Lin Ye left the martial arts gym alone, enduring the pain, and walked to the medical clinic where he had bought medicine before.
When the doctor who had met him once before saw him again, something flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
the doctor asked.
Lin Ye walked to the counter and said, "Please give me a pen and paper. I will write a prescription myself. You can help me get the medicine."
The doctor said: "You can just say it, there is no need to write it down."
Lin Ye didn't say much, and spoke very quickly about more than a dozen medicinal herbs. After hearing this, the doctor turned around to get them, and they were all good.
After taking it, grind it all into powder according to the dosage Lin Ye said, mix it together and wrap it up.
"Where did you get this prescription?"
the doctor asked.
Lin Ye replied to him as he did last time: "ancestral tradition."
After taking the medicine and settling the money, Lin Ye turned around and walked out.
"Where did you get this prescription?"
The doctor's voice came from behind again, and he said the same thing. He seemed not to believe that this prescription was passed down from Lin Ye's ancestors.
When Lin Ye turned around to look at him, he found that the doctor was not at the counter. He seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
Then Lin Ye heard the sound of the door of the medical clinic closing. When he turned around, he saw that the doctor had already locked the door and looked at him with a half-smiling expression.
"I advise you to tell the truth."
The doctor walked towards Lin Ye step by step: "I have seen this prescription before. It belongs to my life and death enemy. Since it is in your hands, it must be related to my enemy."
When he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ye's neck. He was obviously a very gentle and even delicate man, but when his eyes glanced at Lin Ye's neck, they turned into cicada wings and sharp blades. It seemed that he could only swipe lightly.
A red line will appear on Lin Ye's neck.
One breath ago, he was a green and soft weeping willow, and the next breath, he turned into a bright and poisonous snake.
"You tell me where the person who gave you the prescription is, and you can go out safe and sound. If you don't tell me, you will probably suffer a lot, and everything will be worse than death."
Lin Ye was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then began to retreat, gradually retreating to the counter and leaning against it.
The doctor smiled: "Is it useful?"
Lin Ye didn't answer. He had always been like this and didn't want to say a word to people he didn't know well.
With people close to him, he would talk too much to the point where even he felt it was too much. His mother-in-law always disliked him and said that he was talkative.
But when his mother-in-law was in pain, he could only talk more and follow the example of other mothers-in-law in the village, tearing apart the family's shortcomings and crushing them into pieces.
People who are close to him don't really dislike him, they like him very much because he talks a lot, because that's what a young man looks like.
But now he has no one close to him.
He pulled out the stone blade that he had been hiding from his waist. He had no other weapons, and Yunzhou City had extremely strict weapons control.
This stone blade was polished by himself. It barely looked like a dagger, and he also managed to grind out a blood groove on the stone blade.
When the doctor saw the young man's defensive posture, it was like seeing a young tiger. Although it was not yet powerful enough to dominate the mountains and forests, it was born with the ability to show its fangs.
But a cub is just a cub. Its natural fangs have never seen blood or broken bones, so they are not yet powerful weapons.
"It seems that you are indeed close to my enemy, and you would rather die than say anything about it."
The doctor said: "I have had bad luck in my whole life. I have only had good luck twice, and this is the second time I met you."
He stepped forward again.
Lin Ye began to lower his body, shaking his shoulders slightly from side to side. There was no coldness on the stone blade, but there was ambition.
As the doctor approached, Lin Ye's stone blade stabbed the doctor's chest, but his hand stopped halfway.
As soon as the doctor pointed at Lin Ye's shoulder, Lin Ye's right arm seemed to have become useless in an instant.
The arm dropped, the stone blade fell, Lin Ye felt the soreness and numbness all over his body, and he had no strength at all.
With a soft popping sound, the doctor caught the stone blade and placed it against Lin Ye's heart.
"To be so weak."
The doctor seemed a little disappointed in his tone.
Lin Ye took a deep breath, and after regaining 23% of his strength, he pushed his chest forward fiercely and hit his stone blade with his heart. The doctor immediately retracted his hand.
He glared at Lin Ye: "You are crazy!"
Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I guessed correctly."
Doctor: "What did you guess correctly? You are smart!"
Lin Ye said seriously: "No one regards mother-in-law as an enemy."
The doctor was obviously stunned for a moment, then looked down at the stone blade in his hand, and handed it to Lin Ye after a moment: "Yes... my mother-in-law has no enemies."
Lin Ye corrected: "My mother-in-law has an enemy."
His words seemed somewhat contradictory.
A moment later, in the backyard of the hospital.
The yard is not big, and it is kept very clean and tidy. It looks like someone from my mother-in-law's house.
Everything is in a specific place, and there will never be a situation where you can't find this thing in someone else's house today and not find that thing tomorrow.
Everything is put back into its place after use, even long-lasting items like brooms and dustpans.
The yard is paved with blue bricks, which look to be about seven to eight times old, but there is not a single weed in the cracks between the bricks.
There is a stone table and four stone benches in the yard, which are almost identical to the stone table and benches in the yard of my mother-in-law's house.
Even the teapot and teacups placed on the stone table were exactly the same as those in my mother-in-law's house.
The doctor lowered his head and looked at the tea cup in his hand. The hot air hit his eyes and eyelashes, and tears soon condensed.
From time to time, one or two tears passed through the hot steam of the tea and fell into the cup. The gentle sound of the water told of longing.
"she......"
After a long time, the doctor finally had the courage to ask that question.
