"We can't help him much, but this time I helped him with what he needed the most." Yan Guang reached out and shook a pair of fists that his grandson rested on his knees as he spoke.

"What does he need most?" Yan Xingzhi looked at his grandfather with puzzled eyes. Then he gradually understood, the expression in his eyes changed for a moment, and then he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is that patient okay?" ”

"It can't be described as good or bad, in short, if even me and Liao Shi can't be saved hand in hand, then his fate is like this." Yan Guang gently patted the back of his grandson's hand, and said gently: "A doctor is just a person, and it is rare to be fair and rigorous in his life. The more I watched life and death, the more I understood that it is not a good thing to invest too much emotion in the treatment process. ”

Yan Xingzhi nodded, and then lowered his eyes and fell silent.

Yan Guang also groaned, and after a moment of silence in the room, he suddenly spoke again: "I haven't seen Liao Shi make a move for many years, and this old guy has a lot of skills. ”

Yan Xingzhi smiled lightly at first, and then there was a hint of confusion in his smile, and he said slowly: "It's a pity that my grandson has been behind the pharmacist for a few years, and I haven't seen him really save people."

"You'll have a chance." Yan Guang stood up after saying that, he walked to the small window and cast his gaze far away.

No one with a modicum of family background would settle down in the hustle and bustle of Kyoto's two major business districts, and the Yan Mansion was no exception. And Yan Guang specially chose such a quiet place, and the reason why he, a doctor, is used to thinking about some problems in a quiet environment.

There are no tall buildings in the quiet residential area, and Yan Guang stands on his small building, easily looking down on the tiled roofs of large houses. Most of the gray roof tiles absorb most of the sunny sun, but the roof of the main roof of each house is almost left with a square inch of land, inlaid with several expensive but very transparent glazed tiles. The translucent glazed tiles of amber nature let some of the sunlight into the house, and refracted some of the sunlight back to the sky. The sunlight smears the colors of their homes, making the glazed tiles scattered against the background of gray roof tiles dazzling.

Look at such a sight. Yan Guang remembered the sandy beaches of Kyoto's coastline strewn with white shells. The rough sand is smoothed and softly soothed by the strong tide, and the magical sight created by the forces of nature will make the heart calm and peaceful.

Peace of mind makes it difficult to make mistakes, and before making a serious decision, it is best to keep your mind so smooth that you can check if you have the last trace of negligence.

Taking a deep breath in the face of the distant view bathed in bright sunshine, Yan Guang turned around, and turned to his grandson's doubtful gaze mixed with a hint of expectation, his gaze was firm and gentle, and said calmly: "That night a few years ago, you asked me to agree. Now I couldn't agree more. Also, the reason why you don't go home, I don't completely disagree with it anymore. ”

Yan Xingzhi was surprised when he heard this. Lost his voice and said urgently: "Grandpa, what do you mean by this......"

"I'm in favor of you continuing to stay with that old fellow, your father won't keep you for long, and I'll tell him about it myself." Yan Guang smiled slightly and continued: "However, that old guy may have been a little busy recently. After a while, I'll arrange for you to meet him. ”

Before Yan Guang's words fell, Yan Xingzhi stood up from the chair with a "whoosh" and threw himself into Yan Guang's arms, shouting at the same time: "Grandpa, you are really good." ”

In the face of his grandson, he was a little too excited. Yan Guang only stretched out a hand against his shoulder, and said helplessly: "Why have you grown a lot taller, but your heart hasn't grown at all?" ”

Yan Xingzhi smiled embarrassedly. Then he took a step back and said to Yan Guang very seriously: "Thank you, grandpa." ”

After regaining some calm reason, Yan Xingzhi suddenly realized a problem, and asked puzzledly: "Grandpa, my grandson doesn't understand again." A few years ago, just to find his traces, Uncle Pei and I spent nearly a year climbing the mountain. You've also used the excuse that it's hard to find them. Persuade me not to try to find him, but why are you so confident now? ”

"Because yesterday I made a pact with him." Yan Guang paused for a moment before continuing: "I worked with him to save that patient, and he helped me treat you." ”

Yan Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Grandpa, this is not a deal, you can't use that patient as a bargaining chip to assign a pharmacist to do things." ”

"You're underestimating your grandfather." Yan Guang shook his somewhat gray eyebrows at his grandson with some displeasure. After taking a deep breath, he continued: "You should know that at least on this issue of our Yan family, I don't believe in his medical skills. ”

Yan Xingzhi's eyes darkened slightly and said, "You are still blaming him for not curing BA's illness." ”

"It's me who gives him too much trust, and I should have known that curing diseases and saving people is not something that can be judged by thinking about things with their hearts." Yan Guang let out a sigh of gradual stasis in his chest, "No one in our Yan family's family disease can do anything in the first place, he is not afraid of ruining his reputation to take over, but I have been questioning all his learning because of the ineffectiveness of his treatment techniques that time, now I think about it, it really shouldn't be." ”

"This kind of thing happens to my own family, and it is inevitable that the situation cannot be controlled, not to mention that this thing happened to my grandfather's mother." Yan Xingzhi fell silent after saying this, and after a long time, he suddenly looked up at his grandfather Yan Guang, smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, if the pharmacist still fails this time, will you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Guang shook his head and refused him to continue, and at the same time refused to develop the not-so-beautiful thoughts in his heart.

