Miraculously, Yin Mengmeng, who was originally melancholy, smiled.
"Yin Mengmeng, don't laugh. Do you still remember why you chose to become an itinerant doctor?" Xu Nian looked up, a hint of unease appearing on her usually stern and serious face.
Knowing that Xu Nian was trying to comfort her, Yin Mengmeng stopped smiling.
When asked about her initial motivation for becoming a traveling doctor, her expression visibly saddened.
“Xu Nian, do you know? I am an orphan. An old female doctor found me and raised me. She took me as her apprentice and taught me medicine and ways to make a living, but I am very stupid and I can never learn well.”
"The old female doctor is a very gentle person, but sometimes she can be very short-tempered. However, she treats me like her own daughter."
"I thought she would stay with me for a long time, but in the end she personally drove me away."
"When I returned home with the money I had earned, she had already been laid to rest, and grass had grown on her grave."
"The village chief who helped her with her funeral said that she knew she was about to die, which is why she kicked me out."
"Xu Nian, why won't she let me see her off?" Yin Mengmeng finished her rambling, tears welling up in her eyes.
"She doesn't want you to feel guilty or blame yourself, does she?" Xu Nian's eyes became complicated.
The greatest fear for a medical student is failing to save the person they care about most.
This would make her doubt her abilities, doubt everything she has learned, and then completely ruin her life.
The old female doctor knew her own body well and didn't want Yin Mengmeng to witness her death, so she thought of driving her away.
There will be regrets, but after the regrets, Yin Mengmeng can still continue to be a female doctor and continue to help people see doctors.
"That's what the old village chief told me too; she really loves me."
"I travel around practicing medicine because I want to do more good deeds. This way, I can accumulate more merit for her and make her life easier in the afterlife." Yin Mengmeng sniffed, wiped away her tears, and revealed a bright smile.
Xu Nian didn't speak. Yin Mengmeng said so much because these things had been weighing on her mind for too long.
The words that had nowhere else to be spoken have now found someone to confide in.
"Xu Nian, my master would be very happy to see me like this!"
Yes, it will.
Having received a reassuring answer, Yin Mengmeng vaguely saw the old female doctor who had raised her encouraging her.
[Mengmeng, go out! A woman's life shouldn't be confined to her husband and children. We can also see the vast and boundless world, see mountains and rivers, admire a hundred flowers blooming, and witness the magical golden sunset.]
