Chapter Twenty-Four Old Friends

  The old Wang's wine house, full of the aroma of wine, became extraordinarily lively because of Yao Xiantian's return. Her generous and bold demeanor made even Zhang Yi, a big shot, feel inferior to her.

  Made by the hunchbacked old man himself, a table of fragrant dishes was swept clean in the midst of several people clinking cups and drinking freely. Zhang Yi ate with relish, while Yin Yin's small belly became round and full.

  Stroking his whiskers with a smile on his face, Hao Yisheng no longer had the aura of a ruthless and cunning doctor, but looked like a kind old man.

  His eyes shone with a brilliant light:

  "Zhang Yi, that old geezer Shengshen recommended you to study at the Medical College of Jingnan University, which is a serious sign of having your brain kicked by a donkey. Stay here and learn the medical skills of living dead people's white bones with me, and learn ancient martial arts with Old Ghost. The two of us will definitely make you a legendary figure."

  The hunchbacked old man, whose real name was Yao Tianxiao, had a glimmer of sharpness in his eyes and nodded in agreement: "That's right, stay. The things that the Holy Spirit doesn't want to teach you, we two will teach you. The things he can't teach you, we'll also teach you. It won't take long, just two years. Within two years, we'll make you transform completely."

  Zhang Yi hesitated.

  He wants to go to university and further his studies at a higher educational institution.

  However!

  The purpose of going to school is to learn, improve one's level and increase one's medical strength.

  Stay!

  He believes he learned far more from it than from reading books!

  But what about Master's instructions?

  "Two seniors, I need to discuss this matter with my master," Zhang Yi said slowly after a silence of over ten seconds.

  Stroking the slightly bulging belly, eating to one's heart's content, and burping sweetly, Yao Xiantian glanced at Zhang Yi with a careless gaze, humming: "You little scamp, you can just keep on being arrogant... In this world, there are many people who want to follow in the footsteps of these two grandfathers. They would be willing to wipe away their tears and cry out for their fathers and mothers, hugging the legs of my two grandfathers and begging them to take them in. But you, with meat right in front of your mouth, after smelling it, still don't want to eat it directly. Truly, being unaware of one's blessings!"

  Zhang Yi secretly sighed in his heart.

  Poisonous tongue!

  I had only heard of this phrase before, but now I can say that I have personally experienced its power.

  The hunchbacked old man, Yao Tianxiao, nodded slowly and said: "Zhang Yi, dial your master's phone number, then hand me the phone. I'll talk to him."

  Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Elder Yao, I need to talk to my master first."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the private room.

  In the quiet courtyard of Fengcheng County countryside.

  Mo Wenfeng savored the fragrant tea and quietly flipped through a medical book.

  And beside him, on another chair, Zhang Pinchao's eyes were flashing with thought, the cigarette clamped between his fingers was almost burning to his fingertips.

  In the quiet atmosphere, Zhang Pinchao finally raised his head and looked at Mo Wenfeng, saying seriously: "Old Mo, I agree with your opinion, let's set off tomorrow!"

  Mo Wenhua put down the medical book, and a few smiles appeared on his old face. "It seems that you have figured it out. Zhang Yi has already gone to Jingnan City, and he will no longer know our whereabouts. For so many years, you have been hiding your illness from him, but now you can't hold on any longer. The two of us are in the same boat, and only by finding Baoweicao and Jinyin Ye can we both recover."

  Zhang Pin's expression changed, and he asked: "Old Mo, after all these years, you've never been willing to say how you were injured back then. How did you suddenly come here? Now, shouldn't you be able to tell me?"

  Mo Wenfeng's face turned cold, as if he had thought of something unpleasant from the past. He shook his head and said, "No way. Unless I find those two old guys, I will never tell anyone."

  The lazy atmosphere on his body disappeared without a trace, replaced by a strong killing intent. His body sat upright, muscles tense all over, and he muttered: "No matter whether they escaped that disaster in the past, the living must see people, the dead must see corpses."

  Zhang Pinchao didn't ask any further, in the twenty years they had been together, he knew Zhang Pinchao's temper, if he didn't want to say something, even if a knife was held to his throat, it would be impossible to get a single word out of him.

  "Ding ding ding......"

  The phone in the pocket of the clothes suddenly rang.

  Mo Wenfeng's eyebrows rose in surprise, and a hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes. Since there were only a few people who knew his phone number, at this time, who would be calling him?

  He took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID on the screen, and instantly the murderous aura on him dissipated, a smile reappeared on his aged face.

  "Hey, have you arrived in Jingnan City?"

  The phone rang, and Zhang Yi's voice came through:

  "Master, I haven't arrived in Jingnan City yet. I encountered some situation halfway and came to Guangming City Shibe Town. Here, I met two old men."

  Mo Wenhua was puzzled: "Who is this? You called me just to say that?"

  "Life-Taking Demon Doctor, Drunken Immortal."

  Mo Wenhua's body shook, his eyes widened in an instant, and he suddenly jumped up from the bench. His voice rose several pitches, almost shouting: "What did you say? Life-taking Devil Doctor? Drunken Immortal? Are you sure it's them?"

