Chapter 281: The Infatuated Old Man
Jiang Hao drove the Wrangler in person and took Fang Tanya with him. After half an hour, he finally saw a village.
This village is very unique because the entire village is built under a huge natural wall hole. From a distance, it gives people a sense of magical and shocking feeling.
I soon arrived at the entrance of the village. The architecture was a typical Dai style. Whether it was the style, the villagers' clothing, or their local language, Jiang Hao and Fang Tanya naturally couldn't understand it.
When Jiang Hao saw a young man passing by, he immediately went up and asked politely: "May I ask, is there a doctor named Yan Lao here?"
"Are you looking for Old Man Yan?"
The young man nodded, pointed to the deepest part of the village near the wall hole, and said to Jiang Hao: "His house is in the innermost, a small black house. You are from outside, are you looking for him to buy medicine?"
"Um."
Jiang Hao nodded, and the young man smiled and said, "I advise you not to go, Old Man Yan will not give you medicine."
"Why?" Jiang Hao asked curiously.
"He is just a weird old man. He didn't even give us any medicine we wanted to buy from him." The young man stopped and smiled.
This made Jiang Hao and Fang Tanya look at each other, but they still parked their car at the entrance of the village and walked into the small village. Looking at them, they also aroused the curiosity of the villagers.
Soon Jiang Hao pulled Fang Tanya and finally walked under the hole in the wall. The small thatched hut thatched hut thatched from a distance looked very dilapidated from a distance, with smoke rising from a distance. Jiang Hao smelled a smell of medicine from afar, nodded and smiled: "It seems that what medicine he is practicing."
As he said that, he took Fang Tanya up and came to the fence of the house yard. He saw a big black dog tied to the door. When he saw Jiang Hao and Fang Tanya, the big black dog jumped up and barked wildly. Fang Tanya's face turned pale and he grabbed Jiang Hao's arm tightly: "This dog is so fierce."
"Are you afraid of dogs?"
Looking at Fang Tanya's nervous look, Jiang Hao was funny, but at this time, an old man wearing local clothes walked out of the simple dark room, with long pale hair tied behind him with a rope.
His chin was white and messy beard, and I don’t know how long it took for him to trim it. I almost saw his mouth, and his whole body was dirty, with a strong smell of medicine, as if it was coming out of a medicine jar, which made people unable to help but cover their noses and disgust.
"Who are you? What are you here for?"
The old man saw Jiang Hao and Fang Tanya at the door, and shouted angrily in a difficult to understand spoken language, "You guys go quickly, I won't sell medicine, if I don't say anything, I'll let the dog bite you..."
"What did he say?" Fang Tanya couldn't understand the old man's words at all.
Jiang Hao smiled bitterly, he understood a little, and said, "He said, don't sell medicine, let us go, if you don't leave, let the dog bite..."
"Oh, who is this person? Let's go back quickly. If it really doesn't work, go to the city to buy it. There must be a big pharmacy." Fang Tanya was afraid of the dog, so she pulled Jiang Hao away.
Jiang Hao didn't want to waste time, so he shouted to the old man inside: "Are you Doctor Yan? I'm here to ask for a Wuhuang herb. I don't know if you have it here."
"No, I won't sell it even if there is one. You guys get out of here."
The old man was holding a medicine jar and cursing in local language from time to time. Anyway, he was very upset now, so he naturally ignored Jiang Hao. After saying that, he turned around and went into the room.
"Isn't that Wuhuang..."
But Jiang Hao looked at the door of his room, among which there were many herbs hanging, there were Wuhuang herbs, but the old man ignored him at all. The big black dog at the door was barking fiercely, trying to break free from the chain and rushing over, which made Fang Tanya scared and hugged Jiang Hao's arm tightly.
"Who are you?"
But at this time, a young girl in her fifteen or sixteen years old was wearing Dai costumes, carrying a small basket in her hand, with a cute face and dark skin, but her smart and beautiful eyes were looking at Jiang Hao and Fang Tanya curiously and asked, "You are from other places, are you going to sell medicine with Grandpa Yan?" 61
Jiang Hao Fang Tanya turned around, looked at the little girl, nodded and said, "Well, we want to buy a Wuhuang herb. My little sister will help us and persuade Dr. Yan to sell it later?"
"Don't call Lao Hei."
A Xiu scolded the big black dog, and the big dog immediately lay quietly wherever he said to Jiang Hao: "Grandpa Yan's herbs have never been sold, so you should go back."
Jiang Hao frowned, but he saw Wuhuang herbs in front of him. He was a little unwilling to go back like this. He asked curiously: "He picked so many medicines, why can't he sell them? Is it used to treat your villagers?"
A Xiu pushed open the small wooden door, turned his head and shook his head at Jiang Hao: "No, Grandpa Yan went up the mountain to collect so many medicines, to refine medicine and treat grandma."
"Refining medicine, curing diseases? Is your grandma sick?" Jiang Hao asked.
Ah Xiu showed sadness and shook her head and said, "My grandma passed away five years ago."
Jiang Hao and Fang Tanya were stunned, looking at each other, looking at Ah Xiu and said, "Then why are your grandfather still refining medicine?"
"I'll deliver food to my grandfather first, and I'll talk about it later."
A Xiu took the small basket first, making Jiang Hao and Fang Tanya curious, thinking that the old man had a story.
Soon the little girl Ah Show came out, and Fang Tanya couldn't help but ask curiously: "Little sister, can you tell us?"
"Uh-huh."
A Xiu nodded and said, "My grandma died of illness. My grandfather thought that it was because he failed to cure my grandma's illness, which led to her death. So my grandfather has been hiding at home for the past three years to study medicines that can cure my grandma. Therefore, the herbs he picked were all for refining medicines. Others wanted to buy medicine from him, but he didn't sell them."
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Hao nodded. It seemed that the old man Yan was blaming himself for his wife's death and fell into crazy refining medicine. He asked, "Then hasn't he been practicing successfully yet?"
"Yes, no one knows what medicine he is practicing. When we asked him, he refused to say that he would hide in the house to refine medicine all day long, or just go up the mountain to collect medicine alone.
My dad and I both advised him, but he just refused to listen and insisted on refining it into medicine to cure my grandma's illness. Now everyone says that my grandfather is crazy." A Xiu looked sad, and she was very sad about everyone saying that his grandfather made her very sad.
"It seems that your grandfather is still a lover." Fang Tanya sighed, and she actually envied Axiu's grandmother a little.
"What herbs do you want?" A Xiu asked at Jiang Hao.
"Well, I need five yellow medicine to refine medicine." Jiang Hao nodded and smiled.
A Xiu was stunned and immediately: "You can refine medicine?"
"See some."
Jiang Hao nodded. The ancestor Yuan Shi Medical Immortal was an immortal-level pharmacist. The elixir he refined could revive the dead. It was not possible for Jiang Hao to achieve. However, he naturally understood the common refining techniques of inheriting Yuan Shi Medical Immortal's medical skills.
"Really, can you teach my grandfather?" A Xiu said excitedly to Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao was stunned and smiled and said, "What medicine is your grandpa practicing..."
"Bang!"
But suddenly, a sudden explosion made Fang Tanya scream in shock. Jiang Hao was stunned and A Xiu looked helpless: "It's time to buy a medicine jar again..."
