59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Chapter 364 Zhang Haixing's Transaction with the Old Man

Chen Feng dug up some soil in the space and found insect eggs, which soon gave rise to small insects.

Chen Feng cleaned up most of it from time to time, and deliberately left a small part as snacks for ducks, pheasants, small fish, etc. At the same time, he also created a situation where a small part of the grain was slightly defective but would not form pests and threaten his food harvest.

It’s just that Chen Li is unlucky.

I just happened to get a pest-infested fruit with the probability of winning the lottery.

The old man made all the arrangements and came back.

When I saw the teapot on the dining table, I immediately prepared to pour a cup to moisten my throat. But after half a day, I found that there was not a drop left, so I opened the teapot and took a look.

Wow, he even finished the tea leaves.

"Silly Zhu, why do you eat the tea leaves when you drink tea?"

Sha Zhu was cooking and said cheerfully, "Old man, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but lunatics have plenty of ways to get good tea leaves. You've been brewing tea leaves over and over again, but they have no taste. Why bother? You might as well let me eat them to replenish my energy."

The old man picked up the copper teapot and prepared to smash it.

But when I remembered that this was an antique from the Ming Dynasty, I couldn't bear to throw it away.

"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng!"

Chen Feng came out of the study and asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"

"Before dinner, practice with Sha Zhu first. Grandpa wants to see if this idiot has improved. Try harder!"

The old man emphasized the latter part of his speech.

Chen Feng understood immediately.

"No problem, Grandpa. I will make sure the pillar's muscles and bones are revitalized."

Chen Li, Chen Hao, Hu Bayi and others also came out of the study. Chen Li and Huo Ling ran forward and presented their loquats to the old man.

"Grandpa, eat!"

"No, Grandpa, no need, just eat. You're so good!" The old man felt better when he saw the two little girls were so well-behaved.

It's strange that Huo Ling is afraid of the old lady who is related to the Huo family by blood, but instead likes the old man who is usually serious.

Later, Chen Feng found out that this was related to Huo Xiangu and his wife.

Although Xiangu Huo married a high-ranking official, she was still the head of the family and concurrently served as the head of the Huo family.

Huo Ling is afraid of her biological mother and is closer to her biological father, who is busy with work but always makes time to accompany his daughter.

Her father is very similar to the old man, not only in appearance, but also in his mental temperament.

"Grandpa, Hai Xing and I took a look at it. We don't know much about medical treatment, but we think your book is enough. If it is printed in the countryside, it can save countless people."

Ran Qiuye came out with the first draft and looked at the old man with admiration.

Even Zhang Haixiong had to admit that when it came to long-term vision, the old man was more sophisticated.

The Zhang family now relies on Zhang Qishan and has a very high status within the official system.

But it depends on people.

If anything happens to Zhang Qishan, the huge force they have built up will instantly lose support, or even be swallowed up.

It’s different for the old man. Even if he is gone, relying on the infinite merits accumulated by this book, as long as one percent of those whose lives were saved by the medical book still remember the kindness, the flag of the Chen family will not fall.

"That's good, that's good." The old man was in a cheerful mood and was not bound by power and wealth. It was inevitable that he felt a little complacent at this moment.

No one is saint, it's okay to be a little vain!

"Grandpa, when will you take it up?" Zhang Haixiong asked.

The old man sighed and said, "I wanted to add more, but now that I see Jia Dongxu has been poisoned, and I think of the countless people in other places facing the same danger, I won't delay it. I will go find my old comrades tomorrow."

"As for the subsequent supplements, let the higher-ups organize military doctors to complete them. The sooner they are published, the sooner they can help those in need."

Zhang Haixiong thought of something and pulled the old man's sleeve to the study.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Chen Feng wanted to stop him.

The old man waved his hands to indicate that everything was fine.

"Little Tiger."

Hearing this name, the old man immediately became alert and said, "Zhang Haixing, my Chen family doesn't owe you any favors, so don't try to take advantage of me."

"Xiao Hu, do me another small favor." Zhang Haixing played the emotional card and said, "When you guys from Changsheng Mountain clashed with the Nine Gates, if I hadn't held back, you would have been dead."

The old man had a dark face.

"Could you please not mention this?"

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Changshengshan and Jiumen are two groups of local tomb robbers in Hunan. When the latter was just established, there was a natural conflict of interest between them and Changshengshan, and they were suppressed by Changshengshan.

Zhang Qishan did not hesitate to use those members of the Zhang family who still adhered to the traditional mission, demonstrated his strength to Chang Shengshan, and won Chang Shengshan's respect.

The old man was one of the unlucky guys who was captured alive by Zhang Haike, Zhang Haixing and others.

"So, you have to help me with this little favor." Zhang Haixing chuckled, "Add an editor's name to the book. You even added Chen Feng, so why not add a deputy editor."

The editor of this medical book naturally bears the old man’s name. Chen Feng is too young to be suitable for this role, but he is placed in the second column as the responsible editor.

The old man was not easy to fool, he opened his mouth wide and said: "Okay, I want your Zhang family's two-finger cave exploration secret technique."

"That's impossible!" Zhang Haixiong immediately refused.

The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, you see, the main branch of your Zhang family has now withdrawn from the country and gone to the Snow Mountain to live a good life. How many people are willing to soak in secret medicine and practice the secret technique of double-finger cave exploration from a young age?"

Zhang Haixing shook his head and said, "This secret technique won't work. Even if the main sect retires, we branches will continue to carry on. But you, your Changsheng Mountain is gone, why do you still like to collect things from other sects?"

The old man sighed and said, "You have to give yourself a reason to live."

"Changsheng Mountain is gone, but our Chen family is still here."

"My eldest brother used to like collecting all these mystical arts, treasures, and weapons. Later, I retired and had nothing to do at home. I had no choice but to tinker with these little gadgets to find something to do."

Zhang Haixing glanced at him and felt that he was a bit like her stubborn elder brother.

She herself actually yearns for a life of retreat from society and no longer caring about the family mission. However, the elders of their overseas Zhang Hai branch, unlike the main branch that gave up their goals, still choose to stick to their mission and obey the orders of Zhang Qishan, the son of the Zhang family's previous patriarch.

Her brother Zhang Haike is the representative of the younger generation who perseveres.

Since her elder brother doesn't retire, she naturally can't retire either.

"I have a special long sword that I found in an ancient tomb of the Zhang family. It should have been made by our ancestors using meteorite iron. It is tough and sharp, and is not inferior to the small magic sword that the ancestor of the Zhang family gave to the Chen family."

"How about it, do you want it?"

"Yes!" The old man agreed instantly.

Xiang Ling has armor, not only because Xiang Ling has a special set of grass armor secrets, but also because the Chen family has a set of armor that cannot be penetrated by swords and knives.

In the era of cold weapons, the head of the Chen family relied on the small magic sword and soft armor, plus his own powerful kung fu, to subdue the bandits.

But the little striker is small after all.

The long sword is undoubtedly more suitable for fighting in open areas.