  "Master, I'm not sure if they told me these two names. The thing is, I originally... " He recounted the events of meeting Hao Shen Yi and the hunchbacked old man in detail, before finally asking: "Master, do you want to talk to them?"

  Mo Wenfeng hastily asked: "Wait a minute, what are their names?"

  "Just now when I was having dinner, I asked them already. One is called Hao Chengxiao and the other is called Yao Tianxiao."

  Mo Wenhua's body shook, and now he dared to confirm that the two were his lifelong brothers: "Quickly, let them answer the phone."

  "Good!"

  Back in the private room, Zhang Yi handed his mobile phone to Yao Tianxiao and said: "Senior Yao, my master wants to talk to you."

  Yao Tianxiao and Hao Shen Yi's faces both showed excitement.

  The two of them took their mobile phones and quickly left the private room.

  Zhang Yi didn't know what his master and the two of them were talking about, but when the two returned from outside, more than half an hour had passed.

  "Your master wants to talk to you."

  Yao Tianxiao handed his mobile phone to Zhang Yi, and on it was still displayed "calling".

  "Hey, Master."

  "Xiao Yi, you stay here and follow them to learn. Report to the Medical College of Jingnan University at the end of August."

  At this moment, Zhang Yi clearly understood that Yao Tianxiao and Hao Chengxiao were old friends of his master. A few happy colors appeared on his handsome face, and he said respectfully:

  "Master, I understand."

  He hung up the phone and was about to speak when a text message alert made him pause.

  Quickly open short messages:

  "Dear user, your mobile phone has been suspended due to overdue payment..."

  A wry smile floated on Zhang Yi's face as he quickly checked his phone bill, only to find that he owed over thirty yuan. He mentally cursed the roaming charges before turning to Hao Chengxiao and Jiu Zui Xian, saying respectfully: "Two seniors, I'm afraid I'll have to stay here and bother you two from now on."

  "Hao Cheng said with a loud laugh, "No bother. To think about it, we two old guys should thank you instead. If it wasn't for your accidental arrival here, we probably still wouldn't know whether that old guy Sheng Shen is alive or dead, and would have continued to worry about him."

  Yao Tianxiao sighed: "That's right, this fate is really wonderful!"

  Yao Tiantian turned her head to look at Zhang Yi and asked: "How long are you going to study here?"

  Zhang Yi said: "From now until the end of August, then go to Jingnan University Medical College for registration."

  Yao Tiantian rolled her eyes and said discontentedly, "So late! I was thinking that after my half-month vacation is over, I could go to Jingnan City with you. Those damn suitcases are too heavy."

  I'm not a porter!

  Zhang Yi secretly disapproved in his heart.

  Yao Tianxiao smiled slightly and said, "Tiantian, arrange a room in the backyard for Zhang Yi. From now on, they will live and eat here. Also, accompany them to buy some daily necessities tonight. There are still four or five months from now until the end of August!"

  Yao Tiantian was quite obedient this time, nodding and saying, "No problem."

  In the quiet courtyard of Fengcheng County countryside.

  With an excited face, Mo Wenfeng turned to Zhang Pinchao and smiled: "Go pack your things! Tomorrow morning we'll set off early, the sooner we resolve the hidden dangers on our bodies, the sooner I can meet those two old brothers."

  "Was it Xiao Yi who called you?" Zhang asked curiously.

  Mo Wenhua slapped his forehead and laughed: "That's right, it was this kid, he is simply my lucky star! By the way, on his way to Jingnan City, he encountered some special circumstances, so he arrived in Guangming City Shikou Town. As a result, he met those two old brothers who lost contact with me for twenty years. I asked Xiao Yi to stay there and follow them to learn for a few months before going to Jingnan City to study."

  "What special situation?" Zhang Pinchao asked hastily.

  Mo Wenhua smiled and said, "The traffic jam on the highway was caused by a car accident up ahead. Xiao Yi, that child with a kind heart, rushed over to help and saved a six or seven year old little girl. The little girl's mother, before she passed away, entrusted the little girl who had no other relatives to Xiao Yi. Forget it, let's not bother with that kid's business anymore. I now understand that he is a child with great destiny, let him develop on his own and he will definitely have a great future."

  Zhang Pinchao nodded slowly and said, "The children have their own blessings, I understand."

  Shibei Town, Guangming City.

  The warm sunshine shines all over the land, and the cool breeze brings a refreshing taste to people's hearts.

  Zhang Yi and Yao Tiantian walked hand in hand with Yin Yin, strolling down the spacious street, just like a happy family of three out for a walk.

  Yao Tian Tian, who changed into a police uniform, still looked very heroic.

  "Big brother, it's them. That damn woman was wearing a police uniform before, I asked around with the guys at the nearby police station, and there's no such person, she's an imposter. Beat that guy to disability, and let you have fun with the woman."

  The scar-faced man with a pig head, pointing at Zhang Yi and Yao Tiantian who were walking forward, shouted angrily.

  Beside him, apart from a man in his 40s, nearly twenty young men with clubs in their hands followed closely behind, striding forward with fierce eyes.
