Chapter 35: The Secret of the Ye Family
"Doctor Han, where have you been, you're covered in ashes. When entering the Ye family, the janitor saw Han Lin's embarrassed appearance and asked half-jokingly.
"Oh, I went to the mountains to pick some herbs," he said, and Han Lin also took out the herbs in his arms and showed them to the janitor, and there was still fresh soil on them, indicating that the herbs had indeed only been picked for a short time.
Seeing that Han Lin actually went to collect the medicine in person, the gatekeeper thought that Han Lin didn't know about the preferential treatment of the doorman, so he hurriedly explained: "How can Doctor Han let you go and collect it yourself, just tell your subordinates what you need, the mountains are so dangerous, if there is an accident, ......"
"No, no, I'm also idle, and it just so happens to be a walk" Han Lin snorted, not planning to dwell on this topic. After all, what he needs, the less people know the better.
As for the dangers, could he not have known about the dangers in the mountains? Strictly speaking, he went into the mountains for the sake of those dangers.
But to be honest, the rabbit that can change color with the wind blade and the poisonous snake that can change color, Han Lin is not afraid, after all, he already has the cultivation of the sixth layer of qi refining, and with the help of the talisman, there is really no danger that can hurt him, except for getting lost......
"Doctor Han, you ......" Han Lin's stubbornness made the janitor want to persuade something. But suddenly, as if he had seen something, he hurriedly pulled Han Lin to the side to dodge.
The janitor's actions made Han Lin a little confused, so he thought that some big man was coming, so he had to get out of the way. But when he turned around, he found that it was a little girl.
And this little girl gave Han Lin an awkward feeling, although she was obviously the eldest lady of the Ye family in silk clothes, she was carrying a small basket, and no one greeted her everywhere she went, but everyone would avoid her like this janitor, as if this person was a disaster.
The little girl was obviously accustomed to the attitude of the people, and continued to walk towards Ye's house as if no one was around, until she disappeared into the depths of the courtyard.
"Hmm, how can this little girl feel familiar?" Han Xin recalled in his heart looking at the direction in which the little girl had disappeared, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen each other.
So in order to relieve the doubts in his heart, Han Lin asked the janitor, "That, who was the one who went in just now?"
Hearing Han Lin's inquiry, the originally enthusiastic janitor suddenly became unusual, he fanned the air in front of him, and then he didn't say a word for a long time.
It seems that there should be some secret in this, and it is inconvenient to tell Han Lin as an outsider. Seeing this, Han Lin didn't ask any more questions, and after saying goodbye to the janitor, Han Lin walked towards his yard.
Along the way, there were servants whispering something in the direction of the girl's disappearance. But as soon as they saw Han Lin, they all returned to normal, although they pretended to be nothing, but Han Lin still saw different feelings in their expressions, disgust and regret.
The reaction of the Ye family aroused Han Lin's curiosity, in addition to that, he was more concerned about the familiar feeling, why did he always feel that he had seen her somewhere?
This feeling had been haunting Han Lin's heart, and it wasn't until Han Lin walked back to his yard that he suddenly remembered, wasn't that little basket the back of the girl he had met in the dense forest before?
The girl who was picking medicine in the forest was actually the Ye family!
——————
"Head of the family, Miss Yu Yao is back" In the head of the family's study, a man wearing a short robe and a short knife around his waist reported to Ye Zhantian.
"Okay, she didn't encounter any accidents when she went out this time, right?" Ye Zhantian continued to deal with the matter at hand, and asked without raising his head.
"No, Miss Yu Yao is already familiar with collecting medicine, it's just ......" Speaking of this, the man suddenly hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
"Did Miss Yuyao meet Dr. Han when she was resting by the river today?"
"Doctor Han?" Ye Zhantian didn't react for a while.
"It's the Patriarch you accepted some time ago. ”
"Oh" After thinking for a while, Ye Zhantian gradually recalled Han Lin.
It's no wonder that he has a bad memory, the main reason is that Han Lin is too inactive, according to the report of his subordinates, Han Lin was active in the first few days when he became a doorman, and then began to close the door. Except for going to change Qi Lao's medicine every few days, he stayed in his yard all the other times, and even cooked his own meals. After a long time, Ye Zhantian almost forgot about this young man.
"I remember, hasn't he been in his yard all the time, how could he meet Yu Yao?"
According to Dr. Han's own statement, he seems to have been researching an ancestral prescription recently, and today he also went to the mountains to collect medicine, and because he was not familiar with the road, he finally got lost in the mountains and ran into Miss Yu Yao. ”
If Han Lin was here, he would definitely be very shocked, what this man said was exactly the excuse he had said to Mo Ji before and to the janitor this time, and this man actually knew everything.
The head of the house, on the other hand, was accustomed to this, and after thinking about it, he said, "Oh, do you think there is something wrong with this young man?"
