The person who had always made Xiao Ling'er doubt in her heart finally came out of Mu Shishi's mouth.

When she borrowed those two books before, Xiao Ling'er could see that Sister Shishi was extremely precious to them, even if they looked at them for a few years, they were still very intact and tidy, and even the corners were difficult to see.

When she mentions this, she will reveal a loneliness that she usually can't see at all.

It's just that Sister Shishi didn't say it, and Xiao Ling'er didn't ask, but she didn't expect that today, this matter would come to the fore.

"That person is my senior brother, his name is Meng Jun."

Mu Shishi pursed the corners of her lips, and those memories that she didn't want to mention were suddenly opened, and they began to surge out.

"Senior brother was the first to worship the master, he, like me, has no father and mother since he was a child, it was the master who took him in, and he, one day in the snow, found me."

Probably just like the stories of the two little unguessed bamboo horses in the play, Mu Shishi grew up with Meng Jun and studied medicine under her master.

still hasn't escaped the consistent drama of this green bamboo horse, Mu Shishi got along with each other day and night, and fell in love with Meng Jun for a long time.

It's just that Sister Shishi at that time was far from being as open-minded and uninhibited as she is now, and even her affection was hidden, even if the two of them were a match made in heaven in the eyes of the same door, they had never been together.

But Xiao Ling'er thought that Meng Jun at that time should also like Sister Shishi, at least he must have a different feeling. Otherwise, how could he paint such a beautiful picture for her, and how could he give him a medical book compiled by himself.

It's a pity that after all, this feeling still couldn't overcome the love of medicine in his heart, and after the death of their master, Meng Jun decided to travel around to practice medicine, and write the unfinished medical book left by his master, unwilling to be cramped in such a small place as Tang County.

So the parting was so sudden.

When Mu Shishi thought of this, her expression darkened a lot. "Actually, we didn't get to where we are now, and it's no wonder he left, but I didn't even have the courage to go with him at the beginning. Master left this medicine shop behind, and there were still many patients who were still being treated. Senior brother Xie Yuan is bent on studying again, and he has no intention of staying here, if I leave again, I will not be responsible for those patients, and it will also make Master's hard work in running the pharmacy wasted for a while. After such hesitation, I still couldn't make up my mind. ”

"What about him, he didn't think to wait for you with him?" Xiao Ling'er remembered that Sister Shishi said that that senior brother, like Brother Xie Yuan, was a stubborn person, and now it seems that it is really true.

"Senior brother said that if you decide to do something, you can't wait, and once you stop, the waiting time is always far away. Just like Master, Master's dream for half his life is to travel all over the world and taste all kinds of herbs to cure all diseases, but every day there are new patients in the pharmacy, and someone needs him every day, so he stopped at the pharmacy and never waited to start again. ”

Mu Shishi laughed helplessly, but there was a loss in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, "The day my senior brother left, I personally went to deliver it." He left me the two medicine books, and I gave him the portrait and let him take it with him, so that he could not forget me. He said that Master had been involved with me, and he knew my intentions, and if I was willing to wait, he would come back and marry me in three years. If you don't return, you don't have to be attached. I swore that I looked forward to that day every day, but who would have thought that three years and three years, six years would pass in a flash, and I still didn't wait for him to appear at the door of the pharmacy. ”

"Sister Shishi......" Xiao Ling'er listened, and even her own emotions became depressed along with Sister Shishi.

A young joy and a promise actually exchanged Sister Shishi's six years of youth.

Although she is not very old now, she is already a late-married girl in the Southern Dynasty, but she is still dressed in green silk, waiting for the person who can pull up her long hair.

Actually, when it comes to temper, Sister Shishi is no worse than Brother Xie Yuan and the senior brother who has never appeared.

"It's been six years, and he hasn't come back, so isn't there even a single news?"

Mu Shishi shook her head, "No." ”

Xiao Ling'er felt even more unworthy for Sister Shishi, "If there is no news, let you wait like this, Sister Shishi, if there is no portrait this time, it is difficult for you to wait like this." ”

"I don't know, if you had asked me this question three years ago, I would have been very sure, but later, maybe waiting became a habit. He didn't show up for a day, and he always left an empty space in my heart. This empty place is not filled, and where is there anything else. ”

"A promise, wait for six years, Sister Shishi, you have paid too much."

