Chapter 81 An unexpected surprise

"Okay, okay! Dad will cooperate well."

Lin Maosheng immediately responded with a smile. At this time, he seemed to really see hope of getting better.

"Why are you so cooperative?"

The father and daughter were talking and laughing here, and suddenly a loud male voice came from the door.

The father and daughter raised their heads when they heard the sound, and were stunned for a moment when they saw the person who came in through the door.

The visitor was none other than Xu Changsheng, who had been struggling at home for several days.

He originally planned to come here today to return the ginseng from the forest seedlings. After all, he was not rewarded for his efforts, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a scene when he came over.

Lin Miao's heart suddenly thumped,

When she dug ginseng before, she used the excuse of reading books to learn on her own, but how to explain the acupuncture method now?

He also said that he could find the correct acupuncture points after reading them in a book?

If she dares to say it, Grandpa Xu must believe it!

Before he could think of a safe way, Lin Miao couldn't keep silent, so he had no choice but to say hello with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Xu, you..." Why are you here when you are free?

"Stop talking and continue!"

But she didn't expect that before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Grandpa Xu with a serious look on her face.

Lin Miao was stunned by his attitude, but when she thought that the treatment was already halfway through, it really wasn't easy to interrupt it, otherwise she wouldn't know how much more time it would take, so she was heartbroken.

Forget it, since everything has been broken, let's leave it like this. Even if there is anything, we will wait until the treatment is over!

Thinking like this, Lin Miao abandoned all external interference and concentrated on treating Lin Maosheng...

But I have to say that Lin Miao felt a lot more relaxed because of Grandpa Xu's cooperation.

Often when she was about to take something, Grandpa Xu would already prepare it and hand it to her.

The feeling was extremely magical, as if the two had developed a tacit understanding through countless cooperations.

Lin Miao was full of doubts and wanted to ask, but it was difficult to speak in front of her father, so she could only suppress all the doubts in her heart.

Two hours passed by and by the time the treatment was over, Lin Miao's body was soaked with sweat.

Lin Maosheng also fell into a deep sleep due to the effect of the medicine.

Lin Miao got up and was about to help him go to bed to rest, but Grandpa Xu stopped her and said with a serious face,

"You go change your clothes first and leave this to me. You can come to me in the yard later. I have something to tell you!"

Lin Miao: "..."

I'm coming!

Although I felt uneasy, thinking about having to face it sooner or later, I nodded.

"Okay, Grandpa Xu, I'll excuse you. I'll be here soon!"

…………

After Lin Miao finished mentally building up, she saw Mr. Xu standing in the yard with a complicated expression.

"You come with me!"

Mr. Xu only said one sentence, and then he led the way with his hands behind his back, minding his own business.

"..."

Although Lin Miao was full of doubts, she felt guilty and had to follow obediently.

This walk lasted half an hour, during which the two of them had their own thoughts and didn't say a word until they arrived at Grandpa Xu's house.

Mr. Xu took her to the innermost room, took out the key and unlocked the door.

‘Creak—’ the door opened with a sound.

At this moment, Lin Miao suddenly felt as if a secret that had been sealed for many years was about to be revealed to him.

…………

In the empty room, there was only a painting on the wall and a table for worship.

The portrait shows a middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and a temperament like orchid. She has a calm and peaceful aura that almost hits her face through the scroll.

For some reason, Lin Miao felt vaguely familiar when she saw this woman, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

Just as she was thinking about it, Grandpa Xu's voice sounded,

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted me to teach you medical skills? I agreed. The portrait in front of you is my master. If you give her a stick of incense, it will be regarded as a formal apprenticeship!"

"!!"

Lin Miao's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.

Nani?!

She had tried so hard before to get him to let go, but now she was allowed to become his disciple directly?

Seeing Lin Miao's delay in making any move, Mr. Xu immediately frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"Why don't you want to?"

"No, I just felt it was a bit sudden. I was too happy for a moment, so I didn't react. Grandpa Xu, didn't you say that this is a family education that is not passed down to others? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"So much nonsense! Those are my business, you just say goodbye or not! How can I still harm you?"

"..."

Lin Miao was choked heavily, but when she thought that after becoming a disciple, she could legitimately show off her medical skills, how could she have so many worries, so she nodded immediately,

"Bye! Of course!"

As he finished speaking, he reached out to pick up three sticks of incense, lit the incense and kowtowed on his head. The whole set of actions was done in one go, as if he was afraid that Grandpa Xu would change his mind again.

"Xu, no, I should call you master from now on!"

After putting on the incense, Lin Miao looked at Grandpa Xu with a smile and said, the smile in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

"Um."

Xu Changsheng responded, then picked up the wooden brocade box on the table, touched it lovingly, then held it in both hands and handed it to Lin Miao solemnly,

"This is what my master left behind. Now I give it to you as your apprenticeship ceremony. I hope you can use it to pass on the medical skills of our lineage in the future!"

At this moment, Lin Miao suddenly felt an invisible pressure, but he still stood up and made a serious commitment.

"Yes, Lin Miao will definitely live up to expectations!"

Seeing Lin Miao agree, Mr. Xu nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand gently,

"Okay, you can go back first. I'm a little tired today. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can come to me at any time!"

Lin Miao: "..."

She has already thought about how to explain it, but you don’t ask anything and that’s the end of it?

Although she thought so in her heart, she could also see that Grandpa Xu today, no, he should be her master now.

Something was wrong with his mood, so Lin Miao left without saying anything.

In the yard, Lin Miao stared blankly at the wooden box in his hand, feeling a little unreal——

If it hadn't been for this box, she would have suspected that everything just now was just imagined.

But no matter what, it is a good thing to be able to have Grandpa Xu as my teacher. In the future, my medical skills will be proven, which is very happy!

While she was happy, she thought that since her master had given her the apprenticeship gift, she should also prepare a gift in return.

Lin Miao was thinking as she walked home happily.
