and as a result, after taking his secret recipe and acupuncture therapy every day, they also came back to life and regained their livelihood. Therefore, this originally inconspicuous bungalow area has become somewhat famous because of Qian Tongtian, and from time to time there are people who come here to find Qian Tongtian.

According to the rules of Qian Tongtian, he only sees the disease and practices medicine during the day, and practices acupuncture and moxibustion, and the fees charged by the hospital are in addition to the money for medicinal materials charged at the parity price, and the rest of the outpatient fees can be given by the guests at will, and Qian Tongtian only sees a doctor between half past two and half past five in the afternoon during the day, and once the time has passed, he will close the door to thank the guests. As for the nights of the first and fifteenth days of the lunar calendar, there are other businesses in the house of Qian Tongtian.

Due to the abundance of modern big hospitals today, ordinary people will go to the big hospitals to see what they have any diseases, therefore, the people who come to Qian Tongtian to see a doctor are not ordinary patients, and often some people who can't see their fame in big hospitals, and only come to find Qian Tongtian after inquiring about it through various channels.

Some diseases, Qian Tongtian saw it, and thought that he was powerless to return to heaven or could not do anything, so he didn't take a penny and sent off the guests silently. For Qian Tongtian's next illness, as long as the patient eats reasonably according to his requirements, takes medicine on time, and then guides through regular acupuncture, he can get rid of the disease, so over time, his fame will spread among the people.

Regarding the origin of this Qian Tongtian's background, the surrounding neighbors do not know. In this bungalow area for more than ten years, Qian Tongtian has always been a single widow, but he is very enthusiastic to help others, heard that the owner is sick, he took the initiative to help people see the disease, the west family needs to have any difficulty, will also run over to ask for warmth, try to help. In short, in this area, Qian Tongtian is a good person, not to mention his popularity, and he is very respected.

Of course, another part of his doorway belongs to the category of mysterious mysteries, which is only passed on by word of mouth through some people who have asked him for help, but it has also established a very high reputation. Slowly, the neighbors in this bungalow area also knew that it turned out that this Qian Tongtian also understood Zhou Yi and Yin and Yang, not only could he read Feng Shui Yin Mansion and divination, but also help people exorcise evil spirits.

Those who know Chinese medicine also know some Zhou Yi, Yin and Yang Taoist kung fu, which is also in line with the theory of ten doctors and nine ways in traditional Chinese medicine, such as Bian Que, Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo and other ancient famous doctors, in addition to medical skills, they also study various Taoist techniques.

In recent years, with the development of the reform and opening up economy, people's thoughts have become more free, and they are no longer resistant to feng shui yin and yang, exorcism and evil spirits, and people like Qian Tongtian, who were originally called "magic sticks", quietly went out of the mountain again.

This middle-aged woman who took an Audi car to visit Qian Tongtian came precisely for her evil son. On the one hand, it is that she can't find out any specific name when she goes to the hospital, and it is unconvincing to abuse sedatives and other drugs and barely diagnose him with schizophrenia; second, her originally lovely son began to say some strange things, as if the whole person was like another person, crying and laughing and laughing extremely scary, and the things he said had nothing to do with his original life; third, after seeing it, the experienced elders and an old Chinese medicine doctor said that her son might have been evil.

In desperation, the woman inquired around and finally found Qian Tongtian. The woman's man is a high-ranking official of the government, and it is inconvenient to show up, and this kind of thing is not good to trouble others, so the woman has to come to this dirty and smelly bungalow area in person, and is willing to wait for a few hours to ask Qian Tongtian, who is called her precious son.