Mu Shishi chuckled secretly, "I may think that it is too much, but in fact, in a blink of an eye, it passes quickly." After all, I can't blame him for this. I thought that if I had a chance to choose again, maybe I would stay. I'm not as open-minded as you think, and there are a lot of things I can't let go of. This pharmacy, the teacher who was still in the time, and so many patients need to be connected to the master's stall, the senior brother is far away, and the junior brother is dedicated to learning, except for me, no one else can do it. Perhaps, I can only blame that there is no fate between me and my brother. ”

Mu Shishi said, and suddenly looked at Xiao Ling'er again, "But Ling'er, I really didn't expect that just when I was about to give up, he would appear again." He painted this portrait for me, and I remember clearly that there will never be a second one in this world. Yi Gongzi has met my senior brother. This time, I don't want to miss it again. ”

"Don't worry, Sister Shishi, since I have a clue, I will definitely help you find him." Xiao Ling'er held Mu Shishi's hand, and there was nothing else she could do.

"This portrait was sent by Yi Gongzi, then he must have seen your senior brother and knew something. And since he was willing to send this thing, it means that he specifically wanted us to know and confirm this matter. ”

Xiao Ling'er only remembered now, no wonder the last time Yi Gongzi saw Sister Shishi for the first time in the medicine canteen, he said that he looked a little familiar. At that time, she thought it was just a polite joke, but now it seems that he thinks it is similar to the woman in the portrait, and after returning to Yu'an City, he sent the portrait over.

Mu Shishi also kept nodding her head, "You're right, that's why I'm going to go to Yu'an City, and everything will be clear when I find Yi Gongzi." ”

"Don't be so anxious, didn't you say it, we don't even know where Yi Gongzi lives now, not to mention that we just know that Yi Gongzi has this portrait in his hand, in case he got this portrait by chance, he doesn't know Meng Jun at all, or even if he does, after so long, Meng Jun is not in Yu'an City now. Didn't you go for nothing? ”

"And what do you think we should do?"

"Let's take a look at the situation on the other side of Yi Gongzi first, and see how much he knows." Originally, Sister Shishi must have been more calm and calm than her, but when it came to Meng Jun, she didn't even have time to think more. "The letter is from the inn, and I'll write another one at once and have them send it back at the same address. Since Yi Gongzi sent the letter, he should be able to leave some clues for contact. When the other hand replied to the letter, it seemed that Yi Gongzi knew the reason, and then decided what to do. What do you think, I've been waiting for six years anyway, and it's not bad for ten days and half a month. ”

Mu Shishi lowered her head and thought for a while, before finally raising her head and nodded, "Okay, just do as you say." ”

"Then I'll reply now." Xiao Ling'er didn't dare to delay, but she still didn't forget to pat Mu Shishi's shoulder, "Sister Shishi, no matter what the result is, when you receive the letter in a few days, everything will be known." Don't be in a hurry during this time, don't let the only two shopkeepers of our medicine canteen take the lead one after another. ”

"Don't worry, I know." Mu Shishi finally eased her emotions, her lips raised slightly, and she couldn't see much smile, but in the end, she could be regarded as committed.

Sure enough, Xiao Ling'er guessed correctly, she arrived at the post station where the letter was delivered, and the person at the post station said that if there was a response from this end, it would be sent to the address where the letter was sent.

Xiao Ling'er immediately left a note for them to send to Yu'an City quickly, naturally there is no need to say anything, since Yi Gongzi sent the portrait over, he should understand what they mean.

She just didn't know what would happen to the ending that Sister Shishi had been waiting for for six years when the letter was sent from Yu'an City again.

Compared with Sister Shishi's childhood sweetheart, Xiao Linger suddenly felt that the trouble between herself and Mei Chengan was simply not worth mentioning.

This is good, she doesn't have to figure out what to do, but it calms down the confusion in her heart at once, and finally there is no more wrong in business like a few days ago.

Sister Shishi is right, whether you really like it or you are tempted, being yourself is the most important thing.

Zhu Qianxue has survived that stubble, and she has lived a lot, and the medicine canteen finally didn't have any other difficult things, and the business stabilized.

Sister Shishi would go to the post station every day to ask about the letter, Xiao Ling'er also did not delay, and after looking for a day, she called a carriage and asked a guy in the store to help, and went to Anding Village to pick up her mother-in-law and them.

The courtyard behind the medicine canteen is not small, and she can live for the time being, she found a small courtyard in the east of the county, which is definitely not as big as the old house of the Mei family in Anding Village, but it is best for the family to be closer, so as not to have to live forever Xiaoqin They want to come to see themselves, and they have to run a lot of roads.

When the courtyard in the east of the city is repaired, they will be able to officially move from the medicine hall to their new home there.
