"Sister Yuling, Madame is very busy today, you may have to wait a little longer. ”

"Can't you let us see Madame first?"

"No, it's not like you don't know Madame's character"

"Okay" Yuling, who had no choice, could only walk up to the two of them and said embarrassedly: "Lord Shengwu, Madame has a bit of a lot of patients today, I'm sorry we might wait a while." ”

"It's okay, Yuling. We sat and talked. Ren Xingtian comforted.

"Sister, why are you back?" a girl who really looked exactly like Yuling walked over.

Yuling also stepped forward and said happily: "Ying'er, I brought a few friends over for some trouble. How are you?"

Yuying hugged her sister, kissed her and said, "I'm very busy, but I'm very happy to see my sister." ”

After a few words of homely talk to her sister, Yuling introduced the two of them: "This is my sister Yuying." This is Lord Shomu and his guide. ”

After hearing Yuling's introduction, Ren Xingtian said unhappily: "How can I become a tour guide, Yuling, you explain it to me." Little sister, I'm still very good. ”

However, Yuling ignored him, and continued to say to her sister: "Ying'er, Lord Shengwu is here to send something to Madame, can we go and meet her first?"

Yuying looked at Li Qiutong behind her and asked, "Do you have anything to give to Master?" ”

"A very precious thing was entrusted to her by an old friend of Madame Qin, and I must hand it over to her personally. Li Qiutong said without giving in at all. After all, Canaan had specifically emphasized the significance of the jade needle to him before, so Li Qiutong didn't dare to casually reveal the news of this thing.

Hearing such a request, Yuying was also a little embarrassed, but looking at her sister's request, she still agreed: "I will explain this matter to Master, but I don't know if she wants to see you or not." ”

"Thank you, Ying'er. ”

Li Qiutong also nodded and thanked: "Thank you, I'm sure she will agree." ”

After speaking, Yuying walked towards the back room.

Opening a hidden door, Yuying cautiously walked inside.

There were two people sitting facing each other.

"Your illness is not too serious, just relax and pay attention to eating on time. Come to me in time if you have difficulties. ”

"Thank you, madam, I don't even know how to repay you. ”

The woman smiled: "A healthy life is the greatest reward for me." ”

After thanking him repeatedly, the man left the hospital.

Looking at the tired master, Yuying walked in and said with concern: "Master, if you are tired, just rest for a while, there are not many people to wait." ”

Qin Shuyu waved his hand and smiled: "Xiaoying, this level is really not tired, it's okay." ”

"Yes, Master, there is something I would like to ask you. ”

Qin Shuyu put away the things on the table and said, "Say, what's wrong." ”

"My sister brought two people to the hospital today, and they said they had something to give you. Yuying said cautiously.

Qin Shuyu sighed and said, "Yuling, she shouldn't have been allowed to go to the hotel in the first place, there are too many people there, and it's not good for her." ”

"Didn't Master see them?"

"Forget it, since Yuling has brought people over, I'll see you. Qin Shuyu said slowly.

"Okay, thank you, Master, I'll bring him in. ”

Hall.

Yuying walked up to the three people who were waiting boredly in the hall and said to Li Qiutong, "Master agrees with you, you come with me." ”

"Then you can wait for me here, and I'll come out in a moment. ”

Li Qiutong immediately took his bag and followed Yuying in.

Walking to Qin Shuyu's house, Yuying knocked on the door and asked, "Master, I brought someone here." ”

"Come in. A mature, gentle voice came from inside the room.

When Li Qiutong followed Yuying into the house, the initial feeling was that the strange fragrance was even stronger, and as his eyes moved, Li Qiutong finally saw the apprentice in his grandfather's mouth.

The pale red dress sets off her mature charm to the fullest, but the ruddy and delicate complexion makes it hard to believe that she is in her thirties, especially the mature and gentle gaze on that stunning face is endless.

She looked up at Li Qiutong, her eyes were full of gentleness and kindness, everyone has a love for beauty, maybe this is also the reason why people like Mrs. Qin.

"Master, this is Li Qiutong's son. Yuying introduced.

Li Qiutong bent down to avoid Qin Shuyu's eyes and greeted respectfully, "Hello, Mrs. Qin." ”

Qin Shuyu nodded slightly and said, "Hello, Li Gongzi." Qin Shuyu's first impression of the man in front of him was very good, polite, gentlemanly, and temperamentally gave people a sense of integrity.

After getting to know each other, Qin Shuyu asked straight to the point, "Gongzi Li, is there something you want to give me?"

Li Qiutong glanced at Yuying and said, "This thing is very precious, I want to give it to Madame alone." ”

Mrs. Qin was silent for a while, and said to Yuying, "Ying'er, you go out first"

Yuying wanted to stay here, but looking at the master's affirmative eyes, she finally left the house.

Seeing this scene, Li Qiutong also said gratefully: "Thank you Madame for trusting me." ”

"You have a temperament that makes it impossible for me to suspect that you have any other intentions. Now you can say, what precious things do you want to give me?"

Li Qiutong nodded, took out a box and a slightly wrinkled letter from his bag, and handed them to Qin Shuyu. Embarrassed to say, "It's a bit bumpy on the road, so ......"

