Chapter 368 Doctor Ma’s Last Words
After Zhao Anwei finished speaking, he asked someone to bring up a box and handed it to his younger sister with both hands.
Zhao Lingmeng saw that his second brother's face was not very good, so he asked while answering the phone, "What's inside?"
"Dr. Ma Da asked me to bring it to you."
Zhao Lingmeng's heart skipped a beat when she heard her second brother say this, and a bad feeling suddenly came over her. She gently placed the box on the dining table and didn't rush to open it.
Instead, he looked at Zhao Anwei again, "Where is Doctor Ma? Where did he go to find medicine?"
This was the last bit of fantasy in Zhao Lingmeng's heart. When Zhao Anwei said that it was Doctor Ma who brought the baby to their mother, Zhao Houjing and the other two looked at him curiously.
"He's dead. I'm sorry. My condolences." Zhao Anwei couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he said this. His younger sister had taught him her people, but he hadn't brought them back properly.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at her second brother's guilty expression and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself, second brother. Death is normal in a battlefield. I believe Doctor Ma didn't regret dying on the battlefield.
If there was any fault, it was my fault for instigating him to go to the border. How did Doctor Ma die?"
Zhao Anwei calmed down and spoke calmly, "Doctor Ma is a man. He came because there were too many wounded on the battlefield when we attacked Anyang, and we couldn't take care of them all. He went to the edge to drag the wounded soldiers, and in the chaos, he was shot in the vitals by an enemy arrow. He left because there was no one to save him."
I didn't get to see him for the last time. I only had the soldier next to me bring me his last words, asking me to bury him in Anyang, saying that it was actually his hometown, and then to bring this box to you."
"Doctor Ma is a hero." Zhao Houming interrupted after listening.
"Long Lingguo is really a piece of shit." Zhao Houjing had just returned from a place not far from the border. He had witnessed what a disaster war was for the people of Jingguo. He now hated Long Lingguo.
Zhao Houyang's emotions were more intense. Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming usually spent more time at school during the day, so they didn't have much contact with Dr. Ma. For them, there was not much sadness.
But Zhao Houyang was different. He usually stayed at the mansion with Yang Chengchen in the afternoons. After finishing the homework assigned by his mother, he would often go with Doctor Ma to see the medicinal herbs that Doctor Ma was growing. When he was in the mood, he would tell them some stories about his travels to collect herbs over the years.
So he couldn't be calm about it, but he didn't want to make his mother worry, so he pinched himself with his nails and echoed what his elder and second brothers said:
"Both the eldest and second brothers are right."
Zhao Lingmeng glanced at the three brothers and said nothing.
She carefully opened the small wooden box and saw a letter on the top and many bottles and jars underneath.
Zhao Lingmeng first took a bottle of medicine, glanced at the label on it, and carefully put it back. Then she picked up the letter on it. On the envelope was written a few large characters in Dr. Ma's flamboyant calligraphy: "Personally from Princess Funing"
Zhao Lingmeng carefully opened the letter and saw the words written on it:
"To Her Royal Highness Princess Funing, by the time you see this letter, the old man will probably be gone. Wars have been happening more and more recently, and the old man's left eyelid has been twitching again."
Suddenly I remembered the joke you made when we were still at the Princess's Mansion: "Left jumps bring wealth, right jumps bring disaster." So, this old man decided to write his suicide note today.
I think you must have felt really guilty when you heard the news of my death. After all, you are such a kind person.
Don't blame yourself. The old man hasn't told you yet, has he? Anyang is actually the old man's hometown. He grew up there, eating out at the village's various homes. Later, they pooled their money to let the old man learn this skill, and then drove him out to hang out. What kind people!
They are all gone, not even a single person is left to inherit his bloodline, and they all died so tragically. How can the old man not go back?
Speaking of which, I'd like to thank you for giving me this opportunity. Even if I can only kill one person in the chaos, I'd be happy. But I've already secretly poisoned many of Long Lingguo's bastards, and I've already made enough.
You said that the old man was going to go down and tell those uncles, aunts and uncles that the old man had avenged them. Would they be happy? The old man thought, no! Maybe the old man would get beaten up by everyone! After all, they are such kind people!
xiaoBut the little old man is happy, that's enough.
Over the past few years in your house, I've felt that, even though you don't say it, you treat me as an equal, a friend, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have given me so many good medicines.
I tell you all this just to tell you that I am leaving, don’t be sad!
Finally, I've found a doctor for you. He's my only good friend, and his medical skills are just as good as mine. I've also written to him. If you think he's a decent doctor, you can continue to use him!
There are also the two medical books that the old man left in the mansion. They were written by the old man himself. Let’s give them to Ruihe, the prince, and the third young master! The old man saw that they liked them.
As for the medicines in this box, they are all treasured by the old man over the years. I will give them all to you. I hope you will live a long and healthy life.
Okay, I have said everything I need to say. May the mountains be high and the rivers be long. See you in the next life!
Ma Gou Zi says goodbye here!
Hahaha, you don't know that this is the old man's real name!
Zhao Lingmeng watched with tears falling down, it turned out that Dr. Ma's life was so sad, but he only felt grateful in his heart.
Zhao Lingmeng finished reading the letter and folded it carefully.
Just as Zhao Houjing and his two brothers and Zhao Anwei were thinking about how to comfort their weeping mother and sister, they heard Zhao Lingmeng say with a choked voice, "Let's set up a memorial tablet for Doctor Ma in the Princess's ancestral hall! Burn some food for him so he can have a better life in the afterlife."
Zhao Ling dreamed that Doctor Ma might still be supporting his uncles, aunts and cousins down there, and he was afraid that his life would be difficult if the fever was not enough.
The first one to be confused must be Zhao Anwei. Why did he have to enter the ancestral hall just to read a letter?
"Okay, I'll cook for him myself when the time comes. I know what Doctor Ma likes to eat." Zhao Houyang was the first to agree. In his heart, Doctor Ma was just like an elder.
Zhao Houming also nodded. He was Zhao Lingmeng's sweetheart. As long as it was Zhao Lingmeng's decision and it did not hurt Zhao Lingmeng, he would agree.
Seeing that his two younger brothers agreed, Zhao Houjing also nodded as he now admired Doctor Ma very much and thought that such a person was worthy of being admitted into their family's ancestral hall.
Zhao Anwei wanted to say something, but when he saw the other person's attitude, he had no room to speak, so he swallowed his words of objection.
