Chapter 36 The Master-Disciple Relationship Ends Here
The night was hazy, and the environment outside the city was eerily quiet.
Gou Zhiyou and Zong Zong accompanied him all the way to the Imperial Hospital. Apart from Xu Ren'er and his group, there was no one else to be seen.
Xu Ren'er: "During the two days of your competition, has Zong Zong always been alone in this gloomy environment?"
Gou Zhiyou looked embarrassed, patted his brown head, and said, "We are really short of money. The remaining money is only enough to buy some food. The price of staying in an inn is a bit extravagant for us. What's more, you also know that the prices in Jiucai Country have been rising recently..."
And I was afraid that when I was not around, Zongzong would suddenly be taken away by someone else. For various reasons, I decided to let Zongzong stay here.
I've observed that this suburb is almost deserted, with few wild animals to be seen, so the safety of the town is guaranteed."
Xu Ren'er understood and said nothing more.
He successfully arrived at the Imperial Hospital and met every imperial physician with Zong Zong. However, all his hopes were dashed. Every imperial physician shook his head, indicating that they were powerless.
"Don't be too discouraged. Now that we've seen it, we won't just ignore it. We'll work together to find a way to rescue Tantan."
Xu Ren'er comforted him.
Gou Zhiyou glanced at Xu Ren'er and forced a stiff smile.
He said slowly, "Thank you! I won't give up any hope of saving Zong Zong."
——
With her bare hands, she lit the wick of the oil lamp, and Mu Shuangyan covered the wick with the lamp, and the room was filled with light.
"Qiuyue, it's almost time to change the medicine. Please wait for a moment. I'll go to the pharmacy to get you some medicine!"
Mu Shuangyan walked out of Tang Qiuyue's room. At this moment, the sky had turned dark and the courtyard was full of bright lights.
There was a short distance from Tang Qiuyue's room to the pharmacy. Mu Shuangyan walked quickly and met Liu Roulei and Nie Erfeng walking side by side and heading towards her.
Mu Shuangyan and Liu Roulei looked at each other, their eyes rolling, and they stood straight, as if time had been extended.
Mu Shuangyan was in a trance for a moment, as if Liu Roulei was still the stubborn disciple in her memory, and she was still the high-spirited and casual master.
"Why aren't you moving?"
Nie Erfeng continued walking forward, and suddenly felt something was wrong beside her. She turned her head and saw that Liu Roulei was gone. She immediately looked around and found that Liu Roulei was standing behind her motionless. She couldn't help but ask.
"Sorry, I was distracted for a moment."
Liu Roulei came to her senses, quickly apologized, and ran towards Nie Erfeng, while Mu Shuangyan was suddenly awakened by Nie Erfeng's voice.
She smiled at Liu Roulei, bowed slightly, and then walked forward without looking around.
The two of them walked in opposite directions without hesitation and passed each other.
In the haze, some things have already begun to change quietly.
The former apprentice has now become an outstanding martial artist, famous and with a bright future; but the former master's martial arts journey was ended early, and now he is a murderer living in the dark.
"Wait a moment."
Liu Roulei suddenly turned around and called out to Mu Shuangyan.
Mu Shuangyan's heart moved. She turned around without changing her expression and asked with a faint smile, "Excuse me, young lady, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Liu Roulei stared at her intently, watching her from beginning to end.
So similar! Liu Roulei thought to herself.
Obviously, their body shapes are completely different, their looks are even more different, and even their temperaments are quite different.
The woman in front of her was not good-looking, but her temperament was gentle, like an ink painting. However, the one she knew was arrogant and unrestrained, with a stunning appearance, like a wild horse running freely on the lawn.
It can't be her!
But why? Liu Roulei was filled with doubts.
Why did she feel that the woman in front of her looked so much like her master?
"girl?"
Seeing that Liu Roulei had been silent, Mu Shuangyan called out another sentence tentatively.
"It's okay. Sorry to bother you, I mistakenly thought you were an old friend."
Liu Roulei shook her head, cleared her mind of thoughts, and bowed to express her apology.
It couldn't be her! She was already dead. She had spent the whole night with that person's head.
Thinking of this, Liu Roulei's tears fell uncontrollably to the ground. The sudden flashback of memories made her emotions fluctuate slightly. Her tear incontinence physique, which had been trained, instantly began to exert its potential.
"No problem. I'll be leaving now."
Mu Shuangyan turned around quickly and walked towards the pharmacy as if there was a ferocious beast chasing her from behind, and she didn't dare to stay for a moment.
She clearly saw Liu Roulei's tears, and she knew very well why Liu Roulei was crying, but she chose to turn a blind eye.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to recognize Liu Roulei, but her life is about to end, how can she recognize her?
Liu Roulei had already experienced the feeling of losing her. When they met again, she learned that she was about to die. She lost her and found her again, and then lost her again. This was too cruel for Liu Roulei.
It’s better to let this master-disciple relationship end here!
Mu Shuangyan thought to herself: Her apprentice already has his own path to pursue, and he also has good friends to accompany him. He will definitely live a good life in the future, and that is enough.
——
After successfully getting the necessary medicine from the pharmacy, Mu Shuangyan came out of the pharmacy and found three figures in front of her.
She looked closely and saw that the three figures were Xu Ren'er, Mo Youli, and a strange man who was holding a pitiful puppy in his arms.
She observed their expressions carefully and found that they were frowning.
