Chapter 241 On the Importance of Personal Connections
In the dead of night, the last two lights in the Wang family were quietly blown out, leaving only the faint sound of raindrops falling to the ground along the rain chain...
At this moment, a carriage sped through the street, the sound of panicked horse hooves came from far away, and it stopped at the door of the Lin family. A small figure hurriedly jumped off the carriage and stumbled towards the Lin family.
Just a moment later, there was a heavy knock on the Lin family's door.
Zheng Da, who was awakened, quickly got up and opened the door, and saw Cui Zhiyao standing at the door, covered in blood.
At this moment, she had lost all the vitality she had during the day, and her eyes were filled with despair and sadness. She cried and said, "Where is Sister Yining? I have something urgent to ask her."
……
Little Yining was pale as she nestled in her mother's arms, hugging her nurse tightly, and her ears were filled with two sad cries. She stared at the closed door, where the head of the Medicine Valley was reattaching the old man Shangguan's severed limbs.
Things are impermanent!
She never thought that the accident would happen so quickly. Old man Shangguan, who reminded her during the day to build good relations with the people in Medicine Valley, got into trouble tonight.
According to his grandson, when Old Man Shangguan came out of her house, he hummed a little tune while picking up herbs with him. And because the Kong brothers lived in the back, he went to check on the situation, and this trip took half an hour.
Shangguan Wenyuan didn't find anything wrong at first. It was Cui Zhiyao who remembered that his master was not allowed to drink alcohol during the Cold Food Festival, so she ordered the maid to warm up a cup of the health-preserving medicinal wine that he usually drank and brought it to him. Only then did he discover that old man Shangguan had both his hands broken and was lying in a pool of blood. The Kong brothers, who had been shouting for revenge during the day, also died.
Shangguan Wenyuan immediately used a silver needle to stop his grandfather's bleeding, and the old man Shangguan woke up for a moment, said a place name, and then fell into a coma.
No one expected that the greedy old man would suffer such a disaster.
Moreover, he had encountered broken hands for two consecutive days, which made Xiao Yining's heart tremble slightly.
"I begged my grandfather to accept Kong Xingzhi, but I never thought it would harm him." Shangguan Wenyuan covered his face and cried, feeling extremely regretful.
Cui Xiangyang, who rushed over from the palace, patted him on the back, looked at the closed door, and sighed, "Wenyuan, the most undesirable thing in Yanjing is kindness, alas..."
When Wan Niang and her daughter heard this, they couldn't help but look at them and snuggled closer.
The atmosphere in the room was so depressing that it was suffocating.
At this time, several adults walked in with solemn expressions. Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng followed helplessly at the end.
Zhang Bufan wiped the rain off his face, and when he saw Xiao Yining, he immediately stepped forward and praised her, "I didn't expect Miss Lin to have a good relationship with the owner of Medicine Valley, and actually asked him to take over for Doctor Shangguan."
Xiao Yining asked in surprise, "Grandpa Zhang, what is friendship?"
Zhang Bufan: Could this little girl be pretending to be stupid? He just asked someone, and Doctor Cui’s daughter went to beg for a long time but no one paid any attention to her. When this little girl went there, the door was opened immediately.
Lin Yuzan came over from behind and said apologetically, "Master Zhang, I don't think I understand what you are saying."
Zhang Bufan: …
Wan Niang laughed and picked up her daughter, helping to translate on the spot, "Qing Jie'er, Lord Zhang asked how you knew the man inside?"
"Mom, I don't know him. It was Sister Cui who took us there. Have you forgotten?" Xiao Yining said truthfully.
She only knew the female doctor sister and didn't know anyone else outside the Medicine Valley. Who knew that she could open the door here by scanning her face?
The people in Yaogu were too respectful to her. She was just helping to report the case to the authorities.
Cui Zhiyao also explained, "Master Zhang, I was indeed the one who brought Sister Yining over. I heard from my uncle-in-law that the people in Medicine Valley seemed to like Sister Yining, so they came to her."
"I have always been loved by everyone." Little Yining said in a rather cocky manner.
Zhang Bufan twitched his lips, and finally nodded in agreement, "Ms. Lin does look festive."
Every time we meet, our relationship is fulfilled.
He looked helplessly at the two men behind him, it seemed he couldn't get anything out of them.
Xiao Yining also followed his gaze and looked at the two men curiously. One of them was probably the leader of the Iron Eagle Guard, and the other was wearing casual clothes and must have been pulled up in the middle of the night.
"Uncle Shangguan, have you found the evil guy?" Cui Zhiyao asked the man in casual clothes anxiously again.
Shangguan? It turns out that he is Shangguan Ruyi's father, one of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Xiao Yining retracted his gaze and pricked up his ears to listen to what was said next. It was a pity that Lord Shangguan was a taciturn person. He shook his head regretfully and sat aside.
The Iron Eagle Guard leader slammed the table angrily and said, "If anyone dares to kill my people, I will definitely skin and flay the thief."
Zhang Bufan couldn't help but remind him, "Commander Yu, there are children here!"
Commander Yu glanced at the little kid who was staring at him with wide eyes, and continued impatiently, "Why are these kids staying here? They are crying and can't help. Let them go back."
Xiao Yining: ...I didn’t cry, my eyes just became red.
This was exactly what Lin Yuzan wanted. He had already seen who had started the fight, and he didn't want to stay here for even a moment. So he quickly went forward to pick up his daughter, and bowed slightly to the adults, "My lords, it's getting late. I'll come to see Doctor Shangguan tomorrow."
Zhang Bufan glanced at the backs of the Lin family members disappearing at night, and then stared at the closed door like everyone else.
As the folk legend goes, Medicine Valley is home to a group of sorcerers with superb medical skills. It would be great if he could invite one of them to return home to be the family physician. What's more, this person is the owner of the valley and has the ability to reconnect severed limbs. He must offer generous conditions to keep this person.
Cui Xiangyang glanced at the adults who were waiting quietly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
……
"Dad, didn't the valley master uncle say that he wanted to talk to us after the limb was reattached?" Little Yining asked in confusion in the carriage. Her father had just deprived her of even the chance to say goodbye to the uncle, and directly carried him away from Miaozhen Hall in a hurry.
Lin Yuzan half-raised his eyelids and said sarcastically, "Don't worry, since this person has spoken to our family, he will definitely come looking for us tomorrow. Let's not disturb the adults from doing their work."
"Didn't Sister Qing say that the people in Medicine Valley have been wanting us to ask them to prepare medicine for recovery?" Wang Cheng continued to explain, "Something happened to Doctor Shangguan, so your father and uncle's medicine will be cut off. They are kind-hearted and will help prepare the follow-up medicine."
Xiao Yining nodded in understanding.
A family of four, three of whom are sickly, and yet they are willing to spend a lot of money, they are indeed a hot commodity in the eyes of people in the Medicine Valley.
But no matter when, those who work to pay off their debts are always miserable. I don’t know whether the female doctor has recovered the stolen money.
"I don't know who is so cruel to kill everyone." Wan Niang, who had been absent-minded, murmured in a low voice.
"Wan Niang, don't think about it. No matter who it is, this matter will never come to an end." Lin Yuzan also replied in a dull voice.
Nothing to do?
So sure?
Little Yining looked at her father and suddenly remembered what he had said. The two words "Leng Mansion" popped up in her mind.
