Take a closer look.
This old man had a kind face and a very good complexion. At first glance, he gave people a very leisurely feeling.
"Senior Zhuge."
Xu Miaolin led Fang Qiu into the siheyuan, smiled and bowed to the old man sitting in the courtyard, and said, "I brought my student to see you."
"You flatter me."
Zhuge Yan, who was enjoying a tune with his eyes closed, heard Xu Miaolin's voice, opened his eyes, turned off the radio on the tea table next to him, and then said to Xu Miaolin with a smile, "You are also a holy doctor. We are peers."
As he said.
Zhuge Yan turned to look at Fang Qiu and said, "This is your student, Fang Qiu?"
"Student Fang Qiu pays respect to Holy Doctor Zhuge."
Fang Qiu immediately bowed to Zhuge Yan with his hands folded.
"Good."
Zhuge Yan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Young man, full of spirit, neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and teaching."
"Holy Doctor Zhuge."
Xu Miaolin thought about it and really didn't know how to make friends, so he could only call him holy doctor and then said, "You also know why we are here today. Are you ready?"
"No hurry."
Zhuge Yan shook his head with a smile and then waved his hand, saying, "It's easy to get angry if you don't stop. There's no hurry about the assessment. It's not late to start tomorrow. You came all the way here today, and it's getting late. I've already asked people to prepare food. Fill your stomach first."
Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin looked at each other and were about to say something.
"Dinner is ready."
A person who looked like a housekeeper suddenly came out from the side kitchen, faced Holy Doctor Zhuge very respectfully, and asked, "Mr. Zhuge, do you want to eat in the kitchen or in the yard today?"
"We have friends coming today, so we won't squeeze in the kitchen. Today's weather is good, so let's eat in the yard."
Zhuge Yan stood up and said with a gentle smile.
"Okay, I'll go prepare right away."
The housekeeper responded and nodded.
Soon.
Several workers came out and carried out a square table from the kitchen, and then a table of dishes one after another.
These dishes all looked very delicious, but if you looked closely, you would find that there was very little oil and it was very healthy.
"Sit down."
After the dishes were served, Holy Doctor Zhuge Yan said to Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin. Then he added, "I don't usually have the chance to eat so many dishes. One dish and one soup is enough."
"Senior Zhuge's way of maintaining good health makes me feel ashamed."
Xu Miaolin said.
"What are you ashamed of?"
Zhuge Yan shook his head and said, "If it weren't for my teeth failing me, I wouldn't want to eat that soup and dish every day. You should just call me Big Brother Zhuge in the future. You keep calling me Senior. Shouldn't your student call me Senior Qian?"
"Brother Zhuge."
Xu Miaolin thought it made sense, so he nodded and shouted.
"Yes."
Zhuge Yan nodded satisfactorily and began to ask Xu Miaolin and Fang Qiu to eat.
The three of them chatted as they ate.
They were talking about some trivial matters that had nothing to do with TCM.
The meal lasted for forty minutes.
The three of them were very happy.
At night.
The three of them sat in the courtyard of the courtyard house.
"Senior Zhuge."
Fang Qiu pointed to the gate of the siheyuan and asked, "Don't we need to close this gate?"
"You don't need to close the gate here."
Zhuge Yan nodded with a smile and said, "It's not because this is a special area, nor because there is any special saying here. It's simply because the neighbors are very familiar with each other and everyone trusts each other."
Fang Qiu was surprised.
This was indeed an area where few people came, but it didn't mean that no outsiders came.
Was it really good to leave the gate wide open?
A thought came to his mind.
Fang Qiu found that the workers in the yard were obviously on duty and patrolling.
He took a look.
It was obviously a big family in ancient times. Even at night, the middle gate was wide open because there were people patrolling the manor and no one dared to go in.
Another theory was that if someone was determined to steal, not to mention closing the door, even if you pulled up the electric fence, someone would still be able to sneak in. If no one stole, even if you opened the safe, you wouldn't lose a single cent.
"In the past two years, I have heard a lot about your deeds."
Zhuge Yan looked at Fang Qiu with a smile and said, "I have also carefully learned about your medical path. Old Xu has a good student."
Xu Miaolin smiled.
"Let me tell you about my medical path," Wang Yao said.
Zhuge Yan said with a smile and then looked into the distance as if he was lost in memories. He opened his mouth and said, "I was very stupid. At that time, I officially began to learn Chinese Medicine. There were seven of us. My senior brothers were very powerful. As the seventh, I was the last one. Compared with other senior brothers, I was very stupid."
"At that time, the war was chaotic."
