Chapter 64 Missing
Elder Yang was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly: "Do you know my senior brother? Where is he now?"
He and his senior brother had not seen each other for more than ten years. He had been asking about his whereabouts, but there was no news of him for so many years. He thought that his senior brother had been in trouble. After all, during that period, they, the Chinese medicine practitioners, suffered too much hardship. Some were sent to the cowshed, some were sent to the farm, and they did the most tiring and hardest work. Not only did they not have enough to eat, they were often dragged out for criticism.
Thinking of that painful and difficult time, Elder Yang couldn't help sighing. Those days were like walking through the gates of hell. Both his body and mind suffered great torture, and he almost died. Fortunately, he finally persevered and welcomed the light again.
"He is my master, he has gone abroad." Ling Yao would not meet her master again until ten years later.
"Is that so? Is your master doing well now? Did he say when he would return to China?" Elder Yang looked at Ling Yao with a gentler look. His senior's disciple was also his junior, so he naturally had to take better care of him.
"He is doing well now, and he has always been thinking about you, but he can't return to China now." In his previous life, the master told her that his life was also full of hardships in the first few years when he went abroad.
He worked odd jobs for others, carried goods at the dock, and went through untold hardships to save enough money to open a Chinese medicine clinic.
However, Chinese medicine clinics were not accepted by people abroad, and his clinic was smashed more than once. Finally, he was lucky enough to save a big shot, and that big shot came forward to help him, so that he could open a Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown.
"I'm glad that you're okay, senior brother." Elder Yang smiled and nodded. As long as the senior brother is still here, they will meet one day.
"Yaoyao, did my senior brother teach you Taiyi acupuncture?"
"Yes." Ling Yao nodded.
"Then take this set of Taiyi acupuncture, this is a little gift from the uncle." Elder Yang was very happy, smiling like Maitreya Buddha. He also accepted several apprentices, but they were not talented. When he taught them Taiyi acupuncture, they could only learn the form, and could not understand the mystery at all, let alone use it.
Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. If there was no successor, then his skills would be lost.
"Thank you, uncle master!" Ling Yao did not refuse. As the saying goes, one cannot refuse a gift from an elder.
"Yaoyao, how many acupuncture points have you learned in Taiyi acupuncture?" Elder Yang intended to pass on all his life's skills to Ling Yao. Ling Yao looked like a smart child, and he also believed in his elder brother's judgment of people.
"I have already learned it all." In her previous life, she used Taiyi acupuncture to save many people. Even with her eyes closed, she could use Taiyi acupuncture accurately. It seemed that Taiyi acupuncture had become a part of her body.
"That's great." Elder Yang smiled even more happily. They finally had a successor.
He did not doubt Ling Yao's words. With Ling Yao's current achievements, there was no need for her to lie to him. Moreover, he and Ling Yao have been together for such a long time, and he also knows her character.
"Yaoyao, if you don't understand something in medicine in the future, just come to your uncle." As long as Ling Yao needs it, he will do his best.
"Okay, uncle." Ling Yao was also very happy. I didn't expect that I and Master Yang would have this kind of relationship.
A car was driving slowly on the road. Ji Yanting looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.
His eyes fell on a movie theater not far away, and his eyes moved slightly, "Stop!"
The driver hurriedly pulled over.
Ji Yanting pushed open the door and got out of the car. He said to Ji Yuanming who wanted to get out with him: "I'll walk by myself. You and the driver go back to the guesthouse first. I'll go back in a while." He planned to stay in Yuncheng tonight and go back early tomorrow morning.
"Dad! I'm worried about you being alone." Ji Yuanming said worriedly. His dad's leg just healed not long ago, and he is unfamiliar with this Yuncheng. What should he do if something happens?
"I'm not a child, you don't have to worry about me, go back." Ji Yanting waved at Ji Yuanming, raised his head and walked towards the direction of the cinema.
Ji Yuanming shook his head and sighed, waited for a moment, and still followed quietly.
Walking into the cinema, Ji Yanting glanced at the movie posters on the wall, and then scanned the surroundings. There didn't seem to be much change here, and it was almost the same as when he came here that year.
Endless thoughts surged in his heart. He seemed to see the figures of himself and Xuemei in the past, they walked in here side by side, talking and laughing.
At that time, they were newly married and very affectionate. Xuemei wanted to watch a movie, so he brought her here.
They bought a bag of melon seeds and a bottle of soda, and sat in the dark cinema, watching the movie while sharing each other's laughter and happiness. Their laughter echoed in the cinema, as if there were only the two of them in the whole world.
Now, he was the only one standing here, and he could only rely on his memories to miss the person in his heart.
After buying tickets, a bag of melon seeds and a bottle of soda, Ji Yanting walked into the cinema and sat down at the seat where he and Ling Xuemei had sat.
"Xuemei, do you want a soda?" He looked at the seat next to him, where the girl with two braids and a smile on her face seemed to be still sitting, and at this moment she was looking at him with gentle eyes.
"Okay."
Ji Yanting smiled, but his eyes slowly became wet. Xuemei, I miss you so much! I really miss you!
An hour later, Ji Yanting walked out of the cinema and came to an alley opposite. This alley used to be a black market. He brought Xuemei here to buy cloth and rice. At that time, they happened to encounter an inspection and were almost caught.
Thinking of that time, Ji Yanting's mouth curled up slightly. Although they were very poor at that time, they were really happy. If time could go back, he would not choose to go back to the city, he would stay here and accompany his wife and daughter.
Unfortunately, there is no if, he will never see the person he misses again.
Turning around and following the way he came, he walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Suddenly, Ji Yanting was hit by a wave of dizziness. He quickly held onto the wall, trying to steady himself, but everything in front of him was still dark.
"Dad!" Seeing this, Ji Yuanming ran over anxiously.
Ling Yao just turned into the alley and saw two people. One of them fainted. She hurried forward to check, only to find that they were the two people she met at the Chinese Medical Hall.
"Don't worry, I'll help him." Ling Yao put her hand on Ji Yanting's wrist and took his pulse.
Ji Yuanming saw Ling Yao's movements and knew that she knew medical skills. He supported Ji Yanting without saying a word.
"His emotions are too volatile. I can just give him two injections. My home is in the alley in front. You can carry him over." Ling Yao pointed to the front. It was a good thing that she wanted to take a shortcut here today, otherwise she would not have met them.
