Chapter 68 Master and Disciple Reunion
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment. Lin Shuo covered his mouth and laughed secretly, looking at Lin Qian and Qu Lingxiao with ambiguous eyes.
Lin Qian glared at Lin Shuo.
Qu Lingxiao smiled and said to Lin Qian, "My master has always been like this, always outspoken. I hope you can forgive me for any offense, Miss Lin."
"No need, it's just a joke. Okay, let's go and take a break now, we'll be busy soon." Lin Qian said, then pulled Lin Shuo away.
What Lin Qian said was indeed true. In the middle of the night, seventy or eighty doctors received the medicinal materials and white, black and red cloths sent by the county magistrate, and then began to divide the work and cooperate to tie ribbons for the patients.
Lin Qian was also among them.
After working all morning, Lin Qian actually met a child who did not have the plague. He was wearing a thick coarse linen shirt, and his whole body was wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. There was also a smell of alcohol on his body.
"You don't have the plague, why were you sent here?" Lin Qian asked him with a frown. The child didn't say anything, but just stared blankly.
Lin Qian pushed it, and he asked again.
This time, he suddenly raised his face, looked at Lin Qian, and then blinked twice.
"Master?"
The eyes and voice were very familiar, and Lin Qian immediately recognized that it was Xu Jingcheng.
"Jing Cheng? Why are you here? Why are you here?" Lin Qian asked in surprise.
After they returned from the Western Regions, Lin Qian wanted Xu Jingcheng to go back to visit his family since he had been away from home for so long, but she didn't expect that war would break out that night.
He didn't expect to meet Xu Jingcheng here.
Xu Jingcheng hugged Lin Qian tightly and burst into tears. He choked and said, "Brother, brother is dead! I am all alone. Master, I am scared."
Xu Chengde is dead?
Lin Qian comforted Xu Jingcheng for a moment, then asked, "Chengde, how did he die?"
Xu Jingcheng is a genuine eleven-year-old child. His brother who escaped with him has passed away. He is alone in an unfamiliar place and must be feeling uneasy.
After receiving Lin Qian's comfort, Xu Jingcheng sobbed and told the story again: "During the war, my elder brother and I were in the clinic together, so we did not flee with our family.
Later we followed the main group to Hejian Prefecture. My eldest brother said that Hejian Prefecture was close to Yuzhou and it was the capital of medicine, so he wanted to settle down here.
As soon as we arrived in Yuzhou City, we met several people suffering from the plague. My eldest brother thought they had caught a cold, so he treated them.
He ended up getting infected, and because he was older, he died within two days, leaving me alone.”
Lin Qian sighed. If Xu Chengde had not run here, but stayed in Hejian Prefecture honestly, he probably would not have died.
It’s the time and the fate.
"Okay, don't cry. Now that you have met your master, I will not abandon you." Lin Qian said to Xu Jingcheng.
"Okay, I'll listen to Master."
After meeting Xu Jingcheng, Lin Qian continued to tie ribbons on the patient, and with Xu Jingcheng's help, she finished it quickly.
"Master, Shuo Shuo, look, I met Jingcheng." Lin Qian pulled Xu Jingcheng back to where the doctor was stationed. When she saw Meng Yi and Lin Shuo from afar, she shouted happily.
"Jingcheng, is it really you? Are you okay? Also, why are you here?" Lin Shuo ran over and asked.
"Master Uncle Shuo Shuo, Master Grandfather, my elder brother, my elder brother is gone!" Xu Jingcheng pouted again when he saw Meng Yi and Lin Shuo, but this time he held back his tears.
Meng Yi comforted him for a few words, then shook himself. Lin Qian quickly supported him: "Master? What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just haven't stayed up late for a long time. I feel a little tired after staying up all day and night. Just help me to rest for a while." Meng Yi waved his hand and said.
"Okay, Shuo Shuo, you take good care of Jing Cheng, I'll take the master back to the room to rest." Lin Qian said, and then found a bed for Meng Yi to sleep on.
With the prescription, things will be easier.
After the county magistrate learned about this, he sent forty yamen runners to help.
Gather all the dead together, cremate them, and then sprinkle wine on the ground to disinfect it.
The doctors were divided into three groups to start boiling the medicine. After it was boiled, they sent it to the people with the corresponding ribbons tied around their necks to drink.
Three times a day, by the next morning, it was obvious that the conditions of all the surviving patients had improved a lot.
This is also thanks to the cold spring water. It turns out that as long as the medicine is suitable for the symptoms, adding cold spring water can achieve better results.
Qu Nan smiled and said, "Old Meng! You're amazing. Look, their illnesses healed so quickly. It's all thanks to you."
Meng Yi has been busy these days, and his already poor health has made him even weaker. He looks a little pale at this moment.
"Don't talk about useless things. Hurry up and boil the medicine. If no one's condition gets worse after three days, it proves that this medicine is effective. I guess we can get out soon." Meng Yi glared at Qu Nan and said with a smile.
"You're right."
"Master, are you tired? Let me help you?" Xu Jingcheng looked at Lin Qian who was fanning herself and found that she was sweating, so he asked.
Lin Qian shook her head: "I'm fine, you also have the stove to look after, so don't worry about me."
Xu Jingcheng then nodded and went to look at his own stove seriously.
Qu Lingxiao glanced at Xu Jingcheng, then asked Lin Qian, "Is this your apprentice? He looks about the same age as us."
Lin Qian nodded, and then told him about her acquaintance with Xu Jingcheng and Xu Chengde.
"I see. Fortunately, you took action."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, if it were me, I would probably have to be their master-uncle." Qu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.
Lin Qian looked at him and said unconvincedly, "Why? Why should I be the master and you should be the grandmaster? Do you want to take advantage of me?"
Qu Lingxiao blinked his eyes and said innocently, "That's not what I meant. You said that yourself."
After taking a deep breath, Lin Qian withdrew her gaze. She originally thought that Qu Lingxiao was a handsome gentleman who loved to smile, but she didn't expect that he was the same as his master.
Should we really say that it is worthy of being passed down from generation to generation?
Over there, Qu Nan had been paying close attention. He then turned to Meng Yi and chuckled, "Old Meng, look how happy they are chatting! What do you think? Do you agree with my earlier proposal?"
Meng Yi glanced at Lin Qian, but he didn't see that the two of them were having a happy chat.
"Don't ask me. Her parents and elders are all here. It's not my turn to decide on her marriage."
"Oh, what a pity!" Qu Nan's face was full of regret.
Meng Yi looked at Qu Nan's face, raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you planning to use some tricks? Seeing that your apprentice can't beat mine, you want your apprentice to marry my apprentice?"
"You're talking nonsense! Am I that kind of person?"
"You are."
Qu Nan was speechless for a moment. Meng Yi looked at his expression and stood up laughing.
"Old Meng! What's wrong with you?"
When Lin Qian heard Qu Nan's voice, she looked up and saw Meng Yi's body soften and fall to the ground.