Looking at the embarrassed Li Qiutong, Qin Shuyu smiled lightly: "It's okay, are these for me?" As she spoke, she reached out to open the slightly old box.

"Yes, it was my grandfather who asked me to bring the letter and ...... to my wife" Before Li Qiutong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Shuyu's surprised voice.

"This is, Emerald Needle. ”

"That's right, it's the Emerald Needle. Li Qiutong affirmed.

Suddenly, Qin Shuyu looked up at Li Qiutong and asked seriously, "So, your grandfather is Li Baicao?"

After getting Li Qiutong's affirmation again, Qin Shuyu didn't go to see the healer's holy relic again, but muttered in a slightly choked tone: "I didn't expect him to be alive and have such a big grandson." As he spoke, a tear of excitement had fallen on the table.

Realizing that there was still Li Qiutong, she realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve. After controlling his emotions, he continued, "He, is he okay now?"

Li Qiutong could only say truthfully: "Grandpa passed away two months ago. ”

This ruthless news made Qin Shuyu's rising expectations instantly disappointed.

She could only hide the endless pain and disappointment in her heart with silence, and then she picked up the somewhat yellowed letter, opened it, and saw the once familiar handwriting, on which it was neatly written:

Yu'er, it's been almost twenty years since we last separated, I don't know how you're now, but when you read this letter, I should have been dead for a long time. I've been wondering whether or not to write this letter to you, after all, I may only bring you sadness, but I finally decided to write you something, about my experiences and thoughts in the past 20 years.

Over the years, I have saved countless people, and perhaps many people are grateful to me and worship me. But I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment in my heart, maybe everything I did was to make up for my debt to my father. That's why I didn't say goodbye and went to Zhenbeiguan. I was so lonely that I even wanted to give up, but when I saw you coming to me, I didn't know why, and I felt confident and courageous again. Later, as you should know, I was assassinated, but maybe God didn't want me to die, so I was lucky to survive.

However, after that, my heart seemed to be dead, because after Zhenbei Pass, I found that no matter how many people I saved, it seemed that I could not compensate for the fault of my father in my heart, and I lost all hope. I just want to find a place to live my life in obscurity. But as fate would have it, in a heavy snowfall two years later, I picked up an infant child, and I named him Li Qiutong. I grew up with him day by day, I cooked for him, I told him stories. He accompanied me up the mountain to collect medicine and grind it for me, just like my father accompanied me in those years. I feel like that was the most relaxed and comfortable time for me. Later, that kid suddenly wanted to set foot on the martial arts, so I gave him the inexplicable martial arts that we accidentally obtained in Zhenbei Pass before, wanting him to retreat. But it's a pity that he really practiced a name for himself, watching his unremitting practice of martial arts every day, I suddenly found that I didn't want to stop him anymore, everyone has the right to choose their own path, and I actually just need to watch him happy and be satisfied, maybe this is a father's true heart, I will never blame my child for doing anything wrong, I just want to do my best to help him, watching him happy because of success. I feel that my father saw me like this back then, and when I came out, I no longer felt ashamed of him, because because of his support and trust, his son became the most powerful healer in the world. And these are also what I will give to Xiaotong.

However, as Xiaotong grew up, I found that my body was failing day by day, and the debts I owed back then always had to be repaid. You've probably met him already, a little shy, a little simple, you're going to like him. He has good strength, but he thinks too little about the world and people's hearts, and I hope you can help him, which is the only request I can ask you.

Finally, I would like to say, maybe you are married and have children. But please forgive me for being twenty years late for my confession, I want to say, I want to tell you that I, Li Baicao, have always loved you, and I have been in love with you since the first time I saw you at the age of eighteen that day. But I've been holding back, I'm afraid your family will object to you marrying a man fifteen years older than you. This retirement is twenty years, I regret it, but I can't do anything, I can only confide in you in the last moments of my life.

Please forgive me, Yu'er. I hope that I will be able to meet you in the next life when you are at your best.

In this quiet ward, Qin Shuyu read the entire letter with tears in her eyes. For twenty years, she had always believed that Li Baicao was still alive, she had been waiting for him, and finally waited for such a sentence that she had been looking forward to, but the other person was no longer there.

Looking at Qin Shuyu with a crying face, Li Qiutong didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Qin Shuyu stabilized his emotions, looked up at Li Qiutong, and said, "Xiaotong, did your grandfather tell you about me?"

Hearing this familiar and friendly name, Li Qiutong was a little confused all of a sudden, "No, grandpa just asked me to hand over the letter and the jade needle to you, saying that you are his only apprentice." ”

Qin Shuyu, who didn't know whether to be happy or sad, looked at the child in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

"Xiaotong, do you have any relatives now?"

Li Qiutong counted them and said, "I still have two sworn brothers and a tour guide." ”

"Tour guide?" Qin Shuyu was amused by this strange title.

"Xiaotong, your grandfather was your only relative, right?" Qin Shuyu asked gently.

Li Qiutong nodded a little disappointed.

Then, Qin Shuyu stood up, slowly walked in front of him, looked at the child who was about the same height as himself, and gently hugged him into his arms.

"It's all right, kid. Your grandfather entrusted me to take care of you, and I don't have a child now, can you be my godson?"
