Chapter 1935 The Story of the Year…

Look closely.

This old man had kind brows and a very good complexion, and a glance at him gave people a particularly relaxed and at ease feeling.

“Elder Zhuge.”

Xu Miaolin led Fang Qiu into the courtyard, and to the old man sitting inside the patio, he smiled, cupped his fists and bowed, saying, “I’ve brought my student to see you.”

“Elder wouldn’t dare.”

Zhuge Yan, who was enjoying a little song with his eyes closed, heard the sound of Xu Miaolin’s words and opened his eyes, turning off the radio placed on the tea table next to him before he said to Xu Miaolin with a smile, “You’re also a Sacred Doctor, let’s talk about our peers.”

Said.

Zhuge Yan turned his eyes to Fang Qiu and said, “This is your student, Fang Qiu?”

“Student Fang Qiu, meet Sage Doctor Zhuge.”

Fang Qiu immediately cupped his fists and bowed to Zhuge Yan.

“Good.”

Zhuge Yan nodded and smiled with satisfaction, saying, “Young man, full of essence, not humble, reasonable and teachable.”

“Sage Doctor Zhuge.”

Thinking about it, Xu Miaolin really didn’t know how to discuss the friendship, so he could only call out to the Sacred Doctor, and then said, “You also know why we’re here today, so you should be ready, right?”

“There’s no rush.”

Zhuge Yan smiled and shook his head and waved his hand again, saying, “Horses are prone to cause heart fire, there is no urgency in the examination, it’s not too late to start tomorrow, you guys came all the way here today, it’s not too early, I’ve already asked people to go and prepare a meal, fill up your stomachs first.”

Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin looked at each other and were about to say something.

“You may dine.”

A butler-like person suddenly came out from the side kitchen, very respectfully facing this Zhuge Sacred Doctor, inquiring, “Mr. Zhuge, will you be eating inside the kitchen today, or in the courtyard?”

“We have friends over today, so let’s not crowd inside the kitchen, it just so happens that it’s a nice day, let’s eat in the yard.”

Zhuge Yan stood up and said with a gentle smile.

“Okay, I’ll get ready right away.”

The butler nodded in response.

Soon.

A few workers came out and carried out a four-square table from the kitchen, and then another table of dishes was served one after another.

All of these dishes look exceptionally flavorful, but a closer look reveals that there is very little oil and they are very healthy to eat.

“Sit down.”

Only when the dishes were served did Sacred Doctor Zhuge Yan speak to Fang Qiu and Xu Miaolin before adding, “Normally, I don’t have the chance to eat so many dishes, one dish and one soup is enough.”

“Senior Zhuge’s regimen puts the late generation to shame.”

Xu Miaolin said.

“What shame?”

Zhuge Yan shook his head and said, “If it wasn’t for my teeth not being able to work, I wouldn’t want to eat that soup and vegetables every day, you’d better call me Big Brother Zhuge in the future, you’ve been calling me senior, shouldn’t your students call me ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex?”

“Brother Zhuge.”

Xu Miaolin felt justified and immediately nodded and shouted.

“Uh-huh.”

Zhuge Yan nodded in acceptance and began to greet Xu Miaolin and Fang Qiu for dinner.

The three of them ate and chatted.

The conversation was about trivialities that had nothing to do with Chinese medicine.

A meal that lasted forty minutes.

All three were happy.

By the end of the night.

The three sat on the patio of the quadrangle.

“Elder Zhuge.”

Fang Qiu pointed at the gate of the quadrangle and asked, “This gate, doesn’t it need to be closed?”

“None of the doors here need to be closed.”

Zhuge Yan smiled and nodded, saying, “It’s not because this is some special area, or because there’s anything special to say, it’s simply because, the neighbors are familiar with each other, and everyone trusts each other.”

Fang Qiu was surprised.

This was, indeed, an area where few people came, but that didn’t mean there weren’t outsiders.

Is it really good to have such an empty door wide open?

Mindfulness.

Fang Qiu, however, realized that those workers in the yard were obviously patrolling on their respective shifts.

This look.

Obviously a large ancient family, even at night, the center door was wide open, because there were people patrolling inside the manor, no one dared to go in at all.

There is also a saying that if someone is determined to steal, not to mention closing the door, you even if you pull up the power grid, someone can steal in, if no one steals, you even if you open the safe, will not be missing a penny.

“I’ve heard a lot about you in the past two years.”

Zhuge Yan looked at Fang Qiu with a smile on his face and said, “I have also carefully understood your path of learning medicine, Old Xu he has taken in a good student.”

Xu Miaolin laughed.

“Let me tell you about my path to learning medicine.”

Zhuge Yan smiled and said a sentence, then toward the distance, seems to fall into the memories in general, opened his mouth and said: “I’m very stupid, that time is the time when I officially began to learn Chinese medicine, all of our brothers in a total of seven, my brothers are very powerful, as the oldest seven, I’m the one who hangs on to the end of the line, compared to the other brothers in the class, I’m stupid as hell. ”

“In those days, the soldiers were in a state of turmoil.”

