Chapter Six: Home Consultation (Please Subscribe for Recommendations and Monthly Ticket Rewards)
Wu Siyuan drove for more than 6 hours before finally arriving at the hometown in Hu Ergou's memory.
In a relatively luxurious house in the dusty village, Wu Siyuan met Hu Ergou's brother.
Ten years ago, his brother had his leg broken. Although he was treated in time and could still walk on his feet, he had to use crutches.
But this is also the greatest blessing among misfortunes.
You didn't lose your life there!
However, no rich woman would like a duck with inconvenient legs and feet.
Hu Ergou's brother couldn't survive anymore, so he had to go back to his hometown.
With Hu Ergou's help from time to time, life in the village was not too bad. He built a house, married a wife, gave birth to two sons, and lived an honest life.
When Wu Siyuan passed by, Hu Ergou's brother was sitting on the stone platform in the yard, basking in the sun.
When he saw Wu Siyuan, he was a little surprised, and there was something strange in his eyes - Hu Ergou often traveled outside and had not returned to his hometown for many years.
He hesitated for a moment, showed a polite smile, and said, "Ergou, are you back home?"
"Yeah." Wu Siyuan hummed lightly.
"Are you okay outside?" Hu Ergou hesitated and asked again.
He knew what Hu Ergou did for a living outside, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
After all, he himself is not clean either.
Moreover, if a rural boy has no skills, if he wants to live a better life outside, doesn't he have to resort to any means?
"It's okay." Wu Siyuan looked like he cherished his words like gold. He really didn't know what to say!
Let’s not talk about Wu Siyuan, let’s talk about the original owner Hu Ergou. He and his brother are almost in two different worlds, and there is a slight sense of alienation when they meet.
Moreover, Hu Ergou's brother still had a hint of hidden jealousy towards Hu Ergou. He hated why it was him and not Hu Ergou who had his leg broken in the first place!
Otherwise, it would not be such a scene today.
It's just that such words cannot be spoken out loud, and they can only be buried deep in Hu Ergou's heart and be revealed inadvertently.
As for Hu Ergou, he had been watching people outside a lot and had developed a pair of vicious eyes. His brother's little thoughts were naturally discovered by Hu Ergou.
Hu Ergou was not at ease in his heart, so he rarely went home for many years. The two brothers, who were originally on a harmonious relationship, felt more alienated.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Hu Ergou's brother seemed a little uncomfortable. After a moment of silence, he said,
"Have you eaten yet? I'll let your sister-in-law cook, and we two will have some wine."
"No need! I went home to do something." Wu Siyuan waved his hand and said.
"What's the matter?" When Wu Siyuan said this, Hu Ergou's brother felt relieved.
"Change the name!" Wu Siyuan said.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………
It is not difficult to change the name in rural areas, as long as the money is available.
Wu Siyuan invited a [capable man] to eat and drink, and gave him several thousand yuan. Wu Siyuan didn't need to worry about other things, he would naturally help Wu Siyuan take care of it.
A week later, Wu Siyuan got the temporary ID card. The official ID card would take some time. Wu Siyuan didn't want to waste time in the village, so he rushed to Beijing without stopping.
When we returned to Beijing, it was almost noon.
Wu Siyuan didn't care about eating and went directly to a place.
【Kangnian Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic】!
The name of the owner of this traditional Chinese medicine clinic is Zou Kangnian!
That's right, it's the old Chinese doctor who gave Hou Longtao the secret recipe of [Golden Scale Grass] to aphrodisiac in the novel.
[Four-Armed King Kong] found out the whereabouts of Zou Kangnian from various registration materials very early on.
However, Wu Siyuan was in Shanxi at that time, so he was delayed until today.
This secret recipe for aphrodisiac related to [Golden Scale Grass] can be said to be the only thing of value to Wu Siyuan in the entire novel.
Wu Siyuan is destined to win.
He raised his legs and entered the clinic.
There is a smell of mixed Chinese medicinal materials floating inside the clinic, and everything you see is very clean and tidy.
It was approaching noon, and there was only one sitting doctor in the entire clinic.
He looked to be about sixty years old, with a rosy complexion and a very healthy appearance.
From the information sent by [Four-Armed King Kong], Wu Siyuan confirmed that this doctor was the Zou Kangnian he was looking for.
Although he looks only sixty years old, he is actually in his nineties.
He was born in 1910 and has experienced the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and modern times. It can be said that he has experienced three dynasties.
According to the records in the book, Zou Kangnian's ancestor was a well-known medical family in the Jiangnan area. For his contribution of aphrodisiac drugs, he was awarded by Emperor Qianlong, became a member of the Imperial Hospital, and received a Manchu surname.
Zou Kangnian once said in a book that it was precisely because of the royal medicine of his ancestors that Qianlong was able to enjoy spring supper every night and live a long life, becoming one of the rare longevity kings in history.
It's just that in the later period of Qianlong's reign, Qianlong became mediocre and self-willed. Zou Kangnian's ancestors couldn't stand it anymore, so they retired and took root in the capital.
Zou Kangnian can be regarded as a man with ill-fated fate. He originally had a son, two daughters, and a grandchild. However, during the movement that spread across the country, all of his descendants died unfortunately.
Zou Kangnian himself became disheartened.
If he hadn't wanted to bring the secret recipe of [Golden Scale Grass] passed down from his ancestors to the coffin, he would have gone with his children long ago.
Later, Zou Kangnian had a car accident and was seen by Hou Longtao who was on the side and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Therefore, Hou Longtao was considered by Zou Kangnian as a man of conscience, so he passed on the secret recipe of [Golden Scale Grass] to him.
Only then did Zou Kangnian pass away peacefully.
And this secret recipe of [Golden Scale Grass] also played a major role in Hou Longtao's subsequent life trajectory!
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …
All this information flashed through Wu Siyuan's mind. Wu Siyuan's expression remained unchanged and he sat in front of Zou Kangnian's consultation table, "Doctor."
"Well, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zou Kangnian asked routinely.
"Yes, no!" Wu Siyuan said very neatly. Anyway, he is Hu Ergou now, oh, it is Hu Xuejun, his name has been changed.
It's not him, Wu Siyuan, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Zou Kangnian, on the other hand, glanced at Wu Siyuan unexpectedly.
Out of the pride of Chinese men, there is no one who can say this so frankly!
So he looked at Wu Siyuan carefully and then said, "Stretch out your hand."
Zou Kangnian is a Chinese medicine doctor. He said that he was about to perform [pulse detection]!
There is a theory in Chinese medicine called "Looking, hearing, asking and feeling".
Looking is to observe the patient's development, complexion, tongue coating, expression, etc.; smelling is listening to the patient's voice, coughing, wheezing, and smelling the patient's bad breath, body odor and other odors; questioning is asking the patient about the symptoms he or she feels, what he has experienced before. Diseases you have suffered from, etc.; the first step is to check the pulse with your hands or press the abdomen to see if there are lumps. This is called the four diagnosis.
