Chapter Eighty-Eight: Looking Back
He put down Lin Shan casually and said curiously: "Shanshan, you came to the village to pick me up!" But how do you know I'm back? ”
"Of course, it was because of my grandfather's sensitive ears, and as soon as the minibus arrived in the village, he heard the sound of the engine from a distance, so he asked me to come and have a look. Don't talk about it, let's go home. ”
The two walked into the village together, and Da Hei followed behind with his tail wagging his tail.
In the courtyard, an old man who is over the age of old is playing Tai Chi under a big jujube tree, one punch and one style, the moves are rigorous, and there are rules to follow everywhere.
Although the old man is old, he is full of energy, with long crane hair and a childish face, and his eyes are even more brilliant between his moves, revealing a fierceness everywhere.
"Grandpa!" Seeing the old man, Lin Yi's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little for the first time, and he shouted.
Lin Yaozong had already heard Lin Yi's footsteps entering the courtyard, so he was not surprised, and when he heard Lin Yi shouting, he raised his head with a smile, but when he saw Lin Yi for the first time, his heart was shocked.
Immediately, his face sank, and he strode to Lin Yi's side, and asked in a deep voice, "You have been poisoned?" ”
Lin Yi smacked his tongue secretly, he really couldn't hide it from his grandfather.
"Yes," Lin Yi had to nod, "My parents, I'll talk to you about it when I see them." ”
Lin Yaozong's expression was a little more relaxed: "Your father just went to the West Village to treat people, and your mother went to the town market to buy vegetables." Boy, how did you grow this Gu poison, you must explain it to me clearly! ”
"Grandpa, are you kidding, looking at my brother's radiant appearance, where does it look like he has been poisoned?" Lin Shan stood aside and couldn't help but wonder.
"You ghost girl, do I look like a joker!" Lin Yaozong's gray beard fluttered and fluttered, "I don't believe you can ask this stinky boy yourself." ”
Lin Shan immediately turned his puzzled gaze to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi nodded helplessly: "I heard that I was hit by a poisonous Gu called 'Red Gold Poisonous Silkworm'." ”
"What?" Hearing this, Lin Yaozong suddenly changed color, and seemed a little incredulous.
Lin Yi's heart moved, and he asked casually, "Have you heard of this poisonous Gu?" ”
Lin Yaozong nodded noncommittally: "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Lin Yi's house is not big, there is a side room with carved wooden windows in the east and west, and the lobby is due north.
The lobby is decorated with antique furniture, which seems to be not very old, and some of the furniture has been stained and peeled off.
Lin Yaozong found a Taishi chair and sat down at will, Lin Yi seemed to have returned to before he went to Yanjing, without command, he immediately made a cup of Pu'er tea for his grandfather, and then sat next to him obediently with Lin Shan.
"Grandpa, tell us about that 'Red Gold Poisonous Silkworm'!" Lin Shan's big watery eyes sparkled, staring at her grandfather curiously.
Lin Yaozong took a sip of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "When it comes to the Red Gold Poisonous Silkworm, we have to start talking about it from forty years ago. ”
As if reminiscing, Lin Yaozong's expression became a little nostalgic and yearning, and he sighed and said: "At that time, I was still a hairy boy in his twenties, following the master who practiced medicine and helped the world, and traveled all over the world. It was one of the happiest days of my life. ”
"My master and I rescued people while collecting medicine, and we traveled all the way south to Yunnan. At that time, the beautiful terroir and simple folk feelings of Yunnan deeply attracted the master, so he decided to live in Yunnan for a few months. ”
"In Yunnan for a few months, we have been staying in the hotel, when the master Bodhisattva heart, in those months to help the world to practice medicine for people to see a penny of money, and because of the medical skills, in the hotel area is famous, many people with incurable diseases come to us for medical treatment."
"Grandpa, you don't charge money for medical treatment, what kind of life did you take at that time?" After all, Lin Shan is a teenage girl, although her strength is not weaker than Lin Yi, she has never seen much of the world, and finally caught the opportunity of her grandfather to tell a story for the two, and immediately asked long and short questions.
Lin Yaozong stroked the white beard on his chin, and said with a slightly smug smile: "Although your ancestor is a good person, our Lin family had a lot of money in Yanjing at that time, and the cost of maintaining life in Yunnan is tantamount to a drop in the bucket. ”
Lin Yi's heart moved, and he asked, "Our family used to live in Yanjing?" He was a little curious, since he was a child, he had never heard his grandfather and parents talk about it, could there be something hidden in it?
Seeing that his grandfather's face immediately fell silent because of his words, Lin Yi couldn't help but be more sure of what he thought in his heart.
"Then it involves the generational grievances of our Lin family and the Li family, which is also the main reason why Xiaoyi called you back this time."
"The Li family?" Lin Yi realized, "You said that Li Luoshan, the king of medicine? ”
"Not bad." Lin Yaozong sighed, "Let's get down to business, we'll talk to you about this later." ”
It turned out that the reason why Lin Yaozong knew the poisonous Gu of "Red Gold Poisonous Silkworm" was precisely because of an incident that happened when he and his master were treating people in Yunnan.
On that day, Master Lin Yao went out to collect medicine, leaving his apprentice alone in the hotel. At that time, Lin Yaozong followed his master to study medicine for several years, although his medical skills were slightly successful, but the master was afraid that he would be in a hurry to treat the patient, and he would miss the patient's condition, not to mention, and in the end, if the patient died because of him, it would be more than worth the loss.
