Chapter 81 Father-Son Relationship, Zhang Fan's Past
In the evening, the summer breeze seems a little hot.

South of the city, No. 368 Guaizi Hutong.

As an old city, it still retains the architectural style of low walls of residential quarters, and neighborhood children chase and play in the narrow alleys.

Zhang Fan found his way here according to the address provided by Jiang Hu. The further he went inside, the more images flashed through his mind.

He knew that he had definitely been there.

"No. 368...come here..."

Zhang Fan came to a small courtyard. There were mottled patterns on the old wooden door, and traditional peach charms were pasted on it. The copper ring held by the lion head hit the wooden door, making a "dong dong" sound.

"no one?"

Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he knocked twice more.

"Who?"

At this moment, the door opened, leaving only a crack. Through the crack, Zhang Fan saw a beautiful woman standing behind the door. She had waist-length hair braided into a pigtail. Her beautiful eyes were as clear as autumn water. She wore loose short sleeves, revealing her white and slender arms.

"I'm looking for Mr. Ming..." Zhang Fan said through the crack in the door.

"My grandfather is not at home." The girl said as she was about to close the door.

"How can I contact him?"

At this moment, Zhang Fan hurriedly blocked the door that was about to close and spoke quickly.

"What are you doing?" The girl frowned and stared at Zhang Fan vigilantly.

"Um... I have no ill intentions... I just want to ask Mr. Ming something... I seem to have come here to see a doctor when I was a child, but I can't remember it..." Zhang Fan didn't know how to explain.

"Your...last name is Zhang!?" the girl suddenly asked.

"How do you know?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

"Zhang Fan!?" The girl said shockingly, she actually called out his name directly.

"Um!?"

Zhang Fan's eyes widened as he looked up and down at the girl in front of him through the crack in the door.

"You really came."

The girl showed a look of understanding, but opened the door and let Zhang Fan in.

"We've met before? Do you know me?" Zhang Fan looked at the girl suspiciously.

"My name is Ming Yunxia, ​​don't you remember me?"

"Huh!?" Zhang Fan frowned, looking puzzled.

"When you were twelve years old, your father brought you to my house for medical treatment..." Ming Yunxia said.

"Twelve years old... twelve years old..." Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully.

That year, he experienced the biggest change in his life. His mother died in a car accident. He was greatly shocked and suffered from traumatic selective amnesia...

Zhang Fan remembered that Zhang Lingzong took him to many large hospitals at the beginning...

Later, I did take him to see an old Chinese doctor...

"It's here." Zhang Fan seemed to remember something.

"You are not the same as when you were a child... You were a little fierce and didn't like to talk. I took you out to play, but you ignored me." Ming Yunxia said.

"I seem to have some impression... You are Sister Yun Xia..."

Zhang Fan vaguely remembered that his emotions were extremely unstable and even a little aggressive back then. In this yard, it seemed that there was a young lady who was always playing with him.

Every time he came to see the doctor, the young lady was by his side.

"come in."

As she spoke, Ming Yunxia led Zhang Fan into the inner hall. A strong medicinal aroma filled the entire hall. A human meridian map was hung on the wall, and various medical instruments and instruments were placed on the surrounding shelves. "Sister Yunxia, ​​where is Mr. Ming?"

Zhang Fan walked to the corner of the wall, looked at a strange picture on it, and asked casually.

"He went to southern Yunnan to look for medicine."

As he spoke, Ming Yunxia walked to Zhang Fan and pointed at the painting on the wall. The painting showed a milky white mushroom rooted in yellow soil, but it had a human face.

"Is this medicine?"

"This is called beauty mushroom." Ming Yunxia introduced.

Since ancient times, there have been many taboos in repairing bridges and roads, because it involves breaking ground and water, which will change the direction of the dragon veins and disturb the earth's energy.

It is said that in ancient times, when a road was being built along the southern border of Yunnan, some mountain people dug up a human face halfway up a mountain.

The face was flesh-colored with a slight pale hue, and had eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Its eyes were tightly closed, as if it had grown into the rock wall. Its mouth kept moving, and from time to time it made a sound like muffled thunder, which was very scary.

The mountain people were all terrified at the time. Some said that they had accidentally dug up the mountain god’s palace when they broke the ground, and that the human face was the mountain ghost guarding the palace.

Some people also say that this human face is the transformed soul of someone who died unjustly in the mountains, and if the eyes are opened, the soul will be taken away by it.

In short, there are various versions of the story. Finally, an old man took the lead, reburied the mountain path, and suppressed it with large stones. Since then, no one has ever seen that thing again.

Many years later, a wandering Taoist priest passed by this place and heard the rumor. He sighed secretly that it was a pity and said that the human face was called "Beauty Mushroom", which was a kind of miraculous medicine. It was said that its roots penetrated into the underworld. If someone took a tear from the human face and drank it, they would be able to communicate with ghosts and gods and live to be over a hundred years old. As for other uses, the Taoist priest kept silent about it. Later, he lived directly in the mountain and built a temple. He lived until he was 123 years old before he died.

"There is actually such a medicine?" Zhang Fan exclaimed in amazement.

However, he now knows that Ming Chengjun is not an old Chinese doctor in the ordinary sense. He is a Taoist doctor and was born in the Yinshan School. Needless to say, his methods are naturally extraordinary and even his collection of medicines are extraordinary and quite effective.

"Grandpa has been looking for this medicine for most of his life... Every summer, he would go to southern Yunnan." Ming Yunxia said in a serious tone.

"Are you getting along better with your dad?"

At this moment, Ming Yunxia suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

"I remember when you were a kid... you had a very bad relationship with your father... you two would often fight in my house."

"Ah!? I fought with my dad? At the age of twelve?" Zhang Fan showed an incredible look.

In his impression, he was very respectful to Zhang Lingzong and didn't even dare to speak loudly. As for swearing... he even felt that Zhang Lingzong thought he couldn't swear.

Do it? Are you kidding!?
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"No...but every time you listen to the heart's stethoscope in the inner hall, I can hear it. It's very scary..." A look of reminiscence appeared in Ming Yunxia's eyes.

"I thought at the time that if I were your father, I would strangle such a rebellious son to death."

"what!?"

Zhang Fan showed an incredible look and felt like he was listening to someone else's story.

"correct……"

At this moment, Ming Yunxia suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Is your father's illness cured?"

"My father's illness?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

"Yes, every time your father brings you here, it is of course to see a doctor." Ming Yunxia whispered.

"Wait a minute...aren't I the one who's treating the patient?"

"No..." Ming Yunxia shook her head: "My grandfather said...your father is sick...he has a serious illness..."

"But he also said..."

"What did you say!?" Zhang Fan asked.

"He said...you are his disease." Ming Yunxia's expression became strange.
