My legendary life

After leaving the Lin family, I was blown by the cold wind and I felt quite sober. Walk out of the community, involuntarily toward the direction of the clinic.

The plaque and light box of the clinic are still there, but there is a lot of dust on it, and countless small advertisements are pasted on the rolling shutter door, which seems a bit dilapidated. He did not approach, but looked at it from a distance. Vaguely, he seemed to see his father standing on the steps, busy and busy, maintaining the order of the queue. In an instant, he burst into tears.

The whistling north wind seems to be smaller, a few crystal snowflakes fell down, fell on his face, instantly turned into a drop of water, rolling down with tears.

It's snowing. Sporadic snowflakes turned into snow in a flash, flying and dancing all over the sky.

Standing in the snow, he suddenly thought, should I give Chang Xiaomei a call? For their own good prospects destroyed, the total comfort of a few bar. So, he wiped the tears on her face and dialed Chang Xiaomei's mobile phone.

"I was just going to call you." As soon as the phone was put through, Chang Xiaomei took the lead. Her tone was the same as before.

"Chang Ju, I heard that..." Before he had finished speaking, Chang Xiaomei interrupted: "if you don't talk about hearsay, you'd better listen to me about something important."

He had to nod and wait for Chang Xiaomei to go on.

"This afternoon, the relevant leaders talked to me. They asked me to go back to work in the provincial university of traditional Chinese medicine. I refused and offered to go to the grassroots level. It is estimated that there will be results soon. These are nothing. Even Mr. Deng has three ups and downs, not to mention I'm such a big official. " Chang Xiaomei calmly said: "what I care most about is the lawsuit between you and sun Kexin. Now it seems that it may not be able to help. You have to rely on yourself. How can you persist?"

He couldn't help laughing bitterly. He said in his heart, what's the use of my persistence? The court won't change the verdict because of my insistence. It's just delaying with Zhang Liwei. In fact, it's meaningless. Although I thought so, I didn't want to disappoint Chang Xiaomei, so I said with a smile, "don't worry, I will stick to it to the end."

He didn't know whether Chang Xiaomei believed it. In short, the other end of the phone was silent. After a while, Chang Xiaomei asked slowly, "is it snowing outside?"

"Yes, it's snowy."

"There is a great English poet named Shelley. In his poem Ode to the west wind, he said that if winter comes, can spring be far behind?"

Xie Dong didn't know who Shelley was, and he had never read Ode to the west wind, but he had heard this sentence vaguely, and the meaning of it was basically clear. So he looked up at the snowflakes flying all over the sky and thought silently, yes, spring may not be far away

in the twinkling of an eye, it's next Tuesday, the day of the second court session.

After getting up, he specially cleaned up, shaved, changed into clean clothes, looked in the mirror and thought silently that today he had to rely on himself.

In the last trial, everything was arranged by Lawyer Wang. As early as a few days ago, Lawyer Wang called and mildly told him that due to the company's other arrangements, he could not go with him in this trial. It was expected that Wei Xia didn't even admit that he was related to his baby. How could he ask the company's legal adviser to help him in the lawsuit.

Anyway, I can't win. It doesn't make much difference whether there is a lawyer or not. Do your best, he thought. When it's done, rush back to the plain. It's more important to deal with Wei Xia. Compared with being a father, the win or lose of the lawsuit is of no importance.

If he is not afraid of the disappointment of the people who pay attention to him, he even wants to give up the trial and let the court decide. Anyway, everyone on earth knows that his opponent is Zhang Liwei. Even if he loses, there is no shame.

Qinglin was still very considerate. He got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast and made an appointment with Xiaojiang. They wanted to go to court together. He wanted to refuse, but later he heard that many colleagues in the Institute of traditional Chinese medicine had applied for an audience, so he had to agree.

At nine o'clock in the morning, when he walked into the court, there was a commotion in the gallery. Standing in the dock and looking around, I immediately found many familiar faces. In addition to the colleagues from the Research Institute of traditional Chinese medicine, Ding Miaomiao and Lao Zhou's wife also came. This was a bit unexpected. He was very relaxed and nervous.

Looking at the plaintiff's seat, sun Kexin seems to be a little fatter and looks much better than before. He must have had a very comfortable time. At least he doesn't have to hide all day in the rat hole. When two people's eyes meet, he smiles slightly, which makes sun Kexin a little at a loss.

Five minutes after nine o'clock, as the court clerk announced that the chief justice was in court, all stood up, and the trial officially began.

The procedure was almost the same, and soon entered the stage of court investigation. Sure enough, the first witness of the plaintiff appeared in court to testify.

