Chapter 115: It’s Just Ordinary Wine! Such Sincere Goodwill!
(Why does a sore throat spread to toothache~~~)
……
Chen Jun saw the smug look on Chen Dalong’s face and could tell he knew the reason, so he immediately asked without shame, “Dalong, if you know then say it, stop keeping us in suspense.”
Chen Dalong at once began speaking in a mysterious tone, “The Chen Family Head discovered that the energy of the family underground Feng Shui formation is overflowing here, so he plans to plant peach trees to seal this energy. Maybe planting things here in the future will bring unexpected surprises.”
He parroted what he had just heard, word for word.
After that, he added on his own, “These marked locations are where the Feng Shui Array energy is overflowing. Your mobile phones must have been affected by the overflowing energy when you got close.”
These words suddenly made Chen Jun and the others see the light.
So that was it.
It was the Feng Shui Array’s energy overflowing.
This also aroused their curiosity. What would happen after they planted peach trees at all the locations marked by the Patriarch?
Thinking this, one by one, driven by curiosity, they were full of motivation as they started planting those peach trees.
…
When Chen Han returned to Uncle’s Kitchen, the medicinal fragrance was already overflowing. The soup in the stew pot had begun to reduce, so he immediately boiled water and added it in.
As he put the lid back on the stew pot, he suddenly received a call from Director Chen.
He answered, and the anxious question came through, “Chen Family Head, how is that Bone Wine you mentioned last time? The child relapsed again today…”
Hearing the anxiety in his voice, Chen Han remembered this matter. The Bone Wine was indeed ready, so he said, “Director Chen, bring the child over.”
“Good… good, thank you, Chen Family Head.” Chen Kai’s excited thanks also came from the mobile phone.
After hanging up, Chen Han went to his own courtyard, entered the room where the Bone Wine was stored, directly put that jar of Bone Wine into the Warehouse, and then checked the Remark Information:
【Dog Demon Bone Wine: this is Bone Wine soaked, in a set ratio, with a section of vertebra from a Dog Demon. It has special effects: treat rheumatism and paralysis +2, treat waist and leg pain +2, treat numbness of limbs +2!】
It had indeed succeeded.
He took the Bone Wine out of the Warehouse and poured a small bottle.
At the same time, at the County Culture and Tourism Bureau.
Chen Kai had been in the Office discussing the Chen Clan’s matters with Ma Qi. When he heard that his son had been admitted to the hospital again, he almost immediately called the Chen Family Head for help.
Now that he had received the news, he rushed out of the Office.
Ma Qi naturally knew the situation of Director Chen’s child. The boy had been a premature baby, then after a fall his body developed problems: numbness in all four limbs, no strength; even the Provincial Hospital had tried several times without any method.
Everyone had seen this child. He was very smart and sensible, much more worry-free than his own son. After this happened, everyone was actually very concerned.
Just now Director Chen had called the Chen Family Head. It seemed that this Chen Family Head could treat this limb numbness?
Thinking of this, he followed out of curiosity, “Director Chen, I happen to need to go to the Chen Clan to film some promotion material. I’ll drive you.”
In fact, he was also thinking of his own wife and son.
Mother and child had gone to the City Hospital accompanied by his parents. Last night at the City Hospital, the doctor had also recommended surgery; they had gone into the operating room and cut again.
He did not know how things were now.
Chen Kai soon arrived at a ward in the County Hospital and saw his wife watching over the child. “How is it?”
His wife’s eyes were red as she said dejectedly, “The doctor says this time it’s a bit serious. The muscles in all four limbs are somewhat atrophied. They suggest transferring to the City Hospital or Provincial Hospital.”
“Dad!” the child on the bed called weakly. He seemed to already know his condition and looked very well-behaved.
Seeing this, Ma Qi thought of his own damned kid, who apart from being naughty and making trouble only knew how to cry.
“Let’s take the child to a place first!” Chen Kai did not hesitate, immediately picked up the child and walked out.
Seeing this, his wife guessed what was going on. Her husband had told her that the Chen Family Head might have a method. She had only listened casually before, and when her husband did not mention it again, she did not think more of it.
At the Parking Lot, Ma Qi took the driver’s seat and drove Chen Kai’s family straight to the Chen Clan.