Therefore, the master instructed Lin Yaozong that in the few days when he was away, if someone came to see the doctor, he should first go to check the patient's pulse and check the condition, and once he encountered a disease that he had not encountered or could not be treated, he must not be reckless, and he must ask the seriously ill patient to leave first, and wait for him to come back before making plans.
In fact, Lin Yaozong also acted in strict accordance with his master's instructions.
However, on the way, he ran into a Miao girl, which almost shook his mind.
The girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, a slender figure, wearing a strange skirt of the Miao people, looking forward to it, people can't help but look at it twice, at that time she was still carrying an old woman who was over the age of sixties.
The old woman seemed to be at the end of her life, her whole body was swollen, her Yin Tang was black, and she seemed to have no strength to breathe.
At that time, although Lin Yaozong was a young man with strong blood, seeing such a beautiful girl, he really wanted to help the old woman on her back, but the master's words before leaving made him feel like an empowerer.
After making sure that the old woman's condition was really serious and that he could not be treated, no matter how the girl knelt down and pleaded, he still gritted his teeth and rejected the girl.
Seeing the tears that burst out of the girl's eyes before leaving, Lin Yaozong's heart was inexplicably uncomfortable at that moment.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but unexpectedly, that night, the girl came to the hotel again.
"Why did the girl come back?" Hearing this, Lin Shan couldn't help but interrupt her grandfather's narration, "You still want to ask grandpa to treat her relatives?" ”
Lin Yaozong smiled bitterly and shook his head, a trace of deep sadness flashed in his eyes: "At that time, her grandmother was dead, and she hated me for not trying to save her grandmother, so she came back to take revenge on me." ”
"Ah......" Lin Shan was dumbfounded, "just because you are not sure about treating patients, you put the responsibility of your dead relatives on your grandfather, that woman is too unreasonable!" ”
Lin Yi realized something and asked, "Grandpa, is that girl a master of Gu use?" ”
Lin Yaozong nodded bitterly: "Yes, it was she back then, who made me see the power of the 'Red Gold Poisonous Silkworm'." At that time, if your master hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of that girl. ”
"No wonder," Lin Yi nodded, "Can you use medical skills to remove the poisonous Gu on my body?" ”
"Alas......" only heard Lin Yaozong sigh, "It's all because I don't have a high level of understanding, people were greedy for fun at that time, and before he learned half of the master's medical skills, his old man died ......."
Speaking of this, Lin Yi saw that there seemed to be something crystal flashing in his grandfather's eyes. The two didn't dare to disturb their grandfather's sadness, so they had to sit silently and wait.
After a while, Lin Yaozong was relieved from his sadness, and he seemed to realize his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoyi, tell me who ordered the poisonous Gu in your body, although I can't solve the Gu, I can suspend the pain of its attacks every nine days." ”
"Once in nine days?" Lin Yi was shocked in his heart, "Will this Gu poison attack automatically?" ”
"Not bad." Lin Yaozong nodded solemnly, his face sinking like water, "So, you must tell the story in detail, you can't miss a single bit, I want to prescribe the right medicine!" ”
So, Lin Yi told Lin Yaozong all the things about the killer Binglan. Of course, he omitted a little along the way.
That was the last time to hunt down Ice Blue, and the ambiguous scene that happened between the two in the grove.
During the whole process, Lin Shan was almost fascinated when she heard it, holding her cheeks with both hands, and staring straight at Lin Yi with her two eyes.
It wasn't until she finished telling everything about the matter that Lin Shan came back to her senses, took Lin Yi's hand and said, "I didn't expect my brother's encounter in Yanjing to be so dangerous, that killer named Bing Lan is too hateful!" ”
But Lin Yaozong pondered for a while before he said: "Xiaoyi, according to what you say, the killer Binglan is likely to be the descendant of that Miao girl back then, but I don't know why, she actually took the initiative to let you go in the end, and asked someone to solve the Gu for you on the day of Chongyang?" ”
Seeing his grandfather's puzzled look, Lin Yi's old face couldn't help but blush slightly. However, fortunately, it was in the house, and the light was not very bright, and the two did not see the strangeness in Lin Yi's expression.
"Who knows, maybe Bing Lan is just joking, she is a femme fatale-hearted woman, she has tried to harm me several times, and what she says may not be credible."
"I don't think what she said is a lie," Lin Yaozong's brows gradually relaxed, and his worries about his grandson eased slightly, "Back then, your ancestor explained the Gu for me, and it was also on the night of the Double Ninth Festival. Because that night, the day when Yin Qi and Yang Qi reunited, it was the most suitable time to solve Gu. ”
Lin Yi was stunned for a while. Could it be that what the femme fatale said was true?
"Let's not talk about that yet, without further ado, I'll suppress the Gu poison for you immediately. Back then, I can clearly remember the pain of the Gu poison attack every nine days, and I can't forget it in this life! ”
Lin Yi couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Grandpa's words reminded him of the pain he suffered when he was poisoned that night.
"Dad, what do you say you can't forget?"
At that moment, a slightly chubby woman walked into the house, carrying a basket of vegetables and meat in a crisper bag.
Seeing the women who came in, Lin Yaozong hurriedly coughed twice and said with a smile: "Shuying, the two children want to listen to the story, and I am idle, so I will tell them something, have you come back from buying vegetables?" ”
While he spoke, he was constantly signaling Lin Yi and the others with his eyes.