"Something similar, the old fellow asked yesterday."

Yan Guang looked at his grandson's young and energetic face, but his mood was filled with a touch of sadness because of the worry in his heart. After sorting out his thoughts, he said with a firm gaze: "Grandpa hopes that you are healthy, this is something that three generations of our Yan family have to work hard for, and you must also participate." So don't lose your confidence and courage by saying discouraged words before you take action. ”

Yan Xingzhi nodded, his smile was more natural and bright than just now, and suddenly said, "I'm just a little curious...... The pharmacist always said that if you saw him, you would beat him up. I can't imagine how he would dare to agree to continue helping you. ”

"That guy must have said a lot of weird things in front of you. But don't worry, I'll save up all the energy to fight before I'm done. Yan Guang said and rubbed his palms, "I was annoyed when I thought that yesterday I slapped this weird old man who said a lot of bad things about me in front of my grandson." ”

"Grandpa, don't worry, he knows my identity, and he is so open-mouthed, he just wants to get angry with me." Yan Xingzhi finally couldn't help laughing out loud when he said this, and said while laughing: "And grandpa didn't say anything bad about him, but he didn't have another one for me to convey these things for him." ”

Yan Guang frowned slightly, and waved his hand again and again in an instant: "Don't convey those blocking words to me for him in the future, so as to save my ears from being unclear." ”

Yan Xingzhi couldn't help but smile and said: "But grandpa had better learn to adapt, you also said, we will cooperate in the future." The pharmacist is not bad-hearted, but his heart is very resolute, and his grandson has followed him for a few years, and after becoming familiar with his old scoundrel routines, he admires him even more. ”

"You......" Yan Guang sighed softly and continued slowly: "If you follow him for a few more years, will you really lose the identity of the heir of the Yan family?" ”

Yan Xingzhi's face was slightly embarrassed, and the identity of the 'heir of the Yan family' was currently under a lot of pressure on him unconsciously. Just when he didn't know what to say at this time, there was a knock on the door.

The servant brought the soup that had just been made in the kitchen, and the Yan family had not eaten together for a long time, so they did not go downstairs to the hall, so they ate soup together in this narrow attic, and they also ate happily.

After the servant left, Yan Guang put aside the spoon, looked at Yan Xingzhi and said gently: "It's okay for a while, you go back to live with your mother for a while." I'll keep you a secret from her for the time being, but you can't stop yourself from coming home because of that. ”

Yan Xingzhi nodded, and after silently drinking a few sips of soup, he suddenly asked curiously: "Grandpa, I heard rumors that the pharmacist once swore that he would never save people again in this life, do you know why?" ”

He said that. It was the emperor's own mother who was seriously ill and sent someone to arrest him into the palace, but he was unwilling to heal her, and immediately swore a poisonous oath in the main hall. Yan Guang smiled lightly when he said this, and then said: "The old man is a temperamental person, as a doctor, he shouldn't have too much selfishness in treating diseases and saving people, but he just did it, and he always said that he was not a person who practiced medicine. He doesn't care that medicine and medicine are closely related, and no one can do without anyone, how can he cut it so clearly! ”

Yan Xingzhi let out an "oh", and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Now that the dynasty has changed for many years, his oath should be canceled, right?" ”

"Who knows? That oath was originally made by him in his own name, and whether it counts or not is actually up to him. What about the thickness of his cheeks, and the fact that he did not keep his oath? Yan Guang pinched the handle of the spoon and stirred it in the bowl casually, and said: "You may not know that after the change of banners in Kyoto, the old man committed another crime, and the emperor ordered him to be disqualified from practicing medicine. This is an official order written in black and white, but he is not doing the treatment of patients now. ”

"When he was on the Gale Ridge, my grandson also saw that he had rescued several injured hunters, and according to his own words, his reluctance to practice medicine to save people seemed to have little to do with his oath." Yan Xingzhi muttered and recalled, and after a while, he suddenly said with confusion in his eyes: "What did the pharmacist do again?" He always seems to be running out of bad luck. ”