"How about leaving?"
Lin Ye also lowered his head and looked at the cup in the water.
He replied: "She looked peaceful when she left while sleeping, but you also know...she can only be truly peaceful after she leaves."
The doctor said softly: "When I was at my mother-in-law's house, she knew that I couldn't sleep well all night long."
He lowered his head and spoke as if talking to himself.
"She curled up in pain every night, but she gritted her teeth and kept silent, just for fear of waking me up."
"I also tried to pretend that I didn't know...my mother-in-law is such a strong person, loves cleanliness and beauty so much, and she doesn't want people to see her in such a miserable state."
"I......"
The doctor raised his head and looked at Lin Ye: "Do you remember all the massage techniques and prescriptions I left behind?"
Lin Ye nodded.
The doctor hummed and fell silent again. After a long time, he stood up, took two steps back, and then fell to his knees with a plop.
"Let me kowtow to you. You know my mother-in-law's suffering. You will be with her until the end."
Lin Ye stood up quickly, but the doctor shook his head at him: "In the last three years, you were by my mother-in-law's side. You did all the filial piety that we failed to fulfill. You can bear this."
Not long after, the two people sat quietly opposite each other again, but the heat in the cup of tea was gone, and neither of them took a sip.
"Have you...ever thought about killing your mother-in-law?"
The doctor suddenly asked.
Lin Ye replied: "I have been thinking about it for three years."
The doctor's expression changed and he lowered his head again: "Then... you are really suffering."
Lin Ye asked him: "Were you also driven away by your mother-in-law?"
The doctor shook his head: "Most of my mother-in-law's children were driven away by her. They are either grown up and can seek fame, or they have recovered and can move forward. My mother-in-law said, if you stay with me for a long time, you will lose your spirit and your fighting spirit.
You are so young. The farther you go and the higher you climb, the more people you can help. You have all seen that I can only help so much. Isn’t it because I am only so capable?"
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "My mother-in-law wants to drive me away too. She said you can't cure me, why don't you cure more people? She said there are many disabled people in Yunzhou City, and the men in armor will fight the thieves today and tomorrow."
Fighting foreign invaders, if you can save a man's life, your merits are immeasurable."
"But she couldn't drive me away. I was...I ran away on my own. I'm a coward. I only stayed with my mother-in-law for less than a year, and I couldn't bear the pain of that day."
The doctor picked up the teacup, but it was already cold.
"You were only ten years old when you came to live with your mother-in-law, but you stayed with her for three years."
Lin Ye replied: "Eleven."
After the doctor hummed, he took Lin Ye's arm and pulled up his sleeve. He frowned slightly when he saw the scars on Lin Ye's arm.
"I'll give you medicine."
He mixed the prepared medicinal powder with medicinal wine into an ointment, and while applying the medicine to Lin Ye, he asked: "Who is it?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "No one."
The doctor paused for a moment, lowered his head and said while applying the ointment: "My mother-in-law wrote me a letter. She said that you all should remember that if Xiao Yezi comes to find any of you in the future, whether he is looking for him intentionally or accidentally, can you give him some advice?"
Give whatever you want, give it all.”
Lin Ye was silent.
The doctor took a deep breath, applied medicine to Lin Ye's injuries and said, "So, who is it?"
Lin Ye still didn't answer.
The doctor asked again: "Clean the cattle strictly?"
Lin Ye looked at him and the doctor said: "I knew who you were when you came to me to get some medicine last time. That prescription was what I left for my mother-in-law."
Lin Ye said: "But when you were at your mother-in-law's house, her husband had been dead for a long time. She told me that she asked for this hangover prescription for her husband."
The doctor looked at Lin Ye just like that.
After a moment, Lin Ye felt relieved: "Yes... my mother-in-law cares so much about her husband. Even though he has been gone for many years, she still misses him."
The doctor said: "I asked you who hit you, but you refused to tell me, then let me ask you another thing... Are you sure you want to practice martial arts?"
Lin Ye nodded: "Yes."
The doctor asked again: "Are you practicing martial arts according to the medical books I left at my mother-in-law's house? Are you practicing acupoint recognition?"
Lin Ye nodded again. He was a little curious as to how the doctor guessed it. After all, his mother-in-law had a lot of books in her house.
Moreover, my mother-in-law has adopted hundreds of people, many of whom are Jianghu people. It is not necessary for him to practice martial arts based on those medical books.
The doctor seemed to see through what he was thinking and explained: "My mother-in-law probably doesn't allow you to practice kung fu, so if you want to practice kung fu, the only thing you can use is my few medical books. The only thing in the medical books that can help you is probably
The only way is to recognize the acupoints."
The doctor handed the remaining medicine to Lin Ye: "Starting from tomorrow, come to me every night."
Lin Ye leaned over to salute, but the doctor held him up: "No, you should never forget that you are my mother-in-law's youngest son, you are the youngest, but you will have to bear the kowtow of any of us, and you will bow to any of us."
, none of us can bear it.”
Lin Ye hummed and was about to leave. The doctor asked him again: "Why do you talk so little?"
Lin Ye stood there and looked at the doctor. After a long time, he smiled, then turned and left.
It was just a smile, it went away as quickly as it came.
However, because of his smile, the doctor's whole mood seemed to open up, as if he had arrived at the foreign pasture in an instant and saw thousands of miles of green plains and thousands of miles of sky.
"This guy... talks less and smiles less. It's a disease..."
