"Tian Lei, you know that my Ye family is already the ninth generation from our ancestors to mine, right?"
Zhu Tianlei nodded and shook his head.
He really didn't understand the development history of the Ye family. He only knew that the Ye family was very famous in Yunhai, and even had a certain status in China. Ye Hongzhou himself was the head of the China Traditional Chinese Medicine Association.
"It has been 223 years since the opening of the Ye Family Medical Center about two hundred years ago. This year, it is more than two hundred years. I originally thought that although I would not be able to carry forward the Ye Family Medical Center, at least I would not be able to carry it forward.
Let the end of the Ye family fall into my hands. Looking at it now, I am afraid that I will really become the sinner of the Ye family through the ages!"
Ye Hongzhou stroked the patterns on the box with his hand, his voice was horrifyingly low.
"Grandpa, don't say that, Mingze is already sensible, he..."
Hearing Ye Hongzhou's words, Ye Mingzhi's eye circles turned red. It can be seen that Ye Mingzhi is sincerely filial and loving to Ye Hongzhou.
"Mingzhi, please go out first. I have something to say to Tian Lei alone."
Ye Mingzhi was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, I'm right outside. If you need anything, just call me."
Ye Mingzhi turned around and walked out, closing the door of the medical center.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
"What does the old man want to tell me?"
Zhu Tianlei was the first to break the silence. He didn't like this depressing feeling.
"Tian Lei, please open this box!"
Ye Hongzhou reached out and pushed the box in the direction of Zhu Tianlei, with something a little unclear in his eyes.
Zhu Tianlei looked at the box and found it was very ordinary.
If it were thrown on the street, no one would take a second look.
The material of this box is the worst compared to any other wooden furniture in the house, not to mention the faucet crutch in Mr. Ye's hand and the huanghuali chair under their buttocks.
What could be in such an ordinary and extraordinary box?
Mr. Ye didn't speak anymore or urge him. He just kept looking at Zhu Tianlei with his eyes.
Zhu Tianlei hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took off the lock on the box.
Inside the box is a small box.
What is this, a box within a box?
But in comparison, the material and workmanship of this smaller box are better than the one outside.
Ye Hongzhou still said nothing, but pointed at the box with a finger covered with age spots, gesturing for Zhu Tianlei to continue.
Zhu Tianlei pressed down the spring lock on the small box.
I'll go.
There is actually a box inside.
What to do?
But this time, Zhu Tianlei opened the small box without waiting for Ye Hongzhou's signal.
Inside is a small bottle.
This bottle is completely white.
It was as white as snow that had just fallen and was not stained with dust.
But unlike white snow, this white is transparent and shiny, like jade but not jade.
In the white bottle, you can faintly see something moving.
Living creature?
Zhu Tianlei did not touch the bottle, but looked up at Ye Hongzhou.
"This is the thank you gift I prepared for you."
Ye Hongzhou reached out and touched his chin twice.
He has a beard on his chin, but the beard is not long. He said he was touching his beard, but he was actually touching his chin.
"Old man, with all due respect, I really don't see what this thing is."
Although Zhu Tianlei didn't want the so-called thank you gift, he was curious when he saw the strange thing in front of him.
"I said that our Ye family is already the ninth generation of my generation. For more than two hundred years, the Ye family has been able to remain standing. In addition to relying on the inheritance of the Ye family's own medical skills and the continuous self-improvement of the Ye family's descendants,
There’s one more thing, and that’s it.”
"it?"
Zhu Tianlei couldn't help but glance at the white bottle in the small box again. The living thing inside seemed to move again.
"This thing is called 'blood silkworm'."
What?
Hearing Ye Hongzhou's words, Zhu Tianlei was surprised. If his concentration was not good enough, he might have jumped up from his chair.
"What? Do you know about blood silkworms?"
Ginger is still old and spicy. Even though Zhu Tianlei tried his best to hide it, Ye Hongzhou still saw something abnormal in Zhu Tianlei's reaction.
"Old man, keep talking!"
Zhu Tianlei did not return to Ye Hongzhou.
"The blood silkworms are the heirloom of my Ye family. The medical skills of the Ye family can surpass other major families, and the blood silkworms are indispensable. However, the blood silkworms are extremely difficult to raise, extremely delicate, and very difficult to reproduce. Originally, there were three blood silkworms.
, but in my hands, this is the only one left, and..."
Ye Hongzhou's eyes dimmed and he sighed slightly.
"In my generation, blood silkworms seem to have lost their vitality. They spend most of their time dormant and rarely move, let alone reproduce. Maybe this is why God wants to destroy my Ye family!
"
Zhu Tianlei looked away from Ye Hongzhou's face and looked at the contents of the bottle again.
Blood silkworm, snow silkworm?
Is there any connection between these two things?
"The old man wants to give it to me?"
Zhu Tianlei felt a little strange. Not to mention that this thing was an heirloom of their Ye family. Even if it wasn't, what was the use of giving him a blood silkworm that was basically unable to move as a pet?
"Yes, I know you must be thinking in your heart, this blood silkworm looks like it has run out of energy, old man, I am joking, there is no sincerity."
Well!
Zhu Tianlei didn't expect that Ye Hongzhou would be so direct and exposed his thoughts without any concealment. He could only laugh twice.
"The lifespan of blood silkworms is very long. The lifespan of a blood silkworm is at least 150 years. This blood silkworm is much older than my old bones. It was cultivated by my grandfather.
I remember that when it first hatched, it was blood red all over and had a faint red light, which was very strange."
There was a smile on Ye Hongzhou's lips, as if he was immersed in the memories of the past.
Zhu Tianlei was actually a little anxious, but at this moment and in this situation, he couldn't easily interrupt.
"I gave it to you because I know you have the ability to make it move again and even reproduce offspring again."
Suddenly, Ye Hongzhou turned his head, and the light in his eyes startled Zhu Tianlei.
Reproduce?
Are you kidding, can you give birth to a baby by touching yourself?
After all, giving birth to a child requires both seeds and land. Only by combining the two can it be successful. How can we give birth to a worm like this?
"Blood silkworms don't need to be together with blood silkworms to reproduce. There is another kind, snow silkworms. Although this kind of snow silkworms are all white, they are the same species as blood silkworms. Moreover, only you can find snow silkworms."
Be good!
Zhu Tianlei rolled his eyes.
Why does he feel like this is a conspiracy?
Ye Hongzhou seems to be using himself to give birth to a child for his Ye family?
Or, what does this old man Ye know? (To be continued)
