In the middle of the night, the mystery of the "little ghost crying" in Longtan across from Fengshan Village was solved on the spot by Zhang Shaofei.

Village Chief Wang was relieved and put down the big stone in his heart that "his son was haunted by ghosts".

Zhang Shaofei was inspired by the giant salamander and thought: Why not use this method to treat the illness of Village Chief Wang’s son?

So, he said tentatively: "Village Chief Wang, I have a prescription that may be able to cure your son's disease."

Village Chief Wang asked in surprise: "A Fei, if you have any good prescriptions, please tell me!"

"Using bird's nest as the main medicine and Millet Spatholobus as the medicinal ingredient." Zhang Shaofei looked at Village Chief Wang and said seriously.

Village Chief Wang pondered: "Chicken Spatholobus... Where can I find Chicken Spatholobus?"

Zhang Shaofei raised his hand, pointed to the mountainside of Fengshan Mountain, and said: "Village Chief Wang, don't worry, I once went to the cliff over there to collect medicine, and I saw that there is Millet Spatholobus growing on that cliff."

Village Chief Wang looked up at the night sky and muttered: "It's still late at night..."

Zhang Shaofei asked: "Village Chief Wang, do you think this is a good idea? Tomorrow we will split up. I will go to the cliffs in the mountains to pick Millipeda vines, and you will send someone to Xinzhou County to buy bird's nests."

Village Chief Wang happily said: "Okay!"



Early the next morning, Zhang Shaofei had breakfast and said to Le Jinghui: "Uncle Ah Hui, I went up to the mountain today to collect chicken blood vines to treat Wang Jinfa's illness. I won't be back for dinner."

After hearing what Zhang Shaofei said, Le Zhihua hurriedly put down his bowls and chopsticks and said, "I'll go with you and visit Brother Afa by the way."

Zhang Shaofei saw that she was frightened at Village Chief Wang's house yesterday, and originally wanted to persuade her to rest at home, and planned to go with Le Zhicheng and Le Zhidan. Unexpectedly, Le Zhihua insisted on going as if he had changed into a different person, and arranged the work of Le Zhicheng and Le Zhidan in the tone of a big sister.

As the mother-in-law, Mo Ruomu, how could Shi Jinying, the mother, not know about Le Zhihua's return last night and his unusual behavior this morning? "A Fei, just ask my eldest sister to go with you." Shi Jinying said understandingly.

"Okay then." After Zhang Shaofei finished speaking, he carried the bamboo basket and went out with Le Zhihua.

The red sun sets in the west, and the sunset gives Tianlu Mountain a blood-red and blurred color.

Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua searched for most of the day in the mountains, and finally collected Millet Spatholobus, and walked in the afterglow of the setting sun to Village Chief Wang's home.

As soon as Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua entered the door, Village Chief Wang stretched his neck and asked: "A Fei, A Hua, have you picked the Millet Spatholobus?"

"I picked it." Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua said in unison. Zhang Shaofei took out the handful of Millet Spatholobus he had just picked from the bamboo basket carried by Le Zhihua and waved it in front of Village Chief Wang, "Look, Doesn’t the juice it exudes look like chicken blood?”

Le Zhihua put down the bamboo basket on his back and ran into the house to visit Wang Jinfa.

Against the backdrop of the afterglow of the setting sun, the bright red sap flowing out of the cut cane was very eye-catching.

"Village Chief Wang, this is a special medicine to treat your precious son!" Zhang Shaofei handed over the Millet Spatholobus and said with infinite treasure.

Village Chief Wang took the Millaplasma vine and caressed it lovingly. Two lines of tears fell from his old eyes.

Zhang Shaofei asked: "Village Chief Wang, have you gone to the county to buy bird's nests today?"

"No," Village Chief Wang shook his head in frustration, "I took people running around the county today until my legs almost broke, but I still couldn't buy bird's nests."

Early this morning, Village Chief Wang got up early and walked a hundred miles of mountain roads with his servants full of hope to Xinzhou County. They walked through the streets and alleys of Juncheng, looking for pharmacies of all sizes, but they couldn't buy anything. To the bird's nest.