Along the way, Chen Kai and his wife were very nervous.
After all, most parents love their children.
They soon arrived at the Chen Clan Parking Lot. Ma Qi was suddenly drawn to a super luxury car that stopped at the same time. That kind of car was almost never seen in Youcheng.
Had such a tycoon already been attracted to the Chen Clan?
However, this was a good thing.
At this moment, from that luxury car, Zheng Yu from the front passenger seat got out and respectfully opened the door for the Big Boss. “President Wang, we have arrived at the Chen Clan.”
The first thing Wang Xinhe did after getting out was look at the Chen Clan’s ancient architectural complex. He had to admit he was impressed. From the architectural style and this antique charm, it proved that the Chen Clan definitely had a long inheritance.
Then, Wang Xinhe saw another car that had stopped at the same time. The driver hurriedly got out to open the door. “Director Chen, be careful, don’t bump the child’s head!”
Chen Kai got out holding the child and immediately took out his mobile phone to call the Chen Family Head. As soon as it connected, he said, “Chen Family Head, I have brought the child. Where are you now?… the Tourist Service Center reception room, right? Okay… okay, I’ll be right there.”
Hanging up, he hurriedly carried the child toward the Chen Clan.
Surprised, Wang Xinhe watched this scene. From those simple words, he could hear a lot of information, and combined with the case information of Zheng Yu’s daughter that he had ordered people to investigate, he subconsciously looked into the Chen Clan.
“President Wang, I will first take you to complete the check-in procedures!” Zheng Yu quickly greeted and led him into the Chen Clan.
…
Tourist Service Center reception room.
Chen Han was already waiting there, brewing a pot of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea while waiting for Director Chen.
Just as the pot finished brewing, Chen Kai arrived. As they entered, his wife took the child in her arms, while he stepped forward to greet, “Chen Family Head!”
“Director Chen, sit.” Chen Han invited the three to sit and poured each of them a cup of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
At the same time, he looked at the child and saw that both hands hung weakly, clearly unable to exert strength, and even the skin on his arms showed an unhealthy color.
Chen Kai was in no mood to drink tea. As soon as he sat down, he pleaded, “Chen Family Head, the Provincial Affiliated Hospital cannot do anything about my child’s symptom. Today, the doctor also said there are signs of muscle atrophy. I hope Chen Family Head can help treat my child.”
Hearing this, Chen Han instead picked up his Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, drank a cup, then smiled and said, “Director Chen, if even the hospital cannot treat this disease, how can a country bumpkin like me treat it? You must trust the hospital and trust science!”
“???” Director Chen was obviously stunned. Was this not what you yourself said before, Chen Family Head?
Ma Qi could not help but feel emotion. This Chen Family Head was at it again. Really, the last person who should be saying ‘believe in science’ was telling you to believe in science. Every time it gave people a sense that the world was absurd.
At this moment, Chen Han took out the small bottle of Bone Wine, smiled, and said, “Director Chen, let the child drink a cup of our Chen Clan’s special Bone Wine.”
As he spoke, he had already poured a cup and handed it over.
Chen Kai froze for a moment but had no misgivings about this wine. He immediately picked it up and fed it to the child.
Right now, the child’s limbs were numb and he had no strength at all.
“Dad, it’s so strong!” The child had clearly never drunk alcohol. In a short while, his face turned bright red.
This made Chen Kai, his wife, and Ma Qi all keep a close eye on the child’s condition.
Before long, they heard the child say, “Dad, Mom, my hands and feet feel warm and cozy, it’s very comfortable.”
These words astonished Chen Kai and the others. They knew this had to be related to that cup of wine from the Chen Family Head. Otherwise how could it change right after drinking?
Chen Han shifted the topic and asked Ma Qi, “Section Chief Ma, how is the dedicated bus route matter going?”
Ma Qi immediately replied, “Chen Family Head, the document has already been approved. There will be a dedicated bus route for the National Style Event.”
Hearing the National Style Event mentioned, Chen Kai could not help talking about the county’s plan to renovate a section of the old city wall.
At first, Chen Han was puzzled what the county’s plan to renovate the old city wall as a scenic spot resource had to do with him, but when he heard that this section of old city wall was the ruins of the Chen Clan in ancient times organizing the Ten Miles and Eight Villages to help defend the city against rebel soldiers, he felt as if some intangible creator of history had appeared.
