"Then what?" Lin Xi asked.

The old lady said: "From then on, until now, I have never received any letters from her, and I don't even know where she is now."

Lin Xi said: "Don't her family members know?"

The old lady looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Do you know where Guanzhong was originally?"

Of course Lin Xi knew that Guanzhong was thousands of miles away from Jinling. But Lin Xi soon realized that what the old lady asked was not that simple.

She thought for a moment and said with a happy heart: "Jiu Chu?"

The old lady nodded.

Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat.

She was somewhat familiar with the history of the Great Qin. The unification of the Central Plains by the Great Qin was established by Qin Taizu more than 20 years ago. Before that, the Great Qin and the Old Chu stood on opposite sides in the Central Plains, with the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River as the boundary, and the Great Qin occupied the

The southern area, the area north of the old Chu occupation.

This old lady is now more than fifty years old. She must have known that woman thirty years ago at least, when the old Chu State was still around.

In other words, the Guanzhong area still belonged to the old Chu state at that time.

It is equivalent to that woman being a citizen of the old Chu!

She is similar to that woman. She has the jade pendant of the old Chu royal family, and the woman is also from Chu. Isn't this a match?

The old lady said: "That woman was of prominent birth, and was actually a noble person. However, she violated her family's orders and eloped with a man, which was a great shame to her family. Therefore, her family claimed that she had died of a sudden illness.

Death, severing all ties with her."

Lin Xi said: "In other words, her family has never looked for her?"

"It should be so. At least according to the news I know, her family gave up on her and will no longer look for her whereabouts." The old lady sighed, "Later on, something happened and Old Chu was defeated by Great Qin. Many people were against Old Chu.

All the loyal people died for their country."

Lin Xi was stunned, "Her family also died for the country?"

The old lady hummed, "Many people in her family joined the army and died on the battlefield. On the day when the news of the country's subjugation came back, her family members all hanged themselves at home. But at that time, most of her family members only had

The old, weak, women and children have been left behind, and all the men have been lost in the war."

These words sounded very heavy, and Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

The old lady smiled bitterly and said: "Her family is gone, and no one will know her whereabouts. Maybe when the country was destroyed, she, as a Chu native, had nowhere to live and went with her. Or maybe she was in chaos in those few years.

Unfortunately, she didn't survive. But if she was still alive..."

The old lady raised her head, her eyes fell on Lin Xi, and she said in a daze: "Her granddaughter should look like you."

Lin Xi didn't know how to respond to these words.

The old lady didn't seem to need her response. She closed her eyes and said, "As this person gets older, he will always think back to the past. Miss Lin's words today are just that she is old and sick, so there is no need to take it to heart."

."

Lin Xixin said that even if she wanted to take it to heart, she wouldn't dare.

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking: "Old madam, I would like to ask, what is that woman's name?"

The old lady chuckled twice, "It's all in the past, there's no need to know about it. What's important is the days to come."

Lin Xi nodded: "That's what the old lady said."

The old lady struggled to say: "Miss Lin, I am very happy to see you today. However, you should go back early, so you don't have to stay in Jinling anymore."

Lin Xi stood up and said, "Old madam, take care of yourself."

The old lady coughed a few times and seemed to be extremely tired, so she slowly lay down.

Lin Xi stepped forward to help her lie down, looked at her face, and couldn't help but ask: "Old madam, I want to ask you one last question."

The old lady nodded.

Lin Xi said: "In the past, did you have... a granddaughter about the same age as me?"

Hearing this, the old lady opened her eyes and looked at Lin Xi, and shook her head after a moment: "No. I only had two sons in my life, but one of them had a bad fate and was weak. He passed away long ago, leaving only Hong'er. His heirs are not good.

, so far we only have one son, Huaijin."

Lin Xi said no more and told the old lady to have a good rest before leaving.

"Miss Lin."

The old lady suddenly spoke again.

Lin Xi stopped and looked back at her.

The old lady looked at her and said with great effort: "I feel that I am destined to Miss Lin, and I want to ask Miss Lin to agree to do a favor."

Lin Xi said: "Old lady, please tell me."

The old lady said: "If Miss Lin leaves Jinling, please also take my grandson away."

Lin Xi looked surprised, "Why is this? Huaijin is worried about the old lady and will not leave."

The old lady sighed: "...I am already in my dying years, and it will not be good for Huaijin after I have passed the illness. I know that Huaijin is stubborn, but if I persist, Huaijin will still listen."

Lin Xi still felt strange, but seeing that the old lady was too tired to speak, she said nothing and turned around to go out.

Outside, Yi Huaijin was almost sitting on pins and needles. He couldn't sit still, so he walked around, which made Grandma Chang feel very distressed.

"Young Master, please take a rest."

Yi Huaijin said anxiously: "Grandma is seriously ill, how can I settle down and rest?"

Turning around, she finally saw Lin Xi coming out. Yi Huaijin quickly stepped forward: "Aunt Lin, how are you?"

Lin Xi looked at Yi Huaijin at this time and sympathized with him. After thinking about it, he finally said: "The old lady is weak. I can only detoxify the old lady and help her recuperate. But this time the old lady's vitality is really seriously damaged, let me

No matter how superb your medical skills are, the old lady probably still has...five years."

"What?!"

Yi Huaijin felt like he was struck by lightning, unable to stand, staggering and almost falling.

Aunt Chang quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands, holding back her tears and said, "Young Master, you have to take care of yourself! Otherwise, the old lady will worry about you."

Yi Huaijin felt his ears buzzing and his mind went blank.

After a moment, he suddenly pushed Aunt Chang away and staggered in.

Aunt Chang was worried and wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Lin Xi.

"At this moment, the old lady should also want to see Huaijin. Aunt Chang, please don't disturb them."

Aunt Chang looked inside with a sad face, and reluctantly saluted Lin Xi, "Miss Lin, thank you very much."

Lin Xi turned sideways to avoid her greeting and said, "I want to write a prescription for the old lady, and I also ask Grandma Chang to prepare some paper and ink for me."

"It should, it should! Miss Lin, please come with me."

Grandma Chang wiped away her tears, turned around and walked to the side hall.

Lin Xi glanced at the room one last time, sighed and followed.

When they arrived at the side hall, the maid had already polished the ink. Lin Xi thought for a moment and wrote a prescription. He also drew a map of human acupuncture points and marked several acupuncture points on it, as well as the acupuncture method.