Mr. Zhuge Yan smiled as if he was not involved in it and told this matter that had nothing to do with him. He said, "The war at that time was very terrible. Wherever there was war, there were heavy casualties. We had already hidden in the mountains, looking at the place where the war broke out thousands of kilometers away from us and sighing. We wanted to save people's lives, but we couldn't get there because the distance was too far. In that chaotic world, once we went down the mountain, we might face the crisis of death."
"In that case, we could only pray for the people on the battlefield."
"However."
"Soon, the war spread to our side. The mountain we were on was still very safe, but because the war had reached the scope of our ability, my master could no longer bear the inner torment and decided to go down the mountain to save people."
"Master has left. He wants us seven brothers to live well."
"Just a few days after master left, the first senior brother also left, then the second senior brother, the third senior brother … In the end, the sixth senior brother also left."
"Before leaving, the sixth senior brother told me very solemnly. He said, 'Don't go down the mountain, no matter what …'"
Here.
Listening to Zhuge Yan's story.
Fang Qiu seemed to see a picture.
It was a lush mountain hidden in the world. There was a yard on the mountain, in which lived a middle-aged man and seven young people.
The youngest one was Zhuge Yan.
Although compared with the others, Zhuge Yan was indeed a little stupid, his senior brothers took care of him and liked him very much. Everyone was also willing to protect him.
One day.
The middle-aged man went up the mountain to dig herbs. When he stood on the top of the mountain, he saw the explosion coming from the horizon and the black smoke rising into the sky.
Then, the middle-aged man found the eldest senior brother among the seven young people.
"You have to protect your senior brothers and wait for me to come back."
The middle-aged man carried a box full of medical tools and went down the mountain.
In the yard on the mountain, there were only seven people left.
Later.
The seven people went down the mountain one by one.
At the last one.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the approaching smoke, he heard the rumbling explosion.
"Clap!"
A young man who was addressed as the Sixth Senior Brother slapped a young man heavily. He stared at the youngest young man with a solemn expression and said, "I've already prepared food and water in advance. It should be enough for you to last until the battle is over. I'm going down the mountain now. No matter what happens, you must not leave the mountain. Do you understand?"
"Why?"
The teenager asked, his face full of reluctance.
"Because you are our root."
The sixth senior brother smiled and touched the teenager's head. Then he turned his head and looked into the distance, where the smoke was rising, and said, "It's very dangerous there. I don't know if I can come back alive, and I don't know if master and senior brothers can come back alive. All of our hopes can only be pinned on you. If we all die, you must pass on what master taught you. You can't let these things be lost!"
"I'll wait for you to come back."
The teenager said with hope in his eyes.
He believed.
Master and senior brothers would definitely come back.
In the end, he watched the sixth senior brother go down the mountain.
In the future.
He studied hard on the mountain every day.
"Three months later."
Zhuge Yan's voice came. Although he had a smile on his face, his voice sounded a little trembling.
"Bad news."
"My master and six senior brothers were all killed when they were treating the people who were seriously injured by the bombing. None of them survived."
"And I … have been studying hard since then."
"Even now."
"I don't dare to let go."
…
Hearing this.
Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He seemed to put himself in Zhuge Yan's shoes and experienced everything that Divine Doctor Zhuge Yan had experienced.
But he knew.
It was hard for him to experience that kind of experience in his life.
Because the times were different.
What kind of people were born in different times. In the background of that era, he had to bear the pressure alone. He had to bear the bad news of the death of his master and six senior brothers alone. What kind of experience would that be?
If it was in modern times.
He was afraid that the teenager would completely break down and be unable to recover.
Thinking of this.
Fang Qiu looked up at Zhuge Yan.
He found that when this kind old man talked about the most painful experience in his life, there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. Even if his voice was trembling, the smile did not diminish at all.
Fang Qiu knew.
This was because he did it.
He did the task that his master and senior brothers gave him. He really took up the hope of his master and senior brothers. He let his master and senior brothers rest in peace in heaven. So he smiled.
However, his trembling voice deeply revealed how terrified he had been as he faced those days.
On the side.
Xu Miaolin also took a deep breath and was very shocked.
"I have something to tell you."
Zhuge Yan looked at Fang Qiu and said, "I tell you this because I want to tell you that what I'm talking about is just the rise and fall of a family. Compared with my experience, the rise and fall of Chinese Medicine is more miserable and heavier than what I have experienced."
Xu Miaolin nodded.
Fang Qiu also nodded with understanding.
"I took up the hope of my master and six senior brothers, and your generation takes up the hope of Chinese Medicine, especially you."
Zhuge Yan opened his mouth and said, "I know your current strength of Chinese Medicine is very strong, but because the hope you bear is too heavy, you must work harder than before."
