Yongming Goose Fanwai [Screaming Goose] (3)
(3) Silence
In a blink of an eye, I have been with Mu Fangjin for nine years, and even if I am a brother, I am probably not as close as our relationship.
Because of our teachers, we have not been separated for nine years.
The only time I parted was when I was fifteen. His father died, and as the only son in the family, he naturally had to go back to mourn. And I continued to follow Master's side, traveling all over the world to diagnose and treat stubborn diseases.
Fifteen years old, it stands to reason...... I guess I'm an adult. Therefore, I mentioned to Master that I wanted to inquire about the Yong family back then, but Master still avoided answering and only said, "Eighteen years old is considered an adult!" You're still too young! And so he left it at that.
Master is a very slippery person, and I have no doubt about that. And the master is also a very powerful person, he knows medical skills, and he can teach his brother how to alchemy, and even did the work of telling fortunes for people.
Naturally, in addition to this, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and at the same time proficient in everything.
I followed Master and there were more things that I couldn't get used to, so I had more time to study my medical skills...... Although I don't quite understand what happened when Master came over with a drink and was full of alcohol, and looked at me with very relieved eyes.
And so, another three years. Three years later, when I finally got to that day, Master first talked to me about the truth.
"I just want to know the truth about the disaster of the Yong family, I want to know everything, Master, you said that you would tell me when I became an adult!"
Master glanced me up and down a few times, and then slowly shook his head: "Ming Yan, you say, you want to know all this, what is it for?" ”
"Revenge." I stared at him, with no expression on my face: "I know it's the emperor, and the things of that year must have been acquiesced by the emperor, but I want to know the details." Finally...... Who framed the Yong family. ”
He frowned, and the wrinkles on his face showed the vicissitudes of more than ten years: "Revenge!?" Revenge on the Emperor!? When he said this, he gritted his teeth angrily: "You don't want to die!" What did you do when your brother and Second Highness rescued you from it?! Let you go to death again! ”
…… Second Highness? What, could it be that the person who saved me that time was actually the second prince ......?
No...... But even so...... Even so, I can't forgive the Emperor for doing this! My Yong family has hundreds of lives, how can I just say it!? "I survived, completely ...... It's all about revenge. I looked at him without hesitation: "So, I must know the truth." I will never let go of anyone who harmed my father back then! ”
"Song geese! Do you know why I want to teach you how to practice medicine!? At this time, the master frowned, stepped forward and said, "The heart of the doctor's parents! I just hope that you can have a kind heart when you heal the sick and save people! Why don't you understand! Give up revenge, and you can live as your parents and brothers expected. He eased his tone and said earnestly: "Ming Yan, you are the last bloodline of the Yong family, if you die, then what's the point of rescuing you back then." ”
"I know what I want." I stared at Master and said in a solemn voice, "You said that you would wait until I became an adult to tell me the truth. Then I guess you're hoping that I'll be able to face something like this again when I'm mature, but ...... My thoughts haven't changed, and I want revenge, as I did fourteen years ago. I...... Yong Mingyan is the only reason to live in the world...... There is only revenge. ”
"You kid...... Why do you not listen to persuasion so much! ”
I chuckled, "Master, you have raised me for fourteen years, how can you not know my temperament. When I decide things change, I can easily change. I looked at him, and finally knelt down: "I Yongmingyan, now I am also a dignified and bloody man, this revenge is not avenged, even if I live for a lifetime, after a hundred years, I will have no shame to face my parents and brothers again!" Master, apprentice, thank you for your kindness in the past 14 years, I just ask you to tell me the truth about the disaster that happened to the Yong family back then! After that, no matter what, please let the apprentice go alone. ”
The master didn't speak for a long time, and finally just let out a long sigh. "Well, there are a lot of details involved in this matter, and I can't recall some of them, so you can wait for me to write them out one by one, and then show you how it goes."
I agreed.
And the master locked himself in his room for the night, and the lamp was lit all night.
It wasn't until the next morning that no one answered when I knocked on the door several times, and when I opened the door, I found that Master was gone, and the window was still open.
Master deceived me and fled, leaving behind a stack of untouched white paper.
Since then, in order to find the truth of all this in pursuit of the unreliable Master, I have embarked on a long journey. During the period, he treated people and collected some consultation fees for pestering.
During this time, I gathered all kinds of information and heard all kinds of rumors. But what happened more than ten years ago, things are right and wrong, and they can't be dialectic.
And in it, I also gained a lot of interesting rumors -
When Master took us on a tour of the Western Regions, he accidentally got a piece of Xuaniron. It's just a small piece, but it's like a treasure. Mu Fangjin and I didn't understand what this small piece of dark iron meant, I felt that it was useless, after all, even the needles used for acupuncture and moxibustion had no special effect, and Mu Fangjin also didn't know what this thing could be refined when it was thrown into the alchemy furnace.
But after three years of walking in the rivers and lakes, I learned by some chance that this dark iron, although it seems to have no effect. But there's only one thing that works...... That is, any medicine can be easily quenched into it.
Include...... Poison.
It's just that later, such a thing, such a thing that was obviously very precious to him, was discarded in the counting sign and other things when he passed by Jizhou.
Master seems to have an old friend in Jizhou, who often visited before, and the one time he lost his signature stayed in Jizhou for the longest time, and it was also the most frustrated when he left.
I don't know what Master went through at that time, but all I cared about was that piece of dark iron. No matter what it is made of, at least quenching poison can greatly increase the odds of victory.
What Master wants to teach me is the heart of a healer's parents, hoping that I can heal and save people. But I like crooked ways and have developed many ways to make drugs. Finding the Dark Iron this time is the first preparation for my path of revenge.
When I came to Jizhou, it was early summer. In the border towns in the north, even in summer, the weather is very cool. I came to the stall where Master had sat before from memory, only to find that the small package that had been wrapped was gone, and the gossip diagram was spread on the bamboo table, and the familiar stick holder was also placed!?
How...... Could it be that someone opened the package!? Now...... Is anyone else here to tell fortunes? Could it be ...... It's Master!
"Childe, you're looking for him to tell your fortune, right?" The old woman selling potatoes on the side suddenly spoke. "Oh, unfortunately, he's been gone for a while, you don't want to wait any longer?"
I groaned for a moment before I turned around, "No, I'll come back tomorrow morning." ”
