Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Old Man
It was late at night, but Hu Guangzhi hadn't slept yet, sitting alone and pouring himself a drink, talking to himself.
"Brother, I found a good seedling, character, heart, talent, diligence is no worse than Siyu in all aspects, if you are still there, you will also like it...... Brother, I decided to take him as an apprentice and teach him all my skills. ”
"Originally, I thought it would be good to stay in the hospital for the rest of my life to treat diseases and save people, didn't we think so when we first started studying medicine? Be the busiest doctor with endless patients...... This is the doctor with real skills, otherwise who would look for you to see a doctor? Hahaha......"
"Brother, my brother knows that you have wronged you, especially Siyu, when she left, a pair of eyes never closed, as if telling me, Master...... I'm not reconciled. Hu Guangzhi's eyes were red, and he took a big sip of wine, which burned his stomach and heart.
Tao Siyu is his apprentice, but he treats Siyu as his daughter, and Tao Weicheng is his good brother. The only person he has emotional ties in this world is the Tao family. But a catastrophe four years ago made him lose his good brother and good apprentice......
In the past four years, he has numbed himself with busyness every day, he hated himself for being useless, unable to help his brother wash away his grievances, and unable to return justice to his apprentice.
But now, that opportunity seems to have come.
"Brother, I want to return to the Tai Hospital, there are some things I have to do, even if I fail in the end and break my bones, at least I tried my best, I don't regret it, anyway, I am alone, and my medical skills have been inherited, there is nothing to regret......"
Hu Guangzhi laughed, with tears in his eyes, poured himself full, and raised a glass to the air: "Brother Weicheng, he will drink together under the two or nine springs of our brother one day, and he will not return if he is not drunk." ”
Early the next morning, Hu Guangzhi went to the hospital and saw a nun standing outside the clinic.
Are you here to see a doctor or to see a doctor?
Hu Guangzhi didn't plan to deal with the nun, and walked straight past her.
"Brother Hu."
Hu Guangzhi paused, looked back at the nun, and his eyes gradually showed a look of disbelief in astonishment: "Are you ...... Huiru? ”
I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and the other party's appearance has changed greatly, but Hu Guangzhi still recognizes it.
Tao Huiru, Tao Weicheng's only sister, ran away from home more than ten years ago because of emotional problems.
When the Tao family had an accident, he was still glad to come, although Tao Huiru's whereabouts are unknown, it is better than falling to the ground.
Unexpectedly, she got married and became a nun.
"It's me, Brother Hu, is it convenient to take a step to speak?"
Hu Guangzhi didn't think about it: "You wait for me for a while, I'll go in and explain." ”
After a while, Hu Guangzhi came out and took Tao Huiru to his house.
"Where have you been all these years? Do you know how worried your brother is about you when he looks for you everywhere? Hu Guangzhi poured Tao Huiru a glass of water and began to question, but he didn't say that he had also been looking for her for many years.
Tao Huiru smiled bitterly: "I am a monk at the Jingci Nunnery at the foot of the West Mountain, and I have always been there, in fact, I have already contacted my brother, but I asked him to keep it secret, so only my brother and Siyu in the Tao family know that I am there." ”
Hu Guangzhi: Uh...... Okay, you Tao Weicheng, even hid it from him.
"So, it was rumored that a monk collected the body for the Tao family, and that monk was you?" Hu Guangzhi asked. At that time, he wanted to collect the corpse for his brother's family, but the government refused to let it, saying that such a traitor would be a violent corpse for three days, and then a monk family came, and the monk family was merciful, and the government was not good to stop him, and when he got the news, the corpses of Tao Weicheng's family of four had been taken away, and their whereabouts were unknown, which made him regret it so far.
"It's me, I buried them at the foot of the West Mountain, and not only that, but I also took a lock of Siyu's hair and offered it to the Buddha, chanting and praying day and night, because this child ...... He refused to close his eyes. Tao Huiru choked up.
After practicing for more than ten years, she still can't achieve the six purifications, and the tragic death of the Tao family has become the biggest obstacle to her understanding of Buddhism, and every time she thinks about it, her heart aches.
Hu Guangzhi sighed: "You came today to ......"
"I'm here for the rain."
Hu Guangzhi was at a loss and didn't understand what he meant.
"There's something you might not believe when you say it, because it's so unbelievable, and I can't find a reason not to believe it. On the birthday of Shakyamuni Buddha, a young lady with a strange poison came to Jingci Nunnery, she said that Siyu entrusted her with a dream, and asked her to come to me to help detoxify, and she knew that I was Siyu's aunt. ”
Hu Guangzhi's eyes widened, is there such a thing?
"I know Siyu's heart, and if she keeps the secret, she will definitely keep it."
Hu Guangzhi nodded: "She even hides it from me, the master!" ”
"So I had to believe it, and I took action to detoxify that young lady, and then yesterday she came to me again and told me that she had obtained the things that Siyu had hidden under Siyu's guidance, and I gave Siyu a silver needle bag, as well as the Lingxi Codex...... Later, Siyu asked her to come to you again, hoping that she could worship you as a teacher and fulfill her unfulfilled wish for her. ”
Hu Guangzhi was stunned, this kind of thing is only found in ghosts and gods, right?
"But...... No young lady ever came to me. Hu Guangzhi said.
"She's come to you in disguise for convenience, and she's got your approval."
Hu Guangzhi's eyes widened more and more: "You mean...... Zhen Ri'an? ”
"Ri'an is the word Yan, her real name is Lin Yanyan, and the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion of Ding'an is also." Tao Huiru looked at Brother Hu's surprised look, no wonder Lin Yanyan wanted to invite her to visit, otherwise Brother Hu would not accept her as an apprentice if he knew her true identity.
Hu Guangzhi's mind was shocked by the news that Zhen Ri'an was a woman, and she was also the eldest daughter of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and he didn't react for a long time, to be exact, he couldn't accept this fact.
That kid is delicate, but he looks like a kid! Why did she suddenly become a woman?
"She doesn't want to hide her true identity from you, lest she be deceived by you, but she doesn't dare to reveal her identity, so she asks me to come to you and tell you the reason, Brother Hu, she said that it was Siyu who saved her life, so she wants to help the Tao family avenge her grievances, and she already knows that the Tao family's unjust case has a lot to do with the death of her father Ding'an Hou."
"Did she really say that?"
"Yes, she's determined."
Hu Guangzhi pondered for a long time: "I have a little doubt, as far as I can observe, her medical skills are quite good, compared to the doctors in the Tai Hospital, she has such medical skills, in order to ask you to help her detoxify?" She can't solve it herself? ”
Before, she had only read a few medical books and only understood some fur, all of which Siyu taught her in her dreams. Brother Hu, I'm wondering, did I offer Siyu's hair to the Buddha and chant and pray every day, so the Buddha appeared and fulfilled Siyu's wish in this way? ”