What happened? Mu Shuangyan thought to herself.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to go up to them, say hello, and ask about the situation.
"Shuangyan, it's you!"
Xu Ren'er looked up, found Mu Shuangyan, and shouted quickly.
"What's wrong with you? You look sad."
Mu Shuangyan asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Xu Ren'er told her everything about Gou Zhiyou.
"Damn! I didn't expect that there are so many doctors here, but none of them can cure Zongzong's illness." Xu Ren'er spread his hands and complained.
It turned out to be because of this tan puppy!
Mu Shuangyan: "Can I help Zong Zong? I know a little bit about medicine, maybe I can help."
Xu Ren'er glanced at Gou Zhiyou's expression. Seeing that Gou Zhiyou didn't show any dissatisfaction, he said with relief, "Of course, it's possible. But so many doctors here are at a loss. Are you sure you can do it?"
As soon as the voice fell, Mo Youli, who had been silent throughout the whole meeting, suddenly spoke up and said to Xu Ren'er: "Let her try. I think she should be able to succeed."
Just now, his perception ability suddenly began to function, and he predicted that Mu Shuangyan's medical skills were excellent and could completely cure Zong Zong's illness.
only……
Mo Youli stared silently at Mu Shuangyan's back with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
His perception also told him that Mu Shuangyan's life was rapidly fading and she might not live for more than a month.
What's going on? What happened to Mu Shuangyan?
Mo Youli couldn't help but frown.
Mu Shuangyan picked up one of the brown dog's paws and carefully checked its pulse. She stopped from time to time and asked Gou Zhiyou a few questions.
"The root of this disease can be removed."
When these words were spoken, Gou Zhiyou's eyes lit up.
"real?!"
Mu Shuangyan smiled lightly and began to lie about her own experience: "There was someone in the mansion who was in a similar situation to Zong Zong. He was poisoned by this poison. Although the poison was cured, he was left with a root cause of the disease.
This man was kind to my father, so my father searched for famous doctors for him. It happened that a doctor who traveled all over the country passed by here and solved the root cause of his illness for him. He also kindly left a prescription.
I vaguely remember the contents of the prescription. I'll write it down for you after I change Qiuyue's medicine."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Gou Zhiyou's eyes were filled with tears, and he began to thank Mu Shuangyan repeatedly.
"No need to thank me! It's just a small matter. I'm honored to be able to help in some small way."
Zongzong seemed to know that he was saved. Although he was weak, his tail kept shaking in the air.
"It's not a good idea to stay here all the time. It's better to accompany Shuangyan and quickly help Qiuyue change the medicine. Once the matter is resolved, Shuangyan will have time to write a prescription."
Seeing Gou Zhiyou and Mu Shuangyan thanking and declining each other repeatedly, Mo Youli quickly interrupted them and reminded everyone not to waste any more time.
——
In Tang Qiuyue's room.
"This is the recipe."
Mu Shuangyan picked up the pen, wrote the content word by word, and handed it to Gou Zhiyou.
The handwriting was not dry yet and the paper was still a little moist. Gou Zhiyou took it carefully, looked at the content carefully, and read it out.
"Panlong grass, Ziwen flower..."
"The medicinal herbs described in it are not expensive, so you can go to the pharmacy to get them without worry. If you are short of silver, you can give this prescription to any imperial physician and ask them to test it on Zong Zong. I don't think they will refuse."
Mu Shuangyan said in a gentle voice.
Hearing this, Gou Zhiyou hesitated: "Don't you care if this prescription gets leaked?"
Mu Shuangyan quietly glanced at Tang Qiuyue, who was lying flat on her back beside her, and said in a high-sounding manner, "A good medicine is one that can help the patient. There's no point in hiding it and enjoying it alone."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Qiuyue looked at Mu Shuangyan with sparkling eyes, just as she expected.
Mu Shuangyan was secretly happy, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Alright, alright! Now that we've finished our work, we should leave. Qiuyue still needs to rest."
Xu Ren'er spoke up and began to persuade.
The others reacted and said goodbye to Tang Qiuyue, leaving the room in an orderly manner.
"Qiuyue, have a good rest and have a sweet dream!"
Before leaving, Xu Ren'er said to Tang Qiuyue with a smile.
Tang Qiuyue: "I know, I know. You guys should leave quickly! Oh, and remember to send Shuangyan back home first. It's not safe for her to go back alone at night."
A group of people left the Imperial Hospital together. Gou Zhiyou planned to take Zong Zong back to the dilapidated temple outside the city. Mo Youli and Xu Ren'er planned to go back to the inn after sending Mu Shuangyan off and take a refreshing shower.
"Let's separate here!"
At the gate of the Imperial Hospital, Gou Zhiyou took Zong Zong to say goodbye to them, and then disappeared into the shadows without any reluctance.
"Let's go. Shuangyan, where do you live? Please show me the way."
Xu Ren'er watched Gou Zhiyou's figure go away, then turned and said to Mu Shuangyan.
They were silent all the way. Mo Youli looked at Mu Shuangyan frequently, wanting to say something but stopping himself. It was difficult for Mu Shuangyan to ignore him.
"Mr. Mo, do you have anything to say to me?"
Seeing that Mu Shuangyan asked in person, Mo Youli hesitated for a moment, but still asked tactfully:
"Miss Mu, how much do you know about your own lifespan?"
