Because Shou Jingfang was still prescribing medicine for those women, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not dare to talk to each other and just watched helplessly.

After Shou Jingfang finished writing, he handed the prescription to Lin Su and asked her to send several women to the front counter to get medicine. Then he stood up, poured water and washed his hands, and finally sat back down with the smell of soap. Only then did they have a real chance to talk to each other.

However, it was also surprising. Shou Jingfang immediately recognized Hong Yanwu's identity from him and Chen Liquan before he could speak.

"Are you the third eldest son of the Hong family?"

Hong Yanwu quickly called "cousin" and then asked, "How come you recognized me at a glance?"

"You look a lot like your uncle. Your mother was indeed right."

Hong Yanwu didn't know how to respond to these words, because he had never met his uncle. In the past, he had only occasionally heard his mother mention it a little bit. He probably still remembered that he was a piss-poor person who dared to play with the Lama Lama with a skull. .

So after nodding and perfunctoryly, he took out the five hundred yuan first, expressed that he wanted to return it, and said a lot of thanks to his mother.

Ke Shou Jingfang sighed, but refused to take it back.

"When I gave your mother the money, I had guessed that something like this would happen. If she hadn't been so devastated by the bad news at that time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have reached out to continue. I know she is a strong person, no matter how difficult it is, nothing will happen. I am willing to accept help. But we are not relatives, and we have been friends for several generations. Why are you being so polite to me? To put it bluntly, if you don’t bring money with you in life or death, I will live alone and lock it up. If you recognize me as your cousin, you have to listen to me and take the money back."

Shou Jingfang’s words are heart-warming. However, because of his mother's instructions, Hong Yanwu did not dare to make rash decisions.

"Cousin, the fifty yuan you left when you came home has actually solved our urgent need, and the whole family is grateful. But this amount of money is not a small amount, and you can't do it alone. You have to eat and drink. Besides, you still have two children who are suffering outside. How can we bear to accept it again? So when I came here today, my mother asked me to advise you to take this money back, please. You must not wrong yourself again just because you miss us..."

Unexpectedly, Shou Jingfang laughed when he heard this, and actually told a rather surprising situation.

"Your mother knows me well and knows that I can't make a living, so it's no wonder she worries about me. But to be honest, you don't have to worry about this. Just spend the money, because if you make up for it, you don't have to worry about it. This money is not a problem for me. Don't forget, I am a royal doctor after all. In such a big capital, I can just dig up some herbs and sell them to the pharmacy, like the Queen Mother of the West, who ordered them to be planted. I pick the "motherwort", "auspicious grass" and "nocturnal vine" in the wild forest of "Yuanmingyuan" on time every year. This money is more than enough for me to live a comfortable life, and so do my children. It’s not painful..."

I really didn’t expect Shou Jingfang to have such a way to get money from outside. Hong Yanwu was stunned when he heard this. But while he was secretly surprised and admired, Shou Jingfang later mentioned "defeat the tiger and the dragon".

"...Oh, but it's really my fault that I have no economic sense. Otherwise, if I had saved all the money for collecting herbs, it would have been enough to buy "Zuohulong"..."

In this way, Hong Yanwu no longer wanted to argue about money. Because his father's illness was the focus of his visit today, he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity in front of him and ask questions first.

"Cousin, can you tell me, what exactly is this 'Zuhulong'?"

Hong Yanwu's attitude was very urgent and he leaned forward suddenly. This sudden movement startled Shou Jingfang. However, he understood it quite well, and then told everything he knew to clear up Hong Yanwu's doubts.

The word "Frustration Tiger Dragon" is actually another name for cherished marine fish.

It is said that this thing was transformed from the sinful dragon in the sky, so it grows near Snake Island in Liaodong, in a body of water with a great temperature difference between cold and warm, so that it can suffer from the cold and ice.

Of course, in this environment, this thing grows extremely slowly, growing at most one inch a year, and it takes about a hundred years to grow from a juvenile to an adult.

However, precisely because of the particularity of this growth environment and way, this kind of marine fish is naturally capable of regulating yin and yang, resolving toxins and eliminating siltation. It is a rare treasure for treating malignant sores, tumors, and liver and kidney diseases.

