Su girl, do you usually study medicine at Uncle Huang's house? Is Uncle Huang strict with you? Don't you find it boring learning from him, since Uncle Huang is a serious and rigid person.
Su Xingran was a little confused by his question. Why didn't she understand any of what he was saying? Her master wasn't very strict with her; he always told her to balance work and rest. Learning from her master wasn't boring. He would tell her many medical anecdotes and cases he had encountered in his life.
As for her master's character, the issue of him being serious, rigid, or proper was even more unfounded. Where was he serious? Sometimes she saw him secretly smiling, though she didn't understand why. She also didn't find him rigid; he was quite humorous, though certainly very proper.
Little did Su Xingran know that besides treating his deceased wife this way, she was the second person her master treated. Towards others, he was always serious, strict, and rigid, often speaking earnestly about principles, giving the impression of a schoolteacher from the past.
My master only asked that I take things seriously. I didn't find him particularly serious; he was a very kind person. Learning medicine from him, I learned a lot. He taught me very diligently. He often told me that one should not give up halfway and should persevere despite difficulties. Anyway, I think my master is a very good person.
Well, the Uncle Huang he knew was completely different from the master Su Yatou spoke of. Uncle Huang's feelings for Su Yatou were probably not simply about having her learn medicine from him; he likely intended to groom her as his heir. Furthermore, he might have considered her more than just a disciple; he might have treated her like a granddaughter. He remembered that Aunt Gu loved girls very much. Having not given birth herself, she hoped her two sons could give her a granddaughter, but she never fulfilled this wish before she passed away. There wasn't a single girl in the Huang family, not even among his cousins.
Therefore, girls in the Huang family are highly valued. Only Su, the girl, is unknown to her master, who is grooming her as the heir to the Huang family's century-old medical tradition. He not only teaches her medical skills but also how to conduct herself in society; he is very dedicated to her.
I'll be staying at Uncle Huang's house for a long time from now on. I'm a veteran, and because of injuries to my hands, I can no longer hold a gun accurately. Knowing that this girl would find out about these things sooner or later, Duan Yuming told Su Xingran about his situation.
"So your injury hasn't healed yet? Did you come to see your master for treatment?" When Su Xingran first met Duan Yuming, she could tell from his physique, eyes, hairstyle, and aura that he was a soldier, but she didn't know that he was a soldier who had been discharged due to injury.
When Duan Yuming heard Su Xingran's concern for his injury, he smiled. "I'm fine. The injury healed over a year ago. Uncle Huang examined it and couldn't do anything about it. He's tried his best to keep my hand from being ruined, but it occasionally shakes, causing occasional tremors when I hold a gun and fire it off-target."
"I just got discharged from the army and don't know where to go, so I'm staying with Uncle Huang for a while." Duan Yuming said this with a touch of sadness. His family had been alone for a long time. After being discharged, he was also homeless because he was unmarried and living alone. Later, his superiors told him to come and find Uncle Huang and protect him until he returned to Beijing.
