As soon as Zhang Xiaofan left, Zhao Yan walked out of the room.

"Dad, since Third Sister is not here, let me complete the engagement with Zhang Xiaofan on her behalf, right? In this way, our Zhao family will naturally be tied to Gu Gu."

Zhao Anguo glanced at Zhao Yan with a gloomy expression: "Nonsense, what if Qing'er comes back?"

Zhao Yan lowered her head and remained silent, but there was a look of unwillingness in her eyes.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaofan returned to Qinghe County and suddenly received a call from Dr. Feng.

"Xiaofan, I remember that you were interested in books about ancient Chinese medicine before, right? I happened to go to an old classmate's house yesterday and saw a few books at his place. If you are interested, I can take you

Go and have a look.”

Dr. Feng's call surprised Zhang Xiaofan, who reminded him of the dilapidated ancient book he had borrowed from Dr. Feng.

The broken fragments found in that ancient book have always been in Zhang Xiaofan's hands, but he still hasn't been able to figure out what those fragments are for.

After making an appointment with Dr. Feng on the phone, Zhang Xiaofan took a taxi and rushed to the appointed place.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaofan and Dr. Feng came to the home of an old classmate that Dr. Feng mentioned.

On the way, Dr. Feng told Zhang Xiaofan in detail about his old classmate.

The man's surname was Jin, and everyone called him Lao Jin. He was originally the director of the medical office of a certain military region, but he was seriously injured in a special operation and had to retire early.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Jin's temper has become more and more violent in recent years, so Dr. Feng kept telling Zhang Xiaofan along the way that when he met Lao Jin later, he must behave more humbly and never offend Lao Jin.

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head indifferently and thought to himself: Humility? If he respects me, I will respect him; otherwise, what do I have to fear?

After about an hour's drive, Dr. Feng took Zhang Xiaofan to a relatively remote mountainous area.

There are no villages here, and everything is desolate; but in this desolation, there is a small courtyard made of bluestone and red tiles.

Doctor Feng pointed to the small round house and said: "That is Lao Jin's home. Due to his bad temper in recent years, he is now the only one left in the yard."

Zhang Xiaofan frowned and asked in confusion: "Where is his family?"

"Alas! His wife committed suicide by jumping into a river three years ago because she couldn't bear his temper. Since then, his son has basically never come back."

Dr. Feng's words made Zhang Xiaofan even more confused. Since Lao Jin has difficulty moving and he is the only one at home, who will take care of him on weekdays?

"I know what you are thinking. Lao Jin's son knew that he had difficulty moving, but he did not have enough time to be by his side, so he hired a nanny for him."

As the two of them talked, they came to the door of the small courtyard; Dr. Feng reached out and knocked on the door a few times.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with ordinary clothes and a haggard face opened the door.

"Sister Zhou, let me see Lao Jin."

Dr. Feng greeted the middle-aged woman and led Zhang Xiaofan into the courtyard.

The courtyard is very simple. There is nothing else except a stone table and four wooden benches in the middle of the courtyard.

Entering the room, Dr. Feng smiled and shouted: "Lao Jin..."

"Lao Feng is here?"

As a powerful voice sounded, a middle-aged man in his fifties came out of the side room in a wheelchair.

Although the man had a smile on his face, his whole body exuded a repulsive aura.

"Lao Jin, this is the Xiaofan I mentioned to you last time. He is very interested in ancient Chinese medicine and would like to borrow some of your books."

Lao Jin looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down and twitched his lips slightly: "Hmph, this young man is really ambitious now. I think he only went to school for a few years? How many words can he know? He actually wants to study the words left by his ancestors.

thing."

The words were full of sarcasm. If it weren't for Dr. Feng's previous advice, Zhang Xiaofan would have scolded him long ago.

Dr. Feng smiled awkwardly: "Old Jin, you can't say that; as the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. This kid Xiaofan still has very high attainments in ancient Chinese medicine."

Doctor Feng's words immediately made Lao Jin sneer: "Haha, that's right; after Lu Bu's death, everyone feels that they are invincible. Young people are right to be ambitious, but it's not so good to aim too high."

Lao Jin repeatedly made fun of him, which made Dr. Feng look ugly; after all, he was the one who brought Zhang Xiaofan here today.

If Lao Jin keeps ridiculing Zhang Xiaofan, he is clearly not giving him face.

"Lao Jin, let's not talk about this today. Since this little brother is interested in your books, you can lend them to him for a few days."

"Old Feng, I have to give you your face; after all, we are classmates, but you know that my few books are treasures. If something goes wrong..."

Dr. Feng's face froze, and it was not difficult to tell from Lao Jin's words that he clearly did not want to borrow it, and the reason was explicit, that is, they were too poor to borrow his book.

For a moment, Dr. Feng didn't know what to say, so he could only look at Zhang Xiaofan awkwardly.

Zhang Xiaofan curled his lips and smiled: "Mistakes? I, Zhang Xiaofan, have never seen what mishaps are when I work. I don't know what you mean by mishaps?"

As soon as these words came out, Lao Jin and Dr. Feng's expressions suddenly froze; Dr. Feng did not expect that Zhang Xiaofan would say such a sentence to Lao Jin in such a tone.

According to Lao Jin's current temper, after hearing this, let alone borrowing books today, I'm afraid he won't even be able to drink tea.

"Hey, Lao Feng, this friend of yours is really upset. He actually said he has never seen anything. What is a mistake?"

Lao Jin's face was gloomy and his voice was cold, which made Dr. Feng feel a little uncomfortable.

"Young people are not sensible. Lao Jin, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Dr. Feng quickly said nice things. After all, it was not worth making Lao Jin angry just because of a word.

Then he looked at Zhang Xiaofan and whispered: "Xiaofan, Lao Jin's temper is like this, please stop saying a few words."

"Oh? I can really cure his temper, including his leg that has been disabled for several years. I can also cure it; and it still can't break the record that I have never seen him lose his temper."

Humph, is he crazy? I'm even crazier; and I, Zhang Xiaofan, am still capable and capable of being crazy; what do you think? I'll piss you off like this.

"Hmph, you are really a terrible person. I think you are like a heifer taking a plane - Cow 13 went to the sky. Well, since you said you can cure my legs, right? I will give you this opportunity, but I will say something ugly in front of you.

, if you can’t be cured, I will ask someone to keep one of your legs.”

"Lao Jin, calm down..."

"Doctor Feng, today I, Zhang Xiaofan, insisted on curing his violent temper."
