Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 195 The "fallen" genius of the Chen family (Part [-])
Chen Lao, with his hands behind his back, had a more curved back than usual.

Gu Cuo lowered his eyebrows and looked sideways at him, "Are you... are you okay?" The old man's body is not very good, and the doctor doesn't heal himself, so he is fine on weekdays, but when it's cold, rainy and cold, he feels uncomfortable all over.The exact extent of the discomfort, Gucuo has never seen it, but Ji Wuyan said that once she saw Mrs. Chen rolling on the ground in pain.

In fact, Mr. Chen is not suitable for coming to Yanjing City. The weather in Yanjing City is too difficult for Mr. Chen. He has been recuperating in Yunzhou for many years before he can be considered stable. Now this encounter may be a failure.

But he came anyway, without hesitation.

"It's an old problem." He said, his face was very calm, as if to say, the rain looks good, "After you get used to it, it's not a big problem."

Gu Cuo pondered for a moment, "I heard that the head of the Imperial Hospital is also good at medicine, why don't you... ask him to show you?"

"Look at what!" Old Chen suddenly became displeased. "In terms of medical skills, is he better or me? For no reason, let those who are not as good as me show me what, what do they know?" The ground is so deep that it looks like no number of cows can be pulled back.

Some childish.

"Doctors don't heal themselves." As if coaxing an old child, Gu Cuo persuaded him, "You look like Xiao Ning because you shy away from medical treatment. You don't want to talk about her in the future, and you are too. Generally the same."

"Bullshit!"

Blowing his beard and staring, after shouting, Mr. Chen also felt that he looked too aggressive, so he remained silent.The other party didn't think much of it, but I was a bit embarrassed to hide it. I coughed and coughed again, watching the steps under the heavy rain, with long and deep eyes, as if looking at a more distant and unreachable time the end.

"It was an old problem when I was young. At that time, I didn't care about treating it... Later, it couldn't be cured." It was an explanation for my own disease, but the words seemed to be careless and perfunctory. Twitched the corner of his mouth.Under the cover of a thick beard, it is not obvious.

Gucuo didn't speak.

In the room, the little girl was sobbing, and outside, the rain continued, and this small area under the porch turned out to be the most relaxing place.Mr. Chen pulled the low stool aside, and kicked the ancient house's shoes, "Hey."

He said, "Young man, do you want to hear...the old man's story." As he spoke, he pointed to another low stool beside him.

So they sat side by side.

The Chen family can be said to be a family of medicine. It is said that counting from the previous head of the family, three, four, five generations, they all worked as imperial physicians in the palace. According to test.

Such a family may not necessarily be extremely powerful, but it must have the widest network of contacts. No matter in any corner, you can find someone who has received the favor of the Chen family.

And Mr. Chen, called Chen Song, was the genius of the Chen family who rose to fame more than 40 years ago.

"You...you know all of this, right?" Old Chen looked at the ancient house and smiled gently, half of his face was covered by a gray beard, but he could no longer see the frivolity and complacency of a young man in his eyes.

"Yes... this junior knows." Gu Cuo nodded, not denying that he had secretly investigated Mr. Chen.There are several old men in Ji's family who look "unattractive" like this. They often don't see people on weekdays, and they are a little idle, but they are very calm when they are critical.

Gucuo was naturally curious, asked Ji Wuyan, and conducted a secret investigation. He really didn't know if he didn't check, but he was shocked when he checked...

"People in the world say that you disappeared when you entered the mountain herbal medicine... and some say that you have... disappeared." But now it seems that this is not the case.

"Heh... these years, I'm afraid even the descendants of the Chen family are about to forget me..." Mr. Chen smiled and shook his head, as if he didn't care about such forgetting.His mood was so calm that it was difficult for Gucuo to see any clues from his expression, so he just leaned against the wall behind him, watching the rain while listening to Mr. The inside story that I don't know and can't guess.

Some families that are old enough have some bad habits that are unknown.And the Chen family... probably can't be regarded as bad habits, but dirty.

They are obsessed with medical skills, making all kinds of pills, and experimenting with people.

The old and the weak, women and children in the clan are all the objects they use to test the medicine...including the mother of the talented boy Chen Song.Of course, no one would tell Chen Song about these things. He was personally taken by the patriarch, and every day, different elders in the clan would teach and test him. It took half a day every ten days to go home and have a meal Meal, talk to mother.

Therefore, he never noticed that his mother was forced to test the medicine.

Until... something went wrong.

By the time I realized it, several days had passed.

When I went home that day, my mother was not waiting at the door of the house, and there was no food he liked. The pot was empty and the stove was cold, and my mother, lying on the bed with a weak face, smiled at him, saying that it was because of an occasional feeling in the past two days. wind chill.And the father, sitting in the courtyard, sighed one after another.

"Of course I can see that my mother is not suffering from a cold. I understand that she has taken medicine and has broken her body, but I, who is a genius...can't cure my mother." Reincarnation and reincarnation, but talking about this matter, Mr. Chen still had red eyes. He said, "I went to the patriarch to ask for medicine to cure my mother. But there was no... so I knew that my mother would die in three to five days. Trying the medicine, and the medicine was made by my father... This man, who has made no achievements in the medical field for most of his life, because he was unwilling to be teased by the tribe and was inferior to his own son, he vowed with all his heart to solve the problem of hundreds of people in the tribe. A problem that has not been solved for many years..."

"I know that the Chen family has a magic pill that can bring the dead back to life. It was left by the ancestors. I asked the patriarch to give me the medicine... That year was nine cold days, and it snowed for three full days. I knelt in the patriarch's courtyard for three days. A pair of legs, just useless."

"I was carried back, and when I woke up... my mother was gone. Disappointed, I voluntarily removed my name from the Chen family, and promised not to accept disciples, preach, or work in this life, and go far away." I left as soon as my mother's first seven days passed. At that time, my leg injury was not healed, and I had no intention of treating it on the way.

In the rainy sky, there are two men in the corridor, one is almost ancient, and the other is just weak.At that time, Mr. Chen was about the same age as him. He was the most proud, highly regarded, and cultivated genius with all the strength of the family. Almost everyone looked forward to him growing up and leading the Chen family. to another unreachable height.