This is a rural old man in his seventies. His skin is dark, thin and dry. Due to long-term work, he has a slight hunchback. He walked slowly to the witness seat. When he saw that there were so many listeners below, he seemed to be in a panic and could not help wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"Don't be nervous. Just be realistic." The lawyer for the plaintiff lost no time to comfort him.The old man nodded slightly, cleared his throat first, and then read out the testimony of the witness in a slightly trembling voice.

It turns out that the old man's name is sun zuozong, the elder brother of sun zuomin's family. Compared with the last court trial, the content of his testimony is much richer. According to his testimony, the sun family has been practicing medicine for nearly a thousand years, and the so-called ancestor is Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. It's just that it's too old to be verified. However, in the palace archives of the Qing Dynasty, we can still find evidence that the sun family acted as imperial doctors. He and sun zuomin's great grandfather were very famous Imperial doctors in the years of Xianfeng and Daoguang. He himself had studied medicine, but it had already been abandoned. There are two medical books handed down from generation to generation in the sun family. Because they are a big family, they have been kept by the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest.

Sun zuomin is the eldest son of Changfang. He had a brother, but he was not born a commoner. So these two books were handed to sun zuomin. In the 1970s, sun zuomin once lived in Huangling County for a period of time. He usually practised medicine and lived in his home in his spare time. So he was a brother of his own. So sun zuomin didn't shy away from these two books. He told him personally that these two books He always carries it with him and says that he has no children. In a hundred years, he will pass the book on to sun Kexin, the son of his half brother.

The judge asked, "did sun zuomin show you the two medical books at that time?"

The old man shook his head: "no, he just said to take it with him. I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

The chief judge then asked, "don't you also study medicine, haven't you ever thought about learning the above medical skills?"

The old man said with a bitter smile, "I once learned medical skills when I was young, but my family was in a state of decline and had been abandoned for a long time. In addition, I had been farming for many years and had no interest in medical skills."

At the end of the question, the presiding judge turned to Xie Dong and asked, "defendant, do you have any questions about the testimony provided by the plaintiff?"

He didn't want to say anything. He just listened to the chief judge's question and thought to himself that he was idle anyway. The master was always a mystery in his heart. Since the old man knew so much, he would ask him again. Then he thought for a moment and asked, "excuse me, witness, what did my master do in Huangling County? Where to practice medicine and what can be proved? "

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. He said slowly: "so you are Zuo min's Apprentice. When you look coldly, you really have something in you. His cleverness is that you look shabby."

Obviously, the old man didn't know the discipline of the court. When he said it casually, there was a burst of laughter in the gallery. Even the judge and the clerk couldn't help laughing. The chief judge quickly knocked on the mallet and said to sun zuozong in a loud voice: "old man, don't say anything irrelevant to the content of the trial, just answer the defendant's question directly."

The old man also knew that he had said something wrong. He bowed to the chief justice and then said, "Zuo min was practicing medicine in shilibixiang at that time. He had no specific place. He had excellent medical skills. He could even cure the diseases of animals, and he could also give acupuncture to pigs, horses, cattle and sheep! In our area, as long as they are a little old, they all know him. Not only these, but also he delivered six or seven children in our village. "

Xie Dong is tongue tied when he hears these things. Shifu never confided a word in front of him when he was alive. It's so interesting.

"At that time, we had a Taoist temple in the back of the mountain. There were some old Taoists living in it. As long as he was free, he would play chess and chat with Taoists. A chat would last all night. In our local area, almost everyone knows about it."

You Dao Guan He thought, no wonder master has lived in Huangling for such a long time. It must have something to do with cultivation. It seems that the old man's statement is basically true.

"Does that Taoist temple still exist?" He asked quickly.

"It was demolished a long time ago. Later, Lao Dao died, walked, the house collapsed, and now it's an orchard." The old man said with regret: "it's a pity that those old men are all good people..."

The chief judge saw that the more they talked, the less they could make sense, and quickly interrupted their conversation

"don't discuss things that have nothing to do with the case! Does the defendant have anything else to ask? " He asked gravely. Seeing Xie Dong shaking his head, he was about to announce the witness's exit. Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly said to Xie Dong, "if you are really Zuo min's apprentice, you can come to see us when you have a chance. Many people often talk about your master's kindness..."

Before he had finished speaking, the chief justice had signaled the bailiff to take the old man out quickly, so that the court would not become the Kang for them to chat. The bailiff forced himself to smile and invited the old man out.

"Boy, you must go when you have a chance." Before going out, the old man also called to Xie Dong.

There was another low laugh in the court, a little out of place with the solemn atmosphere.

The chief justice knocked down the gavel and announced in a loud voice: "next, let's invite the second witness to testify in court!"