In the Qing Dynasty, in fact, "Shuhulong" had always been items other than "Haidongqing" and "Sturgeon" that Heilongjiang generals had to pay regular tribute to the court. For this reason, the Liaodong Garrison sends several hunting teams every year to stay on Snake Island to look for fish day and night.

After telling this, Shou Jingfang shook his head and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

"That is indeed a divine thing. It dries out on its own and does not rot or rot. As long as you have it, your father's illness can be cured. It is really a pity that the only medicine introduction that can be found is given by others. I bought it... Having said that, I have been treating difficult and complicated diseases all my life. This disease is nothing. If I had gone to your house earlier, I wouldn't have been delayed... It's all my fault. It's just for those things back then. The thing is...your father and I grew up together, and our friendship is no less than that of real brothers..."

Hong Yanwu heard his mother talk about some of the situation back then. Seeing that Shou Jingfang showed his true feelings at this time, he felt very sad, so he took the initiative to offer words of comfort.

"Cousin, all of this is caused by special historical reasons and is not your fault. In fact, it is thanks to you that my father's illness can be maintained until now. Besides, now that it is like this, there is no point in being sad. In the end, The key question is whether we can find this medicine elsewhere, for example, if we go to the place of origin, Snake Island, Liaodong..."

"It's a good idea, but it's not easy..."

Faced with Hong Yanwu's question, Shou Jingfang sighed deeply, and then told him how difficult it was to capture the "Frustration Tiger Dragon".

It turns out that this kind of fish is not only extremely rare in number, but also only appears in shallow seas in late autumn and cold winter. Moreover, it has an extremely ferocious temperament, its body is covered with scales like blades, and its swimming speed is astonishingly fast. If an ordinary fisherman encounters one, let alone manages to capture it, it may not be too late to escape. Often the boat they are on will be crashed by it, and once a person falls into the sea, he will be "cut to pieces by a thousand cuts" and buried in the belly of a fish.

Therefore, capturing the "Frustration Tiger Dragon" became the most difficult task for all the Heilongjiang generals in the Qing Dynasty. The correct way to catch the fish is to first send large ships to find the fish in time after autumn, and then send many soldiers to the sea with iron nets, and work together to contain them in the bone-chilling water to have a chance.

So in the past, Liaodong Bannermen suffered a lot of losses every year. It was not until the Jiaqing Dynasty in the middle of the Qing Dynasty that the royal family was considerate and completely waived this tribute, and the soldiers under the command of the Heilongjiang general were relieved from this kind of hard labor.

It’s just that from then on, the imperial pharmacy became less and less popular. Later, when Cixi came to power, even the Forbidden City completely disappeared from this object. If it were not for the temporary fishing, it would be too late, and the people could not find it everywhere, then Emperor Tongzhi would not have died unexpectedly due to the "big bayberry sore"...

Hearing this, Hong Yanwu finally understood that this "Frustration Tiger Dragon" was indeed a rare life-saving treasure that only cost a person's life to obtain by chance. Since it is difficult for private fishermen to catch it, they may not be able to find it even in the place of origin.

However, no matter what, there is still such a thing in the world, and it is also a glimmer of hope. If he didn't try his luck, he would really feel uneasy.

So he thought about it and quickly made a decision.

"Cousin, now that I have sold the one I have, what else can I do? Seriously, as a human son, I can't let my father die behind closed doors purely relying on luck, right? It must be I have to take the initiative to do something, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating. So I have to go to Snake Island. I don't believe that people can die from urination. I always feel that the chance is better here than here. Besides, if that doesn't work, I can still try to catch him. This is the age of machines after all. If I'm lucky, I might be able to catch him. But what I'm worried about is my father's health. How long can I last? Can you give me an accurate answer?"

Shou Jingfang was quite surprised when he heard these words. He seemed not to have expected Hong Yanwu to say that. But he was really touched by Hong Yanwu's determination, after taking a deep look at Hong Yanwu. He also looked straight and informed without any secret.

"Two years, I guarantee that your father can live for at least two years! And as long as you can find the 'Zuhulong' during this period, I can cure your father!"