He naturally did not know if this was true, but since the county said so, he immediately said, “Director Chen, our Chen Clan is also preparing to reorganize some past story information for the display corridor. We have seen this matter before and are considering writing this story into the display corridor for tourists to see.”
In this simple way, they reached a tacit understanding.
During their conversation, Chen Kai suddenly looked at his son in shock. The boy had raised his hand to pick his nose, then, as if by habit, put it into his mouth.
“Son, you can lift your hand?” his wife exclaimed in disbelief.
Ever since the child’s limb numbness symptoms appeared, every time it flared up he needed IV drips and medicine, and only after a whole night could he recover.
Now, after drinking just one cup of the Chen Family Head’s Bone Wine, he had recovered so quickly?
“Mom, put me down, my legs can move.” The child happily kicked his legs and spoke with joy.
After being put down, he could walk by himself. He really had recovered.
The Bone Wine of this Chen Family Head was astonishingly effective.
Chen Kai could not help saying, “Chen Family Head, your Bone Wine is too effective. How many times does the child need to drink it to be completely cured?”
Chen Han instead poured him another cup of Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. “Director Chen, that is just ordinary wine. How could it cure disease? You still need to take the child to the hospital. You must trust science.”
Naturally, at the end he did not forget to add, “If the child likes this wine, Director Chen can bring him over for a cup.”
“……” Hearing this again, Chen Kai opened his mouth in stunned silence.
However, he had enough emotional intelligence to reach his current status. He immediately realized that the Chen Family Head did not want to get involved in the disputes of treating illnesses and saving people.
There were too many cases of illegal medical practice being reported nowadays. Some were reported after curing illnesses, some after refusing treatment.
If it became known that the Chen Family Head had such Bone Wine, many would surely seek him out, and trouble might follow.
But he was not that kind of person.
In any case, none of this mattered as much. He knew that the Chen Family Head’s Bone Wine was effective, and moreover, the Chen Family Head had said that if the child wanted to drink this wine, he could come over for a cup.
That meant if his child relapsed, he could come drink this Bone Wine.
No wonder people say that among the vast land of China there are many extraordinary people, but those who have the fortune to meet them are few. Just like the Chen Family Head, clearly very capable yet refusing to admit it. Many extraordinary people must be like this.
So he was among the fortunate few with the fate to meet such an extraordinary person.
And as a beneficiary, being able to befriend a remarkable person like the Chen Family Head, there was no need to probe too deeply into other things.
“Thank you, Chen Family Head.” Chen Kai thanked him again, and so did his wife, bowing their heads with respect.
Whether or not the Chen Family Head acknowledged this matter was one thing. They still had to express their gratitude.
Before long, without disturbing him further, Chen Kai left holding his child’s hand.
After checking in, Wang Xinhe followed Zheng Yu to the hall, ready to ask about the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, when he saw Chen Kai and his group coming out.
His gaze was immediately drawn to the child, now able to walk by himself.
Had he been cured just like that?
Though he did not know what the child’s problem was, for a director father to be so anxious carrying him here, it was certainly not a simple symptom.
Thinking of this, he said to Zheng Yu beside him, “Xiao Zheng, please help arrange for me to meet the Chen Family Head.”
“President Wang, please rest first. I will go ask right away.” Hearing the Big Boss speak so politely, Zheng Yu felt deeply flattered. All of this was because there was a capable person in his wife’s mother’s home.
He immediately went to see his wife.
Seeing him, Chen Xiaoyan asked in puzzlement, “You didn’t go to work today, why did you come over?”
Zheng Yu went over to massage his wife’s shoulders in a fawning manner. “Wife, I need your help with something. My Big Boss’s father has a very serious eye condition. The hospital cannot treat it, so the Big Boss wants to meet the Chen Family Head. This concerns your husband’s future. I’d like Dad to ask the Chen Family Head.”
He could clearly see that his father-in-law had some status in the Chen Clan. This matter could only be entrusted to him.
Chen Xiaoyan immediately understood what her husband meant. Seeing him pleading like that, she could only say, “I’ll ask Dad. Whether the Family Head agrees is not something I can guarantee.”
