From Su Jinyao's mouth, Linlang and the others finally realized that Su Jinyao had done many nasty things in the past. Of course, he had never intended to harm anyone. The snake he threw in front of the young master was non-venomous, just to scare him.
Unexpectedly, the young master fell ill for several days. Su Jinyao felt very guilty and wanted to apologize to the young master, but he had already set off to Northern Qi as a hostage.
"If we hadn't been defeated that year, the young master wouldn't have been sent to Northern Qi as a hostage. He was such a brilliant and talented man, he shouldn't have died."
Su Jinyao sat dejectedly on the ground, his eyes red, trying hard not to let the tears fall.
Everyone was in a heavy mood. Amu looked up at the sky. Linlang thought that he might be thinking about his own life experience and felt the same way.
Linlang never expected that the young master whom her son admired would die in this way. If she were allowed to go to the border, she would definitely be able to save the young master.
But it's too late now, the person is already dead.
"Master Su Si, the young master is dead. What about the people who served him? Did they get infected with smallpox?"
Su Jinyao laughed sarcastically, "Smallpox is an incurable disease. How could Jingguo allow such a terrible disease to enter the border? The young master hasn't returned to his homeland yet, so of course everyone around him must accompany him."
He even suspected that the young master was murdered. He said so in the villa last night, and Song scolded him.
Rong Bowen comforted everyone, "Although the young master is dead, the people of Jing Kingdom will always remember him. It was he who brought a few years of peace to Jing Kingdom. Some things are beyond the power of ordinary people like us. Fourth Master Su should also be careful with his emotions and not let those with ulterior motives take advantage of him."
Although he had only met Su Jinyao twice, Rong Bowen could see that Su Jinyao was a pure person who would not tolerate any injustice.
Su Jinyao smiled bitterly, "I have no place to vent, so I dare to do this only at Uncle Rong's house."
Young masters of a marquisate like them have always been cautious in their words and actions, and any mistake will give rise to gossip.
Because of the young master's matter, everyone was in a low mood. It took a long time before Su Jinyao realized that there was an extra person in the house.
He looked at Amu who was wrapped in gauze, "Who is this?"
Rong Bowen quickly introduced him, "I brought him back from the county. There was a fire at home and he was burned. Linlang is a good doctor, so let her treat him. Let me introduce him to the Fourth Young Master. His name is Xiao Yushu."
Su Jinyao stared at Amu. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before. "Scholar?"
Yes, just like the young master, he exudes the elegance of a scholar.
Ah Mu raised his hand and said, "Greetings, Fourth Young Master. I have studied for a few years, but I am still just a student."
Perhaps out of guilt towards the young master, Amu's temperament was somewhat similar, and Su Jinyao was particularly good-tempered to him, "My sister is a very good doctor, she will definitely be able to cure you, don't worry, it won't delay the autumn exam."
"Well, I have confidence." Linlang is his salvation, not only in terms of physical health, but also in terms of mental health.
Ah Mu smiled and said to Su Jinyao, "Fourth Young Master, there's no need to feel so guilty. Since you think the young master is so good, how could he possibly blame you? Perhaps he wasn't frightened into falling ill by you, but there's another reason."
However, this did not comfort Su Jinyao. "Even if he doesn't blame me, I feel sorry for him."
Perhaps, this will be something he will never be able to forgive himself for in his entire life.
Only he can come to terms with this matter and reconcile with himself.
Now that Amu has a household registration, he can walk out of the room openly and walk around wrapped in gauze.
Rong Bowen and Rong Yi also introduced Amu to their neighbors, describing his pitiful life story and gaining a lot of sympathy.
Mo'er has become friends with the children around him, playing games and telling stories with them. However, he can only go out to play at designated times and usually has to practice martial arts and read at home.
Linlang went to the blacksmith shop to pay the balance of two taels of silver, and took back the tools needed for the operation. She also bought all the medicinal materials from Doctor Wang. Everything was ready, and she was about to perform the operation on Amu.
The parents put on the surgical gowns that Aunt Liu from next door helped make for them. Rong Bowen was assisting in the surgery today.
Linlang brought a bowl of Ma Fei Tang to Amu, "Amu, take a nap and it will be over when you wake up."
Amu gulped down the medicine in one gulp, demonstrating his trust with his actions. Then, he lay down on the operating table, "Linlang, I leave it to you."
"good."
Amu only felt that Linlang's smile became more and more blurred, and finally fell into darkness, but this time he was not afraid at all, because it was Linlang who was with him.
It was the first time that Rong Bowen witnessed how powerful his daughter was. She attacked without hesitation, and her movements were so skillful, as if she had practiced it thousands or even tens of thousands of times.
Even after rehearsing with his daughter for the past two days, Rong Bowen was still shocked when he actually stepped onto the operating table. His daughter was truly different.
The operation started in the morning and lasted until the afternoon. Rong Yi, Su Jinyao and Mo'er were sitting outside, feeling uneasy. They would look into the operating room from time to time, hoping that someone would come out.
Song learned from Su Jinyao that Linlang was going to treat a patient today, so she brought Li Ma and others to Rong's house. Since there was no one to cook, they simply bought food from the restaurant and sent it over.
At such a tense time, no one had the heart to eat, as they were worried about the people in the operating room.
There was no other way, so Song asked Li Ma to heat the food in the pot and wait for Linlang and the others to come out and eat together.
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, Rong Bowen opened the door and walked out. "I'm sorry to have worried you all. The operation was a success. As long as Ah Mu can get through the infection in these three days, he'll be fine."
"That's great." Rong Yi and Su Jinyao picked up Mo'er, and the three of them hugged each other tightly. They were happy for Amu. He would no longer be afraid of going out and scaring others.
Seeing her three children so happy, Mrs. Song was also happy for Amu, whom she had never met before, and hoped that he would recover soon.
Su Jinyao had changed a lot since he came into contact with the Rong family, especially the death of the young master, which had a particularly great impact on him. After being depressed for so long, it was the first time he smiled, and Song Shi also smiled.
Inside the house, Linlang stayed by Amu's side, whispering in his ear, "Amu, wake up quickly, don't sleep anymore."
"Amu, it's Linlang, wake up quickly~"
Trapped in darkness, Ah Mu found himself shrinking, reduced to his twelve-year-old self. He saw someone whipping him, someone grinning hideously, wielding a sharp dagger, and a red-hot iron getting closer and closer to his face...
The scene was the same: the disgusting old man smiled obscenely at him, rubbing his hands, and reaching out to him...
"Amu, don't be afraid, Amu, you still have me, I am Linlang."
"Amu, you are very brave..."
Linlang, Linlang.
Little Amu pushed the wretched old man in front of him away and ran towards the light outside the door, "Linlang, Linlang~"
"I'm here, Amu, I'm here."
Ah Mu slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Lang holding his hand tightly. He closed his eyes with peace of mind. Lin Lang, it's great to meet you in this life.
