Seeing Jin Xingqiu's incredulous expression, Su Ruyi turned her face away: "I'm sorry, Aunt... Master... did it for me."
Jin Xingqiu felt herself suddenly lose her balance, and she reached out to hold onto the wall: "No... I don't believe it..."
Large tears rolled down Su Ruyi's cheeks: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault."
"Blame you? He took the knife for you?" Jin Xingqiu felt dizzy.
The Jin family line has dwindled, leaving only her and her eldest brother alive.
They were not born to the same mother. Their father favored Jin Xingqiu's mother and passed on the Jin family's ancestral secret recipe to her.
It's a pity she studied Western medicine...
The Jin family's secret recipe ultimately proved useless.
Because of this secret recipe, the eldest brother resented their father and consequently disliked her as well.
However, she knew that her older brother was still worried about her.
After her husband passed away, she remarried and moved to Sanhe County. Her elder brother came to Dingjiatun, which is not far from Sanhe County, and became a village doctor.
Even after his apprentice Chu Liang'an completed her apprenticeship, she learned that her elder brother required Chu Liang'an to work near Sanhe County and not to go too far away.
Unfortunately, something very unpleasant happened later, and her older brother broke off all contact with her and Chu Liang'an.
Big brother... is he gone?
Was he murdered?
Jin Xingqiu felt that everything had become unreal.
Su Ruyi caught her as she was about to fall to the ground: "Master, the story of Master's murder is like this..."
Ten minutes later, Jin Xingqiu finished listening to Su Ruyi's account, as well as Ding Youliang and Ding Sihou's supplementary remarks. She remained silent for a long time.
Everyone fell silent.
Su Ruyi didn't know how to comfort her.
Su Ruyi knew very little about what had happened between her and her master.
It was only during that one boastful meeting that Su Ruyi realized that the relationship between the two siblings was not harmonious. There was a deep rift between them, which was probably related to the unfair treatment they received from their parents.
Su Ruyi was unsure of Jin Xingqiu's true feelings for her master, Jin Dachun, and was also afraid that she might say the wrong thing and deepen the rift between them.
Jin Xingqiu spoke up herself: "Ding Youliang, don't stand there, go back to bed and lie down."
"I'm all better!" Ding Youliang straightened his back for the first time, and he even jumped up and down a couple of times.
Just now, after Su Ruyi woke him up, he discovered that the pain that had tormented him for more than ten years had vanished!
Not only that, he felt more energetic than ever before!
Now, he can run all the way back to Dingjiatun in one go!
Jin Xingqiu looked at Su Ruyi again before asking, "Where is my elder brother's grave?"
"It's in a mountain behind the military base," Su Ruyi said.
It seems that Jin Xingqiu wants to visit the grave, which is only natural.
“My eldest brother has another disciple who is still alive, who is your second senior brother, do you know that?” Jin Xingqiu asked again.
“Yes, his name is Chu Liang’an. I think he works in Sanhe County, right?” Su Ruyi nodded and explained, “Master didn’t introduce me to this senior brother, so…”
"He hasn't spoken to Liang An for many years."
Jin Xingqiu chuckled self-deprecatingly, "He was too arrogant. Oh well, he's gone now, what's the point of talking about this? I'll call Liang An, you can tell him about my older brother."
Su Ruyi looked embarrassed: "Aunt, I'm so sorry, but...we have to go now. I have to rush to a place and then head back to Bingcheng. After I finish my business in Bingcheng, I'll come find you and take you and my second senior brother to pay respects to our master, okay?"
“You have something urgent to do? Then you go ahead and do your work.” Jin Xingqiu said, writing down her department’s phone number on a piece of paper and handing it to her. “When you come to Sanhe County, call me a day in advance so I can make an appointment with Liang An—so that I don’t make you come all this way for nothing because I’m on night shift or have surgery.”
"Okay, I understand, Aunt." Su Ruyi solemnly put the note away.
Just then, a clear male voice came from the end of the corridor: "Junior Sister!"
Jin Xingqiu turned around and her face lit up with joy: "Oh my, what a coincidence! Liang'an, come here!"
Everyone looked over and saw a refined-looking, slender man jog a few steps and come up to Jin Xingqiu. He pushed up his glasses and said, "Junior Aunt, I've found all the medicine you asked me to find. When are you going to pick it up?"
"Liang An, come here, let me introduce you. This is your junior sister, Su Ruyi."
Jin Xingqiu pointed at Su Ruyi, "Don't underestimate her just because she's young. She comes from a family with a long history of medical knowledge. We all thought that the Seven-Needle Technique was lost, but it was passed down in Dr. Su's family. Moreover, she cured General Shen's rare poison!"
Chu Liang'an looked at Su Ruyi.
He was thirty-four or thirty-five years old, with a very gentle and refined demeanor and soft eyes: "Junior Sister! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Then, she lowered her head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't know if Master will be angry if I call him that. He... he stopped acknowledging me a long time ago."
Su Ruyi had a very good impression of this second senior brother: "Second senior brother."
She looked at Jin Xingqiu.
It is more appropriate for my aunt to deliver the news of my master's death.
Jin Xingqiu cleared her throat: "Liang'an, your master is gone."
Chu Liang'an swayed a few times: "What did you say?!"
"Your master has been murdered." Jin Xingqiu sighed, and was about to explain in detail when Ding Honglei, accompanied by his henchmen, strode over menacingly.
Ding Honglei snorted coldly: "Ding Youliang, you better go back to Dingjiatun and stay there obediently. Let me tell you, the matter of the gun shooting is not over yet, and you are not to leave Dingjiatun anytime soon!"
Upon hearing this, both Ding Youliang and Ding Sihou showed expressions of relief.
Clearly, Ding Honglei consulted with someone, and Ding Youliang was released!
Then, Ding Honglei walked up to Su Ruyi and said, "Little girl, stop playing tricks on me! I really can't stand your behavior!"
Su Ruyi looked him straight in the eye: "Likewise!"
"You..." Ding Honglei was so angry he almost fell over backward. "Fine, fine! Su Ruyi, let me tell you, I know your background very well! What medical skills do you have? You're just a high school graduate! Your mother is a convict, and your father is a cripple! No one in your family has ever been a doctor in eight generations. You, a vagrant from Haicheng, have come to Dingjiatun to act as a miracle doctor?"
"Exactly, you think you're worthy?" The lackey glanced at Su Ruyi sideways, "Pah!"
Su Ruyi remained expressionless: "Are you done?!"
She had already noticed the deathly aura on Ding Honglei's face; this man's lifespan was nearing its end, so let him live a few more days!
