The old man smiled slightly: "Of course I have heard of Zhang Weiyong's name. He can be said to be a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."
The old man deliberately pretended to be calm and calm, but Chen Wei saw all this and knew in his heart that the old man deliberately refused to admit it.
"Grandpa Zhang's family is very miserable. Now they only have one great-grandson left. Grandpa Zhang's grandson and I are good friends. Since his accident, their family has experienced changes one after another. Grandpa Zhang and his son passed away one after another."
The old man dropped the herbs in his hand, stood up slowly, and walked outside.
When it got dark, the old man came back and cooked food for Chen Wei with his own hands.
He and Zhang Xuewen basically did not eat after lunch, and most of the time they were fasting. Outsiders would definitely not be able to adapt to this kind of lifestyle, so the meals were cooked for Chen Wei.
The old man brought the food over, and while Chen Wei was eating, the old man spoke: "My master was an imperial physician in the former Qing Dynasty. When the Qing Dynasty fell, my master left the palace. He went to the south from Beijing and found a small village to hide in.
Later, warlords fought, the Republic of China government was established, and the Anti-Japanese War began. I am an orphan adopted by my master.
, when I came to their house to beg for food, the master saw that I was pitiful, so he adopted me. I was still young at that time, so I followed the master's son to learn how to identify herbal medicines every day. The master accepted me as an apprentice, and I followed my senior brother, who is also the master.
I studied Chinese medicine with my son. The master regarded me as his own son and said that I was very talented in studying medicine."
Chen Wei listened quietly to the old man's words. He had already realized that based on his age, the senior brother mentioned by the old man should be Zhang Weiyong.
When the old man heard that Zhang Weiyong had passed away just now, his reaction was too strong. Chen Wei also saw from this that the relationship between the old man and Zhang Weiyong was not simple.
"When we became adults, our master felt that we had learned enough, so he asked us to start practicing medicine. My senior brother has been studying medicine since he was a child, and his medical skills are much better than mine. I also admire my senior brother. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask him.
Brother and senior teacher were also very patient in teaching me. Later, the two of us started
Later, I got married and also ushered in liberation. I gave birth to a daughter, which happened to catch up with the movement and life was difficult for everyone. That was the year when my senior brother’s son was born. A son and a daughter.
We have such a good relationship, so we got married under the witness of our master.
In-laws, we are closer to each other. But it was during that movement that I made a mistake that I will never be able to forgive myself for in my life. Those people forced me to betray my master. I am grateful for the kindness of my master’s family, and I thought about going through it
I also did it. However, the master still died. After being criticized
When I was three months old, I committed suicide by jumping into a river. That kind of thing is really something that no one can bear. My senior brother rushed to my house, beat me, and scolded me for not being a human being. He said that I betrayed my master and took his life away.
I told those people in the past, so those people forced the master to death." The old man sighed.
"What happened next?" Chen Wei listened quietly. That movement was too far away from Chen Wei, but he had also heard about some things at that time. It was really thrilling. It was said that a sign was hung with a wire and pressed on the neck.
This pain and humiliation cannot be endured by anyone.
"Later we moved. Who knew that the two children had a good relationship since they were young and had always been in contact with each other. After my senior brother found out about this, he strongly opposed their being together and refused to let the eldest son go out. At that time, the eldest son
He has grown up, and his younger son is only ten years old. The younger son is the Zhang Chengzhi you know. You may not know that my senior brother also has an eldest son. To this day, I still regret it because of this incident. No one
Do you know whether they are dead or alive? Some people say they saw them jumping into the river and dying.
I fell in love, and I also found one of my daughter's shoes by the river. But I always felt that they were still alive. I watched these two children grow up. They were very smart and would never do such a thing.
Stupid thing. However, you have to say that they have been alive for decades and have no contact with their families. After that incident, my wife passed away not long after that, and I also left the south and came here to live a secluded life.
, If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that my senior brother’s family had experienced something like this.”
"Grandpa, thank you for telling me this." Chen Wei didn't dare to call him casually before. At that time, he thought that calling him grandpa would make him look less old. Now he knows that the old man and Zhang Weiyong are brothers, and they should not be much younger than Grandpa Zhang.
His grandfather couldn't be more appropriate.
"I think I know why he wants to accept you as his closed disciple." The old man looked at Chen Wei with a smile on his face, "You are indeed very talented."
Chen Wei smiled. He had a talent for hair. He had been learning acupuncture for so long, but he still didn't dare to use it on people.
This time I almost died again. I don't know what's going on with my legs now. Whether I can walk is still a problem. "Grandpa, don't be ridiculous. Grandpa Zhang has simply found the wrong person. What kind of closed disciple does he want me to do?"
This is a mistake, I might let him down. I can’t even understand the book he gave me. I’ve read it so many times that I almost memorized it, but I still can’t understand it.”
"You mean, senior brother gave you the medical book handed down from his family." The old man's eyes lit up and he looked at Chen Wei in surprise.
"Yeah! What's wrong?"
"That is a treasure that is not passed down from the master's family! Even if the master loves me no matter how much he loves me, he has never shown me those medical books, let alone given them to me."
"Grandpa, how about this! I'll ask my friend to deliver those books by courier, and you can check them out for me."
"Is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? Anyway, if you put it at home, it's just like a decoration to me. I'll probably have to stay here for a while, and maybe there's some way to heal my legs in it."
The old man smiled: "You don't need to read those medical books, I can also cure your legs. Since you think it is possible, ask your friend to courier the books and I will help you study it."
The two people chatted more and more, and Chen Wei told the old man a lot about Zhang Xiaogang's family. When the old man left, Zhang Chengzhi was still a child. He didn't expect that after so many years, even Zhang Chengzhi and his son were no longer alive.
.Only a single child was left behind. The old man did not expect that the Zhang family would actually make the industry so big.
Living in seclusion here, he could be isolated from the world, but there was also a regret, that is, his senior brother was gone, and he didn't even know about it, and he didn't even have the chance to say goodbye.
Those medical books arrived quickly, and Zhang Xuewen brought them up when he went down the mountain.
During this time together, the old man not only treated Chen Wei's injuries, but also taught herbal medicine, acupuncture, and explained all the obscure contents in medical books to Chen Wei. This was the first time that Chen Wei was so interested in medicine.
.
A day in the mountains means a thousand years have passed in this world. Before you know it, a few months have passed.
Chen Wei's leg has healed, but he has no intention of leaving. Instead, he wants to stay and study with the old man for at least another half year.
