Chapter 50 Daoist Medicine
They don't deserve it! They don't deserve it! They definitely don't deserve it!
Who are the Fuwa mascots? They're the ones who are supposed to be pampered!
Ordinary people can just watch from afar.
Once he got the specific address, Tieguai Li turned around and left without even thinking of taking his grandson with him or bringing any gifts. He just left like that, or perhaps he was in a hurry.
When Tieguai Li met Xiao Taohua, he saw a little girl surrounded by many children. The little girl looked cheerful and was wearing a bright red dress; she was especially beautiful.
These things are not important. What is important is that Tieguai Li felt he was questioning the meaning of life.
Well, here we need to specifically explain what Tieguai Li's true identity is.
First of all, under normal circumstances, he is a doctor; as the townspeople say, he is an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor. But in fact, he has a hidden identity; he is a Taoist doctor.
What is Daoist medicine?
It means that one is skilled in both Taoist arts and medicine, and the two complement each other.
Unfortunately, Tieguai Li didn't know any Taoist magic. In his youth, he had used his family's ancestral home to swindle and deceive people, but later, when the authorities became more cautious, he obediently became a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Sometimes he even began to doubt whether Taoist arts really existed in this world.
He couldn't master the traditional Taoist medicine passed down in his family, and in the end, he became just an ordinary old Chinese medicine doctor.
It's no wonder that Tieguai Li doubted the authenticity of his ancestral home. After all, he couldn't sense anything about meridians or qi, and as for that so-called remote pulse diagnosis, could he really feel it?
Based on his own experience, it was all fake.
But note that this is the ancestral home!
Therefore, in the end, Tieguai Li's feelings were very complicated.
But that doesn't mean he didn't learn anything; at least he knows the basics of face reading.
In the photo he saw, Xiao Taohua had the face of a person destined for longevity and good fortune; moreover, this face could change. Furthermore, he seemed to see in her face a connection between him and her, suggesting she was meant to be his apprentice!
This was the first time in all these years that he had encountered such a person, and coupled with the legends surrounding him, Tieguai Li was very eager to find out more.
Okay, now that we've seen it, Tieguai Li has one feeling: he absolutely must abduct this little girl—cough cough, I misspoke—he absolutely must take her as his disciple. She's a promising candidate for Daoist medicine! Thank you, ancestors, ancestors of eighteen generations, the passerby who provided the clue, and even his grandson! Because the moment he saw Xiao Taohua, he clearly heard his ancestors speak: he must take her in, and he must pass on all the ancestral knowledge to this little girl.
Well, for Tieguai Li, experiencing the amazing world for the first time, of course he agreed!
So, Tieguai Li straightened his clothes, tidied his beard, and adjusted his hat before limping over.
"Uncle, who are you? Are you looking for someone in our production team?"
Someone noticed Tieguai Li coming over and asked in confusion.
"Hello children, I'm looking for Little Peach Blossom."
"Little Peach Blossom, what do you want with Little Peach Blossom?" The children asked cautiously.
"I'm here to apologize to my grandson."
"Hello, Grandpa." Little Peach Blossom walked over surrounded by people.
"Hello." Tieguai Li smiled and looked like a kind old man. Since he had difficulty walking, the children didn't think he was a bad person.
Well, on this point, children are still a bit naive.
Seeing Little Peach Blossom walk up to him, Tieguai Li continued, "Little Peach Blossom, do you still remember the older brother you met yesterday when you bought meat?"
Little Peach Blossom dreamed last night about "that bad older brother who wanted to steal our meat."
Tieguai Li never expected that his grandson would be seen this way by Xiao Taohua: "Ahem, that bad brother is Grandpa's grandson. I'm sorry, Xiao Taohua, the bad brother did something wrong, and Grandpa is here to apologize on his behalf."
“But Grandpa did nothing wrong.” Little Peach Blossom tilted her head. “Grandpa doesn’t need to apologize.”
"ah?"
"It was the bad older brother who did wrong, not grandpa."
Tieguai Li understood this time and immediately felt that the girl was sensible. Thinking of his twelve-year-old grandson, he sighed, "Tsk, my grandson's age has already passed like a dog's belly."
But there's nothing I can do; he's my own grandson, my own flesh and blood, so I have to put up with it.
"But it was Grandpa who taught his grandson, and he didn't teach him well. The grandson did something wrong, and Grandpa is the culprit. So it will seem more solemn for Grandpa to apologize to Little Peach Blossom. Of course, my grandson also wants to apologize to you."
"Then, I forgive Grandpa."
"Yes, thank you, Little Peach Blossom."
Little Peach Blossom was a little embarrassed by Xie's words. Actually, she had already taken her revenge last night, biting that bad brother so pitifully.
"Then, I forgive my bad brother."
"No, just like what Little Peach Blossom just said, it was the bad brother who did something wrong, and the bad brother should apologize to Little Peach Blossom in person."
Little Peach Blossom was a little confused.
Tieguai Li continued, "How about this, Grandpa will bring your bad brother over later so you can apologize to him in person, okay?"
"But..." Little Peach Blossom felt that this was a bit strange.
"Then it's settled. I happen to need to speak with your parents. Are any of your family members home?"
"Mom went to work."
Where is Dad?
"Dad went to study outside."
"Wow, Little Peach Blossom's parents are really amazing," Tieguai Li exclaimed.
Little Peach Blossom had something to say about this, her little eyes shining brightly: "Yes, Little Peach Blossom's parents are super, super amazing!"
When the topic turned to Yin Qing and his wife, the other children quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle and Aunt are super, super amazing! They can even lift Xiao Taohua up high! And they can also play with Xiao Taohua! Uncle and Aunt are the most amazing!"
Tieguai Li never expected a topic to cause such a stir. Of course, he listened with great interest to the children's praise, but his eyes remained fixed on Xiao Taohua. Seeing that Xiao Taohua was also excited, he realized that the little girl also liked the topic, so she kept nodding and praising.
A group of people praised Yin Qing and his wife, and as they praised them, they felt that their relationship with Tieguai Li had improved and they had become closer.
Very well, as I said before, children are too naive.
When Tieguai Li was about to leave, all the children were still reluctant to leave and decided to stay there and play there, without moving.
Little Peach Blossom was certainly willing to wait.
Although she has now forgiven her bad brother, Grandpa said he is looking for her mother, so she can play here while waiting. She is even a little excited, as this is the first time she has met such a good grandpa, even better than her own grandpa.
The key point remains the same: children are too naive.
After leaving Xiaolin Village, Tieguai Li could be said to be walking at lightning speed, but unfortunately, his bad leg hindered his performance, and he returned home at the same speed as a normal person.
"Grandpa, where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere," Li Zhen muttered as his grandfather returned home.
"Come on, let's go apologize to Grandpa later."
"What?!"