The man understood what the head of the family meant, in fact, not only the head of the family, but even he felt that Han Lin's appearance today was too coincidental, Miss Yuyao didn't go out once for a few days, and this time she went out to collect medicine and happened to be met by Han Lin, which would not make people think of anything.
But the middle-aged man was at the scene at that time, and from Han Lin's every move, he didn't see anything unusual about this young man. Therefore, he had to admit that either Han Lin, a young man, was hiding too well, or he was really lost.
In comparison, he preferred to believe in the latter, because Han Lin had no reason to approach that little girl, the special existence of the Ye family.
Therefore, after organizing the language, the man replied, "According to his subordinates, Dr. Han has no problem, it should be just a coincidence!"
"Okay, I see, you go down. ”
After the man left, Ye Zhantian was still thinking about this matter, in fact, he didn't blame him for not trusting Han Lin, but Ye Yuyao's identity was too special, and she was involved in too many things, which led to things involving her, and Ye Zhantian had to be cautious.
"Hey, fourth, I'm sorry!" In the end, after Ye Zhantian sighed, he no longer thought about it. As he lowered his head and went about his business, the room was quiet again.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Han Lin got up early, and after simply eating something, Han Lin packed up some things and walked out of the yard.
Today he has important things to do, he is going to visit some people to see if he can find out something about this little girl from them.
But he was busy for a long time, looking for many people who were familiar with him, but to no avail.
Originally, these people were very enthusiastic about him, but when it came to the matter of the little girl, these people chose to keep silent. Whether it was Dr. Wang, Dr. Li, or even Qi Lao, they were reluctant to mention the little girl. Among them, Qi Lao even bluntly said that this was the Ye family's family matter, and it was inconvenient for them to say more, so Han Lin should not delve into it.
This really exceeded Han Lin's expectations, what could it be, even a person of Qi Lao's identity didn't dare to mention it.
But since Qi Lao said so, Han Lin could only choose to follow the advice, after all, he was just a small doorman, and there were some things that he was inconvenient to mix.
Originally, he thought that this would be the end of the matter, but the appearance of a person made things take a turn for the better.
This person is Ye Zhen, the unruly young master.
At noon, after Han Lin returned to his courtyard, there was a knock on the courtyard door soon, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Ye Zhen. And the reason why he came here, Han Lin didn't have to think about it, he must have come to eat again.
After all, this is not the first time he has come, a few days ago he came here when he had nothing to do, not only to eat and take, but also to ask Han Lin for advice on how to make dishes.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the eldest young master of the Ye family, and that he would bring some things when he came, Han Lin would have stopped serving a long time ago.
But today is different, in the past, Han Lin would have a headache when he saw Ye Zhen, but today's appearance of Ye Zhen made him feel a little happy, he might be able to ask something from the mouth of this eldest young master.
So this time, Han Lin moved the technique of pressing the bottom of the box, made a table full of dishes for Ye Zhen, and kept toasting each other during the meal, and finally at the end, Ye Zhen was poured with seven meat and eight vegetables.
Seeing that Ye Zhen was already a little delirious, Han Lin knew that the time had come, and after breaking away from the follower, Han Lin finally got the information he wanted.
And as Ye Zhen told it intermittently, Han Lin finally knew why all the Ye family members were secretive about that little girl, it turned out that this involved Ye Zhantian, the head of the Ye family, and the fourth master of the Ye family, whom Han Lin had never heard of.
It turned out that the previous head of the Ye family actually had four children, they were the head of the Ye family, the second master, the third master that Han Lin had seen before, and the fourth master he had never seen. And the reason why Han Lin hadn't seen him was because the fourth master had actually passed away a long time ago.
According to Ye Zhen, the fourth master died in a battle between the Ye family and the Sun family, but no one in the descendants knew what happened, they only knew that since then, several families who had been familiar with each other suddenly broke up, and the death of the fourth master has also become a taboo for the Ye family, and no one dares to mention it.
If the matter ends here, it will be fine, but God seems to have a grudge against the fourth master and their family. After the death of the fourth master, his daughter had another serious illness and had a fever for seven days, and finally came to her senses, but she became mute. The fourth grandmother even had tuberculosis, and she was not cured by visiting famous doctors, and now she can only barely survive with some medicinal herbs.
Why do you say this? That's because that little girl is the daughter of the fourth master, Ye Yuyao.
Since her mother was diagnosed with tuberculosis, this wordless little girl has shouldered the burden of the family, she sent all her subordinates away, and took her mother to live in a remote courtyard of the Ye family, taking on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her mother alone until now.
Speaking of this, Han Lin finally understood why everyone in the Ye family looked like they were afraid when they saw the little girl.
Because for people nowadays, tuberculosis - there is no cure.