Saying this, she sent a message to her father.
On the other side.
Chen Kai had already brought his family back to the county.
After parking, Ma Qi watched Director Chen take his son out and thought of his own wife and child.
Just then, his wife called. He hurried to answer, and her sobbing came through, “Husband, it grew back after being cut, the doctor says it might be a virus, they want to do more tests, it hurts so much… I don’t want to cut again…”
Not only his wife, but also the child was crying.
Hearing this, Ma Qi said at once, “The doctor is right. Since it might be viral, go complete the discharge procedures, say you want a transfer, and come back to the county. Endure it for another seven days and take it as a lesson.”
“Wahhhh…”
Only his wife’s anguished cries remained on the phone, so miserable that it was clear she had truly learned her lesson.
…
At noon, when Chen Han carried the medicinal cuisine to the table, his junior sister, Uncle, Uncle Dagou, and Uncle Shuisheng arrived.
As they ate, Xiao Yu reported, “Senior Brother, you marked too many spots. We don’t have enough peach trees. Just the outer ring alone needs more than 120 trees, and there are still marked spots in the middle. We need to order another batch.”
“Mm.” Chen Han nodded.
That meant another big outlay. Looking at the money, he felt that the one hundred million target was demanding enough, yet there were so many places to spend.
Chen Han then asked Uncle Shuisheng, “Uncle Shuisheng, how is the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea production going now?”
Chen Shuisheng immediately reported, “After adding more people, efficiency is higher. Now we have another 10 jin of Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea, and over 280 jin of ordinary tea. However, only our Chen Clan’s bamboo forest tea leaves have an effect. There’s no way to further increase yield.”
Chen Han nodded. Even if more bamboo leaves grew back, they could not keep up, and this Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea would only bring in a few million.
Seeing this, Uncle Shuisheng seemed to sense something and suddenly asked, “Xiao Han, Zheng Yu seems to have brought a very rich Big Boss. The man’s father has an eye problem. Now this Big Boss wants to seek an audience with you. Do you want to see him?”
Chen Han was surprised. Uncle Shuisheng had brought him a pleasant surprise. After a moment’s thought, he agreed. “Uncle Shuisheng, I can meet him. After we eat, let’s do it in the Tourist Service Center reception room.”
At least Zheng Yu had not led the man straight to him, but had reported indirectly through this channel, which was courteous.
After getting his answer, Uncle Shuisheng sent a reply to his daughter.
Not long after the meal, Chen Han met the Big Boss in the Tourist Service Center reception room.
“Chen Family Head, I am Wang Xinhe. I am very pleased to meet you.” After entering, Wang Xinhe immediately introduced himself.
“Mr. Wang, please sit.” Chen Han smiled and invited him to sit, and poured him a cup of the brewed Premium Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
Wang Xinhe picked up the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea. At the tourist hall, he had already drunk a cup of the Chen Clan’s ordinary Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea.
That tea had truly surprised him, not only for its taste, but for the comfortable, strange sensation that ordinary tea could not provide.
And, since the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea had many stated effects, they were likely not fake.
Now drinking this cup, he was even more astonished. This must be the premium version.
It was far superior to the ordinary one. He definitely had to buy some to take home.
However, he did not forget the serious matter and said with a touch of pleading, “Chen Family Head, I came to seek you today because I have a favor to ask. I heard that you are very skilled in treating eye diseases. My father’s eyes have very serious problems due to early years of overwork and some symptoms. The Provincial Hospital has no way.”
“Now I have heard that you have this ability. I cannot bear to see my father suffer. As his son, I hope you can lend your help.”
Although Chen Han had already guessed his purpose, he smiled when he heard this. “Mr. Wang, you must be joking. Treating illnesses and saving people is the hospital’s job. We only run tourism here. How would we know how to treat disease?”
Hearing this, Wang Xinhe said, “Chen Family Head, when I came to the Chen Clan today, I visited the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation Hall and was deeply moved. I have been deeply influenced by the Daoist teachings and am willing to donate ten million to promote the Heavenly Lord’s virtue, without seeking any return.”
These words actually threw off Chen Han’s rhythm. His steps were disrupted.
After all, this sincerity was overwhelming.