Among them, Kang Yannian, the owner of Kangnian Pharmacy, and Village Chief Wang have known each other for many years. He told Village Chief Wang: "Old man, even in Guangzhou Pharmacy, a hundred miles away, there is no such thing as bird's nest. It's hard to find it. .”

Village Chief Wang said sadly: "Alas, although A Fei found me the medicine of Millet Spatholobus, but there is no bird's nest as the main medicine, my son's disease still cannot be cured!"

Seeing Village Chief Wang lamenting so much, Kang Yannian looked at him with concern and asked, "Why do you have to buy this rare bird's nest?"

When Village Chief Wang asked, he said: "His son Wang Jinfa suffered from a strange disease two years ago. A few days ago, I heard that a little miracle doctor A Fei had arrived in Lejiazhai, so he invited him to his home to treat my son. If I want to cure my son’s anemia, I need to use bird’s nest as the main medicine.”

After listening to Village Chief Wang's account, Kang Yannian felt pity.

Village Chief Wang sighed to the sky: "It seems that I did something that was harmful to nature in my previous life, and God wants me to be extinct."

Kang Yannian quickly comforted him: "Old man, there is no need to be so sad. There is always a solution to everything in the world. Let's all come up with a solution."



After dinner at Village Chief Wang's house, Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua left Fengshan Village and returned to Lejia Village.

After Zhang Shaofei greeted the people of the Le family politely, he did not chat with them in the hall as usual. He walked out of the hall in a muffled voice and sat on the wooden pier in the courtyard in a daze.

Le Zhihua is still angry with Zhang Shaofei. But after all, he was her and her mother's and third sister's benefactor. When she saw Zhang Shaofei walking out of the hall listlessly, she felt pity in her heart. She brought out a cup of hot tea and said, "Brother A Fei, don't worry about the bird's nest." I'm so upset, let's have some tea first."

Zhang Shaofei took the cup of hot tea, took a sip, looked at Le Zhihua blankly and said, "Ah... Huamei, I'm... fine."

"Did you feel tired after walking on the mountain road for a day?" Le Zhihua looked at him with concern and said.

"Yes, not only do I feel tired physically, but also mentally." Zhang Shaofei said sadly, "Hey, sister, when did you start caring about others..."

"I always care about you, okay?" Le Zhihua could tell there was something in his words.

When Zhang Shaofei saw that they were the only two people in the courtyard, he told her why she had been so cold to him and so enthusiastic to Wang Jinfa recently.

"Then let me ask you, why did you sit idly by when that dead horse bullied me that day?" When Le Zhihua asked, the anger that had subsided came back with a roar.

"I...at that time, when I saw you guys having so much fun, it reminded me of my son selling martial arts horses and horses on the street."

"Oh, does this become the reason why you don't save me?" Le Zhihua asked Zhang Shaofei again angrily.

"No, sister Ahua, you will punish me only after you listen to what I have to say, okay?" Zhang Shaofei looked at her aggrievedly and said.

"Then tell me." Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Le Zhihua's tone became much calmer, and his beautiful big black eyes looked at him filled with autumn water.

"Alas -" Zhang Shaofei lamented and told Le Zhihua the reason in a tearful voice:

It turned out that when Xiao Shaofei returned home from shopping that day, he found out that his father Zhang Jinchao had been accused by Taishi Zhang. The emperor believed the slander and dismissed his father from his official position as Minister of the Order and was sent back to his hometown. His grandmother died on the spot...

After returning to his hometown of Taizhen Village, Qiu County, Handan, with the help of his neighbors, Zhang Jinchao and his wife, Ren Shaoxiang, took care of their mother's affairs, and the couple worked hard to raise Xiao Shaofei.

After surviving day after day, month after month, and finally surviving two spring and autumn years, the couple finally relaxed when Xiao Shaofei was six years old and saw that Xiao Shaofei was strong and healthy. .

Zhang Jinchao was happy as he watched his son grow up.

However, being wronged, depressed, and long-term melancholy made him physically and mentally exhausted, plagued by various diseases, and gradually felt physically difficult to support.

Wang Shaoxiang hurriedly hired a doctor to treat him with medicine.