Old Mr. Zhuge Yan smiled, as if staying out of it, telling this thing that has nothing to do with himself in general, said, “The war at that time was horrible, where there was a war there were heavy casualties, we Ben would have already hid in the mountains, looking at the place where the war erupted thousands of kilometers away from us and sighing, wanting to save people’s lives but unable to rush to it, because the distance was just too far away , in that chaotic world, once you take one more step down the mountain, you may have to face the crisis of death.”

“In that situation, we can only pray for the people on the battlefield immediately.”

“Yet.”

“Soon the fighting spread toward us, and the mountain we were on remained safe, but because the fighting came within the reach of the force, my master could no longer bear the torment within him, and decided to go down to the mountain to save the people.”

“Master is gone, and he told us seven brothers and sisters to live well.”

“Just a few days after Master left, the eldest brother left as well, then the second, third …… to the last, the sixth brother left as well.”

“Before leaving, Sixth Senior Brother told me very solemnly, he said: you should not go down the mountain, no matter what ……”

This way.

Listening to Zhuge Yan.

Fang Qiu seemed to see an image.

It was a lush, high mountain tucked away from the rest of the world, and on the mountain there was a courtyard in which lived a middle-aged man and seven young men.

The youngest one is Zhuge Yan.

Although it was true that Zhuge Yan was a bit stupid compared to the others, the masters and brothers took care of him, they all liked him, and everyone was willing to protect him.

Someday.

The middle-aged man went up the mountain to dig medicine, and when he stood on the top of the mountain, he saw from afar the sound of explosions spreading in the sky, and saw the black smoke that rose up to the sky.

The middle-aged man then approached the oldest of the seven young men, Eldest Brother.

“You will protect your mentors and brothers until I return.”

The middle-aged man carried a box full of medical tools down the hill.

There were only seven people left in the courtyard on the hill.

Later.

One by one, the seven men descended and left the mountain.

To the last one.

Standing on the top of the hill, he looked at the smoke that had approached and heard the booming explosions.

“Pop!”

A young one, addressed as Sixth Senior Brother, slapped a heavy row on a teenager’s body, stared at the youngest teenager with a solemn face, and said, “I’ve prepared food and water in advance, enough to last you until the battle passes, and I’m about to go down the mountain, so no matter what, you mustn’t go down the mountain, got it?”

“Why?”

The teenager opened his mouth to inquire, his face full of dismay.

“Because you’re our roots.”

Sixth Senior Brother smiled, stroked the teenager’s head, then turned his head to look into the distance, where the smoke was rising, and said, “It’s very dangerous there, I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back alive, and I also don’t know if my master and brothers will be able to come back alive, and all of us can only pin our hopes on you, if we all die, you must properly teach your master the things to pass on, you can’t let these things be lost!”

“I’ll wait for you guys to come back.”

The teenager said with hopeful eyes.

He believes.

Master and brothers will surely return.

Finally, he watched his sixth senior brother descend the mountain.

Later days.

He studied and learned hard on the mountain every day.

“Three months later.”

Zhuge Yan’s words came out, and although there was a smile on his face, his words sounded slightly shaky.

“Bad news is coming.”

“My master and six senior brothers, while rescuing the people who were seriously injured by the bombing, were all blown up, and none of them survived.”

“And I …… have studied hard from that time until now.”

“Even now.”

“I’m afraid to even put it down.”

……

Hear this.

Fang Qiu’s eyebrows raised slightly.

It was as if he had put himself in his place, experiencing everything that Sacred Doctor Zhuge Yan had experienced.

But he knew.

That kind of experience is hard to relate to in his lifetime.

Because, times are different.

What kind of era creates what kind of people, and in the context of that era, the pressure that one has to bear alone, the sad news of the deaths of the Master and the six senior brothers alone, what kind of an experience would that be?

If we were to change to modern times.

I’m afraid that teenager will have a complete meltdown and fall flat on his face.

Mindful of this.

Fang Qiu looked up at Zhuge Yan.

It was found that this amiable old man, when he said this again the most painful experience of his life, had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and even when his tone trembled, that smile did not diminish by the slightest degree.

Fangchu knows.

That’s because he did.

He did what his master and brothers, gave him the task to do, he truly took up the hope of his master and brothers, he let his master and brothers in heaven can rest in peace, that’s why he smiled.

But those trembling words revealed deeply how much fear he had in his heart when he faced those days.

Aside.

Xu Miaolin also took a deep breath, shocked.

“There’s a word for you.”

Zhuge Yan looked at Fang Qiu and said, “I’m telling you this because I want to tell you that what I’m talking about is nothing more than the rise and fall of a family, and compared to what I’ve experienced, the rise and fall of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is even more tragic and heavier than what I’ve experienced.”

Xu Miaolin nodded.

Fang Qiu also nodded in understanding.

“I took on the hopes of my master and my six brothers, and your generation takes on the hopes of Chinese medicine, especially you.”

Zhuge Yan opened his mouth and said, “I know that your current strength in Chinese medicine is very strong, but because of the reason that the hope you bear is too heavy, you have to work hard, harder than before.”
