They were certainly familiar with each other, having lived together for nearly four years. Under Linlang's care, the old priest was able to walk and take care of himself.
Before his death, the old priest held the hands of Linlang and her son tightly, thanking them for giving him warmth in his later years, allowing him to live a few more years with dignity and pass away peacefully.
The old chief priest said that if there was an afterlife, he would definitely recognize them and would accept Linlang's son as his disciple.
Linlang's eyes reddened as she recalled the past. "Old man, you forgot that you went to the Rong family in Liuhua Hutong two days ago. I am the daughter of the Rong family."
Oh, the old priest remembered, but, "Why do I always have an illusion that we seem to have known each other for two lifetimes?"
"Perhaps you and I are truly destined to be together." Linlang took out a silver needle to disinfect it. "Old man, I will give you acupuncture now."
"Okay, thank you."
The old priest's rheumatoid arthritis caused joint swelling and pain, and limited mobility. Traditional Chinese medicine alone was not enough; he needed a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
First reduce inflammation and relieve pain, then proceed to the next step of treatment.
After acupuncture, compresses, and taking the medicine specially prepared by Linlang, the old priest felt much better and his joints were no longer as painful as before.
Linlang took the silver needle and said, "The old man's arthritis needs effective treatment. I can only make him feel more comfortable now. This disease cannot be cured. He needs to rely on daily care. However, after I treat him for a few stages, I can guarantee that he will not have an attack for five or six years.
In addition to treatment, you should pay attention to your diet and live in a dry environment with plenty of sunlight."
"As long as we control the disease well, reduce the chances of it happening, and prevent it from becoming more serious, the elderly won't have to suffer so much."
Linlang wrote down the medical instructions, each one very detailed. "Young Master Zhao, please copy them again, in case the old priest forgets when he's busy. Someone should always remind him."
Once he started studying, he devoted himself to study and forgot to eat and sleep. Otherwise, his rheumatoid arthritis would not be so serious.
The old chief priest always had a sense of déjà vu when looking at the exquisite handwriting. He didn't dare to say it out loud, lest people mistakenly think he was a shameless old man.
"Linlang's medical skills are truly amazing. My leg pain has been relieved now."
The old chief priest was very fond of Linlang. "I had heard that Ning'er's stutter was cured by a young girl, but I didn't quite believe it. But then I saw Ning'er and heard him speak clearly. Although a little slower, it was much better than before."
"Given time, he'll be no different from a normal person." The old priest gave a thumbs-up. "Linlang is so young and has such high medical skills. You really can't judge a person by appearance. I'll leave these two legs to you, Linlang."
"Thanks for the old master's trust, Linlang will do her best." Linlang was very happy to be able to treat the old priest in advance, reduce his pain, and let him live more comfortably.
The old priest picked up the medical instructions written by Linlang, two pages in total, covering every detail. "Linlang's handwriting is very neat, which hides its sharpness. In fact, you are a free and easy person. I don't know what has bound you."
"Like your husband, Xiao Yushu, you're both suppressing your true self. Isn't that too tiring? You can't be too hasty about some things. Just as you might think you have no way out, there's always a new way forward."
"The old man taught me a lesson, and Linlang has learned his lesson."
Ever since she was reborn, she has been holding a string in her heart. She should relax a little. If the string breaks, all her efforts will be in vain.
Knowing that the old chief priest regretted not meeting Ah Mu, Linlang smiled and said, "When Ah Mu returns from the countryside, I will definitely come to visit you, old master. Please give me more advice."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old priest was going back to Beijing. "I'm afraid we won't be able to meet this time. Come to Linlang to treat your legs next time. It won't be too late to see you again."
The old chief priest knew that the boy was hiding from him. Otherwise, if it were any other student, he would have to rush back as soon as possible even if the road was winding.
The old priest suddenly felt a little lost. Has his reputation here become so bleak?
Linlang agreed, "Next time the old man comes, I'm afraid we'll have to go to Lu'er Town. Amu said that Lu'er Town has a good environment and is suitable for pregnancy."
"I heard that Lu'er Town is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I will definitely go and take a look."
If it weren't for his illness, the old priest would never have had time to leave the capital.
On the way back from saying goodbye to the old chief priest and the others, Linlang was in a good mood and hummed a song all the way back home.
Amu took the medicine box and asked, "Are you happy today?"
"Of course, saving the dying and healing the wounded can alleviate the patients' pain. I'm happy when they feel better." Linlang let Amu hold her hand and wash her hands and face. "This is the sense of accomplishment, right?"
Ah Mu laughed along, poured some water, and gave Linlang a massage. "I've told Dad and Fifth Brother about returning to Lu'er Town after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they have no objections. However, Fifth Brother will stay in the county with Dad. Dad has work to do, and Fifth Brother will wait for the Marquis to send a martial arts master, then he will practice here and take care of Dad."
"Mo'er, come back to Lu'er Town with us. He's so smart, the teachers in the county can't teach him. He said he wants to follow me."
Linlang smiled and said, "You are comparable to the teachers in the Imperial College. Mo'er is smart. He knows your strength and is of course willing to follow you."
Mo'er is a smart kid, I don't know whose child he is.
"Amu, you said Mo'er has been away from home for so long, doesn't his father suspect anything and doesn't send people to look for him?"
Amu sighed, "Mo'er must not be taken seriously, otherwise he would have disappeared for a month or two without anyone noticing. It's better for him to be with us than to stay at his house."
"It's the only way." Linlang felt sorry for Mo'er and already considered him a family member. "If he really goes back, I won't be able to let him go."
Ah Mu comforted Lin Lang, "Don't worry, we will stay by his side."
I hope it will be later, when Moer will have the ability to protect himself.
Linlang hadn't recalled her past life for a long time. She vaguely remembered that during that period in her past life, a five or six-year-old child floated in the river in Lu'er Town. When he was rescued, he was already dead. He was not a child from the town.
The child must have been very hungry, so he went to the river to catch some fish to eat. He couldn't swim at that time.
Linlang suddenly discovered that she was reborn and was surrounded by important people of extraordinary status, and the endings of their previous lives seemed to be quite tragic.
Fate brought them together and changed their lives. They can be said to be sticking together for warmth.
She still remembered that the emperor died of illness after being defeated in the Anchang Marquis' Mansion. Due to internal and external troubles, the Jing Dynasty was in turmoil. After three years of chaos, the fourth prince finally ascended the throne and became emperor.
Then Gu Yuanfang and Li Guangping rose to power, killing their father and brother, and leaving them homeless.
The Fourth Prince was not a competent king. He depended on Northern Qi for support. The people of Jing Dynasty were suffering, especially those living in the border areas.
In her new life, Linlang initially only wanted revenge and to give her child a complete family. But now, it seems she still has a lot to do.
Thinking that the old chief priest was a foodie in his previous life and was very picky about food, he must have felt uncomfortable because Amu deliberately avoided him.
Linlang took half of the remaining sausages at home, made some braised pork, and sent them to the county government office along with mooncakes as an apology.
